* ftrace: Move record update for normal and modules into a separate functionSteven Rostedt2011-04-291-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | The updating of a function record is moved to a single function. This will allow us to add specific changes in one location for both modules and kernel functions. Later patches will determine if the function record itself needs to be updated (which enables the mcount caller), or just the ftrace_ops needs the update.

* ftrace: Remove FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flagSteven Rostedt2011-04-291-8/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag is pointless. The FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag was used to denote records that were successfully converted from mcount calls into nops. But if a single record fails, all of ftrace is disabled.

* ftrace: Remove FTRACE_FL_FAILED flagSteven Rostedt2011-04-291-29/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_FAILED flag is pointless. Removing this flag simplifies some of the code, but some ftrace_disabled checks needed to be added or move around a little. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Remove failures fileSteven Rostedt2011-04-291-37/+2
| | | | | | | | | The failures file in the debugfs tracing directory would list the functions that failed to convert when the old dead ftrace daemon tried to update code but failed. Since this code is now dead along with the daemon the failures file is useless. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Remove unnecessary disabling of irqsSteven Rostedt2011-04-291-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | The disabling of interrupts around ftrace_update_code() was used to protect against the evil ftrace daemon from years past. But that daemon has long been killed. It is safe to keep interrupts enabled while updating the initial mcount into nops. The ftrace_mutex is also held which keeps other users at bay. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| * jump label: Introduce static_branch() interfaceJason Baron2011-04-043-337/+229
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce: static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key); instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro. In this way, jump labels become really easy to use: Define: struct jump_label_key jump_key; Can be used as: if (static_branch(&jump_key)) do unlikely code enable/disale via: jump_label_inc(&jump_key); jump_label_dec(&jump_key); that's it! For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(), atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct. Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write. Testing: I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3 configurations, where tracepoints were disabled. jump label configured in avg: 815.6 jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads) avg: 800.1 jump label *not* configured in (regular reads) avg: 803.4 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <20110316212947.GA8792@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Suggested-by: H.

| * tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipeJiri Olsa2011-04-042-3/+15

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test. (ftrace_stress_test.sh) The reasons are: - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe function never to break. The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing. v2 changes: - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able to find out the culprit v3 changes: - make more accurate patch comment Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <20110325110518.GC1922@jolsa.brq.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * tracing: Print trace_bprintk() formats for modules tooSteven Rostedt2011-04-041-6/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events to get the format saved when reading the ring buffer directly. This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the buffer, but just the address of the format, which is hidden in the kernel memory. But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * tracing: Convert trace_printk() formats for module to const char *Steven Rostedt2011-04-041-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace_printk() formats for modules do not show up in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats file. Only the formats that are for trace_printk()s that are in the kernel core. To facilitate the change to add trace_printk() formats from modules into that file as well, we need to convert the structure that holds the formats from char fmt[], into const char *fmt, and allocate them separately.

| * | posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphoreRichard Cochran2011-04-181-15/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex. However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes. For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime would have to wait for almost a whole second. This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of a mutex.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons. The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental" flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd, we should be able to get the best of both worlds. So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd, and only use that from the schedule() path. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system. This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system. However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned tasks at all. The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level: load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process. Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes attempt to move load onto puller CPU. To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level. This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just last one in the list.

This will cause erroneous imbalance calculation. The reason is that calculate_imbalance() sees sds->avg_load = 0 and it will dump entire sds->max_load into imbalance variable, which is used later on to migrate entire load from busiest CPU to the puller CPU. This has two really bad effect: 1. stampede of task migration, and they won't be able to break out of the bad state because of positive feedback loop: large load delta -> heavier load migration -> larger imbalance and the cycle goes on. 2. severe imbalance in CPU queue depth. This causes really long scheduling latency blip which affects badly on application that has tight latency requirement. The fix is to have kernel calculate domain avg_load in both cases. This will ensure that imbalance calculation is always sensible and the target is usually half way between busiest and puller CPU.

The reason is that the function needs to first schedule out the cgroup events, just like for the per-thread events. The cgroup event are scheduled back in automatically from the perf_event_context_sched_in() function. The patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() is perf_cgroup_switch() to catch any bogus state.

However, that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that they would never use. To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire hibernate code along with it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This also makes it cleaner, smaller and documents the code.

Thus, if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question. Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue) having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate) that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states, for SCHED_FIFO: "If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the modification, as follows: a. <...> b.

| |/ / |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware. This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash. Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make it a weak function so we can override it.
