For some as yet not understood reason, Tony gets unaligned access traps on IA64 because of: struct util_est ue = READ_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est); and: WRITE_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est, ue); introduced by commit: d519329f ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates") Normally those two fields should end up on an 8-byte aligned location, but UP and RANDSTRUCT can mess that up so enforce the alignment explicitly. Also make the alignment on sched_avg unconditional, as it is really about data locality, not false-sharing. With or without this patch the layout for sched_avg on a ia64-defconfig build looks like: $ pahole -EC sched_avg ia64-defconfig/kernel/sched/core.o die__process_function: tag not supported (INVALID)! struct sched_avg { /* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int last_update_time; /* 0 8 */ /* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int load_sum; /* 8 8 */ /* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int runnable_load_sum; /* 16 8 */ /* typedef u32 */ unsigned int util_sum; /* 24 4 */ /* typedef u32 */ unsigned int period_contrib; /* 28 4 */ long unsigned int load_avg; /* 32 8 */ long unsigned int runnable_load_avg; /* 40 8 */ long unsigned int util_avg; /* 48 8 */ struct util_est { unsigned int enqueued; /* 56 4 */ unsigned int ewma; /* 60 4 */ } util_est; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ /* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */ }; Reported-and-Tested-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Norbert Manthey <nmanthey@amazon.de> Cc: Patrick Bellasi <patrick.bellasi@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tony <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Fixes: d519329f ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180405080521.GG4129@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.netSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The util_avg signal computed by PELT is too variable for some use-cases. For example, a big task waking up after a long sleep period will have its utilization almost completely decayed. This introduces some latency before schedutil will be able to pick the best frequency to run a task. The same issue can affect task placement. Indeed, since the task utilization is already decayed at wakeup, when the task is enqueued in a CPU, this can result in a CPU running a big task as being temporarily represented as being almost empty. This leads to a race condition where other tasks can be potentially allocated on a CPU which just started to run a big task which slept for a relatively long period. Moreover, the PELT utilization of a task can be updated every [ms], thus making it a continuously changing value for certain longer running tasks. This means that the instantaneous PELT utilization of a RUNNING task is not really meaningful to properly support scheduler decisions. For all these reasons, a more stable signal can do a better job of representing the expected/estimated utilization of a task/cfs_rq. Such a signal can be easily created on top of PELT by still using it as an estimator which produces values to be aggregated on meaningful events. This patch adds a simple implementation of util_est, a new signal built on top of PELT's util_avg where: util_est(task) = max(task::util_avg, f(task::util_avg@dequeue)) This allows to remember how big a task has been reported by PELT in its previous activations via f(task::util_avg@dequeue), which is the new _task_util_est(struct task_struct*) function added by this patch. If a task should change its behavior and it runs longer in a new activation, after a certain time its util_est will just track the original PELT signal (i.e. task::util_avg). The estimated utilization of cfs_rq is defined only for root ones. That's because the only sensible consumer of this signal are the scheduler and schedutil when looking for the overall CPU utilization due to FAIR tasks. For this reason, the estimated utilization of a root cfs_rq is simply defined as: util_est(cfs_rq) = max(cfs_rq::util_avg, cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued) where: cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued = sum(_task_util_est(task)) for each RUNNABLE task on that root cfs_rq It's worth noting that the estimated utilization is tracked only for objects of interests, specifically: - Tasks: to better support tasks placement decisions - root cfs_rqs: to better support both tasks placement decisions as well as frequencies selection Signed-off-by: NPatrick Bellasi <patrick.bellasi@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: NDietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Cc: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Rafael J .

The select_idle_sibling() (SIS) rewrite in commit: 10e2f1ac ("sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()") ... replaced a domain iteration with a search that broadly speaking does a wrapped walk of the scheduler domain sharing a last-level-cache. While this had a number of improvements, one consequence is that two tasks that share a waker/wakee relationship push each other around a socket. Even though two tasks may be active, all cores are evenly used. This is great from a search perspective and spreads a load across individual cores, but it has adverse consequences for cpufreq. As each CPU has relatively low utilisation, cpufreq may decide the utilisation is too low to used a higher P-state and overall computation throughput suffers. While individual cpufreq and cpuidle drivers may compensate by artifically boosting P-state (at c0) or avoiding lower C-states (during idle), it does not help if hardware-based cpufreq (e.g. HWP) is used. This patch tracks a recently used CPU based on what CPU a task was running on when it last was a waker a CPU it was recently using when a task is a wakee. During SIS, the recently used CPU is used as a target if it's still allowed by the task and is idle. The benefit may be non-obvious so consider an example of two tasks communicating back and forth. Task A may be an application doing IO where task B is a kworker or kthread like journald. Task A may issue IO, wake B and B wakes up A on completion. With the existing scheme this may look like the following (potentially different IDs if SMT is in use but similar principal applies). A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1) B (cpu 1) wake A (wakes on cpu 2) A (cpu 2) wake B (wakes on cpu 3) etc. A careful reader may wonder why CPU 0 was not idle when B wakes A the first time and it's simply due to the fact that A can be rescheduled to another CPU and the pattern is that prev == target when B tries to wakeup A and the information about CPU 0 has been lost. With this patch, the pattern is more likely to be: A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1) B (cpu 1) wake A (wakes on cpu 0) A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1) etc i.e. two communicating casts are more likely to use just two cores instead of all available cores sharing a LLC. The most dramatic speedup was noticed on dbench using the XFS filesystem on UMA as clients interact heavily with workqueues in that configuration. Note that a similar speedup is not observed on ext4 as the wakeup pattern is different: 4.15.0-rc9 4.15.0-rc9 waprev-v1 biasancestor-v1 Hmean 1 287.54 ( 0.00%) 817.01 ( 184.14%) Hmean 2 1268.12 ( 0.00%) 1781.24 ( 40.46%) Hmean 4 1739.68 ( 0.00%) 1594.47 ( -8.35%) Hmean 8 2464.12 ( 0.00%) 2479.56 ( 0.63%) Hmean 64 1455.57 ( 0.00%) 1434.68 ( -1.44%) The results can be less dramatic on NUMA where automatic balancing interferes with the test. It's also known that network benchmarks running on localhost also benefit quite a bit from this patch (roughly 10% on netperf RR for UDP and TCP depending on the machine). Hackbench also seens small improvements (6-11% depending on machine and thread count). The facebook schbench was also tested but in most cases showed little or no different to wakeup latencies.

