2012-05-09sched/fair: Add some serialization to the sched_domain load-balance walkPeter Zijlstra
Since the sched_domain walk is completely unserialized (!SD_SERIALIZE) it is possible that multiple cpus in the group get elected to do the next level. Avoid this by adding some serialization.

2012-05-09sched/fair: Let minimally loaded cpu balance the groupPeter Zijlstra
Currently we let the leftmost (or first idle) cpu ascend the sched_domain tree and perform load-balancing. The result is that the busiest cpu in the group might be performing this function and pull more load to itself. The next load balance pass will then try to equalize this again. Change this to pick the least loaded cpu to perform higher domain balancing.

2012-05-09sched: Change rq->nr_running to unsigned intPeter Zijlstra
Since there's a PID space limit of 30bits (see futex.h:FUTEX_TID_MASK) and allocating that many tasks (assuming a lower bound of 2 pages per task) would still take 8T of memory it seems reasonable to say that unsigned int is sufficient for rq->nr_running. When we do get anywhere near that amount of tasks I suspect other things would go funny, load-balancer load computations would really need to be hoisted to 128bit etc. So save a few bytes and convert rq->nr_running and friends to unsigned int.

2012-05-09sched: Fix KVM and ia64 boot crash due to sched_groups circular linked list ↵Igor Mammedov
assumption If we have one cpu that failed to boot and boot cpu gave up on waiting for it and then another cpu is being booted, kernel might crash with following OOPS: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: [<ffffffff812c3630>] __bitmap_weight+0x30/0x80 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8108b9b6>] build_sched_domains+0x7b6/0xa50 The crash happens in init_sched_groups_power() that expects sched_groups to be circular linked list. However it is not always true, since sched_groups preallocated in __sdt_alloc are initialized in build_sched_groups and it may exit early if (cpu != cpumask_first(sched_domain_span(sd))) return 0; without initializing sd->groups->next field. Fix bug by initializing next field right after sched_group was allocated.

2012-05-07kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interfaceKay Sievers
Support for multiple concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, with read(), seek(), poll() support. Output of message sequence numbers, to allow userspace log consumers to reliably reconnect and reconstruct their state at any given time. After open("/dev/kmsg"), read() always returns *all* buffered records. If only future messages should be read, SEEK_END can be used. In case records get overwritten while /dev/kmsg is held open, or records get faster overwritten than they are read, the next read() will return -EPIPE and the current reading position gets updated to the next available record. The passed sequence numbers allow the log consumer to calculate the amount of lost messages.

2012-05-07printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record bufferKay Sievers
- Record-based stream instead of the traditional byte stream buffer. All records carry a 64 bit timestamp, the syslog facility and priority in the record header. - Records consume almost the same amount, sometimes less memory than the traditional byte stream buffer (if printk_time is enabled). The record header is 16 bytes long, plus some padding bytes at the end if needed. The byte-stream buffer needed 3 chars for the syslog prefix, 15 char for the timestamp and a newline. - Buffer management is based on message sequence numbers. When records need to be discarded, the reading heads move on to the next full record. Unlike the byte-stream buffer, no old logged lines get truncated or partly overwritten by new ones. Sequence numbers also allow consumers of the log stream to get notified if any message in the stream they are about to read gets discarded during the time of reading. - Better buffered IO support for KERN_CONT continuation lines, when printk() is called multiple times for a single line. The use of KERN_CONT is now mandatory to use continuation; a few places in the kernel need trivial fixes here. The buffering could possibly be extended to per-cpu variables to allow better thread-safety for multiple printk() invocations for a single line. - Full-featured syslog facility value support. Different facilities can tag their messages. All userspace-injected messages enforce a facility value > 0 now, to be able to reliably distinguish them from the kernel-generated messages. Independent subsystems like a baseband processor running its own firmware, or a kernel-related userspace process can use their own unique facility values. Multiple independent log streams can co-exist that way in the same buffer. All share the same global sequence number counter to ensure proper ordering (and interleaving) and to allow the consumers of the log to reliably correlate the events from different facilities.

2012-05-04genirq: Allow check_wakeup_irqs to notice level-triggered interruptsThomas Gleixner
Level triggered interrupts do not cause IRQS_PENDING to be set when they fire while "disabled" as the 'pending' state is always present in the level - they automatically refire where re-enabled. However the IRQS_PENDING flag is also used to abort a suspend cycle - if any 'is_wakeup_set' interrupt is PENDING, check_wakeup_irqs() will cause suspend to abort. Without IRQS_PENDING, suspend won't abort. Consequently, level-triggered interrupts that fire during the 'noirq' phase of suspend do not currently abort suspend. So set IRQS_PENDING even for level triggered interrupts, and make sure to clear the flag in check_irq_resend.

2012-05-03userns: Store uid and gid values in struct cred with kuid_t and kgid_t typesEric W. Biederman
cred.h and a few trivial users of struct cred are changed. The rest of the users of struct cred are left for other patches as there are too many changes to make in one go and leave the change reviewable. If the user namespace is disabled and CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS are disabled the code will contiue to compile and behave correctly.

