Masami Hiramatsu ab40c5c6b6 [PATCH] kprobes: replace magic numbers with enum
Replace the magic numbers with an enum, and gets rid of a warning on the
specific architectures (ex.  powerpc) on which the compiler considers
'char' as 'unsigned char'.

Serge E. Hallyn 0f2452855d [PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disaster
This is based on a patch by Eric W.  Biederman, who pointed out that pid
namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active.

So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access
tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead,
and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above
exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to
work with.

Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution.

Serge E. Hallyn 7a238fcba0 [PATCH] namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exit
Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces.  First
piece reduces the nsproxy refcount.  If we dropped the last reference, then
it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller.  Else
it returns NULL.  The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets
tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and
frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in.

A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes
the NFS oops.

Linus Torvalds 8528b0f1de Clear spurious irq stat information when adding irq handler
Any newly added irq handler may obviously make any old spurious irq
status invalid, since the new handler may well be the thing that is
supposed to handle any interrupts that came in.

So just clear the statistics when adding handlers.

Ingo Molnar 1b5180b651 [PATCH] notifiers: fix blocking_notifier_call_chain() scalability
while lock-profiling the -rt kernel i noticed weird contention during
mmap-intense workloads, and the tracer showed the following gem, in one
of our MM hotpaths:

 threaded-2771  1....   65us : sys_munmap (sysenter_do_call)
 threaded-2771  1....   66us : profile_munmap (sys_munmap)
 threaded-2771  1....   66us : blocking_notifier_call_chain (profile_munmap)
 threaded-2771  1....   66us : rt_down_read (blocking_notifier_call_chain)

ouch! a global rw-semaphore taken in one of the most performance-
sensitive codepaths of the kernel.  And i dont even have oprofile
enabled! All distro kernels have CONFIG_PROFILING enabled, so this
scalability problem affects the majority of Linux users.

The fix is to enhance blocking_notifier_call_chain() to only take the
lock if there appears to be work on the call-chain.

With this patch applied i get nicely saturated system, and much higher
munmap performance, on SMP systems.

And as a bonus this also fixes a similar scalability bottleneck in the
thread-exit codepath: profile_task_exit() ...

Gautham R Shenoy b282b6f8a8 [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit
Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up
from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'

This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.

This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.

Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.

Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

Nathan Lynch e5e5673f82 [PATCH] sched: tasks cannot run on cpus onlined after boot
Commit 5c1e176781 ("sched: force /sbin/init
off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map
at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are
added to the system later.

Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead.  This should
still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.

Thanks to Giuliano Pochini for reporting this and testing the fix:

Ingo Molnar 9414232fa0 [PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offset
Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken.  The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls.  A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:

 - if the system is booting
 - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set

But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).

Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq().  (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)

The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.

Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes
expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used
fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel.  The trivial patch below
addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable()
calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage.  Since free_fdtable() is a
one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

Thomas Gleixner 9d7ac8be4b [PATCH] genirq: fix irq flow handler uninstall
The sanity check for no_irq_chip in __set_irq_hander() is unconditional on
both install and uninstall of an handler.  This triggers false warnings and
replaces no_irq_chip by dummy_irq_chip in the uninstall case.

Check only, when a real handler is installed.

Mark Fasheh ba0084048a [PATCH] Conditionally check expected_preempt_count in __resched_legal()
Commit 2d7d253548 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.

Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero.  cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.

So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.

Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

Peter Williams bc947631d1 [PATCH] sched: improve efficiency of sched_fork()
Problem:
  sched_fork() has always called scheduler_tick() in some (unlikely)
  circumstances in order to update the current task in light of those
  circumstances.  It has always been the case that the work done by
  scheduler_tick() was more than was required to handle the problem in
  hand but no harm was done except for the waste of a few CPU cycles.

  However, the splitting of scheduler_tick() into two procedures in
  2.6.20-rc1 enables the wasted cycles to be saved as the new procedure
  task_running_tick() does all the work that is required to rectify the
  problem being handled.

Solution:
  Replace the call to scheduler_tick() in sched_fork() with a call to
  task_running_tick().

Linus Torvalds a08727bae7 Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t"
On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by
external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses),
just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by
commit 4594bf159f) can cause the
assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on
the same word.

So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those
architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32).

So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t",
which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on
such architectures.

This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as
the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway.  Sparc32
will probably need fixing.

Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane
atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

Eric Dumazet cd7175edf9 [PATCH] Optimize calc_load()
calc_load() is called by timer interrupt to update avenrun[].  It currently
calls nr_active() at each timer tick (HZ per second), while the update of
avenrun[] is done only once every 5 seconds.  (LOAD_FREQ=5 Hz)

nr_active() is quite expensive on SMP machines, since it has to sum up
nr_running and nr_uninterruptible of all online CPUS, bringing foreign
dirty cache lines.

This patch is an optimization of calc_load() so that nr_active() is called
only if we need it.

The use of unlikely() is welcome since the condition is true only once every
5*HZ time.

Ingo Molnar 74c383f140 [PATCH] lockdep: fix possible races while disabling lock-debugging
Jarek Poplawski noticed that lockdep global state could be accessed in a
racy way if one CPU did a lockdep assert (shutting lockdep down), while the
other CPU would try to do something that changes its global state.

This patch fixes those races and cleans up lockdep's internal locking by
adding a graph_lock()/graph_unlock()/debug_locks_off_graph_unlock helpers.

(Also note that as we all know the Linux kernel is, by definition, bug-free
and perfect, so this code never triggers, so these fixes are highly
theoretical.  I wrote this patch for aesthetic reasons alone.)
