Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the
unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file. Because the old nmi
watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the
unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost. This re-adds it.
Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its
documentation updated accordingly.

Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this
solves a problem with kexec where the new kernel doesn't expect
running counters (rightly so).
It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a
kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that
would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not
properly structured to deal with new state.
As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last
position in the list.

* 'pm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6:
PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swap
PM / Hibernate: Use async I/O when reading compressed hibernation image
|
|
There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of
a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents
of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the
kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory
corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on
systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often.
This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear
in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the
saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or
the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose
it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and
suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask.
This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

This is a fix for reading LZO compressed image using async I/O.
Essentially, instead of having just one page into which we keep
reading blocks from swap, we allocate enough of them to cover the
largest compressed size and then let block I/O pick them all up. Once
we have them all (and here we wait), we decompress them, as usual.
Obviously, the very first block we still pick up synchronously,
because we need to know the size of the lot before we pick up the
rest.
Also fixed the copyright line, which I've forgotten before.

Use text_poke_smp_batch() in optimization path for reducing
the number of stop_machine() issues. If the number of optimizing
probes is more than MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES(=256), kprobes optimizes
first MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES probes and kicks optimizer for
remaining probes.
Changes in v5:
- Use kick_kprobe_optimizer() instead of directly calling
schedule_delayed_work().
- Rescheduling optimizer outside of kprobe mutex lock.
Changes in v2:
- Allocate code buffer and parameters in arch_init_kprobes()
instead of using static arraies.
- Merge previous max optimization limit patch into this patch.
So, this patch introduces upper limit of optimization at
once.

Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled,
and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using
stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and
unoptimize several probes at once by using
text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown
coming from stop_machine().
Changes in v5:
- Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch.
- Fix some text_mutex lock miss.
- Use bool instead of int for behavior flags.
- Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path.
Changes in v2:
- Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.

Originally, "old_p" just meant "the old kprobe on given address"
but current code uses that name as "just another kprobe" or

events
If perf_event_attr.sample_id_all is set it will add the PERF_SAMPLE_ identity
info:
TID, TIME, ID, CPU, STREAM_ID
As a trailer, so that older perf tools can process new files, just ignoring the
extra payload.
With this its possible to do further analysis on problems in the event stream,
like detecting reordering of MMAP and FORK events, etc.

account different sample_types for each matching event, noticed by Thomas Gleixner.
Thomas also noticed a problem in v2 where if we didn't had space in the buffer we

If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
otherwise reset before do_exit(). do_exit may later (via mm_release in
fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
worth fixing. I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
I've tested that this is not theoretical.
A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
every architecture, in multiple places.
Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.

Since commit a1afb637(switch /proc/irq/*/spurious to seq_file) all
/proc/irq/XX/spurious files show the information of irq 0.
Current irq_spurious_proc_open() passes on NULL as the 3rd argument,
which is used as an IRQ number in irq_spurious_proc_show(), to the
single_open(). Because of this, all the /proc/irq/XX/spurious file
shows IRQ 0 information regardless of the IRQ number.
To fix the problem, irq_spurious_proc_open() must pass on the
appropreate data (IRQ number) to single_open().

The file_ops struct for the "trace" special file defined llseek as seq_lseek().
However, if the file was opened for writing only, seq_open() was not called,
and the seek would dereference a null pointer, file->private_data.
This patch introduces a new wrapper for seq_lseek() which checks if the file
descriptor is opened for reading first. If not, it does nothing.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

This patch fixes a hang observed with 2.6.32 kernels where timers got enqueued
on offline cpus.
printk_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu, will
call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). That function in turn will call
printk_needs_cpu() in order to check if the local tick can be disabled. On
offline cpus this function should naturally return 0 since regardless if the
tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be dead short after. That is besides the
fact that __cpu_disable() should already have made sure that no interrupts on
the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.
In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued. If
printk_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might be
other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in
case a cpu goes offline.
Easiest way to fix this is just to test if the current cpu is offline and call
printk_tick() directly which clears the condition.
Alternatively I tried a cpu hotplug notifier which would clear the condition,
however between calling the notifier function and printk_needs_cpu() something
could have called printk() again and the problem is back again. This seems to
be the safest fix.

wake_up_klogd() may get called from preemptible context but uses
__raw_get_cpu_var() to write to a per cpu variable. If it gets preempted
between getting the address and writing to it, the cpu in question could be
offline if the process gets scheduled back and hence writes to the per cpu data
of an offline cpu.
This buggy behaviour was introduced with fa33507a "printk: robustify
printk, fix #2" which was supposed to fix a "using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible" warning.
Let's use this_cpu_write() instead which disables preemption and makes sure
that the outlined scenario cannot happen.

Stephane noticed that because the perf_sw_event() call is inside the
perf_event_task_sched_out() call it won't get called unless we
have a per-task counter.

It was found that sometimes children of tasks with inherited events had
one extra event. Eventually it turned out to be due to the list rotation
no being exclusive with the list iteration in the inheritance code.
Cure this by temporarily disabling the rotation while we inherit the events.

This reverts commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

This adds a new trace event internal flag that allows them to be
used in perf by non privileged users in case of task bound tracing.
This is desired for syscalls tracepoint because they don't leak
global system informations, like some other tracepoints.

The compiler warned us about:
kernel/irq_work.c: In function 'irq_work_run':
kernel/irq_work.c:148: warning: value computed is not used
Dropping the cmpxchg() result is indeed weird, but correct -
so annotate away the warning.

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task
leads to a few funny side effects.
There's two different aspects to this:
- kernel based perf-events, these should not take out
a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's
event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible
to userspace.
- fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating
task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless)
but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed.
Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints.
Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the
owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.
