This happens\nwhen a module created an event system and then later the module is\nremoved. Modules may share systems, so the system is allocated when\nit is created and freed when the modules are unloaded and all the\nevents under the system are removed (nr_events set to zero).\n\nThe problem arises when a task opened the \"filter\" file for the\nsystem. If the module is unloaded and it removed the last event for\nthat system, the system structure is freed. If the task that opened\nthe filter file accesses the \"filter\" file after the system has\nbeen freed, the system will access an invalid pointer.\n\nBy adding a ref_count, and using it to keep track of what\nis using the event system, we can free it after all users\nare finished with the event system.\n\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nReported-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes.berg@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Steven Rostedt \u003crostedt@goodmis.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "140fe3b1ab9c082182ef13359fab4ddba95c24c3", "tree": "e59debeb1aea1650fd490b0264f66b4f70a26aca", "parents": [ "debf1d4948bccf58fa172acb1a7306792d77705d" ], "author": { "name": "Xiao Guangrong", "email": "xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com", "time": "Tue Jun 21 10:35:55 2011 +0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Steven Rostedt", "email": "rostedt@goodmis.org", "time": "Wed Jun 29 09:59:17 2011 -0400" }, "message": "jump_label: Fix jump_label update for modules\n\nThe jump labels entries for modules do not stop at __stop__jump_table,\nbut after mod-\u003ejump_entries + mod_num_jump_entries.\n\nBy checking the wrong end point, module trace events never get enabled.\n\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nAcked-by: Jason Baron \u003cjbaron@redhat.com\u003e\nTested-by: Avi Kivity \u003cavi@redhat.com\u003e\nTested-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Xiao Guangrong \u003cxiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com\u003e\nLink: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4E00038B.2060404@cn.fujitsu.com\nSigned-off-by: Steven Rostedt \u003crostedt@goodmis.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "8816ead9d8e7c2745788e0684797e1912b504f33", "tree": "2a619a821024d31be2ce6ff422f287792379fe5b", "parents": [ "357ed6b1a110048ff8106f99092d6c4a7aadb45a", "203db2952bc87f5d610c9ad53a7d02b85897721f", "d8ad7d1123a960cc9f276bd499f9325c6f5e1bd1", "b5199515c25cca622495eb9c6a8a1d275e775088", "c1f5c54b57341e872a9d375dccef7257f86033ef" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun Jun 19 09:00:18 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun Jun 19 09:00:18 2011 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branches \u0027perf-urgent-for-linus\u0027, \u0027sched-urgent-for-linus\u0027, \u0027timers-urgent-for-linus\u0027 and \u0027x86-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027perf-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n tools/perf: Fix static build of perf tool\n tracing: Fix regression in printk_formats file\n\n* \u0027sched-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n generic-ipi: Fix kexec boot crash by initializing call_single_queue before enabling interrupts\n\n* \u0027timers-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n clocksource: Make watchdog robust vs. interruption\n timerfd: Fix wakeup of processes when timer is cancelled on clock change\n\n* \u0027x86-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n x86, MAINTAINERS: Add x86 MCE people\n x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas\n" }, { "commit": "357ed6b1a110048ff8106f99092d6c4a7aadb45a", "tree": "ff4eb7e809e547bc3c0680dfd51793a8f57b2063", "parents": [ "de505e709ffb09a7382ca8e0d8c7dbb171ba5830", "f8b7fc6b514f34a51875dd48dff70d4d17a54f38" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun Jun 19 08:56:56 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun Jun 19 08:56:56 2011 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027core-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027core-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n rcu: Move RCU_BOOST #ifdefs to header file\n rcu: use softirq instead of kthreads except when RCU_BOOST\u003dy\n rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression\n rcu: Simplify curing of load woes\n" }, { "commit": "879669961b11e7f40b518784863a259f735a72bf", "tree": "9bff5392e365caf656c9dd9be38f7471c182278c", "parents": [ "eb96c925152fc289311e5d7e956b919e9b60ab53" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Jun 17 11:25:59 2011 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jun 17 09:40:48 2011 -0700" }, "message": "KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyring\n\n____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the\nsubprocess_inf::init() function.

