Since commit 4a31a334, the name of this misc device is not initialized,
which leads to a funny device named /dev/(null) being created and
/proc/misc containing an entry with just a number but no name. The latter
leads to complaints by cryptsetup, which caused me to investigate this
matter.

In case the the graph tracer (CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) or even the
function tracer (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) are not set, the latency tracers
do not display proper latency header.

The involved/fixed latency tracers are:
        wakeup_rt
        wakeup
        preemptirqsoff
        preemptoff
        irqsoff

The patch adds proper handling of tracer configuration options for latency
tracers, and displaying correct header info accordingly.

  tracers disabled is:

If the set_ftrace_filter is cleared by writing just whitespace to

1) No functions will be enabled for tracing when they all should be

2) If the users clears the set_ftrace_filter twice, it will crash ftrace:

A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was
accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to
run slower than needed while running function tracing as well
as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE
is not set. This is because the code in MCOUNT expects the ftrace
code to be processed with the config value set that happened to
be forced not set.

The forced config option was left in by:

The pretty print of the lockdep debug splat uses just the lock name
to show how the locking scenario happens. But when it comes to
nesting locks, the output becomes confusing which takes away the point
of the pretty printing of the lock scenario.

Without displaying the subclass info, we get the following output:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(slock-AF_INET);

                                lock(slock-AF_INET);
   lock(slock-AF_INET);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

The above looks more of a A->A locking bug than a A->B B->A.
By adding the subclass to the output, we can see what really happened:

Dynamic debugging is currently disabled for tainted modules, except
for TAINT_CRAP.  This prevents use of dynamic debugging for
out-of-tree modules once the next patch is applied.

This condition was apparently intended to avoid a crash if a force-
loaded module has an incompatible definition of dynamic debug
structures.  However, a administrator that forces us to load a module
is claiming that it *is* compatible even though it fails our version
checks.  If they are mistaken, there are any number of ways the module

As a side-effect, proprietary and other tainted modules can now use

The system filter can be used to set multiple event filters that
exist within the system. But currently it displays the last filter
written that does not necessarily correspond to the filters within
the system. The system filter itself is not used to filter any events.
The system filter is just a means to set filters of the events within
it.

Because this causes an ambiguous state when the system filter reads
a filter string but the events within the system have different strings
it is best to just show a boiler plate:

 ### global filter ###
 # Use this to set filters for multiple events.
 # Only events with the given fields will be affected.
 # If no events are modified, an error message will be displayed here.

If an error occurs while writing to the system filter, the system
filter will replace the boiler plate with the error message as it
currently does.

PM / Freezer: Revert 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too"

Commit 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer
to wake up KILLABLE tasks.  Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in
killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on
tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep.

For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming
that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return
to the usermode.  TASK_TRACED is another obvious example.

The previous patch updated wait_event_freezekillable() such that it
doesn't depend on the spurious wakeup.  This patch reverts the
offending commit.

Note that the spurious KILLABLE wakeup had other implicit effects in
KILLABLE sleeps in nfs and cifs and those will need further updates to
regain freezekillable behavior.

The CPU hotplug notifications sent out by the _cpu_up() and _cpu_down()
functions depend on the value of the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to them
(which indicates whether tasks have been frozen or not).
(Examples for such CPU hotplug notifications: CPU_ONLINE, CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN,
CPU_DEAD, CPU_DEAD_FROZEN).

Thus, it is essential that while the callbacks for those notifications are
running, the state of the system with respect to the tasks being frozen or
not remains unchanged, *throughout that duration*. Hence there is a need for
synchronizing the CPU hotplug code with the freezer subsystem.

Since the freezer is involved only in the Suspend/Hibernate call paths, this
patch hooks the CPU hotplug code to the suspend/hibernate notifiers
PM_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE]_PREPARE and PM_POST_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE] to prevent
the race between CPU hotplug and freezer, thus ensuring that CPU hotplug
notifications will always be run with the state of the system really being
what the notifications indicate, _throughout_ their execution time.

It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post
3.1.  The screen just stays black after wakeup.

Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf
events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and
resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global
reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance
regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of
the ss->id_lock.  This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to
idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy
walk).

Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it
with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new().  By making the ss->id_lock a
rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves.

Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on
each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine.
Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers.
Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly
access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a
concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations
where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG.

This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory
conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires
get_mems_allowed() itself.  It is not atypical to see writes to
cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example.  In low memory
conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant
times to change cpuset.mems in the first place!

The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets
by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is
not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and
then clearing all the old nodes.  This prevents the possibility that a
reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a
new nodemask.

