2011-06-07printk: Release console_sem after logbuf_lockPeter Zijlstra
Release console_sem after unlocking the logbuf_lock so that we don't generate wakeups while holding logbuf_lock. This avoids some lock inversion troubles once we remove the lockdep_off bits between logbuf_lock and rq->lock (prints while holding rq->lock vs doing wakeups while holding logbuf_lock). There's of course still an actual deadlock where the printk()s under rq->lock will issue a wakeup from the up() call, but lockdep won't warn about that since semaphores are not tracked.

2011-06-07lockdep: Fix lock_is_held() on recursionPeter Zijlstra
The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the lock is taken. [ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu() which triggers a warning under lockdep_off() as in printk() which can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock recursion, as reported and heroically debugged by Arne Jansen ] Reported-and-tested-by: Arne Jansen <lists@die-jansens.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1307398759.2497.966.camel@laptop Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2011-06-04ptrace: use bit_waitqueue for TRAPPING instead of wait_chldexitTejun Heo
ptracer->signal->wait_chldexit was used to wait for TRAPPING; however, ->wait_chldexit was already complicated with waker-side filtering without adding TRAPPING wait on top of it. Also, it unnecessarily made TRAPPING clearing depend on the current ptrace relationship - if the ptracee is detached, wakeup is lost. There is no reason to use signal->wait_chldexit here. We're just waiting for JOBCTL_TRAPPING bit to clear and given the relatively infrequent use of ptrace, bit_waitqueue can serve it perfectly. This patch makes JOBCTL_TRAPPING wait use bit_waitqueue instead of signal->wait_chldexit. -v2: Use JOBCTL_*_BIT macros instead of ilog2() as suggested by Linus.

2011-06-04job control: introduce task_set_jobctl_pending()Tejun Heo
task->jobctl currently hosts JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and will host TRAP pending bits too. Setting pending conditions on a dying task may make the task unkillable. Currently, each setting site is responsible for checking for the condition but with to-be-added job control traps this becomes too fragile. This patch adds task_set_jobctl_pending() which should be used when setting task->jobctl bits to schedule a stop or trap. The function performs the followings to ease setting pending bits. * Sanity checks. * If fatal signal is pending or PF_EXITING is set, no bit is set. * STOP_SIGMASK is automatically cleared if new value is being set. do_signal_stop() and ptrace_attach() are updated to use task_set_jobctl_pending() instead of setting STOP_PENDING explicitly. The surrounding structures around setting are changed to fit task_set_jobctl_pending() better but there should be no userland visible behavior difference.

2011-06-04job control: make task_clear_jobctl_pending() clear TRAPPING automaticallyTejun Heo
JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to (re)transit into TRACED. task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for some reason. The former is achieved by explicitly calling task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling it at the end of do_signal_stop(). Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop() limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING. We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING. Cancellations can be handled by making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is called automatically if no stop/trap is pending. This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

2011-06-04job control: introduce JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and task_clear_jobctl_pending()Tejun Heo
This patch introduces JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and replaces task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() with task_clear_jobctl_pending() which takes an extra @mask argument. JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK is currently equal to JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but future patches will add more bits. recalc_sigpending_tsk() is updated to use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead. task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits. If JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together. All task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() users are updated to call task_clear_jobctl_pending() with JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING which is functionally identical to task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending(). This patch doesn't cause any functional change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
2011-06-04ptrace: relocate set_current_state(TASK_TRACED) in ptrace_stop()Tejun Heo
In ptrace_stop(), after arch hook is done, the task state and jobctl bits are updated while holding siglock. The ordering requirement there is that TASK_TRACED is set before JOBCTL_TRAPPING is cleared to prevent ptracer waiting on TRAPPING doesn't end up waking up TRACED is actually set and sees TASK_RUNNING in wait(2). Move set_current_state(TASK_TRACED) to the top of the block and reorganize comments. This makes the ordering more obvious (TASK_TRACED before other updates) and helps future updates to group stop participation. This patch doesn't cause any functional change.

signal->group_stop currently hosts mostly group stop related flags; however, it's gonna be used for wider purposes and the GROUP_STOP_ flag prefix becomes confusing. Rename signal->group_stop to signal->jobctl and rename all GROUP_STOP_* flags to JOBCTL_*. Bit position macros JOBCTL_*_BIT are defined and JOBCTL_* flags are defined in terms of them to allow using bitops later. While at it, reassign JOBCTL_TRAPPING to bit 22 to better accomodate future additions. This doesn't cause any functional change. -v2: JOBCTL_*_BIT macros added as suggested by Linus.

