kernel/sched/psi.c: simplify cgroup_move_task()

2018-11-18T18:15:09+00:00

The existing code triggered an invalid warning about 'rq' possibly being
used uninitialized.  Instead of doing the silly warning suppression by
initializa it to NULL, refactor the code to bail out early instead.

Warning was:

  kernel/sched/psi.c: In function `cgroup_move_task':
  kernel/sched/psi.c:639:13: warning: `rq' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

kdb: kdb_support: mark expected switch fall-throughs

2018-11-13T20:38:50+00:00

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases
where we are expecting to fall through.

Notice that in this particular case, I replaced the code comments with
a proper "fall through" annotation, which is what GCC is expecting
to find.

2018-11-13T20:37:53+00:00

Replace the whole switch statement with a for loop.  This makes the
code clearer and easy to read.

This also addresses the following Coverity warnings:

kdb: Use strscpy with destination buffer size

kdb: print real address of pointers instead of hashed addresses

2018-11-13T20:27:37+00:00

Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
all pointers printed with %p are printed with hashed addresses
instead of real addresses in order to avoid leaking addresses in
dmesg and syslog. But this applies to kdb too, with is unfortunate:

    Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 329) due to Keyboard Entry
    kdb> ps
    15 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed,
    use 'ps A' to see all.
    Task Addr       Pid   Parent [*] cpu State Thread     Command
    0x(ptrval)      329      328  1    0   R  0x(ptrval) *sh

    0x(ptrval)        1        0  0    0   S  0x(ptrval)  init
    0x(ptrval)        3        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  rcu_gp
    0x(ptrval)        4        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  rcu_par_gp
    0x(ptrval)        5        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  kworker/0:0
    0x(ptrval)        6        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  kworker/0:0H
    0x(ptrval)        7        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  kworker/u2:0
    0x(ptrval)        8        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  mm_percpu_wq
    0x(ptrval)       10        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  rcu_preempt

The whole purpose of kdb is to debug, and for debugging real addresses
need to be known. In addition, data displayed by kdb doesn't go into
dmesg.

This patch replaces all %p by %px in kdb in order to display real
addresses.

kdb: use correct pointer when 'btc' calls 'btt'

2018-11-13T20:27:16+00:00

On a powerpc 8xx, 'btc' fails as follows:

Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 282) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> btc
btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0
Available cpus: 0
kdb_getarea: Bad address 0x0

when booting the kernel with 'debug_boot_weak_hash', it fails as well

Entering kdb (current=0xba99ad80, pid 284) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> btc
btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0
Available cpus: 0
kdb_getarea: Bad address 0xba99ad80

On other platforms, Oopses have been observed too, see
https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/issues/139

This is due to btc calling 'btt' with %p pointer as an argument.

This patch replaces %p by %px to get the real pointer value as
expected by 'btt'

sched/fair: Fix cpu_util_wake() for 'execl' type workloads

2018-11-12T04:00:46+00:00

A ~10% regression has been reported for UnixBench's execl throughput
test by Aaron Lu and Ye Xiaolong:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/30/765

That test is pretty simple, it does a "recursive" execve() syscall on the
same binary. Starting from the syscall, this sequence is possible:

   do_execve()
     do_execveat_common()
       __do_execve_file()
         sched_exec()
           select_task_rq_fair()          <==| Task already enqueued
             find_idlest_cpu()
               find_idlest_group()
                 capacity_spare_wake()    <==| Functions not called from
		   cpu_util_wake()           | the wakeup path

which means we can end up calling cpu_util_wake() not only from the
"wakeup path", as its name would suggest. Indeed, the task doing an
execve() syscall is already enqueued on the CPU we want to get the
cpu_util_wake() for.

The estimated utilization for a CPU computed in cpu_util_wake() was
written under the assumption that function can be called only from the
wakeup path. If instead the task is already enqueued, we end up with a
utilization which does not remove the current task's contribution from
the estimated utilization of the CPU.
This will wrongly assume a reduced spare capacity on the current CPU and
increase the chances to migrate the task on execve.

The regression is tracked down to:

 commit d519329f72a6 ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")

because in that patch we turn on by default the UTIL_EST sched feature.
However, the real issue is introduced by:

 commit f9be3e5961c5 ("sched/fair: Use util_est in LB and WU paths")

Let's fix this by ensuring to always discount the task estimated
utilization from the CPU's estimated utilization when the task is also
the current one. The same benchmark of the bug report, executed on a
dual socket 40 CPUs Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz machine,
reports these "Execl Throughput" figures (higher the better):

   mainline     : 48136.5 lps
   mainline+fix : 55376.5 lps

which correspond to a 15% speedup.

Moreover, since {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_wake() are not really only
used from the wakeup path, let's remove this ambiguity by using a better
matching name: {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_without().

Since we are at that, let's also improve the existing documentation.
