All kthreads being created from a single helper task, they all use memory from a single node for their kernel stack and task struct. This patch suite creates kthread_create_on_node(), adding a 'cpu' parameter to parameters already used by kthread_create().

Based on Eric's patch which in turn was based on my patch. kthread_stop() has the nasty problems: - it runs unpredictably long with the global semaphore held. - it deadlocks if kthread itself does kthread_stop() before it obeys the kthread_should_stop() request. - it is not useable if kthread exits on its own, see for example the ugly "wait_to_die:" hack in migration_thread() - it is not possible to just tell kthread it should stop, we must always wait for its exit. With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted. ->vfork_done is used as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily wait for kthread's exit.

We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly. kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread() wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself can wake up the caller of kthread_create(). Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code. The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread() must do complete(&create->done).

Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is changed. In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point. This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name). Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including of that file. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/mytrace.h> This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code necessary to implement the trace point. Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code it is best to list them all together. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/foo.h> #include <trace/bar.h> #include <trace/fido.h> Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first design to have the C code include a "special" header. This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new method.

Impact: cleanup (Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo) CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so: #define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } } Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best, unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR: #define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL) Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far). So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

Instrument the scheduler activity (sched_switch, migration, wakeups, wait for a task, signal delivery) and process/thread creation/destruction (fork, exit, kthread stop). Actually, kthread creation is not instrumented in this patch because it is architecture dependent. It allows to connect tracers such as ftrace which detects scheduling latencies, good/bad scheduler decisions. Tools like LTTng can export this scheduler information along with instrumentation of the rest of the kernel activity to perform post-mortem analysis on the scheduler activity. About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code scheduler code) was added. See the "Tracepoints" patch header for performance result detail.

The freezer currently attempts to distinguish kernel threads from user space tasks by checking if their mm pointer is unset and it does not send fake signals to kernel threads. However, there are kernel threads, mostly related to networking, that behave like user space tasks and may want to be sent a fake signal to be frozen. Introduce the new process flag PF_FREEZER_NOSIG that will be set by default for all kernel threads and make the freezer only send fake signals to the tasks having PF_FREEZER_NOSIG unset. Provide the set_freezable_with_signal() function to be called by the kernel threads that want to be sent a fake signal for freezing. This patch should not change the freezer's observable behavior.

kthread() sleeps in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state waiting for the first wakeup. In theory, this wakeup may come from freeze_process()->signal_wake_up(), so the task can disappear even before kthread_create() sets its ->comm. Change kthread() to use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

Currently kernel threads use sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK) to protect against signals. This doesn't prevent the signal delivery, this only blocks signal_wake_up(). Every "killall -33 kthreadd" means a "struct siginfo" leak. Change kthreadd_setup() to set all handlers to SIG_IGN instead of blocking them (make a new helper ignore_signals() for that). If the kernel thread needs some signal, it should use allow_signal() anyway, and in that case it should not use CLONE_SIGHAND. Note that we can't change daemonize() (should die!) in the same way, because it can be used along with CLONE_SIGHAND. This means that allow_signal() still should unblock the signal to work correctly with daemonize()ed threads. However, disallow_signal() doesn't block the signal any longer but ignores it. NOTE: with or without this patch the kernel threads are not protected from handle_stop_signal(), this seems harmless, but not good. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: N"Eric W.

Currently there is a circular reference between work queue initialization and kthread initialization. This prevents the kthread infrastructure from initializing until after work queues have been initialized. We want the properties of tasks created with kthread_create to be as close as possible to the init_task and to not be contaminated by user processes. The later we start our kthreadd that creates these tasks the harder it is to avoid contamination from user processes and the more of a mess we have to clean up because the defaults have changed on us. So this patch modifies the kthread support to not use work queues but to instead use a simple list of structures, and to have kthreadd start from init_task immediately after our kernel thread that execs /sbin/init. By being a true child of init_task we only have to change those process settings that we want to have different from init_task, such as our process name, the cpus that are allowed, blocking all signals and setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN so that all of our children are reaped automatically. By being a true child of init_task we also naturally get our ppid set to 0 and do not wind up as a child of PID == 1. Ensuring that tasks generated by kthread_create will not slow down the functioning of the wait family of functions. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use interruptible sleeps] Signed-off-by: NEric W.
