| | | | | * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rcu: Introduce rcutorture testing for rcu_barrier()Paul E. McKenney2012-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although rcutorture does invoke rcu_barrier() and friends, it cannot really be called a torture test given that it invokes them only once at the end of the test. This commit therefore introduces heavy-duty rcutorture testing for rcu_barrier(), which may be carried out concurrently with normal rcutorture testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The rcutorture cleanup code failed to NULL out a number of pointers. These bugs will normally have no effect, but this commit fixes them nevertheless. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The exit() path invokes exit_rcu() to do this cleanup. However, the current implementation of exit_rcu() needlessly does the cleanup even if the task did not block within the current RCU read-side critical section, which wastes time and needlessly increases the size of the state space. Fix this by only doing the cleanup if the current task is actually on the list of tasks blocking some grace period. While we are at it, consolidate the two identical exit_rcu() functions into a single function. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

However, for larger systems, num_online_cpus() scans a large vector, and might be preempted while doing so. While preempted, any number of CPUs might come online and go offline, potentially resulting in num_online_cpus() returning 1 when there never had only been one CPU online. This could result in a too-short RCU grace period, which could in turn result in total failure, except that the only way that the grace period is too short is if there is an RCU read-side critical section spanning it. For RCU-sched and RCU-bh (which are the only cases using rcu_blocking_is_gp()), RCU read-side critical sections have either preemption or bh disabled, which prevents CPUs from going offline. This in turn prevents actual failures from occurring. This commit therefore adds a large block comment to rcu_blocking_is_gp() documenting why it is safe. This commit also moves rcu_blocking_is_gp() into kernel/rcutree.c, which should help prevent unwary developers from mistaking it for a generally useful function. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This was needed to reduce lock contention that was induced by the synchronization of scheduling-clock interrupts, which was in turn needed to improve energy efficiency for moderate-sized lightly loaded servers. However, reducing the leaf-level fanout means that there are more leaf-level rcu_node structures in the tree, which in turn means that RCU's grace-period initialization incurs more cache misses. This is not a problem on moderate-sized servers with only a few tens of CPUs, but becomes a major source of real-time latency spikes on systems with many hundreds of CPUs. In addition, the workloads running on these large systems tend to be CPU-bound, which eliminates the energy-efficiency advantages of synchronizing scheduling-clock interrupts. Therefore, these systems need maximal values for the rcu_node leaf-level fanout. This commit addresses this problem by introducing a new kernel parameter named RCU_FANOUT_LEAF that directly controls the leaf-level fanout. This parameter defaults to 16 to handle the common case of a moderate sized lightly loaded servers, but may be set higher on larger systems.

Once all of these callbacks have been invoked, rcu_barrier() knows that every callback that was registered before the call to rcu_barrier() has also been invoked. However, there is no point in registering a callback on a CPU that currently has no callbacks, most especially if that CPU is in a deep idle state. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier() avoid interrupting CPUs that have no callbacks. Doing this requires reworking the handling of orphaned callbacks, otherwise callbacks could slip through rcu_barrier()'s net by being orphaned from a CPU that rcu_barrier() had not yet interrupted to a CPU that rcu_barrier() had already interrupted. This reworking was needed anyway to take a first step towards weaning RCU from the CPU_DYING notifier's use of stop_cpu(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This is important because when RCU_FAST_NO_HZ permits a CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode despite having RCU callbacks pending, it posts a timer on that CPU to force a wakeup on that CPU. This wakeup ensures that the CPU will eventually handle the end of the grace period, including invoking its RCU callbacks. However, Pascal Chapperon's test setup shows that the timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() really does get invoked in some cases. This is problematic because this can cause the CPU that entered dyntick-idle mode despite still having RCU callbacks pending to remain in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, which means that its RCU callbacks might never be invoked. This situation can result in grace-period delays or even system hangs, which matches Pascal's observations of slow boot-up and shutdown (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/5/142). See also the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548 This commit therefore causes the "should never be invoked" timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() to use smp_call_function_single() to wake up the CPU for which the timer was intended, allowing that CPU to invoke its RCU callbacks in a timely manner.

