2015-02-26rcu: Fixes to NO_HZ_FULL sysidle accountingPaul E. McKenney
On second and subsequent passes through quiescent-state forcing, the isidle variable was initialized to false, which would prevent full sysidle state from being reached if a grace period needed more than one round of quiescent-state forcing (which most should not). However, the check for offline CPUs in the quiescent-state forcing main loop had the wrong sense, which could prevent CPUs from ever entering full sysidle state. This commit fixes both of these bugs. Given that sysidle is not yet wired up, this has no effect in old kernels, but might have proven frustrating had anyone attempted to wire it up. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-02-26rcutorture: Make consistent use of variablesPaul E. McKenney
The "if" statement at the beginning of rcu_torture_writer() should use the same set of variables. In theory, this does not matter because the corresponding variables (gp_sync and gp_sync1) have the same value at this point in the code, but in practice such puzzles should be removed. This commit therefore makes the use of variables consistent. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-02-26rcu: Add Kconfig option to expedite grace periods during bootPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp(). A late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding rcu_unexpedite_gp(). The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() should be made just before init is spawned. According to Arjan: > To show the boot time, I'm using the timestamp of the "Write protecting" > line, that's pretty much the last thing we print prior to ring 3 execution. > > A kernel with default RCU behavior (inside KVM, only virtual devices) > looks like this: > > [ 0.038724] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k > > a kernel with expedited RCU (using the command line option, so that I > don't have to recompile between measurements and thus am completely > oranges-to-oranges) > > [ 0.031768] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k > > which, in percentage, is an 18% improvement.

2015-02-26rcu: Provide rcu_expedite_gp() and rcu_unexpedite_gp()Paul E. McKenney
Currently, expediting of normal synchronous grace-period primitives (synchronize_rcu() and friends) is controlled by the rcu_expedited() boot/sysfs parameter. This works well, but does not handle nesting. This commit therefore provides rcu_expedite_gp() to enable expediting and rcu_unexpedite_gp() to cancel a prior rcu_expedite_gp(), both of which support nesting.

2015-02-26rcu: Avoid clobbering early boot callbacksPaul E. McKenney
When a CPU comes online, it initializes its callback list. This is a bad thing if this is the first time that the CPU has come online and if that CPU has early boot callbacks. This commit therefore avoid initializing the callback list if there are callbacks present, in which case the initial call_rcu() did the initialization for us. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-02-26rcu: Refine diagnostics for lacking kthread for no-CBs callbacksPaul E. McKenney

2015-02-26rcu: Prevent early-boot RCU callbacks from splattingPaul E. McKenney
Currently, a call_rcu() that precedes rcu_init() will splat due to the callback lists not having yet been initialized. This commit causes the first such callback to initialize the boot CPU's RCU callback list. Note that this commit does not change rcu_init()-time initialization, which means that the callback will be discarded at rcu_init() time. Fixing this is the job of later commits.

2015-02-26PM / sleep: add configurable delay for pm_testBrian Norris
When CONFIG_PM_DEBUG=y, we provide a sysfs file (/sys/power/pm_test) for selecting one of a few suspend test modes, where rather than entering a full suspend state, the kernel will perform some subset of suspend steps, wait 5 seconds, and then resume back to normal operation. This mode is useful for (among other things) observing the state of the system just before entering a sleep mode, for debugging or analysis purposes. However, a constant 5 second wait is not sufficient for some sorts of analysis; for example, on an SoC, one might want to use external tools to probe the power states of various on-chip controllers or clocks. This patch turns this 5 second delay into a configurable module parameter, so users can determine how long to wait in this pseudo-suspend state before resuming the system. Example (wait 30 seconds); # echo 30 > /sys/module/suspend/parameters/pm_test_delay # echo core > /sys/power/pm_test # time echo mem > /sys/power/state ...

2015-02-25perf/x86/intel: Support task events with Intel CQMMatt Fleming
Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in intel_cqm_event_read(). Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package. Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count(). We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values. If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function so that we don't duplicate the code. Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU driver. This task information is only availble in the upper layers of the perf infrastructure. Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether events should share a cache group and an RMID.

2015-02-25perf: Move cgroup init before PMU ->event_init()Matt Fleming

2015-02-25perf: Add ->count() function to read per-package countersMatt Fleming
For PMU drivers that record per-package counters, the ->count variable cannot be used to record an accurate aggregated value, since it's not possible to perform SMP cross-calls to cpus on other packages from the context in which we update ->count. Introduce a new optional ->count() accessor function that can be used to customize how values are collected. If a PMU driver doesn't provide a ->count() function, we fallback to the existing code. There is necessarily a window of staleness with this approach because the task that generated the counter value may not have been scheduled by the cpu recently. An alternative and more complex approach would be to use a hrtimer to periodically refresh the values from a more permissive scheduling context. So, we're trading off complexity for accuracy.

