Linus noticed that the <linux/rcu_segcblist.h> has huge inline functions which should not be inline at all. As a first step in cleaning this up, move them all to kernel/rcu/ and only keep an absolute minimum of data type defines in the header: before: -rw-r--r-- 1 mingo mingo 22284 May 2 10:25 include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h after: -rw-r--r-- 1 mingo mingo 3180 May 2 10:22 include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h More can be done, such as uninlining the large functions, which inlining is unjustified even if it's an RCU internal matter.

The default value for the kernel boot parameter srcutree.exp_holdoff is 50 microseconds, which is too long for good Tree SRCU performance (compared to Classic SRCU) on the workloads tested by Mike Galbraith. This commit therefore sets the default value to 25 microseconds, which shows excellent results in Mike's testing. Reported-by: NMike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace periods can complete in less than a microsecond. This means that an eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight loop and almost always expedite. This might actually be desirable in some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn CPU cycles. And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited(). For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting the next. If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires, auto-expediting is disabled. The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default, and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds. A value of zero disables auto-expediting. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: NMike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de>

Classic SRCU in effect expedites the first synchronize_srcu() when SRCU is idle, and Mike Galbraith demonstrated that some use cases do in fact rely on this behavior. In particular, Mike showed that Steven Rostedt's hotplug stress script takes 55 seconds with Classic SRCU and more than 16 -minutes- when running Tree SRCU. Assuming that each Tree SRCU's call to synchronize_srcu() takes four milliseconds, this implies that Steven's test invokes synchronize_srcu() in isolation, but more than once per 200 microseconds. Mike used ftrace to demonstrate that the time between successive calls to synchronize_srcu() ranged from 118 to 342 microseconds, with one outlier at 80 milliseconds. This data clearly indicates that Tree SRCU needs to expedite the first invocation of synchronize_srcu() during an SRCU idle period. This commit therefor introduces a srcu_might_be_idle() function that probabilistically checks whether or not SRCU is idle. This function is used by synchronize_rcu() as an additional criterion in deciding whether or not to expedite. (Hat trick to Peter Zijlstra for his earlier suggestion that this might in fact be a problem. Which for all I know might have motivated Mike to look into it.)

Commit f60d231a ("srcu: Crude control of expedited grace periods") introduced a per-srcu_struct atomic counter to track outstanding requests for grace periods. This works, but represents a memory-contention bottleneck. This commit therefore uses the srcu_node combining tree to remove this bottleneck. This commit adds new ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields to the srcu_data, srcu_node, and srcu_struct structures, which track the farthest-in-the-future grace period that must be expedited, which in turn requires that all nearer-term grace periods also be expedited. Requests for expediting start with the srcu_data structure, run up through the srcu_node tree, and end at the srcu_struct structure. Note that it may be necessary to expedite a grace period that just now started, and this is handled by a new srcu_funnel_exp_start() function, which is invoked when the grace period itself is already in its way, but when that grace period was not marked as expedited. A new srcu_get_delay() function returns zero if there is at least one expedited SRCU grace period in flight, or SRCU_INTERVAL otherwise. This function is used to calculate delays: Normal grace periods are allowed to extend in order to cover more requests with a given grace-period computation, which decreases per-request overhead.

The current Tree SRCU implementation schedules a workqueue for every srcu_data covered by a given leaf srcu_node structure having callbacks, even if only one of those srcu_data structures actually contains callbacks. This is clearly inefficient for workloads that don't feature callbacks everywhere all the time. This commit therefore adds an array of masks that are used by the leaf srcu_node structures to track exactly which srcu_data structures contain callbacks. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously. This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption. To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path, this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing non-common-case check.

Although Tree SRCU does reduce delays when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending, srcu_schedule_cbs_snp() still waits for SRCU_INTERVAL before invoking callbacks. Since synchronize_srcu_expedited() now posts a callback and waits for that callback to do a wakeup, this destroys the expedited nature of synchronize_srcu_expedited(). This destruction became apparent to Marc Zyngier in the guise of a guest-OS bootup slowdown from five seconds to no fewer than forty seconds. This commit therefore invokes callbacks immediately at the end of the grace period when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending. This brought Marc's guest-OS bootup times back into the realm of reason. Reported-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2], however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's ->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention. Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that control the shape of the rcu_node tree). In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that are ready to be invoked. The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU ->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock, srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory, it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier() needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked) is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all callbacks are inovked. Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment. This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they need to be incremented at different times. This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU. Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf asynchronous-grace-period capability: Callback Queuing Overhead ------------------------- # CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU ------ ------------ --------- 2 0.349 us 0.342 us 16 31.66 us 0.4 us 41 --------- 0.417 us The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41 CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's performance and scalability advantages.

I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how to allocate and use it. For example: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is allocated * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') But instead it just showed an empty buffer: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file. Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes _synchronize_rcu_expedited(). The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function uses wait_event() to wait for even seq. The problem is that wait_event() can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup. In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next expedited grace period starts before the check. Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

This commit moves rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), and rcu_seq_done() from kernel/rcu/tree.c to kernel/rcu/rcu.h. This will allow SRCU to use these functions, which in turn will allow SRCU to move from a single global callback queue to a per-CPU callback queue. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
