The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module load time. marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.

Quoting Randy: "It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file, 20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into 20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing. However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make _one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES, and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

Prior to use struct marker in the linux kernel markers, we need to clean two drivers which use this structure name. Change bonding driver types : - struct marker to struct bond_marker. - marker_t to bond_marker_t. - marker_header to bond_marker_header. - marker_header_t to bond_marker_header_t. Change qla4xxx struct marker_entry usage : - Change struct marker_entry for struct qla4_marker_entry. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the crashkernel parsing from arch/sh/kernel/machine_kexec.c and calls the generic function, introduced in the generic patch, in setup_bootmem_allocator(). This is necessary because the amount of System RAM must be known in this function now because of the new syntax. Signed-off-by:

Bernhard Walle authored
This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function instead of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line. Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this function, efi_memmap_init() is modified to return its accumulated total_memory variable. Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable. [kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com: build fix] Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself: crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset] range=start-[end] For example: crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)). Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error handling is very difficult. This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor. This patch: This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it. If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

With the use of idr to store the ipc, the case where the idr cache is empty, when idr_get_new is called (this may happen even if we call idr_pre_get() before), is not well handled: it lets semget()/shmget()/msgget() return ENOSPC when this cache is empty, what 1. does not reflect the facts and 2. does not conform to the man(s). This patch fixes this by retrying the whole process of allocation in this case. Signed-off-by:

Some comments about sem_undo_list seem wrong. About the comment above unlock_semundo: "... If task2 now exits before task1 releases the lock (by calling unlock_semundo()), then task1 will never call spin_unlock(). ..." This is just wrong, I see no reason for which task1 will not call spin_unlock... The rest of this comment is also wrong... Unless I miss something (of course). Finally, (un)lock_semundo functions are useless, so remove them for simplification. (this avoids an useless if statement) Signed-off-by:

This is a patch that fixes the way idr_find() used to be called in ipc_lock(): in all the paths that don't imply an update of the ipcs idr, it was called without the idr tree being locked. The changes are: . in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore. . ipc_lock() now takes the mutex as a reader during the idr_find(). . a new routine ipc_lock_down() has been defined: it doesn't take the mutex, assuming that it is being held by the caller. This is the routine that is now called in all the update paths. Signed-off-by:Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl> Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are: . This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a root idr structure. . The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility. . The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed: . there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as argument: it is now declared as a void . since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to have it as an argument to the routine Signed-off-by: -

Some of the per-cpu counters and thus their locks are accessed from IRQ contexts. This can cause a deadlock if it interrupts a cpu-offline thread which is transferring a dead-cpu's counts to the global counter. Add appropriate IRQ protection in the cpu-hotplug callback path. Signed-off-by:

When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have been running on that cpu. Currently, such a task is migrated: 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed 2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed includes only a single cpu. This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset). With this patch, migrate the task to: 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed 2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset 3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion) Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

Replace "cont" with "cgrp" and other misc renaming This patch finishes some of the names that got missed in the great "task containers" -> "control groups" rename. Primarily it renames the local variable "cont" to "cgrp" in a number of places, and renames the CONT_* enum members to CGRP_*. This patch is not intended to have any effect on the generated code; the output of "objdump -d kernel/cgroup.o" is unchanged. Signed-off-by:

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code. Signed-off-by:

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as deprecated with appropriate comment. The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because a) they are set to 0 automatically; b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized right before the .pgrp. This is the same patch as the 1ec320af one (from Cedric), but for the pgrp field. Some progress report: We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct task_struct and struct signal_struct. The session and pgrp are already deprecated. The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage in in fs/locks.c and audit code. The pid field deprecation is mainly blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to log. Signed-off-by:

Currently, there exists no method for a process to query the resource limits of another process. They can be inferred via some mechanisms but they cannot be explicitly determined.
