During a context switch, we first switch_mm() to the next task's mm,
then switch_to() that new task. This means that vmalloc'd regions which
had previously been faulted in can transiently disappear in the context
of the prev task.
Functions instrumented by KCOV may try to access a vmalloc'd kcov_area
during this window, and as the fault handling code is instrumented, this
results in a recursive fault.
We must avoid accessing any kcov_area during this window. We can do so
with a new flag in kcov_mode, set prior to switching the mm, and cleared
once the new task is live. Since task_struct::kcov_mode isn't always a
specific enum kcov_mode value, this is made an unsigned int.
The manipulation is hidden behind kcov_{prepare,finish}_switch() helpers,
which are empty for !CONFIG_KCOV kernels.
The code uses macros because I can't use static inline functions without a
circular include dependency between <linux/sched.h> and <linux/kcov.h>,
since the definition of task_struct uses things defined in <linux/kcov.h>

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:
kzalloc(a * b, gfp)
with:
kcalloc(a * b, gfp)
as well as handling cases of:
kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
with:
kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace
memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two
purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the
current CPU number value from user-space.
* Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics)
Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on
per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.
The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started
by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of
critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a
few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other
architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path.
Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases.
Test hardware:
arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core
x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading
The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread.
* Per-CPU statistic counter increment
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 344.0 31.4 11.0
x86-64: 15.3 2.0 7.7
* LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer
per-cpu buffer
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 2502.0 2250.0 1.1
x86-64: 117.4 98.0 1.2
* liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 751.0 128.5 5.8
x86-64: 53.4 28.6 1.9
* jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq
Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on
rseq 2016 implementation):
The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and
the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%.
* Reading the current CPU number
Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is
running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the
cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done
by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the
current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler
updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory
area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from
memory.
Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and
user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read
the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over
alternative approaches:
- 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc
- 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso
executing a "lsl" instruction,
- 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction,
- Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline
assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable
sequences.
- The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared
between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the
case for the lsl-based x86 vdso.
On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment
selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs
similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is
not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already
using the gs segment selector for other purposes.
Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number:
ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Machine model: Cubietruck
- Baseline (empty loop): 8.4 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 16.7 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 19.8 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu: 301.8 ns
- getcpu system call: 234.9 ns
x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz:
- Baseline (empty loop): 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 0.8 ns
- Read using gs segment selector: 0.8 ns
- "lsl" inline assembly: 13.0 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu: 16.6 ns
- getcpu system call: 53.9 ns
- Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset)
Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to
expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the
scheduler:
Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @
2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy
saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1
kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig,
restartable sequences series applied.
* CONFIG_RSEQ=n
avg.: 41.37 s
std.dev.: 0.36 s
* CONFIG_RSEQ=y
avg.: 40.46 s
std.dev.: 0.33 s
- Size
On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is
567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These include a significant update of the generic power domains
(genpd) and Operating Performance Points (OPP) frameworks, mostly
related to the introduction of power domain performance levels,
cpufreq updates (new driver for Qualcomm Kryo processors, updates of
the existing drivers, some core fixes, schedutil governor
improvements), PCI power management fixes, ACPI workaround for
EC-based wakeup events handling on resume from suspend-to-idle, and
major updates of the turbostat and pm-graph utilities.
Specifics:
- Introduce power domain performance levels into the the generic
power domains (genpd) and Operating Performance Points (OPP)
frameworks (Viresh Kumar, Rajendra Nayak, Dan Carpenter).
- Fix two issues in the runtime PM framework related to the
initialization and removal of devices using device links (Ulf
Hansson).
- Clean up the initialization of drivers for devices in PM domains
(Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Fix a cpufreq core issue related to the policy sysfs interface
causing CPU online to fail for CPUs sharing one cpufreq policy in
some situations (Tao Wang).
- Make it possible to use platform-specific suspend/resume hooks in
the cpufreq-dt driver and make the Armada 37xx DVFS use that
feature (Viresh Kumar, Miquel Raynal).
- Optimize policy transition notifications in cpufreq (Viresh Kumar).
- Improve the iowait boost mechanism in the schedutil cpufreq
governor (Patrick Bellasi).
- Improve the handling of deferred frequency updates in the schedutil
cpufreq governor (Joel Fernandes, Dietmar Eggemann, Rafael Wysocki,
Viresh Kumar).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for Qualcomm Kryo (Ilia Lin).
- Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers (Colin Ian King, Dmitry
Osipenko, Doug Smythies, Luc Van Oostenryck, Simon Horman, Viresh
Kumar).
- Fix the handling of PCI devices with the DPM_SMART_SUSPEND flag set
and update stale comments in the PCI core PM code (Rafael Wysocki).
- Work around an issue related to the handling of EC-based wakeup
events in the ACPI PM core during resume from suspend-to-idle if
the EC has been put into the low-power mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Improve the handling of wakeup source objects in the PM core (Doug
Berger, Mahendran Ganesh, Rafael Wysocki).
- Update the driver core to prevent deferred probe from breaking
suspend/resume ordering (Feng Kan).
- Clean up the PM core somewhat (Bjorn Helgaas, Ulf Hansson, Rafael
Wysocki).
- Make the core suspend/resume code and cpufreq support the RT patch
(Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, Thomas Gleixner).
- Consolidate the PM QoS handling in cpuidle governors (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Fix a possible crash in the hibernation core (Tetsuo Handa).
- Update the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) driver (David
Wu).
- Update the turbostat utility (fixes, cleanups, new CPU IDs, new
command line options, built-in "Low Power Idle" counters support,
new POLL and POLL% columns) and add an entry for it to MAINTAINERS
(Len Brown, Artem Bityutskiy, Chen Yu, Laura Abbott, Matt Turner,
Prarit Bhargava, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update the pm-graph to version 5.1 (Todd Brandt).
- Update the intel_pstate_tracer utility (Doug Smythies)"

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
- updates to the handling of expedited grace periods
- updates to reduce lock contention in the rcu_node combining tree
