locking/lockdep: Disable cross-release features for now

2017-10-14T10:50:26Z

Johan Hovold reported a big lockdep slowdown on his system, caused by lockdep: > I had noticed that the BeagleBone Black boot time appeared to have > increased significantly with 4.14 and yesterday I finally had time to > investigate it. > > Boot time (from "Linux version" to login prompt) had in fact doubled > since 4.13 where it took 17 seconds (with my current config) compared to > the 35 seconds I now see with 4.14-rc4. > > I quick bisect pointed to lockdep and specifically the following commit: > > 28a903f63ec0 ("locking/lockdep: Handle non(or multi)-acquisition of a crosslock") Because the final v4.14 release is close, disable the cross-release lockdep features for now.

lib/Kconfig.debug: kernel hacking menu: runtime testing: keep tests together

2017-10-13T23:18:32Z

Expand the "Runtime testing" menu by including more entries inside it instead of after it. This is just Kconfig symbol movement. This causes the (arch-independent) Runtime tests to be presented (listed) all in one place instead of in multiple places.

parisc: Fix too large frame size warnings

2017-09-22T17:46:07Z

The parisc architecture has larger stack frames than most other architectures on 32-bit kernels. Increase the maximum allowed stack frame to 1280 bytes for parisc to avoid warnings in the do_sys_poll() and pat_memconfig() functions. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

lib: add test module for CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL

2017-09-09T01:26:49Z

Add a test module that allows testing that CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL works correctly, at least that it can catch invalid calls to virt_to_phys() against the non-linear kernel virtual address map.

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar: - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding. Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain. The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively: there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even with early versions. (knock on wood!) But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel measurably: With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads. The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems. Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make it the default unwinder on x86. See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details. - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to its removal.

kernel/watchdog: Prevent false positives with turbo modes

2017-08-18T10:35:02Z

The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup. The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period which leads to false positives. A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups, which is not desired. Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI. That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.
