We occasionally get reports of these BUGs being hit, and the
stack trace doesn't necessarily always tell us what we need to
know about why we are hitting those limits.
If users start attaching /proc/lock_stats to reports we may have
more of a clue what's going on.

Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the
system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer
gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot
cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which
fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler
is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due
to highres mode not being active.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333
There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET
code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event
handler == NULL for a similar reason.
We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the
previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in
tick_setup_new_device().
The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(),
but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent
clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix
it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

Remove the dependency on (TREE_RCU || TREE_PREEMPT_RCU). The full
dynticks option already depends on SMP which implies
(whatever flavour of) RCU tree config anyway.

Commit 88b8dac0 makes load_balance() consider other cpus in its
group. But, in that, there is no code for preventing to
re-select dst-cpu. So, same dst-cpu can be selected over and
over.
This patch add functionality to load_balance() in order to
exclude cpu which is selected once. We prevent to re-select
dst_cpu via env's cpus, so now, env's cpus is a candidate not
only for src_cpus, but also dst_cpus.
With this patch, we can remove lb_iterations and
max_lb_iterations, because we decide whether we can go ahead or
not via env's cpus.

Currently, LBF_ALL_PINNED is cleared after affinity check is
passed. So, if task migration is skipped by small load value or
small imbalance value in move_tasks(), we don't clear
LBF_ALL_PINNED. At last, we trigger 'redo' in load_balance().
Imbalance value is often so small that any tasks cannot be moved
to other cpus and, of course, this situation may be continued
after we change the target cpu. So this patch move up affinity
check code and clear LBF_ALL_PINNED before evaluating load value
in order to mitigate useless redoing overhead.
In addition, re-order some comments correctly.

Commit 88b8dac0 makes load_balance() consider other cpus in its
group, regardless of idle type. When we do NEWLY_IDLE balancing,
we should not consider it, because a motivation of NEWLY_IDLE
balancing is to turn this cpu to non idle state if needed. This
is not the case of other cpus. So, change code not to consider
other cpus for NEWLY_IDLE balancing.
With this patch, assign 'if (pulled_task) this_rq->idle_stamp =
0' in idle_balance() is corrected, because NEWLY_IDLE balancing
doesn't consider other cpus. Assigning to 'this_rq->idle_stamp'
is now valid.

It makes testing and implementation much easier as we
know in advance that all CPUs are RCU nocbs.
Also this prepares to remove the dynamic check for
nohz_full= boot mask to be a subset of rcu_nocbs=
Eventually this should also help removing the requirement
for the boot CPU to be outside the full dynticks range.

When a task is scheduled in, it may have some properties
of its own that could make the CPU reconsider the need for
the tick: posix cpu timers, perf events, ...
So notify the full dynticks subsystem when a task gets
scheduled in and re-check the tick dependency at this
stage. This is done through a self IPI to avoid messing
up with any current lock scenario.

Interrupt exit is a natural place to stop the tick: it happens
after all events happening before and during the irq which
are liable to update the dependency on the tick occured. Also
it makes sure that any check on tick dependency is well ordered
against dynticks kick IPIs.
Bring in the infrastructure that performs the tick dependency
checks on irq exit and shut it down if these checks show that we
can do it safely.

Implement the full dynticks kick that is performed from
IPIs sent by various subsystems (scheduler, posix timers, ...)
when they want to notify about a new event that may
reconsider the dependency on the tick.
Most of the time, such an event end up restarting the tick.
(Part of the design with subsystems providing *_can_stop_tick()
helpers suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago).

The scheduler IPI is used by the scheduler to kick
full dynticks CPUs asynchronously when more than one
task are running or when a new timer list timer is
enqueued. This way the destination CPU can decide
to restart the tick to handle this new situation.
Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI.
(Reusing the scheduler IPI rather than implementing
a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago)

Kick the tick on full dynticks CPUs when they get more
than one task running on their queue. This makes sure that
local fairness is maintained by the tick on the destination.
This is done regardless of these tasks' class. We should
be able to be more clever in the future depending on these. eg:
a CPU that runs a SCHED_FIFO task doesn't need to maintain
fairness against local pending tasks of the fair class.
But keep things simple for now.

The test that checks if a CPU can stop its tick from posix CPU
timers angle was mistakenly inverted.
What we want is to prevent the tick from being stopped as long
as the current CPU's task runs a posix CPU timer.

