* git://github.com/rustyrussell/linux: params: make dashes and underscores in parameter names truly equal kmod: prevent kmod_loop_msg overflow in __request_module()
2011-10-26params: make dashes and underscores in parameter names truly equalMichal Schmidt
The user may use "foo-bar" for a kernel parameter defined as "foo_bar". Make sure it works the other way around too. Apply the equality of dashes and underscores on early_params and __setup params as well. The example given in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt indicates that this is the intended behaviour. With the patch the kernel accepts "log-buf-len=1M" as expected. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744545 Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (neatened implementations)
2011-10-26kmod: prevent kmod_loop_msg overflow in __request_module()Jiri Kosina
Due to post-increment in condition of kmod_loop_msg in __request_module(), the system log can be spammed by much more than 5 instances of the 'runaway loop' message if the number of events triggering it makes the kmod_loop_msg to overflow. Fix that by making sure we never increment it past the threshold. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> CC: stable@kernel.org

2011-10-18cputimer: Cure lock inversionPeter Zijlstra
There's a lock inversion between the cputimer->lock and rq->lock; notably the two callchains involved are: update_rlimit_cpu() sighand->siglock set_process_cpu_timer() cpu_timer_sample_group() thread_group_cputimer() cputimer->lock thread_group_cputime() task_sched_runtime() ->pi_lock rq->lock scheduler_tick() rq->lock task_tick_fair() update_curr() account_group_exec() cputimer->lock Where the first one is enabling a CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID timer, and the second one is keeping up-to-date. This problem was introduced by e8abccb7193 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP accounting oddities"). Cure the problem by removing the cputimer->lock and rq->lock nesting, this leaves concurrent enablers doing duplicate work, but the time wasted should be on the same order otherwise wasted spinning on the lock and the greater-than assignment filter should ensure we preserve monotonicity.

2011-10-17Avoid using variable-length arrays in kernel/sys.cLinus Torvalds
The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is). Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to chase it down. "Just don't do that, then".

2011-10-16PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks tooJeff Layton
TASK_KILLABLE is often used to put tasks to sleep for quite some time. One of the most common uses is to put tasks to sleep while waiting for replies from a server on a networked filesystem (such as CIFS or NFS). Unfortunately, fake_signal_wake_up does not currently wake up tasks that are sleeping in TASK_KILLABLE state. This means that even if the code were in place to allow them to freeze while in this sleep, it wouldn't work anyway. This patch changes this function to wake tasks in this state as well. This should be harmless -- if the code doing the sleeping doesn't have handling to deal with freezer events, it should just go back to sleep. If it does, then this will allow that code to do the right thing. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

2011-10-16PM / Hibernate: Add resumewait param to support MMC-like devices as resume fileBarry Song
Some devices like MMC are async detected very slow. For example, drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c launches a 200ms delayed work to detect MMC partitions then add disk. We have wait_for_device_probe() and scsi_complete_async_scans() before calling swsusp_check(), but it is not enough to wait for MMC. This patch adds resumewait kernel param just like rootwait so that we have enough time to wait until MMC is ready. The difference is that we wait for resume partition whereas rootwait waits for rootfs partition (which may be on a different device). This patch will make hibernation support many embedded products without SCSI devices, but with devices like MMC.

2011-10-16PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memoryRafael J. Wysocki
There is a problem with the current ordering of hibernate code which leads to deadlocks in some filesystems' memory shrinkers. Namely, some filesystems use freezable kernel threads that are inactive when the hibernate memory preallocation is carried out. Those same filesystems use memory shrinkers that may be triggered by the hibernate memory preallocation. If those memory shrinkers wait for the frozen kernel threads, the hibernate process deadlocks (this happens with XFS, for one example). Apparently, it is not technically viable to redesign the filesystems in question to avoid the situation described above, so the only possible solution of this issue is to defer the freezing of kernel threads until the hibernate memory preallocation is done, which is implemented by this change. Unfortunately, this requires the memory preallocation to be done before the "prepare" stage of device freeze, so after this change the only way drivers can allocate additional memory for their freeze routines in a clean way is to use PM notifiers.

