2010-02-25rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitivesPaul E. McKenney
Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses, which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh, RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to enlist the aid of lockdep. This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach: o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched. o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU. o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!) The primitives are: For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void) For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void) For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void) For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp) o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument in which one places a boolean expression based on the above primitives and/or lockdep_is_held(). o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, and should be quite helpful during the transition period while CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight. The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but upcoming patches will change that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2010-02-16sched: Fix SMT scheduler regression in find_busiest_queue()Suresh Siddha
Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads in another core (on the same socket) are busy. This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted) commit bdb94aa5dbd8b55e75f5a50b61312fe589e2c2d1 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:38 2009 +0200 sched: Try to deal with low capacity @@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue() ... for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) { + unsigned long power = power_of(i); ... - wl = weighted_cpuload(i); + wl = weighted_cpuload(i) * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE; + wl /= power; - if (rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) + if (capacity && rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) continue; On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above) can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance. We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance, wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load. But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity, as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group.

2010-02-11ptrace: Add support for generic PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSETSuresh Siddha
Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES in an ELF core file. 'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer. struct iovec iov = { buf, len}; ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov); On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf. x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

The branch annotation is a bit difficult to see the worst offenders because it only sorts by percentage: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 0 163 100 qdisc_restart sch_generic.c 179 0 163 100 pfifo_fast_dequeue sch_generic.c 447 0 4 100 pskb_trim_rcsum skbuff.h 1689 0 4 100 llc_rcv llc_input.c 170 0 18 100 psmouse_interrupt psmouse-base.c 304 0 3 100 atkbd_interrupt atkbd.c 389 0 5 100 usb_alloc_dev usb.c 437 0 11 100 vsscanf vsprintf.c 1897 0 2 100 IS_ERR err.h 34 0 23 100 __rmqueue_fallback page_alloc.c 865 0 4 100 probe_wakeup_sched_switch trace_sched_wakeup.c 142 0 3 100 move_masked_irq migration.c 11 Adding the incorrect and correct values as sort keys makes this file a bit more informative: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 0 366541 100 audit_syscall_entry auditsc.c 1637 0 366538 100 audit_syscall_exit auditsc.c 1685 0 115839 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 269 0 74567 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 222 0 66578 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 177 0 15113 100 trace_workqueue_insertion workqueue.h 38 0 15107 100 trace_workqueue_execution workqueue.h 45 0 3622 100 syscall_trace_leave ptrace.c 1772 0 2750 100 sched_move_task sched.c 10100 0 2750 100 sched_move_task sched.c 10110 0 1815 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1462 0 837 100 audit_alloc auditsc.c 879 0 814 100 tcp_mss_split_point tcp_output.c 1302 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2010-02-08sched: cpuacct: Use bigger percpu counter batch values for stats countersAnton Blanchard
When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT are enabled we can call cpuacct_update_stats with values much larger than percpu_counter_batch. This means the call to percpu_counter_add will always add to the global count which is protected by a spinlock and we end up with a global spinlock in the scheduler. Based on an idea by KOSAKI Motohiro, this patch scales the batch value by cputime_one_jiffy such that we have the same batch limit as we would if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING was disabled. His patch did this once at boot but that initialisation happened too early on PowerPC (before time_init) and it was never updated at runtime as a result of a hotplug cpu add/remove. This patch instead scales percpu_counter_batch by cputime_one_jiffy at runtime, which keeps the batch correct even after cpu hotplug operations. We cap it at INT_MAX in case of overflow. For architectures that do not support CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, cputime_one_jiffy is the constant 1 and gcc is smart enough to optimise min(s32 percpu_counter_batch, INT_MAX) to just percpu_counter_batch at least on x86 and PowerPC. So there is no need to add an #ifdef. On a 64 thread PowerPC box with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled, a context switch microbenchmark is 234x faster and almost matches a CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled kernel: CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled: 16906698 ctx switches/sec CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled: 61720 ctx switches/sec CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT + patch: 16663217 ctx switches/sec Tested with: wget http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch.c make context_switch for i in `seq 0 63`; do taskset -c $i ./context_switch & done vmstat 1 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2010-02-05clocksource: add suspend callbackMagnus Damm
Add a clocksource suspend callback. This callback can be used by the clocksource driver to shutdown and perform any kind of late suspend activities even though the clocksource driver itself is a non-sysdev driver. One example where this is useful is to fix the sh_cmt.c platform driver that today suspends using the platform bus and shuts down the clocksource too early. With this callback in place the sh_cmt driver will suspend using the clocksource and clockevent hooks and leave the platform device pm callbacks unused.
