      selftests/Makefile: make `run_tests' depend on `all' · cab6b056
      Andrew Morton authored
      So a "make run_tests" will build the tests before trying to run them.

      selftests: launch individual selftests from the main Makefile · f467f714
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Remove the run_tests script and launch the selftests by calling "make
      run_tests" from the selftests top directory instead.  This delegates to
      the Makefile in each selftest directory, where it is decided how to launch
      the local test.
      
      This removes the need to add each selftest directory to the now removed
      "run_tests" top script.

      radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions · 0fc9d104
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Replace radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() and
      radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() in page-cache lookup functions with
      brand-new radix-tree direct iterating.  This avoids the double-scanning
      and pointer copying.
      
      Iterator don't stop after nr_pages page-get fails in a row, it continue
      lookup till the radix-tree end.  Thus we can safely remove these restart
      conditions.
      
      Unfortunately, old implementation didn't forbid nr_pages == 0, this corner
      case does not fit into new code, so the patch adds an extra check at the
      beginning.

      radix-tree: introduce bit-optimized iterator · 78c1d784
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      A series of radix tree cleanups, and usage of them in the core pagecache
      code.
      
      Micro-benchmark:
      
      lookup 14 slots (typical page-vector size)
      in radix-tree there earch <step> slot filled and tagged
      before/after - nsec per full scan through tree
      
      * Intel Sandy Bridge i7-2620M 4Mb L3
      New code always faster
      
      * AMD Athlon 6000+ 2x1Mb L2, without L3
      New code generally faster,
      Minor degradation (marked with "*") for huge sparse trees
      
      * i386 on Sandy Bridge
      New code faster for common cases: tagged and dense trees.
      Some degradations for non-tagged lookup on sparse trees.
      
      Ideally, there might help __ffs() analog for searching first non-zero
      long element in array, gcc sometimes cannot optimize this loop corretly.

      This patch:
      
      Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.
      
      Iterating divided into two phases:
      * lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
      * iterating through slots in this chunk
      
      Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
      slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
       For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
       All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.
      
      Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
      find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
      find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
      elements.

      pidns: add reboot_pid_ns() to handle the reboot syscall · cf3f8921
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
      makes sense.  When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
      namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
      to some problems.
      
      A container can reboot the host.  That can be fixed by dropping the
      sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
      halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
      with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.
      
      After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
      handle the shutdown from a container.
      
      This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
      exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
      called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
      "reboot".  When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
      pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
      "RESTART", and "RESTART2".  Otherwise we return EINVAL.
      
      Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
      by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.
      
      By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
      rebooted or not and can take the right decision.

      Use bitmap_set() instead of using set_bit() for each bit.  This conversion
      is valid because the bitmap is private in the function call and atomic
      bitops were unnecessary.
      
      This also includes minor change.

      ipmi: use locks on watchdog timeout set on reboot · 423a5bb4
      Corey Minyard authored
      The IPMI watchdog timer clears or extends the timer on reboot/shutdown.
      It was using the non-locking routine for setting the watchdog timer, but
      this was causing race conditions.  Instead, use the locking version to
      avoid the races.  It seems to work fine.

      The part of the IPMI driver that delivered panic information to the event
      log and extended the watchdog timeout during a panic was not properly

      wasn't properly waiting for these, or wasn't properly handling the

      ipmi: use a tasklet for handling received messages · 7adf579c
      Corey Minyard authored
      The IPMI driver would release a lock, deliver a message, then relock.
      This is obviously ugly, and this patch converts the message handler
      interface to use a tasklet to schedule work.  This lets the receive
      handler be called from an interrupt handler with interrupts enabled.

      Matthew Garrett authored
      We currently time out and retry KCS transactions after 1 second of waiting
      for IBF or OBF.  This appears to be too short for some hardware.  The IPMI
      spec says "All system software wait loops should include error timeouts.
      For simplicity, such timeouts are not shown explicitly in the flow
      diagrams.  A five-second timeout or greater is recommended".  Change the
      timeout to five seconds to satisfy the slow hardware.

      will including memory holes in the middle.
      
      Especially for kvm guest with memory > 0xe0000000, there's below in qemu
      code: qemu split memory as below:
      
          if (ram_size >= 0xe0000000 ) {
              above_4g_mem_size = ram_size - 0xe0000000;
              below_4g_mem_size = 0xe0000000;
          } else {
              below_4g_mem_size = ram_size;
          }
      
      So for 4G mem guest, seabios will insert a 512M usable region beyond of
      4G.  Thus in above case max_pfn - min_low_pfn will be more than original
      memsize.
      
      Fixing this issue by using memblock_phys_mem_size() to get the total
      memsize.

      mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they exist · 74046494
      Gilad Ben-Yossef authored
      Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send
      an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they
      actually have pages when asked to flush.
      
      This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of
      severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple,
      possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code
      path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation
      failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory
      pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages
      on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them).
      
      This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct
      reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to
      ACK the IPI takes a long time.
      
      Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the
      difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in
      drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any
      per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next
      patch in the series and using proc/interrupts.
      
      In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global
      IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload:
      
      $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
      pcp_global_drain 0
      pcp_global_ipi_saved 0
      
      $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
      CAL:          1          2          1          2
                2          2          2          2   Function call interrupts
      
      $ hackbench 400
      [OOM messages snipped]
      
      $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
      pcp_global_drain 3647
      pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642
      
      $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
      CAL:          6         13          6          3
                3          3         1 2          7   Function call interrupts
      
      Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim
      path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced
      with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

      fs: only send IPI to invalidate LRU BH when needed · 42be35d0
      Gilad Ben-Yossef authored
      In several code paths, such as when unmounting a file system (but not
      only) we send an IPI to ask each cpu to invalidate its local LRU BHs.
      
