Matt Helsley 5a06915c6d container freezer: skip frozen cgroups during power management resume
When a system is resumed after a suspend, it will also unfreeze frozen
cgroups.

This patchs modifies the resume sequence to skip the tasks which are part
of a frozen control group.

Matt Helsley dc52ddc0e6 container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* Examples of usage :

   # mkdir /containers/freezer
   # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
   # mkdir /containers/0
   # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

to get status of the freezer subsystem :

   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

to freeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FREEZING
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FROZEN

to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

Lee Schermerhorn af936a1606 vmscan: unevictable LRU scan sysctl
This patch adds a function to scan individual or all zones' unevictable
lists and move any pages that have become evictable onto the respective
zone's inactive list, where shrink_inactive_list() will deal with them.

Adds sysctl to scan all nodes, and per node attributes to individual
nodes' zones.

Kosaki: If evictable page found in unevictable lru when write
/proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, print filename and file offset of
these pages.

Peter Zijlstra f9c0b0950d sched: revert back to per-rq vruntime
Vatsa rightly points out that having the runqueue weight in the vruntime
calculations can cause unfairness in the face of task joins/leaves.

Suppose: dv = dt * rw / w

Then take 10 tasks t_n, each of similar weight. If the first will run 1
then its vruntime will increase by 10. Now, if the next 8 tasks leave after
having run their 1, then the last task will get a vruntime increase of 2
after having run 1.

Which will leave us with 2 tasks of equal weight and equal runtime, of which
one will not be scheduled for 8/2=4 units of time.

Ergo, we cannot do that and must use: dv = dt / w.

This means we cannot have a global vruntime based on effective priority, but
must instead go back to the vruntime per rq model we started out with.

This patch was lightly tested by doing starting while loops on each nice level
and observing their execution time, and a simple group scenario of 1:2:3 pinned
to a single cpu.

Peter Zijlstra a4c2f00f5c sched: fair scheduler should not resched rt tasks
With use of ftrace Steven noticed that some RT tasks got rescheduled due
to sched_fair interaction.

What happens is that we reprogram the hrtick from enqueue/dequeue_fair_task()
because that can change nr_running, and thus a current tasks ideal runtime.
However, its possible the current task isn't a fair_sched_class task, and thus
doesn't have a hrtick set to change.

Fix this by wrapping those hrtick_start_fair() calls in a hrtick_update()
function, which will check for the right conditions.

Peter Zijlstra ffda12a17a sched: optimize group load balancer
I noticed that tg_shares_up() unconditionally takes rq-locks for all cpus
in the sched_domain. This hurts.

We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched
entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new
weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value.

This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never
be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance
in semi-stable situations.

Thomas Gleixner fb02fbc14d NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter()
We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double
reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case.

But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become
stale:

idle()
  tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer)
  halt()
   interrupt
     jiffies updated from irq_enter()
     interrupt handler
     softirq function 1 runs 20ms
     softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value
     jiffies updated from irq_exit()
     timer wheel has now an already expired timer
     (the one added in function 2)
     timer fires and timer softirq runs

This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only
when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a
softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.

To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do
not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from
idle when need_resched() is set.

Vegard Nossum 8798881507 utsname: completely overwrite prior information
On sethostname() and setdomainname(), previous information may be retained
if it was longer than than the new hostname/domainname.

This can be demonstrated trivially by calling sethostname() first with a
long name, then with a short name, and then calling uname() to retrieve
the full buffer that contains the hostname (and possibly parts of the old
hostname), one just has to look past the terminating zero.

I don't know if we should really care that much (hence the RFC); the only
scenarios I can possibly think of is administrator putting something
sensitive in the hostname (or domain name) by accident, and changing it
back will not undo the mistake entirely, though it's not like we can
recover gracefully from "rm -rf /" either...  The other scenario is
namespaces (CLONE_NEWUTS) where some information may be unintentionally
"inherited" from the previous namespace (a program wants to hide the
original name and does clone + sethostname, but some information is still
left).

I think the patch may be defended on grounds of the principle of least
surprise.  But I am not adamant :-)

(I guess the question now is whether userspace should be able to
write embedded NULs into the buffer or not...)

