      psi: make disabling/enabling easier for vendor kernels · 59d17ef0
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      commit e0c274472d5d27f277af722e017525e0b33784cd upstream.
      
      Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
      shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
      users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
      
      With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
      from the commandline, this is a challenge.  Do the following things to
      make it easier:
      
      1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
         to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
         unless a user requests it at boot-time.
      
         To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
      
      2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
         when the feature is disabled.
      
      In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:
      
      : The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against

      psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO · d2b34844
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      commit eb414681d5a07d28d2ff90dc05f69ec6b232ebd2 upstream.
      
      When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
      to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
      the system is to lockups and OOM kills.  In particular, when machines work
      multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
      and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
      
      In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
      job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
      to quantify resource pressure in the system.
      
      A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
      expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
      respectively.  Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
      accounting delays:
      
             cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
             memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
             io: tasks are waiting for io completions
      
      These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
      and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
      incurred by resource overcommit.  They can also indicate when the system
      is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
      
      To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
      and samples the time they spend in stall states.  Every 2 seconds, the
      samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
      eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
      walltime.  A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
      1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

      sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base · 97fb7a0a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
      in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
      all these details:
      
       - fix speling in comments,
      
       - use curly braces for multi-line statements,
      
       - remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
      
       - capitalize consistently,
      
       - remove stray newlines,
      
       - add comments where necessary,
      
       - remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
      
       - align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
      
       - add missing newlines for increased readability,
      
       - fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
      
       - harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
         and vertical alignment,
      
       - remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default · cb251765
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
      incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
      disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
      
      This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
      disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
      by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
      it when necessary.
      
      The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
      If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
      the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
      scheduler.
      
      These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
      machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
      single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

      Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
      
      The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
      scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
      tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
      they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
      It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
      alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
      not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
      may be wanted but is unavailable.

      sched, timer: Use the atomic task_cputime in thread_group_cputimer · 71107445
      Jason Low 提交于
      Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
      scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
      the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
      a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
      Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
      share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.
      
      This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
      the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
      track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.

      sched, timer: Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to improve scalability · 1018016c
      Jason Low 提交于
      While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers.
      
      Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock.
      Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a
      thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems
      (such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time
      spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats.
      
      This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use
      atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent
      of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced
      from 30% down to less than 1%.
      
      Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes
      sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time.
      However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the
      generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue.
      An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually
      have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks
      called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

      timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers · 4cd4c1b4
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we:
      
       1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads,
       2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process,
       3) have no impact when not used.
      
      In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts:
      
       - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
                 from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)
      
       - timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're
                 explicity used, the user can pay the overhead.
      
      The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the
      timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only
      programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

      itimers: remove the per-cpu-ish-ness · 490dea45
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Either we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces
      or we just bounce a single..
      
      Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the
      per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized
      allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,
      which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.
      
      So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of
      processes is an issue.
      
      Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might
      be fixable.

      cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers.
      
      Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs
      
      Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
      cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.
      
      These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
      they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

      timers: fix itimer/many thread hang, v2 · bb34d92f
      Frank Mayhar 提交于
      This is the second resubmission of the posix timer rework patch, posted
      a few days ago.
      
      This includes the changes from the previous resubmittion, which addressed
      Oleg Nesterov's comments, removing the RCU stuff from the patch and
      un-inlining the thread_group_cputime() function for SMP.
      
      In addition, per Ingo Molnar it simplifies the UP code, consolidating much
      of it with the SMP version and depending on lower-level SMP/UP handling to
      take care of the differences.
      
      It also cleans up some UP compile errors, moves the scheduler stats-related
      macros into kernel/sched_stats.h, cleans up a merge error in
      kernel/fork.c and has a few other minor fixes and cleanups as suggested
      by Oleg and Ingo. Thanks for the review, guys.

      Thanks for reviewing the patch. The above is exactly what I have done.

      sched, delay accounting: fix incorrect delay time when constantly waiting on runqueue · d4abc238
      Bharath Ravi 提交于
      This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait
      time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following
      reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for
      CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state),
      the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this,
      the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the
      next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by
      recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the
      sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on
      the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the
      process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state.
      
      The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs.
      The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on
      the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported
      back to user space.
