2008-12-09sched: CPU remove deadlock fixBrian King
Impact: fix possible deadlock in CPU hot-remove path This patch fixes a possible deadlock scenario in the CPU remove path. migration_call grabs rq->lock, then wakes up everything on rq->migration_queue with the lock held. Then one of the tasks on the migration queue ends up calling tg_shares_up which then also tries to acquire the same rq->lock.

Impact: fix SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLEand broaden its use load_balance_newidle() does not get called if SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE is set at higher level domain (3-CPU) and not in low level domain (2-MC). pulled_task is initialised to -1 and checked for non-zero which is always true if the lowest level sched_domain does not have SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag set.

2008-12-08sched: fix sd_parent_degenerate on non-numa smp machineKen Chen
Impact: optimize the sched domains tree some more The addition of SD_SERIALIZE flag added to SD_NODE_INIT prevented top level dummy numa sched_domain to be properly degenerated on non-numa smp machine. The reason is that in sd_parent_degenerate(), it found that the child and parent does not have comon sched_domain flags due to SD_SERIALIZE. However, for non-numa smp box, the top level is a dummy with a single sched_group. Filter out SD_SERIALIZE if it is on non-numa machine to properly degenerate top level node sched_domain. this will cut back some of the sd domain walk in the load balancer code.

2008-11-26sched: avoid stack var in move_task_off_dead_cpu, fixRusty Russell
Impact: locking fix We can't call cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() with the rq lock held. However, the rq lock merely protects us from (1) cpu_online_mask changing and (2) someone else changing p->cpus_allowed. The first can't happen because we're being called from a cpu hotplug notifier. The second doesn't really matter: we are forcing the task off a CPU it was affine to, so we're not doing very well anyway. So we remove the rq lock from this path, and all is good.

2008-11-25hrtimer: removing all ur callback modesPeter Zijlstra
Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by reducing the number of callback modes to 1. This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq context. I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code. Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time) then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously this needs a fix. Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any makes me certain :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This version calls cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() with the task_rq_lock held. I'm fairly sure this works, but there might be a deadlock hiding.

Similar trick for 'span' in sched_domain.

allocate it dynamically Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses to the stack. So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current only when the tracer is activated. Typical scheme when tracer is activated: - allocate a return stack for each task in global list. - fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task - exit: free return stack of current - idle init: same as fork I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-19sched: fix inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq sharesKen Chen
Impact: make load-balancing more consistent In the update_shares() path leading to tg_shares_up(), the calculation of per-cpu cfs_rq shares is rather erratic even under moderate task wake up rate. The problem is that the per-cpu tg->cfs_rq load weight used in the sd_rq_weight aggregation and actual redistribution of the cfs_rq->shares are collected at different time. Under moderate system load, we've seen quite a bit of variation on the cfs_rq->shares and ultimately wildly affects sched_entity's load weight. This patch caches the result of initial per-cpu load weight when doing the sum calculation, and then pass it down to update_group_shares_cpu() for redistributing per-cpu cfs_rq shares. This allows consistent total cfs_rq shares across all CPUs. It also simplifies the rounding and zero load weight check.

2008-11-17account_steal_time: kill the unneeded account_group_system_time()Oleg Nesterov
Impact: remove unnecessary accounting call I don't actually understand account_steal_time() and I failed to find the commit which added account_group_system_time(), but this looks bogus. In any case rq->idle must be single-threaded, so it can't have ->totals. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-16tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()Mathieu Desnoyers
Impact: API *CHANGE*. Must update all tracepoint users. Add DEFINE_TRACE() to tracepoints to let them declare the tracepoint structure in a single spot for all the kernel. It helps reducing memory consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for kmalloc tracing. *API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way to do it. The name previously used was misleading. Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.
