2012-06-07c/r: prctl: update prctl_set_mm_exe_file() after mm->num_exe_file_vmas removalKonstantin Khlebnikov
A fix for commit b32dfe377102 ("c/r: prctl: add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file"). After removing mm->num_exe_file_vmas kernel keeps mm->exe_file until final mmput(), it never becomes NULL while task is alive. We can check for other mapped files in mm instead of checking mm->num_exe_file_vmas, and mark mm with flag MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED in order to forbid second changing of mm->exe_file.

2012-06-06rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsetsPaul E. McKenney
When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the next wakeup time based on the timer wheels. Only later, when actually entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked. In some cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up. But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup time to be recomputed. This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have no effect. This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake up the CPU soon enough. However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU might stay asleep for a considerable length of time. If that CPU has a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might run very slowly or (in theory) even hang. This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account when programming the CPU's wakeup time. An alternative approach is for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers, but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

2012-06-06rcu: Move RCU_FAST_NO_HZ per-CPU variables to rcu_dynticks structurePaul E. McKenney
The RCU_FAST_NO_HZ code relies on a number of per-CPU variables. This works, but is hidden from someone scanning the data structures in rcutree.h.

2012-06-06rcu: Update RCU_FAST_NO_HZ tracing for lazy callbacksPaul E. McKenney
In the current code, a short dyntick-idle interval (where there is at least one non-lazy callback on the CPU) and a long dyntick-idle interval (where there are only lazy callbacks on the CPU) are traced identically, which can be less than helpful.

2012-06-06rcu: RCU_FAST_NO_HZ detection of callback adoptionPaul E. McKenney
In the present implementations of CPU hotplug, the outgoing CPU is guaranteed to run its stop-machine process on the way out, which will guarantee that RCU_FAST_NO_HZ forces the CPU out of dyntick-idle mode. However, new versions of CPU hotplug might not work this way. This commit therefore removes this design constraint by explicitly notifying CPUs when they adopt non-lazy RCU callbacks.

2012-06-06tracing: Have tracing_off() actually turn tracing offSteven Rostedt
A recent update to have tracing_on/off() only affect the ftrace ring buffers instead of all ring buffers had a cut and paste error. The tracing_off() did the exact same thing as tracing_on() and would not actually turn off tracing. Unfortunately, tracing_off() is more important to be working than tracing_on() as this is a key development tool, as it lets the developer turn off tracing as soon as a problem is discovered. It is also used by panic and oops code. This bug also breaks the 'echo func:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter' Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.4 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

__css_put is using atomic_dec on the ref count, and then looking at the ref count to make decisions. This is prone to races, as someone else may decrement ref count between our decrement and our decision. Instead, we should base our decisions on the value that we decremented the ref count to.

2012-06-06uprobes: Kill uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_idOleg Nesterov
Kill the no longer needed uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_id code. It doesn't really work anyway. synchronize_srcu() can only synchronize with the code "inside" the srcu_read_lock/srcu_read_unlock section, while uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() does srcu_read_lock() _after_ we already hit the breakpoint. I guess this probably works "in practice". synchronize_srcu() is slow and it implies synchronize_sched(), and the probed task enters the non- preemptible section at the start of exception handler. Still this is not right at least in theory, and task->uprobe_srcu_id blows task_struct.

2012-06-06uprobes: Teach handle_swbp() to rely on "is_swbp" rather than uprobes_srcuOleg Nesterov
Currently handle_swbp() assumes that it can't race with unregister, so it roughly does: if (find_uprobe(vaddr)) process_uprobe(); else send_sig(SIGTRAP); This relies on the not-really-working uprobes_srcu code we are going to remove, see the next patch. With this patch we rely on the result of is_swbp_at_addr(bp_vaddr) if find_uprobe() fails. If is_swbp == 1, then we hit the normal int3, we should send SIGTRAP. If is_swbp == 0, we raced with uprobe_unregister(), we simply restart this insn again. The "difficult" case is is_swbp == -EFAULT, when we can't read this memory. In this case I think we should restart too, and this is more correct compared to the current code which sends SIGTRAP. Ignoring ENOMEM/etc from get_user_pages(), this can only happen if another thread unmaps this memory before find_active_uprobe() takes mmap_sem. It would be better to pretend it was unmapped before this insn was executed, restart, and get SIGSEGV.

