There is no need for syscall_exit_fields as the syscall
exit event class can already host the fields in its structure,
like most other trace events do by default. Use that
default behavior instead.Following this scheme, we don't need anymore to override the
get_fields() callback of the syscall exit event class either.Hence both syscall_exit_fields and syscall_get_exit_fields() can
be removed.Also changed some indentation to keep the following under 80
characters:".fields = LIST_HEAD_INIT(event_class_syscall_exit.fields),"

If the RCU callback-processing kthread has nothing to do, it parks in
a wait_event(). If RCU remains idle for more than two minutes, the
kernel complains about this. This commit changes from wait_event()
to wait_event_interruptible() to prevent the kernel from complaining
just because RCU is idle.Reported-by: Russell King

Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has
worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and
replace it by a C-preprocessor macro. If someone finds problems
with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive
approach might be required.Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,
at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven,
just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is. At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.Reported-by: Linus Torvalds

Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new
hugepages become available. (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that
will have to make new hugepages available)The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory
can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated. So when a virtual
machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those
freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual
machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU
efficiency at all times. The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time,
except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to
pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff.In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing
memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of
potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could
lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at
first and having them collapsed into large pages later... if they prove
themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short
lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to
long lived mappings).Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

This increase the size of the mm struct a bit but it is needed to
preallocate one pte for each hugepage so that split_huge_page will not
require a fail path. Guarantee of success is a fundamental property of
split_huge_page to avoid decrasing swapping reliability and to avoid
adding -ENOMEM fail paths that would otherwise force the hugepage-unaware
VM code to learn rolling back in the middle of its pte mangling operations
(if something we need it to learn handling pmd_trans_huge natively rather
being capable of rollback). When split_huge_page runs a pte is needed to
succeed the split, to map the newly splitted regular pages with a regular
pte. This way all existing VM code remains backwards compatible by just
adding a split_huge_page* one liner. The memory waste of those
preallocated ptes is negligible and so it is worth it.Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows
about the compound internals. However now doing a put_page(head_page)
will not release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to
all sort of refcounting bugchecks. Getting a stable head_page is a little
tricky.page_head = page is there because if this is not a tail page it's also the
page_head. Only in case this is a tail page, compound_head is called,
otherwise it's guaranteed unnecessary. And if it's a tail page
compound_head has to run atomically inside irq disabled section
__get_user_pages_fast before returning. Otherwise ->first_page won't be a
stable pointer.Disableing irq before __get_user_page_fast and releasing irq after running
compound_head is needed because if __get_user_page_fast returns == 1, it
means the huge pmd is established and cannot go away from under us.
pmdp_splitting_flush_notify in __split_huge_page_splitting will have to
wait for local_irq_enable before the IPI delivery can return. This means
__split_huge_page_refcount can't be running from under us, and in turn
when we run compound_head(page) we're not reading a dangling pointer from
tailpage->first_page. Then after we get to stable head page, we are
always safe to call compound_lock and after taking the compound lock on
head page we can finally re-check if the page returned by gup-fast is
still a tail page. in which case we're set and we didn't need to split
the hugepage in order to take a futex on it.Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it
enters/leaves the foreground. Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj
down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. This patch allows a task to decrease its
oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to
or its inherited value at fork. Assuming the thread that has forked it
has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon
activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something
higher.Alternative considered:
* a setuid binary
* a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCESince you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a
setuid or daemon implementation would be complex. The alternatives also
have much higher overhead.This patch updated from original patch based on feedback from David

Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use
per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array.This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq.
With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array
(less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing.In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly
kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array.Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in
early_irq_init(). We probably could use on-demand allocations. (Code
included in alloc_descs()). Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior
alloc_descs() call.kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.

MONOTONIC_RAW clock timestamps are ideally suited for frequency
calculation and also fit well into the original NTP hardpps design. Now
phase and frequency can be adjusted separately: the former based on
REALTIME clock and the latter based on MONOTONIC_RAW clock.A new function getnstime_raw_and_real is added to timekeeping subsystem to
capture both timestamps at the same time and atomically.Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev

This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond.To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev

Commit 4be2c95d ("taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment
issues on ia64") added a null field to align the taskstats structure but
the discussion centered around ia64. The issue exists on other platforms
with inefficient unaligned access and adding them piecemeal would be an
unmaintainable mess.This patch uses Dave Miller's suggestion of using a combination of
CONFIG_64BIT && !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to determine
whether alignment is needed.Note that this will cause breakage on those platforms with applications
like iotop which had hard-coded offsets into the packet to access the
taskstats structure.The message seen on systems without the alignment fixes looks like: kernel
unaligned access to 0xe000023879dca9bc, ip=0xa000000100133d10The addresses may vary but resolve to locations inside __delayacct_add_tsk.
iotop makes what I'd call unreasonable assumptions about the contents of a
netlink genetlink packet containing generic attributes. They're typed and
have headers that specify value lengths, so the client can (should)
identify and skip the ones the client doesn't understand.The kernel, as of version 2.6.36, presented a packet like so:
+--------------------------------+
| genlmsghdr - 4 bytes |
+--------------------------------+
| NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */
+-+------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */
| +------------------------------+
| | pid/tgid - 4 bytes |
| +------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */

Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
sysctl.The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".[akpm@linux-foundation.org: check for IRQ context when !kptr_restrict, save an indent level, s/WARN/WARN_ONCE/]

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.
Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.Known issue:
- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.v2:
- adjust printk format per comments.

The comment about why rt_mutex_next_owner() can return NULL in
wake_futex_pi() is not the normal case.Tracing the cause of why this occurs is more likely that waiter
simply timedout. But because it originally caused contention with
the futex, the owner will go into the kernel when it unlocks
the lock. Then it will hit this code path and
rt_mutex_next_owner() will return NULL.Cc: Thomas Gleixner
