2009-12-15tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib functionAndré Goddard Rosa
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading spaces from strings all over the tree. It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide: text data bss dec hex filename 64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE) 64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER) Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space". Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below, and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files: drivers/leds/led-class.c drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c drivers/video/output.c @@ expression str; @@ ( // ignore skip_spaces cases while (*str && isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) } | - *str && isspace(*str) ) Signed-off-by: André Goddard Rosa <andre.goddard@gmail.com> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: "H.

2009-12-15vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() functionBernhard Walle
The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to redirect the kernel messages to a specific console. However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic message on the current console. This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect variable by a function to be able to use it in code where CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c). This patch: Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where messages are printed. Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c) to the new interface. The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

2009-12-15'sysctl_max_map_count' should be non-negativeAmerigo Wang
Jan Engelhardt reported we have this problem: setting max_map_count to a value large enough results in programs dying at first try. This is on 2.6.31.6: 15:59 borg:/proc/sys/vm # echo $[1<<31-1] >max_map_count 15:59 borg:/proc/sys/vm # cat max_map_count 1073741824 15:59 borg:/proc/sys/vm # echo $[1<<31] >max_map_count 15:59 borg:/proc/sys/vm # cat max_map_count Killed This is because we have a chance to make 'max_map_count' negative. but it's meaningless. Make it only accept non-negative values.

2009-12-15hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicyLee Schermerhorn
This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute "nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

2009-12-14locking: Further name space cleanupsThomas Gleixner

This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb. 1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of breakpoints. The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its state flag is set to BP_SET. The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in a kernel module and then unload the kernel module. 2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of breakpoints. The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints when a breakpoint cannot be activated. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2009-12-11kgdb: continue and warn on signal passing from gdbJason Wessel
On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal back on continue. For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a exception outside of kgdb. Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue operation.

2009-12-11kgdb: allow for cpu switch when single steppingJason Wessel
The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a kernel thread will complete on the same CPU. The single step flag is set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it is run. As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the slave cpus is no longer possible. It is more useful to be able to get some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2009-12-11kgdb: Read buffer overflowJason Wessel
Roel Kluin reported an error found with Parfait. Where we want to ensure that that kgdb_info[-1] never gets accessed. Also check to ensure any negative tid does not exceed the size of the shadow CPU array, else report critical debug context because it is an internal kgdb failure.

This build warning: kernel/sched.c: In function 'set_task_cpu': kernel/sched.c:2070: warning: unused variable 'old_rq' Made me realize that the forced2_migrations stat looks pretty pointless (and a misnomer) - remove it.

2009-12-10hrtimer: move timer stats helper functions to hrtimer.cHeiko Carstens
There is no reason to make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info and friends visible to the rest of the kernel. So move all of them to hrtimer.c. Also make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info a static inline function so it gets inlined and we avoid another function call. Based on a patch by Thomas Gleixner.

2009-12-10hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logicThomas Gleixner
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the execution time of the hrtimer callbacks. This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the system unusable. Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms. The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

2009-12-10lockdep: Avoid out of bounds array reference in save_trace()Luck, Tony
ia64 found this the hard way (because we currently have a stub for save_stack_trace() that does nothing). But it would be a good idea to be cautious in case a real save_stack_trace() bailed out with an error before it set trace->nr_entries.
