git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Lots of tweaks, small fixes, optimizations, and some helper functions
to help out the rest of the kernel to ease their use of trace events.
The big change for this release is the allowing of other tracers, such
as the latency tracers, to be used in the trace instances and allow
for function or function graph tracing to be in the top level
simultaneously"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. Heavy restructuring including
locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but
individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and
rationales of the the unified hierarchy
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt
is added.
Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css
iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
used to simplify memcg significantly"

System V shared memory
a) can be abused to trigger out-of-memory conditions and the standard
measures against out-of-memory do not work:
- it is not possible to use setrlimit to limit the size of shm segments.
- segments can exist without association with any processes, thus
the oom-killer is unable to free that memory.
b) is typically used for shared information - today often multiple GB.
(e.g. database shared buffers)
The current default is a maximum segment size of 32 MB and a maximum
total size of 8 GB. This is often too much for a) and not enough for
b), which means that lots of users must change the defaults.
This patch increases the default limits (nearly) to the maximum, which
is perfect for case b). The defaults are used after boot and as the
initial value for each new namespace.
Admins/distros that need a protection against a) should reduce the
limits and/or enable shm_rmid_forced.
Unix has historically required setting these limits for shared memory,
and Linux inherited such behavior. The consequence of this is added
complexity for users and administrators. One very common example are
Database setup/installation documents and scripts, where users must
manually calculate the values for these limits. This also requires
(some) knowledge of how the underlying memory management works, thus
causing, in many occasions, the limits to just be flat out wrong.
Disabling these limits sooner could have saved companies a lot of time,
headaches and money for support. But it's never too late, simplify
users life now.
Further notes:
- The patch only changes default, overrides behave as before:
# sysctl kernel.shmall=33554432
would recreate the previous limit for SHMMAX (for the current namespace).
- Disabling sysv shm allocation is possible with:
# sysctl kernel.shmall=0
(not a new feature, also per-namespace)
- The limits are intentionally set to a value slightly less than ULONG_MAX,
to avoid triggering overflows in user space apps.

Move the declaration/definition of allow_signal/disallow_signal to
signal.h/signal.c. The new place is more logical and allows to use the
static helpers in signal.c (see the next changes).
While at it, make them return void and remove the valid_signal() check.
Nobody checks the returned value, and in-kernel users must not pass the
wrong signal number.

When tracing a process in another pid namespace, it's important for fork
event messages to contain the child's pid as seen from the tracer's pid
namespace, not the parent's. Otherwise, the tracer won't be able to
correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the
child.
We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid
namespace attaches after we compute the pid_t value. However, sending a
bogus fork event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast
improvement over the status quo where we always send bogus fork event
messages to debuggers in a different pid namespace than the forking
process.

This brings in drivers/char/rtc.c functionality required for DECstation
and, should the maintainers decide to switch, Alpha systems to use
rtc-cmos.
Specifically these features are made available:
* RTC iomem rather than x86/PCI port I/O mapping, controlled with the
RTC_IOMAPPED macro as with the original driver. The DS1287A chip in all
DECstation systems is mapped in the host bus address space as a
contiguous block of 64 32-bit words of which the least significant byte
accesses the RTC chip for both reads and writes. All the address and
data window register accesses are made transparently by the chipset glue
logic so that the device appears directly mapped on the host bus.
* A way to set the size of the address space explicitly with the
newly-added `address_space' member of the platform part of the RTC
device structure. This avoids the unreliable heuristics that does not
work in a setup where the RTC is not explicitly accessed with the usual
address and data window register pair.
* The ability to use the RTC periodic interrupt as a system clock
device, which is implemented by arch/mips/kernel/cevt-ds1287.c for
DECstation systems and takes the RTC interrupt away from the RTC driver.
Eventually hooking back to the clock device's interrupt handler should
be possible for the purpose of the alarm clock and possibly also
update-in-progress interrupt, but this is not done by this change.
o To avoid interfering with the clock interrupt all the places where
the RTC interrupt mask is fiddled with are only executed if and IRQ
has been assigned to the RTC driver.
o To avoid changing the clock setup Register A is not fiddled with
if CMOS_RTC_FLAGS_NOFREQ is set in the newly-added `flags' member of
the platform part of the RTC device structure. Originally, in
drivers/char/rtc.c, this was keyed with the absence of the RTC
interrupt, just like the interrupt mask, but there only the periodic
interrupt frequency is set, whereas rtc-cmos also sets the divider
bits. Therefore a new flag is introduced so that systems where the
RTC interrupt is not usable rather than used as a system clock device
can fully initialise the RTC.
* A small clean-up is made to the IRQ assignment code that makes the IRQ
number hardcoded to -1 rather than arbitrary -ENXIO (or whatever error
happens to be returned by platform_get_irq) where no IRQ has been
assigned to the RTC driver (NO_IRQ might be another candidate, but it
looks like this macro has inconsistent or missing definitions and
limited use and might therefore be unsafe).
Verified to work correctly with a DECstation 5000/240 system.

With the optimizations around not clearing the full request at alloc
time, we are leaving some of the needed init for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
up to the user allocating the request.
Add a blk_rq_set_block_pc() that sets the command type to

with this type of request. Update callers to use this function instead

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings,
which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases.
For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch
events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process
has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens
it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim
(e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event
to differentiate one case from the other.
In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a
selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The
bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit
is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
have done over time. This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
implements a few performance improvements as well.
- Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
support, moving some code and data into alignment.c
- DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people. This
adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.
- Hibernation support for ARM
- Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules
- add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs
- rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
exceptions.
- support for big endian page tables
- fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
can record stack traces.
- Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.
- Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.

Douglas Anderson, recently pointed out an interesting problem due to which
udelay() was expiring earlier than it should.
While transitioning between frequencies few platforms may temporarily switch to
a stable frequency, waiting for the main PLL to stabilize.
For example: When we transition between very low frequencies on exynos, like
between 200MHz and 300MHz, we may temporarily switch to a PLL running at 800MHz.
No CPUFREQ notification is sent for that. That means there's a period of time
when we're running at 800MHz but loops_per_jiffy is calibrated at between 200MHz
and 300MHz. And so udelay behaves badly.
To get this fixed in a generic way, introduce another set of callbacks
get_intermediate() and target_intermediate(), only for drivers with
target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset.
get_intermediate() should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants
to switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency,
before jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of
sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in
target_intermediate() or target_index().
NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of
failures as core would send notifications for that.

Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should
optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to
dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver
to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will

This contains the architecture visible changes. Incidentally, only ARM
takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and
therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM
specific file. The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden
by anyone.
Replacements are as follows:
arch_scale_freq_power --> arch_scale_freq_capacity
arch_scale_smt_power --> arch_scale_smt_capacity
SCHED_POWER_SCALE --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
SCHED_POWER_SHIFT --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed
to "capacity" as appropriate.

We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned
for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics
and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.
Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually,
just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To
this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and
right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered
by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and
similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to
rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose
between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important
performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between
both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath,
optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large
amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in
and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic.
This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support
for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended.
It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS
locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable
to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact.
Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait
queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance
for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par
with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of
workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box,
aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput:
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
| Workload | throughput-increase | number of users |
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
| alltests | 20% | >1000 |
| custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 |
| high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 |
| shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 |
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core
x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up
to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits
were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no
performance regression have been seen at all.
