Tao Ma 2d3a8497f8 blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.
If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409  [001]   160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + =
8 [write_test]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
write_test-2417  [000]   226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 +=
 8 [write_test]

Thomas Gleixner 5cd10e7946 hrtimer: Update base[CLOCK_BOOTTIME].offset correctly
We calculate the current time of each clock base by adding an offset
to clock_monotonic. The offset for the clock bases is set in
retrigger_next_event() which is called when we switch a cpu to highres
mode or when the clock was set.

Add the missing update for clock boottime.

Thomas Gleixner 8d32a307e4 genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading
Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.

Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.

Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.

When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

Some test results on a Core2Duo machine:

Thomas Gleixner 3a142a0672 clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodic
When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the
broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went
unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working
around an hpet related BIOS wreckage.

Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

Thomas Gleixner b5faba21a6 genirq: Prepare the handling of shared oneshot interrupts
For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
when there are no more threads in flight.

Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
based solution would need to keep track of various things like
crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
over the place.

Stephane Eranian 3f7cce3c18 perf_events: Fix rcu and locking issues with cgroup support
This patches ensures that we do not end up calling
perf_cgroup_from_task() when there is no cgroup event.
This avoids potential RCU and locking issues.

The change in perf_cgroup_set_timestamp() ensures we
check against ctx->nr_cgroups. It also avoids calling
perf_clock() tiwce in a row. It also ensures we do need
to grab ctx->lock before calling the function.

We drop update_cgrp_time() from task_clock_event_read()
because it is not needed. This also avoids having to
deal with perf_cgroup_from_task().

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his help on this.

Peter Zijlstra 866ab43efd sched: Fix the group_imb logic
On a 2*6*2 machine something like:

 taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'

_should_ result in 9 busy CPUs, each running 1 task.

However it didn't quite work reliably, most of the time one cpu of the
second socket (6-11) would be idle and one cpu of the first socket
(0-5) would have two tasks on it.

The group_imb logic is supposed to deal with this and detect when a
particular group is imbalanced (like in our case, 0-2 are idle but 3-5
will have 4 tasks on it).

The detection phase needed a bit of a tweak as it was too weak and
required more than 2 avg weight tasks difference between idle and busy
cpus in the group which won't trigger for our test-case. So cure that
to be one or more avg task weight difference between cpus.

Once the detection phase worked, it was then defeated by the f_b_g()
tests trying to avoid ping-pongs. In particular, this_load >= max_load
triggered because the pulling cpu (the (first) idle cpu in on the
second socket, say 6) would find this_load to be 5 and max_load to be
4 (there'd be 5 tasks running on our socket and only 4 on the other
socket).

Yes, I really messed up there. First the variable ret should not have
been named differently to avoid similarity with retval. Second it
should have been declared in the do {} loop.

Rename it to res and move it into the do {} loop and vanish under a

John Stultz 70a08cca12 timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base
CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).

For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.

This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.

to introduce any new hrtimer bases, using new clockids, we have to skip
the cputimers (clockids 2,3) as well as other clockids that may not impelement
timers.

This patch adds a little bit of indirection between the clockid and
the base, so that we can extend the base by one when we add
a new clockid at number 7 or so.

Yinghai Lu ed4dea6e0e genirq: Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as search size in irq_alloc_descs()
The runtime expansion of nr_irqs does not take into account that
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() returns "start" + size in case the search
for an matching zero area fails. That results in a start value which
can be completely off and is not covered by the following
expand_nr_irqs() and possibly outside of the absolute limit. But we
use it without further checking.

Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as the limit for the bitmap search and expand
nr_irqs when the start bit is beyond nr_irqs. So start is always
pointing to the correct area in the bitmap. nr_irqs is just the limit
for irq enumerations, not the real limit for the irq space.

While rumaging through arch code I found that there are a few
workarounds which deal with the fact that the initial affinity setting
from request_irq() copies the mask into irq_data->affinity before the
chip code is called. In the normal path we unconditionally copy the
mask when the chip code returns 0.

Copy after the code is called and add a return code
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY for the chip functions, which prevents the
copy. That way we see the real mask when the chip function decided to
truncate it further as some arches do. IRQ_SET_MASK_OK is 0, which is
the current behaviour.

