720eba31f4 modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting
Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
using a lot of memory.

Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.

This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.

Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.

On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)

Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each  CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.

a571bbeafb sched: fix buddie group latency
Similar to the previous patch, by not clearing buddies we can select entities
past their run quota, which can increase latency. This means we have to clear
group buddies as well.

Do not use the group clear for pick_next_task(), otherwise that'll get O(n^2).

a9f3e2b549 sched: clear buddies more aggressively
It was noticed that a task could get re-elected past its run quota due to buddy
affinities. This could increase latency a little. Cure it by more aggresively
clearing buddy state.

We do so in two situations:
 - when we force preempt
 - when we select a buddy to run

d942fb6c7d sched: fix sync wakeups
Pawel Dziekonski reported that the openssl benchmark and his
quantum chemistry application both show slowdowns due to the
scheduler under-parallelizing execution.

The reason are pipe wakeups still doing 'sync' wakeups which
overrides the normal buddy wakeup logic - even if waker and
wakee are loosely coupled.

Fix an inversion of logic in the buddy wakeup code.

b0a9b5111a hrtimer: prevent negative expiry value after clock_was_set()
Impact: prevent false positive WARN_ON() in clockevents_program_event()

clock_was_set() changes the base->offset of CLOCK_REALTIME and
enforces the reprogramming of the clockevent device to expire timers
which are based on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the clock change is large enough
then the subtraction of the timer expiry value and base->offset can
become negative which triggers the warning in
clockevents_program_event().

Check the subtraction result and set a negative value to 0.

94df7de028 hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus
Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox

On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.

This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
for the dying cpu to be dead.

This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

7f22391cbe hrtimers: increase clock min delta threshold while interrupt hanging
Impact: avoid timer IRQ hanging slow systems

While using the function graph tracer on a virtualized system, the
hrtimer_interrupt can hang the system on an infinite loop.

This can be caused in several situations:

 - the hardware is very slow and HZ is set too high

 - something intrusive is slowing the system down (tracing under emulation)

... and the next clock events to program are always before the current time.

This patch implements a reasonable compromise: if such a situation is
detected, we share the CPUs time in 1/4 to process the hrtimer interrupts.
This is enough to let the system running without serious starvation.

It has been successfully tested under VirtualBox with 1000 HZ and 100 HZ
with function graph tracer launched. On both cases, the clock events were
increased until about 25 ms periodic ticks, which means 40 HZ.

So we change a hard to debug hang into a warning message and a system that
still manages to limp along.

d7240b9880 generic-ipi: use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls
The smp_call_function can be passed a wait parameter telling it to
wait for all the functions running on other CPUs to complete before
returning, or to return without waiting. Unfortunately, this is
currently just a suggestion and not manditory. That is, the
smp_call_function can decide not to return and wait instead.

The reason for this is because it uses kmalloc to allocate storage
to send to the called CPU and that CPU will free it when it is done.
But if we fail to allocate the storage, the stack is used instead.
This means we must wait for the called CPU to finish before
continuing.

Unfortunatly, some callers do no abide by this hint and act as if
the non-wait option is mandatory. The MTRR code for instance will
deadlock if the smp_call_function is set to wait. This is because
the smp_call_function will wait for the other CPUs to finish their
called functions, but those functions are waiting on the caller to
continue.

This patch changes the generic smp_call_function code to use per cpu
variables if the allocation of the data fails for a single CPU call. The
smp_call_function_many will fall back to the smp_call_function_single
if it fails its alloc. The smp_call_function_single is modified
to not force the wait state.

Since we now are using a single data per cpu we must synchronize the
callers to prevent a second caller modifying the data before the
first called IPI functions complete. To do so, I added a flag to
the call_single_data called CSD_FLAG_LOCK. When the single CPU is
called (which can be called when a many call fails an alloc), we
set the LOCK bit on this per cpu data. When the caller finishes
it clears the LOCK bit.

The caller must wait till the LOCK bit is cleared before setting
it. When it is cleared, there is no IPI function using it.

Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing

This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the
irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer.

Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency
tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and
it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there
is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused
myself.

I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that
after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show
KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because
I did not capture the trace.

Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when
it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a
developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of
the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears.

ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not
add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason
it should be at KERN_INFO.

when "if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, next_page == reader_page))", ring_buffer

we need reset struct buffer_page.write.

when "if (unlikely(next_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page))", ring_buffer
is still available, we should not corrupt it.

00f57f545a tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix a regression while suspend to disk
Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore

When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.

The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).

So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.

This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

0609697eab dma-coherent: Restore dma_alloc_from_coherent() large alloc fall back policy.
When doing large allocations (larger than the per-device coherent area)
the generic memory allocators are silently fallen back on regardless of
consideration for the per-device constraints.

In the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE case falling back on generic memory is not
an option, as it tends not to be addressable by the DMA hardware in
question. This issue showed up with the 8139too breakage on the
Dreamcast, where non-addressable buffers were silently allocated due to
the size mismatch calculation -- while it should have simply errored out
upon being unable to satisfy the allocation with the given device
constraints.

This restores fall back behaviour to what it was before the oversized
request change caused multiple regressions.

cdf57cab27 dma-coherent: per-device coherent area is in pages, not bytes.
Commit 58c6d3dfe4 ("dma-coherent: catch
oversized requests to dma_alloc_from_coherent()") attempted to add a
sanity check to bail out on allocations larger than the coherent area.

Unfortunately when this was implemented, the fact the coherent area
is tracked in pages rather than bytes was overlooked, which subsequently
broke every single dma_alloc_from_coherent() user, forcing the allocation
silently through generic memory instead.

082605de5f ring-buffer: fix alignment problem
Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer

Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic.
If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take
place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error.

Each page in the ring buffer has a small header:

struct buffer_data_page {
	u64		time_stamp;
	local_t		commit;
	unsigned char	data[];
};

Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page)
to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs,
where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal
offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits
are never processed.

This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof.

This has caused more problems than it solved, with a pile of cpu

Followup patches will get_online_cpus() in callers that need it, but
if they don't do it they're no worse than before when they were using

f90d4118ba cpuset: fix possible deadlock in async_rebuild_sched_domains
Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
 (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8

but task is already holding lock:
 (cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29

which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------

Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks

This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
	-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock

But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
	-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work

This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.

Add a debug check to test this theory. If it triggers then it
triggers because the resume code calls it with irqs enabled,
which is a no-no not just for timekeeping_resume(), but also
bad for a number of other resume handlers.
