locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data races

2020-01-12T11:21:13Z

[ Upstream commit 1a365e822372ba24c9da0822bc583894f6f3d821 ] This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN, it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports, suggesting these are extremely frequent. Example data race report: read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2: debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline] do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112 __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline] _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline] get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873 get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline] write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3: debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline] do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138 __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191 spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline] free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214 __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864 As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug -> KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock -> deadlock. This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging together with KCSAN. Reported-by: Qian Cai Signed-off-by: Marco Elver Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

Revert "locking/pvqspinlock: Don't wait if vCPU is preempted"

2019-09-25T08:22:37Z

This patch reverts commit 75437bb304b20 (locking/pvqspinlock: Don't wait if vCPU is preempted). A large performance regression was caused by this commit. on over-subscription scenarios. The test was run on a Xeon Skylake box, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads, with three VMs of 80 vCPUs each. The score of ebizzy -M is reduced from 13000-14000 records/s to 1700-1800 records/s: Host Guest score vanilla w/o kvm optimizations upstream 1700-1800 records/s vanilla w/o kvm optimizations revert 13000-14000 records/s vanilla w/ kvm optimizations upstream 4500-5000 records/s vanilla w/ kvm optimizations revert 14000-15500 records/s Exit from aggressive wait-early mechanism can result in premature yield and extra scheduling latency. Actually, only 6% of wait_early events are caused by vcpu_is_preempted() being true. However, when one vCPU voluntarily releases its vCPU, all the subsequently waiters in the queue will do the same and the cascading effect leads to bad performance. kvm optimizations: [1] commit d73eb57b80b (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts) [2] commit 266e85a5ec9 (KVM: X86: Boost queue head vCPU to mitigate lock waiter preemption) Tested-by: loobinliu@tencent.com Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Waiman Long Cc: Paolo Bonzini Cc: Radim Krčmář Cc: loobinliu@tencent.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 75437bb304b20 (locking/pvqspinlock: Don't wait if vCPU is preempted) Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

Add Dietmar Eggemann, Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers. As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex, document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests, and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc: linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-) - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches to go though. - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage. - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS). - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints. - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present. - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality. - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's being offlined. - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization. Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken before. - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more optimal. - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath. - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems. - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see the Git log for more details. * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (53 commits) sched/psi: Correct overly pessimistic size calculation sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values sched/uclamp: Update CPU's refcount on TG's clamp changes sched/uclamp: Use TG's clamps to restrict TASK's clamps sched/uclamp: Propagate system defaults to the root group sched/uclamp: Propagate parent clamps sched/uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller sched/topology: Improve load balancing on AMD EPYC systems arch, ia64: Make NUMA select SMP sched, perf: MAINTAINERS update, add submaintainers and reviewers sched/fair: Use rq_lock/unlock in online_fair_sched_group cpufreq: schedutil: fix equation in comment sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path sched: Allow put_prev_task() to drop rq->lock sched/fair: Expose newidle_balance() sched: Add task_struct pointer to sched_class::set_curr_task sched: Rework CPU hotplug task selection sched/{rt,deadline}: Fix set_next_task vs pick_next_task sched: Fix kerneldoc comment for ia64_set_curr_task ...

mutex: Fix up mutex_waiter usage

2019-08-08T07:09:25Z

The patch moving bits into mutex.c was a little too much; by also moving struct mutex_waiter a few less common CONFIGs would no longer build. Fixes: 5f35d5a66b3e ("locking/mutex: Make __mutex_owner static to mutex.c") Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

locking/mutex: Make __mutex_owner static to mutex.c

2019-08-06T10:49:16Z

__mutex_owner() should only be used by the mutex api's. So, to put this restiction let's move the __mutex_owner() function definition from linux/mutex.h to mutex.c file. There exist functions that uses __mutex_owner() like mutex_is_locked() and mutex_trylock_recursive(), So to keep legacy thing intact move them as well and export them. Move mutex_waiter structure also to keep it private to the file.

locking/rwsem: Check for operations on an uninitialized rwsem

2019-08-06T10:49:15Z

Currently rwsems is the only locking primitive that lacks this debug feature. Add it under CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS and do the magic checking in the locking fastpath (trylock) operation such that we cover all cases. The unlocking part is pretty straightforward.

locking/rwsem: Make handoff writer optimistically spin on owner

2019-08-06T10:49:15Z

When the handoff bit is set by a writer, no other tasks other than the setting writer itself is allowed to acquire the lock. If the to-be-handoff'ed writer goes to sleep, there will be a wakeup latency period where the lock is free, but no one can acquire it. That is less than ideal. To reduce that latency, the handoff writer will now optimistically spin on the owner if it happens to be a on-cpu writer. It will spin until it releases the lock and the to-be-handoff'ed writer can then acquire the lock immediately without any delay. Of course, if the owner is not a on-cpu writer, the to-be-handoff'ed writer will have to sleep anyway. The optimistic spinning code is also modified to not stop spinning when the handoff bit is set. This will prevent an occasional setting of handoff bit from causing a bunch of optimistic spinners from entering into the wait queue causing significant reduction in throughput. On a 1-socket 22-core 44-thread Skylake system, the AIM7 shared_memory workload was run with 7000 users. The throughput (jobs/min) of the following kernels were as follows: 1) 5.2-rc6 - 8,092,486 2) 5.2-rc6 + tip's rwsem patches - 7,567,568 3) 5.2-rc6 + tip's rwsem patches + this patch - 7,954,545 Using perf-record(1), the %cpu time used by rwsem_down_write_slowpath(), rwsem_down_write_failed() and their callees for the 3 kernels were 1.70%, 5.46% and 2.08% respectively.
