* Merge branch 'acpi-hotplug'Rafael J. Wysocki2013-09-102-32/+37

| * PM / hibernate / memory hotplug: Rework mutual exclusionRafael J. Wysocki2013-08-312-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since all of the memory hotplug operations have to be carried out under device_hotplug_lock, they won't need to acquire pm_mutex if device_hotplug_lock is held around hibernation. For this reason, make the hibernation code acquire device_hotplug_lock after freezing user space processes and release it before thawing them. At the same tim drop the lock_system_sleep() and unlock_system_sleep() calls from lock_memory_hotplug() and unlock_memory_hotplug(), respectively. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * PM / hibernate: Create memory bitmaps after freezing user spaceRafael J. Wysocki2013-08-312-32/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hibernation core uses special memory bitmaps during image creation and restoration and traditionally those bitmaps are allocated before freezing tasks, because in the past GFP_KERNEL allocations might not work after all tasks had been frozen. However, this is an anachronism, because hibernation_snapshot() now calls hibernate_preallocate_memory() which allocates memory for the image upfront anyway, so the memory bitmaps may be allocated after freezing user space safely. For this reason, move all of the create_basic_memory_bitmaps() calls after freeze_processes() and all of the corresponding free_basic_memory_bitmaps() calls before thaw_processes(). This will allow us to hold device_hotplug_lock around hibernation without the need to worry about freezing issues with user space processes attempting to acquire it via sysfs attributes after the creation of memory bitmaps and before the freezing of tasks.

This also should make ACPIPHP work in some cases in which it was known to have problems. From Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov. 2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki. 3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from Rafael J Wysocki. 4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the field already). One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator, is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing problems to happen. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim. 5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger. 6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with the latter from Ben Guthro. 7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI backlight and possibly other things will not work on them). From Felipe Contreras. 8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo, Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen, Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun. 9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially, it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional to load) from Stratos Karafotis. 10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat. 11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the driver core. From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha. 12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and driver module references from Viresh Kumar, Lukasz Majewski and Rafael J Wysocki. 13) Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Amit Daniel Kachhap, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Hanjun Guo, Jingoo Han, Joseph Lo, Julia Lawall, Li Zhong, Mark Brown, Sascha Hauer, Stephen Boyd, Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar. 14) Fixes to prevent race conditions in coupled cpuidle from happening from Colin Cross. 15) cpuidle core fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano and Tuukka Tikkanen. 16) Assorted cpuidle fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Geert Uytterhoeven, Jingoo Han, Julia Lawall, Linus Walleij, and Sahara. 17) System sleep tracing changes from Todd E Brandt and Shuah Khan. 18) PNP subsystem conversion to using struct dev_pm_ops for power management from Shuah Khan. * tag 'pm+acpi-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (217 commits) cpufreq: Don't use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context cpuidle: coupled: fix race condition between pokes and safe state cpuidle: coupled: abort idle if pokes are pending cpuidle: coupled: disable interrupts after entering safe state ACPI / hotplug: Remove containers synchronously driver core / ACPI: Avoid device hot remove locking issues cpufreq: governor: Fix typos in comments cpufreq: governors: Remove duplicate check of target freq in supported range cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption due to double queueing ACPI / EC: Add ASUSTEK L4R to quirk list in order to validate ECDT ACPI / thermal: Add check of "_TZD" availability and evaluating result cpufreq: imx6q: Fix clock enable balance ACPI: blacklist win8 OSI for buggy laptops cpufreq: tegra: fix the wrong clock name cpuidle: Change struct menu_device field types cpuidle: Add a comment warning about possible overflow cpuidle: Fix variable domains in get_typical_interval() cpuidle: Fix menu_device->intervals type cpuidle: CodingStyle: Break up multiple assignments on single line cpuidle: Check called function parameter in get_typical_interval() ...

Ftrace will now be turned off when suspend reaches disable_nonboot_cpus() instead of at the very beginning of system suspend. Ftrace was disabled during suspend/resume back in 2008 by Steven Rostedt as he discovered there was a conflict in the enable_nonboot_cpus() call (see commit f42ac38 "ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram"). This change preserves his fix by disabling ftrace, but only at the function where it is known to cause problems. The new change allows tracing of the device level code for better debug.

