6bfa687c19 sched/rt: Remove redundant nr_cpus_allowed test
In 76854c7e8f ("sched: Use
rt.nr_cpus_allowed to recover select_task_rq() cycles") an
optimization was added to select_task_rq_rt() that immediately
returns when p->nr_cpus_allowed == 1 at the beginning of the
function.

This makes the latter p->nr_cpus_allowed > 1 check redundant,
which can now be removed.

a233f1120c sched: Prepare for per-cpu preempt_count
When using per-cpu preempt_count variables we need to save/restore the
preempt_count on context switch (into per task storage; for instance
the old thread_info::preempt_count variable) because of
PREEMPT_ACTIVE.

However, this means that on fork() the preempt_count value of the last
context switch gets copied and if we had a PREEMPT_ACTIVE switch right
before cloning a child task the child task will now too have
PREEMPT_ACTIVE set and start its life with an extra PREEMPT_ACTIVE
count.

Therefore we need to make init_task_preempt_count() unconditional;
this resets whatever preempt_count we inherited from our parent
process.

Doing so for !per-cpu implementations is harmless.

For !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels we need to be careful not to start life
with an increased preempt_count.

bdb4380658 sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers
Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic
preempt_count value modifiers:

  __preempt_count_add()
  __preempt_count_sub()

and the new:

  __preempt_count_dec_and_test()

And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional
$op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op.

Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace()
variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

0102874755 sched: Create more preempt_count accessors
We need a few special preempt_count accessors:
 - task_preempt_count() for when we're interested in the preemption
   count of another (non-running) task.
 - init_task_preempt_count() for properly initializing the preemption
   count.
 - init_idle_preempt_count() a special case of the above for the idle
   threads.

With these no generic code ever touches thread_info::preempt_count
anymore and architectures could choose to remove it.

f27dde8dee sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count
In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to
fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value.

Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an
atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making
preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED
infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into
preempt_count; namely:

 - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task
 - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a
                   remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI
                   and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from
                   there.
 - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling().

We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means
both need_resched and !atomic.

Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between
preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid
having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use
the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane
reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched()
already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

 preempt_count() - returns the preempt_count value as rvalue
 preempt_count_set() - Allows setting the preempt-count value

ea81174789 sched, idle: Fix the idle polling state logic
Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop")
regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule
interrupts.

The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an
inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86:
default polling, generic: default !polling).

Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit
usage).

Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

4314895165 sched: Micro-optimize by dropping unnecessary task_rq() calls
We always know the rq used, let's just pass it around.
This seems to cut the size of scheduler core down a tiny bit:

Before:

  [linux]$ size kernel/sched/core.o.orig
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    62760   16130    3876   82766   1434e kernel/sched/core.o.orig

After:

  [linux]$ size kernel/sched/core.o.patched
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    62566   16130    3876   82572   1428c kernel/sched/core.o.patched

Probably speeds it up as well.

9bd721c55c sched/balancing: Consider max cost of idle balance per sched domain
In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing
for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the
time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing
in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also
keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max
time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains so that we can
determine the avg_idle's max value.

By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the
chance we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost
to balance.

abfafa54db sched: Reduce overestimating rq->avg_idle
When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle
gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause
avg_idle to often be overestimated.

This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the
function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set
it to the max.

3029ede393 sched/balancing: Fix 'local->avg_load > busiest->avg_load' case in fix_small_imbalance()
In busiest->group_imb case we can come to fix_small_imbalance() with
local->avg_load > busiest->avg_load. This can result in wrong imbalance
fix-up, because there is the following check there where all the
members are unsigned:

if (busiest->avg_load - local->avg_load + scaled_busy_load_per_task >=
    (scaled_busy_load_per_task * imbn)) {
	env->imbalance = busiest->load_per_task;
	return;
}

As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to
another if there are pinned tasks.

Fix it by substituting the subtraction with an equivalent addition in
the check.

  belonging to different cores on an HT-enabled machine with N logical

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to calculate_imbalance() with

As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to

Fix this by skipping the assignment and assuming imbalance=0 in case
local->avg_load > sds->avg_load.