gcc-8 warns about using strncpy() with the source size as the limit: fs/exec.c:1223:32: error: argument to 'sizeof' in 'strncpy' call is the same expression as the source; did you mean to use the size of the destination? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess] This is indeed slightly suspicious, as it protects us from source arguments without NUL-termination, but does not guarantee that the destination is terminated. This keeps the strncpy() to ensure we have properly padded target buffer, but ensures that we use the correct length, by passing the actual length of the destination buffer as well as adding a build-time check to ensure it is exactly TASK_COMM_LEN. There are only 23 callsites which I all reviewed to ensure this is currently the case. We could get away with doing only the check or passing the right length, but it doesn't hurt to do both.

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y), while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably a worse overall outcome. If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity. Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's a marked difference between annotating locking operations and uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ... This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already, so we cannot risk this outcome. Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives, or it should not be included in the upstream kernel. ( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were introduced. ) Cc: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

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.

For !cgroup this is: runnable_load_avg = \Sum se->avg.load_avg ; where se->on_rq That is, a direct sum of all runnable tasks on that runqueue. As opposed to load_avg, which is a sum of all tasks on the runqueue, which includes a blocked component. However, in the cgroup case, this comes apart since the group entities are always runnable, even if most of their constituent entities are blocked. Therefore introduce a runnable_weight which for task entities is the same as the regular weight, but for group entities is a fraction of the entity weight and represents the runnable part of the group runqueue. Then propagate this load through the PELT hierarchy to arrive at an effective runnable load avgerage -- which we should not confuse with the canonical runnable load average.

Currently TASK_PARKED is masqueraded as TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, give it its own print state because it will not in fact get woken by regular wakeups and is a long-term state. This requires moving TASK_PARKED into the TASK_REPORT mask, and since that latter needs to be a contiguous bitmask, we need to shuffle the bits around a bit.

This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit 52ee2dfd ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is not safe because task->group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help. We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader, parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups. Until then we can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and fix the problem.

Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet. That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems. However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context, also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock. So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease' implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the amount of __bfs() lookups we do. Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people to extend.

The root directory, ctrl_mon and monitor groups are populated with a read/write file named "tasks". When read, it shows all the task IDs assigned to the resource group. Tasks can be added to groups by writing the PID to the file. A task can be present in one "ctrl_mon" group "and" one "monitor" group. IOW a PID_x can be seen in a ctrl_mon group and a monitor group at the same time. When a task is added to a ctrl_mon group, it is automatically removed from the previous ctrl_mon group where it belonged. Similarly if a task is moved to a monitor group it is removed from the previous monitor group . Also since the monitor groups can only have subset of tasks of parent ctrl_mon group, a task can be moved to a monitor group only if its already present in the parent ctrl_mon group. Task membership is indicated by a new field in the task_struct "u32 rmid" which holds the RMID for the task. RMID=0 is reserved for the default root group where the tasks belong to at mount.

Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing 0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically. Excerpt from the added documentation: "Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or 'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected. Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc). This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g. fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See an example below" Why add a new setting: 1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task. So parallel testing is not possible. 2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected. 3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files. 4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure types is potentially expanding. 5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user. Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file (not possible to pre-open before dropping privs). The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example). We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer. A prototype has found 10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes. For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to make /proc entries non-root owned. So I am fine with the current version of the code.

The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask. This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma mempolicy, not task one. The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't manifested as an actual issue. We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation instead of the next id. Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

Currently the cputime source used by vtime is jiffies. When we cross a context boundary and jiffies have changed since the last snapshot, the pending cputime is accounted to the switching out context. This system works ok if the ticks are not aligned across CPUs. If they instead are aligned (ie: all fire at the same time) and the CPUs run in userspace, the jiffies change is only observed on tick exit and therefore the user cputime is accounted as system cputime. This is because the CPU that maintains timekeeping fires its tick at the same time as the others. It updates jiffies in the middle of the tick and the other CPUs see that update on IRQ exit: CPU 0 (timekeeper) CPU 1 ------------------- ------------- jiffies = N ... run in userspace for a jiffy tick entry tick entry (sees jiffies = N) set jiffies = N + 1 tick exit tick exit (sees jiffies = N + 1) account 1 jiffy as stime Fix this with using a nanosec clock source instead of jiffies. The cputime is then accumulated and flushed everytime the pending delta reaches a jiffy in order to mitigate the accounting overhead.

This marks most of the layout of task_struct as randomizable, but leaves thread_info and scheduler state untouched at the start, and thread_struct untouched at the end. Other parts of the kernel use unnamed structures, but the 0-day builder using gcc-4.4 blows up on static initializers. Officially, it's documented as only working on gcc 4.6 and later, which further confuses me: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/C11Status The structure layout randomization already requires gcc 4.7, but instead of depending on the plugin being enabled, just check the gcc versions for wider build testing. At Linus's suggestion, the marking is hidden in a macro to reduce how ugly it looks. Additionally, indenting is left unchanged since it would make things harder to read. Randomization of task_struct is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code.
