2009-10-29sched: move rq_weight data array out of .percpuJiri Kosina
Commit 34d76c41 introduced percpu array update_shares_data, size of which being proportional to NR_CPUS. Unfortunately this blows up ia64 for large NR_CPUS configuration, as ia64 allows only 64k for .percpu section. Fix this by allocating this array dynamically and keep only pointer to it percpu. The per-cpu handling doesn't impose significant performance penalty on potentially contented path in tg_shares_up(). ... ffffffff8104337c: 65 48 8b 14 25 20 cd mov %gs:0xcd20,%rdx ffffffff81043383: 00 00 ffffffff81043385: 48 c7 c0 00 e1 00 00 mov $0xe100,%rax ffffffff8104338c: 48 c7 45 a0 00 00 00 movq $0x0,-0x60(%rbp) ffffffff81043393: 00 ffffffff81043394: 48 c7 45 a8 00 00 00 movq $0x0,-0x58(%rbp) ffffffff8104339b: 00 ffffffff8104339c: 48 01 d0 add %rdx,%rax ffffffff8104339f: 49 8d 94 24 08 01 00 lea 0x108(%r12),%rdx ffffffff810433a6: 00 ffffffff810433a7: b9 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%ecx ffffffff810433ac: 48 89 45 b0 mov %rax,-0x50(%rbp) ffffffff810433b0: bb 00 04 00 00 mov $0x400,%ebx ffffffff810433b5: 48 89 55 c0 mov %rdx,-0x40(%rbp) ...

2009-10-24tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return valueJiri Olsa
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It currently returns the length of the space available in the buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not adequate here, because: trace_seq_printf(s, ""); is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it failed. We can always see the amount written by looking at the before and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to the buffer or not. Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

2009-10-23sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latenciesMike Galbraith
This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

2009-10-23perf events: Fix swevent hrtimer sampling by keeping track of remaining time ↵Soeren Sandmann
when enabling/disabling swevent hrtimers Make the hrtimer based events work for sysprof. Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled. When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and over with the same period. To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the user-specified sampling period. Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper functions instead of duplicating the code.

2009-10-16futex: Move drop_futex_key_refs out of spinlock'ed regionDarren Hart
When requeuing tasks from one futex to another, the reference held by the requeued task to the original futex location needs to be dropped eventually. Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to "iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code - which may be non-atomic. It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped.

2009-10-15rcu: Fix TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU_HOTPLUG bad-luck hangPaul E. McKenney
If the following sequence of events occurs, then TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to complete, eventually OOMing the system: o A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system). Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period. Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining. With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this sort of abuse. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This would be exactly the scenario that patch 'cures'. Previously we would not clear the last buddy after running the next task, allowing the sender to get back to work sooner than it otherwise ought to have been, increasing latencies for other tasks. Now, since those receivers don't poke back, they don't enforce the buddy relation, which means there's nothing to re-elect the sender. Cure this by less agressively clearing the buddy stats. Only clear buddies when they were not chosen. It should still avoid a buddy sticking around long after its served its time.

2009-10-14perf_event: Adjust frequency and unthrottle for non-group-leader eventsPaul Mackerras
The loop in perf_ctx_adjust_freq checks the frequency of sampling event counters, and adjusts the event interval and unthrottles the event if required, and resets the interrupt count for the event. However, at present it only looks at group leaders. This means that a sampling event that is not a group leader will eventually get throttled, once its interrupt count reaches sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ --- and that is guaranteed to happen, if the event is active for long enough, since the interrupt count never gets reset. Once it is throttled it never gets unthrottled, so it basically just stops working at that point. This fixes it by making perf_ctx_adjust_freq use ctx->event_list rather than ctx->group_list. The existing spin_lock/spin_unlock around the loop makes it unnecessary to put rcu_read_lock/ rcu_read_unlock around the list_for_each_entry_rcu(). Reported-by: Mark W.

2009-10-13futex: Handle spurious wake upThomas Gleixner
The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and futex_wait_requeue_pi. The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake / requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one of the syscall restart error codes. In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in spurious wake up accelerator :) Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

In try_to_wake_up(), we update the runqueue clock, but select_task_rq() may select a different runqueue than the one we updated, leaving the new runqueue's clock stale for a bit.

2009-10-09writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowaitWu Fengguang
It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter. There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle, however it has been mismatching the code for a long time. If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

2009-10-07tracing: user local buffer variable for trace branch tracerSteven Rostedt
Just using the tr->buffer for the API to trace_buffer_lock_reserve is not good enough. This is because the tr->buffer may change, and we do not want to commit with a different buffer that we reserved from. This patch uses a local variable to hold the buffer that was used to reserve and commit with. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-10-07NOHZ: update idle state also when NOHZ is inactiveEero Nurkkala
Commit f2e21c9610991e95621a81407cdbab881226419b had unfortunate side effects with cpufreq governors on some systems. If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors. Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep the idle time accounting correct in any case.

2009-10-07rcu: Place root rcu_node structure in separate lockdep classPaul E. McKenney
Before this patch, all of the rcu_node structures were in the same lockdep class, so that lockdep would complain when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() acquired the root rcu_node structure's lock while holding one of the leaf rcu_nodes' locks. This patch changes rcu_init_one() to use a separate spin_lock_init() for the root rcu_node structure's lock than is used for that of all of the rest of the rcu_node structures, which puts the root rcu_node structure's lock in its own lockdep class.

2009-10-07rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacksPaul E. McKenney
The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain. This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished. This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers. If you don't every wait, you cannot hang. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
