Nils Carlson bbead2104e edac: i5100 add 6 ranks per channel
Add support for 6 ranks per channel to the i5100 chipset.  I have tested
the patch as far as possible with correctible errors and things appear
good.  The DIMM mapping is correct for our board, but boards may differ.

Nils Carlson 295439f2a3 edac: i5100 add scrubbing
Addscrubbing to the i5100 chipset.  The i5100 chipset only supports one
scrubbing rate, which is not constant but dependent on memory load.  The
rate returned by this driver is an estimate based on some experimentation,
but is substantially closer to the truth than the speed supplied in the
documentation.

Also, scrubbing is done once, and then a done-bit is set.  This means that
to accomplish continuous scrubbing a re-enabling mechanism must be used.
I have created the simplest possible such mechanism in the form of a
work-queue which will check every five minutes.  This interval is quite
arbitrary but should be sufficient for all sizes of system memory.

Avoid calling kfree() under pidmap spinlock, calling it afterwards.

Normally kfree() is fast, but sometimes it can be slow, so avoid

We have HARD_MSGMAX lower on 64bit than on 32bit, since usually 64bit

Manfred Spraul d987f8b213 ipc/sem.c: optimize single sops when semval is zero
If multiple simple decrements on the same semaphore are pending, then the
current code scans all decrement operations, even if the semaphore value
is already 0.

The patch optimizes that: if the semaphore value is 0, then there is no
need to scan the q->alter entries.

Note that this is a common case: It happens if 100 decrements by one are
pending and now an increment by one increases the semaphore value from 0
to 1.  Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned.  With the patch,
only one entry is scanned, then woken up.  Then the new rule triggers and
the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks.

With this patch, single sop increment/decrement by 1 are now O(1).
(same as with Nick's patch)

Manfred Spraul 636c6be823 ipc/sem.c: optimize single semop operations
sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple
semaphores.  Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are
supported.

The patch optimizes single semaphore operation calls that affect only one
semaphore: It's not necessary to scan all pending operations, it is
sufficient to scan the per-semaphore list.

The idea is from Nick Piggin version of an ipc sem improvement, the
implementation is different: The code tries to keep as much common code as
possible.

As the result, the patch is simpler, but optimizes fewer cases.

Manfred Spraul b97e820fff ipc/sem.c: add a per-semaphore pending list
Based on Nick's findings:

sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple
semaphores.  Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are
supported.

The patch is the first step for optimizing simple, single semaphore
operations: In addition to the global list of all pending operations, a
2nd, per-semaphore list with the simple operations is added.

Note: this patch does not make sense by itself, the new list is used
nowhere.

Manfred Spraul b6e90822e7 ipc/sem.c: optimize if semops fail
Reduce the amount of scanning of the list of pending semaphore operations:
If try_atomic_semop failed, then no changes were applied.  Thus no need to
restart.

Additionally, this patch correct an incorrect comment: It's possible to
wait for arbitrary semaphore values (do a dec by <x>, wait-for-zero, inc
by <x> in one atomic operation)

Both changes are from Nick Piggin, the patch is the result of a different
split of the individual changes.

Nick Piggin d4212093dc ipc/sem.c: sem preempt improve
The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock
involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock".

It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is
actually the case.  However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the
sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would
become buggy.  So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels.

Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if
wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock.
Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there
is still time wasted spinning.

Nick Piggin bf17bb7177 ipc/sem.c: sem optimise undo list search
Around a month ago, there was some discussion about an improvement of the
sysv sem algorithm: Most (at least: some important) users only use simple
semaphore operations, therefore it's worthwile to optimize this use case.

This patch:

Move last looked up sem_undo struct to the head of the task's undo list.
Attempt to move common entries to the front of the list so search time is
reduced.  This reduces lookup_undo on oprofile of problematic SAP workload
by 30% (see patch 4 for a description of SAP workload).

Serge E. Hallyn 7d6feeb287 ipc ns: fix memory leak (idr)
We have apparently had a memory leak since
7ca7e564e0 "ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in
2007.  The idr of which 3 exist for each ipc namespace is never freed.

