Use rcu_dereference_raw() for accessing tp->files. Because the
write-side uses rcu_assign_pointer() for memory barrier,
the read-side also has to use rcu_dereference_raw() with
read memory barrier.

Special preds are created when folding a series of preds that
can be done in serial. These are allocated in an ops field of
the pred structure. But they were never freed, causing memory

When rcu_init() is called we already have slab working, allocating
bootmem at that point results in warnings and an allocation from
slab. This commit therefore changes alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() to
alloc_cpumask_var() in rcu_bootup_announce_oddness(), which is called
from rcu_init().

Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
problems for userland.
In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
!ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
/dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
older applications.
While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
lets revert this change.

Commit 8425e3d5bdbe ("workqueue: inline trivial wrappers") changed
schedule_work() and schedule_delayed_work() to inline wrappers,
but these rely on some symbols that are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, while
the original functions were EXPORT_SYMBOL. This has the effect of
changing the licensing requirement for these functions and making
them unavailable to non GPL modules.
Make them available again by removing the restriction on the
required symbols.

When we fail to mutex_trylock(), we release the pool spin_lock and do
mutex_lock(). After that, we should regrab the pool spin_lock, but,

Commit c0f4dfd4f (rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered
callbacks) introduced a bug that can result in excessively long grace
periods. This bug reverse the senes of the "if" statement checking
for lazy callbacks, so that RCU takes a lazy approach when there are
in fact non-lazy callbacks. This can result in excessive boot, suspend,
and resume times.
This commit therefore fixes the sense of this "if" statement.

An inactive timer's base can refer to a offline cpu's base.
In the current code, cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each
time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought online during the period
that another thread is trying to modify an inactive timer on that CPU
with holding its timer base lock, then the lock will be reinitialized
under its feet. This leads to following SPIN_BUG().

As an example, this particular crash occurred when CPU #3 is executing
mod_timer() on an inactive timer whose base is refered to offlined CPU
#2. The code locked the timer_base corresponding to CPU #2. Before it
could proceed, CPU #2 came online and reinitialized the spinlock
corresponding to its base. Thus now CPU #3 held a lock which was
reinitialized. When CPU #3 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base
corresponding to CPU #2, we hit the above SPIN_BUG().
CPU #0 CPU #3 CPU #2

.... ..... spin_lock_init(&base->lock)

<spin_bug>
Allocation of per_cpu timer vector bases is done only once under
"tvec_base_done[]" check. In the current code, spinlock_initialization
of base->lock isn't under this check. When a CPU is up each time the
base lock is reinitialized. Move base spinlock initialization under
the check.

The warning is that 'rdtp->dynticks' has an unexpected value, which roughly
translates to - the calls to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() were not
made in the correct order, or otherwise messed up.
And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle
loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and
the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear:
cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle()
calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter().
Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss.
And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing
infrastructure extensively.
So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(),
so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and
thus get the function ordering right.

commit 5b39939a4 (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict
idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed
to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent
failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with
nohz magic.
Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.

cgroup_create_file() calls d_instantiate(), which may decide to look
at the xattrs on the file. Smack always does this and SELinux can be
configured to do so.
But cgroup_add_file() didn't initialize xattrs before calling
cgroup_create_file(), which finally leads to dereferencing NULL
dentry->d_fsdata.
This bug has been there since cgroup xattr was introduced.

Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on
CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned
up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick
device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data
and dereferences a NULL pointer.
Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

df2d5ae499 ("workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node
pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues to map to multiple per-node
pool_workqueues and accordingly updated workqueue_contested() so that,
for unbound workqueues, it maps the specified @cpu to the NUMA node
number to obtain the matching pool_workqueue to query the congested
state.
Before this change, workqueue_congested() ignored @cpu for unbound
workqueues as there was only one pool_workqueue and some users
(fscache) called it with WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. After the commit, this
causes the following oops as WORK_CPU_UNBOUND gets translated to
garbage by cpu_to_node().

When the first function probe is added and the function tracer
is updated the functions are modified to call the probe.
But when a second function is added, it updates the function
records to have the second function also update, but it fails
to update the actual function itself.
This prevents the second (or third or forth and so on) probes
from having their functions called.

