2016-03-17timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64John Stultz
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

2015-11-04timers: Use proper base migration in add_timer_on()Tejun Heo
Regardless of the previous CPU a timer was on, add_timer_on() currently simply sets timer->flags to the new CPU. As the caller must be seeing the timer as idle, this is locally fine, but the timer leaving the old base while unlocked can lead to race conditions as follows. Let's say timer was on cpu 0. cpu 0 cpu 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- del_timer(timer) succeeds del_timer(timer) lock_timer_base(timer) locks cpu_0_base add_timer_on(timer, 1) spin_lock(&cpu_1_base->lock) timer->flags set to cpu_1_base operates on @timer operates on @timer This triggered with mod_delayed_work_on() which contains "if (del_timer()) add_timer_on()" sequence eventually leading to the following oops.

2015-10-11timers: Use __fls in apply_slack()Rasmus Villemoes
In apply_slack(), find_last_bit() is applied to a bitmask consisting of precisely BITS_PER_LONG bits. Since mask is non-zero, we might as well eliminate the function call and use __fls() directly. On x86_64, this shaves 23 bytes of the only caller, mod_timer(). This also gets rid of Coverity CID 1192106, but that is a false positive: Coverity is not aware that mask != 0 implies that find_last_bit will not return BITS_PER_LONG.

2015-09-22timers: Fix data race in timer_stats_account_timer()Dmitry Vyukov
timer_stats_account_timer() reads timer->start_site, then checks it for NULL and then re-reads it again, while timer_stats_timer_clear_start_info() can concurrently reset timer->start_site to NULL. This should not lead to crashes, but can double number of entries in timer stats as start_site is used during comparison, the doubled entries will have unuseful NULL start_site. Read timer->start_site only once in timer_stats_account_timer(). The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.

I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about that.

2015-06-19timer: Replace timer base by a cpu indexThomas Gleixner
Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel. Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances: - boot_tvec_base That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no other purpose. With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base dance. That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the per cpu base. Before: text data bss dec hex filename 17491 9201 4160 30852 7884 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 17440 9193 0 26633 6809 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o - Overloading the base pointer with various flags The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable, irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling with the base pointer. As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list, which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs. This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well. We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate big endian bitfields.

2015-06-19timer: Remove FIFO "guarantee"Thomas Gleixner
The FIFO guarantee is only there if two timers are queued into the same bucket at the same jiffie on the same cpu: - The slack value depends on the delta between expiry and enqueue time, so the resulting expiry time can be different for timers which are queued in different jiffies. - Timers which are queued into the secondary array end up after a later queued timer which was queued into the primary array due to cascading. - Timers can end up on different cpus due to the NOHZ target moving around. Obviously there is no guarantee of expiry ordering between cpus. So anything which relies on FIFO behaviour of the timer wheel is broken already. This is a preparatory patch for converting the timer wheel to hlist which reduces the memory foot print of the wheel by 50%. It's a seperate patch so any (unlikely to happen) regression caused by this can be identified clearly.

The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases. Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

We discussed whether we change the return value and force all start sites to handle that the timer is already expired, but that would be a Herculean task and I'm not sure whether its a good idea to enforce that handling on everyone. A simpler solution is to enforce a timer interrupt instead of raising and scheduling a softirq. Just use the existing infrastructure to do so and remove all the softirq leftovers. The HRTIMER softirq enum is now unused, but kept around because trace parsers rely on the existing numbering.

Remove one CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU #ifdef in trade for introducing one CONFIG_SMP #ifdef. The CONFIG_SMP ifdef avoids declaring the per-CPU __tvec_bases storage on UP systems since they already have boot_tvec_bases.

There is no need to call init_timers_cpu() on every CPU hotplug event, there is not much we need to reset. - Timer-lists are already empty at the end of migrate_timers(). - timer_jiffies will be refreshed while adding a new timer, after the CPU is online again. - active_timers and all_timers can be reset from migrate_timers().

2015-04-02timer: Allocate per-cpu tvec_base's staticallyPeter Zijlstra
Memory for the 'tvec_base' array is allocated separately for the boot CPU (statically) and non-boot CPUs (dynamically). The reason is because __TIMER_INITIALIZER() needs to set ->base to a valid pointer (because we've made NULL special, hint: lock_timer_base()) and we cannot get a compile time pointer to per-cpu entries because we don't know where we'll map the section, even for the boot cpu. This can be simplified a bit by statically allocating per-cpu memory. The only disadvantage is that memory for one of the structures will stay unused, i.e. for the boot CPU, which uses boot_tvec_bases. This will also guarantee that tvec_base is cacheline aligned. Even though tvec_base has ____cacheline_aligned stuck on, kzalloc_node() does not actually respect that (but guarantees a minimum u64 alignment).

2014-11-03rcu: Remove "cpu" argument to rcu_check_callbacks()Paul E. McKenney
The "cpu" argument was kept around on the off-chance that RCU might offload scheduler-clock interrupts. However, this offload approach has been replaced by NO_HZ_FULL, which offloads -all- RCU processing from qualifying CPUs. It is therefore time to remove the "cpu" argument to rcu_check_callbacks(), which this commit does. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all.

