2015-05-13genirq: devres: Fix testing return value of request_any_context_irq()Axel Lin
request_any_context_irq() returns a negative value on failure. It returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED on success. So fix testing return value of request_any_context_irq(). Also fixup the return value of devm_request_any_context_irq() to make it consistent with request_any_context_irq().

2015-05-13ktime: Fix ktime_divns to do signed divisionJohn Stultz
It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns() was doing unsigned division and didn't properly handle negative values. And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters. See the following bugzilla for details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353 This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if appropriate after the division, it also changes the return type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected. Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both 32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure no such use cases creep in.

2015-05-12PM / sleep: Refine diagnostic messages in enter_state()Rafael J. Wysocki
Some of the system suspend diagnostic messages related to suspend-to-idle refer to it as "freeze sleep" or "freeze state" while the others say "suspend-to-idle". To reduce the possible confusion that may result from that, refine the former either to say "suspend to idle" too or to make it clearer that what is printed is a state string written to /sys/power/state ("mem", "standby", or "freeze").

2015-05-12ftrace: Provide trace clock monotonic rawDrew Richardson
Expose the NMI safe accessor to the monotonic raw clock to the tracer. The mono clock was added with commit 1b3e5c0936046e7e023149ddc8946d21c2ea20eb. The advantage of the monotonic raw clock is that it will advance more constantly than the monotonic clock. Imagine someone is trying to optimize a particular program to reduce instructions executed for a given workload while minimizing the effect on runtime. Also suppose that NTP is running and potentially making larger adjustments to the monotonic clock. If NTP is adjusting the monotonic clock to advance more rapidly, the program will appear to use fewer instructions per second but run longer than if the monotonic raw clock had been used. The total number of instructions observed would be the same regardless of the clock source used, but how it's attributed to time would be affected. Conversely if NTP is adjusting the monotonic clock to advance more slowly, the program will appear to use more instructions per second but run more quickly. Of course there are many sources that can cause jitter in performance measurements on modern processors, but let's remove NTP from the list. The monotonic raw clock can also be useful for tracing early boot, e.g. when debugging issues with NTP.

2015-05-12tracing: Export tracing clock functionsJerry Snitselaar
Critical tracepoint hooks should never call anything that takes a lock, so they are unable to call getrawmonotonic() or ktime_get(). Export the rest of the tracing clock functions so can be used in tracepoint hooks. Background: We have a customer that adds their own module and registers a tracepoint hook to sched_wakeup. They were using ktime_get() for a time source, but it grabs a seq lock and caused a deadlock to occur.

2015-05-09seccomp, filter: add and use bpf_prog_create_from_user from seccompDaniel Borkmann
Seccomp has always been a special candidate when it comes to preparation of its filters in seccomp_prepare_filter(). Due to the extra checks and filter rewrite it partially duplicates code and has BPF internals exposed. This patch adds a generic API inside the BPF code code that seccomp can use and thus keep it's filter preparation code minimal and better maintainable. The other side-effect is that now classic JITs can add seccomp support as well by only providing a BPF_LDX | BPF_W | BPF_ABS translation. Tested with seccomp and BPF test suites.

Remove the calls to bpf_check_classic(), bpf_convert_filter() and bpf_migrate_runtime() and let bpf_prepare_filter() take care of that instead. seccomp_check_filter() is passed to bpf_prepare_filter() so that it gets called from there, after bpf_check_classic(). We can now remove exposure of two internal classic BPF functions previously used by seccomp. The export of bpf_check_classic() symbol, previously known as sk_chk_filter(), was there since pre git times, and no in-tree module was using it, therefore remove it. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

2015-05-08sched: always use blk_schedule_flush_plug in io_schedule_outShaohua Li
block plug callback could sleep, so we introduce a parameter 'from_schedule' and corresponding drivers can use it to destinguish a schedule plug flush or a plug finish. Unfortunately io_schedule_out still uses blk_flush_plug(). This causes below output (Note, I added a might_sleep() in raid1_unplug to make it trigger faster, but the whole thing doesn't matter if I add might_sleep). In raid1/10, this can cause deadlock. This patch makes io_schedule_out always uses blk_schedule_flush_plug. This should only impact drivers (as far as I know, raid 1/10) which are sensitive to the 'from_schedule' parameter.

