2010-12-23ring_buffer: Off-by-one and duplicate events in ring_buffer_read_pageDavid Sharp1-1/+8
Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of ring_buffer_read_page. The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one. "len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page. "size" is the size of the next event (or two events). If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event. size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time- extends are kept together with the event after it. However, rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop condition.

2010-12-22taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment issues on ia64Jeff Mahoney1-13/+44
The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4 bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type. Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems") previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field. This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change, since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it needs to protect part of the address space from allocation. Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree, but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of, all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the correct spot in the resource tree.

2010-12-16PM / Hibernate: Restore old swap signature to avoid user space breakageRafael J. Wysocki1-1/+1
Commit 3624eb0 (PM / Hibernate: Modify signature used to mark swap) attempted to modify hibernate signature used to mark swap partitions containing hibernation images, so that old kernels don't try to handle compressed images. However, this change broke resume from hibernation on Fedora 14 that apparently doesn't pass the resume= argument to the kernel and tries to trigger resume from early user space. This doesn't work, because the signature is now different, so the old signature has to be restored to avoid the problem. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22732 .

2010-12-16sched: Fix the irqtime code for 32bitPeter Zijlstra1-6/+45
Since the irqtime accounting is using non-atomic u64 and can be read from remote cpus (writes are strictly cpu local, reads are not) we have to deal with observing partial updates. When we do observe partial updates the clock movement (in particular, ->clock_task movement) will go funny (in either direction), a subsequent clock update (observing the full update) will make it go funny in the oposite direction. Since we rely on these clocks to be strictly monotonic we cannot suffer backwards motion. One possible solution would be to simply ignore all backwards deltas, but that will lead to accounting artefacts, most notable: clock_task + irq_time != clock, this inaccuracy would end up in user visible stats. Therefore serialize the reads using a seqcount.

Running the annotate branch profiler on three boxes, including my main box that runs firefox, evolution, xchat, and is part of the distcc farm, showed this with the likelys in the workqueue code: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 96 996253 99 wq_worker_sleeping workqueue.c 703 96 996247 99 wq_worker_waking_up workqueue.c 677 The likely()s in this case were assuming that WORKER_NOT_RUNNING will most likely be false. But this is not the case. The reason is (and shown by adding trace_printks and testing it) that most of the time WORKER_PREP is set. In worker_thread() we have: worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP); [ do work stuff ] worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP, false); (that 'false' means not to wake up an idle worker) The wq_worker_sleeping() is called from schedule when a worker thread is putting itself to sleep. Which happens most of the time outside of that [ do work stuff ]. The wq_worker_waking_up is called by the wakeup worker code, which is also callod outside that [ do work stuff ]. Thus, the likely and unlikely used by those two functions are actually backwards. Remove the annotation and let gcc figure it out.

Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this solves a problem with kexec where the new kernel doesn't expect running counters (rightly so). It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not properly structured to deal with new state. As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last position in the list.

2010-12-08nohz: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() vs cpu hotplugHeiko Carstens1-0/+6
This fixes a bug as seen on 2.6.32 based kernels where timers got enqueued on offline cpus. If a cpu goes offline it might still have pending timers. These will be migrated during CPU_DEAD handling after the cpu is offline. However while the cpu is going offline it will schedule the idle task which will then call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). That function in turn will call get_next_timer_intterupt() to figure out if the tick of the cpu can be stopped or not. If it turns out that the next tick is just one jiffy off (delta_jiffies == 1) tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() incorrectly assumes that the tick should not stop and takes an early exit and thus it won't update the load balancer cpu. Just afterwards the cpu will be killed and the load balancer cpu could be the offline cpu. On 2.6.32 based kernel get_nohz_load_balancer() gets called to decide on which cpu a timer should be enqueued (see __mod_timer()). Which leads to the possibility that timers get enqueued on an offline cpu. These will never expire and can cause a system hang. This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in case a cpu goes offline. The easiest and probably safest fix seems to be to let get_next_timer_interrupt() just lie and let it say there isn't any pending timer if the current cpu is offline. I also thought of moving migrate_[hr]timers() from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DYING, but seeing that there already have been fixes at least in the hrtimer code in this area I'm afraid that this could add new subtle bugs.

2010-12-08Sched: fix skip_clock_update optimizationMike Galbraith2-12/+15
idle_balance() drops/retakes rq->lock, leaving the previous task vulnerable to set_tsk_need_resched(). Clear it after we return from balancing instead, and in setup_thread_stack() as well, so no successfully descheduled or never scheduled task has it set. Need resched confused the skip_clock_update logic, which assumes that the next call to update_rq_clock() will come nearly immediately after being set. Make the optimization robust against the waking a sleeper before it sucessfully deschedules case by checking that the current task has not been dequeued before setting the flag, since it is that useless clock update we're trying to save, and clear unconditionally in schedule() proper instead of conditionally in put_prev_task().

2010-12-08sched: Cure more NO_HZ load average woesPeter Zijlstra2-12/+140
There's a long-running regression that proved difficult to fix and which is hitting certain people and is rather annoying in its effects. Damien reported that after 74f5187ac8 (sched: Cure load average vs NO_HZ woes) his load average is unnaturally high, he also noted that even with that patch reverted the load avgerage numbers are not correct. The problem is that the previous patch only solved half the NO_HZ problem, it addressed the part of going into NO_HZ mode, not of comming out of NO_HZ mode. This patch implements that missing half. When comming out of NO_HZ mode there are two important things to take care of: - Folding the pending idle delta into the global active count. - Correctly aging the averages for the idle-duration. So with this patch the NO_HZ interaction should be complete and behaviour between CONFIG_NO_HZ=[yn] should be equivalent. Furthermore, this patch slightly changes the load average computation by adding a rounding term to the fixed point multiplication.

2010-12-06PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swapRafael J. Wysocki3-13/+16
There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often. This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask. This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

2010-12-06PM / Hibernate: Use async I/O when reading compressed hibernation imageBojan Smojver1-15/+38
This is a fix for reading LZO compressed image using async I/O. Essentially, instead of having just one page into which we keep reading blocks from swap, we allocate enough of them to cover the largest compressed size and then let block I/O pick them all up. Once we have them all (and here we wait), we decompress them, as usual. Obviously, the very first block we still pick up synchronously, because we need to know the size of the lot before we pick up the rest. Also fixed the copyright line, which I've forgotten before.
