Enabled on Intel CPUs for now. Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0 assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86 architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be serviced on the BSP. It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that allows the automatic testing of this feature. The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a multi-socket system. Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this, because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to the freshly powered up CPU#0. Future patches for this are planned, once such a platform exists.

This is to hightlight the priorities between the two callbacks in case people may overlook the order. Ideally the priorities should be defined in macro/enum instead of fixed values. To do that, a seperate patchset may be pushed which will touch serveral other generic files and is out of scope of this patchset.

This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to be kept on regressions. For that reason the new load average is only limited to group scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and speed up things a bit. Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space execution." * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (33 commits) Revert "sched/autogroup: Fix crash on reboot when autogroup is disabled" cputime: Comment cputime's adjusting code cputime: Consolidate cputime adjustment code cputime: Rename thread_group_times to thread_group_cputime_adjusted cputime: Move thread_group_cputime() to sched code vtime: Warn if irqs aren't disabled on system time accounting APIs vtime: No need to disable irqs on vtime_account() vtime: Consolidate a bit the ctx switch code vtime: Explicitly account pending user time on process tick vtime: Remove the underscore prefix invasion sched/autogroup: Fix crash on reboot when autogroup is disabled cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooks kvm: Directly account vtime to system on guest switch vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafe vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header file sched: Describe CFS load-balancer sched: Introduce temporary FAIR_GROUP_SCHED dependency for load-tracking sched: Make __update_entity_runnable_avg() fast sched: Update_cfs_shares at period edge ...

Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is a special case because pending user and system time accounting there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.

With both patches applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer dereference due to 800d4d30 not allowing autogroup to move things, and 8323f26ce making that the only way to switch runqueues. Remove most of the (dysfunctional) knobs and turn the remaining sched_autogroup_enabled knob readonly. If the user fiddles with cgroups hereafter, once tasks are moved, autogroup won't mess with them again unless they call setsid(). No knobs, no glitz, nada, just a cute little thing folks can turn on if they don't want to muck about with cgroups and/or systemd.

However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry and softirq entry: * Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle. * The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time already flushed from the hardirq entry. In the other cases we always account to system/irq time: * On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time. * On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time. To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account() and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call vtime_account_system(). CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting as well in the future.

While this can be naturally updated for tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for the load contributed by blocked task entities. This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load: blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b) Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for their decay, we instead observe that: runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute: y*runnable_load(t). This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating: blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq) Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.

With the load for a given cfs_rq then being the sum of its children. To do this we represent the historical contribution to runnable average within each trailing 1024us of execution as the coefficients of a geometric series. We can express this for a given task t as: runnable_sum(t) = \Sum u_i * y^i, runnable_avg_period(t) = \Sum 1024 * y^i load(t) = weight_t * runnable_sum(t) / runnable_avg_period(t) Where: u_i is the usage in the last i`th 1024us period (approximately 1ms) ~ms and y is chosen such that y^k = 1/2. We currently choose k to be 32 which roughly translates to about a sched period.

This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file), as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity check. The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it. If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading the file. The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer. By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from happening. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.6 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
