Rusty Russell 6526c534b2 module: move module args strndup_user to just before use
Instead of copying and allocating the args and storing it in
load_info, we can just allocate them right before we need them.

Rusty Russell 36b0360d17 module: fix sysfs cleanup for !CONFIG_SYSFS
Restore the stub module_remove_modinfo_attrs, remove the now-unused
!CONFIG_SYSFS module_sysfs_init.

Also, rename mod_kobject_remove() to mod_sysfs_teardown() as
it is the logical counterpart to mod_sysfs_setup now.

Rusty Russell d913188c75 module: layout_and_allocate
layout_and_allocate() does everything up to and including the final
struct module placement inside the allocated module memory.  We have
to store the symbol layout information in our struct load_info though.

This avoids the nasty code we had before where 'mod' pointed first
to the version inside the temporary allocation containing the entire
file, then later was moved to point to the real struct module: now
the main code only ever sees the final module address.

(Includes fix for the Tony Luck-found Linus-diagnosed failure path
 error).

Rusty Russell 511ca6ae43 module: fix crash in get_ksymbol() when oopsing in module init
Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set
up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module.  For
most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module
load (inside mod->strtab).

If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use
the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy.

(Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a
 compacted core-only strtab).

Linus Torvalds 3264d3f9dd module: add load_info
Btw, here's a patch that _looks_ large, but it really pretty trivial, and
sets things up so that it would be way easier to split off pieces of the
module loading.

The reason it looks large is that it creates a "module_info" structure
that contains all the module state that we're building up while loading,
instead of having individual variables for all the indices etc.

So the patch ends up being large, because every "symindex" access instead
becomes "info.index.sym" etc. That may be a few characters longer, but it
then means that we can just pass a pointer to that "info" structure
around. and let all the pieces fill it in very naturally.

As an example of that, the patch also moves the initialization of all
those convenience variables into a "setup_module_info()" function. And at
this point it really does become very natural to start to peel off some of
the error labels and move them into the helper functions - now the
"truncated" case is gone, and is handled inside that setup function
instead.

So maybe you don't like this approach, and it does make the variable
accesses a bit longer, but I don't think unreadably so. And the patch
really does look big and scary, but there really should be absolutely no
semantic changes - most of it was a trivial and mindless rename.

In fact, it was so mindless that I on purpose kept the existing helper
functions looking like this:

-       err = check_modinfo(mod, sechdrs, infoindex, versindex);
+       err = check_modinfo(mod, info.sechdrs, info.index.info, info.index.vers);

rather than changing them to just take the "info" pointer. IOW, a second
phase (if you think the approach is ok) would change that calling
convention to just do

	err = check_modinfo(mod, &info);

(and same for "layout_sections()", "layout_symtabs()" etc.) Similarly,
while right now it makes things _look_ bigger, with things like this:

	versindex = find_sec(hdr, sechdrs, secstrings, "__versions");

becoming

	info->index.vers = find_sec(info->hdr, info->sechdrs, info->secstrings, "__versions");

in the new "setup_module_info()" function, that's again just a result of
it being a search-and-replace patch. By using the 'info' pointer, we could
just change the 'find_sec()' interface so that it ends up being

	info->index.vers = find_sec(info, "__versions");

instead, and then we'd actually have a shorter and more readable line. So
for a lot of those mindless variable name expansions there's would be room
for separate cleanups.

I didn't move quite everything in there - if we do this to layout_symtabs,
for example, we'd want to move the percpu, symoffs, stroffs, *strmap
variables to be fields in that module_info structure too. But that's a
much smaller patch, I moved just the really core stuff that is currently
being set up and used in various parts.

But even in this rough form, it removes close to 70 lines from that
function (but adds 22 lines overall, of course - the structure definition,
the helper function declarations and call-sites etc etc).

