This moves the ptrace-related logic from release_task into tracehook.h and
ptrace.h inlines. It provides clean hooks both before and after locking
tasklist_lock, for future tracing logic to do more cleanup without the
lock.
This also changes release_task() itself in the rare "zap_leader" case to
set the leader to EXIT_DEAD before iterating. This maintains the
invariant that release_task() only ever handles a task in EXIT_DEAD. This
is a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one
arcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.
This change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.
It keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when
debugging weirdness in release_task(). It also lets some future code in
the tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.

This moves all the ptrace initialization and tracing logic for task
creation into tracehook.h and ptrace.h inlines. It reorganizes the code
slightly, but should not change any behavior.
There are four tracehook entry points, at each important stage of task
creation. This keeps the interface from the core fork.c code fairly
clean, while supporting the complex setup required for ptrace or something
like it.

This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines.
This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks
into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module. This
change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions
did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does
it immediately after return if successful. We consolidate the repeated
code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().

This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in
<linux/tracehook.h>. There are more details in the log entry for patch
01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these
changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not
break anything or change any behavior.
This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean
arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff,
denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to
arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before
setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK". These are elaborted a bit at:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo
The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc
comments in the generic header files that say what is required.
No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken
by these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so
it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this
support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of
user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future. For an arch
that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such
features will not be available for config.
I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers
after the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is
available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at
http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/
This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later. But it is
not innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in
soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it. For
anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just
understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation,
having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand.
This patch:
This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>. This
is not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the
following series of patches is about.
The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core
kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation.
These patches mostly don't cause any functional change. They just move
the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines,
where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that
changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future
reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch
core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines.
The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the
new tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops
makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of
these stops conditionally later.

passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.
Non-trivial places are:

If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will
pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to
see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or
otherwise pinning a reference to the page.
This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the
whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something
else, we must be able to free it with a put_page).
Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the
page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need
an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page
in either case.
This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie.
adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make
it work).
Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting
page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to
hold off speculative getters.

Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86.
Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any
page table locks or even mmap_sem. Page table existence is guaranteed by
turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking
up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the
constraints of the TLB shootdown design). Basically we can do this
lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable
walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes.
This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use
it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8
core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5
"To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM
x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at
2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel. Comparing
runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance
benefit of ~9.8%. Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from
__up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention
for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%. Monitoring the
/proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for
fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was
zero."
(fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a
counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked).
The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each
issuing direct-IO. Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads
contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks.
I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I
think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be
that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases.
In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain.
The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte
with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to
get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work.
However this should not be the common case in most performance critical
code.

Introduce a new get_user_pages_fast mm API, which is basically a
get_user_pages with a less general API (but still tends to be suited to
the common case):
- task and mm are always current and current->mm
- force is always 0
- pages is always non-NULL
- don't pass back vmas
This restricted API can be implemented in a much more scalable way on many
architectures when the ptes are present, by walking the page tables
locklessly (no mmap_sem or page table locks). When the ptes are not
populated, get_user_pages_fast() could be slower.
This is implemented locklessly on x86, and used in some key direct IO call
sites, in later patches, which provides nearly 10% performance improvement
on a threaded database workload.
Lots of other code could use this too, depending on use cases (eg. grep
drivers/). And it might inspire some new and clever ways to use it.

Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files
can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and
used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed.
This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to
that of regular initcalls. Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls()
could be converted to use this cleaner interface.
This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register
notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay
interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec.
This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for
following:
- A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can kexec a
hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown
the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system
via ordinary kexec load then jump back.
- Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make system
snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot.
- Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch between
several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time.
This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in.
- A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning
off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux.
The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump:
- kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches
and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:
source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10
- makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it
can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The
patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the
following URL:
source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-src_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2

binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile_cvs_kh10
- An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced
kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded
from the following URL:
initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz
All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image.
Usage example of simple hibernation:
1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y

CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or
download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in
following text.
3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called
hibernating partition in following text.
4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A).
5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with
/sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow:
/sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000
--mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz
6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line:
/sbin/kexec -e
7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory
image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as
follow:
jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='`
echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry
cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf
Then you can shutdown the machine as normal.
8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as
root file system.
9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow:
/sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf
10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow:
/sbin/kexec -e
Then, kernel A is resumed.
Implementation point:
To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing)
the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices
are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is
saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new
kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The
devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to
implement corresponding function.
Known issues:
- Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited,
hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is
planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to
make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking.
Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the
following features:
- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
kexec.
- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.
The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.
kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:
source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10
Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:
1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.
3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"
4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.
5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
line can be as follow:
/sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode
6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:
/sbin/kexec -e
Implementation point:
To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.
C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.
A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.
Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

Some controllers (Jmicron, for instance) can report temporal failure
condition during power-on. It is desirable to account for this using a
return value of "set_param" device method. The return value can also be
handy to distinguish between supported and unsupported device parameters
in run time.

