2016-01-06sched/core: Fix unserialized r-m-w scribbling stuffPeter Zijlstra1-5/+6
Some of the sched bitfieds (notably sched_reset_on_fork) can be set on other than current, this can cause the r-m-w to race with other updates. Since all the sched bits are serialized by scheduler locks, pull them in a separate word.

2016-01-06sched/core: Check tgid in is_global_init()Sergey Senozhatsky1-2/+3
Our global init task can have sub-threads, so ->pid check is not reliable enough for is_global_init(), we need to check tgid instead. This has been spotted by Oleg and a fix was proposed by Richard a long time ago (see the link below). Oleg wrote: : Because is_global_init() is only true for the main thread of /sbin/init. : : Just look at oom_unkillable_task(). It tries to not kill init. But, say, : select_bad_process() can happily find a sub-thread of is_global_init() : and still kill it. I recently hit the problem in question; re-sending the patch (to the best of my knowledge it has never been submitted) with updated function comment. Credit goes to Oleg and Richard.

2015-11-09coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumpsRoss Zwisler1-1/+3
Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very large. Update the coredump_filter documentation in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF binaries and coredump are enabled.

2015-11-07signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()Oleg Nesterov1-5/+6
1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper. 2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current. 3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL. 4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

2015-11-07signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()Oleg Nesterov1-6/+1
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example, 1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the group stop. 2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or SIGKILL. And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least the last 10+ years. Daniel said: Yeah the only times I played around with the DRM_LOCK stuff was when old drivers accidentally deadlocked - my impression is that the entire DRM_LOCK thing was never really tested properly ;-) Hence I'm all for purging where this leaks out of the drm subsystem.

2015-11-06memcg: punt high overage reclaim to return-to-userland pathTejun Heo1-0/+3
Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have __GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating memory regardless of the high limit. This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path. As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently. It also has the following benefits. - All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached. - It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit path this issue can be avoided.

This was temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this merge window resolves the issue. - On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows ->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices. - Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies (e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes. - Optimization of a couple common tests using static_key" * 'for-4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (38 commits) cgroup: fix race condition around termination check in css_task_iter_next() blkcg: don't create "io.stat" on the root cgroup cgroup: drop cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl cgroup: replace error handling in cgroup_init() with WARN_ON()s cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method and use it to fix pids controller cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups cgroup: make css_set_rwsem a spinlock and rename it to css_set_lock cgroup: don't hold css_set_rwsem across css task iteration cgroup: reorganize css_task_iter functions cgroup: factor out css_set_move_task() cgroup: keep css_set and task lists in chronological order cgroup: make cgroup_destroy_locked() test cgroup_is_populated() cgroup: make css_sets pin the associated cgroups cgroup: relocate cgroup_[try]get/put() cgroup: move check_for_release() invocation cgroup: replace cgroup_has_tasks() with cgroup_is_populated() cgroup: make cgroup->nr_populated count the number of populated css_sets cgroup: remove an unused parameter from cgroup_task_migrate() cgroup: fix too early usage of static_branch_disable() cgroup: make cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically ...

2015-10-15posix_cpu_timer: Reduce unnecessary sighand lock contentionJason Low1-0/+3
It was found while running a database workload on large systems that significant time was spent trying to acquire the sighand lock. The issue was that whenever an itimer expired, many threads ended up simultaneously trying to send the signal. Most of the time, nothing happened after acquiring the sighand lock because another thread had just already sent the signal and updated the "next expire" time. The fastpath_timer_check() didn't help much since the "next expire" time was updated after the threads exit fastpath_timer_check(). This patch addresses this by having the thread_group_cputimer structure maintain a boolean to signify when a thread in the group is already checking for process wide timers, and adds extra logic in the fastpath to check the boolean.

2015-10-13bpf: charge user for creation of BPF maps and programsAlexei Starovoitov1-1/+1
since eBPF programs and maps use kernel memory consider it 'locked' memory from user accounting point of view and charge it against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit. This limit is typically set to 64Kbytes by distros, so almost all bpf+tracing programs would need to increase it, since they use maps, but kernel charges maximum map size upfront. For example the hash map of 1024 elements will be charged as 64Kbyte. It's inconvenient for current users and changes current behavior for root, but probably worth doing to be consistent root vs non-root. Similar accounting logic is done by mmap of perf_event.

