2012-12-05MODSIGN: Don't use enum-type bitfields in module signature info blockDavid Howells
Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four bytes. Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right order without padding.

2012-12-04watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regressionThomas Gleixner
Norbert reported: "3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical system." The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non initialized data structures. Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "So, safe fixes my ass. Commit 8852aac25e79 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane use cases. Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to save some bytes. Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync() but I think we better do that after 3.7. I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are more such abuses." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work
2012-12-04workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()sTejun Heo
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and then pass that into queue_delayed_work(). Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON(). Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

2012-12-01workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delayTejun Heo
8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()") implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations. Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on() makes the target item immediately executable while mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick. This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users. e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number of context switches under certain circumstances. The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it - ("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1]. The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and I missed that it was a correctness issue. As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use __queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on(). Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces Joonsoo's patch.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

2012-11-26futex: avoid wake_futex() for a PI futex_qDarren Hart
Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test exposed. Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash. While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() do not perform the same test. Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition is true. This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

2012-11-16rcu: Separate accounting of callbacks from callback-free CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, callback invocations from callback-free CPUs are accounted to the CPU that registered the callback, but using the same field that is used for normal callbacks. This makes it impossible to determine from debugfs output whether callbacks are in fact being diverted. This commit therefore adds a separate ->n_nocbs_invoked field in the rcu_data structure in which diverted callback invocations are counted. RCU's debugfs tracing still displays normal callback invocations using ci=, but displayed diverted callbacks with nci=. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-11-16rcu: Add callback-free CPUsPaul E. McKenney
RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors, energy efficiency. This commit therefore adds the ability for selected CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded to kthreads. If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified, these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded CPUs to do wakeups. At least one CPU must be doing normal callback processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU. In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail. This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's kbuild test robot.

2012-11-15cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat modeYouquan Song
The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving. cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8 C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time. There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat) at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5 seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is idle until break event occurs. In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice deep C-state stays at >99.98%. In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively. When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates deeper C-states possibility. Below is another case which will clearly show the patch much benefit: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <time.h> #include <pthread.h> volatile int * shutdown; volatile long * count; int delay = 20; int loop = 8; void usage(void) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: idle_predict [options]\n" " --help -h Print this help\n" " --thread -n Thread number\n" " --loop -l Loop times in shallow Cstate\n" " --delay -t Sleep time (uS)in shallow Cstate\n"); } void *simple_loop() { int idle_num = 1; while (!(*shutdown)) { *count = *count + 1; if (idle_num % loop) usleep(delay); else { /* sleep 1 second */ usleep(1000000); idle_num = 0; } idle_num++; } } static void sighand(int sig) { *shutdown = 1; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { sigset_t sigset; int signum = SIGALRM; int i, c, er = 0, thread_num = 8; pthread_t pt[1024]; static char optstr[] = "n:l:t:h:"; while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, optstr)) != EOF) switch (c) { case 'n': thread_num = atoi(optarg); break; case 'l': loop = atoi(optarg); break; case 't': delay = atoi(optarg); break; case 'h': default: usage(); exit(1); } printf("thread=%d,loop=%d,delay=%d\n",thread_num,loop,delay); count = malloc(sizeof(long)); shutdown = malloc(sizeof(int)); *count = 0; *shutdown = 0; sigemptyset(&sigset); sigaddset(&sigset, signum); sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL); signal(SIGINT, sighand); signal(SIGTERM, sighand); for(i = 0; i < thread_num ; i++) pthread_create(&pt[i], NULL, simple_loop, NULL); for (i = 0; i < thread_num; i++) pthread_join(pt[i], NULL); exit(0); } Get powertop V2 from git://github.com/fenrus75/powertop, build powertop. After build the above test application, then run it. Test plaform can be Intel Sandybridge or other recent platforms. #./idle_predict -l 10 & #./powertop We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to sleep 1 second in deep C-state. While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-11-15ACPI / processor: prevent cpu from becoming onlineYasuaki Ishimatsu
Even if acpi_processor_handle_eject() offlines cpu, there is a chance to online the cpu after that. So the patch closes the window by using get/put_online_cpus(). Why does the patch change _cpu_up() logic? The patch cares the race of hot-remove cpu and _cpu_up(). If the patch does not change it, there is the following race. hot-remove cpu | _cpu_up() ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ call acpi_processor_handle_eject() | call cpu_down() | call get_online_cpus() | | call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here call arch_unregister_cpu() | call acpi_unmap_lsapic() | call put_online_cpus() | | start and continue _cpu_up() return acpi_processor_remove() | continue hot-remove the cpu | So _cpu_up() can continue to itself. And hot-remove cpu can also continue itself. If the patch changes _cpu_up() logic, the race disappears as below: hot-remove cpu | _cpu_up() ----------------------------------------------------------------------- call acpi_processor_handle_eject() | call cpu_down() | call get_online_cpus() | | call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here call arch_unregister_cpu() | call acpi_unmap_lsapic() | cpu's cpu_present is set | to false by set_cpu_present()| call put_online_cpus() | | start _cpu_up() | check cpu_present() and return -EINVAL return acpi_processor_remove() | continue hot-remove the cpu | Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-11-13rcu: Fix batch-limit size problemEric Dumazet
Commit 29c00b4a1d9e27 (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch() Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue, instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes the effective limit being 1. So, unless there is frequent idle periods (during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate, eventually resulting in OOM. This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters controlling the batch limits.

2012-11-12genirq: Always force thread affinityThomas Gleixner
Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases: 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified. 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to change its affinity. 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving the thread either. Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y) Reported-and-tested-by: Sankara Muthukrishnan <sankara.m@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1209041738200.2754@ionos Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2012-11-08rcu: Remove old debugfs interfaces and also RCU flavor nameMichael Wang
This commit removes the old debugfs interfaces, so that the new directory-per-RCU-flavor versions remain. Because the RCU flavor is given by the directory name, there is no need to print it out, so remove the name from the printout.
