      introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file system · b7ed78f5
      由 Sage Weil 提交于 
      It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all
mounted file systems via sync(2):

 - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of
   them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server).  sync(2) will get stuck on
   those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /).
 - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then
   want to make sure it is flushed to disk.  Calling fsync(2) on each
   file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large
   amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file
   system.

There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block:

 - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev
   mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block
   file systems.
 - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the
   current implemention.  Relying on this little-known side effect for
   something like data safety sounds foolish.

Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications
do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged
operation.

This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and
syncs only the file system it references.  Maybe someday we can

 $ sync /some/path

and not get

 sync: ignoring all arguments

The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF.
syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).

A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see

      x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available · e8e999cf
      由 Namhyung Kim 提交于 
      Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

End result looks like below:

      x86: stop_machine_text_poke() should issue sync_core() · 0e00f7ae
      由 Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于 
      Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a
core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core
before the new instruction is made visible.

Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include
General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost.

This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after
interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing
instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts
are reenabled.

Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU
decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is
also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two
categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp)
and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after
stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore
handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification
initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified
text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code
modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code
modification, it falls into the XMC errata.

Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a
   serializing instruction) anyway?
A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be
   executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

      PM: Drop pm_flags that is not necessary · 6831c6ed
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled
along with ACPI, which would lead to problems.  However, acpi_init()
is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has
returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used.  Namely, if
acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means
that ACPI is enabled.  Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled
in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with
ACPI.

      ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index · 722b3c74
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      Currently the index to the ret_stack is updated and the real return address
is saved in the ret_stack. Then we call the trace function. The trace
function could decide that it doesn't want to trace this function
(ex. set_graph_function does not match) and it will return 0 which means
not to trace this call.

The normal function graph tracer has this code:

	if (!(trace->depth || ftrace_graph_addr(trace->func)) ||
	      ftrace_graph_ignore_irqs())
		return 0;

What this states is, if the trace depth (which is curr_ret_stack)
is zero (top of nested functions) then test if we want to trace this
function. If this function is not to be traced, then return  0 and
the rest of the function graph tracer logic will not trace this function.

The problem arises when an interrupt comes in after we updated the
curr_ret_stack. The next function that gets called will have a trace->depth
of 1. Which fools this trace code into thinking that we are in a nested
function, and that we should trace. This causes interrupts to be traced
when they should not be.

The solution is to trace the function first and then update the ret_stack.

      kprobes: Disabling optimized kprobes for entry text section · 2a8247a2
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      You can crash the kernel (with root/admin privileges) using kprobe tracer by running:

 echo "p system_call_after_swapgs" > ./kprobe_events
 echo 1 > ./events/kprobes/enable

The reason is that at the system_call_after_swapgs label, the
kernel stack is not set up. If optimized kprobes are enabled,
the user space stack is being used in this case (see optimized
kprobe template) and this might result in a crash.

There are several places like this over the entry code
(entry_$BIT). As it seems there's no any reasonable/maintainable
way to disable only those places where the stack is not ready, I
switched off the whole entry code from kprobe optimizing.

      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      On Intel Nehalem and Westmere CPUs the generic perf LLC-* events count the
L2 caches, not the real L3 LLC - this was inconsistent with behavior on
other CPUs.

Fixing this requires the use of the special OFFCORE_RESPONSE
events which need a separate mask register.

This has been implemented by the previous patch, now use this infrastructure
to set correct events for the LLC-* on Nehalem and Westmere.

      perf: Add support for supplementary event registers · a7e3ed1e
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Change logs against Andi's original version:

- Extends perf_event_attr:config to config{,1,2} (Peter Zijlstra)
- Fixed a major event scheduling issue. There cannot be a ref++ on an
  event that has already done ref++ once and without calling
  put_constraint() in between. (Stephane Eranian)
- Use thread_cpumask for percore allocation. (Lin Ming)
- Use MSR names in the extra reg lists. (Lin Ming)
- Remove redundant "c = NULL" in intel_percore_constraints
- Fix comment of perf_event_attr::config1

Intel Nehalem/Westmere have a special OFFCORE_RESPONSE event
that can be used to monitor any offcore accesses from a core.
This is a very useful event for various tunings, and it's
also needed to implement the generic LLC-* events correctly.

Unfortunately this event requires programming a mask in a separate
register. And worse this separate register is per core, not per
CPU thread.

This patch:

- Teaches perf_events that OFFCORE_RESPONSE needs extra parameters.
  The extra parameters are passed by user space in the
  perf_event_attr::config1 field.

- Adds support to the Intel perf_event core to schedule per
  core resources. This adds fairly generic infrastructure that
  can be also used for other per core resources.
  The basic code has is patterned after the similar AMD northbridge
  constraints code.

Thanks to Stephane Eranian who pointed out some problems
in the original version and suggested improvements.

      This patch updates PEBS event constraints for Intel Atom, Nehalem, Westmere.

This patch also reorganizes the PEBS format/constraint detection code. It is
now based on processor model and not PEBS format. Two processors may use the
same PEBS format without have the same list of PEBS events.

In this second version, we simplified the initialization of the PEBS
constraints by leveraging the existing switch() statement in perf_event_intel.c.
We also renamed the constraint tables to be more consistent with regular
constraints.

In this 3rd version, we drop BR_INST_RETIRED.MISPRED from Intel Atom as it does
not seem to work. Use MISPREDICTED_BRANCH_RETIRED instead. Also add FP_ASSIST.*
o both Intel Nehalem and Westmere. I misssed those in the earlier patches.

The commit made an undocumented change where the kernel linear mapping
strictly follows intersection of e820 memory map and NUMA
configuration.  If the physical memory configuration has holes or NUMA
nodes are not properly aligned, this leads to using unnecessarily
smaller mapping size which leads to increased TLB pressure.  For
details,

Patches to fix the problem have been proposed but the underlying code
needs more cleanup and the approach itself seems a bit heavy handed
and it has been determined to revert the feature for now and come back
to it in the next developement cycle.

As init_memory_mapping_high() callsites have been consolidated since
the commit, reverting is done manually.  Also, the RED-PEN comment in
arch/x86/mm/init.c is not restored as the problem no longer exists
with memblock based top-down early memory allocation.
