This reverts commit 7d252cd22a3f6cb459e8b012912dfd258157f7df because it
has been implicated in kernel crashes when its workqueue timer is
migrated during CPU hotplug.
When HMP was initially being developed against a 3.4 derived kernel, it
was observed that wakeups were occurring every 30s across every core to
give the vmstat accounting a kick. This was causing a noticeable
increase in energy consumption on the really quiet use cases such as
audio and video playback. So commit 7d252cd22a was used which turned off
the updates on idle CPUs to reduce that.
On the 3.10 derived LSK this revert does not result in a significant
increase in power consumption so it is assumed that changes since 3.4
have mitigated the initial problem.

System services are generally started by init, whilst kernel threads
are started by kthreadd. We do not want to give those tasks a head
start, as this costs power for very little benefit. We do however
wish to do that for tasks which the user launches.
Further, some tasks allocate per-cpu timers directly after launch
which can lead to those tasks being always scheduled on a big CPU
when there is no computational need to do so. Not promoting services
to big CPUs on launch will prevent that unless a service allocates
their per-cpu resources after a period of intense computation, which
is not a common pattern.

vmstat_update runs every second from the work queue to update statistics
and drain per cpu pages back into the global page allocator.
This is useful in most circumstances but is wasteful if the CPU doesn't
actually make any VM activity. This can happen in the situtation that
the CPU is idle or running a CPU bound long term task (e.g. CPU
isolation), in which case the periodic vmstate_update timer needlessly
itnerrupts the CPU.
This patch tries to make vmstat_update schedule itself for the next
round only if there was any work for it to do in the previous run.
The assumption is that if for a whole second we didn't see any VM
activity it is reasnoable to assume that the CPU is not using the
VM because it is idle or runs a long term single CPU bound task.
A new single unbound system work queue item is scheduled periodically
to monitor CPUs that have their vmstat_update work stopped and
re-schedule them if VM activity is detected.

Previously, an offline CPU would always appear to have a zero load
and this would distort the offload functionality used for balancing
big and little domains.
Maintain a mask of online CPUs in each domain and use this instead.

We need a way to prevent tasks that are migrating up and down the
hmp_domains from migrating straight on through before the load has
adapted to the new compute capacity of the CPU on the new hmp_domain.
This patch adds a next up/down migration delay that prevents the task
from doing another migration in the same direction until the delay
has expired.

