This patch add the fundamental facility used by the following patches, so we
can implement the 'CPU units sequence reading' later.
This helps us avoid losing data when there are too many CPUs and too
small of a buffer, since this new approach allows userspace to read out
the data one CPU at a time. Thus, if the buffer is not large enough,
userspace will get whatever CPUs fit, and can then issue another read
for the remainder of the data.

Tracing (debugfs) of expedited RCU primitives is required, which in turn
requires that the relevant data be located where the tracing code can find
it, not in its current static global variables in kernel/rcutree.c.

There is a counter scheme similar to ticket locking that
synchronize_sched_expedited() uses to service multiple concurrent
callers with the same expedited grace period. Upon entry, a
sync_sched_expedited_started variable is atomically incremented,
and upon completion of a expedited grace period a separate
sync_sched_expedited_done variable is atomically incremented.
However, if a synchronize_sched_expedited() is delayed while
in try_stop_cpus(), concurrent invocations will increment the
sync_sched_expedited_started counter, which will eventually overflow.
If the original synchronize_sched_expedited() resumes execution just
as the counter overflows, a concurrent invocation could incorrectly
conclude that an expedited grace period elapsed in zero time, which
would be bad. One could rely on counter size to prevent this from
happening in practice, but the goal is to formally validate this
code, so it needs to be fixed anyway.
This commit therefore checks the gap between the two counters before
incrementing sync_sched_expedited_started, and if the gap is too
large, does a normal grace period instead. Overflow is thus only
possible if there are more than about 3.5 billion threads on 32-bit
systems, which can be excluded until such time as task_struct fits
into a single byte and 4G/4G patches are accepted into mainline.
It is also easy to encode this limitation into mechanical theorem
provers.

CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
destruction rollback somewhat working. cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and
helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the
next relevant event.
Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent
sleep at rmdir").
Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is
unnecessary. Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it. Note

Because ->pre_destroy() could fail and can't be called under
cgroup_mutex, cgroup destruction did something very ugly.
1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.
2. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().
3. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can still be destroyed; fail
otherwise.
4. Continue destroying.
In addition to being ugly, it has been always broken in various ways.
For example, memcg ->pre_destroy() expects the cgroup to be inactive
after it's done but tasks can be attached and detached between #2 and
#3 and the conditions that memcg verified in ->pre_destroy() might no
longer hold by the time control reaches #3.
Now that ->pre_destroy() is no longer allowed to fail. We can switch
to the following.
1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.
2. Deactivate CSS's and mark the cgroup removed thus preventing any
further operations which can invalidate the verification from #1.
3. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().
4. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and continue destroying.
After this change, controllers can safely assume that ->pre_destroy()
will only be called only once for a given cgroup and, once
->pre_destroy() is called, the cgroup will stay dormant till it's
destroyed.
This removes the only reason ->pre_destroy() can fail - new task being
attached or child cgroup being created inbetween. Error out path is
removed and ->pre_destroy() invocation is open coded in
cgroup_rmdir().

This is to prepare for further updates to cgroup_rmdir() path.
Note that this change isn't strictly necessary. cgroup can only be
created via mkdir and the removed marking and dentry removal happen
without releasing cgroup_mutex, so cgroup_create() can never race with
cgroup_rmdir(). Even after the scheduled updates to cgroup_rmdir(),
cgroup_mkdir() and cgroup_rmdir() are synchronized by i_mutex
rendering the added liveliness check unnecessary.

CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal. All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget(). If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.
This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).
Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism. css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.
This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated. As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context. Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().
Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c. We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

local_irq_save/restore() from cgroup_clear_css_refs() are replaced

cgroup_rmdir() is always called with IRQ enabled. Note that this IRQ
switching is necessary to ensure that css_tryget() isn't called from
IRQ context on the same CPU while lower context is between CSS
deactivation and setting CSS_REMOVED as css_tryget() would hang
forever in such cases waiting for CSS to be re-activated or

Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to
wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work
was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the
time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may
be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work
will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI
to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location).
With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing
the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used
by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the
normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed.

The tracing_enabled file was used as a quick way to stop
tracers, and try to bring down overhead for things like
the latency tracers (irqsoff, wakeup, etc). But it didn't
work that well.
The tracing_on file was created as a really fast way to
stop recording into the ftrace ring buffer and can interact
with the kernel. That is a tracing_off() call in the kernel
can disable recording of events, and then from userspace one
could echo 1 into the tracing_on file to continue it. The
tracing_enabled function did too much to allow for this.
The tracing_on has taken over as a way to start and stop tracing
and the tracing_enabled file should not be used. But because of
its existance, it still confuses people. Over a year ago the
following commit was added:

This commit added a WARN_ON() if the tracing_enabled file's variable
was changed. After this was added, only LatencyTop complained, and
they soon fixed their tool as there was no reason that LatencyTop
should touch this file as it was using the perf ring buffers which
this file does not interact with. But since that time no one else
has complained about this WARN_ON(). Thus it is safe to assume that
this file is no longer needed. Time to get rid of it.

Instead of having code to keep tracing_enabled, have the tracing_enabled
file just set tracing_on, and remove the tracing_enabled variable.
This allows us to remove the tracing_enabled file. The reason that
the remove is in a different change set and not removed here is
in case we find some lonely userspace tool that requires the file

Attempts to retrigger nested threaded IRQs currently fail because they
have no primary handler. In order to support retrigger of nested
IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered.
To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent
IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent.
Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the
other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will
never be cleared. Without clearing, it results in the first resend
working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent
resends because the replay flag is still set.
Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's
also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered
during the resume process.

