2008-04-25[PATCH] sanitize unshare_files/reset_files_structAl Viro
* let unshare_files() give caller the displaced files_struct * don't bother with grabbing reference only to drop it in the caller if it hadn't been shared in the first place * in that form unshare_files() is trivially implemented via unshare_fd(), so we eliminate the duplicate logics in fork.c * reset_files_struct() is not just only called for current; it will break the system if somebody ever calls it for anything else (we can't modify ->files of somebody else). Lose the task_struct * argument. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-04-25[PATCH] sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()Al Viro
* unshare_files() can fail; doing it after irreversible actions is wrong and de_thread() is certainly irreversible. * since we do it unconditionally anyway, we might as well do it in do_execve() and save ourselves the PITA in binfmt handlers, etc. * while we are at it, binfmt_som actually leaked files_struct on failure. As a side benefit, unshare_files(), put_files_struct() and reset_files_struct() become unexported. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-04-25sched: fix share (re)distributionPeter Zijlstra
fix __aggregate_redistribute_shares() related lockup reported by David S. Miller. The problem this code tries to solve is 'accurately' calculating the 'fair' share of the group weight for each cpu. The current code falls back to a global group rebalance in case the sched_domain's span it looks at has no shares, but does have tasks. The reason it gets stuck here, is because its inherently racy - if someone steals the last task after we compute the agg->rq_weight, but before we rebalance, we'll never get out of the loop. We could of course go fix that, but while looking at this issue I found that this 'fallback' wasn't nearly as rare as I'd hoped it to be. In fact its quite common - and given it walks the whole machine, thats very bad. The new approach is simple (why didn't I think of it before?), we set the aggregate shares to the full task group weight, and each larger sched domain that encounters an aggregate shares larger than the weight, clips it (it already re-distributes anyway). This nicely converges to the desired global picture where the sum of all shares equals the task group weight.

2008-04-21ptrace: compat_ptrace_request siginfoRoland McGrath
This adds support for PTRACE_GETSIGINFO and PTRACE_SETSIGINFO in compat_ptrace_request. It relies on existing arch definitions for copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_from_user32. On powerpc, this fixes a longstanding regression of 32-bit ptrace calls on 64-bit kernels vs native calls (64-bit calls or 32-bit kernels). This can be seen in a 32-bit call using PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to examine e.g. siginfo_t.si_addr from a signal that sets it. (This was broken as of 2.6.24 and, I presume, many or all prior versions.)

The previous optimization did not take the case into account where a clock provides its own softirq_get_time() function.

2008-04-21hrtimer: reduce calls to hrtimer_get_softirq_time()Dimitri Sivanich
It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more often than it needs to. This can cause frequent contention on systems with large numbers of processors/cores. With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once. This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue() into one function.

In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit. A / \ B 1 / \ 2 3 To compute 1's load we do: weight(1) -------------- rq_weight(A) To compute 2's load we do: weight(2) weight(B) ------------ * ----------- rq_weight(B) rw_weight(A) This yields load fractions in comparable units. The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have: time_{i} vtime_{i} = ------------ weight_{i} vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.

2008-04-19sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group schedulingPeter Zijlstra
Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy. On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up. After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load. Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP paper. XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small enough, we'll run out of bits.

This patch allows tasks and groups to exist in the same cfs_rq. With this change the CFS group scheduling follows a 1/(M+N) model from a 1/(1+N) fairness model where M tasks and N groups exist at the cfs_rq level.

2008-04-19sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr functionMike Travis
Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask argument. int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask) The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above but this does not result in an ABI change. And with some compiler optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead. Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the "const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed. This silences compiler warnings.

2008-04-19init: move setup of nr_cpu_ids to as early as possibleMike Travis
Move the setting of nr_cpu_ids from sched_init() to start_kernel() so that it's available as early as possible. Note that an arch has the option of setting it even earlier if need be, but it should not result in a different value than the setup_nr_cpu_ids() function.
