Right after, the tracee can be killed and thus its breakpoints released. This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing a freed pointer. Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

* | | | Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"Arjan van de Ven2011-05-062-0/+2
| |_|/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This partially reverts commit e6e1e2593592a8f6f6380496655d8c6f67431266. That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly. I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can just use this padding field.

While not entirely correct this worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC]) Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME. Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up. Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to the status of <= 2.6.39.

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.

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).

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.

Commit b41277dc7a18ee332d in 2.6.38 introduced the regression by accidentally removing the the FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT assignment from futex_wait() during the setup of the restart block. Restore the originaly behavior.

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.