The current update of the rq's load can be erroneous when RT
tasks are involved.
The update of the load of a rq that becomes idle, is done only
if the avg_idle is less than sysctl_sched_migration_cost. If RT
tasks and short idle duration alternate, the runnable_avg will
not be updated correctly and the time will be accounted as idle
time when a CFS task wakes up.
A new idle_enter function is called when the next task is the
idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as run time
in the load of the rq, whatever the average idle time is. The
function update_rq_runnable_avg is removed from idle_balance.
When a RT task is scheduled on an idle CPU, the update of the
rq's load is not done when the rq exit idle state because CFS's
functions are not called. Then, the idle_balance, which is
called just before entering the idle function, updates the rq's
load and makes the assumption that the elapsed time since the
last update, was only running time.
As a consequence, the rq's load of a CPU that only runs a
periodic RT task, is close to LOAD_AVG_MAX whatever the running
duration of the RT task is.
A new idle_exit function is called when the prev task is the
idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as idle time
in the rq's load.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
"The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This
is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
in many places.)
After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it
changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
interfaces."
I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

Somehow tracepoint_entry_add_probe() function allows a null probe function.
And, this may lead to unexpected results since the number of probe
functions in an entry can be counted by checking whether a probe is null
or not in the for-loop.
This patch prevents a null probe from being added.
In tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function, checking probe parameter
within the for-loop is moved out for code efficiency, leaving the null probe
feature which removes all probe functions in the entry.

Kick the full dynticks CPUs when a posix cpu timer is enqueued by
way of a standard call to posix_cpu_timer_set() or set_process_cpu_timer().
This also include rescheduled firing timers.
This way they can re-evaluate the state of (and possibly restart) their

Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part
of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.
This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option
if passed by the user.
This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range
of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.

We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so
that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU
callbacks.
Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot
parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs=
The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked
early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity
to stop its tick.

The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.
Given that it happens before we know the initial online
set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.
To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
on kernel parameter parsing time.
We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
low power CPUs.
But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

Linus suggested that probably all the supported architectures can
allow a negative mutex count without incorrect behavior, so we can
then back out the architecture specific change and allow the
mutex count to go to any negative number. That should further
reduce contention for non-x86 architecture.

The current mutex spinning code (with MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option
turned on) allow multiple tasks to spin on a single mutex
concurrently. A potential problem with the current approach is
that when the mutex becomes available, all the spinning tasks
will try to acquire the mutex more or less simultaneously. As a
result, there will be a lot of cacheline bouncing especially on
systems with a large number of CPUs.
This patch tries to reduce this kind of contention by putting
the mutex spinners into a queue so that only the first one in
the queue will try to acquire the mutex. This will reduce
contention and allow all the tasks to move forward faster.
The queuing of mutex spinners is done using an MCS lock based
implementation which will further reduce contention on the mutex
cacheline than a similar ticket spinlock based implementation.
This patch will add a new field into the mutex data structure
for holding the MCS lock. This expands the mutex size by 8 bytes
for 64-bit system and 4 bytes for 32-bit system. This overhead
will be avoid if the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option is turned off.
The following table shows the jobs per minute (JPM) scalability
data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The
numactl command is used to restrict the running of the fserver
workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading off.

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.
So they are not that interesting.
The fserver workload uses mutex spinning extensively. With just
the mutex change in the first patch, there is no noticeable
change in performance. Rather, there is a slight drop in
performance. This mutex spinning patch more than recovers the
lost performance and show a significant increase of +30% at high
user load with the full 8 nodes. Similar improvements were also
seen in a 3.8 kernel.
The table below shows the %time spent by different kernel
functions as reported by perf when running the fserver workload
at 1500 users with all 8 nodes.
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
| Function | % time | % time | % time |
| | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 |
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
| __read_lock_failed | 34.96% | 34.91% | 29.14% |
| __write_lock_failed | 10.14% | 10.68% | 7.51% |
| mutex_spin_on_owner | 3.62% | 3.42% | 2.33% |
| mspin_lock | N/A | N/A | 9.90% |
| __mutex_lock_slowpath | 1.46% | 0.81% | 0.14% |
| _raw_spin_lock | 2.25% | 2.50% | 1.10% |
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
The fserver workload for an 8-node system is dominated by the
contention in the read/write lock. Mutex contention also plays a
role. With the first patch only, mutex contention is down (as
shown by the __mutex_lock_slowpath figure) which help a little
bit. We saw only a few percents improvement with that.
By applying patch 2 as well, the single mutex_spin_on_owner
figure is now split out into an additional mspin_lock figure.
The time increases from 3.42% to 11.23%. It shows a great
reduction in contention among the spinners leading to a 30%
improvement. The time ratio 9.9/2.33=4.3 indicates that there
are on average 4+ spinners waiting in the spin_lock loop for
each spinner in the mutex_spin_on_owner loop. Contention in
other locking functions also go down by quite a lot.
The table below shows the performance change of both patches 1 &
2 over patch 1 alone in other AIM7 workloads (at 8 nodes,
hyperthreading off).
+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
| Workload | mean % change | mean % change | mean % change |
| | 10-100 users | 200-1000 users | 1100-2000 users |
+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
| alltests | 0.0% | -0.8% | +0.6% |

| shared | -0.5% | -0.3% | -0.4% |
| short | -1.7% | -9.8% | -8.3% |
+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
The short workload is the only one that shows a decline in
performance probably due to the spinner locking and queuing
overhead.

