2009-06-25x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI errorKurt Garloff
This patch introduces a new sysctl: /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi which defaults to 0 (off). When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI caused by an IO error. The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice, so one can figure out what's causing the IO error. This could be especially important to companies running IO intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a bank's databases.

2009-06-25perf_counter: Rework the sample ABIPeter Zijlstra
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information. Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type. This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

2009-06-25perf_counter: Implement more accurate per task statisticsPeter Zijlstra
With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the possibility to provide accurate counter values for individual tasks in a task hierarchy. However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar counter contexts our current per task counts are way off. In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active counters and flip the values between the contexts. This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram the full PMU.

2009-06-24futex: Fix the write access fault problem for realThomas Gleixner
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

2009-06-24timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function callsHeiko Carstens
When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some fields in the corresponding struct timer_list. So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info when timer stats are disabled. In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

2009-06-23Audit: dereferencing krule as if it were an audit_watchEric Paris
audit_update_watch() runs all of the rules for a given watch and duplicates them, attaches a new watch to them, and then when it finishes that process and has called free on all of the old rules (ok maybe still inside the rcu grace period) it proceeds to use the last element from list_for_each_entry_safe() as if it were a krule rather than being the audit_watch which was anchoring the list to output a message about audit rules changing. This patch unfies the audit message from two different places into a helper function and calls it from the correct location in audit_update_rules().

When an audit watch is added to a parent the temporary watch inside the original krule from userspace is freed. Yet the original watch is used after the real watch was created in audit_add_rules() Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-06-23perf_counter: Optimize perf_counter_alloc()'s inherit casePeter Zijlstra
We don't need to add usage counts for swcounter and attr usage models for inherited counters since the parent counter will always have one, which suffices to generate the needed output. This avoids up to 3 global atomic increments per inherited counter. LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-06-23perf_counter: Push inherit into perf_counter_alloc()Peter Zijlstra
Teach perf_counter_alloc() about inheritance so that we can optimize the inherit path in the next patch. Remove the child_counter->atrr.inherit = 1 line because the only way to get there is if parent_counter->attr.inherit == 1 and we copy the attrs.

2009-06-23perf_counter: Optimize perf_swcounter_event()Peter Zijlstra
Similar to tracepoints, use an enable variable to reduce overhead when unused. Only look for a counter of a particular event type when we know there is at least one in the system.

2009-06-22mm/init: cpu_hotplug_init() must be initialized before SLABLinus Torvalds
SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring boot in SLAB due to doing that too late. Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others). Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt. This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and removing one unnecessary special initcall.
