* /dev/oldmem: Remove the interfaceZhang Yanfei2013-07-031-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this interface. And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64 where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386. So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of code.

* rtc: add ability to push out an existing wakealarm using sysfsBernie Thompson2013-07-031-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the ability for the rtc sysfs code to handle += characters at the beginning of a wakealarm setting string. This will allow the user to attempt to push out an existing wakealarm by a provided amount. In the case that the += characters are provided but the alarm is not active -EINVAL is returned. his is useful, at least for my purposes in suspend/resume testing. The basic test goes something like: 1. Set a wake alarm from userspace 5 seconds in the future 2. Start the suspend process (echo mem > /sys/power/state) 3. After ~2.5 seconds if userspace is still running (using another thread to check this), move the wake alarm 5 more seconds If the "move" involves an unset of the wakealarm then there's a period of time where the system is midway through suspending but has no wake alarm. It will get stuck. We'd rather not remove the "move" since the idea is to avoid a cancelled suspend when the alarm fires _during_ suspend. It is difficult for the test to tell the difference between a suspend that was cancelled because the alarm fired too early and a suspend that was Signed-off-by: Bernie Thompson <bhthompson@chromium.org> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Cc: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Cc: "Rafael J.

* pagemap: prepare to reuse constant bits with page-shiftPavel Emelyanov2013-07-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to reuse bits from pagemap entries gracefully, we leave the entries as is but on pagemap open emit a warning in dmesg, that bits 55-60 are about to change in a couple of releases. Next, if a user issues soft-dirty clear command via the clear_refs file (it was disabled before v3.9) we assume that he's aware of the new pagemap format, note that fact and report the bits in pagemap in the new manner. The "migration strategy" looks like this then: 1. existing users are not affected -- they don't touch soft-dirty feature, thus see old bits in pagemap, but are warned and have time to fix themselves 2. those who use soft-dirty know about new pagemap format 3. some time soon we get rid of any signs of page-shift in pagemap as well as this trick with clear-soft-dirty affecting pagemap format.

* mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes trackingPavel Emelyanov2013-07-032-1/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task writes to. In order to do this tracking one should 1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs) 2. Wait some time. 3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries) To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE. Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE. Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

That's valid in most cases except for server-side lockd, which validates the owner of a lock based on fl_owner and fl_pid. In the case where you have a small number of NFS clients doing a lot of locking between different processes, you could end up with all the blocked requests sitting in a very small number of hash buckets. Add a new lm_owner_key operation to the lock_manager_operations that will generate an unsigned long to use as the key in the hashtable. That function is only implemented for server-side lockd, and simply XORs the fl_owner and fl_pid. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: J.

Instead of doing that, move most of the code to be protected by the i_lock instead. The exceptions are the global lists that the ->fl_link sits on, and the ->fl_block list. ->fl_link is what connects these structures to the global lists, so we must ensure that we hold those locks when iterating over or updating these lists. Furthermore, sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the blocked_list state steady while checking for loops. We also must ensure that the search and update to the list are atomic. For the checking and insertion side of the blocked_list, push the acquisition of the global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that checking and update of the blocked_list is done without dropping the lock in between. On the removal side, when waking up blocked lock waiters, take the global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters from the global list prior to removal from the fl_block list. With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize excessive file_lock_lock thrashing. Finally, in order to avoid a lock inversion problem when handling /proc/locks output we must ensure that manipulations of the fl_block list are also protected by the file_lock_lock.

The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues

Currently, most workqueues are bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a core that is already awake. Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings. However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter. tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but others may disagree. The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all others. As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am not sure if there are any other users of the interface.
