6cbf1c126c sched: do not hurt SCHED_BATCH on wakeup
measurements by Yanmin Zhang have shown that SCHED_BATCH tasks benefit
if they run the same place_entity() logic as SCHED_OTHER tasks - so
uniformize behavior in this area.

73c4efd2c8 sched: sysctl, proc_dointvec_minmax() expects int values for
min_sched_granularity_ns, max_sched_granularity_ns,
min_wakeup_granularity_ns and max_wakeup_granularity_ns are declared
"unsigned long".

This is incorrect since proc_dointvec_minmax() expects plain "int" guard
values.

This bug only triggers on big endian 64 bit arches.

c7af77b584 sched: mark rwsem functions as __sched for wchan/profiling
This following commit

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf8cb0909b531f9ae8f9b9d7e4eb35ba3505f07

un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched.
The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects
/proc/profile stats).  The following simple patch fixes this by properly
marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function.

Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and
down_write() proper as __sched.  For profiling, it is pretty much
useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know
_which_ one.  By going up another frame on the stack, the information
becomes much more useful.

In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the
changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree
with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not
enough.

051a1d1afa sched: fix crash on ia64, introduce task_current()
Some services (e.g. sched_setscheduler(), rt_mutex_setprio() and
sched_move_task()) must handle a given task differently in case it's the
'rq->curr' task on its run-queue. The task_running() interface is not
suitable for determining such tasks for platforms with one of the
following options:

#define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW
#define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

Due to the fact that it makes use of 'p->oncpu == 1' as a criterion but
such a task is not necessarily 'rq->curr'.

The detailed explanation is available here:

368d2c6358 Revert "hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl"
This reverts commit 54f9f80d65 ("hugetlb:
Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl")

Given the new sysctl nr_overcommit_hugepages, the boolean dynamic pool
sysctl is not needed, as its semantics can be expressed by 0 in the
overcommit sysctl (no dynamic pool) and non-0 in the overcommit sysctl
(pool enabled).

(Needed in 2.6.24 since it reverts a post-2.6.23 userspace-visible change)

d1c3fb1f8f hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl
hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl

While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I
became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient:

1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted
patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with
a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the
dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a
per-node basis seems inconsistent to me.

2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs
mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota
would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.

To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node
control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate
sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark
for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low
watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition

	nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0

indicates the same administrative setting as

	hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1

Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a
per-mount basis.

A few caveats:

1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is
incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then
try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal
huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is
benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked
correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync.

2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the
number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.

Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,
modified to use the new sysctl.

62f0f61e66 hrtimers: avoid overflow for large relative timeouts
Relative hrtimers with a large timeout value might end up as negative
timer values, when the current time is added in hrtimer_start().

This in turn is causing the clockevents_set_next() function to set an
huge timeout and sleep for quite a long time when we have a clock
source which is capable of long sleeps like HPET. With PIT this almost
goes unnoticed as the maximum delta is ~27ms. The non-hrt/nohz code
sorts this out in the next timer interrupt, so we never noticed that
problem which has been there since the first day of hrtimers.

This bug became more apparent in 2.6.24 which activates HPET on more
hardware.

f1dad166e8 Avoid potential NULL dereference in unregister_sysctl_table
register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g.  when kmalloc()
returns NULL or when sysctl check fails.

I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for
the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the
unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument.

This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're
dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight
possibility of an OOPS.

Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does
not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and
failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module
loading (in most of the cases).

So I think, that we can just have this check in unregister_sysctl_table
just to avoid accidental OOPS-es (actually, the unregister_sysctl_table()
did exactly this, before the start_unregistering() appeared).

5cd17569fd fix clone(CLONE_NEWPID)
Currently we are complicating the code in copy_process, the clone ABI, and
if we fix the bugs sys_setsid itself, with an unnecessary open coded
version of sys_setsid.

So just simplify everything and don't special case the session and pgrp of
the initial process in a pid namespace.

Having this special case actually presents to user space the classic linux
startup conditions with session == pgrp == 0 for /sbin/init.

We already handle sending signals to processes in a child pid namespace.

We need to handle sending signals to processes in a parent pid namespace
for cases like SIGCHILD and SIGIO.

This makes nothing extra visible inside a pid namespace.  So this extra
special case appears to have no redeeming merits.

Further removing this special case increases the flexibility of how we can
use pid namespaces, by not requiring the initial process in a pid namespace
to be a daemon.

We can also simplify in_range checks, we need only 2 comparisons, not 4.
If the lock is not in memory range, it should be either at the left of range

ce6bd420f4 futex: fix for futex_wait signal stack corruption
David Holmes found a bug in the -rt tree with respect to
pthread_cond_timedwait. After trying his test program on the latest git
from mainline, I found the bug was there too.  The bug he was seeing
that his test program showed, was that if one were to do a "Ctrl-Z" on a
process that was in the pthread_cond_timedwait, and then did a "bg" on
that process, it would return with a "-ETIMEDOUT" but early. That is,
the timer would go off early.

