| | | * | | | | | | | | | | rcu: Improve RCU-tasks energy efficiencyPaul E. McKenney2014-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current RCU-tasks implementation uses strict polling to detect callback arrivals. This works quite well, but is not so good for energy efficiency. This commit therefore replaces the strict polling with a wait queue. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
| | | * | | | | | | | | | | rcu: Add stall-warning checks for RCU-tasksPaul E. McKenney2014-09-07

The actual time is controlled by the boot/sysfs parameter rcu_task_stall_timeout, with values less than or equal to zero disabling the stall warnings. The default value is ten minutes, which means that the tasks that have not yet responded will get their stacks dumped every ten minutes, until they pass through a voluntary context switch.

This means that an almost-exited task might be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited on by rcu_tasks_kthread(). This commit fixes this bug by adding an srcu_struct. An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after doing the final preempt_disable(). This means that rcu_tasks_kthread() can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched() to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.

In some cases, this requires instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping. This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce IPI usage. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the idle tasks. Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs. Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt. This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant updaters. This assumption permits significant simplifications, including a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not yet passed through a quiescent state. If experience shows this assumption to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added. Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit therefore adds a cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers of callbacks. One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between floods. The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency responses to callback flooding. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This failure can result in callbacks that are posted during early boot getting stranded on nxtlist for CPUs whose no-CBs property becomes apparent late, and there can also be spurious warnings about offline CPUs posting callbacks. This commit fixes these problems by adding an early-boot rcu_init_nohz() that properly initializes the no-CBs CPUs. Note that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y or with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n do not exhibit this bug. Neither do kernels booted without the nohz_full= boot parameter. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

(all threads wait on non-zero gp_flags condition) * Is there no thread created for this flavour, hence nothing to wake up? If any one of these condition is true, we do not call wake_up(). It was found that there are quite a few avoidable wake ups both during idle time and under stress induced by rcutorture. Idle: Total:66000, unnecessary:66000, case1:61827, case2:66000, case3:0 Total:68000, unnecessary:68000, case1:63696, case2:68000, case3:0 rcutorture: Total:254000, unnecessary:254000, case1:199913, case2:254000, case3:0 Total:256000, unnecessary:256000, case1:201784, case2:256000, case3:0 Here case{1-3} are the cases listed above. We can avoid these wake ups by using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() to conditionally wake up the grace period kthreads. There is a comment about an implied barrier supplied by the wake_up() logic. This barrier is necessary for the awakened thread to see the updated ->gp_flags. This flag is always being updated with the root node lock held. Also, the awakened thread tries to acquire the root node lock before reading ->gp_flags because of which there is proper ordering. Hence this commit tries to avoid calling wake_up() whenever we can by using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function.

The trampoline logic of 3.17 required a descriptor for every function that is registered to be traced and uses a trampoline. Currently, only the function graph tracer uses a trampoline, but if you were to trace all 32,000 (give or take a few thousand) functions with the function graph tracer, it would create 32,000 descriptors to let us know that there's a trampoline associated with it. This takes up a bit of memory when there's a better way to do it. The redesign now reuses the ftrace_ops' (what registers the function graph tracer) hash tables. The hash tables tell ftrace what the tracer wants to trace or doesn't want to trace. There's two of them: one that tells us what to trace, the other tells us what not to trace. If the first one is empty, it means all functions should be traced, otherwise only the ones that are listed should be. The second hash table tells us what not to trace, and if it is empty, all functions may be traced, and if there's any listed, then those should not be traced even if they exist in the first hash table. It took a bit of massaging, but now these hashes can be used to keep track of what has a trampoline and what does not, and allows the ftrace accounting to work. Now we can trace all functions when using the function graph trampoline, and avoid needing to create any special descriptors to hold all the functions that are being traced" * tag 'trace-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Only disable ftrace_enabled to test buffer in selftest ftrace: Add sanity check when unregistering last ftrace_ops kernel: trace_syscalls: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled ftrace: Replace tramp_hash with old_*_hash to save space ftrace: Annotate the ops operation on update ftrace: Grab any ops for a rec for enabled_functions output ftrace: Remove freeing of old_hash from ftrace_hash_move() ftrace: Set callback to ftrace_stub when no ops are registered ftrace: Add helper function ftrace_ops_get_func() ftrace: Add separate function for non recursive callbacks

The easy way to solve this was to add a "tramp_hash" that created a hash entry for every function that a ops uses with a trampoline. But since we can have literally tens of thousands of functions being traced, that means we need tens of thousands of descriptors to map the ops to the function in the hash. This is quite expensive and can cause enabling and disabling the function graph tracer to take some time to start and stop. It can take up to several seconds to disable or enable all functions in the function graph tracer for this reason. The better approach albeit more complex, is to keep track of how ops are being enabled and disabled, and use that along with the counting of the number of ops attached to records, to determive what ops has a trampoline attached to a record at enabling and disabling of tracing. To do this, the tramp_hash has been replaced with an old_filter_hash and old_notrace_hash, which get the copy of the ops filter_hash and notrace_hash respectively. The old hashes is kept until the ops has been modified or removed and the old hashes are used with the logic of the accounting to determine the ops that have the trampoline of a record. The reason this has less of a footprint is due to the trick that an "empty" hash in the filter_hash means "all functions" and an empty hash in the notrace hash means "no functions" in the hash. This is much more efficienct, doesn't have the delay, and takes up much less memory, as we do not need to map all the functions but just figure out which functions are mapped at the time it is enabled or disabled.

This will be needed to remove the tramp_hash, which can grow quite big. The tramp_hash is used to note what functions a ftrace_ops is using a trampoline for. Denoting which ftrace_ops is being modified, will allow us to use the ftrace_ops hashes themselves, which are much smaller as they have a global flag to denote if a ftrace_ops is tracing all functions, as well as a notrace hash if the ftrace_ops is tracing all but a few. The tramp_hash just creates a hash item for every function, which can go into the 10s of thousands if all functions are using the ftrace_ops trampoline.
