commit 283cb41f426b723a0255702b761b0fc5d1b53a81 upstream.
The cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level can control how far we do
immediate load balancing on a system. However, it was found on recent
kernels that echo'ing a value into cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level
did not reduce any immediate load balancing.
The reason this occurred was because the update_domain_attr_tree() traversal
did not update for the "top_cpuset". This resulted in nothing being changed
when modifying the sched_relax_domain_level parameter.
This patch is able to address that problem by having update_domain_attr_tree()
allow updates for the root in the cpuset traversal.

commit 79063bffc81f82689bd90e16da1b49408f3bf095 upstream.
When we clear cpuset.cpus, cpuset.effective_cpus won't be cleared:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# echo 0 > /mnt/tmp/cpuset.cpus
# echo > /mnt/tmp/cpuset.cpus
# cat cpuset.cpus
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus
0-15
And a kernel warning in update_cpumasks_hier() is triggered:
------------[ cut here ]------------

commit 790317e1b266c776765a4bdcedefea706ff0fada upstream.
If clone_children is enabled, effective masks won't be initialized
due to the bug:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
# echo 1 > cgroup.clone_children
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# cat /mnt/tmp/
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus
# cat cpuset.cpus
0-15
And then this cpuset won't constrain the tasks in it.
Either the bug or the fix has no effect on unified hierarchy, as
there's no clone_chidren flag there any more.

PREEMPT_NONE
commit 8603e1b30027f943cc9c1eef2b291d42c3347af1 upstream.
cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using
__cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using
try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set
to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing
itself.
try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking
except when someone else is doing the above flushing during
cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In
this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The
assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other
canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same
condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive
busy looping
Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the
latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken
up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If,
before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes
__cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending()
will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A
and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item
is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly
preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on
the work item leading to a hang.

}
This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer()
to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking
flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

v3: bit_waitqueue() can't be used for work items defined in vmalloc
area. Switched to custom wake function which matches the target
work item and exclusive wait and wakeup.
v2: v1 used wake_up() on bit_waitqueue() which leads to NULL deref if
the target bit waitqueue has wait_bit_queue's on it. Use
DEFINE_WAIT_BIT() and __wake_up_bit() instead. Reported by Tomeu

commit 524a38682573b2e15ab6317ccfe50280441514be upstream.
Some archs (specifically PowerPC), are sensitive with the ordering of
the enabling of the calls to function tracing and setting of the
function to use to be traced.
That is, update_ftrace_function() sets what function the ftrace_caller
trampoline should call. Some archs require this to be set before
calling ftrace_run_update_code().
Another bug was discovered, that ftrace_startup_sysctl() called
ftrace_run_update_code() directly. If the function the ftrace_caller
trampoline changes, then it will not be updated. Instead a call
to ftrace_startup_enable() should be called because it tests to see
if the callback changed since the code was disabled, and will
tell the arch to update appropriately. Most archs do not need this
notification, but PowerPC does.
The problem could be seen by the following commands:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
The trace will show that function tracing was not active.

commit 1619dc3f8f555ee1cdd3c75db3885d5715442b12 upstream.
When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if
ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the
FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when
ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if
ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the
FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code().
Consider the following situation.
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
After this ftrace_enabled = 0.
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never
called.
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still
ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not
desired.
Further if we execute the following after this:
# echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on
the ARM platform.
On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called,
it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop,
then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at
that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller.
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore,
if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller()
or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row,
then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to
raise a warning.
Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture
specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state,
and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

commit b24d443b8f17d9776f5fc1f6c780a0a21eb02913 upstream.
When /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all function
tracing is disabled. But the records that represent the functions
still hold information about the ftrace_ops that are hooked to them.
ftrace_ops may request "REGS" (have a full set of pt_regs passed to
the callback), or "TRAMP" (the ops has its own trampoline to use).
When the record is updated to represent the state of the ops hooked
to it, it sets "REGS_EN" and/or "TRAMP_EN" to state that the callback
points to the correct trampoline (REGS has its own trampoline).
When ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all ftrace locations are a nop,
so they do not point to any trampoline. But the _EN flags are still
set. This can cause the accounting to go wrong when ftrace_enabled
is cleared and an ops that has a trampoline is registered or unregistered.
For example, the following will cause ftrace to crash:
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
As function_graph uses a trampoline, when ftrace_enabled is set to zero
the updates to the record are not done. When enabling function_graph
again, the record will still have the TRAMP_EN flag set, and it will
look for an op that has a trampoline other than the function_graph
ops, and fail to find one.

