| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance() function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that are called with two run queue locks held.

Fixes: 1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering we can't walk the domains before we build them presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain directories or files). 2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null. While the the function would always dereference null if called twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to free it would have shown the error. 3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains. Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always unregister. Without calling register on the way out we will not have a table or any sysctl tree. 4) warn if register is called without unregistering The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the tables. Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA, the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this case is stack garbage): bu19a:~# ls -R /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/: cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu1: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu2: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu3: bu19a:~# mkdir /dev/cpuset bu19a:~# mount -tcpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:~# cd /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > sched_load_balance bu19a:/dev/cpuset# mkdir one bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 1 > one/cpus bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > one/sched_load_balance Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000018 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000006b608 NIP: c00000000006b608 LR: c00000000006b604 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000018d973f0 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.23-bml) MSR: 9000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 28242442 XER: 00000000 DAR: 0000000000000018, DSISR: 0000000040000000 TASK = c00000001912e340[1987] 'bash' THREAD: c000000018d94000 CPU: 2 ..

* Fix synchronize_irq races with IRQ handlerHerbert Xu2007-10-231-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example, the tg3 driver does tp->irq_sync = 1; smp_mb(); synchronize_irq(); and then in the IRQ handler: if (!tp->irq_sync) netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi); Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't actually protect us. In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible. This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

* [PATCH] audit: watching subtreesAl Viro2007-10-216-9/+1301
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree". The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations: * if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously) * if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees * if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false positives. Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent. BM activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

The following is a list of changes: 1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface 2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by CPUIDLE drivers directly 3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one cpuidle_device is enabled and ready 4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows 5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding negative values 6.) a variety of other small cleanups Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g. poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

I call it the 'menu' governor because it considers the full list of idle states before each entry. I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end, it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following constraints: 1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection to C2-type or above. 2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt. 3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the elapsed time between the last pair of break events, excluding timer interrupts. This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep time deltas. The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs interface like so: "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor" Signed-off-by: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> commit a4bec7e65aa3b7488b879d971651cc99a6c410fe Author: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Date: Sat Mar 24 03:47:03 2007 -0400 cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ Expose information about the time remaining until the next timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure. Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle non-interrupt break events (e.g. DMA). Finally, expose sleep ticks information to external code. Thomas Gleixner is responsible for much of the code in this patch. However, I've made some additional changes, so I'm probably responsible if there are any bugs or oversights :) Signed-off-by: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> commit 2929d8996fbc77f41a5ff86bb67cdde3ca7d2d72 Author: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Date: Sat Mar 24 03:46:58 2007 -0400 cpuidle: governor API changes This patch prepares cpuidle for the menu governor. It adds an optional stage after idle state entry to give the governor an opportunity to check why the state was exited. Also it makes sure the idle loop returns after each state entry, allowing the appropriate dynticks code to run.

This is due to enter_idle(), exit_idle() races. Make cpuidle_idle_call() confirm to this when there is no pm_idle_old. Also, cpuidle look at the return values of attch_driver() and set current_driver to NULL if attach fails on all CPUs.

A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example). A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server, laptop on battery etc). Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management. A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset. This patch: Core cpuidle infrastructure. Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle: * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy decision * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.
