2009-11-27hw-breakpoints: Use struct perf_event_attr to define kernel breakpointsFrederic Weisbecker
Kernel breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length and type. Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across architectures that may support this api later as these may have more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

2009-11-27softlockup: Fix hung_task_check_count sysctlAnton Blanchard
I'm seeing spikes of up to 0.5ms in khungtaskd on a large machine. To reduce this source of jitter I tried setting hung_task_check_count to 0: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_count which didn't have the intended response. Change to a post increment of max_count, so a value of 0 means check 0 tasks.

2009-11-26perf_events: Fix read() bogus counts when in error stateStephane Eranian
When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state. Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing information returned by read(). Fix it by clearing the error state.

2009-11-26sched, time: Define nsecs_to_jiffies()Hidetoshi Seto
Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some problems: - The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days. - msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument is set, assuming that input was negative value. So it cannot convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too. This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as unsigned.

2009-11-26sched: Introduce task_times() to replace task_{u,s}time() pairHidetoshi Seto
Functions task_{u,s}time() are called in pair in almost all cases. However task_stime() is implemented to call task_utime() from its inside, so such paired calls run task_utime() twice. It means we do heavy divisions (div_u64 + do_div) twice to get utime and stime which can be obtained at same time by one set of divisions.

2009-11-25ring-buffer-benchmark: Add parameters to set produce/consumer prioritiesSteven Rostedt
Running the ring-buffer-benchmark's threads at the lowest priority may work well for keeping it in the background, but it is not appropriate for the benchmarks. This patch adds 4 parameters to the module: consumer_fifo consumer_nice producer_fifo producer_nice By default the consumer and producer still run at nice +19. If the *_fifo options are set, they will override the *_nice values. modprobe ring_buffer_benchmark consumer_nice=0 producer_fifo=10 The above will set the consumer thread to a nice value of 0, and the producer thread to a RT SCHED_FIFO priority of 10. Note, this patch also fixes a bug where calling set_user_nice on the consumer thread would oops the kernel when the parameter "disable_reader" is set.

2009-11-24remove CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile optionSerge E. Hallyn
As far as I know, all distros currently ship kernels with default CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y. Since having the option on leaves a 'no_file_caps' option to boot without file capabilities, the main reason to keep the option is that turning it off saves you (on my s390x partition) 5k. In particular, vmlinux sizes came to: without patch fscaps=n: 53598392 without patch fscaps=y: 53603406 with this patch applied: 53603342 with the security-next tree. Against this we must weigh the fact that there is no simple way for userspace to figure out whether file capabilities are supported, while things like per-process securebits, capability bounding sets, and adding bits to pI if CAP_SETPCAP is in pE are not supported with SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=n, leaving a bit of a problem for applications wanting to know whether they can use them and/or why something failed. It also adds another subtly different set of semantics which we must maintain at the risk of severe security regressions. So this patch removes the SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile option. It drops the kernel size by about 50k over the stock SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y kernel, by removing the cap_limit_ptraced_target() function.

2009-11-24Silence the existing API for capability version compatibility check.Andrew G. Morgan
When libcap, or other libraries attempt to confirm/determine the supported capability version magic, they generally supply a NULL dataptr to capget(). In this case, while returning the supported/preferred magic (via a modified header content), the return code of this system call may be 0, -EINVAL, or -EFAULT. No libcap code depends on the previous -EINVAL etc. return code, and all of the above three return codes can accompany a valid (successful) attempt to determine the requested magic value.

2009-11-23perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling landPeter Zijlstra
It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing. perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters (2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them, solved the worst of that, but there was still some left). The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping (we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the events. This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active. Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a event while the attached task was not scheduled in. Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about ctx->is_active.

2009-11-23perf_events: Fix __perf_event_exit_task() vs. update_event_times() lockingPeter Zijlstra
Move the update_event_times() call in __perf_event_exit_task() into list_del_event() because that holds the proper lock (ctx->lock) and seems a more natural place to do the last time update.

2009-11-23perf_events: Update the context time on exitPeter Zijlstra
It appeared we did call update_event_times() on exit, but we failed to update the context time, which renders the former moot. Locking is a bit iffy, we call update_event_times under ctx->mutex instead of ctx->lock - the next patch fixes this.

The functions rcu_init() is a wrapper for __rcu_init(), and also sets up the CPU-hotplug notifier for rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug(). But TINY_RCU doesn't need CPU-hotplug notification, and the rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug() is a simple wrapper for rcu_cpu_notify(). So push rcu_init() out to kernel/rcutree.c and kernel/rcutiny.c and get rid of the wrapper function rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-11-22rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplugPaul E. McKenney
When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-11-22perf_event: Remove redundant zero fillMárton Németh
The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant. The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer, str, sizeof(buffer) ); @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( &buffer, str, sizeof(buffer)); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer->field, str, sizeof(buffer->field) ); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer.field, str, sizeof(buffer.field)); // </smpl> On strncpy() vs strlcpy() see http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html .
