2015-09-13perf/core: Define PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interfaceSukadev Bhattiprolu
Define a new PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interface to read a group of counters at once. pmu->start_txn() // Initialize before first event for each event in group pmu->read(event); // Queue each event to be read rc = pmu->commit_txn() // Read/update all queued counters Note that we use this interface with all PMUs. PMUs that implement this interface use the ->read() operation to _queue_ the counters to be read and use ->commit_txn() to actually read all the queued counters at once. PMUs that don't implement PERF_PMU_TXN_READ ignore ->start_txn() and ->commit_txn() and continue to read counters one at a time. Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.

2015-09-13perf/core: Add return value for perf_event_read()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
When we implement the ability to read several counters at once (using the PERF_PMU_TXN_READ transaction interface), perf_event_read() can fail when the 'group' parameter is true (eg: trying to read too many events at once). For now, have perf_event_read() return an integer. Ignore the return value when the 'group' parameter is false.

2015-09-13perf/core: Invert perf_read_group() loopsPeter Zijlstra
In order to enable the use of perf_event_read(.group = true), we need to invert the sibling-child loop nesting of perf_read_group(). Currently we iterate the child list for each sibling, this precludes using group reads. Flip things around so we iterate each group for each child.

2015-09-13perf/core: Split perf_event_read() and perf_event_count()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
perf_event_read() does two things: - call the PMU to read/update the counter value, and - compute the total count of the event and its children Not all callers need both. perf_event_reset() for instance needs the first piece but doesn't need the second. Similarly, when we implement the ability to read a group of events using the transaction interface, we would need the two pieces done independently. Break up perf_event_read() and have it just read/update the counter and have the callers compute the total count if necessary.

2015-09-13perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfacesSukadev Bhattiprolu
Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time. But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction interface to support a "transaction type". The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions, i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch, by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once. Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags' parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

2015-09-13time: Fix timekeeping_freqadjust()'s incorrect use of abs() instead of abs64()John Stultz
The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock frequency over a series of ticks. Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit: dc491596f639 ("timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz") used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of the approximated adjustment to be made. Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()". Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency, which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most easily observed when large adjustments are made). This patch fixes the issue by using abs64() instead.

2015-09-13sched/fair: Optimize per entity utilization trackingPeter Zijlstra
Currently the load_{sum,avg} and util_{sum,avg} tracking is asymmetric in that load tracking gets a 2^10 unit from the weight, but util gets no such factor. This results in more lost bits for util scaling and asymmetric scaling rules. Fix this by removing shifts, such that we gain the 2^10 factor from scaling. There is no risk of overflowing the u32 as the max value is now LOAD_AVG_MAX << 10, which is still well below UINT_MAX. This further entangles the assumption that both LOAD and CAPACITY shifts are the same (and 10) so put in an assertion for that. This fixes the math for the LOAD_RESOLUTION != 0 case.

2015-09-13sched/fair: Make utilization tracking CPU scale-invariantDietmar Eggemann
Besides the existing frequency scale-invariance correction factor, apply CPU scale-invariance correction factor to utilization tracking to compensate for any differences in compute capacity. This could be due to micro-architectural differences (i.e. instructions per seconds) between cpus in HMP systems (e.g. big.LITTLE), and/or differences in the current maximum frequency supported by individual cpus in SMP systems. In the existing implementation utilization isn't comparable between cpus as it is relative to the capacity of each individual CPU. Each segment of the sched_avg.util_sum geometric series is now scaled by the CPU performance factor too so the sched_avg.util_avg of each sched entity will be invariant from the particular CPU of the HMP/SMP system on which the sched entity is scheduled. With this patch, the utilization of a CPU stays relative to the max CPU performance of the fastest CPU in the system. In contrast to utilization (sched_avg.util_sum), load (sched_avg.load_sum) should not be scaled by compute capacity. The utilization metric is based on running time which only makes sense when cpus are _not_ fully utilized (utilization cannot go beyond 100% even if more tasks are added), where load is runnable time which isn't limited by the capacity of the CPU and therefore is a better metric for overloaded scenarios. If we run two nice-0 busy loops on two cpus with different compute capacity their load should be similar since their compute demands are the same. We have to assume that the compute demand of any task running on a fully utilized CPU (no spare cycles = 100% utilization) is high and the same no matter of the compute capacity of its current CPU, hence we shouldn't scale load by CPU capacity.

