Thomas Gleixner 37dad3fce9 sched: Implement head queueing for sched_rt
The ability of enqueueing a task to the head of a SCHED_FIFO priority
list is required to fix some violations of POSIX scheduling policy.

Implement the functionality in sched_rt.

Peter Zijlstra fabf318e5e sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespaces
There are a number of issues:

1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets)

copy_process():

  sched_fork()
    child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */
  if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
     ns_cgroup_clone()
       cgroup_clone()
         mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
         mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
         cgroup_attach_task()
	   ss->can_attach()
           ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
             cpuset_attach_task()
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
                 while (child->state == TASK_WAKING)
                   cpu_relax();
will deadlock the system.


2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process

So even if the above would work we still have:

copy_process():

  if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
     ns_cgroup_clone()
       cgroup_clone()
         mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
         mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
         cgroup_attach_task()
	   ss->can_attach()
           ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
             cpuset_attach_task()
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
  ...

  p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed

over-writing the modified cpus_allowed.


3) fork() vs hotplug

  if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child
  gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit
  will meet with fan.

Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into
wake_up_new_task().

Gautham R Shenoy 871e35bc97 sched: Fix the place where group powers are updated
We want to update the sched_group_powers when balance_cpu == this_cpu.

Currently the group powers are updated only if the balance_cpu is the
first CPU in the local group. But balance_cpu = this_cpu could also be
the first idle cpu in the group. Hence fix the place where the group
powers are updated.

Peter Zijlstra f492e12ef0 sched: Remove load_balance_newidle()
The two functions: load_balance{,_newidle}() are very similar, with the
following differences:

 - rq->lock usage
 - sb->balance_interval updates
 - *balance check

So remove the load_balance_newidle() call with load_balance(.idle =
CPU_NEWLY_IDLE), explicitly unlock the rq->lock before calling (would be
done by double_lock_balance() anyway), and ignore the other differences
for now.

Peter Zijlstra 1af3ed3ddf sched: Unify load_balance{,_newidle}()
load_balance() and load_balance_newidle() look remarkably similar, one
key point they differ in is the condition on when to active balance.

So split out that logic into a separate function.

One side effect is that previously load_balance_newidle() used to fail
and return -1 under these conditions, whereas now it doesn't. I've not
yet fully figured out the whole -1 return case for either
load_balance{,_newidle}().

Xiaotian Feng ea9d8e3f45 clockevent: Don't remove broadcast device when cpu is dead
Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.

The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.

The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

[ tglx: restored the cpuweight check and massaged the changelog ]

When a task gets scheduled in. We don't touch the cpu bound events
so the priority order becomes:

	cpu pinned, cpu flexible, task pinned, task flexible.

So schedule out cpu flexibles when a new task context gets in
and correctly order the groups to schedule in:

	task pinned, cpu flexible, task flexible.

Cpu pinned groups don't need to be touched at this time.

Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.

I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)

I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

Frederic Weisbecker d6f962b57b perf: Export software-only event group characteristic as a flag
Before scheduling an event group, we first check if a group can go
on. We first check if the group is made of software only events
first, in which case it is enough to know if the group can be
scheduled in.

For that purpose, we iterate through the whole group, which is
wasteful as we could do this check when we add/delete an event to
a group.

So we create a group_flags field in perf event that can host
characteristics from a group of events, starting with a first
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE flag that reduces the check on the fast path.

Frederic Weisbecker 889ff01506 perf/core: Split context's event group list into pinned and non-pinned lists
Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups
and flexible_groups (non-pinned).

This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around
the group list handlings.

But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't
anymore iterate twice through the entire list to separate pinned and
non-pinned scheduling. Instead we interate through two distinct lists.

The another desired effect is that it makes easier to define distinct
scheduling rules on both.

Changes in v2:
- Respectively rename pinned_grp_list and
  volatile_grp_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups as per
  Ingo suggestion.
- Various cleanups

KOSAKI Motohiro 7485d0d375 futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()
Currently, futexes have two problem:

A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly.

get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and
anon, which can cause the following bad scenario:

  1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it
     sleeps on file mapping object.
  2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow.
  3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it
     wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing)

B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly.

Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current
futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes
infinite loop internally.

The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for
page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private
mappings and zero page.

Performance concerns:

Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables
for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see
the overhead of this patch.

Compatibility concerns:

This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch,
FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only
mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem,
glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody
uses read-only mappings.

