sched: Make migrate_{en,dis}able() inline

2025-09-25T07:57:16+00:00

For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry): 54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k] bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry 10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable 10.07% bpf_trampoline_6442517037 [k] bpf_trampoline_6442517037 8.06% [kernel] [k] __bpf_prog_exit_recur 4.11% libc.so.6 [.] syscall 2.15% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64 1.48% [kernel] [k] memchr_inv 1.32% [kernel] [k] fput 1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user 0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline. Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1], so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with "(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned". The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c. Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in ___migrate_enable(). The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr(): typeof((ptr) + 0) So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with arch_raw_cpu_ptr/PERCPU_PTR directly. The variable "runqueues" is not visible in the kernel modules, and export it is not a good idea. As Peter Zijlstra advised in [2], we define and export migrate_enable/migrate_disable in kernel/sched/core.c too, and use them for the modules. Before this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY is: fentry : 113.030 ± 0.149M/s fentry : 112.501 ± 0.187M/s fentry : 112.828 ± 0.267M/s fentry : 115.287 ± 0.241M/s After this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY increases to: fentry : 143.644 ± 0.670M/s fentry : 149.764 ± 0.362M/s fentry : 149.642 ± 0.156M/s fentry : 145.263 ± 0.221M/s Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAADnVQ+5sEDKHdsJY5ZsfGDO_1SEhhQWHrt2SMBG5SYyQ+jt7w@mail.gmail.com/ [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250819123214.GH4067720@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/ [2]

drm: ensure drm headers are self-contained and pass kernel-doc

2025-02-12T08:44:43+00:00

Ensure drm headers build, are self-contained, have header guards, and have no kernel-doc warnings, when CONFIG_DRM_HEADER_TEST=y. The mechanism follows similar patters used in i915, xe, and usr/include. To cover include/drm, we need to recurse there using the top level Kbuild and the new include/Kbuild files. v4: check for CONFIG_WERROR in addition to CONFIG_DRM_WERROR v3: adapt to upstream build changes v2: make DRM_HEADER_TEST depend on DRM Suggested-by: Daniel Vetter Cc: David Airlie Cc: Daniel Vetter Cc: Maarten Lankhorst Cc: Maxime Ripard Cc: Thomas Zimmermann Cc: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Simona Vetter Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/d8ad1c6d707f38a55987f616cb9650aef30b84e1.1737556766.git.jani.nikula@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

kbuild: list sub-directories in ./Kbuild

2022-09-28T19:41:31+00:00

Use the ordinary obj-y syntax to list subdirectories. Note1: Previously, the link order of lib-y depended on CONFIG_MODULES; lib-y was linked before drivers-y when CONFIG_MODULES=y, otherwise after drivers-y. This was a bug of commit 7273ad2b08f8 ("kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y"), but it was not a big deal after all. Now, all objects listed in lib-y are linked last, irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES. Note2: Finally, the single target build in arch/*/lib/ works correctly. There was a bug report about this.

kbuild: check sha1sum just once for each atomic header

2022-09-28T19:40:14+00:00

It is unneeded to check the sha1sum every time. Create the timestamp files to manage it. Add '.' to clean-dirs because 'make clean' must visit ./Kbuild to clean up the timestamp files. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: add phony targets to ./Kbuild

2022-09-28T17:00:29+00:00

missing-syscalls and old-atomics are meant to be phony targets. Adding them to always-y is odd. (always-y should generate something). Add a new phony target 'prepare', which depends on all the other. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07+00:00

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

kbuild: do not descend to ./Kbuild when cleaning

2019-08-21T12:03:58+00:00

'make clean' descends into ./Kbuild, but does not clean anything since everything is added to no-clean-files. There is no need to descend to ./Kbuild in the first place. We can drop the no-clean-files assignment. With this, there is no more user of no-clean-files. I will keep it for a while to see whether a new user will appear. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
