Paul E. McKenney 8bfb2f8e65 rcu: Make RCU's CPU-stall detector be default
The RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR costs almost nothing and has located
some bugs that might otherwise have been difficult to track
down.  Make it be default for the TREE RCU implementations.

The vmlinux size impact is limited (on 64-bit x86 defconfig):

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   8440248	1260076	 995588	10695912	 a334e8	vmlinux.before
   8440774	1260060	 995588	10696422	 a336e6	vmlinux.after

+526 bytes - acceptable default cost.

For RAM starved systems, TINY_RCU does not support CPU-stall detection
and is much smaller, but then again it is a uniprocessor...

Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around
/proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it
to a few remaining sanity checks.  This completely decouples
it from the binary sysctl system call.

Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already
been registered are all that remain.

David Howells e0e817392b CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]
Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).

Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.

This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

Paul E. McKenney f41d911f8c rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.

This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

Catalin Marinas a9d9058aba kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky)

Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal
buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch
adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes
the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

Tejun Heo 7c756e6e19 percpu: implement optional weak percpu definitions
Some archs (alpha and s390) need to use weak definitions for percpu
variables in modules so that the compiler generates external
references for them.

This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by
defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file.  This
weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable
definitions.

  1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
  2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function

To ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config
option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for
all cases.

This patch is inspired by Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

We re-named 'DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG' to 'DYNAMIC_DEBUG' in 2.6.30....
'PRINTK_DEBUG' as pointed out never existed. So, it appears to be
extraneous, and should be removed. thanks for pointing it out.

Heiko Carstens 75ee034add [S390] omit frame pointers on s390 when possible
Always omit frame pointers on s390. They aren't too useful for the
kernel since we have already the kernel stack backchain which allows
us to walk the kernel stack.
So eleminate the extra code for frame pointers. Only allow the extra
code for the function tracer since the gcc compile options -pg and
-fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible.

Ingo Molnar 77d05632ba softlockup: make DETECT_HUNG_TASK default depend on DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
Don't offer a default-y option when the user has turned off
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP already.

Do offer it as 'y' only if DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP is on already.

This makes it match previous behavior - where the hung-task check was
embedded i CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP code.

Akinobu Mita 6a11f75b6a generic debug pagealloc
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

Jason Baron e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.
