2011-04-18next_pidmap: fix overflow conditionLinus Torvalds
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

2011-04-16block: make unplug timer trace event correspond to the schedule() unplugJens Axboe
It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is. It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug) or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO queued). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-04-16block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inlineJens Axboe
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons. The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental" flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd, we should be able to get the best of both worlds. So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd, and only use that from the schedule() path. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

The FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT flag was not getting set, causing the restart_block to restart futex_wait() without a timeout after a signal. Commit b41277dc7a18ee332d in 2.6.38 introduced the regression by accidentally removing the the FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT assignment from futex_wait() during the setup of the restart block.

2011-04-11PM / Hibernate: Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKSRafael J. Wysocki
Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However, that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that they would never use. To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire hibernate code along with it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2011-04-11sched: Fix erroneous all_pinned logicKen Chen
The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system. This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system. However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned tasks at all. The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level: load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process. Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes attempt to move load onto puller CPU. To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level. This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just last one in the list.

2011-04-11sched: Fix sched-domain avg_load calculationKen Chen
In function find_busiest_group(), the sched-domain avg_load isn't calculated at all if there is a group imbalance within the domain. This will cause erroneous imbalance calculation. The reason is that calculate_imbalance() sees sds->avg_load = 0 and it will dump entire sds->max_load into imbalance variable, which is used later on to migrate entire load from busiest CPU to the puller CPU. This has two really bad effect: 1. stampede of task migration, and they won't be able to break out of the bad state because of positive feedback loop: large load delta -> heavier load migration -> larger imbalance and the cycle goes on. 2. severe imbalance in CPU queue depth. This causes really long scheduling latency blip which affects badly on application that has tight latency requirement. The fix is to have kernel calculate domain avg_load in both cases. This will ensure that imbalance calculation is always sensible and the target is usually half way between busiest and puller CPU.

2011-04-11perf_event: Fix cgrp event scheduling bug in perf_enable_on_exec()Stephane Eranian
There is a bug in perf_event_enable_on_exec() when cgroup events are active on a CPU: the cgroup events may be scheduled twice causing event state corruptions which eventually may lead to kernel panics. The reason is that the function needs to first schedule out the cgroup events, just like for the per-thread events. The cgroup event are scheduled back in automatically from the perf_event_context_sched_in() function. The patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() is perf_cgroup_switch() to catch any bogus state.

Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue) having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate) that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states, for SCHED_FIFO: "If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the modification, as follows: a. <...> b.

Commit da48524eb206 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict. There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE: - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo() fails with EPERM. - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a() wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define). The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER. As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

2011-03-27genirq: Split irq_set_affinity() so it can be called with lock held.David Daney
The .irq_cpu_online() and .irq_cpu_offline() functions may need to adjust affinity, but they are called with the descriptor lock held. Create __irq_set_affinity_locked() which is called with the lock held. Make irq_set_affinity() just a wrapper that acquires the lock. [ tglx: Changed the argument to irq_data, added a !desc check and moved the !irq_set_affinity check where it belongs ] Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: ralf@linux-mips.org LKML-Reference: <1301081931-11240-4-git-send-email-ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-03-27genirq: Add chip flag for restricting cpu_on/offline callsThomas Gleixner
Add a flag which indicates that the on/offline callback should only be called on enabled interrupts. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-03-27genirq: Add chip hooks for taking CPUs on/off line.David Daney
[ tglx: Removed the enabled argument as this is now available in irq_data ] Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: ralf@linux-mips.org LKML-Reference: <1301081931-11240-3-git-send-email-ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-03-27genirq: Add irq disabled flag to irq_data stateThomas Gleixner
Some irq_chip implementation require to know the disabled state of the interrupt in certain callbacks. Add a state flag and accessor to irq_data. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-03-27genirq: Reserve the irq when calling irq_set_chip()David Daney
The helper macros and functions like for_each_active_irq() don't work unless the irq is in the allocated_irqs set. In the case of !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, instead of forcing all users of the irq infrastructure to explicitly call irq_reserve_irq(), do it for them.
