      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.

      perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things · 84c6f88f
      Hitoshi Mitake 提交于
      I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
      so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.
      
      Fixing command-list.txt requires document
      (tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
      But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
      stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.
      
      And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of

      rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitives · 632ee200
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses,
      which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be
      protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh,
      RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any
      of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to
      enlist the aid of lockdep.
      
      This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter
      Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach:
      
      o	Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched.
      
      o	Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU.
      
      o	Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side
      	critical section.  These return exact answers if lockdep is
      	fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side
      	critical section.  (We want to avoid false positives!)
      	The primitives are:
      
      	For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void)
      
      	For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void)
      
      	For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void)
      
      	For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp)
      
      o	Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument
      	in which one places a boolean expression based on the above
      	primitives and/or lockdep_is_held().
      
      o	A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables
      	rcu_dereference_check().  This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
      	and should be quite helpful during the transition period while
      	CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight.
      
      The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but
      upcoming patches will change that.

      idr: fix a critical misallocation bug · 859ddf09
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Eric Paris located a bug in idr.  With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three
      layers when id 4096 is first allocated.  When that happens, idr wraps
      incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits.  The
      following test code from Eric demonstrates the bug nicely.
      
      #include <linux/idr.h>
      #include <linux/kernel.h>
      #include <linux/module.h>
      
      static DEFINE_IDR(test_idr);
      
      int init_module(void)
      {
      	int ret, forty95, forty96;
      	void *addr;
      
      	/* add 2 entries both with 4095 as the start address */
      again1:
      	if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
      		return -ENOMEM;
      	ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4095, 4095, &forty95);
      	if (ret) {
      		if (ret == -EAGAIN)
      			goto again1;
      		return ret;
      	}
      	if (forty95 != 4095)
      		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty95=%d\n", forty95);

      	if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
      		return -ENOMEM;
      	ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4096, 4095, &forty96);
      	if (ret) {
      		if (ret == -EAGAIN)
      			goto again2;
      		return ret;
      	}
      	if (forty96 != 4096)
      		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty96=%d\n", forty96);
      
      	/* try to find the 2 entries, noticing that 4096 broke */
      	addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty95);
      	if ((int)addr != forty95)
      		printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty95=%d addr=%d\n", forty95, (int)addr);
      	addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty96);

      	/* really weird, the entry which should be at 4096 is actually at 0!! */
      	addr = idr_find(&test_idr, 0);
      	if ((int)addr)
      		printk(KERN_ERR "found an entry at id=0 for addr=%d\n", (int)addr);
      
      	idr_remove(&test_idr, forty95);
      	idr_remove(&test_idr, forty96);
      
      	return 0;

      This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it
      step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step
      backtracking.  The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following.
      
        restart:
          clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection
          l = top level
          while (true) {
      	search for empty slot at this level
      	if (not found) {
      	    push id to the next possible value
      	    l++
      A:	    if (pa[l] is clear)
      	        failed, return asking caller to grow the tree
      	    if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search)
      	        continue the while loop above with the incremented l
      	    else
      C:	        goto restart
      	}
      	adjust id accordingly to the found slot
      	if (l == 0)
      	    return found id;
      	create lower level if not there yet
      	record pa[l] and l--
          }
      
      Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is
      propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks
      the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is
      above the possible limit with the current layers.  sub_alloc() assumes the
      start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit
      condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring
      high set bit.
      
      So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid
      pointer.  However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so
      it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit
      set beyond the top level.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full
      id limit check.

      zlib: Fix build of powerpc boot wrapper · 6846ee5c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Commit ac4c2a3b broke the build
      of all powerpc boot wrappers.
      
      It attempts to add an include of autoconf.h but used the wrong
      path for it. It also adds -D__KERNEL__ to our boot wrapper, both
      things that we pretty much didn't do on purpose so far.
      
      We want our boot wrapper to remain independent enough of the kernel
      for various reasons, one of them being that you can "wrap" an existing
      kernel at distro install time which allows to ship one kernel image
      and a set of boot wrappers for different platforms, the wrappers
      don't have to be built out of the same kernel build tree.
      
      It's also incorrect to do what the patch does in our boot environment
      since we may not have a proper alignment exception handler which means
      we may not be able to fixup the few cases where an unaligned access will
      need SW emulation (depends on the core variant, could be when crossing
      page or segment boundaries for example).
      
      This patch fixes it by putting the old code back in and using the
      new "fancy" variant only when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
      is set, which happens not to be set on powerpc since we don't include
      autoconf.h. It also reverts the changes to our boot wrapper Makefile.
      
      This means that x86 should, afaik, keep the optimisations since its
      boot wrapper does include autoconf.h and define __KERNEL__ (though I
      doubt they make that much different outside of slow embedded processors).
