The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is invoked at online time to handle the case where the start of an expedited grace period ran concurrently with a CPU being taken offline and then immediately being placed online. It checks to see if RCU needs an expedited quiescent state from the incoming CPU, sending it an IPI if so. However, it is quite possible that sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is running on that CPU, in which case it is considerably less overhead to simply request the quiescent state locally instead of simulating a self-IPI. This commit therefore places the last few lines of rcu_exp_handler() into a new rcu_exp_need_qs() function, which is invoked both by rcu_exp_handler() and by sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() in the self-IPI case. This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by removing the direct call that this smp_call_function_single() uses to emulate the requested self-IPI. This in turn will allow tighter error checking in rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org>

Although sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() treats the current CPU as being in a quiescent state, it might well migrate to some other CPU before reaching the smp_call_function_single(), which could then result in an unnecessary simulated self-IPI. This commit therefore instead simply refuses to invoke smp_call_function_single() on the current CPU, which causes the later rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() to report this CPU's quiescent state with less overhead. This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by removing the direct call that this smp_call_function_single() uses to emulate the requested self-IPI. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

When rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked with interrupts disabled, is either not in an interrupt handler or is not using RCU_SOFTIRQ, is not the first RCU read-side critical section in the chain, and either there is an expedited grace period in flight or this is a NO_HZ_FULL kernel, the end of the grace period can be unduly delayed. The reason for this is that it is not safe to do wakeups in this situation. This commit fixes this problem by using the irq_work subsystem to force a later interrupt handler in a clean environment. Because set_tsk_need_resched(current) and set_preempt_need_resched() are invoked prior to this, the scheduler will force a context switch upon return from this interrupt (though perhaps at the end of any interrupted preempt-disable or BH-disable region of code), which will invoke rcu_note_context_switch() (again in a clean environment), which will in turn give RCU the chance to report the deferred quiescent state. Of course, by then this task might be within another RCU read-side critical section. But that will be detected at that time and reporting will be further deferred to the outermost rcu_read_unlock(). See rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() for more details on the checking. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

When running in an interrupt handler, raise_softirq() and raise_softirq_irqoff() have extremely low overhead: They simply set a bit in a per-CPU mask, which is checked upon exit from that interrupt handler. Therefore, if rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked within an interrupt handler and RCU_SOFTIRQ is in use, this commit make use of raise_softirq_irqoff() even if there is no expedited grace period in flight and even if this is not a nohz_full CPU.

Currently, rcu_read_unlock_special() will do wakeups whenever it is safe to do so. However, wakeups are expensive, and they are only really needed when the just-ended RCU read-side critical section is blocking an expedited grace period (in which case speed is of the essence) or on a nohz_full CPU (where it might be a good long time before an interrupt arrives). This commit therefore checks for these conditions, and does the expensive wakeups only if doing so would be useful. Note it can be rather expensive to determine whether or not the current task (as opposed to the current CPU) is blocking the current expedited grace period. Doing so requires traversing the ->blkd_tasks list, which can be quite long. This commit therefore cheats: If the current task is on a given ->blkd_tasks list, and some task on that list is blocking the current expedited grace period, the code assumes that the current task is blocking that expedited grace period.

When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock(). The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held, which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost, (2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc kthread corresponding to the current CPU. Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock() only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock() attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(). The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more. When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt. Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock. The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods, there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch and the actual context switch. This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when ->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption: rcu_read_lock(); /* preempted */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ rcu_read_lock(); local_irq_enable(); preempt_disable() rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */ rcu_read_lock(); preempt_enable(); /* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing without affecting other softirq work. This commit therefore introduces the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc. Use of SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority. Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

Since commit 54c7a891 ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening /initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free the initrd even if it doesn't exist. In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a NULL address. Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt to free it if it does.

