2008-10-30'kill sig -1' must only apply to caller's namespaceSukadev Bhattiprolu1-1/+2
Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148 As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1" check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's namespace.

profile_init() calls in to alloc_bootmem() on early initialization. While alloc_bootmem() is __init, the reference itself is safe in that it is tucked below a !slab_is_available() check.

2008-10-29ftrace: fix trace_nop config selectSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in the ftrace infrastructure. The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has been solved by renaming the function tracer). This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING. This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define the FUNCTION_TRACER.

2008-10-28ftrace: perform an initialization for ftrace to enable itFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+8
Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace. The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1 because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled. So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct, __register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook. This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize ftrace during the boot.

2008-10-28ftrace: fix current_tracer error returnSteven Rostedt1-3/+4
The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23 ( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer ) added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into the current_tracer file. But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny thing is that the tracer would have already been set. This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

2008-10-28lockdep: fix irqs on/off ip tracingHeiko Carstens1-7/+5
Impact: fix lockdep lock-api-caller output when irqsoff tracing is enabled 81d68a96 "ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings" added wrappers around trace_hardirqs_on/off_caller. However these functions use __builtin_return_address(0) to figure out which function actually disabled or enabled irqs. The result is that we save the ips of trace_hardirqs_on/off instead of the real caller. Not very helpful. However since the patch from Steven the ip already gets passed. So use that and get rid of __builtin_return_address(0) in these two functions. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-10-25Revert "Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls."Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This reverts commit a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635 by moving the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been initialized. It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall(). That should satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.

2008-10-24sched: virtual time buddy preemptionPeter Zijlstra2-7/+4
Since we moved wakeup preemption back to virtual time, it makes sense to move the buddy stuff back as well. The purpose of the buddy scheduling is to allow a quickly scheduling pair of tasks to run away from the group as far as a regular busy task would be allowed under wakeup preemption. This has the advantage that the pair can ping-pong for a while, enjoying cache-hotness. Without buddy scheduling other tasks would interleave destroying the cache. Also, it saves a word in cfs_rq.

2008-10-24sched: more accurate min_vruntime accountingPeter Zijlstra1-24/+25
Mike noticed the current min_vruntime tracking can go wrong and skip the current task. If the only remaining task in the tree is a nice 19 task with huge vruntime, new tasks will be inserted too far to the right too, causing some interactibity issues. min_vruntime can only change due to the leftmost entry disappearing (dequeue_entity()), or by the leftmost entry being incremented past the next entry, which elects a new leftmost (__update_curr()) Due to the current entry not being part of the actual tree, we have to compare the leftmost tree entry with the current entry, and take the leftmost of these two. So create a update_min_vruntime() function that takes computes the leftmost vruntime in the system (either tree of current) and increases the cfs_rq->min_vruntime if the computed value is larger than the previously found min_vruntime. And call this from the two sites we've identified that can change min_vruntime.

2008-10-23ftrace: remove ftrace hashSteven Rostedt2-211/+35
The ftrace hash was used by the ftrace_daemon code. The record ip function would place the calling address (ip) into the hash. The daemon would later read the hash and modify that code. The hash complicates the code. This patch removes it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The arch dependent function ftrace_mcount_set was only used by the daemon start up code. This patch removes it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-10-23ftrace: remove daemonSteven Rostedt2-308/+28
