Add a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_RB build option for the previously existing
DEBUG_MM_RB code. Now that Andi Kleen modified it to avoid using
recursive algorithms, we can expose it a bit more.
Also extend this code to validate_mm() after stack expansion, and to check
that the vma's start and last pgoffs have not changed since the nodes were
inserted on the anon vma interval tree (as it is important that the nodes
be reindexed after each such update).

After both prio_tree users have been converted to use red-black trees,
there is no need to keep around the prio tree library anymore.

Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented
rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of
interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are
slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x)
on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have
not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees
would still come out faster.
Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic,
and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree.
Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use
a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here
because the intervals are always non-overlapping.
Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library.
Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now
providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be
inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement
for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost
as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals;
however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented
rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree.
I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to
replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of
the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding
code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval
trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio
trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap'
constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case
complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio
tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches,
N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees
don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint
makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to
simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always
ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties
makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a
higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval
tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree.
This patch:
Add two test modules:
- prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for
insertion/removal and for stabbing searches
- interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent
functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support.
In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is
introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file
for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage
over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit,
and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality
could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

This small module helps measure the performance of rbtree insert and
erase.
Additionally, we run a few correctness tests to check that the rbtrees
have all desired properties:
- contains the right number of nodes in the order desired,
- never two consecutive red nodes on any path,
- all paths to leaf nodes have the same number of black nodes,
- root node is black

The main option should not appear in the resulting .config when the
dependencies aren't met (i.e. use "depends on" rather than directly
setting the default from the combined dependency values).
The sub-options should depend on the main option rather than a more

There have been some recent bugs that were triggered only when
preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_unlock() was preempted just after setting
->rcu_read_lock_nesting to INT_MIN, which is a low-probability event.
Therefore, reproducing those bugs (to say nothing of gaining confidence
in alleged fixes) was quite difficult. This commit therefore creates
a new debug-only RCU kernel config option that forces a short delay
in __rcu_read_unlock() to increase the probability of those sorts of
bugs occurring.

Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new
framework.
This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected. We could
keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
but it seems overkill for this module.
This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
callbacks. It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".
Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
# echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory

This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error
handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to
the following notifier chain callbacks.
* CPU notifier
* PM notifier
* memory hotplug notifier
* powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier
Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to
tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline
test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection
module is available.
This patch:
The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical
errors to specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the
error handling of notifier call chain failures.
This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be
fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code
should be returned and which event should be failed.

debug: Do not permit CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE=y on IA64 or PARISC
[IA64] Port OOM changes to ia64_do_page_fault
|
|
The stack_not_used() function in <linux/sched.h> assumes that stacks
grow downwards. This is not true on IA64 or PARISC, so this function
would walk off in the wrong direction and into the weeds.
Found on IA64 because of a compilation failure with recursive dependencies
on IA64_TASKSIZE and IA64_THREAD_INFO_SIZE.
Fixing the code is possible, but should be combined with other
infrastructure additions to set up the "canary" at the end of the stack.

Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing

sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.

is fixed.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:
- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)
This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.
The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.
This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.
- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.
- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.
- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
...
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.
This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.
- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.
- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.
- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.
- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).
- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.
- 'perf bench' improvements
- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

There have been situations where RCU CPU stall warnings were caused by
issues in scheduling-clock timer initialization. To make it easier to
track these down, this commit causes the RCU CPU stall-warning messages
to print out the number of scheduling-clock interrupts taken in the
current grace period for each stalled CPU.

- Stop validating subdirectories now that we only register leaf tables
- Cleanup and improve the duplicate filename check.
* Run the duplicate filename check under the sysctl_lock to guarantee
we never add duplicate names.
* Reduce the duplicate filename check to nearly O(M*N) where M is the
number of entries in tthe table we are registering and N is the
number of entries in the directory before we got there.
- Move the duplicate filename check into it's own function and call
it directtly from __register_sysctl_table
- Kill the config option as the sanity checks are now cheap enough
the config option is unnecessary. The original reason for the config
option was because we had a huge table used to verify the proc filename
to binary sysctl mapping. That table has now evolved into the binary_sysctl
translation layer and is no longer part of the sysctl_check code.
- Tighten up the permission checks. Guarnateeing that files only have read
or write permissions.
- Removed redudant check for parents having a procname as now everything has
a procname.
- Generalize the backtrace logic so that we print a backtrace from
any failure of __register_sysctl_table that was not caused by
a memmory allocation failure. The backtrace allows us to track
down who erroneously registered a sysctl table.
Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=y):
make-dummies 0 999 -> 12s
rmmod dummy -> 0.08s
Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=n):
make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.7s
rmmod dummy -> 0.06s
make-dummies 0 99999 -> 1m13s
rmmod dummy -> 0.38s
Benchmark after:
make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.65s
rmmod dummy -> 0.055s
make-dummies 0 9999 -> 1m10s
rmmod dummy -> 0.39s
The sysctl sanity checks now impose no measurable cost.

This adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer.
The mmc core will return error even though the host transfer is successful.
This simple fault injection proved to be very useful to test the
non-blocking error handling in the mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq().
Random faults can also test how the host driver handles pre_req()
and post_req() in case of errors.

Thumb2 kernels cannot be built with frame pointers, but can use the
ARM_UNWIND feature for unwinding instead. This makes sure that all
features that rely on unwinding includeing CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and
FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER do not enable frame pointers
when the unwinder is already selected, and we always build with
the unwinder when we want a thumb2 kernel, to make sure we do not
get the frame pointers instead.
A different option would be to redefine the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS
option on ARM to mean builing with either frame pointers or
the unwinder, and then select which one to use based on the
CPU architecture or another user option. That would still allow
building thumb2 kernels without the unwinder but would also be
more confusing.

The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used
for more general sleeping inside atomic sections
debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical
sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc...
Change the name of the config and its help section to
reflect its more general role.

Select CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT when we enable the sleeping inside
spinlock detection, so that the preempt offset gets correctly
incremented/decremented from preempt_disable()/preempt_enable().
This makes the preempt count eventually working in !CONFIG_PREEMPT
when that debug option is set and thus fixes the detection of explicit
preemption disabled sections under such config. Code that sleeps
in explicitly preempt disabled section can be finally spotted
in non-preemptible kernels.

Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it
to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
already used in generic code.
It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
keeping the most inclusive wording.

DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is used in lib/cpumask.c as well as in
inlcude/linux/cpumask.h and thus it has outgrown its use within x86 and
powerpc alone. Any arch with SMP support may want to get some more
debugging, so make this option generic.
