2015-10-16timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init()Thomas Gleixner
timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at 0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.

2015-10-16genirq/msi: Do not use pci_msi_[un]mask_irq as default methodsMarc Zyngier
When we create a generic MSI domain, that MSI_FLAG_USE_DEF_CHIP_OPS is set, and that any of .mask or .unmask are NULL in the irq_chip structure, we set them to pci_msi_[un]mask_irq. This is a bad idea for at least two reasons: - PCI_MSI might not be selected, kernel fails to build (yes, this is legitimate, at least on arm64!) - This may not be a PCI/MSI domain at all (platform MSI, for example) Either way, this looks wrong. Move the overriding of mask/unmask to the PCI counterpart, and panic is any of these two methods is not set in the core code (they really should be present).

2015-10-09genirq: Export handle_bad_irqArnd Bergmann
A cleanup of the omap gpio driver introduced a use of the handle_bad_irq() function in a device driver that can be a loadable module.

2015-10-06sched/core: Fix TASK_DEAD race in finish_task_switch()Peter Zijlstra
So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 context_switch(A, B) ttwu(A) LOCK A->pi_lock A->on_cpu == 0 finish_task_switch(A) prev_state = A->state <-. WMB | A->on_cpu = 0; | UNLOCK rq0->lock | | context_switch(C, A) `-- A->state = TASK_DEAD prev_state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) context_switch(A, C) finish_task_switch(A) A->state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A->state on CPU0 to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A->state, which will then result in a double-drop and use-after-free. Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago) that we need to observe A->state while holding rq->lock because that will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact acquire (that) rq->lock; it takes A->pi_lock these days. We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is expensive, so we'd rather avoid that. The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&A->on_cpu, 0), which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

2015-10-01genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc()Ben Hutchings
Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created. In the case of a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory. This race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to hit with async probing.

2015-09-30workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpuShaohua Li
My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu. schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu. The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

2015-09-20rcu: Suppress lockdep false positive for rcp->exp_funnel_mutexPaul E. McKenney
In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, synchronize_rcu_expedited() invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() while holding RCU-preempt's root rcu_node structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, which is acquired after the rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. The first thing that synchronize_sched_expedited() will do is acquire RCU-sched's rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. There is no danger of an actual deadlock because the locking order is always from RCU-preempt's expedited mutexes to those of RCU-sched. Unfortunately, lockdep considers both rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex to be in the same lock class and therefore reports a deadlock cycle. This commit silences this false positive by placing RCU-sched's rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex locks into their own lock class.

Commit 2ee507c47293 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current runqueue with the smp_processor_id. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker). With commit f78195129963 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that generates a lot of kernel messages. To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness, we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

2015-09-18perf: Fix races in computing the header sizesPeter Zijlstra
There are two races with the current code: - Another event can join the group and compute a larger header_size concurrently, if the smaller store wins we'll have an incorrect header_size set. - We compute the header_size after the event becomes active, therefore its possible to use the size before its computed. Remedy the first by moving the computation inside the ctx::mutex lock, and the second by placing it _before_ perf_install_in_context().

2015-09-18sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle threadPeter Zijlstra
Sasha reports that his virtual machine tries to schedule the idle thread since commit 6c37067e2786 ("sched: Change the sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() calling context"). Hit trace shows this happening from idle_thread_get()->init_idle(), which is the _second_ init_idle() invocation on that task_struct, the first being done through idle_init()->fork_idle(). (this code is insane...) Because we call init_idle() twice in a row, its ->sched_class == &idle_sched_class and ->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED. This means do_set_cpus_allowed() think we're queued and will call dequeue_task(), which is implemented with BUG() for the idle class, seeing how dequeueing the idle task is a daft thing. Aside of the whole insanity of calling init_idle() _twice_, change the code to call set_cpus_allowed_common() instead as this is 'obviously' before the idle task gets ran etc..

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.

2015-09-11sys_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.

This patch fixes it by following the rules for changing task_struct::cpus_allowed with both pi_lock and rq->lock held.

2015-09-11locking/qspinlock/x86: Fix performance regression under unaccelerated VMsPeter Zijlstra
Dave ran into horrible performance on a VM without PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS set and Linus noted that the test-and-set implementation was retarded. One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW. While there, remove 'queued' from the name, as the lock isn't queued at all, but a simple test-and-set.

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.