The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c8 ("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock skip hints"). When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock. Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated. A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation avoidance in the long-term one page at a time. A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside of a pageblock which is not intended. While syzbot cannot be used to verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer triggers with this patch applied. It has also been confirmed that the THP allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3. Objective --------- Please have a look for the description at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786 but let me also summarize it a bit here as well. The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say "long" i mean milliseconds. Description ----------- This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the 1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e. an allocation is done over free areas lookups, instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks. It allows to have lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have less fragmented memory allocator. Because free blocks are always as large as possible. It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides O(1) access to prev/next elements. Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right sub-tree. Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left most path) free area. Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity. It is sequential allocation method therefore tends to maximize locality. The search is done until a first suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters. Bigger areas are split. I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786 <snip> A free block can be split by three different ways. Their names are FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e. they correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block. FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free list/tree because it fully fits. Comparing with current design there is an extra work with rb-tree updating. LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit. In this case what we do is just cutting a free block. It is as fast as a current design. Most of the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is always aligned to 1. NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case. Basically it happens when requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e. it is between them. In this case during splitting we have to build a remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree. Comparing with current design there are two extra steps. First one is we have to allocate a new vmap_area structure. Second one we have to insert that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree. In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects. Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and reuse it. Second one is pretty optimized. Since we know a start point in the tree we do not do a search from the top. Instead a traversal begins from a rb-tree node we split. <snip> De-allocation. ~O(log(N)) complexity. An area is not inserted straight away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it can be merged around neighbors. The list provides O(1) access to prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it. Summarizing. If merged then large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making more fragments. There is one more thing that i should mention here. After modification of VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in its left or right sub-tree. Apart of that it can also be populated back to upper levels to fix the tree. For more details please have a look at the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description. Tests and stressing ------------------- I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under "tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel. Just trigger "sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it. Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA. Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system, therefore i emulated it. The time of stressing is days. If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1. So, please apply it: http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory leaks, crashes or kernel panics. I find it stable, but more testing would be good. Performance analysis -------------------- I have used two systems to test. One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and another is HiKey960(arm64) board. i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel. I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1 as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this. Currently it consist of 8 tests. There are three of them which correspond to different types of splitting(to compare with default). We have 3 ones(see above). Another 5 do allocations in different conditions. a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order. We do it in order to get stable and repeatable results. Take a look at time difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test". It is not surprising because the worst case is O(N). # i5-3320M How many cycles all tests took: CPU0=646919905370(default) cycles vs CPU0=193290498550(patched) cycles # See detailed table with results here: ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/i5-3320M_performance_default.txt ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/i5-3320M_performance_patched.txt # Hikey960 8x CPUs How many cycles all tests took: CPU0=3478683207 cycles vs CPU0=463767978 cycles # See detailed table with results here: ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/HiKey960_performance_default.txt ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/HiKey960_performance_patched.txt b) time sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh test_repeat_count=1 With this configuration, all tests are run on all available online CPUs. Before running each CPU shuffles its tests execution order. It gives random allocation behaviour. So it is rough comparison, but it puts in the picture for sure. # i5-3320M <default> vs <patched> real 101m22.813s real 0m56.805s user 0m0.011s user 0m0.015s sys 0m5.076s sys 0m0.023s # See detailed table with results here: ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/i5-3320M_test_repeat_count_1_default.txt ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/i5-3320M_test_repeat_count_1_patched.txt # Hikey960 8x CPUs <default> vs <patched> real unknown real 4m25.214s user unknown user 0m0.011s sys unknown sys 0m0.670s I did not manage to complete this test on "default Hikey960" kernel version. After 24 hours it was still running, therefore i had to cancel it. That is why real/user/sys are "unknown". This patch (of 3): Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown. Due to over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can take a long time. For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds. This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the 1-ULONG_MAX range. It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in order of increasing addresses. Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in its left or right sub-tree. Thus, that allows to take a decision and traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start address, i.e. it is sequential allocation. Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the requested size, alignment and vstart point. If the block is bigger than requested size - it is split. De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or inserted to the tree. Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next blocks to check if merging can be done. In case of merging of de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.

In the recent build test of linux-next, Stephen saw a build error caused by a broken .tmp_versions/*.mod file: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991 drivers/net/phy/asix.ko and drivers/net/usb/asix.ko have the same basename, and there is a race in generating .tmp_versions/asix.mod Kbuild has not checked this before, and it suddenly shows up with obscure error messages when this kind of race occurs. Non-unique module names cause various sort of problems, but it is not trivial to catch them by eyes. Hence, this script. It checks not only real modules, but also built-in modules (i.e. controlled by tristate CONFIG option, but currently compiled with =y). Non-unique names for built-in modules also cause problems because /sys/modules/ would fall over. For the latest kernel, I tested "make allmodconfig all" (or more quickly "make allyesconfig modules"), and it detected the following: warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/regulator/88pm800.ko drivers/mfd/88pm800.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/adv7511.ko drivers/media/i2c/adv7511.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/net/phy/asix.ko drivers/net/usb/asix.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: fs/coda/coda.ko drivers/media/platform/coda/coda.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/net/phy/realtek.ko drivers/net/dsa/realtek.ko Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Reviewed-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com>

The 'addtree' and 'flags' in scripts/Kbuild.include are so compilecated and ugly. As I mentioned in [1], Kbuild should stop automatic prefixing of header search path options. I fixed up (almost) all Makefiles in the kernel. Now 'addtree' and 'flags' have been removed. Kbuild still caters to add $(srctree)/$(src) and $(objtree)/$(obj) to the header search path for O= building, but never touches extra compiler options from ccflags-y etc. [1]: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9632347/Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
