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.

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.

When a worker is concurrency managed (!WORKER_NOT_RUNNIG), it should be bound to its associated cpu and woken up to that cpu. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to verify this.

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.

2012-11-30ring-buffer: Fix race between integrity check and readersSteven Rostedt
The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file), as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity check. The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it. If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading the file. The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer. By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from happening. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.6 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

... and get rid of idiotic struct pt_regs * in asm-generic/syscalls.h prototypes of the same, while we are at it. Eventually we want those in linux/syscalls.h, of course, but that'll have to wait a bit. Note that there are *three* variants of sys_clone() order of arguments. Braindamage galore...

2012-11-28cgroup: list_del_init() on removed eventsGreg Thelen
Use list_del_init() rather than list_del() to remove events from cgrp->event_list. No functional change. This is just defensive coding. Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2012-11-28cgroup: fix lockdep warning for event_controlGreg Thelen
The cgroup_event_wake() function is called with the wait queue head locked and it takes cgrp->event_list_lock. However, in cgroup_rmdir() remove_wait_queue() was being called after taking cgrp->event_list_lock. Correct the lock ordering by using a temporary list to obtain the event list to remove from the wait queue.

2012-11-28cputime: Consolidate cputime adjustment codeFrederic Weisbecker
task_cputime_adjusted() and thread_group_cputime_adjusted() essentially share the same code. They just don't use the same source: * The first function uses the cputime in the task struct and the previous adjusted snapshot that ensures monotonicity. * The second adds the cputime of all tasks in the group and the previous adjusted snapshot of the whole group from the signal structure. Just consolidate the common code that does the adjustment. These functions just need to fetch the values from the appropriate source.

2012-11-28cputime: Rename thread_group_times to thread_group_cputime_adjustedFrederic Weisbecker
We have thread_group_cputime() and thread_group_times(). The naming doesn't provide enough information about the difference between these two APIs. To lower the confusion, rename thread_group_times() to thread_group_cputime_adjusted(). This name better suggests that it's a version of thread_group_cputime() that does some stabilization on the raw cputime values. ie here: scale on top of CFS runtime stats and bound lower value for monotonicity.

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.

In get_sample_period(), unsigned long is not enough: watchdog_thresh * 2 * (NSEC_PER_SEC / 5) case1: watchdog_thresh is 10 by default, the sample value will be: 0xEE6B2800 case2: set watchdog_thresh is 20, the sample value will be: 0x1 DCD6 5000 In case2, we need use u64 to express the sample period. Otherwise, changing the threshold thru proc often can not be successful.
