2015-04-15mm: allow compaction of unevictable pagesEric B Munson1-0/+9
Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from compaction, but not from other types of migration. The POSIX real time extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults. However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion. The compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve this state. This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction behavior with respect to the unevictable lru. Users who demand no page faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0 and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on locked memory by leaving the default value of 1. To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a large number of 1MB files filled with random data. These maps are created locked and read only. Then every other mmap is unmapped and I attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool. When the compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages after fragmenting memory. When the value is set to 1, allocations succeed.

2015-04-15memcg: zap mem_cgroup_lookup()Vladimir Davydov1-1/+1
mem_cgroup_lookup() is a wrapper around mem_cgroup_from_id(), which checks that id != 0 before issuing the function call. Today, there is no point in this additional check apart from optimization, because there is no css with id <= 0, so that css_from_id, called by mem_cgroup_from_id, will return NULL for any id <= 0. Since mem_cgroup_from_id is only called from mem_cgroup_lookup, let us zap mem_cgroup_lookup, substituting calls to it with mem_cgroup_from_id and moving the check if id > 0 to css_from_id.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt. 2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers can support hw switch offloading. From Floria Fainelli. 3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave, from Madhu Challa. 4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck. 5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel Borkmann. 6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25, rose, etc. And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to implement MPLS support. All from Eric Biederman. 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman. 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck. 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation, from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty table, we expand the table much more sanely. 10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric Biederman. 11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov. 12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be established in the main hash table. Much less false sharing since hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed underneath. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk. 14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard Cochran. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1816 commits) fm10k: Bump driver version to 0.15.2 fm10k: corrected VF multicast update fm10k: mbx_update_max_size does not drop all oversized messages fm10k: reset head instead of calling update_max_size fm10k: renamed mbx_tx_dropped to mbx_tx_oversized fm10k: update xcast mode before synchronizing multicast addresses fm10k: start service timer on probe fm10k: fix function header comment fm10k: comment next_vf_mbx flow fm10k: don't handle mailbox events in iov_event path and always process mailbox fm10k: use separate workqueue for fm10k driver fm10k: Set PF queues to unlimited bandwidth during virtualization fm10k: expose tx_timeout_count as an ethtool stat fm10k: only increment tx_timeout_count in Tx hang path fm10k: remove extraneous "Reset interface" message fm10k: separate PF only stats so that VF does not display them fm10k: use hw->mac.max_queues for stats fm10k: only show actual queues, not the maximum in hardware fm10k: allow creation of VLAN on default vid fm10k: fix unused warnings ...

2015-04-14watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanismUlrich Obergfell2-76/+40
With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

2015-04-14watchdog: implement error handling for failure to set up hardware perf eventsUlrich Obergfell1-0/+30

2015-04-14watchdog: introduce proc_watchdog_common()Ulrich Obergfell1-0/+65
Three of four handlers for the watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel essentially have to do the same thing. if the parameter is being read { return the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled' } else { set/clear the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled' update the run state of the lockup detector(s) } Hence, introduce a common function that can be called by those handlers. The callers pass a 'bit mask' to this function to indicate which bit(s) should be set/cleared in 'watchdog_enabled'. This function handles an uncommon race with watchdog_nmi_enable() where a concurrent update of 'watchdog_enabled' is possible. We use 'cmpxchg' to detect the concurrency. [This avoids introducing a new spinlock or a mutex to synchronize updates of 'watchdog_enabled'. Using the same lock or mutex in watchdog thread context and in system call context needs to be considered carefully because it can make the code prone to deadlock situations in connection with parking/unparking the watchdog threads.] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-04-14watchdog: new definitions and variables, initializationUlrich Obergfell1-1/+26
The hardlockup and softockup had always been tied together. Due to the request of KVM folks, they had a need to have one enabled but not the other. Internally rework the code to split things apart more cleanly. There is a bunch of churn here, but the end result should be code that should be easier to maintain and fix without knowing the internals of what is going on. This patch (of 9): Introduce new definitions and variables to separate the user interface in /proc/sys/kernel from the internal run state of the lockup detectors. The internal run state is represented by two bits in a new variable that is named 'watchdog_enabled'. This helps simplify the code, for example: - In order to check if any of the two lockup detectors is enabled, it is sufficient to check if 'watchdog_enabled' is not zero. - In order to enable/disable one or both lockup detectors, it is sufficient to set/clear one or both bits in 'watchdog_enabled'. - Concurrent updates of 'watchdog_enabled' need not be synchronized via a spinlock or a mutex. Updates can either be atomic or concurrency can be detected by using 'cmpxchg'.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar: "Core kernel changes: - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed by the kernel) to kprobes. This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively. (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might allow unprivileged use as well.) (Alexei Starovoitov) - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock sources for event timestamps traced via perf. This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated events with external events that were measured with different clocks: - cluster wide profiling - for system wide tracing with user-space events, - JIT profiling events etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al. (Peter Zijlstra) Hardware enablement kernel changes: - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs. The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous. This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result. A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU. More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well - will probably be ready by 4.2. (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra) - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads. These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged as a cgroup extension.) (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P Waskiewicz Jr) - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option: perf record --call-graph lbr perf report or: perf top --call-graph lbr This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf based unwinding, but has some limitations: - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. (Yan, Zheng) - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and event table fixes for earlier models. (Andi Kleen) - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and is transparent. (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian) The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to the tooling changes outlined above: User visible changes affecting all tools: - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa) - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song) - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa) - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song) - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible changes in individual tools: 'perf data': New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior) 'perf diff': Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern) 'perf list': Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song) Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song) 'perf kmem': Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa) Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim) Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim) Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim) 'perf probe': Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu) Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu) Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu) 'perf record': Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra) Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen) 'perf sched': Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song) 'perf report' and 'perf top': Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern) Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) 'perf stat': Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints. Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT() macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools. The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this in its format file: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) After adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); Its format file will contain this: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" })" * tag 'trace-v4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Add enum_map file to show enums that have been mapped writeback: Export enums used by tracepoint to user space v4l: Export enums used by tracepoints to user space SUNRPC: Export enums in tracepoints to user space mm: tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space irq/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace net/9p/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to userspace x86/tlb/trace: Export enums in used by tlb_flush tracepoint tracing/samples: Update the trace-event-sample.h with TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() tracing: Allow for modules to convert their enums to values tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation tracing: Give system name a pointer brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header iwlwifi: Move each system tracepoints to their own header mac80211: Move message tracepoints to their own header tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to xhci-hcd tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to kvm-s390 tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to intel-sst ...