If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply
set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes.  Changing a task's
nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads
are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the
nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and
determines whether a node remains set or not.

If a task has exited to the point it has called cgroup_exit() already,
then we can't migrate it to another cgroup anymore.

This can happen when we are attaching a task to a new cgroup between the
call to ->can_attach_task() on subsystems and the migration that is
eventually tried in cgroup_task_migrate().

In this case cgroup_task_migrate() returns -ESRCH and we don't want to
attach the task to the subsystems because the attachment to the new cgroup
itself failed.

Fix this by only calling ->attach_task() on the subsystems if the cgroup
migration succeeded.

Userspace needs to know the highest valid capability of the running
kernel, which right now cannot reliably be retrieved from the header files
only.  The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now
creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files
which are run on older kernels.  They assume capabilities are available
which actually aren't.  libcap-ng is one example.  And we ran into the
same problem with systemd too.

Now the capability is exported in /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap.

Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".

The difference between mlocking and pinning is:

A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
   swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
   They are kept on a special LRU list.

B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
   directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
   LRU list.

I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
memory was accounted for twice:

Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
memory.

This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
accounts them seperately.

This removes mm->oom_disable_count entirely since it's unnecessary and
currently buggy.  The counter was intended to be per-process but it's
currently decremented in the exit path for each thread that exits, causing
it to underflow.

The count was originally intended to prevent oom killing threads that
share memory with threads that cannot be killed since it doesn't lead to
future memory freeing.  The counter could be fixed to represent all
threads sharing the same mm, but it's better to remove the count since:

 - it is possible that the OOM_DISABLE thread sharing memory with the
   victim is waiting on that thread to exit and will actually cause
   future memory freeing, and

 - there is no guarantee that a thread is disabled from oom killing just
   because another thread sharing its mm is oom disabled.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.

The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call.  There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.

- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
  using it:
  - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
    preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
  written to would need to be contiguous.
  - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
  ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
  from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
  but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
  (reason  appears to have been lost)
  - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
  domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
  especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
  of processes  that all need to do this with each other
  - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
  consider adding in the future (see below)
  - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
  involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)

As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems.  Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block.  Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive.  In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock.  And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.

There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could.  For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy.  We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source.  I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.

Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI).  This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication.  And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.

There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2

There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:

http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt

This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.

For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

Recent commit "irq: Track the  owner of irq descriptor" in
commit ID b6873807 placed module.h into linux/irq.h
but we are trying to limit module.h inclusion to just C files
that really need it, due to its size and number of children
includes.  This targets just reversing that include.

Add in the basic "struct module" since that is all we really need
to ensure things compile.  In theory, b6873807 should have added the
module.h include to the irqdesc.h header as well, but the implicit
module.h everywhere presence masked this from showing up.  So give
it the "struct module" as well.

As for the C files, irqdesc.c is only using THIS_MODULE, so it
does not need module.h - give it export.h instead.  The C file
irq/manage.c is now (as of b6873807) using try_module_get and
module_put and so it needs module.h (which it already has).

Also convert the irq_alloc_descs variants to macros, since all
they really do is is call the __irq_alloc_descs primitive.
This avoids including export.h and no debug info is lost.

These files were getting <linux/module.h> via an implicit non-obvious
path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost
time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers
for no reason.  Give them the lightweight header that just contains
the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.

Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from
ever being released.

Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting
events.  Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to
increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that.  Fix this by
touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user -
subsystem_open().

The file rcutiny.c does not need moduleparam.h header, as
there are no modparams in this file.

However rcutiny_plugin.h does define a module_init() and
a module_exit() and it uses the various MODULE_ macros, so
it really does need module.h included.

Through various other implicit include paths, some files were
getting the full module.h file, and hence living the illusion
that they really only needed moduleparam.h -- but the reality
is that once you remove the module.h presence, these show up:

kernel/params.c:583: warning: ‘struct module_kobject’ declared inside parameter list

Such files really require module.h so simply make it so.  As the
file module.h grabs moduleparam.h on the fly, all will be well.

Up until now, this file was getting percpu.h because nearly every
file was implicitly getting module.h (and all its sub-includes).
But we want to clean that up, so call out percpu.h explicitly.
Otherwise we'll get things like this on an ARM build:

kernel/irq_work.c:48: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'irq_work_list'
kernel/irq_work.c:48: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'DEFINE_PER_CPU'

These files are doing things like module_put and try_module_get
so they need to call out the module.h for explicit inclusion,
rather than getting it via <linux/device.h> which we ideally want
to remove the module.h inclusion from.

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include <linux/module.h>
  +#include <linux/export.h>

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.
