with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is
that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being
traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it
was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being

This patch addresses a very sporadic pi-futex related failure in
highly threaded java apps on large SMP systems.
David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in
lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that
the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out
of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption,
but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the
pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when
the user space variable needs to be fixed up.
The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains
the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between
the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner
or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the
kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out
with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user
space. User space has no way to fixup that state.
When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash
bucket lock at this point to handle the fault.
After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there
are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the
user space variable:
- the task which acquired the rtmutex
- the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex
Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to
user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults
in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls
futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could
acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space
variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the
first task already faulted the page in.
One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault
handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the
pi_state owner has been modified already.

It seems that the current implementaton of wait_for_completion_timeout()
has a small problem under very high load for the common pattern:
if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&done, timeout))
/* handle failure */
because the implementation very roughly does (lots of code deleted to
show the basic flow):
static inline long __sched
do_wait_for_common(struct completion *x, long timeout, int state)
{
if (x->done)
return timeout;
do {
timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);
if (!timeout)
return timeout;
} while (!x->done);
return timeout;
}
so if the system is very busy and x->done is not set when
do_wait_for_common() is entered, it is possible that the first call to
schedule_timeout() returns 0 because the task doing wait_for_completion
doesn't get rescheduled for a long time, even if it is woken up early
enough.
In this case, wait_for_completion_timeout() returns 0 without even
checking x->done again, and the code above falls into its failure case
purely for scheduler reasons, even if the hardware event or whatever was
being waited for happened early enough.
It would make sense to add an extra test to do_wait_for() in the timeout
case and return 1 if x->done is actually set.
A quick audit (not exhaustive) of wait_for_completion_timeout() callers
seems to indicate that no one actually cares about the return value in
the success case -- they just test for 0 (timed out) versus non-zero
(wait succeeded).

This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait
time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following
reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for
CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state),
the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this,
the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the
next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by
recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the
sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on
the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the
process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state.
The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs.
The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on
the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported
back to user space.

This patch re-institutes the ability to build rcutorture directly into
the Linux kernel. The reason that this capability was removed was that
this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture
would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided
by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default,
(2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture
to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named
/proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be
quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel.
Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture
is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier
take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set
rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero.
The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops
in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will
be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second.

The touch_nmi_watchdog() routine on x86 ultimately calls
touch_softlockup_watchdog(). The problem is that to touch the
softlockup watchdog, the cpu_clock code has to be called which could
involve multiple cpu locks and can lead to a hard hang if one of the
locks is held by a processor that is not going to return anytime soon
(such as could be the case with kgdb or perhaps even with some other
kind of exception).
This patch causes the public version of the
touch_softlockup_watchdog() to defer the cpu clock access to a later
point.
The test case for this problem is to use the following kernel config
options:
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100I100000"
It should be noted that kgdb test suite and these options were not
available until 2.6.26-rc2, so it was necessary to patch the kgdb
test suite during the bisection.
I would consider this patch a regression fix because the problem first
appeared in commit 27ec440779 when some
logic was added to try to periodically sync the clocks. It was
possible to work around this particular problem by simply not
performing the sync anytime the system was in a critical context.
This was ok until commit 3e51f33fcc,
which added config option CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and some
multi-cpu locks to sync the clocks. It became clear that accessing
this code from an nmi was the source of the lockups. Avoiding the
access to the low level clock code from an code inside the NMI
processing also fixed the problem with the 27ec44... commit.

First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.
Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

Sadly it failed to take the hierarchy into consideration. Share more of the

This patch takes a step towards making rcutorture more brutal by allowing
the test to be automatically periodically paused, with the default being
to run the test for five seconds then pause for five seconds and repeat.
This behavior can be controlled using a new "stutter" module parameter, so
that "stutter=0" gives the old default behavior of running continuously.
Starting and stopping rcutorture more heavily stresses RCU's interaction
with the scheduler, as well as exercising more paths through the
grace-period detection code.
Note that the default to "shuffle_interval" has also been adjusted from
5 seconds to 3 seconds to provide varying overlap with the "stutter"
interval.
I am still unable to provoke the failures that Alexey has been seeing,
even with this patch, but will be doing a few additional things to beef
up rcutorture.

