2017-04-11sched/core: Remove 'task' parameter and rename tsk_restore_flags() to ↵NeilBrown1-1/+1
current_restore_flags() It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags of another thread as there is no locking that can protect the update. So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing. All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have accepted that invitation. It would be best to ensure it remains that way. So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't pass in a task_struct pointer. Always operate on current->flags.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

2016-09-30softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its jobEric Dumazet1-1/+15
A while back, Paolo and Hannes sent an RFC patch adding threaded-able napi poll loop support : (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/620657/) The problem seems to be that softirqs are very aggressive and are often handled by the current process, even if we are under stress and that ksoftirqd was scheduled, so that innocent threads would have more chance to make progress. This patch makes sure that if ksoftirq is running, we let it perform the softirq work. Jonathan Corbet summarized the issue in https://lwn.net/Articles/687617/ Tested: - NIC receiving traffic handled by CPU 0 - UDP receiver running on CPU 0, using a single UDP socket. - Incoming flood of UDP packets targeting the UDP socket. Before the patch, the UDP receiver could almost never get CPU cycles and could only receive ~2,000 packets per second. After the patch, CPU cycles are split 50/50 between user application and ksoftirqd/0, and we can effectively read ~900,000 packets per second, a huge improvement in DOS situation. (Note that more packets are now dropped by the NIC itself, since the BH handlers get less CPU cycles to drain RX ring buffer) Since the load runs in well identified threads context, an admin can more easily tune process scheduling parameters if needed.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>.

2016-02-29sched/debug: Fix preempt_disable_ip recording for preempt_disable()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-2/+2
The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or local_bh_disable(). This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function. This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or local_bh_disable(). Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename.

2015-01-15ksoftirqd: Use new cond_resched_rcu_qs() functionPaul E. McKenney1-6/+1
Simplify run_ksoftirqd() by using the new cond_resched_rcu_qs() function that conditionally reschedules, but unconditionally supplies an RCU quiescent state. This commit is separate from the previous commit by Calvin Owens because Calvin's approach can be backported, while this commit cannot be. The reason that this commit cannot be backported is that cond_resched_rcu_qs() does not always provide the needed quiescent state in earlier kernels. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-01-15ksoftirqd: Enable IRQs and call cond_resched() before poking RCUCalvin Owens1-1/+5
While debugging an issue with excessive softirq usage, I encountered the following note in commit 3e339b5dae24a706 ("softirq: Use hotplug thread infrastructure"): [ paulmck: Call rcu_note_context_switch() with interrupts enabled. ] ...but despite this note, the patch still calls RCU with IRQs disabled. This seemingly innocuous change caused a significant regression in softirq CPU usage on the sending side of a large TCP transfer (~1 GB/s): when introducing 0.01% packet loss, the softirq usage would jump to around 25%, spiking as high as 50%. Before the change, the usage would never exceed 5%. Moving the call to rcu_note_context_switch() after the cond_sched() call, as it was originally before the hotplug patch, completely eliminated this problem.

2015-01-14softirq/preempt: Add missing current->preempt_disable_ip updateHeiko Carstens1-1/+5
While debugging some "sleeping function called from invalid context" bug I realized that the debugging message "Preemption disabled at:" pointed to an incorrect function. In particular if the last function/action that disabled preemption was spin_lock_bh() then current->preempt_disable_ip won't be updated. The reason for this is that __local_bh_disable_ip() will increase preempt_count manually instead of calling preempt_count_add(), which would handle the update correctly. It look like the manual handling was done to work around some lockdep issue. So add the missing update of current->preempt_disable_ip to __local_bh_disable_ip() as well.

The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all.

2014-04-28genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflictThomas Gleixner1-0/+5
On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a completely different configuration so hell breaks lose. Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs, except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose such a detail to a driver. To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations. Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations happen above. That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate issue.

2014-01-16tick: Rename tick_check_idle() to tick_irq_enter()Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit(). These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action: we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry. This rename was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a long while ago but it got forgotten in the mass.

2014-01-13sched/preempt, locking: Rework local_bh_{dis,en}able()Peter Zijlstra1-29/+6
Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason. So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on load/store archs). Also expose two new local_bh functions: __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt); Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour. The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock functions. With build fixes from Jacob Pan.

