2013-09-04sched/cputime: Do not scale when utime == 0Stanislaw Gruszka
scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime results in negative value. User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME values on ps/top, for example: $ ps aux | grep rcu root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward, new events will simply generate file modified event and the existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.

This also should make ACPIPHP work in some cases in which it was known to have problems. From Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov. 2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki. 3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from Rafael J Wysocki. 4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the field already). One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator, is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing problems to happen. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim. 5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger. 6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with the latter from Ben Guthro. 7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI backlight and possibly other things will not work on them). From Felipe Contreras. 8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo, Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen, Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun. 9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially, it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional to load) from Stratos Karafotis. 10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat. 11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the driver core. From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha. 12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and driver module references from Viresh Kumar, Lukasz Majewski and Rafael J Wysocki. 13) Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Amit Daniel Kachhap, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Hanjun Guo, Jingoo Han, Joseph Lo, Julia Lawall, Li Zhong, Mark Brown, Sascha Hauer, Stephen Boyd, Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar. 14) Fixes to prevent race conditions in coupled cpuidle from happening from Colin Cross. 15) cpuidle core fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano and Tuukka Tikkanen. 16) Assorted cpuidle fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Geert Uytterhoeven, Jingoo Han, Julia Lawall, Linus Walleij, and Sahara. 17) System sleep tracing changes from Todd E Brandt and Shuah Khan. 18) PNP subsystem conversion to using struct dev_pm_ops for power management from Shuah Khan. * tag 'pm+acpi-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (217 commits) cpufreq: Don't use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context cpuidle: coupled: fix race condition between pokes and safe state cpuidle: coupled: abort idle if pokes are pending cpuidle: coupled: disable interrupts after entering safe state ACPI / hotplug: Remove containers synchronously driver core / ACPI: Avoid device hot remove locking issues cpufreq: governor: Fix typos in comments cpufreq: governors: Remove duplicate check of target freq in supported range cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption due to double queueing ACPI / EC: Add ASUSTEK L4R to quirk list in order to validate ECDT ACPI / thermal: Add check of "_TZD" availability and evaluating result cpufreq: imx6q: Fix clock enable balance ACPI: blacklist win8 OSI for buggy laptops cpufreq: tegra: fix the wrong clock name cpuidle: Change struct menu_device field types cpuidle: Add a comment warning about possible overflow cpuidle: Fix variable domains in get_typical_interval() cpuidle: Fix menu_device->intervals type cpuidle: CodingStyle: Break up multiple assignments on single line cpuidle: Check called function parameter in get_typical_interval() ...

2013-09-03module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too earlyLi Zhong
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below. After some investigation, it seems the reason is: The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory. This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be really released in the module removing process (and some error code paths).

We should not keep such domains and do in fact have code to prune these. It turns out that the 'new' SD_PREFER_SIBLING flag causes this, it makes sd_parent_degenerate() fail on the CPU domain. We can easily fix this by 'ignoring' the SD_PREFER_SIBLING bit and transfering it to whatever domain ends up covering the span. With this patch the domains now look like this: [ 0.950419] CPU0 attaching sched-domain: [ 0.954454] domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING [ 0.959039] groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588) [ 0.965271] domain 1: span 0-5,12-17 level MC [ 0.969936] groups: 0,12 (cpu_power = 1175) 1,13 (cpu_power = 1176) 2,14 (cpu_power = 1176) 3,15 (cpu_power = 1176) 4,16 (cpu_power = 1176) 5,17 (cpu_power = 1176) [ 0.985737] domain 2: span 0-23 level NUMA [ 0.990231] groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) 6-11,18-23 (cpu_power = 7056) Reviewed-by: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ys201g4jwukj0h8xcamakxq1@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2013-09-02sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()Joonsoo Kim
Now checking whether this cpu is appropriate to balance or not is embedded into update_sg_lb_stats() and this checking has no direct relationship to this function. There is not enough reason to place this checking at update_sg_lb_stats(), except saving one iteration for sched_group_cpus. In this patch, I factor out this checking to should_we_balance() function. And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately. With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better compiler optimization.

2013-08-31nohz_full: Force RCU's grace-period kthreads onto timekeeping CPUPaul E. McKenney
Because RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism is used to drive the full-system-idle state machine, and because this mechanism is executed by RCU's grace-period kthreads, this commit forces these kthreads to run on the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu). To do otherwise would mean that the RCU grace-period kthreads would force the system into non-idle state every time they drove the state machine, which would be just a bit on the futile side.

2013-08-31nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machinePaul E. McKenney
This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets. It did fix some important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here too. Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6 output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk attached. The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want to send to other devices too. That's really bad behavior. Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change. 2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago. From Eric Dumazet. 3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne. 4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the skb->sk too early. Fix from Li Hongjun. 5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from Chris Clark. 6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain alloc_skb() for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner mark which needs to see the skb->sk for such frames. From Phil Oester. 7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz, specifically in the handling of virtual functions. 8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when we have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules. Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg. 10) Fix network namespace handing wrt. SCM_RIGHTS, from Andy Lutomirski. 11) Fix usage of bogus NAPI weight in jme, netxen, and ps3_gelic drivers. From Michal Schmidt. 12) Hopefully a complete and correct fix for the genetlink dump locking and module reference counting. From Pravin B Shelar. 13) sk_busy_loop() must do a cpu_relax(), from Eliezer Tamir. 14) Fix handling of timestamp offset when restoring a snapshotted TCP socket.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo: "During the percpu reference counting update which was merged during v3.11-rc1, the cgroup destruction path was updated so that a cgroup in the process of dying may linger on the children list, which was necessary as the cgroup should still be included in child/descendant iteration while percpu ref is being killed. Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g. "rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail. This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to verify that there's no live child left. While this is very late in the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe the fix is relatively safe. Thanks Hugh for spotting and providing fix for the issue" * 'for-3.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11
2013-08-29perf: make events stream always parsableAdrian Hunter
The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened. Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it. This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last position. In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the perf.data file.

2013-08-29cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11Hugh Dickins
On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should have been removed. Here's a trivial reproducer: cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list. Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed: those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir. (I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.) tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.

2013-08-29workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work itemTejun Heo
If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU. This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock. Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to stop_machine. Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.
