sched/deadline: Fix migration of SCHED_DEADLINE tasks

2015-11-09T22:37:39+00:00

commit 5aa5050787f449e7eaef2c5ec93c7b357aa7dcdc upstream.

Commit:

  9d5142624256 ("sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target")

broke select_task_rq_dl() and find_lock_later_rq(), because it introduced
a comparison between the local task's deadline and dl.earliest_dl.curr of
the remote queue.

However, if the remote runqueue does not contain any SCHED_DEADLINE
task its earliest_dl.curr is 0 (always smaller than the deadline of
the local task) and the remote runqueue is not selected for pushing.

As a result, if an application creates multiple SCHED_DEADLINE
threads, they will never be pushed to runqueues that do not already
contain SCHED_DEADLINE tasks.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if dl.dl_nr_running == 0.

module: Fix locking in symbol_put_addr()

2015-11-09T22:37:37+00:00

commit 275d7d44d802ef271a42dc87ac091a495ba72fc5 upstream.

Poma (on the way to another bug) reported an assertion triggering:

  [] module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x49/0x90
  [] __module_address+0x32/0x150
  [] __module_text_address+0x16/0x70
  [] symbol_put_addr+0x29/0x40
  [] dvb_frontend_detach+0x7d/0x90 [dvb_core]

Laura Abbott  produced a patch which lead us to
inspect symbol_put_addr(). This function has a comment claiming it
doesn't need to disable preemption around the module lookup
because it holds a reference to the module it wants to find, which
therefore cannot go away.

This is wrong (and a false optimization too, preempt_disable() is really
rather cheap, and I doubt any of this is on uber critical paths,
otherwise it would've retained a pointer to the actual module anyway and
avoided the second lookup).

While its true that the module cannot go away while we hold a reference
on it, the data structure we do the lookup in very much _CAN_ change
while we do the lookup. Therefore fix the comment and add the
required preempt_disable().

tracing: Have stack tracer force RCU to be watching

2015-11-09T22:37:33+00:00

commit a2d7629048322ae62bff57f34f5f995e25ed234c upstream.

The stack tracer was triggering the WARN_ON() in module.c:

 static void module_assert_mutex_or_preempt(void)
 {
 #ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
	if (unlikely(!debug_locks))
		return;

	WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_sched_held() &&
		!lockdep_is_held(&module_mutex));
 #endif
 }

The reason is that the stack tracer traces all function calls, and some of
those calls happen while exiting or entering user space and idle. Some of
these functions are called after RCU had already stopped watching, as RCU
does not watch userspace or idle CPUs.

If a max stack is hit, then the save_stack_trace() is called, which will
check module addresses and call module_assert_mutex_or_preempt(), and then
trigger the warning. Sad part is, the warning itself will also do a stack
trace and tigger the same warning. That probably should be fixed.

The warning was added by 0be964be0d45 "module: Sanitize RCU usage and
locking" but this bug has probably been around longer. But it's unlikely to
cause much harm, but the new warning causes the system to lock up.

timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init()

2015-10-27T00:53:43+00:00

commit 56fd16cabac9cd8f15e2902898a9d0cc96e2fa70 upstream.

timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to
increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick
up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not
set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at
0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.

workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu

2015-10-27T00:53:39+00:00

commit 874bbfe600a660cba9c776b3957b1ce393151b76 upstream.

My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed
work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu.
schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The
problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in
timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed
work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu.
The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer
runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

sched/preempt: Fix cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq()

2015-10-22T21:49:35+00:00

commit fe32d3cd5e8eb0f82e459763374aa80797023403 upstream.

These functions check should_resched() before unlocking spinlock/bh-enable:
preempt_count always non-zero => should_resched() always returns false.
cond_resched_lock() worked iff spin_needbreak is set.

This patch adds argument "preempt_offset" to should_resched().

preempt_count offset constants for that:

  PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET  - offset after preempt_disable()
  PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET     - offset after spin_lock()
  SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET  - offset after local_bh_distable()
  SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET     - offset after spin_lock_bh()

clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values

2015-10-22T21:49:33+00:00

commit 67dfae0cd72fec5cd158b6e5fb1647b7dbe0834c upstream.

This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.

This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().

genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc()

2015-10-22T21:49:33+00:00

commit 95c2b17534654829db428f11bcf4297c059a2a7e upstream.

Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first
added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created.  In the case of
a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory.  This
race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to
hit with async probing.

Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"

2015-10-22T21:49:19+00:00

commit 0c986253b939cc14c69d4adbe2b4121bdf4aa220 upstream.

This reverts commit d59cfc09c32a2ae31f1c3bc2983a0cd79afb3f14.

d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
