2015-03-27clockevents: Manage device's state separately for the coreViresh Kumar
'enum clock_event_mode' is used for two purposes today: - to pass mode to the driver of clockevent device::set_mode(). - for managing state of the device for clockevents core. For supporting new modes/states we have moved away from the legacy set_mode() callback to new per-mode/state callbacks. New modes/states shouldn't be exposed to the legacy (now OBSOLOTE) callbacks and so we shouldn't add new states to 'enum clock_event_mode'. Lets have separate enums for the two use cases mentioned above. Keep using the earlier enum for legacy set_mode() callback and mark it OBSOLETE. And add another enum to clearly specify the possible states of a clockevent device. This also renames the newly added per-mode callbacks to reflect state changes. We haven't got rid of 'mode' member of 'struct clock_event_device' as it is used by some of the clockevent drivers and it would automatically die down once we migrate those drivers to the new interface. It ('mode') is only updated now for the drivers using the legacy interface.

2015-03-27sched: Improve load balancing in the presence of idle CPUsPreeti U Murthy
When a CPU is kicked to do nohz idle balancing, it wakes up to do load balancing on itself, followed by load balancing on behalf of idle CPUs. But it may end up with load after the load balancing attempt on itself. This aborts nohz idle balancing. As a result several idle CPUs are left without tasks till such a time that an ILB CPU finds it unfavorable to pull tasks upon itself. This delays spreading of load across idle CPUs and worse, clutters only a few CPUs with tasks. The effect of the above problem was observed on an SMT8 POWER server with 2 levels of numa domains. Busy loops equal to number of cores were spawned. Since load balancing on fork/exec is discouraged across numa domains, all busy loops would start on one of the numa domains. However it was expected that eventually one busy loop would run per core across all domains due to nohz idle load balancing. But it was observed that it took as long as 10 seconds to spread the load across numa domains. Further investigation showed that this was a consequence of the following: 1. An ILB CPU was chosen from the first numa domain to trigger nohz idle load balancing [Given the experiment, upto 6 CPUs per core could be potentially idle in this domain.] 2. However the ILB CPU would call load_balance() on itself before initiating nohz idle load balancing. 3. Given cores are SMT8, the ILB CPU had enough opportunities to pull tasks from its sibling cores to even out load. 4. Now that the ILB CPU was no longer idle, it would abort nohz idle load balancing As a result the opportunities to spread load across numa domains were lost until such a time that the cores within the first numa domain had equal number of tasks among themselves. This is a pretty bad scenario, since the cores within the first numa domain would have as many as 4 tasks each, while cores in the neighbouring numa domains would all remain idle. Fix this, by checking if a CPU was woken up to do nohz idle load balancing, before it does load balancing upon itself. This way we allow idle CPUs across the system to do load balancing which results in quicker spread of load, instead of performing load balancing within the local sched domain hierarchy of the ILB CPU alone under circumstances such as above.

2015-03-27sched: Optimize freq invariant accountingPeter Zijlstra
Currently the freq invariant accounting (in __update_entity_runnable_avg() and sched_rt_avg_update()) get the scale factor from a weak function call, this means that even for archs that default on their implementation the compiler cannot see into this function and optimize the extra scaling math away. This is sad, esp. since its a 64-bit multiplication which can be quite costly on some platforms. So replace the weak function with #ifdef and __always_inline goo. This is not quite as nice from an arch support PoV but should at least result in compile time errors if done wrong.