As a first step to converting struct cred to be all kuid_t and kgid_t values convert the group values stored in group_info to always be kgid_t values. Unless user namespaces are used this change should have no effect. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2012-05-02rcu: Make exit_rcu() more precise and consolidatePaul E. McKenney
When running preemptible RCU, if a task exits in an RCU read-side critical section having blocked within that same RCU read-side critical section, the task must be removed from the list of tasks blocking a grace period (perhaps the current grace period, perhaps the next grace period, depending on timing). The exit() path invokes exit_rcu() to do this cleanup. However, the current implementation of exit_rcu() needlessly does the cleanup even if the task did not block within the current RCU read-side critical section, which wastes time and needlessly increases the size of the state space. Fix this by only doing the cleanup if the current task is actually on the list of tasks blocking some grace period. While we are at it, consolidate the two identical exit_rcu() functions into a single function. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-05-02rcu: Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocationPaul E. McKenney
Currently, PREEMPT_RCU readers are enqueued upon entry to the scheduler. This is inefficient because enqueuing is required only if there is a context switch, and entry to the scheduler does not guarantee a context switch. The commit therefore moves the enqueuing to immediately precede the call to switch_to() from the scheduler. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Add user space interface for manipulating wakeup sources, v3Rafael J. Wysocki
Android allows user space to manipulate wakelocks using two sysfs file located in /sys/power/, wake_lock and wake_unlock. Writing a wakelock name and optionally a timeout to the wake_lock file causes the wakelock whose name was written to be acquired (it is created before is necessary), optionally with the given timeout. Writing the name of a wakelock to wake_unlock causes that wakelock to be released. Implement an analogous interface for user space using wakeup sources. Add the /sys/power/wake_lock and /sys/power/wake_unlock files allowing user space to create, activate and deactivate wakeup sources, such that writing a name and optionally a timeout to wake_lock causes the wakeup source of that name to be activated, optionally with the given timeout. If that wakeup source doesn't exist, it will be created and then activated. Writing a name to wake_unlock causes the wakeup source of that name, if there is one, to be deactivated. Wakeup sources created with the help of wake_lock that haven't been used for more than 5 minutes are garbage collected and destroyed. Moreover, there can be only WL_NUMBER_LIMIT wakeup sources created with the help of wake_lock present at a time. The data type used to track wakeup sources created by user space is called "struct wakelock" to indicate the origins of this feature. This version of the patch includes an rbtree manipulation fix from John Stultz. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Add "prevent autosleep time" statistics to wakeup sourcesRafael J. Wysocki
Android uses one wakelock statistics that is only necessary for opportunistic sleep. Namely, the prevent_suspend_time field accumulates the total time the given wakelock has been locked while "automatic suspend" was enabled. Add an analogous field, prevent_sleep_time, to wakeup sources and make it behave in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Implement opportunistic sleep, v2Rafael J. Wysocki
Introduce a mechanism by which the kernel can trigger global transitions to a sleep state chosen by user space if there are no active wakeup sources. It consists of a new sysfs attribute, /sys/power/autosleep, that can be written one of the strings returned by reads from /sys/power/state, an ordered workqueue and a work item carrying out the "suspend" operations. If a string representing the system's sleep state is written to /sys/power/autosleep, the work item triggering transitions to that state is queued up and it requeues itself after every execution until user space writes "off" to /sys/power/autosleep. That work item enables the detection of wakeup events using the functions already defined in drivers/base/power/wakeup.c (with one small modification) and calls either pm_suspend(), or hibernate() to put the system into a sleep state. If a wakeup event is reported while the transition is in progress, it will abort the transition and the "system suspend" work item will be queued up again. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-01PM / Hibernate: Hibernate/thaw fixes/improvementsBojan Smojver
1. Do not allocate memory for buffers from emergency pools, unless absolutely required. Do not warn about and do not retry non-essential failed allocations. 2. Do not check the amount of free pages left on every single page write, but wait until one map is completely populated and then check. 3. Set maximum number of pages for read buffering consistently, instead of inadvertently depending on the size of the sector type. 4. Fix copyright line, which I missed when I submitted the hibernation threading patch. 5. Dispense with bit shifting arithmetic to improve readability. 6. Really recalculate the number of pages required to be free after all allocations have been done. 7. Fix calculation of pages required for read buffering. Only count in pages that do not belong to high memory. Signed-off-by: Bojan Smojver <bojan@rexursive.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2012-05-01rcu: Ensure that RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timers expire on correct CPUPaul E. McKenney
Timers are subject to migration, which can lead to the following system-hang scenario when CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y: 1. CPU 0 executes synchronize_rcu(), which posts an RCU callback. 2. CPU 0 then goes idle. It cannot immediately invoke the callback, but there is nothing RCU needs from ti, so it enters dyntick-idle mode after posting a timer. 3. The timer gets migrated to CPU 1. 4. CPU 0 never wakes up, so the synchronize_rcu() never returns, so the system hangs. This commit fixes this problem by using mod_timer_pinned(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, to ensure that the timer is actually posted on the running CPU.
