Commit c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The actual results were 3.3.0-rc3 3.3.0-rc3 rc3-vanilla nobarrier-v2r1 Clients 1 UserTime 0.07 ( 0.00%) 0.08 (-14.19%) Clients 2 UserTime 0.07 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( 2.72%) Clients 4 UserTime 0.08 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( 3.29%) Clients 1 SysTime 0.70 ( 0.00%) 0.65 ( 6.65%) Clients 2 SysTime 0.85 ( 0.00%) 0.82 ( 3.65%) Clients 4 SysTime 1.41 ( 0.00%) 1.41 ( 0.32%) Clients 1 WallTime 0.77 ( 0.00%) 0.74 ( 4.19%) Clients 2 WallTime 0.47 ( 0.00%) 0.45 ( 3.73%) Clients 4 WallTime 0.38 ( 0.00%) 0.37 ( 1.58%) Clients 1 Flt/sec/cpu 497620.28 ( 0.00%) 520294.53 ( 4.56%) Clients 2 Flt/sec/cpu 414639.05 ( 0.00%) 429882.01 ( 3.68%) Clients 4 Flt/sec/cpu 257959.16 ( 0.00%) 258761.48 ( 0.31%) Clients 1 Flt/sec 495161.39 ( 0.00%) 517292.87 ( 4.47%) Clients 2 Flt/sec 820325.95 ( 0.00%) 850289.77 ( 3.65%) Clients 4 Flt/sec 1020068.93 ( 0.00%) 1022674.06 ( 0.26%) MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 135.68 132.17 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 164.2 160.13 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 123.46 120.87 The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

When a new thread handler is created, an irqaction is passed to it as data. Not only that irqaction is stored in task_struct by the handler for later use, but also a structure associated with the kernel thread keeps this value as long as the thread exists. This fix kicks irqaction out off task_struct. Yes, I introduce new bit field. But it allows not only to eliminate the duplicate, but also shortens size of task_struct.

Make vfork() killable. Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared with our child. However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other. Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs some complications. NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including SIGKILL/SIGSTOP. However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

This is a port of commit #82e78d80 from TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This commit uses the fact that current->rcu_boost_mutex is set any time that the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED flag is set in the current->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask. This allows tests of the bit to be changed to tests of the pointer, which in turn allows the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED flag to be eliminated. Please note that the check of current->rcu_read_unlock_special need not change because any time that RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED was set, so was RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED. Therefore, __rcu_read_unlock() can continue testing current->rcu_read_unlock_special for non-zero, as before. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

threadgroup_lock() protected only protected against new addition to the threadgroup, which was inherently somewhat incomplete and problematic for its only user cgroup. On-going migration could race against exec and exit leading to interesting problems - the symmetry between various attach methods, task exiting during method execution, ->exit() racing against attach methods, migrating task switching basic properties during exec and so on. This patch extends threadgroup_lock() such that it protects against all three threadgroup altering operations - fork, exit and exec. For exit, threadgroup_change_begin/end() calls are added to exit_signals around assertion of PF_EXITING. For exec, threadgroup_[un]lock() are updated to also grab and release cred_guard_mutex. With this change, threadgroup_lock() guarantees that the target threadgroup will remain stable - no new task will be added, no new PF_EXITING will be set and exec won't happen. The next patch will update cgroup so that it can take full advantage of this change. -v2: beefed up comment as suggested by Frederic. -v3: narrowed scope of protection in exit path as suggested by Frederic.

Commit 908a3283 (Fix idle_cpu()) invalidated some uses of idle_cpu(), which used to say whether or not the CPU was running the idle task, but now instead says whether or not the CPU is running the idle task in the absence of pending wakeups. Although this new implementation gives a better answer to the question "is this CPU idle?", it also invalidates other uses that were made of idle_cpu(). This commit therefore introduces a new is_idle_task() API member that determines whether or not the specified task is one of the idle tasks, allowing open-coded "->pid == 0" sequences to be replaced by something more meaningful.

To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy.

There's no in-kernel user of set_freezable_with_signal() left. Mixing TIF_SIGPENDING with kernel threads can lead to nasty corner cases as kernel threads never travel signal delivery path on their own. e.g. the current implementation is buggy in the cancelation path of __thaw_task(). It calls recalc_sigpending_and_wake() in an attempt to clear TIF_SIGPENDING but the function never clears it regardless of sigpending state. This means that signallable freezable kthreads may continue executing with !freezing() && stuck TIF_SIGPENDING, which can be troublesome. This patch removes set_freezable_with_signal() along with PF_FREEZER_NOSIG and recalc_sigpending*() calls in freezer. User tasks get TIF_SIGPENDING, kernel tasks get woken up and the spurious sigpending is dealt with in the usual signal delivery path.

