With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools, we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results. This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints. With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took): Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141 Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29 Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24 Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4 Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1 Signed-off-by:

Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma(). Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if you split the stack with mlock or mprotect. Tested-by:

If we've split the stack vma, only the lowest one has the guard page. Now that we have a doubly linked list of vma's, checking this is trivial. Tested-by:

Linus Torvalds authored
It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it doubly linked instead. Tested-by:

Apparently, the check for a 6-byte ID string introduced by commit 426c457a ("mtd: nand: extend NAND flash detection to new MLC chips") is NOT sufficient to determine whether or not a Samsung chip uses their new MLC detection scheme or the old, standard scheme. This adds a condition to check cell type. Signed-off-by:

Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock. Signed-off-by:

dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the target task's UID. To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs that one thing from the creds. The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the target process replacing its credentials on another CPU. Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly. =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- mm/oom_kill.c:410 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 4 locks held by kworker/1:2/651: #0: (events){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>] process_one_work+0x137/0x4a0 #1: (moom_work){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>] process_one_work+0x137/0x4a0 #2: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff810fafd4>] out_of_memory+0x164/0x3f0 #3: (&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff810fa48e>] find_lock_task_mm+0x2e/0x70 Signed-off-by:KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by:

Because list_empty() does not dereference any RCU-protected pointers, and further does not pass such pointers to the caller (so that the caller does not dereference them either), it is safe to use list_empty() on RCU-protected lists. There is no need for a list_empty_rcu(). This commit adds a comment stating this explicitly. Requested-by:

The CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU kernel configuration parameter was recently re-introduced, but as an indication of the type of RCU (preemptible vs. non-preemptible) instead of as selecting a given implementation. This commit uses CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU to combine duplicate code from include/linux/rcutiny.h and include/linux/rcutree.h into include/linux/rcupdate.h.

When using a kernel debugger, a long sojourn in the debugger can get you lots of RCU CPU stall warnings once you resume. This might not be helpful, especially if you are using the system console. This patch therefore allows RCU CPU stall warnings to be suppressed, but only for the duration of the current set of grace periods. This differs from Jason's original patch in that it adds support for tiny RCU and preemptible RCU, and uses a slightly different method for suppressing the RCU CPU stall warning messages.
