2010-05-14profile: fix stats and data leakageHugh Dickins
If the kernel is large or the profiling step small, /proc/profile leaks data and readprofile shows silly stats, until readprofile -r has reset the buffer: clear the prof_buffer when it is vmalloc()ed.

2010-05-12genirq: Clear CPU mask in affinity_hint when none is providedPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
When an interrupt is disabled and torn down, the CPU mask returned through affinity_hint right now is all CPUs. Also, for drivers that don't provide an affinity_hint mask, this can be misleading. There should be no hint at all, meaning an empty CPU mask.

2010-05-11memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU lockingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without rcu_read_lock. Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected data, it should be under rcu_read_lock(). This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected area. (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of "child". So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

2010-05-11memcg: fix css_id() RCU locking for realKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Commit ad4ba375373937817404fd92239ef4cadbded23b ("memcg: css_id() must be called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check message. But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane and it was just for hidining lockdep messages. This is a patch for do proper things. Checking again, all places, accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional.... all callers of css_id() has reference count on it. So, it's not necessary to be under rcu_read_lock(). Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id(). We know css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0. (css->id never changes and freed after css->refcnt going to be 0.) This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

2010-05-11revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commitsRobin Holt
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.

This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was used in the initial implementation. I did this because request more accurately represents what it actually does. Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string interface. So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be accepted by the interface. (someone asked me for it and I don't think it hurts anything.)

2010-05-10rcu: RCU_FAST_NO_HZ must check RCU dyntick statePaul E. McKenney
The current version of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ reproduces the old CLASSIC_RCU dyntick-idle bug, as it fails to detect CPUs that have interrupted or NMIed out of dyntick-idle mode.

2010-05-10rcu: reduce the number of spurious RCU_SOFTIRQ invocationsPaul E. McKenney
Lai Jiangshan noted that up to 10% of the RCU_SOFTIRQ are spurious, and traced this down to the fact that the current grace-period machinery will uselessly raise RCU_SOFTIRQ when a given CPU needs to go through a quiescent state, but has not yet done so. In this situation, there might well be nothing that RCU_SOFTIRQ can do, and the overhead can be worth worrying about in the ksoftirqd case. This patch therefore avoids raising RCU_SOFTIRQ in this situation. Changes since v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/30/122 from Lai Jiangshan): o Omit the rcu_qs_pending() prechecks, as they aren't that much less expensive than the quiescent-state checks. o Merge with the set_need_resched() patch that reduces IPIs. o Add the new n_rp_report_qs field to the rcu_pending tracing output. o Update the tracing documentation accordingly.

2010-05-10rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handlingPaul E. McKenney
The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

The goal is to reduce the probability that force_quiescent_state() will need to do smp_send_reschedule(), which sends an IPI and is therefore more expensive on most architectures.

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.

2010-05-10clocksource: Add clocksource_register_hz/khz interfaceJohn Stultz
How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits. Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently. So this patch simplifies the registration process by having clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration function taking care of setting mult/shift. This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource driver. Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can keep track of the assumptions being made.

2010-05-09sched: Eliminate the ts->idle_lastupdate fieldArjan van de Ven
Now that the only user of ts->idle_lastupdate is update_ts_time_stats(), the entire field can be eliminated. In update_ts_time_stats(), idle_lastupdate is first set to "now", and a few lines later, the only user is an if() statement that assigns a variable either to "now" or to ts->idle_lastupdate, which has the value of "now" at that point.

2010-05-09sched: Fold updating of the last_update_time_info into update_ts_time_stats()Arjan van de Ven
This patch folds the updating of the last_update_time into the update_ts_time_stats() function, and updates the callers. This allows for further cleanups that are done in the next patch.

2010-05-09sched: Update the idle statistics in get_cpu_idle_time_us()Arjan van de Ven
Right now, get_cpu_idle_time_us() only reports the idle statistics upto the point the CPU entered last idle; not what is valid right now. This patch adds an update of the idle statistics to get_cpu_idle_time_us(), so that calling this function always returns statistics that are accurate at the point of the call. This includes resetting the start of the idle time for accounting purposes to avoid double accounting.

Drop the waittime field from the lock_acquired event, we can calculate it by substracting the lock_acquired event timestamp with the matching lock_acquire one. It is not needed and takes useless space in the traces.
