This commit further avoids conflation of refperf with the kernel's perf feature by renaming kernel/rcu/refperf.c to kernel/rcu/refscale.c, and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file. This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also updated. The rcutorture --torture type remains refperf, and this will be addressed in a separate commit. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The old Kconfig option name is all too easy to conflate with the unrelated "perf" feature, so this commit renames RCU_REF_PERF_TEST to RCU_REF_SCALE_TEST. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() header comment incorrectly claims that any number of things delimit RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections, when in fact only rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace() do so. This commit therefore fixes this comment, and, while in the area, fixes a typo in the rcu_read_lock_trace() header comment.

This commit adds testing for RCU Tasks readers to the refperf module. This also applies to RCU Rude readers, as both flavors have empty (as in non-existent) read-side markers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The current units of microseconds are too coarse, so this commit changes the units to nanoseconds. However, ndelay is used only for the nanoseconds with udelay being used for whole microseconds. For example, setting refperf.readdelay=1500 results in a udelay(1) followed by an ndelay(500).

A 64-bit division was introduced in refperf, breaking compilation on all 32-bit architectures: kernel/rcu/refperf.o: in function `main_func': refperf.c:(.text+0x57c): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' Fix this by using div_u64 to mark the expensive operation.

With the various measurement optimizations, 10,000 loops normally suffices. This commit therefore reduces the refperf.loops default value from 10,000,000 to 10,000. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Currently, it is necessary to manually edit the console output to see anything more than statistics, and sometimes the statistics can indicate outliers that need more investigation. This commit therefore dumps out the per-experiment measurements, sorted in ascending order, just before dumping out the statistics.

This commit causes all the readers to start running unmeasured load until all readers have done at least one such run (thus having warmed up), then run the measured load, and then run unmeasured load until all readers have completed their measured load. This approach avoids any thread running measured load while other readers are idle. Cc: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Paul E. McKenney authored
Currently, readers are awakened individually. On most systems, this results in significant wakeup delay from one reader to the next, which can result in the first and last reader having sole access to the synchronization primitive in question. If that synchronization primitive involves shared memory, those readers will rack up a huge number of operations in a very short time, causing large perturbations in the results. This commit therefore has the readers busy-wait after being awakened, and uses a new n_started variable to synchronize their start times.

This commit converts the reader_task structure's "start" field to int in order to demote a full barrier to an smp_load_acquire() and also to simplify the code a bit. While in the area, and to enlist the compiler's help in ensuring that nothing was missed, the field's name was changed to start_reader. Also while in the area, change the main_func() store to use smp_store_release() to further fortify against wait/wake races. Cc: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit moves a printk() out of the measurement interval, converts a atomic_dec()/atomic_read() pair to atomic_dec_and_test(), and adds a smp_mb__before_atomic() to avoid potential wake/wait hangs. These changes have the added benefit of reducing the number of loops required for amortizing loop overhead for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n RCU measurements from 1,000,000 to 10,000. This reduction in turn shortens the test, reducing the probability of interference. Cc: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The current code uses the number of threads both to limit the number of threads and to specify the number of experiments, but also varies the number of threads as the experiments progress. This commit takes a different approach by adding an refperf.nruns module parameter that specifies the number of experiments, and furthermore uses the same number of threads for each experiment.

The CONFIG_PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair's overhead, even including loop overhead, is far less than one nanosecond.

Paul E. McKenney authored
Current runs show PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs consuming between 20 and 30 nanoseconds, when in fact the actual value is zero, give or take the barrier() asm's effect on compiler optimizations. The additional overhead is caused by function calls through pointers (especially in these days of Spectre mitigations) and perhaps also needless argument passing, a non-const loop limit, and an upcounting loop. This commit therefore combines the ->readlock() and ->readunlock() function pointers into a single ->readsection() function pointer that takes the loop count as a const parameter and keeps any data passed from the read-lock to the read-unlock internal to this new function. These changes reduce the measured overhead of the aforementioned PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from between 20 and 30 nanoseconds to somewhere south of 500 picoseconds.

This commit adds an rcuperf module parameter named "holdoff" that defaults to 10 seconds if refperf is built in and to zero otherwise. The assumption is that all the CPUs are online by the time that the modprobe and insmod commands are going to do anything, and that normal systems will have all the CPUs online within ten seconds. Larger systems may take many tens of seconds or even minutes to get to this point, hence this being a module parameter instead of being a hard-coded constant.

Add a test for comparing the performance of RCU with various read-side synchronization mechanisms. The test has proved useful for collecting data and performing these comparisons. Currently RCU, SRCU, reader-writer lock, reader-writer semaphore and reference counting can be measured using refperf.perf_type parameter. Each invocation of the test runs measures performance of a specific mechanism. The maximum number of CPUs to concurrently run readers on is chosen by the test itself and is 75% of the total number of CPUs. So if you had 24 CPUs, the test runs with a maximum of 18 parallel readers. A number of experiments are conducted, and in each experiment, the number of readers is increased by 1, upto the 75% of CPUs mark. During each experiment, all readers execute an empty loop with refperf.loops iterations and time the total loop duration. This is then averaged. Example output: Parameters "refperf.perf_type=srcu refperf.loops=2000000" looks like: [ 3.347133] srcu-ref-perf: [ 3.347133] Threads Time(ns) [ 3.347133] 1 36 [ 3.347133] 2 34 [ 3.347133] 3 34 [ 3.347133] 4 34 [ 3.347133] 5 33 [ 3.347133] 6 33 [ 3.347133] 7 33 [ 3.347133] 8 33 [ 3.347133] 9 33 [ 3.347133] 10 33 [ 3.347133] 11 33 [ 3.347133] 12 33 [ 3.347133] 13 33 [ 3.347133] 14 33 [ 3.347133] 15 32 [ 3.347133] 16 33 [ 3.347133] 17 33 [ 3.347133] 18 34 Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Pull ARM OMAP fixes from Arnd Bergmann: "The OMAP developers are particularly active at hunting down regressions, so this is a separate branch with OMAP specific fixes for v5.8: As Tony explains "The recent display subsystem (DSS) related platform data changes caused display related regressions for suspend and resume. Looks like I only tested suspend and resume before dropping the legacy platform data, and forgot to test it after dropping it. Turns out the main issue was that we no longer have platform code calling pm_runtime_suspend for DSS like we did for the legacy platform data case, and that fix is still being discussed on the dri-devel list and will get merged separately.

When combined with rcu/urgent and objtool/urgent, these patches make UBSAN/KASAN/KCSAN happy again. Part of making this all work is bumping the minimum GCC version for KASAN builds to gcc-8.3, the reason for this is that the __no_sanitize_address function attribute is broken in GCC releases before that.
