      [PATCH] lockdep: core · fbb9ce95
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
      reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
      you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.
      
      Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
      voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
      can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.
      
      What does the lock validator do?  It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
      they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
      rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
      new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
      rules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
      new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the
      new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.
      
      When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
      considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
      context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
      locking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate
      scenarios.  This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
      rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
      certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
      implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
      corrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals
      of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
      Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]
      
      Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
      enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
      via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
      drastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
      the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
      which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
      That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a
      race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
      for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its
      short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
      actually caused a real deadlock.
      
      To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
      "lock instance", but per "lock-class".  For example, all struct inode objects
      in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
      then there are 10,000 lock objects.  But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
      type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
      "unified" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class
      approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
      (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
      different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The
      set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.
      
      To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
      portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:
      
       lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]

      [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging · 9a11b49a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Generic lock debugging:
      
       - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
         subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
      
       - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
         the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
         hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
      
       - ability to do silent tests
      
       - check lock freeing in vfree too.
      
       - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
         turn off more expensive debugging features.
      
      There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
      stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
      classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
      checks whether we are holding a lock already)
      
      Here are the current debugging options:
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
      
      which do:
      
       config DEBUG_MUTEXES
                bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
      
       config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
               bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"

      [PATCH] time initialisation fix · 88fecaa2
      john stultz 提交于
      We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run.
      But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with
      local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die.
      
      Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init().
      
      We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's
      machine.  That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem.  THe patch adds a little
      bit of debugging to detect that.
      
      This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot
      keeps on biting us.

      [PATCH] remove fixup_cpu_present_map() · 9a98e2f7
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a
      no-op.  That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if
      it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit.
      
      So remove fixup_cpu_present_map().
      
      A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the
      architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in
      smp_prepare_cpus()).  fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more.
      
      If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU.
      
      The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no
      longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps -
      boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

      [PATCH] cpuset: remove test for null cpuset from alloc code path · c417f024
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      Remove a couple of more lines of code from the cpuset hooks in the page
      allocation code path.
      
      There was a check for a NULL cpuset pointer in the routine
      cpuset_update_task_memory_state() that was only needed during system boot,
      after the memory subsystem was initialized, before the cpuset subsystem was
      initialized, to catch a NULL task->cpuset pointer.
      
      Add a cpuset_init_early() routine, just before the mem_init() call in
      init/main.c, that sets up just enough of the init tasks cpuset structure to
      render cpuset_update_task_memory_state() calls harmless.

      [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks · 5bfb5d69
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
      
      Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
      How did it ever work before?
      
      Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
      
      We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
      need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
      
      After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
      into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
      previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
      
      By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
      fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

      [PATCH] i386: move apic init in init_IRQs · f2b36db6
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      All kinds of ugliness exists because we don't initialize
      the apics during init_IRQs.
      - We calibrate jiffies in non apic mode even when we are using apics.
      - We have to have special code to initialize the apics when non-smp.
      - The legacy i8259 must exist and be setup correctly, even
        when we won't use it past initialization.
      - The kexec on panic code must restore the state of the io_apics.
      - init/main.c needs a special case for !smp smp_init on x86
      
      In addition to pure code movement I needed a couple
      of non-obvious changes:
      - Move setup_boot_APIC_clock into APIC_late_time_init for
        simplicity.
      - Use cpu_khz to generate a better approximation of loops_per_jiffies
        so I can verify the timer interrupt is working.
      - Call setup_apic_nmi_watchdog again after cpu_khz is initialized on
        the boot cpu.

      [PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages · e7c8d5c9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.
      
      Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets.  So any particular CPU has some
      memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself.  Even if that CPU is
      not local to that zone.
      
      So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
      to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
      zone.  This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
      done with information available locally.
      
      We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
      pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
