[PATCH] sched: relax pinned balancing

The maximum rebalance interval allowed by the multiprocessor balancing
backoff is often not large enough to handle corner cases where there are
lots of tasks pinned on a CPU.  Suresh reported:

I see system livelock's if for example I have 7000 processes
pinned onto one cpu (this is on the fastest 8-way system I
have access to).

After this patch, the machine is reported to go well above this number.

[PATCH] sched: consolidate sbe sbf

Consolidate balance-on-exec with balance-on-fork.  This is made easy by the
sched-domains RCU patches.

As well as the general goodness of code reduction, this allows the runqueues
to be unlocked during balance-on-fork.

schedstats is a problem.  Maybe just have balance-on-event instead of
distinguishing fork and exec?

[PATCH] sched: RCU domains

One of the problems with the multilevel balance-on-fork/exec is that it needs
to jump through hoops to satisfy sched-domain's locking semantics (that is,
you may traverse your own domain when not preemptable, and you may traverse
others' domains when holding their runqueue lock).

balance-on-exec had to potentially migrate between more than one CPU before
finding a final CPU to migrate to, and balance-on-fork needed to potentially
take multiple runqueue locks.

So bite the bullet and make sched-domains go completely RCU.  This actually
simplifies the code quite a bit.

[PATCH] sched: multilevel sbe sbf

The fundamental problem that Suresh has with balance on exec and fork is that
it only tries to balance the top level domain with the flag set.

This was worked around by removing degenerate domains, but is still a problem
if people want to start using more complex sched-domains, especially
multilevel NUMA that ia64 is already using.

This patch makes balance on fork and exec try balancing over not just the top
most domain with the flag set, but all the way down the domain tree.

[PATCH] sched: remove degenerate domains

Remove degenerate scheduler domains during the sched-domain init.

For example on x86_64, we always have NUMA configured in.  On Intel EM64T
systems, top most sched domain will be of NUMA and with only one sched_group
in it.

With fork/exec balances(recent Nick's fixes in -mm tree), we always endup
taking wrong decisions because of this topmost domain (as it contains only one
group and find_idlest_group always returns NULL).  We will endup loading HT
package completely first, letting active load balance kickin and correct it.

In general, this patch also makes sense with out recent Nick's fixes in -mm.

[PATCH] sched: fix SMT scheduling problems

SMT balancing has a couple of problems.  Firstly, active_load_balance is too
complex - basically it should be a dumb helper for when the periodic balancer
has determined there is an imbalance, but gets stuck because the task is
running.

So rip out all its "smarts", and just make it move one task to the target CPU.

Second, the busy CPU's sched-domain tree was being used for active balancing.
This means that it may not see that nr_balance_failed has reached a critical
level.  So use the target CPU's sched-domain tree for this.  We can do this
because we hold its runqueue lock.

Lastly, reset nr_balance_failed to a point where we allow cache hot migration.
This will help ensure active load balancing is successful.

Thanks to Suresh Siddha for pointing out these issues.

[PATCH] sched: improve load balancing pinned tasks

John Hawkes explained the problem best:

A large number of processes that are pinned to a single CPU results
in every other CPU's load_balance() seeing this overloaded CPU as
"busiest", yet move_tasks() never finds a task to pull-migrate.  This
condition occurs during module unload, but can also occur as a
denial-of-service using sys_sched_setaffinity().  Several hundred
CPUs performing this fruitless load_balance() will livelock on the
busiest CPU's runqueue lock.  A smaller number of CPUs will livelock
if the pinned task count gets high.

Expanding slightly on John's patch, this one attempts to work out whether the
balancing failure has been due to too many tasks pinned on the runqueue.  This
allows it to be basically invisible to the regular blancing paths (ie.  when
there are no pinned tasks).  We can use this extra knowledge to shut down the
balancing faster, and ensure the migration threads don't start running which
is another problem observed in the wild.

[PATCH] s390: debug feature changes

This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.

In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.

In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.

Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

This patch provides an option to switch broadcast or use mask version for

broadcast shortcuts by default, otherwise we choose broadcast mode as default.

both cases, one can change this via startup cmd line option, to choose
no-broadcast mode.

no_ipi_broadcast=1

This is provided on request from Andi Kleen, since he doesnt agree with
replacing IPI shortcuts as a solution for CPU hotplug.  Without removing
broadcast IPI's, it would mean lots of new code for __cpu_up() path, which
would acheive the same results.

[PATCH] x86_64: Dont use broadcast shortcut to make it cpu hotplug safe.

Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug.  CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI.  Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.

This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map.  Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.

The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway.  Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all

[PATCH] i386 CPU hotplug

(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
<shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)

The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree.  In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs().  The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs.  There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.

1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

[PATCH] selinux: add executable heap check

This patch,based on sample code by Roland McGrath, adds an execheap
permission check that controls the ability to make the heap executable so
that this can be prevented in almost all cases (the X server is presently
an exception, but this will hopefully be resolved in the future) so that
even programs with execmem permission will need to have the anonymous
memory mapped in order to make it executable.

The only reason that we use a permission check for such restriction (vs.
making it unconditional) is that the X module loader presently needs it; it
could possibly be made unconditional in the future when X is changed.

The policy patch for the execheap permission is available at:

[PATCH] selinux: add executable stack check

This patch adds an execstack permission check that controls the ability to
make the main process stack executable so that attempts to make the stack
executable can still be prevented even if the process is allowed the
existing execmem permission in order to e.g.  perform runtime code
generation.  Note that this does not yet address thread stacks.  Note also
that unlike the execmem check, the execstack check is only applied on
mprotect calls, not mmap calls, as the current security_file_mmap hook is
not passed the necessary information presently.

The original author of the code that makes the distinction of the stack
region, is Ingo Molnar, who wrote it within his patch for
/proc/<pid>/maps markers.
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110719881508591&w=2)

http://pearls.tuxedo-es.org/patches/selinux/policy-execstack.patch
http://pearls.tuxedo-es.org/patches/selinux/kernel-execstack.patch

policy-execstack.patch is the patch that needs to be applied to the policy in
order to support the execstack permission and exclude it
from general_domain_access within macros/core_macros.te.

kernel-execstack.patch adds such permission to the SELinux code within
the kernel and adds the proper permission check to the selinux_file_mprotect() hook.
