896f519963 cgroup: unify read path so that seq_file is always used
With the recent removal of cftype->read() and ->read_map(), only three
operations are remaining, ->read_u64(), ->read_s64() and
->read_seq_string().  Currently, the first two are handled directly
while the last is handled through seq_file.

It is trivial to serve the first two through the seq_file path too.
This patch restructures read path so that all operations are served
through cgroup_seqfile_show().  This makes all cgroup files seq_file -
single_open/release() are now used by default,
cgroup_seqfile_operations is dropped, and cgroup_file_operations uses
seq_read() for read.

This simplifies the code and makes the read path easy to convert to
use kernfs.

Note that, while cgroup_file_operations uses seq_read() for read, it
still uses generic_file_llseek() for seeking instead of seq_lseek().
This is different from cgroup_seqfile_operations but shouldn't break
anything and brings the seeking behavior aligned with kernfs.

a742c59de6 cgroup: unify cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string()
cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string() both implement about the
same buffering logic.  Unify the two into cgroup_file_write() which
always allocates dynamic buffer for simplicity and uses kstrto*()
instead of simple_strto*().

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes except for
possibly different error value from kstrsto*().

6e0755b08d cgroup: remove cftype->read(), ->read_map() and ->write()
In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

After recent updates, ->read() and ->read_map() don't have any user
left and ->write() never had any user.  Remove them.

51ffe41178 cpuset: convert away from cftype->read()
In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

All users of cftype->read() can be easily served, usually better, by
seq_file and other methods.  Rename cpuset_common_file_read() to
cpuset_common_read_seq_string() and convert it to use
read_seq_string() interface instead.  This not only simplifies the
code but also makes it more versatile.  Before, the file couldn't
output if the result is longer than PAGE_SIZE.  After the conversion,
seq_file automatically grows the buffer until the output can fit.

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes except for being
able to handle output larger than PAGE_SIZE.

The underlying problem is that perf is invoking call_rcu() with the
scheduler locks held, but in NOCB mode, call_rcu() will with high
probability invoke the scheduler -- which just might want to use its
locks.  The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is
to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which
does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks
afterwards.

One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to
simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer
held.  Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such
deferral, the task before us is threefold:

1.	Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held.

2.	Defer the wakeup in such cases.

3.	Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably
	sooner rather than later.

We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks
being held.  This works because the relevant locks are always acquired
with interrupts disabled.  We may defer more often than needed, but that
is at least safe.

The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and
per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup.

This flag is checked by the RCU core processing.  The __rcu_pending()
function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks()
to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt
where this flag is set.  Of course this is not sufficient because
scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to
be able to count on!).  So the flags are also checked on entry to any
state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle
state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state.

This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what
locks you might be holding, the key word being "should".

78e4bc34e5 rcu: Fix and comment ordering around wait_event()
It is all too easy to forget that wait_event() does not necessarily
imply a full memory barrier.  The case where it does not is where the
condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution.
This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves
locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a
lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event()
returns).

Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a
full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case.  This commit
also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers
relied on by wait_event() calls.

6193c76aba rcu: Kick CPU halfway to RCU CPU stall warning
When an RCU CPU stall warning occurs, the CPU invokes resched_cpu() on
itself.  This can help move the grace period forward in some situations,
but it would be even better to do this -before- the RCU CPU stall warning.
This commit therefore causes resched_cpu() to be called every five jiffies
once the system is halfway to an RCU CPU stall warning.

c925077c33 posix-timers: Fix full dynticks CPUs kick on timer rescheduling
A posix CPU timer can be rearmed while it is firing or after it is
notified with a signal. This can happen for example with timers that
were set with a non zero interval in timer_settime().

This rearming can happen in two places:

1) On timer firing time, which happens on the target's tick. If the timer
can't trigger a signal because it is ignored, it reschedules itself
to honour the timer interval.

2) On signal handling from the timer's notification target. This one
can be a different task than the timer's target itself. Once the
signal is notified, the notification target rearms the timer, again
to honour the timer interval.