The calgary code can give drivers addresses above 4GB which is very bad
for hardware that is only 32bit DMA addressable.
With this patch, the calgary code sets the global dma_ops to swiotlb or
nommu properly, and the dma_ops of devices behind the Calgary/CalIOC2
to calgary_dma_ops. So the calgary code can handle devices safely that
aren't behind the Calgary/CalIOC2.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

This is a large patch but the normal code path is not affected. For
non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled
pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path. Devices that
do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch.
The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for
clarity.
Overview
Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions
to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of
partitions. The firmware will balance memory between the partitions
and page in/out memory as needed. Based on the number and type of IO
adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for
DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition;
this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'.
Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices
present. The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system.
Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus
code and exposed via sysfs. A set of dma_ops functions are added to
the bus to allow for this accounting.
Bus initialization
At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system
based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement
along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events.
If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted.
Device changes
The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the
devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and
must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained
IO memory. The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when
DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully.
Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always
be mapped. Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and
the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this. Devices can change their
desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs
(via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time.
VIO bus changes
The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which
it can provide memory to the devices. The bus defines two pools of memory
within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools. Each device is
provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum
entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's
desired entitlement. The entitlement provided to devices comes from the
reserve pool. The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as
large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device
hotplug events. Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a
reserve pool is placed in the excess pool. Each device is guaranteed
that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible
as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool.
Bus probe
As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only
to the system defined minimum entitlement. The reserve pool is equal
to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation. The VIO bus
also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices. If the
system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool,
when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation
will be scheduled for some time in the future.
Entitlement balancing
The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the
devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's
desired amount of entitlement. Devices using more than what would be
ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively
set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and
deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly
unmapped memory. A fair distribution of entitlement can take several
balance operations to achieve. Entitlement changes and device DLPAR
events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations.
Hotplug events
The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via
'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'. When devices are added the hotplug
device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this
is reversed when devices are removed.
The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO:
* add IO memory accounting per device structure.
* add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure.
* during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has
memory entitlement query function defined. Fail if function not defined.
* fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined.
* create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations
and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached. Entitlement will
limited by overall system entitlement. Devices will have a reserved
quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available.
* expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the
allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs
* provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time
for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable
* track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device.
* check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add
* track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage)
* provide function to reset high water mark
* provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level
* provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement
* balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs
* handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug

To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check
for failure from some of the tce hcalls.
These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture;
patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch.
pSeries platform IOMMU code changes:
* platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and
return an error.
Architecture IOMMU code changes:
* Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return
DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors.
Architecture changes:
* struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change
to indicate failure.
* all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new
calling semantics; they will return 0 on success. The other platforms
default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.

For Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), set the FW_FEATURE_CMO
flag in powerpc_firmware_features from the rtas ibm,get-system-parameters
table prior to calling iommu_init_early_pSeries.
With this, any CMO specific functionality can be controlled by checking:
firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_CMO)

This patch implements support for HW based watchpoint via the
DBSR_DAC (Data Address Compare) facility of the BookE processors.
It does so by interfacing with the existing DABR breakpoint code
and adding the necessary bits and pieces for the new bits to
be properly set or cleared

Some IBM POWER-based platforms have the ability to run in a
mode which mostly appears to the OS as a different processor from the
actual hardware. For example, a Power6 system may appear to be a
Power5+, which makes the AT_PLATFORM value "power5+". This means that
programs are restricted to the ISA supported by Power5+;
Power6-specific instructions are treated as illegal.
However, some applications (virtual machines, optimized libraries) can
benefit from knowledge of the underlying CPU model. A new aux vector
entry, AT_BASE_PLATFORM, will denote the actual hardware. For
example, on a Power6 system in Power5+ compatibility mode, AT_PLATFORM
will be "power5+" and AT_BASE_PLATFORM will be "power6". The idea is
that AT_PLATFORM indicates the instruction set supported, while
AT_BASE_PLATFORM indicates the underlying microarchitecture.
If the architecture has defined ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, copy that value to
the user stack in the same manner as ELF_PLATFORM.
