Rename the update_timers*() functions to update_watchdog*().

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.

2015-04-14watchdog: implement error handling for failure to set up hardware perf eventsUlrich Obergfell
If watchdog_nmi_enable() fails to set up the hardware perf event of one CPU, the entire hard lockup detector is deemed unreliable. Hence, disable the hard lockup detector and shut down the hardware perf events on all CPUs.

2015-04-14watchdog: introduce separate handlers for parameters in /proc/sys/kernelUlrich Obergfell

2015-04-14watchdog: introduce proc_watchdog_common()Ulrich Obergfell
Three of four handlers for the watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel essentially have to do the same thing. if the parameter is being read { return the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled' } else { set/clear the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled' update the run state of the lockup detector(s) } Hence, introduce a common function that can be called by those handlers. The callers pass a 'bit mask' to this function to indicate which bit(s) should be set/cleared in 'watchdog_enabled'. This function handles an uncommon race with watchdog_nmi_enable() where a concurrent update of 'watchdog_enabled' is possible. We use 'cmpxchg' to detect the concurrency. [This avoids introducing a new spinlock or a mutex to synchronize updates of 'watchdog_enabled'. Using the same lock or mutex in watchdog thread context and in system call context needs to be considered carefully because it can make the code prone to deadlock situations in connection with parking/unparking the watchdog threads.] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-04-14watchdog: new definitions and variables, initializationUlrich Obergfell
The hardlockup and softockup had always been tied together. Due to the request of KVM folks, they had a need to have one enabled but not the other. Internally rework the code to split things apart more cleanly. There is a bunch of churn here, but the end result should be code that should be easier to maintain and fix without knowing the internals of what is going on. This patch (of 9): Introduce new definitions and variables to separate the user interface in /proc/sys/kernel from the internal run state of the lockup detectors. The internal run state is represented by two bits in a new variable that is named 'watchdog_enabled'. This helps simplify the code, for example: - In order to check if any of the two lockup detectors is enabled, it is sufficient to check if 'watchdog_enabled' is not zero. - In order to enable/disable one or both lockup detectors, it is sufficient to set/clear one or both bits in 'watchdog_enabled'. - Concurrent updates of 'watchdog_enabled' need not be synchronized via a spinlock or a mutex. Updates can either be atomic or concurrency can be detected by using 'cmpxchg'.

2015-04-08Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunksLinus Torvalds
Unlike most (all?) other copies from user space, kernel module loading is almost unlimited in size. So we do a potentially huge "copy_from_user()" when we copy the module data from user space to the kernel buffer, which can be a latency concern when preemption is disabled (or voluntary). Also, because 'copy_from_user()' clears the tail of the kernel buffer on failures, even a *failed* copy can end up wasting a lot of time. Normally neither of these are concerns in real life, but they do trigger when doing stress-testing with trinity. Running in a VM seems to add its own overheadm causing trinity module load testing to even trigger the watchdog. The simple fix is to just chunk up the module loading, so that it never tries to copy insanely big areas in one go. That bounds the latency, and also the amount of (unnecessarily, in this case) cleared memory for the failure case.

2015-04-08genirq: Allow the irqchip state of an IRQ to be save/restoredMarc Zyngier
There is a number of cases where a kernel subsystem may want to introspect the state of an interrupt at the irqchip level: - When a peripheral is shared between virtual machines, its interrupt state becomes part of the guest's state, and must be switched accordingly. KVM on arm/arm64 requires this for its guest-visible timer - Some GPIO controllers seem to require peeking into the interrupt controller they are connected to to report their internal state This seem to be a pattern that is common enough for the core code to try and support this without too many horrible hacks. Introduce a pair of accessors (irq_get_irqchip_state/irq_set_irqchip_state) to retrieve the bits that can be of interest to another subsystem: pending, active, and masked. - irq_get_irqchip_state returns the state of the interrupt according to a parameter set to IRQCHIP_STATE_PENDING, IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE, IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED or IRQCHIP_STATE_LINE_LEVEL. - irq_set_irqchip_state similarly sets the state of the interrupt.

2015-04-07mm: numa: disable change protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB)Naoya Horiguchi
Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with PROTNONE, unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb subsystem into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example h->resv_huge_pages is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very large number, and the free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable. This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix the problem. And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor faults.

2015-04-03time, drivers/rtc: Don't bother with rtc_resume() for the nonstop clocksourceXunlei Pang
If a system does not provide a persistent_clock(), the time will be updated on resume by rtc_resume(). With the addition of the non-stop clocksources for suspend timing, those systems set the time on resume in timekeeping_resume(), but may not provide a valid persistent_clock(). This results in the rtc_resume() logic thinking no one has set the time and it then will over-write the suspend time again, which is not necessary and only increases clock error. So, fix this for rtc_resume(). This patch also improves the name of persistent_clock_exist to make it more grammatical.

2015-04-03time: Fix a bug in timekeeping_suspend() with no persistent clockXunlei Pang
When there's no persistent clock, normally timekeeping_suspend_time should always be zero, but this can break in timekeeping_suspend(). At T1, there was a system suspend, so old_delta was assigned T1. After some time, one time adjustment happened, and xtime got the value of T1-dt(0s<dt<2s). Then, there comes another system suspend soon after this adjustment, obviously we will get a small negative delta_delta, resulting in a negative timekeeping_suspend_time. This is problematic, when doing timekeeping_resume() if there is no nonstop clocksource for example, it will hit the else leg and inject the improper sleeptime which is the wrong logic. So, we can solve this problem by only doing delta related code when the persistent clock is existent. Actually the code only makes sense for persistent clock cases.

2015-04-02timer: Allocate per-cpu tvec_base's staticallyPeter Zijlstra
Memory for the 'tvec_base' array is allocated separately for the boot CPU (statically) and non-boot CPUs (dynamically). The reason is because __TIMER_INITIALIZER() needs to set ->base to a valid pointer (because we've made NULL special, hint: lock_timer_base()) and we cannot get a compile time pointer to per-cpu entries because we don't know where we'll map the section, even for the boot cpu. This can be simplified a bit by statically allocating per-cpu memory. The only disadvantage is that memory for one of the structures will stay unused, i.e. for the boot CPU, which uses boot_tvec_bases. This will also guarantee that tvec_base is cacheline aligned. Even though tvec_base has ____cacheline_aligned stuck on, kzalloc_node() does not actually respect that (but guarantees a minimum u64 alignment).