In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded\nperformance by about 40%.\n\nThe commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed\nhigh rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has\n64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second\nwhich is caused by RCU\u0027s per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of\nthe time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn\u0027t actually handle any callbacks,\nbut instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.\nThis means that RCU\u0027s per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite\na bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related\nprocessing to be done.\n\nAlex Shi\u0027s analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock\ncontention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points\nout, the scheduler\u0027s real-time semantics require global action, which\nmeans that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,\nperhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not\ngoing to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around\nthis issue in the meantime. And \"the meantime\" might well be forever.)\n\nThis patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only\nfor core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,\nso that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the\ncommon case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to\nskip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST\u003dy kernels.\n\nSigned-off-by: Shaohua Li \u003cshaohua.li@intel.com\u003e\nTested-by: \"Alex,Shi\" \u003calex.shi@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

This look up currently needs the acquisition of a\nlock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,\nslowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple\ncpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot\nof cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload\nthat has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where\n64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with\n37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:\n\n- 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k]\n_raw_spin_lock_irqsave\n - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave\n - 95.65% pm_qos_request\n menu_select\n cpuidle_idle_call\n - cpu_idle\n 99.98% start_secondary\n\nA better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so\nreading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.\nWith this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a\n2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.\n\ncc: stable@kernel.org\nSigned-off-by: Tim Chen \u003ctim.c.chen@linux.intel.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@linux.intel.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Bottomley \u003cJames.Bottomley@suse.de\u003e\nAcked-by: mark gross \u003cmarkgross@thegnar.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Len Brown \u003clen.brown@intel.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "08a8b79600101fd6e13dcf05409b330e7f5b0478", "tree": "461cf4061eb33d96966c5c348029bc3b5cb523bf", "parents": [ "1ba4b8cb94e59b17fd0142a509eb583695c36db6", "1e1b6c511d1b23cb7c3b619d82fc7bd9f620565d" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat May 28 12:56:46 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat May 28 12:56:46 2011 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027sched-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027sched-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n cpuset: Fix cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback(), don\u0027t update tsk-\u003ert.nr_cpus_allowed\n sched: Fix -\u003emin_vruntime calculation in dequeue_entity()\n sched: Fix ttwu() for __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW\n sched: More sched_domain iterations fixes\n" }, { "commit": "1ba4b8cb94e59b17fd0142a509eb583695c36db6", "tree": "e42d1967025670401758d32964a5fa048f59f10a", "parents": [ "c4a227d89f758e582fd167bb15245f2704de99ef", "cc3ce5176d83cd8ae1134f86e208ea758d6cb78e" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat May 28 12:56:32 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat May 28 12:56:32 2011 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027core-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027core-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:\n rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state\n rcu: Remove waitqueue usage for cpu, node, and boost kthreads\n rcu: Avoid acquiring rcu_node locks in timer functions\n atomic: Add atomic_or()\n Documentation: Add statistics about nested locks\n rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof\n rcu: Make rcu_enter_nohz() pay attention to nesting\n rcu: Don\u0027t do reschedule unless in irq\n rcu: Remove old memory barriers from rcu_process_callbacks()\n rcu: Add memory barriers\n rcu: Fix unpaired rcu_irq_enter() from locking selftests\n" }, { "commit": "c4a227d89f758e582fd167bb15245f2704de99ef", "tree": "f5b6e0091e6543c14d1cd7cf1f93e097a96bbd64", "parents": [ "87367a0b71a5188e34a913c05673b5078f71a64d", "f506b3dc0ec454a16d40cab9ee5d75435b39dc50" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat May 28 12:55:55 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat May 28 12:55:55 2011 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027perf-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027perf-urgent-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (25 commits)\n perf: Fix SIGIO handling\n perf top: Don\u0027t stop if no kernel symtab is found\n perf top: Handle kptr_restrict\n perf top: Remove unused macro\n perf events: initialize fd array to -1 instead of 0\n perf tools: Make sure kptr_restrict warnings fit 80 col terms\n perf tools: Fix build on older systems\n perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict\n perf: Remove duplicate headers\n ftrace: Add internal recursive checks\n tracing: Update btrfs\u0027s tracepoints to use u64 interface\n tracing: Add __print_symbolic_u64 to avoid warnings on 32bit machine\n ftrace: Set ops-\u003eflag to enabled even on static function tracing\n tracing: Have event with function tracer check error return\n ftrace: Have ftrace_startup() return failure code\n jump_label: Check entries limit in __jump_label_update\n ftrace/recordmcount: Avoid STT_FUNC symbols as base on ARM\n scripts/tags.sh: Add magic for trace-events for etags too\n scripts/tags.sh: Fix ctags for DEFINE_EVENT()\n x86/ftrace: Fix compiler warning in ftrace.c\n ...\n" }, { "commit": "cc3ce5176d83cd8ae1134f86e208ea758d6cb78e", "tree": "a28ada4c1e5fd8c3e8210ca1a1df950af8a704ff", "parents": [ "08bca60a6912ad225254250c0a9c3a05b4152cfa" ], "author": { "name": "Paul E.

