In theory, this implies that the check for "in_irq() || in_serving_softirq()" must always fail, so that in theory this check could be removed entirely. In practice, this commit wraps this condition with a WARN_ON_ONCE(). If this warning never triggers, then the condition will be removed entirely. [ paulmck: And one way of triggering the WARN_ON() is if a scheduling clock interrupt occurs in an RCU read-side critical section, setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS, which is handled by rcu_read_unlock_special(). Updated this commit to return if only that bit was set. ] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

To aid debugging, this patch introduces a rcu_callback_map that is used to tie the inappropriate voluntary context switch back to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback.

In the CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT case, this means that the last element should be filled in from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF (or from the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter, if provided) and that the remaining elements should be filled in from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT. Unfortunately, the current code in rcu_init_levelspread() takes the opposite approach, placing CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF in the zero-th element and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT in the remaining elements. For typical power-of-two values, this generates odd but functional rcu_node trees. However, other values, for example CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=2, generate trees that can leave some CPUs out of the grace-period computation, resulting in too-short grace periods and therefore a broken RCU implementation. This commit therefore fixes rcu_init_levelspread() to set the last ->levelspread[] array element from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF and the remaining elements from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, thus generating the intended rcu_node trees.

held, but in NOCB mode, call_rcu() will with high probability invoke the scheduler -- which just might want to use its locks. The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The case where it does not is where the condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution. This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event() returns). Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case. This commit also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers relied on by wait_event() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This can help move the grace period forward in some situations, but it would be even better to do this -before- the RCU CPU stall warning. This commit therefore causes resched_cpu() to be called every five jiffies once the system is halfway to an RCU CPU stall warning. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Hence pass a pointer to alloc_large_system_hash() which will contain the hash shift when the function returns. Afterwards correctly set futex_hashsize. Fixes a crash on s390 where the requested allocation size was 4MB but only 1MB was allocated.

While the hash bucket's plist head is a cheap way of knowing this, we cannot rely 100% on it as there is a racy window between the futex_wait call and when the task is actually added to the plist. To this end, we couple it with the spinlock check as tasks trying to enter the critical region are most likely potential waiters that will be added to the plist, thus preventing tasks sleeping forever if wakers don't acknowledge all possible waiters. Furthermore, the futex ordering guarantees are preserved, ensuring that waiters either observe the changed user space value before blocking or is woken by a concurrent waker. For wakers, this is done by relying on the barriers in get_futex_key_refs() -- for archs that do not have implicit mb in atomic_inc(), we explicitly add them through a new futex_get_mm function. For waiters we rely on the fact that spin_lock calls already update the head counter, so spinners are visible even if the lock hasn't been acquired yet.

Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and different futexes hash to adjacent buckets. This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of this patch. Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the same cache line. Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one. For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server: +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | threads | baseline (ops/sec) | aligned-only (ops/sec) | large table (ops/sec) | large table+aligned (ops/sec) | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ |     512 |              32426 | 50531  (+55.8%)        | 255274  (+687.2%)     | 292553  (+802.2%)             | |     256 |              65360 | 99588  (+52.3%)        | 443563  (+578.6%)     | 508088  (+677.3%)             | |     128 |             125635 | 200075 (+59.2%)        | 742613  (+491.1%)     | 835452  (+564.9%)             | |      80 |             193559 | 323425 (+67.1%)        | 1028147 (+431.1%)     | 1130304 (+483.9%)             | |      64 |             247667 | 443740 (+79.1%)        | 997300  (+302.6%)     | 1145494 (+362.5%)             | |      32 |             628412 | 721401 (+14.7%)        | 965996  (+53.7%)      | 1122115 (+78.5%)              | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ Reviewed-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

This commit therefore adds smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations as needed after the RCU lock acquisitions that need to be part of a full-memory-barrier UNLOCK+LOCK. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter case assume both states.

It turns out that in irq_exit() we tell lockdep that the hardirq context ends and then do all kinds of locking afterwards. To fix it, move trace_hardirq_exit() to the very end of irq_exit(), this ensures all locking in tick_irq_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() are properly recorded as happening from hardirq context. This however leads to the 'fun' little problem of running softirqs while in hardirq context. To cure this make the softirq code a little more complex (in the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case). Due to stack swizzling arch dependent trickery we cannot pass an argument to __do_softirq() to tell it if it was done from hardirq context or not; so use a side-band argument. When we do __do_softirq() from hardirq context, 'atomically' flip to softirq context and back, so that no locking goes without being in either hard- or soft-irq context. I didn't find any new problems in mainline using this patch, but it did show the -rt problem.

Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can set the desired value from the .config. The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout, arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

Can we > safely revert that new extra check? The two fundamental things I know we can not allow are: - A shared signal queue aka CLONE_THREAD. Because we compute the pid and uid of the signal when we place it in the queue. - Changing the pid and by extention pid_namespace of an existing process. From a parents perspective there is nothing special about the pid namespace, to deny CLONE_PARENT, because the parent simply won't know or care. From the childs perspective all that is special really are shared signal queues. User mode threading with CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND and tasks in different pid namespaces is almost certainly going to break because it is complicated. But shared signal handlers can look at per thread information to know which pid namespace a process is in, so I don't know of any reason not to support CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND threads at the kernel level. It would be absolutely stupid to implement but that is a different thing. So hmm. Because it can do no harm, and because it is a regression let's remove the CLONE_PARENT check and send it stable.

It identified commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load. Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case. wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the historical behaviour.

It's an ugly hack working around a deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device removal paths through freezer which was made more reproducible by writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago. The bug has nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to backport. After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue. There are few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active() instead. All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed, followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support, hopefully. Others are device-specific fixes.

This is the latest occurrence. During resume, libata rescans all the ports and revalidates all pre-existing devices. If it determines that a device has gone missing, the device is removed from the system which involves invalidating block device and flushing bdi while holding driver core layer locks. Unfortunately, this can race with the rest of device resume. Because freezable kthreads and workqueues are thawed after device resume is complete and block device removal depends on freezable workqueues and kthreads (e.g. bdi_wq, jbd2) to make progress, this can lead to deadlock - block device removal can't proceed because kthreads are frozen and kthreads can't be thawed because device resume is blocked behind block device removal. 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue") made this particular deadlock scenario more visible but the underlying problem has always been there - the original forker task and jbd2 are freezable too. In fact, this is highly likely just one of many possible deadlock scenarios given that freezer behaves as a big kernel lock and we don't have any debug mechanism around it. I believe the right thing to do is getting rid of freezable kthreads and workqueues. This is something fundamentally broken. For now, implement a funny workaround in libata - just avoid doing block device hot[un]plug while the system is frozen. Kernel engineering at its finest. :( v2: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pm_freezing) for cases where libata is built as a module. v3: Comment updated and polling interval changed to 10ms as suggested by Rafael. v4: Add #ifdef CONFIG_FREEZER around the hack as pm_freezing is not defined when FREEZER is not configured thus breaking build.

It hurts 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, where sizeof(spinlock_t) == 8, but it easily fits into struct page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

The problem is that the profiler only initializes the online CPUs, and not possible CPUs. This causes issues if the user takes CPUs online or offline while the profiler is running. If we online a CPU after starting the profiler, we lose all the trace information on the CPU going online. If we offline a CPU after running a test and start a new test, it will not clear the old data from that CPU.

This implementation has two problems: - If we online a CPU after we enable the function profile, and then run the test, we will lose the trace information on that CPU. Steps to reproduce: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # cd <debugfs>/tracing/ # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # run test - If we offline a CPU before we enable the function profile, we will not clear the trace information when we enable the function profile. It will trouble the users. Steps to reproduce: # cd <debugfs>/tracing/ # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # run test # cat trace_stat/function* # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # echo 0 > function_profile_enabled # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # cat trace_stat/function* # run test # cat trace_stat/function* So it is better that we initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu every time we enable the function profile instead of just the online ones.

Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq. This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this leak makes RT balancing unusable. The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a throttle rt_rq. The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less. The patch below fixes the problem.

One impact of this is that a task selecting a runqueue may consider idle CPUs that are not cache siblings as candidates for running. Tasks are then running on CPUs that are not cache hot. This was found through bisection where ebizzy threads were not seeing equal performance and it looked like a scheduling fairness issue. This patch mitigates but does not completely fix the problem on all machines tested implying there may be an additional bug or a common root cause. Here are the average range of performance seen by individual ebizzy threads.

The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.