Paul E. McKenney 45f014c52e rcu: Remove redundant grace-period check
The rcu_process_dyntick() function checks twice for the end of
the current grace period.  However, it holds the current
rcu_node structure's ->lock field throughout, and doesn't get to
the second call to rcu_gp_in_progress() unless there is at least
one CPU corresponding to this rcu_node structure that has not
yet checked in for the current grace period, which would prevent
the current grace period from ending. So the current grace
period cannot have ended, and the second check is redundant, so
remove it.

Also, given that this function is used even with !CONFIG_NO_HZ,
its name is quite misleading.  Change from rcu_process_dyntick()
to force_qs_rnp().

Because a new grace period cannot start while we are executing
within the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement,
if any test within that switch statement or within any function
called from that switch statement shows that the current grace
period has ended, we can safely re-do that test any time before
we leave the switch statement.  This means that we no longer
need a return value from rcu_process_dyntick(), as we can simply
invoke rcu_gp_in_progress() to check whether the old grace
period has finished -- there is no longer any need to worry
about whether or not a new grace period has been started.

active. A new fqs_active flag in the rcu_state structure is used
to trace whether or not force_quiescent_state() is active, and
this new flag is tested by rcu_start_gp().  If the CPU that
closed out the last grace period needs another grace period,
this new grace period may be delayed up to one scheduling-clock
tick, but it will eventually get started.

Andi Kleen b45c6e76bc kernel/signal.c: fix kernel information leak with print-fatal-signals=1
When print-fatal-signals is enabled it's possible to dump any memory
reachable by the kernel to the log by simply jumping to that address from
user space.

Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects.

The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address,
which is fully controlled by ring 3.

In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to
16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at
least is not very efficient)

Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386.

But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's
a page fault.

Dave Anderson bd4f490a07 cgroups: fix 2.6.32 regression causing BUG_ON() in cgroup_diput()
The LTP cgroup test suite generates a "kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:790!"
here in cgroup_diput():

                 /*
                  * if we're getting rid of the cgroup, refcount should ensure
                  * that there are no pidlists left.
                  */
                 BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cgrp->pidlists));

The cgroup pidlist rework in 2.6.32 generates the BUG_ON, which is caused
when pidlist_array_load() calls cgroup_pidlist_find():

(1) if a matching cgroup_pidlist is found, it down_write's the mutex of the
     pre-existing cgroup_pidlist, and increments its use_count.
(2) if no matching cgroup_pidlist is found, then a new one is allocated, it
     down_write's its mutex, and the use_count is set to 0.
(3) the matching, or new, cgroup_pidlist gets returned back to pidlist_array_load(),
     which increments its use_count -- regardless whether new or pre-existing --
     and up_write's the mutex.

So if a matching list is ever encountered by cgroup_pidlist_find() during
the life of a cgroup directory, it results in an inflated use_count value,
preventing it from ever getting released by cgroup_release_pid_array().
Then if the directory is subsequently removed, cgroup_diput() hits the
BUG_ON() when it finds that the directory's cgroup is still populated with
a pidlist.

The patch simply removes the use_count increment when a matching pidlist
is found by cgroup_pidlist_find(), because it gets bumped by the calling
pidlist_array_load() function while still protected by the list's mutex.

Masami Hiramatsu 8767ba2796 kmod: fix resource leak in call_usermodehelper_pipe()
Fix resource (write-pipe file) leak in call_usermodehelper_pipe().

When call_usermodehelper_exec() fails, write-pipe file is opened and
call_usermodehelper_pipe() just returns an error.  Since it is hard for
caller to determine whether the error occured when opening the pipe or
executing the helper, the caller cannot close the pipe by themselves.

I've found this resoruce leak when testing coredump.  You can check how
the resource leaks as below;

$ echo "|nocommand" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ while [ 1 ]; do ./segv; done &> /dev/null &
$ cat /proc/meminfo (<- repeat it)

where segv.c is;
//-----
int main () {
        char *p = 0;
        *p = 1;
}
//-----

This patch closes write-pipe file if call_usermodehelper_exec() failed.

Steven Rostedt 0e1ff5d72a ring-buffer: Add rb_list_head() wrapper around new reader page next field
If the very unlikely case happens where the writer moves the head by one
between where the head page is read and where the new reader page
is assigned _and_ the writer then writes and wraps the entire ring buffer
so that the head page is back to what was originally read as the head page,
the page to be swapped will have a corrupted next pointer.

Simple solution is to wrap the assignment of the next pointer with a
rb_list_head().

David Sharp 5ded3dc6a3 ring-buffer: Wrap a list.next reference with rb_list_head()
This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one
writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that
page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD
flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a
subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page())
when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would
characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte
(eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at
an address one byte too high.

