git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method. This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to be kept on regressions. For that reason the new load average is only limited to group scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and speed up things a bit.

2012-11-19vtime: Consolidate a bit the ctx switch codeFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+2
On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few arch housekeeping. Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is a special case because pending user and system time accounting there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.

2012-11-13tracing,x86: Add a TSC trace_clockDavid Sharp1-0/+1
In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace, add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously interlaced. Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large timestamp values. v2: Move arch-specific bits out of generic code. v3: Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups v7: Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

2012-11-01sk-filter: Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)Pavel Emelyanov1-0/+1
The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to save full state of a socket. There are two issues with getting filter back. First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question is interconvertible. Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k). Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k) with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1. The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be large enough for the sock_fprog array. changes since v1: * Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers * Added decode of vlan-tag codes Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-10-18cpuidle/powerpc: Fix smt_snooze_delay functionality.Deepthi Dharwar1-2/+2
smt_snooze_delay was designed to delay idle loop's nap entry in the native idle code before it got ported over to use as part of the cpuidle framework. A -ve value assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state. - https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html This particular functionality can be achieved currently by echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to the smt_snooze_delay variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util. This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay variable is set to -ve value.

2012-10-09mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering poolWill Deacon1-0/+4
The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS) rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into userspace. This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages, since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the pool. This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page is freed into the pool.

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts.

2012-10-02compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementationCatalin Marinas2-2/+3
This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support. The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile() directly and avoids set_fs(). The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion. compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system. On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: David S.

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

2012-09-18powerpc/eeh: Fix crash on converting OF node to edevGavin Shan1-0/+8
The kernel crash was reported by Alexy. He was testing some feature with private kernel, in which Alexy added some code in pci_pm_reset() to read the CSR after writting it. The bug could be reproduced on Fiber Channel card (Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Saturn-X: LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 03)) by the following commands. # echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0004:01/0004:01:00.0/reset # rmmod lpfc # modprobe lpfc The history behind the test case is that those additional config space reading operations in pci_pm_reset() would cause EEH error, but we didn't detect EEH error until "modprobe lpfc". For the case, all the PCI devices on PCI bus (0004:01) were removed and added after PE reset. Then the EEH devices would be figured out again based on the OF nodes. Unfortunately, there were some child OF nodes under PCI device (0004:01:00.0), but they didn't have attached PCI_DN since they're invisible from PCI domain. However, we were still trying to convert OF node to EEH device without checking on the attached PCI_DN. Eventually, it caused the kernel crash as follows: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000030 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000004d888 cpu 0x0: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c000000fc797b950] pc: c00000000004d888: .eeh_add_device_tree_early+0x78/0x140 lr: c00000000004d880: .eeh_add_device_tree_early+0x70/0x140 sp: c000000fc797bbd0 msr: 8000000000009032 dar: 30 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc000000fc78d9f70 paca = 0xc00000000edb0000 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x00 pid = 2951, comm = eehd enter ? for help [c000000fc797bc50] c00000000004d848 .eeh_add_device_tree_early+0x38/0x140 [c000000fc797bcd0] c00000000004d848 .eeh_add_device_tree_early+0x38/0x140 [c000000fc797bd50] c000000000051b54 .pcibios_add_pci_devices+0x34/0x190 [c000000fc797bde0] c00000000004fb10 .eeh_reset_device+0x100/0x160 [c000000fc797be70] c0000000000502dc .eeh_handle_event+0x19c/0x300 [c000000fc797bf00] c000000000050570 .eeh_event_handler+0x130/0x1a0 [c000000fc797bf90] c000000000020138 .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70 The patch changes of_node_to_eeh_dev() and just returns NULL if the passed OF node doesn't have attached PCI_DN.
