When !CONFIG_SMP, cpu_stop functions weren't defined at all which could lead to build failures if UP code uses cpu_stop facility. Add dummy cpu_stop implementation for UP. The waiting variants execute the work function directly with preempt disabled and stop_one_cpu_nowait() schedules a workqueue work. Makefile and ifdefs around stop_machine implementation are updated to accomodate CONFIG_SMP && !CONFIG_STOP_MACHINE case.

The paranoid check which verifies that the cpu_stop callback is actually called on all online cpus is completely superflous. It's guaranteed by cpu_stop facility and if it didn't work as advertised other things would go horribly wrong and trying to recover using synchronize_sched() wouldn't be very meaningful.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is scheduled is slightly messy. This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are guaranteed to be available for all online cpus, stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed. With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug disabled is enough. stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are removed. The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple purposes. Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(), stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus(). This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the migration thread and take on its name. * This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c. * Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair() in the context of a task wake-up: a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran. b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently. c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the periodic load balancer. Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu, then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct. The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other. This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment before. Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to do is to remove that particular check. I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've changed several times in the meantime. Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled. The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check".

This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if security_prepare_creds() fails.

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed. However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment, leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to this race. Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine. Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a low-refcount from being returned.

There have been a number of reports of people seeing the message: "name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:05, inode=3185" in dmesg. These usually lead to people reporting problems to the filesystem group who are in turn clueless what they mean. Eventually someone finds me and I explain what is going on and that these come from the audit system. The basics of the problem is that the audit subsystem never expects a single syscall to 'interact' (for some wish washy meaning of interact) with more than 20 inodes. But in fact some operations like loading kernel modules can cause changes to lots of inodes in debugfs. There are a couple real fixes being bandied about including removing the fixed compile time limit of 20 or not auditing changes in debugfs (or both) but neither are small and obvious so I am not sending them for immediate inclusion (I hope Al forwards a real solution next devel window). In the meantime this patch simply adds 'audit' to the beginning of the crap message so if a user sees it, they come blame me first and we can talk about what it means and make sure we understand all of the reasons it can happen and make sure this gets solved correctly in the long run.

This is a kgdb architectural change to have all the cpus (master or slave) enter the same function. A cpu that hits an exception (wants to be the master cpu) will call kgdb_handle_exception() from the trap handler and then invoke a kgdb_roundup_cpu() to synchronize the other cpus and bring them into the kgdb_handle_exception() as well. A slave cpu will enter kgdb_handle_exception() from the kgdb_nmicallback() and set the exception state to note that the processor is a slave. Previously the salve cpu would have called kgdb_wait().

Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork. - since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe - since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually providing full serialization. (*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING. Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq(). Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call, this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.

And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu, this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq() again? Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock. From now task_struct->cpus_allowed is always stable under TASK_WAKING, select_fallback_rq() is always called under rq-lock or the caller or the caller owns TASK_WAKING (select_task_rq).

The previous patch preserved the retry logic, but it looks unneeded. __migrate_task() can only fail if we raced with migration after we dropped the lock, but in this case the caller of set_cpus_allowed/etc must initiate migration itself if ->on_rq == T. We already fixed p->cpus_allowed, the changes in active/online masks must be visible to racer, it should migrate the task to online cpu correctly.

move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel. Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not need this lock. To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise. The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because p->se.on_rq must be false. Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly. Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work. - cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path. - cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus T can't be scheduled. - cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock() which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq. Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS. Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with set_cpus_allowed() pathes. The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.
