2011-11-14sched: Set the command name of the idle tasks in SMP kernelsCarsten Emde
In UP systems, the idle task is initialized using the init_task structure from which the command name is taken (currently "swapper"). In SMP systems, one idle task per CPU is forked by the worker thread from which the task structure is copied. The command name is, therefore, "kworker/0:0" or "kworker/0:1", if not updated. Since such update was lacking, all idle tasks in SMP systems were incorrectly named. This longtime bug was not discovered immediately, because there is no /proc/0 entry - the bug only becomes apparent when tracing is enabled. This patch sets the command name of the idle tasks in SMP systems to the name that is used in the INIT_TASK structure suffixed by a slash and the number of the CPU.

2011-10-06sched: Request for idle balance during nohz idle load balanceSuresh Siddha
rq's idle_at_tick is set to idle/busy during the timer tick depending on the cpu was idle or not. This will be used later in the load balance that will be done in the softirq context (which is a process context in -RT kernels). For nohz kernels, for the cpu doing nohz idle load balance on behalf of all the idle cpu's, its rq->idle_at_tick might have a stale value (which is recorded when it got the timer tick presumably when it is busy). As the nohz idle load balancing is also being done at the same place as the regular load balancing, nohz idle load balancing was bailing out when it sees rq's idle_at_tick not set. Thus leading to poor system utilization. Rename rq's idle_at_tick to idle_balance and set it when someone requests for nohz idle balance on an idle cpu.

2011-10-06sched: Use resched IPI to kick off the nohz idle balanceSuresh Siddha
Current use of smp call function to kick the nohz idle balance can deadlock in this scenario. 1. cpu-A did a generic_exec_single() to cpu-B and after queuing its call single data (csd) to the call single queue, cpu-A took a timer interrupt. Actual IPI to cpu-B to process the call single queue is not yet sent. 2. As part of the timer interrupt handler, cpu-A decided to kick cpu-B for the idle load balancing (sets cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick to 1) and __smp_call_function_single() with nowait will queue the csd to the cpu-B's queue. But the generic_exec_single() won't send an IPI to cpu-B as the call single queue was not empty. 3. cpu-A is busy with lot of interrupts 4. Meanwhile cpu-B is entering and exiting idle and noticed that it has it's rq->nohz_balance_kick set to '1'. So it will go ahead and do the idle load balancer and clear its rq->nohz_balance_kick. 5. At this point, csd queued as part of the step-2 above is still locked and waiting to be serviced on cpu-B. 6. cpu-A is still busy with interrupt load and now it got another timer interrupt and as part of it decided to kick cpu-B for another idle load balancing (as it finds cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick cleared in step-4 above) and does __smp_call_function_single() with the same csd that is still locked. 7. And we get a deadlock waiting for the csd_lock() in the __smp_call_function_single(). Main issue here is that cpu-B can service the idle load balancer kick request from cpu-A even with out receiving the IPI and this lead to doing multiple __smp_call_function_single() on the same csd leading to deadlock. To kick a cpu, scheduler already has the reschedule vector reserved. Use that mechanism (kick_process()) instead of using the generic smp call function mechanism to kick off the nohz idle load balancing and avoid the deadlock. [ This issue is present from 2.6.35+ kernels, but marking it -stable only from v3.0+ as the proposed fix depends on the scheduler_ipi() that is introduced recently. ] Reported-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # v3.0+ Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111003220934.834943260@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-10-04sched: Fix idle_cpu()Thomas Gleixner
On -rt we observed hackbench waking all 400 tasks to a single cpu. This is because of select_idle_sibling()'s interaction with the new ipi based wakeup scheme. The existing idle_cpu() test only checks to see if the current task on that cpu is the idle task, it does not take already queued tasks into account, nor does it take queued to be woken tasks into account. If the remote wakeup IPIs come hard enough, there won't be time to schedule away from the idle task, and would thus keep thinking the cpu was in fact idle, regardless of the fact that there were already several hundred tasks runnable. We couldn't reproduce on mainline, but there's no reason it couldn't happen.

2011-09-30posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobblesPeter Zijlstra
David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries). For example: [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404) thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739) self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698) [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'. I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements are the outer-most ones. --- #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> static pthread_barrier_t barrier; static void *chew_cpu(void *arg) { pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); while (1) __asm__ __volatile__("" : : : "memory"); return NULL; } int main(void) { clockid_t process_clock, my_thread_clock, th_clock; struct timespec process_before, process_after; struct timespec me_before, me_after; struct timespec th_before, th_after; struct timespec sleeptime; unsigned long diff; pthread_t th; int err; err = clock_getcpuclockid(0, &process_clock); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_self(), &my_thread_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_init(&barrier, NULL, 2); err = pthread_create(&th, NULL, chew_cpu, NULL); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(th, &th_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_before); if (err) return 1; sleeptime.tv_sec = 0; sleeptime.tv_nsec = 500000000; nanosleep(&sleeptime, NULL); err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_after); if (err) return 1; diff = process_after.tv_nsec - process_before.tv_nsec; printf("process: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", process_before.tv_sec, process_before.tv_nsec, process_after.tv_sec, process_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = th_after.tv_nsec - th_before.tv_nsec; printf("thread: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", th_before.tv_sec, th_before.tv_nsec, th_after.tv_sec, th_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = me_after.tv_nsec - me_before.tv_nsec; printf("self: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", me_before.tv_sec, me_before.tv_nsec, me_after.tv_sec, me_after.tv_nsec, diff); return 0; } This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

