2008-09-06sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuildMax Krasnyansky
What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled. partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones. What this means is that doing echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted). This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in order to enable MC powersaving flags. Test on quad-core Core2 box with both CONFIG_CPUSETS and !CONFIG_CPUSETS. Also tested on dual-core Core2 laptop. Lockdep is happy and things are working as expected.

2008-09-06ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC syncMaciej W. Rozycki
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

2008-09-05sched: fix process time monotonicityBalbir Singh
Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite the fixes in commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa. The suspected reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime() routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch fixes the problem TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt() function for comparison.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent endless loop lockupThomas Gleixner
The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-09-05clockevents: prevent multiple init/shutdownThomas Gleixner
While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again.

2008-09-05clockevents: enforce reprogram in oneshot setupThomas Gleixner
In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event, but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event() and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot(). Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent endless loop in periodic broadcast handlerThomas Gleixner
The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken, when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value and therefor never increases.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noopVenkatesh Pallipadi
There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

2008-09-02pm_qos_requirement might sleepJohn Kacur
Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel. The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this function is called from idle. CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings. Changing the target_value to an atomic avoids this issue. Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic type.

2008-09-02pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exitsOleg Nesterov
We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the subnamespace init exits. As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed out this is wrong. Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by exit_task_namespaces(). Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed. Kill the now unneeded exit_child_reaper(). Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

2008-09-02pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changingOleg Nesterov
zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong. Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

2008-08-29Don't trigger softlockup detector on network fs blocked tasksAndi Kleen
Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes longer than 120s. I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy. Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case. Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE state, which is used by the network file systems. I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.

2008-08-28sched: fix sched_rt_rq_enqueue() resched idleJohn Blackwood
When sysctl_sched_rt_runtime is set to something other than -1 and the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED kernel parameter is NOT enabled, we get into a state where we see one or more CPUs idling forvever even though there are real-time tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled). The sequence is: - A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched out, and idle is switched in since there are no non-rt tasks to run on that cpu. - Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever. If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code from the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled version of this same routine and resched_task() the currently executing task (idle in our case) if it is a lower priority task than the higher rt task in the now un-throttled runqueue, the problem is no longer observed.

2008-08-27ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ramSteven Rostedt
I've been painstakingly debugging the issue with suspend to ram and ftraced. The 2.6.28 code does not have this issue, but since the mcount recording is not going to be in 27, this must be solved for the ftrace daemon version. The resume from suspend to ram would reboot because it was triple faulting. Debugging further, I found that calling the mcount function itself was not an issue, but it would fault when it incremented preempt_count. preempt_count is on the tasks info structure that is on the low memory address of the task's stack. For some reason, it could not write to it. Resuming out of suspend to ram does quite a lot of funny tricks to get to work, so it is not surprising at all that simply doing a preempt_disable() would cause a fault. Thanks to Rafael for suggesting to add a "while (1);" to find the place in resuming that is causing the fault. I would place the loop somewhere in the code, compile and reboot and see if it would either reboot (hit the fault) or simply hang (hit the loop). Doing this over and over again, I narrowed it down that it was happening in enable_nonboot_cpus. At this point, I found that it is easier to simply disable tracing around the suspend code, instead of searching for the particular function that can not handle doing a preempt_disable. This patch disables the tracer as it suspends and reenables it on resume. I tested this patch on my Laptop, and it can resume fine with the patch.

This is due to a bug in the rounding algorithm which pushes values in the range '95..99' to '100' rather than to '00' + an increment to the integer part.

2008-08-25[module] Don't let gcc inline load_module()Linus Torvalds
'load_module()' is a complex function that contains all the ELF section logic, and inlining it is utterly insane. But gcc will do it, simply because there is only one call-site. As a result, all the stack space that is allocated for all the work to load the module will still be active when we actually call the module init sequence, and the deep call chain makes stack overflows happen. And stack overflows are really hard to debug, because they not only corrupt random pages below the stack, but also corrupt the thread_info structure that is allocated under the stack. In this case, Alan Brunelle reported some crazy oopses at bootup, after loading the processor module that ends up doing complex ACPI stuff and has quite a deep callchain. This should fix it, and is the sane thing to do regardless. Cc: Alan D.

2008-08-25sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()Peter Zijlstra
This patch fixes 3 issues: a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work as it can drift around. So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window. b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking): delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw; clock += delta; Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear. c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without breaking. the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas: before after sched_clock cpu_clock: 15750 51312 51488 cpu_clock: 59719 51052 50947 cpu_clock: 15879 51249 51061 cpu_clock: 1 50933 51198 cpu_clock: 1 50931 51039 cpu_clock: 1 51093 50981 cpu_clock: 1 51043 51040 cpu_clock: 1 50959 50938 cpu_clock: 1 50981 51011 cpu_clock: 1 51364 51212 cpu_clock: 1 51219 51273 cpu_clock: 1 51389 51048 cpu_clock: 1 51285 51611 cpu_clock: 1 50964 51137 cpu_clock: 1 50973 50968 cpu_clock: 1 50967 50972 cpu_clock: 1 58910 58485 cpu_clock: 1 51082 51025 cpu_clock: 1 50957 50958 cpu_clock: 1 50958 50957 cpu_clock: 1006128 51128 50971 cpu_clock: 1 51107 51155 cpu_clock: 1 51371 51081 cpu_clock: 1 51104 51365 cpu_clock: 1 51363 51309 cpu_clock: 1 51107 51160 cpu_clock: 1 51139 51100 cpu_clock: 1 51216 51136 cpu_clock: 1 51207 51215 cpu_clock: 1 51087 51263 cpu_clock: 1 51249 51177 cpu_clock: 1 51519 51412 cpu_clock: 1 51416 51255 cpu_clock: 1 51591 51594 cpu_clock: 1 50966 51374 cpu_clock: 1 50966 50966 cpu_clock: 1 51291 50948 cpu_clock: 1 50973 50867 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 998306 50970 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 51351 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 51352 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 51321 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50974 51324 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after I made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler. After debuging, I found this bug was caused by the wrong tick mode. the tick mode is not changed to NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE when the cpu is offline. This patch fixes this bug.

When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each process, ignoring all other sibling thread.