2015-03-27sched: Move CFS tasks to CPUs with higher capacityVincent Guittot
When a CPU is used to handle a lot of IRQs or some RT tasks, the remaining capacity for CFS tasks can be significantly reduced. Once we detect such situation by comparing cpu_capacity_orig and cpu_capacity, we trig an idle load balance to check if it's worth moving its tasks on an idle CPU. It's worth trying to move the task before the CPU is fully utilized to minimize the preemption by irq or RT tasks. Once the idle load_balance has selected the busiest CPU, it will look for an active load balance for only two cases: - There is only 1 task on the busiest CPU. - We haven't been able to move a task of the busiest rq. A CPU with a reduced capacity is included in the 1st case, and it's worth to actively migrate its task if the idle CPU has got more available capacity for CFS tasks. This test has been added in need_active_balance. As a sidenote, this will not generate more spurious ilb because we already trig an ilb if there is more than 1 busy cpu. If this cpu is the only one that has a task, we will trig the ilb once for migrating the task. The nohz_kick_needed function has been cleaned up a bit while adding the new test env.src_cpu and env.src_rq must be set unconditionnally because they are used in need_active_balance which is called even if busiest->nr_running equals 1 Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Morten.Rasmussen@arm.com Cc: dietmar.eggemann@arm.com Cc: efault@gmx.de Cc: kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: linaro-kernel@lists.linaro.org Cc: nicolas.pitre@linaro.org Cc: preeti@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: riel@redhat.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1425052454-25797-12-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2015-03-27sched: Replace capacity_factor by usageVincent Guittot
The scheduler tries to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle by assuming that a task's load is SCHED_LOAD_SCALE and a CPU's capacity is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE. 'struct sg_lb_stats:group_capacity_factor' divides the capacity of the group by SCHED_LOAD_SCALE to estimate how many task can run in the group. Then, it compares this value with the sum of nr_running to decide if the group is overloaded or not. But the 'group_capacity_factor' concept is hardly working for SMT systems, it sometimes works for big cores but fails to do the right thing for little cores. Below are two examples to illustrate the problem that this patch solves: 1- If the original capacity of a CPU is less than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (640 as an example), a group of 3 CPUS will have a max capacity_factor of 2 (div_round_closest(3x640/1024) = 2) which means that it will be seen as overloaded even if we have only one task per CPU. 2 - If the original capacity of a CPU is greater than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (1512 as an example), a group of 4 CPUs will have a capacity_factor of 4 (at max and thanks to the fix [0] for SMT system that prevent the apparition of ghost CPUs) but if one CPU is fully used by rt tasks (and its capacity is reduced to nearly nothing), the capacity factor of the group will still be 4 (div_round_closest(3*1512/1024) = 5 which is cap to 4 with [0]). So, this patch tries to solve this issue by removing capacity_factor and replacing it with the 2 following metrics: - The available CPU's capacity for CFS tasks which is already used by load_balance(). - The usage of the CPU by the CFS tasks. For the latter, utilization_avg_contrib has been re-introduced to compute the usage of a CPU by CFS tasks. 'group_capacity_factor' and 'group_has_free_capacity' has been removed and replaced by 'group_no_capacity'. We compare the number of task with the number of CPUs and we evaluate the level of utilization of the CPUs to define if a group is overloaded or if a group has capacity to handle more tasks. For SD_PREFER_SIBLING, a group is tagged overloaded if it has more than 1 task so it will be selected in priority (among the overloaded groups). Since [1], SD_PREFER_SIBLING is no more concerned by the computation of 'load_above_capacity' because local is not overloaded.

2015-03-27sched: Calculate CPU's usage statistic and put it into struct ↵Vincent Guittot
sg_lb_stats::group_usage Monitor the usage level of each group of each sched_domain level. The usage is the portion of cpu_capacity_orig that is currently used on a CPU or group of CPUs. We use the utilization_load_avg to evaluate the usage level of each group. The utilization_load_avg only takes into account the running time of the CFS tasks on a CPU with a maximum value of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE when the CPU is fully utilized. Nevertheless, we must cap utilization_load_avg which can be temporally greater than SCHED_LOAD_SCALE after the migration of a task on this CPU and until the metrics are stabilized. The utilization_load_avg is in the range [0..SCHED_LOAD_SCALE] to reflect the running load on the CPU whereas the available capacity for the CFS task is in the range [0..cpu_capacity_orig]. In order to test if a CPU is fully utilized by CFS tasks, we have to scale the utilization in the cpu_capacity_orig range of the CPU to get the usage of the latter. The usage can then be compared with the available capacity (ie cpu_capacity) to deduct the usage level of a CPU. The frequency scaling invariance of the usage is not taken into account in this patch, it will be solved in another patch which will deal with frequency scaling invariance on the utilization_load_avg.

2015-03-27sched: Make scale_rt invariant with frequencyVincent Guittot
The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity must also be invariant with frequency scaling. A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for computing scale_rt_capacity. In sched_rt_avg_update(), we now scale the RT execution time like below: rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by: scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE * available / total with available = total - rq->rt_avg This has been been optimized in current code by: scale_rt_capacity = available / (total >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) But we can also developed the equation like below: scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - ((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / total) and we can optimize the equation by removing SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT shift in the computation of rq->rt_avg and scale_rt_capacity(). so rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() and scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - (rq->rt_avg / total) arch_scale_frequency_capacity() will be called in the hot path of the scheduler which implies to have a short and efficient function. As an example, arch_scale_frequency_capacity() should return a cached value that is updated periodically outside of the hot path.

2015-03-27sched: Make sched entity usage tracking scale-invariantMorten Rasmussen
Apply frequency scale-invariance correction factor to usage tracking. Each segment of the running_avg_sum geometric series is now scaled by the current frequency so the utilization_avg_contrib of each entity will be invariant with frequency scaling. As a result, utilization_load_avg which is the sum of utilization_avg_contrib, becomes invariant too. So the usage level that is returned by get_cpu_usage(), stays relative to the max frequency as the cpu_capacity which is is compared against. Then, we want the keep the load tracking values in a 32-bit type, which implies that the max value of {runnable|running}_avg_sum must be lower than 2^32/88761=48388 (88761 is the max weigth of a task). As LOAD_AVG_MAX = 47742, arch_scale_freq_capacity() must return a value less than (48388/47742) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT = 1037 (SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY = 1024). So we define the range to [0..SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY] in order to avoid overflow.