2015-05-08locking/pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlockWaiman Long
Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for paravirt along with a special unlock path. The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version. The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups. The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

2015-05-08locking/qspinlock: Use a simple write to grab the lockWaiman Long
Currently, atomic_cmpxchg() is used to get the lock. However, this is not really necessary if there is more than one task in the queue and the queue head don't need to reset the tail code. For that case, a simple write to set the lock bit is enough as the queue head will be the only one eligible to get the lock as long as it checks that both the lock and pending bits are not set. The current pending bit waiting code will ensure that the bit will not be set as soon as the tail code in the lock is set. With that change, the are some slight improvement in the performance of the queued spinlock in the 5M loop micro-benchmark run on a 4-socket Westere-EX machine as shown in the tables below.

2015-05-08locking/qspinlock: Optimize for smaller NR_CPUSPeter Zijlstra (Intel)
When we allow for a max NR_CPUS < 2^14 we can optimize the pending wait-acquire and the xchg_tail() operations. By growing the pending bit to a byte, we reduce the tail to 16bit. This means we can use xchg16 for the tail part and do away with all the repeated compxchg() operations. This in turn allows us to unconditionally acquire; the locked state as observed by the wait loops cannot change. And because both locked and pending are now a full byte we can use simple stores for the state transition, obviating one atomic operation entirely. This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance parity with ticket spinlock at light load. All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that cannot do single-copy atomic byte stores).

Because the qspinlock needs to touch a second cacheline (the per-cpu mcs_nodes[]); add a pending bit and allow a single in-word spinner before we punt to the second cacheline. It is possible so observe the pending bit without the locked bit when the last owner has just released but the pending owner has not yet taken ownership. In this case we would normally queue -- because the pending bit is already taken. However, in this case the pending bit is guaranteed to be released 'soon', therefore wait for it and avoid queueing.

2015-05-08locking/qspinlock: Introduce a simple generic 4-byte queued spinlockWaiman Long
This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected. Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower due to the higher slowpath overhead. This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of slower inter-node memory traffic. Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled, the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index) leaving one byte for the lock. Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to be used later.

2015-05-08locking/rwsem: Reduce spinlock contention in wakeup after up_read()/up_write()Waiman Long
In up_write()/up_read(), rwsem_wake() will be called whenever it detects that some writers/readers are waiting. The rwsem_wake() function will take the wait_lock and call __rwsem_do_wake() to do the real wakeup. For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write operations. This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake() optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer, rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that fails, it will just quit.

2015-05-08futex: Implement lockless wakeupsDavidlohr Bueso
Given the overall futex architecture, any chance of reducing hb->lock contention is welcome. In this particular case, using wake-queues to enable lockless wakeups addresses very much real world performance concerns, even cases of soft-lockups in cases of large amounts of blocked tasks (which is not hard to find in large boxes, using but just a handful of futex). At the lowest level, this patch can reduce latency of a single thread attempting to acquire hb->lock in highly contended scenarios by a up to 2x. At lower counts of nr_wake there are no regressions, confirming, of course, that the wake_q handling overhead is practically non existent. For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

2015-05-08sched: Implement lockless wake-queuesPeter Zijlstra
This is useful for locking primitives that can effect multiple wakeups per operation and want to avoid lock internal lock contention by delaying the wakeups until we've released the lock internal locks. Alternatively it can be used to avoid issuing multiple wakeups, and thus save a few cycles, in packet processing. Queue all target tasks and wakeup once you've processed all packets. That way you avoid waking the target task multiple times if there were multiple packets for the same task. Properties of a wake_q are: - Lockless, as queue head must reside on the stack. - Being a queue, maintains wakeup order passed by the callers. This can be important for otherwise, in scenarios where highly contended locks could affect any reliance on lock fairness. - A queued task cannot be added again until it is woken up. This patch adds the needed infrastructure into the scheduler code and uses the new wake_list to delay the futex wakeups until after we've released the hash bucket locks.

Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However, the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure. Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer. This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.

2015-05-08sched, timer: Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to ↵Jason Low
improve scalability While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers. Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock. Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems (such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats. This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced from 30% down to less than 1%. Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time. However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue. An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

2015-05-08sched/core: Remove unnecessary down/up conversionNicholas Mc Guire
'rt_period_us' is automatically type converted from u64 to long and then cast back to u64 - this down/up conversion is unnecessary and can be removed to improve readability. This will also help us not truncate 'rt_period_us' to 32 bits on 32-bit kernels, should we ever have so large values. (unlikely, not the least due to procfs.)

2015-05-08signals, sched: Change all uses of JOBCTL_* from 'int' to 'long'Palmer Dabbelt
c56fb6564dcd ("Fix a misaligned load inside ptrace_attach()") makes jobctl an "unsigned long". It makes sense to have the masks applied to it match that type. This is currently just a cosmetic change, but it will prevent the mask from being unexpectedly truncated if we ever end up with masks with more bits. One instance of "signr" is an int, but I left this alone because the mask ensures that it will never overflow.

2015-05-08sched/core: Fix regression in cpuset_cpu_inactive() for suspendOmar Sandoval
Commit 3c18d447b3b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in cpuset_cpu_inactive()"), a SCHED_DEADLINE bugfix, had a logic error that caused a regression in setting a CPU inactive during suspend. I ran into this when a program was failing pthread_setaffinity_np() with EINVAL after a suspend+wake up. A simple reproducer: $ ./a.out sched_setaffinity: Success $ systemctl suspend $ ./a.out sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument ... where ./a.out is: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <errno.h> #include <sched.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { long num_cores; cpu_set_t cpu_set; int ret; num_cores = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN); CPU_ZERO(&cpu_set); CPU_SET(num_cores - 1, &cpu_set); errno = 0; ret = sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(cpu_set), &cpu_set); perror("sched_setaffinity"); return ret ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS; } The mistake is that suspend is handled in the action == CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN case of the switch statement in cpuset_cpu_inactive(). However, the commit in question masked out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN from the action, making this case dead. The fix is straightforward.

2015-05-08sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()Thomas Gleixner
Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly: T1 (prio = 10) lock(rtmutex); T2 (prio = 20) lock(rtmutex) boost T1 T1 (prio = 20) sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30) T1 prio = 30 .... sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10) T1 prio = 30 The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20. Commit c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its priority. Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the decision whether a change of the priority is required.

2015-05-07nohz: Set isolcpus when nohz_full is setChris Metcalf
nohz_full is only useful with isolcpus are also set, since otherwise the scheduler has to run periodically to try to determine whether to steal work from other cores. Accordingly, when booting with nohz_full=xxx on the command line, we should act as if isolcpus=xxx was also set, and set (or extend) the isolcpus set to include the nohz_full cpus.

2015-05-07context_tracking: Inherit TIF_NOHZ through forks instead of context switchesFrederic Weisbecker
TIF_NOHZ is used by context_tracking to force syscall slow-path on every task in order to track userspace roundtrips. As such, it must be set on all running tasks. It's currently explicitly inherited through context switches. There is no need to do it in this fast-path though. The flag could simply be set once for all on all tasks, whether they are running or not. Lets do this by setting the flag for the init task on early boot, and let it propagate through fork inheritance. While at it, mark context_tracking_cpu_set() as init code, we only need it at early boot time.

2015-05-07context_tracking: Protect against recursionFrederic Weisbecker
Context tracking recursion can happen when an exception triggers in the middle of a call to a context tracking probe. This special case can be caused by vmalloc faults. If an access to a memory area allocated by vmalloc happens in the middle of context_tracking_enter(), we may run into an endless fault loop because the exception in turn calls context_tracking_enter() which faults on the same vmalloc'ed memory, triggering an exception again, etc... Some rare crashes have been reported so lets protect against this with a recursion counter.
