Pull RCU changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar. The major features of this
series are:
- making RCU more aggressive about entering dyntick-idle mode in order
to improve energy efficiency
- converting a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu()s
- applying a number of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny
- removing CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs from treercu
- allowing RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs
- adding CPU-stall capability to rcutorture
- adding more RCU-abuse diagnostics
- updating documentation
- fixing yet more issues located by the still-ongoing top-to-bottom
inspection of RCU, this time with a special focus on the CPU-hotplug
code path.

Alexander pointed out that the warnons in the regular exit path are
bogus and the thread_mask one actually could be triggered when
__setup_irq() hands out that thread_mask again after __free_irq()
dropped irq_desc->lock.
Thinking more about it, neither IRQTF_RUNTHREAD nor the bit in
thread_mask can be set as this is the regular exit path. We come here
due to:
__free_irq()
remove action from desc
synchronize_irq()
kthread_stop()
So synchronize_irq() makes sure that the thread finished running and
cleaned up both the thread_active count and thread_mask. After that
point nothing can set IRQTF_RUNTHREAD on this action. So the warnons
and the cleanups are pointless.

The current implementation does not always flush the threaded handler
when disabling the irq. In case the irq handler was called, but the
threaded handler hasn't started running yet, the interrupt will be
flagged as pending, and the handler will not run. This implementation
has some issues:
First, if the interrupt is a wake source and flagged as pending, the
system will not be able to suspend.
Second, when quickly disabling and re-enabling the irq, the threaded
handler might continue to run after the irq is re-enabled without the
irq handler being called first. This might be an unexpected behavior.
In addition, it might be counter-intuitive that the threaded handler
will not be called even though the irq handler was called and returned
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD.
Fix this by always waiting for the threaded handler to complete in
synchronize_irq().

When padata_do_parallel() is called from multiple cpus for the same
padata instance, we can get object reordering on sequence number wrap
because testing for sequence number wrap and reseting the sequence
number must happen atomically but is implemented with two atomic
operations. This patch fixes this by converting the sequence number
from atomic_t to an unsigned int and protect the access with a

handling because the seqence number wraps back to null now without
the need to do anything.

the variable function_trace_function to determine if it should
call the function tracer. If it is not set to ftrace_stub, then
it will call the function and return, and not call the function
graph tracer.
But some of these archs (ARM) do not have the assembly code
to test if function tracing is enabled or not (quick stop of tracing)
and it calls the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func() instead.
If function tracer is enabled and then disabled, the variable
ftrace_trace_function is still set to the helper routine
ftrace_test_stop_func(), and not to ftrace_stub. This will
prevent the function graph tracer from ever running.

Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where
we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it
while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the
sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so
that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want
new tasks to appear.
On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu,
so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state.
So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and
consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the
cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

Currently IRQTF_DIED flag is set when a IRQ thread handler calls do_exit()
But also PF_EXITING per process flag gets set when a thread exits. This
fix eliminates the duplicate by using PF_EXITING flag.
Also, there is a race condition in exit_irq_thread(). In case a thread's
bit is cleared in desc->threads_oneshot (and the IRQ line gets unmasked),
but before IRQTF_DIED flag is set, a new interrupt might come in and set
just cleared bit again, this time forever. This fix throws IRQTF_DIED flag
away, eliminating the race as a result.

When a new thread handler is created, an irqaction is passed to it as
data. Not only that irqaction is stored in task_struct by the handler
for later use, but also a structure associated with the kernel thread
keeps this value as long as the thread exists.
This fix kicks irqaction out off task_struct. Yes, I introduce new bit

This reverts commit 8f2f748b0656257153bcf0941df8d6060acc5ca6.
It causes some odd regression that we have not figured out, and it's too
late in the -rc series to try to figure it out now.
As reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov, it causes consistent hangs on his
laptop (Thinkpad x220: 2x cores + HT). They can be avoided by adding
calls to "rebuild_sched_domains();" in cpuset_cpu_[in]active() for the
CPU_{ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED/DOWN_PREPARE}_FROZEN cases, but it's not at all
clear why, and it makes no sense.
Konstantin's config doesn't even have CONFIG_CPUSETS enabled, just to
make things even more interesting. So it's not the cpusets, it's just
the scheduling domains.
So until this is understood, revert.

