      We now have implicit batching in the timer wheel. The slack API is no longer
      used, so remove it.

      timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel · 500462a9
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The current timer wheel has some drawbacks:
      
      1) Cascading:
      
         Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most
         cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or
         rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as
         real timers to measure time.)
      
      2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer:
      
         In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period
         must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we
         have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly
         and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers
         in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment
         when we should wake up as fast as possible.
      
      After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops,
      workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the
      conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be
      modified to address the above issues.
      
      The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before
      expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The
      nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack
      timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the
      accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often
      approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already
      waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already.
      
      The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories:
      
       1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry
      
       2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the
          batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the
          set_timer_slack() API.
      
      So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just
      leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or
      cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel
      capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible
      timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection,
      but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise.
      
      To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the
      longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the
      first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as
      the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on
      that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer
      locality for the networking code as well.
      
      Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the
      capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the
      currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel.
      
      So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels:
      
       Level Offset   Granularity                  Range
           0      0          4 ms                 0 ms -        252 ms
           1     64         32 ms               256 ms -       2044 ms (256ms - ~2s)
           2    128        256 ms              2048 ms -      16380 ms (~2s   - ~16s)
           3    192       2048 ms (~2s)       16384 ms -     131068 ms (~16s  - ~2m)
           4    256      16384 ms (~16s)     131072 ms -    1048572 ms (~2m   - ~17m)
           5    320     131072 ms (~2m)     1048576 ms -    8388604 ms (~17m  - ~2h)
           6    384    1048576 ms (~17m)    8388608 ms -   67108863 ms (~2h   - ~18h)
           7    448    8388608 ms (~2h)    67108864 ms -  536870911 ms (~18h  - ~6d)
      
      That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the
      beginning of a level.
      
      So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues:
      
      1) Cascading is avoided completely
      
      2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track
         the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can
         look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1).
      
      A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done
      on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels
      provide natural batching already.
      
      Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance
      degradation vs. the current wheel implementation.
      
      This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure
      that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The
      optimizations are in follow up patches.
      
      This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

      timers: Make 'pinned' a timer property · e675447b
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model.
      
      Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via
      a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned().
      
      The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer
      in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in
      timer->flags.
      
      This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs
      recognize the flag.
      
      This patch:
      
       - Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization
         methods
      
       - makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers,
      
       - and adds some migration helper facility to allow
         step by step conversion of old-style to new-style
         pinned timers.

           jump_label_update()
           jump_label_unlock()
      
      Testing the static key at the point marked by (**) will follow the
      wrong path for jumps that have not been patched yet.  This can
      actually happen when creating many KVM virtual machines with userspace
      LAPIC emulation; just run several copies of the following program:
      
          #include <fcntl.h>
          #include <unistd.h>
          #include <sys/ioctl.h>
          #include <linux/kvm.h>
      
          int main(void)
          {
              for (;;) {
                  int kvmfd = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY);
                  int vmfd = ioctl(kvmfd, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
                  close(ioctl(vmfd, KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 1));
                  close(vmfd);
                  close(kvmfd);
              }
              return 0;
          }
      
      Every KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl will attempt a static_key_slow_inc() call.
      The static key's purpose is to skip NULL pointer checks and indeed one
      of the processes eventually dereferences NULL.
      
      As explained in the commit that introduced the bug:
      
        706249c2 ("locking/static_keys: Rework update logic")
      
      jump_label_update() needs key.enabled to be true.  The solution adopted
      here is to temporarily make key.enabled == -1, and use go down the
      slow path when key.enabled <= 0.

      value in pwm_apply_state() to ensure we were not passing inappropriate
      values to the ->config() or ->apply() methods.
      
      The conjunction of these 2 commits led to a case where pwm_disable()
      was no longer succeeding, thus preventing the polarity setting done
      in pwm_apply_args().

      case was added with 2c94b537 ("net: Implement net_dbg_ratelimited() for
      CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case"). The implementation strategy was to take the
      usual definition of the dynamic_pr_debug macro, but alter it by adding a
      call to "net_ratelimit()" in the if statement. This is, in fact, the
      correct approach.
      
      However, while doing this, the author of the commit forgot to surround
      fmt by pr_fmt, resulting in unprefixed log messages appearing in the
      console. So, this commit adds back the pr_fmt(fmt) invocation, making
      net_dbg_ratelimited properly consistent across DEBUG, no DEBUG, and
      DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases, and bringing parity with the behavior of
      dynamic_pr_debug as well.
      
      Fixes: 2c94b537 ("net: Implement net_dbg_ratelimited() for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case")

      rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU Stall · 088e9d25
      Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 提交于
      It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by
      analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused
      by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu
      is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq.
      
      We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for
      some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in
      some scenarios, like when supporting customers.
      
      This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If
      set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place,
      enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze
      all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the
      solution for the stall.
      
      The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default.
      
      Changes from v1:
      - Fixed a typo in the git log
      - The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function
      - Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue
      - The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly

      rcu: Make call_rcu_tasks() tolerate first call with irqs disabled · 4929c913
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled,
      it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will
      result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes
      with the expectation that irqs are enabled.
      
      This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called
      with irqs disabled.  The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs
      enabled will create the kthread.
      
      This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by
      Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation-testing efforts.
