* sched: isolate SMP balancing code a bit morePeter Williams2007-10-244-17/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, a lot of load balancing code that is irrelevant to non SMP systems gets included during non SMP builds. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the binary size on non SMP systems: text data bss dec hex filename 10983 28 1192 12203 2fab sched.o.before 10739 28 1192 11959 2eb7 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* sched: reduce balance-tasks overheadPeter Williams2007-10-244-55/+130
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance() function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that are called with two run queue locks held. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these operations. Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* sched: use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() outputSatyam Sharma2007-10-241-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the "scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations are guaranteed. Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after them.

* sched: fix sched_domain sysctl registration againMilton Miller2007-10-241-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 029190c515f15f512ac85de8fc686d4dbd0ae731 (cpuset sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains or their tunables. Fixes: 1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering we can't walk the domains before we build them presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain directories or files). 2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null. While the the function would always dereference null if called twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to free it would have shown the error. 3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains. Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always unregister. Without calling register on the way out we will not have a table or any sysctl tree. 4) warn if register is called without unregistering The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the tables. Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA, the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this case is stack garbage): bu19a:~# ls -R /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/: cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu1: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu2: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu3: bu19a:~# mkdir /dev/cpuset bu19a:~# mount -tcpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:~# cd /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > sched_load_balance bu19a:/dev/cpuset# mkdir one bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 1 > one/cpus bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > one/sched_load_balance Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000018 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000006b608 NIP: c00000000006b608 LR: c00000000006b604 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000018d973f0 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.23-bml) MSR: 9000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 28242442 XER: 00000000 DAR: 0000000000000018, DSISR: 0000000040000000 TASK = c00000001912e340[1987] 'bash' THREAD: c000000018d94000 CPU: 2 ..

* Fix synchronize_irq races with IRQ handlerHerbert Xu2007-10-231-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example, the tg3 driver does tp->irq_sync = 1; smp_mb(); synchronize_irq(); and then in the IRQ handler: if (!tp->irq_sync) netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi); Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't actually protect us. In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible. This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

* [PATCH] audit: watching subtreesAl Viro2007-10-216-9/+1301
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree". The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations: * if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously) * if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees * if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false positives. Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent. BM activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

The following is a list of changes: 1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface 2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by CPUIDLE drivers directly 3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one cpuidle_device is enabled and ready 4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows 5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding negative values 6.) a variety of other small cleanups Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g. poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

I call it the 'menu' governor because it considers the full list of idle states before each entry. I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end, it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following constraints: 1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection to C2-type or above. 2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt. 3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the elapsed time between the last pair of break events, excluding timer interrupts. This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep time deltas. The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs interface like so: "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor" Signed-off-by: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> commit a4bec7e65aa3b7488b879d971651cc99a6c410fe Author: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Date: Sat Mar 24 03:47:03 2007 -0400 cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ Expose information about the time remaining until the next timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure.

A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example). A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server, laptop on battery etc). Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management. A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset. This patch: Core cpuidle infrastructure. Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle: * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy decision * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.

Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error handling is very difficult. This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor. This patch: This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it. If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

Currently, such a task is migrated: 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed 2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed includes only a single cpu. This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset). With this patch, migrate the task to: 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed 2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset 3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion) Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because a) they are set to 0 automatically; b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized right before the .pgrp. This is the same patch as the 1ec320afdc9552c92191d5f89fcd1ebe588334ca one (from Cedric), but for the pgrp field. Some progress report: We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct task_struct and struct signal_struct. The session and pgrp are already deprecated. The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage in in fs/locks.c and audit code. The pid field deprecation is mainly blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to log.

When enabled in a cpuset (the default value) it tells the kernel scheduler that the scheduler should provide the normal load balancing on the CPUs in that cpuset, sometimes moving tasks from one CPU to a second CPU if the second CPU is less loaded and if that task is allowed to run there. When disabled (write "0" to the file) then it tells the kernel scheduler that load balancing is not required for the CPUs in that cpuset. Now even if this flag is disabled for some cpuset, the kernel may still have to load balance some or all the CPUs in that cpuset, if some overlapping cpuset has its sched_load_balance flag enabled. If there are some CPUs that are not in any cpuset whose sched_load_balance flag is enabled, the kernel scheduler will not load balance tasks to those CPUs. Moreover the kernel will partition the 'sched domains' (non-overlapping sets of CPUs over which load balancing is attempted) into the finest granularity partition that it can find, while still keeping any two CPUs that are in the same shed_load_balance enabled cpuset in the same element of the partition. This serves two purposes: 1) It provides a mechanism for real time isolation of some CPUs, and 2) it can be used to improve performance on systems with many CPUs by supporting configurations in which load balancing is not done across all CPUs at once, but rather only done in several smaller disjoint sets of CPUs. This mechanism replaces the earlier overloading of the per-cpuset flag 'cpu_exclusive', which overloading was removed in an earlier patch: cpuset-remove-sched-domain-hooks-from-cpusets See further the Documentation and comments in the code itself.

But that is a more complex change and will be addressed by a follow-on patch. For now allow the cgroup-init to be terminated by any process with sufficient privileges.
