591d2fb02e genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread
irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
nicely.

Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

6301cb95c1 sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks really
commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke
the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task
is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags &
PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So
while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement
nr_uninterruptible on thaw.

Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set
it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and
clear it after we return from frozen state.

a468d38934 sched: fix load average accounting vs. cpu hotplug
The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on
CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a
scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of
the time we offlined the CPU.

Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead. 

Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online
CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the
stale update time value.

04aef32d39 tracing/function: Fix the return value of ftrace_trace_onoff_callback()
ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:

 # echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####
 _spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
 _spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock:traceon:count=10

We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.

This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.

If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.

So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

that it's mapped.

d07387b490 sched: Fix bug in SCHED_IDLE interaction with group scheduling
One of the isolation modifications for SCHED_IDLE is the
unitization of sleeper credit.  However the check for this
assumes that the sched_entity we're placing always belongs to a
task.

This is potentially not true with group scheduling and leaves
us rummaging randomly when we try to pull the policy.

6ff7041dbf hrtimer: Fix migration expiry check
The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
code implementing that check has two flaws:

- for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
  events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
  timers.

- the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
  but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
  nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.

The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.

In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.

Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.

7e0c5086c1 hrtimer: migration: do not check expiry time on current CPU
The timer migration code needs to check whether the expiry time of the
timer is before the programmed clock event expiry time when the timer
is enqueued on another CPU because we can not reprogram the timer
device on the other CPU. The current logic checks the expiry time even
if we enqueue on the current CPU when nohz_get_load_balancer() returns
current CPU. This might lead to an endless loop in the expiry check
code when the expiry time of the timer is before the current
programmed next event.

Check whether nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU and skip
the expiry check if this is the case.

The bug was triggered from the networking code. The patch fixes the
regression http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13738

Also, make sure we only count tasks, not groups (this is probably

We will lose something if trace_seq->buffer[0] is 0, because the copy length

There have a example:
after reboot:

 # echo kmemtrace > current_tracer
 # echo 0 > options/kmem_minimalistic
 # cat trace
 # tracer: kmemtrace
 #
 #

Nothing is exported, because the first byte of trace_seq->buffer[ ]
is KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC.

( the value of KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC is zero, seeing
  kmemtrace_print_alloc_user() in kernel/trace/kmemtrace.c)

df279ca896 bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on()
The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can
be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release
acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt).

Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.

57e7986ed1 perf_counter: Provide a way to enable counters on exec
This provides a way to mark a counter to be enabled on the next
exec. This is useful for measuring the total activity of a
program without including overhead from the process that
launches it.

This also changes the perf stat command to use this new
facility.

a32c7765e2 tracing: Fix stack tracer sysctl handling
This made my machine completely frozen:

  # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
  # echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled

The cause is register_ftrace_function() was called twice.

Also fix ftrace_enabled sysctl, though seems nothing bad happened
as I tested it.

5211a242d0 x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI error
This patch introduces a new sysctl:

    /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi

which defaults to 0 (off).

When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.

The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.

This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

[ SuSE has been shipping it for a while, it was done at the
  request of a large database vendor, for their users. ]

e6e18ec79b perf_counter: Rework the sample ABI
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.

Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.

This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.
