2010-11-29rcu: priority boosting for TINY_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney5-53/+280
Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

2010-11-17rcu: move TINY_RCU from softirq to kthreadPaul E. McKenney5-26/+70
If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2010-10-07rcu: add priority-inversion testing to rcutorturePaul E. McKenney1-11/+259
Add an optional test to force long-term preemption of RCU read-side critical sections, controlled by new test_boost, test_boost_interval, and test_boost_duration module parameters. This is to be used to test RCU priority boosting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup, which is not removable.

But this is a chicken and egg problem. Setting the CPU's runqueue requires that the CPU's runqueue already be set. ;-) So insert an RCU read-side critical section to avoid the complaint.

Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock. Although use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables are being loaded without the services of a lock.

2010-10-05wait: using uninitialized member of wait queueEvgeny Kuznetsov1-0/+1
The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is used in bitwise operations. If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place. Incorrect flags might used later in code. Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into "init_wait". Signed-off-by: Evgeny Kuznetsov <EXT-Eugeny.Kuznetsov@nokia.com> [ The bit we care about does end up being initialized by both prepare_to_wait() and add_to_wait_queue(), so this doesn't seem to cause actual bugs, but is definitely the right thing to do -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-10-05modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption raceLinus Torvalds11-26/+14
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

2010-10-05xen: do not set xenstored_ready before xenbus_probe on hvmStefano Stabellini1-3/+6
Register_xenstore_notifier should guarantee that the caller gets notified even if xenstore is already up. Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for PV on HVM guests too. In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe(). This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes "xm shutdown" not to work properly.

2010-10-04ksm: fix bad user data when swappingHugh Dickins1-2/+4
Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping. Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to KSM swapping in 2.6.33. Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then - if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused. Fine, the dirty bit will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon. If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed; then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again. We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in KSM's write_protect_page(). Several days of testing on three machines confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL. It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can). For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap() already excluded KSM pages.

The notifiers may be called at any time, so the notifier_block cannot be in init memory. Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1592/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2010-10-04MIPS: Calculate VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS based on the length of vmlinux.binShmulik Ladkani1-1/+1
Fix VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS calculation to be based on the length of vmlinux.bin, the actual uncompressed kernel binary. Previously it was based on the length of KBUILD_IMAGE (the unstripped ELF vmlinux), which is bigger than vmlinux.bin. As a result, vmlinuz was loaded into a memory address higher then actually needed - a problem for small memory platforms.

2010-10-04MIPS: Alchemy: Resolve prom section mismatchesManuel Lauss1-3/+2
The function prom_init_cmdline() references the variable __initdata arcs_cmdline. The function prom_get_ethernet_addr() references the variable __initdata arcs_cmdline. Annotate prom_init_cmdline() as __init, unexport and annotate prom_get_ethernet_addr() since it's no longer called from within driver code.

Architectures need to set ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to the minimum DMA alignment (commit a6eb9fe105d5de0053b261148cee56c94b4720ca). Defining ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN doesn't work anymore.

2010-10-04MIPS: N32: Fix getdents64 syscall for n32Bernhard Walle1-1/+1
Commit 31c984a5acabea5d8c7224dc226453022be46f33 introduced a new syscall getdents64. However, in the syscall table, the new syscall still refers to the old getdents which doesn't work. The problem appeared with a system that uses the eglibc 2.12-r11187 (that utilizes that new syscall) is very confused. The fix has been tested with that eglibc version.

This only matters for ISA devices with a 24-bit DMA limit or for devices with a 32-bit DMA limit on systems with ZONE_DMA32 enabled. The latter currently only affects 32-bit PCI cards on Sibyte-based systems with more than 1GB RAM installed. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

_TIF_WORK_MASK false had _TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT set. If a thread's _TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is ever set this will lead to an endless loop on the way out from a syscall. Currently this is only a theoretic bug as init/Kconfig doesn't allow AUDIT_SYSCALL to be enabled for MIPS. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

This patch adds an config switch to determine if we need to build some workaround helper files. The staging driver octeon-ethernet references some symbols which are only built when PCI is enabled. The new config switch enables these symbols in bothe cases.
