The PID assumes that samples are of equal time, which for a deferable timers this is not true when the system goes idle. This causes the PID to take a long time to converge to the min P state and depending on the pattern of the idle load can make the P state appear stuck. The hold-off value of three sample times before using the scaling is to give a grace period for applications that have high performance requirements and spend a lot of time idle, The poster child for this behavior is the ffmpeg benchmark in the Phoronix test suite.

Changing to fixed point math throughout the busy calculation in commit e66c1768 (Change busy calculation to use fixed point math.) Introduced some inaccuracies by rounding the busy value at two points in the calculation.

The root cause is: 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping; 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO mappings. This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum verification can be easily re-enabled. A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad tables. This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.

It is reported that Linux x86 kernel cannot map large tables. The following large SSDT table on such platform fails to pass checksum verification and cannot be installed: ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000B9638018 07A0C4 (v02 INTEL S2600CP 00004000 INTL 20100331) It sounds strange that in the 64-bit virtual memory address space, we cannot map a single ACPI table to do checksum verification. The root cause is: 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping; 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO mappings. ACPICA originally only mapped table header for signature validation, and this header mapping is required by OSL override mechanism. There was no checksum verification because we could not map the whole table using this OSL. While the following ACPICA commit enforces checksum verification by mapping the whole table during Linux boot stage and it finally triggers this issue on some platforms: Commit: 86dfc6f3 Subject: ACPICA: Tables: Fix table checksums verification before installation. Before doing further cleanups for the OSL table mapping and override implementation, this patch introduces an option for such OSPMs to temporarily discard the checksum verification feature. It then can be re-enabled easily when the ACPICA and the underlying OSL is ready. This patch also deletes a comment around the limitation of mappings because it is not correct. The limitation is not how many times we can map in the early stage, but the OSL mapping facility may not be suitable for mapping the ACPI tables and thus may complain us the size limitation. The acpi_tb_verify_table() is renamed to acpi_tb_verify_temp_table() due to the work around added, it now only applies to the table descriptor that hasn't been installed and cannot be used in other cases.

lock_parent() very much on purpose does nested locking of dentries, and is careful to maintain the right order (lock parent first). But because it didn't annotate the nested locking order, lockdep thought it might be a deadlock on d_lock, and complained. Add the proper annotation for the inner locking of the child dentry to make lockdep happy. Introduced by commit 046b961b ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier").

So a few people complained that commit 177cf92d Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Apr 1 22:14:59 2014 +0200 drm/crtc-helpers: fix dpms on logic which was merged into 3.15-rc1, broke resume on radeons. Strangely git bisect lead everyone to commit 25f397a4 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Fri Jul 19 18:57:11 2013 +0200 drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset which was merged long ago and actually part of 3.14. Digging deeper I've noticed (again) that the call to drm_helper_resume_force_mode in the radeon resume handlers was a no-op previously because everything gets shut down on suspend. radeon does this with explicit calls to drm_helper_connector_dpms with DPMS_OFF. But with 177c we now force the dpms state to ON, so suddenly resume_force_mode actually forced the crtcs back on. This is the intention of the change after all, the problem is that radeon resumes the fbdev console layer _before_ restoring the display, through calling fb_set_suspend. And fbcon does an immediate ->set_par, which in turn causes the same forced mode restore to happen. Two concurrent modeset operations didn't lead to happiness. Fix this by delaying the fbcon resume until the end of the readeon resum functions. v2: Fix up a bit of the spelling fail.

While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm, 3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow. When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path. I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path. Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely, lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size( meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64 already expaned to 16K. ) So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace. For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime. Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a chance to think over it. I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio maintainers.

Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using 35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example. Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're clearly getting too close. The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of function arguments. We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this simple stack increase too. Unlike most earlier reports, there is nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here, apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they should need to be. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael S Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: PJ Waskiewicz <pjwaskiewicz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull vfs dcache livelock fix from Al Viro: "Fixes for livelocks in shrink_dentry_list() introduced by fixes to shrink list corruption; the root cause was that trylock of parent's ->d_lock could be disrupted by d_walk() happening on other CPUs, resulting in shrink_dentry_list() making no progress *and* the same d_walk() being called again and again for as long as shrink_dentry_list() doesn't get past that mess. The solution is to have shrink_dentry_list() treat that trylock failure not as 'try to do the same thing again', but 'lock them in the right order'" * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: dentry_kill() doesn't need the second argument now dealing with the rest of shrink_dentry_list() livelock shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier expand dentry_kill(dentry, 0) in shrink_dentry_list() split dentry_kill() lift the "already marked killed" case into shrink_dentry_list()

We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where we are dropping references to ancestors. Same solution, basically - instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count (in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.

The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

Because of the growing demand for enumerating ACPI devices to platform bus, change the code to enumerate ACPI device objects to platform bus by default. Namely, create platform devices for the ACPI device objects that 1. Have pnp.type.platform_id set (device objects with _HID currently). 2. Do not have a scan handler attached. 3. Are not SPI/I2C slave devices (that should be enumerated to the appropriate buses bus by their parent).
