perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow

2014-06-11T19:03:26Z

commit 14c63f17b1fde5a575a28e96547a22b451c71fb5 upstream. This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

Documentation: fix DOCBOOKS=... building

2014-06-11T19:03:22Z

commit e60cbeedc48d80689c249ab5dcc3c31ad0452dea upstream. Prior to commit 4266129964b8 ("[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory") it was possible to build only a single (or more) book(s) by calling, for example make htmldocs DOCBOOKS=80211.xml This now fails: cp: target `.../Documentation/DocBook//media_api' is not a directory Ignore errors from that copy to make this possible again.

Input: elantech - fix touchpad initialization on Gigabyte U2442

2014-06-07T20:25:36Z

commit 36189cc3cd57ab0f1cd75241f93fe01de928ac06 upstream. The hw_version 3 Elantech touchpad on the Gigabyte U2442 does not accept 0x0b as initialization value for r10, this stand-alone version of the driver: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 Uses 0x03 which does work, so this means not setting bit 3 of r10 which sets: "Enable Real H/W Resolution In Absolute mode" Which will result in half the x and y resolution we get with that bit set, so simply not setting it everywhere is not a solution. We've been unable to find a way to identify touchpads where setting the bit will fail, so this patch uses a dmi based blacklist for this. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61151 Reported-by: Philipp Wolfer Tested-by: Philipp Wolfer Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage

2014-02-13T21:48:02Z

commit 778c14affaf94a9e4953179d3e13a544ccce7707 upstream. A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.
