If the tick isn't stopped, the target residency of the state selected by the menu governor may be greater than the actual time to the next tick and that means lost energy. To avoid that, make tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() return the current time to the next event (before stopping the tick) in addition to the estimated one via an extra pointer argument and make menu_select() use that value to refine the state selection when necessary.

In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped, reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the "nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not to stop the tick. This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer event and the number returned by the latter comes from __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). Fortunately, however, it is possible to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with the help of the existing code. Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the next non-highres timer event. If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event() need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again. If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock event device. In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(), however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded, which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event(). That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption that the tick will be stopped. It can be returned to the idle governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the selected idle state. With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not necessary any more, so drop it.

The next set of changes will need to compute the time to the next hrtimer event over all hrtimers except for the scheduler tick one. To that end introduce a new helper function, hrtimer_next_event_without(), for computing the time until the next hrtimer event over all timers except for one and modify the underlying code in __hrtimer_next_event_base() to prepare it for being called by that new function. No intentional changes in functionality. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped, split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() into two separate routines, one computing the time to the next timer event and the other simply stopping the tick when the time to the next timer event is known. Prepare these two routines to be called separately, as one of them will be called by the idle governor in the cpuidle_select() code path after subsequent changes. Update the former callers of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to use the new routines, tick_nohz_next_event() and tick_nohz_stop_tick(), instead of it and move the updates of the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched into __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() as it doesn't need to be updated anywhere else. There should be no intentional visible changes in functionality resulting from this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the ->select cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the selected state to be returned from there. Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through it if: (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or (2) the selected state is a polling one, or (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period range. In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor values. To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update() behavior when tick wakeup occurs. Namely, if the CPU is woken up by the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time. Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

Make cpuidle_idle_call() decide whether or not to stop the tick. First, the cpuidle_enter_s2idle() path deals with the tick (and with the entire timekeeping for that matter) by itself and it doesn't need the tick to be stopped beforehand. Second, to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the tick has been stopped, it will be necessary to change the ordering of cpuidle_select() with respect to tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). To prepare for that, put a tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() call in the same branch in which cpuidle_select() is called. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Push the decision whether or not to stop the tick somewhat deeper into the idle loop. Stopping the tick upfront leads to unpleasant outcomes in case the idle governor doesn't agree with the nohz code on the duration of the upcoming idle period. Specifically, if the tick has been stopped and the idle governor predicts short idle, the situation is bad regardless of whether or not the prediction is accurate. If it is accurate, the tick has been stopped unnecessarily which means excessive overhead. If it is not accurate, the CPU is likely to spend too much time in the (shallow, because short idle has been predicted) idle state selected by the governor [1]. As the first step towards addressing this problem, change the code to make the tick stopping decision inside of the loop in do_idle(). In particular, do not stop the tick in the cpu_idle_poll() code path. Also don't do that in tick_nohz_irq_exit() which doesn't really have enough information on whether or not to stop the tick.

Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to avoid stopping the tick in some cases. The idea is to split the nohz idle entry call to decouple the idle time stats accounting and preparatory work from the actual tick stop code, in order to later be able to delay the tick stop once we reach more power-knowledgeable callers. Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside. Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too to retain their current functionality.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski: "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel. Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel. At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is better to use use a different calling convention for system calls there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near future. Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific code. This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h" * 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: (109 commits) bpf: whitelist all syscalls for error injection kernel/sys_ni: remove {sys_,sys_compat} from cond_syscall definitions kernel/sys_ni: sort cond_syscall() entries syscalls/x86: auto-create compat_sys_*() prototypes syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.h net: remove compat_sys_*() prototypes from net/compat.h syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/syscalls.h kexec: move sys_kexec_load() prototype to syscalls.h x86/sigreturn: use SYSCALL_DEFINE0 x86: fix sys_sigreturn() return type to be long, not unsigned long x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm() mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead() mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff() mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64() fs: add ksys_fallocate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_fallocate() fs: add ksys_p{read,write}64() helpers; remove in-kernel calls to syscalls fs: add ksys_truncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_truncate() fs: add ksys_sync_file_range helper(); remove in-kernel calls to syscall kernel: add ksys_setsid() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_setsid() kernel: add ksys_unshare() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_unshare() ...

Commit 2a98dc02 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are constants aligned to a byte. This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a big-endian machine. We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann: "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers. I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users. In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees. [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ] The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases. After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline gcc support: - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc. - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]" This really says it all: 2498 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 467668 deletions(-) * tag 'arch-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (74 commits) MAINTAINERS: UNICORE32: Change email account staging: iio: remove iio-trig-bfin-timer driver tty: hvc: remove tile driver tty: remove bfin_jtag_comm and hvc_bfin_jtag drivers serial: remove tile uart driver serial: remove m32r_sio driver serial: remove blackfin drivers serial: remove cris/etrax uart drivers usb: Remove Blackfin references in USB support usb: isp1362: remove blackfin arch glue usb: musb: remove blackfin port usb: host: remove tilegx platform glue pwm: remove pwm-bfin driver i2c: remove bfin-twi driver spi: remove blackfin related host drivers watchdog: remove bfin_wdt driver can: remove bfin_can driver mmc: remove bfin_sdh driver input: misc: remove blackfin rotary driver input: keyboard: remove bf54x driver ...

Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space error paths effectively. The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a given pid: from bcc import BPF from sys import argv pid = argv[1] prog = r""" int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags) { u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(); if (pid == %s) bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM); return 0; } """ % pid b = BPF(text=prog) while 1: b.perf_buffer_poll() This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.

compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore, generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from various header files.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_ioperm() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_ioperm(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
