License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take their turn to get the lock. This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s After patch 3m03.0s 4m37.5s 1m43.0s 2m47.2s For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in performance.

That helps performance, especially in VMs with over-committed vCPUs. However, the current pvqspinlocks still don't perform as good as unfair locks in many cases. On the other hands, unfair locks do have the problem of lock starvation that pvqspinlocks don't have. This patch combines the best attributes of an unfair lock and a pvqspinlock into a hybrid lock with 2 modes - queued mode & unfair mode. A lock waiter goes into the unfair mode when there are waiters in the wait queue but the pending bit isn't set. Otherwise, it will go into the queued mode waiting in the queue for its turn. On a 2-socket 36-core E5-2699 v3 system (HT off), a kernel build (make -j<n>) was done in a VM with unpinned vCPUs 3 times with the best time selected and <n> is the number of vCPUs available. The build times of the original pvqspinlock, hybrid pvqspinlock and unfair lock with various number of vCPUs are as follows: vCPUs pvqlock hybrid pvqlock unfair lock ----- ------- -------------- ----------- 30 342.1s 329.1s 329.1s 36 314.1s 305.3s 307.3s 45 345.0s 302.1s 306.6s 54 365.4s 308.6s 307.8s 72 358.9s 293.6s 303.9s 108 343.0s 285.9s 304.2s The hybrid pvqspinlock performs better or comparable to the unfair lock. By turning on QUEUED_LOCK_STAT, the table below showed the number of lock acquisitions in unfair mode and queue mode after a kernel build with various number of vCPUs. vCPUs queued mode unfair mode ----- ----------- ----------- 30 9,130,518 294,954 36 10,856,614 386,809 45 8,467,264 11,475,373 54 6,409,987 19,670,855 72 4,782,063 25,712,180 It can be seen that as the VM became more and more over-committed, the ratio of locks acquired in unfair mode increases. This is all done automatically to get the best overall performance as possible. Using a kernel locking microbenchmark with number of locking threads equals to the number of vCPUs available on the same machine, the minimum, average and maximum (min/avg/max) numbers of locking operations done per thread in a 5-second testing interval are shown below: vCPUs hybrid pvqlock unfair lock ----- -------------- ----------- 36 822,135/881,063/950,363 75,570/313,496/ 690,465 54 542,435/581,664/625,937 35,460/204,280/ 457,172 72 397,500/428,177/499,299 17,933/150,679/ 708,001 108 257,898/288,150/340,871 3,085/181,176/1,257,109 It can be seen that the hybrid pvqspinlocks are more fair and performant than the unfair locks in this test. The table below shows the kernel build times on a smaller 2-socket 16-core 32-thread E5-2620 v4 system. vCPUs pvqlock hybrid pvqlock unfair lock ----- ------- -------------- ----------- 16 436.8s 433.4s 435.6s 36 366.2s 364.8s 364.5s 48 423.6s 376.3s 370.2s 64 433.1s 376.6s 376.8s Again, the performance of the hybrid pvqspinlock was comparable to that of the unfair lock.

On a 2-socket 36-core E5-2699 v3 system (HT off), a kernel build (make -j<n>) was done in a VM with unpinned vCPUs 3 times with the best time selected and <n> is the number of vCPUs available. The build times of the original pvqspinlock, hybrid pvqspinlock and unfair lock with various number of vCPUs are as follows: vCPUs pvqlock hybrid pvqlock unfair lock ----- ------- -------------- ----------- 30 342.1s 329.1s 329.1s 36 314.1s 305.3s 307.3s 45 345.0s 302.1s 306.6s 54 365.4s 308.6s 307.8s 72 358.9s 293.6s 303.9s 108 343.0s 285.9s 304.2s The hybrid pvqspinlock performs better or comparable to the unfair lock. By turning on QUEUED_LOCK_STAT, the table below showed the number of lock acquisitions in unfair mode and queue mode after a kernel build with various number of vCPUs. vCPUs queued mode unfair mode ----- ----------- ----------- 30 9,130,518 294,954 36 10,856,614 386,809 45 8,467,264 11,475,373 54 6,409,987 19,670,855 72 4,782,063 25,712,180 It can be seen that as the VM became more and more over-committed, the ratio of locks acquired in unfair mode increases. This is all done automatically to get the best overall performance as possible. Using a kernel locking microbenchmark with number of locking threads equals to the number of vCPUs available on the same machine, the minimum, average and maximum (min/avg/max) numbers of locking operations done per thread in a 5-second testing interval are shown below: vCPUs hybrid pvqlock unfair lock ----- -------------- ----------- 36 822,135/881,063/950,363 75,570/313,496/ 690,465 54 542,435/581,664/625,937 35,460/204,280/ 457,172 72 397,500/428,177/499,299 17,933/150,679/ 708,001 108 257,898/288,150/340,871 3,085/181,176/1,257,109 It can be seen that the hybrid pvqspinlocks are more fair and performant than the unfair locks in this test. The table below shows the kernel build times on a smaller 2-socket 16-core 32-thread E5-2620 v4 system. vCPUs pvqlock hybrid pvqlock unfair lock ----- ------- -------------- ----------- 16 436.8s 433.4s 435.6s 36 366.2s 364.8s 364.5s 48 423.6s 376.3s 370.2s 64 433.1s 376.6s 376.8s Again, the performance of the hybrid pvqspinlock was comparable to that of the unfair lock.

* When that bit becomes visible to the incoming waiters, no lock stealing

* as the queued mode vCPUs are actively running to set the pending bit
* and hence disabling lock stealing.

* This hybrid PV queued/unfair lock combines the best attributes of a

* on not heavily contended locks).
locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock. The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock() as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs.

locking/pvqspinlock: Implement hybrid PV queued/unfair locks Currently, all the lock waiters entering the slowpath will do one lock stealing attempt to acquire the lock.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency.

It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed.

locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take their turn to get the lock. This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s After patch 3m03.0s 4m37.5s 1m43.0s 2m47.2s For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in performance.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.

locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock. The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock() as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m15.6s 10m56.1s 1m44.1s 5m29.1s After patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock.

This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.

locking/pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for paravirt along with a special unlock path. The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version. The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups. The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.

locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take their turn to get the lock. This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s After patch 3m03.0s 4m37.5s 1m43.0s 2m47.2s For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8% performance improvement.

locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock. The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock() as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs.

locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock. The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock() as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m15.6s 10m56.1s 1m44.1s 5m29.1s After patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.

locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock. The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock() as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m15.6s 10m56.1s 1m44.1s 5m29.1s After patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.

locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests. For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock() function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from __pv_queued_spin_unlock(). This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by: 1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath as simple as possible.. 2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C __pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores only one 32-bit register.

The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests. For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock() function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from __pv_queued_spin_unlock(). This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by: 1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath as simple as possible.. 2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C __pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores only one 32-bit register.

locking/pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for paravirt along with a special unlock path. The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version. The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
