sched/core: Optimize in_task() and in_interrupt() a bit

2023-11-28T17:19:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 87c3a5893e865739ce78aa7192d36011022e0af7 ] Except on x86, preempt_count is always accessed with READ_ONCE(). Repeated invocations in macros like irq_count() produce repeated loads. These redundant instructions appear in various fast paths. In the one shown below, for example, irq_count() is evaluated during kernel entry if !tick_nohz_full_cpu(smp_processor_id()). 0001ed0a : 1ed0a: 4e56 0000 linkw %fp,#0 1ed0e: 200f movel %sp,%d0 1ed10: 0280 ffff e000 andil #-8192,%d0 1ed16: 2040 moveal %d0,%a0 1ed18: 2028 0008 movel %a0@(8),%d0 1ed1c: 0680 0001 0000 addil #65536,%d0 1ed22: 2140 0008 movel %d0,%a0@(8) 1ed26: 082a 0001 000f btst #1,%a2@(15) 1ed2c: 670c beqs 1ed3a 1ed2e: 2028 0008 movel %a0@(8),%d0 1ed32: 2028 0008 movel %a0@(8),%d0 1ed36: 2028 0008 movel %a0@(8),%d0 1ed3a: 4e5e unlk %fp 1ed3c: 4e75 rts This patch doesn't prevent the pointless btst and beqs instructions above, but it does eliminate 2 of the 3 pointless move instructions here and elsewhere. On x86, preempt_count is per-cpu data and the problem does not arise presumably because the compiler is free to optimize more effectively. This patch was tested on m68k and x86. I was expecting no changes to object code for x86 and mostly that's what I saw. However, there were a few places where code generation was perturbed for some reason. The performance issue addressed here is minor on uniprocessor m68k. I got a 0.01% improvement from this patch for a simple "find /sys -false" benchmark. For architectures and workloads susceptible to cache line bounce the improvement is expected to be larger. The only SMP architecture I have is x86, and as x86 unaffected I have not done any further measurements.

preempt: Provide preempt_[dis|en]able_nested()

2022-09-19T12:35:07+00:00

On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, spinlocks and rwlocks are neither disabling preemption nor interrupts. Though there are a few places which depend on the implicit preemption/interrupt disable of those locks, e.g. seqcount write sections, per CPU statistics updates etc. To avoid sprinkling CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT conditionals all over the place, add preempt_disable_nested() and preempt_enable_nested() which should be descriptive enough. Add a lockdep assertion for the !PREEMPT_RT case to catch callers which do not have preemption disabled.

tracing/perf: Add interrupt_context_level() helper

2021-10-20T00:33:20+00:00

Now that there are three different instances of doing the addition trick to the preempt_count() and NMI_MASK, HARDIRQ_MASK and SOFTIRQ_OFFSET macros, it deserves a helper function defined in the preempt.h header. Add the interrupt_context_level() helper and replace the three instances that do that logic with it.

sched: Make cond_resched_lock() variants RT aware

2021-10-01T11:57:51+00:00

The __might_resched() checks in the cond_resched_lock() variants use PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET for preempt count offset checking which takes the preemption disable by the spin_lock() which is still held at that point into account. On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels spin/rw_lock held sections stay preemptible which means PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET is 0, but that still triggers the __might_resched() check because that takes RCU read side nesting into account. On RT enabled kernels spin/read/write_lock() issue rcu_read_lock() to resemble the !RT semantics, which means in cond_resched_lock() the might resched check will see preempt_count() == 0 and rcu_preempt_depth() == 1. Introduce PREEMPT_LOCK_SCHED_OFFSET for those might resched checks and map them depending on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.

preempt: Adjust PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET for RT

2021-08-17T17:06:04+00:00

On PREEMPT_RT regular spinlocks and rwlocks are substituted with rtmutex based constructs. spin/rwlock held regions are preemptible on PREEMPT_RT, so PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET has to be 0 to make the various cond_resched_*lock() functions work correctly.

softirq: Add RT specific softirq accounting

2021-03-17T15:34:08+00:00

RT requires the softirq processing and local bottomhalf disabled regions to be preemptible. Using the normal preempt count based serialization is therefore not possible because this implicitely disables preemption. RT kernels use a per CPU local lock to serialize bottomhalfs. As local_bh_disable() can nest the lock can only be acquired on the outermost invocation of local_bh_disable() and released when the nest count becomes zero. Tasks which hold the local lock can be preempted so its required to keep track of the nest count per task. Add a RT only counter to task struct and adjust the relevant macros in preempt.h.

sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT

2020-11-24T10:25:44+00:00

Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no real compelling reason to make it only available for RT. There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce it implicitly. Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.