Thomas Gleixner e7bcecb7b1 genirq: Make nr_irqs runtime expandable
We face more and more the requirement to expand nr_irqs at
runtime. The reason are irq expanders which can not be detected in the
early boot stage. So we speculate nr_irqs to have enough room. Further
Xen needs extra irq numbers and we really want to avoid adding more
"detection" code into the early boot. There is no real good reason why
we need to limit nr_irqs at early boot.

Allow the allocation code to expand nr_irqs. We have already 8k extra
number space in the allocation bitmap, so lets use it.

Thomas Gleixner 6d83f94db9 genirq: Disable the SHIRQ_DEBUG call in request_threaded_irq for now
With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().

The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.

It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....

Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.

Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.

Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.

A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.

Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

Thomas Gleixner c1ee626428 genirq: Prevent access beyond allocated_irqs bitmap
Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out:

   I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using
   SPARSE_IRQ.  Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper
   limit for the number of IRQs.

   Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with
   IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core.

   In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine
   defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS".

   As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again
   causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be
   accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data.

The core code really misses a sanity check there.

This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places
data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected
platforms.

So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init()
and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be
backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known
problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as
well. Lots of churn.

A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and
avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when
an arch returns utter crap.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 46e49b3836 sched: Wholesale removal of sd_idle logic
sd_idle logic was introduced way back in 2005 (commit 5969fe06),
as an HT optimization.

As per the discussion in the thread here:

  lkml - sched: Resolve sd_idle and first_idle_cpu Catch-22 - v1
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/532501/

The capacity based logic in the load balancer right now handles this
in a much cleaner way, handling more than 2 SMT siblings etc, and sd_idle
does not seem to bring any additional benefits. sd_idle logic also has
some bugs that has performance impact. Here is the patch that removes
the sd_idle logic altogether.

Also, there was a dependency of sched_mc_power_savings == 2, with sd_idle
logic.

Stephane Eranian e5d1367f17 perf: Add cgroup support
This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.

The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.

For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:

struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;

cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling.
Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in
running events with a possible throttle status. The next tick to hit

an already running event.

Tejun Heo 01e05e9a90 ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach()
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state.  IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called.  This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.

The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.

This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector.  I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere.  Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked.  Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

Steven Rostedt 868baf07b1 ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplug
When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.

On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.

ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.

The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

David Daney 986c011ddb genirq: Call bus_lock/unlock functions in setup_irq()
irq_chips that supply .irq_bus_lock/.irq_bus_sync_unlock functions,
expect that the other chip methods will be called inside of calls to
the pair.  If this expectation is not met, things tend to not work.

Make setup_irq() call chip_bus_lock()/chip_bus_sync_unlock() too.

For the vast majority of irq_chips, this will be a NOP as most don't
have these bus lock functions.

[ tglx: No we don't want to call that in __setup_irq(). Way too many
  	error exit pathes. ]

Don Zickus 5651f7f47d watchdog, nmi: Lower the severity of error messages
During boot if the hardlockup detector fails to initialize, it
complains very loudly.  Some failures should be expected under
certain situations, ie no lapics, or resource in-use.  Tone
those error messages down a bit.  Keep the rest at a high level.

Steven Rostedt 6752ab4a9c tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on
tracing_enabled should not be used, it is heavy weight and does not
do much in helping lower the overhead.

tracing_on should be used instead. Warn users to use tracing_on
when tracing_enabled is used as it will soon be removed from the
tracing directory.

Thomas Gleixner 44951a60ff genirq: Remove dead code
CONFIG_KSTAT_IRQS_ONDEMAND does not exist. It's not worth to implement
it. Use sparse irqs if you care about memory consumption of the
interrupt layer.

Thomas Gleixner c305d524e5 softirq: Avoid stack switch from ksoftirqd
ksoftirqd() calls do_softirq() which switches stacks on several
architectures. That makes no sense at all. ksoftirqd's stack is
sufficient.

Call __do_softirq() directly.

Jiri Olsa 5e38ca8f3e tracing: Add unstable sched clock note to the warning
The warning "Delta way too big" warning might appear on a system with
unstable shed clock right after the system is resumed and tracing
was enabled during the suspend.

Since it's not realy bug, and the unstable sched clock is working
fast and reliable otherwise, Steven suggested to keep using the
sched clock in any case and just to make note in the warning itself.
