2010-04-21tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffersFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens. It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many, plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces. Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the opps, most of the time it is our main interest. This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice. The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed. Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous behaviour.

2010-04-13Input: implement SysRq as a separate input handlerDmitry Torokhov1-30/+213
Instead of keeping SysRq support inside of legacy keyboard driver split it out into a separate input handler (filter). This stops most SysRq input events from leaking into evdev clients (some events, such as first SysRq scancode - not keycode - event, are still leaked into both legacy keyboard and evdev).

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-16oom-kill: fix NUMA constraint check with nodemaskKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+1
Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this as a bugfix not as an ehnancement. In these days, things are changed as - alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask(). - mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists. (And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask()) So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong. This patch does - check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY. - Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall this faiulre is from cpuset. And - modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE. This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself. - handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path. This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar1-2/+2
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-08-02debug lockups: Improve lockup detectionIngo Molnar1-6/+2
When debugging a recent lockup bug i found various deficiencies in how our current lockup detection helpers work: - SysRq-L is not very efficient as it uses a workqueue, hence it cannot punch through hard lockups and cannot see through most soft lockups either. - The SysRq-L code depends on the NMI watchdog - which is off by default. - We dont print backtraces from the RCU code's built-in 'RCU state machine is stuck' debug code. This debug code tends to be one of the first (and only) mechanisms that show that a lockup has occured. This patch changes the code so taht we: - Trigger the NMI backtrace code from SysRq-L instead of using a workqueue (which cannot punch through hard lockups) - Trigger print-all-CPU-backtraces from the RCU lockup detection code Also decouple the backtrace printing code from the NMI watchdog: - Dont use variable size cpumasks (it might not be initialized and they are a bit more fragile anyway) - Trigger an NMI immediately via an IPI, instead of waiting for the NMI tick to occur. This is a lot faster and can produce more relevant backtraces. It will also work if the NMI watchdog is disabled. - Dont print the 'dazed and confused' message when we print a backtrace from the NMI - Do a show_regs() plus a dump_stack() to get maximum info out of the dump. Worst-case we get two stacktraces - which is not a big deal. Sometimes, if register content is corrupted, the precise stack walker in show_regs() wont give us a full backtrace - in this case dump_stack() will do it. Cc: Paul E.

2009-07-29sysrq, kdump: make sysrq-c consistentHidetoshi Seto1-3/+5
commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

2009-06-18kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handlerNeil Horman1-9/+6
Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its behavior which is really unnecessecary. If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec kernel has been loaded). It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler (assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

Commit 79e539453b34e35f39299a899d263b0a1f1670bd introduced a regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the code were cleaned up as well. This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

2009-04-01filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystemsEric Sandeen1-1/+18
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen root filesystems may be in order. The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps something like this would be useful in emergencies. For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if you forgot that you had that unmounted. I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character). I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

Implement the core kernel bits of Performance Counters subsystem. The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of performance counter hardware capabilities. It provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event capabilities on top of those. Performance counters are accessed via special file descriptors. There's one file descriptor per virtual counter used. The special file descriptor is opened via the perf_counter_open() system call: int perf_counter_open(u32 hw_event_type, u32 hw_event_period, u32 record_type, pid_t pid, int cpu); The syscall returns the new fd. The fd can be used via the normal VFS system calls: read() can be used to read the counter, fcntl() can be used to set the blocking mode, etc. Multiple counters can be kept open at a time, and the counters can be poll()ed.

2008-05-20sparc64: Add global register dumping facility.David S. Miller1-0/+1
When a cpu really is stuck in the kernel, it can be often impossible to figure out which cpu is stuck where. The worst case is when the stuck cpu has interrupts disabled. Therefore, implement a global cpu state capture that uses SMP message interrupts which are not disabled by the normal IRQ enable/disable APIs of the kernel. As long as we can get a sysrq 'y' to the kernel, we can get a dump. Even if the console interrupt cpu is wedged, we can trigger it from userspace using /proc/sysrq-trigger The output is made compact so that this facility is more useful on high cpu count systems, which is where this facility will likely find itself the most useful :) Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-29sysrq: add show-backtrace-on-all-cpus functionRik van Riel1-0/+46
SysRQ-P is not always useful on SMP systems, since it usually ends up showing the backtrace of a CPU that is doing just fine, instead of the backtrace of the CPU that is having problems. This patch adds SysRQ show-all-cpus(L), which shows the backtrace of every active CPU in the system. It skips idle CPUs because some SMP systems are just too large and we already know what the backtrace of the idle task looks like.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn1-1/+1
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-02-13[PATCH] Fix SAK_work workqueue initialization.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+0
Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling got broken. Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API was changing so fast I missed something. Regardless currently triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org> for spotting this. This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK. I update both data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency. All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone. If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate schedule_work request. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-11[PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processingEric W. Biederman1-3/+3
This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing. With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

All callers of register_sysrq_key() are now marked in the sysrq op/key table. I didn't mark 'h' as Help because Help is just printed for any unknown key, such as '?'.
