sched: add a few helpers to wake up tasks on the current cpu

2023-07-17T23:08:08+00:00

Add complete_on_current_cpu, wake_up_poll_on_current_cpu helpers to wake up tasks on the current CPU. These two helpers are useful when the task needs to make a synchronous context switch to another task. In this context, synchronous means it wakes up the target task and falls asleep right after that. One example of such workloads is seccomp user notifies. This mechanism allows the supervisor process handles system calls on behalf of a target process. While the supervisor is handling an intercepted system call, the target process will be blocked in the kernel, waiting for a response to come back. On-CPU context switches are much faster than regular ones.

completion: Drop init_completion define

2020-12-03T10:20:52+00:00

Changeset cd8084f91c02 ("locking/lockdep: Apply crossrelease to completions") added a CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE (that was later renamed to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS). Such changeset renamed the init_completion, and add a macro that would either run a modified version or the original code. However, such code reported too many false positives. So, it ended being dropped later on by changeset e966eaeeb623 ("locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks"). Yet, the define remained there as just: #define init_completion(x) __init_completion(x) Get rid of the define, and return __init_completion() function to its original name.

completion: Use simple wait queues

2020-03-21T15:00:24+00:00

completion uses a wait_queue_head_t to enqueue waiters. wait_queue_head_t contains a spinlock_t to protect the list of waiters which excludes it from being used in truly atomic context on a PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel. The spinlock in the wait queue head cannot be replaced by a raw_spinlock because: - wait queues can have custom wakeup callbacks, which acquire other spinlock_t locks and have potentially long execution times - wake_up() walks an unbounded number of list entries during the wake up and may wake an unbounded number of waiters. For simplicity and performance reasons complete() should be usable on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. completions do not use custom wakeup callbacks and are usually single waiter, except for a few corner cases. Replace the wait queue in the completion with a simple wait queue (swait), which uses a raw_spinlock_t for protecting the waiter list and therefore is safe to use inside truly atomic regions on PREEMPT_RT. There is no semantical or functional change: - completions use the exclusive wait mode which is what swait provides - complete() wakes one exclusive waiter - complete_all() wakes all waiters while holding the lock which protects the wait queue against newly incoming waiters. The conversion to swait preserves this behaviour. complete_all() might cause unbound latencies with a large number of waiters being woken at once, but most complete_all() usage sites are either in testing or initialization code or have only a really small number of concurrent waiters which for now does not cause a latency problem. Keep it simple for now. The fixup of the warning check in the USB gadget driver is just a straight forward conversion of the lockless waiter check from one waitqueue type to the other.

locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks

2017-12-12T11:38:51+00:00

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y), while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably a worse overall outcome. If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity. Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's a marked difference between annotating locking operations and uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ... This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already, so we cannot risk this outcome. Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives, or it should not be included in the upstream kernel. ( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were introduced. ) Cc: Byungchul Park Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched/completions: Add support for initializing completions with lockdep_map

2017-10-25T10:19:03+00:00

Sometimes we want to initialize completions with sparate lockdep maps to assign lock classes as desired. For example, the workqueue code needs to directly manage lockdep maps, since only the code is aware of how to classify lockdep maps properly. Provide additional macros initializing completions in that way.
