'contentions' and 'acquisitions' are the number of such events measured (since
the last reset). The waittime- and holdtime- (min, max, total) numbers are
presented in microseconds.
If there are any contention points, the lock class is presented in the block
format (as i_mutex and tree_lock above), otherwise a single line of output is
presented.
The output is sorted on absolute number of contentions (read + write), this
should get the worst offenders presented first, so that:
# grep : /proc/lock_stat | head
will quickly show who's bad.
The stats can be reset using:
# echo 0 > /proc/lock_stat

Introduce the core lock statistics code.
Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.
Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
a too coarse locking scheme.
Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.
1)
lock
2)
... do stuff ..
unlock
3)
The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
hold-time.
The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
for lock instrumentation.
Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:
lock()
lock_acquire()
_lock()
... code protected by lock ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()
We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.
lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
lock_acquired() - completion of the contention
These are then placed the following way:
lock()
lock_acquire()
if (!_try_lock())
lock_contended()
_lock()
lock_acquired()
... do locked stuff ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()
(Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
dependent lock primitive implementations.)
It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:
/proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
(esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

This patch adds an interface to set/reset flags which determines each memory
segment should be dumped or not when a core file is generated.
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter file is provided to access the flags. You can
change the flag status for a particular process by writing to or reading from
the file.
The flag status is inherited to the child process when it is created.

This patch changes mm_struct.dumpable to a pair of bit flags.
set_dumpable() converts three-value dumpable to two flags and stores it into
lower two bits of mm_struct.flags instead of mm_struct.dumpable.
get_dumpable() behaves in the opposite way.

This patch series is version 5 of the core dump masking feature, which
controls which VMAs should be dumped based on their memory types and
per-process flags.
I adopted most of Andrew's suggestion at the previous version. He also
suggested using system call instead of /proc/<pid>/ interface, I decided to
use the latter continuously because adding new system call with pid argument
will give a big impact on the kernel.
You can access the per-process flags via /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter
interface. coredump_filter represents a bitmask of memory types, and if a bit
is set, VMAs of corresponding memory type are written into a core file when
the process is dumped. The bitmask is inherited from the parent process when
a process is created.
The original purpose is to avoid longtime system slowdown when a number of
processes which share a huge shared memory are dumped at the same time. To
achieve this purpose, this patch series adds an ability to suppress dumping
anonymous shared memory for specified processes. In this version, three other
memory types are also supported.
Here are the coredump_filter bits:
bit 0: anonymous private memory
bit 1: anonymous shared memory
bit 2: file-backed private memory
bit 3: file-backed shared memory
The default value of coredump_filter is 0x3. This means the new core dump
routine has the same behavior as conventional behavior by default.
In this version, coredump_filter bits and mm.dumpable are merged into
mm.flags, and it is accessed by atomic bitops.
The supported core file formats are ELF and ELF-FDPIC. ELF has been tested,
but ELF-FDPIC has not been built and tested because I don't have the test
environment.
This patch limits a value of suid_dumpable sysctl to the range of 0 to 2.

Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.
We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.
It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call. Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to
copy it, we can just grab it from there.
In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.
Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet. So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit,
but only when execve auditing is enabled.
If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once
wrote code like this:
struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };
And then his kernel exploded. Oops.
This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.
We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

preparing the system to power off (needed by ACPI).
This allows us to drop acpi_sysclass and device_acpi that are only defined in
order to register the ACPI power off preparation callback, which is needed by
pm_power_off() registered in a much different way.

At present, if a user mode helper is running while
usermodehelper_pm_callback() is executed, the helper may be frozen and the
completion in call_usermodehelper_exec() won't be completed until user
space processes are thawed. As a result, the freezing of kernel threads
may fail, which is not desirable.
Prevent this from happening by introducing a counter of running user mode
helpers and allowing usermodehelper_pm_callback() to succeed for action =
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE or action = PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE only if there are no
helpers running. [Namely, usermodehelper_pm_callback() waits for at most
RUNNING_HELPERS_TIMEOUT for the number of running helpers to become zero
and fails if that doesn't happen.]

Kernel threads should not have TIF_FREEZE set when user space processes are
being frozen, since otherwise some of them might be frozen prematurely.
To prevent this from happening we can (1) make exit_mm() unset TIF_FREEZE
unconditionally just after clearing tsk->mm and (2) make try_to_freeze_tasks()
check if p->mm is different from zero and PF_BORROWED_MM is unset in p->flags
when user space processes are to be frozen.
Namely, when user space processes are being frozen, we only should set
TIF_FREEZE for tasks that have p->mm different from NULL and don't have
PF_BORROWED_MM set in p->flags. For this reason task_lock() must be used to
prevent try_to_freeze_tasks() from racing with use_mm()/unuse_mm(), in which
p->mm and p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM are changed under task_lock(p). Also, we
need to prevent the following scenario from happening:
* daemonize() is called by a task spawned from a user space code path
* freezer checks if the task has p->mm set and the result is positive
* task enters exit_mm() and clears its TIF_FREEZE
* freezer sets TIF_FREEZE for the task
* task calls try_to_freeze() and goes to the refrigerator, which is wrong at
that point
This requires us to acquire task_lock(p) before p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM and
p->mm are examined and release it after TIF_FREEZE is set for p (or it turns
out that TIF_FREEZE should not be set).

