Pull RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:
- Expedited grace-period changes, most notably avoiding having
user threads drive expedited grace periods, using a workqueue
instead.
- Miscellaneous fixes, including a performance fix for lists
that was sent with the lists modifications (second URL below).
- CPU hotplug updates, most notably providing exact CPU-online
tracking for RCU. This will in turn allow removal of the
checks supporting RCU's prior heuristic that was based on the
assumption that CPUs would take no longer than one jiffy to
come online.
- Torture-test updates.
- Documentation updates.

Modify the schedutil cpufreq governor to boost the CPU
frequency if the SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag is passed to
it via cpufreq_update_util().
If that happens, the frequency is set to the maximum during
the first update after receiving the SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag
and then the boost is reduced by half during each following update.

Testing indicates that it is possible to improve performace
significantly without increasing energy consumption too much by
teaching cpufreq governors to bump up the CPU performance level if
the in_iowait flag is set for the task in enqueue_task_fair().
For this purpose, define a new cpufreq_update_util() flag
SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT and modify enqueue_task_fair() to pass that
flag to cpufreq_update_util() in the in_iowait case. That generally
requires cpufreq_update_util() to be called directly from there,
because update_load_avg() may not be invoked in that case.

The dl task will be replenished after dl task timer fire and start a
new period. It will be enqueued and to re-evaluate its dependency on
the tick in order to restart it. However, if the CPU is hot-unplugged,
irq_work_queue will splash since the target CPU is offline.
As a result we get:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/irq_work.c:69 irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0x99/0xd0

? push_dl_task.part.31+0x190/0x190
This can be triggered by hot-unplugging the full dynticks CPU which dl
task is running on.
We enqueue the dl task on the offline CPU, because we need to do
replenish for start_dl_timer(). So, as Juri pointed out, we would
need to do is calling replenish_dl_entity() directly, instead of
enqueue_task_dl(). pi_se shouldn't be a problem as the task shouldn't
be boosted if it was throttled.
This patch fixes it by avoiding the whole enqueue+dequeue+enqueue story, by
first migrating (set_task_cpu()) and then doing 1 enqueue.

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and
the check for task->on_rq.
The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:
do {
schedule()
set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
} while (!cond);
The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax();
Analysis:
The instance I've seen involves the following race:
CPU1 CPU2
while () {
if (cond)
break;
do {
schedule();
set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
} while (!cond);
wakeup_routine()
spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process()
} try_to_wake_up()
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); ..
list_del(&waiter.list);
CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:
CPU3
wakeup_routine()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
if (!list_empty)
wake_up_process()
try_to_wake_up()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock)
..
if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup())
..
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax()
..
CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.
CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.
The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely
Reproduction of the issue:
The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.
Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

PELT does not consider SMT when scaling its utilization values via
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(). The value in rq->cpu_capacity_orig does
take SMT into consideration though and therefore may be smaller than
the utilization reported by PELT.
On an Intel i7-3630QM for example rq->cpu_capacity_orig is 589 but
util_avg scales up to 1024. This means that a 50% utilized CPU will show
up in schedutil as ~86% busy.
Fix this by using the same CPU scaling value in schedutil as that which
is used by PELT.

Both timers and hrtimers are maintained on the outgoing CPU until
CPU_DEAD time, at which point they are migrated to a surviving CPU. If a
mod_timer() executes between CPU_DYING and CPU_DEAD time, x86 systems
will splat in native_smp_send_reschedule() when attempting to wake up
the just-now-offlined CPU, as shown below from a NO_HZ_FULL kernel:

However, in this case, the wakeup is redundant, because the timer
migration will reprogram timer hardware as needed. Note that the fact
that preemption is disabled does not avoid the splat, as the offline
operation has already passed both the synchronize_sched() and the
stop_machine() that would be blocked by disabled preemption.
This commit therefore modifies wake_up_nohz_cpu() to avoid attempting
to wake up offline CPUs. It also adds a comment stating that the
caller must tolerate lost wakeups when the target CPU is going offline,
and suggesting the CPU_DEAD notifier as a recovery mechanism.

