2009-04-07softlockup: make DETECT_HUNG_TASK default depend on DETECT_SOFTLOCKUPIngo Molnar1-1/+1
Don't offer a default-y option when the user has turned off CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP already. Do offer it as 'y' only if DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP is on already. This makes it match previous behavior - where the hung-task check was embedded i CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP code.

2009-04-03cpumask: fix slab corruption caused by alloc_cpumask_var_node()Jack Steiner1-2/+2
Fix slab corruption caused by alloc_cpumask_var_node() overwriting the tail end of an off-stack cpumask. The function zeros out cpumask bits beyond the last possible cpu. The starting point for zeroing should be the beginning of the mask offset by a byte count derived from the number of possible cpus. The offset was calculated in bits instead of bytes. This resulted in overwriting the end of the cpumask.

2009-04-03cgroup: CSS ID supportKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+46
Patch for Per-CSS(Cgroup Subsys State) ID and private hierarchy code. This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following. - css_lookup(subsys, id) returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id. - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid) returns the next css under "root" by scanning When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained. The cgroup framework only parepares - css_id of root css for subsys - id is automatically attached at creation of css. - id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state. free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys. There are several reasons to develop this. - Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast. By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can reduce much amount of memory usage. - Scanning without lock. CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning css under root can be written without locks. ex) do { rcu_read_lock(); next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found); /* check sanity of next here */ css_tryget(); rcu_read_unlock(); id = found + 1 } while(...) Characteristics: - Each css has unique ID under subsys. - Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys. - css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy - Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID. Design Choices: - scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk. As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done by following kind of routine. scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this. - When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to 65535.

2009-04-01generic debug pageallocAkinobu Mita1-0/+1
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

2009-03-25Dynamic debug: allow simple quoting of wordsGreg Banks1-20/+33
Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language. This allows more natural specification when using the control language to match against printk formats, e.g #echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control instead of #echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

2009-03-25dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron4-416/+758
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-25kobject: don't block for each kobject_ueventArjan van de Ven1-1/+1
Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to call_usermode_helper(). Specifically, the effect is that each uevent that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times during the system boot. This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but do not wait for keventd to process the work. This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up. [Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be excuted at all -- gregkh] Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-25Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei1-0/+7
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

Now that all users of bus_id is gone, we can remove it from struct device. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24dma-debug: make memory range checks more consistentJoerg Roedel1-5/+8
Impact: extend on-kernel-stack DMA debug checks to all !highmem pages We only checked dma_map_single() - extend it to dma_map_page() and dma_map_sg() as well. Also, fix dma_map_single() corner case bug: make sure we dont stack-check highmem (not mapped) pages.

2009-03-17dma-debug: add a check dma memory leaksJoerg Roedel1-0/+55
Impact: allow architectures to monitor busses for dma mem leakage This patch adds checking code to detect if a device has pending DMA operations when it is about to be unbound from its device driver. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2009-03-17dma-debug: add checks for kernel text and rodataJoerg Roedel1-1/+25
Impact: get notified if a device dma maps illegal areas This patch adds a check to print a warning message when a device driver tries to map a memory area from the kernel text segment or rodata. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>

2009-03-17dma-debug: add function to dump dma mappingsDavid Woodhouse1-0/+30
This adds a function to dump the DMA mappings that the debugging code is aware of -- either for a single device, or for _all_ devices. This can be useful for debugging -- sticking a call to it in the DMA page fault handler, for example, to see if the faulting address _should_ be mapped or not, and hence work out whether it's IOMMU bugs we're seeing, or driver bugs.

2009-03-17debugobjects: delay free of internal objectsThomas Gleixner1-12/+41
Impact: avoid recursive kfree calls, less slab activity on heavy load debugobjects checks on kfree whether tracked objects are freed. When a tracked object is freed debugobjects frees the internal reference object as well. The debug object slab cache is marked to not recurse into debugobjects when a slab objects is freed, but the recursive call can be problematic versus locking in the memory allocator. Defer the freeing of debug slab objects via schedule_work. The reasons not to use RCU are: 1) rcu makes the data structure larger 2) there is no real need for rcu as nothing references the obj after we freed it 3) under heavy load it is easier to reuse the to be freed objects instead of allocating new objects from the slab. This lowered the slab activity significantly in a heavy load networking test where lots of timers are created/destroyed. The workqueue based delayed free allows us just to put the to be freed objects back into the object pool and reuse them right away.
