* Add option to turn off preemption state tracingBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-11-24
| | | | | | Preemption state tracing is only useful when debugging preemption- and IPI-related races. Since it creates a lot of clutter in the logs, this patch turns it off unless explicitly requested.
* Add unlikely() to rel master check (match pfair).Glenn Elliott2011-11-02

* Pfair: add support for true sporadic releasesBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-08-27
| | | | | | This patch also converts Pfair to implement early releasing such that no timer wheel is required anymore. This removes the need for a maximum period restriction.
* Pfair: add release master support.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2011-08-27
| | | | | Merged in release master support for Pfair. Some merge conflicts had to be resolved.
* C-EDF: Make migration affinity work with Release MasterGlenn Elliott2011-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | Needed to update C-EDF to handle release master. Also updated get_nearest_available_cpu() to take NO_CPU instead of -1 to indicate that there is no release master. While NO_CPU is 0xffffffff (-1 in two's complement), we still translate this value to -1 in case NO_CPU changes. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bastoni <bastoni@cs.unc.edu>
* C-EDF: add release master supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-08-27
| | | | As with GSN-EDF, do not insert release master into CPU heap.
* PSN-EDF: add release master supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-08-27
| | | | We can give up a processor under partitioning, too.
* COMMENT: Correct comment on precise budget enforcementGlenn Elliott2011-08-27
| | | | | Original comment said that this feature wasn't supported, though it has been since around October 2010.
* Avoid needlessly costly migrations. CONFIG_SCHED_CPU_AFFINITYGlenn Elliott2011-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a choice between several available CPUs (unlinked) on which to schedule a task, let the scheduler select the CPU closest to where that task was previously scheduled. Hopefully, this will reduce cache migration penalties. Notes: SCHED_CPU_AFFINITY is dependent upon x86 (only x86 is supported at this time). Also PFair/PD^2 does not make use of this feature.

* Prevent Linux to send IPI and queue tasks on remote CPUs.wip-merge-v3.0Andrea Bastoni2011-08-27
| | | | | | Whether to send IPIs and enqueue tasks on remote runqueues is plugin-specific. The recent ttwu_queue() mechanism (by calling ttwu_queue_remote()) interferes with Litmus plugin decisions.
* Update PULL_TIMERS_VECTOR numberAndrea Bastoni2011-08-27
| | | | | | From 2.6.39 the "0xee" vector number that we used for pull_timers low-level management is is use by invalidate_tlb_X interrupts. Move the pull_timers vector below the max size of invalidate_tlb.
* Fix prototype mismatching and synch syscall numbersAndrea Bastoni2011-08-27
| | | | | | * Update prototypes for switched_to(), prio_changed(), select_task_rq(). * Fix missing pid field in printk output. * Synchronize syscall numbers for arm and x86.
* Merge 'Linux v3.0' into LitmusAndrea Bastoni2011-08-27
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some notes: * Litmus^RT scheduling class is the topmost scheduling class (above stop_sched_class). * scheduler_ipi() function (e.g., in smp_reschedule_interrupt()) may increase IPI latencies. * Added path into schedule() to quickly re-evaluate scheduling decision without becoming preemptive again. This used to be a standard path before the removal of BKL.

The docs suggest that it should be possible to align only to a power-of-two tile height, but using the already computed fence size is easier and always correct. We also have to make sure that we unbind misaligned buffers upon tiling changes. In order to prevent a repetition of this bug, we change the interface to the alignment computation routines to force the caller to provide the requested alignment and size of the GTT binding rather than assume the current values on the object.

It is therefore possible that this RCU read-side critical section will be preempted and later RCU priority boosted, which means that rcu_read_unlock() will call rt_mutex_unlock() in order to deboost itself, but with interrupts disabled. This results in lockdep splats, so this commit nests the RCU read-side critical section within the interrupt-disabled region of code. This prevents the RCU read-side critical section from being preempted, and thus prevents the attempt to deboost with interrupts disabled. It is quite possible that a better long-term fix is to make rt_mutex_unlock() disable irqs when acquiring the rt_mutex structure's ->wait_lock. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This fails because exit_irq() can invoke the scheduler after clearing the preempt_count() bits that in_irq() uses to determine that it is at interrupt level. This situation can result in failures as follows: $task IRQ SoftIRQ rcu_read_lock() /* do stuff */ <preempt> |= UNLOCK_BLOCKED rcu_read_unlock() --t->rcu_read_lock_nesting irq_enter(); /* do stuff, don't use RCU */ irq_exit(); sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET); invoke_softirq() ttwu(); spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) rcu_read_lock(); /* do stuff */ rcu_read_unlock(); rcu_read_unlock_special() rcu_report_exp_rnp() ttwu() spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) /* deadlock */ rcu_read_unlock_special(t); Ed can simply trigger this 'easy' because invoke_softirq() immediately does a ttwu() of ksoftirqd/# instead of doing the in-place softirq stuff first, but even without that the above happens. Cure this by also excluding softirqs from the rcu_read_unlock_special() handler and ensuring the force_irqthreads ksoftirqd/# wakeup is done from full softirq context. [ Alternatively, delaying the ->rcu_read_lock_nesting decrement until after the special handling would make the thing more robust in the face of interrupts as well. And there is a separate patch for that. ] Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-and-tested-by: Ed Tomlinson <edt@aei.ca> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Traditionally we never did any actual work from the resched IPI and all magic happened in the return from interrupt path. Now that we do do some work, we need to ensure irq_{enter,exit} are called so that we don't confuse things. This affects things like timekeeping, NO_HZ and RCU, basically everything with a hook in irq_enter/exit. Explicit examples of things going wrong are: sched_clock_cpu() -- has a callback when leaving NO_HZ state to take a new reading from GTOD and TSC. Without this callback, time is stuck in the past.

This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

This could result in bits in ->rcu_read_unlock_special being spuriously set and cleared due to conflicting accesses, which in turn could result in deadlocks between the rcu_node structure's ->lock and the scheduler's rq and pi locks. These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly believing that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been preempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was executed with either rq or pi locks held, RCU's ensuing (incorrect) calls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once again acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex deadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks as well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures. This commit fixes synchronization by creating ->rcu_boosted field in task_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the ->lock in the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only their own current->rcu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized access once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free of atomic instructions and memory barriers. The reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access the new current->rcu_boosted field is that this new field cannot be non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the current->rcu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock() need only test current->rcu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then current->rcu_boosted must also be zero. This bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation of RCU accesses current->rcu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled, thus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.

When the last such critical section has completed, rcu_report_exp_rnp() invokes the scheduler to wake up the task that invoked synchronize_rcu_expedited() -- needlessly holding the root rcu_node structure's lock while doing so, thus needlessly providing a way for RCU and the scheduler to deadlock. This commit therefore releases the root rcu_node structure's lock before calling wake_up(). Reported-by: Ed Tomlinson <edt@aei.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This avoids single node systems from touching funny NUMA sched_domain creation code and reduces the risks of the new SD_OVERLAP code.

This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the 16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap. Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible. In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power structure such that we can uniquely track the power.

Unfortunately, SPARSEMEM on 32bit had rather coarse (512MiB) addr->node mapping granularity due to lack of space in page->flags. This led to boot failure on certain AMD NUMA machines which had 128MiB alignment on nodes. Patches to properly detect this condition and reject NUMA configuration are posted[1] but deemed too pervasive for merge at this point (-rc6). Disable AMD NUMA for 32bit for now and re-enable once the detection logic is merged.
