sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() regression in selecting an idle SMT sibling
MAINTAINERS: Update tip.git related git trees
Mike Galbraith reported that this recent commit:
commit 4dcfe1025b
Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Thu Nov 10 13:01:10 2011 +0100
sched: Avoid SMT siblings in select_idle_sibling() if possible
stopped selecting an idle SMT sibling when there are no idle
cores in a single socket system.
Intent of the select_idle_sibling() was to fallback to an idle
SMT sibling, if it fails to identify an idle core. But this
fallback was not happening on systems where all the scheduler
domains had `SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES' flag set.
Fix it. Slightly bigger patch of cleaning all these goto's etc
is queued up for the next release.

perf_event_sched_in() shouldn't try to schedule task events if there
are none otherwise task's ctx->is_active will be set and will not be
cleared during sched_out. This will prevent newly added events from
being scheduled into the task context.
Fixes a boo-boo in commit 1d5f003f5a ("perf: Do not set task_ctx

Since commit f59de89 ("lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization"),
lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break
lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition
is like below:
CPU A CPU B
lock_set_subclass(lockA);
lock_set_class(lockA);
lockdep_init_map(lockA);
/* lockA->name is cleared */
memset(lockA);
__lock_acquire(lockA);
/* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */
register_lock_class(lockA);
look_up_lock_class(lockA);
WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name !=
lock->name);
lock->name = name;
So restore to what we have done before commit f59de89 but annotate
->lock with kmemcheck_mark_initialized() to suppress the kmemcheck
warning reported in commit f59de89.

The expiry function compares the timer against current time and does
not expire the timer when the expiry time is >= now. That's wrong. If
the timer is set for now, then it must expire.
Make the condition expiry > now for breaking out the loop.

If the set_ftrace_filter is cleared by writing just whitespace to
it, then the filter hash refcounts will be decremented but not
updated. This causes two bugs:
1) No functions will be enabled for tracing when they all should be
2) If the users clears the set_ftrace_filter twice, it will crash ftrace:

A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was
accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to
run slower than needed while running function tracing as well
as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE
is not set. This is because the code in MCOUNT expects the ftrace
code to be processed with the config value set that happened to
be forced not set.
The forced config option was left in by:

Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from
ever being released.
Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting
events. Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to
increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that. Fix this by
touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user -
subsystem_open().

When you do:
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10
You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at
1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You
get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event:
$ perf report -D | tail -15
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 10998
MMAP events: 66
COMM events: 2
SAMPLE events: 10930
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3642
SAMPLE events: 3642
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable
of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those
events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active).
And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number
of samples per event.
The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer
to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user
notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.
The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.
Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

If a device is shutdown, then there might be a pending interrupt,
which will be processed after we reenable interrupts, which causes the
original handler to be run. If the old handler is the (broadcast)
periodic handler the shutdown state might hang the kernel completely.

In irq_wait_for_interrupt(), the should_stop member is verified before
setting the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule().
In case kthread_stop sets should_stop and wakes up the process after
should_stop is checked by the irq thread but before the task's state
is changed, the irq thread might never exit:
kthread_stop irq_wait_for_interrupt
------------ ----------------------
...
... while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
kthread->should_stop = 1;
wake_up_process(k);
wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited);
...
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
...
schedule();
}
Fix this by checking if the thread should stop after modifying the
task's state.
