Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure
independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit
d5a877e8dd409d8c702986d06485c374b705d340), because it would report
the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and
pending async work.
This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem,
resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init',
causing a boot-time panic.
This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if
there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any
pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list.
There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one
also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and
the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if
the list is empty, the for_each_entry() thing just won't execute).

Commit 95a3540da9c81a5987be810e1d9a83640a366bd5 ("ptrace_detach: the wrong
wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic") removed the "extra"
wake_up_process() from ptrace_detach(), but as Jan pointed out this breaks
the compatibility.
I believe the changelog is right and this wake_up() is wrong in many
ways, but GDB assumes that ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0) always
wakes up the tracee.
Despite the fact this breaks SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED/group_stop_count logic,
and despite the fact this wake_up_process() can break another
assumption: PTRACE_DETACH with SIGSTOP should leave the tracee in
TASK_STOPPED case. Because the untraced child can dequeue SIGSTOP and
call do_signal_stop() before ptrace_detach() calls wake_up_process().
Revert this change for now. We need some fixes even if we we want to keep
the current behaviour, but these fixes are not for 2.6.30.

The "trace || CLONE_PTRACE" check in tracehook_report_clone() is not right,
- If the untraced task does clone(CLONE_PTRACE) the new child is not traced,
we must not queue SIGSTOP.
- If we forked the traced task, but the tracer exits and untraces both the
forking task and the new child (after copy_process() drops tasklist_lock),
we should not queue SIGSTOP too.
Change the code to check task_ptrace() != 0 instead. This is still racy, but
the race is harmless.
We can race with another tracer attaching to this child, or the tracer can
exit and detach in parallel. But giwen that we didn't do wake_up_new_task()
yet, the child must have the pending SIGSTOP anyway.

PM: Do not hold dpm_list_mtx while disabling/enabling nonboot CPUs
|
|
The problem occurs when async_synchronize_full_domain() is called when
the async_pending list is not empty. This will cause lowest_running()
to return the cookie of the first entry on the async_pending list, which
might be nothing at all to do with the domain being asked for and thus
cause the domain synchronization to wait for an unrelated domain. This
can cause a deadlock if domain synchronization is used from one domain
to wait for another.
Fix by running over the async_pending list to see if any pending items
actually belong to our domain (and return their cookies if they do).

We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing
[disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead
to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes
Berg):
CPU 3 CPU 2 CPU 1
suspend/hibernate
something:
rtnl_lock() device_pm_lock()
-> mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx)
mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx)
linkwatch_work
-> rtnl_lock()
disable_nonboot_cpus()
-> flush CPU 3 workqueue
Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that
might lead to the registration of new device objects way before
disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to
hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and
early part of device resume.
Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire
dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release
it right after that.
This patch is reported to fix the regressions tracked as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13245.

Presently non-legacy IRQs have their irq_desc allocated with
kzalloc_node(). This assumes that all callers of irq_to_desc_node_alloc()
will be sufficiently late in the boot process that kmalloc is available.
While porting sparseirq support to sh this blew up immediately, as at the
time that we register the CPU's interrupt vector map only bootmem is
available. Check slab_is_available() to work out which path to use.

The futex code installs a read only mapping via get_user_pages_fast()
even if the futex op function has to modify user space data. The
eventual fault was fixed up by futex_handle_fault() which walked the
VMA with mmap_sem held.
After the cleanup patches which removed the mmap_sem dependency of the
futex code commit 4dc5b7a36a49eff97050894cf1b3a9a02523717 (futex:
clean up fault logic) removed the private VMA walk logic from the
futex code. This change results in a stale RO mapping which is not
fixed up.
Instead of reintroducing the previous fault logic we set up the
mapping in get_user_pages_fast() read/write for all operations which
modify user space data. Also handle private futexes in the same way
and make the current unconditional access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE) depend on
the futex op.

PM: check sysdev_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE) return value

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with
gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2dbf968fdbe516359688094eef4d46581) all
WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg:
WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()
because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the
__builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that
caused the warning.
Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently,
using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the
right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for
the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up.
Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems.
The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.
Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

Commit 79e539453b34e35f39299a899d263b0a1f1670bd introduced a
regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution
is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for
graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not
anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the
code were cleaned up as well.
This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it
generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used
in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

This reverts commit fafd688e4c0c34da0f3de909881117d374e4c7af.
Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.
Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.
Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

When a thread is oom killed and fails to exit, it's helpful to know which
threads have access to memory reserves if the machine livelocks. This is
done by testing for the TIF_MEMDIE thread info flag and should be
displayed alongside stack traces to identify tasks that have access to
such reserves but are still stuck allocating pages, for instance.
It would probably be helpful in other cases as well, so all thread info
flags are emitted when showing a task.

There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.
inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock
The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.
The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.
Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31. I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

Thomas noted that we should disallow sysctl_sched_rt_runtime == 0 for
(!RT_GROUP) since the root group always has some RT tasks in it.
Further, update the documentation to inspire clue.

tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

This reverts commit 044d408409cc4e1bc75c886e27ca85c270db104c.
The commit added a warning when handle_IRQ_event() is called outside
of hard interrupt context. This breaks the generic tasklet based
interrupt resend mechanism which is used when the hardware has no way
to retrigger the interrupt. So we get a warning for a use case which
is correct and worked for years. Remove it.

Andrew Gallatin reported that IRQ and SOFTIRQ times were
sometime not reported correctly on recent kernels, and even
bisected to commit 457533a7d3402d1d91fbc125c8bd1bd16dcd3cd4
([PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting) as the first
bad commit.
Further analysis pointed that commit
79741dd35713ff4f6fd0eafd59fa94e8a4ba922d ([PATCH] idle cputime
accounting) was the real cause of the problem.
account_process_tick() was not taking into account timer IRQ
interrupting the idle task servicing a hard or soft irq.
On mostly idle cpu, irqs were thus not accounted and top or
mpstat could tell user/admin that cpu was 100 % idle, 0.00 %
irq, 0.00 % softirq, while it was not.

The pages allocated for the splice binary buffer did not initialize

This simplifies the node awareness of the code. All our allocators
only deal with a NUMA node ID locality not with CPU ids anyway - so
there's no need to maintain (and transform) a CPU id all across the
IRq layer.
