2007-08-09sched: mark print_cfs_stats staticJosh Triplett
sched_fair.c defines print_cfs_stats, and sched_debug.c uses it, but sched.c includes both sched_fair.c and sched_debug.c, so all the references to print_cfs_stats occur in the same compilation unit. Thus, mark print_cfs_stats static. Eliminates a sparse warning: warning: symbol 'print_cfs_stats' was not declared. Should it be static?

2007-08-09sched: simplify move_tasks()Peter Williams
The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct capabilities: 1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run queue to another; and 2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to another. The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance() and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken. The second capability is used in exactly one place, active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure. This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()). However, the new modular design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted and this patch addresses that solution by: 1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by active_load_balance(); and 2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task() or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance() moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer from the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations. Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair() so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted). NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even small reductions in overhead are worthwhile. [ mingo@elte.hu ] this change also reduces code size nicely: text data bss dec hex filename 39216 3618 24 42858 a76a sched.o.before 39173 3618 24 42815 a73f sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-09sched: reorder update_cpu_load(rq) with the ->task_tick() callIngo Molnar
Peter Williams suggested to flip the order of update_cpu_load(rq) with the ->task_tick() call. This is a NOP for the current scheduler (the two functions are independent of each other), ->task_tick() might create some state for update_cpu_load() in the future (or in PlugSched).

2007-08-03Kill some obsolete sub-thread-ptrace stuffOleg Nesterov
There is a couple of subtle checks which were needed to handle ptracing from the same thread group. This was deprecated a long ago, imho this code just complicates the understanding. And, the "->parent->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT" check in exit_notify() is not right. SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT can mean exec(), not exit_group(). This means ptracer can lose a ptraced zombie on exec(). Minor problem, but still the bug.

2007-08-02[PATCH] sched: tidy up left over smpnice codePeter Williams
1. The only place that RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() is used is in the call to move_tasks() in the function active_load_balance() and its purpose here is just to make sure that the load to be moved is big enough to ensure that exactly one task is moved (if there's one available). This can be accomplished by using ULONG_MAX instead and this allows RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted. 2. This, in turn, allows PRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted. 3. This allows load_weight() to be deleted which allows TIME_SLICE_NICE_ZERO to be deleted along with the comment above it.

2007-08-01genirq: temporary fix for level-triggered IRQ resendThomas Gleixner
Marcin Slusarz reported a ne2k-pci "hung network interface" regression. delayed disable relies on the ability to re-trigger the interrupt in the case that a real interrupt happens after the software disable was set. In this case we actually disable the interrupt on the hardware level _after_ it occurred. On enable_irq, we need to re-trigger the interrupt. On i386 this relies on a hardware resend mechanism (send_IPI_self()). Actually we only need the resend for edge type interrupts. Level type interrupts come back once enable_irq() re-enables the interrupt line. I assume that the interrupt in question is level triggered because it is shared and above the legacy irqs 0-15: 17: 12 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth1, eth0 Looking into the IO_APIC code, the resend via send_IPI_self() happens unconditionally. So the resend is done for level and edge interrupts. This makes the problem more mysterious. The code in question lib8390.c does disable_irq(); fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware() enable_irq(); The fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware() might cause interrupts, which are cleared in the same code path again, Marcin found that when he disables the irq line on the hardware level (removing the delayed disable) the card is kept alive. So the difference is that we can get a resend on enable_irq, when an interrupt happens during the time, where we are in the disabled region.

2007-07-31Fix a use after free bug in kernel->userspace relay file supportJesper Juhl
Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable after it has been freed. The problem is in kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf() If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code : free_buf: relay_destroy_buf(buf); <--- calls kfree() on 'buf'. free_name: kfree(tmpname); end: return buf; <-- use after free of 'buf'. I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to me). The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the problem. The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while I was at it. Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x16910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'kthreadd' and 'init_waitqueue_head') comes because kernel/kthread.c:kthreadd() is not __init but calls kthreadd_setup() which is __init. But this is ok, because kthreadd_setup() is only ever called at init time, and then kthreadd() proceeds into its "for (;;)" loop. We could mark kthreadd __init_refok, but kthreadd_setup() with just one callsite and 4 lines in it (it's been that small since 10ab825bdef8df51) doesn't need to be a separate function at all -- so let's just move those four lines at beginning of kthreadd() itself.

2007-07-29Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND for suspend-to-Ram and standbyRafael J. Wysocki
Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND representing the ability to enter system sleep states, such as the ACPI S3 state, and allow the user to choose SUSPEND and HIBERNATION independently of each other. Make HOTPLUG_CPU be selected automatically if SUSPEND or HIBERNATION has been chosen and the kernel is intended for SMP systems. Also, introduce CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which is automatically selected if CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set and use it to select the code needed for both suspend and hibernation. The top-level power management headers and the ACPI code related to suspend and hibernation are modified to use the new definitions (the changes in drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c are, mostly, moving code to reduce the number of ifdefs). There are many other files in which CONFIG_PM can be replaced with CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or even with CONFIG_SUSPEND, but they can be updated in the future. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-25Cache xtime every call to update_wall_timejohn stultz
This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a 'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick. IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or 'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the seconds field).

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace) Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the following: main() { while (1) if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0; } This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this. Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old 'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

2007-07-22[PATCH] get rid of AVC_PATH postponed treatmentAl Viro
Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH records when audit is disabled. I must admit my stupidity - I assumed that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held). Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way. It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those. Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations, kmalloc() in there is not a problem. IOW, the simple fix is sufficient: let's rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main record. It's trivial to do.

The sanity check in audit_match_class() is wrong. We are able to audit 2048 syscalls but in audit_match_class() we were accidentally using sizeof(_u32) instead of number of bits in _u32 when deciding how many syscalls were valid. On ia64 in particular we were hitting syscall numbers over the (wrong) limit of 256. Fixing the audit_match_class check takes care of the problem.
