Unfortunately a bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today. The executive summary of the review was: Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient? The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of functions is a really mess. Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient. Yes, the code is mess.

2014-01-16sched: Fix __sched_setscheduler() nice testPeter Zijlstra
With the introduction of sched_attr::sched_nice we need to check if we've got permission to actually change the nice value. Daniel found that can_nice() would always fail; and upon inspection it turns out that can_nice() only tests to see if we can lower the nice value, but it doesn't validate if we're lowering or not. Therefore amend the test to only call can_nice() when we lower the nice value.

2014-01-16futexes: Fix futex_hashsize initializationHeiko Carstens
"futexes: Increase hash table size for better performance" introduces a new alloc_large_system_hash() call. alloc_large_system_hash() however may allocate less memory than requested, e.g. limited by MAX_ORDER. Hence pass a pointer to alloc_large_system_hash() which will contain the hash shift when the function returns. Afterwards correctly set futex_hashsize. Fixes a crash on s390 where the requested allocation size was 4MB but only 1MB was allocated.

2014-01-13sched/preempt: Fix up missed PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED foldingPeter Zijlstra
With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper. Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations. While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop. So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

2014-01-13sched/preempt, locking: Rework local_bh_{dis,en}able()Peter Zijlstra
Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason. 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.

2014-01-13locking: Optimize lock_bh functionsPeter Zijlstra
Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations: local_bh_disable(); preempt_disable(); and for the unlock: preempt_enable_no_resched(); local_bh_enable(); Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable twice when you can do it in one go; use the new __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a preempt_count value to add/sub. 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.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Remove the sysctl_sched_dl knobsPeter Zijlstra
Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible to get right. The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks. Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly confusing imo. Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl. So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget. This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface for now.

For now deadline tasks are not allowed to set smp affinity; however the current tests are wrong, cure this. The test in __sched_setscheduler() also uses an on-stack cpumask_t which is a no-no. Change both tests to use cpumask_subset() such that we test the root domain span to be a subset of the cpus_allowed mask. This way we're sure the tasks can always run on all CPUs they can be balanced over, and have no effective affinity constraints.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: speed up SCHED_DEADLINE pushes with a push-heapJuri Lelli
Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of tasks (as sched_rt does). Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system is heavily loaded. The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt on large multi-CPUs machines [1]. Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure also for pull decisions is straightforward.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add bandwidth management for SCHED_DEADLINE tasksDario Faggioli
In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is important that some method of having the allocation of the available CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control. This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the -deadline tasks. Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group settings). Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e., new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with the same usage paradigm are added. However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level. Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP configurations). Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own (while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth. This patch, therefore: - adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of: * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us, * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us, that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks; - couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt -deadline tasks to stay below 100%. This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below: M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us) It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE inheritance logicDario Faggioli
Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation). This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution, what this commits does is: - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead, when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's deadline is postponed; - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime) used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline. Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner, still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous commit) pi-architecture. We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start discussion within the community.

2014-01-13rtmutex: Turn the plist into an rb-treePeter Zijlstra
Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code, and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and -priority tasks. This is done mainly because: - classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might not be enough for representing a deadline; - manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks), which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases. Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according to the following logic: - among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins; - among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins; - among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline wins. Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on a pi-lock.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add latency tracing for SCHED_DEADLINE tasksDario Faggioli
It is very likely that systems that wants/needs to use the new SCHED_DEADLINE policy also want to have the scheduling latency of the -deadline tasks under control. For this reason a new version of the scheduling wakeup latency, called "wakeup_dl", is introduced. As a consequence of applying this patch there will be three wakeup latency tracer: * "wakeup", that deals with all tasks in the system; * "wakeup_rt", that deals with -rt and -deadline tasks only; * "wakeup_dl", that deals with -deadline tasks only.

Make it possible to specify a period (different or equal than deadline) for -deadline tasks. Relative deadlines (D_i) are used on task arrivals to generate new scheduling (absolute) deadlines as "d = t + D_i", and periods (P_i) to postpone the scheduling deadlines as "d = d + P_i" when the budget is zero. This is in general useful to model (and schedule) tasks that have slow activation rates (long periods), but have to be scheduled soon once activated (short deadlines).

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE SMP-related data structures & logicJuri Lelli
Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing where a task should migrate, when it is the case. Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of migrating, or forbidding migrations at all. The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised: - -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues, - -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the following: * on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks are always running; * affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is always respected. Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled. IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing (push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU. To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline. E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task with the latest deadline among the M executing ones. In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used. Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to speed-up pushes.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE structures & implementationDario Faggioli
Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for SCHED_DEADLINE implementation. Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy are also added where they are needed. Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate the behaviour of tasks between each other. The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase (instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an instance) activates plus the relative deadline. The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline length time interval, avoiding any interference between different tasks (bandwidth isolation). Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new policy. To summarize, this patch: - introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed; - implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new scheduling class file; - provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl and the other existing scheduling classes.

2014-01-13sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling ↵Dario Faggioli
parameters ABI Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE). In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task, that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints, i.e.: - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time, - a minimum interval between consecutive instances, - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed. Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended. Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with legacy binaries. For these reasons, this patch: - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational model described above; - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr(). Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them available on other architectures is straightforward. Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch, the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

2014-01-13futexes: Avoid taking the hb->lock if there's nothing to wake upDavidlohr Bueso
In futex_wake() there is clearly no point in taking the hb->lock if we know beforehand that there are no tasks to be woken. While the hash bucket's plist head is a cheap way of knowing this, we cannot rely 100% on it as there is a racy window between the futex_wait call and when the task is actually added to the plist. To this end, we couple it with the spinlock check as tasks trying to enter the critical region are most likely potential waiters that will be added to the plist, thus preventing tasks sleeping forever if wakers don't acknowledge all possible waiters. Furthermore, the futex ordering guarantees are preserved, ensuring that waiters either observe the changed user space value before blocking or is woken by a concurrent waker. For wakers, this is done by relying on the barriers in get_futex_key_refs() -- for archs that do not have implicit mb in atomic_inc(), we explicitly add them through a new futex_get_mm function. For waiters we rely on the fact that spin_lock calls already update the head counter, so spinners are visible even if the lock hasn't been acquired yet. For more details please refer to the updated comments in the code and related discussion: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/26/556 Special thanks to tglx for careful review and feedback.

2014-01-13futexes: Increase hash table size for better performanceDavidlohr Bueso
Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from its fixed, smallish (for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as its lack of NUMA awareness. Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and different futexes hash to adjacent buckets. This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of this patch. Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the same cache line. Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one. For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server: +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | threads | baseline (ops/sec) | aligned-only (ops/sec) | large table (ops/sec) | large table+aligned (ops/sec) | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ |     512 |              32426 | 50531  (+55.8%)        | 255274  (+687.2%)     | 292553  (+802.2%)             | |     256 |              65360 | 99588  (+52.3%)        | 443563  (+578.6%)     | 508088  (+677.3%)             | |     128 |             125635 | 200075 (+59.2%)        | 742613  (+491.1%)     | 835452  (+564.9%)             | |      80 |             193559 | 323425 (+67.1%)        | 1028147 (+431.1%)     | 1130304 (+483.9%)             | |      64 |             247667 | 443740 (+79.1%)        | 997300  (+302.6%)     | 1145494 (+362.5%)             | |      32 |             628412 | 721401 (+14.7%)        | 965996  (+53.7%)      | 1122115 (+78.5%)              | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ Reviewed-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
