2014-01-13sched/preempt: Fix up missed PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED foldingPeter Zijlstra1-7/+10
With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper. Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations. While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop. So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

2013-09-25sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_countPeter Zijlstra1-0/+7
In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value. Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into preempt_count; namely: - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from there. - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling(). We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means both need_resched and !atomic. Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched() already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

2013-09-25sched, idle: Fix the idle polling state logicPeter Zijlstra1-5/+4
Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop") regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule interrupts. The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86: default polling, generic: default !polling). Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit usage). Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will end up being slightly different.

2013-06-14idle: Enable interrupts in the weak arch_cpu_idle() implementationJames Bottomley1-0/+1
PARISC bootup triggers the warning at kernel/cpu/idle.c:96. That's caused by the weak arch_cpu_idle() implementation, which is provided to avoid that architectures implement idle_poll over and over. The switchover to polling mode happens in the first call of the weak arch_cpu_idle() implementation, but that code fails to reenable interrupts and therefor triggers the warning. Fix this by enabling interrupts in the weak arch_cpu_idle() code. [ tglx: Made the changelog match the patch ] Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com> Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

2013-06-11idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+16
Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86: Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector. I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a function which never returns, but I put that call into arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns. I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the non-boot cpus. So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle. I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH maintainers have no objection.

And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear: cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter(). Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss. And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing infrastructure extensively. So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(), so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and thus get the function ordering right.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle's merge are: - Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side blocking, by Thomas Gleixner. - Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov: - allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code. - debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements. - suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0 after resume. This can be taken advantage of by the generic via the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource can be used. - Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current simplistic seqfile approach fails. Convert /proc/timer_list to a proper seq_file with its own iterator. - Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John Stultz. - International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code internally currently but not exposed externally. Separate the TAI code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer and posix-timer code, by John Stultz. - Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring timer will be woken. - Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt - ... various other fixes and cleanups" * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (52 commits) clockevents: Set dummy handler on CPU_DEAD shutdown timekeeping: Update tk->cycle_last in resume posix-timers: Remove unused variable clockevents: Switch into oneshot mode even if broadcast registered late timer_list: Convert timer list to be a proper seq_file timer_list: Split timer_list_show_tickdevices posix-timers: Show sigevent info in proc file posix-timers: Introduce /proc/PID/timers file posix timers: Allocate timer id per process (v2) timekeeping: Make sure to notify hrtimers when TAI offset changes hrtimer: Fix ktime_add_ns() overflow on 32bit architectures hrtimer: Add expiry time overflow check in hrtimer_interrupt timekeeping: Shorten seq_count region timekeeping: Implement a shadow timekeeper timekeeping: Delay update of clock->cycle_last timekeeping: Store cycle_last value in timekeeper struct as well ntp: Remove ntp_lock, using the timekeeping locks to protect ntp state timekeeping: Simplify tai updating from do_adjtimex timekeeping: Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps timekeeping: Move ADJ_SETOFFSET to top level do_adjtimex() ...

2013-04-08idle: Implement generic idle functionThomas Gleixner1-0/+105
All idle functions in arch/* are more or less the same, plus minus a few bugs and extra instrumentation, tickless support and other optional items. Implement a generic idle function which resembles the functionality found in arch/. Provide weak arch_cpu_idle_* functions which can be overridden by the architecture code if needed.