Siddhesh analyzed a failure in the take over of pi futexes in case the
owner died and provided a workaround.
See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14076
The detailed problem analysis shows:
Futex F is initialized with PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT and
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP attributes.
T1 lock_futex_pi(F);
T2 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated
to T1.
T1 exits
--> exit_robust_list() runs
--> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and
FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.
T3 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> Succeeds due to the check for F's userspace TID field == 0
--> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
userspace TID field of futex F
--> returns to user space
T1 --> exit_pi_state_list()
--> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes T2 via
rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex)
T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains real ownership of the
pi_state
--> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
userspace TID field of futex F
--> returns to user space
T3 --> observes inconsistent state
This problem is independent of UP/SMP, preemptible/non preemptible
kernels, or process shared vs. private. The only difference is that
certain configurations are more likely to expose it.
So as Siddhesh correctly analyzed the following check in
futex_lock_pi_atomic() is the culprit:
if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {
We check the userspace value for a TID value of 0 and take over the
futex unconditionally if that's true.
AFAICT this check is there as it is correct for a different corner
case of futexes: the WAITERS bit became stale.
Now the proposed change
- if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {
+ if (unlikely(ownerdied ||
+ !(curval & (FUTEX_TID_MASK | FUTEX_WAITERS)))) {
solves the problem, but it's not obvious why and it wreckages the
"stale WAITERS bit" case.
What happens is, that due to the WAITERS bit being set (T2 is blocked
on that futex) it enforces T3 to go through lookup_pi_state(), which
in the above case returns an existing pi_state and therefor forces T3
to legitimately fight with T2 over the ownership of the pi_state (via
pi_state->mutex). Probelm solved!
Though that does not work for the "WAITERS bit is stale" problem
because if lookup_pi_state() does not find existing pi_state it
returns -ERSCH (due to TID == 0) which causes futex_lock_pi() to
return -ESRCH to user space because the OWNER_DIED bit is not set.
Now there is a different solution to that problem. Do not look at the
user space value at all and enforce a lookup of possibly available
pi_state. If pi_state can be found, then the new incoming locker T3
blocks on that pi_state and legitimately races with T2 to acquire the
rt_mutex and the pi_state and therefor the proper ownership of the
user space futex.
lookup_pi_state() has the correct order of checks. It first tries to
find a pi_state associated with the user space futex and only if that
fails it checks for futex TID value = 0. If no pi_state is available
nothing can create new state at that point because this happens with
the hash bucket lock held.
So the above scenario changes to:
T1 lock_futex_pi(F);
T2 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated
to T1.
T1 exits
--> exit_robust_list() runs
--> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and
FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.
T3 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> Finds pi_state and blocks on pi_state->rt_mutex
T1 --> exit_pi_state_list()
--> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes it via
rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex)
T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains ownership of the pi_state
--> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
userspace TID field of futex F
--> returns to user space
This covers all gazillion points on which T3 might come in between
T1's exit_robust_list() clearing the TID field and T2 fixing it up. It
also solves the "WAITERS bit stale" problem by forcing the take over.
Another benefit of changing the code this way is that it makes it less
dependent on untrusted user space values and therefor minimizes the
possible wreckage which might be inflicted.
As usual after staring for too long at the futex code my brain hurts
so much that I really want to ditch that whole optimization of

Whenever an event is registered, the comm of tasks are saved at
every task switch instead of saving them at every event. But if
an event isn't executed much, the comm cache will be filled up
by tasks that did not record the event and you lose out on the comms
that did.
Here's an example, if you enable the following events:
echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kvm/kvm_cr/enable
echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable
Note, there's no kvm running on this machine so the first event will
never be triggered, but because it is enabled, the storing of comms
will continue. If we now disable the network event:
echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable
and look at the trace:
cat /debug/tracing/trace

Since tracing is not used by 99% of Linux users, even though tracing
may be configured in, it does not make sense to allocate 1.4 Megs
per CPU for the ring buffers if they are not used. Thus, on boot up
the ring buffers are set to a minimal size until something needs the
and they are expanded.
This works well for events and tracers (function, etc), but for the
asynchronous use of trace_printk() which can write to the ring buffer
at any time, does not expand the buffers.
On boot up a check is made to see if any trace_printk() is used to
see if the trace_printk() temp buffer pages should be allocated. This
same code can be used to expand the buffers as well.

The existing 'overrun' counter is incremented when the ring
buffer wraps around, with overflow on (the default). We wanted
a way to count requests lost from the buffer filling up with
overflow off, too. I decided to add a new counter instead
of retro-fitting the existing one because it seems like a
different statistic to count conceptually, and also because
of how the code was structured.

There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early
boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall()
which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command
line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function
tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before
device_initcall().
There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the
boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come
after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

Masaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a
module's symtab wasn't transferred. This is because we manually copy
the zero'th entry (which is always empty) then copy the rest in a loop
starting at 1, though from src[0]. His fix was minimal, I prefer to
rewrite the loops in more standard form.
There are two loops: one to get the size, and one to copy. Make these
identical: always count entry 0 and any defined symbol in an allocated
non-init section.
This bug exists since the following commit was introduced.

With both patches applied, all you have to do to crash a box is
disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer
dereference due to 800d4d30 not allowing autogroup to move things,
and 8323f26ce making that the only way to switch runqueues.
Remove most of the (dysfunctional) knobs and turn the remaining
sched_autogroup_enabled knob readonly.
If the user fiddles with cgroups hereafter, once tasks
are moved, autogroup won't mess with them again unless
they call setsid().

I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work
on POWER7 but I'm getting the following:
% perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
true: Terminated
(FWIW adding -a and it works fine)
Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC
because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this
CPU.
I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open
syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1]. The first syscall
succeeds but the second is failing.
On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned
to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU. This is
because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather
than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware
breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC.
The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU
for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned. I'm not familiar with
this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.

vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
the second case it only handles irq time accounting.
So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.

With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account()
is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the
context: if we are interrupting the idle task we
account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account
to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time,
softirq time, ...
However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry
and softirq entry:
* Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case
we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle.
* The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if
it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call
in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd
is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context
switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time
already flushed from the hardirq entry.
In the other cases we always account to system/irq time:
* On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time.
* On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time.
To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account()
and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and
only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call
vtime_account_system().
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly
maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want
to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting
as well in the future.

vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with
vtime_account() which is irq safe.
Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where
irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime.
So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".
vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.

try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.
We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.
And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".

and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.

If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be
correct. This is not:
1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither
necessary nor desired. This is especially so since newer
versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources.
2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not
/dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the
past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on
/dev/hwrng.)
Overall it is better if the documentation for rngd is kept with rngd
rather than in a kernel Makefile.

'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of
upids at the end.
The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces. Now a
level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page.
Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page. MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is
not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on
architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a
new fields in struct pid or struct upid.
I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand
"struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases.
When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a
sysctl parameter.
In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have
many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying.
zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will
be called for each process in a namespace. find_vpid will be called
minimum max_level^2 / 2 times. The reason of that is that when we found a
bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it
isn't.
vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested
namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time. For example my
system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.

__update_entity_runnable_avg forms the core of maintaining an entity's runnable
load average. In this function we charge the accumulated run-time since last
update and handle appropriate decay. In some cases, e.g. a waking task, this
time interval may be much larger than our period unit.
Fortunately we can exploit some properties of our series to perform decay for a
blocked update in constant time and account the contribution for a running
update in essentially-constant* time.
[*]: For any running entity they should be performing updates at the tick which
gives us a soft limit of 1 jiffy between updates, and we can compute up to a
32 jiffy update in a single pass.

