The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus. Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting. This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu. Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough for appldata.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem.

Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions: - directly setting the four parameters individually - copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long)) - copying the four parameters using a private structure In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart members of struct _lowcore. Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore. In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all. string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h. Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that handles the misaligned u64 correctly.

Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit 30a08bf2 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right. The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the permission model for those are different. So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are. Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'. That would have avoided this issue too, but since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the reason for that original commit 30a08bf2 in the first place), people do apparently use this feature. [ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo" replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink. So the feature does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably shouldn't have done it to begin with. ] Reported-and-tested-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6. That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption issues that Dave Jones reported. The locking (or rather, absense there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has been found to be outside the pageblock range.

New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction. It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all. We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty(). But that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking", but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the common stat operations. The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this doesn't change the size. Some of our inode layout has historically been to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at least as important for layout, if not more. Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits" access stood out like a sore thumb. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.
