Add trace events to record grace-period start and end, quiescent states, CPUs noticing grace-period start and end, grace-period initialization, call_rcu() invocation, tasks blocking in RCU read-side critical sections, tasks exiting those same critical sections, force_quiescent_state() detection of dyntick-idle and offline CPUs, CPUs entering and leaving dyntick-idle mode (except from NMIs), CPUs coming online and going offline, and CPUs being kicked for staying in dyntick-idle mode for too long (as in many weeks, even on 32-bit systems).

McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> rcu: Add the rcu flavor to callback trace events The earlier trace events for registering RCU callbacks and for invoking them did not include the RCU flavor (rcu_bh, rcu_preempt, or rcu_sched). This commit adds the RCU flavor to those trace events. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Add a string to the rcu_batch_start() and rcu_batch_end() trace messages that indicates the RCU type ("rcu_sched", "rcu_bh", or "rcu_preempt").

In order to allow event tracing to distinguish between flavors of RCU, we need those names in the relevant RCU data structures.

This commit adds the trace_rcu_utilization() marker that is to be used to allow postprocessing scripts compute RCU's CPU utilization, give or take event-trace overhead. Note that we do not include RCU's dyntick-idle interface because event tracing requires RCU protection, which is not available in dyntick-idle mode. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit eliminates the possibility of running TREE_PREEMPT_RCU when SMP=n and of running TINY_RCU when PREEMPT=y. People who really want these combinations can hand-edit init/Kconfig, but eliminating them as choices for production systems reduces the amount of testing required. It will also allow cutting out a few #ifdefs. Note that running TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU on single-CPU systems using SMP-built kernels is still supported. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Take a first step towards untangling Linux kernel header files by placing the struct rcu_head definition into include/linux/types.h and including include/linux/types.h in include/linux/rcupdate.h where struct rcu_head used to be defined. The actual inclusion point for include/linux/types.h is with the rest of the #include directives rather than at the point where struct rcu_head used to be defined, as suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers. Once this is in place, then header files that need only rcu_head can include types.h rather than rcupdate.h. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Paul E. McKenney authored
Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical section. However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats this diagnostic. This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic based on PROVE_RCU. Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious. This third argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert(). Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third argument. Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section. These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled. Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c. Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics. But you are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you? Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

There are a number of cases where the RCU can find additional work for the per-CPU kthread within the context of that per-CPU kthread. In such cases, the per-CPU kthread is already running, so attempting to wake itself up does nothing except waste CPU cycles. This commit therefore checks to see if it is in the per-CPU kthread context, omitting the wakeup in this case. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Commit a26ac245 (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added per-CPU kthreads. However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node. Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create() so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node. A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a (kthread: use kthread_create_on_node()). Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet. With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat family system calls, old and new. So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a result of our bad default behavior.

Currently the the internal oscillator is powered down when entering BIAS_OFF state, but not re-enabled when going back to BIAS_STANDBY. As a result the CODEC will stop working after suspend if the internal oscillator is used to generate the sysclock signal. This patch fixes it by clearing the appropriate bit in the power down register when the CODEC is re-enabled.

The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should not trigger an automount. Neither should the l* versions. This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> [ Edited to leave out the cases that are already covered by LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY and LOOKUP_CREATE - all of which also fundamentally force automounting for their own reasons - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linus Torvalds authored
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..) Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid the automount any more). But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup. Some other cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well. This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though. It also doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

Commit b7ab83ed (PM: Use spinlock instead of mutex in clock management functions) introduced a regression causing clocks_mutex to be acquired under a spinlock. This happens because pm_clk_suspend() and pm_clk_resume() call pm_clk_acquire() under pcd->lock, but pm_clk_acquire() executes clk_get() which causes clocks_mutex to be acquired. Similarly, __pm_clk_remove(), executed under pcd->lock, calls clk_put(), which also causes clocks_mutex to be acquired. To fix those problems make pm_clk_add() call pm_clk_acquire(), so that pm_clk_suspend() and pm_clk_resume() don't have to do that. Change pm_clk_remove() and pm_clk_destroy() to separate modifications of the pcd->clock_list list from the actual removal of PM clock entry objects done by __pm_clk_remove().

The spec->autocfg.line_out_pins[] may contain the same pins as hp_pins[] depending on the configuration. When they are identical, detecting the line_jack_present flag screws up the auto-mute because alc_line_automute() is called unconditionally at initialization while it won't be triggered by unsol events, thus the old line_jack_present flag is kept for the whole run. For fixing this buggy behavior, the driver needs to check whether the line-outs are really individual, and skip if same as headphone jacks.

The SMP implementation of __futex_atomic_op clobbers oldval with the status flag from the exclusive store. This causes it to always read as zero when performing the FUTEX_OP_CMP_* operation.
