2009-10-05rcu: Replace the rcu_barrier enum with pointer to call_rcu*() functionPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_barrier enum causes several problems: (1) you have to define the enum somewhere, and there is no convenient place, (2) the difference between TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU causes problems when you need to map from rcu_barrier enum to struct rcu_state, (3) the switch statement are large, and (4) TINY_RCU really needs a different rcu_barrier() than do the treercu implementations. So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function pointer abstraction. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-05rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 4Paul E. McKenney
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU stall-warning bug found while making the other changes. o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing the need to declare them at each call site. o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf nodes of the rcu_node tree. o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA stepping through the array in index-number order. o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore, the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf rcu_node structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-05sched: Set correct normal_prio and prio values in sched_fork()Peter Williams
normal_prio should be updated if policy changes from RT to SCHED_MORMAL or if static_prio/nice is changed. Some paths through sched_fork() ignore this requirement and may result in normal_prio having an invalid value. Fixing this issue allows the call to effective_prio() in wake_up_new_task() to be removed.

2009-10-01memcg: some modification to softlimit under hierarchical memory reclaim.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path. Problems: Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg management, ancesotors should be taken care of. Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge(). This is not good. Prolems: 1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad. It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose. 2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug. Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should take care of them. 3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case. ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better. Fixes: * Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge. Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them. * make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge. (per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway) * All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be checked at the same time.

Commit ddc1637af217dbd8bc51f30e6d24e84476a869a6 ("kmemtrace: Print binary output only if 'bin' option is set") ended up inverting the error detection logic. register_tracer() returns 0 on success, which this change caused to treat as an error, resulting in: [ 0.132000] Warning: could not register the kmem tracer as well as bailing out of the initcall with an error value.

When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled __ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not ftrace_trace_function. In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before returning.

Commit def0a9b2573 (sched_clock: Make it NMI safe) assumed cmpxchg() of 64bit values was available on X86_32. That is not so - and causes some subtle scheduler misbehavior due to incorrect timestamps off to up by ~4 seconds. Two symptoms are known right now: - interactivity problems seen by Arjan: up to 600 msecs latencies instead of the expected 20-40 msecs. These latencies are very visible on the desktop. - incorrect CPU stats: occasionally too high percentages in 'top', and crazy CPU usage stats.

2009-09-25module: don't call percpu_modfree on NULL pointer.Rusty Russell
The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent (CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept that assumption. All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

2009-09-25param: allow whitespace as kernel parameter separatorPeter Oberparleiter
Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing (e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures. This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel parameters.

2009-09-24exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipesNeil Horman
Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl. Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem, we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the system simply by running bad applications. If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system. This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption. core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel, dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log. A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may be handled (this is the default value).

2009-09-24signals: tracehook_notify_jctl changeRoland McGrath
This changes tracehook_notify_jctl() so it's called with the siglock held, and changes its argument and return value definition. These clean-ups make it a better fit for what new tracing hooks need to check. Tracing needs the siglock here, held from the time TASK_STOPPED was set, to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it wants to allow any blocking in its tracing hooks. This also folds the finish_stop() function into its caller do_signal_stop(). The function is short, called only once and only unconditionally. It aids readability to fold it in.

2009-09-24wait_noreap_copyout(): check for ->wo_info != NULLVitaly Mayatskikh
Current behaviour of sys_waitid() looks odd. If user passes infop == NULL, sys_waitid() returns success. When user additionally specifies flag WNOWAIT, sys_waitid() returns -EFAULT on the same conditions. When user combines WNOWAIT with WCONTINUED, sys_waitid() again returns success. This patch adds check for ->wo_info in wait_noreap_copyout(). User-visible change: starting from this commit, sys_waitid() always checks infop != NULL and does not fail if it is NULL.
