The exception-trace facility on x86 and other architectures prints
traces to dmesg whenever a user space application crashes.
s390 has such a feature since ages however it is called
userprocess_debug and is enabled differently.
This patch makes sure that whenever one of the two procfs files
/proc/sys/kernel/userprocess_debug
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace
is modified the contents of the second one changes as well.
That way we keep backwards compatibilty but also support the same
interface like other architectures do.
Besides that the output of the traces is improved since it will now
also contain the corresponding filename of the vma (when available)
where the process caused a fault or trap.

This update handles a use case where pm_qos update requests need to
silently fail if the update is being sent to a handle that is NULL.
The problem was that the original pm_qos silently fails when a request
update is passed to a parameter that has not been added to the list yet.
This update restores that behavior.

As we are about to add another integer handling proc function a little
bit of cleanup is in order: add a few helper functions to improve code
readability and decrease code duplication.
In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number
with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers
(e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13).
Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this
patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write
operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not
acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the
number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other
errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

The filter_active and enable both use an int (4 bytes each) to

Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is
fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function
structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output
of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events
defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class
define the print functions that all events in the class can use.
This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events
use the same class. The savings here is another 30K.

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.
This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize
various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually
classed to the kind of event it is.
Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization
function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure.
Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since
the initialization is the same for all events within a system.
But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it
to the class.

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure.
Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong
to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead
of the individual events. The events of the same class would just
hold duplicate information.
After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs
4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields
Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files
having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where
new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is
in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields).
This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created.
Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But
we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT()
so this should not be an issue.
The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic
so it should not be a issue.
The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual
events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the
fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and
added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used
to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just
returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall
events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event.
v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list
of fields for both enter and exit.

This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
is now called directly.
The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
other macros will catch it.
The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
a separate pointer for the probe.
To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
created that has the type of control that is needed.
With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
has their footprint dramatically lowered:

The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
critical that the footprint becomes minimal.
v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
specific structure in trace_events.c.
v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
exists.
v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().

value within the function.

This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.
The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)
Will create the register function:
int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
void *data);
As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:
void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}
The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.
This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.
void mycallback(void *data, int value);
register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);
Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.
A more detailed example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
/* In the C file */
DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
[...]
trace_mytracepoint(status);
/* In a file registering this tracepoint */
int my_callback(void *data, int status)
{
struct my_struct my_data = data;
[...]
}
[...]
my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
init_my_data(my_data);
register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:
unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());
will cause an error.
If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:
DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);
Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.
This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig

4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint
Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.
v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.
v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.
v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.
Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().
v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
do not need any arguments.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

SuperIO devices share regions and use lock/unlock operations to chip
select. We therefore need to be able to request a resource and wait for
it to be freed by whichever other SuperIO device currently hogs it.
Right now you have to poll which is horrible.
Add a MUXED field to IO port resources. If the MUXED field is set on the
resource and on the request (via request_muxed_region) then we block
until the previous owner of the muxed resource releases their region.
This allows us to implement proper resource sharing and locking for
superio chips using code of the form
enable_my_superio_dev() {
request_muxed_region(0x44, 0x02, "superio:watchdog");
outb() ..sequence to enable chip
}
disable_my_superio_dev() {

Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't
work as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit
before the read() call.
The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when
we remove counters from their context. Fix this by splitting off
the group destroy from the list removal such that
perf_event_remove_from_context() does not do this and change
perf_event_release() to do so.

This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base
implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames
much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was
used in the initial implementation. I did this because request more
accurately represents what it actually does.
Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string
interface. So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be
accepted by the interface. (someone asked me for it and I don't think
it hurts anything.)
This patch updates some documentation input I got from Randy.

Lai Jiangshan noted that up to 10% of the RCU_SOFTIRQ are spurious, and
traced this down to the fact that the current grace-period machinery
will uselessly raise RCU_SOFTIRQ when a given CPU needs to go through
a quiescent state, but has not yet done so. In this situation, there
might well be nothing that RCU_SOFTIRQ can do, and the overhead can be
worth worrying about in the ksoftirqd case. This patch therefore avoids
raising RCU_SOFTIRQ in this situation.
Changes since v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/30/122 from Lai Jiangshan):
o Omit the rcu_qs_pending() prechecks, as they aren't that
much less expensive than the quiescent-state checks.
o Merge with the set_need_resched() patch that reduces IPIs.
o Add the new n_rp_report_qs field to the rcu_pending tracing output.
o Update the tracing documentation accordingly.