At least the observation has been made and the patch has been presented.

Dave Hansen 22b8ce9470 profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtime
Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy
behavior.  The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too
much system time and I wonder what is responsible.

I try to run readprofile.  But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by
default.  Dang!

The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we
generally can only bootmem alloc.  But, does it hurt to at least try and
runtime-alloc it?

To use:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile

Then run readprofile like normal.

This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig.  I've compile-tested
on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

Adam Tkac 0c2d64fb6c rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY
When a process wants to set the limit of open files to RLIM_INFINITY it
gets EPERM even if it has CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability.

For example, BIND does:

...
#elif defined(NR_OPEN) && defined(__linux__)
        /*
         * Some Linux kernels don't accept RLIM_INFINIT; the maximum
         * possible value is the NR_OPEN defined in linux/fs.h.
         */
        if (resource == isc_resource_openfiles && rlim_value == RLIM_INFINITY) {
                rl.rlim_cur = rl.rlim_max = NR_OPEN;
                unixresult = setrlimit(unixresource, &rl);
                if (unixresult == 0)
                        return (ISC_R_SUCCESS);
        }
#elif ...

If we allow setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY we increase portability
- you don't have to check if OS is linux and then use different schema for
limits.

The spec says "Specifying RLIM_INFINITY as any resource limit value on a
successful call to setrlimit() shall inhibit enforcement of that resource
limit." and we're presently not doing that.

Andi Kleen 25ddbb18aa Make the taint flags reliable
It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window
between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted
bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion.

Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit
operations on it.

Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it
anymore.

It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit
(since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes
code.

Tejun Heo a25d644fc0 wait: kill is_sync_wait()
is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits.
Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry()
and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry().  The sync/async
distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only
function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async.
This has a few problems.

* No one uses it.  None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait()
  functions, so the code path never gets executed.

* The distinction is bogus.  Maybe back when func_entry is used only
  by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p
  and poll/select.

* Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how
  @wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API.

* It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good
  reason.

This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from
prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]().  As there was no user of these code paths,
this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

Rafael J. Wysocki 1bfcf1304e pm: rework disabling of user mode helpers during suspend/hibernation
We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend
and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume.  However, this is not
an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into
memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and
there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as
expected (ie.  the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run
after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware).

For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of
user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core
as necessary.

Jason Baron 346e15beb5 driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.

The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.

Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
their own debug levels and flags.

Usage:

Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:

	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
		.
		.
		.

	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not

For example:

	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
	fixup enabled=1
	driver enabled=0

Enable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Enable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

Steven Rostedt bf41a158ca ring-buffer: make reentrant
This patch replaces the local_irq_save/restore with preempt_disable/
enable. This allows for interrupts to enter while recording.
To write to the ring buffer, you must reserve data, and then
commit it. During this time, an interrupt may call a trace function
that will also record into the buffer before the commit is made.

The interrupt will reserve its entry after the first entry, even
though the first entry did not finish yet.

The time stamp delta of the interrupt entry will be zero, since
in the view of the trace, the interrupt happened during the
first field anyway.

Locking still takes place when the tail/write moves from one page
to the next. The reader always takes the locks.

A new page pointer is added, called the commit. The write/tail will
always point to the end of all entries. The commit field will
point to the last committed entry. Only this commit entry may
update the write time stamp.

The reader can only go up to the commit. It cannot go past it.

If a lot of interrupts come in during a commit that fills up the
buffer, and it happens to make it all the way around the buffer
back to the commit, then a warning is printed and new events will
be dropped.

My original patch had a compile bug when NUMA was configured. I
referenced cpu when it should have been cpu_buffer->cpu.

Ingo quickly fixed this bug by replacing cpu with 'i' because that
was the loop counter. Unfortunately, the 'i' was the counter of
pages, not CPUs. This caused a crash when the number of pages allocated
for the buffers exceeded the number of pages, which would usually
be the case.

After some initcall traces, some initcall names may be inconsistent.
That's because these functions will disappear from the .init section
and also their name from the symbols table.

So we have to copy the name of the function in a buffer large enough
during the trace appending. It is not costly for the ring_buffer because
the number of initcall entries is commonly not really large.
