fd4afaf333 genirq: Streamline kernel/irq/Kconfig
"def_bool n" without prompt is pointless, these should be just "bool".

70433c0161 genirq: Use the correct variable for note_interrupt
note_interrupt wants to be called with the combined result of all
handlers called, not with the last one. If it's a shared interrupt
then the last handler might return IRQ_NONE often enough to trigger
the spurious dectector which turns off a perfectly fine working
interrupt line. Bug was introduced in commit 1277a532(genirq: Simplify
handle_irq_event()).

Yes, I really messed up there. First the variable ret should not have
been named differently to avoid similarity with retval. Second it
should have been declared in the do {} loop.

Rename it to res and move it into the do {} loop and vanish under a
huge brown paperbag.

70a08cca12 timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base
CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).

For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.

This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.

e06383db9e hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids
The hrtimer code is written mainly with CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC
in mind. These are clockids 0 and 1 resepctively. However, if we are
to introduce any new hrtimer bases, using new clockids, we have to skip
the cputimers (clockids 2,3) as well as other clockids that may not impelement
timers.

This patch adds a little bit of indirection between the clockid and
the base, so that we can extend the base by one when we add
a new clockid at number 7 or so.

ed4dea6e0e genirq: Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as search size in irq_alloc_descs()
The runtime expansion of nr_irqs does not take into account that
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() returns "start" + size in case the search
for an matching zero area fails. That results in a start value which
can be completely off and is not covered by the following
expand_nr_irqs() and possibly outside of the absolute limit. But we
use it without further checking.

Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as the limit for the bitmap search and expand
nr_irqs when the start bit is beyond nr_irqs. So start is always
pointing to the correct area in the bitmap. nr_irqs is just the limit
for irq enumerations, not the real limit for the irq space.

[ tglx: Let irq_expand_nr_irqs() take the new upper end so we do not
  	expand nr_irqs more than necessary. Made changelog readable ]

fe200ae48e genirq: Mark polled irqs and defer the real handler
With the chip.end() function gone we might run into a situation where
a poll call runs and the real interrupt comes in, sees IRQ_INPROGRESS
and disables the line. That might be a perfect working one, which will
then be masked forever.

So mark them polled while the poll runs. When the real handler sees
IRQ_INPROGRESS it checks the poll flag and waits for the polling to
complete. Add the necessary amount of sanity checks to it to avoid
deadlocks.

3b8249e759 genirq: Do not copy affinity before set
While rumaging through arch code I found that there are a few
workarounds which deal with the fact that the initial affinity setting
from request_irq() copies the mask into irq_data->affinity before the
chip code is called. In the normal path we unconditionally copy the
mask when the chip code returns 0.

Copy after the code is called and add a return code
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY for the chip functions, which prevents the
copy. That way we see the real mask when the chip function decided to
truncate it further as some arches do. IRQ_SET_MASK_OK is 0, which is
the current behaviour.

e7bcecb7b1 genirq: Make nr_irqs runtime expandable
We face more and more the requirement to expand nr_irqs at
runtime. The reason are irq expanders which can not be detected in the
early boot stage. So we speculate nr_irqs to have enough room. Further
Xen needs extra irq numbers and we really want to avoid adding more
"detection" code into the early boot. There is no real good reason why
we need to limit nr_irqs at early boot.

Allow the allocation code to expand nr_irqs. We have already 8k extra
number space in the allocation bitmap, so lets use it.

6d83f94db9 genirq: Disable the SHIRQ_DEBUG call in request_threaded_irq for now
With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().

The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.

It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....

Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.

Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.

Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.

A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.

Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

c1ee626428 genirq: Prevent access beyond allocated_irqs bitmap
Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out:

   I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using
   SPARSE_IRQ.  Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper
   limit for the number of IRQs.

   Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with
   IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core.

   In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine
   defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS".

   As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again
   causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be
   accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data.

The core code really misses a sanity check there.

This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places
data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected
platforms.

So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init()
and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be
backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known
problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as
well. Lots of churn.

A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and
avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when
an arch returns utter crap.

46e49b3836 sched: Wholesale removal of sd_idle logic
sd_idle logic was introduced way back in 2005 (commit 5969fe06),
as an HT optimization.

As per the discussion in the thread here:

  lkml - sched: Resolve sd_idle and first_idle_cpu Catch-22 - v1
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/532501/

The capacity based logic in the load balancer right now handles this
in a much cleaner way, handling more than 2 SMT siblings etc, and sd_idle
does not seem to bring any additional benefits. sd_idle logic also has
some bugs that has performance impact. Here is the patch that removes
the sd_idle logic altogether.

