This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
.
. ... raw event: size 72 bytes

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)

At first, init_task's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
init_task->mems_allowed == node_state[N_POSSIBLE]
And cpuset's top_cpuset mask is initialized as this
top_cpuset->mems_allowed = node_state[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
Before 2.6.29:
policy's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
1. update tasks->mems_allowed by its cpuset->mems_allowed.
2. policy->mems_allowed = nodes_and(tasks->mems_allowed, user's mask)
Updating task's mems_allowed in reference to top_cpuset's one.
cpuset's mems_allowed is aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY, always.
In 2.6.30: After commit 58568d2a8215cb6f55caf2332017d7bdff954e1c
("cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time"), policy's mems_allowed
is initialized as this.
1. policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(task->mems_allowed, user's mask)
Here, if task is in top_cpuset, task->mems_allowed is not updated from
init's one. Assume user excutes command as #numactrl --interleave=all
,....
policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(N_POSSIBLE, ALL_SET_MASK)
Then, policy's mems_allowd can includes a possible node, which has no pgdat.
MPOL's INTERLEAVE just scans nodemask of task->mems_allowd and access this
directly.
NODE_DATA(nid)->zonelist even if NODE_DATA(nid)==NULL
Then, what's we need is making policy->mems_allowed be aware of
N_HIGH_MEMORY. This patch does that. But to do so, extra nodemask will
be on statck. Because I know cpumask has a new interface of
CPUMASK_ALLOC(), I added it to node.
This patch stands on old behavior. But I feel this fix itself is just a
Band-Aid. But to do fundametal fix, we have to take care of memory
hotplug and it takes time. (task->mems_allowd should be N_HIGH_MEMORY, I
think.)
mpol_set_nodemask() should be aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY and policy's nodemask
should be includes only online nodes.
In old behavior, this is guaranteed by frequent reference to cpuset's
code. Now, most of them are removed and mempolicy has to check it by
itself.
To do check, a few nodemask_t will be used for calculating nodemask. But,
size of nodemask_t can be big and it's not good to allocate them on stack.
Now, cpumask_t has CPUMASK_ALLOC/FREE an easy code for get scratch area.
NODEMASK_ALLOC/FREE shoudl be there.

When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race
in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete
the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.
This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this,
the actual fix will be in th next patch. As XFS was the only reason
destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode.

Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional
initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because
inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up
deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.
Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would
free an inode we still want to keep alive.

Not all tracepoints are created equal, in specific the ftrace
tracepoints are created with TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT() which does
not generate the needed bits to tie them into perf counters.
For those events, don't create the 'id' file and fail
->profile_enable when their ID is specified through other
means.

This is pure preparation of changing the ldisc reference counting to be
a true refcount that defines the lifetime of the ldisc. But this is a
purely syntactic change for now to make the next steps easier.
This patch should make no semantic changes at all. But I wanted to make
the ldisc refcount be an atomic (I will be touching it without locks
soon enough), and I wanted to rename it so that there isn't quite as
much confusion between 'ldo->refcount' (ldisk operations refcount) and
'ld->refcount' (ldisc refcount itself) in the same file.
So it's now an atomic 'ld->users' count. It still starts at zero,
despite having a reference from 'tty->ldisc', but that will change once
we turn it into a _real_ refcount.

In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to
inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for
PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay
instrumentation (bootchart) app.
This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every
clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit,
after the task's counters have been closed.
This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap
and through the new attr.task field.

Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation
failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc()
that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures.
But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides.
Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518
I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so
never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has
PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level.
So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total
storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on
64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing
this in the code.
There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an
overview:
flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure
flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the
second-level pages
flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but
not the base (for static bases)
flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index
flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index
flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages
between the given indexes to
guarantee no allocs will occur at
put() time.
We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the
API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one
more base pointer on 32-bit.
I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch
that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to
generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs.

After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix
frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg)
doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all
refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can
wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings.
- set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
- clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
- rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844
("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").
We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.

We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.
So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.
This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a54297478e6578f96fd54bf4daa1751130aca86: "pty: quickfix for the
pty ENXIO timing problems").

Create bdgrab(). This function copies an existing reference to a
block_device. It is safe to call from any context.
Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device.
Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because
bdget() can sleep. It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already
hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects
against swapoff).

On certain configurations, HPA isn't or can't be unlocked during
probing but it somehow ends up unlocked afterwards. In the following
thread, the problem can be reliably reproduced after resuming from
STR. The BIOS turns on HPA during boot but forgets to do it during
resume.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/858310
This patch updates libata revalidation such that it considers native
n_sectors. If the device size has increased to match native
n_sectors, it's assumed that HPA has been unlocked involuntarily and
the device is recognized as the same one. This should be fairly safe
while nicely working around the problem.