In 2008, commit 0c5d1eb77a8be ("genirq: record trigger type") modified the
way set_irq_type() handles the 'no trigger' condition. However, this has
an adverse effect on PCMCIA support on Intel StrongARM and probably PXA
platforms.
PCMCIA has several status signals on the socket which can trigger
interrupts; some of these status signals depend on the card's mode
(whether it is configured in memory or IO mode). For example, cards have
a 'Ready/IRQ' signal: in memory mode, this provides an indication to
PCMCIA that the card has finished its power up initialization. In IO
mode, it provides the device interrupt signal. Other status signals
switch between on-board battery status and loud speaker output.
In classical PCMCIA implementations, where you have a specific socket
controller, the controller provides a method to mask interrupts from the
socket, and importantly ignore any state transitions on the pins which
correspond with interrupts once masked. This masking prevents unwanted
events caused by the removal and application of socket power being
forwarded.
However, on platforms where there is no socket controller, the PCMCIA
status and interrupt signals are routed to standard edge-triggered GPIOs.
These GPIOs can be configured to interrupt on rising edge, falling edge,
or never. This is where the problems start.
Edge triggered interrupts are required to record events while disabled via
the usual methods of {free,request,disable,enable}_irq() to prevent
problems with dropped interrupts (eg, the 8390 driver uses disable_irq()
to defer the delivery of interrupts). As a result, these interfaces can
not be used to implement the desired behaviour.
The side effect of this is that if the 'Ready/IRQ' GPIO is disabled via
disable_irq() on suspend, and enabled via enable_irq() after resume, we
will record the state transitions caused by powering events as valid
interrupts, and foward them to the card driver, which may attempt to
access a card which is not powered up.
This leads delays resume while drivers spin in their interrupt handlers,
and complaints from drivers before they realize what's happened.
Moreover, in the case of the 'Ready/IRQ' signal, this is requested and
freed by the card driver itself; the PCMCIA core has no idea whether the
interrupt is requested, and, therefore, whether a call to disable_irq()
would be valid. (We tried this around 2.4.17 / 2.5.1 kernel era, and
ended up throwing it out because of this problem.)
Therefore, it was decided back in around 2002 to disable the edge
triggering instead, resulting in all state transitions on the GPIO being
ignored. That's what we actually need the hardware to do.
The commit above changes this behaviour; it explicitly prevents the 'no
trigger' state being selected.
The reason that request_irq() does not accept the 'no trigger' state is
for compatibility with existing drivers which do not provide their desired
triggering configuration. The set_irq_type() function is 'new' and not
used by non-trigger aware drivers.
Therefore, revert this change, and restore previously working platforms
back to their former state.

check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.
- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
task_struct.
- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.
For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().
Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.
Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.
Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock. This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

Now that CLONE_VFORK is killable, coredump_wait() no longer needs
complete_vfork_done(). zap_threads() should find and kill all tasks with
the same ->mm, this includes our parent if ->vfork_done is set.
mm_release() becomes the only caller, unexport complete_vfork_done().

Make vfork() killable.
Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.
However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.
Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.
NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

No functional changes.
Move the clear-and-complete-vfork_done code into the new trivial helper,
complete_vfork_done().

register_kprobe() aborts if the address of the new request falls in a
prohibited area (such as ftrace pouch, __kprobes annotated functions,
non-kernel text addresses, jump label text). We however don't return the
right error on this abort, resulting in a silent failure - incorrect
adding/reporting of kprobes ('perf probe do_fork+18' or 'perf probe
mcount' for instance).
In V2 we are incorporating Masami Hiramatsu's feedback.
This patch fixes it by returning -EINVAL upon failure.
While we are here, rename the label used for exit to be more appropriate.

Since commit 04c6862c055f ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels.
In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user
level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code
based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task
the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the
content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from
different tasks.
We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack
or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called
during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary.
That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which
uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for
per-thread context.
In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR
on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are
then filtered out by the SW filter.

This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the
perf_event interface.
The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all
sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call
counts, statistical call graph.
This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may
not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is
implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility.
To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
bit must be set in attr->sample_type.
Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv
levels.
The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the
perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters
to apply to the sampled taken branches.
Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist
or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter.
The following generic filters are currently defined:
- PERF_SAMPLE_USER
only branches whose targets are at the user level
- PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL
only branches whose targets are at the kernel level
- PERF_SAMPLE_HV
only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY
any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters)
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL
any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch)
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET
any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch)
- PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL
indirect call branches
Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional.
If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It
is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the
associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions
and availability (hv).
The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based
on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore
each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.
