The robust list pointers of user space held futexes are kept intact over an exec() call. When the exec'ed task exits exit_robust_list() is called with the stale pointer. The risk of corruption is minimal, but still it is incorrect to keep the pointers valid. Actually glibc should uninstall the robust list before calling exec() but we have to deal with it anyway. Nullify the pointers after [compat_]exit_robust_list() has been called.

Commit f2e21c96 had unfortunate side effects with cpufreq governors on some systems. If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors. Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep the idle time accounting correct in any case.

If futex_wait_requeue_pi() wakes prior to requeue, we drop the reference to the source futex_key twice, once in handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() and once on our way out. Remove the drop from the handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() and keep the get/drops together in futex_wait_requeue_pi().

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 Signed-off-by: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> LKML-Reference: <4AAEDDD5.4040505@osadl.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

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: ... ide-gd driver 1.18 hda: max request size: 512KiB hda: 312581808 sectors (160041 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=19457/255/63 hda: cache flushes supported hda:Unhandled kernel unaligned access[#1]: Cpu 0 $ 0 : 0000000000000000 000000001400c4e1 98000000013699d0 0000000000000000 $ 4 : 0000000000000000 98000000be04f980 0000000000000010 000000007fd78b57 $ 8 : 0000000000000001 0000000000200200 0000000000100100 98000000be00f210 $12 : 000000001400c4e1 000000001000001e ffffffffffffffff 98000000bd0180a8 $16 : 0000000000000000 98000000be04f998 fffffffb81a72600 ffffffff802d3270 $20 : 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffef ffffffff80667a90 $24 : 0000000000000228 ffffffff803ded88 $28 : 98000000be04c000 98000000be04f950 00000000003fffff ffffffff80200404 Hi : 0000000000000000 Lo : 0000000000000320 epc : ffffffff80217194 do_ade+0x298/0x3bc Not tainted ra : ffffffff80200404 ret_from_exception+0x0/0x10 Status: 1400c4e3 KX SX UX KERNEL EXL IE Cause : 00000014 BadVA : fffffffb81a72607 PrId : 00006303 (ICT Loongson-2) Modules linked in: Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=98000000be04c000, task=98000000be04b7d8, tls=0000000000000000) Stack : ffffffff80666f60 ffffffff8025165c 98000000013699d0 0000000000000001 98000000bd00ae30 ffffffff80200404 0000000000000000 000000001400c4e1 000000007fd78b57 98000000013699d0 ffffffff80638070 0000000000000002 fffffffb81a72600 000000007fd78b57 0000000000000001 0000000000200200 0000000000100100 98000000be00f210 98000000be00f220 000000000000001d ffffffffffffffff 98000000bd0180a8 98000000013699d0 0000000000000001 98000000bd00ae30 ffffffff802d3270 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffef ffffffff80667a90 0000000000000228 ffffffff803ded88 98000000bd00ae30 98000000bd00ae30 98000000be04c000 98000000be04fab0 00000000003fffff ffffffff80275350 000000001400c4e3 0000000000000000 ...

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().

Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously: grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l 100 grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l 1172 This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots. This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested. The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints as well.

The cmpxchg used by PowerPC does the following: ({ \ __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o); \ __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n); \ (__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_, \ (unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \ }) This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n. Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC: ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_set': ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_replace': ring_buffer.c:797: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast This patch adds the typecasts inside cmpxchg to annotate that a long is being cast to a pointer and a pointer is being casted to a long and this removes the PowerPC warnings.

This patch changes the way the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are created. It uses the new trace_entries.h file to automate the creation of the format files to ensure that they are always in sync with the actual structures. This is the same methodology used to create the format files for the TRACE_EVENT macro. This also updates the filter creation that was built on the creation of the format files.

Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format file.

The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand. This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync with what is actually shown. This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build the structures so that their formats can be automated and this will keep the structures in sync with what users can see. This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further patches will build off of this to automate the format files. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead, __start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end) so that the space is reclaimed after init. __start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared '__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init. __start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is* read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA. This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.