2011-10-16PM / Suspend: Add statistics debugfs file for suspend to RAMShuoX Liu
Record S3 failure time about each reason and the latest two failed devices' names in S3 progress. We can check it through 'suspend_stats' entry in debugfs. The motivation of the patch: We are enabling power features on Medfield. Comparing with PC/notebook, a mobile enters/exits suspend-2-ram (we call it s3 on Medfield) far more frequently. If it can't enter suspend-2-ram in time, the power might be used up soon. We often find sometimes, a device suspend fails. Then, system retries s3 over and over again. As display is off, testers and developers don't know what happens. Some testers and developers complain they don't know if system tries suspend-2-ram, and what device fails to suspend. They need such info for a quick check. The patch adds suspend_stats under debugfs for users to check suspend to RAM statistics quickly. If not using this patch, we have other methods to get info about what device fails. One is to turn on CONFIG_PM_DEBUG, but users would get too much info and testers need recompile the system. In addition, dynamic debug is another good tool to dump debug info. But it still doesn't match our utilization scenario closely. 1) user need write a user space parser to process the syslog output; 2) Our testing scenario is we leave the mobile for at least hours. Then, check its status. No serial console available during the testing. One is because console would be suspended, and the other is serial console connecting with spi or HSU devices would consume power. These devices are powered off at suspend-2-ram.

David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries).

This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

2011-09-29Resource: fix wrong resource window calculationRam Pai
__find_resource() incorrectly returns a resource window which overlaps an existing allocated window. This happens when the parent's resource-window spans 0x00000000 to 0xffffffff and is entirely allocated to all its children resource-windows. __find_resource() looks for gaps in resource allocation among the children resource windows. When it encounters the last child window it blindly tries the range next to one allocated to the last child. Since the last child's window ends at 0xffffffff the calculation overflows, leading the algorithm to believe that any window in the range 0x0000000 to 0xfffffff is available for allocation. This leads to a conflicting window allocation. Michal Ludvig reported this issue seen on his platform. The following patch fixes the problem and has been verified by Michal. I believe this bug has been there for ages.

2011-09-28connector: add comm change event report to proc connectorVladimir Zapolskiy
Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks. Such an event becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in different manner. A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime. Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions. It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the matter.

Commit c259e01a1ec ("sched: Separate the scheduler entry for preemption") contained a boo-boo wrecking wchan output.

2011-09-20irq: Fix check for already initialized irq_domain in irq_domain_addRob Herring
The sanity check in irq_domain_add() tests desc->irq_data != NULL or irq_data->domain != NULL. This prevents adding an irq_domain to a irq descriptor when irq_data exists, which true when the irq descriptor exists. This went unnoticed so far as the simple domain code did not enter this code path because domain->nr_irqs is always 0 for the simple domains. Split the check for irq_data == NULL out and have a separate warning for it.

Ok, this isn't optimal, since it means that 'iotop' needs admin capabilities, and we may have to work on this some more. But at the same time it is very much not acceptable to let anybody just read anybody elses IO statistics quite at this level. Use of the GENL_ADMIN_PERM suggested by Johannes Berg as an alternative to checking the capabilities by hand.

2011-09-18sched/rt: Migrate equal priority tasks to available CPUsShawn Bohrer
Commit 43fa5460fe60dea5c610490a1d263415419c60f6 ("sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasks") also introduced a change in behavior which keeps RT tasks on the same CPU if there is an equal priority RT task currently running even if there are empty CPUs available. This can cause unnecessary wakeup latencies, and can prevent the scheduler from balancing all RT tasks across available CPUs. This change causes an RT task to search for a new CPU if an equal priority RT task is already running on wakeup. Lower priority tasks will still have to wait on higher priority tasks, but the system should still balance out because there is always the possibility that if there are both a high and low priority RT tasks on a given CPU that the high priority task could wakeup while the low priority task is running and force it to search for a better runqueue.

2011-09-14workqueue: lock cwq access in drain_workqueueThomas Tuttle
Take cwq->gcwq->lock to avoid racing between drain_workqueue checking to make sure the workqueues are empty and cwq_dec_nr_in_flight decrementing and then incrementing nr_active when it activates a delayed work. We discovered this when a corner case in one of our drivers resulted in us trying to destroy a workqueue in which the remaining work would always requeue itself again in the same workqueue. We would hit this race condition and trip the BUG_ON on workqueue.c:3080.

2011-09-12genirq: Make irq_shutdown() symmetric vs. irq_startup againGeert Uytterhoeven
If an irq_chip provides .irq_shutdown(), but neither of .irq_disable() or .irq_mask(), free_irq() crashes when jumping to NULL. Fix this by only trying .irq_disable() and .irq_mask() if there's no .irq_shutdown() provided. This revives the symmetry with irq_startup(), which tries .irq_startup(), .irq_enable(), and irq_unmask(), and makes it consistent with the comment for irq_chip.irq_shutdown() in <linux/irq.h>, which says: * @irq_shutdown: shut down the interrupt (defaults to ->disable if NULL) This is also how __free_irq() behaved before the big overhaul, cfr. e.g. 3b56f0585fd4c02d047dc406668cb40159b2d340 ("genirq: Remove bogus conditional"), where the core interrupt code always overrode .irq_shutdown() to .irq_disable() if .irq_shutdown() was NULL.
