Merge tag 'v3.10-rc7' into for-3.11/drivers
Linux 3.10-rc7 Pull this in early to avoid doing it with the bcache merge, since there are a number of changes to bcache between my old base (3.10-rc1) and the new pull request.

1REDUCING OS JITTER DUE TO PER-CPU KTHREADS
2
3This document lists per-CPU kthreads in the Linux kernel and presents
4options to control their OS jitter. Note that non-per-CPU kthreads are
5not listed here. To reduce OS jitter from non-per-CPU kthreads, bind
6them to a "housekeeping" CPU dedicated to such work.

35Name: ehca_comp/%u
36Purpose: Periodically process Infiniband-related work.
37To reduce its OS jitter, do any of the following:
381. Don't use eHCA Infiniband hardware, instead choosing hardware
39 that does not require per-CPU kthreads. This will prevent these
40 kthreads from being created in the first place. (This will
41 work for most people, as this hardware, though important, is
42 relatively old and is produced in relatively low unit volumes.)
432. Do all eHCA-Infiniband-related work on other CPUs, including
44 interrupts.
453. Rework the eHCA driver so that its per-CPU kthreads are
46 provisioned only on selected CPUs.
47
48
49Name: irq/%d-%s
50Purpose: Handle threaded interrupts.
51To reduce its OS jitter, do the following:
521. Use irq affinity to force the irq threads to execute on
53 some other CPU.
54
55Name: kcmtpd_ctr_%d
56Purpose: Handle Bluetooth work.
57To reduce its OS jitter, do one of the following:
581. Don't use Bluetooth, in which case these kthreads won't be
59 created in the first place.

61 occur on some other CPU and furthermore initiate all
62 Bluetooth activity on some other CPU.

