Steven Rostedt 48659d3119 tracing: move tgid out of generic entry and into userstack
The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry.
Unfortunately, it was added to the generic entry where it wasted
4 bytes of every entry and was only used by one entry.

This patch moves it out of the generic field and moves it into the
only user (userstack_entry).

Steven Rostedt 49ff590390 tracing: add latency format to function_graph tracer
While debugging something with the function_graph tracer, I found the
need to see the preempt count of the traces. Unfortunately, since
the function graph tracer has its own output formatting, it does not
honor the latency-format option.

This patch makes the function_graph tracer honor the latency-format
option, but still keeps control of the output. But now we have the
same details that the latency-format supplies.

Steven Rostedt fc06b8520b x86/tracing: comment need for atomic nop
The dynamic function tracer relys on the macro P6_NOP5 always being
an atomic NOP. If for some reason it is changed to be two operations
(like a nop2 nop3) it can faults within the kernel when the function
tracer modifies the code.

This patch adds a comment to note that the P6_NOPs are expected to
be atomic. This will hopefully prevent anyone from changing that.

Steven Rostedt 478142c39c tracing: do not grab lock in wakeup latency function tracing
The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer.
It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following
is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU
before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions
on the other CPU.

To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs
a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear
it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up.
By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about
the task being freed as it checks its cpu.

Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When
a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this
lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking
this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just
serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused
major issues on that box. It would even lockup.

This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task
tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the
probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs
to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that
holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since
it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

Robert Richter d8eeb2d3b2 ring-buffer: consolidate interface of rb_buffer_peek()
rb_buffer_peek() operates with struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer
only. Thus, instead of passing variables buffer and cpu it is better
to use cpu_buffer directly. This also reduces the risk of races since
cpu_buffer is not calculated twice.

Nicolas Pitre 9de6886ec6 ext2: fix unbalanced kmap()/kunmap()
In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot().  It is
then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir.
Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the
page remains pinned forever.  Repeat that a couple times with highmem
pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls
end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole
system comes to a halt.

Linus Torvalds ac89a9174d pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'
The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to
worry about, not the pty layer itself.  The total buffer space will
still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no
advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size
somehow.

And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in
this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be
written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes
as two single-byte writes.  And if the first byte written (CR) then
caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned
zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly
failed the write - leading to a lost newline character.

This should finally fix

Linus Torvalds 37f81fa1f6 n_tty: do O_ONLCR translation as a single write
When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as
two tty_put_char() calls.  Which works, but is stupid, and has caused
problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic.
The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example.

Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic
tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc:
"pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic").

So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write
instead.  That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space
expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just
a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test,
which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering,
it won't cause weeks of debugging.

Oleg Nesterov a2a8474c3f exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutex
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since

	"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
	04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d

commit in 2.6.31.

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.

The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex.  Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

	- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
	  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

	- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
	  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

	  or, if exec fails,

	  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
	  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

Mel Gorman dd5d241ea9 page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is disabled
On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation
cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile.  Once
disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked
MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call
to __rmqueue_fallback().

However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership
because the normal criteria are not met.  This has the effect of
prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks.  This is most
serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot.
This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when
anti-fragmentation is disabled.  This prevents the large blocks being
prematurely broken up.

This is a fix to commit 49255c619f [page
allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and
the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff().  If do_mmap_shared_file() or
do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which
point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet
added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG
because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree.

To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree
before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep
nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a
transient region.

Oleg Nesterov 4e49627b9b workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its

In dual-buffer DMA mode, no video frames are ever received from R5C832
by libdc1394.  Fallback to packet-per-buffer DMA works reliably.

Stefan Richter fc383796a8 firewire: ohci: fix Agere FW643 and multiple cameras
An Agere FW643 OHCI 1.1 card works fine for video reception from one
camera but fails early if receiving from two cameras.  After a short
while, no IR IRQ events occur and the context control register does not
react anymore.  This happens regardless whether both IR DMA contexts are
dual-buffer or one is dual-buffer and the other packet-per-buffer.

This can be worked around by disabling dual buffer DMA mode entirely.

(Reported by Samuel Audet.)

In another report (by Jonathan Cameron), an FW643 works OK with two
cameras in dual buffer mode.  Whether this is due to different chip
revisions or different usage patterns (different video formats) is not
yet clear.  However, as far as the current capabilities of
firewire-core's isochronous I/O interface are concerned, simply
switching off dual-buffer on non-working and working FW643s alike is not
a problem in practice.  We only need to revisit this issue if we are
going to enhance the interface, e.g. so that applications can explicitly
choose modes.

Stefan Richter 1821bc19d5 firewire: core: fix crash in iso resource management
This fixes a regression due to post 2.6.30 commit "firewire: core: do
not DMA-map stack addresses" 6fdc037094.

As David Moore noted, a previously correct sizeof() expression became
wrong since the commit changed its argument from an array to a pointer.
This resulted in an oops in ohci_cancel_packet in the shared workqueue
thread's context when an isochronous resource was to be freed.

Steven Rostedt 85bac32c4a ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed
Since the ability to swap the cpu buffers adds a small overhead to
the recording of a trace, we only want to add it when needed.

Only the irqsoff and preemptoff tracers use this feature, and both are
not recommended for production kernels. This patch disables its use
when neither irqsoff nor preemptoff is configured.

Steven Rostedt 62f0b3eb5c ring-buffer: check for swapped buffers in start of committing
Because the irqsoff tracer can swap an internal CPU buffer, it is possible
that a swap happens between the start of the write and before the committing
bit is set (the committing bit will disable swapping).

This patch adds a check for this and will fail the write if it detects it.

Steven Rostedt e8165dbb03 tracing: report error in trace if we fail to swap latency buffer
The irqsoff tracer will fail to swap the cpu buffer with the max
buffer if it preempts a commit. Instead of ignoring this, this patch
makes the tracer report it if the last max latency failed due to preempting
a current commit.

The output of the latency tracer will look like this:

Steven Rostedt e77405ad80 tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

Steven Rostedt f633903af2 tracing: make tracing_reset safe for external use
Reseting the trace buffer without first disabling the buffer and
waiting for any writers to complete, can corrupt the ring buffer.

This patch makes the external version of tracing_reset safe from
corruption by disabling the ring buffer and calling synchronize_sched.

This version can no longer be called from interrupt context. But all those
callers have been removed.

Steven Rostedt 2f26ebd549 tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces
Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.

The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing
after the bug is hit.

Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.

Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

The latency_trace file got removed a while back by commit
886b5b73d7 and has been replaced
by the latency-format option.

This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.

Changes since v1:
 - mention that the trace format is configurable through the
   latency-format option
 - Fix a couple mistakes related to the timestamps
