Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple purposes. Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(), stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus(). This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the migration thread and take on its name. * This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c. * Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair() in the context of a task wake-up: a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran. b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently. c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the periodic load balancer. Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu, then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.

Chase reported that due to us decrementing calc_load_task prematurely (before the next LOAD_FREQ sample), the load average could be scewed by as much as the number of CPUs in the machine. This patch, based on Chase's patch, cures the problem by keeping the delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately and folding that in on the next LOAD_FREQ update. This restores the balance and we get strict LOAD_FREQ period samples.

Found by kmemleak. If request_resource() fails, we leak the struct resource we allocated to represent the IOMMU mapping area. This actually happens on sun4v machines because the IOMEM area is only reported sans the IOMMU region, unlike all previous systems. I'll need to fix that at some point, but for now fix the leak.

The only reference we store to this memory is in the form of a physical address, so kmemleak can't see it. Add a kmemleak_not_leak() annotation. It's probably useful to be able to look at a dump of these things either via debugfs or similar, and thus we could at some point store them in some kind of table and therefore get rid of this annotation.

If we are in an NMI then doing a plain raw_local_irq_disable() will write PIL_NORMAL_MAX into %pil, which is lower than PIL_NMI, and thus we'll re-enable NMIs and recurse. Doing a simple: %pil = %pil | PIL_NORMAL_MAX does what we want, if we're already at PIL_NMI (15) we leave it at that setting, else we set it to PIL_NORMAL_MAX (14). This should get the function tracer working on sparc64. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page (through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too. The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just the mapping that happened to page it in first. Here's the scenario: - page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track. - Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine. - Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache) - Process B pages it in, which goes like this: do_swap_page -> page = lookup_swap_cache(entry); ... set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte); page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); And think about what happens here! In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first" mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do if (first) __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for process B! What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away. End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but anon_vma B does not exist any more. This can go on forever. Forget about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like that. The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared by all users of that possible mapping. Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets us to the safest model. This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma. But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.
