Rusty Russell 6c99e9ad47 sched: convert struct sched_group/sched_domain cpumask_ts to variable bitmaps
Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS.

We move the 'cpumask' member of sched_group to the end, so when we
kmalloc it we can do a minimal allocation: saves space for small
nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS.  Similar trick for 'span' in
sched_domain.

This isn't quite as good as converting to a cpumask_var_t, as some
sched_groups are actually static, but it's safer: we don't have to
figure out where to call alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var.

Rusty Russell 758b2cdc6f sched: wrap sched_group and sched_domain cpumask accesses.
Impact: trivial wrap of member accesses

This eases the transition in the next patch.

We also get rid of a temporary cpumask in find_idlest_cpu() thanks to
for_each_cpu_and, and sched_balance_self() due to getting weight before
setting sd to NULL.

Rusty Russell 1e5ce4f4a7 sched: remove any_online_cpu()
Impact: use new API

any_online_cpu() is a good name, but it takes a cpumask_t, not a
pointer.

There are several places where any_online_cpu() doesn't really want a
mask arg at all.  Replace all callers with cpumask_any() and
cpumask_any_and().

Rusty Russell abcd083a1a sched: convert sched.c from for_each_cpu_mask to for_each_cpu.
Impact: trivial API conversion

This is a simple conversion, but note that for_each_cpu() terminates
with i >= nr_cpu_ids, not i == NR_CPUS like for_each_cpu_mask() did.

I don't convert all of them: sd->span changes in a later patch, so
change those iterators there rather than here.

Pekka Paalanen 7ee1768ddb x86, mmiotrace: fix buffer overrun detection
Impact: fix mmiotrace overrun tracing

When ftrace framework moved to use the ring buffer facility, the buffer
overrun detection was broken after 2.6.27 by commit

| commit 3928a8a2d9

|     ftrace: make work with new ring buffer
|
|     This patch ports ftrace over to the new ring buffer.

The detection is now fixed by using the ring buffer API.

When mmiotrace detects a buffer overrun, it will report the number of
lost events. People reading an mmiotrace log must know if something was
missed, otherwise the data may not make sense.

This is because on do_exit(), kfree is called to free the return addresses stack
but kfree is traced and stored its return address in this stack.

Steven Rostedt 0429149fb5 trace: fix compiler warning in branch profiler
Impact: fix compiler warning

The ftrace_pointers used in the branch profiler are constant values.
They should never change. But the compiler complains when they are
passed into the debugfs_create_file as a data pointer, because the
function discards the qualifier.

This patch typecasts the parameter to debugfs_create_file back to
a void pointer. To remind the callbacks that they are pointing to
a constant value, I also modified the callback local pointers to
be const struct ftrace_pointer * as well.

Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the

unlikely.

You'll see stack entries like:

   /lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370]

You can convert them to function/line using:

   addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370

Or:

   addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370

For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work:

   a.out[+0x73b]

You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b
(where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out)

Török Edwin 02b67518e2 tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrl
Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature

Usage example:

 mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
 echo sched_switch >current_tracer
 echo 1 >tracing_enabled
 .... run application ...
 echo 0 >tracing_enabled

Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.

To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with
frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).

Frederic Weisbecker f201ae2356 tracing/function-return-tracer: store return stack into task_struct and allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely

Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.

So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.

Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork

I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Vegard Nossum 957ad0166e sched: update comment for move_task_off_dead_cpu
Impact: cleanup

This commit:

commit f7b4cddcc5
Author: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>
Date:   Tue Oct 16 23:30:56 2007 -0700

    do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(ta

    Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under
    write_lock_irq(tasklist).  This means it can't use task_lock() which is
    needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account.

    Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and
    change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist).

...forgot to update the comment in front of move_task_off_dead_cpu.

Liming Wang 522a110b42 function tracing: fix wrong position computing of stack_trace
Impact: make output of stack_trace complete if buffer overruns

When read buffer overruns, the output of stack_trace isn't complete.

When printing records with seq_printf in t_show, if the read buffer
has overruned by the current record, then this record won't be
printed to user space through read buffer, it will just be dropped in
this printing.

When next printing, t_start should return the "*pos"th record, which
is the one dropped by previous printing, but it just returns
(m->private + *pos)th record.

Here we use a more sane method to implement seq_operations which can
be found in kernel code. Thus we needn't initialize m->private.

About testing, it's not easy to overrun read buffer, but we can use
seq_printf to print more padding bytes in t_show, then it's easy to
check whether or not records are lost.

This commit has been tested on both condition of overrun and non
overrun.