When a timer is rearmed, we need to notify the full dynticks CPUs
such that they restart their tick in case they are running tasks that
may have a share in elapsing this timer.

Now the 1st case above handles full dynticks CPUs with a call to
posix_cpu_timer_kick_nohz() from the posix cpu timer firing code. But
the second case ignores the fact that some CPUs may run non-idle tasks
with their tick off. As a result, when a timer is resheduled after its signal
notification, the full dynticks CPUs may completely ignore it and not
tick on the timer as expected

This patch fixes this bug by handling both cases in one. All we need
is to move the kick to the rearming common code in posix_cpu_timer_schedule().

d4283c6541 posix-timers: Spare workqueue if there is no full dynticks CPU to kick
After a posix cpu timer is set, a workqueue is scheduled in order to
kick the full dynticks CPUs and let them restart their tick if
necessary in case the task they are running is concerned by the
new timer.

This kick is implemented by way of IPIs, which require interrupts
to be enabled, hence the need for a workqueue to raise them because
the posix cpu timer set path has interrupts disabled.

Now if there is no full dynticks CPU on the system, the workqueue is
still scheduled but it simply won't send any IPI and return immediately.

So lets spare that worqueue when it is not needed.

e8fcaa5c54 nohz: Convert a few places to use local per cpu accesses
A few functions use remote per CPU access APIs when they
deal with local values.

Just do the right conversion to improve performance, code
readability and debug checks.

While at it, lets extend some of these function names with *_this_cpu()
suffix in order to display their purpose more clearly.

afb2bc14e1 cgroup: don't guarantee cgroup.procs is sorted if sane_behavior
For some reason, tasks and cgroup.procs guarantee that the result is
sorted.  This is the only reason this whole pidlist logic is necessary
instead of just iterating through sorted member tasks.  We can't do
anything about the existing interface but at least ensure that such
expectation doesn't exist for the new interface so that pidlist logic
may be removed in the distant future.

This patch scrambles the sort order if sane_behavior so that the
output is usually not sorted in the new interface.

045023658c cgroup: remove cgroup_pidlist->use_count
After the recent changes, pidlist ref is held only between
cgroup_pidlist_start() and cgroup_pidlist_stop() during which
cgroup->pidlist_mutex is also held.  IOW, the reference count is
redundant now.  While in use, it's always one and pidlist_mutex is
held - holding the mutex has exactly the same protection.

This patch collapses destroy_dwork queueing into cgroup_pidlist_stop()
so that pidlist_mutex is not released inbetween and drops
pidlist->use_count.

This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior changes.

4bac00d16a cgroup: load and release pidlists from seq_file start and stop respectively
Currently, pidlists are reference counted from file open and release
methods.  This means that holding onto an open file may waste memory
and reads may return data which is very stale.  Both aren't critical
because pidlists are keyed and shared per namespace and, well, the
user isn't supposed to have large delay between open and reads.

cgroup is planned to be converted to use kernfs and it'd be best if we
can stick to just the seq_file operations - start, next, stop and
show.  This can be achieved by loading pidlist on demand from start
and release with time delay from stop, so that consecutive reads don't
end up reloading the pidlist on each iteration.  This would remove the
need for hooking into open and release while also avoiding issues with
holding onto pidlist for too long.

The previous patches implemented delayed release and restructured
pidlist handling so that pidlists can be loaded and released from
seq_file start / stop.  This patch actually moves pidlist load to
start and release to stop.

This means that pidlist is pinned only between start and stop and may
go away between two consecutive read calls if the two calls are apart
by more than CGROUP_PIDLIST_DESTROY_DELAY.  cgroup_pidlist_start()
thus can't re-use the stored cgroup_pid_list_open_file->pidlist
directly.  During start, it's only used as a hint indicating whether
this is the first start after open or not and pidlist is always looked
up or created.

pidlist_mutex locking and reference counting are moved out of
pidlist_array_load() so that pidlist_array_load() can perform lookup
and creation atomically.  While this enlarges the area covered by
pidlist_mutex, given how the lock is used, it's highly unlikely to be
noticeable.

v2: Refreshed on top of the updated "cgroup: introduce struct
    cgroup_pidlist_open_file".