Also, there was a dependency of sched_mc_power_savings == 2, with sd_idle
logic.

e5d1367f17 perf: Add cgroup support
This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.

The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.

For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:

struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;

cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling.
Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in

This patch enables gcov kernel profiling over the whole kernel for sh.
Profiling of specific files individually already worked. A handful of
files have to be explicitly excluded from the profiling to avoid
breaking things, notably pmb.c.

7576958a9d workqueue: wake up a worker when a rescuer is leaving a gcwq
After executing the matching works, a rescuer leaves the gcwq whether
there are more pending works or not.  This may decrease the
concurrency level to zero and stall execution until a new work item is
queued on the gcwq.

Make rescuer wake up a regular worker when it leaves a gcwq if there
are more works to execute, so that execution isn't stalled.

01e05e9a90 ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach()
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state.  IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called.  This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.

The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.

This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector.  I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere.  Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked.  Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

868baf07b1 ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplug
When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.

On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.

ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.

The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

In commit ce6ada35bd ("security: Define CAP_SYSLOG") Serge Hallyn
introduced CAP_SYSLOG, but broke backwards compatibility by no longer
accepting CAP_SYS_ADMIN as an override (it would cause a warning and
then reject the operation).

Re-instate CAP_SYS_ADMIN - but keeping the warning - as an acceptable
capability until any legacy applications have been updated.  There are
apparently applications out there that drop all capabilities except for
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to access the syslog.

(This is a re-implementation of a patch by Serge, cleaning the logic up

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.

This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.

This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

61e9dea20e tracing/filter: Use a tree instead of stack for filter_match_preds()
Currently the filter_match_preds() requires a stack to push
and pop the preds to determine if the filter matches the record or not.
This has two drawbacks:

1) It requires a stack to store state information. As this is done
   in fast paths we can't allocate the storage for this stack, and
   we can't use a global as it must be re-entrant. The stack is stored
   on the kernel stack and this greatly limits how many preds we
   may allow.

2) All conditions are calculated even when a short circuit exists.
   a || b  will always calculate a and b even though a was determined
   to be true.

Using a tree we can walk a constant structure that will save
the state as we go. The algorithm is simply:

  pred = root;
  do {
	switch (move) {
	case MOVE_DOWN:
		if (OR or AND) {
			pred = left;
			continue;
		}
		if (pred == root)
			break;
		match = pred->fn();
		pred = pred->parent;
		move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
		continue;

	case MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT:
		/* Only OR or AND can be a parent */
		if (match && OR || !match && AND) {
			/* short circuit */
			if (pred == root)
				break;
			pred = pred->parent;
			move = left child ?
				MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT :
				MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
			continue;
		}
		pred = pred->right;
		move = MOVE_DOWN;
		continue;

	case MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT:
		if (pred == root)
			break;
		pred = pred->parent;
		move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
		continue;
	}
	done = 1;
  } while (!done);

This way there's no strict limit to how many preds we allow
and it also will short circuit the logical operations when possible.

74e9e58c35 tracing/filter: Allocate the preds in an array
Currently we allocate an array of pointers to filter_preds, and then
allocate a separate filter_pred for each item in the array.
This adds slight overhead in the filters as it needs to derefernce
twice to get to the op condition.

Allocating the preds themselves in a single array removes a dereference
as well as helps on the cache footprint.

By separating out the reseting of the filter->n_preds to zero from
the reallocation of preds for the filter, we can reset groups of

c9c53ca03d tracing/filter: Dynamically allocate preds
For every filter that is made, we create predicates to hold every
operation within the filter. We have a max of 32 predicates that we
can hold. Currently, we allocate all 32 even if we only need to
use one.

Part of the reason we do this is that the filter can be used at
any moment by any event. Fortunately, the filter is only used
with preemption disabled. By reseting the count of preds used "n_preds"
to zero, then performing a synchronize_sched(), we can safely
free and reallocate a new array of preds.

In prepare_kernel_cred() since 2.6.29, put_cred(new) is called without
assigning new->usage when security_prepare_creds() returned an error.  As a
result, memory for new and refcount for new->{user,group_info,tgcred} are
leaked because put_cred(new) won't call __put_cred() unless old->usage == 1.

