2017-11-28rcu: Simplify rcu_eqs_{enter,exit}() non-idle task debug codePaul E. McKenney
The code that checks for non-idle non-nohz_idle-usermode tasks invoking rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() prints a considerable quantity of helpful information. However, these checks fire rarely, so the extra complexity is no longer worth it. This commit therefore replaces this debug code with simple WARN_ON_ONCE() statements. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-28rcu: Fold rcu_eqs_exit_common() into rcu_eqs_exit()Paul E. McKenney
There is now only one call to rcu_eqs_exit_common() and there is no other reason to keep it separate. This commit therefore inlines it into its sole call site, saving a few lines of code in the process. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2017-11-28rcu: Avoid ->dynticks_nesting store tearingPaul E. McKenney
Although ->dynticks_nesting is updated only by process level, it is accessed from hardirq to check for interrupt-from-idle quiescent states. Store tearing is thus possible, so this commit applies WRITE_ONCE() to ->dynticks_nesting stores. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-28rcu: Stop duplicating lockdep checks in RCU's idle-entry codePaul E. McKenney

2017-11-28rcu: Shrink ->dynticks_{nmi_,}nesting from long long to longPaul E. McKenney
Because the ->dynticks_nesting field now only contains the process-based nesting level instead of a value encoding both the process nesting level and the irq "nesting" level, we no longer need a long long, even on 32-bit systems. This commit therefore changes both the ->dynticks_nesting and ->dynticks_nmi_nesting fields to long. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2017-11-27rcu: Eliminate rcu_irq_enter_disabled()Paul E. McKenney
Now that the irq path uses the rcu_nmi_{enter,exit}() algorithm, rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() may be used from any context. There is thus no need for rcu_irq_enter_disabled() and for the checks using it. This commit therefore eliminates rcu_irq_enter_disabled(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-27rcu: Make ->dynticks_nesting be a simple counterPaul E. McKenney
Now that ->dynticks_nesting counts only process-level dyntick-idle entry and exit, there is no need for the elaborate segmented counter with its guard fields and overflow checking. This commit therefore makes ->dynticks_nesting be a simple counter. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-27rcu: Define rcu_irq_{enter,exit}() in terms of rcu_nmi_{enter,exit}()Paul E. McKenney
RCU currently uses two different mechanisms for tracking irqs and NMIs. This is unnecessary complexity: Given that NMIs can nest and given that RCU's tracking handles such nesting, the NMI tracking mechanism can also be used to track irqs. This commit therefore defines rcu_irq_enter() in terms of rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() in terms of rcu_nmi_exit(). Unfortunately, callers must still distinguish between the irq and NMI functions because additional actions are taken when an irq interrupts idle or nohz_full usermode execution, and these actions cannot always be taken from NMI handlers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-27rcu: Clamp ->dynticks_nmi_nesting at eqs entry/exitPaul E. McKenney
In preparation for merging dyntick-idle irq handling into the NMI algorithm, clamp ->dynticks_nmi_nesting value to allow for interrupts that enter but never leave and vice versa. It is important that the clamping happen outside of the extended quiescent state. Otherwise, there will be short windows where irqs and NMIs fail to convince RCU to start watching. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-27rcu: Move rcu_nmi_{enter,exit}() to prepare for consolidationPaul E. McKenney
This is a code-motion-only commit that prepares to define rcu_irq_enter() in terms of rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() in terms of rcu_irq_exit(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-27rcu: Reduce dyntick-idle state spacePaul E. McKenney
Both extended-quiescent-state entry and exit first update the nesting counter and then adjust the dyntick-idle state. This means that there are four states: (1) Both nesting and dyntick idle indicate idle, (2) Nesting indicates idle but dyntick idle does not, (3) Nesting indicates non-idle and dyntick idle does not, and (4) Both nesting and dyntick idle indicate non-idle. This commit simplifies the state space by eliminating #3, reversing the order of updates on exit from extended quiescent state. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-27rcu: Avoid ->dynticks_nmi_nesting store tearingPaul E. McKenney
NMIs can nest, and store tearing could in theory happen on carries from one byte to the next. This commit therefore adds the WRITE_ONCE() macros preventing this. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-27sched/isolation: Introduce housekeeping flagsFrederic Weisbecker
Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler isolation without NOHZ_FULL. So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they always make sense together.