069df3b7ae cgroup: remove cgroup_pidlist->rwsem
cgroup_pidlist locking is needlessly complicated.  It has outer
cgroup->pidlist_mutex to protect the list of pidlists associated with
a cgroup and then each pidlist has rwsem to synchronize updates and
reads.  Given that the only read access is from seq_file operations
which are always invoked back-to-back, the rwsem is a giant overkill.
All it does is adding unnecessary complexity.

This patch removes cgroup_pidlist->rwsem and protects all accesses to
pidlists belonging to a cgroup with cgroup->pidlist_mutex.
pidlist->rwsem locking is removed if it's nested inside
cgroup->pidlist_mutex; otherwise, it's replaced with
cgroup->pidlist_mutex locking.

62236858f3 cgroup: introduce struct cgroup_pidlist_open_file
For pidlist files, seq_file->private pointed to the loaded
cgroup_pidlist; however, pidlist loading is planned to be moved to
cgroup_pidlist_start() for kernfs conversion and seq_file->private
needs to carry more information from open to allow that.

This patch introduces struct cgroup_pidlist_open_file which contains
type, cgrp and pidlist and updates pidlist seq_file->private to point
to it using seq_open_private() and seq_release_private().  Note that
this eventually will be replaced by kernfs_open_file.

While this patch makes more information available to seq_file
operations, they don't use it yet and this patch doesn't introduce any
behavior changes except for allocation of the extra private struct.

v2: use __seq_open_private() instead of seq_open_private() for brevity
    as suggested by Li.

b1a2136731 cgroup: implement delayed destruction for cgroup_pidlist

and reads may return data which is very stale.  Both aren't critical
because pidlists are keyed and shared per namespace and, well, the

end up reloading the pidlist on each iteration.  This would remove the
need for hooking into open and release while also avoiding issues with
holding onto pidlist for too long.

This patch implements delayed release of pidlist.  As pidlists could
be lingering on cgroup removal waiting for the timer to expire, cgroup
free path needs to queue the destruction work item immediately and
flush.  As those work items are self-destroying, each work item can't
be flushed directly.  A new workqueue - cgroup_pidlist_destroy_wq - is
added to serve as flush domain.

Note that this patch just adds delayed release on top of the current
implementation and doesn't change where pidlist is loaded and
released.  Following patches will make those changes.

ac1e69aa78 cgroup: don't skip seq_open on write only opens on pidlist files
Currently, cgroup_pidlist_open() skips seq_open() and pidlist loading
if the file is opened write-only, which is a sensible optimization as
pidlist loading can be costly and there often are occasions where
tasks or cgroup.procs is opened write-only.  However, pidlist init and
release are planned to be moved to cgroup_pidlist_start/stop()
respectively which would make this optimization unnecessary.

This patch removes the optimization and always fully initializes
pidlist files regardless of open mode.  This will help moving pidlist
handling to start/stop by unifying rw paths and removes the need for
specifying cftype->release() in addition to .release in
cgroup_pidlist_operations as file->f_op is now always overridden.  As
pidlist files were the only user of cftype->release(), the next patch
will remove the method.

e605b36575 cgroup: fix cgroup_subsys_state leak for seq_files
If a cgroup file implements either read_map() or read_seq_string(),
such file is served using seq_file by overriding file->f_op to
cgroup_seqfile_operations, which also overrides the release method to
single_release() from cgroup_file_release().

Because cgroup_file_open() didn't use to acquire any resources, this
used to be fine, but since f7d58818ba42 ("cgroup: pin
cgroup_subsys_state when opening a cgroupfs file"), cgroup_file_open()
pins the css (cgroup_subsys_state) which is put by
cgroup_file_release().  The patch forgot to update the release path
for seq_files and each open/release cycle leaks a css reference.

Fix it by updating cgroup_file_release() to also handle seq_files and
using it for seq_file release path too.

