Then stop going further if autogroup is disabled. But there will be a race window between 1 and 2, in which sysctl_sched_autogroup_enabled is enabled. This issue will be toke by following patch.

* sched: Fix the group_imb logicPeter Zijlstra2011-02-231-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 2*6*2 machine something like: taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done' _should_ result in 9 busy CPUs, each running 1 task. However it didn't quite work reliably, most of the time one cpu of the second socket (6-11) would be idle and one cpu of the first socket (0-5) would have two tasks on it. The group_imb logic is supposed to deal with this and detect when a particular group is imbalanced (like in our case, 0-2 are idle but 3-5 will have 4 tasks on it). The detection phase needed a bit of a tweak as it was too weak and required more than 2 avg weight tasks difference between idle and busy cpus in the group which won't trigger for our test-case. So cure that to be one or more avg task weight difference between cpus. Once the detection phase worked, it was then defeated by the f_b_g() tests trying to avoid ping-pongs. In particular, this_load >= max_load triggered because the pulling cpu (the (first) idle cpu in on the second socket, say 6) would find this_load to be 5 and max_load to be 4 (there'd be 5 tasks running on our socket and only 4 on the other socket).

As per the discussion in the thread here: lkml - sched: Resolve sd_idle and first_idle_cpu Catch-22 - v1 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/532501/ The capacity based logic in the load balancer right now handles this in a much cleaner way, handling more than 2 SMT siblings etc, and sd_idle does not seem to bring any additional benefits. sd_idle logic also has some bugs that has performance impact. Here is the patch that removes the sd_idle logic altogether. Also, there was a dependency of sched_mc_power_savings == 2, with sd_idle logic.

IOW, the tracee could be running or sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be dangerous. The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state. This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

Re-instate CAP_SYS_ADMIN - but keeping the warning - as an acceptable capability until any legacy applications have been updated. There are apparently applications out there that drop all capabilities except for CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to access the syslog.

Cure this by using _local_bh_enable() which doesn't start processing softirqs, and use raw_local_irq_save() to avoid any softirqs from happening without letting lockdep think IRQs are in fact disabled.

On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall data is processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up. Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

As hrtimers are initialized only at boot it's not possible to enable watchdog later - for me all watchdog threads started to eat 100% of CPU time, but they could just crash. Additionally, even if these threads would start properly, watchdog_disable_all_cpus was guarded by no_watchdog check, so you couldn't disable watchdog. To fix this, remove no_watchdog variable and use already existing watchdog_enabled variable.

Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the target being selected. We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair share of CPU time. This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really mean it. Calling it too often can result in the scheduler just ignoring the hint.
