| * | hotplug: Support kernel/hotplug sysctl variable when !CONFIG_NETIan Abbott2010-08-051-1/+1
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel/hotplug sysctl variable (/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file) was made conditional on CONFIG_NET by commit f743ca5e10f4145e0b3e6d11b9b46171e16af7ce (applied in 2.6.18) to fix problems with undefined references in 2.6.16 when CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y && !CONFIG_NET, but this restriction is no longer needed.

| * lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detectorDon Zickus2010-05-121-6/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the interface to be based on bytes instead. The API matches that of F_SETPIPE_SZ in that it rounds up the passed in size so that the resulting page array is a power-of-2 in size.

One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

As we are about to add another integer handling proc function a little bit of cleanup is in order: add a few helper functions to improve code readability and decrease code duplication. In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers (e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13). Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of keeping SysRq support inside of legacy keyboard driver split it out into a separate input handler (filter). This stops most SysRq input events from leaking into evdev clients (some events, such as first SysRq scancode - not keycode - event, are still leaked into both legacy keyboard and evdev).

* | | [S390] debug: enable exception-trace debug facilityHeiko Carstens2010-05-171-2/+3
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exception-trace facility on x86 and other architectures prints traces to dmesg whenever a user space application crashes. s390 has such a feature since ages however it is called userprocess_debug and is enabled differently. This patch makes sure that whenever one of the two procfs files /proc/sys/kernel/userprocess_debug /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace is modified the contents of the second one changes as well. That way we keep backwards compatibilty but also support the same interface like other architectures do. Besides that the output of the traces is improved since it will now also contain the corresponding filename of the vma (when available) where the process caused a fault or trap.

* hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicyLee Schermerhorn2009-12-151-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute "nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.
