When an exception or an irq exits, and we are going to resume into interrupted kernel code, the low level architecture code calls preempt_schedule_irq() if there is a need to reschedule. If the interrupt/exception occured between a call to rcu_user_enter() (from syscall exit, exception exit, do_notify_resume exit, ...) and a real resume to userspace (iret,...), preempt_schedule_irq() can be called whereas RCU thinks we are in userspace. But preempt_schedule_irq() is going to run kernel code and may be some RCU read side critical section. We must exit the userspace extended quiescent state before we call it. To solve this, just call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of preempt_schedule_irq(). Signed-off-by:

By default we don't want to enter into RCU extended quiescent state while in userspace because doing this produces some overhead (eg: use of syscall slowpath). Set it off by default and ready to run when some feature like adaptive tickless need it. Signed-off-by:

Allow calls to rcu_user_enter() even if we are already in userspace (as seen by RCU) and allow calls to rcu_user_exit() even if we are already in the kernel. This makes the APIs more flexible to be called from architectures. Exception entries for example won't need to know if they come from userspace before calling rcu_user_exit(). Signed-off-by:

The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ tries reasonably hard to rid the current CPU of RCU callbacks. This is appropriate when the CPU is entering idle, where it doesn't have much useful to do anyway, but is most definitely not what you want when transitioning to user-mode execution. This commit therefore detects the adaptive-tick case, and refrains from burning CPU time getting rid of RCU callbacks in that case. Signed-off-by:

In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this CPU a resched IPI. In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler after having exited that mode. To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU: - rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state. In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt. - rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent state. [ Combined with "Allow calls to rcu_exit_user_irq from nesting irqs." ] Signed-off-by:

RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in question. This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode. These are quite similar to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they omit the idle-task checks. [ Updated to use "user" flag rather than separate check functions. ] [ paulmck: Updated to drop exports of new functions based on Josh's patch getting rid of the need for them. ] Signed-off-by:

Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1. Since commit 7a623c03 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc(). Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc(). The BUG this patch resolves for me: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) EIP is at __wake_up_common+0x1a/0x6a Process modprobe (pid: 933, ti=f3dc6000 task=f3db9520 task.ti=f3dc6000) Call Trace: complete_all+0x3f/0x50 device_pm_remove+0x23/0xa2 device_del+0x34/0x142 edac_unregister_sysfs+0x3b/0x5c [edac_core] edac_mc_free+0x29/0x2f [edac_core] e7xxx_probe1+0x268/0x311 [e7xxx_edac] e7xxx_init_one+0x56/0x61 [e7xxx_edac] local_pci_probe+0x13/0x15 ...

Should be "row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses). L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop, which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak. L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free for the kfree(csr) in L427. L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory. The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1 merge window.

coretemp_init loops with for_each_online_cpu, adding platform_devices and sysfs interfaces, then calls register_hotcpu_notifier. There is a race if a CPU is offlined or onlined after the loop, but before register_hotcpu_notifier. The race might result in the absence of a platform_device+sysfs interface for an online CPU, or the presence of a platform_device+sysfs interface for an offline CPU. A similar race occurs during coretemp_exit, after the module calls unregister_hotcpu_notifier, but before it unregisters all devices, a CPU might offline and a device for an offline CPU will exist for a short while. This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus; and surrounds unregister_hotcpu_notifier and device unregistering with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.

Traditionally, the entire idle task served as an RCU quiescent state. But when RCU read side critical sections started appearing within the idle loop, this traditional strategy became untenable. The fix was to create new RCU APIs named rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), which must be called by each architecture's idle loop so that RCU can tell when it is safe to ignore a given idle CPU. Unfortunately, this fix was never applied to ia64, a shortcoming remedied by this commit. Reported by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

Peter Zijlstra authored
Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few lines of code. Rabik's issue is that the nr_uninterruptible migration code is wrong in that he sees artifacts due to this (Rabik please do expand in more detail). Paul's issue is that this code as it stands relies on us using stop_machine() for unplug, we all would like to remove this assumption so that eventually we can remove this stop_machine() usage altogether. The only reason we'd have to migrate nr_uninterruptible is so that we could use for_each_online_cpu() loops in favour of for_each_possible_cpu() loops, however since nr_uninterruptible() is the only such loop and its using possible lets not bother at all. The problem Rabik sees is (probably) caused by the fact that by migrating nr_uninterruptible we screw rq->calc_load_active for both rqs involved. So don't bother with fancy migration schemes (meaning we now have to keep using for_each_possible_cpu()) and instead fold any nr_active delta after we migrate all tasks away to make sure we don't have any skewed nr_active accounting. [ paulmck: Move call to calc_load_migration to CPU_DEAD to avoid miscounting noted by Rakib. ] Reported-by:

Posting a callback after the CPU_DEAD notifier effectively leaks that callback unless/until that CPU comes back online. Silence is unhelpful when attempting to track down such leaks, so this commit emits a WARN_ON_ONCE() and unconditionally leaks the callback when an offline CPU attempts to register a callback. The rdp->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL] is set to NULL in the CPU_DEAD notifier and restored in the CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier, allowing _call_rcu() to determine exactly when posting callbacks is illegal.
