ce831b38ca sched: New helper to prevent from stopping the tick in full dynticks
Provide a new helper to be called from the full dynticks engine
before stopping the tick in order to make sure we don't stop
it when there is more than one task running on the CPU.

This way we make sure that the tick stays alive to maintain
fairness.

9f3660c2c1 sched: Kick full dynticks CPU that have more than one task enqueued.
Kick the tick on full dynticks CPUs when they get more
than one task running on their queue. This makes sure that
local fairness is maintained by the tick on the destination.

This is done regardless of these tasks' class. We should
be able to be more clever in the future depending on these. eg:
a CPU that runs a SCHED_FIFO task doesn't need to maintain
fairness against local pending tasks of the fair class.

But keep things simple for now.

6ac29178b4 posix_timers: Fix pre-condition to stop the tick on full dynticks
The test that checks if a CPU can stop its tick from posix CPU
timers angle was mistakenly inverted.

What we want is to prevent the tick from being stopped as long
as the current CPU's task runs a posix CPU timer.

Fix this.

642dbc39ab sched: Fix wrong rq's runnable_avg update with rt tasks
The current update of the rq's load can be erroneous when RT
tasks are involved.

The update of the load of a rq that becomes idle, is done only
if the avg_idle is less than sysctl_sched_migration_cost. If RT
tasks and short idle duration alternate, the runnable_avg will
not be updated correctly and the time will be accounted as idle
time when a CFS task wakes up.

A new idle_enter function is called when the next task is the
idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as run time
in the load of the rq, whatever the average idle time is. The
function update_rq_runnable_avg is removed from idle_balance.

When a RT task is scheduled on an idle CPU, the update of the
rq's load is not done when the rq exit idle state because CFS's
functions are not called. Then, the idle_balance, which is
called just before entering the idle function, updates the rq's
load and makes the assumption that the elapsed time since the
last update, was only running time.

As a consequence, the rq's load of a CPU that only runs a
periodic RT task, is close to LOAD_AVG_MAX whatever the running
duration of the RT task is.

A new idle_exit function is called when the prev task is the
idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as idle time
in the rq's load.

  After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,

  changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
  would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken

I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

4c69e6ea41 tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added
Somehow tracepoint_entry_add_probe() function allows a null probe function.
And, this may lead to unexpected results since the number of probe
functions in an entry can be counted by checking whether a probe is null
or not in the for-loop.
This patch prevents a null probe from being added.
In tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function, checking probe parameter
within the for-loop is moved out for code efficiency, leaving the null probe
feature which removes all probe functions in the entry.

f98823ac75 nohz: New option to default all CPUs in full dynticks range
Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part
of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.

This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option
if passed by the user.

This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range
of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.

that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU
callbacks.

Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot
parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs=

The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked
early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity
to stop its tick.

0453b435df nohz: Force boot CPU outside full dynticks range
The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.

Given that it happens before we know the initial online
set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.

To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
on kernel parameter parsing time.

We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
low power CPUs.

But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

cc189d2513 mutex: Back out architecture specific check for negative mutex count
Linus suggested that probably all the supported architectures can
allow a negative mutex count without incorrect behavior, so we can
then back out the architecture specific change and allow the
mutex count to go to any negative number. That should further
reduce contention for non-x86 architecture.

2bd2c92cf0 mutex: Queue mutex spinners with MCS lock to reduce cacheline contention
The current mutex spinning code (with MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option
turned on) allow multiple tasks to spin on a single mutex
concurrently. A potential problem with the current approach is
that when the mutex becomes available, all the spinning tasks
will try to acquire the mutex more or less simultaneously. As a
result, there will be a lot of cacheline bouncing especially on
systems with a large number of CPUs.

This patch tries to reduce this kind of contention by putting
the mutex spinners into a queue so that only the first one in
the queue will try to acquire the mutex. This will reduce
contention and allow all the tasks to move forward faster.

The queuing of mutex spinners is done using an MCS lock based
implementation which will further reduce contention on the mutex
cacheline than a similar ticket spinlock based implementation.
This patch will add a new field into the mutex data structure
for holding the MCS lock. This expands the mutex size by 8 bytes
for 64-bit system and 4 bytes for 32-bit system. This overhead
will be avoid if the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option is turned off.

The following table shows the jobs per minute (JPM) scalability
data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The
numactl command is used to restrict the running of the fserver
workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading off.

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.
So they are not that interesting.

The fserver workload uses mutex spinning extensively. With just
the mutex change in the first patch, there is no noticeable
change in performance.  Rather, there is a slight drop in
performance. This mutex spinning patch more than recovers the
lost performance and show a significant increase of +30% at high
user load with the full 8 nodes. Similar improvements were also
seen in a 3.8 kernel.

The table below shows the %time spent by different kernel
functions as reported by perf when running the fserver workload
at 1500 users with all 8 nodes.