2011-09-29rcu: Restore checks for blocking in RCU read-side critical sectionsPaul E. McKenney
Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical section. However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats this diagnostic. This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic based on PROVE_RCU. Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious. This third argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert(). Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third argument. Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section. These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled. Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c. Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics. But you are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you? Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2011-08-29perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch codeStephane Eranian
The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a simple ping/pong example: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10684.51 ctxsw/s Now start a cgroup perf stat: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 6674.61 ctxsw/s That's a 37% penalty. Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup. The results shown by perf stat are bogus: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock (here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups. The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are in the same cgroup. With this patch the same test now yields: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10775.30 ctxsw/s Start perf stat with cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Run pong outside the cgroup: $ /pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10687.80 ctxsw/s The penalty is now less than 2%. And the results for perf stat are correct: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz Now perf stat reports the correct counts for for the non cgroup event.

2011-08-29sched: Move blk_schedule_flush_plug() out of __schedule()Thomas Gleixner
There is no real reason to run blk_schedule_flush_plug() with interrupts and preemption disabled. Move it into schedule() and call it when the task is going voluntarily to sleep. There might be false positives when the task is woken between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really different from being woken immediately after switching away. This fixes a deadlock in the scheduler where the blk_schedule_flush_plug() callchain enables interrupts and thereby allows a wakeup to happen of the task that's going to sleep.

2011-08-14sched: Return unused runtime on group dequeuePaul Turner
When a local cfs_rq blocks we return the majority of its remaining quota to the global bandwidth pool for use by other runqueues. We do this only when the quota is current and there is more than min_cfs_rq_quota [1ms by default] of runtime remaining on the rq. In the case where there are throttled runqueues and we have sufficient bandwidth to meter out a slice, a second timer is kicked off to handle this delivery, unthrottling where appropriate. Using a 'worst case' antagonist which executes on each cpu for 1ms before moving onto the next on a fairly large machine: no quota generations: 197.47 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 199.46 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 205.46 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 198.46 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 208.39 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage Since we are allowed to use "stale" quota our usage is effectively bounded by the rate of input into the global pool and performance is relatively stable. with quota generations [1s increments]: 119.58 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 119.65 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 119.64 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 119.63 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 119.60 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage The large deficit here is due to quota generations (/intentionally/) preventing us from now using previously stranded slack quota. The cost is that this quota becomes unavailable. with quota generations and quota return: 200.09 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 200.09 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 198.09 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 200.09 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage 200.06 ms /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage By returning unused quota we're able to both stably consume our desired quota and prevent unintentional overages due to the abuse of slack quota from previous quota periods (especially on a large machine).

2011-08-14sched: Prevent interactions with throttled entitiesPaul Turner
From the perspective of load-balance and shares distribution, throttled entities should be invisible. However, both of these operations work on 'active' lists and are not inherently aware of what group hierarchies may be present. In some cases this may be side-stepped (e.g. we could sideload via tg_load_down in load balance) while in others (e.g. update_shares()) it is more difficult to compute without incurring some O(n^2) costs. Instead, track hierarchicaal throttled state at time of transition. This allows us to easily identify whether an entity belongs to a throttled hierarchy and avoid incorrect interactions with it. Also, when an entity leaves a throttled hierarchy we need to advance its time averaging for shares averaging so that the elapsed throttled time is not considered as part of the cfs_rq's operation. We also use this information to prevent buddy interactions in the wakeup and yield_to() paths.

2011-08-14sched: Expire invalid runtimePaul Turner
Since quota is managed using a global state but consumed on a per-cpu basis we need to ensure that our per-cpu state is appropriately synchronized. Most importantly, runtime that is state (from a previous period) should not be locally consumable. We take advantage of existing sched_clock synchronization about the jiffy to efficiently detect whether we have (globally) crossed a quota boundary above. One catch is that the direction of spread on sched_clock is undefined, specifically, we don't know whether our local clock is behind or ahead of the one responsible for the current expiration time. Fortunately we can differentiate these by considering whether the global deadline has advanced. If it has not, then we assume our clock to be "fast" and advance our local expiration; otherwise, we know the deadline has truly passed and we expire our local runtime.

2011-08-14sched: Implement hierarchical task accounting for SCHED_OTHERPaul Turner
Introduce hierarchical task accounting for the group scheduling case in CFS, as well as promoting the responsibility for maintaining rq->nr_running to the scheduling classes. The primary motivation for this is that with scheduling classes supporting bandwidth throttling it is possible for entities participating in throttled sub-trees to not have root visible changes in rq->nr_running across activate and de-activate operations. This in turn leads to incorrect idle and weight-per-task load balance decisions. This also allows us to make a small fixlet to the fastpath in pick_next_task() under group scheduling.

2011-07-21sched: Do not attempt to destroy uninitialized rt_bandwidthBianca Lutz
If a task group is to be created and alloc_fair_sched_group() fails, then the rt_bandwidth of the corresponding task group is not yet initialized. The caller, sched_create_group(), starts a clean up procedure which calls free_rt_sched_group() which unconditionally destroys the not yet initialized rt_bandwidth. This crashes or hangs the system in lock_hrtimer_base(): UP systems dereference a NULL pointer, while SMP systems loop endlessly on a condition that cannot become true. This patch simply avoids the destruction of rt_bandwidth when the initialization code path was not reached. (This was discovered by accident with a custom kernel modification.)