This patch introduces the basic SCHED_HMP infrastructure. Each class of
cpus is represented by a hmp_domain and tasks will only be moved between
these domains when their load profiles suggest it is beneficial.
SCHED_HMP relies heavily on the task load-tracking introduced in Paul
Turners fair group scheduling patch set:
<https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/267>
SCHED_HMP requires that the platform implements arch_get_hmp_domains()
which should set up the platform specific list of hmp_domains. It is
also assumed that the platform disables SD_LOAD_BALANCE for the
appropriate sched_domains.
Tasks placement takes place every time a task is to be inserted into
a runqueue based on its load history. The task placement decision is
based on load thresholds.
There are no restrictions on the number of hmp_domains, however,
multiple (>2) has not been tested and the up/down migration policy is
rather simple.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Found via trinity:
If you connect up an ipv6 socket to an ipv4 mapped address then an
ipv6 one, sendmsg() can croak because ip6_sk_dst_check() assumes the
route cached in the socket is an ipv6 one. In this case there is an
ipv4 route attached, so it gets stomped on.
Reported by Dave Jones and Hannes Frederic Sowa, fixed by Eric
Dumazet.
2) AF_KEY notifications leak some kernel memory to userspace, fix from
Mathias Krause.
3) DLCI calls __dev_get_by_name() without proper locking, and dlci_del
doesn't validate that the device being deleted is actually a DLCI
one. Fixes from Li Zefan.
4) Length check on bluetooth l2cap information responses is wrong, each
response type has a different lenth, so we should make sure it's in
a given range rather than enforce one single valid length. From
Jaganath Kanakkassery.
5) Receive FIFO overflow is really easy to trigger in stress scenerios
in the sh_eth driver, but the event isn't being handled properly at
all. Specifically, the mask of error interrupts doesn't include the
event so we never clear it, resulting in the driver becomming wedged
processing an interrupt that never gets cleared.
Fix from Sergei Shtylyov.
6) qlcnic sleeps while holding a spinlock, use mdelay() instead of
msleep(). From Shahed Shaikh.
7) Missing curly braces causes SIP netfilter NAT module to always drop
packets. Fix from Balazs Peter Odor.
8) ipt_ULOG in netfilter passes the wrong value to timer setup, causing
the timer to dereference crap when it fires. Fix from Gao Feng.
9) Missing RCU protection around txq->axq_acq traversal in
ath_txq_schedule(). Fix from Felix Fietkau.
10) Idle state transition test in ath9k_htc_config() is reversed, fix
from Sujith Manoharan.
11) IPV6 forwarding handles unicast Router Alert packets incorrectly.
It tests the wrong option state. Previously opt->ra being non-zero
indicated a router alert marking in the SKB, but now it's indicated
by a bit in opt->flags. Fix from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.
12) SKB leak in GRE tunnel GSO handling, from Eric Dumazet.
13) get_user_pages_fast() error handling in TUN and MACVTAP use the same
local variable for the base index and the loop iterator for page
traversal, oops! Fix from Michael S Tsirkin.
14) ipv6_get_lladdr() can fail, and we must therefore check it's return
value in inet6_set_iftoken(). For from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
15) If you change an interface name and meanwhile can sneak in something
that looks up the name (like SO_BINDTODEVICE or SIOCGIFNAME) we can
deadlock with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. Fix this by providing a helper
function that properly uses raw_seqcount_begin(). From Nicolas
Schichan.
16) Chain noise calibration test is inverted in iwlwifi, fix from
Nikolay Martynov.
17) Properly set TX iwlwifi descriptor flags for back requests. Fix
from Emmanuel Grumbach.
18) We can't assume skb_transport_header() is set in xt_TCPOPTSTRAP
module, fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
19) Some crummy APs don't provide the proper High Throughput info in
association response frames. Add a workaround by assume we'll use
whatever is in the beacon/probe. Fix from Johannes Berg.
20) mac80211 call to rate_idx_match_mask() swaps two arguments (mask and
channel width). Fix from Simon Wunderlich.
21) xt_TCPMSS (like xt_TCPOPTSTRAP) must not try to handle fragmented
frames. Fix from Phil Oester.
22) Fix rate control regression causing iwlwifi/iwlegacy chips to use
1Mbit/s on pre-11n networks. From Moshe Benji and Stanslaw Gruszka.
23) Disable brcmsmac power-save functions, they cause regressions. From
Arend van Spriel.
24) Enforce a sane minimum MTU in l2cap_build_cmd() otherwise we can
easily crash. Fix from Anderson Lizardo.
25) If a learning packet arrives during vxlan_stop() we crash, easily
fixed by checking netif_running(). From Stephen Hemminger.
26) Static vxlan FDB entries should not be migrated, also from Stephen.
27) skb_clone() failures not handled in vxlan_xmit(), oops. Also from
Stephen.
28) Add minimal driver for AR816x/AR817x ethernet chips, from Johannes
Berg.
29) Fix regression in userspace VLAN acceleration control, added by the
802.1ad support changes. Fix from Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao.
30) Interval selection for MLD queries in the bridging code was
reversed. Fix from Linus Lüssing.
31) ipv6's ndisc_send_redirect() erroneously writes to the packet we
received not the packet we are building to send out. Fix from
Matthias Schiffer.
32) Don't free netdev before unregistering it, in usb_8dev can driver.
From Marc Kleine-Budde.
33) Fix nl80211 attribute buffer races, from Johannes Berg.
34) Although netlink_diag.h is under uapi/ it isn't present in Kbuild.

35) Wrong address and family passed to MD5 key lookups in TCP, from
Aydin Arik.
36) phy_type attribute created by SFC driver should not be writable.

ipv6's init_loopback(). From Gao Feng.

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.
The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.
The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.

------------[ cut here ]------------
What happened was that the function tracer traced the schedule_user() code
that tells RCU that the system is coming back from userspace, and to
add the CPU back to the RCU monitoring.
Because the function tracer does a preempt_disable/enable_notrace() calls
the preempt_enable_notrace() checks the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it is set,
then preempt_schedule() is called. But this is called before the user_exit()
function can inform the kernel that the CPU is no longer in user mode and
needs to be accounted for by RCU.
The fix is to create a new preempt_schedule_context() that checks if
the kernel is still in user mode and if so to switch it to kernel mode
before calling schedule. It also switches back to user mode coming back
from schedule in need be.
The only user of this currently is the preempt_enable_notrace(), which is
only used by the tracing subsystem.

