2010-05-16lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTORFrederic Weisbecker
This new config is deemed to simplify even more the lockup detector dependencies and can make it easier to bring a smooth sorting between archs that support the new generic lockup detector and those that still have their own, especially for those that are in the middle of this migration. Instead of checking whether we have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR + CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI each time an arch wants to know if it needs to build its own lockup detector, take a shortcut with this new config. It is enabled only if the hardlockup detection part of the whole lockup detector is on.

2010-05-16lockup_detector: Update some configFrederic Weisbecker
We kept CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP around for compatibility with older configs. But it was enabled by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. So if we want to enable CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR on configs that had CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP, all we need is to have the same enabling by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. We can then remove CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP directly. So tag CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR as default y. This is what we want for most serious kernel debugging anyway. And also forbid the lockup detector in S390 as it was for the previous softlockup detector, event though the true reason for that is not outlined.

2010-05-12lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detectorDon Zickus
The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2010-05-10rcu: enable CPU_STALL_VERBOSE by defaultPaul E. McKenney
The CPU_STALL_VERBOSE kernel configuration parameter was added to 2.6.34 to identify any preempted/blocked tasks that were preventing the current grace period from completing when running preemptible RCU. As is conventional for new configurations parameters, this defaulted disabled. It is now time to enable it by default. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2010-05-10rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splatLai Jiangshan
There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat, so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference(). To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can be detected per boot. This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY, which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep splats per boot to easily do so.

Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here: http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/ Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before) or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash.

When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available. Signed-off-by: Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@netinsight.net> Cc: M.

I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt, so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'. Fixing command-list.txt requires document (tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt). But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.

2010-02-25rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitivesPaul E. McKenney
Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses, which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh, RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to enlist the aid of lockdep. This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach: o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched. o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU. o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!) The primitives are: For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void) For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void) For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void) For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp) o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument in which one places a boolean expression based on the above primitives and/or lockdep_is_held(). o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, and should be quite helpful during the transition period while CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight. The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but upcoming patches will change that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-11-11sysctl: Remove dead code from sysctl_checkEric W. Biederman
Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it to a few remaining sanity checks. This completely decouples it from the binary sysctl system call. Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already been registered are all that remain. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-09-02CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]David Howells
Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
