proc: speed up /proc/*/statm

2020-04-07T17:43:42Z

top(1) reads all /proc/*/statm files but kernel threads will always have zeros. Print those zeroes directly without going through seq_put_decimal_ull(). Speed up reading /proc/2/statm (which is kthreadd) is like 3%. My system has more kernel threads than normal processes after booting KDE.

time: Rename tsk->real_start_time to ->start_boottime

2019-11-13T10:09:49Z

Since it stores CLOCK_BOOTTIME, not, as the name suggests, CLOCK_REALTIME, let's rename ->real_start_time to ->start_bootime. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by Dietmar Eggemann. - Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes. - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various power management features, including energy aware scheduling. - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior. - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the Git log for details. * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (33 commits) sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute() sched/uclamp: Add uclamp_util_with() sched/cpufreq, sched/uclamp: Add clamps for FAIR and RT tasks sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks sched/uclamp: Reset uclamp values on RESET_ON_FORK sched/uclamp: Extend sched_setattr() to support utilization clamping sched/core: Allow sched_setattr() to use the current policy sched/uclamp: Add system default clamps sched/uclamp: Enforce last task's UCLAMP_MAX sched/uclamp: Add bucket local max tracking sched/uclamp: Add CPU's clamp buckets refcounting sched/fair: Rename weighted_cpuload() to cpu_runnable_load() sched/debug: Export the newly added tracepoints sched/debug: Add sched_overutilized tracepoint sched/debug: Add new tracepoint to track PELT at se level sched/debug: Add new tracepoints to track PELT at rq level sched/debug: Add a new sched_trace_*() helper functions sched/autogroup: Make autogroup_path() always available sched/wait: Deduplicate code with do-while sched/topology: Remove unused 'sd' parameter from arch_scale_cpu_capacity() ...

fs/proc/array.c: allow reporting eip/esp for all coredumping threads

2019-06-29T08:43:44Z

0a1eb2d474ed ("fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat") stopped reporting eip/esp and fd7d56270b52 ("fs/proc: Report eip/esp in /prod/PID/stat for coredumping") reintroduced the feature to fix a regression with userspace core dump handlers (such as minicoredumper). Because PF_DUMPCORE is only set for the primary thread, this didn't fix the original problem for secondary threads. Allow reporting the eip/esp for all threads by checking for PF_EXITING as well. This is set for all the other threads when they are killed. coredump_wait() waits for all the tasks to become inactive before proceeding to invoke a core dumper.

sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask

2019-06-03T09:49:37Z

In commit: 4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper") the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched. As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use: struct task_struct { const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr; cpumask_t cpus_mask; }; with t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask; In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to: t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p)); in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple: - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer. - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

mm, proc: report PR_SET_THP_DISABLE in proc

2018-12-28T20:11:50Z

David Rientjes has reported that commit 1860033237d4 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we report THPable VMAs to the userspace. Their monitoring tool is triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp. memory pressure issue. Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc//smaps file. This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for the process wide THP enabled/disabled status. PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to export in the process wide context rather than per-vma. Introduce a new field to /proc//status which export this status. If PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is not compiled in. It doesn't consider the global THP status because we already export that information via sysfs Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181211143641.3503-4-mhocko@kernel.org Fixes: 1860033237d4 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka Reported-by: David Rientjes Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Jan Kara Cc: Mike Rapoport Cc: Paul Oppenheimer Cc: William Kucharski Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