Add two fields to task_struct. 1) account dirtied pages in the individual tasks, for accuracy 2) per-task balance_dirty_pages() call intervals, for flexibility The balance_dirty_pages() call interval (ie. nr_dirtied_pause) will scale near-sqrt to the safety gap between dirty pages and threshold. The main problem of per-task nr_dirtied is, if 1k+ tasks start dirtying pages at exactly the same time, each task will be assigned a large initial nr_dirtied_pause, so that the dirty threshold will be exceeded long before each task reached its nr_dirtied_pause and hence call balance_dirty_pages(). The solution is to watch for the number of pages dirtied on each CPU in between the calls into balance_dirty_pages(). If it exceeds ratelimit_pages (3% dirty threshold), force call balance_dirty_pages() for a chance to set bdi->dirty_exceeded. In normal situations, this safeguarding condition is not expected to trigger at all. On the sqrt in dirty_poll_interval(): It will serve as an initial guess when dirty pages are still in the freerun area. When dirty pages are floating inside the dirty control scope [freerun, limit], a followup patch will use some refined dirty poll interval to get the desired pause time. thresh-dirty (MB) sqrt 1 16 2 22 4 32 8 45 16 64 32 90 64 128 128 181 256 256 512 362 1024 512 The above table means, given 1MB (or 1GB) gap and the dd tasks polling balance_dirty_pages() on every 16 (or 512) pages, the dirty limit won't be exceeded as long as there are less than 16 (or 512) concurrent dd's. So sqrt naturally leads to less overheads and more safe concurrent tasks for large memory servers, which have large (thresh-freerun) gaps. peter: keep the per-CPU ratelimit for safeguarding the 1k+ tasks case CC: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Reviewed-by: NAndrea Righi <andrea@betterlinux.com> Signed-off-by: NWu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries). For example: [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404) thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739) self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698) [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'. I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements are the outer-most ones. --- #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> static pthread_barrier_t barrier; static void *chew_cpu(void *arg) { pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); while (1) __asm__ __volatile__("" : : : "memory"); return NULL; } int main(void) { clockid_t process_clock, my_thread_clock, th_clock; struct timespec process_before, process_after; struct timespec me_before, me_after; struct timespec th_before, th_after; struct timespec sleeptime; unsigned long diff; pthread_t th; int err; err = clock_getcpuclockid(0, &process_clock); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_self(), &my_thread_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_init(&barrier, NULL, 2); err = pthread_create(&th, NULL, chew_cpu, NULL); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(th, &th_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_before); if (err) return 1; sleeptime.tv_sec = 0; sleeptime.tv_nsec = 500000000; nanosleep(&sleeptime, NULL); err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_after); if (err) return 1; diff = process_after.tv_nsec - process_before.tv_nsec; printf("process: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", process_before.tv_sec, process_before.tv_nsec, process_after.tv_sec, process_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = th_after.tv_nsec - th_before.tv_nsec; printf("thread: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", th_before.tv_sec, th_before.tv_nsec, th_after.tv_sec, th_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = me_after.tv_nsec - me_before.tv_nsec; printf("self: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", me_before.tv_sec, me_before.tv_nsec, me_after.tv_sec, me_after.tv_nsec, diff); return 0; } This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

Add to the dev_state and alloc_async structures the user namespace corresponding to the uid and euid. Pass these to kill_pid_info_as_uid(), which can then implement a proper, user-namespace-aware uid check. Changelog: Sep 20: Per Oleg's suggestion: Instead of caching and passing user namespace, uid, and euid each separately, pass a struct cred. Sep 26: Address Alan Stern's comments: don't define a struct cred at usbdev_open(), and take and put a cred at async_completed() to ensure it lasts for the duration of kill_pid_info_as_cred().

Commit 7765be (Fix RCU_BOOST race handling current->rcu_read_unlock_special) introduced a new ->rcu_boosted field in the task structure. This is redundant because the existing ->rcu_boost_mutex will be non-NULL at any time that ->rcu_boosted is nonzero. Therefore, this commit removes ->rcu_boosted and tests ->rcu_boost_mutex instead.

The thread_group_cputimer lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.

Account bandwidth usage on the cfs_rq level versus the task_groups to which they belong. Whether we are tracking bandwidth on a given cfs_rq is maintained under cfs_rq->runtime_enabled. cfs_rq's which belong to a bandwidth constrained task_group have their runtime accounted via the update_curr() path, which withdraws bandwidth from the global pool as desired. Updates involving the global pool are currently protected under cfs_bandwidth->lock, local runtime is protected by rq->lock. This patch only assigns and tracks quota, no action is taken in the case that cfs_rq->runtime_used exceeds cfs_rq->runtime_assigned.
