hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread context

2013-07-28T23:26:47Z

commit 5ec2481b7b47a4005bb446d176e5d0257400c77d upstream. smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context. But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support Xens resume mechanism. linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_* is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen change. Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context. Reported-and-tested-by: Artem Savkov Reported-by: Sasha Levin Cc: David Vrabel Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: H.

tracing: Fix irqs-off tag display in syscall tracing

commit 11034ae9c20f4057a6127fc965906417978e69b2 upstream. All syscall tracing irqs-off tags are wrong, the syscall enter entry doesn't disable irqs. [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 13/13 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.496766: sys_open(filename: 804e1a6, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.497008: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) sendmail-771 [000] d... 56115.827982: sys_open(filename: b770e6d1, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) The reason is syscall tracing doesn't record irq_flags into buffer.

perf: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() check in __perf_event_enable() for valid scenario

2013-07-28T23:25:48Z

commit 06f417968beac6e6b614e17b37d347aa6a6b1d30 upstream. The '!ctx->is_active' check has a valid scenario, so there's no need for the warning. The reason is that there's a time window between the 'ctx->is_active' check in the perf_event_enable() function and the __perf_event_enable() function having: - IRQs on - ctx->lock unlocked where the task could be killed and 'ctx' deactivated by perf_event_exit_task(), ending up with the warning below. So remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() check and add comments to explain it all.

perf: Clone child context from parent context pmu

2013-07-28T23:25:48Z

commit 734df5ab549ca44f40de0f07af1c8803856dfb18 upstream. Currently when the child context for inherited events is created, it's based on the pmu object of the first event of the parent context. This is wrong for the following scenario: - HW context having HW and SW event - HW event got removed (closed) - SW event stays in HW context as the only event and its pmu is used to clone the child context The issue starts when the cpu context object is touched based on the pmu context object (__get_cpu_context). In this case the HW context will work with SW cpu context ending up with following WARN below. Fixing this by using parent context pmu object to clone from child context.

tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracing

2013-07-28T23:25:47Z

commit f17a5194859a82afe4164e938b92035b86c55794 upstream. The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled. There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when interrupts are disabled or enabled. When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how it happened. During testing, this RCU lockdep dump appeared: [ 1257.829021] =============================== [ 1257.829021] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] [ 1257.829021] 3.10.0-rc1-test+ #171 Tainted: G W [ 1257.829021] ------------------------------- [ 1257.829021] /home/rostedt/work/git/linux-trace.git/include/linux/rcupdate.h:780 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!

The trace buffer was saved along with various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc. The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock() to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter). As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid. This fixes the RCU suspicious splat. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tick: Prevent uncontrolled switch to oneshot mode

2013-07-28T23:25:44Z

commit 1f73a9806bdd07a5106409bbcab3884078bd34fe upstream. When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without updating the state and the timer handler. CPU0 CPU1 per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode and switched to broadcast Switch to oneshot mode tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask, tick_broadcast_mask); broadcast device mode = oneshot Timer interrupt irq_enter() tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() dev->set_mode(ONESHOT); tick_handle_periodic() if (dev->mode == ONESHOT) dev->next_event += period; FAIL. We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened. We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode. So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode. This is a long standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.

genirq: Fix can_request_irq() for IRQs without an action

This causes pcibios_lookup_irq() to select only IRQs that already have an action with IRQF_SHARED set, or to fail if there are none. Change can_request_irq() to return 1 for IRQs that have no action (if the first two conditions are met).
