git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This contains two fixes. The first is a long standing bug that causes bogus data to show up in the refcnt field of the module_refcnt tracepoint. It was introduced by a merge conflict resolution back in 2.6.35-rc days. The result should be 'refcnt = incs - decs', but instead it did 'refcnt = incs + decs'. The second fix is to a bug that was introduced in this merge window that allowed for a tracepoint funcs pointer to be used after it was freed. Moving the location of where the probes are released solved the problem" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.15-rc4-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free trace: module: Maintain a valid user count
2014-05-08tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu freeMathieu Desnoyers
Commit de7b2973903c "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a "use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in stress-tests.

2014-05-08sched/idle: Delay clearing the polling bitPeter Zijlstra
With the generic idle functions assuming !polling we should only clear the polling bit at the very last opportunity in order to avoid spurious IPIs. Ideally we'd flip the default to polling, but that means auditing all arch idle functions.

2014-05-08sched/idle: Avoid spurious wakeup IPIsPeter Zijlstra
Because mwait_idle_with_hints() gets called from !idle context it must call current_clr_polling(). This however means that resched_task() is very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling: CPU0 CPU1 if (current_set_polling_and_test()) goto out; __monitor(&ti->flags); if (!need_resched()) __mwait(eax, ecx); set_tsk_need_resched(p); smp_mb(); out: current_clr_polling(); if (!tsk_is_polling(p)) smp_send_reschedule(cpu); So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some). Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set. Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word, contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly succeed in a single go.

2014-05-07sched/fair: Stop searching for tasks in newidle balance if there are ↵Jason Low
runnable tasks It was found that when running some workloads (such as AIM7) on large systems with many cores, CPUs do not remain idle for long. Thus, tasks can wake/get enqueued while doing idle balancing. In this patch, while traversing the domains in idle balance, in addition to checking for pulled_task, we add an extra check for this_rq->nr_running for determining if we should stop searching for tasks to pull. If there are runnable tasks on this rq, then we will stop traversing the domains. This reduces the chance that idle balance delays a task from running. This patch resulted in approximately a 6% performance improvement when running a Java Server workload on an 8 socket machine.

2014-05-07sched: Add a new SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN for sched_domainVincent Guittot
A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is created to reflect whether groups of CPUs in a sched_domain level can or not reach different power state. As an example, the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated independently. This information can be used in the load balance decision or to add load balancing level between group of CPUs that can power gate independantly. This flag is part of the topology flags that can be set by arch.

2014-05-07sched: Rework sched_domain topology definitionVincent Guittot
We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed). We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags configuration of some levels. For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu, a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology flags are: SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES SD_NUMA SD_ASYM_PACKING Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for load balancing than its children.

2014-05-07sched/numa: Do not set preferred_node on migration to a second choice nodeRik van Riel
Setting the numa_preferred_node for a task in task_numa_migrate does nothing on a 2-node system. Either we migrate to the node that already was our preferred node, or we stay where we were. On a 4-node system, it can slightly decrease overhead, by not calling the NUMA code as much. Since every node tends to be directly connected to every other node, running on the wrong node for a while does not do much damage. However, on an 8 node system, there are far more bad nodes than there are good ones, and pretending that a second choice is actually the preferred node can greatly delay, or even prevent, a workload from converging. The only time we can safely pretend that a second choice node is the preferred node is when the task is part of a workload that spans multiple NUMA nodes.

2014-05-07sched/numa: Count pages on active node as localRik van Riel
The NUMA code is smart enough to distribute the memory of workloads that span multiple NUMA nodes across those NUMA nodes. However, it still has a pretty high scan rate for such workloads, because any memory that is left on a node other than the node of the CPU that faulted on the memory is counted as non-local, which causes the scan rate to go up. Counting the memory on any node where the task's numa group is actively running as local, allows the scan rate to slow down once the application is settled in. This should reduce the overhead of the automatic NUMA placement code, when a workload spans multiple NUMA nodes.

