Oleg Nesterov 37bebc70d7 posix timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers.

This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not
optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu()
is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed.

The proper fix (I think) is:

	- set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running
	  logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp

	- posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed

	- fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of
	  task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires)

Miklos Szeredi 53da1d9456 fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:

  Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
  Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.

The problem is this:

 - task A is ptracing task B
 - task B stops on a trace event
 - task A is woken up and preempts task B
 - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
 - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
 - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
 - ...

Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.

This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Darren Hart e4dc5b7a36 futex: clean up fault logic
Impact: cleanup

Older versions of the futex code held the mmap_sem which had to
be dropped in order to call get_user(), so a two-pronged fault
handling mechanism was employed to handle faults of the atomic
operations.  The mmap_sem is no longer held, so get_user()
should be adequate.  This patch greatly simplifies the logic and
improves legibility.

futex_lock_pi can potentially return -EFAULT with the rt_mutex

inconsistent state.  This patch unlocks the rt_mutex prior to
returning -EFAULT to userspace.

Darren Hart b2d0994b13 futex: update futex commentary
Impact: cleanup

The futex_hash_bucket can be a bit confusing when first looking
at the code as it is a shared queue (and futex_q isn't a queue
at all, but rather an element on the queue).

The mmap_sem is no longer held outside of the
futex_handle_fault() routine, yet numerous comments refer to it.
The fshared argument is no an integer.  I left some of these
comments along as they are simply removed in future patches.

Some of the commentary refering to futexes by virtual page
mappings was not very clear, and completely accurate (as for
shared futexes both the page and the offset are used to
determine the key).  For the purposes of the function
description, just referring to "the futex" seems sufficient.

With hashed futexes we now access the page after the hash-bucket
is locked, and not only after it is enqueued.

Mike Galbraith df1c99d416 sched: add avg_overlap decay
Impact: more precise avg_overlap metric - better load-balancing

avg_overlap is used to measure the runtime overlap of the waker and
wakee.

However, when a process changes behaviour, eg a pipe becomes
un-congested and we don't need to go to sleep after a wakeup
for a while, the avg_overlap value grows stale.

When running we use the avg runtime between preemption as a
measure for avg_overlap since the amount of runtime can be
correlated to cache footprint.

The longer we run, the less likely we'll be wanting to be
migrated to another CPU.

Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:

Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of

	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);

will be negative and the division performed by

	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)

will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.

In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

Tejun Heo edcb463997 percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables
Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
	percpu variables

This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk.  When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator.  This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.

If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation.  If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.  The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.

If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

Frederic Weisbecker 8a0be9ef82 sched: don't rebalance if attached on NULL domain
Impact: fix function graph trace hang / drop pointless softirq on UP

While debugging a function graph trace hang on an old PII, I saw
that it consumed most of its time on the timer interrupt. And
the domain rebalancing softirq was the most concerned.

The timer interrupt calls trigger_load_balance() which will
decide if it is worth to schedule a rebalancing softirq.

In case of builtin UP kernel, no problem arises because there is
no domain question.

In case of builtin SMP kernel running on an SMP box, still no
problem, the softirq will be raised each time we reach the
next_balance time.

In case of builtin SMP kernel running on a UP box (most distros
provide default SMP kernels, whatever the box you have), then
the CPU is attached to the NULL sched domain. So a kind of
unexpected behaviour happen:

trigger_load_balance() -> raises the rebalancing softirq later
on softirq: run_rebalance_domains() -> rebalance_domains() where
the for_each_domain(cpu, sd) is not taken because of the NULL
domain we are attached at. Which means rq->next_balance is never
updated. So on the next timer tick, we will enter
trigger_load_balance() which will always reschedule() the
rebalacing softirq:

if (time_after_eq(jiffies, rq->next_balance))
	raise_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ);

So for each tick, we process this pointless softirq.

This patch fixes it by checking if we are attached to the null
domain before raising the softirq, another possible fix would be
to set the maximal possible JIFFIES value to rq->next_balance if
we are attached to the NULL domain.

v2: build fix on UP

Eric Dumazet 64ca5ab913 rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()
If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.

Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.

Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

Roland McGrath 5b1017404a x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

Paul E. McKenney a682604838 rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at boot
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton.  And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language.  ;-)

The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state.  This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.

This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition.  RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().

Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1.  This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally.  Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence.  Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.

In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.

Changes since v4:

o	Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
	be less emotional.  ;-)

Changes since v3:

o	WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
	switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
	switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.

Changes since v2:

o	Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
	determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
	a grace period.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
	rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
	checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
	the system is still in early boot.

	This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
	on a single CPU after booting is complete.

o	Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
	being but one online CPU.

Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked

Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization:

When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL
was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is
arguably the wrong thing to do.

We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in
ntp_update_offset(), in form of:

	if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0))
 		secs = 0;

But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when
the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup.

So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions.

This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for
a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update,
with a very large delta.

Arve Hjønnevåg 403f307576 PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.

Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

john stultz fdcedf7b75 time: apply NTP frequency/tick changes immediately
Since the GENERIC_TIME changes landed, the adjtimex behavior changed
for struct timex.tick and .freq changed. When the tick or freq value
is set, we adjust the tick_length_base in ntp_update_frequency().
However, this new value doesn't get applied to tick_length until the
next second (via second_overflow).

This means some applications that do quick time tweaking do not see the
requested change made as quickly as expected.

I've run a few tests with this change, and ntpd still functions fine.

Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted

This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer
does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set
to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer
size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than
the ring buffer size.

Impact: fix output of function tracer to be useful

The function tracer is pretty useless if KALLSYMS is not configured.
Unless you are good at reading hex values, the function tracer should
select the KALLSYMS configuration.

Also, the dynamic function tracer will fail its self test if KALLSYMS
is not selected.

Steven Rostedt 0c5119c1e6 tracing: disable tracing while testing ring buffer
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.

This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.