With bandwidth control tracked entities may cease execution according to user
specified bandwidth limits. Charging this time as either throttled or blocked
however, is incorrect and would falsely skew in either direction.
What we actually want is for any throttled periods to be "invisible" to
load-tracking as they are removed from the system for that interval and
contribute normally otherwise.
Do this by moderating the progression of time to omit any periods in which the
entity belonged to a throttled hierarchy.

Entities of equal weight should receive equitable distribution of cpu time.
This is challenging in the case of a task_group's shares as execution may be
occurring on multiple cpus simultaneously.
To handle this we divide up the shares into weights proportionate with the load
on each cfs_rq. This does not however, account for the fact that the sum of
the parts may be less than one cpu and so we need to normalize:
load(tg) = min(runnable_avg(tg), 1) * tg->shares
Where runnable_avg is the aggregate time in which the task_group had runnable
children.

cfs_rq->blocked_runnable_avg. In the sleep case this occurs while holding
rq->lock and so is a natural transition. Wake-ups however, are potentially

We use an atomic counter to track such migrated load, taking care to match this

We are currently maintaining:
runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t)
For all running children t of cfs_rq. While this can be naturally updated for
tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for
the load contributed by blocked task entities.
This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load:
blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b)
Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for
their decay, we instead observe that:
runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i
and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute:
y*runnable_load(t).
This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating:
blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq)
Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens
we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.

Instead of tracking averaging the load parented by a cfs_rq, we can track
entity load directly. With the load for a given cfs_rq then being the sum
of its children.
To do this we represent the historical contribution to runnable average
within each trailing 1024us of execution as the coefficients of a
geometric series.
We can express this for a given task t as:
runnable_sum(t) = \Sum u_i * y^i, runnable_avg_period(t) = \Sum 1024 * y^i
load(t) = weight_t * runnable_sum(t) / runnable_avg_period(t)
Where: u_i is the usage in the last i`th 1024us period (approximately 1ms)
~ms and y is chosen such that y^k = 1/2. We currently choose k to be 32 which
roughly translates to about a sched period.

Instead of BUG_ON(in_interrupt()), since that doesn't check for all
the newfangled stuff like preempt.
Note that this is valid since the console_sem is essentially used like
a real mutex with only two twists:
- we allow trylock from hardirq context
- across suspend/resume we lock the logical console_lock, but drop the
semaphore protecting the locking state.
Now that doesn't guarantee that no one is playing tricks in
single-thread atomic contexts at suspend/resume/boot time, but
- I couldn't find anything suspicious with some grepping,
- might_sleep shouldn't die,
- and I think the upside of catching more potential issues is worth
the risk of getting a might_sleep backtrace that would have been
save (and then dealing with that fallout).

The RCU CPU stall warnings rely on trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to
do NMI-based dump of the stack traces of all CPUs. Unfortunately, a
number of architectures do not implement trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), in
which case RCU falls back to just dumping the stack of the running CPU.
This is unhelpful in the case where the running CPU has detected that
some other CPU has stalled.
This commit therefore makes the running CPU dump the stacks of the
tasks running on the stalled CPUs.

Dave Airlie recently discovered a locking bug in the fbcon layer,
where a timer_del_sync (for the blinking cursor) deadlocks with the
timer itself, since both (want to) hold the console_lock:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36
Unfortunately the console_lock isn't a plain mutex and hence has no
lockdep support. Which resulted in a few days wasted of tracking down
this bug (complicated by the fact that printk doesn't show anything
when the console is locked) instead of noticing the bug much earlier
with the lockdep splat.
Hence I've figured I need to fix that for the next deadlock involving
console_lock - and with kms/drm growing ever more complex locking
that'll eventually happen.
Now the console_lock has rather funky semantics, so after a quick irc
discussion with Thomas Gleixner and Dave Airlie I've quickly ditched
the original idead of switching to a real mutex (since it won't work)
and instead opted to annotate the console_lock with lockdep
information manually.
There are a few special cases:
- The console_lock state is protected by the console_sem, and usually
grabbed/dropped at _lock/_unlock time. But the suspend/resume code
drops the semaphore without dropping the console_lock (see
suspend_console/resume_console). But since the same thread that did
the suspend will do the resume, we don't need to fix up anything.
- In the printk code there's a special trylock, only used to kick off
the logbuffer printk'ing in console_unlock. But all that happens
while lockdep is disable (since printk does a few other evil
tricks). So no issue there, either.
- The console_lock can also be acquired form irq context (but only
with a trylock). lockdep already handles that.
This all leaves us with annotating the normal console_lock, _unlock
and _trylock functions.
And yes, it works - simply unloading a drm kms driver resulted in
lockdep complaining about the deadlock in fbcon_deinit:

freezer_read/write() used cgroup_lock_live_group() to synchronize
against task migration into and out of the target cgroup.
cgroup_lock_live_group() grabs the internal cgroup lock and using it
from outside cgroup core leads to complex and fragile locking
dependency issues which are difficult to resolve.
Now that freezer_can_attach() is replaced with freezer_attach() and
update_if_frozen() updated, nothing requires excluding migration
against freezer state reads and changes.
This patch removes cgroup_lock_live_group() and the matching
cgroup_unlock() usages. The prone-to-bitrot, already outdated and
unnecessary global lock hierarchy documentation is replaced with
documentation in local scope.

Locking will change such that migration can happen while
freezer_read/write() is in progress. This means that
update_if_frozen() can no longer assume that all tasks in the cgroup
coform to the current freezer state - newly migrated tasks which
haven't finished freezer_attach() yet might be in any state.
This patch updates update_if_frozen() such that it no longer verifies
task states against freezer state. It now simply decides whether
FREEZING stage is complete.
This removal of verification makes it meaningless to call from
freezer_change_state(). Drop it and move the fast exit test from
freezer_read() - the only left caller - to update_if_frozen().

cgroup_freezer is one of the few users of cgroup_subsys->can_attach()
and uses it to prevent tasks from being migrated into or out of a
frozen cgroup. This makes cgroup_freezer cumbersome to use especially
when co-mounted with other controllers.
->can_attach() is problematic in general as it can make co-mounting
multiple cgroups difficult - migrating tasks may fail for reasons
completely irrelevant for other controllers. freezer_can_attach() in
particular is more problematic because it messes with cgroup internal
locking to ensure that the state verification performed at
freezer_can_attach() stays valid until migration is complete.
This patch replaces freezer_can_attach() with freezer_attach() so that
tasks are always allowed to migrate - they are nudged into the
conforming state from freezer_attach(). This means that there can be
tasks which are being migrated which don't conform to the current
cgroup_freezer state until freezer_attach() is complete. Under the
current locking scheme, the only such place is freezer_fork() which is
updated to handle such window.
While this patch doesn't remove the use of internal cgroup locking
from freezer_read/write() paths, it removes the requirement to keep
the freezer state constant while migrating and enables such change.
Note that this creates a userland visible behavior change - FROZEN
cgroup can no longer be used to lock migrations in and out of the
cgroup. This behavior change is intended. I don't think the feature
is necessary - userland should coordinate accesses to cgroup fs anyway
- and even if the feature is needed cgroup_freezer is the completely
wrong place to implement it.