2015-10-06sched/core: Create preempt_count invariantPeter Zijlstra1-5/+12
Assuming units of PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET for preempt_count() numbers. Now that TASK_DEAD no longer results in preempt_count() == 3 during scheduling, we will always call context_switch() with preempt_count() == 2. However, we don't always end up with preempt_count() == 2 in finish_task_switch() because new tasks get created with preempt_count() == 1.

As per the following commit: d86ee4809d03 ("sched: optimize cond_resched()") we need PREEMPT_ACTIVE to avoid cond_resched() from working before the scheduler is set up. However, keeping preemption disabled should do the same thing already, making the PREEMPT_ACTIVE part entirely redundant. The only complication is !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, where PREEMPT_DISABLED ends up being 0. Instead we use an unconditional PREEMPT_OFFSET to set preempt_count() even on !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels.

2015-09-21rcu: Use single-stage IPI algorithm for RCU expedited grace periodPaul E. McKenney1-4/+6
The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the ->blkd_tasks lists to drain. This works, but results in both an IPI and a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section. This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter. This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs. If a CPU receiving this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree, otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree. The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods. This new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state, courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to the root rcu_node structure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-09-16sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsemTejun Heo1-12/+0
Note: This commit was originally committed as d59cfc09c32a but got reverted by 0c986253b939 due to the performance regression from the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task migration path. percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window. Re-apply. The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem to synchronize against threadgroup changes. This per-process rwsem adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across multiple processes. This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader side and contained in cgroups proper. This patch converts one-to-one. This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however, cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue. For now, revert the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.

2015-09-13sched/fair: Make utilization tracking CPU scale-invariantDietmar Eggemann1-1/+1
Besides the existing frequency scale-invariance correction factor, apply CPU scale-invariance correction factor to utilization tracking to compensate for any differences in compute capacity. This could be due to micro-architectural differences (i.e. instructions per seconds) between cpus in HMP systems (e.g. big.LITTLE), and/or differences in the current maximum frequency supported by individual cpus in SMP systems. In the existing implementation utilization isn't comparable between cpus as it is relative to the capacity of each individual CPU. Each segment of the sched_avg.util_sum geometric series is now scaled by the CPU performance factor too so the sched_avg.util_avg of each sched entity will be invariant from the particular CPU of the HMP/SMP system on which the sched entity is scheduled. With this patch, the utilization of a CPU stays relative to the max CPU performance of the fastest CPU in the system. In contrast to utilization (sched_avg.util_sum), load (sched_avg.load_sum) should not be scaled by compute capacity. The utilization metric is based on running time which only makes sense when cpus are _not_ fully utilized (utilization cannot go beyond 100% even if more tasks are added), where load is runnable time which isn't limited by the capacity of the CPU and therefore is a better metric for overloaded scenarios. If we run two nice-0 busy loops on two cpus with different compute capacity their load should be similar since their compute demands are the same. We have to assume that the compute demand of any task running on a fully utilized CPU (no spare cycles = 100% utilization) is high and the same no matter of the compute capacity of its current CPU, hence we shouldn't scale load by CPU capacity.

2015-09-05mm: defer flush of writable TLB entriesMel Gorman1-0/+7
If a PTE is unmapped and it's dirty then it was writable recently. Due to deferred TLB flushing, it's best to assume a writable TLB cache entry exists. With that assumption, the TLB must be flushed before any IO can start or the page is freed to avoid lost writes or data corruption. This patch defers flushing of potentially writable TLBs as long as possible.