commit 6ae9200f2cab7 ("enlarge console.name") increased the storage
for the console name to 16 bytes, but not the corresponding
struct console_cmdline::name storage. Console names longer than
8 bytes cause read beyond end-of-string and failure to match
console; I'm not sure if there are other unexpected consequences.

commit 1fe89e1b6d270aa0d3452c60d38461ea589594e3 upstream.
Because task_group() uses a cache of autogroup_task_group(), whose
output depends on sched_class, switching classes can generate
problems.
In particular, when started as fair, the cache points to the
autogroup, so when switching to RT the tg_rt_schedulable() test fails
for every cpu.rt_{runtime,period}_us change because now the autogroup
has tasks and no runtime.
Furthermore, going back to the previous semantics of varying
task_group() with sched_class has the down-side that the sched_debug
output varies as well, even though the task really is in the
autogroup.
Therefore add an autogroup exception to tg_has_rt_tasks() -- such that
both (all) task_group() usages in sched/core now have one. And remove
all the remnants of the variable task_group() output.

commit 8d1e5a1a1ccf5ae9d8a5a0ee7960202ccb0c5429 upstream.
With task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returning early -EDEADLK we never
add the waiter to the waitqueue. Later, we try to remove it via
remove_waiter() and go boom in rt_mutex_top_waiter() because
rb_entry() gives a NULL pointer.
( Tested on v3.18-RT where rtmutex is used for regular mutex and I
tried to get one twice in a row. )
Not sure when this started but I guess 397335f004f4 ("rtmutex: Fix
deadlock detector for real") or commit 3d5c9340d194 ("rtmutex:

commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream.
Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid
potential multiplication overflows were added in commit
5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values)
Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of
LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being
much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives
resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/
EINVAL.
ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so
the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time
sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by
the bug.
See bugs:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074
This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for
clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled
on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always
larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication
overflows aren't possible there.

* Fix an off-by-one error in kdb_cpu().
* Replace NR_CPUS with CONFIG_NR_CPUS to tell checkpatch that we
really want a static limit.
* Removed the "KGDB: " prefix from the pr_crit() in debug_core.c

commit f7d4ca8bbfda23b4f1eae9b6757ff64166b093d5 upstream.
Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix
(consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off
before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by
kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems
grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage
of printk() usage. For example <SysRq>-h ends up with different output to
that of kdb's "sr h".
This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages
before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also
act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller
provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to
printk().
The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a
regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit
04d2c8c83d0e ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte
pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original
behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command
display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

commit 1e0d6714aceb770b04161fbedd7765d0e1fc27bd upstream.
When an application connects to the ring buffer via splice, it can only
read full pages. Splice does not work with partial pages. If there is
not enough data to fill a page, the splice command will either block
or return -EAGAIN (if set to nonblock).
Code was added where if the page is not full, to just sleep again.
The problem is, it will get woken up again on the next event. That
is, when something is written into the ring buffer, if there is a waiter
it will wake it up. The waiter would then check the buffer, see that
it still does not have enough data to fill a page and go back to sleep.
To make matters worse, when the waiter goes back to sleep, it could
cause another event, which would wake it back up again to see it
doesn't have enough data and sleep again. This produces a tremendous
overhead and fills the ring buffer with noise.
For example, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds
produces 25,350,475 events!!!
Create another wait queue for those waiters wanting full pages.
When an event is written, it only wakes up waiters if there's a full
page of data. It does not wake up the waiter if the page is not yet
full.
After this change, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10
seconds produces only 800 events. Getting rid of 25,349,675 useless
events (99.9969% of events!!), is something to take seriously.

