* sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar2017-03-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <uapi/linux/sched/types.h> We are going to move scheduler ABI details to <uapi/linux/sched/types.h>, which will be used from a number of .c files. Create empty placeholder header that maps to <linux/types.h>. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

* ACPI/PAD: Remove the local APIC nonsenseThomas Gleixner2015-04-031-21/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While looking through the (ab)use of the clockevents_notify() function I stumbled over the following gem in the acpi_pad code: if (lapic_detected_unstable && !lapic_marked_unstable) { /* LAPIC could halt in idle, so notify users */ for_each_online_cpu(i) clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON, &i); lapic_marked_unstable = 1; } This code calls on the cpu which detects the lapic unstable condition first clockevents_notify() to tell the core code that the broadcast should be enabled on all online cpus. Brilliant stuff that as it notifies the core code a num_online_cpus() times that the broadcast should be enabled on the current cpu. This probably has never been noticed because that code got never tested with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES_TIMER=n or it just worked by chance because one of the other mechanisms told the core in the right way that the local apic timer is wreckaged. Sigh, this is: - The 4th incarnation of idle drivers which has their own mechanism to detect and deal with X86_FEATURE_ARAT. - The 2nd incarnation of fake idle mechanisms with a different set of brainmelting bugs. - Has been merged against an explicit NAK of the scheduler maintainer with the promise to improve it over time. - Another example of featuritis driven trainwreck engineering. - Another pointless waste of my time. Fix this nonsense by removing that lapic detection and notification logic and simply call into the clockevents code unconditonally. The ARAT feature is marked in the lapic clockevent already so the core code will just ignore the requests and return. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* cpumask: factor out show_cpumap into separate helper functionSudeep Holla2014-11-071-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many sysfs *_show function use cpu{list,mask}_scnprintf to copy cpumap to the buffer aligned to PAGE_SIZE, append '\n' and '\0' to return null terminated buffer with newline.

* ACPI / PAD: call schedule() when need_resched() is trueTony Camuso2014-04-281-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of the acpi_pad driver is to implement the "processor power aggregator" device as described in the ACPI 4.0 spec section 8.5. It takes requests from the BIOS (via ACPI) to put a specified number of CPUs into idle, in order to save power, until further notice. It does this by creating high-priority threads that try to keep the CPUs in a high C-state (using the monitor/mwait CPU instructions). The mwait() call is in a loop that checks periodically if the thread should end and a few other things. It was discovered through testing that the power_saving threads were causing the system to consume more power than the system was consuming before the threads were created. A counter in the main loop of power_saving_thread() revealed that it was spinning. The mwait() instruction was not keeping the CPU in a high C state very much if at all. Here is a simplification of the loop in function power_saving_thread() in drivers/acpi/acpi_pad.c while (!kthread_should_stop()) { : try_to_freeze() : while (!need_resched()) { : if (!need_resched()) __mwait(power_saving_mwait_eax, 1); : if (jiffies > expire_time) { do_sleep = 1; break; } } } If need_resched() returns true, then mwait() is not called. It was returning true because of things like timer interrupts, as in the following sequence. hrtimer_interrupt->__run_hrtimer->tick_sched_timer-> update_process_times-> rcu_check_callbacks->rcu_pending->__rcu_pending->set_need_resched Kernels 3.5.0-rc2+ do not exhibit this problem, because a patch to try_to_freeze() in include/linux/freezer.h introduces a call to might_sleep(), which ultimately calls schedule() to clear the reschedule flag and allows the the loop to execute the call to mwait(). However, the changes to try_to_freeze are unrelated to acpi_pad, and it does not seem like a good idea to rely on an unrelated patch in a function that could later be changed and reintroduce this bug. Therefore, it seems better to make an explicit call to schedule() in the outer loop when the need_resched flag is set.

They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as usual, with a couple of new features in the mix. The most visible change is probably that we will create struct acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that status via _STA. Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the acpi-cpufreq driver. Specifics: - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless of the current status of that device. In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away. - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for its ACPI object. From Srinivas Pandruvada. - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug. - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices. - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218. This adds support for the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug facilities. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall. - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier. That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too. From Chun-Yi Lee. - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress). - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.

| * ACPI: Clean up inclusions of ACPI header filesLv Zheng2013-12-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace direct inclusions of <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h>, which are incorrect, with <linux/acpi.h> inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't necessary. First of all, <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> should not be included directly from any files that are built for CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds. For CONFIG_ACPI set, <linux/acpi.h> includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case. Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always have to be met. Namely, it is required that <acpi/acpi_bus.h> be included prior to <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the latter depends on are always there. And <acpi/acpi.h> which provides basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds. That also is taken care of including <linux/acpi.h> as appropriate.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | acpi pad driver kind of aggressively marks TSC as unstable at init time, on mwait capable and non X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC systems. This is irrespective of whether pad driver is ever going to be used on the system or deep C-states are supported/used. This will affect every user who just happens to compile in (or get a kernel version which compiles in) acpi pad driver. Move mark_tsc_unstable() out of init to the actual idle invocation path of the pad driver. There is also another bug/missing_feature in the code that it does not support 'always running apic timer' and switches to broadcast mode unconditionally. Shaohua, can you take a look at that please.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* ACPI: create Processor Aggregator Device driverShaohua Li2009-07-311-0/+514
ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy processors to enter (power saving) idle. The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out transient electrical and thermal emergencies, rather than powering off the server. On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states, the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle. However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know or care about it. This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism because after the transient emergency is over, the system must be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently break both cpusets and binding. So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread. The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU. The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy, so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will invoke the deep C-state entry instructions. To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle, the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other, which makes the mechanism not work here) Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements to allow injecting idle time into the system. This driver doesn't depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them when they are available. Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until the those scheduler enhancements are in place. However, we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful now, and can be enhanced over time.
