jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

 "In the finest of holiday of traditions, I have a number of gifts to
  share today. While most of them are re-gifts from others, unlike the
  typical re-gift, these are things you will want in and around your
  tree; I promise.

  This pull request is perhaps a bit larger than our typical PR, but
  most of it comes from Jan's rework of audit's fanotify code; a very
  welcome improvement. We ran this through our normal regression tests,
  as well as some newly created stress tests and everything looks good.

  Richard added a few patches, mostly cleaning up a few things and and
  shortening some of the audit records that we send to userspace; a
  change the userspace folks are quite happy about.

  Finally YueHaibing and I kick in a few patches to simplify things a
  bit and make the code less prone to errors.

  Lastly, I want to say thanks one more time to everyone who has
  contributed patches, testing, and code reviews for the audit subsystem
  over the past year. The project is what it is due to your help and
  contributions - thank you"

psi: fix reference to kernel commandline enable

psi: make disabling/enabling easier for vendor kernels

2018-11-30T22:56:14+00:00

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.

With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge.  Do the following things to
make it easier:

1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
   to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
   unless a user requests it at boot-time.

   To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.

2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
   when the feature is disabled.

In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

psi: cgroup support

2018-10-26T23:26:32+00:00

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but
also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.

This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups.  In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO

2018-10-26T23:26:32+00:00

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills.  In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.

In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.

A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively.  Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:

       cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
       memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
       io: tasks are waiting for io completions

These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit.  They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.

To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states.  Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime.  A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

Create a config for enabling irq load tracking in the scheduler.
irq load tracking is useful only when irq or paravirtual time is
accounted but it's only possible with SMP for now.

Also use __maybe_unused to remove the compilation warning in
