sched: Fix rt_rq runtime leakage bug -
Kmemleak frees objects via RCU and when CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD
is enabled, the RCU callback triggers a call to free_object() in
lib/debugobjects.c. Since kmemleak is initialised before debug objects
initialisation, it may result in a kernel panic during booting. This
patch moves the kmemleak_init() call after debug_objects_mem_init().Reported-by: Marcin Slusarz

This reverts commit 4a5fa3590f09, which did not allow SLUB to be used
on architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without compiling NUMA support
without CONFIG_BROKEN also set.The slub panic that it was intended to prevent is addressed by
d9b41e0b54fd ("[PARISC] set memory ranges in N_NORMAL_MEMORY when
onlined") on parisc so there is no further slub issues with such a
configuration.The reverts allows SLUB now to be used on such architectures since
there haven't been any reports of additional errors.Cc: James Bottomley

Add priority boosting for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, similar to that for
TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled by the default-off RCU_BOOST
kernel parameter. The priority to which to boost preempted
RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel parameter
(defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before
boosting the readers who are blocking a given grace period is
controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to
500 milliseconds).Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by
DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA. This violation results in a panic because
page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and
this leads to a null return by get_node(). The assertion by the
maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also
defined. However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k,
mips, parisc violate this. The panic is a regression against slab, so
just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users
reporting these panics.Cc: stable@kernel.org

Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.As measured using: http://oss.oracle.com/~mason/sembench.c

The expected course of development for user namespaces targeted
capabilities is laid out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace.Goals:
- Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces. They
will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should
only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns.- Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different
namespaces.Status:
Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to
get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
CAP_SETGID capabilities. What this gets you is a whole new set of
userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in
your namespace than in other namespaces. So any accounting information
stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace.However, throughout the kernel there are checks which
- simply check for a capability. Since root in a child namespace
has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not
constrained.- simply compare uid1 == uid2. Since these are the integer uids,
uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in
namespace 2.As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user
namespaces. This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to
develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user
namespaces may be unuseful.Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which
are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in
child user namespace can do. They begin to limit privilege to a user
namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the
parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files.
Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means
that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all*
files. While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system
containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing.I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no
difference.This patch:
copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces.
So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace
will have the new user namespace as its owner. That is what we want,
since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over
it.Changelog:
Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create
a new uts_ns.
Feb 23: Move extern init_user_ns declaration from
init/version.c to utsname.h.Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn

Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low. By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.E.g. an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,
but in reality should have been able to fit in a single delay 644 times
longer, so underestimated by 31 steps. To reach the equivalent of 644
small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has

The motivation for this patch series is that currently our OMAP calibrates
itself using the trial-and-error binary chop fallback that some other
architectures no longer need to perform. This is a lengthy process,
taking 0.2s in an environment where boot time is of great interest.Patch 2/4 has two optimisations. Firstly, it replaces the initial
repeated- doubling to find the relevant power of 2 with a tight loop that
just does as much as it can in a jiffy. Secondly, it doesn't binary chop
over an entire power of 2 range, it choses a much smaller range based on
how much it squeezed in, and failed to squeeze in, during the first stage.
Both are significant optimisations, and bring our calibration down from
23 jiffies to 5, and, in the process, often arrive at a more accurate lpj
value.The 'bands' and 'sub-logarithmic' growth may look over-engineered, but
they only cost a small level of inaccuracy in the initial guess (for all
architectures) in order to avoid the very large inaccuracies that appeared
during testing (on x86_64 architectures, and presumably others with less
metronomic operation). Note that due to the existence of the TSC and
other timers, the x86_64 will not typically use this fallback routine, but
I wanted to code defensively, able to cope with all kinds of processor
behaviours and kernel command line options.Patch 3/4 is an additional trap for the nightmare scenario where the
initial estimate is very inaccurate, possibly due to things like SMIs.
It simply retries with a larger bound.Stephen said:
I tried this patch set out on an MSM7630.

: Calibrating delay loop... 681.57 BogoMIPS (lpj=3407872)
:
: After:
:
: Calibrating delay loop... 680.75 BogoMIPS (lpj=3403776)
:
: But the really good news is calibration time dropped from ~247ms to ~56ms.

: definitely a boot time improvement.
:
: Or maybe we could just replace calibrate_delay_direct() with this fallback

... so that it can be modified more clinically.
This is almost entirely cosmetic. The only change to the operation
is that the global variable is only set once after the estimation is
completed, rather than taking on all the intermediate values. However,
there are no readers of that variable, so this change is unimportant.Signed-off-by: Phil Carmody

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);

lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.c -
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar

During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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

This implements the API defined in which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin
