2009-04-12blktrace: fix output of BLK_TC_PC eventsLi Zefan
BLK_TC_PC events should be treated differently with BLK_TC_FS events.

2009-04-10x86, function-graph: only save return values on x86_64Steven Rostedt
Impact: speed up The return to handler portion of the function graph tracer should only need to save the return values. The caller already saved off the registers that the callee can modify. The returning function already saved the registers it modified. When we call our own trace function it too will save the registers that the callee must restore. There's no reason to save off anything more that the registers used to return the values. Note, I did a complete kernel build with this modification and the function graph tracer running on x86_64.

2009-04-10tracing/lockdep: report the time waited for a lockFrederic Weisbecker
While trying to optimize the new lock on reiserfs to replace the bkl, I find the lock tracing very useful though it lacks something important for performance (and latency) instrumentation: the time a task waits for a lock. That's what this patch implements: bash-4816 [000] 202.652815: lock_contended: lock_contended: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key bash-4816 [000] 202.652819: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us) <...>-4787 [000] 202.652825: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us) <...>-4787 [000] 202.652829: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us) bash-4816 [000] 202.652833: lock_acquired: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key (16.005 us) As shown above, the "lock acquired" field is followed by the time it has been waiting for the lock. Usually, a lock contended entry is followed by a near lock_acquired entry with a non-zero time waited.

2009-04-10tracing: fix splice return too largeLai Jiangshan
I got these from strace: splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 16384 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192 I wanted to splice_read 4096 bytes, but it returns 8192 or larger. It is because the return value of tracing_buffers_splice_read() does not include "zero out any left over data" bytes. But tracing_buffers_read() includes these bytes, we make them consistent.

Impact: Cleanup These two lines: if (unlikely(*ppos)) return -ESPIPE; in tracing_buffers_splice_read() are not needed, VFS layer has disabled seek(2).

Impact: disable pread() We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek, but we can still perform pread() to read this file. That is not expected. This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it. tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek, it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2): ERRORS EINVAL Target file system doesn't support splicing; neither of the descriptors refers to a pipe; or offset given for non-seekable device.

2009-04-09keys: Handle there being no fallback destination keyring for request_key()David Howells
When request_key() is called, without there being any standard process keyrings on which to fall back if a destination keyring is not specified, an oops is liable to occur when construct_alloc_key() calls down_write() on dest_keyring's semaphore. Due to function inlining this may be seen as an oops in down_write() as called from request_key_and_link(). This situation crops up during boot, where request_key() is called from within the kernel (such as in CIFS mounts) where nobody is actually logged in, and so PAM has not had a chance to create a session keyring and user keyrings to act as the fallback. To fix this, make construct_alloc_key() not attempt to cache a key if there is no fallback key if no destination keyring is given specifically.

2009-04-09sched: do not count frozen tasks toward loadNathan Lynch
Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in uninterruptible sleep (D state). Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the load average when making decisions. If a cgroup is frozen, the load average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization to such applications. This is especially inconvenient if the job scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low priority jobs. Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose: the stopped tasks do not count toward system load. Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is frozen. This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets users' expectations.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file, especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher level headers. Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

2009-04-09work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demandAndrew Morton
Impact: circular locking bugfix The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu() are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some form. Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock. Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu() invokation. This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is pci_call_probe(). It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu() altogether. The code there is rather nasty. I can't think of anything simple at this time... Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-04-09dm kcopyd: fix callback raceMikulas Patocka
If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue. dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn() Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside pending_complete() / remove_exception(). This patch fixes two problems: 1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above). - Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread. 2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors. - Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits (it is done already in run_complete_job) Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2009-04-09dm: implement basic barrier supportMikulas Patocka
Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order. The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and waits for it. (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with following requests.) Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once. For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when sending it to the underlying device. This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before barriers were supported in dm. Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.

2009-04-09dm: remove dm_request loopMikulas Patocka
Remove queue_io return value and a loop in dm_request. IO may be submitted to a worker thread with queue_io(). queue_io() sets DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD so that all further IO is queued for the thread. When the thread finishes its work, it clears DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD and from this point on, requests are submitted from dm_request again. This will be used for processing barriers. Remove the loop in dm_request. queue_io() can submit I/Os to the worker thread even if DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD was not set.

2009-04-09cap_prctl: don't set error to 0 at 'no_change'Serge E. Hallyn
One-liner: capsh --print is broken without this patch. In certain cases, cap_prctl returns error > 0 for success. However, the 'no_change' label was always setting error to 0. As a result, for example, 'prctl(CAP_BSET_READ, N)' would always return 0. It should return 1 if a process has N in its bounding set (as by default it does). I'm keeping the no_change label even though it's now functionally the same as 'error'.
