Initially I needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock. That however is fixed these days. Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement hrtimer_start_on(). However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes that does seem to be supported, good. Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ... Mihai reported test success as well.

Fix inc_rt_tasks() to not declare variable 'rq' if it's not needed. It is declared if CONFIG_SMP or CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED, but only used if CONFIG_SMP.

This goes on top of the cpu_active_map (take 2) patch. Currently we depend on the stop_machine to provide nescessesary synchronization for the cpu_active_map updates. As Dmitry Adamushko pointed this is fragile and is not much clearer than the previous scheme. In other words we do not want to depend on the internal stop machine operation here. So make the synchronization rules clear by doing synchronize_sched() after clearing out cpu active bit. Tested on quad-Core2 with: while true; do for i in 1 2 3; do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online done for i in 1 2 3; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online done done and stress -c 200 No lockdep, preempt or other complaints.

This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going down. It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling. Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too. Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one). This not only boots but also easily handles while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done and while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done at the same time. (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing). Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine. Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep, mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far. I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus' version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus. And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler code where it made sense (to me).

make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions. We've already got a sizable list of exceptions: ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE # Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg # Also do not profile any debug utilities CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg endif ... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing hard to debug lockups. So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced by commit b2b2cbc4. When a parent ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have done earlier if ptrace had not been in use. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb1 "do_wait: fix security checks". That change reverted the effect of commit 73243284. The rationale for the original commit still stands. The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way invalidates its purpose. This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait() (usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure. A permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced list instead. There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped() was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we already know this won't cause any new problems. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

This breaks out the guts of do_wait into three subfunctions. The control flow is less nonobvious without so much goto. do_wait_thread and ptrace_do_wait contain the main work of the outer loop. wait_consider_task contains the main work of the inner loop.