+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
|        Function       |  % time   | % time  |   % time    |
|                       | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 |
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
| __read_lock_failed    |  34.96%   | 34.91%  |   29.14%    |
| __write_lock_failed   |  10.14%   | 10.68%  |    7.51%    |
| mutex_spin_on_owner   |   3.62%   |  3.42%  |    2.33%    |
| mspin_lock            |    N/A    |   N/A   |    9.90%    |
| __mutex_lock_slowpath |   1.46%   |  0.81%  |    0.14%    |
| _raw_spin_lock        |   2.25%   |  2.50%  |    1.10%    |
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+

The fserver workload for an 8-node system is dominated by the
contention in the read/write lock. Mutex contention also plays a
role. With the first patch only, mutex contention is down (as
shown by the __mutex_lock_slowpath figure) which help a little
bit. We saw only a few percents improvement with that.

By applying patch 2 as well, the single mutex_spin_on_owner
figure is now split out into an additional mspin_lock figure.
The time increases from 3.42% to 11.23%. It shows a great
reduction in contention among the spinners leading to a 30%
improvement. The time ratio 9.9/2.33=4.3 indicates that there
are on average 4+ spinners waiting in the spin_lock loop for
each spinner in the mutex_spin_on_owner loop. Contention in
other locking functions also go down by quite a lot.

The table below shows the performance change of both patches 1 &
2 over patch 1 alone in other AIM7 workloads (at 8 nodes,
hyperthreading off).

+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
|   Workload   | mean % change | mean % change  | mean % change   |

+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+

The short workload is the only one that shows a decline in
performance probably due to the spinner locking and queuing
overhead.

0dc8c730c9 mutex: Make more scalable by doing less atomic operations
In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into
the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be
issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a
total of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be
issued in rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache
bouncing when many tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the
same time.

This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions
used by checking the counter value first before issuing the
instruction. The atomic_read() function is just a simple memory
read. The atomic_xchg() function, on the other hand, can be up
to 2 order of magnitude or even more in cost when compared with
atomic_read(). By using atomic_read() to check the value first
before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a lot of unnecessary
cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this change is
that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit less chance of
getting the mutex when competing with another task in the fast
path.

The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the
mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed
before calling atomic_cmpxchg().

The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture
can allow any negative number to be used in the mutex count to
indicate that some tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so
sure if that is the case for the other architectures. So the
default is to avoid atomic_xchg() if the count has already been
set to -1. For x86, the check is modified to include all
negative numbers to cover a larger case.

The following table shows the jobs per minutes (JPM) scalability
data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The
numactl command is used to restrict the running of the
high_systime workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading on

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.
So they are not that interesting.

AIM7 benchmark run has a pretty large run-to-run variance due to
random nature of the subtests executed. So a difference of less
than +-5% may not be really significant.

This patch improves high_systime workload performance at 4 nodes
and up by maintaining transaction rates without significant
drop-off at high node count.  The patch has practically no
impact on 1 and 2 nodes system.

The table below shows the percentage time (as reported by perf
record -a -s -g) spent on the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function
by the high_systime workload at 1500 users for 2/4/8-node
configurations with hyperthreading off.

+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
| Configuration | %Time w/o patch | %Time with patch | %Change |
+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
|    8 nodes    |      65.34%     |      0.69%       |  -99%   |
|    4 nodes    |       8.70%	  |      1.02%	     |  -88%   |
|    2 nodes    |       0.41%     |      0.32%       |  -22%   |
+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+

It is obvious that the dramatic performance improvement at 8
nodes was due to the drastic cut in the time spent within the
__mutex_lock_slowpath() function.

The table below show the improvements in other AIM7 workloads
(at 8 nodes, hyperthreading off).

41fcb9f230 mutex: Move mutex spinning code from sched/core.c back to mutex.c
As mentioned by Ingo, the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN scheduler
feature bit was really just an early hack to make with/without
mutex-spinning testable. So it is no longer necessary.

This patch removes the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN feature bit and
move the mutex spinning code from kernel/sched/core.c back to
kernel/mutex.c which is where they should belong.

712317ad97 cgroup: fix broken file xattrs
We should store file xattrs in struct cfent instead of struct cftype,
because cftype is a type while cfent is object instance of cftype.

For example each cgroup has a tasks file, and each tasks file is
associated with a uniq cfent, but all those files share the same
struct cftype.

Alexey Kodanev reported a crash, which can be reproduced:

  # mount -t cgroup -o xattr /sys/fs/cgroup
  # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
  # setfattr -n trusted.value -v test_value /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks
  # rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
  # umount /sys/fs/cgroup
  oops!

In this case, simple_xattrs_free() will free the same struct simple_xattrs
twice.

tj: Dropped unused local variable @cft from cgroup_diput().

5c51543b0a kprobes: Fix a double lock bug of kprobe_mutex
Fix a double locking bug caused when debug.kprobe-optimization=0.
While the proc_kprobes_optimization_handler locks kprobe_mutex,
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer locks it again and that causes a double lock.
To fix the bug, this introduces different mutex for protecting
sysctl parameter and locks it in proc_kprobes_optimization_handler.
Of course, since we need to lock kprobe_mutex when touching kprobes
resources, that is done in *optimize_all_kprobes().

This bug was introduced by commit ad72b3bea7 ("kprobes: fix

Vivek found old kexec-tools does not work new kernel anymore.

So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high=
to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will
be needed.

