sched: Add 'flags' argument to sched_{set,get}attr() syscalls

2014-02-21T20:27:10Z

Because of a recent syscall design debate; its deemed appropriate for each syscall to have a flags argument for future extension; without immediately requiring new syscalls.

sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling parameters ABI

2014-01-13T12:41:04Z

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE). In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task, that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints, i.e.: - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time, - a minimum interval between consecutive instances, - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed. Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended. Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with legacy binaries. For these reasons, this patch: - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational model described above; - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr(). Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them available on other architectures is straightforward. Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch, the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

Merge tag 'trace-3.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2013-11-16T20:23:18Z

Pull tracing update from Steven Rostedt: "This batch of changes is mostly clean ups and small bug fixes. The only real feature that was added this release is from Namhyung Kim, who introduced "set_graph_notrace" filter that lets you run the function graph tracer and not trace particular functions and their call chain. Tom Zanussi added some updates to the ftrace multibuffer tracing that made it more consistent with the top level tracing. One of the fixes for perf function tracing required an API change in RCU; the addition of "rcu_is_watching()". As Paul McKenney is pushing that change in this release too, he gave me a branch that included all the changes to get that working, and I pulled that into my tree in order to complete the perf function tracing fix" * tag 'trace-3.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Add rcu annotation for syscall trace descriptors tracing: Do not use signed enums with unsigned long long in fgragh output tracing: Remove unused function ftrace_off_permanent() tracing: Do not assign filp->private_data to freed memory tracing: Add helper function tracing_is_disabled() tracing: Open tracer when ftrace_dump_on_oops is used tracing: Add support for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events tracing: Make register/unregister_ftrace_command __init tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer recordmcount.pl: Add support for __fentry__ ftrace: Have control op function callback only trace when RCU is watching rcu: Do not trace rcu_is_watching() functions ftrace/x86: skip over the breakpoint for ftrace caller trace/trace_stat: use rbtree postorder iteration helper instead of opencoding ftrace: Add set_graph_notrace filter ftrace: Narrow down the protected area of graph_lock ftrace: Introduce struct ftrace_graph_data ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_graph_filter_enabled tracing: Fix potential out-of-bounds in trace_get_user() tracing: Show more exact help information about snapshot

syscalls.h: use gcc alias instead of assembler aliases for syscalls

Use standard gcc __attribute__((alias(foo))) to define the syscall aliases instead of custom assembler macros. This is far cleaner, and also fixes my LTO kernel build.

tracing: Add support for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events

2013-11-05T22:48:49Z

The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable of syscall events; this adds it. Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number to the trace array and remove the existing enabled bitmaps, which as a result are now redundant. The ftrace_event_file structs in turn contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable accounting. Adding ftrace_event_files also means we can remove the USE_CALL_FILTER bit, thus enabling multibuffer filter support for syscall events.

tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer

2013-11-05T21:50:20Z

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using filters in the multibuffer case: Before: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

microblaze: fix clone syscall

2013-08-14T00:57:48Z

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone"). The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the 4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd slot. This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc code will work correctly. All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

syscalls.h: slightly reduce the jungles of macros

2013-03-05T20:36:40Z

a) teach __MAP(num, m, ) to take empty list (with num being 0, of course) b) fold types__... and args__... declaration and initialization into SYSCALL_METADATA(num, ...), making their use conditional on num != 0. That allows to use the SYSCALL_METADATA instead of its near-duplicate in SYSCALL_DEFINE0. c) make SYSCALL_METADATA expand to nothing in case if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS is not defined; that allows to make SYSCALL_DEFINE0 and SYSCALL_DEFINEx definitions independent from CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS. d) kill SYSCALL_DEFINE - no users left (SYSCALL_DEFINE[0-6] is, of course, still alive and well).