See below for the reason that\nit is now felt to be safe to re-apply this.)\n\nCommit d09b62d fixed grace-period synchronization, but left some smp_mb()\ninvocations in rcu_process_callbacks() that are no longer needed, but\nsheer paranoia prevented them from being removed. This commit removes\nthem and provides a proof of correctness in their absence. It also adds\na memory barrier to rcu_report_qs_rsp() immediately before the update to\nrsp-\u003ecompleted in order to handle the theoretical possibility that the\ncompiler or CPU might move massive quantities of code into a lock-based\ncritical section. This also proves that the sheer paranoia was not\nentirely unjustified, at least from a theoretical point of view.\n\nIn addition, the old dyntick-idle synchronization depended on the fact\nthat grace periods were many milliseconds in duration, so that it could\nbe assumed that no dyntick-idle CPU could reorder a memory reference\nacross an entire grace period. Unfortunately for this design, the\naddition of expedited grace periods breaks this assumption, which has\nthe unfortunate side-effect of requiring atomic operations in the\nfunctions that track dyntick-idle state for RCU. (There is some hope\nthat the algorithms used in user-level RCU might be applied here, but\nsome work is required to handle the NMIs that user-space applications\ncan happily ignore. For the short term, better safe than sorry.)\n\nThis proof assumes that neither compiler nor CPU will allow a lock\nacquisition and release to be reordered, as doing so can result in\ndeadlock. The proof is as follows:\n\n1.\tA given CPU declares a quiescent state under the protection of\n\tits leaf rcu_node\u0027s lock.\n\n2.\tIf there is more than one level of rcu_node hierarchy, the\n\tlast CPU to declare a quiescent state will also acquire the\n\t-\u003elock of the next rcu_node up in the hierarchy, but only\n\tafter releasing the lower level\u0027s lock. The acquisition of this\n\tlock clearly cannot occur prior to the acquisition of the leaf\n\tnode\u0027s lock.\n\n3.\tStep 2 repeats until we reach the root rcu_node structure.\n\tPlease note again that only one lock is held at a time through\n\tthis process. The acquisition of the root rcu_node\u0027s -\u003elock\n\tmust occur after the release of that of the leaf rcu_node.\n\n4.\tAt this point, we set the -\u003ecompleted field in the rcu_state\n\tstructure in rcu_report_qs_rsp(). However, if the rcu_node\n\thierarchy contains only one rcu_node, then in theory the code\n\tpreceding the quiescent state could leak into the critical\n\tsection. We therefore precede the update of -\u003ecompleted with a\n\tmemory barrier. All CPUs will therefore agree that any updates\n\tpreceding any report of a quiescent state will have happened\n\tbefore the update of -\u003ecompleted.\n\n5.\tRegardless of whether a new grace period is needed, rcu_start_gp()\n\twill propagate the new value of -\u003ecompleted to all of the leaf\n\trcu_node structures, under the protection of each rcu_node\u0027s -\u003elock.\n\tIf a new grace period is needed immediately, this propagation\n\twill occur in the same critical section that -\u003ecompleted was\n\tset in, but courtesy of the memory barrier in #4 above, is still\n\tseen to follow any pre-quiescent-state activity.\n\n6.\tWhen a given CPU invokes __rcu_process_gp_end(), it becomes\n\taware of the end of the old grace period and therefore makes\n\tany RCU callbacks that were waiting on that grace period eligible\n\tfor invocation.\n\n\tIf this CPU is the same one that detected the end of the grace\n\tperiod, and if there is but a single rcu_node in the hierarchy,\n\twe will still be in the single critical section. In this case,\n\tthe memory barrier in step #4 guarantees that all callbacks will\n\tbe seen to execute after each CPU\u0027s quiescent state.\n\n\tOn the other hand, if this is a different CPU, it will acquire\n\tthe leaf rcu_node\u0027s -\u003elock, and will again be serialized after\n\teach CPU\u0027s quiescent state for the old grace period.\n\nOn the strength of this proof, this commit therefore removes the memory\nbarriers from rcu_process_callbacks() and adds one to rcu_report_qs_rsp().\nThe effect is to reduce the number of memory barriers by one and to\nreduce the frequency of execution from about once per scheduling tick\nper CPU to once per grace period.\n\nThis was reverted do to hangs found during testing by Yinghai Lu and\nIngo Molnar. Frederic Weisbecker supplied Yinghai with tracing that\nlocated the underlying problem, and Frederic also provided the fix.\n\nThe underlying problem was that the HARDIRQ_ENTER() macro from\nlib/locking-selftest.c invoked irq_enter(), which in turn invokes\nrcu_irq_enter(), but HARDIRQ_EXIT() invoked __irq_exit(), which\ndoes not invoke rcu_irq_exit(). This situation resulted in calls\nto rcu_irq_enter() that were not balanced by the required calls to\nrcu_irq_exit(). Therefore, after these locking selftests completed,\nRCU\u0027s dyntick-idle nesting count was a large number (for example,\n72), which caused RCU to to conclude that the affected CPU was not in\ndyntick-idle mode when in fact it was.\n\nRCU would therefore incorrectly wait for this dyntick-idle CPU, resulting\nin hangs.\n\nIn contrast, with Frederic\u0027s patch, which replaces the irq_enter()\nin HARDIRQ_ENTER() with an __irq_enter(), these tests don\u0027t ever call\neither rcu_irq_enter() or rcu_irq_exit(), which works because the CPU\nrunning the test is already marked as not being in dyntick-idle mode.\nThis means that the rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() calls and RCU\nthen has no problem working out which CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode and\nwhich are not.\n\nThe reason that the imbalance was not noticed before the barrier patch\nwas applied is that the old implementation of rcu_enter_nohz() ignored\nthe nesting depth. This could still result in delays, but much shorter\nones. Whenever there was a delay, RCU would IPI the CPU with the\nunbalanced nesting level, which would eventually result in rcu_enter_nohz()\nbeing called, which in turn would force RCU to see that the CPU was in\ndyntick-idle mode.\n\nThe reason that very few people noticed the problem is that the mismatched\nirq_enter() vs. __irq_exit() occured only when the kernel was built with\nCONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.
