      perf: Fix alloc_callchain_buffers() · 88d4f0db
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Commit 927c7a9e ("perf: Fix race in callchains") introduced
a mismatch in the sizing of struct callchain_cpus_entries.

nr_cpu_ids must be used instead of num_possible_cpus(), or we
might get out of bound memory accesses on some machines.

      console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock() · ac751efa
      由 Torben Hohn 提交于 
      The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex.  As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()

This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.

The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()

This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[]
is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any
moment, we need read_barrier_depends().

dbe08d82 "perf: Fix
find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

      perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat · 547e9fd7
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Lockdep spotted:

	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7

	but task is already holding lock:
	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218

	which lock already depends on the new lock.

	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:

But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
(task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
used by tasks.

      kernel/smp.c: consolidate writes in smp_call_function_interrupt() · 225c8e01
      由 Milton Miller 提交于 
      We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the
refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and
find it partially initailzed for the next trip.  Presently we also clear
the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies
getting write access to the line.  After the function is called we then
decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure.

However, this implies getting write access to the call function data
before and after another the function is called.  If we can assert that no
smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then
we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing
both writes with one cache line bounce.

On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time
to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was
reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms.

I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even
though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the
information needed.

      kernel/smp.c: fix smp_call_function_many() SMP race · 6dc19899
      由 Anton Blanchard 提交于 
      I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt:

                if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask))
                        continue;

                data->csd.func(data->csd.info);

                refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs);
                WARN_ON(refs < 0);      <-------------------------

We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0.  How can this be?

It turns out commit 54fdade1
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault.  It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.

The problem comes about because:

 - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
   without any locking.
 - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
 - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
   smp_call_function_many.

Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between.  We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:

CPU A            CPU B                  CPU C              CPU D

smp_call_function
                                        smp_call_function_interrupt
                                            walks
					call_function.queue sees
					data from CPU A on list

                 smp_call_function

                                        smp_call_function_interrupt
                                            walks

                                        call_function.queue sees
                                          (stale) CPU A on list
							   smp_call_function int
							   clears last ref on A
							   list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
                                         data->cpumask sees and
                                         clears bit in cpumask
                                         might be using old or new fn!
                                         decrements refs below 0

set data->refs (too late!)

The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.

The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC
box (having 128 threads does help :)

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>

#define ITERATIONS 100

{
}

static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy)

	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
		smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1);

	printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id());
}

{
	int cpu;

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
		INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis);
		schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]);
	}

	return 0;
}

static void __exit testcase_exit(void)
{
}

module_init(testcase_init)
module_exit(testcase_exit)
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard");

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs.  In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.

Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

      smp: Allow on_each_cpu() to be called while early_boot_irqs_disabled status to init/main.c · bd924e8c
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in
turn may call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes.  The function of
on_each_cpu() can be done safely while IRQ is disabled during
early boot but it assumed that the function is always called
with local IRQ enabled which ended up enabling local IRQ
prematurely during boot and triggering a couple of warnings.

This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many()
such on_each_cpu() can be used safely while
early_boot_irqs_disabled is set.

      lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.c · 2ce802f6
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized.  During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.

lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available.  While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.

      perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race · dbe08d82
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().

If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
necessary put_ctx().

find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
has already done the last schedule().

Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.

Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
looks better.

Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,

just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is.  At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.

      thp: khugepaged · ba76149f
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
      Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new
hugepages become available.  (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that
will have to make new hugepages available)

The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory
can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated.  So when a virtual
machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those
freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual
machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU
efficiency at all times.  The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time,
except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to
pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff.

In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing
memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of
potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could
lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at
first and having them collapsed into large pages later...  if they prove
themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short
lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to
long lived mappings).

      thp: add pmd_huge_pte to mm_struct · e7a00c45
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
      This increase the size of the mm struct a bit but it is needed to
preallocate one pte for each hugepage so that split_huge_page will not
require a fail path.  Guarantee of success is a fundamental property of
split_huge_page to avoid decrasing swapping reliability and to avoid
adding -ENOMEM fail paths that would otherwise force the hugepage-unaware
VM code to learn rolling back in the middle of its pte mangling operations
(if something we need it to learn handling pmd_trans_huge natively rather
being capable of rollback).  When split_huge_page runs a pte is needed to
succeed the split, to map the newly splitted regular pages with a regular
pte.  This way all existing VM code remains backwards compatible by just
adding a split_huge_page* one liner.  The memory waste of those
preallocated ptes is negligible and so it is worth it.

      thp: update futex compound knowledge · a5b338f2
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
      Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows
about the compound internals.  However now doing a put_page(head_page)
will not release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to
all sort of refcounting bugchecks.  Getting a stable head_page is a little
tricky.

page_head = page is there because if this is not a tail page it's also the
page_head.  Only in case this is a tail page, compound_head is called,
otherwise it's guaranteed unnecessary.  And if it's a tail page
compound_head has to run atomically inside irq disabled section
__get_user_pages_fast before returning.  Otherwise ->first_page won't be a
stable pointer.

Disableing irq before __get_user_page_fast and releasing irq after running
compound_head is needed because if __get_user_page_fast returns == 1, it
means the huge pmd is established and cannot go away from under us.
pmdp_splitting_flush_notify in __split_huge_page_splitting will have to
wait for local_irq_enable before the IPI delivery can return.  This means
__split_huge_page_refcount can't be running from under us, and in turn
when we run compound_head(page) we're not reading a dangling pointer from
tailpage->first_page.  Then after we get to stable head page, we are
always safe to call compound_lock and after taking the compound lock on
head page we can finally re-check if the page returned by gup-fast is
still a tail page.  in which case we're set and we didn't need to split
the hugepage in order to take a futex on it.

      oom: allow a non-CAP_SYS_RESOURCE proces to oom_score_adj down · dabb16f6
      由 Mandeep Singh Baines 提交于 
      We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it
enters/leaves the foreground.  Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj
down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.  This patch allows a task to decrease its
oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to
or its inherited value at fork.  Assuming the thread that has forked it
has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon
activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something
higher.

Alternative considered:

* a setuid binary
* a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE

Since you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a
setuid or daemon implementation would be complex.  The alternatives also
have much higher overhead.

This patch updated from original patch based on feedback from David
Rientjes.

      irq: use per_cpu kstat_irqs · 6c9ae009
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use
per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array.

This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq.

With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array
(less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing.

In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly
kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array.

Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in
early_irq_init().  We probably could use on-demand allocations.  (Code
included in alloc_descs()).  Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior
alloc_descs() call.

kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.