Lai Jiangshan 7e53bd42d1 tracing: Consolidate protection of reader access to the ring buffer
At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized
by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f45 gives more freedom to readers,
and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe.

But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always
read-only, they may consume data.

This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw
cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized.
And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe.

Details:

Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection.
The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc)
are not protected by ring buffer.

The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume
these events concurrently:
  A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page
     (not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten
     by the events producer.
  B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read,
     and this page will be returned to system.

This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives.

These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers
concurrently.

These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access.
Multi read-only access is also serialized.

And we don't use these primitives when we open files,
we only use them when we read files.

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.

This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.

The total savings of 24k in size.

2009-12-24 13:01:29 -08:00
Andi Kleen 4440095c82 SYSCTL: Print binary sysctl warnings (nearly) only once
When printing legacy sysctls print the warning message
for each of them only once.  This way there is a guarantee
the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program.

The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored
the flag inline.

Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a
code snippet from him.

The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a
new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not
be a problem

I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This
gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls
are hashed:

size 256
bucket
length      number
0:          [25]
1:          [67]
2:          [88]
3:          [47]
4:          [22]
5:          [6]
6:          [1]

The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

Stefani Seibold 4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Linus Torvalds 83f57a11d8 Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache"
This reverts commit 7bc7d63745, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:

 "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
  2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
  nanoseconds field.

  He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
  overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
  sub-nanosecond accumulated time.

  Details:

   * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
  sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
  This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
  sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
  Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
  that rounding.

   * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
  xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.

   * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
  since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
  complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
  steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
  known to work.

   * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
  timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
  accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
  Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
  non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted  (those
  patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
  directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
  xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.

  Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

Al Viro 6f5d511489 fix braindamage in audit_tree.c untag_chunk()
... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody
noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage".

The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element
and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic
lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one.  After that the
old one is fair game for freeing.

First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we
use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array
and vice versa.

Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the
element to be excluded happens to be the last one.  We shouldn't go
until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old
one.  Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the
cyclic lists...

That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite
trivial to hit.  Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the
shit had hit the fan...

Oleg Nesterov 9cd80bbb07 do_wait() optimization: do not place sub-threads on task_struct->children list
Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.

Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list.  This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().

With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.

Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).

This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.

Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.

Frederic Weisbecker 61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

Frederic Weisbecker 234da7bcdc sched: Teach might_sleep() about preemptible RCU
In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a
rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but
it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu.

Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations
under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under
preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after
rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test
their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while
atomic" issues.

So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in
might_sleep() checks.

Peter Zijlstra 88ec22d3ed sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu()
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.

->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption
disabled.

For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the
tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves
sched_exec to be a problem

This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs
hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the
result against the sched_domain/root_domain.

Xiaotian Feng 9ee349ad6d sched: Fix set_cpu_active() in cpu_down()
Sachin found cpu hotplug test failures on powerpc, which made
the kernel hang on his POWER box.

The problem is that we fail to re-activate a cpu when a
hot-unplug fails. Fix this by moving the de-activation into
_cpu_down after doing the initial checks.

Remove the synchronize_sched() calls and rely on those implied
by rebuilding the sched domains using the new mask.

Peter Zijlstra f4c4176f21 perf events: Allow per-task-per-cpu counters
In order to allow for per-task-per-cpu counters, useful for
scalability when profiling task hierarchies, we allow installing
events with event->cpu != -1 in task contexts.

__perf_event_sched_in() already skips events where ->cpu
mis-matches the current cpu, fix up __perf_install_in_context()
and __perf_event_enable() to also respect this filter.

This does lead to vary hard to interpret enabled/running times
for such counters, but I don't see a simple solution for that.

Oleg Nesterov dd34200adc signals: send_signal: use si_fromuser() to detect from_ancestor_ns
Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser().  From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO
triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check.

This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal)
behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the
cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs to the
sub-namespace.

This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and
kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace with
"priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them correctly,
including disassociate_ctty(on_exit).

Except: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/*.c incorrectly use
send_sig(priv => 0).  But his is minor and should be fixed anyway.

Oleg Nesterov 614c517d7c signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should be considered as SI_FROMUSER()
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

Oleg Nesterov 6580807da1 ptrace: copy_process() should disable stepping
If the tracee calls fork() after PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, the forked child
starts with TIF_SINGLESTEP/X86_EFLAGS_TF bits copied from ptraced parent.
This is not right, especially when the new child is not auto-attaced: in
this case it is killed by SIGTRAP.

Change copy_process() to call user_disable_single_step(). Tested on x86.