2014-01-13locking: Optimize lock_bh functionsPeter Zijlstra1-2/+2
Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations: local_bh_disable(); preempt_disable(); and for the unlock: preempt_enable_no_resched(); local_bh_enable(); Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable twice when you can do it in one go; use the new __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a preempt_count value to add/sub. So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to add/sub to be done in one go. As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage. This reduces a 1000 loops of: spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock); spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock); from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few runs I did for each suggest it is so.

2013-11-27lockdep: Simplify a bit hardirq <-> softirq transitionsFrederic Weisbecker1-21/+16
Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication, just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions return values and parameters. It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter case assume both states.

2013-11-19lockdep: Correctly annotate hardirq context in irq_exit()Peter Zijlstra1-9/+45
There was a reported deadlock on -rt which lockdep didn't report. It turns out that in irq_exit() we tell lockdep that the hardirq context ends and then do all kinds of locking afterwards. To fix it, move trace_hardirq_exit() to the very end of irq_exit(), this ensures all locking in tick_irq_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() are properly recorded as happening from hardirq context. This however leads to the 'fun' little problem of running softirqs while in hardirq context. To cure this make the softirq code a little more complex (in the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case). Due to stack swizzling arch dependent trickery we cannot pass an argument to __do_softirq() to tell it if it was done from hardirq context or not; so use a side-band argument. When we do __do_softirq() from hardirq context, 'atomically' flip to softirq context and back, so that no locking goes without being in either hard- or soft-irq context. I didn't find any new problems in mainline using this patch, but it did show the -rt problem.

2013-10-01irq: Optimize softirq stack selection in irq exitFrederic Weisbecker1-4/+10
If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack, it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit(). For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here, the worst case scenario is: hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable. Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve. So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache issues that come along.

2013-10-01irq: Improve a bit softirq debuggingFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
do_softirq() has a debug check that verifies that it is not nesting on softirqs processing, nor miscounting the softirq part of the preempt count. But making sure that softirqs processing don't nest is actually a more generic concern that applies to any caller of __do_softirq(). Do take it one step further and generalize that debug check to any softirq processing.

