Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.
The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1 set new bits
0 clear disallowed bits
alloc on node1? NO 0
...
can't alloc page
goto oom
This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

Fix up trivial conflicts in kernel/fork.c and tools/perf/builtin-record.c
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.

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() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at
the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it
was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which
can change cpu-affinity during unplug.
_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,
take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable()
removes the dying cpu from cpu_online_mask.

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*()

Both avg_overlap and avg_wakeup had an inherent problem in that their accuracy
was detrimentally affected by cross-cpu wakeups, this because we are missing
the necessary call to update_curr(). This can't be fixed without increasing
overhead in our already too fat fastpath.
Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks
in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating
tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned
into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS. With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine()
rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking
frequent cache misses.
Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.

Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among
threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.
This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.
Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.
rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
[before]
4.5 cache-miss/faults
[after]
4.0 cache-miss/faults
Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

futex: Handle futex value corruption gracefully
futex: Handle user space corruption gracefully
futex_lock_pi() key refcnt fix
softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resume
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets
the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this
configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on
resuming or detaching from a debug session.
Sequence of events in the problem case:
1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior
to a call to kgdb_handle_exception()
2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on
exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() -->
__raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0;
3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the
interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec
4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from
kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock"
update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES"
here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) -->
__touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp"
to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be
set to 100s.) ...
scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched
clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... }
5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large
jump and trips the softlockup warning.
update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" =
180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... }
note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to
"get_timestamp(this_cpu)"
Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec?
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of
get_timestamp() is:
get_timestamp(this_cpu)
-->cpu_clock(this_cpu)
-->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu)
-->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now)
The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to
create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now"
value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored.
The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched
clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by
introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This
allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the
watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

This reverts commit e4c570c4cb, as
requested by Alexey:
"I think I gave a good enough arguments to not merge it.
To iterate:
* patch makes impossible to start using ext3 on EXT3_FS=n kernels
without reboot.
* this is done only for one pointer on task_struct"
None of config options which define task_struct are tristate directly
or effectively."

In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we
need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites.
The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from
se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on
enqueue.
However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since
we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative
position.
To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks,
we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and
activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the
min_vruntime invariance to that state.
The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to
maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue,
but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right
before we activate it again.
This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call
this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into
->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and
would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a
fudge.
This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork()
leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.
This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and
ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

As will be apparent in the next patch, we need a pre wakeup hook
for sched_fair task migration, hence rename the post wakeup hook
and one pre wakeup.

No changes in compiled code. The patch adds the new helper, si_fromuser()
and changes check_kill_permission() to use this helper.
The real effect of this patch is that from now we "officially" consider
SEND_SIG_NOINFO signal as "from user-space" signals. This is already true
if we look at the code which uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO, except __send_signal()
has another opinion - see the next patch.
The naming of these special SEND_SIG_XXX siginfo's is really bad
imho. From __send_signal()'s pov they mean
SEND_SIG_NOINFO from user
SEND_SIG_PRIV from kernel
SEND_SIG_FORCED no info

In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.
Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
- uncharge is done by
- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
- one by one via vmscan/paging.
It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.
This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).
The degree of coalescing depends on callers
- at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
- at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.
On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.
[without memcg config]
40156968 page-faults # 0.085 M/sec ( +- 0.046% )
27.67 cache-miss/faults
[root cgroup]
36659599 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec ( +- 0.247% )
31.58 miss/faults
[in a child cgroup]
18444157 page-faults # 0.039 M/sec ( +- 0.133% )
69.96 miss/faults
[child with this patch]
27133719 page-faults # 0.057 M/sec ( +- 0.155% )
47.16 miss/faults
We can see some amounts of improvement.
(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch)
Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.
Changelog(since 2009/10/02):
- renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes)
- some clean up and commentary/description updates.
- added initialize code to copy_process(). (possible bug fix)
Changelog(old):
- fixed !CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP case.
- rebased onto the latest mmotm + softlimit fix patches.
- unified patch for callers
- added commetns.
- make ->do_batch as bool.
- removed css_get() at el. We don't need it.