2012-06-06uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writingOleg Nesterov
Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing. This is a bit unfortunate but hopefully not too bad, this is the slow path anyway. This is needed to ensure that find_active_uprobe() can not race with uprobe_register() which adds the new bp at the same bp_vaddr, after find_uprobe() fails and before is_swbp_at_addr_fast() checks the memory. IOW, this is needed to ensure that if find_active_uprobe() returns NULL but is_swbp == true, we can safely assume that it was the "normal" int3 and we should send SIGTRAP. There is another reason for this change. We are going to replace uprobes_state->count with MMF_ flags set by register/unregister and cleared by find_active_uprobe(), and set/clear shouldn't race with each other.

2012-06-06uprobes: Teach find_active_uprobe() to provide the "is_swbp" infoOleg Nesterov
A separate patch to simplify the review, and for the documentation. The patch adds another "int *is_swbp" argument to find_active_uprobe(), so far its only caller doesn't use this info. With this patch find_active_uprobe() additionally does: - if find_vma() + ->vm_start check fails, *is_swbp = -EFAULT - otherwise, if valid_vma() + find_uprobe() fails, it holds the result of is_swbp_at_addr(), can be negative too. The latter is only possible if we raced with another thread which did munmap/etc after we hit this bp. IOW. If find_active_uprobe(&is_swbp) returns NULL, the caller can look at is_swbp to figure out whether the current insn is bp or not, or detect the race with another thread if it is negative. Note: I think that performance-wise this change is fine. This adds is_swbp_at_addr(), but only if we raced with uprobe_unregister() or if we hit the "normal" int3 but this mm has uprobes as well. And even in this case the slow read_opcode() path is very unlikely, this insn recently triggered do_int3(), __copy_from_user_inatomic() shouldn't fail in the likely case.

2012-06-06uprobes: Introduce find_active_uprobe() helperOleg Nesterov
No functional changes. Move the "find uprobe" code from handle_swbp() to the new helper, find_active_uprobe(). Note: with or without this change, the find-active-uprobe logic is not exactly right. We can race with another thread which unmaps the memory with the valid uprobe before we take mm->mmap_sem. We can't find this uprobe simply because find_vma() fails. In this case we wrongly assume that this trap was not caused by uprobe and send the erroneous SIGTRAP. See the next changes.

Without FOLL_WRITE this doesn't have any "side" effect but allows to read the !VM_READ memory. There is another reason for this change, we are going to use is_swbp_at_addr() from handle_swbp() which can race with another thread doing mprotect().

It does not get processed because sched_domain_level_max is 0 at the time that setup_relax_domain_level() is run.

The build_sched_domain() routine calls the set_domain_attribute() routine prior to setting the sd->level, however, the set_domain_attribute() routine relies on the sd->level to decide whether idle load balancing will be off/on.

2012-06-06sched/numa: Load balance between remote nodesAlex Shi
Commit cb83b629b ("sched/numa: Rewrite the CONFIG_NUMA sched domain support") removed the NODE sched domain and started checking if the node distance in SLIT table is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE, if so, it will lose the load balance chance at exec/fork/wake_affine points. But actually, even the node distance is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE. Modern CPUs also has QPI like connections, which ensures that memory access is not too slow between nodes. So the above change in behavior on NUMA machine causes a performance regression on various benchmarks: hackbench, tbench, netperf, oltp, etc. This patch will recover the scheduler behavior to old mode on all my Intel platforms: NHM EP/EX, WSM EP, SNB EP/EP4S, and thus fixes the perfromance regressions.

