2015-07-21locking/pvqspinlock: Fix kernel panic in locking-selftestWaiman Long1-1/+10
Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following kernel panic: kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137! This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed if it contains an unexpected value. With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed without any noise.

2015-07-21sched/idle: Move latency tracing stop/start calls deeper inside the idle loopLucas Stach1-9/+5
Make sure to stop tracing only once we are past a point where all latency tracing events have been processed (irqs are not enabled again). This has the slight advantage of capturing more latency related events in the idle path, but most importantly it makes sure that latency tracing doesn't get re-enabled inadvertently when new events are coming in. This makes the irqsoff latency tracer useful again, as we stop capturing CPU sleep time as IRQ latency.

2015-07-21test_bpf: add bpf_skb_vlan_push/pop() testsAlexei Starovoitov1-0/+1
improve accuracy of timing in test_bpf and add two stress tests: - {skb->data[0], get_smp_processor_id} repeated 2k times - {skb->data[0], vlan_push} x 68 followed by {skb->data[0], vlan_pop} x 68 1st test is useful to test performance of JIT implementation of BPF_LD_ABS together with BPF_CALL instructions. 2nd test is stressing skb_vlan_push/pop logic together with skb->data access via BPF_LD_ABS insn which checks that re-caching of skb->data is done correctly. In order to call bpf_skb_vlan_push() from test_bpf.ko have to add three export_symbol_gpl. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-07-21tracing: Introduce two additional marks for delayJungseok Lee1-1/+3
A fine granulity support for delay would be very useful when profiling VM logics, such as page allocation including page reclaim and memory compaction with function graph. Thus, this patch adds two additional marks with two changes. - An equal sign in mark selection function is removed to align code behavior with comments and documentation. - The function graph example related to delay in ftrace.txt is updated to cover all supported marks.

2015-07-21tracing: Clean up stack tracing and fix fentry updatesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-45/+23
Akashi Takahiro was porting the stack tracer to arm64 and found some issues with it. One was that it repeats the top function, due to the stack frame added by the mcount caller and added by itself. This was added when fentry came in, and before fentry created its own stack frame. But x86's fentry now creates its own stack frame, and there's no need to insert the function again. This also cleans up the code a bit, where it doesn't need to do something special for fentry, and doesn't include insertion of a duplicate entry for the called function being traced.

2015-07-21ring-buffer: Make sure event has enough room for extend and paddingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-0/+15
Now that events only add time extends after it is committed, in case an event comes in before it can discard the allocated event, the time extend needs to be stored within the event. If the event is bigger than then size needed for the time extend, padding must be added. The minimum padding size is 8 bytes. Thus if the event is 12 bytes (size of time extend + 4), there will not be enough room to add both the time extend and padding. Make sure all events are either 8 bytes or 16 or more bytes.

2015-07-21ring-buffer: Get timestamp after event is allocatedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-47/+114
Move the capturing of the timestamp to after an event is allocated. If the event is not a commit (where it is an event that preempted another event), then no timestamp is needed, because the delta of nested events is always zero. If the event starts on a new page, no delta needs to be calculated as the full timestamp will be added to the page header, and the event will have a delta of zero. Now if the event requires a time extend (the delta does not fit in the 27 bit delta slot in the header), then the event is discarded, the length is extended to hold the TIME_EXTEND event that allows for a 59 bit delta, and the commit is tried again. If the event can't be discarded (another event came in after it), then the TIME_EXTEND is added directly to the allocated event and the rest of the event is given padding.

2015-07-20futex: Fault/error injection capabilitiesDavidlohr Bueso1-2/+87
Although futexes are well known for being a royal pita, we really have very little debugging capabilities - except for relying on tglx's eye half the time. By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery, we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time. Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of this. There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

2015-07-18x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'Dave Hansen1-1/+7
The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'. But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance). Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab allocation at fork(). The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too fragile.

