* sysctl: Infrastructure for per namespace sysctlsEric W. Biederman2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls. A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have it's own list of sysctl headers. Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace instance. register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional lists of sysctl_headers. As all of the users are expected to be in kernel no unregister function is provided. sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists. __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on a non-default sysctl list. The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* sysctl: Remember the ctl_table we passed to register_sysctl_pathsEric W. Biederman2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By doing this we allow users of register_sysctl_paths that build and dynamically allocate their ctl_table to be simpler. This allows them to just remember the ctl_table_header returned from register_sysctl_paths from which they can now find the ctl_table array they need to free. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* sysctl: Add register_sysctl_paths functionEric W. Biederman2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of modules that register a sysctl table somewhere deeply nested in the sysctl hierarchy, such as fs/nfs, fs/xfs, dev/cdrom, etc. They all specify several dummy ctl_tables for the path name. This patch implements register_sysctl_path that takes an additional path name, and makes up dummy sysctl nodes for each component. This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering. I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine. After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes. .text +897 .data -7008 text data bss dec hex filename 26959310 4045899 4718592 35723801 2211a19 ../vmlinux-vanilla 26960207 4038891 4718592 35717690 221023a ../O-allyesconfig/vmlinux So this change is both a space savings and a code simplification.

* | sched: keep total / count stats in addition to the max forArjan van de Ven2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, the linux kernel (with scheduler statistics enabled) keeps track of the maximum time a process is waiting to be scheduled. While the maximum is a very useful metric, tracking average and total is equally useful (at least for latencytop) to figure out the accumulated effect of scheduler delays.

* | debug: track and print last unloaded module in the oops traceArjan van de Ven2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on a suggestion from Andi: In various cases, the unload of a module may leave some bad state around that causes a kernel crash AFTER a module is unloaded; and it's then hard to find which module caused that. This patch tracks the last unloaded module, and prints this as part of the module list in the oops trace. Right now, only the last 1 module is tracked; I expect that this is enough for the vast majority of cases where this information matters; if it turns out that tracking more is important, we can always extend it to that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's rather common that an oops/WARN_ON/BUG happens during the load or unload of a module. Unfortunatly, it's not always easy to see directly which module is being loaded/unloaded from the oops itself. Worse, it's not even always possible to ask the bug reporter, since there are so many components (udev etc) that auto-load modules that there's a good chance that even the reporter doesn't know which module this is. This patch extends the existing "show if it's tainting" print code, which is used as part of printing the modules in the oops/BUG/WARN_ON to include a "+" for "being loaded" and a "-" for "being unloaded". As a result this extension, the "taint_flags()" function gets renamed to "module_flags()" (and takes a module struct as argument, not a taint flags int).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details of this implementation can be found in this paper - http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf and the article- http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/ This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper). This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations and can be switched to at compiler. Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.

* | Preempt-RCU: Use softirq instead of tasklets forDipankar Sarma2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes RCU use softirq instead of tasklets. It also adds a memory barrier after raising the softirq inorder to ensure that the cpu sees the most recently updated value of rcu->cur while processing callbacks.

* | sched: RT-balance, only adjust overload state when changingGregory Haskins2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The overload set/clears were originally idempotent when this logic was first implemented. But that is no longer true due to the addition of the atomic counter and this logic was never updated to work properly with that change. So only adjust the overload state if it is actually changing to avoid getting out of sync.

* | sched: RT-balance, add new methods to sched_classSteven Rostedt2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dmitry Adamushko found that the current implementation of the RT balancing code left out changes to the sched_setscheduler and rt_mutex_setprio. This patch addresses this issue by adding methods to the schedule classes to handle being switched out of (switched_from) and being switched into (switched_to) a sched_class. Also a method for changing of priorities is also added (prio_changed). This patch also removes some duplicate logic between rt_mutex_setprio and sched_setscheduler.