2015-09-05mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pagesMel Gorman1-0/+16
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate CPUs. On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost is lower than flushing individual entries. Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee. If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault. This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case. The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM. Linear mapped reader on a 4-node machine with 64G RAM and 48 CPUs 4.2.0-rc1 4.2.0-rc1 vanilla flushfull-v7 Ops lru-file-mmap-read-elapsed 159.62 ( 0.00%) 120.68 ( 24.40%) Ops lru-file-mmap-read-time_range 30.59 ( 0.00%) 2.80 ( 90.85%) Ops lru-file-mmap-read-time_stddv 6.70 ( 0.00%) 0.64 ( 90.38%) 4.2.0-rc1 4.2.0-rc1 vanilla flushfull-v7 User 581.00 611.43 System 5804.93 4111.76 Elapsed 161.03 122.12 This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second. The impact is lower on a single socket machine. 4.2.0-rc1 4.2.0-rc1 vanilla flushfull-v7 Ops lru-file-mmap-read-elapsed 25.33 ( 0.00%) 20.38 ( 19.54%) Ops lru-file-mmap-read-time_range 0.91 ( 0.00%) 1.44 (-58.24%) Ops lru-file-mmap-read-time_stddv 0.28 ( 0.00%) 0.47 (-65.34%) 4.2.0-rc1 4.2.0-rc1 vanilla flushfull-v7 User 58.09 57.64 System 111.82 76.56 Elapsed 27.29 22.55 It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second. The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not resident at all.

2015-08-03sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average trackingYuyang Du1-23/+18
The idea of runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to weight) was proposed by Paul Turner and Ben Segall, and it is still followed by this rewrite. This rewrite aims to solve the following issues: 1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is updated at the granularity of an entity at a time, which results in the cfs_rq's load average is stale or partially updated: at any time, only one entity is up to date, all other entities are effectively lagging behind. This is undesirable. To illustrate, if we have n runnable entities in the cfs_rq, as time elapses, they certainly become outdated: t0: cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_old, ..., en_old } and when we update: t1: update e1, then we have cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_old, ..., en_old } t2: update e2, then we have cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_new, ..., en_old } ... We solve this by combining all runnable entities' load averages together in cfs_rq's avg, and update the cfs_rq's avg as a whole. This is based on the fact that if we regard the update as a function, then: w * update(e) = update(w * e) and update(e1) + update(e2) = update(e1 + e2), then w1 * update(e1) + w2 * update(e2) = update(w1 * e1 + w2 * e2) therefore, by this rewrite, we have an entirely updated cfs_rq at the time we update it: t1: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new } t2: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new } ... 2. cfs_rq's load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other task_group's per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average contributes to the load. The basic idea behind runnable load average (the same for utilization) is that the blocked state is taken into account as opposed to only accounting for the currently runnable state. Therefore, the average should include both the runnable/running and blocked load averages. This rewrite does that. In addition, we also combine runnable/running and blocked averages of all entities into the cfs_rq's average, and update it together at once. This is based on the fact that: update(runnable) + update(blocked) = update(runnable + blocked) This significantly reduces the code as we don't need to separately maintain/update runnable/running load and blocked load. 3. How task_group entities' share is calculated is complex and imprecise. We reduce the complexity in this rewrite to allow a very simple rule: the task_group's load_avg is aggregated from its per CPU cfs_rqs's load_avgs. Then group entity's weight is simply proportional to its own cfs_rq's load_avg / task_group's load_avg. To illustrate, if a task_group has { cfs_rq1, cfs_rq2, ..., cfs_rqn }, then, task_group_avg = cfs_rq1_avg + cfs_rq2_avg + ... + cfs_rqn_avg, then cfs_rqx's entity's share = cfs_rqx_avg / task_group_avg * task_group's share To sum up, this rewrite in principle is equivalent to the current one, but fixes the issues described above. Turns out, it significantly reduces the code complexity and hence increases clarity and efficiency. In addition, the new averages are more smooth/continuous (no spurious spikes and valleys) and updated more consistently and quickly to reflect the load dynamics. As a result, we have less load tracking overhead, better performance, and especially better power efficiency due to more balanced load.

2015-07-18x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'Dave Hansen1-2/+10
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.

2015-06-26clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magicJosh Triplett1-0/+15
clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system call entry point across architectures. The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt into this. These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if anyone would prefer that. This patch (of 2): clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls in). Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific position of the tls argument. However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments. Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into, and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass that down to copy_thread_tls. Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone syscall.

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner1-5/+1
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.
