3347fc9f36 workqueue: destroy worker directly in the idle timeout handler
Since destroy_worker() doesn't need to sleep nor require manager_mutex,
destroy_worker() can be directly called in the idle timeout
handler, it helps us remove POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS and
maybe_destroy_worker() and simplify the manage_workers()

After POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS is removed, worker_thread() doesn't
need to test whether it needs to manage after processed works.
So we can remove the test branch.

60f5a4bcf8 workqueue: async worker destruction
worker destruction includes these parts of code:
	adjust pool's stats
	remove the worker from idle list
	detach the worker from the pool
	kthread_stop() to wait for the worker's task exit
	free the worker struct

We can find out that there is no essential work to do after
kthread_stop(), which means destroy_worker() doesn't need to wait for
the worker's task exit, so we can remove kthread_stop() and free the
worker struct in the worker exiting path.

However, put_unbound_pool() still needs to sync the all the workers'
destruction before destroying the pool; otherwise, the workers may
access to the invalid pool when they are exiting.

So we also move the code of "detach the worker" to the exiting
path and let put_unbound_pool() to sync with this code via
detach_completion.

The code of "detach the worker" is wrapped in a new function
"worker_detach_from_pool()" although worker_detach_from_pool() is only
called once (in worker_thread()) after this patch, but we need to wrap
it for these reasons:

  1) The code of "detach the worker" is not short enough to unfold them
     in worker_thread().
  2) the name of "worker_detach_from_pool()" is self-comment, and we add
     some comments above the function.
  3) it will be shared by rescuer in later patch which allows rescuer
     and normal thread use the same attach/detach frameworks.

The worker id is freed when detaching which happens before the worker
is fully dead, but this id of the dying worker may be re-used for a
new worker, so the dying worker's task name is changed to
"worker/dying" to avoid two or several workers having the same name.

Since "detach the worker" is moved out from destroy_worker(),
destroy_worker() doesn't require manager_mutex, so the
"lockdep_assert_held(&pool->manager_mutex)" in destroy_worker() is
removed, and destroy_worker() is not protected by manager_mutex in
put_unbound_pool().

73eb7fe73a workqueue: destroy_worker() should destroy idle workers only
We used to have the CPU online failure path where a worker is created
and then destroyed without being started. A worker was created for
the CPU coming online and if the online operation failed the created worker
was shut down without being started.  But this behavior was changed.
The first worker is created and started at the same time for the CPU coming
online.

It means that we had already ensured in the code that destroy_worker()
destroys only idle workers and we don't want to allow it to destroy
any non-idle worker in the future. Otherwise, it may be buggy and it
may be extremely hard to check. We should force destroy_worker() to
destroy only idle workers explicitly.

Since destroy_worker() destroys only idle workers, this patch does not
change any functionality. We just need to update the comments and the
sanity check code.

In the sanity check code, we will refuse to destroy the worker
if !(worker->flags & WORKER_IDLE).

If the worker entered idle which means it is already started,
so we remove the check of "worker->flags & WORKER_STARTED",
after this removal, WORKER_STARTED is totally unneeded,
so we remove WORKER_STARTED too.

In the comments for create_worker(), "Create a new worker which is bound..."
is changed to "... which is attached..." due to we change the name of this
behavior to attaching.

tj: Minor description / comment updates.

5533e01144 cgroup: disallow debug controller on the default hierarchy
The debug controller, as its name suggests, exposes cgroup core
internals to userland to aid debugging.  Unfortunately, except for the
name, there's no provision to prevent its usage in production
configurations and the controller is widely enabled and mounted
leaking internal details to userland.  Like most other debug
information, the information exposed by debug isn't interesting even
for debugging itself once the related parts are working reliably.

This controller has no reason for existing.  This patch implements
cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask which can suppress specific subsystems
on the default hierarchy and adds the debug subsystem to it so that it
can be gradually deprecated as usages move towards the unified
hierarchy.

Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot

b69cf53640 perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach()
Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do
not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor
do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries.

Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that
attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching.

Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same
event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly
required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request =
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the
normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed.

This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all
circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace
period, but the two cases:

 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a
    ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between
    removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer.

    This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in
    perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional
    synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however...

 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed
    (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer
    using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT.

    This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does:
      ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL)
    followed by the ioctl() doing:
      ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo);

    and we still need to observe the grace period between these two
    calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.

