Record S3 failure time about each reason and the latest two failed
devices' names in S3 progress.
We can check it through 'suspend_stats' entry in debugfs.
The motivation of the patch:
We are enabling power features on Medfield. Comparing with PC/notebook,
a mobile enters/exits suspend-2-ram (we call it s3 on Medfield) far
more frequently. If it can't enter suspend-2-ram in time, the power
might be used up soon.
We often find sometimes, a device suspend fails. Then, system retries
s3 over and over again. As display is off, testers and developers
don't know what happens.
Some testers and developers complain they don't know if system
tries suspend-2-ram, and what device fails to suspend. They need
such info for a quick check. The patch adds suspend_stats under
debugfs for users to check suspend to RAM statistics quickly.
If not using this patch, we have other methods to get info about
what device fails. One is to turn on CONFIG_PM_DEBUG, but users
would get too much info and testers need recompile the system.
In addition, dynamic debug is another good tool to dump debug info.
But it still doesn't match our utilization scenario closely.
1) user need write a user space parser to process the syslog output;
2) Our testing scenario is we leave the mobile for at least hours.
Then, check its status. No serial console available during the
testing. One is because console would be suspended, and the other
is serial console connecting with spi or HSU devices would consume
power. These devices are powered off at suspend-2-ram.

The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file
is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle
the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from
the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the
next read will continue where the data left off.
After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of
the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again
after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page
is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This
will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return
duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards
but instead data is just repeated.
The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read
from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more
data exists in the ring buffer.

When doing intense tracing, the kmalloc inside trace_marker can
introduce side effects to what is being traced.
As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the
kernel ring buffer, it needs to do so with the least amount
of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space
application.
As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer
without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already
went through the hassle of knowing how big the write will be,
we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly
into the buffer. This improves the impact of tracing via trace_marker
tremendously!
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner for pointing out the
use of get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic().

As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are
performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange
it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the
kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the
tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop
the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code
modification.
Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help
the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system
a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user
know that their data may be incomplete.

Fix kprobe-tracer not to delete a probe if the probe is in use.
In that case, delete operation will return -EBUSY.
This bug can cause a kernel panic if enabled probes are deleted
during perf record.

This is originally reported on the fedora bugzilla:

I've also checked that this problem doesn't happen on
tracepoints when module removing because perf event
locks target module.

rq's idle_at_tick is set to idle/busy during the timer tick
depending on the cpu was idle or not. This will be used later in the load
balance that will be done in the softirq context (which is a process
context in -RT kernels).
For nohz kernels, for the cpu doing nohz idle load balance on behalf of
all the idle cpu's, its rq->idle_at_tick might have a stale value (which is
recorded when it got the timer tick presumably when it is busy).
As the nohz idle load balancing is also being done at the same place
as the regular load balancing, nohz idle load balancing was bailing out
when it sees rq's idle_at_tick not set.
Thus leading to poor system utilization.
Rename rq's idle_at_tick to idle_balance and set it when someone requests
for nohz idle balance on an idle cpu.

Current use of smp call function to kick the nohz idle balance can deadlock
in this scenario.
1. cpu-A did a generic_exec_single() to cpu-B and after queuing its call single
data (csd) to the call single queue, cpu-A took a timer interrupt. Actual IPI
to cpu-B to process the call single queue is not yet sent.
2. As part of the timer interrupt handler, cpu-A decided to kick cpu-B
for the idle load balancing (sets cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick to 1)
and __smp_call_function_single() with nowait will queue the csd to the
cpu-B's queue. But the generic_exec_single() won't send an IPI to cpu-B
as the call single queue was not empty.
3. cpu-A is busy with lot of interrupts
4. Meanwhile cpu-B is entering and exiting idle and noticed that it has
it's rq->nohz_balance_kick set to '1'. So it will go ahead and do the
idle load balancer and clear its rq->nohz_balance_kick.
5. At this point, csd queued as part of the step-2 above is still locked
and waiting to be serviced on cpu-B.
6. cpu-A is still busy with interrupt load and now it got another timer
interrupt and as part of it decided to kick cpu-B for another idle load
balancing (as it finds cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick cleared in step-4
above) and does __smp_call_function_single() with the same csd that is
still locked.
7. And we get a deadlock waiting for the csd_lock() in the
__smp_call_function_single().
Main issue here is that cpu-B can service the idle load balancer kick
request from cpu-A even with out receiving the IPI and this lead to
doing multiple __smp_call_function_single() on the same csd leading to
deadlock.
To kick a cpu, scheduler already has the reschedule vector reserved. Use
that mechanism (kick_process()) instead of using the generic smp call function
mechanism to kick off the nohz idle load balancing and avoid the deadlock.
[ This issue is present from 2.6.35+ kernels, but marking it -stable
only from v3.0+ as the proposed fix depends on the scheduler_ipi()
that is introduced recently. ]