Because grace-period initialization is carried out by a separate
kthread, it might happen on a different CPU than the one that
had the callback needing a grace period -- which is where the
callback acceleration needs to happen.
Fortunately, rcu_start_gp() holds the root rcu_node structure's
->lock, which prevents a new grace period from starting. This
allows this function to safely determine that a grace period has
not yet started, which in turn allows it to fully accelerate any
callbacks that it has pending. This commit adds this acceleration.

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().
This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.
From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion:
free_pid_ns(parent)
put_pid_ns(parent)
kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
free_pid_ns
thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.
This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.

cgroup_freezer doesn't transition from FREEZING to FROZEN if the
cgroup contains PF_NOFREEZE tasks or tasks sleeping with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP set.
Only kernel tasks can be non-freezable (PF_NOFREEZE) and there's
nothing cgroup_freezer or userland can do about or to it. It's
pointless to stall the transition for PF_NOFREEZE tasks.
PF_FREEZER_SKIP indicates that the task can be skipped when
determining whether frozen state is reached. A task with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP is guaranteed to perform try_to_freeze() after it
wakes up and can be considered frozen much like stopped or traced
tasks. Note that a vfork parent uses PF_FREEZER_SKIP while waiting
for the child.
This updates update_if_frozen() such that it only considers freezable
tasks and treats %true freezer_should_skip() tasks as frozen.
This allows cgroups w/ kthreads and vfork parents successfully reach
FROZEN state.

try_to_freeze_cgroup() has condition checks which are intended to fail
the write operation to freezer.state if there are tasks which can't be
frozen. The condition checks have been broken for quite some time
now. freeze_task() returns %false if the target task can't be frozen,
so num_cant_freeze_now is never incremented.
In addition, strangely, cgroup freezing proceeds even after the write
is failed, which is rather broken.
This patch rips out the non-working code intended to fail the write to
freezer.state when the cgroup contains non-freezable tasks and makes
it official that writes to freezer.state succeed whether there are
non-freezable tasks in the cgroup or not.
This leaves is_task_frozen_enough() with only one user -
upste_if_frozen(). Collapse it into the caller. Note that this
removes an extra call to freezing().
This doesn't cause any userland behavior changes.

cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state. If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.
cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set. Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer. If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.
This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.
Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager
does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen
or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines
correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen.
Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you
cannot scroll back.
The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many
characters are printed. It might not be perfect considering you can
output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a
substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs.
This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS
variable.

In order to accomodate retrying path-based syscalls, we need to add a
new "type" argument to audit_inode_child. This will tell us whether
we're looking for a child entry that represents a create or a delete.
If we find a parent, don't automatically assume that we need to create a
new entry. Instead, use the information we have to try to find an
existing entry first. Update it if one is found and create a new one if
not.

Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into
audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems
wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets
called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path
but has the parent inode info attached.
Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets
set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for
the audit entry correctly from the get-go.
While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the
!CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case.

Most of the callers get called with an inode and dentry in the reverse

Pull second set of pinctrl patches from Linus Walleij:
"Here is a late pinctrl pull request with stuff that wasn't quite
tested at the first pull request.
The main reason to not hold off is that the modifications to
irq_domain_add_simple() as reviewed by Rob Herring introduce new
infrastructure for irqdomains that will be useful for the next cycle:
instead of sprinkling irq descriptor allocation all over the kernel
wherever a "legacy" domain is registered, which is necessary for any
platform using sparse IRQs, and many irq chips are say GPIO
controllers which may be used with several systems, some with sparse
IRQs some not, we push this into the irq_domain_add_simple() so we can
atleast do mistakes in one place.
The irq_domain_add_simple() is currently unused in the kernel, so I
need to provide a user. The Nomadik stuff that goes with are changes
to the driver I use day-to-day to make use of this facility (and a
dependency), so see it as a way to eat my own dogfood: if this blows
up the egg hits my face.

With a system where, num_present_cpus < num_possible_cpus, even if all
CPUs are online, non-present CPUs don't have per_cpu buffers allocated.
If per_cpu/<cpu>/buffer_size_kb is modified for such a CPU, it can cause
a panic due to NULL dereference in ring_buffer_resize().
To fix this, resize operation is allowed only if the per-cpu buffer has
been initialized.

Use the same digest type for the autogenerated key signature as for the module
signature so that the hash algorithm is guaranteed to be present in the kernel.
Without this, the X.509 certificate loader may reject the X.509 certificate so
generated because it was self-signed and the signature will be checked against
itself - but this won't work if the digest algorithm must be loaded as a
module.
The symptom is that the key fails to load with the following message emitted
into the kernel log:
MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-65)
the error in brackets being -ENOPKG. What you should see is something like:
MODSIGN: Loaded cert 'Magarathea: Glacier signing key: 9588321144239a119d3406d4c4cf1fbae1836fa0'

Check the signature on the module against the keys compiled into the kernel or
available in a hardware key store.
Currently, only RSA keys are supported - though that's easy enough to change,
and the signature is expected to contain raw components (so not a PGP or
PKCS#7 formatted blob).
The signature blob is expected to consist of the following pieces in order:
(1) The binary identifier for the key. This is expected to match the
SubjectKeyIdentifier from an X.509 certificate. Only X.509 type
identifiers are currently supported.
(2) The signature data, consisting of a series of MPIs in which each is in
the format of a 2-byte BE word sizes followed by the content data.
(3) A 12 byte information block of the form:
struct module_signature {
enum pkey_algo algo : 8;
enum pkey_hash_algo hash : 8;
enum pkey_id_type id_type : 8;
u8 __pad;
__be32 id_length;
__be32 sig_length;
};
The three enums are defined in crypto/public_key.h.
'algo' contains the public-key algorithm identifier (0->DSA, 1->RSA).
'hash' contains the digest algorithm identifier (0->MD4, 1->MD5, 2->SHA1,
etc.).
'id_type' contains the public-key identifier type (0->PGP, 1->X.509).
'__pad' should be 0.
'id_length' should contain in the binary identifier length in BE form.
'sig_length' should contain in the signature data length in BE form.
The lengths are in BE order rather than CPU order to make dealing with
cross-compilation easier.

