2009-04-21sched: Replace first_cpu() with cpumask_first() in ILB nomination codeGautham R Shenoy1-1/+1
Stephen Rothwell reported this build warning: > kernel/sched.c: In function 'find_new_ilb': > kernel/sched.c:4355: warning: passing argument 1 of '__first_cpu' from incompatible pointer type > > Possibly caused by commit f711f6090a81cbd396b63de90f415d33f563af9b > ("sched: Nominate idle load balancer from a semi-idle package") from > the sched tree. Should this call to first_cpu be cpumask_first? For !(CONFIG_SCHED_MC || CONFIG_SCHED_SMT), find_new_ilb() nominates the Idle load balancer as the first cpu from the nohz.cpu_mask. This code uses the older API first_cpu(). Replace it with cpumask_first(), which is the correct API here.

2009-04-14wait: don't use __wake_up_common()Johannes Weiner2-2/+2
'777c6c5 wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation' made __wake_up_common() global to be used from abort_exclusive_wait(). It was needed to do a wake-up with the waitqueue lock held while passing down a key to the wake-up function. Since '4ede816 epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()' there is an appropriate wrapper for this case: __wake_up_locked_key(). Use it here and make __wake_up_common() private to the scheduler again.

2009-04-14sched: Nominate a power-efficient ilb in select_nohz_balancer()Gautham R Shenoy1-1/+17
The CPU that first goes idle becomes the idle-load-balancer and remains that until either it picks up a task or till all the CPUs of the system goes idle. Optimize this further to allow it to relinquish it's post once all it's siblings in the power-aware sched_domain go idle, thereby allowing the whole package-core to go idle. While relinquising the post, nominate another an idle-load balancer from a semi-idle core/package.

2009-04-14sched: Nominate idle load balancer from a semi-idle package.Gautham R Shenoy1-9/+118
Currently the nomination of idle-load balancer is done by choosing the first idle cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask. This may not be power-efficient, since such an idle cpu could come from a completely idle core/package thereby preventing the whole core/package from being in a low-power state. For eg, consider a quad-core dual package system. The cpu numbering need not be sequential and can something like [0, 2, 4, 6] and [1, 3, 5, 7]. With sched_mc/smt_power_savings and the power-aware IRQ balance, we try to keep as fewer Packages/Cores active. But the current idle load balancer logic goes against this by choosing the first_cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask and not taking the system topology into consideration. Improve the algorithm to nominate the idle load balancer from a semi idle cores/packages thereby increasing the probability of the cores/packages being in deeper sleep states for longer duration. The algorithm is activated only when sched_mc/smt_power_savings != 0.

2009-04-07kprobes: support per-kprobe disablingMasami Hiramatsu1-26/+141
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.

Currently, kprobes can disable all probes at once, but can't disable it individually (not unregister, just disable an kprobe, because unregistering needs to wait for scheduler synchronization). These patches introduce APIs for on-the-fly per-probe disabling and re-enabling by dis-arming/re-arming its breakpoint instruction.

2009-04-07mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threadsPeter W Morreale1-0/+23
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush on both large and small machines. The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices. Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the kernel. The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000. Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

2009-04-07tracing: remove CALLER_ADDR2 from wakeup tracerSteven Rostedt1-1/+7
Maneesh Soni was getting a crash when running the wakeup tracer. We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the CALLER_ADDR2 macro. This is used to get the location of the caller to schedule. But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as __builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in the wakeup tracer code. mov 0x0(%rbp),%rcx <--- get the frame pointer of the caller mov %r14d,%r8d mov 0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi mov 0x8(%rcx),%rsi <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1) mov 0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx mov (%rcx),%rax <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller mov %r12,%rcx mov 0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2) At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault. The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address and the content of %rax here was zero. To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues. Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer will help there if needed.

This reverts commit 9cb610d8e35fe3ec95a2fe2030b02f85aeea83c1. This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless. Even better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

2009-04-05Audit: remove spaces from audit_log_d_pathEric Paris2-3/+3
audit_log_d_path had spaces in the strings which would be emitted on the error paths. This patch simply replaces those spaces with an _ or removes the needless spaces entirely. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This patch simply moves the function inside a CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE block. cc1: warnings being treated as errors /home/acme_unencrypted/git/linux-2.6-tip/kernel/auditsc.c:745: error: ‘audit_set_auditable’ defined but not used make[2]: *** [kernel/auditsc.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

2009-04-05audit: incorrect ref counting in audit tree tag_chunkEric Paris1-0/+2
tag_chunk has bad exit paths in which the inotify ref counting is wrong. At the top of the function we found &old_watch using inotify_find_watch(). inotify_find_watch takes a reference to the watch. This is never dropped on an error path. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-04-05audit: Fix possible return value truncation in audit_get_context()Paul Moore1-1/+1
The audit subsystem treats syscall return codes as type long, unfortunately the audit_get_context() function mistakenly converts the return code to an int type in the parameters which could cause problems on systems where the sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

2009-04-05audit: ignore terminating NUL in AUDIT_USER_TTY messagesMiloslav Trmac1-0/+3
AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent NUL-terminated. Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using audit_log_n_untrustedstring(). This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

2009-04-05Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL charactersMiloslav Trmac1-1/+1
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control() to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL. audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory is after the NULL. Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it) we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using audit_log_untrustedstring.

2009-04-05audit: EXECVE record - removed bogus newlineJiri Pirko1-5/+4
(updated) Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same. EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts "\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in an audit record. record before this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n" record after this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\"" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