Commit:
d670ec1317 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles")
started accounting thread group tasks pending runtime in thread_group_cputime().
Another commit:
6e998916df ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")
updated scheduler runtime statistics (call update_curr()) when reading task pending
runtime. Those changes cause bad performance of SYS_times() and
SYS_clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) syscalls, especially on
larger systems with many CPUs.
While we would like to have cpuclock monotonicity kept i.e. have
problems fixed by above commits stay fixed, we also would like to have
good performance.
However when we notice that change from commit d670ec1317 is not
longer needed to solve problem addressed by that commit, because of
change from the second commit 6e998916df, we can get room for
optimization. Since we update task while reading it's pending runtime
in task_sched_runtime(), clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) will
see updated values and on testcase from d670ec1317 process cpuclock
will not be smaller than thread cpuclock.
I tested the patch on testcases from commits d670ec1317,
6e998916df and some other cpuclock/cputimers testcases and
did not found cpuclock monotonicity problems or other malfunction.
This patch has the drawback that we will not provide thread group cputime
up-to-date to the last moment. For example when arming cputime timer,
we will arm it with possibly a bit outdated values and that timer will
trigger earlier compared to behaviour without the patch. However that
was the behaviour before d670ec1317 commit (kernel v3.1) so it's
unlikely to affect applications.
Patch improves related syscall performance, as measured by Giovanni's
benchmarks described in commit:
6075620b05 ("sched/cputime: Mitigate performance regression in times()/clock_gettime()")
The benchmark results are:

Add a topology flag to the sched_domain hierarchy indicating the lowest
domain level where the full range of CPU capacities is represented by
the domain members for asymmetric capacity topologies (e.g. ARM
big.LITTLE).
The flag is intended to indicate that extra care should be taken when
placing tasks on CPUs and this level spans all the different types of
CPUs found in the system (no need to look further up the domain
hierarchy). This information is currently only available through
iterating through the capacities of all the CPUs at parent levels in the
sched_domain hierarchy.
SD 2 [ 0 1 2 3] SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY
SD 1 [ 0 1] [ 2 3] !SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY
CPU: 0 1 2 3
capacity: 756 756 1024 1024
If the topology in the example above is duplicated to create an eight
CPU example with third sched_domain level on top (SD 3), this level
should not have the flag set (!SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) as its two group
would both have all CPU capacities represented within them.

Commit:
5743021831 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")
... fixed a bug but also triggered a regression:
On an i5 laptop, 4 pCPUs, 4vCPUs for one full dynticks guest, there are four
CPU hog processes(for loop) running in the guest, I hot-unplug the pCPUs
on host one by one until there is only one left, then observe CPU utilization
via 'top' in the guest, it shows:
100% st for cpu0(housekeeping)
75% st for other CPUs (nohz full mode)
However, w/o this commit it shows the correct 75% for all four CPUs.
When a guest is interrupted for a longer amount of time, missed clock ticks
are not redelivered later. Because of that, we should not limit the amount
of steal time accounted to the amount of time that the calling functions
think have passed.
However, the interval returned by account_other_time() is NOT rounded down
to the nearest jiffy, while the base interval in get_vtime_delta() it is
subtracted from is, so the max cputime limit is required to avoid underflow.
This patch fixes the regression by limiting the account_other_time() from
get_vtime_delta() to avoid underflow, and lets the other three call sites
(in account_other_time() and steal_account_process_time()) account however
much steal time the host told us elapsed.

All of the callers of cpufreq_update_util() pass rq_clock(rq) to it
as the time argument and some of them check whether or not cpu_of(rq)
is equal to smp_processor_id() before calling it, so rework it to
take a runqueue pointer as the argument and move the rq_clock(rq)
evaluation into it.
Additionally, provide a wrapper checking cpu_of(rq) against
smp_processor_id() for the cpufreq_update_util() callers that
need it.

It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just
been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util()
and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data. However,
doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they
already take would be clumsy, so avoid it.
Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part
of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly.
This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced
with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow.
Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization
information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags
instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track
updates from the RT and DL sched classes. Make it non-modular
too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at
large.
Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

cgroup_path() and friends used to format the path from the end and
thus the resulting path usually didn't start at the start of the
passed in buffer. Also, when the buffer was too small, the partial
result was truncated from the head rather than tail and there was no
way to tell how long the full path would be. These make the functions
less robust and more awkward to use.
With recent updates to kernfs_path(), cgroup_path() and friends can be
made to behave in strlcpy() style.
* cgroup_path(), cgroup_path_ns[_locked]() and task_cgroup_path() now
always return the length of the full path. If buffer is too small,
it contains nul terminated truncated output.
* All users updated accordingly.
v2: cgroup_path() usage in kernel/sched/debug.c converted.