64Name: ksoftirqd/%u
65Purpose: Execute softirq handlers when threaded or when under heavy load.
66To reduce its OS jitter, each softirq vector must be handled
67separately as follows:
68TIMER_SOFTIRQ: Do all of the following:
691. To the extent possible, keep the CPU out of the kernel when it
70 is non-idle, for example, by avoiding system calls and by forcing
71 both kernel threads and interrupts to execute elsewhere.
722. Build with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y. After boot completes, force
73 the CPU offline, then bring it back online. This forces
74 recurring timers to migrate elsewhere. If you are concerned
75 with multiple CPUs, force them all offline before bringing the
76 first one back online. Once you have onlined the CPUs in question,
77 do not offline any other CPUs, because doing so could force the
78 timer back onto one of the CPUs in question.
79NET_TX_SOFTIRQ and NET_RX_SOFTIRQ: Do all of the following:
801. Force networking interrupts onto other CPUs.
812. Initiate any network I/O on other CPUs.
823. Once your application has started, prevent CPU-hotplug operations
83 from being initiated from tasks that might run on the CPU to
84 be de-jittered. (It is OK to force this CPU offline and then
85 bring it back online before you start your application.)
86BLOCK_SOFTIRQ: Do all of the following:
871. Force block-device interrupts onto some other CPU.
882. Initiate any block I/O on other CPUs.
893. Once your application has started, prevent CPU-hotplug operations
90 from being initiated from tasks that might run on the CPU to
91 be de-jittered. (It is OK to force this CPU offline and then
92 bring it back online before you start your application.)
93BLOCK_IOPOLL_SOFTIRQ: Do all of the following:
941. Force block-device interrupts onto some other CPU.
952. Initiate any block I/O and block-I/O polling on other CPUs.
963. Once your application has started, prevent CPU-hotplug operations
97 from being initiated from tasks that might run on the CPU to
98 be de-jittered. (It is OK to force this CPU offline and then
99 bring it back online before you start your application.)
100TASKLET_SOFTIRQ: Do one or more of the following:
1011. Avoid use of drivers that use tasklets. (Such drivers will contain
102 calls to things like tasklet_schedule().)
1032. Convert all drivers that you must use from tasklets to workqueues.
1043. Force interrupts for drivers using tasklets onto other CPUs,
105 and also do I/O involving these drivers on other CPUs.
106SCHED_SOFTIRQ: Do all of the following:
1071. Avoid sending scheduler IPIs to the CPU to be de-jittered,
108 for example, ensure that at most one runnable kthread is present
109 on that CPU. If a thread that expects to run on the de-jittered
110 CPU awakens, the scheduler will send an IPI that can result in
111 a subsequent SCHED_SOFTIRQ.
1122. Build with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y,
113 CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, and, in addition, ensure that the CPU
114 to be de-jittered is marked as an adaptive-ticks CPU using the
115 "nohz_full=" boot parameter. This reduces the number of
116 scheduler-clock interrupts that the de-jittered CPU receives,
117 minimizing its chances of being selected to do the load balancing
118 work that runs in SCHED_SOFTIRQ context.
1193. To the extent possible, keep the CPU out of the kernel when it
120 is non-idle, for example, by avoiding system calls and by
121 forcing both kernel threads and interrupts to execute elsewhere.
122 This further reduces the number of scheduler-clock interrupts
123 received by the de-jittered CPU.
124HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ: Do all of the following:
1251. To the extent possible, keep the CPU out of the kernel when it
126 is non-idle. For example, avoid system calls and force both
127 kernel threads and interrupts to execute elsewhere.
1282. Build with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y. Once boot completes, force the
129 CPU offline, then bring it back online. This forces recurring
130 timers to migrate elsewhere. If you are concerned with multiple
131 CPUs, force them all offline before bringing the first one
132 back online. Once you have onlined the CPUs in question, do not
133 offline any other CPUs, because doing so could force the timer
134 back onto one of the CPUs in question.
135RCU_SOFTIRQ: Do at least one of the following:
1361. Offload callbacks and keep the CPU in either dyntick-idle or
137 adaptive-ticks state by doing all of the following:
138 a. Build with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y,
139 CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, and, in addition ensure that the CPU
140 to be de-jittered is marked as an adaptive-ticks CPU using
141 the "nohz_full=" boot parameter. Bind the rcuo kthreads
142 to housekeeping CPUs, which can tolerate OS jitter.
143 b. To the extent possible, keep the CPU out of the kernel
144 when it is non-idle, for example, by avoiding system
145 calls and by forcing both kernel threads and interrupts
146 to execute elsewhere.
1472. Enable RCU to do its processing remotely via dyntick-idle by
148 doing all of the following:
149 a. Build with CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y.
150 b. Ensure that the CPU goes idle frequently, allowing other
151 CPUs to detect that it has passed through an RCU quiescent
152 state. If the kernel is built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y,
153 userspace execution also allows other CPUs to detect that
154 the CPU in question has passed through a quiescent state.
155 c. To the extent possible, keep the CPU out of the kernel
156 when it is non-idle, for example, by avoiding system
157 calls and by forcing both kernel threads and interrupts
158 to execute elsewhere.
159
160Name: rcuc/%u
161Purpose: Execute RCU callbacks in CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.
162To reduce its OS jitter, do at least one of the following:
1631. Build the kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This prevents these
164 kthreads from being created in the first place, and also obviates
165 the need for RCU priority boosting. This approach is feasible
166 for workloads that do not require high degrees of responsiveness.
1672. Build the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=n. This prevents these
168 kthreads from being created in the first place. This approach
169 is feasible only if your workload never requires RCU priority
170 boosting, for example, if you ensure frequent idle time on all
171 CPUs that might execute within the kernel.
1723. Build with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y,
173 which offloads all RCU callbacks to kthreads that can be moved
174 off of CPUs susceptible to OS jitter. This approach prevents the
175 rcuc/%u kthreads from having any work to do, so that they are
176 never awakened.
1774. Ensure that the CPU never enters the kernel, and, in particular,
178 avoid initiating any CPU hotplug operations on this CPU. This is
179 another way of preventing any callbacks from being queued on the
180 CPU, again preventing the rcuc/%u kthreads from having any work
181 to do.
182
183Name: rcuob/%d, rcuop/%d, and rcuos/%d
184Purpose: Offload RCU callbacks from the corresponding CPU.
185To reduce its OS jitter, do at least one of the following:
1861. Use affinity, cgroups, or other mechanism to force these kthreads
187 to execute on some other CPU.
1882. Build with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPUS=n, which will prevent these
189 kthreads from being created in the first place. However, please
190 note that this will not eliminate OS jitter, but will instead
191 shift it to RCU_SOFTIRQ.
192
193Name: watchdog/%u
194Purpose: Detect software lockups on each CPU.
195To reduce its OS jitter, do at least one of the following:
1961. Build with CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=n, which will prevent these
197 kthreads from being created in the first place.
1982. Echo a zero to /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog to disable the
199 watchdog timer.
2003. Echo a large number of /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh in
201 order to reduce the frequency of OS jitter due to the watchdog
202 timer down to a level that is acceptable for your workload.

150When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
151the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
152The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
153returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
154transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in
155suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and
156stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid
157anymore.
158
159To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
160the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
161state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
162written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted
163becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
164signal will be rolled back anyway.