regarding this commit: 45c01e8249
I think we can do it simpler. Please take a look at the patch below.
Instead of having 2 separate arrays (which is + ~800 bytes on x86_32 and
twice so on x86_64), let's add "exclusive" (the ones that are bound to
this CPU) tasks to the head of the queue and "shared" ones -- to the
end.
In case of a few newly woken up "exclusive" tasks, they are 'stacked'
(not queued as now), meaning that a task {i+1} is being placed in front
of the previously woken up task {i}. But I don't think that this
behavior may cause any realistic problems.
There are a couple of changes on top of this one.
(1) in check_preempt_curr_rt()
I don't think there is a need for the "pick_next_rt_entity(rq, &rq->rt)
!= &rq->curr->rt" check.
enqueue_task_rt(p) and check_preempt_curr_rt() are always called one
after another with rq->lock being held so the following check
"p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed == 1 && rq->curr->rt.nr_cpus_allowed != 1" should
be enough (well, just its left part) to guarantee that 'p' has been
queued in front of the 'curr'.
(2) in set_cpus_allowed_rt()
I don't thinks there is a need for requeue_task_rt() here.
Perhaps, the only case when 'requeue' (+ reschedule) might be useful is
as follows:
i) weight == 1 && cpu_isset(task_cpu(p), *new_mask)
i.e. a task is being bound to this CPU);
ii) 'p' != rq->curr
but here, 'p' has already been on this CPU for a while and was not
migrated. i.e. it's possible that 'rq->curr' would not have high chances
to be migrated right at this particular moment (although, has chance in
a bit longer term), should we allow it to be preempted.
Anyway, I think we should not perhaps make it more complex trying to
address some rare corner cases. For instance, that's why a single queue
approach would be preferable. Unless I'm missing something obvious, this
approach gives us similar functionality at lower cost.
Verified only compilation-wise.

ACPI PM: Add possibility to change suspend sequence
There are some systems out there that don't work correctly with
our current suspend/hibernation code ordering. Provide a workaround
for these systems allowing them to pass 'acpi_sleep=old_ordering' in
the kernel command line so that it will use the pre-ACPI 2.0 ("old")
suspend code ordering.
Unfortunately, this requires us to add a platform hook to the
resuming of devices for recovering the platform in case one of the
device drivers' .suspend() routines returns error code. Namely,
ACPI 1.0 specifies that _PTS should be called before suspending
devices, but _WAK still should be called before resuming them in
order to undo the changes made by _PTS. However, if there is an
error during suspending devices, they are automatically resumed
without returning control to the PM core, so the _WAK has to be
called from within device_resume() in that cases.
The patch also reorders and refactors the ACPI suspend/hibernation
code to avoid duplication as far as reasonably possible.

(overflow means weight >= 2^32 here, because inv_weigh = 2^32/weight)
A weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so it will overflow when there are
too many entities.
Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when
it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems
and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may
occur more frequently.
This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems.
Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.

I found a bug which can be reproduced by this way:(linux-2.6.26-rc5, x86-64)
(use 2^32, 2^33, ...., 2^63 as shares value)
# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
# mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpuctl /dev/cpuctl
# cd /dev/cpuctl
# mkdir sub
# echo 0x8000000000000000 > sub/cpu.shares
# echo $$ > sub/tasks
oops here! divide by zero.
This is because do_div() expects the 2th parameter to be 32 bits,
but unsigned long is 64 bits in x86_64.
Peter Zijstra pointed it out that the sane thing to do is limit the
shares value to something smaller instead of using an even more
expensive divide.
Also, I found another bug about "the shares value is too large":
pid1 and pid2 are set affinity to cpu#0
pid1 is attached to cg1 and pid2 is attached to cg2
if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 2000000000
then pid2 got 100% usage of cpu, and pid1 0%
if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 20000000000
then pid2 got 0% usage of cpu, and pid1 100%
And a weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so the shares value should be limited
to a smaller value.

Introduce 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops' ('ext' meaning
'extended') representing suspend and hibernation operations for bus
types, device classes, device types and device drivers.
Modify the PM core to use 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops'
objects, if defined, instead of the ->suspend(), ->resume(),
->suspend_late(), and ->resume_early() callbacks (the old callbacks
will be considered as legacy and gradually phased out).
The main purpose of doing this is to separate suspend (aka S2RAM and
standby) callbacks from hibernation callbacks in such a way that the
new callbacks won't take arguments and the semantics of each of them
will be clearly specified. This has been requested for multiple
times by many people, including Linus himself, and the reason is that
within the current scheme if ->resume() is called, for example, it's
difficult to say why it's been called (ie. is it a resume from RAM or
from hibernation or a suspend/hibernation failure etc.?).
The second purpose is to make the suspend/hibernation callbacks more
flexible so that device drivers can handle more than they can within
the current scheme. For example, some drivers may need to prevent
new children of the device from being registered before their
->suspend() callbacks are executed or they may want to carry out some
operations requiring the availability of some other devices, not
directly bound via the parent-child relationship, in order to prepare
for the execution of ->suspend(), etc.
Ultimately, we'd like to stop using the freezing of tasks for suspend
and therefore the drivers' suspend/hibernation code will have to take
care of the handling of the user space during suspend/hibernation.
That, in turn, would be difficult within the current scheme, without
the new ->prepare() and ->complete() callbacks.