In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into
the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be
issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a
total of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be
issued in rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache
bouncing when many tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the
same time.
This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions
used by checking the counter value first before issuing the
instruction. The atomic_read() function is just a simple memory
read. The atomic_xchg() function, on the other hand, can be up
to 2 order of magnitude or even more in cost when compared with
atomic_read(). By using atomic_read() to check the value first
before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a lot of unnecessary
cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this change is
that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit less chance of
getting the mutex when competing with another task in the fast
path.
The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the
mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed
before calling atomic_cmpxchg().
The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture
can allow any negative number to be used in the mutex count to
indicate that some tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so
sure if that is the case for the other architectures. So the
default is to avoid atomic_xchg() if the count has already been
set to -1. For x86, the check is modified to include all
negative numbers to cover a larger case.

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.
So they are not that interesting.
AIM7 benchmark run has a pretty large run-to-run variance due to
random nature of the subtests executed. So a difference of less
than +-5% may not be really significant.
This patch improves high_systime workload performance at 4 nodes
and up by maintaining transaction rates without significant
drop-off at high node count. The patch has practically no
impact on 1 and 2 nodes system.
The table below shows the percentage time (as reported by perf
record -a -s -g) spent on the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function
by the high_systime workload at 1500 users for 2/4/8-node
configurations with hyperthreading off.

| 2 nodes | 0.41% | 0.32% | -22% |
+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
It is obvious that the dramatic performance improvement at 8
nodes was due to the drastic cut in the time spent within the
__mutex_lock_slowpath() function.
The table below show the improvements in other AIM7 workloads
(at 8 nodes, hyperthreading off).

As mentioned by Ingo, the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN scheduler
feature bit was really just an early hack to make with/without
mutex-spinning testable. So it is no longer necessary.
This patch removes the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN feature bit and
move the mutex spinning code from kernel/sched/core.c back to
kernel/mutex.c which is where they should belong.

We should store file xattrs in struct cfent instead of struct cftype,
because cftype is a type while cfent is object instance of cftype.
For example each cgroup has a tasks file, and each tasks file is
associated with a uniq cfent, but all those files share the same
struct cftype.
Alexey Kodanev reported a crash, which can be reproduced:
# mount -t cgroup -o xattr /sys/fs/cgroup
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
# setfattr -n trusted.value -v test_value /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks
# rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
# umount /sys/fs/cgroup
oops!
In this case, simple_xattrs_free() will free the same struct simple_xattrs
twice.
tj: Dropped unused local variable @cft from cgroup_diput().

Provide two new helpers in order to notify the full dynticks CPUs about
some internal system changes against which they may reconsider the state
of their tick. Some practical examples include: posix cpu timers, perf tick
and sched clock tick.
For now the notifying handler, implemented through IPIs, is a stub
that will be implemented when we get the tick stop/restart infrastructure
in.

This reverts commit 3a366e614d0837d9fc23f78cdb1a1186ebc3387f.
Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several
minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic.
Jens says:
"It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert
the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close).
The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of
queueing up a revert and pull request."

Fix a double locking bug caused when debug.kprobe-optimization=0.
While the proc_kprobes_optimization_handler locks kprobe_mutex,
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer locks it again and that causes a double lock.
To fix the bug, this introduces different mutex for protecting
sysctl parameter and locks it in proc_kprobes_optimization_handler.
Of course, since we need to lock kprobe_mutex when touching kprobes
resources, that is done in *optimize_all_kprobes().
This bug was introduced by commit ad72b3bea744 ("kprobes: fix
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer()")

This fixes a kernel memory contents leak via the tkill and tgkill syscalls
for compat processes.
This is visible in the siginfo_t->_sifields._rt.si_sigval.sival_ptr field
when handling signals delivered from tkill.
The place of the infoleak:
int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, siginfo_t *from)
{
...
put_user_ex(ptr_to_compat(from->si_ptr), &to->si_ptr);
...
}

We can extend kexec-tools to support multiple "Crash kernel" in /proc/iomem
instead.
So we can use "Crash kernel" instead of "Crash kernel low" in /proc/iomem.

Per hpa, use crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low instead of
crashkernel_hign=X crashkernel_low=Y. As that could be extensible.
-v2: according to Vivek, change delimiter to ;
-v3: let hign and low only handle simple form and it conforms to
description in kernel-parameters.txt
still keep crashkernel=X override any crashkernel=X,high
crashkernel=Y,low
-v4: update get_last_crashkernel returning and add more strict
checking in parse_crashkernel_simple() found by HATAYAMA.
-v5: Change delimiter back to , according to HPA.
also separate parse_suffix from parse_simper according to vivek.
so we can avoid @pos in that path.
-v6: Tight the checking about crashkernel=X,highblahblah,high
found by HTYAYAMA.