In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu()
call.

39af6b1678 perf: Prevent false warning in perf_swevent_add
The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context
events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist.

This could race with task context software event being just
scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug
code already cleaned up event's data.

The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code
and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu
ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code.

It's easily reproduced with:
  $ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe

while putting one of the cpus offline:
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Console emits following warning:

Vince reported that using a large sample_period (one with bit 63 set)

unsigned (negative periods don't make sense) the way we implement
things very much rely on signed logic.

So limit sample_period to 63 bits to avoid tripping over this.

f0d71b3dcb futex: Prevent attaching to kernel threads
We happily allow userspace to declare a random kernel thread to be the

Found while analysing the fallout of Dave Jones syscall fuzzer.

We also should validate the thread group for private futexes and find

866293ee54 futex: Add another early deadlock detection check
Dave Jones trinity syscall fuzzer exposed an issue in the deadlock
detection code of rtmutex:
  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140429151655.GA14277@redhat.com

That underlying issue has been fixed with a patch to the rtmutex code,
but the futex code must not call into rtmutex in that case because
    - it can detect that issue early
    - it avoids a different and more complex fixup for backing out

If the user space variable got manipulated to 0x80000000 which means
no lock holder, but the waiters bit set and an active pi_state in the
kernel is found we can figure out the recursive locking issue by
looking at the pi_state owner. If that is the current task, then we
can safely return -EDEADLK.

The check should have been added in commit 59fa62451 (futex: Handle
futex_pi OWNER_DIED take over correctly) already, but I did not see
the above issue caused by user space manipulation back then.

c2931b70a3 cgroup: iterate cgroup_subsys_states directly
Currently, css_next_child() is implemented as finding the next child
cgroup which has the css enabled, which used to be the only way to do
it as only cgroups participated in sibling lists and thus could be
iteratd.  This works as long as what's required during iteration is
not missing online csses; however, it turns out that there are use
cases where offlined but not yet released csses need to be iterated.
This is difficult to implement through cgroup iteration the unified
hierarchy as there may be multiple dying csses for the same subsystem
associated with single cgroup.

After the recent changes, the cgroup self and regular csses behave
identically in how they're linked and unlinked from the sibling lists
including assertion of CSS_RELEASED and css_next_child() can simply
switch to iterating csses directly.  This both simplifies the logic
and ensures that all visible non-released csses are included in the
iteration whether there are multiple dying csses for a subsystem or
not.

As all other iterators depend on css_next_child() for sibling
iteration, this changes behaviors of all css iterators.  Add and
update explanations on the css states which are included in traversal
to all iterators.

As css iteration could always contain offlined csses, this shouldn't
break any of the current users and new usages which need iteration of
all on and offline csses can make use of the new semantics.

de3f034182 cgroup: introduce CSS_RELEASED and reduce css iteration fallback window
css iterations allow the caller to drop RCU read lock.  As long as the
caller keeps the current position accessible, it can simply re-grab
RCU read lock later and continue iteration.  This is achieved by using
CGRP_DEAD to detect whether the current positions next pointer is safe
to dereference and if not re-iterate from the beginning to the next
position using ->serial_nr.

CGRP_DEAD is used as the marker to invalidate the next pointer and the
only requirement is that the marker is set before the next sibling
starts its RCU grace period.  Because CGRP_DEAD is set at the end of
cgroup_destroy_locked() but the cgroup is unlinked when the reference
count reaches zero, we currently have a rather large window where this
fallback re-iteration logic can be triggered.

This patch introduces CSS_RELEASED which is set when a css is unlinked
from its sibling list.  This still keeps the re-iteration logic
working while drastically reducing the window of its activation.
While at it, rewrite the comment in css_next_child() to reflect the
new flag and better explain the synchronization.

This will also enable iterating csses directly instead of through
cgroups.

v2: CSS_RELEASED now assigned to 1 << 2 as 1 << 0 is used by
    CSS_NO_REF.

0cb51d71c1 cgroup: move cgroup->serial_nr into cgroup_subsys_state
We're moving towards using cgroup_subsys_states as the fundamental
structural blocks.  All csses including the cgroup->self and actual
ones now form trees through css->children and ->sibling which follow
the same rules as what cgroup->children and ->sibling followed.  This
patch moves cgroup->serial_nr which is used to implement css iteration
into css.

