I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with
lguest.
My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific
issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got
exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches.
In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the
presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the
lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set.
This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit.
(look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result
in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will
end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats
getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context
of lguest launcher/helper process).
This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent
2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or
sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as
we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly
created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes
running inside of lguest.
With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins
now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed.
Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

It seems that the current implementaton of wait_for_completion_timeout()
has a small problem under very high load for the common pattern:
if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&done, timeout))
/* handle failure */
because the implementation very roughly does (lots of code deleted to
show the basic flow):
static inline long __sched
do_wait_for_common(struct completion *x, long timeout, int state)
{
if (x->done)
return timeout;
do {
timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);
if (!timeout)
return timeout;
} while (!x->done);
return timeout;
}
so if the system is very busy and x->done is not set when
do_wait_for_common() is entered, it is possible that the first call to
schedule_timeout() returns 0 because the task doing wait_for_completion
doesn't get rescheduled for a long time, even if it is woken up early
enough.
In this case, wait_for_completion_timeout() returns 0 without even
checking x->done again, and the code above falls into its failure case
purely for scheduler reasons, even if the hardware event or whatever was
being waited for happened early enough.
It would make sense to add an extra test to do_wait_for() in the timeout
case and return 1 if x->done is actually set.
A quick audit (not exhaustive) of wait_for_completion_timeout() callers
seems to indicate that no one actually cares about the return value in
the success case -- they just test for 0 (timed out) versus non-zero
(wait succeeded).

RFC 4960, Section 11.4. Protection of Non-SCTP-Capable Hosts
When an SCTP stack receives a packet containing multiple control or
DATA chunks and the processing of the packet requires the sending of
multiple chunks in response, the sender of the response chunk(s) MUST
NOT send more than one packet. If bundling is supported, multiple
response chunks that fit into a single packet MAY be bundled together
into one single response packet. If bundling is not supported, then
the sender MUST NOT send more than one response chunk and MUST
discard all other responses. Note that this rule does NOT apply to a
SACK chunk, since a SACK chunk is, in itself, a response to DATA and
a SACK does not require a response of more DATA.
We implement this by not servicing our outqueue until we reach the end
of the packet. This enables maximum bundling. We also identify
'response' chunks and make sure that we only send 1 packet when sending
such chunks.

This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait
time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following
reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for
CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state),
the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this,
the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the
next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by
recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the
sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on
the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the
process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state.
The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs.
The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on
the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported
back to user space.

I dunno. Here's a untested (!!) patch that turns constant-bit
set/clear_bit ops into byte mask ops (lock orb/andb).
It's not exactly pretty. The reason for using the byte versions is that a
locked op is serialized in the memory pipeline anyway, so there are no
forwarding issues (that could slow down things when we access things with
different sizes), and the byte ops are a lot smaller than 32-bit and
particularly 64-bit ops (big constants, and the 64-bit ops need the REX
prefix byte too).
[ Side note: I wonder if we should turn the "test_bit()" C version into a
"char *" version too.. It could actually help with alias analysis, since
char pointers can alias anything. So it might be the RightThing(tm) to
do for multiple reasons. I dunno. It's a separate issue. ]
It does actually shrink the kernel image a bit (a couple of hundred bytes
on the text segment for my everything-compiled-in image), and while it's
totally untested the (admittedly few) code generation points I looked at
seemed sane. And "lock orb" should be noticeably faster than "lock bts".
If somebody wants to play with it, go wild. I didn't do "change_bit()",
because nobody sane uses that thing anyway. I guarantee nothing. And if it
breaks, nobody saw me do anything. You can't prove this email wasn't sent
by somebody who is good at forging smtp.
This does require a gcc that is recent enough for "__builtin_constant_p()"
to work in an inline function, but I suspect our kernel requirements are
already higher than that. And if you do have an old gcc that is supported,
the worst that would happen is that the optimization doesn't trigger.

This patch re-institutes the ability to build rcutorture directly into
the Linux kernel. The reason that this capability was removed was that
this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture
would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided
by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default,
(2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture
to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named
/proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be
quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel.
Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture
is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier
take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set
rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero.
The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops
in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will
be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second.
