git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull two powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here's a pair of powerpc fixes for 3.15 which are also going to
stable.
One's a fix for building with newer binutils (the problem currently
only affects the BookE kernels but the affected macro might come back
into use on BookS platforms at any time). Unfortunately, the binutils
maintainer did a backward incompatible change to a construct that we
use so we have to add Makefile check.
The other one is a fix for CPUs getting stuck in kexec when running
single threaded. Since we routinely use kexec on power (including in
our newer bootloaders), I deemed that important enough"
* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc, kexec: Fix "Processor X is stuck" issue during kexec from ST mode
powerpc: Fix 64 bit builds with binutils 2.24
|

If we try to perform a kexec when the machine is in ST (Single-Threaded) mode
(ppc64_cpu --smt=off), the kexec operation doesn't succeed properly, and we
get the following messages during boot:
[ 0.089866] POWER8 performance monitor hardware support registered
[ 0.089985] power8-pmu: PMAO restore workaround active.
[ 5.095419] Processor 1 is stuck.

[ 65.125970] Processor 14 is stuck.
[ 70.128495] Processor 15 is stuck.
[ 75.131316] Processor 17 is stuck.
Note that only the sibling threads are stuck, while the primary threads (0, 8,
16 etc) boot just fine. Looking closer at the previous step of kexec, we observe
that kexec tries to wakeup (bring online) the sibling threads of all the cores,
before performing kexec:
[ 9464.131231] Starting new kernel
[ 9464.148507] kexec: Waking offline cpu 1.

[ 9464.148994] kexec: Waking offline cpu 15.
[ 9464.149030] kexec: Waking offline cpu 17.
Instrumenting this piece of code revealed that the cpu_up() operation actually
fails with -EBUSY. Thus, only the primary threads of all the cores are online
during kexec, and hence this is a sure-shot receipe for disaster, as explained
in commit e8e5c2155b (powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across kexec),
as well as in the comment above wake_offline_cpus().
It turns out that cpu_up() was returning -EBUSY because the variable
'cpu_hotplug_disabled' was set to 1; and this disabling of CPU hotplug was done
by migrate_to_reboot_cpu() inside kernel_kexec().
Now, migrate_to_reboot_cpu() was originally written with the assumption that
any further code will not need to perform CPU hotplug, since we are anyway in
the reboot path. However, kexec is clearly not such a case, since we depend on
onlining CPUs, atleast on powerpc.
So re-enable cpu-hotplug after returning from migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in the
kexec path, to fix this regression in kexec on powerpc.
Also, wrap the cpu_up() in powerpc kexec code within a WARN_ON(), so that we
can catch such issues more easily in the future.

On some systems the platform doesn't support neither
PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the
only available system sleep state. However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible.
For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument,
relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change
the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states.
Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze"
labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the
deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always
present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may
not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform.
Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change.

Use the observation that, for platform-dependent sleep states
(PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, PM_SUSPEND_MEM), a given state is either
always supported or always unsupported and store that information
in pm_states[] instead of calling valid_state() every time we
need to check it.
Also do not use valid_state() for PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE, which is always
valid, and move the pm_test_level validity check for PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE
directly into enter_state().

To allow sleep states corresponding to the "mem", "standby" and
"freeze" lables to be different from the pm_states[] indexes of
those strings, introduce struct pm_sleep_state, consisting of
a string label and a state number, and turn pm_states[] into an
array of objects of that type.
This modification should not lead to any functional changes.

Affine wakeups have the potential to interfere with NUMA placement.
If a task wakes up too many other tasks, affine wakeups will get
disabled.
However, regardless of how many other tasks it wakes up, it gets
re-enabled once a second, potentially interfering with NUMA
placement of other tasks.
By decaying wakee_wakes in half instead of zeroing it, we can avoid
that problem for some workloads.

Update the migrate_improves/degrades_locality() functions with
knowledge of pseudo-interleaving.
Do not consider moving tasks around within the set of group's active
nodes as improving or degrading locality. Instead, leave the load
balancer free to balance the load between a numa_group's active nodes.
Also, switch from the group/task_weight functions to the group/task_fault
functions. The "weight" functions involve a division, but both calls use
the same divisor, so there's no point in doing that from these functions.
On a 4 node (x10 core) system, performance of SPECjbb2005 seems
unaffected, though the number of migrations with 2 8-warehouse wide
instances seems to have almost halved, due to the scheduler running
each instance on a single node.

