Simply remove UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER and the corresponding code.
It can only help if uprobe has a single consumer, and in fact
it is no longer needed after handler_chain() was changed to use
->register_rwsem, we simply can not race with uprobe_register().

Now that it safe to use ->consumer_rwsem under ->mmap_sem we can
almost finish the implementation of filter_chain(). It still lacks
the actual uc->filter(...) call but othewrwise it is ready, just
it pretends that ->filter() always returns true.

Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem. It is taken for writing around
__uprobe_register/unregister.
Change handler_chain() to use this sem rather than consumer_rwsem.
The main reason for this change is that we have the nasty problem
with mmap_sem/consumer_rwsem dependency. filter_chain() needs to
protect uprobe->consumers like handler_chain(), but they can not
use the same lock. filter_chain() can be called under ->mmap_sem
(currently this is always true), but we want to allow ->handler()
to play with the probed task's memory, and this needs ->mmap_sem.
Alternatively we could use srcu, but synchronize_srcu() is very
slow and ->register_rwsem allows us to do more. In particular, we
can teach handler_chain() to do remove_breakpoint() if this bp is
"nacked" by all consumers, we know that we can't race with the
new consumer which does uprobe_register().
See also the next patches. uprobes_mutex[] is almost ready to die.

To support the filtering uprobe_register() should do
register_for_each_vma(true) every time the new consumer comes,
we need to install the previously nacked breakpoints.
Note:
- uprobes_mutex[] should die, what it actually protects is
alloc_uprobe().
- UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER should die too, obviously it can't work
unless uprobe has a single consumer. The consumer should
serialize with _register/_unregister itself. Or this flag
should live in uprobe_consumer->state.
- Perhaps we can do some optimizations later. For example, if
filter_chain() never returns false uprobe can record this
fact and avoid the unnecessary register_for_each_vma().

uprobe_unregister() removes the breakpoints only if the last consumer
goes away. To support the filtering it should do this every time, we
want to remove the breakpoints which nobody else want to keep.
Note: given that filter_chain() is not actually implemented, this patch
itself doesn't change the behaviour yet, register_for_each_vma(false)
is a heavy "nop" unless there are no more consumers.

Add the new helper filter_chain(). Currently it is only placeholder,
the comment explains what is should do. We will change it later to
consult every consumer to decide whether we need to install the swbp.
Until then it works as if any consumer returns true, this matches the
current behavior.
Change install_breakpoint() to call filter_chain() instead of checking
uprobe->consumers != NULL. We obviously need this, and this equally
closes the race with _unregister().
Change remove_breakpoint() to call this helper too. Currently this is
pointless because remove_breakpoint() is only called when the last
consumer goes away, but we will change this.

uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it.
We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps
we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to
just skip uc->handler().

register/unregister verifies that inode/uc != NULL. For what?
This really looks like "hide the potential problem", the caller
should pass the valid data.
register() also checks uc->next == NULL, probably to prevent the
double-register but the caller can do other stupid/wrong things.
If we do this check, then we should document that uc->next should
be cleared before register() and add BUG_ON().
Also add the small comment about the i_size_read() check.

[ hpa: it would be interesting to revert to the timeconst.bc script.
It appears that the failures reported by akpm during testing of

The old SRCU implementation loads sp->completed within an
RCU-sched section, courtesy of preempt_disable(). This was required
due to the use of synchronize_sched() in the old implemenation's
synchronize_srcu(). However, the new implementation does not rely
on synchronize_sched(), so it in turn does not require the load of
sp->completed and the ->c[] counter to be in a single preempt-disabled
region of code. This commit therefore moves the sp->completed access
outside of the preempt-disabled region and applies ACCESS_ONCE().
The resulting code is almost as the same as before, but it removes the
now-misleading rcu_dereference_index_check() call.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into sched/core
Pull full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed and
receives no timer IRQs) preparation changes that convert the
cputime accounting code to be full-dynticks ready,
from Frederic Weisbecker:
"This implements the cputime accounting on full dynticks CPUs.
Typical cputime stats infrastructure relies on the timer tick and
its periodic polling on the CPU to account the amount of time
spent by the CPUs and the tasks per high level domains such as
userspace, kernelspace, guest, ...
Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on
Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation.
This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend
on the timer tick.
To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into
kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and
flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty
much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location
and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read
side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless
cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to
return the correct result to the user."

hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in
timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence.
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer
base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue
versus rq->lock.
If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on
the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU
can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call
will unlock the wrong lock.

interest is the fact that cpu is allowed to execute p. If
nr_cpus_allowed == 1, cpu != task_cpu(p) and cpu is allowed then
it means that task p is in the middle of the migration

When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up
with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is
initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context.
The move is done for each event by removing it from its context
and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the
event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at
this stage of creating groups.
The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw
context.
This fix resulted from the following discussion:

On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the
static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace.
Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never
become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer.
Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses
it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time
when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be
NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the
paths to these locations would probably not be possible.
By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared,
current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these
checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be
checked in the first place.

Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a

mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each
clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the
driver is otherwise generic.
This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so
drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of
timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.

There are several places of consecutive calls of
dequeue_task_rt() and put_prev_task_rt() in the scheduler.
For example, function rt_mutex_setprio() does it.
The both calls lead to update_curr_rt(), the second of it
receives zeroed delta_exec. The only effective action in this
case is call of sched_rt_avg_update(), which can change
rq->age_stamp and rq->rt_avg. But it is possible in case of
""floating"" rq->clock. This fact is not reasonable to be
accounted. Another actions do nothing.

Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.
Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory.
snapshot:
This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
snapshot.
# echo 1 > snapshot
This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is
not allocated), and take a snapshot.
# cat snapshot
This will show contents of the snapshot.
# echo 0 > snapshot
This will free the snapshot if it is allocated.
Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if
the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

Currently the trace buffer read functions use a static variable
"old_tracer" for detecting if the current tracer changes. This
was suitable for a single trace file ("trace"), but to add a
snapshot feature that will use the same function for its file,
a check against a static variable is not sufficient.
To use the output functions for two different files, instead of
storing the current tracer in a static variable, as the trace
iterator descriptor contains a pointer to the original current
tracer's name, that pointer can now be used to check if the
current tracer has changed between different reads of the trace
file.

For systems with an unstable sched_clock, all cpu_clock() does is enable/
disable local irq during the call to sched_clock_cpu(). And for stable
systems they are same.
trace_clock_global() already disables interrupts, so it can call
sched_clock_cpu() directly.

Add a stat about the number of events read from the ring buffer:
# cat /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 39869
overrun: 870512
commit overrun: 0
bytes: 1449912
oldest event ts: 6561.368690
now ts: 6565.246426
dropped events: 0
read events: 112 <-- Added

Jason pointed out the HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK name isn't
quite accurate for the config, as some systems may have
the persistent_clock in some cases, but not always.
So change the config name to the more clear
ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK.

While debugging the virtual cputime with the function graph tracer
with a max_depth of 1 (most common use of the max_depth so far),
I found that I was missing kernel execution because of a race condition.
The code for the return side of the function has a slight race:
ftrace_pop_return_trace(&trace, &ret, frame_pointer);
trace.rettime = trace_clock_local();
ftrace_graph_return(&trace);
barrier();
current->curr_ret_stack--;
The ftrace_pop_return_trace() initializes the trace structure for
the callback. The ftrace_graph_return() uses the trace structure
for its own use as that structure is on the stack and is local
to this function. Then the curr_ret_stack is decremented which
is what the trace.depth is set to.
If an interrupt comes in after the ftrace_graph_return() but
before the curr_ret_stack, then the called function will get
a depth of 2. If max_depth is set to 1 this function will be
ignored.
The problem is that the trace has already been called, and the
timestamp for that trace will not reflect the time the function
was about to re-enter userspace. Calls to the interrupt will not
be traced because the max_depth has prevented this.
To solve this issue, the ftrace_graph_return() can safely be
moved after the current->curr_ret_stack has been updated.
This way the timestamp for the return callback will reflect
the actual time.
If an interrupt comes in after the curr_ret_stack update and
ftrace_graph_return(), it will be traced. It may look a little
confusing to see it within the other function, but at least
it will not be lost.

The trace iterator is already initialized by trace_init_global_iter(),
so there is no need to initialize it again.

A number of kthreads have been added to rcutorture, but the shuffler
task was not informed of them, and thus did not shuffle them. This
commit therefore adds the requisite shuffling, and, while in the area
fixes up some whitespace issues.
However, the shuffling is intended to keep randomly selected CPUs
idle, which means that the RCU priority boosting kthreads need to
avoid waking up every jiffy. This commit also makes that fix.