Bring arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in line with the recent change of its arch_scale_freq_capacity() sibling in commit dfbca41f3479 ("sched: Optimize freq invariant accounting") from weak function to #define to allow inlining of the function. While at it, remove the ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feature as well. With the change to #define there isn't a straightforward way to allow runtime switch between an arch implementation and the default implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() using sched_feature. The default was to use the arch-specific implementation, but only the arm architecture provides one and that is essentially equivalent to the default implementation.

2015-09-13sched/fair: Fix nohz.next_balance updateVincent Guittot
Since commit: d4573c3e1c99 ("sched: Improve load balancing in the presence of idle CPUs") the ILB CPU starts with the idle load balancing of other idle CPUs and finishes with itself in order to speed up the spread of tasks in all idle CPUs. The this_rq->next_balance is still used in nohz_idle_balance() as an intermediate step to gather the shortest next balance before updating nohz.next_balance. But the former has not been updated yet and is likely to be set with the current jiffies. As a result, the nohz.next_balance will be set with current jiffies instead of the real next balance date. This generates spurious kicks of nohz ilde balance. nohz_idle_balance() must set the nohz.next_balance without taking into account this_rq->next_balance which is not updated yet. Then, this_rq will update nohz.next_update with its next_balance once updated and if necessary.

By observing that switched_from_fair() detaches from a runqueue, and switched_to_fair() attaches to a runqueue, we can see that task_move_group_fair() is one followed by the other with flipping the runqueue in between. Therefore extract all the common bits and implement all three functions in terms of them. This should fix a few corner cases wrt. vruntime normalization; where, when we take a task off of a runqueue we convert to an approximation of lag by subtracting min_vruntime, and when placing a task on the a runqueue to the reverse.

2015-09-13sched/fair: Fix switched_to_fair()'s per entity load trackingByungchul Park
Where switched_from_fair() will remove the entity's load from the runqueue, switched_to_fair() does not currently add it back. This means that when a task leaves the fair class for a short duration; say because of PI; we loose its load contribution. This can ripple forward and disturb the load tracking because other operations (enqueue, dequeue) assume its factored in. Only once the runqueue empties will the load tracking recover. When we add it back in, age the per entity average to match up with the runqueue age. This has the obvious problem that if the task leaves the fair class for a significant time, the load will age to 0. Employ the normal migration rule for inter-runqueue moves in task_move_group_fair(). Again, there is the obvious problem of the task migrating while not in the fair class. The alternative solution would be to to omit the chunk in attach_entity_load_avg(), which would effectively reset the timestamp and use whatever avg there was.

2015-09-11sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86)Mathieu Desnoyers
Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU [1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side. The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by this system call are as follows: * Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so) - DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/ - Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/) - Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/) - User-space tracing (http://lttng.org) - Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/) - Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf) - Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189) Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu(). * Direct users of sys_membarrier - core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198) Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect() side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for. To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads: Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu()) Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()) In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()". Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs: Thread A Thread B previous mem accesses previous mem accesses smp_mb() smp_mb() following mem accesses following mem accesses After the change, these pairs become: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they do (2). 1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() follow mem accesses prev mem accesses barrier() follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK, because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in ordering them with respect to its own accesses. 2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full smp_mb() by synchronize_sched(). * Benchmarks On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores) (one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy looping) 1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call. * User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are implied by the scheduler context switches. Results in liburcu: Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers: memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that, sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However, this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace period than signal and memory barrier schemes. Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries, and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application. An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock. This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic. [1] http://urcu.so membarrier(2) man page: MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2) NAME membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads SYNOPSIS #include <linux/membarrier.h> int membarrier(int cmd, int flags); DESCRIPTION The cmd argument is one of the following: MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of supported commands. MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that all running threads have passed through a state where all memory accesses to user-space addresses match program order between entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90 cesses running on the system. This command returns 0. The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions. All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb(): The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered): barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier() barrier() X X O smp_mb() X O O sys_membarrier() O O O RETURN VALUE On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the same value until reboot.

