2011-02-03tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer arraySteven Rostedt
Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall data is processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up. Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

2011-02-03tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer arrayMathieu Desnoyers
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

2011-02-03sched: Add yield_to(task, preempt) functionalityMike Galbraith
Currently only implemented for fair class tasks. Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group, task group. Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the target being selected. We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair share of CPU time. This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really mean it. Calling it too often can result in the scheduler just ignoring the hint.

2011-02-03sched: Use a buddy to implement yield_task_fair()Rik van Riel
Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair. This allows us to skip onto the next highest priority se at every level in the CFS tree, unless doing so would introduce gross unfairness in CPU time distribution. We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check yield first, then last, then next. We need next to be able to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and "yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree of the CFS tree. When they are, we need to go into that sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct entity once we get to the right level.

2011-02-03sched: Limit the scope of clear_buddiesRik van Riel
The clear_buddies function does not seem to play well with the concept of hierarchical runqueues. In the following tree, task groups are represented by 'G', tasks by 'T', next by 'n' and last by 'l'. (nl) / \ G(nl) G / \ \ T(l) T(n) T This situation can arise when a task is woken up T(n), and the previously running task T(l) is marked last. When clear_buddies is called from either T(l) or T(n), the next and last buddies of the group G(nl) will be cleared. This is not the desired result, since we would like to be able to find the other type of buddy in many cases. This especially a worry when implementing yield_task_fair through the buddy system. The fix is simple: only clear the buddy type that the task itself is indicated to be. As an added bonus, we stop walking up the tree when the buddy has already been cleared or pointed elsewhere.

2011-02-03sched: Check the right ->nr_running in yield_task_fair()Rik van Riel
With CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, each task_group has its own cfs_rq. Yielding to a task from another cfs_rq may be worthwhile, since a process calling yield typically cannot use the CPU right now.

2011-02-02posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocksRichard Cochran
This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver may optionally implement custom character device operations. The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks. The following system calls are affected: - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall) - clock_gettime - clock_getres - clock_settime - timer_create - timer_delete - timer_gettime - timer_settime [ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup.

2011-02-01security: remove unused security_sysctl hookLucian Adrian Grijincu
The only user for this hook was selinux. sysctl routes every call through /proc/sys/. Selinux and other security modules use the file system checks for sysctl too, so no need for this hook any more.

2011-02-01time: Fix legacy arch falloutThomas Gleixner
The xtime/dotimer cleanup broke architectures which do not implement clockevents. Time to send out another __do_IRQ threat.

2011-01-31time: Make do_timer() and xtime_lock local to kernel/time/Torben Hohn
All callers of do_timer() are converted to xtime_update(). The only users of xtime_lock are in kernel/time/. Make both local to kernel/time/ and remove them from the global header files.
