Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the
resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle.
If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of
the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume
phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this
bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were
saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames).
Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend
image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for
the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if
possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page
frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend).
The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are
loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses,
as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are
stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the
remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done
atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).

Introduce the memory bitmap data structure and make swsusp use in the suspend
phase.
The current swsusp's internal data structure is not very efficient from the
memory usage point of view, so it seems reasonable to replace it with a data
structure that will require less memory, such as a pair of bitmaps.
The idea is to use bitmaps that may be allocated as sets of individual pages,
so that we can avoid making allocations of order greater than 0. For this
reason the memory bitmap structure consists of several linked lists of objects
that contain pointers to memory pages with the actual bitmap data. Still, for
a typical system all of these lists fit in a single page, so it's reasonable
to introduce an additional mechanism allowing us to allocate all of them
efficiently without sacrificing the generality of the design. This is done
with the help of the chain_allocator structure and associated functions.
We need to use two memory bitmaps during the suspend phase of the
suspend-resume cycle. One of them is necessary for marking the saveable
pages, and the second is used to mark the pages in which to store the copies
of them (aka image pages).
First, the bitmaps are created and we allocate as many image pages as needed
(the corresponding bits in the second bitmap are set as soon as the pages are
allocated). Second, the bits corresponding to the saveable pages are set in
the first bitmap and the saveable pages are copied to the image pages.
Finally, the first bitmap is used to save the kernel virtual addresses of the
saveable pages and the second one is used to save the contents of the image
pages.

The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU
hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines. However, we
should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else
after we have disabled them.
The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to
kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should
better be static. Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an
error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and
enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have
been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final
option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free
enough pages to allow a local allocation.
However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory
of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with
46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in
dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during
global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems).
This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim
occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we
1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache
pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone.
2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages
(patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter)
are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable).
The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node
specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach
(current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be
allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is
unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based
slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier.
The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5%
Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

The scheduler will stop load balancing if the most busy processor contains
processes pinned via processor affinity.
The scheduler currently only does one search for busiest cpu. If it cannot
pull any tasks away from the busiest cpu because they were pinned then the
scheduler goes into a corner and sulks leaving the idle processors idle.
F.e. If you have processor 0 busy running four tasks pinned via taskset,
there are none on processor 1 and one just started two processes on
processor 2 then the scheduler will not move one of the two processes away
from processor 2.
This patch fixes that issue by forcing the scheduler to come out of its
corner and retrying the load balancing by considering other processors for
load balancing.
This patch was originally developed by John Hawkes and discussed at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113901368523205&w=2.
I have removed extraneous material and gone back to equipping struct rq
with the cpu the queue is associated with since this makes the patch much
easier and it is likely that others in the future will have the same
difficulty of figuring out which processor owns which runqueue.
The overhead added through these patches is a single word on the stack if
the kernel is configured to support 32 cpus or less (32 bit). For 32 bit
environments the maximum number of cpus that can be configued is 255 which
would result in the use of 32 bytes additional on the stack. On IA64 up to
1k cpus can be configured which will result in the use of 128 additional
bytes on the stack. The maximum additional cache footprint is one
cacheline. Typically memory use will be much less than a cacheline and the
additional cpumask will be placed on the stack in a cacheline that already
contains other local variable.

Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in
mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet.
In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to
create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init
initcall.
Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch)
moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not
early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular,
topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the
UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving
param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race,
but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module
to load earlier still.
The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the
kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

The current implementation of futex_lock_pi returns -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
in case that the lock operation has been interrupted by a signal. This
results in a return of -EINTR to userspace in case there is an handler for
the signal. This is wrong, because userspace expects that the lock
function does not return in any case of signal delivery.
This was not caught by my insufficient test case, but triggered a nasty
userspace problem in an high load application scenario. Unfortunately also
glibc does not check for this invalid return value.
Using -ERSTARTNOINTR makes sure, that the interrupted syscall is restarted.
The restart block related code can be safely removed, as the possible
timeout argument is an absolute time value.

Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:
1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html
Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.
2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html
The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.
The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

futex_find_get_task:
if (p->state == EXIT_ZOMBIE || p->exit_state == EXIT_ZOMBIE)
return NULL;
I can't understand this. First, p->state can't be EXIT_ZOMBIE. The
->exit_state check looks strange too. Sub-threads or tasks whose ->parent
ignores SIGCHLD go directly to EXIT_DEAD state (I am ignoring a ptrace
case). Why EXIT_DEAD tasks should be ok? Yes, EXIT_ZOMBIE is more
important (a task may stay zombie for a long time), but this doesn't mean
we should explicitely ignore other EXIT_XXX states.

sched_setscheduler() looks at ->signal->rlim[]. It is unsafe do
dereference ->signal unless tasklist_lock or ->siglock is held (or p ==
current). We pin the task structure, but this can't prevent from
release_task()->__exit_signal() which sets ->signal = NULL.
Restore tasklist_lock across the setscheduler call.

Use a private lock instead. It protects all per-cpu data structures in
workqueue.c, including the workqueues list.
Fix a bug in schedule_on_each_cpu(): it was forgetting to lock down the
per-cpu resources.
Unfixed long-standing bug: if someone unplugs the CPU identified by
`singlethread_cpu' the kernel will get very sick.

We found this issue last week w/ the -RT kernel, but it seems the same
issue is in mainline as well.
Basically it is possible for futex_unlock_pi to return without actually
freeing the lock. This is due to buggy logic in the use of
futex_handle_fault() and its attempt argument in a failure case.
Looking at futex.c the logic is as follows:
1) In futex_unlock_pi() we start w/ ret=0 and we go down to the first
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), where we find uval==-EFAULT. We then
jump to the pi_faulted label.
2) From pi_faulted: We increment attempt, unlock the sem and hit the
retry label.
3) From the retry label, with ret still zero, we again hit EFAULT on the
first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), and again goto the pi_faulted
label.
4) Again from pi_faulted: we increment attempt and enter the
conditional, where we call futex_handle_fault.
5) futex_handle_fault fails, and we goto the out_unlock_release_sem
label.
6) From out_unlock_release_sem we return, and since ret is still zero,
we return without error, while never actually unlocking the lock.
Issue #1: at the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() we should probably
be setting ret=-EFAULT before jumping to pi_faulted: However in our case
this doesn't really affect anything, as the glibc we're using ignores the
error value from futex_unlock_pi().
Issue #2: Look at futex_handle_fault(), its first conditional will return
-EFAULT if attempt is >= 2. However, from the "if(attempt++)
futex_handle_fault(attempt)" logic above, we'll *never* call
futex_handle_fault when attempt is less then two. So we never get a chance
to even try to fault the page in.
The following patch addresses these two issues by 1) Always setting ret to
-EFAULT if futex_handle_fault fails, and 2) Removing the = in
futex_handle_fault's (attempt >= 2) check.
I'm really not sure this is the right fix, but wanted to bring it up so
folks knew the issue is alive and well in the current -git tree. From
looking at the git logs the logic was first introduced (then later copied
to other places) in the following commit almost a year ago:

sys_getppid() optimization can access a freed memory. On kernels with
DEBUG_SLAB turned ON, this results in Oops. As Dave Hansen noted, this
optimization is also unsafe for memory hotplug.
So this patch always takes the lock to be safe.