-v2: let crashkernel=X override crashkernel_high=
    update description about _high will be ignored by crashkernel=X
-v3: update description about kernel-parameters.txt according to Vivek.

c038c1c441 clockevents: Switch into oneshot mode even if broadcast registered late
tick_oneshot_notify() is used to notify a particular CPU to try
to switch into oneshot mode after a oneshot capable tick device
is registered and tick_clock_notify() is used to notify all CPUs
to try to switch into oneshot mode after a high res clocksource
is registered. There is one caveat; if the tick devices suffer
from FEAT_C3_STOP we don't try to switch into oneshot mode unless
we have a oneshot capable broadcast device already registered.

If the broadcast device is registered after the tick devices that
have FEAT_C3_STOP we'll never try to switch into oneshot mode
again, causing us to be stuck in periodic mode forever. Avoid
this scenario by calling tick_clock_notify() after we register
the broadcast device so that we try to switch into oneshot mode
on all CPUs one more time.

b3956a896e timer_list: Convert timer list to be a proper seq_file
When running with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/timer_list will fail
with an ENOMEM condition.  On a sufficantly large systems the total amount
of data is more then 4mb, so it won't fit into a single buffer.  The
failure can also occur on smaller systems when memory fragmentation is
high as reported by Dave Jones.

Convert /proc/timer_list to a proper seq_file with its own iterator.  This
is a little more complex given that we have to make two passes with two
separate headers.

sysrq_timer_list_show also needed to be updated to reflect the fact that
now timer_list_show only does one cpu at at time.

5ed67f05f6 posix timers: Allocate timer id per process (v2)
Currently kernel generates IDs for posix timers in a global manner --
there's a kernel-wide IDR tree from which IDs are created. This makes
it impossible to recreate a timer with a desired ID (in particular
this is done by the CRIU checkpoint-restore project) -- since these
IDs are global it may happen, that at the time we recreate a timer, the
ID we want for it is already busy by some other timer.

In order to address this, replace the IDR tree with a global hash
table for timers and makes timer IDs unique per signal_struct (to
which timers are linked anyway). With this, two timers belonging to
different processes may have equal IDs and we can recreate either of
them with the ID we want.

65d798f0f9 rcu: Kick adaptive-ticks CPUs that are holding up RCU grace periods
Adaptive-ticks CPUs inform RCU when they enter kernel mode, but they do
not necessarily turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.  This state of
affairs could result in RCU waiting on an adaptive-ticks CPU running
for an extended period in kernel mode.  Such a CPU will never run the
RCU state machine, and could therefore indefinitely extend the RCU state
machine, sooner or later resulting in an OOM condition.

This patch, inspired by an earlier patch by Frederic Weisbecker, therefore
causes RCU's force-quiescent-state processing to check for this condition
and to send an IPI to CPUs that remain in that state for too long.
"Too long" currently means about three jiffies by default, which is
quite some time for a CPU to remain in the kernel without blocking.
The rcu_tree.jiffies_till_first_fqs and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs
sysfs variables may be used to tune "too long" if needed.

c5bfece2d6 nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based naming
"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.

But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

0644ca5c77 nohz: Fix old dynticks idle Kconfig backward compatibility
In order to enforce backward compatibility with older
config files, we want the new dynticks-idle Kconfig entry
to default its value to the one of the old CONFIG_NO_HZ symbol
if present.

Namely we want:

	config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol
		bool

	config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol
		default NO_HZ

However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol
is not visible. And this is currently the case because
NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig
and alike.

To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the
obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This
makes the "defaulting" to work.

873fe09ea5 cgroup: introduce sane_behavior mount option
It's a sad fact that at this point various cgroup controllers are
carrying so many idiosyncrasies and pure insanities that it simply
isn't possible to reach any sort of sane consistent behavior while
maintaining staying fully compatible with what already has been
exposed to userland.

As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane
behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards
compatibility.  This patch introduces a new mount option -
__DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces
consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers.
As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the
mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new
behaviors.  As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and
generates a warning message when used.

Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors
are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__
prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will
enforce sane_behavior by default.  Maybe we'll able to completely drop
the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a
strategy to move on to saner behaviors.

This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following
behaviors in cgroup core.

* Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed.  Also,
  cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created.

* When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match.
  This is currently pretty crazy.  If one mounts a cgroup, creates a
  subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different
  option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't.

* Remount is disallowed.

The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above
CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different
controllers are converted and planned improvements progress.

While controllers shouldn't be accessing cgroupfs_root directly, it
being hidden inside kern/cgroup.c makes somethings pretty silly.  This
makes routing hierarchy-wide settings which need to be visible to
controllers cumbersome.

We're gonna add another hierarchy-wide setting which needs to be
accessed from controllers.  Move cgroupfs_root and its flags to the

41c21e351e userns: Changing any namespace id mappings should require privileges
Changing uid/gid/projid mappings doesn't change your id within the
namespace; it reconfigures the namespace.  Unprivileged programs should
*not* be able to write these files.  (We're also checking the privileges
on the wrong task.)

Given the write-once nature of these files and the other security
checks, this is likely impossible to usefully exploit.

