Restrict the preempt disabled regions to the actual floating point
operations and enable preemption for the administrative actions.
This is necessary on RT to avoid that kfree and other operations are
called with preemption disabled.

Current sysv sems have a weird ass wakeup scheme that involves keeping
preemption disabled over a potential O(n^2) loop and busy waiting on
that on other CPUs.
Kill this and simply wake the task directly from under the sem_lock.
This was discovered by a migrate_disable() debug feature that
disallows:
spin_lock();
preempt_disable();
spin_unlock()
preempt_enable();

In fact, with migrate_disable() existing one could play games with
kmap_atomic. You could save/restore the kmap_atomic slots on context
switch (if there are any in use of course), this should be esp easy now
that we have a kmap_atomic stack.
Something like the below.. it wants replacing all the preempt_disable()
stuff with pagefault_disable() && migrate_disable() of course, but then
you can flip kmaps around like below.

Add a /sys/kernel entry to indicate that the kernel is a
realtime kernel.
Clark says that he needs this for udev rules, udev needs to evaluate
if its a PREEMPT_RT kernel a few thousand times and parsing uname
output is too slow or so.
Are there better solutions? Should it exist and return 0 on !-rt?

To work around this in the short term you can use this patch, in
addition to the clocksource watchdog patch that Thomas brewed up.
Comments are welcome of course. Ultimately the right solution is to
change separation between the console and the HW to have a polled mode
+ work queue so as not to introduce any kind of latency.
Thanks,

There are (probably rare) situations when a system crashed and the system
console becomes unresponsive but the network icmp layer still is alive.
Wouldn't it be wonderful, if we then could submit a sysreq command via ping?
This patch provides this facility. Please consult the updated documentation
Documentation/sysrq.txt for details.

qdisc_lock is taken w/o disabling interrupts or bottom halfs. So code
holding a qdisc_lock() can be interrupted and softirqs can run on the
return of interrupt in !RT.
The spin_trylock() in net_tx_action() makes sure, that the softirq
does not deadlock. When the lock can't be acquired q is requeued and
the NET_TX softirq is raised. That causes the softirq to run over and
over.
That works in mainline as do_softirq() has a retry loop limit and
leaves the softirq processing in the interrupt return path and
schedules ksoftirqd. The task which holds qdisc_lock cannot be
preempted, so the lock is released and either ksoftirqd or the next
softirq in the return from interrupt path can proceed. Though it's a
bit strange to actually run MAX_SOFTIRQ_RESTART (10) loops before it
decides to bail out even if it's clear in the first iteration :)
On RT all softirq processing is done in a FIFO thread and we don't
have a loop limit, so ksoftirqd preempts the lock holder forever and
unqueues and requeues until the reset button is hit.
Due to the forced threading of ksoftirqd on RT we actually cannot
deadlock on qdisc_lock because it's a "sleeping lock". So it's safe to
replace the spin_trylock() with a spin_lock(). When contended,
ksoftirqd is scheduled out and the lock holder can proceed.

Mostly unwind is done with irqs enabled however SLUB may call it with

I had system freeze while loading a module which called
kmem_cache_create() on init. That means SLUB's __slab_alloc() disabled
interrupts and then

irq_work is processed in softirq context on -RT because we want to avoid
long latencies which might arise from processing lots of perf events.
The noHZ-full mode requires its callback to be called from real hardirq
context (commit 76c24fb ("nohz: New APIs to re-evaluate the tick on full
dynticks CPUs")). If it is called from a thread context we might get
wrong results for checks like "is_idle_task(current)".
This patch introduces a second list (hirq_work_list) which will be used
if irq_work_run() has been invoked from hardirq context and process only
work items marked with IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ.
This patch also removes arch_irq_work_raise() from sparc & powerpc like
it is already done for x86. Atleast for powerpc it is somehow
superfluous because it is called from the timer interrupt which should
invoke update_process_times().

The worker accounting for cpu bound workers is plugged into the core
scheduler code and the wakeup code. This is not a hard requirement and
can be avoided by keeping track of the state in the workqueue code
itself.
Keep track of the sleeping state in the worker itself and call the
notifier before entering the core scheduler. There might be false
positives when the task is woken between that call and actually
scheduling, but that's not really different from scheduling and being
woken immediately after switching away. There is also no harm from
updating nr_running when the task returns from scheduling instead of
accounting it in the wakeup code.

There is no need for sched_rcu. The undocumented reason why sched_rcu
is used is to avoid a few explicit rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pairs by
abusing the fact that sched_rcu reader side critical sections are also
protected by preempt or irq disabled regions.

We hit another bug that was caused by switching cpu_chill() from
msleep() to hrtimer_nanosleep().
This time it is a livelock. The problem is that hrtimer_nanosleep()
calls schedule with the state == TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. But these means
that if a signal is pending, the scheduler wont schedule, and will
simply change the current task state back to TASK_RUNNING. This
nullifies the whole point of cpu_chill() in the first place. That is,
if a task is spinning on a try_lock() and it preempted the owner of the
lock, if it has a signal pending, it will never give up the CPU to let
the owner of the lock run.
I made a static function __hrtimer_nanosleep() that takes a fifth
parameter "state", which determines the task state of that the
nanosleep() will be in. The normal hrtimer_nanosleep() will act the
same, but cpu_chill() will call the __hrtimer_nanosleep() directly with
the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state.
cpu_chill() only cares that the first sleep happens, and does not care
about the state of the restart schedule (in hrtimer_nanosleep_restart).

