git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready. The core features are mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of controllers. - cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup can depend on memory cgroup. This will be used to finally support IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being implemented. - The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place. Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the new interface. - cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or node goes down. All the changes are to the new interface and no behavior changed for the multiple hierarchies" * 'for-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (29 commits) cpuset: fix the WARN_ON() in update_nodemasks_hier() cgroup: initialize cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask from !->dfl_files test cgroup: make CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL and CFTYPE_NO_ internal to cgroup core cgroup: distinguish the default and legacy hierarchies when handling cftypes cgroup: replace cgroup_add_cftypes() with cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes() cgroup: rename cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to ->legacy_cftypes cgroup: split cgroup_base_files[] into cgroup_{dfl|legacy}_base_files[] cpuset: export effective masks to userspace cpuset: allow writing offlined masks to cpuset.cpus/mems cpuset: enable onlined cpu/node in effective masks cpuset: refactor cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() cpuset: make cs->{cpus, mems}_allowed as user-configured masks cpuset: apply cs->effective_{cpus,mems} cpuset: initialize top_cpuset's configured masks at mount cpuset: use effective cpumask to build sched domains cpuset: inherit ancestor's masks if effective_{cpus, mems} becomes empty cpuset: update cs->effective_{cpus, mems} when config changes cpuset: update cpuset->effective_{cpus,mems} at hotplug cpuset: add cs->effective_cpus and cs->effective_mems cgroup: clean up sane_behavior handling ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler fix from Thomas Gleixner: "Prevent a possible divide by zero in the debugging code" * 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched: Fix possible divide by zero in avg_atom() calculation
2014-07-16sched: Fix possible divide by zero in avg_atom() calculationMateusz Guzik
proc_sched_show_task() does: if (nr_switches) do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches); nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for division. Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead. As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct.

2014-07-15cgroup: rename cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to ->legacy_cftypesTejun Heo
Currently, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is used for both the unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to appear only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone. Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy without thinking it through. cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype arrays and apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default hierarchy. In preparation, this patch renames cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes. This patch is pure rename.

2014-06-23rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCUPaul E. McKenney
Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

2014-06-05sched/idle: Optimize try-to-wake-up IPIPeter Zijlstra
[ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like 99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few. The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a reliable indication that the idle task is polling. Once that's done, the rest is reasonably straightforward. ] When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over. However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it up and have the 'idle' loop do the work. So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet) set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.

2014-06-05sched/idle: Clear polling before descheduling the idle threadAndy Lutomirski
Currently, the only real guarantee provided by the polling bit is that, if you hold rq->lock and the polling bit is set, then you can set need_resched to force a reschedule. The only reason the lock is needed is that the idle thread might not be running at all when setting its need_resched bit, and rq->lock keeps it pinned. This is easy to fix: just clear the polling bit before scheduling. Now the idle thread's polling bit is only ever set when rq->curr == rq->idle.

The capacity of a CPU/group should be some intrinsic value that doesn't change with task placement. It is like a container which capacity is stable regardless of the amount of liquid in it (its "utilization")... unless the container itself is crushed that is, but that's another story.

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent to "CPU power".

2014-06-05sched/balancing: Reduce the rate of needless idle load balancingTim Chen
The current no_hz idle load balancer do load balancing for *all* idle cpus, even though the time due to load balance for a particular idle cpu could be still a while in the future. This introduces a much higher load balancing rate than what is necessary. The patch changes the behavior by only doing idle load balancing on behalf of an idle cpu only when it is due for load balancing. On SGI's systems with over 3000 cores, the cpu responsible for idle balancing got overwhelmed with idle balancing, and introduces a lot of OS noise to workloads. This patch fixes the issue.

