      stackprotector: update make rules · 5d707e9c
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      Impact: no default -fno-stack-protector if stackp is enabled, cleanup

Stackprotector make rules had the following problems.

* cc support test and warning are scattered across makefile and
  kernel/panic.c.

* -fno-stack-protector was always added regardless of configuration.

Update such that cc support test and warning are contained in makefile
and -fno-stack-protector is added iff stackp is turned off.  While at
it, prepare for 32bit support.

      ELF core dump is used for both user land core dump and kernel crash
dump.  Depending on architecture, register might need to be accessed
differently for userland and kernel.  Allow architectures to define
ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() and use different operation for kernel

      wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation · 777c6c5f
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.

Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal.  And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.

This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently.  The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.

Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock.  Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.

Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

      revert "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY" · 60fd760f
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Revert commit 0c2d64fb because it causes
(arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable
periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors.

We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which
defaults to "off".

Peter's alanysis follows:

: I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious
: performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to
: 2.6.28.  In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that
: was triggered by a change in 2.6.28.  Since this might also affect other
: people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we
: can even do something about it:
:
:
: So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately
: the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their
: scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come
: close to being done after an hour or so.  Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed
: that.
:
: Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or
: whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on.
: That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and
: closes them all with a few exceptions.
:
: Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576).
:
: With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is
: now a thousand times that.
:
: 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to
: RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb)[1] that
: allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to
: infinity.
:
: Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply
: to "system" processes (like stuff started from init).  In the end I
: could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one
: point had the bad resource limit.
:
: Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits
: to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf
: to override them.  Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY.
: Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam
: package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects
: that has.
:
: Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it
: uses a different pam (version).

      modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting · 720eba31
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
using a lot of memory.

Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.

This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.

Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.

On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)

Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each  CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.

      hrtimer: prevent negative expiry value after clock_was_set() · b0a9b511
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      Impact: prevent false positive WARN_ON() in clockevents_program_event()

clock_was_set() changes the base->offset of CLOCK_REALTIME and
enforces the reprogramming of the clockevent device to expire timers
which are based on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the clock change is large enough
then the subtraction of the timer expiry value and base->offset can
become negative which triggers the warning in
clockevents_program_event().

Check the subtraction result and set a negative value to 0.

      hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus · 94df7de0
      由 Sebastien Dugue 提交于 
      Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox

On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.

This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
for the dying cpu to be dead.

This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

      hrtimers: increase clock min delta threshold while interrupt hanging · 7f22391c
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      Impact: avoid timer IRQ hanging slow systems

While using the function graph tracer on a virtualized system, the
hrtimer_interrupt can hang the system on an infinite loop.

This can be caused in several situations:

 - the hardware is very slow and HZ is set too high

 - something intrusive is slowing the system down (tracing under emulation)

... and the next clock events to program are always before the current time.

This patch implements a reasonable compromise: if such a situation is
detected, we share the CPUs time in 1/4 to process the hrtimer interrupts.
This is enough to let the system running without serious starvation.

It has been successfully tested under VirtualBox with 1000 HZ and 100 HZ
with function graph tracer launched. On both cases, the clock events were
increased until about 25 ms periodic ticks, which means 40 HZ.

So we change a hard to debug hang into a warning message and a system that
still manages to limp along.

      generic-ipi: use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls · d7240b98
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The smp_call_function can be passed a wait parameter telling it to
wait for all the functions running on other CPUs to complete before
returning, or to return without waiting. Unfortunately, this is
currently just a suggestion and not manditory. That is, the
smp_call_function can decide not to return and wait instead.

The reason for this is because it uses kmalloc to allocate storage
to send to the called CPU and that CPU will free it when it is done.
But if we fail to allocate the storage, the stack is used instead.
This means we must wait for the called CPU to finish before
continuing.

Unfortunatly, some callers do no abide by this hint and act as if
the non-wait option is mandatory. The MTRR code for instance will
deadlock if the smp_call_function is set to wait. This is because
the smp_call_function will wait for the other CPUs to finish their
called functions, but those functions are waiting on the caller to
continue.

This patch changes the generic smp_call_function code to use per cpu
variables if the allocation of the data fails for a single CPU call. The
smp_call_function_many will fall back to the smp_call_function_single
if it fails its alloc. The smp_call_function_single is modified
to not force the wait state.

Since we now are using a single data per cpu we must synchronize the
callers to prevent a second caller modifying the data before the
first called IPI functions complete. To do so, I added a flag to
the call_single_data called CSD_FLAG_LOCK. When the single CPU is
called (which can be called when a many call fails an alloc), we
set the LOCK bit on this per cpu data. When the caller finishes
it clears the LOCK bit.

The caller must wait till the LOCK bit is cleared before setting
it. When it is cleared, there is no IPI function using it.

This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the
irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer.

Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency
tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and
it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there
is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused
myself.

I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that
after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show
KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because
I did not capture the trace.

Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when
it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a
developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of
the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears.

ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not
add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason
it should be at KERN_INFO.

      tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix a regression while suspend to disk · 00f57f54
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore

When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.

The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).

So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.

This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

      When doing large allocations (larger than the per-device coherent area)
the generic memory allocators are silently fallen back on regardless of
consideration for the per-device constraints.

In the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE case falling back on generic memory is not
an option, as it tends not to be addressable by the DMA hardware in
question. This issue showed up with the 8139too breakage on the
Dreamcast, where non-addressable buffers were silently allocated due to
the size mismatch calculation -- while it should have simply errored out
upon being unable to satisfy the allocation with the given device
constraints.

This restores fall back behaviour to what it was before the oversized
request change caused multiple regressions.