2015-07-18rcu: Consolidate last open-coded expedited memory barrierPaul E. McKenney2-2/+1
One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function. This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The type of "s" has been "long" rather than the correct "unsigned long" for quite some time. This commit fixes this type error. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Abstract funnel locking from synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney1-33/+47
This commit abstracts funnel locking from synchronize_sched_expedited() so that it may be used by synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Make synchronize_rcu_expedited() use sequence-counter schemePaul E. McKenney1-10/+6
Although synchronize_rcu_expedited() uses a sequence-counter scheme, it is based on a single increment per grace period, which means that tasks piggybacking off of concurrent grace periods may be forced to wait longer than necessary. This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.

2015-07-18rcu: Abstract sequence counting from synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney1-10/+58
This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot. These will be applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(), which will be applied to _rcu_barrier(). One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition, the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change, where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Make expedited GP CPU stoppage asynchronousPeter Zijlstra3-15/+25
Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

2015-07-18rcu: Get rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s polling loopPaul E. McKenney3-59/+47
This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock() polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node tree. The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing high-contention situations to be resolved quickly with reasonable levels of mutex contention. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Rework synchronize_sched_expedited() counter handlingPaul E. McKenney3-83/+36
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme. A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise. So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has already happened. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Switch synchronize_sched_expedited() to stop_one_cpu()Peter Zijlstra2-27/+15
The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(), which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU, and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs. This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the code a little bit. Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

2015-07-18rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFOPaul E. McKenney2-49/+0
The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot be disabled. This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Stop disabling CPU hotplug in synchronize_rcu_expedited()Paul E. McKenney1-23/+2
The fact that tasks could be migrated from leaf to root rcu_node structures meant that synchronize_rcu_expedited() had to disable CPU hotplug. However, tasks now stay put, so this commit removes the CPU-hotplug disabling from synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Reset rcu_fanout_leaf if out of boundsPaul E. McKenney1-0/+1
Currently if the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter is out of bounds (that is, less than RCU_FANOUT_LEAF or greater than the number of bits in an unsigned long), a warning is issued and execution continues with the out-of-bounds value. This can result in all manner of failures, so this patch resets rcu_fanout_leaf to RCU_FANOUT_LEAF when an out-of-bounds condition is detected. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-18rcu: Shut up bogus gcc array bounds warningAlexander Gordeev1-1/+3
Because gcc does not realize a loop would not be entered ever (i.e. in case of rcu_num_lvls == 1): for (i = 1; i < rcu_num_lvls; i++) rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + levelcnt[i - 1]; some compiler (pre- 5.x?) versions give a bogus warning: kernel/rcu/tree.c: In function ‘rcu_init_one.isra.55’: kernel/rcu/tree.c:4108:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + rsp->levelcnt[i - 1]; ^ Fix that warning by adding an extra item to rcu_state::level[] array. Once the bogus warning is fixed in gcc and kernel drops support of older versions, the dummy item may be removed from the array. Cc: "Paul E.

2015-07-17genirq: Prevent resend to interrupts marked IRQ_NESTED_THREADThomas Gleixner1-5/+13
The resend mechanism happily calls the interrupt handler of interrupts which are marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD from softirq context. This can result in crashes because the interrupt handler is not the proper way to invoke the device handlers. They must be invoked via handle_nested_irq. Prevent the resend even if the interrupt has no valid parent irq set. Its better to have a lost interrupt than a crashing machine.

2015-07-16rcutorture: Add RCU-tasks qualifier to dereferencePaul E. McKenney1-2/+14
Although RCU-tasks isn't really designed to support rcu_dereference() and list manipulation, that is how rcutorture tests it. Which means that lockdep-RCU complains about the rcu_dereference_check() invocations because RCU-tasks doesn't have read-side markers. This commit therefore creates a torturing_tasks() to silence the lockdep-RCU complaints from rcu_dereference_check() when RCU-tasks is being tortured. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The rcu_torture_cbflood() function correctly checks for flavors of RCU that lack analogs to call_rcu() and rcu_barrier(), but in that case it fails to terminate correctly. In fact, it terminates so incorrectly that segfaults can result. This commit therefore causes rcu_torture_cbflood() to do the proper wait-for-stop procedure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
