2013-02-20Merge branch 'for-3.9-async' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull async changes from Tejun Heo: "These are followups for the earlier deadlock issue involving async ending up waiting for itself through block requesting module[1]. The following changes are made by these commits. - Instead of requesting default elevator on each request_queue init, block now requests it once early during boot. - Kmod triggers warning if invoked from an async worker. - Async synchronization implementation has been reimplemented. It's a lot simpler now." * 'for-3.9-async' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: async: initialise list heads to fix crash async: replace list of active domains with global list of pending items async: keep pending tasks on async_domain and remove async_pending async: use ULLONG_MAX for infinity cookie value async: bring sanity to the use of words domain and running async, kmod: warn on synchronous request_module() from async workers block: don't request module during elevator init init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU assignment in crypto more flexible. workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model - workqueues running on the special unbound CPU. Bulk of changes this round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue). At this point, I'm fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon and ready for the next merge window. Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on assignment atomicity of long. For details, please read the commit message of 0b3dae68ac ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test"). While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable. There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are some shared commits among them. I'll write further pull requests assuming this pull request is pulled first." * 'for-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (37 commits) workqueue: un-GPL function delayed_work_timer_fn() workqueue: rename cpu_workqueue to pool_workqueue workqueue: reimplement is_chained_work() using current_wq_worker() workqueue: fix is_chained_work() regression workqueue: pick cwq instead of pool in __queue_work() workqueue: make get_work_pool_id() cheaper workqueue: move nr_running into worker_pool workqueue: cosmetic update in try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test workqueue: make work->data point to pool after try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handling workqueue: make work_busy() test WORK_STRUCT_PENDING first workqueue: replace WORK_CPU_NONE/LAST with WORK_CPU_END workqueue: post global_cwq removal cleanups workqueue: rename nr_running variables workqueue: remove global_cwq workqueue: remove worker_pool->gcwq workqueue: replace for_each_worker_pool() with for_each_std_worker_pool() workqueue: make freezing/thawing per-pool workqueue: make hotplug processing per-pool ...

There are a couple legitimate use cases in kernel. Hopefully, they can be converted and [delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely.

2013-02-19ftrace: Call ftrace cleanup module notifier after all other notifiersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules" changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them (namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do. Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment no longer exists. Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error. Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else. By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the problem is solved.

What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up accessing NULL pointer! Disallow this kind of invalid usage. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

2013-02-18cgroup: fix cgroup_rmdir() vs close(eventfd) raceLi Zefan
commit 205a872bd6f9a9a09ef035ef1e90185a8245cc58 ("cgroup: fix lockdep warning for event_control") solved a deadlock by introducing a new bug. Move cgrp->event_list to a temporary list doesn't mean you can traverse this list locklessly, because at the same time cgroup_event_wake() can be called and remove the event from the list. The result of this race is disastrous. We adopt the way how kvm irqfd code implements race-free event removal, which is now described in the comments in cgroup_event_wake(). v3: - call eventfd_signal() no matter it's eventfd close or cgroup removal that removes the cgroup event.

c9e7cf273f ("workqueue: move busy_hash from global_cwq to worker_pool") incorrectly converted is_chained_work() to use get_gcwq() inside for_each_gcwq_cpu() while removing get_gcwq(). As cwq might not exist for all possible workqueue CPUs, @cwq can be NULL and the following cwq deferences can lead to oops. Fix it by using for_each_cwq_cpu() instead, which is the better one to use anyway as we only need to check pools that the wq is associated with. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

The calls are obviously incorrect, and confusing. Other efforts have been made to fix this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367 But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the current solution has. Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them. With this patch the changes now have: #> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace #> Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints. For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall. I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h. I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added: commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing" It does not need to be included there.

When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an attempt is made to broadcast to them. This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for devices which require broadcast in low power states.

2013-02-09suspend: enable freeze timeout configuration through sysLi Fei
At present, the value of timeout for freezing is 20s, which is meaningless in case that one thread is frozen with mutex locked and another thread is trying to lock the mutex, as this time of freezing will fail unavoidably. And if there is no new wakeup event registered, the system will waste at most 20s for such meaningless trying of freezing. With this patch, the value of timeout can be configured to smaller value, so such meaningless trying of freezing will be aborted in earlier time, and later freezing can be also triggered in earlier time. And more power will be saved. In normal case on mobile phone, it costs real little time to freeze processes. On some platform, it only costs about 20ms to freeze user space processes and 10ms to freeze kernel freezable threads.

