The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it
to a sign-extended u64 type.
Change the type to unsigned long so we get the correct result.

KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the
clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a
potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes
unstable.
We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in
the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever
the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through
a full update cycle.

David reported:
Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
similar.
Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
is part of the top-level process's thread group.
I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
64-bit binaries).
For example:
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$
The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.
I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
are the outer-most ones.

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.
This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().

There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device
that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create
a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly.
A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called
with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.
In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

When performing cpu hotplug tests the kernel printk log buffer gets flooded

analyzing a dump this might have removed more interesting stuff out of the

get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us update idle/iowait counters
unconditionally if the given CPU is in the idle loop.
This doesn't work well outside of CPU governors which are singletons
so nobody (except for IRQ) can race with them.
We will need to use both functions from /proc/stat handler to properly
handle nohz idle/iowait times.
Make the update depend on a non NULL last_update_time argument.

update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in
iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter
(via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get
cumulative time for both idle and iowait times.
The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu
but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading.
Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters
properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well.
If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other
contexts as well and we will get expected values.

Its possible to jam up the alarm timers by setting very small interval
timers, which will cause the alarmtimer subsystem to spend all of its time
firing and restarting timers. This can effectivly lock up a box.
A deeper fix is needed, closely mimicking the hrtimer code, but for now
just cap the interval to 100us to avoid userland hanging the system.

The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device
it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode
helper binary for all these events very early in the boot.
Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we
literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process
handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly
problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in
executing.
So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers
to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when
we've at least initialized stuff a bit.

1. Commit 26c4caea9d69 "don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode"
changed add_del_listener(REGISTER) so that "next_cpu:" can reuse the
listener allocated for the previous cpu, this doesn't look exactly
right even if minor.
Change the code to kfree() in the already-registered case, this case
is unlikely anyway so the extra kmalloc_node() shouldn't hurt but
looke more correct and clean.
2. use the plain list_for_each_entry() instead of _safe() to scan
listeners->list.
3. Remove the unneeded INIT_LIST_HEAD(&s->list), we are going to

When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost

Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could

irq_domain_generate_simple() is an easy way to generate an irq translation
domain for simple irq controllers. It assumes a flat 1:1 mapping from
hardware irq number to an offset of the first linux irq number assigned
to the controller
Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <[email protected]>

This patch adds irq_domain infrastructure for translating from
hardware irq numbers to linux irqs. This is particularly important
for architectures adding device tree support because the current
implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle
translation for more than a single interrupt controller. irq_domain
supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt
controllers.
This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain
for device tree irq translation. x86 is untested beyond compiling it,
irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is
preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an
irq_domain yet. On ARM it works and is required for much of the new
ARM device tree board support.
PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure. It
is still missing some features before it can replace the virq
infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on
irq_domain_map/unmap for details). Followup patches will add the
missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain.
SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree
and is unaffected by this change.

sys_ssetmask(), sys_rt_sigsuspend() and compat_sys_rt_sigsuspend()
change ->blocked directly. This is not correct, see the changelog in
e6fa16ab "signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()"
Change them to use set_current_blocked().
Another change is that now we are doing ->saved_sigmask = ->blocked
lockless, it doesn't make any sense to do this under ->siglock.

When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.
But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.
panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.
Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.
The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.
With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.
It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.
The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later
reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific
__node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than
that there are no functional changes.]
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw
parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It
prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW
MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by
unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get
the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it
broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this
breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a
FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a
writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE.
This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by
trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast()
fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use
cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the
ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address.
This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE
mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really
make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO
MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process
updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap()
man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping:
It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after
the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region.
So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE
mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a
RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case.
Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A).
get_futex_key() return inode based key.
sleep on the key
Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A)
Thread-B: write memory-region-A.
COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related
to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page.
Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A).
get_futex_key() return mm based key.
IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A.
Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do
something like this get what they deserve.
While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private
mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a
userspace hang.
This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to
only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.