This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed.  I don't believe any
idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore be delayed until after
this idr_destroy()), so the patch should be safe.  Some quick testing
showed no harm, and the memory leak fixed.

Caught by kmemleak.

Oleg Nesterov dd34200adc signals: send_signal: use si_fromuser() to detect from_ancestor_ns
Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser().  From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO
triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check.

This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal)
behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the
cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs to the
sub-namespace.

This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and
kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace with
"priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them correctly,
including disassociate_ctty(on_exit).

Except: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/*.c incorrectly use
send_sig(priv => 0).  But his is minor and should be fixed anyway.

Oleg Nesterov 614c517d7c signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should be considered as SI_FROMUSER()
No changes in compiled code. The patch adds the new helper, si_fromuser()
and changes check_kill_permission() to use this helper.

The real effect of this patch is that from now we "officially" consider
SEND_SIG_NOINFO signal as "from user-space" signals. This is already true
if we look at the code which uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO, except __send_signal()
has another opinion - see the next patch.

The naming of these special SEND_SIG_XXX siginfo's is really bad
imho.  From __send_signal()'s pov they mean

	SEND_SIG_NOINFO		from user
	SEND_SIG_PRIV		from kernel
	SEND_SIG_FORCED		no info

Oleg Nesterov d519650373 ptrace: x86: change syscall_trace_leave() to rely on tracehook when stepping
Suggested by Roland.

Unlike powepc, x86 always calls tracehook_report_syscall_exit(step) with
step = 0, and sends the trap by hand.

This results in unnecessary SIGTRAP when PTRACE_SINGLESTEP follows the
syscall-exit stop.

Change syscall_trace_leave() to pass the correct "step" argument to
tracehook and remove the send_sigtrap() logic.

Oleg Nesterov 2f0edac555 ptrace: change tracehook_report_syscall_exit() to handle stepping
Suggested by Roland.

Change tracehook_report_syscall_exit() to look at step flag and send the
trap signal if needed.

This change affects ia64, microblaze, parisc, powerpc, sh.  They pass
nonzero "step" argument to tracehook but since it was ignored the tracee
reports via ptrace_notify(), this is not right and not consistent.

	- PTRACE_SETSIGINFO doesn't work

	- if the tracer resumes the tracee with signr != 0 the new signal
	  is generated rather than delivering it

	- If PT_TRACESYSGOOD is set the tracee reports the wrong exit_code

I don't have a powerpc machine, but I think this test-case should see the
difference:

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>
	#include <stdio.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		if (!(pid = fork())) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) == 0);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);

			getppid();

			return 0;
		}

		assert(pid == wait(&status));
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD) == 0);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(pid == wait(&status));

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(pid == wait(&status));

		if (status == 0x57F)
			return 0;

		printf("kernel bug: status=%X shouldn't have 0x80\n", status);

Daisuke Nishimura 9ab322caa3 memcg: remove memcg_tasklist
memcg_tasklist was introduced at commit 7f4d454d(memcg: avoid deadlock
caused by race between oom and cpuset_attach) instead of cgroup_mutex to
fix a deadlock problem.  The cgroup_mutex, which was removed by the
commit, in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() was originally introduced at commit
c7ba5c9e (Memory controller: OOM handling).

IIUC, the intention of this cgroup_mutex was to prevent task move during
select_bad_process() so that situations like below can be avoided.

  Assume cgroup "foo" has exceeded its limit and is about to trigger oom.
  1. Process A, which has been in cgroup "baa" and uses large memory, is just
     moved to cgroup "foo". Process A can be the candidates for being killed.
  2. Process B, which has been in cgroup "foo" and uses large memory, is just
     moved from cgroup "foo". Process B can be excluded from the candidates for
     being killed.

But these race window exists anyway even if we hold a lock, because
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() decides wether it should trigger oom or not
outside of the lock.  So the original cgroup_mutex in
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and thus current memcg_tasklist has no use.  And
IMHO, those races are not so critical for users.

This patch removes it and make codes simpler.

Daisuke Nishimura d31f56dbf8 memcg: avoid oom-killing innocent task in case of use_hierarchy
task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check
whether a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit,
checks "curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs
to).

