In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to
inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for
PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay
instrumentation (bootchart) app.
This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every
clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit,
after the task's counters have been closed.
This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap
and through the new attr.task field.

Currently the counter value returned by read() is the value of
the parent counter, to which child counters are only fed back
on child exit.
Thus read() can return rather erratic (and meaningless) numbers
depending on the state of the child processes.
Change this by always iterating the full child hierarchy on
read() and sum all counters.

Use kernel_text_address() for checking probe address instead of

When profile= is used, a large buffer is allocated early at boot. This
can be larger than what the page allocator can provide so it prints a
warning. However, the caller is able to handle the situation so this
patch suppresses the warning.

After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix
frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg)
doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all
refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can
wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings.
- set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
- clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
- rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844
("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").
We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.

Setting

does not work but it turns to work if it has a trailing-whitespace,
like
"crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M ".
It was because of a bug in the parser, running over the cmdline.
This patch adds a check of the termination.

Fix a post-2.6.31 regression which was introduced by
2ff05b2b4eac2e63d345fc731ea151a060247f53 ("oom: move oom_adj value from
task_struct to mm_struct").
After moving the oom_adj value from the task struct to the mm_struct, the
oom_adj value was no longer properly inherited by child processes.
Copying over the oom_adj value at fork time fixes that bug.

The check_modstruct_version() needs to look up the symbol "module_layout"
in the kernel, but it does so literally and not by a C identifier. The
trouble is that it does not include a symbol prefix for those ports that
need it (like the Blackfin and H8300 port). So make sure we tack on the

Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.
His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.
This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).
This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.

irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().
Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
nicely.
Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke
the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task
is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags &
PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So
while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement
nr_uninterruptible on thaw.
Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set
it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and
clear it after we return from frozen state.

The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on
CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a
scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of
the time we offlined the CPU.
Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead.
Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online
CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the
stale update time value.

Right now we don't output vfork events. Even though we should
always see an exec after a vfork, we may get perfcounter
samples between the vfork and exec. These samples can lead to
some confusion when parsing perfcounter data.
To keep things consistent we should always log a fork event. It
will result in a little more log data, but is less confusing to
trace parsing tools.

There are a few places we are leaking tiny amounts of kernel
memory to userspace. This happens when writing out strings
because we always align the end to 64 bits.
To avoid this we should always use an appropriately sized
temporary buffer and ensure it is zeroed.
Since d_path assembles the string from the end of the buffer
backwards, we need to add 64 bits after the buffer to allow for
alignment.
We also need to copy arch_vma_name to the temporary buffer,
because if we use it directly we may end up copying to
userspace a number of bytes after the end of the string
constant.

ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:
# echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
_spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
_spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock:traceon:count=10
We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.
This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.
If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.
So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a
virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to
the beginning of that page. The call to get_user_pages_fast
will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page
and the check for page->mapping will always fail.
The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking
that it's mapped.

One of the isolation modifications for SCHED_IDLE is the
unitization of sleeper credit. However the check for this
assumes that the sched_entity we're placing always belongs to a
task.
This is potentially not true with group scheduling and leaves
us rummaging randomly when we try to pull the policy.

Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional.
Currently cond_resched() checks system_state ==
SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the
scheduler is running.
We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
code implementing that check has two flaws:
- for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
timers.
- the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.
The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.
In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.
Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.
