2008-11-24sched: avoid stack var in move_task_off_dead_cpuRusty Russell
Impact: stack usage reduction With some care, we can avoid needing a temporary cpumask (we can't really allocate here, since we can't fail). This version calls cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() with the task_rq_lock held. I'm fairly sure this works, but there might be a deadlock hiding. And of course, we can't get rid of the last cpumask on stack until we can use cpumask_of_node instead of node_to_cpumask.

2008-11-24sched: convert sys_sched_getaffinity() to cpumask_var_t.Rusty Russell
Impact: stack usage reduction Dynamically allocating cpumasks (when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) saves space in the stack. cpumask_var_t is just a struct cpumask for !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. Some jiggling here to make sure we always exit at the bottom (so we hit the free_cpumask_var there). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-24sched: convert rebalance_domains() to cpumask_var_t.Rusty Russell

2008-11-24sched: convert nohz struct to cpumask_var_t.Rusty Russell
Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS. Dynamically allocating cpumasks (when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) saves space for small nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS. cpumask_var_t is just a struct cpumask for !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

2008-11-24sched: convert struct root_domain to cpumask_var_t.Rusty Russell
Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS. Dynamically allocating cpumasks (when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) saves space for small nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS. cpumask_var_t is just a struct cpumask for !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. def_root_domain is static, and so its masks are initialized with alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var. After that, alloc_cpumask_var is used. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-24sched: convert struct sched_group/sched_domain cpumask_ts to variable bitmapsRusty Russell
Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS. We move the 'cpumask' member of sched_group to the end, so when we kmalloc it we can do a minimal allocation: saves space for small nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Similar trick for 'span' in sched_domain. This isn't quite as good as converting to a cpumask_var_t, as some sched_groups are actually static, but it's safer: we don't have to figure out where to call alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var.

2008-11-24sched: wrap sched_group and sched_domain cpumask accesses.Rusty Russell
Impact: trivial wrap of member accesses This eases the transition in the next patch. We also get rid of a temporary cpumask in find_idlest_cpu() thanks to for_each_cpu_and, and sched_balance_self() due to getting weight before setting sd to NULL.

2008-11-24sched: remove any_online_cpu()Rusty Russell
Impact: use new API any_online_cpu() is a good name, but it takes a cpumask_t, not a pointer. There are several places where any_online_cpu() doesn't really want a mask arg at all. Replace all callers with cpumask_any() and cpumask_any_and().

2008-11-24sched: convert sched.c from for_each_cpu_mask to for_each_cpu.Rusty Russell
Impact: trivial API conversion This is a simple conversion, but note that for_each_cpu() terminates with i >= nr_cpu_ids, not i == NR_CPUS like for_each_cpu_mask() did. I don't convert all of them: sd->span changes in a later patch, so change those iterators there rather than here.

2008-11-23x86, mmiotrace: fix buffer overrun detectionPekka Paalanen
Impact: fix mmiotrace overrun tracing When ftrace framework moved to use the ring buffer facility, the buffer overrun detection was broken after 2.6.27 by commit | commit 3928a8a2d98081d1bc3c0a84a2d70e29b90ecf1c | Author: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> | Date: Mon Sep 29 23:02:41 2008 -0400 | | ftrace: make work with new ring buffer | | This patch ports ftrace over to the new ring buffer. The detection is now fixed by using the ring buffer API. When mmiotrace detects a buffer overrun, it will report the number of lost events. People reading an mmiotrace log must know if something was missed, otherwise the data may not make sense.

2008-11-23trace: fix compiler warning in branch profilerSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix compiler warning The ftrace_pointers used in the branch profiler are constant values. They should never change. But the compiler complains when they are passed into the debugfs_create_file as a data pointer, because the function discards the qualifier. This patch typecasts the parameter to debugfs_create_file back to a void pointer. To remind the callbacks that they are pointing to a constant value, I also modified the callback local pointers to be const struct ftrace_pointer * as well.

2008-11-23ftrace: add ftrace_off_permanentSteven Rostedt
Impact: add new API to disable all of ftrace on anomalies It case of a serious anomaly being detected (like something caught by lockdep) it is a good idea to disable all tracing immediately, without grabing any locks. This patch adds ftrace_off_permanent that disables the tracers, function tracing and ring buffers without a way to enable them again. This should only be used when something serious has been detected. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-23ring-buffer: add tracing_off_permanentSteven Rostedt
Impact: feature to permanently disable ring buffer This patch adds a API to the ring buffer code that will permanently disable the ring buffer from ever recording. This should only be called when some serious anomaly is detected, and the system may be in an unstable state. When that happens, shutting down the recording to the ring buffers may be appropriate.

Impact: cleanup on output of branch profiler When a branch has not been taken, it does not make sense to show a percentage incorrect or hit.

So revert these two commits: f42ac38c5 "ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram" 41108eb10 "ftrace: disable tracing for hibernation" This should be tested very carefully, as it could interact with altneratives instruction patching, etc. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-23tracing: identify which executable object the userspace address belongs toTörök Edwin
Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map, but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is unlikely. Example usage: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace& .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled cat /tmp/trace You'll see stack entries like: /lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370] You can convert them to function/line using: addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370 Or: addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370 For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work: a.out[+0x73b] You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b (where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out) Signed-off-by: Török Edwin <edwintorok@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-23tracing/function-return-tracer: store return stack into task_struct and ↵Frederic Weisbecker
allocate it dynamically Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses to the stack. So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current only when the tracer is activated. Typical scheme when tracer is activated: - allocate a return stack for each task in global list. - fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task - exit: free return stack of current - idle init: same as fork I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-21sched: update comment for move_task_off_dead_cpuVegard Nossum
Impact: cleanup This commit: commit f7b4cddcc5aca03e80e357360c9424dfba5056c2 Author: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Date: Tue Oct 16 23:30:56 2007 -0700 do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(ta Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account. Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist). ...forgot to update the comment in front of move_task_off_dead_cpu.