6708075f10 userns: Don't let unprivileged users trick privileged users into setting the id_map
When we require privilege for setting /proc/<pid>/uid_map or
/proc/<pid>/gid_map no longer allow an unprivileged user to
open the file and pass it to a privileged program to write
to the file.

Instead when privilege is required require both the opener and the
writer to have the necessary capabilities.

I have tested this code and verified that setting /proc/<pid>/uid_map
fails when an unprivileged user opens the file and a privielged user
attempts to set the mapping, that unprivileged users can still map
their own id, and that a privileged users can still setup an arbitrary
mapping.

da1f296fd2 cgroup: make cgroup_path() not print double slashes
While reimplementing cgroup_path(), 65dff759d2 ("cgroup: fix
cgroup_path() vs rename() race") introduced a bug where the path of a
non-root cgroup would have two slahses at the beginning, which is
caused by treating the root cgroup which has the name '/' like
non-root cgroups.

 $ grep systemd /proc/self/cgroup
 1:name=systemd://user/root/1

Fix it by special casing root cgroup case and not looping over it in
the normal path.

"unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to
create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate

To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[]
and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This
uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more
complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

ded49c5530 uretprobes: Limit the depth of return probe nestedness
Unlike the kretprobes we can't trust userspace, thus must have
protection from user space attacks. User-space have  "unlimited"
stack, and this patch limits the return probes nestedness as a
simple remedy for it.

Note that this implementation leaks return_instance on siglongjmp
until exit()/exec().

The intention is to have KISS and bare minimum solution for the
initial implementation in order to not complicate the uretprobes
code.

In the future we may come up with more sophisticated solution that
remove this depth limitation. It is not easy task and lays beyond
this patchset.

6a76f8c0ab tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences
Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
for their fops.  However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.

It can be easily reproduced with following command:

  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid

In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

f2530dc71c kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu
The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per
cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy:

CPU0	       	 	CPU1  	     	    CPU2
unpark(T)				    wake_up_process(T)
  clear(SHOULD_PARK)	T runs
			leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK  
  bind_to(CPU2)		BUG_ON(wrong CPU)						    

We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of
those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires
that it starts running on the target cpu right away.

The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which
are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association
of the task to the target cpu is working correctly.

Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and
use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup.

Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and
all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps
and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment.

The migration thread has another related issue.

CPU0	      	     	 CPU1
Bring up CPU2
create_thread(T)
park(T)
 wait_for_completion()
			 parkme()
			 complete()
sched_set_stop_task()
			 schedule(TASK_PARKED)

The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the
runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class
on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before
sched_set_stop_task().

ad395abece Audit: do not print error when LSMs disabled
RHBZ: 785936

If the audit system collects a record about one process sending a signal
to another process it includes in that collection the 'secid' or 'an int
used to represet an LSM label.'  If there is no LSM enabled it will
collect a 0.  The problem is that when we attempt to print that record
we ask the LSM to convert the secid back to a string.  Since there is no
LSM it returns EOPNOTSUPP.

Most code in the audit system checks if the secid is 0 and does not
print LSM info in that case.  The signal information code however forgot
that check.  Thus users will see a message in syslog indicating that
converting the sid to string failed.  Add the right check.

ef824fa129 perf: make perf_event cgroup hierarchical
perf_event is one of a couple remaining cgroup controllers with broken
hierarchy support.  Converting it to support hierarchy is almost
trivial.  The only thing necessary is to consider a task belonging to
a descendant cgroup as a match.  IOW, if the cgroup of the currently
executing task (@cpuctx->cgrp) equals or is a descendant of the
event's cgroup (@event->cgrp), then the event should be enabled.

Implement hierarchy support and remove .broken_hierarchy tag along
with the incorrect comment on what needs to be done for hierarchy
support.

78574cf981 cgroup: implement cgroup_is_descendant()
A couple controllers want to determine whether two cgroups are in
ancestor/descendant relationship.  As it's more likely that the
descendant is the primary subject of interest and there are other
operations focusing on the descendants, let's ask is_descendent rather
than is_ancestor.

Implementation is trivial as the previous patch guarantees that all
ancestors of a cgroup stay accessible as long as the cgroup is
accessible.

tj: Removed depth optimization, renamed from cgroup_is_ancestor(),
    rewrote descriptions.

5f2f280f87 This includes three fixes. Two fix features added in 3.9 and one
fixes a long time minor bug.
 
 The first patch fixes a race that can happen if the user switches
 from the irqsoff tracer to another tracer. If a irqs off latency is
 detected, it will try to use the snapshot buffer, but the new tracer
 wont have it allocated. There's a nasty warning that gets printed and
 the trace is ignored. Nothing crashes, just a nasty WARN_ON is shown.
 
 The second patch fixes an issue where if the sysctl is used to disable
 and enable function tracing, it can put the function tracing into an
 unstable state.
 
 The third patch fixes an issue with perf using the function tracer.
 An update was done, where the stub function could be called during
 the perf function tracing, and that stub function wont have the
 "control" flag set and cause a nasty warning when running perf.

51fd36f3fa hrtimer: Fix ktime_add_ns() overflow on 32bit architectures
One can trigger an overflow when using ktime_add_ns() on a 32bit
architecture not supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR.

