2013-08-26cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntaxTejun Heo
cgroup_css_from_dir() will grow another user. In preparation, make the following changes. * All css functions are prefixed with just "css_", rename it to css_from_dir(). * Take dentry * instead of file * as dentry is what ultimately identifies a cgroup and file may not always be available. Note that the function now checkes whether @dentry->d_inode is NULL as the caller now may specify a negative dentry. * Make it take cgroup_subsys * instead of integer subsys_id. This simplifies the function and allows specifying no subsystem for cgroup->dummy_css. * Make return section a bit less verbose. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

2013-08-20rcu: Increase rcutorture test coveragePaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcutorture has separate torture_types to test synchronous, asynchronous, and expedited grace-period primitives. This has two disadvantages: (1) Three times the number of runs to cover the combinations and (2) Little testing of concurrent combinations of the three options. This commit therefore adds a pair of module parameters that control normal and expedited state, with the default being both types, randomly selected, by the fakewriter processes, thus reducing source-code size and increasing test coverage.

2013-08-20module: Add flag to allow mod params to have no argumentsSteven Rostedt
Currently the params.c code allows only two "set" functions to have no arguments. If a parameter does not have an argument, then it looks at the set function and tests if it is either param_set_bool() or param_set_bint(). If it is not one of these functions, then it fails the loading of the module. But there may be module parameters that have different set functions and still allow no arguments. But unless each of these cases adds their function to the if statement, it wont be allowed to have no arguments. This method gets rather messing and does not scale. Instead, introduce a flags field to the kernel_param_ops, where if the flag KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG is set, the parameter will not fail if it does not contain an argument. It will be expected that the corresponding set function can handle a NULL pointer as "val". Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

This leads to oops on event registration. Fix it by using the css matching the event target file. Note that cgroup_write_event_control() now disallows cgroup core files from being event sources.

2013-08-19cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroupTejun Heo
105347ba5 ("cgroup: make cgroup_file_open() rcu_read_lock() around cgroup_css() and add cfent->css") added cfent->css to cache the associted cgroup_subsys_state across file operations. A cfent is associated with single css throughout its lifetime and the origimal commit initialized the cache pointer during cgroup_add_file() and verified that it matches the actual one in cgroup_file_open(). While this works fine for !root cgroups, it's broken for root cgroups as files in a root cgroup are created before the css's are associated with the cgroup and thus cgroup_css() call in cgroup_add_file() returns NULL associating all cfents in the root cgroup with NULL css. This makes cgroup_file_open() trigger WARN and fail with -ENODEV for all !core subsystem files in the root cgroups. There's no reason to initialize cfent->css separately from cgroup_add_file(). As the association never changes, cgroup_file_open() can set it unconditionally every time and containing the logic in cgroup_file_open() makes more sense anyway as the only reason it's necessary is file->private_data being already occupied.

2013-08-19nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle statePaul E. McKenney
This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle, where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy. The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required for these fields. So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be non-idle? It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode execution, it is not a full-system idle state. This is because the purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled. Whenever accurate timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going. If even one CPU is executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel. Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt, thus greatly improving energy efficiency. This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure to efficiently make this determination.

Freq events may not always be affine to a particular CPU. As such, account_event_cpu() may crash if we account per cpu a freq event that has event->cpu == -1. To solve this, lets account freq events globally. In practice this doesn't change much the picture because perf tools create per-task perf events with one event per CPU by default. Profiling a single CPU is usually a corner case so there is no much point in optimizing things that way.

When we fail to allocate the callchain buffers, we roll back the refcount we did and return from get_callchain_buffers(). However we take the refcount and allocate under the callchain lock but the rollback is done outside the lock. As a result, while we roll back, some concurrent callchain user may call get_callchain_buffers(), see the non-zero refcount and give up because the buffers are NULL without itself retrying the allocation.

2013-08-16nohz: Include local CPU in full dynticks global kickFrederic Weisbecker
tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before re-evaluating the need for the tick. Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many() that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate the tick. on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario. So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all() so that the usual irq work takes care of it.

2013-08-16sched/cputime: Use this_cpu_add() in task_group_account_field()Christoph Lameter
Use of a this_cpu() operation reduces the number of instructions used for accounting (account_user_time()) and frees up some registers. This is in the scheduler tick hotpath.

2013-08-16cpumask: Fix cpumask leak in partition_sched_domains()Xiaotian Feng
If doms_new is NULL, partition_sched_domains() will reset ndoms_cur to 0, and free old sched domains with free_sched_domains(doms_cur, ndoms_cur). As ndoms_cur is 0, the cpumask will not be freed.

2013-08-16cgroup: use css_get() in cgroup_create() to check CSS_ROOTLi Zhong
It seems that the root css doesn't have refcnt allocated(not needed?), and would cause the booting error attached. This patch tries to use css_get() to not increase the refcnt if parent is root.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/nohz Pull nohz improvements from Frederic Weisbecker: " It mostly contains fixes and full dynticks off-case optimizations. I believe that distros want to enable this feature so it seems important to optimize the case where the "nohz_full=" parameter is empty. ie: I'm trying to remove any performance regression that comes with NO_HZ_FULL=y when the feature is not used. This patchset improves the current situation a lot (off-case appears to be around 11% faster with hackbench, although I guess it may vary depending on the configuration but it should be significantly faster in any case) now there is still some work to do: I can still observe a remaining loss of 1.6% throughput seen with hackbench compared to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n.
