This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or not (default enabled) o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case. o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones registered in the intervening period) will be enabled o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally enabled or not. o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there also update the doc to make it current. We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling feature provided by this patch.

- consolidate duplicate code in all arch_prepare_kretprobe instances into common code - replace various odd helpers that use hlist_for_each_entry to get the first elemenet of a list with either a hlist_for_each_entry_save or an opencoded access to the first element in the caller - inline add_rp_inst into it's only remaining caller - use kretprobe_inst_table_head instead of opencoding it Signed-off-by:

This fixes a common glitch in how RTC drivers handle two "set alarm" modes, by getting rid of the surprising/hidden one that was rarely implemented correctly (and which could expose nonportable hardware-specific behavior). The glitch comes from the /dev/rtcX logic implementing the legacy RTC_ALM_SET (limited to 24 hours, needing RTC_AIE_ON) ioctl on top of the RTC driver call providing access to the newer RTC_WKALM_SET (without those limitations) by initializing the day/month/year fields to be invalid ... that second mode. Now, since few RTC drivers check those fields, and most hardware misbehaves when faced with invalid date fields, many RTC drivers will set bogus alarm times on those RTC_ALM_SET code paths. (Several in-tree drivers have that issue, and I also noticed it with code reviews on several new RTC drivers.) This patch ensures that RTC drivers never see such invalid alarm fields, by moving some logic out of rtc-omap into the RTC_ALM_SET code and adding an explicit check (which will prevent the issue on other code paths).

David says "884b4aaa should be reverted. It added an rtc_merge_alarm() call to the 2.6.20 kernel, which hasn't yet been used by any in-tree driver; this patch obviates the need for that call, and uses a more robust approach."

This works around a bug seen in some RTC-related ACPI table entries, and tweaks related diagnostics to follow the ACPI convention. The bug prevents misleading boot-time messages: platforms affected by this bug wrongly report they can support alarms up to one year in the future, when in fact the longest alarm is just 24 hours. That will surprise anyone trying to use those extended alarms. Signed-off-by:

I finally got around to testing the updated wakeup event hooks for rtc-cmos, and they follow in two patches: - Interface update ... when a simple enable_irq_wake() doesn't suffice, the platform data can hold suspend/resume callback hooks. - ACPI implementation ... provides callback hooks to do ACPI magic, and eliminate the legacy /proc/acpi/alarm file. The interface update could go into 2.6.21, but that's not essential; they will be NOPs on most PCs, without the ACPI stuff. I suspect the ACPI folk may have opinions about how to merge that second patch, and how to obsolete that legacy procfs file. I'd like to see that merge into 2.6.22 if possible... As for how to kick it in ... two ways: - The appended "rtcwake" program; updated since the last time it was posted, it deals much better with timezones and DST. - Write the /sys/class/rtc/.../wakealarm file, then go to sleep. For some reason RTC wake from "swsusp" stopped working on a system where it previously worked; the alarm setting appears to get clobbered. But on the bright side, RTC wake from "standby" worked on a system that had never been able to resume from that state before ... IDEACPI is my guess as to why it finally started to work. It's the old "two steps forward, one step back" dance, I guess. - Dave /* gcc -Wall -Os -o rtcwake rtcwake.c */ #include <stdio.h> #include <getopt.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <time.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <linux/rtc.h> /* constants from legacy PC/AT hardware */ #define RTC_PF 0x40 #define RTC_AF 0x20 #define RTC_UF 0x10 /* * rtcwake -- enter a system sleep state until specified wakeup time. * * This uses cross-platform Linux interfaces to enter a system sleep state, * and leave it no later than a specified time.

That magic comes in two basic flavors: - Straightforward: enable_irq_wake(), the way it'd work on most SOC chips; or generally with system sleep states which don't disable core IRQ logic. - Roundabout, using non-IRQ platform hooks. This is needed with ACPI and one almost-clone chip which uses a special wakeup-only alarm. (That's the RTC used on Footbridge boards, FWIW, which don't do PM in Linux.) A separate patch implements those hooks for ACPI platforms, so that rtc_cmos can issue system wakeup events (and its sysfs "wakealarm" attribute works on at least some systems). Signed-off-by: -

Fix a goof in the revised classdev support for RTCs: make sure the /dev node info is ready before the device is registered, not after. Otherwise the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/dev attribute won't be created and then udev won't have the information it needs to create the /dev/rtcN node. Signed-off-by:

RTC class suspend/resume support, re-initializing the system clock on resume from the clock used to initialize it at boot time. - The reinit-on-resume is hooked to the existing RTC_HCTOSYS config option, on the grounds that a clock good enough for init must also be good enough for re-init. - Inlining a version of the code used by ARM, to save and restore the delta between a selected RTC and the current system wall-clock time. - Removes calls to that ARM code from AT91, OMAP1, and S3C RTCs. This means that systems using those RTCs across suspend/resume will likely want to change their kernel configs to enable RTC_HCTOSYS. If HCTOSYS isn't using a second RTC (with battery?), this changes the system's initial date from Jan 1970 to the epoch this hardware uses: 1998 for AT91, 2000 for OMAP1 (assuming no split power mode), etc. This goes on top of the patch series removing "struct class_device" usage from the RTC framework. That's all needed for class suspend()/resume(). Signed-off-by:

This simplifies the RTC procfs support by removing the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. If it's configured, then sysfs support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It also removes the class_interface hook, now that its last remaining user is gone. (That API is usable only with a "struct class_device".) It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device". Signed-off-by:

Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines of the BSD lutimes(3) functions For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter. Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work. Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added. We have such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which not everybody likes (chroot etc).

