      hardirq: Split preempt count mask definitions · 2d4b8473
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      In order to use static keys with vtime APIs, we'll need to
      add static keys headers to vtime.h
      
      hardirq.h then becomes a problem because it needs vtime.h
      for irqtime accounting in irq_enter/irq_exit, but it's
      often included just to get the irq mask definitions in the
      task preempt_count field and the APIs that come along:
      in_interrupt(), in_hardirq(), etc...
      
      Some very low level arch headers sometimes need these masks
      and APIs such as arch/m68k/include/asm/irqflags.h for example.
      But they don't want to include hardirq.h if vtime.h, jump_label.h
      and even workqueue.h come along. Including such bloated high
      level header from arch headers can quickly result in circular
      headers dependency that crash the build.
      
      So let's split hardirq.h in two parts:
      
      * preempt_mask.h that gathers all the preempt_count definitions
      and the APIs associated. This one is considered low level and can
      be safely included anywhere.
      
      * hardirq.h that includes the previous one. It defines the irq
      entry/exit APIs.
      
      To avoid future circular headers dependencies, the preempt_mask.h
      inclusion can replace hardirq.h on files that don't implement irq
      low level handlers but just need the atomic/context check APIs.

      context_tracking: Split low level state headers · e7358b3b
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      We plan to use the context tracking static key on inline
      vtime APIs. For this we need to include the context tracking
      headers from those of vtime.
      
      However vtime headers need to stay low level because they are
      included in hardirq.h that mostly contains standalone
      definitions. But context_tracking.h includes sched.h for
      a few task_struct references, therefore it wouldn't be sensible
      to include it from vtime.h
      
      To solve this, lets split the context tracking headers and move
      out the pure state definitions that only require a few low level
      headers. We can safely include that small part in vtime.h later.

      vtime: Fix racy cputime delta update · 54461562
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      get_vtime_delta() must be called under the task vtime_seqlock
      with the code that does the cputime accounting flush.
      
      Otherwise the cputime reader can be fooled and run into
      a race where it sees the snapshot update but misses the
      cputime flush. As a result it can report a cputime that is
      way too short.
      
      Fix vtime_account_user() that wasn't complying to that rule.

      vtime: Remove a few unneeded generic vtime state checks · 7621d1f8
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Some generic vtime APIs check if the vtime accounting
      is enabled on the local CPU before doing their work.
      
      Some of these are not needed because all their callers already
      take care of that. Let's remove the checks on these.

      context_tracking: Remove full dynticks' hacky dependency on wide context tracking · d84d27a4
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
      on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
      
      This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
      full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
      more CPU-finegrained fashion.
      
      Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
      work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
      used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
      are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
      cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

      nohz: Only enable context tracking on full dynticks CPUs · 2e709338
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively
      enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that
      we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking
      and another range that does.
      
      Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full
      dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass
      our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks
      subsystem to the context tracking.
      
      This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent
      state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the
      full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking
      itself is still necessary everywhere.

      context_tracking: Fix runtime CPU off-case · d65ec121
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      As long as the context tracking is enabled on any CPU, even
      a single one, all other CPUs need to keep track of their
      user <-> kernel boundaries cross as well.
      
      This is because a task can sleep while servicing an exception
      that happened in the kernel or in userspace. Then when the task
      eventually wakes up and return from the exception, the CPU needs
      to know if we resume in userspace or in the kernel. exception_exit()
      get this information from exception_enter() that saved the previous
      state.
      
      If the CPU where the exception happened didn't keep track of
      these informations, exception_exit() doesn't know which state
      tracking to restore on the CPU where the task got migrated
      and we may return to userspace with the context tracking
      subsystem thinking that we are in kernel mode.
      
      This can be fixed in the long term if we move our context tracking
      probes on very low level arch fast path user <-> kernel boundary,
      although even that is worrisome as an exception can still happen
      in the few instructions between the probe and the actual iret.
      
      Also we are not yet ready to set these probes in the fast path given
      the potential overhead problem it induces.
      
