2014-09-09net: bpf: consolidate JIT binary allocatorDaniel Borkmann
Introduced in commit 314beb9bcabf ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf jit against spraying attacks") and later on replicated in aa2d2c73c21f ("s390/bpf,jit: address randomize and write protect jit code") for s390 architecture, write protection for BPF JIT images got added and a random start address of the JIT code, so that it's not on a page boundary anymore. Since both use a very similar allocator for the BPF binary header, we can consolidate this code into the BPF core as it's mostly JIT independant anyway. This will also allow for future archs that support DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX to just reuse instead of reimplementing it. JIT tested on x86_64 and s390x with BPF test suite.

2014-09-09ftrace: Add helper function ftrace_ops_get_func()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Add the helper function to what the mcount trampoline is to call for a ftrace_ops function. This helper will be used by arch code in the future to set up dynamic trampolines. But as this does the same tests that are performed in choosing what function to call for the default mcount trampoline, might as well use it to clean up the existing code.

2014-09-09net: filter: add "load 64-bit immediate" eBPF instructionAlexei Starovoitov
add BPF_LD_IMM64 instruction to load 64-bit immediate value into a register. All previous instructions were 8-byte. This is first 16-byte instruction. Two consecutive 'struct bpf_insn' blocks are interpreted as single instruction: insn[0].code = BPF_LD | BPF_DW | BPF_IMM insn[0].dst_reg = destination register insn[0].imm = lower 32-bit insn[1].code = 0 insn[1].imm = upper 32-bit All unused fields must be zero. Classic BPF has similar instruction: BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_IMM which loads 32-bit immediate value into a register. x64 JITs it as single 'movabsq %rax, imm64' arm64 may JIT as sequence of four 'movk x0, #imm16, lsl #shift' insn Note that old eBPF programs are binary compatible with new interpreter. It helps eBPF programs load 64-bit constant into a register with one instruction instead of using two registers and 4 instructions: BPF_MOV32_IMM(R1, imm32) BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_LSH, R1, 32) BPF_MOV32_IMM(R2, imm32) BPF_ALU64_REG(BPF_OR, R1, R2) User space generated programs will use this instruction to load constants only. To tell kernel that user space needs a pointer the _pseudo_ variant of this instruction may be added later, which will use extra bits of encoding to indicate what type of pointer user space is asking kernel to provide. For example 'off' or 'src_reg' fields can be used for such purpose. src_reg = 1 could mean that user space is asking kernel to validate and load in-kernel map pointer. src_reg = 2 could mean that user space needs readonly data section pointer src_reg = 3 could mean that user space needs a pointer to per-cpu local data All such future pseudo instructions will not be carrying the actual pointer as part of the instruction, but rather will be treated as a request to kernel to provide one. The kernel will verify the request_for_a_pointer, then will drop _pseudo_ marking and will store actual internal pointer inside the instruction, so the end result is the interpreter and JITs never see pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insns and only operate on generic BPF_LD_IMM64 that loads 64-bit immediate into a register. User space never operates on direct pointers and verifier can easily recognize request_for_pointer vs other instructions. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-09-09ftrace: Add separate function for non recursive callbacksSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Instead of using the generic list function for callbacks that are not recursive, call a new helper function from the mcount trampoline called ftrace_ops_recur_func() that will do the recursion checking for the callback. This eliminates an indirection as well as will help in future code that will use dynamically allocated trampolines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2014-09-09perf: Fix a race condition in perf_remove_from_context()Cong Wang
We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(), it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking a child. So either the target process should execute the smp function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should do a context switch which deactives the event. It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(), and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation. Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context(). This should cure the above soft lockup.

2014-09-09sched: Reduce contention in update_cfs_rq_blocked_load()Jason Low
When running workloads on 2+ socket systems, based on perf profiles, the update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() function often shows up as taking up a noticeable % of run time. Much of the contention is in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() when we update the tg load contribution stats. However, it turns out that in many cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0. This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated. This reduces the cacheline contention that would be unnecessary.

2014-09-09sched: Migrate waking tasksLai Jiangshan
Current code can fail to migrate a waking task (silently) when TTWU_QUEUE is enabled. When a task is waking, it is pending on the wake_list of the rq, but it is not queued (task->on_rq == 0). In this case, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and __migrate_task() will not migrate it because its invisible to them. This behavior is incorrect, because the task has been already woken, it will be running on the wrong CPU without correct placement until the next wake-up or update for cpus_allowed. To fix this problem, we need to finish the wakeup (so they appear on the runqueue) before we migrate them. Reported-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Reported-by: Jason J.

2014-09-08sched, time: Atomically increment stime & utimeRik van Riel
The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted() can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs. This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value. Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately overwritten with a smaller value by another thread. Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time progresses monotonically.

2014-09-08time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlockRik van Riel
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a lock. The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

Oleg pointed out that wait_task_zombie adds a task's usage statistics to the parent's signal struct, but the task's own signal struct should also propagate the statistics at exit time. This allows thread_group_cputime(reaped_zombie) to get the statistics after __unhash_process() has made the task invisible to for_each_thread, but before the thread has actually been rcu freed, making sure no non-monotonic results are returned inside that window.

2014-09-07rcu: Remove local_irq_disable() in rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()Paul E. McKenney
The rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() function is on a scheduling fast path, so it would be good to avoid disabling irqs. The reason that irqs are disabled is to synchronize process-level and irq-handler access to the task_struct ->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask. This commit therefore makes ->rcu_read_unlock_special instead be a union of bools with a short allowing single-access checks in RCU's __rcu_read_unlock(). This results in the process-level and irq-handler accesses being simple loads and stores, so that irqs need no longer be disabled.