2013-02-09PM: Introduce suspend state PM_SUSPEND_FREEZEZhang Rui
PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state is a general state that does not need any platform specific support, it equals frozen processes + suspended devices + idle processors. Compared with PM_SUSPEND_MEMORY, PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE saves less power because the system is still in a running state. PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE has less resume latency because it does not touch BIOS, and the processors are in idle state. Compared with RTPM/idle, PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE saves more power as 1. the processor has longer sleep time because processes are frozen. The deeper c-state the processor supports, more power saving we can get. 2. PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE uses system suspend code path, thus we can get more power saving from the devices that does not have good RTPM support. This state is useful for 1) platforms that do not have STR, or have a broken STR. 2) platforms that have an extremely low power idle state, which can be used to replace STR. The following describes how PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state works. 1. echo freeze > /sys/power/state 2. the processes are frozen. 3. all the devices are suspended. 4. all the processors are blocked by a wait queue 5. all the processors idles and enters (Deep) c-state. 6. an interrupt fires. 7. a processor is woken up and handles the irq. 8. if it is a general event, a) the irq handler runs and quites. b) goto step 4. 9. if it is a real wake event, say, power button pressing, keyboard touch, mouse moving, a) the irq handler runs and activate the wakeup source b) wakeup_source_activate() notifies the wait queue. c) system starts resuming from PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE 10. all the devices are resumed. 11. all the processes are unfrozen. 12. system is back to working. Known Issue: The wakeup of this new PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state may behave differently from the previous suspend state. Take ACPI platform for example, there are some GPEs that only enabled when the system is in sleep state, to wake the system backk from S3/S4. But we are not touching these GPEs during transition to PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE. This means we may lose some wake event. But on the other hand, as we do not disable all the Interrupts during PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE, we may get some extra "wakeup" Interrupts, that are not available for S3/S4. The patches has been tested on an old Sony laptop, and here are the results: Average Power: 1. RPTM/idle for half an hour: 14.8W, 12.6W, 14.1W, 12.5W, 14.4W, 13.2W, 12.9W 2. Freeze for half an hour: 11W, 10.4W, 9.4W, 11.3W 10.5W 3. RTPM/idle for three hours: 11.6W 4. Freeze for three hours: 10W 5. Suspend to Memory: 0.5~0.9W Average Resume Latency: 1. RTPM/idle with a black screen: (From pressing keyboard to screen back) Less than 0.2s 2. Freeze: (From pressing power button to screen back) 2.50s 3. Suspend to Memory: (From pressing power button to screen back) 4.33s >From the results, we can see that all the platforms should benefit from this patch, even if it does not have Low Power S0.

2013-02-09kprobes: fix wait_for_kprobe_optimizer()Tejun Heo
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer() seems largely broken. It uses optimizer_comp which is never re-initialized, so wait_for_kprobe_optimizer() will never wait for anything once kprobe_optimizer() finishes all pending jobs for the first time. Also, aside from completion, delayed_work_pending() is %false once kprobe_optimizer() starts execution and wait_for_kprobe_optimizer() won't wait for it. Reimplement it so that it flushes optimizing_work until [un]optimizing_lists are empty. Note that this also makes optimizing_work execute immediately if someone's waiting for it, which is the nicer behavior. Only compile tested.

2013-02-08time, Fix setting of hardware clock in NTP codePrarit Bhargava
At init time, if the system time is "warped" forward in warp_clock() it will differ from the hardware clock by sys_tz.tz_minuteswest. This time difference is not taken into account when ntp updates the hardware clock, and this causes the system time to jump forward by this offset every reboot. The kernel must take this offset into account when writing the system time to the hardware clock in the ntp code. This patch adds persistent_clock_is_local which indicates that an offset has been applied in warp_clock() and accounts for the "warp" before writing the hardware clock. x86 does not have this problem as rtc writes are software limited to a +/-15 minute window relative to the current rtc time. Other arches, such as powerpc, however do a full synchronization of the system time to the rtc and will see this problem.