On -rt we observed hackbench waking all 400 tasks to a single cpu.
This is because of select_idle_sibling()'s interaction with the new
ipi based wakeup scheme.
The existing idle_cpu() test only checks to see if the current task on
that cpu is the idle task, it does not take already queued tasks into
account, nor does it take queued to be woken tasks into account.
If the remote wakeup IPIs come hard enough, there won't be time to
schedule away from the idle task, and would thus keep thinking the cpu
was in fact idle, regardless of the fact that there were already
several hundred tasks runnable.
We couldn't reproduce on mainline, but there's no reason it couldn't
happen.

As request_percpu_irq() doesn't allow for a percpu interrupt to have
its type configured (it is generally impossible to configure it on all
CPUs at once), add a 'type' argument to enable_percpu_irq().
This allows some low-level, board specific init code to be switched to

The ARM GIC interrupt controller offers per CPU interrupts (PPIs),
which are usually used to connect local timers to each core. Each CPU
has its own private interface to the GIC, and only sees the PPIs that
are directly connect to it.
While these timers are separate devices and have a separate interrupt
line to a core, they all use the same IRQ number.
For these devices, request_irq() is not the right API as it assumes
that an IRQ number is visible by a number of CPUs (through the
affinity setting), but makes it very awkward to express that an IRQ
number can be handled by all CPUs, and yet be a different interrupt
line on each CPU, requiring a different dev_id cookie to be passed
back to the handler.
The *_percpu_irq() functions is designed to overcome these
limitations, by providing a per-cpu dev_id vector:
int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
int setup_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *new);
void remove_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *act);
void enable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
void disable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
The API has a number of limitations:
- no interrupt sharing
- no threading
- common handler across all the CPUs
Once the interrupt is requested using setup_percpu_irq() or
request_percpu_irq(), it must be enabled by each core that wishes its
local interrupt to be delivered.

David reported:
Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
similar.
Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
is part of the top-level process's thread group.
I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
64-bit binaries).
For example:
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$
The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.
I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
are the outer-most ones.

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.
This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().
Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old
code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a
64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

__find_resource() incorrectly returns a resource window which overlaps
an existing allocated window. This happens when the parent's
resource-window spans 0x00000000 to 0xffffffff and is entirely allocated
to all its children resource-windows.
__find_resource() looks for gaps in resource allocation among the
children resource windows. When it encounters the last child window it
blindly tries the range next to one allocated to the last child. Since
the last child's window ends at 0xffffffff the calculation overflows,
leading the algorithm to believe that any window in the range 0x0000000
to 0xfffffff is available for allocation. This leads to a conflicting
window allocation.

It is possible for the CPU that noted the end of the prior grace period
to not need a new one, and therefore to decide to propagate ->completed
throughout the rcu_node tree without starting another grace period.
However, in so doing, it releases the root rcu_node structure's lock,
which can allow some other CPU to start another grace period. The first
CPU will be propagating ->completed in parallel with the second CPU
initializing the rcu_node tree for the new grace period. In theory
this is harmless, but in practice we need to keep things simple.
This commit therefore moves the propagation of ->completed to
rcu_report_qs_rsp(), and refrains from marking the old grace period
as having been completed until it has finished doing this. This
prevents anyone from starting a new grace period concurrently with
marking the old grace period as having been completed.
Of course, the optimization where a CPU needing a new grace period
doesn't bother marking the old one completed is still in effect:
In that case, the marking happens implicitly as part of initializing
the new grace period.

