| * rmap: fix walk during forkAndrea Arcangeli2010-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The below bug in fork led to the rmap walk finding the parent huge-pmd twice instead of just once, because the anon_vma_chain objects of the child vma still point to the vma->vm_mm of the parent. The patch fixes it by making the rmap walk accurate during fork. It's not a big deal normally but it worth being accurate considering the cost is the same.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a situation where the nohz balancer will try to wake itself: cpu-x is idle which is also ilb_cpu got a scheduler tick during idle and the nohz_kick_needed() in trigger_load_balance() checks for rq_x->nr_running which might not be zero (because of someone waking a task on this rq etc) and this leads to the situation of the cpu-x sending a kick to itself. And this can cause a lockup. Avoid this by not marking ourself eligible for kicking.

(See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281 ) This is a quick fix demonstrating the problem but is not the best method of solving the problem since passing pids internally is not the best way to avoid pid namespace bugs.

The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows: - Fast lookup of a free slot - Allows the removal of descriptors - Prevents the create/destroy race - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after further cleanups The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement for looping through the descriptor array to find slots. Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to GFP_KERNEL.

We could hand down irq_desc itself, but low level chip functions have no need to fiddle with it directly and we want to restrict access to irq_desc further. Preparatory patch for new chip functions.

* | compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()H. Peter Anvin2010-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

* | sched: Improve latencies under load by decreasing minimum scheduling granularityIngo Molnar2010-09-13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mathieu reported bad latencies with make -j10 kind of kbuild workloads - which is mostly caused by us scheduling with a too coarse granularity. Reduce the minimum granularity some more, to make sure we can meet the latency target. I got the following results (make -j10 kbuild load, average of 3 runs): vanilla: maximum latency: 38278.9 µs average latency: 7730.1 µs patched: maximum latency: 22702.1 µs average latency: 6684.8 µs Mathieu also measured it: | | * wakeup-latency.c (SIGEV_THREAD) with make -j10 | | - Mainline 2.6.35.2 kernel | | maximum latency: 45762.1 µs | average latency: 7348.6 µs | | - With only Peter's smaller min_gran (shown below): | | maximum latency: 29100.6 µs | average latency: 6684.1 µs | Reported-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <AANLkTi=8m4g01wZPacySoF7U0PevTNVgJoZZrHiUD-pN@mail.gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| * PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memoryRafael J. Wysocki2010-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Be sure to avoid entering t_show() with FTRACE_ITER_HASH set without having properly started the iterator to iterate the hash. This case is degenerate and, as discovered by Robert Swiecki, can cause t_hash_show() to misuse a pointer. This causes a NULL ptr deref with possible security implications. Tracked as CVE-2010-3079.
