Currently the task always wakes affine on this_cpu if the latter is idle. Before waking up the task on this_cpu, we check that this_cpu capacity is not significantly reduced because of RT tasks or irq activity. Use case where the number of irq and/or the time spent under irq is important will take benefit of this because the task that is woken up by irq or softirq will not use the same CPU than irq (and softirq) but a idle one.

'capacity_orig' is only changed for systems with an SMT sched_domain level in order to reflect the lower capacity of CPUs. Heterogenous systems also have to reflect an original capacity that is different from the default value. Create a more generic function arch_scale_cpu_capacity that can be also used by non SMT platforms to set capacity_orig. The __weak implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is the previous SMT variant, in order to keep backward compatibility with the use of capacity_orig. arch_scale_smt_capacity() and default_scale_smt_capacity() have been removed as they were not used elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

The computation of avg_load and avg_load_per_task should only take into account the number of CFS tasks. The non-CFS tasks are already taken into account by decreasing the CPU's capacity and they will be tracked in the CPU's utilization (group_utilization) of the next patches.

In wake_affine() I have tried to understand the meaning of the condition: (this_load <= load && this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task) but I failed to find a use case that can take advantage of it and I haven't found clear description in the previous commit's log. Futhermore, the comment of the condition refers to the task_hot function that was used before being replaced by the current condition: /* * This domain has SD_WAKE_AFFINE and * p is cache cold in this domain, and * there is no bad imbalance. */ If we look more deeply the below condition: this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task When sync is clear, we have: tl_per_task = runnable_load_avg / nr_running this_load = max(runnable_load_avg, cpuload[idx]) target_load = max(runnable_load_avg', cpuload'[idx]) It implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 and nr_running <= 1 in order to match the condition. This implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 too because of the condition: this_load <= load. but if this _load is null, 'balanced' is already set and the test is redundant. If sync is set, it's not as straight forward as above (especially if cgroup are involved) but the policy should be similar as we have removed a task that's going to sleep in order to get a more accurate load and this_load values. The current conclusion is that these additional condition don't give any benefit so we can remove them.

The imbalance flag can stay set whereas there is no imbalance. Let assume that we have 3 tasks that run on a dual cores /dual cluster system. We will have some idle load balance which are triggered during tick. Unfortunately, the tick is also used to queue background work so we can reach the situation where short work has been queued on a CPU which already runs a task. The load balance will detect this imbalance (2 tasks on 1 CPU and an idle CPU) and will try to pull the waiting task on the idle CPU. The waiting task is a worker thread that is pinned on a CPU so an imbalance due to pinned task is detected and the imbalance flag is set. Then, we will not be able to clear the flag because we have at most 1 task on each CPU but the imbalance flag will trig to useless active load balance between the idle CPU and the busy CPU. We need to reset of the imbalance flag as soon as we have reached a balanced state. If all tasks are pinned, we don't consider that as a balanced state and let the imbalance flag set.

However, both of those locks can be taken from irq context, which means we need to use the interrupt safe variant of read_seqbegin_or_lock. This blocks interrupts when the "lock" branch is taken (seq is odd), preventing the lock inversion. On the first (lockless) pass through the loop, irqs are not blocked.

The code in task_numa_compare() will only examine at most one idle CPU per node, because they all have the same score. However, some idle CPUs are better candidates than others, due to busy or idle SMT siblings, etc... The scheduler has logic to find the best CPU within an LLC to place a task. The NUMA code should probably use it. This seems to reduce the standard deviation for single instance SPECjbb2005 with a low warehouse count on my 4 node test system.

When running workloads on 2+ socket systems, based on perf profiles, the update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() function often shows up as taking up a noticeable % of run time. Much of the contention is in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() when we update the tg load contribution stats. However, it turns out that in many cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0. This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated. This reduces the cacheline contention that would be unnecessary.

Current code can fail to migrate a waking task (silently) when TTWU_QUEUE is enabled. When a task is waking, it is pending on the wake_list of the rq, but it is not queued (task->on_rq == 0). In this case, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and __migrate_task() will not migrate it because its invisible to them. This behavior is incorrect, because the task has been already woken, it will be running on the wrong CPU without correct placement until the next wake-up or update for cpus_allowed. To fix this problem, we need to finish the wakeup (so they appear on the runqueue) before we migrate them. Reported-by: NSasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Reported-by: NJason J.

The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted() can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs. This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value. Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately overwritten with a smaller value by another thread. Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time progresses monotonically.

Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a lock. The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

Oleg pointed out that wait_task_zombie adds a task's usage statistics to the parent's signal struct, but the task's own signal struct should also propagate the statistics at exit time. This allows thread_group_cputime(reaped_zombie) to get the statistics after __unhash_process() has made the task invisible to for_each_thread, but before the thread has actually been rcu freed, making sure no non-monotonic results are returned inside that window.

