      sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times() · 0cf55e1e
      由 Hidetoshi Seto 提交于 
      This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing
described in the thread:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522

Now cputime is accounted in the following way:

 - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread
   is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).

 - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time,
   after adjusted by task_times().

 - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time
   (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time
   in signal struct of the group's parent.

So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while
{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values.

And accounted values are used by:

 - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:
   This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw
   {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.

 - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:
   This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in
   the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of
   adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.

The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),
because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)

This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.
Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater
than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times
but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.
-5ms).

To fix this, we could do:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)

But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for
every thread should be avoided.

This patch fixes the above problem in the following way:

 - Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().
   It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead
   of adjusted values.  As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()
   to return pure sum of "raw" values.

 - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)
   that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted"
   values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().

 - Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced
   thread_group_times().  It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to
   have adjusted values like before this patch.

 - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().
   This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted"
   cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.
   (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.)

This patch have a positive side effect:

 - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads
   (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's
   cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated
   after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),
     {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0.
   After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is
   applied after accumulated.

v2:
 - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.

      hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events · 24f1e32c
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..

The new layering is now made as follows:

       ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
          \          |          /         /
           \         |         /         /
                                        /
            Core breakpoint API        /
                                      /
                     |               /
                     |              /

              Breakpoints perf events

                     |
                     |

               Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                    (Part of core breakpoint API)
                     |
                     |

             Hardware debug registers

Reasons of this rewrite:

- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
  implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
  events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)

Impact:

- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
  thread breakpoints references.

Todo (in the order):

- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
  perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools

Changes in v2:

- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
  weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
  perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
  asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch

Changes in v3:

- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
  changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
  to the host.

Changes in v4:

- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
  module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
  TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
  breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
  set when the guest used debug registers.
  (Waiting for a reliable optimization)

Changes in v5:

- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
  linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
  to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
  breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
  address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
  error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

      由 Christian Borntraeger 提交于 
      Since commit 02b51df1 (proc connector: add
event for process becoming session leader) we have the following warning:

The warning is
--->    WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());

The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the
connector.

After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from
__set_special_pids to sys_setsid.

We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.

One last thing:
There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
additional patch (Scott?)

      getrusage: fill ru_maxrss value · 1f10206c
      由 Jiri Pirko 提交于 
      Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater
mark.  This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall.
->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD
systems.  /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs
which seems to be incorrect behavior.  Maintainer of this util was
notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed.

To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields.  The
first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task.  The
second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all
task childs.  These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill
->ru_maxrss.  k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm
struct exists.

Note:
exec() clear mm->hiwater_rss, but doesn't clear sig->maxrss.
it is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting.

      proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader · 02b51df1
      由 Scott James Remnant 提交于 
      The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
supervising init daemon such as Upstart.

While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
daemon, it is rare for its children to do so.  When the children do, it is
nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
parent and not supervised along with it.

The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
so that they may control the pty connected to them.  If the primary daemon
dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.

This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the
proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the
special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6] · e0e81739
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).

Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.

This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

      rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU · f41d911f
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.

This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

      perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct · a63eaf34
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with
a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct.  The
main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a
perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU
switching in a later patch.

This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller,
we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached
get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the
inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't
end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes.

The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed
when the last reference is dropped.  A context can have references
from its task and the counters on its task.  Counters can outlive the
task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its
task has exited.

Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or
otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task.
In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct
locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we
raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task.

This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct.  The
task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a
context from one task to another.  Anything that needed to know which
task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task.

The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c
so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes
the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged.

We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from
__perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from
__perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed.
This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if
the counter has already been removed from the lists.

Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't
have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to
__perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in
the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and
thus creates a context for itself.

This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a
similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled
using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

      perf_counter: fix threaded task exit · 0203026b
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Flushing counters in __exit_signal() with irqs disabled is not
a good idea as perf_counter_exit_task() acquires mutexes. So
flush it before acquiring the tasklist lock.

(Note, we still need a fix for when the PID has been unhashed.)

      perf_counter: Fix counter inheritance · 856d56b9

      Srivatsa Vaddagiri reported that a Java workload triggers this
warning in kernel/exit.c:

   WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list));

Add the inherited counter propagation on self-detach, this could
cause counter leaks and incomplete stats in threaded code like
the below:

  #include <pthread.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  void *thread(void *arg)
  {
          sleep(5);
          return NULL;
  }

  void main(void)
  {
          pthread_t thr;
          pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thread, NULL);
  }

      do_wait: do take security_task_wait() into account · 78a3d9d5
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      I was never able to understand what should we actually do when
security_task_wait() fails, but the current code doesn't look right.

If ->task_wait() returns the error, we update *notask_error correctly.
But then we either reap the child (despite the fact this was forbidden)
or clear *notask_error (and hide the securiy policy problems).

This patch assumes that "stolen by ptrace" doesn't matter. If selinux
denies the child we should ignore it but make sure we report -EACCESS
instead of -ECHLD if there are no other eligible children.
