sched: fix the theoretical signal_wake_up() vs schedule() race

2013-08-13T15:19:26Z

This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); schedule(); can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition, it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending). However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with "if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section. The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already does by the same reason. We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(), for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change the default implementation. While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers. Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for prepare_to_wait().

mm: sched: numa: fix NUMA balancing when !SCHED_DEBUG

2013-07-31T21:41:02Z

Commit 3105b86a9fee ("mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG") defined numabalancing_enabled to control the enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing, but it is never used. I believe the intention was to use this in place of sched_feat_numa(NUMA). Currently, if SCHED_DEBUG is not defined, sched_feat_numa(NUMA) will never be changed from the initial "false".

sched: Ensure update_cfs_shares() is called for parents of continuously-running tasks

2013-07-30T20:14:37Z

We typically update a task_group's shares within the dequeue/enqueue path. However, continuously running tasks sharing a CPU are not subject to these updates as they are only put/picked. Unfortunately, when we reverted f269ae046 (in 17bc14b7), we lost the augmenting periodic update that was supposed to account for this; resulting in a potential loss of fairness. To fix this, re-introduce the explicit update in update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() [called via entity_tick()].

sched: Fix some kernel-doc warnings

kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files

2013-07-14T23:36:59Z

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

sched: Fix HRTICK

2013-07-12T11:52:58Z

David reported that the HRTICK sched feature was borken; which was enough motivation for me to finally fix it ;-) We should not allow hrtimer code to do softirq wakeups while holding scheduler locks. The hrtimer code only needs this when we accidentally try to program an expired time. We don't much care about those anyway since we have the regular tick to fall back to.

2013-07-06T21:09:38Z

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The timer changes contain: - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid duplication by other architectures - alarm timer updates - clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities - clocksource/events support for new hardware - precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature) - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross tree merge dependencies. The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic collected them last minute." * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (59 commits) hrtimer: Remove unused variable hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread context clocksource: Reselect clocksource when watchdog validated high-res capability posix-cpu-timers: don't account cpu timer after stopped thread runtime accounting posix_timers: fix racy timer delta caching on task exit posix-timers: correctly get dying task time sample in posix_cpu_timer_schedule() selftests: add basic posix timers selftests posix_cpu_timers: consolidate expired timers check posix_cpu_timers: consolidate timer list cleanups posix_cpu_timer: consolidate expiry time type tick: Sanitize broadcast control logic tick: Prevent uncontrolled switch to oneshot mode tick: Make oneshot broadcast robust vs. CPU offlining x86: xen: Sync the CMOS RTC as well as the Xen wallclock x86: xen: Sync the wallclock when the system time is set timekeeping: Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock gtod notifier timekeeping: Pass flags instead of multiple bools to timekeeping_update() xen: Remove clock_was_set() call in the resume path hrtimers: Support resuming with two or more CPUs online (but stopped) timer: Fix jiffies wrap behavior of round_jiffies_common() ...

posix-cpu-timers: don't account cpu timer after stopped thread runtime accounting

2013-07-04T16:02:30Z

When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account) increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting. However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop signal->cputimer accounting. This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.
