2013-08-13context_tracking: Remove full dynticks' hacky dependency on wide context ↵Frederic Weisbecker
tracking Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a more CPU-finegrained fashion. Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker
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.

2013-06-24build some drivers only when compile-testingJiri Slaby
Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to disable the drivers without patching the kernel. Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option. Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y. Now the drivers where we use this new option: * PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom processors so it should depend on x86. * FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32. * USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that method. * INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom device.

TINY_PREEMPT_RCU adds significant code and complexity, but does not offer commensurate benefits. People currently using TINY_PREEMPT_RCU can get much better memory footprint with TINY_RCU, or, if they really need preemptible RCU, they can use TREE_PREEMPT_RCU with a relatively minor degradation in memory footprint. Please note that this move has been widely publicized on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/545) and on LWN (http://lwn.net/Articles/541037/). This commit therefore removes TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.

While holding this lock, it did a rcu_read_unlock(). The perf_lock_task_context() basically looks like: rcu_read_lock(); raw_spin_lock(ctx->lock); rcu_read_unlock(); Now, what looks to have happened, is that we scheduled after taking that first rcu_read_lock() but before taking the spin lock. When we scheduled back in and took the ctx->lock, the following rcu_read_unlock() triggered the "special" code. The rcu_read_unlock_special() takes the rnp->lock, which gives us a possible deadlock scenario.

2013-05-28perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexingStephane Eranian
The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. 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.

However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's "select" instruction has no effect on such targets. Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we don't want instead.

Commit f91eb62f71b3 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are enabled too early") added three new warnings. The first two seemed reasonable, but the third included a warning when an initcall returned non-zero. Although, the third WARN() does include an imbalanced preempt disabled, or irqs disable, it shouldn't warn if it only had an initcall that just returns non-zero. In fact, according to Linus, it shouldn't print at all. As it only prints with initcall_debug set, and that already shows enough information to fix things.

2013-04-30init/Kconfig: re-order CONFIG_EXPERT options to fix menuconfig displayMike Frysinger
The kconfig language requires that dependent options all follow the menuconfig symbol in order to be collapsed below it. Recently some hidden options were added below the EXPERT menuconfig, but did not depend on EXPERT (because hidden options can't). This broke the display. So re-order all these options, and while we're here stick the PCI quirks under the EXPERT menu (since it isn't sitting with any related options). Before this commit, we get: [*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users) ---> [ ] Sysctl syscall support [*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops ... [ ] Embedded system Now we get the older (and correct) behavior: [*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users) ---> [ ] Embedded system And if you go into the expert menu you get the expert options: [ ] Sysctl syscall support [*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops ...

These are the only users of call_usermodehelper_fns(). This function suffers from not being able to determine if the cleanup is called. Even if in this places the cleanup pointer is NULL, convert them to use the separate call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec() functions so we can remove the _fns variant.

2013-04-29init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are enabled too earlySteven Rostedt
As I was testing a lot of my code recently, and having several "successes", I accidentally noticed in the dmesg this little line: start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled *very* early, fixing it Sure enough, one of my patches two commits ago enabled interrupts early. The sad part here is that I never noticed it, and I ran several tests with ktest too, and ktest did not notice this line. What ktest looks for (and so does many other automated testing scripts) is a back trace produced by a WARN_ON() or BUG(). As a back trace was never produced, my buggy patch could have slipped into linux-next, or even worse, mainline. Adding a WARN(!irqs_disabled()) makes this bug a little more obvious: PID hash table entries: 4096 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) __ex_table already sorted, skipping sort Checking aperture...

The original version of this patch just slapped a WARN_ON() in there and kept the printk(). Ard van Breemen suggested using the WARN() interface, which makes the code a bit cleaner.

2013-04-26nohz: Select VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN from full dynticks configFrederic Weisbecker
Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to an active one. The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout: the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order to make the full dynticks feature to be visible. We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target. Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is a "choice". So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction for each cputime accounting choices. v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU callbacks. Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs= The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be excluded from the nohz_full range.

2013-04-03nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMONFrederic Weisbecker
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout into a choice menu. 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.
