2012-11-08rcu: Remove old debugfs interfaces and also RCU flavor nameMichael Wang1-146/+44
This commit removes the old debugfs interfaces, so that the new directory-per-RCU-flavor versions remain. Because the RCU flavor is given by the directory name, there is no need to print it out, so remove the name from the printout.

2012-11-08rcu: Fundamental facility for 'CPU units sequence reading'Michael Wang1-0/+30
This patch add the fundamental facility used by the following patches, so we can implement the 'CPU units sequence reading' later. This helps us avoid losing data when there are too many CPUs and too small of a buffer, since this new approach allows userspace to read out the data one CPU at a time. Thus, if the buffer is not large enough, userspace will get whatever CPUs fit, and can then issue another read for the remainder of the data.

2012-11-08rcu: Create directory for each flavor of rcuMichael Wang1-0/+8
This patch will create subdirectory according to each flavor of rcu, the new structure will be: /debugfs/rcu/ -> rsp_0 -> rsp_1 -> ... So we can go to '/debugfs/rcu/rsp_0' and get the cpu info of rsp_0 there. The flavors of RCU are currently rcu_bh, rcu_preempt, and rcu_sched.

2012-11-08rcu: Instrument synchronize_rcu_expedited() for debugfs tracingPaul E. McKenney2-3/+24

2012-11-08rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() state to rcu_statePaul E. McKenney2-11/+12
Tracing (debugfs) of expedited RCU primitives is required, which in turn requires that the relevant data be located where the tracing code can find it, not in its current static global variables in kernel/rcutree.c. This commit therefore moves sync_sched_expedited_started and sync_sched_expedited_done to the rcu_state structure, as fields ->expedited_start and ->expedited_done, respectively.

2012-11-08rcu: Avoid counter wrap in synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney1-18/+44
There is a counter scheme similar to ticket locking that synchronize_sched_expedited() uses to service multiple concurrent callers with the same expedited grace period. Upon entry, a sync_sched_expedited_started variable is atomically incremented, and upon completion of a expedited grace period a separate sync_sched_expedited_done variable is atomically incremented. However, if a synchronize_sched_expedited() is delayed while in try_stop_cpus(), concurrent invocations will increment the sync_sched_expedited_started counter, which will eventually overflow. If the original synchronize_sched_expedited() resumes execution just as the counter overflows, a concurrent invocation could incorrectly conclude that an expedited grace period elapsed in zero time, which would be bad. One could rely on counter size to prevent this from happening in practice, but the goal is to formally validate this code, so it needs to be fixed anyway. This commit therefore checks the gap between the two counters before incrementing sync_sched_expedited_started, and if the gap is too large, does a normal grace period instead. Overflow is thus only possible if there are more than about 3.5 billion threads on 32-bit systems, which can be excluded until such time as task_struct fits into a single byte and 4G/4G patches are accepted into mainline. It is also easy to encode this limitation into mechanical theorem provers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-11-08rcu: Rename ->onofflock to ->orphan_lockPaul E. McKenney3-11/+11
The ->onofflock field in the rcu_state structure at one time synchronized CPU-hotplug operations for RCU. However, its scope has decreased over time so that it now only protects the lists of orphaned RCU callbacks. This commit therefore renames it to ->orphan_lock to reflect its current use.

2012-10-23rcu: Fix comment about _rcu_barrier()/orphanage exclusionPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
In the old days, _rcu_barrier() acquired ->onofflock to exclude rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage(), which allowed the latter to avoid memory barriers in callback handling. However, _rcu_barrier() recently started doing get_online_cpus() to lock out CPU-hotplug operations entirely, which means that the comment in rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() that talks about ->onofflock is now obsolete. This commit therefore fixes the comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-10-20arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly codeMarc Zyngier2-1/+7
An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this: ENTRY(func1) mov x0, xzr ENDPROC(func1) // fall through ENTRY(func2) mov x0, #1 ret ENDPROC(func2) Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another architecture doesn't look completely sane either. The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion of proper AArch64 NOPs.

2012-10-19MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the searchDavid Howells4-31/+28
Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp(). This works because at the end of the signature data there is the fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls immediately prior to the magic number. From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module data.

2012-10-19linux/coredump.h needs asm/siginfo.hRichard Weinberger1-0/+1
Commit 5ab1c309b344 ("coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and below, not merely signr") added siginfo_t to linux/coredump.h but forgot to include asm/siginfo.h. This breaks the build for UML/i386. (And any other arch where asm/siginfo.h is not magically preincluded...) In file included from arch/x86/um/elfcore.c:2:0: include/linux/coredump.h:15:25: error: unknown type name 'siginfo_t' make[1]: *** [arch/x86/um/elfcore.o] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Amerigo Wang <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: "Jonathan M.

2012-10-19remap_file_pages: correctly handle the case of a NULL vm_ops pointerLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
In commit 0b173bc4daa8 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR") we replaced the VM_CAN_NONLINEAR test with checking whether the mapping has a '->remap_pages()' vm operation, but there is no guarantee that there it even has a vm_ops pointer at all. Add the appropriate test for NULL vm_ops.

2012-10-19kbuild: Fix module signature generationLinus Torvalds1-2/+3
Rusty had clearly not actually tested his module signing changes that I (trustingly) applied as commit e2a666d52b48 ("kbuild: sign the modules at install time"). That commit had multiple bugs: - using "${#VARIABLE}" to get the number of characters in a shell variable may look clever, but it's locale-dependent: it returns the number of *characters*, not bytes. And we do need bytes. So don't use "${#..}" expansion, do the stupid "wc -c" thing instead (where "c" stands for "bytes", not "characters", despite the letter. - Rusty had confused "siglen" and "signerlen", and his conversion didn't set "signerlen" at all, and incorrectly set "siglen" to the size of the signer, not the size of the signature. End result: the modified sign-file script did create something that superficially *looked* like a signature, but didn't actually work at all, and would fail the signature check. Oops. Tssk, tssk, Rusty. But Rusty was definitely right that this whole thing should be rewritten in perl by somebody who has the perl-fu to do so. That is not me, though - I'm just doing an emergency fix for the shell script. Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-10-19xen: Fix annoying compile-time warningLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
Commit cb6b6df111e4 ("xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches.") added the xen_strict_xenbus_quirk() function with an old K&R-style declaration without proper typing, causing gcc to rightly complain: drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_xs.c:628:13: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes] because we really don't live in caves using stone-age tools any more, and the kernel has always used properly typed ANSI C function declarations. So if a function doesn't take arguments, we tell the compiler so explicitly by adding the proper "void" in the prototype. I'm sure there are tons of other examples of this kind of stuff in the tree, but this is the one that hits my workstation config, so.. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
