2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Allow arch specific syscall symbol matchingIan Munsie
Some architectures have unusual symbol names and the generic code to match the symbol name with the function name for the syscall metadata will fail. For example, symbols on PPC64 start with a period and the generic code will fail to match them. This patch moves the match logic out into a separate function which an arch can override by defining ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in asm/ftrace.h and implementing arch_syscall_match_sym_name.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weakIan Munsie
Some architectures use non-trivial system call tables and will not work with the generic arch_syscall_addr code. For example, PowerPC64 uses a table of twin long longs. This patch makes the generic arch_syscall_addr weak to allow architectures with non-trivial system call tables to override it.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Convert redundant syscall_nr checks into WARN_ONIan Munsie
With the ftrace events now checking if the syscall_nr is valid upon initialisation it should no longer be possible to register or unregister a syscall event without a valid syscall_nr since they should not be created. This adds a WARN_ON_ONCE in the register and unregister functions to locate potential regressions in the future.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Don't add events for unmapped syscallsIan Munsie
FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as expected. This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall. This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1. If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

Calling local_bh_enable() will want to actually start processing softirqs, which isn't a good idea since this can get called with IRQs disabled. Cure this by using _local_bh_enable() which doesn't start processing softirqs, and use raw_local_irq_save() to avoid any softirqs from happening without letting lockdep think IRQs are in fact disabled.

2011-02-03tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer arraySteven Rostedt
Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall data is processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up. Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

2011-02-03tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer arrayMathieu Desnoyers
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

2011-01-31watchdog: Fix broken nowatchdog logicMarcin Slusarz
Passing nowatchdog to kernel disables 2 things: creation of watchdog threads AND initialization of percpu watchdog_hrtimer. As hrtimers are initialized only at boot it's not possible to enable watchdog later - for me all watchdog threads started to eat 100% of CPU time, but they could just crash. Additionally, even if these threads would start properly, watchdog_disable_all_cpus was guarded by no_watchdog check, so you couldn't disable watchdog. To fix this, remove no_watchdog variable and use already existing watchdog_enabled variable.

Since updates are against an entity's queuing cfs_rq it's not possible to enter update_cfs_{shares,load} with a NULL cfs_rq. (Indeed, update_cfs_load would crash prior to the check if we did anyway since we load is examined during the initializers). Also, in the update_cfs_load case there's no point in maintaining averages for rq->cfs_rq since we don't perform shares distribution at that level -- NULL check is replaced accordingly.

2011-01-24sched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bugYong Zhang
Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems. It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code, and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it more prominently. When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares() does nothing on UP. So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled, but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

2011-01-24module: show version information for built-in modules in sysfsDmitry Torokhov
Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if built-in, are completely invisible from userspace. This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

Lockdep spotted: loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock: (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7 but task is already holding lock: (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}: -> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}: -> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}: -> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}: But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork (task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those used by tasks.

2011-01-20kernel/smp.c: consolidate writes in smp_call_function_interrupt()Milton Miller
We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure. However, this implies getting write access to the call function data before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing both writes with one cache line bounce. On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms. I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the information needed.

2011-01-20kernel/smp.c: fix smp_call_function_many() SMP raceAnton Blanchard
I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt: if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask)) continue; data->csd.func(data->csd.info); refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs); WARN_ON(refs < 0); <------------------------- We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be? It turns out commit 54fdade1c3332391948ec43530c02c4794a38172 ("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a rather complicated race. The problem comes about because: - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue without any locking. - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many. - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next smp_call_function_many. Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back, and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU C handles the calls: CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees data from CPU A on list smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees (stale) CPU A on list smp_call_function int clears last ref on A list_del_rcu, unlock smp_call_function reuses percpu *data A data->cpumask sees and clears bit in cpumask might be using old or new fn! decrements refs below 0 set data->refs (too late!) The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner is in the process of initialising it. The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC box (having 128 threads does help :) #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> #define ITERATIONS 100 static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy) { } static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy) { int i; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1); printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id()); } static struct work_struct work[NR_CPUS]; static int __init testcase_init(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis); schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]); } return 0; } static void __exit testcase_exit(void) { } module_init(testcase_init) module_exit(testcase_exit) MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard"); I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and ->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then ->refs _again_.

2011-01-20smp: Allow on_each_cpu() to be called while early_boot_irqs_disabled status ↵Tejun Heo
to init/main.c percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in turn may call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes. The function of on_each_cpu() can be done safely while IRQ is disabled during early boot but it assumed that the function is always called with local IRQ enabled which ended up enabling local IRQ prematurely during boot and triggering a couple of warnings. This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many() such on_each_cpu() can be used safely while early_boot_irqs_disabled is set.

2011-01-20lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.cTejun Heo
During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require communications with other processors, are allowed. lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks. As other subsystems need this information too, move it to init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it, toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true indicates the exceptional condition.

2011-01-19hrtimers: Notify hrtimer users of switches to NOHZ modeStephen Boyd
When NOHZ=y and high res timers are disabled (via cmdline or Kconfig) tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() will notify the user about switching into NOHZ mode. Nothing is printed for the case where HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. Fix this for the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y case by duplicating the printk from the low res NOHZ path in the high res NOHZ path. This confused me since I was thinking 'dmesg | grep -i NOHZ' would tell me if NOHZ was enabled, but if I have hrtimers there is nothing.

2011-01-19perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() raceOleg Nesterov
find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task(). If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the necessary put_ctx(). find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task has already done the last schedule(). Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[] under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex. Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but with or without this change find_get_context() can race with setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference() looks better.

By not notifying the controller of the on-exit move back to init_css_set, we fail to move the task out of the previous cgroup's cfs_rq. This leads to an opportunity for a cgroup-destroy to come in and free the cgroup (there are no active tasks left in it after all) to which the not-quite dead task is still enqueued.