Currently the NUMA balancing code only allows moving tasks between NUMA
nodes when the load on both nodes is in balance. This breaks down when
the load was imbalanced to begin with.
Allow tasks to be moved between NUMA nodes if the imbalance is small,
or if the new imbalance is be smaller than the original one.

If the sched_clock time starts at a large value, the kernel will spin
in sched_avg_update for a long time while rq->age_stamp catches up
with rq->clock.
The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise
that it starts at zero. So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up
to avoid this.
I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at
zero. This might also be an issue on reboots on processors that don't
re-initialize the timer to zero on reset, and when using kexec.

Sometimes ->nr_running may cross 2 but interrupt is not being
sent to rq's cpu. In this case we don't reenable the timer.
Looks like this may be the reason for rare unexpected effects,
if nohz is enabled.
Patch replaces all places of direct changing of nr_running
and makes add_nr_running() caring about crossing border.

Currently, in idle_balance(), we update rq->next_balance when we pull_tasks.
However, it is also important to update this in the !pulled_tasks case too.
When the CPU is "busy" (the CPU isn't idle), rq->next_balance gets computed
using sd->busy_factor (so we increase the balance interval when the CPU is
busy). However, when the CPU goes idle, rq->next_balance could still be set
to a large value that was computed with the sd->busy_factor.
Thus, we need to also update rq->next_balance in idle_balance() in the cases
where !pulled_tasks too, so that rq->next_balance gets updated without taking
the busy_factor into account when the CPU is about to go idle.
This patch makes rq->next_balance get updated independently of whether or
not we pulled_task. Also, we add logic to ensure that we always traverse
at least 1 of the sched domains to get a proper next_balance value for
updating rq->next_balance.
Additionally, since load_balance() modifies the sd->balance_interval, we
need to re-obtain the sched domain's interval after the call to
load_balance() in rebalance_domains() before we update rq->next_balance.
This patch adds and uses 2 new helper functions, update_next_balance() and
get_sd_balance_interval() to update next_balance and obtain the sched
domain's balance_interval.

Jet Chen has reported a kernel panics when booting qemu-system-x86_64 with
kvm64 cpu. A panic occured while building the sched_domain.
In sched_init_numa, we create a new topology table in which both default
levels and numa levels are copied. The last row of the table must have a null
pointer in the mask field.
The current implementation doesn't add this last row in the computation of the
table size. So we add 1 row in the allocation size that will be used as the
last row of the table. The kzalloc will ensure that the mask field is NULL.

On smaller systems, the top level sched domain will be an affine
domain, and select_idle_sibling is invoked for every SD_WAKE_AFFINE
wakeup. This seems to be working well.
On larger systems, with the node distance between far away NUMA nodes
being > RECLAIM_DISTANCE, select_idle_sibling is only called if the
waker and the wakee are on nodes less than RECLAIM_DISTANCE apart.
This patch leaves in place the policy of not pulling the task across
nodes on such systems, while fixing the issue that select_idle_sibling
is not called at all in certain circumstances.
The code will look for an idle CPU in the same CPU package as the
CPU where the task ran previously.

task_hot checks exec_start on any runnable task, but if it has been
migrated since the it last ran, then exec_start is a clock_task from
another cpu. If the old cpu's clock_task was sufficiently far ahead of
this cpu's then the task will not be considered for another migration
until it has run. Instead reset exec_start whenever a task is migrated,
since it is presumably no longer hot anyway.

Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations
with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns)
can cause a system freeze for some amount of time.
The problem is that in the interface we have
u64 sched_runtime;
while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with
budget overruns)
s64 runtime;
At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in
the second. The cast turns out with negative values when
sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy
right from the start.
Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound
(s64)(a - b) < 0
we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}.
This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always
below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone).
It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in
__checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds
and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between
values is too big.