The reader lock, get_online_cpus(), assures that the maps are not updated while holding the lock. The writer lock, cpu_hotplug_begin(), is used to udpate the cpu maps along with cpu_maps_update_begin(). However, the ACPI processor handler updates the cpu maps without holding the the writer lock. acpi_map_lsapic() is called from acpi_processor_hotadd_init() to update cpu_possible_mask and cpu_present_mask. acpi_unmap_lsapic() is called from acpi_processor_remove() to update cpu_possible_mask. Currently, they are either unprotected or protected with the reader lock, which is not correct. For example, the get_online_cpus() below is supposed to assure that cpu_possible_mask is not changed while the code is iterating with for_each_possible_cpu(). get_online_cpus(); for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { : } put_online_cpus(); However, this lock has no protection with CPU hotplug since the ACPI processor handler does not use the writer lock when it updates cpu_possible_mask. The reader lock does not serialize within the readers. This patch protects them with the writer lock with cpu_hotplug_begin() along with cpu_maps_update_begin(), which must be held before calling cpu_hotplug_begin(). It also protects arch_register_cpu() / arch_unregister_cpu(), which creates / deletes a sysfs cpu device interface. For this purpose it changes cpu_hotplug_begin() and cpu_hotplug_done() to global and exports them in cpu.h. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

It did fix some important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here too. Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6 output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk attached. The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want to send to other devices too. That's really bad behavior. Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change. 2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago. From Eric Dumazet. 3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne. 4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the skb->sk too early. Fix from Li Hongjun. 5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from Chris Clark. 6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain alloc_skb() for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner mark which needs to see the skb->sk for such frames. From Phil Oester. 7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz, specifically in the handling of virtual functions. 8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when we have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules. Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg. 10) Fix network namespace handing wrt. SCM_RIGHTS, from Andy Lutomirski. 11) Fix usage of bogus NAPI weight in jme, netxen, and ps3_gelic drivers. From Michal Schmidt. 12) Hopefully a complete and correct fix for the genetlink dump locking and module reference counting. From Pravin B Shelar. 13) sk_busy_loop() must do a cpu_relax(), from Eliezer Tamir. 14) Fix handling of timestamp offset when restoring a snapshotted TCP socket.

Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g. "rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail. This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to verify that there's no live child left. While this is very late in the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe the fix is relatively safe.

Here's a trivial reproducer: cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list. Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed: those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir. (I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.) tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.

This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock. Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to stop_machine. Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

When the work item runs, pm_qos_work_fn() will call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is canceling itself. Let's extract the little bit of code that does the real work of pm_qos_update_request() and call it from the work function so that we don't deadlock. Before ed1ac6e (PM: don't use [delayed_]work_pending()) this didn't happen because the work function wouldn't try to cancel itself.

This is the special case of wait-for-condition, it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending). However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with "if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section. The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already does by the same reason. We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(), for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change the default implementation. While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers. Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for prepare_to_wait().

This included a fix to the debugfs system (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman). We think that all the holes have been patched and hopefully we don't find more. I haven't marked all of them for stable because I need to examine them more to figure out how far back some of the changes need to go. Along the way, some other fixes have been made. Alexander Z Lam fixed some logic where the wrong buffer was being modifed. Andrew Vagin found a possible corruption for machines that actually allocate cpumask, as a reference to one was being zeroed out by mistake. Dhaval Giani found a bad prototype when tracing is not configured. And I not only had some changes to help Oleg, but also finally fixed a long standing bug that Dave Jones and others have been hitting, where a module unload and reload can cause the function tracing accounting to get screwed up" * tag 'trace-fixes-3.11-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Fix reset of time stamps during trace_clock changes tracing: Make TRACE_ITER_STOP_ON_FREE stop the correct buffer tracing: Fix trace_dump_stack() proto when CONFIG_TRACING is not set tracing: Fix fields of struct trace_iterator that are zeroed by mistake tracing/uprobes: Fail to unregister if probe event files are in use tracing/kprobes: Fail to unregister if probe event files are in use tracing: Add comment to describe special break case in probe_remove_event_call() tracing: trace_remove_event_call() should fail if call/file is in use debugfs: debugfs_remove_recursive() must not rely on list_empty(d_subdirs) ftrace: Check module functions being traced on reload ftrace: Consolidate some duplicate code for updating ftrace ops tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear "d_subdirs"->i_private tracing: Introduce remove_event_file_dir() tracing: Change f_start() to take event_mutex and verify i_private != NULL tracing: Change event_filter_read/write to verify i_private != NULL tracing: Change event_enable/disable_read() to verify i_private != NULL tracing: Turn event/id->i_private into call->event.type

This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to return the current time.

The declaration contains a comment about that, but it doesn't help. The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed. The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask. Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed. The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

There's a race between writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that was deleted. The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe. When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and prevent the event from being removed.

The loop searches all event files for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there. As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This is what the callers assume but can't verify outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort if trace_remove_event_call() fails. The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds. debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove() does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need the additional checks: - There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the patch checks ->perf_refcount. - TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE, so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented. When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented. If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until reboot. The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on (and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the notrace_hash). When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is function records for one module will not exist on the same page as function records for other modules or even the core kernel. Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be incremented). The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect that. With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer: Using uinput module and uinput_release function. cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing modprobe uinput echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter echo function > current_tracer rmmod uinput modprobe uinput # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again echo nop > current_tracer [BOOM] The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that can be traced within the module. We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function. Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record associated to uinput_release. Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents uinput_release. Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address). This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero, including uinput_release. Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have a mismatch (below zero ref count). The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts tracing that function. There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload, but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too. Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's function on unload and load.
