      tick: Clear broadcast pending bit when switching to oneshot · dd5fd9b9
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
      trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.
      
      The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
      cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
      CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
      CPU1 bringup looks like this:
      
        clockevent_register_device(local_apic);
        tick_setup(local_apic);
        ...
        idle()
      	tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE);
      	tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
      	  cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
      	halt();
      
      Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the
      broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues:
      
      	local_apic_timer_interrupt()
      	   tick_handle_periodic();
      	   softirq()
      	     tick_init_highres();
      	       cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
      	
      	tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
      	   WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask);
      
      So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
      over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
      triggers the warning when we go back to idle.
      
      The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
      that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
      acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
      remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
      already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
      oneshot mask.
      
      The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
      bit when we switch over to highres mode.
      
      Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the
      C1E workaround and debugging the fallout. I picked mine, because mine
      has a changelog :)

      ring-buffer: Fix first commit on sub-buffer having non-zero delta · d651aa1d
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
      that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
      bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
      what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
      entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
      that timestamp.
      
      As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
      allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.
      
      Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
      from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
      slightly skewed.
      
      Fixes: 69d1b839 "ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together"

      time: Fix overflow when HZ is smaller than 60 · 80d767d7
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the
      emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing
      timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32.
      
      This causes integer underflow in
      kernel/time/jiffies.c:
      kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]
        .mult  = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */
        ^
      
      This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

      execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing · c4ad8f98
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
      filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
      users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.
      
      The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
      use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
      lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
      obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
      the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
      which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
      mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.
      
      To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
      "getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
      function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.
      
      As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
      from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
      setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.

      sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migration · 286549dc
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch adds three tracepoints
       o trace_sched_move_numa	when a task is moved to a node
       o trace_sched_swap_numa	when a task is swapped with another task
       o trace_sched_stick_numa	when a numa-related migration fails
      
      The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the
      following high-level metrics can be calculated
      
       o NUMA migrated stuck	 nr trace_sched_stick_numa
       o NUMA migrated idle	 nr trace_sched_move_numa
       o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa
       o NUMA local swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen)
       o NUMA remote swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped)
       o NUMA group swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid
      			 Maybe a small number of these are acceptable
      			 but a high number would be a major surprise.
      			 It would be even worse if bounces are frequent.
       o NUMA avg task migs.	 Average number of migrations for tasks
       o NUMA stddev task mig	 Self-explanatory
       o NUMA max task migs.	 Maximum number of migrations for a single task
      
      In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems
      where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount
      of useless work.

      introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread() · 0c740d0a
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      while_each_thread() and next_thread() should die, almost every lockless
      usage is wrong.
      
      1. Unless g == current, the lockless while_each_thread() is not safe.
      
         while_each_thread(g, t) can loop forever if g exits, next_thread()
         can't reach the unhashed thread in this case. Note that this can
         happen even if g is the group leader, it can exec.
      
      2. Even if while_each_thread() itself was correct, people often use
         it wrongly.
      
         It was never safe to just take rcu_read_lock() and loop unless
         you verify that pid_alive(g) == T, even the first next_thread()
         can point to the already freed/reused memory.
      
      This patch adds signal_struct->thread_head and task->thread_node to
      create the normal rcu-safe list with the stable head.  The new
      for_each_thread(g, t) helper is always safe under rcu_read_lock() as
      long as this task_struct can't go away.
      
      Note: of course it is ugly to have both task_struct->thread_node and the
      old task_struct->thread_group, we will kill it later, after we change
      the users of while_each_thread() to use for_each_thread().
      
      Perhaps we can kill it even before we convert all users, we can
      reimplement next_thread(t) using the new thread_head/thread_node.  But
      we can't do this right now because this will lead to subtle behavioural
      changes.  For example, do/while_each_thread() always sees at least one
      task, while for_each_thread() can do nothing if the whole thread group
      has died.  Or thread_group_empty(), currently its semantics is not clear
      unless thread_group_leader(p) and we need to audit the callers before we
      can change it.
      
      So this patch adds the new interface which has to coexist with the old
      one for some time, hopefully the next changes will be more or less
      straightforward and the old one will go away soon.
