The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new
rcu checks api.
We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist:
- the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an
events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are
serialized under the cpuctx mutex.
- the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always
serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present
during such operations. This side happens when a software event
is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software
event is really attached to the context is made under the
ctx->lock.
- events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen
concurrently with any update side.
This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the
separate rcu mem space patches in preparation.
This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings.

Commit a45185d2d "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which
abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap.
On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual
NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap.
The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first. It mean
the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len
argument or NR_CPUS. But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids.
Strictly speaking, userland requirement are
1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized
of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128,
glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte.
2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS
in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But
it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than
NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization,
we never hit -EINVAL case.
sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch adapts
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case.

This fixes "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c." which
happened at boot time due to multiple parallel module loads.
The problem was a deadlock: we wait for a module to finish
initializing, but we keep the module_lock mutex so it can't complete.
In particular, this could reasonably happen if a module does a
request_module() in its initialization routine.
So we change use_module() to return an errno rather than a bool, and if
it's -EBUSY we drop the lock and wait in the caller, then reaquire the
lock.

WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that

kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.
Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)

Currently, we can hit a nasty case with optimistic
spinning on mutexes:
CPU A tries to take a mutex, while holding the BKL
CPU B tried to take the BLK while holding the mutex
This looks like a AB-BA scenario but in practice, is
allowed and happens due to the auto-release on
schedule() nature of the BKL.
In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us
into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A
will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for
A, and the only way out of that loop is the
need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner().
This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning
if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the
extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for
kernel code to be holding the BKL.

padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that
need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu.
This check was wrong implemented and returned always true,
so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This
can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that
appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop
was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that
loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead.
This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with
the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while
cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder
already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because
it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock
cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object
was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer
function sends it out in this case.

The exception-trace facility on x86 and other architectures prints
traces to dmesg whenever a user space application crashes.
s390 has such a feature since ages however it is called
userprocess_debug and is enabled differently.
This patch makes sure that whenever one of the two procfs files
/proc/sys/kernel/userprocess_debug
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace
is modified the contents of the second one changes as well.
That way we keep backwards compatibilty but also support the same
interface like other architectures do.
Besides that the output of the traces is improved since it will now
also contain the corresponding filename of the vma (when available)
where the process caused a fault or trap.

readability and decrease code duplication.
In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number
with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers
(e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13).
Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this
patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write
operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not
acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the
number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other
errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is
fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function
structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output
of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events
defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class
define the print functions that all events in the class can use.
This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events
use the same class. The savings here is another 30K.

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.
This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize
various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually
classed to the kind of event it is.
Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization
function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure.
Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since
the initialization is the same for all events within a system.
But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it
to the class.

The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened
with the changing of the C files that call the init code.
The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share
a class.

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure.
Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong
to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead
of the individual events. The events of the same class would just
hold duplicate information.
After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs
4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields
Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files
having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where
new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is
in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields).
This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created.
Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But
we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT()
so this should not be an issue.
The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic
so it should not be a issue.
The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual
events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the
fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and
added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used
to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just
returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall
events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event.
v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list
of fields for both enter and exit.

This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
is now called directly.
The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
other macros will catch it.
The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
a separate pointer for the probe.
To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
created that has the type of control that is needed.
With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
has their footprint dramatically lowered:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig

4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs
The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
critical that the footprint becomes minimal.
v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
specific structure in trace_events.c.
v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
exists.
v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().
v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the
value within the function.

This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.
The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)
Will create the register function:
int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
void *data);
As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:
void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}
The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.
This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.
void mycallback(void *data, int value);
register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);
Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.
A more detailed example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
/* In the C file */
DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
[...]
trace_mytracepoint(status);
/* In a file registering this tracepoint */
int my_callback(void *data, int status)
{
struct my_struct my_data = data;
[...]
}
[...]
my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
init_my_data(my_data);
register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:
unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());
will cause an error.
If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:
DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);
Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.
This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class
4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint
Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.
v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.
v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.
v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.
Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().
v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
do not need any arguments.

don't provide an affinity_hint mask, this can be misleading. There
should be no hint at all, meaning an empty CPU mask.

Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without

This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected

and it was just for hidining lockdep messages.
This is a patch for do proper things. Checking again, all places,
accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional....
all callers of css_id() has reference count on it. So, it's not necessary
to be under rcu_read_lock().
Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id(). We know
css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0. (css->id never changes and freed
after css->refcnt going to be 0.)
This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

SuperIO devices share regions and use lock/unlock operations to chip
select. We therefore need to be able to request a resource and wait for
it to be freed by whichever other SuperIO device currently hogs it.
Right now you have to poll which is horrible.
Add a MUXED field to IO port resources. If the MUXED field is set on the
resource and on the request (via request_muxed_region) then we block
until the previous owner of the muxed resource releases their region.
This allows us to implement proper resource sharing and locking for
superio chips using code of the form
enable_my_superio_dev() {
request_muxed_region(0x44, 0x02, "superio:watchdog");
outb() ..sequence to enable chip
}
disable_my_superio_dev() {

Lai Jiangshan noted that up to 10% of the RCU_SOFTIRQ are spurious, and
traced this down to the fact that the current grace-period machinery
will uselessly raise RCU_SOFTIRQ when a given CPU needs to go through
a quiescent state, but has not yet done so. In this situation, there
might well be nothing that RCU_SOFTIRQ can do, and the overhead can be
worth worrying about in the ksoftirqd case. This patch therefore avoids
raising RCU_SOFTIRQ in this situation.
Changes since v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/30/122 from Lai Jiangshan):
o Omit the rcu_qs_pending() prechecks, as they aren't that
much less expensive than the quiescent-state checks.

The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of
confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches
for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch
is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.
For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but
special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side
critical section.
However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd
still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer
accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched
quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside
from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to
be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only
increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly
increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.
This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's
context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states.
The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in
general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.
This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent
states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though
probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks
within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the
overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat,
so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined
rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that
a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can
be detected per boot.
This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior
by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep
splats per boot to easily do so.

How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to
describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires
careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits.
Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much
easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that
function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length
assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently.
So this patch simplifies the registration process by having
clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration
function taking care of setting mult/shift.
This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource
driver.
Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs
longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can
keep track of the assumptions being made.

introduced a bug in handling events whose pmu does not implement

group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through
to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the
events in the group and return failure.
This fixes it by returning 0 (success) in the non-transactional

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.
This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.
synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.
Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.
stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.
The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.
Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.
* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.

This patch adds a cpumask affinity hint to the irq_desc structure,
along with a registration function and a read-only proc entry for each
interrupt.
This affinity_hint handle for each interrupt can be used by underlying
drivers that need a better mechanism to control interrupt affinity.
The underlying driver can register a cpumask for the interrupt, which
will allow the driver to provide the CPU mask for the interrupt to
anything that requests it. The intent is to extend the userspace
daemon, irqbalance, to help hint to it a preferred CPU mask to balance
the interrupt into.

The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance
the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints
through the HBP_NUM macro.
However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get
this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between
different versions.
To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro
and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a
new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have
CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once
as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints
together.
For the others it will be called first to get the number of
instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the
data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a
parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

Depending on their nature and on what an arch supports, breakpoints
may consume more than one address register. For example a simple
absolute address match usually only requires one address register.
But an address range match may consume two registers.
Currently our slot allocation constraints, that tend to reflect the
limited arch's resources, always consider that a breakpoint consumes
one slot.
Then provide a way for archs to tell us the weight of a breakpoint
through a new hw_breakpoint_weight() helper. This weight will be
computed against the generic allocation constraints instead of
a constant value.

There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware
breakpoints.
The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition
space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have
typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers
and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with
separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints
as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example.
The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space
definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address
registers can host either instruction or data address and
the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control
register. This is the case of x86 and Super H.
This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config
that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those
will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and
data breakpoints.
The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and
instruction breakpoints.

The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.
We want the following new policies:
- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.
To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

In short: change cancel_work_sync(work) to mark this work as "never
queued" upon return.
When cancel_work_sync(work) succeeds, we know that this work can't be
queued or running, and since we own WORK_STRUCT_PENDING nobody can change
the bits in work->data under us. This means we can also clear the "cwq"
part along with _PENDING bit lockless before return, unless the work is
queued nobody can assume get_wq_data() is stable even under cwq->lock.
This change can speedup the subsequent cancel/flush requests, and as
Dmitry pointed out this simplifies the usage of work_struct's which
can be queued on different workqueues. Consider this pseudo code from
the input subsystem:
struct workqueue_struct *WQ;
struct work_struct *WORK;
for (;;) {
WQ = create_workqueue();
...
if (condition())
queue_work(WQ, WORK);
...
cancel_work_sync(WORK);
destroy_workqueue(WQ);
}
If condition() returns T and then F, cancel_work_sync() will crash the
kernel because WORK->data still points to the already destroyed workqueue.
With this patch the code like above becomes correct.

When sleep_time is off the function profiler ignores the time that a task
is scheduled out. When the task is scheduled out a timestamp is taken.
When the task is scheduled back in, the timestamp is compared to the
current time and the saved calltimes are adjusted accordingly.
But when stopping the function profiler, the sched switch hook that
does this adjustment was stopped before shutting down the tracer.
This allowed some tasks to not get their timestamps set when they
scheduled out. When the function profiler started again, this would
skew the times of the scheduler functions.
This patch moves the stopping of the sched switch to after the function
profiler is stopped. It also ignores zero set calltimes, which may
happen on start up.

