numa: add generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation

Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new
generic percpu variable infrastructure.

Guard the new implementation with a new config option:

        CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID.

Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y'
when NUMA is configured.  This config option could be removed if/when all
archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id().
Arch support involves:

  1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use
     this implementation.  x86_64 is an instance of such an arch.
  2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will
     need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus
     are brought on-line.  ia64 is an example.
  3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g.,
     when NUMA is configured.  This is required because I have
     retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to
     be modified incrementally, as desired.

Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.

Documentation/filesystems/Locking: update documentation on llseek() wrt BKL

The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock.  Therefore it
does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek
operations.  Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use
i_size_read() instead.  Add a note that this is not protecting
file->f_pos.

fs/: do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKL

Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.

Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well

Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek().  This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets.  Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).

panic: call console_verbose() in panic

Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace

this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called
console_verbose.  There are however a lot of places we call panic

clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a

lib/random32: export pseudo-random number generator for modules

This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h.  It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.

prandom32() is useful as a privately-seeded pseudo random number generator
that can give the same result every time it is initialized.

For FCoE FC-BB-6 VN2VN mode self-selected unique FC address generation, we
need an pseudo-random number generator seeded with the 64-bit world-wide
port name.  A truly random generator or one seeded with randomness won't
do because the same sequence of numbers should be generated each time we
boot or the link comes up.

A prandom32_seed() inline function is added to the header file.  It is
inlined not for speed, but so the function won't be expanded in the base
kernel, but only in the module that uses it.

pids: fix fork_idle() to setup ->pids correctly

copy_process(pid => &init_struct_pid) doesn't do attach_pid/etc.

It shouldn't, but this means that the idle threads run with the wrong
pids copied from the caller's task_struct. In x86 case the caller is
either kernel_init() thread or keventd.

In particular, this means that after the series of cpu_up/cpu_down an
idle thread (which never exits) can run with .pid pointing to nowhere.

Change fork_idle() to initialize idle->pids[] correctly. We only set
.pid = &init_struct_pid but do not add .node to list, INIT_TASK() does
the same for the boot-cpu idle thread (swapper).

pids: init_struct_pid.tasks should never see the swapper process

"statically initialize struct pid for swapper" commit 820e45db says:

Statically initialize a struct pid for the swapper process (pid_t == 0)
and attach it to init_task.  This is needed so task_pid(), task_pgrp()
and task_session() interfaces work on the swapper process also.

OK, but:

- it doesn't make sense to add init_task.pids[].node into
  init_struct_pid.tasks[], and in fact this just wrong.

  idle threads are special, they shouldn't be visible on any
  global list. In particular do_each_pid_task(init_struct_pid)
  shouldn't see swapper.

  This is the actual reason why kill(0, SIGKILL) from /sbin/init
  (which starts with 0,0 special pids) crashes the kernel. The
  signal sent to pgid/sid == 0 must never see idle threads, even
  if the previous patch fixed the crash itself.

- we have other idle threads running on the non-boot CPUs, see
  the next patch.

Change INIT_STRUCT_PID/INIT_PID_LINK to create the empty/unhashed
hlist_head/hlist_node. Like any other idle thread swapper can never exit,
so detach_pid()->__hlist_del() is not possible, but we could change
INIT_PID_LINK() to set pprev = &next if needed.

All we need is the valid swapper->pids[].pid == &init_struct_pid.

INIT_TASK() should initialize ->thread_group list

The trivial /sbin/init doing

int main(void)
{
kill(0, SIGKILL)
}

crashes the kernel.

This happens because __kill_pgrp_info(init_struct_pid) also sends SIGKILL
to the swapper process which runs with the uninitialized ->thread_group.

Change INIT_TASK() to initialize ->thread_group properly.

Note: the real problem is that the swapper process must not be visible to
signals, see the next patch. But this change is right anyway and fixes
the crash.

pids: increase pid_max based on num_possible_cpus

On a system with a substantial number of processors, the early default
pid_max of 32k will not be enough.  A system with 1664 CPU's, there are
25163 processes started before the login prompt.  It's estimated that with
2048 CPU's we will pass the 32k limit.  With 4096, we'll reach that limit
very early during the boot cycle, and processes would stall waiting for an
available pid.

This patch increases the early maximum number of pids available, and
increases the minimum number of pids that can be set during runtime.

ipc/sem.c: update description of the implementation

ipc/sem.c begins with a 15 year old description about bugs in the initial
implementation in Linux-1.0.  The patch replaces that with a top level
description of the current code.

A TODO could be derived from this text:

The opengroup man page for semop() does not mandate FIFO.  Thus there is
no need for a semaphore array list of pending operations.

If

- this list is removed
- the per-semaphore array spinlock is removed (possible if there is no
  list to protect)
- sem_otime is moved into the semaphores and calculated on demand during
  semctl()

then the array would be read-mostly - which would significantly improve
scaling for applications that use semaphore arrays with lots of entries.

The price would be expensive semctl() calls:

for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_lock(sma->sem_lock);
<do stuff>
for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_unlock(sma->sem_lock);

I'm not sure if the complexity is worth the effort, thus here is the
documentation of the current behavior first.

ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section

The wake-up part of semtimedop() consists out of two steps:

- the right tasks must be identified.
- they must be woken up.

Right now, both steps run while the array spinlock is held.  This patch
reorders the code and moves the actual wake_up_process() behind the point
where the spinlock is dropped.

The code also moves setting sem->sem_otime to one place: It does not make
sense to set the last modify time multiple times.

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls

The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention
reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current
code:

- In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2).
  Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case.  The patch series fix
  that.

  Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should
  be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than
  perfect FIFO.

- The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is
  significantly larger than necessary.

  The patch series fixes that.  This change is responsible for the main
  improvement.

- The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is
  read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily
  written to multiple times (sem_otime).  The last step of the series
  cacheline-aligns the spinlock.

This patch:

The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all
semaphores in the array as atomic operations.  After a modification,
update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete.

The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst
case.  For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2).

The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case
of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a
multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks.

A big database application uses that approach.

The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of
the patch breaks that.

idr: fix backtrack logic in idr_remove_all

Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if
idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items
more than 1024.  This is due to stepping back too many levels during
backtracking.  For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2
nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs.
 (In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root
level and 32 IDs in each leaf node).  The sequence of freeing the nodes at
the moment is as follows:

layer
1 ->                       a(7)
2 ->            b(3)                  c(5)
3 ->        d(1)   e(2)           f(4)    g(6)

Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g
should be freed first.  Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll
have a use after free error at step 6.

How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently
determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting:

Step
1.          node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2.
            msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back
            1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e.
2-3.        node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2.
            This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing
            node b on the way.
4-5.        node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still
            bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node
            a and free c on the way.
6.          We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as
            node c was freed.

The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back.
Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should
really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position
corresponding to a given layer.  In the above example overflow from bit 0
to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level.  Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2
should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on.

The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers
on 32 bit systems.

notifier: change notifier_from_errno(0) to return NOTIFY_OK

This changes notifier_from_errno(0) to be NOTIFY_OK instead of
NOTIFY_STOP_MASK | NOTIFY_OK.

Currently, the notifiers which return encapsulated errno value have to
do something like this:

err = do_something(); // returns -errno
if (err)
return notifier_from_errno(err);
else
return NOTIFY_OK;

This change makes the above code simple:

err = do_something(); // returns -errno

return return notifier_from_errno(err);

cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure

Currently, onlining or offlining a CPU failure by one of the cpu notifiers
error always cause -EINVAL error.  (i.e.  writing 0 or 1 to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online gets EINVAL)

To get better error reporting rather than always getting -EINVAL, This
changes cpu_notify() to return -errno value with notifier_to_errno() and
fix the callers.  Now that cpu notifiers can return encapsulate errno
value.

Currently, all cpu hotplug notifiers return NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, or
NOTIFY_DONE.  So cpu_notify() can returns 0 or -EPERM with this change for
now.

(notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_OK) == 0, notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_DONE) == 0,
notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_BAD) == -EPERM)

Forthcoming patches convert several cpu notifiers to return encapsulate
errno value with notifier_from_errno().

kcore: add _text to KCORE_TEXT

Extend KCORE_TEXT to cover the pages between _text and _stext, to allow
examining some important page table pages.

`readelf -a` output on x86_64 before and after patch:
  Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
before    LOAD           0x00007fff8100c000 0xffffffff81009000 0x0000000000000000
after     LOAD           0x00007fff81003000 0xffffffff81000000 0x0000000000000000

The newly covered pages are:

0xffffffff81000000 <startup_64> etc.
0xffffffff81001000 <init_level4_pgt>
0xffffffff81002000 <level3_ident_pgt>
0xffffffff81003000 <level3_kernel_pgt>
0xffffffff81004000 <level2_fixmap_pgt>
0xffffffff81005000 <level1_fixmap_pgt>
0xffffffff81006000 <level2_ident_pgt>
0xffffffff81007000 <level2_kernel_pgt>
0xffffffff81008000 <level2_spare_pgt>

Before patch, /proc/kcore shows outdated contents for the above page
table pages, for example:

(gdb) p level3_ident_pgt
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0xffffffff81002000 <level3_ident_pgt>
(gdb) p/x *((pud_t *)&level3_ident_pgt)@512
$2 = {{pud = 0x1006063}, {pud = 0x0} <repeats 511 times>}

while the real content is:

root@hp /home/wfg# hexdump -s 0x1002000 -n 4096 /dev/mem
1002000 6063 0100 0000 0000 8067 0000 0000 0000
1002010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
1003000

That is, on a x86_64 box with 2GB memory, we can see first-1GB / full-2GB
identity mapping before/after patch:

(gdb) p/x *((pud_t *)&level3_ident_pgt)@512
before  $1 = {{pud = 0x1006063}, {pud = 0x0} <repeats 511 times>}
after   $1 = {{pud = 0x1006063}, {pud = 0x8067}, {pud = 0x0} <repeats 510 times>}

Obviously the content before patch is wrong.
