2014-10-15Merge branch 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo: "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately and had their own accessors. 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. Christoph will follow up with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully remove the obsolete accessors" * 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits) irqchip: Properly fetch the per cpu offset percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t -fix ia64: sn_nodepda cannot be assigned to after this_cpu conversion.

2014-09-07rcu: Per-CPU operation cleanups to rcu_*_qs() functionsPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
The rcu_bh_qs(), rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_sched_qs() functions use old-style per-CPU variable access and write to ->passed_quiesce even if it is already set. This commit therefore updates to use the new-style per-CPU variable access functions and avoids the spurious writes. This commit also eliminates the "cpu" argument to these functions because they are always invoked on the indicated CPU. Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-04-28genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflictThomas Gleixner1-0/+5
On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a completely different configuration so hell breaks lose. Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs, except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose such a detail to a driver. To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations. Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations happen above. That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate issue.

2014-01-15tick: Rename tick_check_idle() to tick_irq_enter()Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit(). These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action: we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry. This rename was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a long while ago but it got forgotten in the mass.

2014-01-13sched/preempt, locking: Rework local_bh_{dis,en}able()Peter Zijlstra1-29/+6
Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason. So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on load/store archs). Also expose two new local_bh functions: __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt); Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour. The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock functions. With build fixes from Jacob Pan.

2014-01-13locking: Optimize lock_bh functionsPeter Zijlstra1-2/+2
Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations: local_bh_disable(); preempt_disable(); and for the unlock: preempt_enable_no_resched(); local_bh_enable(); Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable twice when you can do it in one go; use the new __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a preempt_count value to add/sub. So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to add/sub to be done in one go. As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage. This reduces a 1000 loops of: spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock); spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock); from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few runs I did for each suggest it is so.

2013-11-27lockdep: Simplify a bit hardirq <-> softirq transitionsFrederic Weisbecker1-21/+16
Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication, just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions return values and parameters. It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter case assume both states.

2013-11-19lockdep: Correctly annotate hardirq context in irq_exit()Peter Zijlstra1-9/+45
There was a reported deadlock on -rt which lockdep didn't report. It turns out that in irq_exit() we tell lockdep that the hardirq context ends and then do all kinds of locking afterwards. To fix it, move trace_hardirq_exit() to the very end of irq_exit(), this ensures all locking in tick_irq_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() are properly recorded as happening from hardirq context. This however leads to the 'fun' little problem of running softirqs while in hardirq context. To cure this make the softirq code a little more complex (in the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case). Due to stack swizzling arch dependent trickery we cannot pass an argument to __do_softirq() to tell it if it was done from hardirq context or not; so use a side-band argument. When we do __do_softirq() from hardirq context, 'atomically' flip to softirq context and back, so that no locking goes without being in either hard- or soft-irq context. I didn't find any new problems in mainline using this patch, but it did show the -rt problem.

2013-10-01irq: Optimize softirq stack selection in irq exitFrederic Weisbecker1-4/+10
If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack, it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit(). For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here, the worst case scenario is: hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable. Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve. So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache issues that come along.

2013-10-01irq: Improve a bit softirq debuggingFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
do_softirq() has a debug check that verifies that it is not nesting on softirqs processing, nor miscounting the softirq part of the preempt count. But making sure that softirqs processing don't nest is actually a more generic concern that applies to any caller of __do_softirq(). Do take it one step further and generalize that debug check to any softirq processing.

Before processing softirqs on hardirq exit, we already do the check for pending softirqs while hardirqs are guaranteed to be disabled.

2013-10-01irq: Consolidate do_softirq() arch overriden implementationsFrederic Weisbecker1-5/+3
All arch overriden implementations of do_softirq() share the following common code: disable irqs (to avoid races with the pending check), check if there are softirqs pending, then execute __do_softirq() on a specific stack.

