2013-02-19lockdep: Selftest: convert spinlock to raw spinlockYong Zhang
To make the lockdep selftest working on RT we need to convert the spinlock tests to a raw spinlock. Otherwise we cannot run the irq context checks. For mainline this is just annotational as spinlocks are mapped to raw_spinlocks anyway.

2013-02-19rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalabilityAlex Shi
Commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem") changed struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which caused aim7 fork_test performance to drop by 50%. Yuanhan Liu did the following excellent analysis: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84 and found that the regression is caused by strict, serialized, FIFO sequential write-ownership of rwsems. Ingo suggested implementing opportunistic lock-stealing for the front writer task in the waitqueue. Yuanhan Liu implemented lock-stealing for spinlock-rwsems, which indeed recovered much of the regression - confirming the analysis that the main factor in the regression was the FIFO writer-fairness of rwsems. In this patch we allow lock-stealing to happen when the first waiter is also writer. With that change in place the aim7 fork_test performance is fully recovered on my Intel NHM EP, NHM EX, SNB EP 2S and 4S test-machines.

2013-01-29x86: Don't panic if can not alloc buffer for swiotlbYinghai Lu
Normal boot path on system with iommu support: swiotlb buffer will be allocated early at first and then try to initialize iommu, if iommu for intel or AMD could setup properly, swiotlb buffer will be freed. The early allocating is with bootmem, and could panic when we try to use kdump with buffer above 4G only, or with memmap to limit mem under 4G. for example: memmap=4095M$1M to remove memory under 4G. According to Eric, add _nopanic version and no_iotlb_memory to fail map single later if swiotlb is still needed. -v2: don't pass nopanic, and use -ENOMEM return value according to Eric. panic early instead of using swiotlb_full to panic...according to Eric/Konrad. -v3: make swiotlb_init to be notpanic, but will affect: arm64, ia64, powerpc, tile, unicore32, x86. -v4: cleanup swiotlb_init by removing swiotlb_init_with_default_size.

Tiny RCU has historically omitted RCU CPU stall warnings in order to reduce memory requirements, however, lack of these warnings caused Thomas Gleixner some debugging pain recently. Therefore, this commit adds RCU CPU stall warnings to tiny RCU if RCU_TRACE=y. This keeps the memory footprint small, while still enabling CPU stall warnings in kernels built to enable them.

2013-01-22lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()Thierry Reding
The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error codes are used throughout the tree. In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR(). devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function should be removed. A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API. Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.

2013-01-18tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTYJoe Millenbach
The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY.

2013-01-11lib/rbtree.c: avoid the use of non-static __always_inlineMichel Lespinasse
lib/rbtree.c declared __rb_erase_color() as __always_inline void, and then exported it with EXPORT_SYMBOL. This was because __rb_erase_color() must be exported for augmented rbtree users, but it must also be inlined into rb_erase() so that the dummy callback can get optimized out of that call site. (Actually with a modern compiler, none of the dummy callback functions should even be generated as separate text functions). The above usage is legal C, but it was unusual enough for some compilers to warn about it. This change makes things more explicit, with a static __always_inline ____rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase(), and a separate non-inline __rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase_augmented call sites.

Normally, only a failing read is of interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only trace failing reads.

2012-12-20lib: atomic64: Initialize locks statically to fix early usersStephen Boyd
The atomic64 library uses a handful of static spin locks to implement atomic 64-bit operations on architectures without support for atomic 64-bit instructions. Unfortunately, the spinlocks are initialized in a pure initcall and that is too late for the vfs namespace code which wants to use atomic64 operations before the initcall is run. This became a problem as of commit 8823c079ba71: "vfs: Add setns support for the mount namespace". This leads to BUG messages such as: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0/0 lock: atomic64_lock+0x240/0x400, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0 do_raw_spin_lock+0x158/0x198 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4c/0x58 atomic64_add_return+0x30/0x5c alloc_mnt_ns.clone.14+0x44/0xac create_mnt_ns+0xc/0x54 mnt_init+0x120/0x1d4 vfs_caches_init+0xe0/0x10c start_kernel+0x29c/0x300 coming out early on during boot when spinlock debugging is enabled.

2012-12-17prandom: introduce prandom_bytes() and prandom_bytes_state()Akinobu Mita
Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes. The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random numbers by prandom_u32(). It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used. So it is suitable for generating random bytes for testing.

2012-12-17random32: rename random32 to prandomAkinobu Mita
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows: void prandom_seed(u32 seed); /* rename from srandom32() */ u32 prandom_u32(void); /* rename from random32() */ void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed); /* rename from prandom32_seed() */ u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state); /* rename from prandom32() */ The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security exposure. This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o. And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the requested number of pseudo-random bytes. If I continue to use both prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion is getting worse. As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for pseudo-random number library. Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is difficult to rename too many users at once.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: add lockdep annotationsOleg Nesterov
Add lockdep annotations. Not only this can help to find the potential problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading. IOW, at least ->rw_sem should not use a single class. This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the whole percpu_rw_semaphore. This way we do not need to add another "fake" ->lockdep_map and lock_class_key. More importantly, this also makes the output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem. In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the actual semantics. This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well, percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: kill ->writer_mutex, add ->write_ctrOleg Nesterov
percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise could be called by multiple writers. ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the writers. Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead. The writers increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of mutex_is_locked(). Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to avoid the race with other writers. This is a bit sub-optimal, only the first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this stage. But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we add more features. And this speeds up the write-contended case. Before this patch the racing writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each other. Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarilyOleg Nesterov
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started or if it was already finished. With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the slow path. percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers. Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with barrier.

2012-12-17sscanf: don't ignore field widths for numeric conversionsJan Beulich
This is another step towards better standard conformance. Rather than adding a local buffer to store the specified portion of the string (with the need to enforce an arbitrary maximum supported width to limit the buffer size), do a maximum width conversion and then drop as much of it as is necessary to meet the caller's request. Also fail on negative field widths. Uses the deprecated simple_strto*() functions because kstrtoXX() fail on non-zero terminated strings.
