2017-05-02srcu: Debloat the <linux/rcu_segcblist.h> headerIngo Molnar
Linus noticed that the <linux/rcu_segcblist.h> has huge inline functions which should not be inline at all. As a first step in cleaning this up, move them all to kernel/rcu/ and only keep an absolute minimum of data type defines in the header: before: -rw-r--r-- 1 mingo mingo 22284 May 2 10:25 include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h after: -rw-r--r-- 1 mingo mingo 3180 May 2 10:22 include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h More can be done, such as uninlining the large functions, which inlining is unjustified even if it's an RCU internal matter.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of other places. One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better. Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver. Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under tools/power/pm-graph/. The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization. Specifics: - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki). - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki). - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen). - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box). - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz). - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki). - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar, YuanTian Tang). - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy). - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd Brandt). - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) driver (David Wu). - Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation (Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)" * tag 'pm-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (56 commits) PM / runtime: Document autosuspend-helper side effects PM / runtime: Fix autosuspend documentation tools: power: pm-graph: Package makefile and man pages tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeBoot v2.0 tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeSuspend v4.6 cpufreq: Add Tegra186 cpufreq driver cpufreq: imx6q: Fix error handling code cpufreq: imx6q: Set max suspend_freq to avoid changes during suspend cpufreq: imx6q: Fix handling EPROBE_DEFER from regulator cpuidle: powernv: Avoid a branch in the core snooze_loop() loop cpuidle: powernv: Don't continually set thread priority in snooze_loop() cpuidle: powernv: Don't bounce between low and very low thread priority cpuidle: cpuidle-cps: remove unused variable tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Adjust directory ownership cpufreq: schedutil: Use policy-dependent transition delays cpufreq: schedutil: Reduce frequencies slower PM / devfreq: Move struct devfreq_governor to devfreq directory PM / Domains: Ignore domain-idle-states that are not compatible cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add support for Gemini Lake powernv-cpuidle: Validate DT property array size ...

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness. From Paolo. - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler, using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar. - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life times, solving various problems with hot removal. - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a 'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block device. - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef. - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for more than a decade. - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar. - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is marked experimental for now. - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size IO. - A few fixes for opal, from Scott. - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics. From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart. - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from the blk-mq debugfs support. - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES. - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also shrinks the size of struct request a bit. - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph.

2017-05-01bpf: enhance verifier to understand stack pointer arithmeticYonghong Song
llvm 4.0 and above generates the code like below: .... 440: (b7) r1 = 15 441: (05) goto pc+73 515: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r10 -152) 516: (bf) r7 = r10 517: (07) r7 += -112 518: (bf) r2 = r7 519: (0f) r2 += r1 520: (71) r1 = *(u8 *)(r8 +0) 521: (73) *(u8 *)(r2 +45) = r1 .... and the verifier complains "R2 invalid mem access 'inv'" for insn #521. This is because verifier marks register r2 as unknown value after #519 where r2 is a stack pointer and r1 holds a constant value. Teach verifier to recognize "stack_ptr + imm" and "stack_ptr + reg with const val" as valid stack_ptr with new offset.

2017-05-01ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring bufferSteven Rostedt (VMware)
When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice, where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page for the reader. The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc mechanism. Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring buffer. Before this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 9968 After this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 4 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2017-05-01mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single ↵Dan Williams
reference to fix pmem crash The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good. The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86 get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures. (The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.) But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on. One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.) So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into __put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery: Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap() reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the page to drop that reference. This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(), since it now maintains its own elevated reference. This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going forward.

2017-04-27sched/cputime: Fix ksoftirqd cputime accounting regressionFrederic Weisbecker
irq_time_read() returns the irqtime minus the ksoftirqd time. This is necessary because irq_time_read() is used to substract the IRQ time from the sum_exec_runtime of a task. If we were to include the softirq time of ksoftirqd, this task would substract its own CPU time everytime it updates ksoftirqd->sum_exec_runtime which would therefore never progress. But this behaviour got broken by: a499a5a14db ("sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account") ... which now includes ksoftirqd softirq time in the time returned by irq_time_read(). This has resulted in wrong ksoftirqd cputime reported to userspace through /proc/stat and thus "top" not showing ksoftirqd when it should after intense networking load. ksoftirqd->stime happens to be correct but it gets scaled down by sum_exec_runtime through task_cputime_adjusted(). To fix this, just account the strict IRQ time in a separate counter and use it to report the IRQ time.

