vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In the second case it only handles irq time accounting. So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*() this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq() in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime() calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.

With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account() is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the context: if we are interrupting the idle task we account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time, softirq time, ... However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry and softirq entry: * Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle. * The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time already flushed from the hardirq entry. In the other cases we always account to system/irq time: * On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time. * On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time. To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account() and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call vtime_account_system(). CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting as well in the future.

Switching to or from guest context is done on ioctl context. So by the time we call kvm_guest_enter() or kvm_guest_exit() we know we are not running the idle task. As a result, we can directly account the cputime using vtime_account_system(). There are two good reasons to do this: * We avoid some useless checks on guest switch. It optimizes a bit this fast path. * In the case of CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, calling vtime_account() checks for irq time to account. This is pointless since we know we are not in an irq on guest switch. This is wasting cpu cycles for no good reason. vtime_account_system() OTOH is a no-op in this config option. * We can remove the irq disable/enable around kvm guest switch in s390. A further optimization may consist in introducing a vtime_account_guest() that directly calls account_guest_time().

vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with vtime_account() which is irq safe. Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime. So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now prefixed with "__". vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly to stay consistent.

We are currently maintaining: runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t) For all running children t of cfs_rq. While this can be naturally updated for tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for the load contributed by blocked task entities. This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load: blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b) Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for their decay, we instead observe that: runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute: y*runnable_load(t). This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating: blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq) Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.

Instead of tracking averaging the load parented by a cfs_rq, we can track entity load directly. With the load for a given cfs_rq then being the sum of its children. To do this we represent the historical contribution to runnable average within each trailing 1024us of execution as the coefficients of a geometric series. We can express this for a given task t as: runnable_sum(t) = \Sum u_i * y^i, runnable_avg_period(t) = \Sum 1024 * y^i load(t) = weight_t * runnable_sum(t) / runnable_avg_period(t) Where: u_i is the usage in the last i`th 1024us period (approximately 1ms) ~ms and y is chosen such that y^k = 1/2. We currently choose k to be 32 which roughly translates to about a sched period.

Remove non-UAPI Kbuild files that have become empty as a result of UAPI disintegration. They used to have only header-y lines in them and those have now moved to the Kbuild files in the corresponding uapi/ directories. Possibly these should not be removed but rather have a comment inserted to say they are intentionally left blank. This would make it easier to add generated header lines in future without having to restore the infrastructure. Note that at this point not all the UAPI disintegration parts have been merged, so it is likely that more empty Kbuild files will turn up. It is probably necessary to make the files non-empty to prevent the patch program from automatically deleting them when it reduces them to nothing. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

uapi/linux/irqnr.h was emitted by the UAPI disintegration script as an empty file because the parent linux/irqnr.h had no UAPI stuff in it, despite being marked with "header-y". Unfortunately, the patch program deletes the empty file when applying a kernel patch. It's not clear why this file is part of the UAPI at all. Looking in: /usr/include/linux/irqnr.h there's nothing there but a header reinclusion guard and a comment. So just stick a comment in there as a placeholder. Without this, if the kernel is fabricated from, say, a tarball and a patch, you can get this error when building x86_64 or usermode Linux (and probably others): include/linux/irqnr.h:4:30: fatal error: uapi/linux/irqnr.h: No such file or directory Reported-by: NRandy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Reported-by: NAlessandro Suardi <alessandro.suardi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> cc: Alessandro Suardi <alessandro.suardi@gmail.com>

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: NJeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* allow kernel_execve() leave the actual return to userland to caller (selected by CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE). Callers updated accordingly. * architecture that does select GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE in its Kconfig should have its ret_from_kernel_thread() do this: call schedule_tail call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve() jump to return from syscall IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the callback. * such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve() and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from that point on work on different architectures can live independently.

The con_debug_leave/con_debug_enter functions are stubbed out by defining them to (0), which causes harmless build warnings. Using proper inline functions is the normal way to deal with this. Without this patch, building the ARM bcm2835_defconfig results in: drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c: In function 'kgdboc_pre_exp_handler': drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c:279:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c: In function 'kgdboc_post_exp_handler': drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c:293:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

First, it's incorrect to call putname() after __getname_gfp() since the bare __getname_gfp() call skips the auditing code, while putname() doesn't. mount_block_root allocates a PATH_MAX buffer via __getname_gfp, and then calls get_fs_names to fill the buffer. That function can call get_filesystem_list which assumes that that buffer is a full page in size. On arches where PAGE_SIZE != 4k, then this could potentially overrun. In practice, it's hard to imagine the list of filesystem names even approaching 4k, but it's best to be safe. Just allocate a page for this purpose instead. With this, we can also remove the __getname_gfp() definition since there are no more callers. Signed-off-by: NJeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

In order to accomodate retrying path-based syscalls, we need to add a new "type" argument to audit_inode_child. This will tell us whether we're looking for a child entry that represents a create or a delete. If we find a parent, don't automatically assume that we need to create a new entry. Instead, use the information we have to try to find an existing entry first. Update it if one is found and create a new one if not.

Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path but has the parent inode info attached. Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for the audit entry correctly from the get-go. While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the !CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case. Signed-off-by: NJeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