Test-case:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		if (!(pid = fork())) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) == 0);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);

			if (!fork()) {
				/* kernel bug: this child will be killed by SIGTRAP */
				printf("Hello world\n");
				return 43;
			}

			wait(&status);
			return WEXITSTATUS(status);
		}

		for (;;) {
			assert(pid == wait(&status));
			if (WIFEXITED(status))
				break;

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 569b846df5 memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate
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.

André Goddard Rosa e7d2860b69 tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Bernhard Walle 5ada918b82 vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() function
The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.

However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.

This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).

This patch:

Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.

Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.

The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

Lee Schermerhorn 06808b0827 hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicy
This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of
the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the
allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page
count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute
"nr_hugepages_mempolicy".  The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows:

* For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer
  is produced.  This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use
  node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed".  This preserves the
  behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
  a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
  "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
  task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
  will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
  mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored.  That is, all modes
  behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
  with no "fallback".

See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information
about the implications of this patch.

Examples:

Starting with:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     0

Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent
hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]:

	sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32

yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,
but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the
same as nr_hugepages.

Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a.
'--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified
and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on
individual nodes or sets of nodes.  So, starting from the
condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to
node 2 using:

	numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40

This yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:    16
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the
specified mempolicy.

Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages
from specified nodes:

	numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32

yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     4
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     4
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:    16
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

Paul Mackerras 0f624e7e56 perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu number
It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
greater than the total count of possible CPUs.

Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus().  This
test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.

This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
subsequently.

David Miller b9f8fcd55b sched: Fix cpu_clock() in NMIs, on !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
Relax stable-sched-clock architectures to not save/disable/restore
hardirqs in cpu_clock().

The background is that I was trying to resolve a sparc64 perf
issue when I discovered this problem.

On sparc64 I implement pseudo NMIs by simply running the kernel
at IRQ level 14 when local_irq_disable() is called, this allows
performance counter events to still come in at IRQ level 15.

This doesn't work if any code in an NMI handler does
local_irq_save() or local_irq_disable() since the "disable" will
kick us back to cpu IRQ level 14 thus letting NMIs back in and
we recurse.

The only path which that does that in the perf event IRQ
handling path is the code supporting frequency based events.  It
uses cpu_clock().

cpu_clock() simply invokes sched_clock() with IRQs disabled.

And that's a fundamental bug all on it's own, particularly for
the HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK case.  NMIs can thus get into the
sched_clock() code interrupting the local IRQ disable code
sections of it.

Furthermore, for the not-HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK case, the IRQ
disabling done by cpu_clock() is just pure overhead and
completely unnecessary.

So the core problem is that sched_clock() is not NMI safe, but
we are invoking it from NMI contexts in the perf events code
(via cpu_clock()).

A less important issue is the overhead of IRQ disabling when it
isn't necessary in cpu_clock().

CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK architectures are not
affected by this patch.

I found a weird behavior:

  # echo 'fuse:*' > set_ftrace_filter
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat set_ftrace_filter
  fuse_dev_fasync
  fuse_dev_poll
  fuse_copy_do

We should call trace_parser_clear() no matter ftrace_process_regex()
returns 0 or -errno, otherwise we will actually take the unaccepted
records from ftrace_regex_release().

Move the printk from each ftrace_raw_reg_event_foo() to
its caller ftrace_event_enable_disable(). This avoids each
regfunc trace event callbacks to handle a same error report
that can be carried from the caller.

See how much space this saves:

Li Zefan 87d9b4e1c5 tracing: Extract duplicate ftrace_raw_init_event_foo()
Use a generic trace_event_raw_init() function for all event's raw_init
callbacks (but kprobes) instead of defining the same version for each
of these.
This shrinks the kernel code:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

5346802 1961864 7103260 14411926         dbe896 vmlinux.o

raw_init can't be removed, because ftrace events and kprobe events
use different raw_init callbacks. Though it's possible to totally
remove raw_init, I choose to leave it as it is for now.

Alan Stern noticed that all the wakeup side (and atomic) variants of the
completion APIs should be irq safe, but the newly introduced
completion_done() and try_wait_for_completion() aren't. The use of the
irq unsafe variants in IRQ contexts can cause crashes/hangs.

Fix the problem by making them use spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_lock_irqrestore().

Steven Rostedt cc51a0fca6 tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracer
The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the
kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has
a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings.

Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the
function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up
being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed:

 # tracer: preemptirqsoff
 #

 # --------------------------------------------------------------------

 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue

The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock
somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little
but where this actually happened is not informative.