schedule() has the special "TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending()" case,
this allows us to do
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule();
without fear to sleep with pending signal.
However, the code like
current->state = TASK_KILLABLE;
schedule();
is not right, schedule() doesn't take TASK_WAKEKILL into account. This means
that mutex_lock_killable(), wait_for_completion_killable(), down_killable(),
schedule_timeout_killable() can miss SIGKILL (and btw the second SIGKILL has
no effect).
Introduce the new helper, signal_pending_state(), and change schedule() to
use it. Hopefully it will have more users, that is why the task's state is
passed separately.
Note this "__TASK_STOPPED | __TASK_TRACED" check in signal_pending_state().
This is needed to preserve the current behaviour (ptrace_notify). I hope
this check will be removed soon, but this (afaics good) change needs the
separate discussion.
The fast path is "(state & (INTERRUPTIBLE | WAKEKILL)) + signal_pending(p)",
basically the same that schedule() does now. However, this patch of course

First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.
Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

The RT folks over at RedHat found an issue w.r.t. hotplug support which
was traced to problems with the cpupri infrastructure in the scheduler:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449676
This bug affects 23-rt12+, 24-rtX, 25-rtX, and sched-devel. This patch
applies to 25.4-rt4, though it should trivially apply to most cpupri enabled
kernels mentioned above.
It turned out that the issue was that offline cpus could get inadvertently
registered with cpupri so that they were erroneously selected during
migration decisions. The end result would be an OOPS as the offline cpu
had tasks routed to it.
This patch generalizes the old join/leave domain interface into an
online/offline interface, and adjusts the root-domain/hotplug code to
utilize it.
I was able to easily reproduce the issue prior to this patch, and am no
longer able to reproduce it after this patch. I can offline cpus
indefinately and everything seems to be in working order.

Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm
that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets
queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to
sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3).
>From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right"
thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1
wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it
*should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely
suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that
could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate,
the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is
not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work.
This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this
scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a
task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a
non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We
maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or
exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will
draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when
available.
There are several details for utilizing this properly.
1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority
preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this
non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes
up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it
will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the
current task will find an immediate home.
2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any
requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the
end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system
from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like
SCHED_RR timeslicing.
I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you
concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve
migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that
this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority
anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against
starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a
similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity
environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is
"ok".

In dynamic ftrace, the mcount function starts off pointing to a stub
function that just returns.
On start up, the call to the stub is modified to point to a "record_ip"
function. The job of the record_ip function is to add the function to
a pre-allocated hash list. If the function is already there, it simply is
ignored, otherwise it is added to the list.
Later, a ftraced daemon wakes up and calls kstop_machine if any functions
have been recorded, and changes the calls to the recorded functions to
a simple nop. If no functions were recorded, the daemon goes back to sleep.
The daemon wakes up once a second to see if it needs to update any newly
recorded functions into nops. Usually it does not, but if a lot of code
has been executed for the first time in the kernel, the ftraced daemon
will call kstop_machine to update those into nops.
The problem currently is that there's no way to stop the daemon from doing
this, and it can cause unneeded latencies (800us which for some is bothersome).
This patch adds a new file /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled. If the daemon
is active, reading this will return "enabled\n" and "disabled\n" when the
daemon is not running. To disable the daemon, the user can echo "0" or
"disable" into this file, and "1" or "enable" to re-enable the daemon.
Since the daemon is used to convert the functions into nops to increase
the performance of the system, I also added that anytime something is
written into the ftraced_enabled file, kstop_machine will run if there
are new functions that have been detected that need to be converted.
This way the user can disable the daemon but still be able to control the
conversion of the mcount calls to nops by simply,
"echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled"
when they need to do more conversions.
To see the number of converted functions:

Tracing functions via ftrace which have a kretprobe installed on them, can produce misleading output in their trace logs. E.g, consider the correct trace of the following sequence:
do_IRQ()
{
~
irq_enter();
~
}
Trace log (sample):
<idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- do_IRQ
But if irq_enter() has a kretprobe installed on it, the return value stored on the stack at each invocation is modified to divert the return to a kprobe trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline(). So with this the trace would (currently) look like:
<idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- kretprobe_trampoline
Now this is quite misleading to the end user, as it suggests something that didn't actually happen. So just to avoid such misinterpretations, the inlined patch aims to output such a log as:
<idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- [unknown/kretprobe'd]

Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset(). Its unfortunate, but
true.
Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities. These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().
As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It
1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
legacy value.
2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
implementation of the preferred magic.
3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
that may be using v2 inappropriately.
[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this. libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.
Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.
Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup

Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred

hres_timers_resume() warns if there appears to be more than one cpu
online. This warning makes sense when the suspend/resume mechanism
offlines all cpus but one during the suspend/resume process.
However, Xen suspend does not need to offline the other cpus; it
merely keeps them tied up in stop_machine() while the virtual machine
is suspended. The warning hres_timers_resume issues is therefore
spurious.

