This reverts commit 8f2f748b06.
It causes some odd regression that we have not figured out, and it's too
late in the -rc series to try to figure it out now.
As reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov, it causes consistent hangs on his
laptop (Thinkpad x220: 2x cores + HT). They can be avoided by adding
calls to "rebuild_sched_domains();" in cpuset_cpu_[in]active() for the
CPU_{ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED/DOWN_PREPARE}_FROZEN cases, but it's not at all
clear why, and it makes no sense.
Konstantin's config doesn't even have CONFIG_CPUSETS enabled, just to
make things even more interesting. So it's not the cpusets, it's just
the scheduling domains.
So until this is understood, revert.

Xommit ac5637611(genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken)
fails to unmask when a !IRQ_ONESHOT threaded handler is handled by
handle_level_irq.
This happens because thread_mask is or'ed unconditionally in
irq_wake_thread(), but for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts never cleared. So
the check for !desc->thread_active fails and keeps the interrupt
disabled.
Keep the thread_mask zero for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts.
Document the thread_mask magic while at it.

check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.
- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
task_struct.
- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.
For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().
Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.
Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.
Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock. This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

Make vfork() killable.
Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.
However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.
Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.
NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of

SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal

Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

genirq: Handle pending irqs in irq_startup()
genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken
Currently, during CPU hotplug, the cpuset callbacks modify the cpusets
to reflect the state of the system, and this handling is asymmetric.
That is, upon CPU offline, that CPU is removed from all cpusets. However
when it comes back online, it is put back only to the root cpuset.
This gives rise to a significant problem during suspend/resume. During
suspend, we offline all non-boot cpus and during resume we online them back.
Which means, after a resume, all cpusets (except the root cpuset) will be
restricted to just one single CPU (the boot cpu). But the whole point of
suspend/resume is to restore the system to a state which is as close as
possible to how it was before suspend.
So to fix this, don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume. That is, modify
the cpuset-related CPU hotplug callback to just ignore CPU hotplug when it
is initiated as part of the suspend/resume sequence.

This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.
epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.
This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.
__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.
ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.
The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.
In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.
Note:
- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.
- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
make sure it can't be "lost".

Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime")
added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint.
It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because
of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch
because the tracepoint was not active.
It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side
effects of:
- se->statistics.sleep_start = 0;
...
- se->statistics.block_start = 0;
Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler
fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant
instrumentation.
Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed
by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp
difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.

irq_domain_add_simple() was a stop-gap measure until complete irq_domain
support was complete. This patch removes the irq_domain_add_simple()
interface.
This patch also drops the explicit irq_domain initialization performed
by the mach-versatile code because the versatile interrupt controller
already has irq_domain support built into it. This was a bug that was
hanging around quietly for a while, but with the full irq_domain which
actually verifies that irq_domain ranges are available it would cause
the registration to fail and the system wouldn't boot.

Add support for a legacy mapping where irq = (hwirq - first_hwirq + first_irq)
so that a controller driver can allocate a fixed range of irq_descs and use
a simple calculation to translate back and forth between linux and hw irq
numbers. This is needed to use an irq_domain with many of the ARM interrupt
controller drivers that manage their own irq_desc allocations. Ultimately
the goal is to migrate those drivers to use the linear revmap, but doing it
this way allows each driver to be converted separately which makes the
migration path easier.
This patch generalizes the IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_LEGACY method to use
(first_irq-first_hwirq) as the offset between hwirq and linux irq number,
and adds checks to make sure that the hwirq number does not exceed range
assigned to the controller.

This patch also adds a host_data argument to the generators. There are
cases where the host_data pointer will be needed before the function returns.
ie. the legacy map calls the .map callback for each irq before returning.

When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT
returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not
woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never
invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever.
This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread
unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying
device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere
documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the
thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the
interrupt line s kept masked.
Handle it gracefully.

The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
commit:
e050e3f0a7 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
the sampling frequency adjustments:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()
It was caused by the following call sequence:
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
stop()
if (delta > 0) {
perf_adjust_period() {
if (period > 8*...) {
stop()
...
start()
}
}
}
start()
}
Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
the assert in x86_pmu_start().
The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
start/stop from that function because it's called from
__perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
stop/start back-toback call.
The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
was removed by commit:
84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")
In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.
While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion

* Two hibernate (s2disk) regression fixes from Srivatsa S. Bhat (for
regressions introduced during the 3.3 merge window and during the 3.2
development cycle).
* A cpuidle fix from Venki Pallipadi for a regression resulting from PM QoS
changes during the 3.2 development cycle causing cpuidle to work incorrectly
for CONFIG_PM unset.

PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change
PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails
PM / Hibernate: Thaw kernel threads in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl path
If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically
thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter
situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path
to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do
some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like:
error = freeze_kernel_threads();
if (error) {
/* Do some cleanup */
/* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/
thaw_processes();
}
An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems
during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads
fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing
the userspace tasks.
So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in
case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes()
accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather
cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.)
[rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the
3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called
before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive
memory allocation failures.]

In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance
object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero.
This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted.
This issue can be reproduced by changing
samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix
is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back
onto the free_instances list.

This fixes the race in process_vm_core found by Oleg (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235667/
for details).
This has been updated since I last sent it as the creation of the new
mm_access() function did almost exactly the same thing as parts of the
previous version of this patch did.
In order to use mm_access() even when /proc isn't enabled, we move it to
kernel/fork.c where other related process mm access functions already
are.

In the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl, if the call to hibernation_snapshot()
fails, the frozen tasks are not thawed.
And in the case of success, if we happen to exit due to a successful freezer
test, all tasks (including those of userspace) are thawed, whereas actually
we should have thawed only the kernel threads at that point. Fix both these
issues.

Commit 2aede851dd
PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.
Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851dd
attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

This issue happens under the following conditions:
1. preemption is off
2. __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW is defined
3. RT scheduling class
4. SMP system
Sequence is as follows:
1.suppose current task is A. start schedule()
2.task A is enqueued pushable task at the entry of schedule()
__schedule
prev = rq->curr;
...
put_prev_task
put_prev_task_rt
enqueue_pushable_task
4.pick the task B as next task.
next = pick_next_task(rq);
3.rq->curr set to task B and context_switch is started.
rq->curr = next;
4.At the entry of context_swtich, release this cpu's rq->lock.
context_switch
prepare_task_switch
prepare_lock_switch
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock);
5.Shortly after rq->lock is released, interrupt is occurred and start IRQ context
6.try_to_wake_up() which called by ISR acquires rq->lock
try_to_wake_up
ttwu_remote
rq = __task_rq_lock(p)
ttwu_do_wakeup(rq, p, wake_flags);
task_woken_rt
7.push_rt_task picks the task A which is enqueued before.
task_woken_rt
push_rt_tasks(rq)
next_task = pick_next_pushable_task(rq)
8.At find_lock_lowest_rq(), If double_lock_balance() returns 0,
lowest_rq can be the remote rq.
(But,If preemption is on, double_lock_balance always return 1 and it
does't happen.)
push_rt_task
find_lock_lowest_rq
if (double_lock_balance(rq, lowest_rq))..
9.find_lock_lowest_rq return the available rq. task A is migrated to
the remote cpu/rq.
push_rt_task
...
deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0);
set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq->cpu);
activate_task(lowest_rq, next_task, 0);
10. But, task A is on irq context at this cpu.
So, task A is scheduled by two cpus at the same time until restore from IRQ.
Task A's stack is corrupted.
To fix it, don't migrate an RT task if it's still running.
