2009-01-16kprobes: check CONFIG_FREEZER instead of CONFIG_PMMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+1
Check CONFIG_FREEZER instead of CONFIG_PM because kprobe booster depends on freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. This fixes a linkage error which occurs when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, CONFIG_PM=y and CONFIG_FREEZER=n.

2009-01-15[IA64] dump stack on kernel unaligned warningsDoug Chapman1-0/+9
Often the cause of kernel unaligned access warnings is not obvious from just the ip displayed in the warning. This adds the option via proc to dump the stack in addition to the warning.

2009-01-15sched: fix update_min_vruntimePeter Zijlstra1-1/+1
Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is equally obviously empty). 'A' nicely chugs along, doing its thing, carrying min_vruntime along as it goes. Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case update_curr update_min_vruntime cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree) vruntime = se->vruntime and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be. OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with... Aah, yes. Say we've just dequeued current schedule deactivate_task(prev) dequeue_entity update_min_vruntime Then we'll set vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime; we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_ do vruntime = se->vruntime, because vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime) will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc1bf7c62ec9fb2d307206e18bf40a69 (sched: more accurate min_vruntime accounting).

2009-01-15sched: fix bandwidth validation for UID groupingPeter Zijlstra1-0/+7
Impact: make rt-limit tunables work again Mark Glines reported: > I've got an issue on x86-64 where I can't configure the system to allow > RT tasks for a non-root user. > > In 2.6.26.5, I was able to do the following to set things up nicely: > echo 450000 >/sys/kernel/uids/0/cpu_rt_runtime > echo 450000 >/sys/kernel/uids/1000/cpu_rt_runtime > > Seems like every value I try to echo into the /sys files returns EINVAL. For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the bandwidth check always fails. Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth settings.

2009-01-12Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging"Ingo Molnar1-1/+1
This reverts commit 7317d7b87edb41a9135e30be1ec3f7ef817c53dd. This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup on both x86 and powerpc. kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy), so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which can run in IRQ contexts too.

If you do smp_call_function_single(expression-with-side-effects, ...) then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds. As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do. While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency reasons. And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put uniprocessor-specific code and storage. It should mirror kernel/smp.c. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
