| * stop_machine(): stop_machine_run() changed to use cpu maskRusty Russell2008-07-282-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of a "cpu" arg with magic values NR_CPUS (any cpu) and ~0 (all cpus), pass a cpumask_t. Allow NULL for the common case (where we don't care which CPU the function is run on): temporary cpumask_t's are usually considered bad for stack space. This deprecates stop_machine_run, to be removed soon when all the callers are dead. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
| * Hotplug CPU: don't check cpu_online after take_cpu_downRusty Russell2008-07-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Akinobu points out that if take_cpu_down() succeeds, the cpu must be offline. Remove the cpu_online() check, and put a BUG_ON(). Quoting Akinobu Mita: Actually the cpu_online() check was necessary before appling this stop_machine: simplify patch. With old __stop_machine_run(), __stop_machine_run() could succeed (return !IS_ERR(p) value) even if take_cpu_down() returned non-zero value. The return value of take_cpu_down() was obtained through kthread_stop().. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: "Akinobu Mita" <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>
| * Simplify stop_machineRusty Russell2008-07-282-178/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stop_machine creates a kthread which creates kernel threads. We can create those threads directly and simplify things a little. Some care must be taken with CPU hotunplug, which has special needs, but that code seems more robust than it was in the past.

Calling stop_machine_run() with a 'ALL_CPUS' invokes this new behavior. stop_machine_run() proceeds as normal until the calling cpu has invoked 'fn'. Then, we tell all the other cpus to call 'fn'.

* [PATCH] sysctl: keep track of tree relationshipsAl Viro2008-07-261-0/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a sense, that's the heart of the series. It's based on the following property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely new. IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also introduced by it. That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union; while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover the node by its crown. And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys in the next patches. This patch introduces the data structures needed to keep track of that. When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one. Which is to say, find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the tables from our table set or its ancestor sets. That table will be our parent and that node in it - attachment point. Add our table to list anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment point. Also remember where its crown lives. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] allow delayed freeing of ctl_table_headerAl Viro2008-07-261-1/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero. Make sure that we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering(). That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its freeing and reuse. It does *not* block unregistration. Anybody who holds such a reference can * try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet. If it succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use" reference (with ctl_head_finish()). Note that this relies on having ->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister the sucker. * keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if the entire thing is unregistered. However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds, we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely. IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access to ctl_table. That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] beginning of sysctl cleanup - ctl_table_setAl Viro2008-07-261-10/+31

Current lists of tables are subsumed by that; net-ns contains such a beast. ->lookup() for ctl_table_root returns pointer to ctl_table_set instead of that to ->list of that ctl_table_set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the ptrace logic in task death (exit_notify) into tracehook.h inlines. Some code is rearranged slightly to make things nicer. There is no change, only cleanup. There is one hook called with the tasklist_lock write-locked, as ptrace needs. There is also a new hook called after exit_state changes and without locks. This is a better place for tracing work to be in the future, since it doesn't delay the whole system with locking.

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 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 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-patches_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_PM=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.

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.