The purpose of rcu_needs_cpu_flush() was to iterate on pushing the
current grace period in order to help the current CPU enter dyntick-idle
mode. However, this can result in failures if the CPU starts entering
dyntick-idle mode, but then backs out. In this case, the call to
rcu_pending() from rcu_needs_cpu_flush() might end up announcing a
non-existing quiescent state.
This commit therefore removes rcu_needs_cpu_flush() in favor of letting
the dyntick-idle machinery at the end of the softirq handler push the
loop along via its call to rcu_pending().

RCU boost threads start life at RCU_BOOST_PRIO, while others remain
at RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO. While here, change thread names to match other
kthreads, and adjust rcu_yield() to not override the priority set by
the user. This last change sets the stage for runtime changes to
priority in the -rt tree.

One of the loops in rcu_torture_boost() fails to check kthread_should_stop(),
and thus might be slowing or even stopping completion of rcutorture tests
at rmmod time. This commit adds the kthread_should_stop() check to the
offending loop.

The rcu_torture_fqs() function can prevent the rcutorture tests from
completing, resulting in a hang. This commit therefore ensures that
rcu_torture_fqs() will exit its inner loops at the end of the test,
and also applies the newish ULONG_CMP_LT() macro to time comparisons.

Create a separate lockdep class for the rt_mutex used for RCU priority
boosting and enable use of rt_mutex_lock() with irqs disabled. This
prevents RCU priority boosting from falling prey to deadlocks when
someone begins an RCU read-side critical section in preemptible state,
but releases it with an irq-disabled lock held.
Unfortunately, the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks
still must either completely enclose or be completely enclosed by any
overlapping RCU read-side critical section.
This version removes a redundant local_irq_restore() noted by
Yong Zhang.

CPUs set rdp->qs_pending when coming online to resolve races with
grace-period start. However, this means that if RCU is idle, the
just-onlined CPU might needlessly send itself resched IPIs. Adjust
the online-CPU initialization to avoid this, and also to correctly
cause the CPU to respond to the current grace period if needed.

It is possible for an RCU CPU stall to end just as it is detected, in
which case the current code will uselessly dump all CPU's stacks.
This commit therefore checks for this condition and refrains from
sending needless NMIs.
And yes, the stall might also end just after we checked all CPUs and
tasks, but in that case we would at least have given some clue as
to which CPU/task was at fault.

Greater use of RCU during early boot (before the scheduler is operating)
is causing RCU to attempt to start grace periods during that time, which
in turn is resulting in both RCU and the callback functions attempting
to use the scheduler before it is ready.
This commit prevents these problems by prohibiting RCU grace periods
until after the scheduler has spawned the first non-idle task.

Commit 7765be (Fix RCU_BOOST race handling current->rcu_read_unlock_special)
introduced a new ->rcu_boosted field in the task structure. This is
redundant because the existing ->rcu_boost_mutex will be non-NULL at
any time that ->rcu_boosted is nonzero. Therefore, this commit removes
->rcu_boosted and tests ->rcu_boost_mutex instead.

There isn't a whole lot of point in poking the scheduler before there
are other tasks to switch to. This commit therefore adds a check
for rcu_scheduler_fully_active in __rcu_pending() to suppress any
pre-scheduler calls to set_need_resched(). The downside of this approach
is additional runtime overhead in a reasonably hot code path.

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function is a no-op in architectures that
do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace. On such architectures, RCU
CPU stall warning messages contain no stack trace information, which makes
debugging quite difficult. This commit therefore substitutes dump_stack()
for architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace,
so that at least the local CPU's stack is dumped as part of the RCU CPU
stall warning message.

We only need to constrain the compiler if we are actually exiting
the top-level RCU read-side critical section. This commit therefore
moves the first barrier() cal in __rcu_read_unlock() to inside the
"if" statement, thus avoiding needless register flushes for inner
rcu_read_unlock() calls.

When the ->dynticks field in the rcu_dynticks structure changed to an
atomic_t, its size on 64-bit systems changed from 64 bits to 32 bits.
The local variables in rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() need to change as
well, hence this commit.

The in_irq() check in rcu_enter_nohz() is redundant because if we really
are in an interrupt, the attempt to re-enter dyntick-idle mode will invoke
rcu_needs_cpu() in any case, which will force the check for RCU callbacks.
So this commit removes the check along with the set_need_resched().

RCU no longer uses this global variable, nor does anyone else. This
commit therefore removes this variable. This reduces memory footprint
and also removes some atomic instructions and memory barriers from
the dyntick-idle path.
