This may lead to\n unexpected failure of WNOHANG waits.\n\n This reorganization addresses this single race case but there are\n other cases - TASK_RUNNING -\u003e TASK_STOPPED transition and EXIT_*\n transitions.\n\n* Scheduled ptrace updates require changes to the initial test which\n would fit better inside wait_task_stopped().\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nReviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "bf26c018490c2fce7fe9b629083b96ce0e6ad019", "tree": "ff595f6268cb6fc675beb6accf6abb0701829443", "parents": [ "f4929bd37208540c2c6f416e9035ff1938f2dbc6" ], "author": { "name": "Frederic Weisbecker", "email": "fweisbec@gmail.com", "time": "Thu Apr 07 16:53:20 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Frederic Weisbecker", "email": "fweisbec@gmail.com", "time": "Mon Apr 25 17:28:24 2011 +0200" }, "message": "ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints\n\nWhen a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer\nmay execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and\nget its task struct.

This utterly breaks job control when\nthe children are ptraced.\n\nFor example, if a program is run from an interactive shell and then\nstrace(1) attaches to it, pressing ^Z would send SIGTSTP and strace(1)\nwould notice it but the shell has no way to tell whether the child\nentered job control stop and thus can\u0027t tell when to take over the\nterminal - leading to awkward lone ^Z on the terminal.\n\nBecause the job control and ptrace stopped states are independent,\nthere is no reason to prevent real parents from accessing the stopped\nstate regardless of ptrace. The continued state isn\u0027t separate but\nptracers don\u0027t have any use for them as ptracees can never resume\nwithout explicit command from their ptracers, so as long as ptracers\ndon\u0027t consume it, it should be fine.\n\nAlthough this is a behavior change, because the previous behavior is\nutterly broken when viewed from real parents and the change is only\nvisible to real parents, I don\u0027t think it\u0027s necessary to make this\nbehavior optional.\n\nOne situation to be careful about is when a task from the real\nparent\u0027s group is ptracing. The parent group is the recipient of both\nptrace and job control stop events and one stop can be reported as\nboth job control and ptrace stops. As this can break the current\nptrace users, suppress job control stopped events for these cases.\n\nIf a real parent ptracer wants to know about both job control and\nptrace stops, it can create a separate process to serve the role of\nreal parent.\n\nNote that this only updates wait(2) side of things. The real parent\ncan access the states via wait(2) but still is not properly notified\n(woken up and delivered signal). Test case polls wait(2) with WNOHANG\nto work around.

thread_group_times()\n\nThis is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing\ndescribed in the thread:\n\n http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522\n\nNow cputime is accounted in the following way:\n\n - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread\n is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).\n\n - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal-\u003e{u,s}time,\n after adjusted by task_times().\n\n - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time\n (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time\n in signal struct of the group\u0027s parent.\n\nSo {u,s}time in task struct are \"raw\" tick count, while\n{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are \"adjusted\" values.\n\nAnd accounted values are used by:\n\n - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:\n This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw\n {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.\n\n - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:\n This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in\n the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of\n adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.\n\nThe problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),\nbecause it is mixed sum of \"raw\" value and \"adjusted\" value:\n\n group\u0027s {u,s}time \u003d foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)\n\nThis misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.\nAssume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater\nthan adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times\nbut only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.\n-5ms).\n\nTo fix this, we could do:\n\n group\u0027s {u,s}time \u003d foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)\n\nBut task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for\nevery thread should be avoided.\n\nThis patch fixes the above problem in the following way:\n\n - Modify thread\u0027s exit (\u003d __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().\n It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead\n of adjusted values. As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()\n to return pure sum of \"raw\" values.\n\n - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)\n that converts \"raw\" values of thread_group_cputime() to \"adjusted\"\n values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().\n\n - Modify group\u0027s exit (\u003d wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced\n thread_group_times(). It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to\n have adjusted values like before this patch.\n\n - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().\n This replacements are only applied where conveys the \"adjusted\"\n cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.\n (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/\u003cPID\u003e/stat.)\n\nThis patch have a positive side effect:\n\n - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads\n (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group\u0027s\n cputime could be invisible since thread\u0027s cputime was accumulated\n after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),\n {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} \u003d {0 + 0 + ....} \u003d 0.\n After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is\n applied after accumulated.\n\nv2:\n - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto \u003cseto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003cpeterz@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Spencer Candland \u003cspencer@bluehost.com\u003e\nCc: Americo Wang \u003cxiyou.wangcong@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Stanislaw Gruszka \u003csgruszka@redhat.com\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c4B162517.8040909@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d5b7c78e975302a1bab28263266c39ecb71acad4", "tree": "47d9a18b2e81b3f93faf89b548b50beff29dd4fe", "parents": [ "d180c5bccec02612256fd8076ff3c1fac3429553" ], "author": { "name": "Hidetoshi Seto", "email": "seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com", "time": "Thu Nov 26 14:49:05 2009 +0900" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Nov 26 12:59:20 2009 +0100" }, "message": "sched: Remove task_{u,s,g}time()\n\nNow all task_{u,s}time() pairs are replaced by task_times().\nAnd task_gtime() is too simple to be an inline function.\n\nCleanup them all.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto \u003cseto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003cpeterz@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Stanislaw Gruszka \u003csgruszka@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Spencer Candland \u003cspencer@bluehost.com\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Americo Wang \u003cxiyou.wangcong@gmail.com\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c4B0E16D1.70902@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d180c5bccec02612256fd8076ff3c1fac3429553", "tree": "1ef4a45c81531645640380965916c68bbe7f6abb", "parents": [ "16bc67edeb49b531940b2ba6c183780a1b5c472d" ], "author": { "name": "Hidetoshi Seto", "email": "seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com", "time": "Thu Nov 26 14:48:30 2009 +0900" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Nov 26 12:59:19 2009 +0100" }, "message": "sched: Introduce task_times() to replace task_{u,s}time() pair\n\nFunctions task_{u,s}time() are called in pair in almost all\ncases.