This message is currently really useless since it always prints a value
that comes from the printk() we just did, e.g.:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 31996, name: trinity-c1
Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff8119db33>] down_trylock+0x13/0x80
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/freezer.h:56
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 31996, name: trinity-c1
Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff811aaa37>] console_unlock+0x2f7/0x930
Here, both down_trylock() and console_unlock() is somewhere in the
printk() path.
We should save the value before calling printk() and use the saved value
instead. That immediately reveals the offending callsite:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388

setup_new_dl_entity() takes two parameters, but it only actually uses
one of them, under a different name, to setup a new dl_entity, after:
2f9f3fdc928 "sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity"
as we currently do:
setup_new_dl_entity(&p->dl, &p->dl)
However, before Luca's change we were doing:
setup_new_dl_entity(dl_se, pi_se)
in update_dl_entity() for a dl_se->new entity: we were using pi_se's
parameters (the potential PI donor) for setting up a new entity.
This change removes the useless second parameter of setup_new_dl_entity().
While we are at it we also optimize things further calling setup_new_dl_
entity() only for already queued tasks, since (as pointed out by Xunlei)
we already do the very same update at tasks wakeup time anyway. By doing
so, we don't need to worry about a potential PI donor anymore, as
rt_mutex_setprio() takes care of that already for us.

Vincent noted that the update_tg_load_avg() usage in commit:
3d30544f02 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes")
isn't entirely sufficient. We need to call this function every time
cfs_rq->avg.load changes, this includes when update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
returns true, but {attach,detach}_entity_load_avg() themselves also
change it. This means we need to unconditionally call
update_tg_load_avg().
Also, add more comments.

As per the comment before this code, its safe to drop the RQ lock

Commit:
6e998916df ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")
fixed a problem whereby clock_nanosleep() followed by clock_gettime() could
allow a task to wake early. It addressed the problem by calling the scheduling
classes update_curr() when the cputimer starts.
Said change induced a considerable performance regression on the syscalls
times() and clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID). There are some
debuggers and applications that monitor their own performance that
accidentally depend on the performance of these specific calls.
This patch mitigates the performace loss by prefetching data in the CPU
cache, as stalls due to cache misses appear to be where most time is spent
in our benchmarks.
Here are the performance gain of this patch over v4.7-rc7 on a Sandy Bridge
box with 32 logical cores and 2 NUMA nodes. The test is repeated with a
variable number of threads, from 2 to 4*num_cpus; the results are in
seconds and correspond to the average of 10 runs; the percentage gain is
computed with (before-after)/before so a positive value is an improvement
(it's faster). The improvement varies between a few percents for 5-20
threads and more than 10% for 2 or >20 threads.

pound_clock_gettime and pound_clock_gettime are two benchmarks included in
the MMTests framework. They launch a given number of threads which
repeatedly call times() or clock_gettimes(). The results above can be
reproduced with cloning MMTests from github.com and running the "poundtime"
workload:
$ git clone https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests.git
$ cd mmtests
$ cp configs/config-global-dhp__workload_poundtime config
$ ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor $(uname -r)
The above will run "poundtime" measuring the kernel currently running on
the machine; Once a new kernel is installed and the machine rebooted,
running again
$ cd mmtests
$ ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor $(uname -r)
will produce results to compare with. A comparison table will be output
with:
$ cd mmtests/work/log
$ ../../compare-kernels.sh
the table will contain a lot of entries; grepping for "Amean" (as in
"arithmetic mean") will give the tables presented above. The source code
for the two benchmarks is reported at the end of this changelog for
clairity.
The cache misses addressed by this patch were found using a combination of
`perf top`, `perf record` and `perf annotate`. The incriminated lines were
found to be
struct sched_entity *curr = cfs_rq->curr;
and
delta_exec = now - curr->exec_start;
in the function update_curr() from kernel/sched/fair.c. This patch
prefetches the data from memory just before update_curr is called in the
interested execution path.
A comparison of the total number of cycles before and after the patch
follows; the data is obtained using `perf stat -r 10 -ddd <program>`
running over the same sequence of number of threads used above (a positive
gain is an improvement):

As a final note, the following shows the evolution of performance figures
in the "poundtime" benchmark and pinpoints commit 6e998916df
("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency") as a
major source of degradation, mostly unaddressed to this day (figures
expressed in seconds).
