      tracing: Add histograms of potential and effective wakeup latencies · cc2fa446
      Carsten Emde authored
      Resuscitated and enhanced the kernel latency histograms provided
      originally by Yi Yang and adapted and converted by Steven Rostedt.
      
      Latency histograms in the current version
      - can be enabled online and independently
      - have virtually no performance penalty when configured but not enabled
      - have very little performance penalty when enabled
      - use already available wakeup and switch tracepoints
      - give corresponding results with the related tracer
      - allow to record wakeup latency histograms of a single process
      - record the process where the highest wakeup latency occurred 
      - are documented in Documentation/trace/histograms.txt

      mm: Fix the non-RT version of swap_get_cpu_var · edc1a1c3
      Wu Zhangjin authored
      The commit(f8382688) have converted swap to percpu locked, the
      non-RT version of swap_get_cpu_var should be the same as the old
      implementation, but in reality, it not works as the old one:
      
      ...
      +#define swap_get_cpu_var(var, cpu)                     \
      +       ({                                              \
      +               (void)cpu;                              \
      +               &get_cpu_var(var);                      \
      +        })
      ...
       void __lru_cache_add(struct page *page, enum lru_list lru)
       {
      -       struct pagevec *pvec = &get_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs)[lru];
      +       struct pagevec *pvec;
      +       int cpu;
      
      +       pvec = swap_get_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs, cpu)[lru];
              page_cache_get(page);
              if (!pagevec_add(pvec, page))
                      ____pagevec_lru_add(pvec, lru);
      -       put_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs);
      +       swap_put_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs, cpu);
       }
      
      Here is the point, the old version:
      
            pvec = &get_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs)[lru];
           	   = & (get_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs)[lru]);
      
      new version from commit f8382688:
      
            pvec = ({ (void)cpu; &get_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs); })[lru];
                 = (&get_cpu_var(lru_add_pvecs)) [lru];
      
      so, we can see, these two are really different. and it made the non-RT boot
      fail:

      This patch will keep the swap_get_cpu_var as the one before commit f8382688,
      and put "(void)cpu;" to swap_put_cpu_var() to avoid warning about unused
      variable.

      We know already which code pathes trigger this so we can safely
      disable it again and just keep the early return when mask == 0.

      kvm: Move get_cpu inside of spinlocked region in make_all_cpus_request() · b079dc12
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      kvm->requests_lock is a sleeping lock in RT, but it's locked inside
      the preempt disabled region of get_cpu(). Move the get_cpu() region
      inside the spinlocked region to avoid the might sleep warning.

      unconditionally when it is write locked. Check read_depth if current
      owns the lock. If it's 0 we know it is write locked and return 0.

      perf_counter: Fix buffer overflow in perf_copy_attr() · 0188eb59
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      If we pass a big size data over perf_counter_open() syscall,
      the kernel will copy this data to a small buffer, it will
      cause kernel crash.
      
      This bug makes the kernel unsafe and non-root local user can
      trigger it.

      time: Prevent 32 bit overflow with set_normalized_timespec() · f7ada8bf
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      set_normalized_timespec() nsec argument is of type long. The recent
      timekeeping changes of ktime_get_ts() feed
      
      	ts->tv_nsec + tomono.tv_nsec + nsecs
      
      to set_normalized_timespec(). On 32 bit machines that sum can be
      larger than (1 << 31) and therefor result in a negative value which
      screws up the result completely.
      
      Make the nsec argument of set_normalized_timespec() s64 to fix the
      problem at hand. This also prevents similar problems for future users
      of set_normalized_timespec().