Automatically generate keys for module signing if they're absent so that
allyesconfig doesn't break. The builder should consider generating their own
key and certificate, however, so that the keys are appropriately named.
The private key for the module signer should be placed in signing_key.priv
(unencrypted!) and the public key in an X.509 certificate as signing_key.x509.
If a transient key is desired for signing the modules, a config file for
'openssl req' can be placed in x509.genkey, looking something like the
following:
[ req ]
default_bits = 4096
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
prompt = no
x509_extensions = myexts
[ req_distinguished_name ]
O = Magarathea
CN = Glacier signing key
emailAddress = slartibartfast@magrathea.h2g2
[ myexts ]
basicConstraints=critical,CA:FALSE
keyUsage=digitalSignature
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=hash
The build process will use this to configure:
openssl req -new -nodes -utf8 -sha1 -days 36500 -batch \
-x509 -config x509.genkey \
-outform DER -out signing_key.x509 \
-keyout signing_key.priv
to generate the key.
Note that it is required that the X.509 certificate have a subjectKeyIdentifier
and an authorityKeyIdentifier. Without those, the certificate will be
rejected. These can be used to check the validity of a certificate.
Note that 'make distclean' will remove signing_key.{priv,x509} and x509.genkey,
whether or not they were generated automatically.

We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway). There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.
If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

Currently we rely on all IRQ chip instances to dynamically
allocate their IRQ descriptors unless they use the linear

irqdomain_add_simple() the caller need to make sure that
descriptors are allocated.
Let's slightly augment the yet unused irqdomain_add_simple()
to also allocate descriptors as a means to simplify usage
and avoid code duplication throughout the kernel.
We warn if descriptors cannot be allocated, e.g. if a
platform has the bad habit of hogging descriptors at boot
time.

not added endlessly to their own list again, instead they are added to

In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we

call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte.
This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.
Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients
implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of
outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

Update the generic interval tree code that was introduced in "mm: replace
vma prio_tree with an interval tree".
Changes:
- fixed 'endpoing' typo noticed by Andrew Morton
- replaced include/linux/interval_tree_tmpl.h, which was used as a
template (including it automatically defined the interval tree
functions) with include/linux/interval_tree_generic.h, which only
defines a preprocessor macro INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE(), which itself
defines the interval tree functions when invoked. Now that is a very
long macro which is unfortunate, but it does make the usage sites
(lib/interval_tree.c and mm/interval_tree.c) a bit nicer than previously.
- make use of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() in the INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE() macro,
instead of duplicating that code in the interval tree template.
- replaced vma_interval_tree_add(), which was actually handling the
nonlinear and interval tree cases, with vma_interval_tree_insert_after()
which handles only the interval tree case and has an API that is more
consistent with the other interval tree handling functions.
The nonlinear case is now handled explicitly in kernel/fork.c dup_mmap().

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it
resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.
VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets
mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
mm->exe_file while task is running.
comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"),

exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.
Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to
remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().
mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall
task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved
by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock.
get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus()
decrements it. If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up
compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for
example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a
hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer.
So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the
refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can
continue to run.

It would of course be good to eliminate grace-period delays from
CPU-hotplug notifiers, but that is a separate issue. Deadlock is
not an appropriate diagnostic for excessive CPU-hotplug latency.
Fortunately, grace-period initialization does not actually need to
exclude all of the CPU-hotplug operation, but rather only RCU's own
CPU_UP_PREPARE and CPU_DEAD CPU-hotplug notifiers. This commit therefore
introduces a new per-rcu_state onoff_mutex that provides the required
concurrency control in place of the get_online_cpus() that was previously
in rcu_gp_init().

Multiple threads can manipulate uprobe->flags, this is obviously
unsafe. For example mmap can set UPROBE_COPY_INSN while register
tries to set UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER, the latter can also race with

install_breakpoint() is called under mm->mmap_sem, this protects
set_swbp() but not prepare_uprobe(). Two or more different tasks
can call install_breakpoint()->prepare_uprobe() at the same time,
this leads to numerous problems if UPROBE_COPY_INSN is not set.
Just for example, the second copy_insn() can corrupt the already
analyzed/fixuped uprobe->arch.insn and race with handle_swbp().
This patch simply adds uprobe->copy_mutex to serialize this code.
We could probably reuse ->consumer_rwsem, but this would mean that
consumer->handler() can not use mm->mmap_sem, not good.
Note: this is another temporary ugly hack until we move this logic
into uprobe_register().

Strictly speaking this race was added by me in 56bb4cf6. However
I think that this bug is just another indication that we should
move copy_insn/uprobe_analyze_insn code from install_breakpoint()
to uprobe_register(), there are a lot of other reasons for that.
Until then, add a hack to close the race.
A task can hit uprobe U1, but before it calls find_uprobe() this
uprobe can be unregistered *AND* another uprobe U2 can be added to
uprobes_tree at the same inode/offset. In this case handle_swbp()
will use the not-fully-initialized U2, in particular its arch.insn
for xol.
Add the additional !UPROBE_COPY_INSN check into handle_swbp(),
if this flag is not set we simply restart as if the new uprobe was
not inserted yet. This is not very nice, we need barriers, but we
will remove this hack when we change uprobe_register().
Note: with or without this patch install_breakpoint() can race with
itself, yet another reson to kill UPROBE_COPY_INSN altogether. And
even the usage of uprobe->flags is not safe. See the next patches.

delete_uprobe() must not be called if register_for_each_vma(false)
fails to remove all breakpoints, __uprobe_unregister() is correct.
The problem is that register_for_each_vma(false) always returns 0
and thus this logic does not work.
1. Change verify_opcode() to return 0 rather than -EINVAL when
unregister detects the !is_swbp insn, we can treat this case
as success and currently unregister paths ignore the error
code anyway.
2. Change remove_breakpoint() to propagate the error code from
write_opcode().
3. Change register_for_each_vma(is_register => false) to remove
as much breakpoints as possible but return non-zero if
remove_breakpoint() fails at least once.

orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps:
step 1: Call user space application to poweroff
step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param
is set.
The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey
the design goal of orderly_poweroff.
We have two choices here:
UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process;
UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete.
we need to trade off the two choices:
If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E.
Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely)
reason fail.
If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W.
Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can
easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for
us when we are waiting for the user space caller.
Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we
finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user
application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it
seems a better choice here.

sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is not initialized, and all the masks are 0.
As a result, the build_overlap_sched_groups() will initialize a NULL
sched_group for the new cpu on the new node, which will lead to kernel panic:

We should temporarily reset 'sched_domains_numa_levels' to 0 after
it is reset to 'level' in sched_init_numa(). If it fails to allocate
memory for array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], the array will contain
less then 'level' members. This could be dangerous when we use it to
iterate array sched_domains_numa_masks[][] in other functions.
This patch set sched_domains_numa_levels to 0 before initializing
array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], and reset it to 'level' when
sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is fully initialized.