Linus Torvalds 44032e6316 module: reduce stack usage for each_symbol()
And now that I'm looking at that call-chain (to see if it would make sense
to use some other more specific lock - doesn't look like it: all the
readers are using RCU and this is the only writer), I also give you this
trivial one-liner. It changes each_symbol() to not put that constant array
on the stack, resulting in changing

        movq    $C.388.31095, %rsi      #, tmp85
        subq    $376, %rsp      #,
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # fn, fn
        leaq    -208(%rbp), %rdi        #, tmp84
        movq    %rbx, %rdx      # fn,
        rep movsl
        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        leaq    -208(%rbp), %rdi        #, tmp87
        movq    %r12, %rcx      # data,
        call    each_symbol_in_section.clone.0  #

into

        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        subq    $216, %rsp      #,
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # fn, fn
        movq    $arr.31078, %rdi        #,
        call    each_symbol_in_section.clone.0  #

which is not so much about being obviously shorter and simpler because we
don't unnecessarily copy that constant array around onto the stack, but
also about having a much smaller stack footprint (376 vs 216 bytes - see
the update of 'rsp').

Patrick Pannuto 5e7f5a178b timer: Added usleep_range timer
usleep_range is a finer precision implementations of msleep
and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for udelay where
a precise sleep / busy-wait is unnecessary.

Since an easy interface to hrtimers could lead to an undesired
proliferation of interrupts, we provide only a "range" API,
forcing the caller to think about an acceptable tolerance on
both ends and hopefully avoiding introducing another interrupt.

INTRO

As discussed here ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/3/250 ), msleep(1) is not
precise enough for many drivers (yes, sleep precision is an unfair notion,
but consistently sleeping for ~an order of magnitude greater than requested
is worth fixing). This patch adds a usleep API so that udelay does not have
to be used. Obviously not every udelay can be replaced (those in atomic
contexts or being used for simple bitbanging come to mind), but there are
many, many examples of

mydriver_write(...)
/* Wait for hardware to latch */
udelay(100)

in various drivers where a busy-wait loop is neither beneficial nor
necessary, but msleep simply does not provide enough precision and people
are using a busy-wait loop instead.

CONCERNS FROM THE RFC

Why is udelay a problem / necessary? Most callers of udelay are in device/
driver initialization code, which is serial...

	As I see it, there is only benefit to sleeping over a delay; the
	notion of "refactoring" areas that use udelay was presented, but
	I see usleep as the refactoring. Consider i2c, if the bus is busy,
	you need to wait a bit (say 100us) before trying again, your
	current options are:

		* udelay(100)
		* msleep(1) <-- As noted above, actually as high as ~20ms
				on some platforms, so not really an option
		* Manually set up an hrtimer to try again in 100us (which
		  is what usleep does anyway...)

	People choose the udelay route because it is EASY; we need to
	provide a better easy route.

	Device / driver / boot code is *currently* serial, but every few
	months someone makes noise about parallelizing boot, and IMHO, a
	little forward-thinking now is one less thing to worry about
	if/when that ever happens

udelay's could be preempted

	Sure, but if udelay plans on looping 1000 times, and it gets
	preempted on loop 200, whenever it's scheduled again, it is
	going to do the next 800 loops.

Is the interruptible case needed?

	Probably not, but I see usleep as a very logical parallel to msleep,
	so it made sense to include the "full" API. Processors are getting
	faster (albeit not as quickly as they are becoming more parallel),
	so if someone wanted to be interruptible for a few usecs, why not
	let them? If this is a contentious point, I'm happy to remove it.

OTHER THOUGHTS

I believe there is also value in exposing the usleep_range option; it gives
the scheduler a lot more flexibility and allows the programmer to express
his intent much more clearly; it's something I would hope future driver
writers will take advantage of.

To get the results in the NUMBERS section below, I literally s/udelay/usleep
the kernel tree; I had to go in and undo the changes to the USB drivers, but
everything else booted successfully; I find that extremely telling in and
of itself -- many people are using a delay API where a sleep will suit them
just fine.