2017-04-26srcu: Specify auto-expedite holdoff timePaul E. McKenney
On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace periods can complete in less than a microsecond. This means that an eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight loop and almost always expedite. This might actually be desirable in some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn CPU cycles. And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited(). For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting the next. If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires, auto-expediting is disabled. The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default, and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds. A value of zero disables auto-expediting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de>
2017-04-26srcu: Expedite first synchronize_srcu() when idlePaul E. McKenney
Classic SRCU in effect expedites the first synchronize_srcu() when SRCU is idle, and Mike Galbraith demonstrated that some use cases do in fact rely on this behavior. In particular, Mike showed that Steven Rostedt's hotplug stress script takes 55 seconds with Classic SRCU and more than 16 -minutes- when running Tree SRCU. Assuming that each Tree SRCU's call to synchronize_srcu() takes four milliseconds, this implies that Steven's test invokes synchronize_srcu() in isolation, but more than once per 200 microseconds. Mike used ftrace to demonstrate that the time between successive calls to synchronize_srcu() ranged from 118 to 342 microseconds, with one outlier at 80 milliseconds. This data clearly indicates that Tree SRCU needs to expedite the first invocation of synchronize_srcu() during an SRCU idle period. This commit therefor introduces a srcu_might_be_idle() function that probabilistically checks whether or not SRCU is idle. This function is used by synchronize_rcu() as an additional criterion in deciding whether or not to expedite. (Hat trick to Peter Zijlstra for his earlier suggestion that this might in fact be a problem. Which for all I know might have motivated Mike to look into it.)

2017-04-26srcu: Expedited grace periods with reduced memory contentionPaul E. McKenney
Commit f60d231a87c5 ("srcu: Crude control of expedited grace periods") introduced a per-srcu_struct atomic counter to track outstanding requests for grace periods. This works, but represents a memory-contention bottleneck. This commit therefore uses the srcu_node combining tree to remove this bottleneck. This commit adds new ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields to the srcu_data, srcu_node, and srcu_struct structures, which track the farthest-in-the-future grace period that must be expedited, which in turn requires that all nearer-term grace periods also be expedited. Requests for expediting start with the srcu_data structure, run up through the srcu_node tree, and end at the srcu_struct structure. Note that it may be necessary to expedite a grace period that just now started, and this is handled by a new srcu_funnel_exp_start() function, which is invoked when the grace period itself is already in its way, but when that grace period was not marked as expedited. A new srcu_get_delay() function returns zero if there is at least one expedited SRCU grace period in flight, or SRCU_INTERVAL otherwise. This function is used to calculate delays: Normal grace periods are allowed to extend in order to cover more requests with a given grace-period computation, which decreases per-request overhead.

That task->cred is shared between tasks created with CLONE_THREAD unless thread keyrings are in play, in which case both apparmor and selinux create duplicate security contexts. So the only time when it will matter which thread is passed to security_task_setrlimit is if one of the threads of a process performs an operation that changes only it's credentials.

2017-04-21rcu: Make non-preemptive schedule be Tasks RCU quiescent statePaul E. McKenney
Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously. This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption. To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path, this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing non-common-case check.

2017-04-21srcu: Expedite srcu_schedule_cbs_snp() callback invocationPaul E. McKenney
Although Tree SRCU does reduce delays when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending, srcu_schedule_cbs_snp() still waits for SRCU_INTERVAL before invoking callbacks. Since synchronize_srcu_expedited() now posts a callback and waits for that callback to do a wakeup, this destroys the expedited nature of synchronize_srcu_expedited(). This destruction became apparent to Marc Zyngier in the guise of a guest-OS bootup slowdown from five seconds to no fewer than forty seconds. This commit therefore invokes callbacks immediately at the end of the grace period when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending. This brought Marc's guest-OS bootup times back into the realm of reason. Reported-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-04-21srcu: Parallelize callback handlingPaul E. McKenney
Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2], however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's ->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention. Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that control the shape of the rcu_node tree). In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that are ready to be invoked. The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU ->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock, srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory, it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier() needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked) is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all callbacks are inovked. Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment. This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they need to be incremented at different times. This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU. Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf asynchronous-grace-period capability: Callback Queuing Overhead ------------------------- # CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU ------ ------------ --------- 2 0.349 us 0.342 us 16 31.66 us 0.4 us 41 --------- 0.417 us The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41 CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's performance and scalability advantages.

2017-04-20tracing/ftrace: Allow for the traceonoff probe be unique to instancesSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Have the traceon/off function probe triggers affect only the instance they are set in. This required making the trace_on/off accessible for other files in the tracing directory. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2017-04-20tracing/ftrace: Enable snapshot function trigger to work with instancesSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Modify the snapshot probe trigger to work with instances. This way the snapshot function trigger will only affect the instance that it is added to in the set_ftrace_filter file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
