sched/headers: Prepare to move cputime functionality from into

2017-03-02T07:42:39+00:00

Introduce a trivial, mostly empty  header
to prepare for the moving of cputime functionality out of sched.h.

Update all code that relies on these facilities.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

s390, sched/cputime: Make arch_cpu_idle_time() to return nsecs

2017-02-01T08:14:03+00:00

This way we don't need to deal with cputime_t details from the core code.

sched/cputime: Convert kcpustat to nsecs

2017-02-01T08:13:47+00:00

Kernel CPU stats are stored in cputime_t which is an architecture
defined type, and hence a bit opaque and requiring accessors and mutators
for any operation.

Converting them to nsecs simplifies the code and is one step toward
the removal of cputime_t in the core code.

seq/proc: modify seq_put_decimal_[u]ll to take a const char *, not char

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

Allow some seq_puts removals by taking a string instead of a single
char.

procfs: avoid 32-bit time_t in /proc/*/stat

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

/proc/stat shows (among lots of other things) the current boottime (i.e.
number of seconds since boot).  While a 32-bit number is sufficient for
this particular case, we want to get rid of the 'struct timespec'
suffers from a 32-bit overflow in 2038.

This changes the code to use a struct timespec64, which is known to be
safe in all cases.

genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptors

2014-12-13T12:33:07+00:00

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the
unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc
interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt
descriptor.

CPU0				CPU1
				show_interrupts()
				  desc = irq_to_desc(X);
free_desc(desc)
  remove_from_radix_tree();
  kfree(desc);
				  raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock);

/proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt
kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed
memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible.

The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the
removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent
readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed.

For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue
as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq
descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see
the old correct value or the cleared out ones.

Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in
show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock.

Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access
with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it.

Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the
caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these
interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already
protected against removal.

/proc/stat: convert to single_open_size()

2014-07-03T16:21:54+00:00

These two patches are supposed to "fix" failed order-4 memory
allocations which have been observed when reading /proc/stat.  The
problem has been observed on s390 as well as on x86.

To address the problem change the seq_file memory allocations to
fallback to use vmalloc, so that allocations also work if memory is
fragmented.

This approach seems to be simpler and less intrusive than changing
/proc/stat to use an interator.  Also it "fixes" other users as well,
which use seq_file's single_open() interface.

This patch (of 2):

Use seq_file's single_open_size() to preallocate a buffer that is large
enough to hold the whole output, instead of open coding it.  Also
calculate the requested size using the number of online cpus instead of
possible cpus, since the size of the output only depends on the number
of online cpus.

cputime: Default implementation of nsecs -> cputime conversion

2014-03-13T14:56:43+00:00

The architectures that override cputime_t (s390, ppc) don't provide
any version of nsecs_to_cputime(). Indeed this cputime_t implementation
by backend only happens when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y under
which the core code doesn't make any use of nsecs_to_cputime().

At least for now.

We are going to make a broader use of it so lets provide a default
version with a per usecs granularity. It should be good enough for most
usecases.

fs/proc: don't use module_init for non-modular core code

2014-01-24T00:37:02+00:00

PROC_FS is a bool, so this code is either present or absent.  It will
never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is
rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to
obviously non-modular code, and that would be ugly at best.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change these registrations from level 6-device to level 5-fs
(i.e.  slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that small
difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the
registration of vmcore_init as an initcall.