2013-10-01irq: Force hardirq exit's softirq processing on its own stackFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+12
The commit facd8b80c67a3cf64a467c4a2ac5fb31f2e6745b ("irq: Sanitize invoke_softirq") converted irq exit calls of do_softirq() to __do_softirq() on all architectures, assuming it was only used there for its irq disablement properties. But as a side effect, the softirqs processed in the end of the hardirq are always called on the inline current stack that is used by irq_exit() instead of the softirq stack provided by the archs that override do_softirq(). The result is mostly safe if the architecture runs irq_exit() on a separate irq stack because then softirqs are processed on that same stack that is near empty at this stage (assuming hardirq aren't nesting). Otherwise irq_exit() runs in the task stack and so does the softirq too. The interrupted call stack can be randomly deep already and the softirq can dig through it even further. To add insult to the injury, this softirq can be interrupted by a new hardirq, maximizing the chances for a stack overrun as reported in powerpc for example: do_IRQ: stack overflow: 1920 CPU: 0 PID: 1602 Comm: qemu-system-ppc Not tainted 3.10.4-300.1.fc19.ppc64p7 #1 Call Trace: [c0000000050a8740] .show_stack+0x130/0x200 (unreliable) [c0000000050a8810] .dump_stack+0x28/0x3c [c0000000050a8880] .do_IRQ+0x2b8/0x2c0 [c0000000050a8930] hardware_interrupt_common+0x154/0x180 --- Exception: 501 at .cp_start_xmit+0x3a4/0x820 [8139cp] LR = .cp_start_xmit+0x390/0x820 [8139cp] [c0000000050a8d40] .dev_hard_start_xmit+0x394/0x640 [c0000000050a8e00] .sch_direct_xmit+0x110/0x260 [c0000000050a8ea0] .dev_queue_xmit+0x260/0x630 [c0000000050a8f40] .br_dev_queue_push_xmit+0xc4/0x130 [bridge] [c0000000050a8fc0] .br_dev_xmit+0x198/0x270 [bridge] [c0000000050a9070] .dev_hard_start_xmit+0x394/0x640 [c0000000050a9130] .dev_queue_xmit+0x428/0x630 [c0000000050a91d0] .ip_finish_output+0x2a4/0x550 [c0000000050a9290] .ip_local_out+0x50/0x70 [c0000000050a9310] .ip_queue_xmit+0x148/0x420 [c0000000050a93b0] .tcp_transmit_skb+0x4e4/0xaf0 [c0000000050a94a0] .__tcp_ack_snd_check+0x7c/0xf0 [c0000000050a9520] .tcp_rcv_established+0x1e8/0x930 [c0000000050a95f0] .tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x21c/0x570 [c0000000050a96c0] .tcp_v4_rcv+0x734/0x930 [c0000000050a97a0] .ip_local_deliver_finish+0x184/0x360 [c0000000050a9840] .ip_rcv_finish+0x148/0x400 [c0000000050a98d0] .__netif_receive_skb_core+0x4f8/0xb00 [c0000000050a99d0] .netif_receive_skb+0x44/0x110 [c0000000050a9a70] .br_handle_frame_finish+0x2bc/0x3f0 [bridge] [c0000000050a9b20] .br_nf_pre_routing_finish+0x2ac/0x420 [bridge] [c0000000050a9bd0] .br_nf_pre_routing+0x4dc/0x7d0 [bridge] [c0000000050a9c70] .nf_iterate+0x114/0x130 [c0000000050a9d30] .nf_hook_slow+0xb4/0x1e0 [c0000000050a9e00] .br_handle_frame+0x290/0x330 [bridge] [c0000000050a9ea0] .__netif_receive_skb_core+0x34c/0xb00 [c0000000050a9fa0] .netif_receive_skb+0x44/0x110 [c0000000050aa040] .napi_gro_receive+0xe8/0x120 [c0000000050aa0c0] .cp_rx_poll+0x31c/0x590 [8139cp] [c0000000050aa1d0] .net_rx_action+0x1dc/0x310 [c0000000050aa2b0] .__do_softirq+0x158/0x330 [c0000000050aa3b0] .irq_exit+0xc8/0x110 [c0000000050aa430] .do_IRQ+0xdc/0x2c0 [c0000000050aa4e0] hardware_interrupt_common+0x154/0x180 --- Exception: 501 at .bad_range+0x1c/0x110 LR = .get_page_from_freelist+0x908/0xbb0 [c0000000050aa7d0] .list_del+0x18/0x50 (unreliable) [c0000000050aa850] .get_page_from_freelist+0x908/0xbb0 [c0000000050aa9e0] .__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x21c/0xae0 [c0000000050aaba0] .alloc_pages_vma+0xd0/0x210 [c0000000050aac60] .handle_pte_fault+0x814/0xb70 [c0000000050aad50] .__get_user_pages+0x1a4/0x640 [c0000000050aae60] .get_user_pages_fast+0xec/0x160 [c0000000050aaf10] .__gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x3b0/0x430 [kvm] [c0000000050aafd0] .kvmppc_gfn_to_pfn+0x64/0x130 [kvm] [c0000000050ab070] .kvmppc_mmu_map_page+0x94/0x530 [kvm] [c0000000050ab190] .kvmppc_handle_pagefault+0x174/0x610 [kvm] [c0000000050ab270] .kvmppc_handle_exit_pr+0x464/0x9b0 [kvm] [c0000000050ab320] kvm_start_lightweight+0x1ec/0x1fc [kvm] [c0000000050ab4f0] .kvmppc_vcpu_run_pr+0x168/0x3b0 [kvm] [c0000000050ab9c0] .kvmppc_vcpu_run+0xc8/0xf0 [kvm] [c0000000050aba50] .kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x5c/0x1a0 [kvm] [c0000000050abae0] .kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x478/0x730 [kvm] [c0000000050abc90] .do_vfs_ioctl+0x4ec/0x7c0 [c0000000050abd80] .SyS_ioctl+0xd4/0xf0 [c0000000050abe30] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98 Since this is a regression, this patch proposes a minimalistic and low-risk solution by blindly forcing the hardirq exit processing of softirqs on the softirq stack.

