rcu: move PREEMPT_RCU config option back under PREEMPT

The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT.  This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.

This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be.  The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all

hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages

Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero.  Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero.  However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool.  Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.

This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off.  However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.

Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

Lee Schermerhorn [Mon, 10 Mar 2008 18:43:45 +0000 (11:43 -0700)]
mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs

Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path.  However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.

1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
   vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in
   leaking mempolicy structures.  This is probably occurring, but not being
   noticed.

   Fix:  add the conditional release of the reference.

2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
   mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in decrementing the reference
   count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
   freeing of task policy.  If this occurred, the next allocation using task
   mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.

   Fix:  add the necessary check to the release.

3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
   methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
    This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
   regular page shm segments.  However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
   hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference.  This
   results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
   the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.

   Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
   release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
   returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table

an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables

Commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.

The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in

This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.

This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it

For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the

sched: balance RT task resched only on runqueue

Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674

this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding
the tasks runqueue lock.  This was caused by the RT balancing code
that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the
current task.

There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release
the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance).
During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can
migrate to another runqueue.

In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of
lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called
on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small

Tasks would retain their old vruntime when moved between groups, this

x86-boot: don't request VBE2 information

The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f120) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.

Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K

is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller.  As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.

The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.

The error is very difficult to hit.  When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