2015-09-10sysctl: fix int -> unsigned long assignments in INT_MIN caseIlya Dryomov
The following if (val < 0) *lvalp = (unsigned long)-val; is incorrect because the compiler is free to assume -val to be positive and use a sign-extend instruction for extending the bit pattern. This is a problem if val == INT_MIN: # echo -2147483648 >/proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level # cat /proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level -18446744071562067968 Cast to unsigned long before negation - that way we first sign-extend and then negate an unsigned, which is well defined.

2015-09-10kexec: export KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE to vmcoreinfoBaoquan He
In x86_64, since v2.6.26 the KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is changed to 512M, and accordingly the MODULES_VADDR is changed to 0xffffffffa0000000. However, in v3.12 Kees Cook introduced kaslr to randomise the location of kernel. And the kernel text mapping addr space is enlarged from 512M to 1G. That means now KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is variable, its value is 512M when kaslr support is not compiled in and 1G when kaslr support is compiled in. Accordingly the MODULES_VADDR is changed too to be: #define MODULES_VADDR (__START_KERNEL_map + KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE) So when kaslr is compiled in and enabled, the kernel text mapping addr space and modules vaddr space need be adjusted. Otherwise makedumpfile will collapse since the addr for some symbols is not correct. Hence KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE need be exported to vmcoreinfo and got in makedumpfile to help calculate MODULES_VADDR.

2015-09-10kexec: align crash_notes allocation to make it be inside one physical pageBaoquan He
People reported that crash_notes in /proc/vmcore were corrupted and this cause crash kdump failure. With code debugging and log we got the root cause. This is because percpu variable crash_notes are allocated in 2 vmalloc pages. Currently percpu is based on vmalloc by default. Vmalloc can't guarantee 2 continuous vmalloc pages are also on 2 continuous physical pages. So when 1st kernel exports the starting address and size of crash_notes through sysfs like below: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/crash_notes /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/crash_notes_size kdump kernel use them to get the content of crash_notes. However the 2nd part may not be in the next neighbouring physical page as we expected if crash_notes are allocated accross 2 vmalloc pages. That's why nhdr_ptr->n_namesz or nhdr_ptr->n_descsz could be very huge in update_note_header_size_elf64() and cause note header merging failure or some warnings. In this patch change to call __alloc_percpu() to passed in the align value by rounding crash_notes_size up to the nearest power of two. This makes sure the crash_notes is allocated inside one physical page since sizeof(note_buf_t) in all ARCHS is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. Meanwhile add a BUILD_BUG_ON to break compile if size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE since crash_notes definitely will be in 2 pages. That need be avoided, and need be reported if it's unavoidable.

2015-09-10kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core codeDave Young
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

2015-09-10kmod: handle UMH_WAIT_PROC from system unbound workqueueFrederic Weisbecker
The UMH_WAIT_PROC handler runs in its own thread in order to make sure that waiting for the exec kernel thread completion won't block other usermodehelper queued jobs. On older workqueue implementations, worklets couldn't sleep without blocking the rest of the queue. But now the workqueue subsystem handles that. Khelper still had the older limitation due to its singlethread properties but we replaced it to system unbound workqueues. Those are affine to the current node and can block up to some number of instances. They are a good candidate to handle UMH_WAIT_PROC assuming that we have enough system unbound workers to handle lots of parallel usermodehelper jobs.

2015-09-10kmod: use system_unbound_wq instead of khelperFrederic Weisbecker
We need to launch the usermodehelper kernel threads with the widest affinity and this is partly why we use khelper. This workqueue has unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children. Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in: ordered and singlethread. There is really no need about ordering as all we do is creating kernel threads. This can be done concurrently. And singlethread is a useless limitation as well. The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs. The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current CPU. It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules. This patch proposes to use these node affine unbound workqueues assuming that a node is sufficient to handle several parallel usermodehelper requests.