2015-04-13cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to schedulerPaul E. McKenney1-3/+31
Currently, smpboot_unpark_threads() is invoked before the incoming CPU has been added to the scheduler's runqueue structures. This might potentially cause the unparked kthread to run on the wrong CPU, since the correct CPU isn't fully set up yet. That causes a sporadic, hard to debug boot crash triggering on some systems, reported by Borislav Petkov, and bisected down to: 2a442c9c6453 ("x86: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code") This patch places smpboot_unpark_threads() in a CPU hotplug notifier with priority set so that these kthreads are unparked just after the CPU has been added to the runqueues.

2015-04-08Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunksLinus Torvalds1-1/+18
Unlike most (all?) other copies from user space, kernel module loading is almost unlimited in size. So we do a potentially huge "copy_from_user()" when we copy the module data from user space to the kernel buffer, which can be a latency concern when preemption is disabled (or voluntary). Also, because 'copy_from_user()' clears the tail of the kernel buffer on failures, even a *failed* copy can end up wasting a lot of time. Normally neither of these are concerns in real life, but they do trigger when doing stress-testing with trinity. Running in a VM seems to add its own overheadm causing trinity module load testing to even trigger the watchdog. The simple fix is to just chunk up the module loading, so that it never tries to copy insanely big areas in one go. That bounds the latency, and also the amount of (unnecessarily, in this case) cleared memory for the failure case.

2015-04-08genirq: Allow the irqchip state of an IRQ to be save/restoredMarc Zyngier1-0/+91
There is a number of cases where a kernel subsystem may want to introspect the state of an interrupt at the irqchip level: - When a peripheral is shared between virtual machines, its interrupt state becomes part of the guest's state, and must be switched accordingly. KVM on arm/arm64 requires this for its guest-visible timer - Some GPIO controllers seem to require peeking into the interrupt controller they are connected to to report their internal state This seem to be a pattern that is common enough for the core code to try and support this without too many horrible hacks. Introduce a pair of accessors (irq_get_irqchip_state/irq_set_irqchip_state) to retrieve the bits that can be of interest to another subsystem: pending, active, and masked. - irq_get_irqchip_state returns the state of the interrupt according to a parameter set to IRQCHIP_STATE_PENDING, IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE, IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED or IRQCHIP_STATE_LINE_LEVEL. - irq_set_irqchip_state similarly sets the state of the interrupt.

2015-04-08tracing: Add enum_map file to show enums that have been mappedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2-4/+269
Add a enum_map file in the tracing directory to see what enums have been saved to convert in the print fmt files. As this requires the enum mapping to be persistent in memory, it is only created if the new config option CONFIG_TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE is enabled. This is for debugging and will increase the persistent memory footprint of the kernel.

2015-04-08tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their valuesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)3-1/+146
Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

2015-04-07mm: numa: disable change protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB)Naoya Horiguchi1-1/+3
Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with PROTNONE, unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb subsystem into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example h->resv_huge_pages is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very large number, and the free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable. This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix the problem. And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor faults.

2015-04-06workqueue: Reorder sysfs codeFrederic Weisbecker1-317/+318
The sysfs code usually belongs to the botom of the file since it deals with high level objects. In the workqueue code it's misplaced and such that we'll need to work around functions references to allow the sysfs code to call APIs like apply_workqueue_attrs(). Lets move that block further in the file, almost the botom. And declare workqueue_sysfs_unregister() just before destroy_workqueue() which reference it. tj: Moved workqueue_sysfs_unregister() forward declaration where other forward declarations are.
