      [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: taskstats interface · c757249a
      Shailabh Nagar 提交于
      Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
      family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
      lifetime and when they exit.  The interface is intended for use by multiple
      accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
      accounting.
      
      This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
      that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
      Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
      additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

      Shailabh Nagar 提交于
      Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which
      measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc.  The
      collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches.  This patch
      sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be
      disabled through a kernel boot parameter.

      [PATCH] lockdep: core · fbb9ce95
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
      reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
      you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.
      
      Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
      voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
      can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.
      
      What does the lock validator do?  It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
      they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
      rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
      new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
      rules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
      new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the
      new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.
      
      When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
      considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
      context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
      locking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate
      scenarios.  This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
      rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
      certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
      implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
      corrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals
      of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
      Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]
      
      Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
      enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
      via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
      drastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
      the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
      which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
      That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a
      race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
      for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its
      short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
      actually caused a real deadlock.
      
      To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
      "lock instance", but per "lock-class".  For example, all struct inode objects
      in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
      then there are 10,000 lock objects.  But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
      type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
      "unified" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class
      approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
      (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
      different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The
      set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.
      
      To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
      portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:
      
       lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]
       direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]

       in-process chains:                    1065
       stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]
       combined max dependencies:         2033928
       hardirq-safe locks:                     24
       hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176
       softirq-safe locks:                     53
       softirq-unsafe locks:                  137
       irq-safe locks:                         59
       irq-unsafe locks:                      176
      
      The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,
      and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

      [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging · 9a11b49a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Generic lock debugging:
      
       - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
         subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
      
       - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
         the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
         hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
      
       - ability to do silent tests
      
       - check lock freeing in vfree too.
      
       - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
         turn off more expensive debugging features.
      
      There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
      stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
      classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
      checks whether we are holding a lock already)
      
      Here are the current debugging options:
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
      
      which do:
      
       config DEBUG_MUTEXES
                bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
      
       config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
               bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"

      [PATCH] time initialisation fix · 88fecaa2
      john stultz 提交于
      We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run.
      But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with
      local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die.
      
      Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init().
      
      We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's
      machine.  That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem.  THe patch adds a little
      bit of debugging to detect that.
      
      This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot
      keeps on biting us.

      kernel was compiled as part of a git repository.
      This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h
      would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1.
      Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files.
      
      Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE.

      [PATCH] audit: path-based rules · f368c07d
      Amy Griffis 提交于
      In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
      directories of paths specified in audit rules.  When audit's inotify
      event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
      filesystem event.  If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
      filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
      inotify watch.
      
      To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
      auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory.  Given
      a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:
      
          passwd modified -- audit event logged
          passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
          bar renamed     -- rule removed
          foo renamed     -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
      		       the new location
      
      Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
      objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance.  This
      patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
      situation.
      
      The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
      http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary
      and uses the inotify kernel API:
