      genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq thread · 2d860ad7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt
      is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL
      unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
      handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up
      the handler thread.
      
      Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No
      need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be
      freed anyway.
      
      This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the
      mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

      Make sock_sendpage() use kernel_sendpage() · e6949583
      Linus Torvalds authored
      kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
      socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.
      
      Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
      just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the
      protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols.
      Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not
      likely.

      perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork() · 94d5d1b2
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      A bug in (9f498cc5: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
      profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.
      
      [ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ]
      
       # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
      0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236)
      0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236)
      0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236)
      0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236)
      0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)
      
      Shows us that the test (27d028de perf report: Update for the new
      FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:
      
              /*
               * A thread clone will have the same PID for both
               * parent and child.
               */
              if (thread == parent)
                      return 0;
      
      Will clearly fail.
      
      The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
      parent, instead of the cloning thread.
      
      Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
      
       # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
      0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
      0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)
      0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590)
      0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590)
      0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)
      
      Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report
      anymore.

      perf_counter: Fix an ipi-deadlock · 970892a9
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
      perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
      smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
      IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.
      
      Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
      call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
      disables as well.
      
      This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
      pending queue gets processed.

      perf_counter: Fix swcounter context invariance · bcfc2602
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot
      use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock,
      this is unintended.
      
      The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not
      worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU
      traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event().
      
      This also fixes the hard lockups while opening a lockdep
      tracepoint counter.

      perf tools: Add a per tracepoint counter attribute to get raw sample · 3a9f131f
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:
      
      	-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags
      
      This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
      r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:
      
      	./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
      	./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r
      
      will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
      the given tracepoint counter.
      
      In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated
      by commas.

      Convert the processor platform device setup
      functions from __initcall() and sometimes
      device_initcall() to arch_initcall().
      
      This makes sure that the platform devices are
      registered a bit earlier so the devices are
      available when drivers register using initcall
      levels earlier than device_initcall().
      
      A good example is platform devices needed by
      i2c-sh_mobile.c which registers a bit earlier
      using subsys_initcall().

      md: allow upper limit for resync/reshape to be set when array is read-only · 4d484a4a
      NeilBrown authored
      Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
      when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
      could be races.  But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
      is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
      to set an upper bound.
      
      If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
      the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
      is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.
      
      So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
      thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

      md/raid5: allow new reshape modes to be restarted in the middle. · 67ac6011
      NeilBrown authored
      md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
      over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
      This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
      of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
      devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
      number of devices.
      
      The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
      case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
      performing a backup.
      
      It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
      no-change case.
      For 'reducing', we need to invert the test.  For no-change we cannot
      really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
      to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
      starts such arrays works.

      md: never advance 'events' counter by more than 1. · 51d5668c
      NeilBrown authored
      When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
      counts as long as the difference is only '1'.  This is to cope with
      a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
      devices.
      
      However there are currently times when we update the event count by
      2.  This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
      and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
      update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
      
      This is bad for the above reason.  So change it to never increase by
      two.  This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
      'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
      small cost.  The spares will get a few more updates but that will
      still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
      
      Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
      array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
      mismatch.
