2010-03-10perf: Optimize perf_disablePeter Zijlstra
Currently we always call hw_perf_disable(), even if its already disabled, this seems superflous, esp. since it cannot be made NMI safe (see further patches).

2010-03-10perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooksPeter Zijlstra
Remove the hw_perf_event_*() hotplug hooks in favour of per PMU hotplug notifiers. This has the advantage of reducing the static weak interface as well as exposing all hotplug actions to the PMU. Use this to fix x86 hotplug usage where we did things in ONLINE which should have been done in UP_PREPARE or STARTING.

2010-03-10perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initializationPeter Zijlstra
This makes it easier to extend perf_sample_data and fixes a bug on arm and sparc, which failed to set ->raw to NULL, which can cause crashes when combined with PERF_SAMPLE_RAW. It also optimizes PowerPC and tracepoint, because the struct initialization is forced to zero out the whole structure.

2010-03-07sysdev: Pass attribute in sysdev_class attributes show/storeAndi Kleen
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring an own function for every piece of data. Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields and use that in the low level function. Similar to sysdev_attributes and normal attributes. This is a tree-wide sweep, converting everything in one go. No functional changes in this patch other than passing the new argument everywhere. Tested on x86, the non x86 parts are uncompiled.

2010-03-06elf coredump: add extended numbering supportDaisuke HATAYAMA
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate correct coredumps. This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent upto 4294967295 vmas. This is supported by AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/). Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

tasklist_lock does protect the task and its pid, it can't go away. The problem is that find_pid_ns() itself is unsafe without rcu lock, it can race with copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid). Protecting copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid) with tasklist_lock would make it possible to call find_task_by_pid_ns() under tasklist safely, but we don't do so because we are trying to get rid of the read_lock sites of tasklist_lock.

2010-03-06panic: fix panic_timeout accuracy when running on a hypervisorAnton Blanchard
I've had some complaints about panic_timeout being wildly innacurate on shared processor PowerPC partitions (a 3 minute panic_timeout taking 30 minutes). The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer. I expect other platforms with shared processor hypervisors will see the same issue. This patch keeps the old behaviour if we have a panic_blink (only keyboard LEDs right now) and does 1 second mdelays if we don't.

There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the underlying devices being suspended. Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.

2010-03-06mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issueRik van Riel
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

2010-03-06mm: avoid false sharing of mm_counterKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path. This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at events. Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault. Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls. rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows [before] 4.5 cache-miss/faults [after] 4.0 cache-miss/faults Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

2010-03-03Prioritize synchronous signals over 'normal' signalsLinus Torvalds
This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to use by [t]kill(). This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the signal stack. Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV or SIGBUS in the first place. This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit preferences of SIGSEGV and friends. See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395 for some of the discussion. But in the meantime this is a simple and fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole if (x & Y) x &= Y; thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions: movq %rdx, %rax andl $Y, %eax cmovne %rax, %rdx so it is at least a simple solution to a subtle issue.

2010-03-01early_res: Need to save the allocation name in drop_range_partial()Yinghai Lu
During free_early_partial(), reserve_early_without_check() could end extending the early_res area from __check_and_double_early_res(); as a result, the location of the name for the current reservation could change. Therefore, we need to save a local copy of the name.

2010-03-01resource: Fix generic page_is_ram() for partial RAM pagesWu Fengguang
The System RAM walk shall skip partial RAM pages and avoid calling func() on them. So that page_is_ram() return 0 for a partial RAM page. In particular, it shall not call func() with len=0. This fixes a boot time bug reported by Sachin and root caused by Thomas: > >>> WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:111 __ioremap_caller+0x169/0x2f1() > >>> Hardware name: BladeCenter LS21 -[79716AA]- > >>> Modules linked in: > >>> Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.33-git6-autotest #1 > >>> Call Trace: > >>> [<ffffffff81047cff>] ? __ioremap_caller+0x169/0x2f1 > >>> [<ffffffff81063b7d>] warn_slowpath_common+0x77/0xa4 > >>> [<ffffffff81063bb9>] warn_slowpath_null+0xf/0x11 > >>> [<ffffffff81047cff>] __ioremap_caller+0x169/0x2f1 > >>> [<ffffffff813747a3>] ? acpi_os_map_memory+0x12/0x1b > >>> [<ffffffff81047f10>] ioremap_nocache+0x12/0x14 > >>> [<ffffffff813747a3>] acpi_os_map_memory+0x12/0x1b > >>> [<ffffffff81282fa0>] acpi_tb_verify_table+0x29/0x5b > >>> [<ffffffff812827f0>] acpi_load_tables+0x39/0x15a > >>> [<ffffffff8191c8f8>] acpi_early_init+0x60/0xf5 > >>> [<ffffffff818f2cad>] start_kernel+0x397/0x3a7 > >>> [<ffffffff818f2295>] x86_64_start_reservations+0xa5/0xa9 > >>> [<ffffffff818f237a>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xe1/0xe8 > >>> ---[ end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da22 ]--- > >>> ioremap reserve_memtype failed -22 The return code is -EINVAL, so it failed in the is_ram check, which is not too surprising > BIOS-provided physical RAM map: > BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009c000 (usable) > BIOS-e820: 000000000009c000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) > BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) > BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000cffa3900 (usable) > BIOS-e820: 00000000cffa3900 - 00000000cffa7400 (ACPI data) The ACPI data is not starting on a page boundary and neither does the usable RAM area end on a page boundary. Very useful ! > ACPI: DSDT 00000000cffa3900 036CE (v01 IBM SERLEWIS 00001000 INTL 20060912) ACPI is trying to map DSDT at cffa3900, which results in a check vs. cffa3000 which is the relevant page boundary. The generic is_ram check correctly identifies that as RAM because it's in the usable resource area. The old e820 based is_ram check does not take overlapping resource areas into account. That's why it works.
