sched/rt: Fix rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning

[ Upstream commit d29a20645d5e929aa7e8616f28e5d8e1c49263ec ] While running rt-tests' pi_stress program I got the following splat: rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP WARNING: CPU: 27 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:960 assert_clock_updated.isra.38.part.39+0x13/0x20 [...] enqueue_top_rt_rq+0xf4/0x150 ? cpufreq_dbs_governor_start+0x170/0x170 sched_rt_rq_enqueue+0x65/0x80 sched_rt_period_timer+0x156/0x360 ? sched_rt_rq_enqueue+0x80/0x80 __hrtimer_run_queues+0xfa/0x260 hrtimer_interrupt+0xcb/0x220 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x62/0x120 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 [...] do_idle+0x183/0x1e0 cpu_startup_entry+0x5f/0x70 start_secondary+0x192/0x1d0 secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0 We can get rid of it be the "traditional" means of adding an update_rq_clock() call after acquiring the rq->lock in do_sched_rt_period_timer(). The case for the RT task throttling (which this workload also hits) can be ignored in that the skip_update call is actually bogus and quite the contrary (the request bits are removed/reverted). By setting RQCF_UPDATED we really don't care if the skip is happening or not and will therefore make the assert_clock_updated() check happy.

However, other parts of RCU can tolerate resched_cpu() acting as a no-op, at least as long as it doesn't happen too often. This commit therefore makes resched_cpu() invoke resched_curr() only if the CPU is either online or is the current CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

sched/deadline: Use deadline instead of period when calculating overflow

2017-12-20T09:01:30Z

[ Upstream commit 2317d5f1c34913bac5971d93d69fb6c31bb74670 ] I was testing Daniel's changes with his test case, and tweaked it a little. Instead of having the runtime equal to the deadline, I increased the deadline ten fold. Daniel's test case had: attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */ attr.sched_deadline = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */ attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */ To make it more interesting, I changed it to: attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */ attr.sched_deadline = 20 * 1000 * 1000; /* 20 ms */ attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */ The results were rather surprising. The behavior that Daniel's patch was fixing came back. The task started using much more than .1% of the CPU. More like 20%. Looking into this I found that it was due to the dl_entity_overflow() constantly returning true. That's because it uses the relative period against relative runtime vs the absolute deadline against absolute runtime. runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_period There's even a comment mentioning this, and saying that when relative deadline equals relative period, that the equation is the same as using deadline instead of period. That comment is backwards! What we really want is: runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_deadline We care about if the runtime can make its deadline, not its period. And then we can say "when the deadline equals the period, the equation is the same as using dl_period instead of dl_deadline". After correcting this, now when the task gets enqueued, it can throttle correctly, and Daniel's fix to the throttling of sleeping deadline tasks works even when the runtime and deadline are not the same.

sched: Make resched_cpu() unconditional

2017-11-30T08:35:48Z

commit 7c2102e56a3f7d85b5d8f33efbd7aecc1f36fdd8 upstream. The current implementation of synchronize_sched_expedited() incorrectly assumes that resched_cpu() is unconditional, which it is not. This means that synchronize_sched_expedited() can hang when resched_cpu()'s trylock fails as follows (analysis by Neeraj Upadhyay): o CPU1 is waiting for expedited wait to complete: sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus rdp->exp_dynticks_snap & 0x1 // returns 1 for CPU5 IPI sent to CPU5 synchronize_sched_expedited_wait ret = swait_event_timeout(rsp->expedited_wq, sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done(rnp_root), jiffies_stall); expmask = 0x20, CPU 5 in idle path (in cpuidle_enter()) o CPU5 handles IPI and fails to acquire rq lock. Handles IPI sync_sched_exp_handler resched_cpu returns while failing to try lock acquire rq->lock need_resched is not set o CPU5 calls rcu_idle_enter() and as need_resched is not set, goes to idle (schedule() is not called). o CPU 1 reports RCU stall. Given that resched_cpu() is now used only by RCU, this commit fixes the assumption by making resched_cpu() unconditional.

sched/topology: Fix overlapping sched_group_mask

2017-07-21T06:12:23Z

commit 73bb059f9b8a00c5e1bf2f7ca83138c05d05e600 upstream. The point of sched_group_mask is to select those CPUs from sched_group_cpus that can actually arrive at this balance domain. The current code gets it wrong, as can be readily demonstrated with a topology like: node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 20 30 20 1: 20 10 20 30 2: 30 20 10 20 3: 20 30 20 10 Where (for example) domain 1 on CPU1 ends up with a mask that includes CPU0: [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain: [] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA [] groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0 [] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA [] groups: 0-2 (mask: 0-2) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072) This causes sched_balance_cpu() to compute the wrong CPU and consequently should_we_balance() will terminate early resulting in missed load-balance opportunities. The fixed topology looks like: [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain: [] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA [] groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0 [] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA [] groups: 0-2 (mask: 1) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072) (note: this relies on OVERLAP domains to always have children, this is true because the regular topology domains are still here -- this is before degenerate trimming) Debugged-by: Lauro Ramos Venancio Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e3589f6c81e4 ("sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans") Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched: panic on corrupted stack end

commit 29d6455178a09e1dc340380c582b13356227e8df upstream. Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info). Just panic directly.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage

2017-04-30T03:49:15Z

commit 86038c5ea81b519a8a1fcfcd5e4599aab0cdd119 upstream. Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.

sched/core: Fix a race between try_to_wake_up() and a woken up task

2016-10-06T02:40:20Z

[ Upstream commit 135e8c9250dd5c8c9aae5984fde6f230d0cbfeaf ] The origin of the issue I've seen is related to a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and the check for task->on_rq. The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule() and is doing the following: do { schedule() set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE); } while (!cond); The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in try_to_wake_up(): while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax(); Analysis: The instance I've seen involves the following race: CPU1 CPU2 while () { if (cond) break; do { schedule(); set_current_state(TASK_UN..) } while (!cond); wakeup_routine() spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process() } try_to_wake_up() set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); .. list_del(&waiter.list); CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs: CPU3 wakeup_routine() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) if (!list_empty) wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock) .. if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup()) .. while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax() .. CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately after CPU2, CPU3 got it. CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis, but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible (based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not done uder the pi_lock. The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely Reproduction of the issue: The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80 threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far. Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.

kernel/sysrq, watchdog, sched/core: Reset watchdog on all CPUs while processing sysrq-w

2016-07-12T12:46:50Z

[ Upstream commit 57675cb976eff977aefb428e68e4e0236d48a9ff ] Lengthy output of sysrq-w may take a lot of time on slow serial console. Currently we reset NMI-watchdog on the current CPU to avoid spurious lockup messages. Sometimes this doesn't work since softlockup watchdog might trigger on another CPU which is waiting for an IPI to proceed. We reset softlockup watchdogs on all CPUs, but we do this only after listing all tasks, and this may be too late on a busy system. So, reset watchdogs CPUs earlier, in for_each_process_thread() loop.
