* locking: Further name space cleanupsThomas Gleixner2009-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The name space hierarchy for the internal lock functions is now a bit backwards. raw_spin* functions map to _spin* which use __spin*, while we would like to have _raw_spin* and __raw_spin*. _raw_spin* is already used by lock debugging, so rename those funtions to do_raw_spin* to free up the _raw_spin* name space.

* locking: Implement new raw_spinlockThomas Gleixner2009-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the raw_spin name space is freed up, we can implement raw_spinlock and the related functions which are used to annotate the locks which are not converted to sleeping spinlocks in preempt-rt. A side effect is that only such locks can be used with the low level lock fsunctions which circumvent lockdep. For !rt spin_* functions are mapped to the raw_spin* implementations.

* locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlockThomas Gleixner2009-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

The function returns quickly without going deeper because it is apparent that a RT task can always preempt a non-RT task. In this situation, check_preempt_wakeup() always calls update_curr() to update vruntime value of the currently running task. However, the function call is unnecessary and redundant at that moment because (1) a non-RT task can always be preempted by a RT task regardless of its vruntime value, and (2) update_curr() will be called shortly when the context switch between two occurs. By moving update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup(), we can avoid redundant call to update_curr(), slightly reducing the time taken to wake up RT tasks.

Remove the relyance on rq->clock, as any site calling set_task_cpu() should also do a remote clock update, which should ensure the observed time between these two cpus is monotonic, as per kernel/sched_clock.c:sched_clock_remote(). Therefore we can simply remove the clock_offset bits and be happy. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up() where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the root_domain. However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right. Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no reason to make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info and friends visible to the rest of the kernel. So move all of them to hrtimer.c. Also make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info a static inline function so it gets inlined and we avoid another function call. Based on a patch by Thomas Gleixner.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the system unusable. Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms. The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.
