perf: Fix event group context move

2013-02-03T11:01:29Z

When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context. The move is done for each event by removing it from its context and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at this stage of creating groups. The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw context. This fix resulted from the following discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1144 Reported-by: Andreas Hollmann Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Vince Weaver Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359714225-4231-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Revert "console: implement lockdep support for console_lock"

2013-01-31T04:46:56Z

This reverts commit daee779718a319ff9f83e1ba3339334ac650bb22. I'll requeue this after the console locking fixes, so lockdep is useful again for people until fbcon is fixed. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie

smp: Fix SMP function call empty cpu mask race

2013-01-28T10:21:57Z

I get the following warning every day with v3.7, once or twice a day: [ 2235.186027] WARNING: at /mnt/sda7/kernel/linux/arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:109 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x2f/0xb8() As explained by Linus as well: | | Once we've done the "list_add_rcu()" to add it to the | queue, we can have (another) IPI to the target CPU that can | now see it and clear the mask. | | So by the time we get to actually send the IPI, the mask might | have been cleared by another IPI. | This patch also fixes a system hang problem, if the data->cpumask gets cleared after passing this point: if (WARN_ONCE(!mask, "empty IPI mask")) return; then the problem in commit 83d349f35e1a ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's") will happen again.

sched/debug: Fix format string for 32-bit platforms

2013-01-25T14:23:15Z

The type returned from atomic64_t can be either unsigned long or unsigned long long, depending on the architecture. Using a cast to unsigned long long lets us use the same format string for all architectures. Without this patch, building with scheduler debugging enabled results in: kernel/sched/debug.c: In function 'print_cfs_rq': kernel/sched/debug.c:225:2: warning: format '%ld' expects argument of type 'long int', but argument 4 has type 'long long int' [-Wformat] kernel/sched/debug.c:225:2: warning: format '%ld' expects argument of type 'long int', but argument 3 has type 'long long int' [-Wformat] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Turner Cc: linux-arm-kernel@list.infradead.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359123276-15833-7-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched: Fix warning in kernel/sched/fair.c

2013-01-25T14:23:14Z

a4c96ae319 "sched: Unthrottle rt runqueues in __disable_runtime()" turned the unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs function into a static symbol, which now triggers a warning about it being potentially unused: kernel/sched/fair.c:2055:13: warning: 'unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] Marking it __maybe_unused shuts up the gcc warning and lets the compiler safely drop the function body when it's not being used. To reproduce, build the ARM bcm2835_defconfig.