      So let's fix this by always enable context tracking even on CPUs
      that are not in the full dynticks range. OTOH we can spare the
      rcu_user_*() and vtime_user_*() calls there because the tick runs
      on these CPUs and we can handle RCU state machine and cputime
      accounting through it.

      context_tracing: Fix guest accounting with native vtime · 2d854e57
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which
      combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter()
      and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs
      in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed
      on kvm context switches.
      
      2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those
      CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn
      call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we
      run in tick based accounting for these CPUs.
      
      Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations
      finally work.

      nohz: Do not warn about unstable tsc unless user uses nohz_full · 543487c7
      Steven Rostedt authored
      If the user enables CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and runs the kernel on a machine
      with an unstable TSC, it will produce a WARN_ON dump as well as taint
      the kernel. This is a bit extreme for a kernel that just enables a
      feature but doesn't use it.
      
      The warning should only happen if the user tries to use the feature by
      either adding nohz_full to the kernel command line, or by enabling
      CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL that makes nohz used on all CPUs at boot up. Note,
      this second feature should not (yet) be used by distros or anyone that
      doesn't care if NO_HZ is used or not.

      Pull tracing fixes and cleanups from Steven Rostedt:
       "This contains fixes, optimizations and some clean ups
      
        Some of the fixes need to go back to 3.10.  They are minor, and deal
        mostly with incorrect ref counting in accessing event files.
      
        There was a couple of optimizations that should have perf perform a
        bit better when accessing trace events.
      
        And some various clean ups.  Some of the clean ups are necessary to
        help in a fix to a theoretical race between opening a event file and
        deleting that event"

      Pull thermal management fixes from Zhang Rui:
       "These are fixes collected over the last week, they fixes several
        problems caused by the x86_pkg_temp_thermal introduced in 3.11-rc1.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - the x86_pkg_temp_thermal driver causes crash on systems with no
           package MSR support as there is a bug in the logic to check
           presence of DTHERM and PTS feature together.  Added a change so
           that when there is no PTS support, module doesn't get loaded.
      
         - fix krealloc() misuse in pkg_temp_thermal_device_add().
      
           If krealloc() returns NULL, it doesn't free the original.  Thus if
           we want to exit because of the krealloc() failure, we must make
           sure the original one is freed.
      
         - The error code path of the x86 package temperature thermal driver's
           initialization routine makes an unbalanced call to
           get_online_cpus(), which causes subsequent CPU offline operations,
           and consequently system suspend, to permanently block in
           cpu_hotplug_begin() on systems where get_core_online() returns an
           error code.
      
           Remove the extra get_online_cpus() to fix the problem"

      Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
        controversial.  The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
        fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
        so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
        that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
      
        The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
        BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
        do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
        and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
        with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
      
        However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
        not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
        methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
        attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break.  That occurs mostly
        in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
        methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
        8 compatibility.
      
        [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
          says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
          problems to show up elsewhere ]
      
        Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
        Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
        individual graphics drivers.  At least there's evidence that it does
        that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
        Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
        likes that part).
      
        The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
        which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
        compatible with Windows 8.
      
        The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
        by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
        be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
        Thinkpads).
      
        The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
        over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
        Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
        Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
      
        The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
        the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
        automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
        GUI.
      
        Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
        systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
        backlight control problems in the future.
      
         - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
           used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
           that we are compatible with Windows 8.
      
         - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
           the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
           (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).
      
         - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
           workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
           thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
           developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
           and Aaron Lu.
      
         - Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
           the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
           automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
           by GUI"

      Zheng Liu authored
      When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
      The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
      this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
      inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	int fd;
      
      	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
      	if (fd < 0) {
      		perror("open ");
      		return -1;
      	}
      	close(fd);

      Here we couldn't call clear_nlink() directly because in d_tmpfile() we
      will call inode_dec_link_count() to decrease ->i_nlink.  So this commit
      tries to call d_tmpfile() before ext4_orphan_add() to fix this problem.