2014-09-07rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle nohz_full= CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Currently TASKS_RCU would ignore a CPU running a task in nohz_full= usermode execution. There would be neither a context switch nor a scheduling-clock interrupt to tell TASKS_RCU that the task in question had passed through a quiescent state. The grace period would therefore extend indefinitely. This commit therefore makes RCU's dyntick-idle subsystem record the task_struct structure of the task that is running in dyntick-idle mode on each CPU. The TASKS_RCU grace period can then access this information and record a quiescent state on behalf of any CPU running in dyntick-idle usermode. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-09-07rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle tasks that are almost done exitingPaul E. McKenney
Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it is no longer on the task lists, and is therefore no longer visible to rcu_tasks_kthread(). This means that an almost-exited task might be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited on by rcu_tasks_kthread(). This commit fixes this bug by adding an srcu_struct. An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after doing the final preempt_disable(). This means that rcu_tasks_kthread() can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched() to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks. In some cases, this requires instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping. This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce IPI usage. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-09-07rcu: Add call_rcu_tasks()Paul E. McKenney
This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides call_rcu_tasks(). This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the idle tasks. Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs. Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt. This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant updaters. This assumption permits significant simplifications, including a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not yet passed through a quiescent state. If experience shows this assumption to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added. Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-09-07rcu: Replace flush_signals() with WARN_ON(signal_pending())Paul E. McKenney
Currently, when RCU awakens from a wait_event_interruptible() that might have awakened prematurely, it does a flush_signals(). This is done on the off-chance that someone figured out how to deliver a signal to a kthread, which is supposed to be impossible. Given that this is supposed to be impossible, this commit changes the flush_signals() calls into WARN_ON(signal_pending()). Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-09-07rcu: Use rcu_gp_kthread_wake() to wake up grace period kthreadsPranith Kumar
The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function checks for three conditions before waking up grace period kthreads: * Is the thread we are trying to wake up the current thread? * Are the gp_flags zero? (all threads wait on non-zero gp_flags condition) * Is there no thread created for this flavour, hence nothing to wake up? If any one of these condition is true, we do not call wake_up(). It was found that there are quite a few avoidable wake ups both during idle time and under stress induced by rcutorture. Idle: Total:66000, unnecessary:66000, case1:61827, case2:66000, case3:0 Total:68000, unnecessary:68000, case1:63696, case2:68000, case3:0 rcutorture: Total:254000, unnecessary:254000, case1:199913, case2:254000, case3:0 Total:256000, unnecessary:256000, case1:201784, case2:256000, case3:0 Here case{1-3} are the cases listed above. We can avoid these wake ups by using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() to conditionally wake up the grace period kthreads. There is a comment about an implied barrier supplied by the wake_up() logic. This barrier is necessary for the awakened thread to see the updated ->gp_flags. This flag is always being updated with the root node lock held. Also, the awakened thread tries to acquire the root node lock before reading ->gp_flags because of which there is proper ordering. Hence this commit tries to avoid calling wake_up() whenever we can by using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function.

2014-09-07rcu: Make TINY_RCU tinier by putting error checks under #ifdefPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_idle_enter_common() and rcu_idle_exit_common() functions contain error checks that have to the best of my knowledge have never triggered over the past several years. These are nevertheless valuable when creating new architectures or doing other low-level changes, so the checks should not be deleted. This commit instead places these checks under #ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE so that they are executed only when specifically requested. The savings are significant: Before: text data bss dec hex filename 1749 39 0 1788 6fc /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/tiny.o 632 152 0 784 310 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/update.o ---- 2572 After: text data bss dec hex filename 1281 37 0 1318 526 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/tiny.o 632 152 0 784 310 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/update.o ---- 2102 This amounts to 470 bytes, or 18% of the original. Switched from #ifdef to IS_ENABLED() on Josh Triplett's advice. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-09-07rcu: Break more call_rcu() deadlock involving scheduler and perfPaul E. McKenney
Commit 96d3fd0d315a9 (rcu: Break call_rcu() deadlock involving scheduler and perf) covered the case where __call_rcu_nocb_enqueue() needs to wake the rcuo kthread due to the queue being initially empty, but did not do anything for the case where the queue was overflowing. This commit therefore also defers wakeup for the overflow case. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit f7f7bac9cb1c ("rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure") unconditionally populates the __tracepoint_str input section, but this section is not assigned an output section if CONFIG_TRACING is not set. This results in the __tracepoint_str turning up in unexpected places, i.e., after _edata.

2014-09-07rcu: Uninline rcu_read_lock_held()Oleg Nesterov
This commit uninlines rcu_read_lock_held(). According to "size vmlinux" this saves 28549 in .text: - 5541731 3014560 14757888 23314179 + 5513182 3026848 14757888 23297918 Note: it looks as if the data grows by 12288 bytes but this is not true, it does not actually grow. But .data starts with ALIGN(THREAD_SIZE) and since .text shrinks the padding grows, and thus .data grows too as it seen by /bin/size. diff System.map: - ffffffff81510000 D _sdata - ffffffff81510000 D init_thread_union + ffffffff81509000 D _sdata + ffffffff8150c000 D init_thread_union Perhaps we can change vmlinux.lds.S to .data itself, so that /bin/size can't "wrongly" report that .data grows if .text shinks.