2011-06-03timers: Consider slack value in mod_timer()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
There is an optimization which does not update the timer if the timer was pending and the expiration time was unchanged. Since commit 3bbb9ec9 ("timers: Introduce the concept of timer slack for legacy timers") this optimization is no longer applied for timers where the expiration time got extended due to the slack value. So we need to check again after the expiration time might have been updated.

2011-06-03genirq: Ensure we locate the passed IRQ in irq_alloc_descs()Mark Brown
When irq_alloc_descs() is called with no base IRQ specified then it will search for a range of IRQs starting from a specified base address. In the case where an IRQ is specified it still does this search in order to ensure that none of the requested range is already allocated and it still uses the from parameter to specify the base for the search. This means that in the case where a base is specified but from is zero (which is reasonable as any IRQ number is in the range specified by a zero from) the function will get confused and try to allocate the first suitably sized block of free IRQs it finds. Instead use a specified IRQ as the base address for the search, and insist that any from that is specified can support that IRQ.

The genirq changes are initializing descriptors for sparse IRQs quite differently from how non-sparse (stacked?) IRQs are initialized, with the effect that on my platform all IRQs are default-disabled on sparse IRQs and default-enabled if non-sparse IRQs are used, crashing some GPIO driver.

2011-05-31sched: Fix cross-cpu clock sync on remote wakeupsPeter Zijlstra
Markus reported that commit 317f394160e ("sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu") caused some accounting funnies on his AMD Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results. It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats. Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks to restore the normal flow of time.

2011-05-31rcu: Cure load woesPeter Zijlstra
Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state.

2011-05-29idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idleTim Chen
Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi. Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some update to my previous patch comments. I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value, slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where 64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with 37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock: - 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - 95.65% pm_qos_request menu_select cpuidle_idle_call - cpu_idle 99.98% start_secondary A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below. With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a 2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Acked-by: mark gross <markgross@thegnar.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs, change the close() semantics slightly. The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new code keeps the group siblings enabled.

By making it a bitmask of EVENT_PINNED|EVENT_FLEXIBLE we can simplify some of the scheduling routines since it can avoid adding events that are already active.

2011-05-28perf: Simplify and fix __perf_install_in_context()Peter Zijlstra
Currently __perf_install_in_context() will try and schedule in the event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned events. Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in. This also nicely handles the case where with __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI can come right in the middle of schedule, before we managed to call perf_event_task_sched_in().

2011-05-28perf: Remove task_ctx_sched_in()Peter Zijlstra
Make task_ctx_sched_*() imply EVENT_ALL, since anything less will not actually have scheduled the task in/out at all. Since there's no site that schedules all of a task in (due to the interleave with flexible cpuctx) we can remove this function.

2011-05-28perf: Optimize event scheduling lockingPeter Zijlstra
Currently we only hold one ctx->lock at a time, which results in us flipping back and forth between cpuctx->ctx.lock and task_ctx->lock. Avoid this and gain large atomic regions by holding both locks. We nest the task lock inside the cpu lock, since with task scheduling we might have to change task ctx while holding the cpu ctx lock.

2011-05-28rcu: Remove waitqueue usage for cpu, node, and boost kthreadsPeter Zijlstra
It is not necessary to use waitqueues for the RCU kthreads because we always know exactly which thread is to be awakened. In addition, wake_up() only issues an actual wakeup when there is a thread waiting on the queue, which was why there was an extra explicit wake_up_process() to get the RCU kthreads started. Eliminating the waitqueues (and wake_up()) in favor of wake_up_process() eliminates the need for the initial wake_up_process() and also shrinks the data structure size a bit. The wakeup logic is placed in a new rcu_wait() macro. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