The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see
what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer.
The current method uses the counter in the function record.
As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count
increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively
being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero
which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and
we can think its enabled when only the counter is set.
The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its
function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing
what function is enabled or not.

Both __trace_add_new_event() and __trace_early_add_new_event() do
basically the same thing, except that __trace_add_new_event() does
a little more.
Instead of having duplicate code between the two functions, add
a helper function trace_create_new_event() that both can use.
This will help against having bugs fixed in one function but not
the other.

Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer
(currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference
counter in each ftrace_event_file.
Without this fix, adding and removing several different
enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear
soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also
happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers.
e.g.
# echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
# cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
0*
# echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
# cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
0
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited
As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.

Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock locking points around
ftrace_ops hash update code.
The new rule is that regex_lock protects ops->*_hash
read-update-write code for each ftrace_ops. Usually,
hash update is done by following sequence.
1. allocate a new local hash and copy the original hash.
2. update the local hash.
3. move(actually, copy) back the local hash to ftrace_ops.
4. update ftrace entries if needed.
5. release the local hash.
This makes regex_lock protect #1-#4, and ftrace_lock
to protect #3, #4 and adding and removing ftrace_ops from the
ftrace_ops_list. The ftrace_lock protects #3 as well because
the move functions update the entries too.

sh/72 is trying to acquire lock:

----
lock(ftrace_regex_lock);
lock(ftrace_regex_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
----
To fix that, this introduces a finer regex_lock for each ftrace_ops.
ftrace_regex_lock is too big of a lock which protects all
filter/notrace_hash operations, but it doesn't need to be a global
lock after supporting multiple ftrace_ops because each ftrace_ops
has its own filter/notrace_hash.

As ftrace_regex_write() reads the result of ftrace_process_regex()
which can sometimes return a positive number, only consider a
failure if the return is negative. Otherwise, it will skip possible
other registered probes and by returning a positive number that
wasn't read, it will confuse the user processes doing the writing.

event_enable_func()
register_ftrace_function_probe() returns the number of functions
it registered, which can be zero, it can also return a negative number
if something went wrong. But event_enable_func() only checks for
the case that it didn't register anything, it needs to also check
for the case that something went wrong and return that error code
as well.
Added some comments about the code as well, to make it more
understandable.

Return 0 instead of the number of activated ftrace function probes if
event_enable_func succeeded and return an error code if it failed or
did not register any functions. But it currently returns the number
of registered functions and if it didn't register anything, it returns 0,
but that is considered success.
This also fixes the return value. As if it succeeds, it returns the
number of functions that were enabled, which is returned back to
the user in ftrace_regex_write (the write() return code). If only
one function is enabled, then the return code of the write is one,
and this can confuse the user program in thinking it only wrote 1
byte.

audit rule additions containing "-F auid!=4294967295" were failing
with EINVAL because of a regression caused by e1760bd.
Apparently some userland audit rule sets want to know if loginuid uid
has been set and are using a test for auid != 4294967295 to determine
that.
In practice that is a horrible way to ask if a value has been set,
because it relies on subtle implementation details and will break
every time the uid implementation in the kernel changes.
So add a clean way to test if the audit loginuid has been set, and
silently convert the old idiom to the cleaner and more comprehensible
new idiom.

there's match and output functions defined and used as

This way we can centralize the pmu/context iterating and

The perf_event_task_ctx() function needs to be called with
preemption disabled, since it's checking for currently
scheduled cpu against event cpu.
We disable preemption for task related perf event context
if there's one defined, leaving up to the chance which cpu
it gets scheduled in.

Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as
"protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the
device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty
WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those
machines.
This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map()
callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently.
MPIC is updated to return this when hitting a protected source
printing only a single line message for diagnostic purposes.

Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.
This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.
This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
that:
- HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at
HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature
removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
typical distro configs even on modern systems.
- Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining
source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.
- A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.
The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.
Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
two NOHZ kconfig modes:
- CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
whether a CPU is idle or not.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
CPU.
The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
default.
This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.
This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull
request is marked RFC because:
- it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
small but did not get ready in time.
- it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
marked it RFC.
- it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off
should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.
- the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In
particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact
correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
feature at this point.
- it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
Without flaming us to crisp! :-)
Future plans:
- there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
for the 0 Hz target though.
- once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.
I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
but the final word is up to you as usual.