The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of
confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches
for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch
is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.
For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but
special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side
critical section.
However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd
still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer
accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched
quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside
from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to
be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only
increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly
increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.
This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's
context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states.
The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in
general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.
This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent
states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though
probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks
within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the
overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat,
so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined
rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that
a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can
be detected per boot.
This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior
by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep
splats per boot to easily do so.

How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to
describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires
careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits.
Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much
easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that
function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length
assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently.
So this patch simplifies the registration process by having
clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration
function taking care of setting mult/shift.
This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource
driver.
Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs
longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can
keep track of the assumptions being made.

group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through
to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the
events in the group and return failure.

When calling check_prevs_add(), if all validations passed
add_lock_to_list() will add new lock to dependency tree and
alloc stack_trace for each list_entry.
But at this time, we are always on the same stack, so stack_trace
for each list_entry has the same value. This is redundant and eats
up lots of memory which could lead to warning on low
MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES.
Use one copy of stack_trace instead.
V2: As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, move save_trace() from
check_prevs_add() to check_prev_add().
Add tracking for trylock dependence which is also redundant.

The paranoid check which verifies that the cpu_stop callback is

guaranteed by cpu_stop facility and if it didn't work as advertised
other things would go horribly wrong and trying to recover using

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.
This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.
synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.
Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.
stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.
The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.
Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.

This patch adds a cpumask affinity hint to the irq_desc structure,
along with a registration function and a read-only proc entry for each
interrupt.
This affinity_hint handle for each interrupt can be used by underlying
drivers that need a better mechanism to control interrupt affinity.
The underlying driver can register a cpumask for the interrupt, which
will allow the driver to provide the CPU mask for the interrupt to
anything that requests it. The intent is to extend the userspace
daemon, irqbalance, to help hint to it a preferred CPU mask to balance
the interrupt into.

The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance
the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints
through the HBP_NUM macro.
However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get
this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between
different versions.
To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro
and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a
new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have
CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once
as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints
together.
For the others it will be called first to get the number of
instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the
data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a
parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

Depending on their nature and on what an arch supports, breakpoints
may consume more than one address register. For example a simple
absolute address match usually only requires one address register.
But an address range match may consume two registers.
Currently our slot allocation constraints, that tend to reflect the
limited arch's resources, always consider that a breakpoint consumes
one slot.
Then provide a way for archs to tell us the weight of a breakpoint
through a new hw_breakpoint_weight() helper. This weight will be
computed against the generic allocation constraints instead of
a constant value.

There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware
breakpoints.
The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition
space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have
typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers
and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with
separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints
as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example.
The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space
definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address
registers can host either instruction or data address and
the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control
register. This is the case of x86 and Super H.
This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config
that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those
will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and
data breakpoints.
The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and
instruction breakpoints.

The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.
We want the following new policies:
- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.
To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

In short: change cancel_work_sync(work) to mark this work as "never
queued" upon return.
When cancel_work_sync(work) succeeds, we know that this work can't be
queued or running, and since we own WORK_STRUCT_PENDING nobody can change
the bits in work->data under us. This means we can also clear the "cwq"
part along with _PENDING bit lockless before return, unless the work is
queued nobody can assume get_wq_data() is stable even under cwq->lock.
This change can speedup the subsequent cancel/flush requests, and as
Dmitry pointed out this simplifies the usage of work_struct's which
can be queued on different workqueues. Consider this pseudo code from
the input subsystem:
struct workqueue_struct *WQ;
struct work_struct *WORK;
for (;;) {
WQ = create_workqueue();
...
if (condition())
queue_work(WQ, WORK);
...
cancel_work_sync(WORK);
destroy_workqueue(WQ);
}
If condition() returns T and then F, cancel_work_sync() will crash the
kernel because WORK->data still points to the already destroyed workqueue.
With this patch the code like above becomes correct.

