      kernel: build bin2c based on config option CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C · de5b56ba
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be
      used by kexec too.  So make it compilation dependent on CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C
      and this config option can be selected by CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_IKCONFIG.

      printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs · 23b2899f
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
      large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
      debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
      debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
      An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
      two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
      will vary widely depending on the system and environment.
      
      There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
      through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
      buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
      boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
      relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
      issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
      measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
      the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
      scenario.
      
      We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
      introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
      num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
      CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
      This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
      which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
      kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
      over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
      contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
      kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
      an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
      next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
      size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
      is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
      in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
      LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
      possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
      amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:
      
         ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB
      
      Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
      size would be 1024 KB.
      
      This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
      parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
      expected power of two value.

      rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically requested · b58cc46c
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Enabling NO_HZ_FULL currently has the side effect of enabling callback
      offloading on all CPUs.  This results in lots of additional rcuo kthreads,
      and can also increase context switching and wakeups, even in cases where
      callback offloading is neither needed nor particularly desirable.  This
      commit therefore enables callback offloading on a given CPU only if
      specifically requested at build time or boot time, or if that CPU has
      been specifically designated (again, either at build time or boot time)
      as a nohz_full CPU.

      cgroup: convert to kernfs · 2bd59d48
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cgroup filesystem code was derived from the original sysfs
      implementation which was heavily intertwined with vfs objects and
      locking with the goal of re-using the existing vfs infrastructure.
      That experiment turned out rather disastrous and sysfs switched, a
      long time ago, to distributed filesystem model where a separate
      representation is maintained which is queried by vfs.  Unfortunately,
      cgroup stuck with the failed experiment all these years and
      accumulated even more problems over time.
      
      Locking and object lifetime management being entangled with vfs is
      probably the most egregious.  vfs is never designed to be misused like
      this and cgroup ends up jumping through various convoluted dancing to
      make things work.  Even then, operations across multiple cgroups can't
      be done safely as it'll deadlock with rename locking.
      
      Recently, kernfs is separated out from sysfs so that it can be used by
      users other than sysfs.  This patch converts cgroup to use kernfs,
      which will bring the following benefits.
      
      * Separation from vfs internals.  Locking and object lifetime
        management is contained in cgroup proper making things a lot
        simpler.  This removes significant amount of locking convolutions,
        hairy object lifetime rules and the restriction on multi-cgroup
        operations.
      
      * Can drop a lot of code to implement filesystem interface as most are
        provided by kernfs.
      
      * Proper "severing" semantics, which allows controllers to not worry
        about lingering file accesses after offline.
      
      While the preceding patches did as much as possible to make the
      transition less painful, large part of the conversion has to be one
      discrete step making this patch rather large.  The rest of the commit
      message lists notable changes in different areas.
      
      Overall
      -------
      
      * vfs constructs replaced with kernfs ones.  cgroup->dentry w/ ->kn,
        cgroupfs_root->sb w/ ->kf_root.
      
      * All dentry accessors are removed.  Helpers to map from kernfs
        constructs are added.
      
      * All vfs plumbing around dentry, inode and bdi removed.
      
      * cgroup_mount() now directly looks for matching root and then
        proceeds to create a new one if not found.
      
      Synchronization and object lifetime
      -----------------------------------
      
      * vfs inode locking removed.  Among other things, this removes the
        need for the convolution in cgroup_cfts_commit().  Future patches
        will further simplify it.
      
      * vfs refcnting replaced with cgroup internal ones.  cgroup->refcnt,
        cgroupfs_root->refcnt added.  cgroup_put_root() now directly puts
        root->refcnt and when it reaches zero proceeds to destroy it thus
        merging cgroup_put_root() and the former cgroup_kill_sb().
        Simliarly, cgroup_put() now directly schedules cgroup_free_rcu()
        when refcnt reaches zero.
      
      * Unlike before, kernfs objects don't hold onto cgroup objects.  When
        cgroup destroys a kernfs node, all existing operations are drained
        and the association is broken immediately.  The same for
        cgroupfs_roots and mounts.
      
      * All operations which come through kernfs guarantee that the
        associated cgroup is and stays valid for the duration of operation;
        however, there are two paths which need to find out the associated
        cgroup from dentry without going through kernfs -
        css_tryget_from_dir() and cgroupstats_build().  For these two,
        kernfs_node->priv is RCU managed so that they can dereference it
        under RCU read lock.
      
      File and directory handling
      ---------------------------
      
      * File and directory operations converted to kernfs_ops and
        kernfs_syscall_ops.
      
