      revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits · 34441427
      Robin Holt 提交于
      Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
      threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
      threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
      stack.
      
      Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
      applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
      
      Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
      64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
      
      Commit 9ebd4eba ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
      threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
      userland stack address.
      
      Commit 1306d603 ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
      information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
      being used to solve a significant performance regression.
      
      This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
      
      The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
      field 28.  For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
      value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
      start address.  This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
      it worthless.  That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
      space a thread has.
      
      Other architectures will get different values.  As an example, ia64
      gets 0.  The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
      stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
      
      I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
      on NOMMU") .  If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
      mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
      configured.  Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
      I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
      
      I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
      information for threads on 64-bit") .  I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
      place as that seemed worthwhile.

      sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stop · 969c7921
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
      pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
      switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched.  All three roles are
      hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
      scheduled is slightly messy.
      
      This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
      cpu_stop.  The three different roles of migration_thread() are
      splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
      migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
      synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
      asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
      
      synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
      preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
      logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
      synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
      resources along with the mutex are dropped.
      
      synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
      where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
      fall back to synchronize_sched().  If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
      cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
      otherwise, stop_machine() would break.  However, this patch preserves
      the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
      ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
      goes wrong theree.
      
      Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
      rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
      
      This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
      "migration/%d".  The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
      and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
      
      With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
      resources.  stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
      sched migration users are much cleaner.

      (libata: kill ata_noop_dev_select()) didn't update the developer's
      guide as well.
      
      The guide also refers to the long gone ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(),
      ata_pio_data_xfer(), and ata_mmio_data_xfer() -- replace those by
      the modern ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_sff_data_xfer(), and

      tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers · cecbca96
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
      dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
      
      It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
      plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
      
      Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
      opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
      
      This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
      
      The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
      the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
      will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
      
      Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
      behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.

      v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
      v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

      Support basic types of integer (u8, u16, u32, u64, s8, s16, s32, s64) in
      kprobe tracer. With this patch, users can specify above basic types on
      each arguments after ':'. If omitted, the argument type is set as

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