Move perf_cgroup_from_task() from kernel/events/ to include/linux/ along with the necessary struct definitions, so that it can be used by the PMU code. When the upcoming Intel Cache Monitoring PMU driver assigns monitoring IDs to perf events, it needs to be able to check whether any two monitoring events overlap (say, a cgroup and task event), which means we need to be able to lookup the cgroup associated with a task (if any).

With the new standardized functions, we can replace all ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes lockref and seqlock while at it. ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type, this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

The mm->exe_file is currently serialized with mmap_sem (shared) in order to both safely (1) read the file and (2) audit it via audit_log_d_path(). Good users will, on the other hand, make use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissapear underneath us. Additionally, upon NULL return of get_mm_exe_file, we also call audit_log_format(ab, " exe=(null)").

2015-02-23audit: move the tree pruning to a dedicated threadImre Palik
When file auditing is enabled, during a low memory situation, a memory allocation with __GFP_FS can lead to pruning the inode cache. Which can, in turn lead to audit_tree_freeing_mark() being called. This can call audit_schedule_prune(), that tries to fork a pruning thread, and waits until the thread is created. But forking needs memory, and the memory allocations there are done with __GFP_FS. So we are waiting merrily for some __GFP_FS memory allocations to complete, while holding some filesystem locks. This can take a while ... This patch creates a single thread for pruning the tree from audit_add_tree_rule(), and thus avoids the deadlock that the on-demand thread creation can cause.

On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting after a panic. Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to interact with debugger. To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via /proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the default value. Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting for the user input incase of panic.

2015-02-19kdb: Provide forward search at more promptDaniel Thompson
Currently kdb allows the output of comamnds to be filtered using the | grep feature. This is useful but does not permit the output emitted shortly after a string match to be examined without wading through the entire unfiltered output of the command. Such a feature is particularly useful to navigate function traces because these traces often have a useful trigger string *before* the point of interest. This patch reuses the existing filtering logic to introduce a simple forward search to kdb that can be triggered from the more prompt.

2015-02-19kdb: Fix a prompt management bug when using | grepDaniel Thompson
Currently when the "| grep" feature is used to filter the output of a command then the prompt is not displayed for the subsequent command. Likewise any characters typed by the user are also not echoed to the display. This rather disconcerting problem eventually corrects itself when the user presses Enter and the kdb_grepping_flag is cleared as kdb_parse() tries to make sense of whatever they typed. This patch resolves the problem by moving the clearing of this flag from the middle of command processing to the beginning.

2015-02-19kdb: Remove stack dump when entering kgdb due to NMIDaniel Thompson
Issuing a stack dump feels ergonomically wrong when entering due to NMI. Entering due to NMI is normally a reaction to a user request, either the NMI button on a server or a "magic knock" on a UART. Therefore the backtrace behaviour on entry due to NMI should be like SysRq-g (no stack dump) rather than like oops. Note also that the stack dump does not offer any information that cannot be trivial retrieved using the 'bt' command.

2015-02-19kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consolesDaniel Thompson
Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix (consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage of printk() usage. For example <SysRq>-h ends up with different output to that of kdb's "sr h". This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to printk(). The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit 04d2c8c83d0e ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

2015-02-19kdb: Fix off by one error in kdb_cpu()Jason Wessel
There was a follow on replacement patch against the prior "kgdb: Timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/7/442 This patch is the delta vs the patch that was committed upstream: * Fix an off-by-one error in kdb_cpu(). * Replace NR_CPUS with CONFIG_NR_CPUS to tell checkpatch that we really want a static limit. * Removed the "KGDB: " prefix from the pr_crit() in debug_core.c (kgdb-next contains a patch which introduced pr_fmt() to this file to the tag will now be applied automatically).

2015-02-19kdb: fix incorrect counts in KDB summary command outputJay Lan
The output of KDB 'summary' command should report MemTotal, MemFree and Buffers output in kB. Current codes report in unit of pages. A define of K(x) as is defined in the code, but not used. This patch would apply the define to convert the values to kB. Please include me on Cc on replies. I do not subscribe to linux-kernel.

2015-02-18livepatch: simplify disable error pathJosh Poimboeuf
If registering the function with ftrace has previously succeeded, unregistering will almost never fail. Even if it does, it's not a fatal error. We can still carry on and disable the klp_func from being used by removing it from the klp_ops func stack.

2015-02-18sched/rt/nohz: Stop scheduler tick if running realtime taskRik van Riel
If the CPU is running a realtime task that does not round-robin with another realtime task of equal priority, there is no point in keeping the scheduler tick going. After all, whenever the scheduler tick runs, the kernel will just decide not to reschedule. Extend sched_can_stop_tick() to recognize these situations, and inform the rest of the kernel that the scheduler tick can be stopped.

Use event->attr.branch_sample_type to replace intel_pmu_needs_lbr_smpl() for avoiding duplicated code that implicitly enables the LBR. Currently, branch stack can be enabled by user explicitly requesting branch sampling or implicit branch sampling to correct PEBS skid. For user explicitly requested branch sampling, the branch_sample_type is explicitly set by user. For PEBS case, the branch_sample_type is also implicitly set to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY in x86_pmu_hw_config.