Looking into this, I found the source of the problem. And it is a rather
nasty bug at that.

Here's the relevant code from kernel/futex.c: (not in order in the file)

[...]
smlinkage long sys_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val,
                          struct timespec __user *utime, u32 __user *uaddr2,
                          u32 val3)
{
        struct timespec ts;
        ktime_t t, *tp = NULL;
        u32 val2 = 0;
        int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;

        if (utime && (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT || cmd == FUTEX_LOCK_PI)) {
                if (copy_from_user(&ts, utime, sizeof(ts)) != 0)
                        return -EFAULT;
                if (!timespec_valid(&ts))
                        return -EINVAL;

                t = timespec_to_ktime(ts);
                if (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT)
                        t = ktime_add(ktime_get(), t);
                tp = &t;
        }
[...]
        return do_futex(uaddr, op, val, tp, uaddr2, val2, val3);
}

[...]

long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout,
                u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3)
{
        int ret;
        int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;
        struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL;

        if (!(op & FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG))
                fshared = &current->mm->mmap_sem;

        switch (cmd) {
        case FUTEX_WAIT:
                ret = futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, timeout);

[...]

static int futex_wait(u32 __user *uaddr, struct rw_semaphore *fshared,
                      u32 val, ktime_t *abs_time)
{
[...]
               struct restart_block *restart;
                restart = &current_thread_info()->restart_block;
                restart->fn = futex_wait_restart;
                restart->arg0 = (unsigned long)uaddr;
                restart->arg1 = (unsigned long)val;
                restart->arg2 = (unsigned long)abs_time;
                restart->arg3 = 0;
                if (fshared)
                        restart->arg3 |= ARG3_SHARED;
                return -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK;
[...]

static long futex_wait_restart(struct restart_block *restart)
{
        u32 __user *uaddr = (u32 __user *)restart->arg0;
        u32 val = (u32)restart->arg1;
        ktime_t *abs_time = (ktime_t *)restart->arg2;
        struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL;

        restart->fn = do_no_restart_syscall;
        if (restart->arg3 & ARG3_SHARED)
                fshared = &current->mm->mmap_sem;
        return (long)futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, abs_time);
}

So when the futex_wait is interrupt by a signal we break out of the
hrtimer code and set up or return from signal. This code does not return
back to userspace, so we set up a RESTARTBLOCK.  The bug here is that we
save the "abs_time" which is a pointer to the stack variable "ktime_t t"
from sys_futex.

This returns and unwinds the stack before we get to call our signal. On
return from the signal we go to futex_wait_restart, where we update all
the parameters for futex_wait and call it. But here we have a problem
where abs_time is no longer valid.

I verified this with print statements, and sure enough, what abs_time
was set to ends up being garbage when we get to futex_wait_restart.

The solution I did to solve this (with input from Linus Torvalds)
was to add unions to the restart_block to allow system calls to
use the restart with specific parameters.  This way the futex code now
saves the time in a 64bit value in the restart block instead of storing
it on the stack.

Note: I'm a bit nervious to add "linux/types.h" and use u32 and u64
in thread_info.h, when there's a #ifdef __KERNEL__ just below that.
Not sure what that is there for.  If this turns out to be a problem, I've
tested this with using "unsigned int" for u32 and "unsigned long long" for
u64 and it worked just the same. I'm using u32 and u64 just to be
consistent with what the futex code uses.

77034937dc sched: fix crash in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino reported that sched_rr_get_interval()
crashes for SCHED_OTHER tasks that are on an idle runqueue.

The fix is to return a 0 timeslice for tasks that are on an idle
runqueue. (and which are not running, obviously)

this also shrinks the code a bit:

d842de871c sched: cpu accounting controller (V2)
Commit cfb5285660 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller.  This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.

The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df6406), with
these differences:

        - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
	  to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
	  2.6.25 after more discussions.
        - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
	  stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
	  classes
	- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
	  counter to be per-cpu
	- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
	  code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
	  needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
	  rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
	  kernel/sched.c)

The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.

Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

 Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
 some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
 the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
 cpuacct.usage.

e6ceb32aa2 wait_task_stopped(): pass correct exit_code to wait_noreap_copyout()
In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the
si_status member of siginfo, and this is simply set in the non WNOWAIT
case.

If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal
in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the
same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f

Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it
and add 0x7f if we were returning it in the user status field and that
isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.

32df81cbd5 Isolate the UTS namespace's domainname and hostname back
Commit 7d69a1f4a7 ("remove CONFIG_UTS_NS
and CONFIG_IPC_NS") by Cedric Le Goater accidentally removed the code
that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being
overwritten from another namespace.

In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx >
/proc/sys/kernel/(host|domain)name) cased the new value to be set in
init UTS namespace only.

Return the isolation back.

52bfb36050 time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ
Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex()
system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong
results if 'delta' is NULL.

add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc
to fix this API compatibility bug.

Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761

[ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ]

NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on
older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely. Suggested by Ulrich
Drepper.
