With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper. Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations. While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop. So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason. So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on load/store archs). Also expose two new local_bh functions: __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt); Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour. The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock functions. With build fixes from Jacob Pan.

Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations: local_bh_disable(); preempt_disable(); and for the unlock: preempt_enable_no_resched(); local_bh_enable(); Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable twice when you can do it in one go; use the new __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a preempt_count value to add/sub. So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to add/sub to be done in one go. As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage. This reduces a 1000 loops of: spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock); spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock); from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few runs I did for each suggest it is so.

Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible to get right. The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks. Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly confusing imo. Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl. So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget. This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface for now.

In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is important that some method of having the allocation of the available CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control. This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the -deadline tasks. Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group settings). Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e., new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with the same usage paradigm are added. However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level. Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP configurations). Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own (while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth. This patch, therefore: - adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of: * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us, * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us, that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks; - couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt -deadline tasks to stay below 100%. This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below: M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us) It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation). This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution, what this commits does is: - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead, when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's deadline is postponed; - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime) used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline. Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner, still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous commit) pi-architecture. We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start discussion within the community.

Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code, and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and -priority tasks. This is done mainly because: - classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might not be enough for representing a deadline; - manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks), which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases. Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according to the following logic: - among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins; - among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins; - among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline wins. Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on a pi-lock.

Make it possible to specify a period (different or equal than deadline) for -deadline tasks. Relative deadlines (D_i) are used on task arrivals to generate new scheduling (absolute) deadlines as "d = t + D_i", and periods (P_i) to postpone the scheduling deadlines as "d = d + P_i" when the budget is zero. This is in general useful to model (and schedule) tasks that have slow activation rates (long periods), but have to be scheduled soon once activated (short deadlines).

Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing where a task should migrate, when it is the case. Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of migrating, or forbidding migrations at all. The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised: - -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues, - -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the following: * on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks are always running; * affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is always respected. Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled. IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing (push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU. To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline. E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task with the latest deadline among the M executing ones. In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used. Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to speed-up pushes.

Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for SCHED_DEADLINE implementation. Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy are also added where they are needed. Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate the behaviour of tasks between each other. The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase (instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an instance) activates plus the relative deadline. The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline length time interval, avoiding any interference between different tasks (bandwidth isolation). Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new policy. To summarize, this patch: - introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed; - implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new scheduling class file; - provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl and the other existing scheduling classes.

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE). In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task, that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints, i.e.: - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time, - a minimum interval between consecutive instances, - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed. Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended. Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with legacy binaries. For these reasons, this patch: - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational model described above; - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr(). Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them available on other architectures is straightforward. Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch, the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4). Two issues - (VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb->len that includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied to the inner packet. (VXLAN & GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original packet.

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to be invoked directly. But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's header_ops up to the VLAN device. This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but will see a VLAN device instead. Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange to pass the proper real device instead. To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header(). There are implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a ->rebuild (f.e. PLIP). So we need a helper function just like dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes. Use this helper in the one existing place where the header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code. With lots of help from Florian Westphal. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Commit 1b3a5d02 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel") moved reboot= handling to generic code. In the process it also removed the code in native_machine_shutdown() which are moving reboot process to reboot_cpu/cpu0. I guess that thought must have been that all reboot paths are calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu(), so we don't need this special handling. But kexec reboot path (kernel_kexec()) is not calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() so above change broke kexec. Now reboot can happen on non-boot cpu and when INIT is sent in second kerneo to bring up BP, it brings down the machine. So start calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in kexec reboot path to avoid this problem. Bisected by WANG Chao.

ipgre_header_parse() needs to parse the tunnel's ip header and it uses mac_header to locate the iphdr. This got broken when gre tunneling was refactored as mac_header is no longer updated to point to iphdr. Introduce skb_pop_mac_header() helper to do the mac_header assignment and use it in ipgre_rcv() to fix msg_name parsing. Bug introduced in commit c5441932 (GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code.)

It is useful to be able to walk all upper devices when bringing a device online where the RTNL lock is held. In this case it is safe to walk the all_adj_list because the RTNL lock is used to protect the write side as well. This patch adds a check to see if the rtnl lock is held before throwing a warning in netdev_all_upper_get_next_dev_rcu(). Also because we now have a call site for lockdep_rtnl_is_held() outside COFIG_LOCK_PROVING an inline definition returning 1 is needed. Similar to the rcu_read_lock_is_held().

Rename old regmap field of "struct sec_pmic_dev" to "regmap_pmic" and add new regmap for RTC. On S5M8767A registers were not properly updated and read due to usage of the same regmap as the PMIC. This could be observed in various hangs, e.g. in infinite loop during waiting for UDR field change. On this chip family the RTC has different I2C address than PMIC so additional regmap is needed.

neigh_priv_len is defined as u8. With all debug enabled struct ipoib_neigh has 200 bytes. The largest part is sk_buff_head with 96 bytes and here the spinlock with 72 bytes. The size value still fits in this u8 leaving some room for more. On -RT struct ipoib_neigh put on weight and has 392 bytes. The main reason is sk_buff_head with 288 and the fatty here is spinlock with 192 bytes. This does no longer fit into into neigh_priv_len and gcc complains. This patch changes neigh_priv_len from being 8bit to 16bit. Since the following element (dev_id) is 16bit followed by a spinlock which is aligned, the struct remains with a total size of 3200 (allmodconfig) / 2048 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes on x86-64. On x86-32 the struct is 1856 (allmodconfig) / 1216 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes long. The numbers were gained with and without the patch to prove that this change does not increase the size of the struct.

When explicitly hashing the end of a string with the word-at-a-time interface, we have to be careful which end of the word we pick up. On big-endian CPUs, the upper-bits will contain the data we're after, so ensure we generate our masks accordingly (and avoid hashing whatever random junk may have been sitting after the string). This patch adds a new dcache helper, bytemask_from_count, which creates a mask appropriate for the CPU endianness.

Christian suffers from a bad BIOS that wrecks his i5's TSC sync. This results in him occasionally seeing time going backwards - which crashes the scheduler ... Most of our time accounting can actually handle that except the most common one; the tick time update of sched_fair. There is a further problem with that code; previously we assumed that because we get a tick every TICK_NSEC our time delta could never exceed 32bits and math was simpler. However, ever since Frederic managed to get NO_HZ_FULL merged; this is no longer the case since now a task can run for a long time indeed without getting a tick. It only takes about ~4.2 seconds to overflow our u32 in nanoseconds. This means we not only need to better deal with time going backwards; but also means we need to be able to deal with large deltas. This patch reworks the entire code and uses mul_u64_u32_shr() as proposed by Andy a long while ago. We express our virtual time scale factor in a u32 multiplier and shift right and the 32bit mul_u64_u32_shr() implementation reduces to a single 32x32->64 multiply if the time delta is still short (common case). For 64bit a 64x64->128 multiply can be used if ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128.

While hunting a preemption issue with Alexander, Ben noticed that the currently generic PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED stuff is horribly broken for load-store architectures. We currently rely on the IPI to fold TIF_NEED_RESCHED into PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED, but when this IPI lands while we already have a load for the preempt-count but before the store, the store will erase the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED change. The current preempt-count only works on load-store archs because interrupts are assumed to be completely balanced wrt their preempt_count fiddling; the previous preempt_count load will match the preempt_count state after the interrupt and therefore nothing gets lost. This patch removes the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED usage from generic code and pushes it into x86 arch code; the generic code goes back to relying on TIF_NEED_RESCHED. Boot tested on x86_64 and compile tested on ppc64.
