sched: Fix RLIMIT_RTTIME when PI-boosting to RT

2015-05-09T22:16:32Z

commit 746db9443ea57fd9c059f62c4bfbf41cf224fe13 upstream. When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

perf: Fix irq_work 'tail' recursion

2015-05-09T22:16:31Z

commit d525211f9d1be8b523ec7633f080f2116f5ea536 upstream. Vince reported a watchdog lockup like: [] perf_tp_event+0xc4/0x210 [] perf_trace_lock+0x12a/0x160 [] lock_release+0x130/0x260 [] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x24/0x40 [] do_send_sig_info+0x5d/0x80 [] send_sigio_to_task+0x12f/0x1a0 [] send_sigio+0xae/0x100 [] kill_fasync+0x97/0xf0 [] perf_event_wakeup+0xd4/0xf0 [] perf_pending_event+0x33/0x60 [] irq_work_run_list+0x4c/0x80 [] irq_work_run+0x18/0x40 [] smp_trace_irq_work_interrupt+0x3f/0xc0 [] trace_irq_work_interrupt+0x6d/0x80 Which is caused by an irq_work generating new irq_work and therefore not allowing forward progress. This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again.

ftrace: Fix ftrace enable ordering of sysctl ftrace_enabled

2015-05-09T22:16:27Z

commit 524a38682573b2e15ab6317ccfe50280441514be upstream. Some archs (specifically PowerPC), are sensitive with the ordering of the enabling of the calls to function tracing and setting of the function to use to be traced. That is, update_ftrace_function() sets what function the ftrace_caller trampoline should call. Some archs require this to be set before calling ftrace_run_update_code(). Another bug was discovered, that ftrace_startup_sysctl() called ftrace_run_update_code() directly. If the function the ftrace_caller trampoline changes, then it will not be updated. Instead a call to ftrace_startup_enable() should be called because it tests to see if the callback changed since the code was disabled, and will tell the arch to update appropriately. Most archs do not need this notification, but PowerPC does. The problem could be seen by the following commands: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace The trace will show that function tracing was not active.

ftrace: Fix en(dis)able graph caller when en(dis)abling record via sysctl

2015-05-09T22:16:27Z

commit 1619dc3f8f555ee1cdd3c75db3885d5715442b12 upstream. When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Consider the following situation. # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled After this ftrace_enabled = 0. # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never called. # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not desired. Further if we execute the following after this: # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on the ARM platform. On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called, it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop, then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller. ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore, if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row, then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to raise a warning. Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state, and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

console: Fix console name size mismatch

2015-05-09T22:16:24Z

commit 30a22c215a0007603ffc08021f2e8b64018517dd upstream. commit 6ae9200f2cab7 ("enlarge console.name") increased the storage for the console name to 16 bytes, but not the corresponding struct console_cmdline::name storage. Console names longer than 8 bytes cause read beyond end-of-string and failure to match console; I'm not sure if there are other unexpected consequences.

kdb: fix incorrect counts in KDB summary command output

2015-05-09T22:16:19Z

commit 146755923262037fc4c54abc28c04b1103f3cc51 upstream. The output of KDB 'summary' command should report MemTotal, MemFree and Buffers output in kB. Current codes report in unit of pages. A define of K(x) as is defined in the code, but not used. This patch would apply the define to convert the values to kB. Please include me on Cc on replies. I do not subscribe to linux-kernel.

sched/autogroup: Fix failure to set cpu.rt_runtime_us

2015-05-09T22:16:18Z

commit 1fe89e1b6d270aa0d3452c60d38461ea589594e3 upstream. Because task_group() uses a cache of autogroup_task_group(), whose output depends on sched_class, switching classes can generate problems. In particular, when started as fair, the cache points to the autogroup, so when switching to RT the tg_rt_schedulable() test fails for every cpu.rt_{runtime,period}_us change because now the autogroup has tasks and no runtime. Furthermore, going back to the previous semantics of varying task_group() with sched_class has the down-side that the sched_debug output varies as well, even though the task really is in the autogroup. Therefore add an autogroup exception to tg_has_rt_tasks() -- such that both (all) task_group() usages in sched/core now have one. And remove all the remnants of the variable task_group() output.

ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systems

2015-03-06T00:39:20Z

commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream. Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid potential multiplication overflows were added in commit 5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values) Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/ EINVAL. ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by the bug. See bugs: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074 This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication overflows aren't possible there.

sched/rt: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target

commit 80e3d87b2c5582db0ab5e39610ce3707d97ba409 upstream. This patch adds checks that prevens futile attempts to move rt tasks to a CPU with active tasks of equal or higher priority. This reduces run queue lock contention and improves the performance of a well known OLTP benchmark by 0.7%.