Note that all csses, regardless of their types, allocate their serial
numbers from the same monotonically increasing counter.  This doesn't
affect the ordering needed by css iteration or cause any other
material behavior changes.  This will be used to update css iteration.

1fed1b2e36 cgroup: link all cgroup_subsys_states in their sibling lists
Currently, while all csses have ->children and ->sibling, only the
self csses of cgroups make use of them.  This patch makes all other
csses to link themselves on the sibling lists too.  This will be used
to update css iteration.

d5c419b68e cgroup: move cgroup->sibling and ->children into cgroup_subsys_state
We're moving towards using cgroup_subsys_states as the fundamental
structural blocks.  Let's move cgroup->sibling and ->children into
cgroup_subsys_state.  This is pure move without functional change and
only cgroup->self's fields are actually used.  Other csses will make
use of the fields later.

While at it, update init_and_link_css() so that it zeroes the whole
css before initializing it and remove explicit zeroing of ->flags.

d51f39b05c cgroup: remove cgroup->parent
cgroup->parent is redundant as cgroup->self.parent can also be used to
determine the parent cgroup and we're moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_states as the fundamental structural blocks.  This patch
introduces cgroup_parent() which follows cgroup->self.parent and
removes cgroup->parent.

5c9d535b89 cgroup: remove css_parent()
cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the
fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to
convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent.  It was quite some
time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent.

This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users
dereference css->parent.  While at it, explicitly mark fields of css
which are public and immutable.

v2: New usage from device_cgroup.c converted.

3b514d24e2 cgroup: skip refcnting on normal root csses and cgrp_dfl_root self css
9395a45004 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses") enabled
reference counting for root csses (cgroup_subsys_states) so that
cgroup's self csses can be used to manage the lifetime of the
containing cgroups.

Unfortunately, this change was incorrect.  During early init,
cgrp_dfl_root self css refcnt is used.  percpu_ref can't initialized
during early init and its initialization is deferred till
cgroup_init() time.  This means that cpu was using percpu_ref which
wasn't properly initialized.  Due to the way percpu variables are laid
out on x86, this didn't blow up immediately on x86 but ended up
incrementing and decrementing the percpu variable at offset zero,
whatever it may be; however, on other archs, this caused fault and
early boot failure.

As cgroup self csses for root cgroups of non-dfl hierarchies need
working refcounting, we can't revert 9395a45004.  This patch adds
CSS_NO_REF which explicitly inhibits reference counting on the css and
sets it on all normal (non-self) csses and cgroup_dfl_root self css.

v2: cgrp_dfl_root.self is the offending one.  Set the flag on it.

7b6ef12625 genirq: Provide generic hwirq allocation facility
Not really the solution to the problem, but at least it confines the
mess in the core code and allows to get rid of the create/destroy_irq
variants from hell, i.e. 3 implementations with different semantics
plus the x86 specific variants __create_irqs and create_irq_nr
which have been invented in another circle of hell.

x86 : x86 should be converted to irq domains and I'm deliberately
      making it impossible to do the multi-vector MSI support by
      adding more crap to the current mess. It's not that hard to do
      and I'm really tired of the trainwrecks which have been invented
      by baindaid engineering so far. Any attempt to do multi-vector
      MSI or ioapic hotplug without converting to irq domains is NAKed
      hereby.

tile: Might use irq domains as well, but it has a very limited
      interrupt space, so handling it via this functionality might be
      the right thing to do even in the long run.

ia64: That's an hopeless case, as I doubt that anyone has the stomach
      to rewrite the homebrewn dynamic allocation facilities. I stared
      at it for a couple of hours and gave up. The create/destroy_irq
      mess could be made private to itanic right away if there
      wouldn't be the iommu/dmar driver being shared with x86. So to
      do that I'm going to add a separate ia64 specific implementation
      later in order not to deep-six itanic right away.

1f0b63866f ACPI / PM: Hold ACPI scan lock over the "freeze" sleep state
The "freeze" sleep state suffers from the same issue that was
addressed by commit ad07277e82 (ACPI / PM: Hold acpi_scan_lock over
system PM transitions) for ACPI sleep states, that is, things break
if ->remove() is called for devices whose system resume callbacks
haven't been executed yet.

