2010-01-21sched: Remove USER_SCHEDDhaval Giani
Remove the USER_SCHED feature. It has been scheduled to be removed in 2.6.34 as per http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125728479022976&w=2 Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval.giani@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1263990378.24844.3.camel@localhost> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-01-21sched: Fix the place where group powers are updatedGautham R Shenoy
We want to update the sched_group_powers when balance_cpu == this_cpu. Currently the group powers are updated only if the balance_cpu is the first CPU in the local group. But balance_cpu = this_cpu could also be the first idle cpu in the group. Hence fix the place where the group powers are updated.

2010-01-21sched: Remove load_balance_newidle()Peter Zijlstra
The two functions: load_balance{,_newidle}() are very similar, with the following differences: - rq->lock usage - sb->balance_interval updates - *balance check So remove the load_balance_newidle() call with load_balance(.idle = CPU_NEWLY_IDLE), explicitly unlock the rq->lock before calling (would be done by double_lock_balance() anyway), and ignore the other differences for now.

2010-01-21sched: Unify load_balance{,_newidle}()Peter Zijlstra
load_balance() and load_balance_newidle() look remarkably similar, one key point they differ in is the condition on when to active balance. So split out that logic into a separate function. One side effect is that previously load_balance_newidle() used to fail and return -1 under these conditions, whereas now it doesn't. I've not yet fully figured out the whole -1 return case for either load_balance{,_newidle}().

2009-12-23SYSCTL: Print binary sysctl warnings (nearly) only onceAndi Kleen
When printing legacy sysctls print the warning message for each of them only once. This way there is a guarantee the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program. The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored the flag inline. Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a code snippet from him. The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not be a problem I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls are hashed: size 256 bucket length number 0: [25] 1: [67] 2: [88] 3: [47] 4: [22] 5: [6] 6: [1] The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

2009-12-22kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

2009-12-22Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 7bc7d637452383d56ba4368d4336b0dde1bb476d, as requested by John Stultz. Quoting John: "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with 2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the nanoseconds field. He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the sub-nanosecond accumulated time. Details: * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime. This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime. Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by that rounding. * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache. * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is known to work. * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code. Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the xtime_cache change is the best approach for now. Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

2009-12-21resources: fix call to alignf() in allocate_resource()Dominik Brodowski
The second parameter to alignf() in allocate_resource() must reflect what new resource is attempted to be allocated, else functions like pcibios_align_resource() (at least on x86) or pcmcia_align() can't work correctly. Commit 1e5ad9679016275d422e36b12a98b0927d76f556 broke this by setting the "new" resource until we're about to return success. To keep the resource untouched when allocate_resource() fails, a "tmp" resource is introduced.

2009-12-19fix braindamage in audit_tree.c untag_chunk()Al Viro
... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage". The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one. After that the old one is fair game for freeing. First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array and vice versa. Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the element to be excluded happens to be the last one. We shouldn't go until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old one. Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the cyclic lists... That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite trivial to hit. Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the shit had hit the fan...

Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues. Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys nothing but slows down do_wait(). With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders). The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it changes ->group_leader. Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and ptrace_do_wait()). This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(), but this is fixable and minor. Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they should be fixed in any case.

2009-12-17sched: Fix broken assertionPeter Zijlstra
There's a preemption race in the set_task_cpu() debug check in that when we get preempted after setting task->state we'd still be on the rq proper, but fail the test. Check for preempted tasks, since those are always on the RQ.

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

2009-12-17sched: Teach might_sleep() about preemptible RCUFrederic Weisbecker
In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu. Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while atomic" issues. So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in might_sleep() checks.
