      clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timers · a7dc19b8
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices
      with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real
      hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the
      dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core
      clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for
      programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic.
      
      This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers,
      preventing this problem.

      trace/ring_buffer: handle 64bit aligned structs · 649508f6
      James Hogan 提交于
      Some 32 bit architectures require 64 bit values to be aligned (for
      example Meta which has 64 bit read/write instructions). These require 8
      byte alignment of event data too, so use
      !CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS instead of !CONFIG_64BIT ||
      CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to decide alignment, and align
      buffer_data_page::data accordingly.

      Running the full dynticks cputime accounting with preemptible

      We use sched_clock() to perform and fixup the cputime
      accounting. However we are calling it with preemption enabled
      from the read side, which trigger the bug above.
      
      To fix this up, use local_clock() instead. It takes care of
      preemption and also provide a more reliable clock source. This
      is welcome for this kind of statistic that is widely relied on
      in userspace.

      sched: do not use cpu_to_node() to find an offlined cpu's node. · aa00d89c
      Tang Chen 提交于
      If a cpu is offline, its nid will be set to -1, and cpu_to_node(cpu)
      will return -1.  As a result, cpumask_of_node(nid) will return NULL.  In
      this case, find_next_bit() in for_each_cpu will get a NULL pointer and
      cause panic.
      
      Here is a call trace:
        Call Trace:
         <IRQ>

          apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80
      
      There is a hrtimer process sleeping, whose cpu has already been
      offlined.  When it is waken up, it tries to find another cpu to run, and
      get a -1 nid.  As a result, cpumask_of_node(-1) returns NULL, and causes
      ernel panic.
      
      This patch fixes this problem by judging if the nid is -1.  If nid is
      not -1, a cpu on the same node will be picked.  Else, a online cpu on
      another node will be picked.