      For multi-cores systems that have many cpus that may not have any LRU BH
      because they are idle or because they have not performed any file system
      accesses since last invalidation (e.g.  CPU crunching on high perfomance
      computing nodes that write results to shared memory or only using
      filesystems that do not use the bh layer.) This can lead to loss of
      performance each time someone switches the KVM (the virtual keyboard and
      screen type, not the hypervisor) if it has a USB storage stuck in.
      
      This patch attempts to only send an IPI to cpus that have LRU BH.

      slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flush · a8364d55
      Gilad Ben-Yossef authored
      flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy().  So every cache being
      destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system,
      regardless if the cache has ever been used there.
      
      For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the
      close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy().  So running some infiniband
      config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt
      the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency
      sensitive task.
      
      I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git
      grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario.
      
      This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the
      per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such
      objects.
      
      The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU
      without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell
      the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so
      if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for
      locking regardless.
      
      Without this patch the following artificial test case:
      
      $ cd /sys/kernel/slab
      $ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done
      
      produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none.
      
      The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
      config was tested using fault injection framework.

      smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter func · b3a7e98e
      Gilad Ben-Yossef authored
      Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and
      calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a
      parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.
      
      The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
      CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time
      via smp_call_function_single().
      
      The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that
      decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request
      from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling
      failures etc.

      smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function · 3fc498f1
      Gilad Ben-Yossef authored
      We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
      such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
      cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
      Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
      for various needs.  These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
      altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
      CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
      
      This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
      Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
      to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
      are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
      of CPUs.  The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
      right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
      even worth dealing with at all.  Based on the feedback from this patch set
      I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
      paths.
      
      This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
      infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
      versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
      invocation to per CPU group invocations.
      
      Core kernel:
      
      on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
      which may or may not include the local processor.
      
      You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
      hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
      
      arch/arm:
      
      Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
      
      1. It has the mask as first parameter
      2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
         but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
         with interrupts disabled anyway.
      
      arch/tile:
      
      The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
      also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
      
      This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
      with interrupts disabled.

      swapon: check validity of swap_flags · d15cab97
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
      valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.
      
      But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
      support more swap_flags in future.
      
      It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
      used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
      revert if it turns out to do so.

      mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killing · 29fd66d2
      David Rientjes authored
      The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating
      large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences:
      
       - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete
         all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from
         being made or tasks from exiting,
      
       - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed
         without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in
         the coredumping process, or
      
       - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the
         dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in
         the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete.
      
      This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for
      coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and
      the process continues to exit.

      Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
      but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers).  This is not really

      case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
      being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.
      
      Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
      unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
      truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().
      
      Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
      POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
      difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
      attempting to implement it.

       "Ext4 commits for 3.3 merge window; mostly cleanups and bug fixes
      
        The changes to export dirty_writeback_interval are from Artem's s_dirt
        cleanup patch series.  The same is true of the change to remove the
        s_dirt helper functions which never got used by anyone in-tree.  I've
        run these changes by Al Viro, and am carrying them so that Artem can
        more easily fix up the rest of the file systems during the next merge
        window.  (Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from
        ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I
        ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)"

      vfs: fix d_ancestor() case in d_materialize_unique · b18dafc8
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      In d_materialise_unique() there are 3 subcases to the 'aliased dentry'
      case; in two subcases the inode i_lock is properly released but this
      does not occur in the -ELOOP subcase.
      
      This seems to have been introduced by commit 18367501 ("fix loop
      checks in d_materialise_unique()").
      Signed-off-by: default avatarMichel Lespinasse <walken@google.com>
      Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.0+
      [ Added a comment, and moved the unlock to where we generate the -ELOOP,
        which seems to be more natural.
      
        You probably can't actually trigger this without a buggy network file
        server - d_materialize_unique() is for finding aliases on non-local
        filesystems, and the d_ancestor() case is for a hardlinked directory
        loop.
      
        But we should be robust in the case of such buggy servers anyway. ]

      Pull ARM platform updates from Russell King:
       "This covers platform stuff for platforms I have a direct interest in
        (iow, I have the hardware).  Essentially:
         - as we no longer support any other Acorn platforms other than RiscPC
           anymore, we can collect all that code into mach-rpc.
         - convert Acorn expansion card stuff to use IRQ allocation functions,
           and get rid of NO_IRQ from there.
         - cleanups to the ebsa110 platform to move some private stuff out of
           its header files.
         - large amount of SA11x0 updates:
         - conversion of private DMA implementation to DMA engine support
           (this actually gives us greater flexibility in drivers over the old
           API.)
         - re-worked ucb1x00 updates - convert to genirq, remove sa11x0
           dependencies, fix various minor issues
         - move platform specific sa11x0 framebuffer data into platform files
           in arch/arm instead of keeping this in the driver itself
         - update sa11x0 IrDA driver for DMA engine, and allow it to use DMA
           for SIR transmissions as well as FIR
         - rework sa1111 support for genirq, and irq allocation
         - fix sa1111 IRQ support so it works again
         - use sparse IRQ support
      
        After this, I have one more pull request remaining from my current
        set, which I think is going to be the most problematical as it
        generates 8 conflicts."