2013-10-01irq: Force hardirq exit's softirq processing on its own stackFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+12
The commit facd8b80c67a3cf64a467c4a2ac5fb31f2e6745b ("irq: Sanitize invoke_softirq") converted irq exit calls of do_softirq() to __do_softirq() on all architectures, assuming it was only used there for its irq disablement properties. But as a side effect, the softirqs processed in the end of the hardirq are always called on the inline current stack that is used by irq_exit() instead of the softirq stack provided by the archs that override do_softirq(). The result is mostly safe if the architecture runs irq_exit() on a separate irq stack because then softirqs are processed on that same stack that is near empty at this stage (assuming hardirq aren't nesting). Otherwise irq_exit() runs in the task stack and so does the softirq too. The interrupted call stack can be randomly deep already and the softirq can dig through it even further. To add insult to the injury, this softirq can be interrupted by a new hardirq, maximizing the chances for a stack overrun as reported in powerpc for example: do_IRQ: stack overflow: 1920 CPU: 0 PID: 1602 Comm: qemu-system-ppc Not tainted 3.10.4-300.1.fc19.ppc64p7 #1 Call Trace: [c0000000050a8740] .show_stack+0x130/0x200 (unreliable) [c0000000050a8810] .dump_stack+0x28/0x3c [c0000000050a8880] .do_IRQ+0x2b8/0x2c0 [c0000000050a8930] hardware_interrupt_common+0x154/0x180 --- Exception: 501 at .cp_start_xmit+0x3a4/0x820 [8139cp] LR = .cp_start_xmit+0x390/0x820 [8139cp] [c0000000050a8d40] .dev_hard_start_xmit+0x394/0x640 [c0000000050a8e00] .sch_direct_xmit+0x110/0x260 [c0000000050a8ea0] .dev_queue_xmit+0x260/0x630 [c0000000050a8f40] .br_dev_queue_push_xmit+0xc4/0x130 [bridge] [c0000000050a8fc0] .br_dev_xmit+0x198/0x270 [bridge] [c0000000050a9070] .dev_hard_start_xmit+0x394/0x640 [c0000000050a9130] .dev_queue_xmit+0x428/0x630 [c0000000050a91d0] .ip_finish_output+0x2a4/0x550 [c0000000050a9290] .ip_local_out+0x50/0x70 [c0000000050a9310] .ip_queue_xmit+0x148/0x420 [c0000000050a93b0] .tcp_transmit_skb+0x4e4/0xaf0 [c0000000050a94a0] .__tcp_ack_snd_check+0x7c/0xf0 [c0000000050a9520] .tcp_rcv_established+0x1e8/0x930 [c0000000050a95f0] .tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x21c/0x570 [c0000000050a96c0] .tcp_v4_rcv+0x734/0x930 [c0000000050a97a0] .ip_local_deliver_finish+0x184/0x360 [c0000000050a9840] .ip_rcv_finish+0x148/0x400 [c0000000050a98d0] .__netif_receive_skb_core+0x4f8/0xb00 [c0000000050a99d0] .netif_receive_skb+0x44/0x110 [c0000000050a9a70] .br_handle_frame_finish+0x2bc/0x3f0 [bridge] [c0000000050a9b20] .br_nf_pre_routing_finish+0x2ac/0x420 [bridge] [c0000000050a9bd0] .br_nf_pre_routing+0x4dc/0x7d0 [bridge] [c0000000050a9c70] .nf_iterate+0x114/0x130 [c0000000050a9d30] .nf_hook_slow+0xb4/0x1e0 [c0000000050a9e00] .br_handle_frame+0x290/0x330 [bridge] [c0000000050a9ea0] .__netif_receive_skb_core+0x34c/0xb00 [c0000000050a9fa0] .netif_receive_skb+0x44/0x110 [c0000000050aa040] .napi_gro_receive+0xe8/0x120 [c0000000050aa0c0] .cp_rx_poll+0x31c/0x590 [8139cp] [c0000000050aa1d0] .net_rx_action+0x1dc/0x310 [c0000000050aa2b0] .__do_softirq+0x158/0x330 [c0000000050aa3b0] .irq_exit+0xc8/0x110 [c0000000050aa430] .do_IRQ+0xdc/0x2c0 [c0000000050aa4e0] hardware_interrupt_common+0x154/0x180 --- Exception: 501 at .bad_range+0x1c/0x110 LR = .get_page_from_freelist+0x908/0xbb0 [c0000000050aa7d0] .list_del+0x18/0x50 (unreliable) [c0000000050aa850] .get_page_from_freelist+0x908/0xbb0 [c0000000050aa9e0] .__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x21c/0xae0 [c0000000050aaba0] .alloc_pages_vma+0xd0/0x210 [c0000000050aac60] .handle_pte_fault+0x814/0xb70 [c0000000050aad50] .__get_user_pages+0x1a4/0x640 [c0000000050aae60] .get_user_pages_fast+0xec/0x160 [c0000000050aaf10] .__gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x3b0/0x430 [kvm] [c0000000050aafd0] .kvmppc_gfn_to_pfn+0x64/0x130 [kvm] [c0000000050ab070] .kvmppc_mmu_map_page+0x94/0x530 [kvm] [c0000000050ab190] .kvmppc_handle_pagefault+0x174/0x610 [kvm] [c0000000050ab270] .kvmppc_handle_exit_pr+0x464/0x9b0 [kvm] [c0000000050ab320] kvm_start_lightweight+0x1ec/0x1fc [kvm] [c0000000050ab4f0] .kvmppc_vcpu_run_pr+0x168/0x3b0 [kvm] [c0000000050ab9c0] .kvmppc_vcpu_run+0xc8/0xf0 [kvm] [c0000000050aba50] .kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x5c/0x1a0 [kvm] [c0000000050abae0] .kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x478/0x730 [kvm] [c0000000050abc90] .do_vfs_ioctl+0x4ec/0x7c0 [c0000000050abd80] .SyS_ioctl+0xd4/0xf0 [c0000000050abe30] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98 Since this is a regression, this patch proposes a minimalistic and low-risk solution by blindly forcing the hardirq exit processing of softirqs on the softirq stack. This way we should reduce significantly the opportunities for task stack overflow dug by softirqs. Longer term solutions may involve extending the hardirq stack coverage to irq_exit(), etc...

2013-09-25sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiersPeter Zijlstra1-7/+7
Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic preempt_count value modifiers: __preempt_count_add() __preempt_count_sub() and the new: __preempt_count_dec_and_test() And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional $op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op. Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace() variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

2013-09-25sched: Introduce preempt_count accessor functionsPeter Zijlstra1-2/+2
Replace the single preempt_count() 'function' that's an lvalue with two proper functions: preempt_count() - returns the preempt_count value as rvalue preempt_count_set() - Allows setting the preempt-count value Also provide preempt_count_ptr() as a convenience wrapper to implement all modifying operations.