CPU 0 executes synchronize_rcu(), which posts an RCU callback. 2. CPU 0 then goes idle. It cannot immediately invoke the callback, but there is nothing RCU needs from ti, so it enters dyntick-idle mode after posting a timer. 3. The timer gets migrated to CPU 1. 4. CPU 0 never wakes up, so the synchronize_rcu() never returns, so the system hangs. This commit fixes this problem by using mod_timer_pinned(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, to ensure that the timer is actually posted on the running CPU.

This timer is cancelled when the CPU exits idle, and therefore should never fire. However, if the timer were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.

This can cause rcu_prepare_for_idle() to run through its state machine too quickly, which can in turn result in needless scheduling-clock interrupts. This commit therefore adds code to enable rcu_prepare_for_idle() to distinguish between an initial entry to idle on the one hand (which needs to advance the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine) and an idle reentry due to idle-capable trace macros and RCU_NONIDLE() on the other hand (which should avoid advancing the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine). Additional state is maintained to allow the timer to be correctly reposted when returning after a momentary pause out of idle, and even more state is maintained to detect when new non-lazy callbacks have been enqueued (which may require re-evaluation of the approach to idleness).

This gives us a fairly uptodate snapshot of all CPUs in the system. This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier trying to debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything since the next step is a kernel panic.

This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no longer ignored. Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to be printed. By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE) and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set, setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable the function event and does not warn.

So the high word of blocked.sig[0] will be cleared, releasing any potentially blocked RT signal. This was discovered via userspace code that relies on get/setcontext. glibc's i386 versions of those functions use sigprogmask instead of rt_sigprogmask to save/restore signal mask and caused RT signal unblocking this way. As suggested by Linus, this replaces the sys_sigprocmask based compat version with one that open-codes the required logic, including the merge of the existing blocked set with the new one provided on SIG_SETMASK.

The amount of pages allocated was calculated based on total amount of pages available, although only non-high memory pages are usable for this purpose. This caused hibernation code to attempt to over allocate pages on platforms that have high memory, which led to hangs. Signed-off-by: Bojan Smojver <bojan@rexursive.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

A WARN_ON_ONCE() was added to __call_rcu() by: e56014000816 ("rcu: Simplify offline processing") to check for this condition. Although this condition did not trigger (at least as far as I know) during -next testing, it did recently trigger in mainline: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/2/34 What is needed longer term is for RCU's CPU_DEAD notifier to adopt any callbacks that were posted by CPU_DYING notifiers, however, the Linux kernel has been running with this sort of thing happening for quite some time. So the only thing that qualifies as a regression is the WARN_ON_ONCE(), which this commit removes. Making RCU's CPU_DEAD notifier adopt callbacks posted by CPU_DYING notifiers is a topic for the 3.5 release of the Linux kernel.

By setting loop_max unconditionally to ->nr_running load-balancing could take a lot of time on very long runqueues (hackbench!). So keep the sysctl as max limit of the amount of tasks we'll iterate. Furthermore, the min load filter for migration completely fails with cgroups since inequality in per-cpu state can easily lead to such small loads :/ Furthermore the change to add new tasks to the tail of the queue instead of the head seems to have some effect.. not quite sure I understand why. Combined these fixes solve the huge hackbench regression reported by Tim when hackbench is ran in a cgroup.

This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was). This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event, this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means no stack. The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event. Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report the issue and tested the fix.

