87ffbe6 cris: correct syscall numbers in unistd.h for timerfd_settime and timerfd_gettime Last commit for unistd was not correct, it only had a partial update of syscall numbers for __NR_timerfd_settime and __NR_timerfd_gettime. Also, NR_syscalls was not incremented for the new syscalls.

07f2402 cris: correct usage of __user for copy to and from user space in lib/usercopy and uaccess.h Function __copy_user_zeroing in arch/lib/usercopy.c had the wrong parameter set as __user, and in include/asm-cris/uaccess.h, it was not set at all for some of the calling functions. This will cut the number of warnings quite dramatically when using sparse. While we're here, remove useless CVS log and correct confusing typo.

fb59e9f memcg: fix oops on NULL lru list While testing force_empty, during an exit_mmap, __mem_cgroup_remove_list called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page oopsed on a NULL pointer in the lru list. I couldn't see what racing tasks on other cpus were doing, but surmise that another must have been in mem_cgroup_charge_common on the same page, between its unlock_page_cgroup and spin_lock_irqsave near done (thanks to that kzalloc which I'd almost changed to a kmalloc). Normally such a race cannot happen, the ref_cnt prevents it, the final uncharge cannot race with the initial charge. But force_empty buggers the ref_cnt, that's what it's all about; and thereafter forced pages are vulnerable to races such as this (just think of a shared page also mapped into an mm of another mem_cgroup than that just emptied). And remain vulnerable until they're freed indefinitely later. This patch just fixes the oops by moving the unlock_page_cgroups down below adding to and removing from the list (only possible given the previous patch); and while we're at it, we might as well make it an invariant that page->page_cgroup is always set while pc is on lru. But this behaviour of force_empty seems highly unsatisfactory to me: why have a ref_cnt if we always have to cope with it being violated (as in the earlier page migration patch). We may prefer force_empty to move pages to an orphan mem_cgroup (could be the root, but better not), from which other cgroups could recover them; we might need to reverse the locking again; but no time now for such concerns.

9b3c0a0 memcg: simplify force_empty and move_lists As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler. It is possible to make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing page_cgroups by itself. The tip is to call get_page() before invoking mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this function. Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges, the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the same as when it hasn't gone to another list. And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock, mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).

2680eed memcg: fix mem_cgroup_move_lists locking Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines, sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last. The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole independently. The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for comments on the constraints. This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we need to come back to it later?

6d48ff8 memcg: css_put after remove_list mem_cgroup_uncharge_page does css_put on the mem_cgroup before uncharging from it, and before removing page_cgroup from one of its lru lists: isn't there a danger that struct mem_cgroup memory could be freed and reused before completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be defensive and reverse the ordering there. mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help get in the habit of doing it like this.

b9c565d memcg: remove clear_page_cgroup and atomics Remove clear_page_cgroup: it's an unhelpful helper, see for example how mem_cgroup_uncharge_page had to unlock_page_cgroup just in order to call it (serious races from that? I'm not sure). Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?). Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

7e924aa memcg: mem_cgroup_charge never NULL My memcgroup patch to fix hang with shmem/tmpfs added NULL page handling to mem_cgroup_charge_common. It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance hit was observed from the slight extra overhead. So revert that NULL page handling from mem_cgroup_charge_common; and make it clearer by bringing page_cgroup_assign_new_page_cgroup into its body - that was a helper I found more of a hindrance to understanding.

9442ec9 memcg: bad page if page_cgroup when free Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused. Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.

98837c7 memcg: fix VM_BUG_ON from page migration Page migration gave me free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON page->page_cgroup. remove_migration_pte was calling mem_cgroup_charge on the new page whenever it found a swap pte, before it had determined it to be a migration entry. That left a surplus reference count on the page_cgroup, so it was still attached when the page was later freed. Move that mem_cgroup_charge down to where we're sure it's a migration entry. We were already under i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock, so its GFP_KERNEL was already inappropriate: change that to GFP_ATOMIC. It's essential that remove_migration_pte removes all the migration entries, other crashes follow if not. So proceed even when the charge fails: normally it cannot, but after a mem_cgroup_force_empty it might - comment in the code.

9fe3fd0 CRIS: Import string.c (memcpy) from newlib: fixes compile error with gcc 4 Adrian Bunk reported another compile error with a SVN head GCC: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.o /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:139: error: lvalue required as increment operand ... This is due to the use of the construct: *((long*)dst)++ = lc; Which isn't legal since casts don't return an lvalue. The solution is to import the implementation from newlib, which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline, and uses the construct: *(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4; Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors. As for the earlier fix for memset.c, even if the two files for CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version. Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not until we've done some research on it.

be85279 alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu data Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were very surprising. For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use percpu data pcpu_lstats = netdev_priv(dev); lb_stats = per_cpu_ptr(pcpu_lstats, smp_processor_id()); lb_stats->packets++; /* HERE : serious contention */ lb_stats->bytes += skb->len; struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line, instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line. Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks ( 6 % in tbench) (all percpu_counters hit this bug too) Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or merging the SGI stuff of course... Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched to SLUB.

13b1c3d freezer vs stopped or traced This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states. As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks from doing anything significant. For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough". It's possible the tasks might resume from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals (including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc). But this doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is in effect. Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of stop. This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested. Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them. It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

33f9c50 KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loaded KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example, MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by setup_msrs(). However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with guest msr state: - switch to guest msr state - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded. The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel. Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list.

f7d9c7b KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pte For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> 04 March 2008, 13:19:49 UTC