Thanks to commit f91eb62f71b3 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts
are enabled too early"), "bloody murder" is now being screamed.
With a MIPS OCTEON config, we use on_each_cpu() in our
irq_chip.irq_bus_sync_unlock() function. This gets called in early as a
result of the time_init() call. Because the !SMP version of
on_each_cpu() unconditionally enables irqs, we get:
WARNING: at init/main.c:560 start_kernel+0x250/0x410()
Interrupts were enabled early
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.10.0-rc5-Cavium-Octeon+ #801

warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xb0

Suggested fix: Do what we already do in the SMP version of
on_each_cpu(), and use local_irq_save/local_irq_restore. Because we
need a flags variable, make it a static inline to avoid name space
issues.
[ Change from v1: Convert on_each_cpu to a static inline function, add
#include <linux/irqflags.h> to avoid build breakage on some files.
on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond() suffer the same problem as
on_each_cpu(), but they are not causing !SMP bugs for me, so I will
defer changing them to a less urgent patch. ]

Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney:
"I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing.
This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions:
1. A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an
interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle.
This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle()
tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well
as from idle. Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints
from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously)
confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not.
This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and
therefore random memory corruption.
2. A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing
a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks.
Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really
does happen. The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses
irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock.
3. A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the
interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU
hotplug operations. This will not occur in production kernels,
but really does occur in randconfig testing. Diagnosis courtesy
of Steven Rostedt"

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try
to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally
experience long delay or soft lockup.
This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces
migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

The dmesg_restrict sysctl currently covers the syslog method for access
dmesg, however /dev/kmsg isn't covered by the same protections. Most
people haven't noticed because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the
syslog method for access in older versions. With util-linux dmesg(1)
defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
To fix /dev/kmsg, let's compare the existing interfaces and what they
allow:
- /proc/kmsg allows:
- open (SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN) if CAP_SYSLOG since it uses a destructive
single-reader interface (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ).
- everything, after an open.
- syslog syscall allows:
- anything, if CAP_SYSLOG.
- SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL and SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER, if
dmesg_restrict==0.
- nothing else (EPERM).
The use-cases were:
- dmesg(1) needs to do non-destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALLs.
- sysklog(1) needs to open /proc/kmsg, drop privs, and still issue the
destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READs.
AIUI, dmesg(1) is moving to /dev/kmsg, and systemd-journald doesn't
clear the ring buffer.
Based on the comments in devkmsg_llseek, it sounds like actions besides
reading aren't going to be supported by /dev/kmsg (i.e.
SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR), so we have a strict subset of the non-destructive
syslog syscall actions.
To this end, move the check as Josh had done, but also rename the
constants to reflect their new uses (SYSLOG_FROM_CALL becomes
SYSLOG_FROM_READER, and SYSLOG_FROM_FILE becomes SYSLOG_FROM_PROC).
SYSLOG_FROM_READER allows non-destructive actions, and SYSLOG_FROM_PROC
allows destructive actions after a capabilities-constrained
SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN check.
- /dev/kmsg allows:
- open if CAP_SYSLOG or dmesg_restrict==0
- reading/polling, after open

__DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() currently creates an _rcuidle() tracepoint which
may safely be invoked from what RCU considers to be an idle CPU.
However, these _rcuidle() tracepoints may -not- be invoked from the
handler of an irq taken from idle, because rcu_idle_enter() zeroes
RCU's nesting-level counter, so that the rcu_irq_exit() returning to
idle will trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE().
This commit therefore substitutes rcu_irq_enter() for rcu_idle_exit()
and rcu_irq_exit() for rcu_idle_enter() in order to make the _rcuidle()
tracepoints usable from irq handlers as well as from process context.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This contains 4 fixes.
The first two fix the case where full RCU debugging is enabled,
enabling function tracing causes a live lock of the system. This is
due to the added debug checks in rcu_dereference_raw() that is used by
the function tracer. These checks are also traced by the function
tracer as well as cause enough overhead to the function tracer to slow
down the system enough that the time to finish an interrupt can take
longer than when the next interrupt is triggered, causing a live lock
from the timer interrupt.
Talking this over with Paul McKenney, we came up with a fix that adds
a new rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() that does not perform these added
checks, and let the function tracer use that.
The third commit fixes a failed compile when branch tracing is
enabled, due to the conversion of the trace_test_buffer() selftest
that the branch trace wasn't converted for.
The forth patch fixes a bug caught by the RCU lockdep code where a
rcu_read_lock() is performed when rcu is disabled (either going to or
from idle, or user space). This happened on the irqsoff tracer as it
calls task_uid(). The fix here was to use current_uid() when possible
that doesn't use rcu locking. Which luckily, is always used when
irqsoff calls this code."

