2008-11-12freezer_cg: disable writing freezer.state of root cgroupLi Zefan1-1/+10
With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable. I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

2008-11-12freezer_cg: remove task_lock from freezer_fork()Li Zefan1-2/+6
In theory the task can be moved to another cgroup and the freezer will be freed right after task_lock is dropped, so the lock results in zero protection. But in the case of freezer_fork() no lock is needed, since the task is not in tasklist yet so it won't be moved to another cgroup, so task->cgroups won't be changed or invalidated.

2008-11-11timers: handle HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED correctly from softirq contextGautham R Shenoy1-1/+16
Impact: fix incorrect locking triggered during hotplug-intense stress-tests While migrating the the CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED timers during a cpu-offline, we queue them on the cb_pending list, so that they won't go stale. Thus, when the callbacks of the timers run from the softirq context, they could run into potential deadlocks, since these callbacks assume that they're running with irq's disabled, thereby annoying lockdep!

2008-11-11fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure ->signal can't be freed ↵Oleg Nesterov2-0/+13
under rq->lock Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far. Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just check ->signal != NULL. Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock) before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK. Thanks to Ingo who nacked my previous buggy patch.

2008-11-10ring-buffer: prevent infinite looping on time stampingSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Impact: removal of unnecessary looping The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again. The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace. The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time, and cause an infinite loop. Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will produce a warning and disable the ring buffer. The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself). Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry. If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is still preserved in the buffer. With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2008-11-06cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anythingRusty Russell2-0/+48
Impact: introduce new APIs We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack. 1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies. (cpus_* -> cpumask_*) 2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and) 3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var) 4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code. 5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant), not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations in future. 6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask' definition eventually. 7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old cpumask for current thread and manipulating it. 8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except taking a cpumask pointer. Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition patches.

2008-11-06generic-ipi: fix the smp_mb() placementSuresh Siddha1-6/+12
smp_mb() is needed (to make the memory operations visible globally) before sending the ipi on the sender and the receiver (on Alpha atleast) needs smp_read_barrier_depends() in the handler before reading the call_single_queue list in a lock-free fashion. On x86, x2apic mode register accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. So the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes more critical in x2apic mode. Remove the unnecessary smp_mb() in csd_flag_wait(), as the presence of that smp_mb() doesn't mean anything on the sender, when the ipi receiver is not doing any thing special (like memory fence) after clearing the CSD_FLAG_WAIT.

2008-11-05sched: backward looking buddyPeter Zijlstra3-9/+30
Impact: improve/change/fix wakeup-buddy scheduling Currently we only have a forward looking buddy, that is, we prefer to schedule to the task we last woke up, under the presumption that its going to consume the data we just produced, and therefore will have cache hot benefits. This allows co-waking producer/consumer task pairs to run ahead of the pack for a little while, keeping their cache warm. Without this, we would interleave all pairs, utterly trashing the cache. This patch introduces a backward looking buddy, that is, suppose that in the above scenario, the consumer preempts the producer before it can go to sleep, we will therefore miss the wakeup from consumer to producer (its already running, after all), breaking the cycle and reverting to the cache-trashing interleaved schedule pattern. The backward buddy will try to schedule back to the task that woke us up in case the forward buddy is not available, under the assumption that the last task will be the one with the most cache hot task around barring current. This will basically allow a task to continue after it got preempted. In order to avoid starvation, we allow either buddy to get wakeup_gran ahead of the pack.

2008-11-03ftrace: use kretprobe trampoline name to test in outputSteven Rostedt1-18/+21
Impact: ia64+tracing build fix When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this "kprobe_trampoline" function. To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead. Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds. This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

2008-10-31ftrace: handle archs that do not support irqs_disabled_flagsSteven Rostedt2-10/+17
Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled. Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer. This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those same archs compile with tracing enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-10-30'kill sig -1' must only apply to caller's namespaceSukadev Bhattiprolu1-1/+2
Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148 As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1" check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's namespace.

2008-10-30kernel/profile: fix profile_init() section mismatchPaul Mundt1-1/+1
profile_init() calls in to alloc_bootmem() on early initialization. While alloc_bootmem() is __init, the reference itself is safe in that it is tucked below a !slab_is_available() check. So, flag profile_init() as __ref.

2008-10-29ftrace: fix trace_nop config selectSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in the ftrace infrastructure. The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has been solved by renaming the function tracer). This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING. This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define the FUNCTION_TRACER.

Some of the pages below the 1MB ISA addresses will be shared typically by both BIOS and system usable RAM. For example: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) x86info reads the low physical address using /dev/mem, which internally uses ioremap() for accessing non RAM pages. ioremap() of such low pages conflicts with multiple resource entities leading to the above warning. Change the iomem_map_sanity_check() to allow mapping a page spanning multiple resource entities (minimum granularity that one can map is a page anyhow).

2008-10-28ftrace: perform an initialization for ftrace to enable itFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+8
Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace. The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1 because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled. So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct, __register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook. This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize ftrace during the boot.