The way we read POSIX one should only call sched_getparam() when
sched_getscheduler() returns either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.
Given that we currently return sched_param::sched_priority=0 for all
others, extend the same behaviour to SCHED_DEADLINE.

The documented[1] behavior of sched_attr() in the proposed man page text is:
sched_attr::size must be set to the size of the structure, as in
sizeof(struct sched_attr), if the provided structure is smaller
than the kernel structure, any additional fields are assumed
'0'. If the provided structure is larger than the kernel structure,
the kernel verifies all additional fields are '0' if not the
syscall will fail with -E2BIG.
As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for
for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that
error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

Pull more cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Three more patches to fix cgroup_freezer breakage due to the recent
cgroup internal locking changes - an operation cgroup_freezer was
using now requires sleepable context and cgroup_freezer was invoking
that while holding a spin lock. cgroup_freezer was using an overly
elaborate hierarchical locking scheme.
While it's possible to convert the hierarchical spinlocks directly to
mutexes, this patch simplifies the overall locking so that it uses a
global mutex. This has the added benefit of avoiding iterating
potentially huge number of tasks under a spinlock. While the patch is
on the larger side in the devel cycle, the changes made are mostly
straight-forward and the locking logic is a lot simpler afterwards"

Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot
of data onto a serial console. Having RCU stall warnings pop up in
the middle of them only makes the problem worse.
This commit provides rcu_sysrq_start() and rcu_sysrq_end() APIs to
temporarily suppress RCU CPU stall warnings while a sysrq request is

Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do
not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor
do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries.
Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that
attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching.
Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same
event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly
required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request =
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the
normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed.
This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all
circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace
period, but the two cases:
1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a
ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between
removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer.
This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in
perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional
synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however...
2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed
(munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer
using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT.
This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does:
ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL)
followed by the ioctl() doing:
ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo);
and we still need to observe the grace period between these two
calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.
In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu()
call.

The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context
events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist.
This could race with task context software event being just
scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug
code already cleaned up event's data.
The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code
and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu
ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code.
It's easily reproduced with:
$ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe
while putting one of the cpus offline:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
Console emits following warning:

Vince reported that using a large sample_period (one with bit 63 set)
results in wreckage since while the sample_period is fundamentally
unsigned (negative periods don't make sense) the way we implement
things very much rely on signed logic.
So limit sample_period to 63 bits to avoid tripping over this.

We happily allow userspace to declare a random kernel thread to be the
owner of a user space PI futex.
Found while analysing the fallout of Dave Jones syscall fuzzer.
We also should validate the thread group for private futexes and find
some fast way to validate whether the "alleged" owner has RW access on
the file which backs the SHM, but that's a separate issue.

Dave Jones trinity syscall fuzzer exposed an issue in the deadlock
detection code of rtmutex:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140429151655.GA14277@redhat.com
That underlying issue has been fixed with a patch to the rtmutex code,
but the futex code must not call into rtmutex in that case because
- it can detect that issue early
- it avoids a different and more complex fixup for backing out
If the user space variable got manipulated to 0x80000000 which means
no lock holder, but the waiters bit set and an active pi_state in the
kernel is found we can figure out the recursive locking issue by
looking at the pi_state owner. If that is the current task, then we
can safely return -EDEADLK.
The check should have been added in commit 59fa62451 (futex: Handle
futex_pi OWNER_DIED take over correctly) already, but I did not see
the above issue caused by user space manipulation back then.

In the original code "resume_delay" is an int so on 64 bits, the call to
kstrtoul() will cause memory corruption. We may as well fix a style
issue here as well and make "resume_delay" unsigned int, since that's

The "freeze" sleep state suffers from the same issue that was
addressed by commit ad07277e82de (ACPI / PM: Hold acpi_scan_lock over
system PM transitions) for ACPI sleep states, that is, things break
if ->remove() is called for devices whose system resume callbacks
haven't been executed yet.
It also can be addressed in the same way, by holding the ACPI scan
lock over the "freeze" sleep state and PM transitions to and from
that state, but ->begin() and ->end() platform operations for the
"freeze" sleep state are needed for this purpose.
This change has been tested on Acer Aspire S5 with Thunderbolt.