An overrun could happen in function start_hrtick_dl() when a task with SCHED_DEADLINE runs in the microseconds range. For example, if a task with SCHED_DEADLINE has the following parameters: Task runtime deadline period P1 200us 500us 500us The deadline and period from task P1 are less than 1ms. In order to achieve microsecond precision, we need to enable HRTICK feature by the next command: PC#echo "HRTICK" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch & PC#./schedtool -E -t 200000:500000:500000 -e ./test The binary test is in an endless while(1) loop here. Some pieces of trace.dat are as follows: <idle>-0 157.603157: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test test-2481 157.603203: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 0:120: swapper/2 <idle>-0 157.605657: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test test-2481 157.608183: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 2483:120: trace-cmd trace-cmd-2483 157.609656: sched_switch:2483:R==>2481:4294967295: test We can get the runtime of P1 from the information above: runtime = 157.608183 - 157.605657 runtime = 0.002526(2.526ms) The correct runtime should be less than or equal to 200us at some point. The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 10000" in function start_hrtick_dl(). Because no hrtimer start up to control the rest of runtime when the reset of runtime is less than 10us. So the process will continue to run until tick-period is coming. Move the code with the limit of the least time slice from hrtick_start_fair() to hrtick_start() because the EDF schedule class also needs this function in start_hrtick_dl(). To fix this problem, we call hrtimer_start() unconditionally in start_hrtick_dl(), and make sure the scheduling slice won't be smaller than 10us in hrtimer_start().

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow. The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none of the invoked update functions used base_mono. commit cbcf2dd3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread() nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction. Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards. Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while. I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches. Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that. For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not recursive. Signed-off-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: H.

The nocb callbacks generated before the nocb kthreads are spawned are enqueued in the nocb queue for later processing. Commit fbce7497 ("rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups") introduced nocb leader kthreads which checked the nocb_leader_wake flag to see if there were any such pending callbacks. A case was reported in which newly spawned leader kthreads were not processing the pending callbacks as this flag was not set, which led to a boot hang. The following commit ensures that the newly spawned nocb kthreads process the pending callbacks by allowing the kthreads to run immediately after spawning instead of waiting. This is done by inverting the logic of nocb_leader_wake tests to nocb_leader_sleep which allows us to use the default initialization of this flag to 0 to let the kthreads run.

Epoll on trace_pipe can sometimes hang in a weird case. If the ring buffer is empty when we set waiters_pending but an event shows up exactly at that moment we can miss being woken up by the ring buffers irq work. Since ring_buffer_empty() is inherently racey we will sometimes think that the buffer is not empty. So we don't get woken up and we don't think there are any events even though there were some ready when we added the watch, which makes us hang. This patch fixes this by making sure that we are actually on the wait list before we set waiters_pending, and add a memory barrier to make sure ring_buffer_empty() is going to be correct.

In __ftrace_replace_code(), when converting the call to a nop in a function it needs to compare against the "curr" (current) value of the ftrace ops, and not the "new" one. It currently does not affect x86 which is the only arch to do the trampolines with function graph tracer, but when other archs that do depend on this code implement the function graph trampoline, it can crash.

The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that were registered within it (like function and function graph), which itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing. The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time. This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile. The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not cause a kernel oops). To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still share the hash, which is what is done. Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile is active.

Now that a ftrace_hash can be shared by multiple ftrace_ops, they can dec the rec->flags by more than once (one per those that share the ftrace_hash). This means that the tramp_hash may not have a hash item when it was added. For example, if two ftrace_ops share a hash for a ftrace record, and the first ops has a trampoline, when it adds itself it will set the rec->flags TRAMP flag and increments its nr_trampolines counter. When the second ops is added, it must clear that tramp flag but also decrement the other ops that shares its hash. As the update to the function callbacks has not yet been performed, the other ops will not have the tramp hash set yet and it can not be used to know to decrement its nr_trampolines. Luckily, the tramp_hash does not need to be used. As the ftrace_mutex is held, a ops with a trampoline to a record during an update of another ops that shares the record will have its func_hash pointing to it. Since a trampoline can only be set for a record if only one ops is attached to it, we can just check if the record has a trampoline (the FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag is set) and then find the ops that has this record in its hashes. Also added some output to help debug when things go wrong. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16+ (apply after 3.17-rc4 is out) Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently the top level debug file system function tracer shares its ftrace_ops with the function graph tracer. This was thought to be fine because the tracers are not used together, as one can only enable function or function_graph tracer in the current_tracer file. But that assumption proved to be incorrect. The function profiler can use the function graph tracer when function tracing is enabled. Since all function graph users uses the function tracing ftrace_ops this causes a conflict and when a user enables both function profiling as well as the function tracer it will crash ftrace and disable it. The quick solution so far is to move them as separate ftrace_ops like it was earlier. The problem though is to synchronize the functions that are traced because both function and function_graph tracer are limited by the selections made in the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files. To handle this, a new structure is made called ftrace_ops_hash. This structure will now hold the filter_hash and notrace_hash, and the ftrace_ops will point to this structure. That will allow two ftrace_ops to share the same hashes. Since most ftrace_ops do not share the hashes, and to keep allocation simple, the ftrace_ops structure will include both a pointer to the ftrace_ops_hash called func_hash, as well as the structure itself, called local_hash. When the ops are registered, the func_hash pointer will be initialized to point to the local_hash within the ftrace_ops structure. Some of the ftrace internal ftrace_ops will be initialized statically. This will allow for the function and function_graph tracer to have separate ops but still share the same hash tables that determine what functions they trace.