When a logical cpu 'x' already has more than one process running, then most likely the siblings of that cpu 'x' must be busy. Otherwise the idle siblings would have likely(in most of the scenarios) picked up the extra load making the load on 'x' atmost one. Use this logic to eliminate the siblings status check and minimize the cache misses encountered on a heavily loaded system. Signed-off-by:

I noticed expensive divides done in try_to_wakeup() and find_busiest_group() on a bi dual core Opteron machine (total of 4 cores), moderatly loaded (15.000 context switch per second) oprofile numbers : CPU: AMD64 processors, speed 2600.05 MHz (estimated) Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Cycles outside of halt state) with a unit mask of 0x00 (No unit mask) count 50000 samples % symbol name ... 613914 1.0498 try_to_wake_up 834 0.0013 :ffffffff80227ae1: div %rcx 77513 0.1191 :ffffffff80227ae4: mov %rax,%r11 608893 1.0413 find_busiest_group 1841 0.0031 :ffffffff802260bf: div %rdi 140109 0.2394 :ffffffff802260c2: test %sil,%sil Some of these divides can use the reciprocal divides we introduced some time ago (currently used in slab AFAIK) We can assume a load will fit in a 32bits number, because with a SCHED_LOAD_SCALE=128 value, its still a theorical limit of 33554432 When/if we reach this limit one day, probably cpus will have a fast hardware divide and we can zap the reciprocal divide trick. Ingo suggested to rename cpu_power to __cpu_power to make clear it should not be modified without changing its reciprocal value too. I did not convert the divide in cpu_avg_load_per_task(), because tracking nr_running changes may be not worth it ? We could use a static table of 32 reciprocal values but it would add a conditional branch and table lookup.

Fix the process idle load balancing in the presence of dynticks. cpus for which ticks are stopped will sleep till the next event wakes it up. Potentially these sleeps can be for large durations and during which today, there is no periodic idle load balancing being done. This patch nominates an owner among the idle cpus, which does the idle load balancing on behalf of the other idle cpus. And once all the cpus are completely idle, then we can stop this idle load balancing too. Checks added in fast path are minimized. Whenever there are busy cpus in the system, there will be an owner(idle cpu) doing the system wide idle load balancing. Open items: 1. Intelligent owner selection (like an idle core in a busy package). 2. Merge with rcu's nohz_cpu_mask? Signed-off-by:

Periodic load balancing in recent kernels happen in the softirq. In certain -rt configurations, these softirqs are handled in softirqd context. And hence the check for idle processor was always returning busy (as nr_running > 1). This patch captures the idle information at the tick and passes this info to softirq context through an element 'idle_at_tick' in rq.

This patch makes it so that simple_fill_super and get_sb_pseudo assign their root inodes to be number 1. It also fixes up a couple of callers of simple_fill_super that were passing in files arrays that had an index at number 1, and adds a warning for any caller that sends in such an array. It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.

The problems are: - on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on a 64 bit kernel. We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits. We could trivially fix this by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but... - many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are given are unique. They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static counter can wrap. This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1. - after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter wraps. This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing the inodes afterward. Christoph H. previously mentioned that he thought that this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their inodes. The questions are: 1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems? 2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it? What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be problematic. I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add). The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm open to ways to try and gauge this. Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems. With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>: hashing patch (pipebench): sys 1m15.329s sys 1m16.249s sys 1m17.169s unpatched (pipebench): sys 1m9.836s sys 1m12.541s sys 1m14.153s Which works out to 1.05642174294555027017. So ~5-6% slowdown. This patch: When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc (correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error. We can't do anything about fs's with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field. This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in these two functions be 32 bits.

Here is a driver for the Alchemy au1550 PSC (Programmable Serial Controller) in SPI master mode. It supports dma transfers using the Alchemy descriptor based dma controller for 4-8 bits per word SPI transfers. For 9-24 bits per word transfers, pio irq based mode is used to avoid setup of dma channels from scratch on each number of bits per word change. Tested with au1550; this may also work on other MIPS Alchemy cpus, like au1200/au1210/au1250. Used extensively with SD card connected via SPI; this handles 8.1MHz SPI clock transfers using dma without any problem (the highest SPI clock freq possible with au1550 running on 324MHz). The driver supports sharing of SPI bus by multiple devices. All features of Alchemy SPI mode are supported (all SPI modes, msb/lsb first, bits per word in 4-24 range). As the SPI clock of the controller depends on main input clock that shall be configured externally, platform data structure for au1550 SPI controller driver contains mainclk_hz attribute to define the input clock rate. From this value, dividers of the controller for SPI clock are set up for required frequency. Signed-off-by:
