Add is_signed_type() call to trace_define_field() in ftrace macros.
The code previously just passed in 0 (false), disregarding whether
or not the field was actually a signed type.

The format files of trace_kprobe do not show the sign of the fields.
The other format files show the field signed type of the fields and
this patch makes the trace_kprobe formats consistent with the others.

trace_stat is problematic. Don't use it, use seqfile instead.
This fixes a race that reading the stat file is not protected by
any lock, which can lead to use after free.

Every time I see this:
kernel/kprobes.c: In function 'register_kretprobe':
kernel/kprobes.c:1038: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
I'm wondering if something changed in common code and we need to
do something for s390. Apparently that's not the case.
Let's get rid of this annoying warning.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6
* 'sysctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6:
SYSCTL: Add a mutex to the page_alloc zone order sysctl
SYSCTL: Print binary sysctl warnings (nearly) only once
|
|
When printing legacy sysctls print the warning message
for each of them only once. This way there is a guarantee
the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program.
The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored
the flag inline.
Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a
code snippet from him.
The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a
new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not
be a problem
I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This
gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls
are hashed:
size 256
bucket
length number
0: [25]
1: [67]
2: [88]
3: [47]
4: [22]
5: [6]
6: [1]
The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

|
|
Effectively reverts 738d2be4301007f054541c5c4bf7fb6a361c9b3a.
As demonstrated by Eric, we really need to call __set_task_cpu()
early in the fork() path to properly initialize the various task
state -- specifically the cgroup state through set_task_rq().
[ we could probably fix this by explicitly calling
__set_task_cpu() from sched_fork(), but lets try that for the
next cycle and simply revert to the old behaviour for now. ]

Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

This reverts commit 7bc7d637452383d56ba4368d4336b0dde1bb476d, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:
"Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
nanoseconds field.
He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
sub-nanosecond accumulated time.
Details:
* At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
that rounding.
* Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.
* We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
known to work.
* The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those
patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.
Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c could use anon_inode_getfile()
instead of a private pseudo-fs + alloc_file(), if only there were a way
to get a read-only file. So provide this by having anon_inode_getfile()
create a read-only file if we pass O_RDONLY in flags.

The function __set_tracer_option() takes as its last parameter a
"neg" value. If set it should negate the value of the option.
The trace_options_write() passed the value written to the file
which is what the new value needs to be set as. But since this
is not the negative, it never sets the value.

The second parameter to alignf() in allocate_resource() must
reflect what new resource is attempted to be allocated, else
functions like pcibios_align_resource() (at least on x86) or
pcmcia_align() can't work correctly.
Commit 1e5ad9679016275d422e36b12a98b0927d76f556 broke this by
setting the "new" resource until we're about to return success.
To keep the resource untouched when allocate_resource() fails,
a "tmp" resource is introduced.

... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody
noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage".
The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element
and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic
lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one. After that the
old one is fair game for freeing.
First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we
use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array
and vice versa.
Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the
element to be excluded happens to be the last one. We shouldn't go
until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old
one. Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the
cyclic lists...
That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite
trivial to hit. Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the
shit had hit the fan...

Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.
Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().
With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.
Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).
This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.
Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.

sysctl_max_map_count-should-be-non-negative.patch
It is a mistake that we used 'proc_dointvec', it should be
'proc_dointvec_minmax', as in the original patch.

There's a preemption race in the set_task_cpu() debug check in
that when we get preempted after setting task->state we'd still
be on the rq proper, but fail the test.
Check for preempted tasks, since those are always on the RQ.

events
Acme noticed that his FORK/MMAP numbers were inflated by about
the same factor as his cpu-count.
This led to the discovery of a few more sites that need to
respect the event->cpu filter.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.
But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a
rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but
it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu.
Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations
under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under
preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after
rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test
their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while
atomic" issues.
So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in
might_sleep() checks.

Check new event/group name is same syntax as a C symbol. In other
words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint events.
This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g.
foo|bar, foo*bar).

struct cpumask will be undefined soon with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y,
to avoid them being declared on the stack.
cpumask_bits() does what we want here (of course, this code is crap).

Also, we want to check against nr_cpu_ids, not num_possible_cpus().
The latter works, but the correct bounds check is < nr_cpu_ids.
