      perf: Comply with new rcu checks API · 49f135ed
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new
      rcu checks api.
      
      We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist:
      
      - the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an
        events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are
        serialized under the cpuctx mutex.
      
      - the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always
        serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present
        during such operations. This side happens when a software event
        is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software
        event is really attached to the context is made under the
        ctx->lock.
      
      - events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen
        concurrently with any update side.
      
      This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the
      separate rcu mem space patches in preparation.
      
      This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings.

      memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU locking · 747388d7
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without
      rcu_read_lock.  Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected
      data, it should be under rcu_read_lock().
      
      This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected
      area.  (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of
      "child".  So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

      memcg: fix css_id() RCU locking for real · 7f0f1546
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Commit ad4ba375 ("memcg: css_id() must be
      called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check
      message.  But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane
      and it was just for hidining lockdep messages.
      
      This is a patch for do proper things.  Checking again, all places,
      accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional....
      all callers of css_id() has reference count on it.  So, it's not necessary
      to be under rcu_read_lock().
      
      Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id().  We know
      css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0.  (css->id never changes and freed
      after css->refcnt going to be 0.)
      
      This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove
      unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

      kexec: fix OOPS in crash_kernel_shrink · 475f9aa6
      Vitaly Mayatskikh 提交于
      Two "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" OOPSes kernel.  Also content
      of this file is invalid after first shrink to zero: it shows 1 instead of
      0.
      
      This scenario is unlikely to happen often (root privs, valid crashkernel=
      in cmdline, dump-capture kernel not loaded), I hit it only by chance.
      
      This patch fixes it.

      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.