commit 7215853e985a4bef1a6c14e00e89dfec84f1e457 upstream.
Commit 6edb2a8a385f0cdef51dae37ff23e74d76d8a6ce introduced
an array map_pages that contains the addresses returned by
kmap_atomic. However, when unmapping those pages, map_pages[0]
is unmapped before map_pages[1], breaking the nesting requirement
as specified in the documentation for kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic.
This was caught by the highmem debug code present in kunmap_atomic.
Fix the loop to do the unmapping properly.

commit 28423ad283d5348793b0c45cc9b1af058e776fd6 upstream.
While debugging an issue with excessive softirq usage, I encountered the
following note in commit 3e339b5dae24a706 ("softirq: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure"):
[ paulmck: Call rcu_note_context_switch() with interrupts enabled. ]
...but despite this note, the patch still calls RCU with IRQs disabled.
This seemingly innocuous change caused a significant regression in softirq
CPU usage on the sending side of a large TCP transfer (~1 GB/s): when
introducing 0.01% packet loss, the softirq usage would jump to around 25%,
spiking as high as 50%. Before the change, the usage would never exceed 5%.
Moving the call to rcu_note_context_switch() after the cond_sched() call,
as it was originally before the hotplug patch, completely eliminated this
problem.

I noticed some CLOCK_TAI timer test failures on one of my
less-frequently used configurations. And after digging in I
found in 76f4108892d9 (Cleanup hrtimer accessors to the
timekepeing state), the hrtimer_get_softirq_time tai offset
calucation was incorrectly rewritten, as the tai offset we
return shold be from CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and not CLOCK_REALTIME.
This results in CLOCK_TAI timers expiring early on non-highres
capable machines.
This patch fixes the issue, calculating the tai time properly
from the monotonic base.

Commit 67dfa1b756f2 ("sched/deadline: Implement cancel_dl_timer() to
use in switched_from_dl()") removed the hrtimer_try_cancel() function
call out from init_dl_task_timer(), which gets called from
__setparam_dl().
The result is that we can now re-init the timer while its active --
this is bad and corrupts timer state.
Furthermore; changing the parameters of an active deadline task is
tricky in that you want to maintain guarantees, while immediately
effective change would allow one to circumvent the CBS guarantees --
this too is bad, as one (bad) task should not be able to affect the
others.
Rework things to avoid both problems. We only need to initialize the
timer once, so move that to __sched_fork() for new tasks.
Then make sure __setparam_dl() doesn't affect the current running
state but only updates the parameters used to calculate the next
scheduling period -- this guarantees the CBS functions as expected
(albeit slightly pessimistic).
This however means we need to make sure __dl_clear_params() needs to
reset the active state otherwise new (and tasks flipping between
classes) will not properly (re)compute their first instance.
Todo: close class flipping CBS hole.
Todo: implement delayed BW release.

Commit 8eb23b9f35aa ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report
on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the
inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING,
but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it
calls schedule.
However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner
sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that
normally doesn't actually need to sleep).
And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to
TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and
working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just
sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen
every time.
In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to
basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater,
as reported by Bruno Prémont. But there may be other legacy uses of
that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never
get converted to the new model.
This fixes both cases:
- don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even
if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the
warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true.
So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))"
would trigger for every nested sleep.
- in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using
"sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used
for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change'
that is used for the debugging decision itself.
(Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we
avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the
suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test)

The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during
moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that
creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically
broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled.
Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event
for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets
confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice
as well by me via the perf fuzzer.
Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow
grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context.
This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

At least some gcc versions - validly afaict - warn about potentially
using max_group uninitialized: There's no way the compiler can prove
that the body of the conditional where it and max_faults get set/
updated gets executed; in fact, without knowing all the details of
other scheduler code, I can't prove this either.
Generally the necessary change would appear to be to clear max_group
prior to entering the inner loop, and break out of the outer loop when
it ends up being all clear after the inner one. This, however, seems
inefficient, and afaict the same effect can be achieved by exiting the
outer loop when max_faults is still zero after the inner loop.
[ mingo: changed the solution to zero initialization: uninitialized_var()
needs to die, as it's an actively dangerous construct: if in the future
a known-proven-good piece of code is changed to have a true, buggy
uninitialized variable, the compiler warning is then supressed...
The better long term solution is to clean up the code flow, so that
even simple minded compilers (and humans!) are able to read it without
getting a headache. ]