2014-09-13irq_work: Force raised irq work to run on irq work interruptFrederic Weisbecker
The nohz full kick, which restarts the tick when any resource depend on it, can't be executed anywhere given the operation it does on timers. If it is called from the scheduler or timers code, chances are that we run into a deadlock. This is why we run the nohz full kick from an irq work. That way we make sure that the kick runs on a virgin context. However if that's the case when irq work runs in its own dedicated self-ipi, things are different for the big bunch of archs that don't support the self triggered way. In order to support them, irq works are also handled by the timer interrupt as fallback. Now when irq works run on the timer interrupt, the context isn't blank. More precisely, they can run in the context of the hrtimer that runs the tick. But the nohz kick cancels and restarts this hrtimer and cancelling an hrtimer from itself isn't allowed. This is why we run in an endless loop: Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 2 CPU: 2 PID: 7538 Comm: kworker/u8:8 Not tainted 3.16.0+ #34 Workqueue: btrfs-endio-write normal_work_helper [btrfs] ffff880244c06c88 000000001b486fe1 ffff880244c06bf0 ffffffff8a7f1e37 ffffffff8ac52a18 ffff880244c06c78 ffffffff8a7ef928 0000000000000010 ffff880244c06c88 ffff880244c06c20 000000001b486fe1 0000000000000000 Call Trace: <NMI[<ffffffff8a7f1e37>] dump_stack+0x4e/0x7a [<ffffffff8a7ef928>] panic+0xd4/0x207 [<ffffffff8a1450e8>] watchdog_overflow_callback+0x118/0x120 [<ffffffff8a186b0e>] __perf_event_overflow+0xae/0x350 [<ffffffff8a184f80>] ? perf_event_task_disable+0xa0/0xa0 [<ffffffff8a01a4cf>] ? x86_perf_event_set_period+0xbf/0x150 [<ffffffff8a187934>] perf_event_overflow+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffff8a020386>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x206/0x410 [<ffffffff8a01937b>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2b/0x50 [<ffffffff8a007b72>] nmi_handle+0xd2/0x390 [<ffffffff8a007aa5>] ? nmi_handle+0x5/0x390 [<ffffffff8a0cb7f8>] ? match_held_lock+0x8/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8a008062>] default_do_nmi+0x72/0x1c0 [<ffffffff8a008268>] do_nmi+0xb8/0x100 [<ffffffff8a7ff66a>] end_repeat_nmi+0x1e/0x2e [<ffffffff8a0cb7f8>] ? match_held_lock+0x8/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8a0cb7f8>] ? match_held_lock+0x8/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8a0cb7f8>] ? match_held_lock+0x8/0x1b0 <<EOE><IRQ[<ffffffff8a0ccd2f>] lock_acquired+0xaf/0x450 [<ffffffff8a0f74c5>] ? lock_hrtimer_base.isra.20+0x25/0x50 [<ffffffff8a7fc678>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x78/0x90 [<ffffffff8a0f74c5>] ? lock_hrtimer_base.isra.20+0x25/0x50 [<ffffffff8a0f74c5>] lock_hrtimer_base.isra.20+0x25/0x50 [<ffffffff8a0f7723>] hrtimer_try_to_cancel+0x33/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8a0f78ea>] hrtimer_cancel+0x1a/0x30 [<ffffffff8a109237>] tick_nohz_restart+0x17/0x90 [<ffffffff8a10a213>] __tick_nohz_full_check+0xc3/0x100 [<ffffffff8a10a25e>] nohz_full_kick_work_func+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffff8a17c884>] irq_work_run_list+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff8a17c8da>] irq_work_run+0x2a/0x50 [<ffffffff8a0f700b>] update_process_times+0x5b/0x70 [<ffffffff8a109005>] tick_sched_handle.isra.21+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff8a109b81>] tick_sched_timer+0x41/0x60 [<ffffffff8a0f7aa2>] __run_hrtimer+0x72/0x470 [<ffffffff8a109b40>] ? tick_sched_do_timer+0xb0/0xb0 [<ffffffff8a0f8707>] hrtimer_interrupt+0x117/0x270 [<ffffffff8a034357>] local_apic_timer_interrupt+0x37/0x60 [<ffffffff8a80010f>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x3f/0x50 [<ffffffff8a7fe52f>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 To fix this we force non-lazy irq works to run on irq work self-IPIs when available.

2014-06-23timer: Kick dynticks targets on mod_timer*() callsViresh Kumar
When a timer is enqueued or modified on a dynticks target, that CPU must re-evaluate the next tick to service that timer. The tick re-evaluation is performed by an IPI kick on the target. Now while we correctly call wake_up_nohz_cpu() from add_timer_on(), the mod_timer*() API family doesn't support so well dynticks targets. The reason for this is likely that __mod_timer() isn't supposed to select an idle target for a timer, unless that target is the current CPU, in which case a dynticks idle kick isn't actually needed. But there is a small race window lurking behind that assumption: the elected target has all the time to turn dynticks idle between the call to get_nohz_timer_target() and the locking of its base. Hence a risk that we enqueue a timer on a dynticks idle destination without kicking it. As a result, the timer might be serviced too late in the future. Also a target elected by __mod_timer() can be in full dynticks mode and thus require to be kicked as well. And unlike idle dynticks, this concern both local and remote targets. To fix this whole issue, lets centralize the dynticks kick to internal_add_timer() so that it is well handled for all sort of timer enqueue. Even timer migration is concerned so that a full dynticks target is correctly kicked as needed when timers are migrating to it.

2014-06-23timer: Store cpu-number in struct tvec_baseViresh Kumar
Timers are serviced by the tick. But when a timer is enqueued on a dynticks target, we need to kick it in order to make it reconsider the next tick to schedule to correctly handle the timer's expiring time. Now while this kick is correctly performed for add_timer_on(), the mod_timer*() family has been a bit neglected. To prepare for fixing this, we need internal_add_timer() to be able to resolve the CPU target associated to a timer's object 'base' so that the kick can be centralized there. This can't be passed as an argument as not all the callers know the CPU number of a timer's base. So lets store it in the struct tvec_base to resolve the CPU without much overhead. It is set once for good at every CPU's first boot.
