2011-03-15PM / Hibernate: Reduce autotuned default image sizeRafael J. Wysocki
The hibernate image size autotuning mechanism sets the default image size to 5/2 of the total system RAM, but it is reported that on some systems device drivers allocate substantial amounts of memory during suspend and the creation of the image fails as a result (too little memory is preallocated). Modify the autotuning mechanism to use 1/3 instead of 2/5 of RAM as the default image size, which is reported to be sufficient for the affected systems.

2011-03-15PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PMRafael J. Wysocki
Some subsystems need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. The only way to register such operations is to define a sysdev class and a sysdev specifically for this purpose which is cumbersome and inefficient. Moreover, the arguments taken by sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown callbacks are practically never necessary. For this reason, introduce a simpler interface allowing subsystems to register operations to be executed very late during system suspend and shutdown and very early during resume in the form of strcut syscore_ops objects.

2011-03-15PM: Drop pm_flags that is not necessaryRafael J. Wysocki
The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled along with ACPI, which would lead to problems. However, acpi_init() is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used. Namely, if acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means that ACPI is enabled. Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with ACPI. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2011-03-15PM: Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME)Rafael J. Wysocki
From the users' point of view CONFIG_PM is really only used for making it possible to set CONFIG_SUSPEND, CONFIG_HIBERNATION, CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and (surprisingly enough) CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE (CONFIG_PM_OPP also depends on CONFIG_PM, but quite artificially). However, both CONFIG_SUSPEND and CONFIG_HIBERNATION require platform support (independent of CONFIG_PM) and it is not quite obvious that CONFIG_PM has to be set for CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE to be available. Thus, from the users' point of view, it would be more logical to automatically select CONFIG_PM if any of the above options depending on it are set. Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME), which will cause it to be selected when any of CONFIG_SUSPEND, CONFIG_HIBERNATION, CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE is set and will clarify its meaning.

2011-03-14futex: Deobfuscate handle_futex_death()Thomas Gleixner
handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious. We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not guarantee a R/W mapping. We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is better. Use the helper function which disables page faults around the futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as well.

2011-03-12genirq: Add chip flag to force mask on suspendThomas Gleixner
On suspend we disable all interrupts in the core code, but this does not mask the interrupt line in the default implementation as we use a lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt disabled, but leave the hardware unmasked. That's an optimization because we avoid the hardware access for the common case where no interrupt happens after we marked it disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the interrupt flow handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks it pending. Suspend makes use of this delayed disable as it "disables" all interrupts when preparing the suspend transition. Right before the system goes into hardware suspend state it checks whether one of the interrupts which is marked as a wakeup interrupt came in after disabling it. Most interrupt chips have a separate register which selects the interrupts which can wake up the system from suspend, so we don't have to mask any on the non wakeup interrupts. But now we have to deal with brilliant designed hardware which lacks such a wakeup configuration facility. For such hardware it's necessary to mask all non wakeup interrupts before going into suspend in order to avoid the wakeup from random interrupts. Rather than working around this in the affected interrupt chip implementations we can solve this elegant in the core code itself. Add a flag IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND which can be set by the irq chip implementation to indicate, that the interrupts which are not selected as wakeup sources must be masked in the suspend path. Mask them in the loop which checks the wakeup interrupts pending flag.

2011-03-11futex,plist: Pass the real head of the priority list to plist_del()Lai Jiangshan
Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the priority list. It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking, so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head. But it is undocumented usage: /** * plist_del - Remove a @node from plist. * * @node: &struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed * @head: &struct plist_head pointer - list head */ The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list. In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);", they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all. Thanks to Darren Hart for many suggestions.

2011-03-11futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked APIMichel Lespinasse
The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT. This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue by running fault_in_user_writeable(). This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the original value through a reference argument.

2011-03-10SUNRPC: Close a race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()Trond Myklebust
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation (i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck() and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released. For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(), followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously. This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically. In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between the waiting process and rpciod. The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock, and immediately free up the rpc_task. Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new helper: rpc_put_task_async().

What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies). When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail. The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after the test is done to save space. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-03-10tracing: Explain about unstable clock on resume with ring buffer warningJiri Olsa
The "Delta way too big" warning might appear on a system with a unstable shed clock right after the system is resumed and tracing was enabled at time of suspend. Since it's not realy a bug, and the unstable sched clock is working fast and reliable otherwise, Steven suggested to keep using the sched clock in any case and just to make note in the warning itself. v2 changes: - added #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <20110218145219.GD2604@jolsa.brq.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-03-10tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entrySteven Rostedt
The lock_depth field in the event headers was added as a temporary data point for help in removing the BKL. Now that the BKL is pretty much been removed, we can remove this field. This in turn changes the header from 12 bytes to 8 bytes, removing the 4 byte buffer that gcc would insert if the first field in the data load was 8 bytes in size.

2011-03-09tracing: Add an 'overwrite' trace_option.David Sharp
Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

2011-03-08debugobjects: Add hint for better object identificationStanislaw Gruszka
In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard. Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address (preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along with the debugobjects type. Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

2011-03-08unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare()Al Viro
a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare(); however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might. Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed, provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare(). b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it! Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed. Nick? Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