2012-06-06timers: Improve get_next_timer_interrupt()Thomas Gleixner
Gilad reported at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1336056962-10465-2-git-send-email-gilad@benyossef.com "Current timer code fails to correctly return a value meaning that there is no future timer event, with the result that the timer keeps getting re-armed in HZ one shot mode even when we could turn it off, generating unneeded interrupts. What is happening is that when __next_timer_interrupt() wishes to return a value that signifies "there is no future timer event", it returns (base->timer_jiffies + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA). However, the code in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(), which called __next_timer_interrupt() via get_next_timer_interrupt(), compares the return value to (last_jiffies + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA) to see if the timer needs to be re-armed. base->timer_jiffies != last_jiffies and so tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() interperts the return value as indication that there is a distant future event 12 days from now and programs the timer to fire next after KTIME_MAX nsecs instead of avoiding to arm it. This ends up causing a needless interrupt once every KTIME_MAX nsecs." Fix this by using the new active timer accounting. This avoids scans when no active timer is enqueued completely, so we don't have to rely on base->timer_next and base->timer_jiffies anymore.

2012-06-06timers: Add accounting of non deferrable timersThomas Gleixner
The code in get_next_timer_interrupt() is suboptimal as it has to run through the cascade to find the next expiring timer. On a completely idle core we should only do that when there is an active timer enqueued and base->next_timer does not give us a fast answer. Add accounting of the active timers to the now consolidated attach/detach code. I deliberately avoided sanity checks because the code is fully symetric and any fiddling with timers w/o using the API functions will lead to cute explosions anyway. ulong is big enough even on 32bit and if we really run into the situation to have more than 1<<32 timers enqueued there, then we are definitely not in a state to go idle and run through that code.

2012-05-31c/r: prctl: add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_fileCyrill Gorcunov
When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would point to the original executable file a process had at checkpoint time. For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced. This option takes a file descriptor which will be set as a source for new /proc/$pid/exe symlink. Note it allows to change /proc/$pid/exe if there are no VM_EXECUTABLE vmas present for current process, simply because this feature is a special to C/R and mm::num_exe_file_vmas become meaningless after that. To minimize the amount of transition the /proc/pid/exe symlink might have, this feature is implemented in one-shot manner. Thus once changed the symlink can't be changed again. This should help sysadmins to monitor the symlinks over all process running in a system. In particular one could make a snapshot of processes and ring alarm if there unexpected changes of /proc/pid/exe's in a system. Note -- this feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set and the caller must have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability granted, otherwise the request to change symlink will be rejected.

2012-05-31c/r: prctl: extend PR_SET_MM to set up more mm_struct entriesCyrill Gorcunov
During checkpoint we dump whole process memory to a file and the dump includes process stack memory. But among stack data itself, the stack carries additional parameters such as command line arguments, environment data and auxiliary vector. So when we do restore procedure and once we've restored stack data itself we need to setup mm_struct::arg_start/end, env_start/end, so restored process would be able to find command line arguments and environment data it had at checkpoint time. The same applies to auxiliary vector. For this reason additional PR_SET_MM_(ARG_START | ARG_END | ENV_START | ENV_END | AUXV) codes are introduced.

2012-05-31syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscallCyrill Gorcunov
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are shared between tasks and restore this state. The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one. One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such info considered to be not that good for security reasons. Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named 'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it -- __NR_kcmp. It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of comparison of files) two file descriptors. Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only. At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

2012-05-31cpu: introduce clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() helperAnton Vorontsov
Many architectures clear tasks' mm_cpumask like this: read_lock(&tasklist_lock); for_each_process(p) { if (p->mm) cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(p->mm)); } read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); Depending on the context, the code above may have several problems, such as: 1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough). 2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a valid mm. This patch implements a small helper function that does things correctly, i.e.: 1. We take the task's lock while whe handle its mm (we can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep); 2. To catch exited main thread case, we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held). Also, Per Peter Zijlstra's idea, now we don't grab tasklist_lock in the new helper, instead we take the rcu read lock. We can do this because the function is called after the cpu is taken down and marked offline, so no new tasks will get this cpu set in their mm mask.
