2015-05-27rcutorture: Allow negative values of nreaders to oversubscribePaul E. McKenney
By default, with rcutorture.nreaders equal to -1, rcutorture provisions N-1 reader kthreads, where N is the number of CPUs. This avoids rcutorture-induced stalls, but also avoids heavier levels of torture. This commit therefore allows negative values of rcutorture.nreaders to specify larger numbers of reader kthreads, so that for example rcutorture.nreaders=-2 provisions N kthreads and rcutorture.nreaders=-5 provisions N+3 kthreads.

2015-05-27rcu: Enable diagnostic dump of rcu_node combining treePaul E. McKenney
The purpose of this commit is to make it easier to verify that RCU's combining tree is set up correctly, which is useful to have when making changes in how that tree is initialized.

2015-05-27rcu: Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameterPaul E. McKenney
The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific rcu_node combining-tree configurations. It therefore does not make much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure their kernels. So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact= boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.

2015-05-27rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period scansPaul E. McKenney
Grace-period scans of the rcu_node combining tree normally proceed quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against them. This commit therefore allows grace-period pre-initialization and cleanup to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of pairs of new Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies. Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-05-20driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe supportLuis R. Rodriguez
Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe. Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides will be immediately available after this.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon: "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64 kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile. We don't support any peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope: - MEMORY init (UEFI) - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI) - CPU init (FADT) - GIC init (MADT) - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI) - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT) ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables. This has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux kernel. This pull request is the result of that work. These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller, and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course, there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!) but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core series has been merged. Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in -next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly half of the insertions fall under Documentation/. So, we'll see how this goes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar: "This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver: persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical memory space as large physical memory regions. The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig. Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are reasonably happy with this initial version. This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!' modifier character. Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc. Initial support is for x86" * 'x86-pmem-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: drivers/block/pmem: Fix 32-bit build warning in pmem_alloc() drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memory x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type

2015-04-14watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanismUlrich Obergfell
With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

2015-03-25ARM64 / ACPI: Introduce early_param "acpi=" to enable/disable ACPIAl Stone
This implements the following policy to decide whether ACPI should be used to boot the system: - acpi=off: ACPI will not be used to boot the system, even if there is no alternative available (e.g., device tree is empty) - acpi=force: only ACPI will be used to boot the system; if that fails, there will be no fallback to alternative methods (such as device tree) - otherwise, ACPI will be used as a fallback if the device tree turns out to lack a platform description; the heuristic to decide this is whether /chosen is the only node present at depth 1 CC: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> CC: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> CC: Rafael J.

2015-03-11rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period initializationPaul E. McKenney
Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period initialization. This commit therefore allows grace-period initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of new Kconfig parameters are provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies of slowdown to apply. A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay allows boot-time delay to be specified. By default, no delay will be applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2015-02-26PM / sleep: add configurable delay for pm_testBrian Norris
When CONFIG_PM_DEBUG=y, we provide a sysfs file (/sys/power/pm_test) for selecting one of a few suspend test modes, where rather than entering a full suspend state, the kernel will perform some subset of suspend steps, wait 5 seconds, and then resume back to normal operation. This mode is useful for (among other things) observing the state of the system just before entering a sleep mode, for debugging or analysis purposes. However, a constant 5 second wait is not sufficient for some sorts of analysis; for example, on an SoC, one might want to use external tools to probe the power states of various on-chip controllers or clocks. This patch turns this 5 second delay into a configurable module parameter, so users can determine how long to wait in this pseudo-suspend state before resuming the system. Example (wait 30 seconds); # echo 30 > /sys/module/suspend/parameters/pm_test_delay # echo core > /sys/power/pm_test # time echo mem > /sys/power/state ...

I'm pushing this in now. This will allow Thomas to debug his irq work for 3.20. This adds two new features: 1) Allow traceopoints to be enabled right after mm_init(). By passing in the trace_event= kernel command line parameter, tracepoints can be enabled at boot up. For debugging things like the initialization of interrupts, it is needed to have tracepoints enabled very early. People have asked about this before and this has been on my todo list. As it can be helpful for Thomas to debug his upcoming 3.20 IRQ work, I'm pushing this now. This way he can add tracepoints into the IRQ set up and have users enable them when things go wrong. 2) Have the tracepoints printed via printk() (the console) when they are triggered. If the irq code locks up or reboots the box, having the tracepoint output go into the kernel ring buffer is useless for debugging. But being able to add the tp_printk kernel command line option along with the trace_event= option will have these tracepoints printed as they occur, and that can be really useful for debugging early lock up or reboot problems. This code is not that intrusive and it passed all my tests. Thomas tried them out too and it works for his needs.

2014-12-15tracing: Add tp_printk cmdline to have tracepoints go to printk()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer. Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note, this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl file without the cmdline option will have no affect. Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.
