2009-04-01cpuacct: add per-cgroup utime/stime statisticsBharata B Rao
Add per-cgroup cpuacct controller statistics like the system and user time consumed by the group of tasks. Changelog: v7 - Changed the name of the statistic from utime to user and from stime to system so that in future we could easily add other statistics like irq, softirq, steal times etc easily. v6 - Fixed a bug in the error path of cpuacct_create() (pointed by Li Zefan). v5 - In cpuacct_stats_show(), use cputime64_to_clock_t() since we are operating on a 64bit variable here. v4 - Remove comments in cpuacct_update_stats() which explained why rcu_read_lock() was needed (as per Peter Zijlstra's review comments). - Don't say that percpu_counter_read() is broken in Documentation/cpuacct.txt as per KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki's review comments. v3 - Fix a small race in the cpuacct hierarchy walk. v2 - stime and utime now exported in clock_t units instead of msecs. - Addressed the code review comments from Balbir and Li Zefan. - Moved to -tip tree. v1 - Moved the stime/utime accounting to cpuacct controller.

2009-04-01posixtimers, sched: Fix posix clock monotonicityHidetoshi Seto
Impact: Regression fix (against clock_gettime() backwarding bug) This patch re-introduces a couple of functions, task_sched_runtime and thread_group_sched_runtime, which was once removed at the time of 2.6.28-rc1. These functions protect the sampling of thread/process clock with rq lock. This rq lock is required not to update rq->clock during the sampling. i.e. The clock_gettime() may return ((accounted runtime before update) + (delta after update)) that is less than what it should be. v2 -> v3: - Rename static helper function __task_delta_exec() to do_task_delta_exec() since -tip tree already has a __task_delta_exec() of different version. v1 -> v2: - Revises comments of function and patch description. - Add note about accuracy of thread group's runtime.

2009-04-01ring-buffer: do not remove reader page from list on ring buffer freeSteven Rostedt
Impact: prevent possible memory leak The reader page of the ring buffer is special. Although it points into the ring buffer, it is not part of the actual buffer. It is a page used by the reader to swap with a page in the ring buffer. Once the swap is made, the new reader page is again outside the buffer. Even though the reader page points into the buffer, it is really pointing to residual data. Note, this data is used by the reader. reader page | v (prev) +---+ (next) +----------| |----------+ | +---+ | v v +---+ +---+ +---+ -->| |------->| |------->| |---> <--| |<-------| |<-------| |<--- +---+ +---+ +---+ ^ ^ ^ \ | / ------- Buffer--------- If we perform a list_del_init() on the reader page we will actually remove the last page the reader swapped with and not the reader page itself. This will cause that page to not be freed, and thus is a memory leak. Luckily, the only user of the ring buffer so far is ftrace. And ftrace will not free its ring buffer after it allocates it. There is no current possible memory leak. But once there are other users, or if ftrace dynamically creates and frees its ring buffer, then this would be a memory leak. This patch fixes the leak for future cases. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-04-01function-graph: allow unregistering twiceSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to permanent disabling of function graph tracer There should be nothing to prevent a tracer from unregistering a function graph callback more than once. This can simplify error paths. But currently, the counter does not account for mulitple unregistering of the function graph callback. If it happens, the function graph tracer will be permanently disabled.

2009-03-31Get rid of indirect include of fs_struct.hAl Viro

2009-03-31New locking/refcounting for fs_structAl Viro
* all changes of current->fs are done under task_lock and write_lock of old fs->lock * refcount is not atomic anymore (same protection) * its decrements are done when removing reference from current; at the same time we decide whether to free it. * put_fs_struct() is gone * new field - ->in_exec. Set by check_unsafe_exec() if we are trying to do execve() and only subthreads share fs_struct. Cleared when finishing exec (success and failure alike).

2009-03-31cpuacct: make cpuacct hierarchy walk in cpuacct_charge() safe when ↵Bharata B Rao
rcupreempt is used -v2 Impact: fix cgroups race under rcu-preempt cpuacct_charge() obtains task's ca and does a hierarchy walk upwards. This can race with the task's movement between cgroups. This race can cause an access to freed ca pointer in cpuacct_charge() or access to invalid cgroups pointer of the task. This will not happen with rcu or tree rcu as cpuacct_charge() is called with preemption disabled. However if rcupreempt is used, the race is seen. Thanks to Li Zefan for explaining this. Fix this race by explicitly protecting ca and the hierarchy walk with rcu_read_lock(). Changes for v2: - Update patch descrition (as per Li Zefan's review comments). - Remove comments in cpuacct_charge() which explained why rcu_read_lock() was needed (as per Peter Zijlstra's review comments).

It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired timers to softirq context. This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns() method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but __raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup. It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor am I convinced its really needed.