SOME ATTEMPTS AT NUMBERS

It turns out that calculating quantifiable benefit on this is challenging,
so instead I will simply present the current state of things, and I hope
this to be sufficient:

How many udelay calls are there in 2.6.35-rc5?

	udealy(ARG) >=	| COUNT
	1000		| 319
	500		| 414
	100		| 1146
	20		| 1832

I am working on Android, so that is my focus for this. The following table
is a modified usleep that simply printk's the amount of time requested to
sleep; these tests were run on a kernel with udelay >= 20 --> usleep

"boot" is power-on to lock screen
"power collapse" is when the power button is pushed and the device suspends
"resume" is when the power button is pushed and the lock screen is displayed
         (no touchscreen events or anything, just turning on the display)
"use device" is from the unlock swipe to clicking around a bit; there is no
	sd card in this phone, so fail loading music, video, camera

	ACTION		| TOTAL NUMBER OF USLEEP CALLS	| NET TIME (us)
	boot		| 22				| 1250
	power-collapse	| 9				| 1200
	resume		| 5				| 500
	use device	| 59				| 7700

The most interesting category to me is the "use device" field; 7700us of
busy-wait time that could be put towards better responsiveness, or at the
least less power usage.

Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the

xtime_lock.

Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
many-core systems.

Frederic Weisbecker 669336e4cf perf: Use tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() to flush any pending tracepoint call
We use synchronize_sched() to ensure a tracepoint won't be called
while/after we release the perf buffers it references.

But the tracepoint API has its own API for that:
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(). Use it instead as it's
self-explanatory and eases maintainance.

Suresh Siddha 6ee0578b4d workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall()
Mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall() and thus it will be initialized
before smp bringup. init_workqueues() registers for the hotcpu notifier
and thus it should cope with the processors that are brought online after
the workqueues are initialized.

x86 smp bringup code uses workqueues and uses a workaround for the
cold boot process (as the workqueues are initialized post smp_init()).
Marking init_workqueues() as early_initcall() will pave the way for
cleaning up this code.

Steffen Klassert 0500e9b3f1 padata: Remove padata_get_cpumask
A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer
is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we
can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function.
A user who is interested in the padata cpumasks should register
to the padata cpumask notifier chain instead. Users of
padata_get_cpumask are already updated, so we can remove it.

David Howells de09a9771a CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				-->commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred->usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred->usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							-->put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred->usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

Jason Baron b82bab4bbe dynamic debug: move ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module()
The command

	echo "file ec.c +p" >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

causes an oops.

Move the call to ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module().  In this
way it should be called from all error paths.  Currently, we are missing
the remove if the module init routine fails.

Tejun Heo e120153ddf workqueue: fix how cpu number is stored in work->data
Once a work starts execution, its data contains the cpu number it was
on instead of pointing to cwq.  This is added by commit 7a22ad75
(workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts) to
reliably determine the work was last on even if the workqueue itself
was destroyed inbetween.

Whether data points to a cwq or contains a cpu number was
distinguished by comparing the value against PAGE_OFFSET.  The
assumption was that a cpu number should be below PAGE_OFFSET while a
pointer to cwq should be above it.  However, on architectures which
use separate address spaces for user and kernel spaces, this doesn't
hold as PAGE_OFFSET is zero.

Fix it by using an explicit flag, WORK_STRUCT_CWQ, to mark what the
data field contains.  If the flag is set, it's pointing to a cwq;
otherwise, it contains a cpu number.

KOSAKI Motohiro ef710e100c tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessary
Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt says

  buffer_size_kb:

        This sets or displays the number of kilobytes each CPU
        buffer can hold. The tracer buffers are the same size
        for each CPU. The displayed number is the size of the
        CPU buffer and not total size of all buffers. The
        trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory
        that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size).
        If the last page allocated has room for more bytes
        than requested, the rest of the page will be used,
        making the actual allocation bigger than requested.
        ( Note, the size may not be a multiple of the page size
          due to buffer management overhead. )

        This can only be updated when the current_tracer
        is set to "nop".

But it's incorrect. currently total memory consumption is
'buffer_size_kb x CPUs x 2'.

Why two times difference is there? because ftrace implicitly allocate
the buffer for max latency too.

That makes sad result when admin want to use large buffer. (If admin
want full logging and makes detail analysis). example, If admin
have 24 CPUs machine and write 200MB to buffer_size_kb, the system
consume ~10GB memory (200MB x 24 x 2). umm.. 5GB memory waste is
usually unacceptable.

Fortunatelly, almost all users don't use max latency feature.
The max latency buffer can be disabled easily.

This patch shrink buffer size of the max latency buffer if
unnecessary.