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"The lifetime rules of cgroup hierarchies always have been somewhat
counter-intuitive and cgroup core tried to enforce that hierarchies
w/o userland-visible usages must die in finite amount of time so that
the controllers can be reused for other hierarchies; unfortunately,
this can't be implemented reasonably for the memory controller - the
kmemcg part doesn't have any way to forcefully drain the existing
usages, leading to an interruptible hang if a following mount attempts
to use the controller in any way.
So, it seems like we're stuck with "hierarchies live on till they die
whenever that may be" at least for now. This pretty much confines
attaching controllers to hierarchies to before the hierarchies are
actively used by making dynamic configurations post active usages
unreliable. This has never been reliable and should be fine in
practice given how cgroups are used.
After the patch, hierarchies aren't killed if it isn't already
drained. A following mount attempt of the same mount options will
reuse the existing hierarchy. Mount attempts with differing options
will fail w/ -EBUSY"

get_online_cpus();
smpboot_create_threads(2);
smpboot_register_percpu_thread();
for_each_online_cpu();

prevent that.

PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT. However, no checks were included to ensure
that unused arguments are zero, as is done in many existing prctl()s

Since b2052564e66d ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from
offlined groups"), re-mounting the memory controller after using it is
very likely to hang.
The cgroup core assumes that any remaining references after deleting a
cgroup are temporary in nature, and synchroneously waits for them, but
the above-mentioned commit has left-over page cache pin its css until
it is reclaimed naturally. That being said, swap entries and charged
kernel memory have been doing the same indefinite pinning forever, the
bug is just more likely to trigger with left-over page cache.
Reparenting kernel memory is highly impractical, which leaves changing
the cgroup assumptions to reflect this: once a controller has been
mounted and used, it has internal state that is independent from mount
and cgroup lifetime. It can be unmounted and remounted, but it can't
be reconfigured during subsequent mounts.
Don't offline the controller root as long as there are any children,
dead or alive. A remount will no longer wait for these old references
to drain, it will simply mount the persistent controller state again.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"The xfs folks have been running into weird and very rare lockups for
some time now. I didn't think this could have been from workqueue
side because no one else was reporting it. This time, Eric had a
kdump which we looked into and it turned out this actually was a
workqueue bug and the bug has been there since the beginning of
concurrency managed workqueue.
A worker pool ensures forward progress of the workqueues associated
with it by always having at least one worker reserved from executing
work items. When the pool is under contention, the idle one tries to
create more workers for the pool and if that doesn't succeed quickly
enough, it calls the rescuers to the pool.
This logic had a subtle race condition in an early exit path. When a
worker invokes this manager function, the function may return %false
indicating that the caller may proceed to executing work items either
because another worker is already performing the role or conditions
have changed and the pool is no longer under contention.
The latter part depended on the assumption that whether more workers
are necessary or not remains stable while the pool is locked; however,
pool->nr_running (concurrency count) may change asynchronously and it
getting bumped from zero asynchronously could send off the last idle
worker to execute work items.
The race window is fairly narrow, and, even when it gets triggered,
the pool deadlocks iff if all work items get blocked on pending work
items of the pool, which is highly unlikely but can be triggered by
xfs.
The patch removes the race window by removing the early exit path,
which doesn't server any purpose anymore anyway"

workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_pool

The kallsyms routines (module_symbol_name, lookup_module_* etc) disable
preemption to walk the modules rather than taking the module_mutex:
this is because they are used for symbol resolution during oopses.
This works because there are synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu()
in the unload and failure paths. However, there's one case which doesn't
have that: the normal case where module loading succeeds, and we free
the init section.
We don't want a synchronize_rcu() there, because it would slow down
module loading: this bug was introduced in 2009 to speed module
loading in the first place.
Thus, we want to do the free in an RCU callback. We do this in the
simplest possible way by allocating a new rcu_head: if we put it in
the module structure we'd have to worry about that getting freed.

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations. Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.
This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all. avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.

