      sched: don't rebalance if attached on NULL domain · 8a0be9ef

      Impact: fix function graph trace hang / drop pointless softirq on UP
      
      While debugging a function graph trace hang on an old PII, I saw
      that it consumed most of its time on the timer interrupt. And
      the domain rebalancing softirq was the most concerned.
      
      The timer interrupt calls trigger_load_balance() which will
      decide if it is worth to schedule a rebalancing softirq.
      
      In case of builtin UP kernel, no problem arises because there is
      no domain question.
      
      In case of builtin SMP kernel running on an SMP box, still no
      problem, the softirq will be raised each time we reach the
      next_balance time.
      
      In case of builtin SMP kernel running on a UP box (most distros
      provide default SMP kernels, whatever the box you have), then
      the CPU is attached to the NULL sched domain. So a kind of
      unexpected behaviour happen:
      
      trigger_load_balance() -> raises the rebalancing softirq later
      on softirq: run_rebalance_domains() -> rebalance_domains() where
      the for_each_domain(cpu, sd) is not taken because of the NULL
      domain we are attached at. Which means rq->next_balance is never
      updated. So on the next timer tick, we will enter
      trigger_load_balance() which will always reschedule() the
      rebalacing softirq:
      
      if (time_after_eq(jiffies, rq->next_balance))
      	raise_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ);
      
      So for each tick, we process this pointless softirq.
      
      This patch fixes it by checking if we are attached to the null
      domain before raising the softirq, another possible fix would be
      to set the maximal possible JIFFIES value to rq->next_balance if
      we are attached to the NULL domain.

      x86 mmiotrace: fix race with release_kmmio_fault_page() · 340430c5
      Pekka Paalanen 提交于
      There was a theoretical possibility to a race between arming a page in
      post_kmmio_handler() and disarming the page in
      release_kmmio_fault_page():
      
      cpu0                             cpu1
      ------------------------------------------------------------------
      mmiotrace shutdown
      enter release_kmmio_fault_page
                                       fault on the page
                                       disarm the page
      disarm the page
                                       handle the MMIO access
                                       re-arm the page
      put the page on release list
      remove_kmmio_fault_pages()
                                       fault on the page
                                       page not known to mmiotrace
                                       fall back to do_page_fault()
                                       *KABOOM*
      
      (This scenario also shows the double disarm case which is allowed.)
      
      Fixed by acquiring kmmio_lock in post_kmmio_handler() and checking
      if the page is being released from mmiotrace.

      x86 mmiotrace: improve handling of secondary faults · 3e39aa15
      Stuart Bennett 提交于
      Upgrade some kmmio.c debug messages to warnings.
      Allow secondary faults on probed pages to fall through, and only log
      secondary faults that are not due to non-present pages.

      Split set_page_presence() in kmmio.c into two more functions set_pmd_presence()
      and set_pte_presence(). Purely code reorganization, no functional changes.

      Blindly setting _PAGE_PRESENT in disarm_kmmio_fault_page() overlooks the
      possibility, that the page was not present when it was armed.
      
      Make arm_kmmio_fault_page() store the previous page presence in struct
      kmmio_fault_page and use it on disarm.
      
      This patch was originally written by Stuart Bennett, but Pekka Paalanen
      rewrote it a little different.
