2009-06-16slow-work: use round_jiffies() for thread pool's cull and OOM timersChris Peterson
Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary with round_jiffies(). The slow work queue uses a pair of timers to cull idle threads and, after OOM, to delay new thread creation. This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a separate helper function. By rounding non-time-critical timers such as these to whole seconds, they will be batched up to fire at the same time rather than being spread out. This allows the CPU wake up less, which saves power.

2009-06-16mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozenRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory: * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend. * Free pages are almost exhausted. * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the OOM killer. * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so it doesn't die immediately. * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer. * No progress can be made. Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even more likely to happen during hibernation. To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

2009-06-16page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is ↵Mel Gorman
valid Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.

2009-06-16cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in timeMiao Xie
Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is changed. In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes". Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.] Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-06-16cpusets: restructure the function cpuset_update_task_memory_state()Miao Xie
The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr after memory_spread_page was set. it is caused by the old mem_allowed and flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in time. Slab has the same problem. The following patches fix this bug by updating tasks' mem_allowed and spread flag after its cpuset's mems or spread flag is changed.

2009-06-16printk: add KERN_DEFAULT loglevel to print_modules()Linus Torvalds
Several WARN_ON() messages omit the '\n' at the end of the string, which is a simple (and understandable) error. The next line printed after that warning line is usually the current module list, and that printk does not have a log-level marker - resulting in one long mixed-up line. Adding this loglevel marker will now avoid this unreadable mess. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-06-16printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-levelLinus Torvalds
This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk with the default loglevel. The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level marker at all is two-fold: - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot, but perhaps because it expected a continuation) - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken for a log-level.

2009-06-16printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlinesLinus Torvalds
It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk() after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

2009-06-15sched: delayed cleanup of user_structKay Sievers
During bootup performance tracing we see repeated occurrences of /sys/kernel/uid/* events for the same uid, leading to a, in this case, rather pointless userspace processing for the same uid over and over. This is usually caused by tools which change their uid to "nobody", to run without privileges to read data supplied by untrusted users. This change delays the execution of the (already existing) scheduled work, to cleanup the uid after one second, so the allocated and announced uid can possibly be re-used by another process. This is the current behavior, where almost every invocation of a binary, which changes the uid, creates two events: $ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \ read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ echo $(($END - $START)) 178 With the delayed cleanup, we get only two events, and userspace finishes a bit faster too: $ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \ read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ echo $(($END - $START)) 1 Acked-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This false positive is due to field padding in struct sigqueue. When this dynamically allocated structure is copied to the stack (in arch- specific delivery code), kmemcheck sees a read from the padding, which is, naturally, uninitialized.

2009-06-15kmemcheck: add mm functionsVegard Nossum
With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this: 1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or uninitialized. 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized. There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and "recently freed". If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object. In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config option). Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for atomicity.

Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the error reports to the kernel log. The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead of on the tail. Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault. In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the message to appear. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

2009-06-12PM/Hibernate: Move NVS routines into a seperate file (v2).Cornelia Huck
The *_nvs_* routines in swsusp.c make use of the io*map() functions, which are only provided for HAS_IOMEM, thus breaking compilation if HAS_IOMEM is not set. Fix this by moving the *_nvs_* routines into hibernate_nvs.c, which is only compiled if HAS_IOMEM is set.

2009-06-12PM/Hibernate: Move memory shrinking to snapshot.c (rev. 2)Rafael J. Wysocki
A future patch is going to modify the memory shrinking code so that it will make memory allocations to free memory instead of using an artificial memory shrinking mechanism for that. For this purpose it is convenient to move swsusp_shrink_memory() from kernel/power/swsusp.c to kernel/power/snapshot.c, because the new memory-shrinking code is going to use things that are local to kernel/power/snapshot.c .

2009-06-12PM core: rename suspend and resume functionsAlan Stern
This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core. Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions: device_resume_noirq dpm_resume_noirq device_resume dpm_resume device_complete dpm_complete device_suspend_noirq dpm_suspend_noirq device_suspend dpm_suspend device_prepare dpm_prepare in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list. In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq). Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

2009-06-12PM: Rename device_power_down/up()Magnus Damm
Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up() to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq(). The new function names are chosen to show that the functions are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading. Global function renames: - device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq() - device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq() Static function renames: - suspend_device_noirq() -> __device_suspend_noirq() - resume_device_noirq() -> __device_resume_noirq() Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-06-12perf_counter: Add forward/backward attribute ABI compatibilityPeter Zijlstra
Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way. We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying the full structure size inside it. When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail. When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail consists of 0s, otherwise fail. If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's native attribe size back into the provided structure. Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in the __reserved fields). (This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)

2009-06-12module: trim exception table on init free.Rusty Russell
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n). Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this patch is more general. This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation. Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE, yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib. It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of actually trimming them.
