      sched: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, finer accounting of irq time · b52bfee4
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      s390/powerpc/ia64 have support for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING which does
      the fine granularity accounting of user, system, hardirq, softirq times.
      Adding that option on archs like x86 will be challenging however, given the
      state of TSC reliability on various platforms and also the overhead it will
      add in syscall entry exit.
      
      Instead, add a lighter variant that only does finer accounting of
      hardirq and softirq times, providing precise irq times (instead of timer tick
      based samples). This accounting is added with a new config option
      CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING so that there won't be any overhead for users not
      interested in paying the perf penalty.
      
      This accounting is based on sched_clock, with the code being generic.
      So, other archs may find it useful as well.
      
      This patch just adds the core logic and does not enable this logic yet.

      sched: Add a PF flag for ksoftirqd identification · 6cdd5199
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      To account softirq time cleanly in scheduler, we need to identify whether
      softirq is invoked in ksoftirqd context or softirq at hardirq tail context.
      Add PF_KSOFTIRQD for that purpose.
      
      As all PF flag bits are currently taken, create space by moving one of the
      infrequently used bits (PF_THREAD_BOUND) down in task_struct to be along
      with some other state fields.

      sched: Fix softirq time accounting · 75e1056f
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
      VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:
      
         http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html
      
      The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
      is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
      being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
      is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.
      
      Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
      as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
      softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.
      
      Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
      for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
      processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
      returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.
      
      Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
      to in_serving_softirq.
      
      Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
      changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer · d7627467
      David Howells 提交于
      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
      correctly on ARM:
      
      arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
      
      This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
      the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
      because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
      copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
      pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
      
      do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
      or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
      const should be fine.
      
      Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

      oom: badness heuristic rewrite · a63d83f4
      David Rientjes 提交于
      This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
      used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions.  The goal is to
      make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
      understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
      memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
      
      Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
      rss and swap space is used instead.  This is a better indication of the
      amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
      and subsequently exits.  This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
      GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
      hogging task.
      
      The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
      currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
      memory.  "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
      unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
      attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit.  The
      proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
      roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
      consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
      space.
      
      The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
      not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
      operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
      machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
      nodes or mems, respectively.
      
      Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
      provides in LSMs.  In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
      memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
      
      Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
      necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it.  It's not possible
      to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
      ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability.  Instead, a new tunable,
      /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000.  It may
      be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
      considered for oom kill while others may always be considered.  The value
      is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
      example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
      other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
      or sharing the same memory controller.
      
      /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
      units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa.  Changing one of
      these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
      equivalent meaning.  Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
      a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
      /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity.  This is required
      so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
      be deprecated for future removal.

      CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment · 8f92054e
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
      condition:
      
      	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()
      
      as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
      functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
      detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.
      
      Instead, add the following validation condition:
      
      	task->exit_state >= 0
      
      to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
      its own credentials.
      
      Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:
      
       (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
           from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.
      
       (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
           directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
           instead.

      sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain · 532cb4c4
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman.
      
      This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level.  Some cores
      like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads.  In the case of
      POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are
      idle.  When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since
      they share less core resources.  Hence when we have idle threads, we
      want them to be the higher ones.
      
      This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the
      packing.  This packing function is run on idle threads.  It checks to
      see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a
      higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run
      on.  If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier
      thread as the busiest group to f_b_g().  Here we are assuming a lower
      CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number.
      
      It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at
      any scheduler domain level.
      
      It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling
      level.  The default function doesn't enable this feature.

      sched: Change nohz idle load balancing logic to push model · 83cd4fe2
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
      still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
      on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
      balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
      The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
      instead of the normal idle balance.
      
      This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
      * the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
        wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
        behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
      * On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
        periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
        doing the timer broadcast.
      
      Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
      doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
      there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
      where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
      system).
      
      And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
      balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
      (as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
      causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.
      
      For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
      from an idle cpu.  This is good for power-savings anyway.

      sleep and waking up.  Using these two hooks, cmwq keeps track of the
      current concurrency level and throttles execution of new works if it's
      too high and wakes up another worker from the sleep hook if it becomes
      too low.
      
      This patch introduces PF_WQ_WORKER to identify workqueue workers and
      adds the following two hooks.
      
      * wq_worker_waking_up(): called when a worker is woken up.
      
      * wq_worker_sleeping(): called when a worker is going to sleep and may
        return a pointer to a local task which should be woken up.  The
        returned task is woken up using try_to_wake_up_local() which is
        simplified ttwu which is called under rq lock and can only wake up
        local tasks.
      
      Both hooks are currently defined as noop in kernel/workqueue_sched.h.
      Later cmwq implementation will replace them with proper
      implementation.
      
      These hooks are hard coded as they'll always be enabled.

      cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems · c0ff7453
      Miao Xie 提交于
      Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
      mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
      old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
      there is no node to alloc memory.
      
      The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
      nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
      
      (mpol: mempolicy)
      	task1			task1's mpol	task2
      	alloc page		1
      	  alloc on node0? NO	1
      				1		change mems from 1 to 0
      				1		rebind task1's mpol
      				0-1		  set new bits
      				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
      	  alloc on node1? NO	0
      	  ...
      	can't alloc page
      	  goto oom
      
      This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
      allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
      use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
      nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
      read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

      lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector · 58687acb
      Don Zickus 提交于
      The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
      similar in structure to the softlockup detector.  Using Ingo's
      suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
      kernel/watchdog.c.
      
      Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
      detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
      60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.
      
      To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
      implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
      overflow event.  If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
      most likely in trouble.
      
      To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
      previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
      If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
      warning is printed to the console.
      
      I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
      work.
      
      V2:
      - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
      - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
      - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
      - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
      - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
      - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events
      
      V3:
      - comment cleanups
      - drop support for older softlockup code
      - per_cpu cleanups
      - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
      - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
      - #ifdef cleanups
      - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
      - documentation additions
      
      V4:
      - documentation fixes
      - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
      - powerpc compile fixes
      
      V5:
      - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups
      
      TODO:
      - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call
        (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period

      revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits · 34441427
      Robin Holt 提交于
      Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
      threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
      threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
      stack.
      
      Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
      applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
      
      Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
      64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
      
      Commit 9ebd4eba ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
      threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
      userland stack address.
      
      Commit 1306d603 ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
      information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
      being used to solve a significant performance regression.
      
      This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
      
      The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
      field 28.  For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
      value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
      start address.  This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
      it worthless.  That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
      space a thread has.
      
      Other architectures will get different values.  As an example, ia64
      gets 0.  The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
      stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
      
      I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
      on NOMMU") .  If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
      mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
      configured.  Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
      I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
      
      I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
      information for threads on 64-bit") .  I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
      place as that seemed worthwhile.