02b9735c12 ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc1
1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
 
   After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage
   on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for
   non-existing devices.  Although those notifications are really
   spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that
   shouldn't introduce too much overhead.  Four commits to make that
   work properly.
 
  2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
 
   This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
   ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
   hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
   time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
   acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
   which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
 
  3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
 
   The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
   Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
   of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information
   expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable.
 
  4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
 
   AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
   executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).  From
   Bob Moore.
 
  5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
 
   There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
   object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that
   the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more
   criteria into account in those cases.
 
  6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
 
   If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
   some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
   pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
 
  7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
 
   Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq
   related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes
   from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
 
  8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
 
   Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
   read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't
   work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.  Fix
   from Andreas Schwab.
 
  9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
 
   Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
   serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems
   in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately
   it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it
   now and address the original problems later in a more robust way.
 
 10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
 
 11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
 
   The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes
   over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer
   dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to
   suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a
   couple of related issues.
 
 12) cpufreq locking fix
 
   cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
   it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu.

c61037e905 sched/fair: Fix the group_capacity computation
Do away with 'phantom' cores due to N*frac(smt_power) >= 1 by limiting
the capacity to the actual number of cores.

The assumption of 1 < smt_power < 2 is an actual requirement because
of what SMT is so this should work regardless of the SMT
implementation.

It can still be defeated by creative use of cpu hotplug, but if you're
one of those freaks, you get to live with it.

863bffc808 sched/fair: Fix group power_orig computation
When looking at the code I noticed we don't actually compute
sgp->power_orig correctly for groups, fix that.

Currently the only consumer of that value is fix_small_capacity()
which is only used on POWER7+ and that code excludes this case by
being limited to SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER which is only ever set on the SMT
domain which must be the lowest domain and this has singleton groups.

So nothing should be affected by this change.

6263322c5e sched/fair: Rewrite group_imb trigger
Change the group_imb detection from the old 'load-spike' detector to
an actual imbalance detector. We set it from the lower domain balance
pass when it fails to create a balance in the presence of task
affinities.

The advantage is that this should no longer generate the false
positive group_imb conditions generated by transient load spikes from
the normal balancing/bulk-wakeup etc. behaviour.

While I haven't actually observed those they could happen.

I'm not entirely happy with this patch; it somehow feels a little
fragile.

Nor does it solve the biggest issue I have with the group_imb code; it
it still a fragile construct in that once we 'fixed' the imbalance
we'll not detect the group_imb again and could end up re-creating it.

That said, this patch does seem to preserve behaviour for the
described degenerate case. In particular on my 2*6*2 wsm-ep:

  taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'

ends up with 9 spinners, each on their own CPU; whereas if you disable
the group_imb code that typically doesn't happen (you'll get one pair
sharing a CPU most of the time).

because it's new cgroup's refcount that is incremented at (*1),
so the old cgroup(and related data) can be freed before (*2).

In fact, a panic caused by this bug was originally caught in RHEL6.4.

Currently utask->depth is simply the number of allocated/pending

handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we
handle/free an instance, but due to typo it does this only if
->chained == T. This means that in the likely case this counter
is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than
MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH events.

6723734cdf panic: call panic handlers before kmsg_dump
Since the panic handlers may produce additional information (via printk)
for the kernel log, it should be reported as part of the panic output
saved by kmsg_dump().  Without this re-ordering, nothing that adds
information to a panic will show up in pstore's view when kmsg_dump runs,
and is therefore not visible to crash reporting tools that examine pstore
output.

73af963f9f __ptrace_may_access() should not deny sub-threads
__ptrace_may_access() checks get_dumpable/ptrace_has_cap/etc if task !=
current, this can can lead to surprising results.

For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the
executable is not readable.  setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that
inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does
set_dumpable(suid_dumpable).  After that get_dumpable() fails.