94calls an enumeration or discovery routine depending on the configured role of a 95------------
95master port: host or agent. 96
97RapidIO subsystem configuration options allow users to specify enumeration and
98discovery methods as statically linked components or loadable modules.
99An enumeration/discovery method implementation and available input parameters
100define how any given method can be attached to available RapidIO mports:
101simply to all available mports OR individually to the specified mport device.
102
103Depending on selected enumeration/discovery build configuration, there are
104several methods to initiate an enumeration and/or discovery process:
105
106 (a) Statically linked enumeration and discovery process can be started
107 automatically during kernel initialization time using corresponding module
108 parameters. This was the original method used since introduction of RapidIO
109 subsystem. Now this method relies on enumerator module parameter which is
110 'rio-scan.scan' for existing basic enumeration/discovery method.
111 When automatic start of enumeration/discovery is used a user has to ensure
112 that all discovering endpoints are started before the enumerating endpoint
113 and are waiting for enumeration to be completed.
114 Configuration option CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time that discovering
115 endpoint waits for enumeration to be completed. If the specified timeout
116 expires the discovery process is terminated without obtaining RapidIO network
117 information. NOTE: a timed out discovery process may be restarted later using
118 a user-space command as it is described later if the given endpoint was
119 enumerated successfully.
120
121 (b) Statically linked enumeration and discovery process can be started by
122 a command from user space. This initiation method provides more flexibility
123 for a system startup compared to the option (a) above. After all participating
124 endpoints have been successfully booted, an enumeration process shall be
125 started first by issuing a user-space command, after an enumeration is
126 completed a discovery process can be started on all remaining endpoints.
127
128 (c) Modular enumeration and discovery process can be started by a command from
129 user space. After an enumeration/discovery module is loaded, a network scan
130 process can be started by issuing a user-space command.
131 Similar to the option (b) above, an enumerator has to be started first.
132

107The enumeration process is implemented according to the enumeration algorithm 1504.2 Automatic Start of Enumeration and Discovery
108outlined in the RapidIO Interconnect Specification: Annex I [1]. 151------------------------------------------------
152
153Automatic enumeration/discovery start method is applicable only to built-in
154enumeration/discovery RapidIO configuration selection. To enable automatic
155enumeration/discovery start by existing basic enumerator method set use boot
156command line parameter "rio-scan.scan=1".
157
158This configuration requires synchronized start of all RapidIO endpoints that
159form a network which will be enumerated/discovered. Discovering endpoints have
160to be started before an enumeration starts to ensure that all RapidIO
161controllers have been initialized and are ready to be discovered. Configuration
162parameter CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time (in seconds) which
163a discovering endpoint will wait for enumeration to be completed.
164
165When automatic enumeration/discovery start is selected, basic method's
166initialization routine calls rio_init_mports() to perform enumeration or
167discovery for all known mport devices.
168
169Depending on RapidIO network size and configuration this automatic
170enumeration/discovery start method may be difficult to use due to the
171requirement for synchronized start of all endpoints.
172
1734.3 User-space Start of Enumeration and Discovery
174-------------------------------------------------
175
176User-space start of enumeration and discovery can be used with built-in and
177modular build configurations. For user-space controlled start RapidIO subsystem
178creates the sysfs write-only attribute file '/sys/bus/rapidio/scan'. To initiate
179an enumeration or discovery process on specific mport device, a user needs to
180write mport_ID (not RapidIO destination ID) into that file. The mport_ID is a
181sequential number (0 ... RIO_MAX_MPORTS) assigned during mport device
182registration. For example for machine with single RapidIO controller, mport_ID
183for that controller always will be 0.
184
185To initiate RapidIO enumeration/discovery on all available mports a user may
186write '-1' (or RIO_MPORT_ANY) into the scan attribute file.
187
1884.4 Basic Enumeration Method
189----------------------------
190
191This is an original enumeration/discovery method which is available since
192first release of RapidIO subsystem code. The enumeration process is
193implemented according to the enumeration algorithm outlined in the RapidIO
194Interconnect Specification: Annex I [1].
195
196This method can be configured as statically linked or loadable module.
197The method's single parameter "scan" allows to trigger the enumeration/discovery
198process from module initialization routine.
199
200This enumeration/discovery method can be started only once and does not support
201unloading if it is built as a module.

2564.5 Adding New Enumeration/Discovery Method
257-------------------------------------------
258
259RapidIO subsystem code organization allows addition of new enumeration/discovery
260methods as new configuration options without significant impact to to the core
261RapidIO code.
262
263A new enumeration/discovery method has to be attached to one or more mport
264devices before an enumeration/discovery process can be started. Normally,
265method's module initialization routine calls rio_register_scan() to attach
266an enumerator to a specified mport device (or devices). The basic enumerator
267implementation demonstrates this process.

935. RapidIO Bus Attributes
94-------------------------

96RapidIO bus subdirectory /sys/bus/rapidio implements the following bus-specific
97attribute:
98
99 scan - allows to trigger enumeration discovery process from user space. This
100 is a write-only attribute. To initiate an enumeration or discovery
101 process on specific mport device, a user needs to write mport_ID (not
102 RapidIO destination ID) into this file. The mport_ID is a sequential
103 number (0 ... RIO_MAX_MPORTS) assigned to the mport device.
104 For example, for a machine with a single RapidIO controller, mport_ID
105 for that controller always will be 0.
106 To initiate RapidIO enumeration/discovery on all available mports
107 a user must write '-1' (or RIO_MPORT_ANY) into this attribute file.
