Freeing a perf event can happen in several ways. A task
calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper
will detach all the events from the task context and queue their
removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task
also loses its context reference there.
Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made
from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number
of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's
perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events.
But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up
already.
So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp
to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem.
At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones.
If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its
events from the context but free_event() will be called later,
on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the
task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all
events have been removed from the context.
To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints.
On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used
by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id.
So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context,
we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number
of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or
released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this
result.
In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning,
reported by Paul.

The task_group() function returns a pointer that must be protected
by either RCU, the ->alloc_lock, or the cgroup lock (see the
rcu_dereference_check() in task_subsys_state(), which is invoked by
task_group()). The wake_affine() function currently does none of these,
which means that a concurrent update would be within its rights to free
the structure returned by task_group(). Because wake_affine() uses this
structure only to compute load-balancing heuristics, there is no reason
to acquire either of the two locks.
Therefore, this commit introduces an RCU read-side critical section that
starts before the first call to task_group() and ends after the last use
of the "tg" pointer returned from task_group(). Thanks to Li Zefan for
pointing out the need to extend the RCU read-side critical section from
that proposed by the original patch.

Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced
an imbalanced scheduling bug.
If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the
system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the
incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too
many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps
going in a round robin. That will hurt performance.
The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that
developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops
about 40%.

With the addition of the code to shrink the kernel tracepoint
infrastructure, we lost kprobes being traced by perf. The reason
is that I tested if the "tp_event->class->perf_probe" existed before
enabling it. This prevents "ftrace only" events (like the function
trace events) from being enabled by perf.
Unfortunately, kprobe events do not use perf_probe. This causes
kprobes to be missed by perf. To fix this, we add the test to
see if "tp_event->class->reg" exists as well as perf_probe.
Normal trace events have only "perf_probe" but no "reg" function,
and kprobes and syscalls have the "reg" but no "perf_probe".
The ftrace unique events do not have either, so this is a valid
test. If a kprobe or syscall is not to be probed by perf, the
"reg" function is called anyway, and will return a failure and
prevent perf from probing it.

The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the
trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized
irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via
set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq.
The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq,
but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users
which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the
function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip
and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue.
The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the
irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to
make sure that a chip change is covered.
But as we have already users, which do the type setting after
request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults()
from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip.
It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip
on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix
all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.

PROVE_RCU has a few issues with the cpu_cgroup because the scheduler
typically holds rq->lock around the css rcu derefs but the generic
cgroup code doesn't (and can't) know about that lock.
Provide means to add extra checks to the css dereference and use that
in the scheduler to annotate its users.
The addition of rq->lock to these checks is correct because the
cgroup_subsys::attach() method takes the rq->lock for each task it
moves, therefore by holding that lock, we ensure the task is pinned to
the current cgroup and the RCU derefence is valid.
That leaves one genuine race in __sched_setscheduler() where we used
task_group() without holding any of the required locks and thus raced
with the cgroup code. Solve this by moving the check under the
appropriate lock.

Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly
and even caused a division-by-zero error.
It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a
failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period().
The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison
in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and
got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is
that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true.
Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

module: Make module sysfs functions private.
module: move sysfs exposure to end of load_module
module: fix kdb's illicit use of struct module_use.
module: Make the 'usage' lists be two-way
Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.
In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:
libcrc32c_mod_init
crypto_alloc_shash
crypto_alloc_tfm
crypto_find_alg
crypto_alg_mod_lookup
crypto_larval_lookup
request_module
If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.
Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.
Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module
slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't
hold the lock the whole time.
So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just
before we put the module in the global list.
(find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).
Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.
In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before

Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> reports that we still have some
contention over module loading which is slowing boot.
Linus also disliked a previous "drop lock and regrab" patch to fix the
bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c" message.
This is more ambitious: we only grab the lock where we need it.

These were placed in the header in ef665c1a06 to get the various
SYSFS/MODULE config combintations to compile.
That may have been necessary then, but it's not now. These functions
are all local to module.c.

This means a little extra work, but is more logical: we don't put
anything in sysfs until we're about to put the module into the
global list an parse its parameters.
This also gives us a logical place to put duplicate module detection
in the next patch.

Linus changed the structure, and luckily this didn't compile any more.

When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.
It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".
In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.
By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

The commit 80b5184cc5 ("kernel/: convert cpu
notifier to return encapsulate errno value") changed the return value of
cpu notifier callbacks.
Those callbacks don't return NOTIFY_BAD on failures anymore. But there
are a few callbacks which are called directly at init time and checking
the return value.
I forgot to change BUG_ON checking by the direct callers in the commit.

Child groups should have a greater depth than their parents. Prior to
this change, the parent would incorrectly report zero memory usage for
child cgroups when use_hierarchy is enabled.
test script:
mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
cd /cgroups
mkdir cg1
echo 1 > cg1/memory.use_hierarchy
mkdir cg1/cg11
echo $$ > cg1/cg11/tasks
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1
echo
echo CHILD
grep cache cg1/cg11/memory.stat
echo
echo PARENT
grep cache cg1/memory.stat
echo $$ > tasks
rmdir cg1/cg11 cg1
cd /
umount /cgroups
Using fae9c79, a recent patch that changed alloc_css_id() depth computation,
the parent incorrectly reports zero usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0151844 s, 69.1 MB/s

With this patch, the parent correctly includes child usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0136827 s, 76.6 MB/s

task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use
"unsigned long pesonality". This means that every assignment or
comparison is not right. In particular, if this argument does not fit
into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality
and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL.
Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows. Obviously,
this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits. But this
can't break the sane application.
There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications.
User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long. This means
that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code. But
note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with
this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really
fails. And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if
that app previously called personality(RET).
