2012-07-17tracing: Fix initialization failure path in tracing_set_tracer()Anton Vorontsov
If tracer->init() fails, current code will leave current_tracer pointing to an unusable tracer, which at best makes 'current_tracer' report inaccurate value. Fix the issue by pointing current_tracer to nop tracer, and only update current_tracer with the new one after all the initialization succeeds.

2012-07-16kmsg - do not flush partial lines when the console is busyKay Sievers
Fragments of continuation lines are flushed to the console immediately. In case the console is locked, the fragment must be queued up in the cont buffer. If the the console is busy and the continuation line is complete, but no part of it was written to the console up to this point, we can just store the entire line as a regular record and free the buffer earlier. If the console is busy and earlier messages are already queued up, we should not flush the fragments of continuation lines, but store them after the queued up messages, to ensure the proper ordering. This keeps the console output better readable in case printk()s race against each other, or we receive over-long continuation lines we need to flush.

2012-07-16timekeeping: Add missing update call in timekeeping_resume()Thomas Gleixner
The leap second rework unearthed another issue of inconsistent data. On timekeeping_resume() the timekeeper data is updated, but nothing calls timekeeping_update(), so now the update code in the timer interrupt sees stale values. This has been the case before those changes, but then the timer interrupt was using stale data as well so this went unnoticed for quite some time. Add the missing update call, so all the data is consistent everywhere. Reported-by: Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> Reported-and-tested-by: "Rafael J.

2012-07-15time: Rework timekeeping functions to take timekeeper ptr as argumentJohn Stultz
As part of cleaning up the timekeeping code, this patch converts a number of internal functions to takei a timekeeper ptr as an argument, so that the internal functions don't access the global timekeeper structure directly. This allows for further optimizations to reduce lock hold time later. This patch has been updated to include more consistent usage of the timekeeper value, by making sure it is always passed as a argument to non top-level functions.

2012-07-15time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_secJohn Stultz
The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full nsec portion out and back in over and over. This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion (stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds). This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.

In commit 6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d, I introduced a bug that kept the STA_INS or STA_DEL bit from being cleared from time_status via adjtimex() without forcing STA_PLL first. Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS was set.

2012-07-13workqueue: reimplement WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_poolTejun Heo
WQ_HIGHPRI was implemented by queueing highpri work items at the head of the global worklist. Other than queueing at the head, they weren't handled differently; unfortunately, this could lead to execution latency of a few seconds on heavily loaded systems. Now that workqueue code has been updated to deal with multiple worker_pools per global_cwq, this patch reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool. NR_WORKER_POOLS is bumped to two and gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for highpri. Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in their names. Note that this change increases the number of kworkers per cpu. POOL_HIGHPRI_PENDING, pool_determine_ins_pos() and highpri chain wakeup code in process_one_work() are no longer used and removed. This allows proper prioritization of highpri work items and removes high execution latency of highpri work items. v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed. v3: Refreshed for the get_pool_nr_running() update in the previous patch.

2012-07-11hrtimer: Update hrtimer base offsets each hrtimer_interruptJohn Stultz
The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region as smp function calls are not allowed there. clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday() or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second. In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set() issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will see the new time but operate on stale offsets. So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a consistent state of time and offsets. ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt() to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt(). The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just adds two store operations. This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

2012-07-11timekeeping: Maintain ktime_t based offsets for hrtimersThomas Gleixner
We need to update the hrtimer clock offsets from the hrtimer interrupt context. To avoid conversions from timespec to ktime_t maintain a ktime_t based representation of those offsets in the timekeeper. This puts the conversion overhead into the code which updates the underlying offsets and provides fast accessible values in the hrtimer interrupt.

2012-07-11timekeeping: Fix leapsecond triggered load spike issueJohn Stultz
The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data stays forever and timers are expired either early or late. The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures. See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard interrupt context.

2012-07-11hrtimer: Provide clock_was_set_delayed()John Stultz
clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because it calls on_each_cpu(). For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which does the timekeeping updates. Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

2012-07-07cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount raceTejun Heo
48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means that cgroup dentries may linger for a while. Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code. As each cgroup dentry holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of superblock. Unfortunately, after 48ddbe1946, there's a small window while releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy. When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput(). This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but superblock's s_active is. If umount happens before or during this window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger BUG(). Before 48ddbe1946, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2) invocation which holds s_active around the whole process. Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe1946 and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the final cgroup dput().

2012-07-06kmsg: properly handle concurrent non-blocking read() from /proc/kmsgKay Sievers
The /proc/kmsg read() interface is internally simply wired up to a sequence of syslog() syscalls, which might are racy between their checks and actions, regarding concurrency. In the (very uncommon) case of concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, relying on usual O_NONBLOCK behavior, the recently introduced mutex might block an O_NONBLOCK reader in read(), when poll() returns for it, but another process has already read the data in the meantime. We've seen that while running artificial test setups and tools that "fight" about /proc/kmsg data. This restores the original /proc/kmsg behavior, where in case of concurrent read()s, poll() might wake up but the read() syscall will just return 0 to the caller, while another process has "stolen" the data. This is in the general case not the expected behavior, but it is the exact same one, that can easily be triggered with a 3.4 kernel, and some tools might just rely on it. The mutex is not needed, the original integrity issue which introduced it, is in the meantime covered by: "fill buffer with more than a single message for SYSLOG_ACTION_READ" 116e90b23f74d303e8d607c7a7d54f60f14ab9f2 Cc: Yuanhan Liu <yuanhan.liu@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
