2008-04-27s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetableCarsten Otte
The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to reserve space in the page table: s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table. Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE. This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static. Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

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).

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.)

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.

2008-04-19sched: fix the task_group hierarchy for UID groupingPeter Zijlstra
UID grouping doesn't actually have a task_group representing the root of the task_group tree. Add one. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-19sched: mix tasks and groupsDhaval Giani
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.
