| * kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))Gideon Israel Dsouza2014-04-072-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with the right macro in the kernel subsystem.

* | sched: remove sleep_on() and friendsArnd Bergmann2014-04-071-46/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal that was done a couple of years ago. Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3": "[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should be removed in the 2.5 development series". We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.

| * kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core codePaul Gortmaker2014-04-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: kernel/user.c obj-y kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch) kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy. Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for anyway. - Various fixes from Li and others.

This was triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h which brought in slab.h.

Now that cgroup is on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs name/path constructs. * Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes. pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added. * cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename(). * All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are removed. v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal. v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs functions with NULL kn leading to oops.

Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

This is actually a requirement that result from the purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously. As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the IPIs on this csd. Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect these properties.

| * | | smp: Remove wait argument from __smp_call_function_single()Frederic Weisbecker2014-02-241-1/+1

By embedding a csd in an object, a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such, sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled. This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a single csd are serialized. This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this usecase is relevant. Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look at the two possible scenario: 1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily. But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) and the object can be passed an the IPI argument. Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs for this csd. 2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single() can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone. Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1 is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more simple.

So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a value in nsecs. As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs. As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and same CPU. In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API. Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was: linux-next commit c365c292d059 "sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()" And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found: - p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p); - p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p); With no + p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p); + p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p); Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority. The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called, otherwise the class wont be changed. Also added fix to newprio to include a check for deadline policy that was missing.

When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked because of throttling, we enter in endless loop. pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL. In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running) return RETRY_TASK; (rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes throttled). No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here, because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are disabled. 2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled. The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT classes instead of checking for sum.

The only difference we operate on only dl_rq. This patch fixes all the above problems and it adds a small skip in the DL update like we've already done for RT class: if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0)) return; This will optimize sequential update_curr_dl() calls a little.

Otherwise rt_time may grow up to infinity in update_curr_dl(), if there are no other available RT tasks on top level bandwidth. RT task were in fact throttled right after they got enqueued, and never executed again (rt_time never again went below rt_runtime). Peter then proposed to accrue DL execution on rt_time only when rt timer is active, and proposed a patch (this patch is a slight modification of that) to implement that behavior. While this solves Kirill problem, it has a drawback. Indeed, Kirill noted again: It looks we may get into a situation, when all CPU time is shared between RT and DL tasks: rt_runtime = n rt_period = 2n | RT working, DL sleeping | DL working, RT sleeping | ----------------------------------------------------------- | (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (repeat) |--------------------------|------------------------------| | (rt_bw timer is running) | (rt_bw timer is not running) | No time for fair tasks at all. While this can happen during the first period, if rq is always backlogged, RT tasks won't have the opportunity to execute anymore: rt_time reached rt_runtime during (1), suppose after (2) RT is enqueued back, it gets throttled since rt timer didn't fire, replenishment is from now on eaten up by DL tasks that accrue their execution on rt_time (while rt timer is active - we have an RT task waiting for replenishment). FAIR tasks are not touched after this first period. Ok, this is not ideal, and the situation is even worse! What above (the nice case), practically never happens in reality, where your rt timer is not aligned to tasks periods, tasks are in general not periodic, etc.. Long story short, you always risk to overload your system. This patch is based on Peter's idea, but exploits an additional fact: if you don't have RT tasks enqueued, it makes little sense to continue incrementing rt_time once you reached the upper limit (DL tasks have their own mechanism for throttling). This cures both problems: - no matter how many DL instances in the past, you'll have an rt_time slightly above rt_runtime when an RT task is enqueued, and from that point on (after the first replenishment), the task will normally execute; - you can still eat up all bandwidth during the first period, but not anymore after that, remember that DL execution will increment rt_time till the upper limit is reached. The situation is still not perfect! But, we have a simple solution for now, that limits how much you can jeopardize your system, as we keep working towards the right answer: RT groups scheduled using deadline servers.

If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be incorrectly adjusted twice. In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of CPU time. This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of !se->on_rq. I'm able to cause a task with a priority of 120 to starve all other tasks with the same priority on an ARM platform running 3.2.51-rt72 PREEMPT RT by writing one character at time to a serial tty (16550 UART) in a tight loop. I'm also able to verify making this change corrects the problem on that platform and kernel version.

This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack (attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of the userspace-provided buffer untouched.

| * | sched/deadline: Fix overflow to handle period==0 and deadline!=0Steven Rostedt2014-02-211-1/+1

It was giving me a -EBUSY error. Adding a bunch of trace_printk()s around, I found that the cpu notifier that called sched_cpu_inactive() was returning a failure. The overflow value was coming up negative? Talking this over with Juri, the problem is that the total_bw update was suppose to be made by dl_overflow() which, during my tests, seemed to not be called. Adding more trace_printk()s, it wasn't that it wasn't called, but it exited out right away with the check of new_bw being equal to p->dl.dl_bw. The new_bw calculates the ratio between period and runtime. The bug is that if you set a deadline, you do not need to set a period if you plan on the period being equal to the deadline. That is, if period is zero and deadline is not, then the system call should set the period to be equal to the deadline. This is done elsewhere in the code. The fix is easy, check if period is set, and if it is not, then use the deadline.

This was due to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again. I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches, and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me to what the bug was. All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work (there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup hard. I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box, and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem, but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard. After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and never decrementing! Looking at the deadline code I found: static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) { dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl); dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p); } static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) { update_curr_dl(rq); __dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags); dec_nr_running(rq); } And this: if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) { __dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0); if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted))) dl_se->dl_throttled = 1; else enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH); if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl)) resched_task(curr); } Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl() calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is where we get nr_running out of sync. [snip] Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer fires: dl_se->dl_throttled = 0; if (p->on_rq) { enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH); if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr)) check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0); else resched_task(rq->curr); This patch does two things: - correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered !running); - fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(), since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael spotted that the idle_balance() push down created a task priority problem. Previously, when we called idle_balance() before pick_next_task() it wasn't a problem when -- because of the rq->lock droppage -- an rt/dl task slipped in. Similarly for pre_schedule(), rt pre-schedule could have a dl task slip in. But by pulling it into the pick_next_task() loop, we'll not try a higher task priority again. Cure this by creating a re-start condition in pick_next_task(); and triggering this from pick_next_task_{rt,fair}(). It also fixes a live-lock where we get stuck in pick_next_task_fair() due to idle_balance() seeing !0 nr_running but there not actually being any fair tasks about.