2014-05-07sched: Skip double execution of pick_next_task_fair()Peter Zijlstra
Tim wrote: "The current code will call pick_next_task_fair a second time in the slow path if we did not pull any task in our first try. This is really unnecessary as we already know no task can be pulled and it doubles the delay for the cpu to enter idle. We instrumented some network workloads and that saw that pick_next_task_fair is frequently called twice before a cpu enters idle. The call to pick_next_task_fair can add non trivial latency as it calls load_balance which runs find_busiest_group on an hierarchy of sched domains spanning the cpus for a large system. For some 4 socket systems, we saw almost 0.25 msec spent per call of pick_next_task_fair before a cpu can be idled." Optimize the second call away for the common case and document the dependency.

2014-05-07sched/deadline: Fix sched_yield() behaviorJuri Lelli
yield_task_dl() is broken: o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero; o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer() will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time. Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning: if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new) goto unlock; So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually yielded forever. To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between "good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled) and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be stopped.

2014-05-07sched: Sanitize irq accounting madnessThomas Gleixner
Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to: for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++) irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq); It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cefa ("sched: Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat") So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at once. As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does not make sense at all for fine grained accounting.

2014-05-07perf: Fix race in removing an eventPeter Zijlstra
When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); <hole> perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another patch.

On architectures with sizeof(int) < sizeof (long), the computation of mask inside apply_slack() can be undefined if the computed bit is > 32. E.g. with: expires = 0xffffe6f5 and slack = 25, we get: expires_limit = 0x20000000e bit = 33 mask = (1 << 33) - 1 /* undefined */ On x86, mask becomes 1 and and the slack is not applied properly. On s390, mask is -1, expires is set to 0 and the timer fires immediately. Use 1UL << bit to solve that issue.

2014-04-30hrtimer: Prevent remote enqueue of leftmost timersLeon Ma
If a cpu is idle and starts an hrtimer which is not pinned on that same cpu, the nohz code might target the timer to a different cpu. In the case that we switch the cpu base of the timer we already have a sanity check in place, which determines whether the timer is earlier than the current leftmost timer on the target cpu. In that case we enqueue the timer on the current cpu because we cannot reprogram the clock event device on the target. If the timers base is already the target CPU we do not have this sanity check in place so we enqueue the timer as the leftmost timer in the target cpus rb tree, but we cannot reprogram the clock event device on the target cpu. So the timer expires late and subsequently prevents the reprogramming of the target cpu clock event device until the previously programmed event fires or a timer with an earlier expiry time gets enqueued on the target cpu itself. Add the same target check as we have for the switch base case and start the timer on the current cpu if it would become the leftmost timer on the target.

2014-04-30hrtimer: Prevent all reprogramming if hang detectedStuart Hayes
If the last hrtimer interrupt detected a hang it sets hang_detected=1 and programs the clock event device with a delay to let the system make progress. If hang_detected == 1, we prevent reprogramming of the clock event device in hrtimer_reprogram() but not in hrtimer_force_reprogram(). This can lead to the following situation: hrtimer_interrupt() hang_detected = 1; program ce device to Xms from now (hang delay) We have two timers pending: T1 expires 50ms from now T2 expires 5s from now Now T1 gets canceled, which causes hrtimer_force_reprogram() to be invoked, which in turn programs the clock event device to T2 (5 seconds from now). Any hrtimer_start after that will not reprogram the hardware due to hang_detected still being set. So we effectivly block all timers until the T2 event fires and cleans up the hang situation. Add a check for hang_detected to hrtimer_force_reprogram() which prevents the reprogramming of the hang delay in the hardware timer. The subsequent hrtimer_interrupt will resolve all outstanding issues.

2014-04-29rcu: Make large and small sysidle systems use same state machinePaul E. McKenney
Currently, small systems move back into RCU_SYSIDLE_NOT from RCU_SYSIDLE_SHORT and large systems do not. This works because moving aggressively to RCU_SYSIDLE_NOT affects only performance, not correctness, and on small systems, the performance impact should be negligible. That said, this difference does make RCU a bit more complex, and RCU does not seem to be suffering from any lack of complexity. This commit therefore adjusts small-system operation to match that of large systems, so that the state never moves back to RCU_SYSIDLE_NOT from RCU_SYSIDLE_SHORT.

Currently, RCU binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU only if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y. This means that these kthreads must be bound manually when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n and CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y: Otherwise, these kthreads will induce OS jitter on random CPUs. Given that we are trying to reduce the amount of manual tweaking required to make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y work nicely, this commit makes this binding happen when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, even in cases where CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n.
