| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The interval for checking scheduling domains if they are due to be balanced currently depends on boot state NR_CPUS, which may not accurately reflect the number of online CPUs at the time of check. Thus replace NR_CPUS with num_online_cpus().

Thus, if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question. Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue) having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate) that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states, for SCHED_FIFO: "If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the modification, as follows: a. <...> b.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time. Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware. This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash.

* / Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfoRoland Dreier2011-03-28
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit da48524eb206 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict. There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE: - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo() fails with EPERM. - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a() wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define). The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER. As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have this scaling with the number of online CPUs. Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the rlimit threshold and fail to mmap: $ perf record ls Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted) Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.

The cpuctx->cgrp was not cleared on all possible event exit paths, including: close() perf_release() perf_release_kernel() list_del_event() This patch fixes list_del_event() to clear cpuctx->cgrp when there are no cgroup events left in the context. [ This second version makes the code compile when CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF is not enabled. We unconditionally define perf_cpu_context->cgrp. ] Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: perfmon2-devel@lists.sf.net Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: davem@davemloft.net LKML-Reference: <20110323150306.GA1580@quad> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Converting this to a WARN_ON_SMP() fixes the problem.

Its handler sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to ensure the address will not point outside of the function. If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn", gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat. This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.