Avoid overflow possibility.
[ The overflow is purely theoretical, since this is used for memory
ranges that aren't even close to using the full 64 bits, but this is
the right thing to do regardless. - Linus ]

A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the
last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and
summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely
manner before proceeding to execute work items.
This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates
whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return
value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the
manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should
proceed to work item execution.
Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed
to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head
of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following
conditions.
pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle
The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus
won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change
asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely
to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some
other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero.
If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero
nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work
items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource
which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that
pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more
workers or summon the rescuers.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from
maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff
there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker
doesn't start executing work items.
We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return
value but the only reason it was put there is because the
manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of
workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying
to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called
only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit
condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless.
Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which
trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This holds a few fixes to the ftrace infrastructure as well as the
mixture of function graph tracing and kprobes.
When jprobes and function graph tracing is enabled at the same time it
will crash the system:
# modprobe jprobe_example
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
After the first fork (jprobe_example probes it), the system will
crash.
This is due to the way jprobes copies the stack frame and does not do
a normal function return. This messes up with the function graph
tracing accounting which hijacks the return address from the stack and
replaces it with a hook function. It saves the return addresses in a
separate stack to put back the correct return address when done. But
because the jprobe functions do not do a normal return, their stack
addresses are not put back until the function they probe is called,
which means that the probed function will get the return address of
the jprobe handler instead of its own.
The simple fix here was to disable function graph tracing while the
jprobe handler is being called.
While debugging this I found two minor bugs with the function graph
tracing.
The first was about the function graph tracer sharing its function
hash with the function tracer (they both get filtered by the same
input). The changing of the set_ftrace_filter would not sync the
function recording records after a change if the function tracer was
disabled but the function graph tracer was enabled. This was due to
the update only checking one of the ops instead of the shared ops to
see if they were enabled and should perform the sync. This caused the
ftrace accounting to break and a ftrace_bug() would be triggered,
disabling ftrace until a reboot.
The second was that the check to update records only checked one of
the filter hashes. It needs to test both the "filter" and "notrace"
hashes. The "filter" hash determines what functions to trace where as
the "notrace" hash determines what functions not to trace (trace all
but these). Both hashes need to be passed to the update code to find
out what change is being done during the update. This also broke the
ftrace record accounting and triggered a ftrace_bug().
This patch set also include two more fixes that were reported
separately from the kprobe issue.
One was that init_ftrace_syscalls() was called twice at boot up. This
is not a major bug, but that call performed a rather large kmalloc
(NR_syscalls * sizeof(*syscalls_metadata)). The second call made the
first one a memory leak, and wastes memory.
The other fix is a regression caused by an update in the v3.19 merge
window. The moving to enable events early, moved the enabling before
PID 1 was created. The syscall events require setting the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT for all tasks. But for_each_process_thread()
does not include the swapper task (PID 0), and ended up being a nop.
A suggested fix was to add the init_task() to have its flag set, but I
didn't really want to mess with PID 0 for this minor bug. Instead I
disable and re-enable events again at early_initcall() where it use to
be enabled. This also handles any other event that might have its own
reg function that could break at early boot up"

Commit 5f893b2639b2 "tracing: Move enabling tracepoints to just after
rcu_init()" broke the enabling of system call events from the command
line. The reason was that the enabling of command line trace events
was moved before PID 1 started, and the syscall tracepoints require
that all tasks have the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag set. But the
swapper task (pid 0) is not part of that. Since the swapper task is the
only task that is running at this early in boot, no task gets the
flag set, and the tracepoint never gets reached.
Instead of setting the swapper task flag (there should be no reason to
do that), re-enabled trace events again after the init thread (PID 1)
has been started. It requires disabling all command line events and
re-enabling them, as just enabling them again will not reset the logic
to set the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag, as the syscall tracepoint will
be fooled into thinking that it was already set, and wont try setting
it again. For this reason, we must first disable it and re-enable it.

trace_init() calls init_ftrace_syscalls() and then calls trace_event_init()
which also calls init_ftrace_syscalls(). It makes more sense to only
call it from trace_event_init().
Calling it twice wastes memory, as it allocates the syscall events twice,
and loses the first copy of it.