When passing a very high value for u64 nsec, e.g. 7881299347898368000
the do_div() function converts this value to seconds (7881299347) which
is still to high to pass to the ktime_set() function as long. The result
in is a negative value.

The problem on my system occurs in the tick-sched.c,
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when time_delta is set to
timekeeping_max_deferment(). The check for time_delta < KTIME_MAX is
valid, thus ktime_add_ns() is called with a too large value resulting in
a negative expire value. This leads to an endless loop in the ticker code:

time_delta: 7881299347898368000
expires = ktime_add_ns(last_update, time_delta)
expires: negative value

This fix caps the value to KTIME_MAX.

This error doesn't occurs on 64bit or architectures supporting
CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR (e.g. ARM, x86-32).

When we change the system time to a low value like this, the value of
timekeeper->offs_real will be a negative value.

It seems that the WARN occurs because an hrtimer has been started in the time
between the releasing of the timekeeper lock and the IPI call (via a call to
on_each_cpu) in clock_was_set() in the do_settimeofday() code.  The end result
is that a REALTIME_CLOCK timer has been added with softexpires = expires =
KTIME_MAX.  The hrtimer_interrupt() fires/is called and the loop at
kernel/hrtimer.c:1289 is executed.  In this loop the code subtracts the
clock base's offset (which was set to timekeeper->offs_real in
do_settimeofday()) from the current hrtimer_cpu_base->expiry value (which
was KTIME_MAX):

	KTIME_MAX - (a negative value) = overflow

A simple check for an overflow can resolve this problem.  Using KTIME_MAX
instead of the overflow value will result in the hrtimer function being run,
and the reprogramming of the timer after that.

The kauditd_thread() task was started only after the auditd userspace daemon
registers itself with kaudit.  This was fine when only auditd consumed messages
from the kaudit netlink unicast socket.  With the addition of a multicast group

kaudit kernel subsystem.

6f389a8f1d PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()
As commit 40dc166c (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core
subsystems PM) say, syscore_ops operations should be carried with one
CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. However, after commit f96972f2d
(kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()),
syscore_shutdown() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus(), so break
the rules. We have a MIPS machine with a 8259A PIC, and there is an
external timer (HPET) linked at 8259A. Since 8259A has been shutdown
too early (by syscore_shutdown()), disable_nonboot_cpus() runs without
timer interrupt, so it hangs and reboot fails. This patch call
syscore_shutdown() a little later (after disable_nonboot_cpus()) to
avoid reboot failure, this is the same way as poweroff does.

For consistency, add disable_nonboot_cpus() to kernel_halt().

395b97a3ae ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loop
The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning
if the called function is not a control function. This is because
the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure
on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of
functions.

commit 0a016409e4 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop"

Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize
for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight
race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be
called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we
get the following dump:

To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end
ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub. This flag is now checked in the
control loop and the function is not called if the flag is set.

Thanks to Jovi for not just reporting the bug, but also pointing out
where the bug was in the code.

a1cbcaa9ea sched_clock: Prevent 64bit inatomicity on 32bit systems
The sched_clock_remote() implementation has the following inatomicity
problem on 32bit systems when accessing the remote scd->clock, which
is a 64bit value.

CPU0			CPU1

sched_clock_local()	sched_clock_remote(CPU0)
...
			remote_clock = scd[CPU0]->clock
			    read_low32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock)
cmpxchg64(scd->clock,...)
			    read_high32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock)

While the update of scd->clock is using an atomic64 mechanism, the
readout on the remote cpu is not, which can cause completely bogus
readouts.

It is a quite rare problem, because it requires the update to hit the
narrow race window between the low/high readout and the update must go
across the 32bit boundary.

The resulting misbehaviour is, that CPU1 will see the sched_clock on
CPU1 ~4 seconds ahead of it's own and update CPU1s sched_clock value
to this bogus timestamp. This stays that way due to the clamping
implementation for about 4 seconds until the synchronization with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC undoes the problem.

The issue is hard to observe, because it might only result in a less
accurate SCHED_OTHER timeslicing behaviour. To create observable
damage on realtime scheduling classes, it is necessary that the bogus
update of CPU1 sched_clock happens in the context of an realtime
thread, which then gets charged 4 seconds of RT runtime, which results
in the RT throttler mechanism to trigger and prevent scheduling of RT
tasks for a little less than 4 seconds. So this is quite unlikely as
well.

The issue was quite hard to decode as the reproduction time is between
2 days and 3 weeks and intrusive tracing makes it less likely, but the
following trace recorded with trace_clock=global, which uses
sched_clock_local(), gave the final hint:

  <idle>-0   0d..30 400269.477150: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80
  <idle>-0   0d..30 400269.477151: hrtimer_start:  hrtimer=0xf7061e80 ...
irq/20-S-587 1d..32 400273.772118: sched_wakeup:   comm= ... target_cpu=0
  <idle>-0   0dN.30 400273.772118: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80

What happens is that CPU0 goes idle and invokes
sched_clock_idle_sleep_event() which invokes sched_clock_local() and
CPU1 runs a remote wakeup for CPU0 at the same time, which invokes
sched_remote_clock(). The time jump gets propagated to CPU0 via
sched_remote_clock() and stays stale on both cores for ~4 seconds.

