* rcu: add tracing for TINY_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney2010-11-30
| | | | | | | | Add tracing for the tiny RCU implementations, including statistics on boosting in the case of TINY_PREEMPT_RCU and RCU_BOOST. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* rcu: priority boosting for TINY_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney2010-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

* rcu: move TINY_RCU from softirq to kthreadPaul E. McKenney2010-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: add priority-inversion testing to rcutorturePaul E. McKenney2010-10-07
| | | | | | | | | Add an optional test to force long-term preemption of RCU read-side critical sections, controlled by new test_boost, test_boost_interval, and test_boost_duration module parameters. This is to be used to test RCU priority boosting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup, which is not removable. The problem is that while we do in-fact hold rq->lock, the newly spawned idle thread's cpu is not yet set to the correct cpu so the lockdep check in task_group(): lockdep_is_held(&task_rq(p)->lock) will fail. But this is a chicken and egg problem. Setting the CPU's runqueue requires that the CPU's runqueue already be set. ;-) So insert an RCU read-side critical section to avoid the complaint.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock. Although use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables are being loaded without the services of a lock.

Originally it was introduced to describe a backing device which includes an unplug and congestion function and various bits of readahead information and VM-relevant flags. We're also using for tracking dirty inodes for writeback. To make writeback properly find all inodes we need to only access the per-filesystem backing_device pointed to by the superblock in ->s_bdi inside the writeback code, and not the instances pointeded to by inode->i_mapping->backing_dev which can be overriden by special devices or might not be set at all by some filesystems. Long term we should split out the writeback-relevant bits of struct backing_device_info (which includes more than the current bdi_writeback) and only point to it from the superblock while leaving the traditional backing device as a separate structure that can be overriden by devices. The one exception for now is the block device filesystem which really wants different writeback contexts for it's different (internal) inodes to handle the writeout more efficiently. For now we do this with a hack in fs-writeback.c because we're so late in the cycle, but in the future I plan to replace this with a superblock method that allows for multiple writeback contexts per filesystem.

Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for PV on HVM guests too. In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe(). This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes "xm shutdown" not to work properly.

One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine modules. The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.
