2014-05-14hotplug: Call cpu_unplug_begin() before DOWN_PREPAREYong Zhang
cpu_unplug_begin() should be called before CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, because at CPU_DOWN_PREPARE cpu_active is cleared and sched_domain is rebuilt. Otherwise the 'sync_unplug' thread will be running on the cpu on which it's created and not bound on the cpu which is about to go down.

2014-04-10cpu_down: move migrate_enable() backTiejun Chen
Commit 08c1ab68, "hotplug-use-migrate-disable.patch", intends to use migrate_enable()/migrate_disable() to replace that combination of preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), but actually in !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL case, migrate_enable()/migrate_disable() are still equal to preempt_enable()/preempt_disable(). So that followed cpu_hotplug_begin()/cpu_unplug_begin(cpu) would go schedule() to trigger schedule_debug() like this: _cpu_down() | + migrate_disable() = preempt_disable() | + cpu_hotplug_begin() or cpu_unplug_begin() | + schedule() | + __schedule() | + preempt_disable(); | + __schedule_bug() is true! So we should move migrate_enable() as the original scheme. Cc: stable-rt@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tiejun Chen <tiejun.chen@windriver.com>

2014-04-10kernel/cpu: fix cpu down problem if kthread's cpu is going downSebastian Andrzej Siewior
If kthread is pinned to CPUx and CPUx is going down then we get into trouble: - first the unplug thread is created - it will set itself to hp->unplug. As a result, every task that is going to take a lock, has to leave the CPU. - the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier are started. The worker thread will start a new process for the "high priority worker". Now kthread would like to take a lock but since it can't leave the CPU it will never complete its task. We could fire the unplug thread after the notifier but then the cpu is no longer marked "online" and the unplug thread will run on CPU0 which was fixed before :) So instead the unplug thread is started and kept waiting until the notfier complete their work.

2014-04-10cpu hotplug: Document why PREEMPT_RT uses a spinlockSteven Rostedt
The patch: cpu: Make hotplug.lock a "sleeping" spinlock on RT Tasks can block on hotplug.lock in pin_current_cpu(), but their state might be != RUNNING. So the mutex wakeup will set the state unconditionally to RUNNING. That might cause spurious unexpected wakeups. We could provide a state preserving mutex_lock() function, but this is semantically backwards. So instead we convert the hotplug.lock() to a spinlock for RT, which has the state preserving semantics already. Fixed a bug where the hotplug lock on PREEMPT_RT can be called after a task set its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and before it called schedule. If the hotplug_lock used a mutex, and there was contention, the current task's state would be turned to TASK_RUNNABLE and the schedule call will not sleep. This caused unexpected results. Although the patch had a description of the change, the code had no comments about it. This causes confusion to those that review the code, and as PREEMPT_RT is held in a quilt queue and not git, it's not as easy to see why a change was made. Even if it was in git, the code should still have a comment for something as subtle as this. Document the rational for using a spinlock on PREEMPT_RT in the hotplug lock code.