There are only two other possibilities, which could cause a stale
sched clock:

1) ktime_get() which reads out CLOCK_MONOTONIC returns a sporadic
   wrong value.

2) sched_clock() which reads the TSC returns a sporadic wrong value.

#1 can be excluded because sched_clock would continue to increase for
   one jiffy and then go stale.

#2 can be excluded because it would not make the clock jump
   forward. It would just result in a stale sched_clock for one jiffy.

After quite some brain twisting and finding the same pattern on other
traces, sched_clock_remote() remained the only place which could cause
such a problem and as explained above it's indeed racy on 32bit
systems.

So while on 64bit systems the readout is atomic, we need to verify the
remote readout on 32bit machines. We need to protect the local->clock
readout in sched_clock_remote() on 32bit as well because an NMI could
hit between the low and the high readout, call sched_clock_local() and
modify local->clock.

Thanks to Siegfried Wulsch for bearing with my debug requests and
going through the tedious tasks of running a bunch of reproducer
systems to generate the debug information which let me decode the
issue.

2219449a65 cgroup: remove cgroup_lock_is_held()
We don't want controllers to assume that the information is officially
available and do funky things with it.

The only user is task_subsys_state_check() which uses it to verify RCU
access context.  We can move cgroup_lock_is_held() inside
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU but that doesn't add meaningful protection compared
to conditionally exposing cgroup_mutex.

Remove cgroup_lock_is_held(), export cgroup_mutex iff CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
and use lockdep_is_held() directly on the mutex in
task_subsys_state_check().

While at it, add parentheses around macro arguments in
task_subsys_state_check().

8cc9934520 cgroup, cpuset: replace move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() with cgroup_transfer_tasks()
When a cpuset becomes empty (no CPU or memory), its tasks are
transferred with the nearest ancestor with execution resources.  This
is implemented using cgroup_scan_tasks() with a callback which grabs
cgroup_mutex and invokes cgroup_attach_task() on each task.

Both cgroup_mutex and cgroup_attach_task() are scheduled to be
unexported.  Implement cgroup_transfer_tasks() in cgroup proper which
is essentially the same as move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() except that
it takes cgroups instead of cpusets and @to comes before @from like
normal functions with those arguments, and replace
move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() with it.

c26b78a2d8 PM / sleep: invalidate TEST_CPUS and TEST_CORE support for freeze state
freeze state is a software suspend state that does not run into
low-level platform callbacks which may interact with BIOS.
And freeze state does not need to disable the processors.

But the current pm_test support misleads users because users
can enter freeze state with pm_test set to TEST_CPUS/TEST_CORE,
while this pm_test setting never takes actions.

So, invalidate TEST_CPUS/TEST_CORE for freeze state in this patch.
Then users will get an error instead, when trying to
enter freeze state with pm_test mode set to TEST_CPUS/TEST_CORE.

5c529597e9 workqueue: avoid false negative WARN_ON() in destroy_workqueue()
destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding
with destruction of a workqueue.  One of the checks verifies that
refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there
should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is
the workqueue itself.

This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its
pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity
for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to
its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously.

Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs.

An example spurious WARN trigger follows.

0908ad6e56 uprobes: Add trap variant helper
Some architectures like powerpc have multiple variants of the trap
instruction. Introduce an additional helper is_trap_insn() for run-time
handling of non-uprobe traps on such architectures.

While there, change is_swbp_at_addr() to is_trap_at_addr() for reading
clarity.

With this change, the uprobe registration path will supercede any trap
instruction inserted at the requested location, while taking care of
delivering the SIGTRAP for cases where the trap notification came in
for an address without a uprobe. See [1] for a more detailed explanation.

3ca277e419 nohz: Pack nohz Kconfig option in a menu of choices
Now the user has the choice between three implementations of

* Static periodic tick
* Idle dynticks
* Full dynticks

At least for now, these are mutually exclusive choices, so
let's rely on the proper Kconfig feature to display these

A new entry CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is created and the old
CONFIG_NO_HZ maps to it for config file backward compatibility.
The old name was too general now that we have more
granular dynticks implementations.

While at it, add some explanation to help the user on

3451d0243c nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.

As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.

It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.

On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.

But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:

1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
   CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE

We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.

So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.

Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

ab71d36ddb nohz: Unhide full dynticks feature from its dependencies
The full dynticks feature only shows up when all its
Kconfig dependencies are met (RCU nocbs, RCU user mode, ...)

This is far from being user friendly as those who want to
activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files
and iterate through each dependency then activate these
by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks
Kconfig option.

So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option
if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate
the high level ones when we enable the feature.

Note there is one exception in the picture:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice
menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig
selection when it's under such layout. So for now this
particular item stays as a passive dependency.

Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10

Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
workqueues.  Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway.  Let's
pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
from workqueue merge conflicts.

