A hot-removed CPU may have ID that is numerically larger than the number of
existing CPUs in the system (e.g. we can unplug CPU 4 from a system that
has CPUs 0, 1 and 4).
Thus the WARN_ONs should check whether the CPU in question is currently
present, not whether its ID value is less than num_present_cpus().

We're copying the on-stack structure to userspace, but forgot to give
the right number of bytes to copy. This allows the calling process to
obtain up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from the stack (and possibly adjacent
kernel memory).
This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack
(attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of
the userspace-provided buffer untouched.
Found using kmemcheck + trinity.

While debugging the crash with the bad nr_running accounting, I hit
another bug where, after running my sched deadline test, I was getting
failures to take a CPU offline. It was giving me a -EBUSY error.
Adding a bunch of trace_printk()s around, I found that the cpu
notifier that called sched_cpu_inactive() was returning a failure. The
overflow value was coming up negative?
Talking this over with Juri, the problem is that the total_bw update was
suppose to be made by dl_overflow() which, during my tests, seemed to
not be called. Adding more trace_printk()s, it wasn't that it wasn't
called, but it exited out right away with the check of new_bw being
equal to p->dl.dl_bw. The new_bw calculates the ratio between period and
runtime. The bug is that if you set a deadline, you do not need to set
a period if you plan on the period being equal to the deadline. That
is, if period is zero and deadline is not, then the system call should
set the period to be equal to the deadline. This is done elsewhere in
the code.
The fix is easy, check if period is set, and if it is not, then use the
deadline.

Rostedt writes:
My test suite was locking up hard when enabling mmiotracer. This was due
to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out
when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug
test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and
would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The
stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash
at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again.
I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent
reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches,
and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched
deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me
to what the bug was.
All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU
hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run
of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self
test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The
deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to
fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work
(there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause
problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup
hard.
I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box,
and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently
lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem,
but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the
stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard.
After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The
function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite
loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I
added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and
never decrementing!
Looking at the deadline code I found:
static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl);
dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p);
}
static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
update_curr_dl(rq);
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags);
dec_nr_running(rq);
}
And this:
if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) {
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0);
if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted)))
dl_se->dl_throttled = 1;
else
enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl))
resched_task(curr);
}
Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we
call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has
underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl()
calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is
where we get nr_running out of sync.
[snip]
Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer
fires:
dl_se->dl_throttled = 0;
if (p->on_rq) {
enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr))
check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0);
else
resched_task(rq->curr);
This patch does two things:
- correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered
!running);
- fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(),
since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a
task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if
you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default
trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be
synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place
with respect to events on other CPUs.
The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care
about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple
atomic counter that is incremented for every event.
Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You
can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock

This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer
support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd420c),
but revised as below:
Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from
array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list,
so this patch also change to the list design.
rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func,
to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete.
Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now,
but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive
in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow
one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using
perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently.
(Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe don't have this
limitation now)

In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
interrupt thread from software.
The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
an hardware interrupt.
To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
interrupt.
Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
significantly.

synchronize_irq() waits for hard irq and threaded handlers to complete
before returning. For some special cases we only need to make sure
that the hard interrupt part of the irq line is not in progress when
we disabled the - possibly shared - interrupt at the device level.
A proper use case for this was provided by Russell. The sdhci driver
requires some irq triggered functions to be run in thread context. The
current implementation of the thread context is a sdio private kthread
construct, which has quite some shortcomings. These can be avoided
when the thread is directly associated to the device interrupt via the
generic threaded irq infrastructure.
Though there is a corner case related to run time power management
where one side disables the device interrupts at the device level and
needs to make sure, that an already running hard interrupt handler has
completed before proceeding further. Though that hard interrupt
handler might wake the associated thread, which in turn can request
the runtime PM to reenable the device. Using synchronize_irq() leads
to an immediate deadlock of the irq thread waiting for the PM lock and
the synchronize_irq() waiting for the irq thread to complete.
Due to the fact that it is sufficient for this case to ensure that no
hard irq handler is executing a new function which avoids the check
for the thread is required.
Add a function, which just monitors the hard irq parts and ignores the
threaded handlers.

The generic sched_clock registration function was previously
done lockless, due to the fact that it was expected to be called
only once. However, now there are systems that may register
multiple sched_clock sources, for which the lack of locking has
casued problems:
If two sched_clock sources are registered we may end up in a
situation where a call to sched_clock() may be accessing the
epoch cycle count for the old counter and the cycle count for the
new counter. This can lead to confusing results where
sched_clock() values jump and then are reset to 0 (due to the way
the registration function forces the epoch_ns to be 0).
Fix this by reorganizing the registration function to hold the
seqlock for as short a time as possible while we update the
clock_data structure for a new counter. We also put any
accumulated time into epoch_ns instead of resetting the time to
0 so that the clock doesn't reset after each successful
registration.

This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has
ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like
once-a-year oops during boot. I'm wondering whether the better
approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which
disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this
on-demand craziness.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000003c
IP: [<cc90b4ad>] cgroup_cfts_commit+0x27/0x1c1

Call Trace:

This happens in a corner case. If CGROUP_SCHED=y but CFS_BANDWIDTH=n &&
FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=n && RT_GROUP_SCHED=n, we have:
cpu_files[] = {
{ } /* terminate */
}
When we pass cpu_files to cgroup_apply_cftypes(), as cpu_files[0].ss
is NULL, we'll access NULL pointer.
The bug was introduced by commit de00ffa56e
("cgroup: make cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes use cgroup_add_cftypes()").

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.
Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().
Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.
tj: Improved patch description and comment. Moved pinning above
WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a
"fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke
sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value
passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to
userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't
notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very
much and LTP inotify tests ignore them.
Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

If CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y, then no CPU will ever have RCU callbacks
because these callbacks will instead be handled by the rcuo kthreads.
However, the current version of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ nevertheless checks for RCU
callbacks. This commit therefore creates static inline implementations
of rcu_prepare_for_idle() and rcu_cleanup_after_idle() that are no-ops
when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y.

For better use of CPU idle time, allow the scheduler to select the CPU
on which the SRCU grace period work would be scheduled. This improves
idle residency time and conserves power.
This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.

Because jiffies is one of a very few variables marked "volatile", there
is no need to use ACCESS_ONCE() when accessing it. This commit therefore
removes the redundant ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers.

The ->n_force_qs_lh field is accessed without the benefit of any
synchronization, so this commit adds the needed ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers.
Yes, increments to ->n_force_qs_lh can be lost, but contention should
be low and the field is strictly statistical in nature, so this is not
a problem.