Fix these leaks by assigning new->usage (and new->subscribers which was added

In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with
new->security == NULL and new->magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank()

If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because
cred->magic == 0.  Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free()
because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred->security == NULL.  This does
not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free().

Fix these bugs by

(1) Set new->magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank().

(2) Handle null cred->security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free().

e.g.

Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at
4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register:

 +4(%ax):b2@4/32

Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added
the container-size at the end.

Cure this by using _local_bh_enable() which doesn't start processing

3d56e331b6 tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array
Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are
placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker
makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot
up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall
data is processed.

The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.

A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).

Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).

By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.

The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

6549864629 tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler
changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with
respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller:
use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export
this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se.
It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8
for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes.

History:

commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()
added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures
to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte
multiples.

One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying
both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and
declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5.

The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment
for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on
larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an
array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the
extra unexpected padding.

(this patch applies on top of -tip)

d95f412200 sched: Add yield_to(task, preempt) functionality
Currently only implemented for fair class tasks.

Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the
caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group,
task group.

Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the
target being selected.  We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things
fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair
share of CPU time.

This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really
mean it.  Calling it too often can result in the scheduler just
ignoring the hint.

Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair.  This

We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check
yield first, then last, then next.  We need next to be able
to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and
"yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree
of the CFS tree.  When they are, we need to go into that
sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct
entity once we get to the right level.

2c13c919d9 sched: Limit the scope of clear_buddies
The clear_buddies function does not seem to play well with the concept
of hierarchical runqueues.  In the following tree, task groups are
represented by 'G', tasks by 'T', next by 'n' and last by 'l'.

     (nl)
    /    \
   G(nl)  G
   / \     \
 T(l) T(n)  T

This situation can arise when a task is woken up T(n), and the previously
running task T(l) is marked last.

When clear_buddies is called from either T(l) or T(n), the next and last
buddies of the group G(nl) will be cleared.  This is not the desired
result, since we would like to be able to find the other type of buddy
in many cases.

This especially a worry when implementing yield_task_fair through the
buddy system.

The fix is simple: only clear the buddy type that the task itself
is indicated to be.  As an added bonus, we stop walking up the tree
when the buddy has already been cleared or pointed elsewhere.

This patch reworks the task_oncpu_function_call() interface to give a

more obvious as well as remove the races.

While looking at the code I also found a number of races against
perf_event_task_sched_out() which can flip contexts between tasks so
plug those too.

0606f422b4 posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocks
This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The
clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is
represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver
may optionally implement custom character device operations.

The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with
dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks.
The following system calls are affected:

   - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall)
   - clock_gettime
   - clock_getres
   - clock_settime
   - timer_create
   - timer_delete
   - timer_gettime
   - timer_settime

[ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup. Moved clock_posix_dynamic

81e294cba2 posix-timers: Add support for fd based clocks
Extend the negative clockids which are currently used by posix cpu
timers to encode the PID with a file descriptor based type which
encodes the fd in the upper bits.

f1f1d5ebd1 posix-timers: Introduce a syscall for clock tuning.
A new syscall is introduced that allows tuning of a POSIX clock. The
new call, clock_adjtime, takes two parameters, the clock ID and a
pointer to a struct timex. Any ADJTIMEX(2) operation may be requested
via this system call, but various POSIX clocks may or may not support
tuning.

c528f7c6c2 time: Introduce timekeeping_inject_offset
This adds a kernel-internal timekeeping interface to add or subtract
a fixed amount from CLOCK_REALTIME. This makes it so kernel users or
interfaces trying to do so do not have to read the time, then add an
offset and then call settimeofday(), which adds some extra error in
comparision to just simply adding the offset in the kernel timekeeping
core.

4135038a58 watchdog: Fix broken nowatchdog logic
Passing nowatchdog to kernel disables 2 things: creation of
watchdog threads AND initialization of percpu watchdog_hrtimer.
As hrtimers are initialized only at boot it's not possible to
enable watchdog later - for me all watchdog threads started to
eat 100% of CPU time, but they could just crash.

Additionally, even if these threads would start properly,
watchdog_disable_all_cpus was guarded by no_watchdog check, so
you couldn't disable watchdog.

To fix this, remove no_watchdog variable and use already
existing watchdog_enabled variable.