When we stop the tick in idle, we save the current jiffies value
in ts->idle_jiffies. This snapshot is substracted from the later
value of jiffies when the tick is restarted and the resulting
delta is accounted as idle cputime. This is how we handle the
idle cputime accounting without the tick.
But sometimes we need to schedule the next tick to some time in
the future instead of completely stopping it. In this case, a
tick may happen before we restart the periodic behaviour and
from that tick we account one jiffy to idle cputime as usual but
we also increment the ts->idle_jiffies snapshot by one so that
when we compute the delta to account, we substract the one jiffy
we just accounted.
To prepare for stopping the tick outside idle, we introduced a
check that prevents from fixing up that ts->idle_jiffies if we
are not running the idle task. But we use idle_cpu() for that
and this is a problem if we run the tick while another CPU
remotely enqueues a ttwu to our runqueue:
CPU 0: CPU 1:
tick_sched_timer() { ttwu_queue_remote()
if (idle_cpu(CPU 0))
ts->idle_jiffies++;
}
Here, idle_cpu() notes that &rq->wake_list is not empty and
hence won't consider the CPU as idle. As a result,
ts->idle_jiffies won't be incremented. But this is wrong because
we actually account the current jiffy to idle cputime. And that
jiffy won't get substracted from the nohz time delta. So in the
end, this jiffy is accounted twice.
Fix this by changing idle_cpu(smp_processor_id()) with
is_idle_task(current). This way the jiffy is substracted
correctly even if a ttwu operation is enqueued on the CPU.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

Make the session keyring per-thread rather than per-process, but still
inherited from the parent thread to solve a problem with PAM and gdm.
The problem is that join_session_keyring() will reject attempts to change the
session keyring of a multithreaded program but gdm is now multithreaded before
it gets to the point of starting PAM and running pam_keyinit to create the
session keyring. See:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49211
The reason that join_session_keyring() will only change the session keyring
under a single-threaded environment is that it's hard to alter the other
thread's credentials to effect the change in a multi-threaded program. The
problems are such as:
(1) How to prevent two threads both running join_session_keyring() from
racing.
(2) Another thread's credentials may not be modified directly by this process.
(3) The number of threads is uncertain whilst we're not holding the
appropriate spinlock, making preallocation slightly tricky.
(4) We could use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and key_replace_session_keyring() to get
another thread to replace its keyring, but that means preallocating for
each thread.
A reasonable way around this is to make the session keyring per-thread rather
than per-process and just document that if you want a common session keyring,
you must get it before you spawn any threads - which is the current situation
anyway.
Whilst we're at it, we can the process keyring behave in the same way. This
means we can clean up some of the ickyness in the creds code.
Basically, after this patch, the session, process and thread keyrings are about
inheritance rules only and not about sharing changes of keyring.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
sense when nested.
This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for
fixing them in the future. This was put in a separate branch because
more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the
memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top."

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

This fixes two issues that could cause incompatibility between
kernel versions:
- If a tracer uses SECCOMP_RET_TRACE to select a syscall number
higher than the largest known syscall, emulate the unknown
vsyscall by returning -ENOSYS. (This is unlikely to make a
noticeable difference on x86-64 due to the way the system call
entry works.)
- On x86-64 with vsyscall=emulate, skipped vsyscalls were buggy.
This updates the documentation accordingly.

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
over 30 contributors. Most of the activity was on the tooling side.
Higher level changes:
- New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool
- uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.
- Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
Irina Tirdea
- Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
entry.
The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
solution.
- Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

Feng Tang
- Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
Feng Tang.
Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:
- Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
- Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
readily caught.
- Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
from Eric Sandeen.
- Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
'report', from Feng Tang.
- Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

Richter
- Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event

far parsing the common and per event fields. ]

Trippelsdorf.

Unlike set_swbp(), set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr() makes sense,
although it can't prevent all confusions.
But the usage of is_swbp_at_addr() is equally confusing, and it adds
the extra get_user_pages() we can avoid.
This patch removes set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr() but changes
write_opcode() to do the necessary checks before replace_page().
Perhaps it also makes sense to ensure PAGE_MAPPING_ANON in unregister
case.
find_active_uprobe() becomes the only user of is_swbp_at_addr(),
we can change its semantics.

A separate patch for better documentation.
set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr() is not needed for correctness, it is
harmless to do the unnecessary __replace_page(old_page, new_page)
when these 2 pages are identical.
And it can not be counted as optimization. mmap/register races are
very unlikely, while in the likely case is_swbp_at_addr() adds the
extra get_user_pages() even if the caller is uprobe_mmap(current->mm)
and returns false.
Note also that the semantics/usage of is_swbp_at_addr() in uprobe.c
is confusing. set_swbp() uses it to detect the case when this insn
was already modified by uprobes, that is why it should always compare
the opcode with UPROBE_SWBP_INSN even if the hardware (like powerpc)
has other trap insns. It doesn't matter if this breakpoint was in fact
installed by gdb or application itself, we are going to "steal" this
breakpoint anyway and execute the original insn from vm_file even if
it no longer matches the memory.
OTOH, handle_swbp()->find_active_uprobe() uses is_swbp_at_addr() to
figure out whether we need to send SIGTRAP or not if we can not find
uprobe, so in this case it should return true for all trap variants,
not only for UPROBE_SWBP_INSN.
This patch removes set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr(), the next patches
will remove it from set_orig_insn() which is similar to set_swbp()
in this respect. So the only caller will be handle_swbp() and we
can make its semantics clear.