(It is not clear why proc_pid_readlink() checks get_dumpable(), perhaps we
could add PTRACE_MODE_NODUMPABLE)

Change __ptrace_may_access() to use same_thread_group() instead of "task
== current".  Any security check is pointless when the tasks share the
same ->mm.

c802d64a35 kprobes: unify insn caches
The current kpropes insn caches allocate memory areas for insn slots
with module_alloc().  The assumption is that the kernel image and module
area are both within the same +/- 2GB memory area.

This however is not true for s390 where the kernel image resides within
the first 2GB (DMA memory area), but the module area is far away in the
vmalloc area, usually somewhere close below the 4TB area.

For new pc relative instructions s390 needs insn slots that are within
+/- 2GB of each area.  That way we can patch displacements of
pc-relative instructions within the insn slots just like x86 and
powerpc.

The module area works already with the normal insn slot allocator,
however there is currently no way to get insn slots that are within the
first 2GB on s390 (aka DMA area).

Therefore this patch set modifies the kprobes insn slot cache code in
order to allow to specify a custom allocator for the insn slot cache
pages.  In addition architecure can now have private insn slot caches
withhout the need to modify common code.

Patch 1 unifies and simplifies the current insn and optinsn caches
        implementation. This is a preparation which allows to add more
        insn caches in a simple way.

Patch 2 adds the possibility to specify a custom allocator.

Patch 3 makes s390 use the new insn slot mechanisms and adds support for
        pc-relative instructions with long displacements.

This patch (of 3):

The two insn caches (insn, and optinsn) each have an own mutex and
alloc/free functions (get_[opt]insn_slot() / free_[opt]insn_slot()).

Since there is the need for yet another insn cache which satifies dma
allocations on s390, unify and simplify the current implementation:

- Move the per insn cache mutex into struct kprobe_insn_cache.
- Move the alloc/free functions to kprobe.h so they are simply
  wrappers for the generic __get_insn_slot/__free_insn_slot functions.
  The implementation is done with a DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS() macro
  which provides the alloc/free functions for each cache if needed.
- move the struct kprobe_insn_cache to kprobe.h which allows to generate
  architecture specific insn slot caches outside of the core kprobes
  code.

read_barrier_depends() into smp_read_barrier_depends() in

202da40057 kernel/smp.c: quit unconditionally enabling irqs in on_each_cpu_mask().
As in commit f21afc25f9 ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in
!SMP version of on_each_cpu()"), we don't want to enable irqs if they
are not already enabled.

I don't know of any bugs currently caused by this unconditional
local_irq_enable(), but I want to use this function in MIPS/OCTEON early
boot (when we have early_boot_irqs_disabled).  This also makes this
function have similar semantics to on_each_cpu() which is good in
itself.

e656a63411 extable: skip sorting if the table is empty
At least on ARM no-MMU the extable is empty and so there is nothing to
sort. So add a check for the table to be empty which effectively only
changes that the misleading pr_notice is suppressed.

bff2dc42bc smp.h: move !SMP version of on_each_cpu() out-of-line
All of the other non-trivial !SMP versions of functions in smp.h are
out-of-line in up.c.  Move on_each_cpu() there as well.

This allows us to get rid of the #include <linux/irqflags.h>.  The
drawback is that this makes both the x86_64 and i386 defconfig !SMP
kernels about 200 bytes larger each.

081192b25c up.c: use local_irq_{save,restore}() in smp_call_function_single.
The SMP version of this function doesn't unconditionally enable irqs, so
neither should this !SMP version.  There are no know problems caused by
this, but we make the change for consistency's sake.

fa688207c9 smp: quit unconditionally enabling irq in on_each_cpu_mask and on_each_cpu_cond
As in commit f21afc25f9 ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in
!SMP version of on_each_cpu()"), we don't want to enable irqs if they
are not already enabled.  There are currently no known problematical
callers of these functions, but since it is a known failure pattern, we
preemptively fix them.

Since they are not trivial functions, make them non-inline by moving
them to up.c.  This also makes it so we don't have to fix #include
dependancies for preempt_{disable,enable}.