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker1-4/+4
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

2013-06-10Fix lockup related to stop_machine being stuck in __do_softirq.Ben Greear1-3/+10
The stop machine logic can lock up if all but one of the migration threads make it through the disable-irq step and the one remaining thread gets stuck in __do_softirq. The reason __do_softirq can hang is that it has a bail-out based on jiffies timeout, but in the lockup case, jiffies itself is not incremented. To work around this, re-add the max_restart counter in __do_irq and stop processing irqs after 10 restarts. Thanks to Tejun Heo and Rusty Russell and others for helping me track this down. This was introduced in 3.9 by commit c10d73671ad3 ("softirq: reduce latencies"). It may be worth looking into ath9k to see if it has issues with its irq handler at a later date.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

2013-04-03nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMONFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick, idle dynticks, full dynticks. As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure. It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now. So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ. On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default. But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into a circular dependency: 1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select CONFIG_NO_HZ 2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour. So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks (that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code) and select it from their referring Kconfig. Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ to it for backward compatibility.

2013-02-28irq: Don't re-enable interrupts at the end of irq_exitFrederic Weisbecker1-6/+1
Commit 74eed0163d0def3fce27228d9ccf3d36e207b286 "irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled" restore interrupts flags in the end of irq_exit() for archs that don't define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED. However always returning from irq_exit() with interrupts disabled should not be a problem for these archs. Prior to this commit this was already happening anytime we processed pending softirqs anyway.

2013-02-22irq: Remove IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET workaroundFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+1
The IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET trick was used to make sure the irq doesn't get preempted after we substract the HARDIRQ_OFFSET until we are entirely done with any code in irq_exit(). This workaround was necessary because some archs may call irq_exit() with irqs enabled and there is still some code in the end of this function that is not covered by the HARDIRQ_OFFSET but want to stay non-preemptible. Now that irq are always disabled in irq_exit(), the whole code is guaranteed not to be preempted. We can thus remove this hack.

2013-02-21irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabledThomas Gleixner1-0/+11
We had already a few problems with code called from irq_exit() when interrupted from a nesting interrupt. This can happen on architectures which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED. __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED should go away and we want to make it mandatory to call irq_exit() with interrupts disabled. As a temporary protection disable interrupts for those architectures which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED and add a WARN_ONCE when an architecture which defines __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED calls irq_exit() with interrupts enabled.

2013-01-27cputime: Safely read cputime of full dynticks CPUsFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+3
While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot. To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times() accessors.
