2009-07-10sched: optimize cond_resched()Peter Zijlstra
Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional. Currently cond_resched() checks system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the scheduler is running. We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

2009-06-25x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI errorKurt Garloff
This patch introduces a new sysctl: /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi which defaults to 0 (off). When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI caused by an IO error. The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice, so one can figure out what's causing the IO error. This could be especially important to companies running IO intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a bank's databases.

2009-06-25perf_counter: Rework the sample ABIPeter Zijlstra
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information. Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type. This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

2009-06-25perf_counter: Implement more accurate per task statisticsPeter Zijlstra
With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the possibility to provide accurate counter values for individual tasks in a task hierarchy. However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar counter contexts our current per task counts are way off. In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active counters and flip the values between the contexts. This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram the full PMU.

2009-06-24futex: Fix the write access fault problem for realThomas Gleixner
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

2009-06-24timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function callsHeiko Carstens
When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some fields in the corresponding struct timer_list. So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info when timer stats are disabled. In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

2009-06-24ftrace: Fix t_hash_start()Li Zefan
When the output of set_ftrace_filter is larger than PAGE_SIZE, t_hash_start() will be called the 2nd time, and then we start from the head of a hlist, which is wrong and causes some entries to be outputed twice. The worse is, if the hlist is large enough, reading set_ftrace_filter won't stop but in a dead loop.

2009-06-24ftrace: Don't manipulate @pos in t_start()Li Zefan
It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented. This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way. Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable: static void *t_start(...) { ... if (!p) return t_hash_start(m, pos); return p; } Before: # echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter sys_open After: # echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter sys_open sys_write:traceon:count=4 Reviewed-by: Liming Wang <liming.wang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <4A41874B.4090507@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-06-24tracing/events: Don't increment @pos in s_start()Li Zefan
While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries were missing when reading available_events. The output size of available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page. The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start(). Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events can race with module unload: # cat available_events | s_start() | s_stop() | | # rmmod foo.ko s_start() | call = list_entry(m->private) | @call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.