      * xattrs is implicitly supported by kernfs.  No need to worry about it
        from cgroup.  This means that "xattr" mount option is no longer
        necessary.  A future patch will add a deprecated warning message
        when sane_behavior.
      
      * When cftype->max_write_len > PAGE_SIZE, it's necessary to make a
        private copy of one of the kernfs_ops to set its atomic_write_len.
        cftype->kf_ops is added and cgroup_init/exit_cftypes() are updated
        to handle it.
      
      * cftype->lockdep_key added so that kernfs lockdep annotation can be
        per cftype.
      
      * Inidividual file entries and open states are now managed by kernfs.
        No need to worry about them from cgroup.  cfent, cgroup_open_file
        and their friends are removed.
      
      * kernfs_nodes are created deactivated and kernfs_activate()
        invocations added to places where creation of new nodes are
        committed.
      
      * cgroup_rmdir() uses kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() for
        self-removal.
      
      v2: - Li pointed out in an earlier patch that specifying "name="
            during mount without subsystem specification should succeed if
            there's an existing hierarchy with a matching name although it
            should fail with -EINVAL if a new hierarchy should be created.
            Prior to the conversion, this used by handled by deferring
            failure from NULL return from cgroup_root_from_opts(), which was
            necessary because root was being created before checking for
            existing ones.  Note that cgroup_root_from_opts() returned an
            ERR_PTR() value for error conditions which require immediate
            mount failure.
      
            As we now have separate search and creation steps, deferring
            failure from cgroup_root_from_opts() is no longer necessary.
            cgroup_root_from_opts() is updated to always return ERR_PTR()
            value on failure.
      
          - The logic to match existing roots is updated so that a mount
            attempt with a matching name but different subsys_mask are
            rejected.  This was handled by a separate matching loop under
            the comment "Check for name clashes with existing mounts" but
            got lost during conversion.  Merge the check into the main
            search loop.
      
          - Add __rcu __force casting in RCU_INIT_POINTER() in
            cgroup_destroy_locked() to avoid the sparse address space
            warning reported by kbuild test bot.  Maybe we want an explicit
            interface to use kn->priv as RCU protected pointer?
      
      v3: Make CONFIG_CGROUPS select CONFIG_KERNFS.
      
      v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
          cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

      cgroup, memcg: move cgroup_event implementation to memcg · 79bd9814
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cgroup_event is way over-designed and tries to build a generic
      flexible event mechanism into cgroup - fully customizable event
      specification for each user of the interface.  This is utterly
      unnecessary and overboard especially in the light of the planned
      unified hierarchy as there's gonna be single agent.  Simply generating
      events at fixed points, or if that's too restrictive, configureable
      cadence or single set of configureable points should be enough.
      
      Thankfully, memcg is the only user and gets to keep it.  Replacing it
      with something simpler on sane_behavior is strongly recommended.
      
      This patch moves cgroup_event and "cgroup.event_control"
      implementation to mm/memcontrol.c.  Clearing of events on cgroup
      destruction is moved from cgroup_destroy_locked() to
      mem_cgroup_css_offline(), which shouldn't make any noticeable
      difference.
      
      cgroup_css() and __file_cft() are exported to enable the move;
      however, this will soon be reverted once the event code is updated to
      be memcg specific.
      
      Note that "cgroup.event_control" will now exist only on the hierarchy
      with memcg attached to it.  While this change is visible to userland,
      it is unlikely to be noticeable as the file has never been meaningful
      outside memcg.
      
      Aside from the above change, this is pure code relocation.
      
      v2: Per Li Zefan's comments, init/Kconfig updated accordingly and
          poll.h inclusion moved from cgroup.c to memcontrol.c.

      vtime: Add HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig · 554b0004
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
      to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
      races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
      reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
      multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
      is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
      
      Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
      enable after they've been audited for potential races.
      
      This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

      Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
      on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
      
      This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
      full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
      more CPU-finegrained fashion.
      
      Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
      work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
      used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
      are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
      cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

      build some drivers only when compile-testing · 4bb16672
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is
      a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to
      manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their
      configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to
      disable the drivers without patching the kernel.
      
      Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers
      to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option.
      Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have
      the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can
      compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y.
      
      Now the drivers where we use this new option:
      * PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom
        processors so it should depend on x86.
      * FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32.
      * USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc
        systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that
        method.
      * INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom
        device.
      
      [v2]
      * remove EXPERT dependency
      
      [gregkh - remove chipidea portion, as it's incorrect, and also doesn't
       apply to my driver-core tree]