The problem was that the buffer of the trace_array was passed to the write function and not the trace array itself. The trace_array can change the buffer when running a latency tracer. If this happens, then the buffer being disabled may not be the buffer currently used by ftrace. This will cause the tracing_on file to become useless. The simple fix is to pass the trace_array to the write function instead of the buffer. Then the actual buffer may be changed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Fortunately the touches are nearly all specific to files just used by the arch in question. The two touches to shared/common files [kernel/irq/debug.h and drivers/pci/Makefile] are trivial to assess as no risk to anyone. Half of them relate to xtensa directly. It was only when I fixed the last xtensa issue that I realized that the arch has been broken for a significant time, and isn't a specific v3.4 regression. So if you wanted, we could leave xtensa lying bleeding in the street for a couple more weeks and queue those for 3.5. But given they are no risk to anyone outside of xtensa, I figured to just leave them in. If you are OK with taking the xtensa fixes, then please pull to get: - one last implicit include uncovered by system.h that is in a file specific to just one powerpc defconfig. (I'd sync'd with BenH). - fix an oversight in the PCI makefile where shared code wasn't being compiled for ARCH=frv - fix a missing include for GPIO in blackfin framebuffer. - audit and tag endif in blackfin ezkit board file, in order to find and fix the misplaced endif masking a block of code. - fix irq/debug.h choice of temporary macro names to be more internal so they don't conflict with names used by xtensa. - fix a reference to an undeclared local var in xtensa's signal.c - fix an implicit bug.h usage in xtensa's asm/io.h uncovered by my removing bug.h from kernel.h - fix xtensa to properly indicate it is using asm-generic/hardirq.h in order to resolve the link error - undefined ack_bad_irq The xtensa still fails final link as my latest binutils does something evil when ld forward-relocates unlikely() blocks, but in theory people who have older/valid toolchains could now use the thing." * 'for-v3.4-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: xtensa: fix build fail on undefined ack_bad_irq blackfin: fix ifdef fustercluck in mach-bf538/boards/ezkit.c blackfin: fix compile error in bfin-lq035q1-fb.c pci: frv architecture needs generic setup-bus infrastructure irq: hide debug macros so they don't collide with others. xtensa: fix build error in xtensa/include/asm/io.h xtensa: fix build failure in xtensa/kernel/signal.c powerpc: fix system.h fallout in sysdev/scom.c [chroma_defconfig]

Similar to boot time, during resume make the oneshot mode setting of the broadcast clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast users.

The broadcast device might be still in SHUTDOWN state when we actually need to use it. That obviously breaks, as set_next_event() is called on a shutdown device. This did not break on x86, but Suresh analyzed it: From the review, most likely on Sven's system we are force enabling the hpet using the pci quirk's method very late. And in this case, hpet_clockevent (which will be global_clock_event) handler can be null, specifically as this platform might not be using deeper c-states and using the reliable APIC timer. Prior to commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', that handler will be set to 'tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast' when we switch the broadcast timer to oneshot mode, even though we don't use it. Post commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', we stopped switching the broadcast mode to oneshot as this is not really needed and his platform's global_clock_event's handler will remain null. While on my SNB laptop, same is set to 'clockevents_handle_noop' because hpet gets enabled very early. (noop handler on my platform set when the early enabled hpet timer gets replaced by the lapic timer). But the commit 'fa4da365bc7772c' tracked the broadcast timer mode in the SW as oneshot, even though it didn't touch the HW timer. During resume however, tick_resume_broadcast() saw the SW broadcast mode as oneshot and actually programmed the broadcast device also into oneshot mode. So this triggered the null pointer de-reference after the hpet wraps around and depending on what the hpet counter is set to. On the normal platforms where hpet gets enabled early we should be seeing a spurious interrupt (in my SNB laptop I see one spurious interrupt after around 5 minutes ;) which is 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time), but that's a separate issue. Enforce the mode setting when trying to set an event.

Linus spotted the clockevent handler being NULL. commit fa4da365b(clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()) tried to fix a problem with the broadcast device setup, which was introduced in commit 77b0d60c5( clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed). The initial commit avoided to set up the broadcast device when no broadcast request bits were set, but that left the broadcast device disfunctional. In consequence deep idle states which need the broadcast device were not woken up. commit fa4da365b tried to fix that by initializing the state of the broadcast facility, but that missed the fact, that nothing initializes the event handler and some other state of the underlying clock event device. The fix is to revert both commits and make only the mode setting of the clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast users. That initializes everything except the low level device mode, but this happens when the broadcast functionality is invoked by deep idle.

This breaks the platforms which need broadcast device oneshot services during deep idle states. tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() thinks that it is in periodic mode and fails to take proper decisions based on the CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_[ENTER, EXIT] notifications during deep idle entry/exit. Fix this by tracking the broadcast device mode as 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT', before leaving the broadcast HW device in shutdown mode if there are no active requests for the moment.

If we reach this point in the loop it means that we crossed a tick boundary since we grabbed the "now" timestamp, so at this point "now" refers to a time in the old jiffy, so using the old value for "now" is incorrect, and is likely to give us a stale jiffies value. In particular, the first time through the loop the tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) call is always a no-op, since the caller, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), will have already called tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) with that "now" value. Note that tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() already uses the correct approach: when we notice we cross a jiffy boundary, grab a new timestamp with ktime_get(), and *then* update jiffies.
