* | | nohz: fix wrong event handler after online an offlined cpuMiao Xie2008-08-21
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after I made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler. After debuging, I found this bug was caused by the wrong tick mode. the tick mode is not changed to NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE when the cpu is offline. This patch fixes this bug.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each process, ignoring all other sibling thread. Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and ioprio_{set/get}.

| * | | security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells2008-08-14
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would wait). After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented out (so it always executes the slowpath). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.

After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics. (which is unsigned for performance reasons) So revert: # c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift # c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads. # af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ # f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time This solves the interactivity problems.

This fix also solves the problem with x86-microcode. I've sent alternative patches for microcode, but as this "rely on set_cpus_allowed_ptr() being workable in cpu-hotplug(CPU_ONLINE, ...)" assumption seems to be more broad than what we thought, perhaps this fix should be applied. With this patch we define that by the moment CPU_ONLINE is being sent, a 'cpu' is online and ready for tasks to be migrated onto it.

Testing of the tip/sched/clock tree revealed a mysql+oltp regression which bisection eventually traced back to this commit in mainline. Pertinent test results: Three run sysbench averages, throughput units in read/write requests/sec. clients 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 6e0534f 9646 17876 34774 33868 32230 30767 29441 2.6.26.1 9112 17936 34652 33383 31929 30665 29232 6d299f1 9112 14637 28370 33339 32038 30762 29204 Note: subsequent commits hide the majority of this regression until you apply the clock fixes, at which time it reemerges at full magnitude. We cannot see anything bad about the change itself so we defer it to the next release until this problem is fully analysed.