This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides
the following output:

 hackbenc-4242    2d....    0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2467us : <stack trace>

  => _spin_unlock_irqrestore
  => remove_wait_queue
  => free_poll_entry
  => poll_freewait
  => do_sys_poll
  => sys_poll
  => system_call_fastpath

Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

Steven Rostedt 03889384ce tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()
I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.

I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().

Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.

For example:

@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
 	if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
 		if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
 			prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
-		else
+		else {
 			deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
+			trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
+				     prev->comm, prev->pid);
+			trace_dump_stack();
+		}
 		switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;
 	}

Produces:

           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249
           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105270: <stack trace>

Jason Wessel 7f8b7ed6f8 kgdb: Always process the whole breakpoint list on activate or deactivate
This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.

1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
   cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
   state flag is set to BP_SET.

   The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
   a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.

2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
   when a breakpoint cannot be activated.

Jason Wessel d625e9c0d7 kgdb: continue and warn on signal passing from gdb
On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal
back on continue.  For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because
it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a
exception outside of kgdb.

Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the
supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue
operation.

Jason Wessel 028e7b1759 kgdb: allow for cpu switch when single stepping
The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a
kernel thread will complete on the same CPU.  The single step flag is
set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system
that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it
is run.

As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master
cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the
slave cpus is no longer possible.  It is more useful to be able to get
some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever.

Jason Wessel 84667d4849 kgdb: Read buffer overflow
Roel Kluin reported an error found with Parfait.  Where we want to
ensure that that kgdb_info[-1] never gets accessed.

Also check to ensure any negative tid does not exceed the size of the
shadow CPU array, else report critical debug context because it is an
internal kgdb failure.

Thomas Gleixner bb6eddf767 clockevents: Prevent clockevent_devices list corruption on cpu hotplug
Xiaotian Feng triggered a list corruption in the clock events list on
CPU hotplug and debugged the root cause.

If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only
the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused
devices are kept in the clock events device list.

On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means
that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list
corruption.

Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead
CPU on CPU_DEAD.

Steven Rostedt dd7f594357 ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock
While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.

Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.

This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.

Steven Rostedt 184210154b ring-buffer: Use sync sched protection on ring buffer resizing
There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling
layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while
resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this
arrangement.

This patch moves the disabling and synchronizing the ring buffer to
a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes
are occurring while the resize takes place.

Thomas Gleixner d954fbf0ff tracing: Fix wrong usage of strstrip in trace_ksyms
strstrip returns a pointer to the first non space character, but the
code in parse_ksym_trace_str() ignores that.

strstrip is now must_check and therefor we get the correct warning:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:294: warning:
ignoring return value of ‘strstrip’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

We are really not interested in leading whitespace here.

Fix that and cleanup the dozen kfree() exit pathes.

Thomas Gleixner d4581a239a sys: Fix missing rcu protection for __task_cred() access
commit c69e8d9 (CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to
release a task's own creds) added non rcu_read_lock() protected access
to task creds of the target task in set_prio_one().

The comment above the function says:
 * - the caller must hold the RCU read lock

The calling code in sys_setpriority does read_lock(&tasklist_lock) but
not rcu_read_lock(). This works only when CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=n.
With CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y the rcu_callbacks can run in the tick
interrupt when they see no read side critical section.

There is another instance of __task_cred() in sys_setpriority() itself
which is equally unprotected.

Wrap the whole code section into a rcu read side critical section to
fix this quick and dirty.

Will be revisited in course of the read_lock(&tasklist_lock) -> rcu
crusade.

Oleg noted further:

This also fixes another bug here. find_task_by_vpid() is not safe
without rcu_read_lock(). I do not mean it is not safe to use the
result, just find_pid_ns() by itself is not safe.

Usually tasklist gives enough protection, but if copy_process() fails
it calls free_pid() lockless and does call_rcu(delayed_put_pid().
This means, without rcu lock find_pid_ns() can't scan the hash table
safely.

Thomas Gleixner 7cf7db8df0 signals: Fix more rcu assumptions
1) Remove the misleading comment in __sigqueue_alloc() which claims
   that holding a spinlock is equivalent to rcu_read_lock().

2) Add a rcu_read_lock/unlock around the __task_cred() access
   in __sigqueue_alloc()

This needs to be revisited to remove the remaining users of
read_lock(&tasklist_lock) but that's outside the scope of this patch.

Thomas Gleixner 14d8c9f3c0 signal: Fix racy access to __task_cred in kill_pid_info_as_uid()
kill_pid_info_as_uid() accesses __task_cred() without being in a RCU
read side critical section. tasklist_lock is not protecting that when
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y.

Convert the whole tasklist_lock section to rcu and use
lock_task_sighand to prevent the exit race.