When sleep_time is off the function profiler ignores the time that a task
is scheduled out. When the task is scheduled out a timestamp is taken.
When the task is scheduled back in, the timestamp is compared to the
current time and the saved calltimes are adjusted accordingly.
But when stopping the function profiler, the sched switch hook that
does this adjustment was stopped before shutting down the tracer.
This allowed some tasks to not get their timestamps set when they
scheduled out. When the function profiler started again, this would
skew the times of the scheduler functions.
This patch moves the stopping of the sched switch to after the function
profiler is stopped. It also ignores zero set calltimes, which may
happen on start up.

When combined with function graph tracing the ftrace function profiler
also prints the average run time of functions. While this gives us some
good information, it doesn't tell us anything about the variance of the
run times of the function. This change prints out the s^2 sample
standard deviation alongside the average.
This change adds one entry to the profile record structure. This
increases the memory footprint of the function profiler by 1/3 on a
32-bit system, and by 1/5 on a 64-bit system when function graphing is
enabled, though the memory is only allocated when the profiler is turned
on. During the profiling, one extra line of code adds the squared
calltime to the new record entry, so this should not adversly affect
performance.
Note that the square of the sample standard deviation is printed because
there is no sqrt implementation for unsigned long long in the kernel.

When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is
performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing.
This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open
up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus.
Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is
desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we
transform the existing sequence:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(),
into the following:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_prepare();
}
ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync();
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to
do the synchronize_sched().
The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter'
memory and increments ->record_disabled.
In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this
->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus.
And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset
the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that
none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more.
This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a
sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing.

Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
in the context of a task wake-up:
a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that
the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our
wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the
domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently
woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran.
b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is
currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run
cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check
for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently.
c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but
with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up
on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran
and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on
wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause
an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the
periodic load balancer.
Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using
wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu,
then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.

Chase reported that due to us decrementing calc_load_task prematurely

by as much as the number of CPUs in the machine.
This patch, based on Chase's patch, cures the problem by keeping the
delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately and folding that in
on the next LOAD_FREQ update.

Due to recent load-balancer changes that delay the task migration to

when the owner's CPU gets offlined because the cpu_online() check
lives before the owner running check.
This patch changes mutex_spin_on_owner() to return 0 (don't spin) in
any case where we aren't sure about the owner struct validity or CPU
number, and if the said CPU is offline. There is no point going back &

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.
The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be
tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look
like:

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.

v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling
attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending
return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a
kfree(tgcred) is inserted.
This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by

The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion
on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel.
The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we
have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs.
There are two side effects of this:
- we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give
us the desired result.
- if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the
user context. We want to actually ignore the event.
get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so
use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows
when an event must be ignored.

Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.
This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
down with a growing number of events running on the same
contexts.
To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
they trigger.
v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic
maths along the way)
- Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the
refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it
if needed when it becomes online.
- Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore.
v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to
Eric Dumazet who spotted this.
- While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path
to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

Running interrupt handlers with interrupts enabled can cause stack
overflows. That has been observed with multiqueue NICs delivering all
their interrupts to a single core. We might band aid that somehow by
checking the interrupt stacks, but the real safe fix is to run the irq
handlers with interrupts disabled.
Drivers for whacky hardware still can reenable them in the handler
itself, if the need arises. (They do already due to lockdep)
The risk of doing this is rather low:
- lockdep already enforces this
- CONFIG_NOHZ has shaken out the drivers which relied on jiffies updates
- time keeping is not longer sensitive to the timer interrupt being delayed

Now that we enjoy threaded interrupts, we're starting to see irq_chip
implementations (wm831x, pca953x) that make use of threaded interrupts
for the controller, and nested interrupts for the client interrupt. It
all works very well, with one drawback:
Drivers requesting an IRQ must now know whether the handler will
run in a thread context or not, and call request_threaded_irq() or
request_irq() accordingly.
The problem is that the requesting driver sometimes doesn't know
about the nature of the interrupt, specially when the interrupt
controller is a discrete chip (typically a GPIO expander connected
over I2C) that can be connected to a wide variety of otherwise perfectly
supported hardware.
This patch introduces the request_any_context_irq() function that mostly
mimics the usual request_irq(), except that it checks whether the irq
level is configured as nested or not, and calls the right backend.
On success, it also returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED.