Add new statistics which reflect the average time a task is running on the CPU and the sum of these running time of the tasks on a runqueue. The latter is named utilization_load_avg. This patch is based on the usage metric that was proposed in the 1st versions of the per-entity load tracking patchset by Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> but that has be removed afterwards. This version differs from the original one in the sense that it's not linked to task_group. The rq's utilization_load_avg will be used to check if a rq is overloaded or not instead of trying to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle.

2015-03-27timers, sched/clock: Optimize cache line usageDaniel Thompson
Currently sched_clock(), a very hot code path, is not optimized to minimise its cache profile.

Some hotpath data is missing from struct clock_data and is marked __read_mostly (which more or less guarantees it will not share a cache line with cd). This patch corrects these problems by extracting all hotpath data into a separate structure and using ____cacheline_aligned to ensure the hotpath uses a single (64 byte) cache line.

2015-03-27timers, sched/clock: Match scope of read and write seqcountsDaniel Thompson
Currently the scope of the raw_write_seqcount_begin/end() in sched_clock_register() far exceeds the scope of the read section in sched_clock(). This gives the impression of safety during cursory review but achieves little. Note that this is likely to be a latent issue at present because sched_clock_register() is typically called before we enable interrupts, however the issue does risk bugs being needlessly introduced as the code evolves. This patch fixes the problem by increasing the scope of the read locking performed by sched_clock() to cover all data modified by sched_clock_register. We also improve clarity by moving writes to struct clock_data that do not impact sched_clock() outside of the critical section.

Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226 Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config: - 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi smp_call_function_many - native_flush_tlb_others - 99.85% flush_tlb_page ptep_clear_flush try_to_unmap_one rmap_walk try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page - handle_mm_fault - 99.73% __do_page_fault trace_do_page_fault do_async_page_fault + async_page_fault 0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi generic_exec_single smp_call_function_single This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and slows the PTE scanner.

2015-03-23sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pullingSteven Rostedt
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to 500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the runqueue locks. Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to the pulling of RT tasks. The test that was run was the following: cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100 This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures its latencies. cyclictest is maintained at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried to grab that task in a thundering herd way. To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait time escalated. I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity. Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the push/pull algorithm still works fine. With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run. Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds. I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled by default. When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push. To enabled or disable this at run time: # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug # echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features or # echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the same problem. The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

2015-03-23timers/tick/broadcast-hrtimer: Fix suspicious RCU usage in idle loopPreeti U Murthy
The hrtimer mode of broadcast queues hrtimers in the idle entry path so as to wakeup cpus in deep idle states. The associated call graph is : cpuidle_idle_call() |____ clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, ....)) |_____tick_broadcast_set_event() |____clockevents_program_event() |____bc_set_next() The hrtimer_{start/cancel} functions call into tracing which uses RCU. But it is not legal to call into RCU in cpuidle because it is one of the quiescent states. Hence protect this region with RCU_NONIDLE which informs RCU that the cpu is momentarily non-idle. As an aside it is helpful to point out that the clock event device that is programmed here is not a per-cpu clock device; it is a pseudo clock device, used by the broadcast framework alone. The per-cpu clock device programming never goes through bc_set_next().

2015-03-23lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logicPeter Zijlstra
Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class(). Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still better plug the hole. Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments. Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and comment the requirements.

2015-03-23sched: Fix RLIMIT_RTTIME when PI-boosting to RTBrian Silverman
When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again.

2015-03-17livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modulesPetr Mladek
There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules. It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are possible: 1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below for an example. 2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid memory access. This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module. The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called. New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore the module when the value is false. Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get patched. Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes. If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code. See below for an example. Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed. It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do once the patch is disabled. Alternative solutions: ====================== + reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly + wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean + stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock; also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied) + always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions in the future development + add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many" locations Example of patch stacking breakage: =================================== The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects. For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b() where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like: a() b() P1 a1() b1() P2 a2() b2() P3 a3() b3(3) If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled. The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this order: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1) ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1) , so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used. Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race: CPU0 CPU1 load_module(M) complete_formation() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch(P3); klp_enable_patch(P3); # STATE 1 klp_module_notify(M) klp_module_notify_coming(P1); klp_module_notify_coming(P2); klp_module_notify_coming(P3); # STATE 2 The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks: STATE1: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3); STATE2: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3); therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore because they were the last added. Example of the race with going modules: ======================================= CPU0 CPU1 delete_module() #SYSCALL try_stop_module() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch() klp_enable_patch() #save place to switch universe b() # from module that is going a() # from core (patched) mod->exit(); Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit(). If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING, it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.
