* sched: don't allow rt_runtime_us to be zero for groups having rt tasksDhaval Giani2008-03-071-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | This patch checks if we can set the rt_runtime_us to 0. If there is a realtime task in the group, we don't want to set the rt_runtime_us as 0 or bad things will happen. (that task wont get any CPU time despite being TASK_RUNNNG) Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* sched: rt-group: fixup schedulability constraints calculationPeter Zijlstra2008-03-071-7/+3Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | it was only possible to configure the rt-group scheduling parameters beyond the default value in a very small range. that's because div64_64() has a different calling convention than do_div() :/ fix a few untidies while we are here; sysctl_sched_rt_period may overflow due to that multiplication, so cast to u64 first.

* sched: balance RT task resched only on runqueueSteven Rostedt2008-03-071-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674 this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the current task. There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance). During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can migrate to another runqueue. In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock for the runqueue that the task is on. This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling resched_task.

* | freezer vs stopped or tracedRoland McGrath2008-03-042-19/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* exit_notify: fix kill_orphaned_pgrp() usage with mt exitOleg Nesterov2008-03-031-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we should do this only when the whole process exits. 2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong. Use ->group_leader instead. Test case: void hup(int sig) { printf("HUP received\n"); } void *tfunc(void *arg) { sleep(2); printf("sub-thread exited\n"); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (!fork()) { signal(SIGHUP, hup); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); exit(0); } pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL); sleep(1); printf("main thread exited\n"); syscall(__NR_exit, 0); return 0; } output: main thread exited HUP received Hangup With this patch the output is: main thread exited sub-thread exited HUP received Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* will_become_orphaned_pgrp: partially fix insufficient ->exit_state checkOleg Nesterov2008-03-031-9/+8Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)" instead. Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process if the main thread has exited. However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits, but thread_group_empty() is not true yet. As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not dare to do other changes. Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues. Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread. The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* [PATCH] drop EOE records from printkSteve Grubb2008-03-011-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | Hi, While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE (end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog. Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

* [RFC] AUDIT: do not panic when printk loses messagesEric Paris2008-03-011-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic. This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules. These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come through while auditd is stopped. This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try? At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will eventually know that things went bad. The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk this code path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a potentially invalid access to a per-CPU variable in rcu_process_callbacks(). This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the value accessed have completed. Even though this code is currently only invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such an assumption.

* Add memory barrier semantics to wake_up() & coLinus Torvalds2008-02-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures, the traditional sequence of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (CONDITION) return; schedule(); is racy wrt another CPU doing CONDITION = 1; wake_up_process(p); because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side. Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier, but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock. However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old state). This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the spinlock already gave the required protection).

* futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionalityThomas Gleixner2008-02-242-4/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the futex init code fails to initialize the futex pseudo file system it returns early without initializing the hash queues. Should the boot succeed then a futex syscall which tries to enqueue a waiter on the hashqueue will crash due to the unitilialized plist heads. Initialize the hash queues before the filesystem.

* PM: Introduce PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE callback stateRafael J. Wysocki2008-02-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices' ->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4 system sleep state. But at least for some devices the operations performed by the ->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations during regular suspend. For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way. These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* genirq: do not leave interupts enabled on free_irqThomas Gleixner2008-02-191-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default_disable() function was changed in commit: 76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21 genirq: do not mask interrupts by default It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was removed, which can result in spurious interrupts. Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a shutdown nor a disable function.
