sched: revert load_balance_monitor() changes

The following commits cause a number of regressions:
commit 58e2d4ca581167c2a079f4ee02be2f0bc52e8729
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
sched: group scheduling, change how cpu load is calculated
commit 6b2d7700266b9402e12824e11e0099ae6a4a6a79
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
sched: group scheduler, fix fairness of cpu bandwidth allocation for task groups
Namely:
- very frequent wakeups on SMP, reported by PowerTop users.
- cacheline trashing on (large) SMP
- some latencies larger than 500ms
While there is a mergeable patch to fix the latter, the former issues
are not fixable in a manner suitable for .25 (we're at -rc3 now).
Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.

This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment
of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states.
As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks
from doing anything significant. For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and
TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough". It's possible the tasks might resume
from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals
(including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc). But this
doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is
in effect. Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that
try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of
stop. This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested.
Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from
suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all
your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them.
It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for
ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we
should do this only when the whole process exits.
2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.
Use ->group_leader instead.
Test case:
void hup(int sig)
{
printf("HUP received\n");
}
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(2);
printf("sub-thread exited\n");
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (!fork()) {
signal(SIGHUP, hup);
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
exit(0);
}
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
sleep(1);
printf("main thread exited\n");
syscall(__NR_exit, 0);
return 0;
}
output:
main thread exited
HUP received
Hangup
With this patch the output is:
main thread exited
sub-thread exited
HUP received

p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.
Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.
However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.
As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.
Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.
Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

Hi,
While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE
(end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog.
Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit
daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure
state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic.
This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules.
These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel
interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the
default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call
audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come
through while auditd is stopped.
This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by
just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and
if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use
printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try?
At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will
eventually know that things went bad.
The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd
disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send
it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the
last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code
path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If
auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk
this code path.

This patch fixes a potentially invalid access to a per-CPU variable in
rcu_process_callbacks().
This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that
the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the
value accessed have completed. Even though this code is currently only
invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some
other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such
an assumption.

This fixes a oops encountered when doing hibernate/resume in presence of
PREEMPT_RCU.
The problem was that the code failed to disable preemption when
accessing a per-CPU variable. This is OK when called from code that
already has preemption disabled, but such is not the case from the
suspend/resume code path.

Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (CONDITION)
return;
schedule();
is racy wrt another CPU doing
CONDITION = 1;
wake_up_process(p);
because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.
Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.
However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).
This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.
Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.
Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would
add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It
is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to
register robust lists.
Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already
architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support.
Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization
code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled.
On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime
CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features.
On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and
the PI/robust features are enabled.
The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked,
when the detection fails.

During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the
help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices'
->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4
system sleep state.
But at least for some devices the operations performed by the
->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations
during regular suspend.
For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and
pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase
of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as
appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a
special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way.
These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related
to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488).

The default_disable() function was changed in commit:
76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21
genirq: do not mask interrupts by default
It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed
interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in
free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for
those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we
can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.
Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
shutdown nor a disable function.

* Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and
vfsmount of a struct path in the right order
* Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path)
* Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional()

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:
without patch series:
text data bss dec hex filename

with patch series:
text data bss dec hex filename
5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux
This patch:
Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

This test seems to be unnecessary since we always have rootfs mounted before
calling a usermodehelper.

A CLOCK_REALTIME timer, which has an absolute expiry time less than
the clock realtime offset calls with a negative delta into the clock
events code and triggers the WARN_ON() there.
This is a false positive and needs to be prevented. Check the result
of timer->expires - timer->base->offset right away and return -ETIME
right away.

Various user space callers ask for relative timeouts. While we fixed
that overflow issue in hrtimer_start(), the sites which convert
relative user space values to absolute timeouts themself were uncovered.
Instead of putting overflow checks into each place add a function
which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use
it.

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

proc_doulongvec_minmax() calls copy_to_user()/copy_from_user(), so we can't
hold hugetlb_lock over the call. Use a dummy variable to store the sysctl
result, like in hugetlb_sysctl_handler(), then grab the lock to update
nr_overcommit_huge_pages.
