      net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any() · 99709372
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
      CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
      from spinlocked regions.
      
      Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
      will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
      might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
      callsites.
      
      Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
      runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
      if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.
      
      I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
      brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
      idea what this patch will do.

      syscall define: fix uml compile bug · 6c597963
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      With the new system call defines we get this on uml:
      
      arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
      (.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'
      
      Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
      -Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
      This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
      SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
      call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask.  However sys_sigprocmask is missing
      because of this.
      
      To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
      name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
      This was pointed out by Al Viro.

      cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow · cfebe563
      Li Zefan 提交于
      I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
       # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
       # mkdir /mnt/0
      
      This showed up immediately:
       BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
       turning off the locking correctness validator.
      
      It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
      	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
      		struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
      		if (ss->root == root)
      			mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
      	}
      
      Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but
      MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.
      
      This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

      timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers · 4cd4c1b4
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we:
      
       1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads,
       2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process,
       3) have no impact when not used.
      
      In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts:
      
       - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
                 from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)
      
       - timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're
                 explicity used, the user can pay the overhead.
      
      The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the
      timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only
      programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

      signal: re-add dead task accumulation stats. · 32bd671d
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts:
      
       - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
                 from user context.
      
       - timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead
                 because they're default off -- and rare.
      
      The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this
      we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer
      rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang).
      
      Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups
      and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time
      computation.