8161239a8b rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock
In current rtmutex, the pending owner may be boosted by the tasks
in the rtmutex's waitlist when the pending owner is deboosted
or a task in the waitlist is boosted. This boosting is unrelated,
because the pending owner does not really take the rtmutex.
It is not reasonable.

Example.

time1:
A(high prio) onwers the rtmutex.
B(mid prio) and C (low prio) in the waitlist.

time2
A release the lock, B becomes the pending owner
A(or other high prio task) continues to run. B's prio is lower
than A, so B is just queued at the runqueue.

time3
A or other high prio task sleeps, but we have passed some time
The B and C's prio are changed in the period (time2 ~ time3)
due to boosting or deboosting. Now C has the priority higher
than B. ***Is it reasonable that C has to boost B and help B to
get the rtmutex?

NO!! I think, it is unrelated/unneed boosting before B really
owns the rtmutex. We should give C a chance to beat B and
win the rtmutex.

This is the motivation of this patch. This patch *ensures*
only the top waiter or higher priority task can take the lock.

How?
1) we don't dequeue the top waiter when unlock, if the top waiter
   is changed, the old top waiter will fail and go to sleep again.
2) when requiring lock, it will get the lock when the lock is not taken and:
   there is no waiter OR higher priority than waiters OR it is top waiter.
3) In any time, the top waiter is changed, the top waiter will be woken up.

The algorithm is much simpler than before, no pending owner, no
boosting for pending owner.

Other advantage of this patch:
1) The states of a rtmutex are reduced a half, easier to read the code.
2) the codes become shorter.
3) top waiter is not dequeued until it really take the lock:
   they will retain FIFO when it is stolen.

Not advantage nor disadvantage
1) Even we may wakeup multiple waiters(any time when top waiter changed),
   we hardly cause "thundering herd",
   the number of wokenup task is likely 1 or very little.
2) two APIs are changed.
   rt_mutex_owner() will not return pending owner, it will return NULL when
                    the top waiter is going to take the lock.
   rt_mutex_next_owner() always return the top waiter.
	                 will not return NULL if we have waiters
                         because the top waiter is not dequeued.

   I have fixed the code that use these APIs.

da7a735e51 sched: Fix switch_from_fair()
When a task is taken out of the fair class we must ensure the vruntime
is properly normalized because when we put it back in it will assume
to be normalized.

The case that goes wrong is when changing away from the fair class
while sleeping. Sleeping tasks have non-normalized vruntime in order
to make sleeper-fairness work. So treat the switch away from fair as a
wakeup and preserve the relative vruntime.

Also update sysrq-n to call the ->switch_{to,from} methods.

abb74cefa9 sched: Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING adds ns granularity irq time on each CPU.
This info is already used in scheduler to do proper task chargeback
(earlier patches). This patch retro-fits this ns granularity
hardirq and softirq information to /proc/stat irq and softirq fields.

The update is still done on timer tick, where we look at accumulated
ns hardirq/softirq time and account the tick to user/system/irq/hardirq/guest
accordingly.

No new interface added.

Earlier versions looked at adding this as new fields in some /proc
files. This one seems to be the best in terms of impact to existing
apps, even though it has somewhat more kernel code than earlier versions.

f07333bf6e sched: Avoid expensive initial update_cfs_load()
Since cfs->{load_stamp,load_last} are zero-initalized the initial load update
will consider the delta to be 'since the beginning of time'.

This results in a lot of pointless divisions to bring this large period to be
within the sysctl_sched_shares_window.

Fix this by initializing load_stamp to be 1 at cfs_rq initialization, this
allows for an initial load_stamp > load_last which then lets standard idle
truncation proceed.

We avoid spinning (and slightly improve consistency) by fixing delta to be
[period - 1] in this path resulting in a slightly more predictable shares ramp.
(Previously the amount of idle time preserved by the overflow would range between
[period/2,period-1].)

Also, in the update_cfs_load case there's no point
in maintaining averages for rq->cfs_rq since we don't perform shares

result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()

This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.

The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()

This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

synchronises these two:

    static int __read_mostly sysrq_enabled = 1;
    static int __sysrq_enabled;

3ff6dcac73 sched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bug
Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup
scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems.

It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code,
and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it
more prominently.

When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares
only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in
tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares()
does nothing on UP.

So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled,
but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if
built-in, are completely invisible from userspace.