Roman Gushchin discovered that udp4_lib_lookup2() was not reloading
first item in the rcu protected list, in case the loop was restarted.
This produced soft lockups as in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/16/37
rcu_dereference(X)/ACCESS_ONCE(X) seem to not work as intended if X is
ptr->field :
In some cases, gcc caches the value or ptr->field in a register.
Use a barrier() to disallow such caching, as documented in
Documentation/atomic_ops.txt line 114

The kvm_host.h header file doesn't handle well
inclusion when archs don't support KVM.
This results in build crashes for such archs when they
want to implement context tracking because this subsystem
includes kvm_host.h in order to implement the
guest_enter/exit APIs but it doesn't handle KVM off case.
To fix this, move the guest_enter()/guest_exit()
declarations and generic implementation to the context
tracking headers. These generic APIs actually belong to
this subsystem, besides other domains boundary tracking
like user_enter() et al.
KVM now properly becomes a user of this library, not the
other buggy way around.

While computing the cputime delta of dynticks CPUs,
we are mixing up clocks of differents natures:
* local_clock() which takes care of unstable clock
sources and fix these if needed.
* sched_clock() which is the weaker version of
local_clock(). It doesn't compute any fixup in case
of unstable source.
If the clock source is stable, those two clocks are the
same and we can safely compute the difference against
two random points.
Otherwise it results in random deltas as sched_clock()
can randomly drift away, back or forward, from local_clock().
As a consequence, some strange behaviour with unstable tsc
has been observed such as non progressing constant zero cputime.
(The 'top' command showing no load).
Fix this by only using local_clock(), or its irq safe/remote
equivalent, in vtime code.

they are:
* fix xt_addrtype with IPv6, from Florian Westphal. This required
a new hook for IPv6 functions in the netfilter core to avoid
hard dependencies with the ipv6 subsystem when this match is
only used for IPv4.
* fix connection reuse case in IPVS. Currently, if an reused
connection are directed to the same server. If that server is
down, those connection would fail. Therefore, clear the
connection and choose a new server among the available ones.
* fix possible non-nul terminated string sent to user-space if

The following warning was seen on 3.9 when a corrected PCIe error was being
handled by the AER subsystem.
WARNING: at .../drivers/pci/search.c:214 pci_get_dev_by_id+0x8a/0x90()
This occurred because a call to pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() was added to
cper_print_pcie() to setup for the call to cper_print_aer(). The warning
showed up because cper_print_pcie() is called in an interrupt context and
pci_get* functions are not supposed to be called in that context.
The solution is to move the cper_print_aer() call out of the interrupt
context and into aer_recover_work_func() to avoid any warnings when calling
pci_get* functions.

hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
As rcu_dereference_raw() under RCU debug config options can add quite a
bit of checks, and that tracing uses rcu_dereference_raw(), these checks
happen with the function tracer. The function tracer also happens to trace
these debug checks too. This added overhead can livelock the system.
Add a new interface to RCU for both rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() as well
as hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_notrace() as the hlist iterator uses the
rcu_dereference_raw() as well, and is used a bit with the function tracer.

Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity
fuzzer.
Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap():
- it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting.
- it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap().
We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't
think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear
about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to
work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work.
Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example
prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of
perf_event_set_output().
This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with
one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per
event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own
accounting.

Fix kernel-doc warning in <linux/kernel.h>:
Warning(include/linux/kernel.h:590): No description found for parameter 'ip'
scripts/kernel-doc cannot handle macros, functions, or function
prototypes between the function or macro that is being documented and
its definition, so move these prototypes above the function that is
being documented.

Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses. However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed. If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.
Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true. This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").
Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915. One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics. I very much like this."