During hibernation we call hibernation_ops->prepare() before creating the image,
but then, before saving it, we cancel the power transition by calling
hibernation_ops->finish(). Thus prior to calling hibernation_ops->enter() we
should let the platform firmware know that we're going to enter the low power
state after all.

Change the code ordering so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is called after
device_suspend(). This is needed so that we don't violate the ACPI
specification, which states that the _PTS and _GTS system-control methods,
executed from acpi_sleep_prepare(), ought to be called after devices have been
put in low power states.
The "Finish" label in hibernation_restore() is moved, because device_suspend()
resumes devices if the suspending of them fails and the restore code ordering
should reflect the hibernation code ordering.

At least on some machines it is necessary to prepare the ACPI firmware for the
restoration of the system memory state from the hibernation image if the
"platform" mode of hibernation has been used. Namely, in that cases we need
to disable the GPEs before replacing the "boot" kernel with the "frozen"
kernel (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887). After the
restore they will be re-enabled by hibernation_ops->finish(), but if the
restore fails, they have to be re-enabled by the restore code explicitly.
For this purpose we can introduce two additional hibernation operations,
called pre_restore() and restore_cleanup() and call them from the restore code
path. Still, they should be called if the "platform" mode of hibernation has
been used, so we need to pass the information about the hibernation mode from
the "frozen" kernel to the "boot" kernel in the image header.
Apparently, we can't drop the disabling of GPEs before the restore because of
Bug #7887 . We also can't do it unconditionally, because the GPEs wouldn't
have been enabled after a successful restore if the suspend had been done in
the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' mode.
In principle we could (and probably should) unconditionally disable the GPEs
before each snapshot creation *and* before the restore, but then we'd have to
unconditionally enable them after the snapshot creation as well as after the
restore (or restore failure) Still, for this purpose we'd need to modify
acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep() and acpi_leave_sleep_state() and we'd have to
introduce some mechanism synchronizing the disablind/enabling of the GPEs with
the device drivers' .suspend()/.resume() routines and with
disable_/enable_nonboot_cpus(). However, this would have affected the

Currently, much of the code in kernel/power/disk.c is duplicated in
kernel/power/user.c , mainly for historical reasons. By eliminating this code
duplication we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove
the maintenance difficulty resulting from it.

In the face of the recent change of suspend code ordering (cf.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=117938245931603&w=2) we should also modify
the code ordering in swsusp so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is executed
after device_suspend().
However, for this purpose it seems reasonable to eliminate the code
duplication between kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c first. By
eliminating it we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove
the maintenance difficulty with making essentially the same changes in two
different places.
Moreover, we should also remove the calls to "platform" functions from the
restore code path, since it doesn't carry out any power transition of the
system, but we generally need to disable the GPEs before the restore if the
'platform' hibernation mode has been used. To do this, we can introduce two
new hibernation_ops to be used in the restore code.
This patch:
Make the code hibernation code in kernel/power/user.c be functionally
equivalent to the corresponding code in kernel/power/disk.c , as it should be.
The calls to the platform functions removed by this patch are incorrect. They
should be replaced with some other "platform" invocations that will be
introduced in one of the subsequent patches.

In order to enable things like PM_TRACE, you're required to enable
PM_DEBUG, which sends a large spew of messages on boot, and often times can
overflow dmesg buffer.
Create new PM_VERBOSE and shift that to be the option that enables

This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires
all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
however that would be for another patch).

Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an
orderly poweroff. This pulls them together into a single
implementation.
By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set
via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd. This is split at whitespace, so it
can include command-line arguments.
This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff"
or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal
management.
sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should
be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for
various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the
info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.
This means the general pattern becomes:
info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...); /* extra state */
call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait); /* run process and free info */
This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

Kill this warning...

kernel/auditfilter.c:1213: warning: ‘ndp’ may be used uninitialized in this function
...with a simplification of the code. audit_put_nd() can accept NULL
arguments, just like kfree(). It is cleaner to init two existing vars
to NULL, remove the redundant test variable 'putnd_needed' branches, and call
audit_put_nd() directly.
As a desired side effect, the warning goes away.

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me.
cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until
->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get
CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.
Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should
stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time. This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.
This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable. When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.
