      sched, time: Atomically increment stime & utime · eb1b4af0
      Rik van Riel authored 
      The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs.

This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and
other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be
multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or
stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value.

Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately
overwritten with a smaller value by another thread.

Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time
progresses monotonically.

      time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlock · e78c3496
      Rik van Riel authored 
      Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.

The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).

Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.

This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.

In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().

This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

      exit: Always reap resource stats in __exit_signal() · 90ed9cbe
      Rik van Riel authored 
      Oleg pointed out that wait_task_zombie adds a task's usage statistics
to the parent's signal struct, but the task's own signal struct should
also propagate the statistics at exit time.

This allows thread_group_cputime(reaped_zombie) to get the statistics
after __unhash_process() has made the task invisible to for_each_thread,
but before the thread has actually been rcu freed, making sure no
non-monotonic results are returned inside that window.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner:
 "The fixes all address recently discovered data corruption issues.

  The original Direct IO issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook
  on a production workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads
  and writes IO to the same file.  The fix for that exposed other issues
  with page invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing
  due to dirty buffers beyond EOF.

  Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to
  racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted
  around.  The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes that
  prevent the problem from occuring.  A more robust fix for 3.18 that
  addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on by
  Brian.

  Summary of fixes:
   - a direct IO read/buffered read data corruption
   - the associated fallout from the DIO data corruption fix
   - collapse range bugs that are potential data corruption issues"

      timekeeping: Update timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock · 9bf2419f
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.

The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.

commit cbcf2dd3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.

Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.