The two conflicts and their resolutions:

* e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
  worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
  interface.  worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
  changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.

  static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
  {
	  int ret;

  <<<<<<< HEAD
	  lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);

	  do {
		  if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
			  return -ENOMEM;
		  ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
	  } while (ret == -EAGAIN);
  =======
	  mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
	  ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
	  if (ret >= 0)
		  pool->id = ret;
	  mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
  >>>>>>> c67bf5361e

	  return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
  }

  We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
  latter, which can be combined to the following.

  static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
  {
	  int ret;

	  lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);

	  ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
	  if (ret >= 0) {
		  pool->id = ret;
		  return 0;
	  }
	  return ret;
   }

* eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
  wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
  larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
  with a schedule() call inbetween.  wq/for-3.10 renamed
  pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
  conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).

  static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
  {
  ...
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
  <<<<<<< HEAD
		  mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
	  }
  =======
		  mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex);
  >>>>>>> c67bf5361e

		  schedule();

  <<<<<<< HEAD
	  for_each_cpu_worker_pool(pool, cpu)
  =======
  >>>>>>> c67bf5361e
		  atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);

		  spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
		  wake_up_worker(pool);
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
	  }
  }

  The resolution is mostly trivial.  We want the control flow of the
  latter with the rename of the former.

  static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
  {
  ...
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
		  mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);

		  schedule();

		  atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);

		  spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
		  wake_up_worker(pool);
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
	  }
  }

d55262c4d1 workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware.  Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.

* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
  globally.

* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
  node:pool_id pairs.  This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
  hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.

* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
  individual workqueues.  This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
  is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes.  It only
  affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.

After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

4c16bd327c workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues
Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued.  This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.

This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues.  Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask.  Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.

As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
accordingly.  Changing pool association may involve allocating new
pools which may fail.  To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
operation.

This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.

As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active.  The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global.  While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control.  Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.

v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path.  Spotted
    by Lai.

v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
    multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
    its nodes don't have any desired cpus.  Reimplemented so that NUMA
    affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down.  This problem
    was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.

v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
    however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
    the clearing use-after-free.  Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.

v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
    @pwq_tbl after success.  Fixed.

    Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
    application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug.  Removed.

    Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.

    All changes are suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

df2d5ae499 workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues
Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue
associated with it.  It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the
first pool_workqueue servies new work items.  For NUMA affinity, we
want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues
serving different NUMA nodes.

Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and
points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node.  This
replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested().

numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same
pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior
changes.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align

issue path and thus hot.  The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add
dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two
fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths.

Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in
the work item issue path for unbound workqueues.  The dispatch table
mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will
become cold once NUMA support is implemented.

f3f90ad469 workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask
When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(),
currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified.
All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE.

Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask
associated with it, this isn't optimal.  Add pool->node which is
determined by the pool's cpumask.  If the pool's cpumask is contained
inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and
all workers of the pool are created on that node.

This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with
cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as
foundation for making all unbound pools NUMA-affine.

e3c916a4c7 workqueue: drop 'H' from kworker names of unbound worker pools
Currently, all workqueue workers which have negative nice value has
'H' postfixed to their names.  This is necessary for per-cpu workers
as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool
and the 'H' postfix is the only thing distinguishing normal and
highpri workers.

As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely
informational.  TASK_COMM_LEN is 16 and after the static part and
delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and
worker IDs.  We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the
scheduled NUMA awareness support.  Let's drop the non-essential 'H'
postfix from unbound kworker name.

While at it, restructure kthread_create*() invocation to help future
NUMA related changes.

bce903809a workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]
Unbound workqueues are going to be NUMA-affine.  Add wq_numa_tbl_len
and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[] in preparation.  The former is the
highest NUMA node ID + 1 and the latter is masks of possibles CPUs for
each NUMA node.

This patch only introduces these.  Future patches will make use of
them.

v2: NUMA initialization move into wq_numa_init().  Also, the possible
    cpumask array is not created if there aren't multiple nodes on the
    system.  wq_numa_enabled bool added.

a892cacc7f workqueue: move pwq_pool_locking outside of get/put_unbound_pool()
The scheduled NUMA affinity support for unbound workqueues would need
to walk workqueues list and pool related operations on each workqueue.

Move wq_pool_mutex locking out of get/put_unbound_pool() to their
callers so that pool operations can be performed while walking the
workqueues list, which is also protected by wq_pool_mutex.

13e2e55601 workqueue: fix unbound workqueue attrs hashing / comparison
29c91e9912 ("workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool
management") implemented attrs based worker_pool matching.  It tried
to avoid false negative when comparing cpumasks with custom hash
function; unfortunately, the hash and comparison functions fail to
ignore CPUs which are not possible.  It incorrectly assumed that
bitmap_copy() skips leftover bits in the last word of bitmap and
cpumask_equal() ignores impossible CPUs.

This patch updates attrs->cpumask handling such that impossible CPUs
are properly ignored.

* Hash and copy functions no longer do anything special.  They expect
  their callers to clear impossible CPUs.

* alloc_workqueue_attrs() initializes the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask
  instead of setting all bits and explicit cpumask_setall() for
  unbound_std_wq_attrs[] in init_workqueues() is dropped.

* apply_workqueue_attrs() is now responsible for ignoring impossible
  CPUs.  It makes a copy of @attrs and clears impossible CPUs before
  doing anything else.

c3feedf2aa perf/core: Add weighted samples
For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware
provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the
sample represent was.  This allows the profiler to scale
the samples to be more informative to the programmer.

