When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0a ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console(). Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch.

Extend the /proc/<pid>/cgroup file to include the appropriate hierarchy ID on each line. Currently this ID isn't really needed since a hierarchy can be completely identified by the set of subsystems bound to it, but this is likely to change in the near future in order to support stateless subsystems and merging/rebinding of subsystems. Getting this change into 2.6.25 reduces the need for an API change later.

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives. Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style : a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed. The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached. However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished, hence the race. The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the scheduler). The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone. Signed-off-by: NMathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: NPaul E.

add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code. To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event. Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the other CPU of the change in the timer wheel. Call this function from add_timer_on().

由 Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> This patch is based on the one from Thomas. The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one. That's the preamble. The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be) in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy and its socket will be bound to another id. The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys, that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg. The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only. Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid as well. A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in the audit_filter_syscall.

improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes after it wakes up some other task. Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short, it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily. ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

Currently we schedule to the leftmost task in the runqueue. When the runtimes are very short because of some server/client ping-pong, especially in over-saturated workloads, this will cycle through all tasks trashing the cache. Reduce cache trashing by keeping dependent tasks together by running newly woken tasks first. However, by not running the leftmost task first we could starve tasks because the wakee can gain unlimited runtime. Therefore we only run the wakee if its within a small (wakeup_granularity) window of the leftmost task. This preserves fairness, but does alternate server/client task groups.
