The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check that the source of the snapshot is valid. Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless. This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.

The cputime accounting in full dynticks can be a subtle mixup of CPUs using tick based accounting and others using generic vtime. As long as the tick can have a share on producing these stats, we want to scale the result against CFS precise accounting as the tick can miss some task hiding between the periodic interrupt.

If no CPU is in the full dynticks range, we can avoid the full dynticks cputime accounting through generic vtime along with its overhead and use the traditional tick based accounting instead.

If the arch overrides some generic vtime APIs, let it describe these on a dedicated and standalone header. This way it becomes convenient to include it in vtime generic headers without irrelevant stuff in such a low level header.

The m68k irqflags implementation needs to check hardirq context in some cases. As it is a very low level header file, it's better to include preempt_mask.h rather than hardirq.h when the only purpose is to use irq context APIs. This way we can avoid future header circular dependencies when vtime.h will expand to use static keys.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

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.

Commit f1a18a10 "Thermal: CPU Package temperature thermal" had code that did a get_online_cpus(), run a loop and then do a put_online_cpus(). The problem is that the loop had an error exit that would skip the put_online_cpus() part. In the error exit part of the function, it also did a get_online_cpus(), run a loop and then put_online_cpus(). The only way to get to the error exit part is with get_online_cpus() already performed. If this error condition is hit, the system will be prevented from taking CPUs offline. The process taking the CPU offline will lock up hard. Removing the get_online_cpus() removes the lockup as the hotplug CPU refcount is back to zero. This was bisected with ktest.

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.

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); return 0; } The oops message looks like this: kernel: kernel BUG at fs/ext3/namei.c:1992! kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP kernel: Modules linked in: ext4 jbd2 crc16 cpufreq_ondemand ipv6 dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod parport_pc parport serio_raw sg dcdbas pcspkr i2c_i801 ehci_pci ehci_hcd button acpi_cpufreq mperf e1000e ptp pps_core ttm drm_kms_helper drm hwmon i2c_algo_bit i2c_core ext3 jbd sd_mod ahci libahci libata scsi_mod uhci_hcd kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 2882 Comm: tst_tmpfile Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1+ #4 kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.

Pull staging tree fixes from Greg KH: "Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in through this tree. I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers who originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR still will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver pretty much obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now prevents people from sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that will never go anywhere. It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that happened in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat. :)" * tag 'staging-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: staging: csr: remove driver iio: lps331ap: Fix wrong in_pressure_scale output value iio staging: fix lis3l02dq, read error handling staging:iio:ad7291: add missing .driver_module to struct iio_info iio: ti_am335x_adc: add missing .driver_module to struct iio_info iio: mxs-lradc: Remove useless check in read_raw iio: mxs-lradc: Fix misuse of iio->trig iio: inkern: fix iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked iio: Fix iio_channel_has_info iio:trigger: device_unregister->device_del to avoid double free iio: dac: ad7303: fix error return code in ad7303_probe()
