When sleep_time is off the function profiler ignores the time that a task
is scheduled out. When the task is scheduled out a timestamp is taken.
When the task is scheduled back in, the timestamp is compared to the
current time and the saved calltimes are adjusted accordingly.
But when stopping the function profiler, the sched switch hook that
does this adjustment was stopped before shutting down the tracer.
This allowed some tasks to not get their timestamps set when they
scheduled out. When the function profiler started again, this would
skew the times of the scheduler functions.
This patch moves the stopping of the sched switch to after the function
profiler is stopped. It also ignores zero set calltimes, which may
happen on start up.

When combined with function graph tracing the ftrace function profiler
also prints the average run time of functions. While this gives us some
good information, it doesn't tell us anything about the variance of the
run times of the function. This change prints out the s^2 sample
standard deviation alongside the average.
This change adds one entry to the profile record structure. This
increases the memory footprint of the function profiler by 1/3 on a
32-bit system, and by 1/5 on a 64-bit system when function graphing is
enabled, though the memory is only allocated when the profiler is turned
on. During the profiling, one extra line of code adds the squared
calltime to the new record entry, so this should not adversly affect
performance.
Note that the square of the sample standard deviation is printed because
there is no sqrt implementation for unsigned long long in the kernel.

With the addition of the "missed events" flags that is stored in the
commit field of the ring buffer page, the ring_buffer_benchmark
was not updated to handle this. If events are missed, then the
missed events flag is set in the ring buffer page, the benchmark
will count that flag as part of the size of the page and will hit the BUG()
when it tries to read beyond the page.
The solution is simply to have the ring buffer benchmark mask off
the extra bits.

When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is
performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing.
This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open
up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus.
Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is
desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we
transform the existing sequence:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(),
into the following:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_prepare();
}
ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync();
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to
do the synchronize_sched().
The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter'
memory and increments ->record_disabled.
In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this
->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus.
And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset
the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that
none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more.
This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a
sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing.

Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
in the context of a task wake-up:
a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that
the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our
wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the
domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently
woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran.
b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is
currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run
cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check
for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently.
c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but
with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up
on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran
and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on
wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause
an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the
periodic load balancer.
Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using
wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu,
then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.

Chase reported that due to us decrementing calc_load_task prematurely
(before the next LOAD_FREQ sample), the load average could be scewed
by as much as the number of CPUs in the machine.
This patch, based on Chase's patch, cures the problem by keeping the
delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately and folding that in
on the next LOAD_FREQ update.
This restores the balance and we get strict LOAD_FREQ period samples.

Due to recent load-balancer changes that delay the task migration to
the next wakeup, the adaptive mutex spinning ends up in a live lock
when the owner's CPU gets offlined because the cpu_online() check
lives before the owner running check.
This patch changes mutex_spin_on_owner() to return 0 (don't spin) in
any case where we aren't sure about the owner struct validity or CPU
number, and if the said CPU is offline. There is no point going back &
re-evaluate spinning in corner cases like that, let's just go to
sleep.

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.
The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be
tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look
like:
CRED: Invalid credentials
CRED: At include/linux/cred.h:240
CRED: Specified credentials: ffff88003dda5878 [real][eff]
CRED: ->magic=43736564, put_addr=(null)

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.
v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

Patch 570b8fb505896e007fd3bb07573ba6640e51851d:
Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: Tue Mar 30 00:04:00 2010 +0100
Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling
attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending
return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a
kfree(tgcred) is inserted.
This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by
virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.

The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable. Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.
This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero. In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion
on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel.
The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we
have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs.
There are two side effects of this:
- we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give
us the desired result.
- if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the
user context. We want to actually ignore the event.
get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so
use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows
when an event must be ignored.

Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.
This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
down with a growing number of events running on the same
contexts.
To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
they trigger.
v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic
maths along the way)
- Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the
refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it
if needed when it becomes online.
- Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore.
v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to
Eric Dumazet who spotted this.
- While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path
to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

The comment suggests that this usage is stale. There is no bkl in the
exec path so if there is a race lurking there, the bkl in ptrace is
not going to help in this regard.
Overview of the possibility of "accidental" races this bkl might
protect:
- ptrace_traceme() is protected against task removal and concurrent
read/write on current->ptrace as it locks write tasklist_lock.
- arch_ptrace_attach() is serialized by ptrace_traceme() against
concurrent PTRACE_TRACEME or PTRACE_ATTACH
- ptrace_attach() is protected the same way ptrace_traceme() and
in turn serializes arch_ptrace_attach()
- ptrace_check_attach() does its own well described serializing too.
There is no obvious race here.

sched_getaffinity(0, 16, 0x10029650030) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
This box has 128 threads and 16 bytes is enough to cover it.
Commit cd3d8031eb4311e516329aee03c79a08333141f1 (sched:
sched_getaffinity(): Allow less than NR_CPUS length) is
comparing this 16 bytes agains nr_cpu_ids.
Fix it by comparing nr_cpu_ids to the number of bits in the
cpumask we pass in.

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.
Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.
Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.

Locking statistics are implemented using global atomic
variables. This is usually fine unless some path write them very
often.
This is the case for the function and function graph tracers
that disable irqs for each entry saved (except if the function
tracer is in preempt disabled only mode).
And calls to local_irq_save/restore() increment
hardirqs_on_events and hardirqs_off_events stats (or similar
stats for redundant versions).
Incrementing these global vars for each function ends up in too
much cache bouncing if lockstats are enabled.
To solve this, implement the debug_atomic_*() operations using
per cpu vars.
-v2: Use per_cpu() instead of get_cpu_var() to fetch the desired
cpu vars on debug_atomic_read()
-v3: Store the stats in a structure. No need for local_t as we
are NMI/irq safe.
-v4: Fix tons of build errors. I thought I had tested it but I
probably forgot to select the relevant config.

There have been a number of reports of people seeing the message:
"name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:05, inode=3185"
in dmesg. These usually lead to people reporting problems to the filesystem
group who are in turn clueless what they mean.
Eventually someone finds me and I explain what is going on and that
these come from the audit system. The basics of the problem is that the
audit subsystem never expects a single syscall to 'interact' (for some
wish washy meaning of interact) with more than 20 inodes. But in fact
some operations like loading kernel modules can cause changes to lots of
inodes in debugfs.
There are a couple real fixes being bandied about including removing the
fixed compile time limit of 20 or not auditing changes in debugfs (or
both) but neither are small and obvious so I am not sending them for
immediate inclusion (I hope Al forwards a real solution next devel
window).
In the meantime this patch simply adds 'audit' to the beginning of the
crap message so if a user sees it, they come blame me first and we can
talk about what it means and make sure we understand all of the reasons
it can happen and make sure this gets solved correctly in the long run.