valid_vma(false) ignores ->vm_flags, this is not actually right.
We should never try to write into MAP_SHARED mapping, this can
confuse an apllication which actually writes to ->vm_file.
With this patch valid_vma(false) ignores VM_WRITE only but checks
other (immutable) bits checked by valid_vma(true). This can also
speedup uprobe_munmap() and uprobe_unregister().
Note: even after this patch _unregister can confuse the probed
application if it does mprotect(PROT_WRITE) after _register and
installs "int3", but this is hardly possible to avoid and this
doesn't differ from gdb case.

write_opcode()->get_user_pages() needs FOLL_FORCE to ensure we can
read the page even if the probed task did mprotect(PROT_NONE) after
uprobe_register(). Without FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_FORCE doesn't have any
side effect but allows to read the !VM_READ memory.
Otherwiese the subsequent uprobe_unregister()->set_orig_insn() fails

Kill UTASK_BP_HIT state, it buys nothing but complicates the code.
It is only used in uprobe_notify_resume() to decide who should be
called, we can check utask->active_uprobe != NULL instead. And this
allows us to simplify handle_swbp(), no need to clear utask->state.
Likewise we could kill UTASK_SSTEP, but UTASK_BP_HIT is worse and
imho should die. The problem is, it creates the special case when
task->utask is NULL, we can't distinguish RUNNING and BP_HIT. With
this patch utask == NULL always means RUNNING.

If handle_swbp()->add_utask() fails but UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP is set,
cleanup_ret: path do not restart the insn, this is wrong. Remove
this check and add the additional label for can_skip_sstep() = T
case.
Note also that UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP can be false positive, we simply
can not trust it unless arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() was already called.
Also, move another UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP check before can_skip_sstep()
into this helper, this looks more clean and understandable.
Note: probably we should rename "skip" to "emulate" and I think
that "clear UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP" should be moved to arch_can_skip.

Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing
ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer.
Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the
splice_write side operation without affinity setting.
Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the
tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute
splice write side operation on the same node. In this case,
the page will be accessed from the another node.
Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing
thread to corresponding node.

The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the
.ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module.
Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only
fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems.
module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now.
It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once
the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module
if the first one failed to initialize for some reason). It's also
consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading.

We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing
the symbol is still loading. However:
1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init
function, but there are other failure paths after the module is
placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing.
2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all
modules, so we need to wake them all.
3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling
it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after
the state assignment.

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
(*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
mod_arch_specific struct.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes
the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes
the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.
With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

When exceptions or irq are about to resume userspace, if
the task needs to be rescheduled, the arch low level code
calls schedule() directly.
If we call it, it is because we have the TIF_RESCHED flag:
- It can be set after random local calls to set_need_resched()
(RCU, drm, ...)
- A wake up happened and the CPU needs preemption. This can
happen in several ways:
* Remotely: the remote waking CPU has set TIF_RESCHED and send the
wakee an IPI to schedule the new task.
* Remotely enqueued: the remote waking CPU sends an IPI to the target
and the wake up is made by the target.
* Locally: waking CPU == wakee CPU and the wakeup is done locally.
set_need_resched() is called without IPI.
In the case of local and remotely enqueued wake ups, the tick can
be restarted when we enqueue the new task and RCU can exit the
extended quiescent state at the same time. Then by the time we reach
irq exit path and we call schedule, we are not in RCU user mode.
But if we call schedule() only because something called set_need_resched(),
RCU may still be in user mode when we reach schedule.
Also if a wake up is done remotely, the CPU might see the TIF_RESCHED
flag and call schedule while the IPI has not yet happen to restart the
tick and exit RCU user mode.
We need to manually protect against these corner cases.
Create a new API schedule_user() that calls schedule() inside
rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() in order to protect it. Archs
will need to rely on it now to implement user preemption safely.

When an exception or an irq exits, and we are going to resume into
interrupted kernel code, the low level architecture code calls
preempt_schedule_irq() if there is a need to reschedule.
If the interrupt/exception occured between a call to rcu_user_enter()
(from syscall exit, exception exit, do_notify_resume exit, ...) and
a real resume to userspace (iret,...), preempt_schedule_irq() can be
called whereas RCU thinks we are in userspace. But preempt_schedule_irq()
is going to run kernel code and may be some RCU read side critical
section. We must exit the userspace extended quiescent state before
we call it.
To solve this, just call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of
preempt_schedule_irq().

In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode
from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this
CPU a resched IPI. In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI
handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler
after having exited that mode.
To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU:
- rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(),
the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state.
In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice
it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt.
- rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting
interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also
between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls
rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent
state.

RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which
prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn
would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock
interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in
question.
This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which
allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode. These are quite similar
to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they
omit the idle-task checks.

bigrt.2012.09.23a contains additional commits to reduce scheduling latency
from RCU on huge systems (many hundrends or thousands of CPUs).
doctorture.2012.09.23a contains documentation changes and rcutorture fixes.
fixes.2012.09.23a contains miscellaneous fixes.
hotplug.2012.09.23a contains CPU-hotplug-related changes.
idle.2012.09.23a fixes architectures for which RCU no longer considered
the idle loop to be a quiescent state due to earlier
adaptive-dynticks changes. Affected architectures are alpha,
cris, frv, h8300, m32r, m68k, mn10300, parisc, score, xtensa,
and ia64.
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg()
operations.
This page is used to build fragments for skbs.
Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into
single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent)
But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly
idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page
Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need
about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit
page allocator more than wanted.
This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages,
if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure.
(up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86)
This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device,
but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are
mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck
mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled.
Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments,
but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a
fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536
Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
* ftrace enable
* sysfs event entry creation
This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.
Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall,
it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from
core_initcall to early_initcall.

We have markers in GL, X, etc. These are super handy for Chrome's

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.
This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.
This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.
Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.
For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.
Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.
This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.
This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.
NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

in __run_hrtimer after it called alarmtimer_fired.
It ends up the alarmtimer code was not properly handling
possible failures of hrtimer_try_to_cancel, and because
these faulres occur when the underlying base hrtimer is
being run, this limits the ability to properly handle
modifications to any alarmtimers on that base.
Because much of the logic duplicates the hrtimer logic,
it seems that we might as well have a per-alarmtimer
hrtimer, and avoid the extra complextity of trying to
multiplex many alarmtimers off of one hrtimer.
Thus this patch moves the hrtimer to the alarm structure

If suspend is rejected due to an imminent alarm, hold a wakeup source

If setting the alarm incurs an -ETIME for an alarm set in the past,

Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few
lines of code.
Rabik's issue is that the nr_uninterruptible migration code is wrong in
that he sees artifacts due to this (Rabik please do expand in more
detail).
Paul's issue is that this code as it stands relies on us using
stop_machine() for unplug, we all would like to remove this assumption
so that eventually we can remove this stop_machine() usage altogether.
The only reason we'd have to migrate nr_uninterruptible is so that we
could use for_each_online_cpu() loops in favour of
for_each_possible_cpu() loops, however since nr_uninterruptible() is the
only such loop and its using possible lets not bother at all.
The problem Rabik sees is (probably) caused by the fact that by
migrating nr_uninterruptible we screw rq->calc_load_active for both rqs
involved.
So don't bother with fancy migration schemes (meaning we now have to
keep using for_each_possible_cpu()) and instead fold any nr_active delta
after we migrate all tasks away to make sure we don't have any skewed
nr_active accounting.

