| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't store the field->op in the messy (and very inconvenient for e.g. audit_comparator()) form; translate to dense set of values and do full validation of userland-submitted value while we are at it. ->audit_init_rule() and ->audit_match_rule() get new values now; in-tree instances updated.

| * fixing audit rule ordering mess, part 1Al Viro2009-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost; all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_ exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from being matched. Solution: assign priorities to rules, keep track of the current highest-priority matching rule and its result (always/never). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.cMike Travis2009-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines. Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'. In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!) Also: Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to the new 'struct cpumask *' functions. Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the same node as the referring cpu.

Mainly changing cpumask_t to 'struct cpumask' and similar simple API conversion.

| | * cpumask: convert kernel/cpu.cRusty Russell2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Reduce kernel stack and memory usage, use new cpumask API. Use cpumask_var_t for take_cpu_down() stack var, and frozen_cpus. Note that notify_cpu_starting() can be called before core_initcall allocates frozen_cpus, but the NULL check is optimized out by gcc for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Reduce kernel memory usage, use new cpumask API. Avoid a static cpumask_t for prof_cpu_mask, and an on-stack cpumask_t in prof_cpu_mask_write_proc. Both become cpumask_var_t. prof_cpu_mask is only allocated when profiling is on, but the NULL checks are optimized out by gcc for the !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. Also removed some strange and unnecessary casts. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: use new cpumask API. rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. It could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory, but for the moment we use a bitmap. (Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it). We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API. ALPHA mod! Main change is that irq_default_affinity becomes a cpumask_var_t, so treat it as a pointer (this effects alpha). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Use new APIs Convert kernel/time functions to use struct cpumask *. Note the ugly bitmap declarations in tick-broadcast.c. These should be cpumask_var_t, but there was no obvious initialization function to put the alloc_cpumask_var() calls in. This was safe.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit numbers < nr_cpu_ids.

Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many(). We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version. (S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently). We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp cpumask. It's still fairly cheap. We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on stack).

This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
| * | | | | [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | |_|_|/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

This method is already in use with normal load_balance(), this patch introduces this method to new idle cpus when sched_mc is set to POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP. This logic provides effective consolidation of short running daemon jobs in a almost idle system The side effect of this patch may be ping-ponging of tasks if the system is moderately utilised. May need to adjust the iterations before triggering.
