git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull vfs update from Al Viro: - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of that is moved to fs/file.c (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle, there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)." Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file() interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers" vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of /proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket) * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (72 commits) MAX_LFS_FILESIZE should be a loff_t compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems btrfs: reada_extent doesn't need kref for refcount coredump: move core dump functionality into its own file coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper usb/gadget: fix misannotations fcntl: fix misannotations ceph: don't abuse d_delete() on failure exits hypfs: ->d_parent is never NULL or negative vfs: delete surplus inode NULL check switch simple cases of fget_light to fdget new helpers: fdget()/fdput() switch o2hb_region_dev_write() to fget_light() proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing files make get_file() return its argument vhost_set_vring(): turn pollstart/pollstop into bool switch prctl_set_mm_exe_file() to fget_light() switch xfs_find_handle() to fget_light() switch xfs_swapext() to fget_light() ...

From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Most of the activity was on the tooling side. Higher level changes: - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov. - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from Irina Tirdea - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function entry.

With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good solution. - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng. - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots of needless calls to libtraceevent. - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from Feng Tang - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from Feng Tang. Infrastructure enhancements and fixes: - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc. Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'. - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more readily caught. - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix from Eric Sandeen. - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in 'report', from Feng Tang. - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee. - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim. - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim. - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim. - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the 'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools. - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines, from David Ahern - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK browser, From Namhyung Kim - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter. - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa. - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep, fix from Jiri Olsa. - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim. - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim. - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it works in C++, from Steven Rostedt - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf exit routine can take place, from David Ahern - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern. - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments, from Maciek Borzecki - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes successfully. - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David Ahern - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung Kim - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set already, fix from Namhyung Kim - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter. - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility, from Namhyung Kim - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd line, from Robert Richter - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben Hutchings - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang. - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim. - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa. - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody Schafer. - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert Richter - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.

2012-09-24net: use a per task frag allocatorEric Dumazet
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

2012-09-16Revert "sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random ↵Linus Torvalds
perturbations" This reverts commit 970e178985cadbca660feb02f4d2ee3a09f7fdda. Nikolay Ulyanitsky reported thatthe 3.6-rc5 kernel has a 15-20% performance drop on PostgreSQL 9.2 on his machine (running "pgbench"). Borislav Petkov was able to reproduce this, and bisected it to this commit 970e178985ca ("sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies' ...") apparently because the new single-idle-buddy model simply doesn't find idle CPU's to reschedule on aggressively enough. Mike Galbraith suspects that it is likely due to the user-mode spinlocks in PostgreSQL not reacting well to preemption, but we don't really know the details - I'll just revert the commit for now. There are hopefully other approaches to improve scheduler scalability without it causing these kinds of downsides.

Add the new MMF_RECALC_UPROBES flag, it means that MMF_HAS_UPROBES can be false positive after remove_breakpoint() or uprobe_munmap(). It is also set by uprobe_dup_mmap(), this is not optimal but simple. We could add the new hook, uprobe_dup_vma(), to set MMF_HAS_UPROBES only if the new mm actually has uprobes, but I don't think this makes sense.

We can't use uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or mmap() from another thread. Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.

2012-08-08Revert "NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume"Rafael J. Wysocki
Revert commit 45226e9 (NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume) which breaks resume from system suspend on my SH7372 Mackerel board (by causing a NULL pointer dereference to happen) and is generally wrong, because it abuses the CPU hotplug functionality in a shamelessly blatant way. The original issue should be addressed through appropriate syscore resume callback instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2012-07-31mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq contextMel Gorman
This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of PF_MEMALLOC. Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in interrupts (hard or soft) context. Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag. The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to the following reasons Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags should not leak to an unrelated softirq. Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS flag. If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted, the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

2012-07-30NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resumeSameer Nanda
On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets suspended. Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup detector on the boot CPU during resume. To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason. Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes -- issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"' after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times. With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as expected. These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue causing the freeze.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.

I guess this probably works "in practice". synchronize_srcu() is slow and it implies synchronize_sched(), and the probed task enters the non- preemptible section at the start of exception handler.

Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the mostly idle case. Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[] array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit. So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar: "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result. This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc() calls without modifying user-space binaries. First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled. If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed within libc (binaries can be specified as well): $ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6 To probe libc's malloc(): $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to look very boring): $ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make [ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712 $ perf report | less 32.03% git libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc 29.49% cc1 libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--0.95%-- 0x208eb1000000000 | |--0.63%-- htab_traverse_noresize 11.04% as libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 7.15% ld libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 5.07% sh libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.99% python-config libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.54% make libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--7.34%-- glob | | | |--93.18%-- 0x41588f | | | --6.82%-- glob | 0x41588f ...

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."