2017-10-19rcu: Suppress lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaintsPaul E. McKenney
RCU priority boosting uses rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked() to initialize an rt_mutex structure in locked state held by some other task. When that other task releases it, lockdep complains (quite accurately, but a bit uselessly) that the other task never acquired it. This complaint can suppress other, more helpful, lockdep complaints, and in any case it is a false positive. This commit therefore switches from rt_mutex_unlock() to rt_mutex_futex_unlock(), thereby avoiding the lockdep annotations. Of course, if lockdep ever learns about rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked(), addtional adjustments will be required. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This in turn requires that sched_show_task() be exported to GPL modules, so this commit makes that change as well. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-10-09rcutorture: Add interrupt-disable capability to stall-warning testsPaul E. McKenney
When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter, it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally generate an RCU CPU stall warning message. However, there are test scenarios that need the stalling CPU to have interrupts disabled. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel boot parameter that causes the stalling CPU to disable interrupts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-10-09rcu: Suppress RCU CPU stall warnings while dumping tracePaul E. McKenney
Currently, RCU emits Suppress RCU CPU stall warnings during its automatically initiated ftrace_dump() calls after detecting an error condition, which can result in excessively excessive console output and lost trace events. This commit therefore suppresses RCU CPU stall warnings across any of these ftrace_dump() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-10-09rcu: Turn off tracing before dumping tracePaul E. McKenney
Currently, RCU allows tracing to continue when it automatically does ftrace_dump() after detecting an error condition, which can result in excessively large traces and lost trace events. This commit therefore does a tracing_off() before any of these ftrace_dump() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-10-09rcu: Make RCU CPU stall warnings check for irq-disabled CPUsPaul E. McKenney
One common question upon seeing an RCU CPU stall warning is "did the stalled CPUs have interrupts disabled?" However, the current stall warnings are silent on this point. This commit therefore uses irq_work to check whether stalled CPUs still respond to IPIs, and flags this state in the RCU CPU stall warning console messages.

2017-10-09sched,rcu: Make cond_resched() provide RCU quiescent statePaul E. McKenney
There is some confusion as to which of cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu_qs() should be added to long in-kernel loops. This commit therefore eliminates the decision by adding RCU quiescent states to cond_resched(). This commit also simplifies the code that used to interact with cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and that now interacts with cond_resched(), to reduce its overhead. This reduction is necessary to allow the heavier-weight cond_resched_rcu_qs() mechanism to be invoked everywhere that cond_resched() is invoked. Part of that reduction in overhead converts the jiffies_till_sched_qs kernel parameter to read-only at runtime, thus eliminating the need for bounds checking.

2017-10-09rcu: Create call_rcu_tasks() kthread at boot timePaul E. McKenney
Currently the call_rcu_tasks() kthread is created upon first invocation of call_rcu_tasks(). This has the advantage of avoiding creation if there are never any invocations of call_rcu_tasks() and of synchronize_rcu_tasks(), but it requires an unreliable heuristic to determine when it is safe to create the kthread. For example, it is not safe to create the kthread when call_rcu_tasks() is invoked with a spinlock held, but there is no good way to detect this in !PREEMPT kernels. This commit therefore creates this kthread unconditionally at core_initcall() time. If you don't want this kthread created, then build with CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=n. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The pending-callbacks check in rcu_prepare_for_idle() is backwards. It should accelerate if there are pending callbacks, but the check rather uselessly accelerates only if there are no callbacks.

2017-10-03rcu: Remove extraneous READ_ONCE()s from rcu_irq_{enter,exit}()Paul E. McKenney
The read of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting in rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() is currently protected with READ_ONCE(). However, this protection is unnecessary because (1) ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is updated only by the current CPU, (2) Although NMI handlers can update this field, they reset it back to its old value before return, and (3) Interrupts are disabled, so nothing else can modify it. The value of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is thus effectively constant, and so no protection is required. This commit therefore removes the READ_ONCE() protection from these two accesses.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Stack tracing and RCU has been having issues with each other and lockdep has been pointing out constant problems. The changes have been going into the stack tracer, but it has been discovered that the problem isn't with the stack tracer itself, but it is with calling save_stack_trace() from within the internals of RCU. The stack tracer is the one that can trigger the issue the easiest, but examining the problem further, it could also happen from a WARN() in the wrong place, or even if an NMI happened in this area and it did an rcu_read_lock(). The critical area is where RCU is not watching. Which can happen while going to and from idle, or bringing up or taking down a CPU. The final fix was to put the protection in kernel_text_address() as it is the one that requires RCU to be watching while doing the stack trace. To make this work properly, Paul had to allow rcu_irq_enter() happen after rcu_nmi_enter(). This should have been done anyway, since an NMI can page fault (reading vmalloc area), and a page fault triggers rcu_irq_enter(). One patch is just a consolidation of code so that the fix only needed to be done in one location" * tag 'trace-v4.14-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Remove RCU work arounds from stack tracer extable: Enable RCU if it is not watching in kernel_text_address() extable: Consolidate *kernel_text_address() functions rcu: Allow for page faults in NMI handlers
2017-09-23rcu: Allow for page faults in NMI handlersPaul E. McKenney
A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in order to allow RCU read-side critical sections in the exception handler when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU. This works, at least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler. In that case, rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state, which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state. This will in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side critical sections. This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state. This in turn should make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.

2017-09-08treewide: make "nr_cpu_ids" unsignedAlexey Dobriyan
First, number of CPUs can't be negative number. Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following cases: 1) kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X)); "int" has to be sign extended to size_t. 2) while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids) MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV. Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

The rcu_idle_exit() and rcu_idle_enter() functions are exported because they were originally used by RCU_NONIDLE(), which was intended to be usable from modules. However, RCU_NONIDLE() now instead uses rcu_irq_enter_irqson() and rcu_irq_exit_irqson(), which are not exported, and there have been no complaints.