But this check return true(it's false positive) when:

	<some path>/aa		use_hierarchy == 0	<- hitting limit
	  <some path>/aa/00	use_hierarchy == 1	<- the task belongs to

This leads to killing an innocent task in aa/00.  This patch is a fix for
this bug.  And this patch also fixes the arg for
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info().  We should print information of mem_cgroup
which the task being killed, not current, belongs to.

Daisuke Nishimura 57f9fd7d25 memcg: cleanup mem_cgroup_move_parent()
mem_cgroup_move_parent() calls try_charge first and cancel_charge on
failure.  IMHO, charge/uncharge(especially charge) is high cost operation,
so we should avoid it as far as possible.

This patch tries to delay try_charge in mem_cgroup_move_parent() by
re-ordering checks it does.

And this patch renames mem_cgroup_move_account() to
__mem_cgroup_move_account(), changes the return value of
__mem_cgroup_move_account() from int to void, and adds a new
wrapper(mem_cgroup_move_account()), which checks whether a @pc is valid
for moving account and calls __mem_cgroup_move_account().

This patch removes the last caller of trylock_page_cgroup(), so removes
its definition too.

But memcg doesn't. fix it.
Note:
  page_is_file_cache() just checks SwapBacked or not.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki cdec2e4265 memcg: coalesce charging via percpu storage
This is a patch for coalescing access to res_counter at charging by percpu
caching.  At charge, memcg charges 64pages and remember it in percpu
cache.  Because it's cache, drain/flush if necessary.

This version uses public percpu area.
 2 benefits for using public percpu area.
 1. Sum of stocked charge in the system is limited to # of cpus
    not to the number of memcg. This shows better synchonization.
 2. drain code for flush/cpuhotplug is very easy (and quick)

The most important point of this patch is that we never touch res_counter
in fast path. The res_counter is system-wide shared counter which is modified
very frequently. We shouldn't touch it as far as we can for avoiding
false sharing.

On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.

[without memcg config]
  40156968  page-faults              #      0.085 M/sec   ( +-   0.046% )

  - removed CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 569b846df5 memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate
In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck.  One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.

Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
	- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
	- uncharge is done by
		- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
		- one by one via vmscan/paging.

It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.

This patch is a for coalescing uncharge.  For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task.  A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information.  We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).

The degree of coalescing depends on callers
  - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
  - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.

On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.

[without memcg config]
  40156968  page-faults              #      0.085 M/sec   ( +-   0.046% )
  27.67 cache-miss/faults
[root cgroup]
  36659599  page-faults              #      0.077 M/sec   ( +-   0.247% )
  31.58 miss/faults
[in a child cgroup]
  18444157  page-faults              #      0.039 M/sec   ( +-   0.133% )
  69.96 miss/faults
[child with this patch]
  27133719  page-faults              #      0.057 M/sec   ( +-   0.155% )
  47.16 miss/faults

We can see some amounts of improvement.
(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch)
Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.

Changelog(since 2009/10/02):
 - renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes)
 - some clean up and commentary/description updates.
 - added initialize code to copy_process(). (possible bug fix)

Changelog(old):
 - fixed !CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP case.
 - rebased onto the latest mmotm + softlimit fix patches.
 - unified patch for callers
 - added commetns.
 - make ->do_batch as bool.
 - removed css_get() at el. We don't need it.

A memory cgroup has a memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes file.  It shows the sum
of the usage of pages and swapents in the cgroup.  Presently the root
cgroup's memsw.usage_in_bytes shows the wrong value - the number of
swapents are not added.

So take MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT into account.

Jan Kara 48bde86df0 ext2: report metadata errors during fsync
When an IO error happens while writing metadata buffers, we should better
report it and call ext2_error since the filesystem is probably no longer
consistent.  Sometimes such IO errors happen while flushing thread does
background writeback, the buffer gets later evicted from memory, and thus
the only trace of the error remains as AS_EIO bit set in blockdevice's
mapping.  So we check this bit in ext2_fsync and report the error although
we cannot be really sure which buffer we failed to write.