When combined with function graph tracing the ftrace function profiler
also prints the average run time of functions. While this gives us some
good information, it doesn't tell us anything about the variance of the
run times of the function. This change prints out the s^2 sample
standard deviation alongside the average.
This change adds one entry to the profile record structure. This
increases the memory footprint of the function profiler by 1/3 on a
32-bit system, and by 1/5 on a 64-bit system when function graphing is
enabled, though the memory is only allocated when the profiler is turned
on. During the profiling, one extra line of code adds the squared
calltime to the new record entry, so this should not adversly affect
performance.
Note that the square of the sample standard deviation is printed because
there is no sqrt implementation for unsigned long long in the kernel.

When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is
performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing.
This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open
up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus.
Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is
desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we
transform the existing sequence:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(),
into the following:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_prepare();
}
ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync();
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to
do the synchronize_sched().
The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter'
memory and increments ->record_disabled.
In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this
->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus.
And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset
the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that
none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more.
This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a
sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing.

Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
in the context of a task wake-up:
a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that
the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our
wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the
domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently
woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran.
b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is
currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run
cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check
for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently.
c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but
with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up
on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran
and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on
wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause
an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the
periodic load balancer.
Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using
wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu,
then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.
The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be

will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.
v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

Patch 570b8fb505896e007fd3bb07573ba6640e51851d:
Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: Tue Mar 30 00:04:00 2010 +0100
Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling
attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending
return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a
kfree(tgcred) is inserted.
This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by
virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.

The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable. Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.
This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero. In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

After merging the block tree, 20100414's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:
ERROR: "get_gendisk" [block/blk-cgroup.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "sched_clock" [block/blk-cgroup.ko] undefined!
This happens because the two symbols aren't exported and hence not available
when blk-cgroup code is built as a module. I've tried to stay consistent with
the use of EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL with the other symbols in the
respective files.

Support basic types of integer (u8, u16, u32, u64, s8, s16, s32, s64) in
kprobe tracer. With this patch, users can specify above basic types on
each arguments after ':'. If omitted, the argument type is set as
unsigned long (u32 or u64, arch-dependent).
e.g.
echo 'p account_system_time+0 hardirq_offset=%si:s32' > kprobe_events
adds a probe recording hardirq_offset in signed-32bits value on the
entry of account_system_time.

The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion
on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel.
The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we
have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs.
There are two side effects of this:
- we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give
us the desired result.
- if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the
user context. We want to actually ignore the event.
get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so
use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows
when an event must be ignored.

Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.
This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
down with a growing number of events running on the same
contexts.
To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
they trigger.
v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic
maths along the way)
- Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the
refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it
if needed when it becomes online.
- Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore.
v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to
Eric Dumazet who spotted this.
- While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path
to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

Instead of keeping SysRq support inside of legacy keyboard driver split
it out into a separate input handler (filter). This stops most SysRq input
events from leaking into evdev clients (some events, such as first SysRq
scancode - not keycode - event, are still leaked into both legacy keyboard
and evdev).

Remove all code which is related to IRQF_DISABLED from the core kernel
code. IRQF_DISABLED still exists as a flag, but becomes a NOOP and
will be removed after a grace period. That way we can easily revert to
the previous behaviour by just restoring the core code.

Running interrupt handlers with interrupts enabled can cause stack
overflows. That has been observed with multiqueue NICs delivering all
their interrupts to a single core. We might band aid that somehow by
checking the interrupt stacks, but the real safe fix is to run the irq
handlers with interrupts disabled.
Drivers for whacky hardware still can reenable them in the handler
itself, if the need arises. (They do already due to lockdep)
The risk of doing this is rather low:
- lockdep already enforces this
- CONFIG_NOHZ has shaken out the drivers which relied on jiffies updates
- time keeping is not longer sensitive to the timer interrupt being delayed

Now that we enjoy threaded interrupts, we're starting to see irq_chip
implementations (wm831x, pca953x) that make use of threaded interrupts
for the controller, and nested interrupts for the client interrupt. It
all works very well, with one drawback:
Drivers requesting an IRQ must now know whether the handler will
run in a thread context or not, and call request_threaded_irq() or
request_irq() accordingly.
The problem is that the requesting driver sometimes doesn't know
about the nature of the interrupt, specially when the interrupt
controller is a discrete chip (typically a GPIO expander connected
over I2C) that can be connected to a wide variety of otherwise perfectly
supported hardware.
This patch introduces the request_any_context_irq() function that mostly
mimics the usual request_irq(), except that it checks whether the irq
level is configured as nested or not, and calls the right backend.
On success, it also returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED.

With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly
half a second off.
This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the
time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the
xtime_cache related code.
This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change,
where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be
not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling
the edge case in update_wall_time().