This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are
compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate
section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute
in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

806839b22c perf: perf_event_exit_task_context: s/rcu_dereference/rcu_dereference_raw/
In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[]
is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any
moment, we need read_barrier_depends().

dbe08d82ce "perf: Fix
find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

547e9fd7d3 perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat
Lockdep spotted:

	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7

	but task is already holding lock:
	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218

	which lock already depends on the new lock.

	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

	-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:

But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
(task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
used by tasks.

225c8e010f kernel/smp.c: consolidate writes in smp_call_function_interrupt()
We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the
refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and
find it partially initailzed for the next trip.  Presently we also clear
the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies
getting write access to the line.  After the function is called we then
decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure.

However, this implies getting write access to the call function data
before and after another the function is called.  If we can assert that no
smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then
we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing
both writes with one cache line bounce.

On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time
to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was
reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms.

I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even
though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the
information needed.

6dc1989995 kernel/smp.c: fix smp_call_function_many() SMP race
I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt:

                if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask))
                        continue;

                data->csd.func(data->csd.info);

                refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs);
                WARN_ON(refs < 0);      <-------------------------

We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0.  How can this be?

It turns out commit 54fdade1c3
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault.  It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.

The problem comes about because:

 - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
   without any locking.
 - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
 - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
   smp_call_function_many.

Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between.  We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:

CPU A            CPU B                  CPU C              CPU D

smp_call_function
                                        smp_call_function_interrupt
                                            walks
					call_function.queue sees
					data from CPU A on list

                 smp_call_function

                                        smp_call_function_interrupt
                                            walks

                                        call_function.queue sees
                                          (stale) CPU A on list
							   smp_call_function int
							   clears last ref on A
							   list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
                                         data->cpumask sees and
                                         clears bit in cpumask
                                         might be using old or new fn!
                                         decrements refs below 0

set data->refs (too late!)

The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.

The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC
box (having 128 threads does help :)

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>

#define ITERATIONS 100

static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy)
{
}

static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
		smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1);

	printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id());
}

{
	int cpu;

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
		INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis);
		schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]);
	}

	return 0;
}

static void __exit testcase_exit(void)
{
}

module_init(testcase_init)
module_exit(testcase_exit)
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard");

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs.  In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.

Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

[miltonm@bga.com: add WARN_ON and BUG_ON, remove extra read of refs before initial read of mask that doesn't help (also noted by Peter Zijlstra), adjust comments, hopefully clarify scenario ]

bd924e8cbd smp: Allow on_each_cpu() to be called while early_boot_irqs_disabled status to init/main.c
percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in
turn may call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes.  The function of
on_each_cpu() can be done safely while IRQ is disabled during
early boot but it assumed that the function is always called
with local IRQ enabled which ended up enabling local IRQ
prematurely during boot and triggering a couple of warnings.

This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many()
such on_each_cpu() can be used safely while
early_boot_irqs_disabled is set.

2ce802f62b lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.c
During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized.  During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.

lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available.  While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.

2d0640b47d hrtimers: Notify hrtimer users of switches to NOHZ mode
When NOHZ=y and high res timers are disabled (via cmdline or
Kconfig) tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() will notify the user about
switching into NOHZ mode. Nothing is printed for the case where
HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. Fix this for the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y case by
duplicating the printk from the low res NOHZ path in the high
res NOHZ path.

This confused me since I was thinking 'dmesg | grep -i NOHZ' would
tell me if NOHZ was enabled, but if I have hrtimers there is
nothing.

dbe08d82ce perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race
find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().

If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
necessary put_ctx().

find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
has already done the last schedule().

Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.

Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
looks better.

Fix a bunch of
	warning: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration
messages when building a 'make allyesconfig' kernel with -Wextra.

These warnings are trivial to kill, yet rather annoying when building with
-Wextra.
The more we can cut down on pointless crap like this the better (IMHO).

A previous patch to do this for a 'allnoconfig' build has already been

c5ed514559 perf: Fix contexted inheritance
Linus reported that the RCU lockdep annotation bits triggered for this
rcu_dereference() because we're not holding rcu_read_lock().

Going over the code I cannot convince myself its correct:

 - holding a ref on the parent_ctx, doesn't avoid it being uncloned
   concurrently (as the comment says), so we can race with a free.

 - holding parent_ctx->mutex doesn't avoid the above free from taking
   place either, it would at best avoid parent_ctx from being freed.

I.e. the warning is correct. To fix the bug, serialize against the
unclone_ctx() call by extending the reach of the parent_ctx->lock.