2014-04-10cpu/rt: Rework cpu down for PREEMPT_RTSteven Rostedt
Bringing a CPU down is a pain with the PREEMPT_RT kernel because tasks can be preempted in many more places than in non-RT. In order to handle per_cpu variables, tasks may be pinned to a CPU for a while, and even sleep. But these tasks need to be off the CPU if that CPU is going down. Several synchronization methods have been tried, but when stressed they failed. This is a new approach. A sync_tsk thread is still created and tasks may still block on a lock when the CPU is going down, but how that works is a bit different. When cpu_down() starts, it will create the sync_tsk and wait on it to inform that current tasks that are pinned on the CPU are no longer pinned. But new tasks that are about to be pinned will still be allowed to do so at this time. Then the notifiers are called. Several notifiers will bring down tasks that will enter these locations. Some of these tasks will take locks of other tasks that are on the CPU. If we don't let those other tasks continue, but make them block until CPU down is done, the tasks that the notifiers are waiting on will never complete as they are waiting for the locks held by the tasks that are blocked. Thus we still let the task pin the CPU until the notifiers are done. After the notifiers run, we then make new tasks entering the pinned CPU sections grab a mutex and wait. This mutex is now a per CPU mutex in the hotplug_pcp descriptor. To help things along, a new function in the scheduler code is created called migrate_me(). This function will try to migrate the current task off the CPU this is going down if possible. When the sync_tsk is created, all tasks will then try to migrate off the CPU going down. There are several cases that this wont work, but it helps in most cases. After the notifiers are called and if a task can't migrate off but enters the pin CPU sections, it will be forced to wait on the hotplug_pcp mutex until the CPU down is complete. Then the scheduler will force the migration anyway. Also, I found that THREAD_BOUND need to also be accounted for in the pinned CPU, and the migrate_disable no longer treats them special. This helps fix issues with ksoftirqd and workqueue that unbind on CPU down. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2013-08-13ACPI / processor: Acquire writer lock to update CPU mapsToshi Kani
CPU system maps are protected with reader/writer locks. The reader lock, get_online_cpus(), assures that the maps are not updated while holding the lock. The writer lock, cpu_hotplug_begin(), is used to udpate the cpu maps along with cpu_maps_update_begin(). However, the ACPI processor handler updates the cpu maps without holding the the writer lock. acpi_map_lsapic() is called from acpi_processor_hotadd_init() to update cpu_possible_mask and cpu_present_mask. acpi_unmap_lsapic() is called from acpi_processor_remove() to update cpu_possible_mask. Currently, they are either unprotected or protected with the reader lock, which is not correct. For example, the get_online_cpus() below is supposed to assure that cpu_possible_mask is not changed while the code is iterating with for_each_possible_cpu(). get_online_cpus(); for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { : } put_online_cpus(); However, this lock has no protection with CPU hotplug since the ACPI processor handler does not use the writer lock when it updates cpu_possible_mask. The reader lock does not serialize within the readers. This patch protects them with the writer lock with cpu_hotplug_begin() along with cpu_maps_update_begin(), which must be held before calling cpu_hotplug_begin(). It also protects arch_register_cpu() / arch_unregister_cpu(), which creates / deletes a sysfs cpu device interface. For this purpose it changes cpu_hotplug_begin() and cpu_hotplug_done() to global and exports them in cpu.h. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.

2012-10-09CPU hotplug, debug: detect imbalance between get_online_cpus() and ↵Srivatsa S. Bhat
put_online_cpus() The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock. get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus() decrements it. If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer. So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can continue to run. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

Provide a generic interface for setting up and tearing down percpu threads. On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped. During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes. Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself.

2012-08-01mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdatJiang Liu
When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

2012-06-01cpu: introduce clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() helperAnton Vorontsov
Many architectures clear tasks' mm_cpumask like this: read_lock(&tasklist_lock); for_each_process(p) { if (p->mm) cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(p->mm)); } read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); Depending on the context, the code above may have several problems, such as: 1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough). 2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a valid mm. This patch implements a small helper function that does things correctly, i.e.: 1. We take the task's lock while whe handle its mm (we can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep); 2. To catch exited main thread case, we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held). Also, Per Peter Zijlstra's idea, now we don't grab tasklist_lock in the new helper, instead we take the rcu read lock. We can do this because the function is called after the cpu is taken down and marked offline, so no new tasks will get this cpu set in their mm mask.

2012-05-03smp, idle: Allocate idle thread for each possible cpu during bootSuresh Siddha
percpu areas are already allocated during boot for each possible cpu. percpu idle threads can be considered as an extension of the percpu areas, and allocate them for each possible cpu during boot. This will eliminate the need for workqueue based idle thread allocation. In future we can move the idle thread area into the percpu area too.

2012-04-26smp: Provide generic idle thread allocationThomas Gleixner
All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic infrastructure for it. Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via __cpu_up(). Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

2011-11-04PM / Sleep: Fix race between CPU hotplug and freezerSrivatsa S. Bhat
The CPU hotplug notifications sent out by the _cpu_up() and _cpu_down() functions depend on the value of the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to them (which indicates whether tasks have been frozen or not). (Examples for such CPU hotplug notifications: CPU_ONLINE, CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN, CPU_DEAD, CPU_DEAD_FROZEN). Thus, it is essential that while the callbacks for those notifications are running, the state of the system with respect to the tasks being frozen or not remains unchanged, *throughout that duration*. Hence there is a need for synchronizing the CPU hotplug code with the freezer subsystem. Since the freezer is involved only in the Suspend/Hibernate call paths, this patch hooks the CPU hotplug code to the suspend/hibernate notifiers PM_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE]_PREPARE and PM_POST_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE] to prevent the race between CPU hotplug and freezer, thus ensuring that CPU hotplug notifications will always be run with the state of the system really being what the notifications indicate, _throughout_ their execution time.