TINY_RCU's rcu_idle_enter_common() invokes rcu_sched_qs() in order
to inform the RCU core of the quiescent state implied by idle entry.
Of course, idle is also an extended quiescent state, so that the call
to rcu_sched_qs() speeds up RCU's invoking of any callbacks that might
be queued. This speed-up is important when entering into dyntick-idle
mode -- if there are no further scheduling-clock interrupts, the callbacks
might never be invoked, which could result in a system hang.
However, processing callbacks does event tracing, which in turn
implies RCU read-side critical sections, which are illegal in extended
quiescent states. This patch therefore moves the call to rcu_sched_qs()
so that it precedes the point at which we inform lockdep that RCU has
entered an extended quiescent state.

The can_stop_idle_tick() function complains if a softirq vector is
raised too late in the idle-entry process, presumably in order to
prevent dangling softirq invocations from being delayed across the
full idle period, which might be indefinitely long -- and if softirq
was asserted any later than the call to this function, such a delay
might well happen.
However, RCU needs to be able to use softirq to stop idle entry in
order to be able to drain RCU callbacks from the current CPU, which in
turn enables faster entry into dyntick-idle mode, which in turn reduces
power consumption. Because RCU takes this action at a well-defined
point in the idle-entry path, it is safe for RCU to take this approach.
This commit therefore silences the error message that is sometimes
produced when the going-idle CPU suddenly finds that it has an RCU_SOFTIRQ
to process. The error message will continue to be issued for other
softirq vectors.

The rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() moves all tasks queued on a given leaf
rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node, which is done when the last CPU
corresponding the the leaf rcu_node structure goes offline. Now that
RCU-preempt's synchronize_rcu_expedited() implementation blocks CPU-hotplug
operations during the initialization of each rcu_node structure's
->boost_tasks pointer, rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() can do a better job
of setting the root rcu_node's ->boost_tasks pointer.
The key point is that rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() runs as part of the
CPU-hotplug process, so that a concurrent synchronize_rcu_expedited()
is guaranteed to either have not started on the one hand (in which case
there is no boosting on behalf of the expedited grace period) or to be
completely initialized on the other (in which case, in the absence of
other priority boosting, all ->boost_tasks pointers will be initialized).
Therefore, if rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() finds that the ->boost_tasks
pointer is equal to the ->exp_tasks pointer, it can be sure that it is
correctly placed.
In the case where there was boosting ongoing at the time that the
synchronize_rcu_expedited() function started, different nodes might start
boosting the tasks blocking the expedited grace period at different times.
In this mixed case, the root node will either be boosting tasks for
the expedited grace period already, or it will start as soon as it gets
done boosting for the normal grace period -- but in this latter case,
the root node's tasks needed to be boosted in any case.
This commit therefore adds a check of the ->boost_tasks pointer against
the ->exp_tasks pointer to the list that prevents updating ->boost_tasks.

Many rcutorture runs include CPU-hotplug operations in their stress
testing. This commit accumulates statistics on the durations of these
operations in deference to the recent concern about the overhead and
latency of these operations.

A number of new features have been added to rcutorture over the years, but
the defaults have not been updated to include them. This commit therefore
turns on a couple of them that have proven helpful and trustworthy, namely
periodic progress reports and testing of NO_HZ.

Currently, rcu_init_geometry() only reshapes RCU's combining trees
if the leaf fanout is changed at boot time. This means that by
default, kernels compiled with (say) NR_CPUS=4096 will keep oversized
data structures, even when running on systems with (say) four CPUs.
This commit therefore checks to see if the maximum number of CPUs on
the actual running system (nr_cpu_ids) differs from NR_CPUS, and if so
reshapes the combining trees accordingly.

If CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT=y, if there are not enough CPUs (according
to nr_cpu_ids) to require more than a single rcu_node structure, but if
NR_CPUS is larger than would fit into a single rcu_node structure, then
the current rcu_init_levelspread() code is subject to integer overflow
in the eight-bit ->levelspread[] array in the rcu_state structure.
In this case, the solution is -not- to increase the size of the
elements in this array because the values in that array should be
constrained to the number of bits in an unsigned long. Instead, this
commit replaces NR_CPUS with nr_cpu_ids in the rcu_init_levelspread()
function's initialization of the cprv local variable. This results in
all of the arithmetic being consistently based off of the nr_cpu_ids
value, thus avoiding the overflow, which was caused by the mixing of
nr_cpu_ids and NR_CPUS.

The current quiescent-state detection algorithm is needlessly
complex. It records the grace-period number corresponding to
the quiescent state at the time of the quiescent state, which
works, but it seems better to simply erase any record of previous
quiescent states at the time that the CPU notices the new grace
period. This has the further advantage of removing another piece
of RCU for which lockless reasoning is required.
Therefore, this commit makes this change.

The synchronize_rcu_expedited() function disables interrupts across a
scan of all leaf rcu_node structures, which is not good for real-time
scheduling latency on large systems (hundreds or especially thousands
of CPUs). This commit therefore holds off CPU-hotplug operations using
get_online_cpus(), and removes the prior acquisiion of the ->onofflock
(which required disabling interrupts).

In the C language, signed overflow is undefined. It is true that
twos-complement arithmetic normally comes to the rescue, but if the
compiler can subvert this any time it has any information about the values
being compared. For example, given "if (a - b > 0)", if the compiler
has enough information to realize that (for example) the value of "a"
is positive and that of "b" is negative, the compiler is within its
rights to optimize to a simple "if (1)", which might not be what you want.
This commit therefore converts synchronize_rcu_expedited()'s work-done
detection counter from signed to unsigned.

Now that the rcu_node structures' ->completed fields are unconditionally
assigned at grace-period cleanup time, they should already have the
correct value for the new grace period at grace-period initialization
time. This commit therefore inserts a WARN_ON_ONCE() to verify this
invariant.