977dda7c9b sched: Update effective_load() to use global share weights
Previously effective_load would approximate the global load weight present on
a group taking advantage of:

entity_weight = tg->shares ( lw / global_lw ), where entity_weight was provided
by tg_shares_up.

This worked (approximately) for an 'empty' (at tg level) cpu since we would
place boost load representative of what a newly woken task would receive.

However, now that load is instantaneously updated this assumption is no longer
true and the load calculation is rather incorrect in this case.

Fix this (and improve the general case) by re-writing effective_load to take
advantage of the new shares distribution code.

7f85803a26 tracing: Remove syscall_exit_fields
There is no need for syscall_exit_fields as the syscall
exit event class can already host the fields in its structure,
like most other trace events do by default. Use that
default behavior instead.

Following this scheme, we don't need anymore to override the
get_fields() callback of the syscall exit event class either.

Hence both syscall_exit_fields and syscall_get_exit_fields() can
be removed.

Also changed some indentation to keep the following under 80
characters:

".fields		= LIST_HEAD_INIT(event_class_syscall_exit.fields),"

Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has
worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and
replace it by a C-preprocessor macro.  If someone finds problems
with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive
approach might be required.

Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,
at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven,
just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is.  At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.

ba76149f47 thp: khugepaged
Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new
hugepages become available.  (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that
will have to make new hugepages available)

The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory
can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated.  So when a virtual
machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those
freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual
machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU
efficiency at all times.  The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time,
except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to
pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff.

In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing
memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of
potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could
lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at
first and having them collapsed into large pages later...  if they prove
themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short
lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to
long lived mappings).

e7a00c45f2 thp: add pmd_huge_pte to mm_struct
This increase the size of the mm struct a bit but it is needed to
preallocate one pte for each hugepage so that split_huge_page will not
require a fail path.  Guarantee of success is a fundamental property of
split_huge_page to avoid decrasing swapping reliability and to avoid
adding -ENOMEM fail paths that would otherwise force the hugepage-unaware
VM code to learn rolling back in the middle of its pte mangling operations
(if something we need it to learn handling pmd_trans_huge natively rather
being capable of rollback).  When split_huge_page runs a pte is needed to
succeed the split, to map the newly splitted regular pages with a regular
pte.  This way all existing VM code remains backwards compatible by just
adding a split_huge_page* one liner.  The memory waste of those
preallocated ptes is negligible and so it is worth it.

a5b338f2b0 thp: update futex compound knowledge
Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows
about the compound internals.  However now doing a put_page(head_page)
will not release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to
all sort of refcounting bugchecks.  Getting a stable head_page is a little
tricky.

page_head = page is there because if this is not a tail page it's also the
page_head.  Only in case this is a tail page, compound_head is called,
otherwise it's guaranteed unnecessary.  And if it's a tail page
compound_head has to run atomically inside irq disabled section
__get_user_pages_fast before returning.  Otherwise ->first_page won't be a
stable pointer.

Disableing irq before __get_user_page_fast and releasing irq after running
compound_head is needed because if __get_user_page_fast returns == 1, it
means the huge pmd is established and cannot go away from under us.
pmdp_splitting_flush_notify in __split_huge_page_splitting will have to
wait for local_irq_enable before the IPI delivery can return.  This means
__split_huge_page_refcount can't be running from under us, and in turn
when we run compound_head(page) we're not reading a dangling pointer from
tailpage->first_page.  Then after we get to stable head page, we are
always safe to call compound_lock and after taking the compound lock on
head page we can finally re-check if the page returned by gup-fast is
still a tail page.  in which case we're set and we didn't need to split
the hugepage in order to take a futex on it.

dabb16f639 oom: allow a non-CAP_SYS_RESOURCE proces to oom_score_adj down
We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it
enters/leaves the foreground.  Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj
down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.  This patch allows a task to decrease its
oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to
or its inherited value at fork.  Assuming the thread that has forked it
has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon
activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something
higher.

Alternative considered:

* a setuid binary
* a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE

Since you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a
setuid or daemon implementation would be complex.  The alternatives also
have much higher overhead.

This patch updated from original patch based on feedback from David
Rientjes.

43bb40c9e3 sched: remove long deprecated CLONE_STOPPED flag
This warning was added in commit bdff746a39 ("clone: prepare to recycle
CLONE_STOPPED") three years ago.  2.6.26 came and went.  As far as I know,
no-one is actually using CLONE_STOPPED.