Ulrich Obergfell pointed out that cpu_chill() calls msleep() which is woken
up by the ksoftirqd running the TIMER softirq. But as the cpu_chill() is
called from softirq context, it may block the ksoftirqd() from running, in
which case, it may never wake up the msleep() causing the deadlock.
I checked the vmcore, and irq/74-qla2xxx is stuck in the msleep() call,
running on CPU 8. The one ksoftirqd that is stuck, happens to be the one that
runs on CPU 8, and it is blocked on a lock held by irq/74-qla2xxx. As that
ksoftirqd is the one that will wake up irq/74-qla2xxx, and it happens to be
blocked on a lock that irq/74-qla2xxx holds, we have our deadlock.
The solution is not to convert the cpu_chill() back to a cpu_relax() as that
will re-create a possible live lock that the cpu_chill() fixed earlier, and may
also leave this bug open on other softirqs. The fix is to remove the
dependency on ksoftirqd from cpu_chill(). That is, instead of calling
msleep() that requires ksoftirqd to wake it up, use the
hrtimer_nanosleep() code that does the wakeup from hard irq context.
|Looks to be the lock of the block softirq. I don't have the core dump

|(called by the qla2xxx interrupt handler).
|
|Looking at trigger_softirq() in block/blk-softirq.c, it can do a

|because the ksoftirqd will never run the timer softirq either.
|I should have also stated that it was only one lock that was involved.
|But the lock owner was doing a msleep() that requires a wakeup by

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill()
defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to
sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress.

CPU bringup calls into the random pool to initialize the stack
canary. During boot that works nicely even on RT as the might sleep
checks are disabled. During CPU hotplug the might sleep checks
trigger. Making the locks in random raw is a major PITA, so avoid the
call on RT is the only sensible solution. This is basically the same
randomness which we get during boot where the random pool has no
entropy and we rely on the TSC randomnness.

We had a customer report a lockup on a 3.0-rt kernel that had the
following backtrace:
[ffff88107fca3e80] rt_spin_lock_slowlock at ffffffff81499113
[ffff88107fca3f40] rt_spin_lock at ffffffff81499a56
[ffff88107fca3f50] __wake_up at ffffffff81043379
[ffff88107fca3f80] mce_notify_irq at ffffffff81017328
[ffff88107fca3f90] intel_threshold_interrupt at ffffffff81019508
[ffff88107fca3fa0] smp_threshold_interrupt at ffffffff81019fc1
[ffff88107fca3fb0] threshold_interrupt at ffffffff814a1853
It actually bugged because the lock was taken by the same owner that
already had that lock. What happened was the thread that was setting
itself on a wait queue had the lock when an MCE triggered. The MCE
interrupt does a wake up on its wait list and grabs the same lock.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BUG ON MAINLINE
Sorry for yelling, but as I Cc'd mainline maintainers I want them to
know that this is an PREEMPT_RT bug only. I only Cc'd them for advice.
On PREEMPT_RT the wait queue locks are converted from normal
"spin_locks" into an rt_mutex (see the rt_spin_lock_slowlock above).
These are not to be taken by hard interrupt context. This usually isn't
a problem as most all interrupts in PREEMPT_RT are converted into
schedulable threads. Unfortunately that's not the case with the MCE irq.
As wait queue locks are notorious for long hold times, we can not
convert them to raw_spin_locks without causing issues with -rt. But
Thomas has created a "simple-wait" structure that uses raw spin locks
which may have been a good fit.
Unfortunately, wait queues are not the only issue, as the mce_notify_irq
also does a schedule_work(), which grabs the workqueue spin locks that
have the exact same issue.
Thus, this patch I'm proposing is to move the actual work of the MCE
interrupt into a helper thread that gets woken up on the MCE interrupt
and does the work in a schedulable context.
NOTE: THIS PATCH ONLY CHANGES THE BEHAVIOR WHEN PREEMPT_RT IS SET
Oops, sorry for yelling again, but I want to stress that I keep the same
behavior of mainline when PREEMPT_RT is not set. Thus, this only changes
the MCE behavior when PREEMPT_RT is configured.

Seems mce timer fire at the wrong frequency in -rt kernels since roughly
forever due to 32 bit overflow. 3.8-rt is also missing a multiplier.
Add missing us -> ns conversion and 32 bit overflow prevention.

mce_timer is started in atomic contexts of cpu bringup. This results
in might_sleep() warnings on RT. Convert mce_timer to a hrtimer to
avoid this.

One of the requirements is that the lock has to fit in an u32 which does
not work with the sleeping locks. We would have to use the bare raw
locks for this and I would like to avoid this.

Two cps in parallel managed to stall the the ext4 fs. It seems that
journal code is either waiting for locks or sleeping waiting for
something to happen. This seems similar to what Mike observed on ext3,
here is his description:
|With an -rt kernel, and a heavy sync IO load, tasks can jam
|up on journal locks without unplugging, which can lead to
|terminal IO starvation. Unplug and schedule when waiting

Hm. Looking at the change to mm/bounce.c, perhaps I should do this

The reason is that ARM need irq enabled when doing activate_mm().
According to mm-protect-activate-switch-mm.patch, actually
preempt_[disable|enable]_rt() is sufficient.