2009-03-31module: don't use stop_machine on module loadRusty Russell
Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> discovered that boot times are slowed by about half a second because all the stop_machine_create() calls, and he only probes about 40 modules (I have 125 loaded on this laptop). We only do stop_machine_create() so we can unlink the module if something goes wrong, but it's overkill (and buggy anyway: if stop_machine_create() fails we still call stop_machine_destroy()). Since we are only protecting against kallsyms (esp. oops) walking the list, synchronize_sched() is sufficient (synchronize_rcu() is probably sufficient, but we're not in a hurry). Kay says of this patch: ... no module takes more than 40 millisecs to link now, most of them are between 3 and 8 millisecs. That looks very different to the numbers without this patch and the otherwise same setup, where we get heavy noise in the traces and many delays of up to 200 millisecs until linking, most of them taking 30+ millisecs.

2009-03-31module: create a request_module_nowait()Arjan van de Ven
There seems to be a common pattern in the kernel where drivers want to call request_module() from inside a module_init() function. Currently this would deadlock. As a result, several drivers go through hoops like scheduling things via kevent, or creating custom work queues (because kevent can deadlock on them). This patch changes this to use a request_module_nowait() function macro instead, which just fires the modprobe off but doesn't wait for it, and thus avoids the original deadlock entirely. On my laptop this already results in one less kernel thread running..

2009-03-31module: include other structures in module version checkRusty Russell
With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy export, but other things matter too: 1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section, 2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section, 3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*. 4) 'struct marker' determines __markers. 5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.

2009-03-31param: fix charp parameters set via sysfsRusty Russell
Impact: fix crash on reading from /sys/module/.../ieee80211_default_rc_algo The module_param type "charp" simply sets a char * pointer in the module to the parameter in the commandline string: this is why we keep the (mangled) module command line around. But when set via sysfs (as about 11 charp parameters can be) this memory is freed on the way out of the write(). Future reads hit random mem. So we kstrdup instead: we have to check we're not in early commandline parsing, and we have to note when we've used it so we can reliably kfree the parameter when it's next overwritten, and also on module unload.

2009-03-31rcu: rcu_barrier VS cpu_hotplug: Ensure callbacks in dead cpu are migrated ↵Lai Jiangshan
to online cpu cpu hotplug may happen asynchronously, some rcu callbacks are maybe still on dead cpu, rcu_barrier() also needs to wait for these rcu callbacks to complete, so we must ensure callbacks in dead cpu are migrated to online cpu. Paul E. McKenney's review: Good stuff, Lai!!! Simpler than any of the approaches that I was considering, and, better yet, independent of the underlying RCU implementation!!! I was initially worried that wake_up() might wake only one of two possible wait_event()s, namely rcu_barrier() and the CPU_POST_DEAD code, but the fact that wait_event() clears WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE avoids that issue. I was also worried about the fact that different RCU implementations have different mappings of call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), and call_rcu_sched(), but this is OK as well because we just get an extra (harmless) callback in the case that they map together (for example, Classic RCU has call_rcu_sched() mapping to call_rcu()). Overlap of CPU-hotplug operations is prevented by cpu_add_remove_lock, and any stray callbacks that arrive (for example, from irq handlers running on the dying CPU) either are ahead of the CPU_DYING callbacks on the one hand (and thus accounted for), or happened after the rcu_barrier() started on the other (and thus don't need to be accounted for).

Change the ordering of the kexec jump code so that the nonboot CPUs are disabled after calling device drivers' "late suspend" methods. This change reflects the recent modifications of the power management code that is also used by kexec jump. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-30PM: Change hibernation code orderingRafael J. Wysocki
Change the ordering of the hibernation core code so that the platform "prepare" callbacks are executed and the nonboot CPUs are disabled after calling device drivers' "late suspend" methods. This change (along with the previous analogous change of the suspend core code) will allow us to rework the PCI PM core so that the power state of devices is changed in the "late" phase of suspend (and analogously in the "early" phase of resume), which in turn will allow us to avoid the race condition where a device using shared interrupts is put into a low power state with interrupts enabled and then an interrupt (for another device) comes in and confuses its driver.

2009-03-30PM: Rework handling of interrupts during suspend-resumeRafael J. Wysocki
Use the functions introduced in by the previous patch, suspend_device_irqs(), resume_device_irqs() and check_wakeup_irqs(), to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume. Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume). In addition, since the device interrups are now disabled before the CPU has turned all interrupts off and the CPU will ACK the interrupts setting the IRQ_PENDING bit for them, check in sysdev_suspend() if any wake-up interrupts are pending and abort suspend if that's the case.

2009-03-30PM: Introduce functions for suspending and resuming device interruptsRafael J. Wysocki
Introduce helper functions allowing us to prevent device drivers from getting any interrupts (without disabling interrupts on the CPU) during suspend (or hibernation) and to make them start to receive interrupts again during the subsequent resume. These functions make it possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being executed. In turn, this allows device drivers' "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc. The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume. Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume).