6c9ae009b2 irq: use per_cpu kstat_irqs
Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use
per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array.

This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq.

With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array
(less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing.

In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly
kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array.

Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in
early_irq_init().  We probably could use on-demand allocations.  (Code
included in alloc_descs()).  Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior
alloc_descs() call.

kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.

e2c18e49a0 pps: capture MONOTONIC_RAW timestamps as well
MONOTONIC_RAW clock timestamps are ideally suited for frequency
calculation and also fit well into the original NTP hardpps design.  Now
phase and frequency can be adjusted separately: the former based on
REALTIME clock and the latter based on MONOTONIC_RAW clock.

A new function getnstime_raw_and_real is added to timekeeping subsystem to
capture both timestamps at the same time and atomically.

025b40abe7 ntp: add hardpps implementation
This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills.  However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal.  The typical error is less then a microsecond.

To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately.  Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.

Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

9ab020cf07 taskstats: use better ifdef for alignment
Commit 4be2c95d ("taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment
issues on ia64") added a null field to align the taskstats structure but
the discussion centered around ia64.  The issue exists on other platforms
with inefficient unaligned access and adding them piecemeal would be an
unmaintainable mess.

This patch uses Dave Miller's suggestion of using a combination of
CONFIG_64BIT && !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to determine
whether alignment is needed.

Note that this will cause breakage on those platforms with applications
like iotop which had hard-coded offsets into the packet to access the
taskstats structure.

The message seen on systems without the alignment fixes looks like: kernel
unaligned access to 0xe000023879dca9bc, ip=0xa000000100133d10

The addresses may vary but resolve to locations inside __delayacct_add_tsk.

iotop makes what I'd call unreasonable assumptions about the contents of a
netlink genetlink packet containing generic attributes.  They're typed and
have headers that specify value lengths, so the client can (should)
identify and skip the ones the client doesn't understand.

The kernel, as of version 2.6.36, presented a packet like so:
+--------------------------------+
| genlmsghdr - 4 bytes           |
+--------------------------------+
| NLA header - 4 bytes           | /* Aggregate header */
+-+------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes         | /* PID header */
| +------------------------------+
| | pid/tgid   - 4 bytes         |
| +------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes         | /* stats header */
| + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary
| | struct taskstats - 328 bytes |
+-+------------------------------+

The iotop code expects that the kernel will behave as it did then,
assuming that the packet format is set in stone.  The format is set in
stone, but the packet offsets are not.  There's nothing in the packet
format that guarantees that the packet will be sent in exactly the same
way.  The attribute contents are set (or versioned) and the aggregate
contents are set but they can be anywhere in the packet.

The issue here isn't that an unaligned structure gets passed to userspace,
it's that the NLA infrastructure has something of a weakness: The 4 byte
attribute header may force the payload to be unaligned.  The taskstats
structure is created at an unaligned location and then 64-bit values are
operated on inside the kernel, so the unaligned access warnings gets
spewed everywhere.

It's possible to use the unaligned access API to operate on the structure
in the kernel but it seems like a wasted effort to work around userspace
code that isn't following the packet format.  Any new additions would also
need the be worked around.  It's a maintenance nightmare.

The conclusion of the earlier discussion seemed to be "ok fine, if we have
to break it, don't break it on arches that don't have the problem." Dave
pointed out that the unaligned access problem doesn't only exist on ia64,
but also on other 64-bit arches that don't have efficient unaligned access
and it should be fixed there as well.  The committed version of the patch
and this addition keep with the conclusion of that discussion not to break
it unnecessarily, which the pid padding and the packet padding fixes did
do.  x86_64 and powerpc don't suffer this problem so they shouldn't suffer
the solution.  Other 64-bit architectures do and will, though.

6164281ab7 user_ns: improve the user_ns on-the-slab packaging
Currently on 64-bit arch the user_namespace is 2096 and when being
kmalloc-ed it resides on a 4k slab wasting 2003 bytes.

If we allocate a separate cache for it and reduce the hash size from 128
to 64 chains the packaging becomes *much* better - the struct is 1072
bytes and the hole between is 98 bytes.

fb842b00c5 printk: use RCU to prevent potential lock contention in kmsg_dump
dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation,
kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too.  But if there is contention
on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be
lost.

This patch solves this issue with RCU.  Because kmsg_dump() only read the
list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump().  So that kmsg_dump() will never
fail because of lock contention.
