      cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map · 98a79d6a
      Rusty Russell authored 
      

Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

      [S390] No more 4kb stacks. · 7f5a8ba6
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      

We got a stack overflow with a small stack configuration on a 32 bit
system. It just looks like as 4kb isn't enough and too dangerous.
So lets get rid of 4kb stacks on 32 bit.

But one thing I completely dislike about the call trace below is that
just for debugging or tracing purposes sprintf gets called (cio_start_key):

	/* process condition code */
	sprintf(dbf_txt, "ccode:%d", ccode);
	CIO_TRACE_EVENT(4, dbf_txt);

But maybe its just me who thinks that this could be done better.

      [S390] Change default IPL method to IPL_VM. · 46e7951f
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      

allyesconfig and allmodconfig built kernels have a tape IPL record.
A the vmreader record makes much more sense, since hardly anybody will
ever IPL a kernel from tape. So change the default.
As I side effect I can test these kernels without fiddling around with
the kernel config ;)

      container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem · dc52ddc0
      Matt Helsley authored 
      

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* Examples of usage :

   # mkdir /containers/freezer
   # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
   # mkdir /containers/0
   # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

to get status of the freezer subsystem :

   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

to freeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FREEZING
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FROZEN

to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

      [S390] Increase default warning stacksize. · c5a37255
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      

Compiling a kernel with allmodconfig or allyesconfig results in tons
of gcc warnings, because the default maximum stacksize from which on
gcc will emit a warning is just 256 bytes.
Increase this to 2048, so these warnings don't distract from the real
warnings that we need to watch at.

After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the
implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel
configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this
place.

Move the instrumentation Kconfig to

arch/Kconfig for architecture dependent options
  - oprofile
  - kprobes

and

init/Kconfig for architecture independent options
  - profiling
  - markers

Remove the "Instrumentation Support" menu. Everything moves to "General setup".
Delete the kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation file.

      Add HAVE_KPROBES · 3f550096
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored 
      

Linus:

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

- Use HAVE_KPROBES
- Use a select

- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.

- Update ARM for kprobes support.