There is already the period which is used similarly, but it
means something different, so I chose to not overload it.
Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added.

Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX
abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make
expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept
is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of
events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides
suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used
for software tracepoints.

This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a
64-bit weight value.

87a8ebd637 userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mounted
Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.

proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).

3151527ee0 userns: Don't allow creation if the user is chrooted
Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is
established by setting the root directory will not be violated
by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points
to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace
creation.

Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy
it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current
root directory.

For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to
change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT
capability in the user namespace.  Therefore when creating a user
namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access
can not be violated by changing the root directory.

Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user
namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount
namespace instead.  With this result that this is not a practical
limitation for using user namespaces.

84cc8fd2fe hrtimer: Don't reinitialize a cpu_base lock on CPU_UP
The current code makes the assumption that a cpu_base lock won't be
held if the CPU corresponding to that cpu_base is offline, which isn't
always true.

If a hrtimer is not queued, then it will not be migrated by
migrate_hrtimers() when a CPU is offlined. Therefore, the hrtimer's
cpu_base may still point to a CPU which has subsequently gone offline
if the timer wasn't enqueued at the time the CPU went down.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but a cpu_base's lock is blindly
reinitialized each time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought
online during the period that another thread is performing a hrtimer
operation on a stale hrtimer, then the lock will be reinitialized
under its feet, and a SPIN_BUG() like the following will be observed:

<0>[   28.082085] BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#0, swapper/0/0

As an example, this particular crash occurred when hrtimer_start() was
executed on CPU #0. The code locked the hrtimer's current cpu_base
corresponding to CPU #1. CPU #0 then tried to switch the hrtimer's
cpu_base to an optimal CPU which was online. In this case, it selected
the cpu_base corresponding to CPU #3.

Before it could proceed, CPU #1 came online and reinitialized the
spinlock corresponding to its cpu_base. Thus now CPU #0 held a lock
which was reinitialized. When CPU #0 finally ended up unlocking the
old cpu_base corresponding to CPU #1 so that it could switch to CPU
#3, we hit this SPIN_BUG() above while in switch_hrtimer_base().

CPU #0                            CPU #1
----                              ----

raw_spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock)  ...
<spin_bug>

Solve this by statically initializing the lock.

c0f4dfd4f9 rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks
Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace
period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks
corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode.  This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU
state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

b11cc5760a rcu: Accelerate RCU callbacks at grace-period end
Now that callback acceleration is idempotent, it is safe to accelerate
callbacks during grace-period cleanup on any CPUs that the kthread happens
to be running on.  This commit therefore propagates the completion
of the grace period to the per-CPU data structures, and also adds an
rcu_advance_cbs() just before the cpu_needs_another_gp() check in order
to reduce false-positive grace periods.

a488985851 rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

callback processing from all CPUs.

This patch makes wq->saved_max_active protected by wq->mutex instead

b09f4fd39c workqueue: protect wq->pwqs and iteration with wq->mutex
We're expanding wq->mutex to cover all fields specific to each
workqueue with the end goal of replacing pwq_lock which will make
locking simpler and easier to understand.

init_and_link_pwq() and pwq_unbound_release_workfn() already grab
wq->mutex when adding or removing a pwq from wq->pwqs list.  This
patch makes it official that the list is wq->mutex protected for
writes and updates readers accoridingly.  Explicit IRQ toggles for
sched-RCU read-locking in flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs() and
drain_workqueues() are removed as the surrounding wq->mutex can
provide sufficient synchronization.

Also, assert_rcu_or_pwq_lock() is renamed to assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex()
and checks for wq->mutex too.

pwq_lock locking and assertion are not removed by this patch and a
couple of for_each_pwq() iterations are still protected by it.
They'll be removed by future patches.

2ca067efd8 poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work()
David said:

    Commit 6c0c0d4d10 ("poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()")
    apparently fixes one bug in orderly_poweroff(), but introduces
    another.  The comments on orderly_poweroff() claim it can be called
    from any context - and indeed we call it from interrupt context in
    arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c for example.  But since that
    commit this is no longer safe, since call_usermodehelper_fns() is not
    safe in interrupt context without the UMH_NO_WAIT option.

orderly_poweroff() can be used from any context but UMH_WAIT_EXEC is
sleepable.  Move the "force" logic into __orderly_poweroff() and change
orderly_poweroff() to use the global poweroff_work which simply calls
__orderly_poweroff().

While at it, remove the unneeded "int argc" and change argv_split() to
use GFP_KERNEL.

We use the global "bool poweroff_force" to pass the argument, this can
obviously affect the previous request if it is pending/running.  So we
only allow the "false => true" transition assuming that the pending
"true" should succeed anyway.  If schedule_work() fails after that we
know that work->func() was not called yet, it must see the new value.

This means that orderly_poweroff() becomes async even if we do not run
the command and always succeeds, schedule_work() can only fail if the
work is already pending.  We can export __orderly_poweroff() and change
the non-atomic callers which want the old semantics.

	kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd':
	(.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue'

To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when
CONFIG_PRINTK=n.

There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code
in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK.  But for now,
focus on a minimal fix as we passed the merged window already.
