* sched: allow cpuacct stats to be resetDhaval Giani2008-04-191-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the schedstats implementation does not allow the statistics to be reset. This patch aims to allow that. echo 0 > cpuacct.usage resets the usage. Any other value is not allowed and returns -EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queuedOlof Johansson2008-04-191-22/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed this when looking at an openswan issue. Openswan (ab?)uses the tasklet API to defer processing of packets in some situations, with one packet per tasklet_action(). I started noticing sequences of backwards-ordered sequence numbers coming over the wire, since new tasklets are always queued at the head of the list but processed sequentially. Convert it to instead append new entries to the tail of the list. As an extra bonus, the splicing code in takeover_tasklets() no longer has to iterate over the list.

* sched: rt-group: smp balancingPeter Zijlstra2008-04-192-6/+122
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real- time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run. Solve this by making the runtime limit a global property by borrowing excessive runtime from the other cpus once the local limit runs out.

| | | | | | | | | | | Various SMP balancing algorithms require that the bandwidth period run in sync. Possible improvements are moving the rt_bandwidth thing into root_domain and keeping a span per rt_bandwidth which marks throttled cpus.

There was a small window after the master processor sets cpu_in_debug to zero but before it has set kgdb_active to zero where a non-master processor in an SMP system could receive an NMI and re-enter the kgdb_wait() loop. As long as the master processor sets the cpu_in_debug before sending the cpu roundup the cpu_in_debug variable can also be used to guard against the race condition. The kgdb_wait() function no longer needs to check kgdb_active because it is done in the arch specific code and handled along with the nmi traps at the low level. This also allows kgdb_wait() to exit correctly if it was entered for some unknown reason due to a spurious NMI that could not be handled by the arch specific code.

In the current x86 kernel.org kernels HW breakpoints are changed out in lazy fashion because there is no infrastructure around changing them when changing to a kernel task or entering the kernel mode via a system call. This lazy approach means that if a user process uses HW breakpoints the kgdb will loose out. This is an acceptable trade off because the developer debugging the kernel is assumed to know what is going on system wide and would be aware of this trade off. There is a minor bug fix to the kgdb core so as to correctly call the hw breakpoint functions with a valid value from the enum. There is also a minor change to the x86_64 startup code when using early HW breakpoints. When the debugger is connected, the cpu startup code must not zero out the HW breakpoint registers or you cannot hit the breakpoints you are interested in, in the first place.

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes - I'm nervous about this causing include loops. However, there's a separate point to be discussed here. That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel. If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h rather than linux/irq.h. So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity() to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context registers.) Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform kernels which both use genirq.

* | ptrace_signal subroutineRoland McGrath2008-04-181-29/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This breaks out the ptrace handling from get_signal_to_deliver into a new subroutine. The actual code there doesn't change, and it gets inlined into nearly identical compiled code. This makes the function substantially shorter and thus easier to read, and it nicely isolates the ptrace magic.

After digging into the code and debugging, I finlly found out a race situation: do_exit() ->cgroup_exit() ->if (!list_empty(&tsk->cg_list)) list_del(&tsk->cg_list); cgroup_iter_start() ->cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() ->list_add(&tsk->cg_list, ..); In this case the list won't be deleted though the process has exited. We got two bug reports in the past, which seem to be the same bug as this one: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/332 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/224 Actually sometimes I got oops on list_del, sometimes oops on list_add. And I can change my test program a bit to trigger other oops. The patch has been tested both on x86_32 and x86_64.

* Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()"Linus Torvalds2008-04-151-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console(). Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch.
