* checkpatch: look for common misspellingsKees Cook2014-10-142-1/+1085
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list. Several false positives were removed, and several additional words added that were common in the kernel: backword backwords invalide valide recieves singed unsinged While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree. In the 13830 commits between 3.15 and 3.16, the script would have noticed 560 spelling mistakes. The top 25 are shown here: $ git log --pretty=oneline v3.15..v3.16 | wc -l 13830 $ git log --format='%H' v3.15..v3.16 | \ while read commit ; do \ echo "commit $commit" ; \ git log --format=email --stat -p -1 $commit | \ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types=typo_spelling --no-summary - ; \ done | tee spell_v3.15..v3.16.txt | grep "may be misspelled" | \ awk '{print $2}' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 21 'seperate' 17 'endianess' 15 'sucess' 13 'noticable' 11 'occured' 11 'accomodate' 10 'interrup' 9 'prefered' 8 'unecessary' 8 'explicitely' 7 'supress' 7 'overriden' 7 'immediatly' 7 'funtion' 7 'defult' 7 'childs' 6 'succesful' 6 'splitted' 6 'specifc' 6 'reseting' 6 'recieve' 6 'changable' 5 'tmis' 5 'singed' 5 'preceeding' Thanks to Joe Perches for rewrites, suggestions, additional misspelling entries, and testing.

* checkpatch: warn on macros with flow control statementsJoe Perches2014-10-141-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to read as any flow movement is unexpected. Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition. Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the function name definition like: #define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type) \ rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...) \ { \ rtn_type rtn; \ [code...] \ return rtn; \ } Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* checkpatch: allow optional shorter config descriptionsVadim Bendebury2014-10-141-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This script is used by many other projects, and in some of them the requirement of at least 4 line long description for all Kconfig items is excessive. This patch adds a command line option to control the required minimum length. Tested running this script over a patch including a two line config description.

* lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKMValentin Rothberg2014-10-142-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel module. Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to indicate it. switch (*value) { case 'n': break; case 'm': suffix = "_MODULE"; /* fall through */ This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent use of the "_MODULE" suffix. This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to "TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The prio_heap code is unused since commit 889ed9ceaa97 ("cgroup: remove css_scan_tasks()"). It should be compiled out to shrink the binary kernel size which can be done via introducing CONFIG_PRIO_HEAD or by removing the code. We can simply recover the code from git when needed, so it would be better to remove it IMO. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: "David S.

* printk: git rid of [sched_delayed] message for printk_deferredMarkus Trippelsdorf2014-10-141-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 458df9fd4815 ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") hardcodes printk_deferred() to KERN_WARNING and inserts the string "[sched_delayed] " before the actual message. However it doesn't take into account the KERN_* prefix of the message, that now ends up in the middle of the output: [sched_delayed] ^a4CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec Fix this by just getting rid of the "[sched_delayed] " scnprintf(). The prefix is useless since 458df9fd4815 anyway since from that moment printk_deferred() inserts the message into the kernel printk buffer immediately. So if the message eventually gets printed to console, it is printed in the correct order with other messages and there's no need for any special prefix. And if the kernel crashes before the message makes it to console, then prefix in the printk buffer doesn't make the situation any better.

* mm/cma: fix cma bitmap aligned mask computingWeijie Yang2014-10-141-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align order is larger than cma->order_per_bit. Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to 6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as the expected align value. After using the current implementation however, we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511. This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

* mm/slab: fix unaligned access on sparc64Joonsoo Kim2014-10-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit bf0dea23a9c0 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache") changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to 0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment. Following bug report is reported from David Miller. I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64: [603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0 [603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0 ...

It's a timing related issue: native_cpu_die() would occasionally fall into a 100ms sleep when the CPU idle loop thread marked the CPU state to DEAD too slowly. What native_cpu_die() does is that it polls the CPU state and waits for 100ms if CPU state hasn't been marked to DEAD. The 100ms sleep doesn't make sense and is purely historic. To avoid such long sleeping, this patch adds a 'struct completion' to each CPU, waits for the completion in native_cpu_die() and wakes up the completion when the CPU state is marked to DEAD. Tested on an Intel Xeon server with 48 cores, Ivybridge and on Haswell laptops. The CPU offlining cost on these machines is reduced from more than 100ms to less than 5ms. The system suspend time is reduced by 2.3s on the servers. Borislav and Prarit also helped to test the patch on an AMD machine and a few systems of various sizes and configurations (multi-socket, single-socket, no hyper threading, etc.). No issues were seen.

The directives were split into separate files by this commit: af170c5061dd ("UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/x86/include/asm") The comment explaining their interaction was retained and is now present in arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/e820.h.

We can safely remove the first instances. In fact, since the -mno-mmx and -mno-sse options were introduced simultaneous with the other two options in the $(cc-option) [according to http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-3.1/changes.html], and since the former were unconditionally used, one can deduce that only gcc versions knowing about all four are supported. So also eliminate the $(cc-option) wrap.

(It reproducible more often if host is over-committed). It happens because master CPU gives up waiting on secondary CPU and allows it to run wild. As result AP causes locking or crashing system. For example as described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257 If master CPU have sent STARTUP IPI successfully, and AP signalled to master CPU that it's ready to start initialization, make master CPU wait indefinitely till AP is onlined. To ensure that AP won't ever run wild, make it wait at early startup till master CPU confirms its intention to wait for AP. If AP doesn't respond in 10 seconds, the master CPU will timeout and cancel AP onlining.

This change has been introduced to ensure a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect, it can also generate useless active migration between groups. Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the task of a busy CPU. The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU. Before caeb178c60f4f93f1b45c0bc056b5cf6d217b67f, the filtering of such use case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g: if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) && busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight) This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2 groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded, moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it. A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following results: command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test. With Mainline, perf gives the following figures: Samples: 727 of event 'sched:sched_migrate_task' Event count (approx.): 727 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol ........ ............... ............. .............. 12.52% migration/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.52% migration/5 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.52% migration/7 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.10% migration/6 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.83% migration/0 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.83% migration/3 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.14% migration/4 [unknown] [.] 00000000 10.87% migration/2 [unknown] [.] 00000000 2.75% sysbench [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.83% swapper [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.55% ktps65090charge [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.41% mmcqd/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.14% perf [unknown] [.] 00000000 With this patch, perf gives the following figures Samples: 20 of event 'sched:sched_migrate_task' Event count (approx.): 20 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol ........ ............... ............. .............. 80.00% sysbench [unknown] [.] 00000000 10.00% swapper [unknown] [.] 00000000 5.00% ktps65090charge [unknown] [.] 00000000 5.00% migration/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1412170735-5356-1-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
