On 64 bit platforms this causes a type mismatch: linux/kernel/irq/irqdomain.c:575: warning: field width should have type 'int', but argument 6 has type 'long unsigned int' This change casts the size to an int so printf gets the right data type.

This breaks the platforms which need broadcast device oneshot services during deep idle states. tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() thinks that it is in periodic mode and fails to take proper decisions based on the CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_[ENTER, EXIT] notifications during deep idle entry/exit. Fix this by tracking the broadcast device mode as 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT', before leaving the broadcast HW device in shutdown mode if there are no active requests for the moment.

If we reach this point in the loop it means that we crossed a tick boundary since we grabbed the "now" timestamp, so at this point "now" refers to a time in the old jiffy, so using the old value for "now" is incorrect, and is likely to give us a stale jiffies value. In particular, the first time through the loop the tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) call is always a no-op, since the caller, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), will have already called tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) with that "now" value. Note that tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() already uses the correct approach: when we notice we cross a jiffy boundary, grab a new timestamp with ktime_get(), and *then* update jiffies.

The original commit executed the check (!oops_in_progress), but this will always be false because just before the dump_stack() there is a call to bust_spinlocks(1), which does the following: void __attribute__((weak)) bust_spinlocks(int yes) { if (yes) { ++oops_in_progress; The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either of the following conditions is true: 1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end()) This indicates and oops has already been printed. 2) oops_in_progress > 1 This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end() Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.3+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There is exactly one user of irq_virq_count in-tree right now: PS3. Also, irq_virq_count is only useful for the NOMAP mapping. So, instead of having a single global irq_virq_count values, this change drops it entirely and added a max_irq argument to irq_domain_add_nomap(). That makes it a property of an individual nomap irq domain instead of a global system settting.

The negitive value error return now suddenly looks like a valid irq number. Commits cc79ca69 (irq_domain: Move irq_domain code from powerpc to kernel/irq) and 1bc04f2c (irq_domain: Add support for base irq and hwirq in legacy mappings) move this code to its current location in irqdomain.c The result of all of this is a null pointer dereference OOPS if one of the error cases is hit. The fix: Don't cast away the negativeness of the return value and then check for errors.

The debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs. Some arch such as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a read only page. Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Smatch tool warned that the change from commit b8adde8dd (kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initialized) should add another null check later in the kdb_printf(). It is worth noting that the second use of dbg_io_ops->is_console is protected by the KDB_PAGER state variable which would only get set when kdb is fully active and initialized. If we ever encounter changes or defects in the KDB_PAGER state we do not want to crash the kernel in a kdb_printf/printk.

For example, pm_qos_update_request_timeout(req, 100, 1000), means that QoS request on req with value 100 will be active for 1000 microseconds. After 1000 microseconds, the QoS request thru req is reset. If there were another pm_qos_update_request(req, x) during the 1000 us, this new request with value x will override as this is another request on the same req handle. A new request on the same req handle will always override the previous request whether it is the conventional request or it is the new timeout request.

However, in fact, it wasn't called at a wrong time and freeze_processes() simply happened to be executed simultaneously. To avoid this race, at least in some cases, modify usermodehelper_read_trylock() so that it doesn't fail if the freezing of tasks has just started and hasn't been completed yet. Instead, during the freezing of tasks, it will try to freeze the task that has called it so that it can wait until user space is thawed without triggering the scary warning. For this purpose, change usermodehelper_disabled so that it can take three different values, UMH_ENABLED (0), UMH_FREEZING and UMH_DISABLED. The first one means that usermode helpers are enabled, the last one means "hard disable" (i.e. the system is not ready for usermode helpers to be used) and the second one is reserved for the freezer. Namely, when freeze_processes() is started, it sets usermodehelper_disabled to UMH_FREEZING which tells usermodehelper_read_trylock() that it shouldn't fail just yet and should call try_to_freeze() if woken up and cannot return immediately. This way all freezable tasks that happen to call request_firmware() right before freeze_processes() is started and lose the race for umhelper_sem with it will be frozen and will sleep until thaw_processes() unsets usermodehelper_disabled. [For the non-freezable callers of request_firmware() the race for umhelper_sem against freeze_processes() is unfortunately unavoidable.] Reported-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

However, it is always called right before freeze_processes() and usermodehelper_enable() is always called right after thaw_processes(). For this reason, to avoid code duplication and to make the connection between usermodehelper_disable() and the freezer more visible, make freeze_processes() call it and remove the direct usermodehelper_disable() and usermodehelper_enable() calls from all suspend/hibernation code paths.

For this reason, introduce an alternative routine for read-locking umhelper_sem, usermodehelper_read_lock_wait(), that will wait for usermodehelper_disabled to be unset (possibly with a timeout) and make request_firmware_work_func() use it instead of usermodehelper_read_trylock(). Accordingly, modify request_firmware() so that it uses usermodehelper_read_trylock() to acquire umhelper_sem and remove the code related to that lock from _request_firmware().

This means we'll see the registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule(). This is due to 838225b ("sched: use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current stack because it is being called from within an interrupt handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule(). [ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore(). It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ] Also-reported-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1332979847-27102-1-git-send-email-sboyd@codeaurora.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

For example for the 'CPU' PMU we have: aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/* -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask those lists of fields contain a specific format: aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp config1:0-63 So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following event format: -e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3 Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use. But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more structured than specifying hex numbers." * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (41 commits) perf tools: Remove auto-generated bison/flex files perf annotate: Fix off by one symbol hist size allocation and hit accounting perf tools: Add missing ref-cycles event back to event parser perf annotate: addr2line wants addresses in same format as objdump perf probe: Finder fails to resolve function name to address tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output perf symbols: Handle NULL dso in dso__name_len perf symbols: Do not include libgen.h perf tools: Fix bug in raw sample parsing perf tools: Fix display of first level of callchains perf tools: Switch module.h into export.h perf: Move mmap page data_head offset assertion out of header perf: Fix mmap_page capabilities and docs perf diff: Fix to work with new hists design perf tools: Fix modifier to be applied on correct events perf tools: Fix various casting issues for 32 bits perf tools: Simplify event_read_id exit path tracing: Fix ftrace stack trace entries tracing: Move the tracing_on/off() declarations into CONFIG_TRACING perf report: Add a simple GTK2-based 'perf report' browser ...

At the point of looking at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to the output functions to be incorrect. In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces would not be fully printed. Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.
