debugobjects warns about an enqueued timer being initialized. If
CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y the user management code uses delayed work to
remove the user from the hash table and tear down the sysfs objects.
free_uid is called from RCU and initializes/schedules delayed work if
the usage count of the user_struct is 0. The init/schedule happens
outside of the uidhash_lock protected region which allows a concurrent
caller of find_user() to reference the about to be destroyed
user_struct w/o preventing the work from being scheduled. If the next
free_uid call happens before the work timer expired then the active
timer is initialized and the work scheduled again.
The race was introduced in commit 5cb350ba (sched: group scheduling,
sysfs tunables) and made more prominent by commit 3959214f (sched:
delayed cleanup of user_struct)
Move the init/schedule_delayed_work inside of the uidhash_lock
protected region to prevent the race.

I got a boot crash when forcing cpumasks offstack on 32 bit,
because find_new_ilb() returned 3 on my UP system (nohz.cpu_mask
wasn't zeroed).
AFAICT the others need to be zeroed too: only
nohz.ilb_grp_nohz_mask is initialized before use.

Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) failed like this:

Since commit 02b51df1b07b4e9ca823c89284e704cadb323cd1 (proc connector: add

The warning is
---> WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());
The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the
connector.
After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from
__set_special_pids to sys_setsid.
We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.
One last thing:
There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
additional patch (Scott?)

We create a dummy struct kernel_param on the stack for parsing each
array element, but we didn't initialize the flags word. This matters
for arrays of type "bool", where the flag indicates if it really is
an array of bools or unsigned int (old-style).

e180a6b7759a "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.
Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all:
1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.
The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr ==
NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where
the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up)
See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com>
The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to
be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that
due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined
as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns
correctly EWOULDBLOCK.
Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do
the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let
it deal with the spurious wakeup.

Commit 34d76c41 introduced percpu array update_shares_data, size of which
being proportional to NR_CPUS. Unfortunately this blows up ia64 for large
NR_CPUS configuration, as ia64 allows only 64k for .percpu section.
Fix this by allocating this array dynamically and keep only pointer to it
percpu.
The per-cpu handling doesn't impose significant performance penalty on
potentially contented path in tg_shares_up().

This patch creates a synchronize_srcu_expedited() that uses
synchronize_sched_expedited() where synchronize_srcu()
uses synchronize_sched(). The synchronize_srcu() and
synchronize_srcu_expedited() functions become one-liners that
pass synchronize_sched() or synchronize_sched_expedited(),
repectively, to a new __synchronize_srcu() function.
While in the file, move the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s to immediately
follow the corresponding functions.

This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a
small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the
implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and
high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the
four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT)
on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU
(which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes
compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30):
CONFIG_TREE_RCU:
text data bss dec filename
183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o
2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o
3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7)
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU:
text data bss dec filename
263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o
4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o
5689 Total (6155 for v7)
CONFIG_TINY_RCU:
text data bss dec filename
96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o
734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o
858 Total (vs 848 for v7)
The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms.
Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated.
Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388)
o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from
might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds).
o Fix up expedited primitives.
Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293).
o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream.
o Added lockdep support.
o Make lightweight rcu_barrier.
Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12).
o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel.
- Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs().
- Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs().
- Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify().
- Provided trivial exit_rcu().
- Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu().
- Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h.
o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making
TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future.
o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods.
Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include:
o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the
->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk.
o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function.
Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as
rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from
rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh().
Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include:
o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh()
rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and
rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David
Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o.
(The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly
comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.)
Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include:
o Fix whitespace issues.
o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order
to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN.
(http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/)
Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include:
o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested
by Ingo.
o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero,
permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time.
This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to
dynticks-idle mode.
o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at
the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said
that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems.
o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.

CPU time of a guest is always accounted in 'user' time
without concern for the nice value of its counterpart
process although the guest is scheduled under the nice
value.
This patch fixes the defect and accounts cpu time of
a niced guest in 'nice' time as same as a niced process.
And also the patch adds 'guest_nice' to cpuacct. The
value provides niced guest cpu time which is like 'nice'
to 'user'.

trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:
trace_seq_printf(s, "");
is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.
We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.
Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing
pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also
switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely
mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which
improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp
scalability.
Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the
point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely
sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively,
which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing
aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp
throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is
actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the
desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service.
Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale.
To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing
wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time.
Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

Today I got:
[39648.224782] Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX
[40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed
[40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ...
as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix.
Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much.
This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the
function name that calls ratelimit.
This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several
different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at
the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that
calls ratelimit after the wait period.

when enabling/disabling swevent hrtimers
Make the hrtimer based events work for sysprof.
Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled.
When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This
happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never
expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and
over with the same period.
To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when
reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the
user-specified sampling period.
Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper
functions instead of duplicating the code.

Right now when calling schedule_on_each_cpu() from keventd there
is a deadlock because it tries to schedule a work item on the current CPU

Just call the function for the current CPU in this case. This is actually
faster too.