It also can be addressed in the same way, by holding the ACPI scan
lock over the "freeze" sleep state and PM transitions to and from
that state, but ->begin() and ->end() platform operations for the
"freeze" sleep state are needed for this purpose.

This change has been tested on Acer Aspire S5 with Thunderbolt.

4449bf927b tracing: Add __bitmask() macro to trace events to cpumasks and other bitmasks
Being able to show a cpumask of events can be useful as some events
may affect only some CPUs. There is no standard way to record the
cpumask and converting it to a string is rather expensive during
the trace as traces happen in hotpaths. It would be better to record
the raw event mask and be able to parse it at print time.

The following macros were added for use with the TRACE_EVENT() macro:

  __bitmask()
  __assign_bitmask()
  __get_bitmask()

To test this, I added this to the sched_migrate_task event, which
looked like this:

TRACE_EVENT(sched_migrate_task,

	TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu, const struct cpumask *cpus),

	TP_ARGS(p, dest_cpu, cpus),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__array(	char,	comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
		__field(	pid_t,	pid			)
		__field(	int,	prio			)
		__field(	int,	orig_cpu		)
		__field(	int,	dest_cpu		)
		__bitmask(	cpumask, num_possible_cpus()	)
	),

	TP_fast_assign(
		memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
		__entry->pid		= p->pid;
		__entry->prio		= p->prio;
		__entry->orig_cpu	= task_cpu(p);
		__entry->dest_cpu	= dest_cpu;
		__assign_bitmask(cpumask, cpumask_bits(cpus), num_possible_cpus());
	),

	TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d orig_cpu=%d dest_cpu=%d cpumask=%s",
		  __entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio,
		  __entry->orig_cpu, __entry->dest_cpu,
		  __get_bitmask(cpumask))
);

With the output of:

        ksmtuned-3613  [003] d..2   485.220508: sched_migrate_task: comm=ksmtuned pid=3615 prio=120 orig_cpu=3 dest_cpu=2 cpumask=00000000,0000000f

424c1b6820 rcutorture: Add missing destroy_timer_on_stack()
The rcu_torture_reader() function uses an on-stack timer_list structure
which it initializes with setup_timer_on_stack().  However, it fails to
use destroy_timer_on_stack() before exiting, which results in leaking a
tracking object if DEBUG_OBJECTS is enabled.  This commit therefore
invokes destroy_timer_on_stack() to avoid this leakage.

f0bf8fab4f rcutorture: Explicitly test synchronous grace-period primitives
The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous
grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around
call_rcu() invocations.  The testing of these synchronous primitives
was delegated to the fake writers.  However, there really is no excuse
not to test them, especially in the case of SRCU, where the wrappering
is somewhat more elaborate.  This commit therefore makes the default
rcutorture parameters cause rcu_torture_writer() to include synchronous
grace-period primitives in its testing.

d0d0606e2c rcutorture: Check for rcu_torture_fqs creation errors
The return value from torture_create_kthread() is currently ignored
when creating the rcu_torture_fqs kthread.  This commit therefore
captures the return value so that it can be tested for errors.

5ed63b199c torture: Notice if an all-zero cpumask is passed inside a critical section
In torture_shuffle_tasks function, the check if an all-zero mask can
be passed to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is redundant after clearing the
shuffle_idle_cpu bit. If the mask had more than one bit set, after
clearing a bit it has at least one bit set. If the mask had only
one bit set, a check is made at the beginning, where the function
returns, as there is no need to shuffle only one cpu.

Also, this code is executed inside a critical section, delimited by
get_online_cpus(), and put_online_cpus(), preventing CPUs from leaving between
the check of num_online_cpus and the calls to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() function.

64e4b43ae0 rcutorture: Make rcu_torture_reader() use cond_resched()
The rcu_torture_reader() function currently uses schedule().  This commit
therefore speeds things up a bit by substituting cond_resched().
This change makes rcu_torture_reader() more CPU-bound, so this commit
also adjusts the number of readers (the "nreaders" module parameter,
which feeds into the "nrealreaders" variable) to allow one CPU to be
free of readers on SMP systems.  The point of this is to increase the
probability that readers will be watching while an updater makes a change.

ac1bea8578 sched,rcu: Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states
Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no
other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU
CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states.  Fortunately,
every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state.
Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight
for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption,
and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well.

This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes
cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call
rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations.
This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of
RCU grace periods.