While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice
to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter
on functions.
I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called
set_ftrace_notrace
When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will
not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those
functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel.
Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if
set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for
those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those
functions from being traced.
If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up
with an empty trace.
the set of functions to trace is:
set_ftrace_filter == empty then
all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace
else
set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

Printing out new max latencies was fine for the old RT tracer. But for
mainline it is a bit messy. We also need to test if the run queue
is locked before we can do the print. This means that we may not be
printing out latencies if the run queue is locked on another CPU.
This produces inconsistencies in the output.
This patch simply removes the print altogether.

The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems
with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt.
This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to
have problems. The check is made at the flip between the global array and
the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and
the self tests.
This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with
a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.
As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the
pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the
"full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all.
Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list
if it is queued.
This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued
after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value,
and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits
the number of posix timers.

This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api.
The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently
only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named
"node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.)
The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy
cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared -
something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more
complete container/namespace support in order to be useful. I suspect the
only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on
containers@lists.linux-foundation.org. And in fact it would only be
noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is
generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for
the process in question.
Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I
guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather
than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.

another weekend, another patch. This should apply on top of my previous patch
from March 23rd.
Summary of changes:
- Print PCI device list in output header
- work around recursive probe hits on SMP
- refactor dis/arm_kmmio_fault_page() and add check for page levels
- remove un/reference_kmmio(), the die notifier hook is registered
permanently into the list
- explicitly check for single stepping in die notifier callback
I have tested this version on my UP Athlon64 desktop with Nouveau, and
SMP Core 2 Duo laptop with the proprietary nvidia driver. Both systems
are 64-bit. One previously unknown bug crept into daylight: the ftrace
framework's output routines print the first entry last after buffer has
wrapped around.
The most important regressions compared to non-ftrace mmiotrace at this
time are:
- failure of trace_pipe file
- illegal lines in output file
- unaware of losing data due to buffer full
Personally I'd like to see these three solved before submitting to
mainline. Other issues may come up once we know when we lose events.

here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing
framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own
output formatting in place now.
Summary of changes:
- fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset()
- add print_line() callback into struct tracer
- implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text
- add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place
- rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace
- added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP
- made some functions in trace.c non-static
- check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update()
- fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf()
Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected
into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we
have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace'
file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix,
iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe'
file, which means I don't get proper output formatting.
I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that
is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works
perfectly.
I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a
counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no
way of knowning when it overflows?
So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-)
And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space
code that just became obsolete.

Currently there is no protection from the root user to use up all of
memory for trace buffers. If the root user allocates too many entries,
the OOM killer might start kill off all tasks.
This patch adds an algorith to check the following condition:
pages_requested > (freeable_memory + current_trace_buffer_pages) / 4
If the above is met then the allocation fails. The above prevents more
than 1/4th of freeable memory from being used by trace buffers.
To determine the freeable_memory, I made determine_dirtyable_memory in
mm/page-writeback.c global.

Andrew Morton suggested using strict_strtoul over simple_strtoul.
This patch replaces them in ftrace.

With the introduction of ftrace, it is possible to recurse into
the lockdep functions via the mcount call. To prevent possible
lockups, updating the lockdep_recursion counter on grabbing the internal
lockdep_lock should prevent deadlocks.

This patch adds /debug/tracing/trace_entries that allows users to
see as well as modify the number of trace entries the buffers hold.
The number of entries only increments in ENTRIES_PER_PAGE which is
calculated by the size of an entry with the number of entries that
can fit in a page. The user does not need to use an exact size, but
the entries will be rounded to one of the increments.
Trying to set the entries to 0 will return with -EINVAL.
To avoid race conditions, the modification of the buffer size can only
be done when tracing is completely disabled (current_tracer == none).
A info message will be printed if a user tries to modify the buffer size
when not set to none.

The wakeup selftest used an internal API for setting the test task priority.
This patch fixes it to use the proper API for performing such a task.

This patch implements "NONBLOCK" for trace_pipe. If the trace_pipe is opened
with O_NONBLOCK, then the trace_pipe read will not block when buffer is empty.

We expect things like "cat" to block on reads to trace_pipe. That's what
trace_pipe is for.

The conversion of task states to a character in the sched_switch tracer (part
of latency tracer infrastructure), seems to be incorrect. We currently do it
by indexing into the state_to_char array using the state value. The state
values do not map directly into the array index and are thus incorrect. The
following patch addresses this issue. This is also what is being done even
in the show_task() routine in kernel/sched.c
The patch has been compile and run tested.