These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill\n-\u003eru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm\nstruct exists.\n\nNote:\nexec() clear mm-\u003ehiwater_rss, but doesn\u0027t clear sig-\u003emaxrss.\nit is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting.\n\ntest programs\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\ngetrusage.c\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n #include \u003cstdio.h\u003e\n #include \u003cstdlib.h\u003e\n #include \u003cstring.h\u003e\n #include \u003csys/types.h\u003e\n #include \u003csys/time.h\u003e\n #include \u003csys/resource.h\u003e\n #include \u003csys/types.h\u003e\n #include \u003csys/wait.h\u003e\n #include \u003cunistd.h\u003e\n #include \u003csignal.h\u003e\n #include \u003csys/mman.h\u003e\n\n #include \"common.h\"\n\n #define err(str) perror(str), exit(1)\n\nint main(int argc, char** argv)\n{\n\tint status;\n\n\tprintf(\"allocate 100MB\\n\");\n\tconsume(100);\n\n\tprintf(\"testcase1: fork inherit? \\n\");\n\tprintf(\" expect: initial.self ~\u003d child.self\\n\");\n\tshow_rusage(\"initial\");\n\tif (__fork()) {\n\t\twait(\u0026status);\n\t} else {\n\t\tshow_rusage(\"fork child\");\n\t\t_exit(0);\n\t}\n\tprintf(\"\\n\");\n\n\tprintf(\"testcase2: fork inherit?

With pending\ncode like hw-breakpoints support the \u0027counter\u0027 name is less and\nless appropriate.\n\nAll in one, we\u0027ve decided to rename the subsystem to \u0027performance\nevents\u0027 and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables\nand API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)\n\nThe word \u0027event\u0027 is also a bit shorter than \u0027counter\u0027 - which makes\nit slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.\n\nThanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and\nsuggested a rename.\n\nUser-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch\nshould be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to\nkeep the size down.)\n\nThis patch has been generated via the following script:\n\n FILES\u003d$(find * -type f | grep -vE \u0027oprofile|[^K]config\u0027)\n\n sed -i \\\n -e \u0027s/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/perf_counter/perf_event/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/nb_counters/nb_events/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/swcounter/swevent/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g\u0027 \\\n $FILES\n\n for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do\n M\u003d$(echo $N | sed \u0027s/perf_counter/perf_event/g\u0027)\n mv $N $M\n done\n\n FILES\u003d$(find . -name perf_event.*)\n\n sed -i \\\n -e \u0027s/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/COUNTER/EVENT/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/\\\u003cevent\\\u003e/event_id/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/counter/event/g\u0027 \\\n -e \u0027s/Counter/Event/g\u0027 \\\n $FILES\n\n... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be\nused by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts\na Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this\nchange to the point in time where the amount of pending patches\nis the smallest: the end of the merge window.\n\nNamespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some\nstylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.\n\n( NOTE: \u0027counters\u0027 are still the proper terminology when we deal\n with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit\n over-eager in renaming them.
