James Bottomley 7bae49d498 sched: fix incorrect assumption that cpu 0 exists
This patch:

commit 9b5b77512d
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Mon Oct 15 17:00:09 2007 +0200

    sched: clean up code under CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED

Introduced an assumption of the existence of CPU0 via this line

cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[0];

If you have no CPU0, that will be NULL.  The fix seems to be just to
take whatever cfs_rq queue comes out of the for_each_possible_cpu()
loop, since they're all equally good for the destruction operation.

Peter Williams e1d1484f72 sched: reduce balance-tasks overhead
At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
  move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality.  This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.

This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.

Satyam Sharma 838225b48e sched: use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() output
A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the
"scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead
of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is
why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations
are guaranteed.

Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a
bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after
them.

Milton Miller 7378547f2c sched: fix sched_domain sysctl registration again
commit  029190c515 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.

Fixes:

1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
	we can't walk the domains before we build them

	presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
	directories or files).

2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
	detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
	unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.

	While the the function would always dereference null if called
	twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
	was followed a register.  So only the hidden bug of the
	sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
	free it would have shown the error.

3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
	The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
	Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always 
	unregister.   Without calling register on the way out we
	will not have a table or any sysctl tree.

4) warn if register is called without unregistering
	The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
	later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
	tables.

Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu).  And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):

Herbert Xu a98ce5c6fe Fix synchronize_irq races with IRQ handler
As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers
to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers.  For example,
the tg3 driver does

	tp->irq_sync = 1;
	smp_mb();
	synchronize_irq();

and then in the IRQ handler:

	if (!tp->irq_sync)
		netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi);

Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in
pairs.  Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the
IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't
actually protect us.

In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the
result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible.

This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin
locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

Al Viro 74c3cbe33b [PATCH] audit: watching subtrees
New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree".
The part that can be sanely implemented, that is.  Limitations:
	* if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch
it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously)
	* if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit
that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees
	* if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted
elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there.  New command
tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false
positives.

Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places
(multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does
_not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

Mathieu Desnoyers 8256e47cdc Linux Kernel Markers
The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c.  A hash table is used
to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers
within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module
load time.

marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and
marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.

Mathieu Desnoyers 09cadedbdc Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation
Quoting Randy:

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

Bernhard Walle cba63c3089 Extended crashkernel command line
This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:

    crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
    range=start-[end]

For example:

    crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M

The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.

This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh.  That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline.  I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.

This patch:

This is the generic part of the patch.  It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory.  That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.

If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken.  The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.
