Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
Solution:
1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have
two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
lock for kretporbe object.
2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent
deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
lock.
3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
table.
Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.
The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

We're calling request_irq() with a IRQs disabled.
No straightforward fix exists because we want to
enable these IRQs and setup state atomically before
getting into the IRQ handler the first time.
What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be
automatically enabled by request_irq(). Then we
make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the
LDC channel.
This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally
under the LDC channel lock any more.
Bump LDC version and release date.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Adrian Bunk reported that enabling 4MB page size breaks the build.
The problem is that MAX_ORDER combined with the page shift exceeds the
SECTION_SIZE_BITS we use in asm-sparc64/sparsemem.h
There are several ways I suppose we could work around this. For one
we could define a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER to decrease MAX_ORDER in
these higher page size cases.
But I also know that these page size cases are broken wrt. TLB miss
handling especially on pre-hypervisor systems, and there isn't an easy
way to fix that.
These options were meant to be fun experimental hacks anyways, and
only 8K and 64K make any sense to support.
So remove 512K and 4M base page size support. Of course, we still
support these page sizes for huge pages.

This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In
addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient
manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single()
for calling a given function on a single CPU only.
The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of
changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has
contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to
Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for reviewing RCU usage
and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.

Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

Now that ftrace is being ported to other architectures, it has become
apparent that DYNAMIC_FTRACE is dependent on whether or not that
architecture implements dynamic ftrace. FTRACE itself may be ported to
an architecture without porting dynamic ftrace.
This patch adds HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE to allow architectures to port ftrace
without having to also port the dynamic aspect as well.

When we fully commit to returning back to kernel mode from
a trap, zero out the regs->magic value to prevent false
positives during stack backtraces.

The offset to the pt_regs area was wrong, so we weren't
looking at the right location for the magic cookie.
A trap frame is composed of a "struct sparc_stackf" then
a "struct pt_regs", the code was using "struct reg_window"
instead of "struct sparc_stackf".

Because of the silly way I set up the initial stack for
new kernel threads, there is a loop at the top of the
stack.
To fix this, properly add another stack frame that is copied
from the parent and terminate it in the child by setting
the frame pointer in that frame to zero.

When a cpu really is stuck in the kernel, it can be often
impossible to figure out which cpu is stuck where. The
worst case is when the stuck cpu has interrupts disabled.
Therefore, implement a global cpu state capture that uses
SMP message interrupts which are not disabled by the
normal IRQ enable/disable APIs of the kernel.
As long as we can get a sysrq 'y' to the kernel, we can
get a dump. Even if the console interrupt cpu is wedged,
we can trigger it from userspace using /proc/sysrq-trigger
The output is made compact so that this facility is more
useful on high cpu count systems, which is where this
facility will likely find itself the most useful :)