This is an actual deadlock because an interrupt doing an allocation will
hit get_mems_allowed()->...->__read_seqcount_begin(), which will spin
forever waiting for the write side to complete.

schedule_debug() ignores in_atomic() if prev->exit_state != 0.
This is not what we want, ->exit_state is set by exit_notify()
but we should complain until the task does the last schedule()
in TASK_DEAD.

See also 7407251a0e2e "PF_DEAD cleanup", I think this ancient
commit explains why schedule() had to rely on ->exit_state,
until that commit exit_notify() disabled preemption and set
PF_DEAD which was used to detect the exiting task.

bb8cbbfee6 tasks/fork: Remove unnecessary child->exit_state
A zombie task obviously can't fork(), remove the unnecessary
initialization of child->exit_state. It is zero anyway after
dup_task_struct().

Note: copy_process() is huge and it has a lot of chaotic
initializations, probably it makes sense to move them into the
new helper called by dup_task_struct().

8dce7a9a6f lockdep: Be nice about building from userspace
Lockdep is an awesome piece of code which detects locking issues
which are relevant both to userspace and kernelspace. We can
easily make lockdep work in userspace since there is really no
kernel spacific magic going on in the code.

All we need is to wrap two functions which are used by lockdep
and are very kernel specific.

Doing that will allow tools located in tools/ to easily utilize
lockdep's code for their own use.

71ad88efeb perf: Add active_entry list head to struct perf_event
This patch adds a new field to the struct perf_event.
It is intended to be used to chain events which are
active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer
for PMUs which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e.,
free running read-only counters. Active events are chained
as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use.

To save space we use a union with hlist_entry as both
are mutually exclusive (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

5c4853b60c lockdep: Simplify a bit hardirq <-> softirq transitions
Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require
an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication,
just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions
return values and parameters.

It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that
softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs
but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter
case assume both states.

32e475d76a sched: Expose preempt_schedule_irq()
Tony reported that aa0d53260596 ("ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq")
broke PREEMPT=n builds on ia64.

Ok, wrapped my brain around it. I tripped over the magic asm foo which
has a single need_resched check and schedule point for both sys call
return and interrupt return.

So you need the schedule_preempt_irq() for kernel preemption from
interrupt return while on a normal syscall preemption a schedule would
be sufficient. But using schedule_preempt_irq() is not harmful here in
any way. It just sets the preempt_active bit also in cases where it
would not be required.

Even on preempt=n kernels adding the preempt_active bit is completely
harmless. So instead of having an extra function, moving the existing
one out of the ifdef PREEMPT looks like the sanest thing to do.

It would also allow getting rid of various other sti/schedule/cli asm
magic in other archs.

The two fundamental things I know we can not allow are:
- A shared signal queue aka CLONE_THREAD.  Because we compute the pid
  and uid of the signal when we place it in the queue.

- Changing the pid and by extention pid_namespace of an existing
  process.

From a parents perspective there is nothing special about the pid
namespace, to deny CLONE_PARENT, because the parent simply won't know or
care.

From the childs perspective all that is special really are shared signal
queues.

User mode threading with CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND and tasks
in different pid namespaces is almost certainly going to break because
it is complicated.  But shared signal handlers can look at per thread
information to know which pid namespace a process is in, so I don't know
of any reason not to support CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND threads
at the kernel level.  It would be absolutely stupid to implement but
that is a different thing.

So hmm.

Because it can do no harm, and because it is a regression let's remove
the CLONE_PARENT check and send it stable.

8ae516aa8b This includes two fixes.
1) is a bug fix that happens when root does the following:
 
   echo function_graph > current_tracer
   modprobe foo
   echo nop > current_tracer
 
 This causes the ftrace internal accounting to get screwed up and
 crashes ftrace, preventing the user from using the function tracer
 after that.
 
 2) if a TRACE_EVENT has a string field, and NULL is given for it.
 
 The internal trace event code does a strlen() and strcpy() on the
 source of field. If it is NULL it causes the system to oops.
 
 This bug has been there since 2.6.31, but no TRACE_EVENT ever passed
 in a NULL to the string field, until now.
