2020-09-04kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnosticsPaul E. McKenney
This commit causes csd_lock_wait() to emit diagnostics when a CPU fails to respond quickly enough to one of the smp_call_function() family of function calls. These diagnostics are enabled by a new CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG Kconfig option that depends on DEBUG_KERNEL. This commit was inspired by an earlier patch by Josef Bacik.

2020-09-04smp: Add source and destination CPUs to __call_single_dataPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a destination CPU to __call_single_data, and is inspired by an earlier commit by Peter Zijlstra. This version adds #ifdef to permit use by 32-bit systems and supplying the destination CPU for all smp_call_function*() requests, not just smp_call_function_single(). If need be, 32-bit systems could be accommodated by shrinking the flags field to 16 bits (the atomic_t variant is currently unused) and by providing only eight bits for CPU on such systems. It is not clear that the addition of the fields to __call_single_node are really needed.

2020-05-28sched: Replace rq::wake_listPeter Zijlstra
The recent commit: 90b5363acd47 ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()") got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not atomic and still requires external serialization. The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong. While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in the right place to actually guarantee this serialization. The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop; that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD. Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.

2020-05-28irq_work, smp: Allow irq_work on call_single_queuePeter Zijlstra
Currently irq_work_queue_on() will issue an unconditional arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() and has the handler do irq_work_run(). This is unfortunate in that it makes the IPI handler look at a second cacheline and it misses the opportunity to avoid the IPI. Instead note that struct irq_work and struct __call_single_data are very similar in layout, so use a few bits in the flags word to encode a type and stick the irq_work on the call_single_queue list.

2020-03-06smp: Allow smp_call_function_single_async() to insert locked csdPeter Xu
Previously we will raise an warning if we want to insert a csd object which is with the LOCK flag set, and if it happens we'll also wait for the lock to be released. However, this operation does not match perfectly with how the function is named - the name with "_async" suffix hints that this function should not block, while we will. This patch changed this behavior by simply return -EBUSY instead of waiting, at the meantime we allow this operation to happen without warning the user to change this into a feature when the caller wants to "insert a csd object, if it's there, just wait for that one". This is pretty safe because in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for async csd objects (where csd->flags&SYNC is zero) we'll first do the unlock then we call the csd->func(). So if we see the csd->flags&LOCK is true in smp_call_function_single_async(), then it's guaranteed that csd->func() will be called after this smp_call_function_single_async() returns -EBUSY. Update the comment of the function too to refect this.

This memory allocation can be avoided by extending smp_call_function_many() with the conditional function and performing the remote function call based on the mask and the conditional function. Rename smp_call_function_many() to smp_call_function_many_cond() and add the smp_cond_func_t argument. If smp_cond_func_t is provided then it is used before invoking the function.

2019-01-30cpu/hotplug: Fix "SMT disabled by BIOS" detection for KVMJosh Poimboeuf
With the following commit: 73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS") ... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS, in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled. However, that code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt "sibling not yet brought online" case. So the above-mentioned commit was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases, preventing future virt sibling hotplugs. Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS: 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of "notsupported"; and 2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning. I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a problem. Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online later. So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on" to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU supports SMT). The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value. So fix it by: a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix: 73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS") bc2d8d262cba ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation") and b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state -- instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF warning is needed. This also requires the 'sched_smt_present' variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

2018-08-07cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluationThomas Gleixner
Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and makes the sysfs interface unusable. Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a 'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished. SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query it.

2017-09-08treewide: make "nr_cpu_ids" unsignedAlexey Dobriyan
First, number of CPUs can't be negative number. Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following cases: 1) kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X)); "int" has to be sign extended to size_t. 2) while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids) MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV. Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

2017-08-29smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_dataYing Huang
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

2017-05-23smp: Avoid sending needless IPI in smp_call_function_many()Aaron Lu
Inter-Processor-Interrupt(IPI) is needed when a page is unmapped and the process' mm_cpumask() shows the process has ever run on other CPUs. page migration, page reclaim all need IPIs. The number of IPI needed to send to different CPUs is especially large for multi-threaded workload since mm_cpumask() is per process. For smp_call_function_many(), whenever a CPU queues a CSD to a target CPU, it will send an IPI to let the target CPU to handle the work. This isn't necessary - we need only send IPI when queueing a CSD to an empty call_single_queue. The reason: flush_smp_call_function_queue() that is called upon a CPU receiving an IPI will empty the queue and then handle all of the CSDs there. So if the target CPU's call_single_queue is not empty, we know that: i. An IPI for the target CPU has already been sent by 'previous queuers'; ii. flush_smp_call_function_queue() hasn't emptied that CPU's queue yet. Thus, it's safe for us to just queue our CSD there without sending an addtional IPI. And for the 'previous queuers', we can limit it to the first queuer. To demonstrate the effect of this patch, a multi-thread workload that spawns 80 threads to equally consume 100G memory is used. This is tested on a 2 node broadwell-EP which has 44cores/88threads and 32G memory. So after 32G memory is used up, page reclaiming starts to happen a lot. With this patch, IPI number dropped 88% and throughput increased about 15% for the above workload.

Currently we don't print anything before starting to bring up secondary CPUs. This can be confusing if it takes a long time to bring up the secondaries, or if the kernel crashes while doing so and produces no further output. On x86 they work around this by detecting when the first secondary CPU comes up and printing a message (see announce_cpu()). But doing it in smp_init() is simpler and works for all arches.

Currently after bringing up secondary CPUs all arches print "Brought up %d CPUs". On x86 they also print the number of nodes that were brought online. It would be nice to also print the number of nodes on other arches. Although we could override smp_announce() on the other ~10 NUMA aware arches, it seems simpler to just always print the number of nodes. On non-NUMA arches there is just always 1 node. Having done that, smp_announce() is no longer weak, and seems small enough to just pull directly into smp_init().

This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism. - Largely undocumented dependencies While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities, we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to express dependencies without any documentation why. - Control processor driven Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps, like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot, there is no reason why everything else must run on a control processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu bring the rest up - All or nothing approach There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level synchronization with the freshly booted cpu. - Minimal debuggability Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested. - Notifier [un]registering is tedious To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to do it itself. That also includes error rollback. What's the new design? The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be stopped and reversed at almost all states. So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu bring itself up The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait. That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some other mechanism. The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well. There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct. The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it off completely. This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the core level. This includes the following: - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so ordering and prioritization can be expressed. - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in the state machine array. For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an explicit hotplug state. If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the previous state. - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step. This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme. - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying processor: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu wait for boot bring itself up Signal completion to control cpu In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code. This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme. I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and testable behaviour" * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) cpu/hotplug: Document states better cpu/hotplug: Fix smpboot thread ordering cpu/hotplug: Remove redundant state check cpu/hotplug: Plug death reporting race rcu: Make CPU_DYING_IDLE an explicit call cpu/hotplug: Make wait for dead cpu completion based cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu bring itself fully up arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu cpu/hotplug: Create hotplug threads cpu/hotplug: Split out the state walk into functions cpu/hotplug: Unpark smpboot threads from the state machine cpu/hotplug: Move scheduler cpu_online notifier to hotplug core cpu/hotplug: Implement setup/removal interface cpu/hotplug: Make target state writeable cpu/hotplug: Add sysfs state interface cpu/hotplug: Hand in target state to _cpu_up/down cpu/hotplug: Convert the hotplugged cpu work to a state machine cpu/hotplug: Convert to a state machine for the control processor cpu/hotplug: Add tracepoints ...

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.