2014-06-05sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some cfs_b->quota/periodBen Segall
sched_cfs_period_timer() reads cfs_b->period without locks before calling do_sched_cfs_period_timer(), and similarly unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() would read cfs_b->period without the right lock. Thus a simultaneous change of bandwidth could cause corruption on any platform where ktime_t or u64 writes/reads are not atomic. Extend cfs_b->lock from do_sched_cfs_period_timer() to include the read of cfs_b->period to solve that issue; unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() can just use 1 rather than the exact quota, much like distribute_cfs_runtime() does. There is also an unlocked read of cfs_b->runtime_expires, but a race there would only delay runtime expiry by a tick. Still, the comparison should just be != anyway, which clarifies even that problem.

2014-06-05sched/fair: Fix tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() deadlock on rq->lockRoman Gushchin
tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() sets cfs_b->timer_active to 0 to force the period timer restart. It's not safe, because can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccbf0: "__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock." Three CPUs must be involved: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 take rq->lock period timer fired ... take cfs_b lock ... ... tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() throttle_cfs_rq() release cfs_b lock take cfs_b lock ... distribute_cfs_runtime() timer_active = 0 take cfs_b->lock wait for rq->lock ... __start_cfs_bandwidth() {wait for timer callback break if timer_active == 1} So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked. Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and restart the timer explicitly.

2014-06-05sched/dl: Fix race in dl_task_timer()Kirill Tkhai
Throttled task is still on rq, and it may be moved to other cpu if user is playing with sched_setaffinity(). Therefore, unlocked task_rq() access makes the race. Juri Lelli reports he got this race when dl_bandwidth_enabled() was not set. Other thing, pointed by Peter Zijlstra: "Now I suppose the problem can still actually happen when you change the root domain and trigger a effective affinity change that way". To fix that we do the same as made in __task_rq_lock(). We do not use __task_rq_lock() itself, because it has a useful lockdep check, which is not correct in case of dl_task_timer(). We do not need pi_lock locked here. This case is an exception (PeterZ): "The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are thus free of ttwu races".

2014-05-22sched/numa: Decay ->wakee_flips instead of zeroingRik van Riel
Affine wakeups have the potential to interfere with NUMA placement. If a task wakes up too many other tasks, affine wakeups will get disabled. However, regardless of how many other tasks it wakes up, it gets re-enabled once a second, potentially interfering with NUMA placement of other tasks. By decaying wakee_wakes in half instead of zeroing it, we can avoid that problem for some workloads.

Update the migrate_improves/degrades_locality() functions with knowledge of pseudo-interleaving. Do not consider moving tasks around within the set of group's active nodes as improving or degrading locality. Instead, leave the load balancer free to balance the load between a numa_group's active nodes. Also, switch from the group/task_weight functions to the group/task_fault functions. The "weight" functions involve a division, but both calls use the same divisor, so there's no point in doing that from these functions. On a 4 node (x10 core) system, performance of SPECjbb2005 seems unaffected, though the number of migrations with 2 8-warehouse wide instances seems to have almost halved, due to the scheduler running each instance on a single node.

If the sched_clock time starts at a large value, the kernel will spin in sched_avg_update for a long time while rq->age_stamp catches up with rq->clock. The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise that it starts at zero. So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up to avoid this. I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at zero.

Currently, in idle_balance(), we update rq->next_balance when we pull_tasks. However, it is also important to update this in the !pulled_tasks case too. When the CPU is "busy" (the CPU isn't idle), rq->next_balance gets computed using sd->busy_factor (so we increase the balance interval when the CPU is busy). However, when the CPU goes idle, rq->next_balance could still be set to a large value that was computed with the sd->busy_factor. Thus, we need to also update rq->next_balance in idle_balance() in the cases where !pulled_tasks too, so that rq->next_balance gets updated without taking the busy_factor into account when the CPU is about to go idle. This patch makes rq->next_balance get updated independently of whether or not we pulled_task. Also, we add logic to ensure that we always traverse at least 1 of the sched domains to get a proper next_balance value for updating rq->next_balance. Additionally, since load_balance() modifies the sd->balance_interval, we need to re-obtain the sched domain's interval after the call to load_balance() in rebalance_domains() before we update rq->next_balance. This patch adds and uses 2 new helper functions, update_next_balance() and get_sd_balance_interval() to update next_balance and obtain the sched domain's balance_interval.
