| | * tick: Rename tick_check_idle() to tick_irq_enter()Frederic Weisbecker2014-01-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit(). These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action: we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry. This rename was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a long while ago but it got forgotten in the mass.

| * | sched/preempt, locking: Rework local_bh_{dis,en}able()Peter Zijlstra2014-01-131-29/+6

So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on load/store archs). Also expose two new local_bh functions: __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt); Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour. The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock functions. With build fixes from Jacob Pan.

| * | locking: Optimize lock_bh functionsPeter Zijlstra2014-01-131-2/+2

So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to add/sub to be done in one go. As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage. This reduces a 1000 loops of: spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock); spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock); from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few runs I did for each suggest it is so.

* | lockdep: Simplify a bit hardirq <-> softirq transitionsFrederic Weisbecker2013-11-271-21/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication, just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions return values and parameters. It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter case assume both states.

| * lockdep: Correctly annotate hardirq context in irq_exit()Peter Zijlstra2013-11-191-9/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a reported deadlock on -rt which lockdep didn't report. It turns out that in irq_exit() we tell lockdep that the hardirq context ends and then do all kinds of locking afterwards. To fix it, move trace_hardirq_exit() to the very end of irq_exit(), this ensures all locking in tick_irq_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() are properly recorded as happening from hardirq context. This however leads to the 'fun' little problem of running softirqs while in hardirq context. To cure this make the softirq code a little more complex (in the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case). Due to stack swizzling arch dependent trickery we cannot pass an argument to __do_softirq() to tell it if it was done from hardirq context or not; so use a side-band argument. When we do __do_softirq() from hardirq context, 'atomically' flip to softirq context and back, so that no locking goes without being in either hard- or soft-irq context. I didn't find any new problems in mainline using this patch, but it did show the -rt problem.

For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here, the worst case scenario is: hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable. Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve. So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache issues that come along.

* | irq: Force hardirq exit's softirq processing on its own stackFrederic Weisbecker2013-10-011-3/+12

But as a side effect, the softirqs processed in the end of the hardirq are always called on the inline current stack that is used by irq_exit() instead of the softirq stack provided by the archs that override do_softirq(). The result is mostly safe if the architecture runs irq_exit() on a separate irq stack because then softirqs are processed on that same stack that is near empty at this stage (assuming hardirq aren't nesting). Otherwise irq_exit() runs in the task stack and so does the softirq too. The interrupted call stack can be randomly deep already and the softirq can dig through it even further. To add insult to the injury, this softirq can be interrupted by a new hardirq, maximizing the chances for a stack overrun as reported in powerpc for example: do_IRQ: stack overflow: 1920 CPU: 0 PID: 1602 Comm: qemu-system-ppc Not tainted 3.10.4-300.1.fc19.ppc64p7 #1 Call Trace: [c0000000050a8740] .show_stack+0x130/0x200 (unreliable) [c0000000050a8810] .dump_stack+0x28/0x3c [c0000000050a8880] .do_IRQ+0x2b8/0x2c0 [c0000000050a8930] hardware_interrupt_common+0x154/0x180 --- Exception: 501 at .cp_start_xmit+0x3a4/0x820 [8139cp] LR = .cp_start_xmit+0x390/0x820 [8139cp] [c0000000050a8d40] .dev_hard_start_xmit+0x394/0x640 [c0000000050a8e00] .sch_direct_xmit+0x110/0x260 [c0000000050a8ea0] .dev_queue_xmit+0x260/0x630 [c0000000050a8f40] .br_dev_queue_push_xmit+0xc4/0x130 [bridge] [c0000000050a8fc0] .br_dev_xmit+0x198/0x270 [bridge] [c0000000050a9070] .dev_hard_start_xmit+0x394/0x640 [c0000000050a9130] .dev_queue_xmit+0x428/0x630 [c0000000050a91d0] .ip_finish_output+0x2a4/0x550 [c0000000050a9290] .ip_local_out+0x50/0x70 [c0000000050a9310] .ip_queue_xmit+0x148/0x420 [c0000000050a93b0] .tcp_transmit_skb+0x4e4/0xaf0 [c0000000050a94a0] .__tcp_ack_snd_check+0x7c/0xf0 [c0000000050a9520] .tcp_rcv_established+0x1e8/0x930 [c0000000050a95f0] .tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x21c/0x570 [c0000000050a96c0] .tcp_v4_rcv+0x734/0x930 [c0000000050a97a0] .ip_local_deliver_finish+0x184/0x360 [c0000000050a9840] .ip_rcv_finish+0x148/0x400 [c0000000050a98d0] .__netif_receive_skb_core+0x4f8/0xb00 [c0000000050a99d0] .netif_receive_skb+0x44/0x110 [c0000000050a9a70] .br_handle_frame_finish+0x2bc/0x3f0 [bridge] [c0000000050a9b20] .br_nf_pre_routing_finish+0x2ac/0x420 [bridge] [c0000000050a9bd0] .br_nf_pre_routing+0x4dc/0x7d0 [bridge] [c0000000050a9c70] .nf_iterate+0x114/0x130 [c0000000050a9d30] .nf_hook_slow+0xb4/0x1e0 [c0000000050a9e00] .br_handle_frame+0x290/0x330 [bridge] [c0000000050a9ea0] .__netif_receive_skb_core+0x34c/0xb00 [c0000000050a9fa0] .netif_receive_skb+0x44/0x110 [c0000000050aa040] .napi_gro_receive+0xe8/0x120 [c0000000050aa0c0] .cp_rx_poll+0x31c/0x590 [8139cp] [c0000000050aa1d0] .net_rx_action+0x1dc/0x310 [c0000000050aa2b0] .__do_softirq+0x158/0x330 [c0000000050aa3b0] .irq_exit+0xc8/0x110 [c0000000050aa430] .do_IRQ+0xdc/0x2c0 [c0000000050aa4e0] hardware_interrupt_common+0x154/0x180 --- Exception: 501 at .bad_range+0x1c/0x110 LR = .get_page_from_freelist+0x908/0xbb0 [c0000000050aa7d0] .list_del+0x18/0x50 (unreliable) [c0000000050aa850] .get_page_from_freelist+0x908/0xbb0 [c0000000050aa9e0] .__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x21c/0xae0 [c0000000050aaba0] .alloc_pages_vma+0xd0/0x210 [c0000000050aac60] .handle_pte_fault+0x814/0xb70 [c0000000050aad50] .__get_user_pages+0x1a4/0x640 [c0000000050aae60] .get_user_pages_fast+0xec/0x160 [c0000000050aaf10] .__gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x3b0/0x430 [kvm] [c0000000050aafd0] .kvmppc_gfn_to_pfn+0x64/0x130 [kvm] [c0000000050ab070] .kvmppc_mmu_map_page+0x94/0x530 [kvm] [c0000000050ab190] .kvmppc_handle_pagefault+0x174/0x610 [kvm] [c0000000050ab270] .kvmppc_handle_exit_pr+0x464/0x9b0 [kvm] [c0000000050ab320] kvm_start_lightweight+0x1ec/0x1fc [kvm] [c0000000050ab4f0] .kvmppc_vcpu_run_pr+0x168/0x3b0 [kvm] [c0000000050ab9c0] .kvmppc_vcpu_run+0xc8/0xf0 [kvm] [c0000000050aba50] .kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x5c/0x1a0 [kvm] [c0000000050abae0] .kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x478/0x730 [kvm] [c0000000050abc90] .do_vfs_ioctl+0x4ec/0x7c0 [c0000000050abd80] .SyS_ioctl+0xd4/0xf0 [c0000000050abe30] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98 Since this is a regression, this patch proposes a minimalistic and low-risk solution by blindly forcing the hardirq exit processing of softirqs on the softirq stack.

* kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker2013-07-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

The reason __do_softirq can hang is that it has a bail-out based on jiffies timeout, but in the lockup case, jiffies itself is not incremented. To work around this, re-add the max_restart counter in __do_irq and stop processing irqs after 10 restarts. Thanks to Tejun Heo and Rusty Russell and others for helping me track this down. This was introduced in 3.9 by commit c10d73671ad3 ("softirq: reduce latencies"). It may be worth looking into ath9k to see if it has issues with its irq handler at a later date.

This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

| * | nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMONFrederic Weisbecker2013-04-031-1/+1

The user must be able to easily pick any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick, idle dynticks, full dynticks. As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure. It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now. So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ. On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default. But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into a circular dependency: 1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select CONFIG_NO_HZ 2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour. So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks (that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code) and select it from their referring Kconfig. Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ to it for backward compatibility.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET trick was used to make sure the irq doesn't get preempted after we substract the HARDIRQ_OFFSET until we are entirely done with any code in irq_exit(). This workaround was necessary because some archs may call irq_exit() with irqs enabled and there is still some code in the end of this function that is not covered by the HARDIRQ_OFFSET but want to stay non-preemptible. Now that irq are always disabled in irq_exit(), the whole code is guaranteed not to be preempted. We can thus remove this hack.

This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher, and some actions can consume a lot of cycles. This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to : - A time limit of 2 ms. - need_resched() being set on current task When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs. Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls, as we can keep BH disabled for too long. I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order of magnitude) : In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in background, using all available cpus.

* cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooksFrederic Weisbecker2012-10-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account() is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the context: if we are interrupting the idle task we account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time, softirq time, ... However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry and softirq entry: * Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle. * The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time already flushed from the hardirq entry. In the other cases we always account to system/irq time: * On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time. * On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time. To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account() and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call vtime_account_system(). CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting as well in the future.

* mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq contextMel Gorman2012-07-311-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of PF_MEMALLOC. Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in interrupts (hard or soft) context. Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag. The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to the following reasons Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags should not leak to an unrelated softirq. Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS flag. If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted, the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.
