Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

Paul E. McKenney authored
If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup, which is not removable. The problem is that while we do in-fact hold rq->lock, the newly spawned idle thread's cpu is not yet set to the correct cpu so the lockdep check in task_group(): lockdep_is_held(&task_rq(p)->lock) will fail.

Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock. Although use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables are being loaded without the services of a lock.

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is used in bitwise operations. If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place. Incorrect flags might used later in code. Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into "init_wait". Signed-off-by: Evgeny Kuznetsov <EXT-Eugeny.Kuznetsov@nokia.com> [ The bit we care about does end up being initialized by both prepare_to_wait() and add_to_wait_queue(), so this doesn't seem to cause actual bugs, but is definitely the right thing to do -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

Register_xenstore_notifier should guarantee that the caller gets notified even if xenstore is already up. Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for PV on HVM guests too. In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe(). This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes "xm shutdown" not to work properly.

Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping. Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to KSM swapping in 2.6.33. Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then - if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused. Fine, the dirty bit will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon. If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed; then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again. We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in KSM's write_protect_page(). Several days of testing on three machines confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443 "rmap: resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma. In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL. It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can). For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap() already excluded KSM pages.

The function prom_init_cmdline() references the variable __initdata arcs_cmdline. The function prom_get_ethernet_addr() references the variable __initdata arcs_cmdline. Annotate prom_init_cmdline() as __init, unexport and annotate prom_get_ethernet_addr() since it's no longer called from within driver code.