With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly
half a second off.
This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the
time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the
xtime_cache related code.
This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change,
where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be
not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling
the edge case in update_wall_time().

The comment suggests that this usage is stale. There is no bkl in the
exec path so if there is a race lurking there, the bkl in ptrace is
not going to help in this regard.
Overview of the possibility of "accidental" races this bkl might
protect:
- ptrace_traceme() is protected against task removal and concurrent
read/write on current->ptrace as it locks write tasklist_lock.
- arch_ptrace_attach() is serialized by ptrace_traceme() against
concurrent PTRACE_TRACEME or PTRACE_ATTACH
- ptrace_attach() is protected the same way ptrace_traceme() and
in turn serializes arch_ptrace_attach()
- ptrace_check_attach() does its own well described serializing too.
There is no obvious race here.

While HR timers have had the concept of timer slack for quite some time
now, the legacy timers lacked this concept, and had to make do with
round_jiffies() and friends.
Timer slack is important for power management; grouping timers reduces the
number of wakeups which in turn reduces power consumption.
This patch introduces timer slack to the legacy timers using the following
pieces:
* A slack field in the timer struct
* An api (set_timer_slack) that callers can use to set explicit timer slack
* A default slack of 0.4% of the requested delay for callers that do not set
any explicit slack
* Rounding code that is part of mod_timer() that tries to
group timers around jiffies values every 'power of two'
(so quick timers will group around every 2, but longer timers
will group around every 4, 8, 16, 32 etc)

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.
Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.
Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.

Locking statistics are implemented using global atomic
variables. This is usually fine unless some path write them very
often.
This is the case for the function and function graph tracers
that disable irqs for each entry saved (except if the function
tracer is in preempt disabled only mode).
And calls to local_irq_save/restore() increment
hardirqs_on_events and hardirqs_off_events stats (or similar
stats for redundant versions).
Incrementing these global vars for each function ends up in too
much cache bouncing if lockstats are enabled.
To solve this, implement the debug_atomic_*() operations using
per cpu vars.
-v2: Use per_cpu() instead of get_cpu_var() to fetch the desired
cpu vars on debug_atomic_read()
-v3: Store the stats in a structure. No need for local_t as we
are NMI/irq safe.
-v4: Fix tons of build errors. I thought I had tested it but I
probably forgot to select the relevant config.

There have been a number of reports of people seeing the message:
"name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:05, inode=3185"
in dmesg. These usually lead to people reporting problems to the filesystem
group who are in turn clueless what they mean.
Eventually someone finds me and I explain what is going on and that
these come from the audit system. The basics of the problem is that the
audit subsystem never expects a single syscall to 'interact' (for some
wish washy meaning of interact) with more than 20 inodes. But in fact
some operations like loading kernel modules can cause changes to lots of
inodes in debugfs.
There are a couple real fixes being bandied about including removing the
fixed compile time limit of 20 or not auditing changes in debugfs (or
both) but neither are small and obvious so I am not sending them for
immediate inclusion (I hope Al forwards a real solution next devel
window).
In the meantime this patch simply adds 'audit' to the beginning of the
crap message so if a user sees it, they come blame me first and we can
talk about what it means and make sure we understand all of the reasons
it can happen and make sure this gets solved correctly in the long run.

This is a kgdb architectural change to have all the cpus (master or
slave) enter the same function.
A cpu that hits an exception (wants to be the master cpu) will call
kgdb_handle_exception() from the trap handler and then invoke a
kgdb_roundup_cpu() to synchronize the other cpus and bring them into
the kgdb_handle_exception() as well.
A slave cpu will enter kgdb_handle_exception() from the
kgdb_nmicallback() and set the exception state to note that the
processor is a slave.
Previously the salve cpu would have called kgdb_wait(). This change
allows the debug core to change cpus without resuming the system in
order to inspect arch specific cpu information.

interface to support a proper flags field.
Replace the int wakeup, bool head arguments with an int flags argument
and create the following flags:
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP - the enqueue is a wakeup of a sleeping task,
ENQUEUE_WAKING - the enqueue has relative vruntime due to
having sched_class::task_waking() called,
ENQUEUE_HEAD - the waking task should be places on the head
of the priority queue (where appropriate).
For symmetry also convert sched_class::dequeue() to a flags scheme.

Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork.
- since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe
- since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could
be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually
providing full serialization.
(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING.
Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but
only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq().
Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call,
this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the
rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.
Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we
cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,

This can race with other CPUs updating our ->cpus_allowed, and this

The task is current and running, it must have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed,
the fallback mode is bogus. And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu,
this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called
for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq()
again?
Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do
nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock.
From now task_struct->cpus_allowed is always stable under TASK_WAKING,
select_fallback_rq() is always called under rq-lock or the caller or
the caller owns TASK_WAKING (select_task_rq).

move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed
lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel.
Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not
trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck
the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not
need this lock.
To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on
TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise.
The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct
CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because
p->se.on_rq must be false.
Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right
after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly.
Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is
broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work.
- cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in
try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path.
- cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes
callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex
stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
T can't be scheduled.
- cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock()
which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq.
Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like
we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS.
Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the
callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with
set_cpus_allowed() pathes.
The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.

Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered
in perf_swevent_add().
Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get
the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to
do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went
to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is
even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread.
Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the
non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults
or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event,
we need to save the current context.
This makes the task migration event working and fix the context

The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events
is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8
by alloc_percpu().
But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast
this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT()
macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed
inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment.
Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and
perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer
is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get
shrinked under us.
This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock
in sparc 64.

Currently, binary readers of the ring buffer only know where events were
lost, but not how many events were lost at that location.
This information is available, but it would require adding another
field to the sub buffer header to include it.
But when a event can not fit at the end of a sub buffer, it is written
to the next sub buffer. This means there is a good chance that the
buffer may have room to hold this counter. If it does, write
the counter at the end of the sub buffer and set another flag
in the data size field that states that this information exists.

events were lost, which the iterator does not do.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record
the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event
was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any
place holder where the event was dropped.
This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly
runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring
buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data.
In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when
the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder
for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then
a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped
events.
But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place
holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never
may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the
placeholder.
Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out
if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write
takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it
updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of
lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer,
it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to
see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be
the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader
and returned to callers of the reader.
Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head
page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room
to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader
sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap,
if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been
updated since the setup before the swap.
For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header
of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded
in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size
can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27
bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually).
We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the
number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the
format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can
be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered
important enough.
Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads
or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not
keep this information because the necessary data is only available when
a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

If modules are configured in the build but unloading of modules is not,
then the refcnt is not defined. Place the get/put module tracepoints
under CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD since it references this field in the module
structure.
As a side-effect, this patch also reduces the code when MODULE_UNLOAD
is not set, because these unused tracepoints are not created.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Remove the @refcnt argument, because it has side-effects, and arguments with
side-effects are not skipped by the jump over disabled instrumentation and are
executed even when the tracepoint is disabled.
This was also causing a GPF as found by Randy Dunlap:

Network folks reported that directing all MSI-X vectors of their multi
queue NICs to a single core can cause interrupt stack overflows when
enough interrupts fire at the same time.
This is caused by the fact that we run interrupt handlers by default
with interrupts enabled unless the driver reuqests the interrupt with
the IRQF_DISABLED set. The NIC handlers do not set this flag, so
simultaneous interrupts can nest unlimited and cause the stack
overflow.
The only safe counter measure is to run the interrupt handlers with
interrupts disabled. We can't switch to this mode in general right
now, but it is safe to do so for MSI interrupts.
Force IRQF_DISABLED for MSI interrupt handlers.

* 'x86-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
x86: Do not free zero sized per cpu areas
x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary
x86: Make smp_locks end with page alignment
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw
those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer
state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so
then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates
that the task should remain frozen.
This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state
transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads
or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that
resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if
there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this
transition before suspend.
NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup
freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons:
Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires
walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen.
Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number
of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code
path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered.
Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy
updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that
a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that
state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen
cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.
Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.
So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
