2013-03-07clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timersMark Rutland
Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic. This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers, preventing this problem.

2013-03-07cputime: Dynamically scale cputime for full dynticks accountingFrederic Weisbecker
The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based solution. This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING, now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic off-case as well.

2013-03-07context_tracking: Restore preempted context state after preempt_schedule_irq()Frederic Weisbecker
From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task. But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted code on preempt_schedule_irq() return. As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with the wrong context tracking state. Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this kind of issue.

2013-03-07tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocatedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer now writes to what was the snapshot buffer. To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file. To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to do nothing and return success.

2013-03-07tracing: Add help of snapshot feature when snapshot is emptySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot feature. Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast "swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might fail under tight memory constraints. Here's what it looked like before: # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | Here's what it looks like now: # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is freed * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') Acked-by: Hiraku Toyooka <hiraku.toyooka.gu@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-03-07tick: Dynamically set broadcast irq affinityDaniel Lezcano
When a cpu goes to a deep idle state where its local timer is shutdown, it notifies the time frame work to use the broadcast timer instead. Unfortunately, the broadcast device could wake up any CPU, including an idle one which is not concerned by the wake up at all. So in the worst case an idle CPU will wake up to send an IPI to the CPU whose timer expired. Provide an opt-in feature CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ which tells the core that is should set the interrupt affinity of the broadcast interrupt to the cpu which has the earliest expiry time. This avoids unnecessary spurious wakeups and IPIs.

2013-03-05cgroup: avoid accessing modular cgroup subsys structure without lockingLi Zefan
subsys[i] is set to NULL in cgroup_unload_subsys() at modular unload, and that's protected by cgroup_mutex, and then the memory *subsys[i] resides will be freed. So this is unsafe without any locking: if (!ss || ss->module) ... v2: - add a comment for enum cgroup_subsys_id - simplify the comment in cgroup_exit() Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2013-03-04cgroup: no need to check css refs for release notificationLi Zefan
We no longer fail rmdir() when there're still css refs, so we don't need to check css refs in check_for_release(). This also voids a bug. cgroup_has_css_refs() accesses subsys[i] without cgroup_mutex, so it can race with cgroup_unload_subsys(). cgroup_has_css_refs() ... if (ss == NULL || ss->root != cgrp->root) if ss pointers to net_cls_subsys, and cls_cgroup module is unloaded right after the former check but before the latter, the memory that net_cls_subsys resides has become invalid.

2013-03-04cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() raceLi Zefan
rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate cgroup path using dentry->d_name. Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at rename(). v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array. v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it. - add cgroup_name() wrapper. v3: use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() in user-visible path. v2: make cgrp->name RCU safe.

2013-03-04workqueue: better define synchronization rule around rescuer->pool updatesLai Jiangshan
Rescuers visit different worker_pools to process work items from pools under pressure. Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change. While this doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty. With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool is unlocked. Move rescuer->pool inside pool->lock. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior difference. tj: Updated the description.

2013-03-02kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmdJason Wessel
The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases while using the kernel debug shell. If you try to define a new macro while the kernel debugger is active it will oops. The debug shell macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init() is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you actually activate the kernel debugger.

2013-03-02kdb: Remove the ll commandJason Wessel
Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with kmalloc used while in the kernel debugger context (which is not legal), and it turned up the fact that kdb ll command will oops the kernel. Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used. Instead of fixing it, it will be removed.

2013-03-02kdb_main: fix help printJason Wessel
The help command was chopping all the usage instructions such that they were not readable. Example: bta [D|R|S|T|C|Z|E|U|I| Backtrace all processes matching state flag per_cpu <sym> [<bytes>] [<c Display per_cpu variables Where as it should look like: bta [D|R|S|T|C|Z|E|U|I|M|A] Backtrace all processes matching state flag per_cpu <sym> [<bytes>] [<cpu>] Display per_cpu variables All that is needed is to check the how long the cmd_usage is and jump to the next line when appropriate.

2013-03-02kdb: Fix overlap in buffers with strcpyJason Wessel
Maxime reported that strcpy(s->usage, s->usage+1) has no definitive guarantee that it will work on all archs the same way when you have overlapping memory. The fix is simple for the kdb code because we still have the original string memory in the function scope, so we just have to use that as the argument instead.

2013-03-02kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdbMatt Klein

2013-03-02kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansionJohn Blackwood
When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table. When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in the kdb_register_repeat() routine. The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

2013-02-28irq: Don't re-enable interrupts at the end of irq_exitFrederic Weisbecker
Commit 74eed0163d0def3fce27228d9ccf3d36e207b286 "irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled" restore interrupts flags in the end of irq_exit() for archs that don't define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED. However always returning from irq_exit() with interrupts disabled should not be a problem for these archs. Prior to this commit this was already happening anytime we processed pending softirqs anyway.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
