To avoid forking usermode thread when creating an idle task, move fork_idle
to a work queue.If kernel starts with maxcpus= option which does not bring all available
cpus online at boot time, idle tasks for offline cpus are not created. If
later offline cpus are hotplugged through sysfs, __cpu_up is called in
the context of the user task, and fork_idle copies its non-zero mm
pointer. This causes BUG() in per_cpu_trap_init.This also avoids issues with resource limits of the CPU writing to sysfs,
containers, maybe others.Signed-off-by: Maksim Rayskiy

ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsignedHardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t
variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure.The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable
and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits
if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output
such as:Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20':

perf: Generalize some arch callchain code- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).- 70791ce9ba68a5921c9905ef05d23f62a90bc10c
perf: Generalize callchain_store()callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in
perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid

Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU.
This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon:
- 65b4711ff513767341aa1915c822de6ec0de65cb
ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validationThe validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
following problems:1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
causing the group to fail.This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.Acked-by: Will Deacon

perf: Rework the PMU methodsReplace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events
For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

This is the MIPS part of the following commit by Peter Zijlstra:
- e360adbe29241a0194e10e20595360dd7b98a2b3
irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacksProvide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
handler as described above.Reported-by: Wu Zhangjin

in the __mcount_loc section to filter the function entries configured
through the tracing/set_graph_function interface, but before, this is

The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced
some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables
and related functions.For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the
'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self
return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic
interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the
current function name, the parent return address and the self return
address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the
self address.But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does
need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it
will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph
entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded
ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So,
the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real
requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and
assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.Reported-by: Zhiping Zhong

When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created
before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the
processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW.If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to,
page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to
*vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references
on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too
early).*mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the
page wasn't found by page_check_address.This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a
pmd_trans_splitting() pmd.We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the
pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may
materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs.This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during
split_huge_page().Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink
attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could
race in and steal free space.But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover
delalloc reservations. The code was tweaked to loop 1024
times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount
of progress was made. This was too drastic, and with a
lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping
too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make
sure we reclaim space.This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some
writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down. This means
the writeback has not just started but has also finished at
least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc
space.If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which
is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine.Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers
trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full. The
other writers are able to continue until we get 100%.This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing
small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room
for metadata chunks.Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

BZ29402
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panicWe can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.
