2020-01-24rcuperf: Add kfree_rcu() performance TestsJoel Fernandes (Google)1-0/+17
This test runs kfree_rcu() in a loop to measure performance of the new kfree_rcu() batching functionality. The following table shows results when booting with arguments: rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000 rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X # Grace Periods Test Duration (s) X=1 (old behavior) 9133 11.5 X=0 (new behavior) 1732 12.5 On a 16 CPU system with the above boot parameters, we see that the total number of grace periods that elapse during the test drops from 9133 when not batching to 1732 when batching (a 5X improvement). The kfree_rcu() flood itself slows down a bit when batching, though, as shown. Note that the active memory consumption during the kfree_rcu() flood does increase to around 200-250MB due to the batching (from around 50MB without batching). However, this memory consumption is relatively constant. In other words, the system is able to keep up with the kfree_rcu() load. The memory consumption comes down considerably if KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES is increased from HZ/50 to HZ/80. A later patch will reduce memory consumption further by using multiple lists. Also, when running the test, please disable CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PROVE_RCU for realistic comparisons with/without batching.

2020-01-22genirq, sched/isolation: Isolate from handling managed interruptsMing Lei1-1/+23
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts on the isolated CPU. Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding logic in the interrupt affinity selection code. The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that it should try to avoid the above scenario. This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU. If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues. If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the migration.

2020-01-20efi/x86: Limit EFI old memory map to SGI UV machinesArd Biesheuvel1-2/+1
We carry a quirk in the x86 EFI code to switch back to an older method of mapping the EFI runtime services memory regions, because it was deemed risky at the time to implement a new method without providing a fallback to the old method in case problems arose. Such problems did arise, but they appear to be limited to SGI UV1 machines, and so these are the only ones for which the fallback gets enabled automatically (via a DMI quirk). The fallback can be enabled manually as well, by passing efi=old_map, but there is very little evidence that suggests that this is something that is being relied upon in the field. Given that UV1 support is not enabled by default by the distros (Ubuntu, Fedora), there is no point in carrying this fallback code all the time if there are no other users. So let's move it into the UV support code, and document that efi=old_map now requires this support code to be enabled. Note that efi=old_map has been used in the past on other SGI UV machines to work around kernel regressions in production, so we keep the option to enable it by hand, but only if the kernel was built with UV support.

2020-01-10efi: Allow disabling PCI busmastering on bridges during bootMatthew Garrett1-1/+6
Add an option to disable the busmaster bit in the control register on all PCI bridges before calling ExitBootServices() and passing control to the runtime kernel. System firmware may configure the IOMMU to prevent malicious PCI devices from being able to attack the OS via DMA. However, since firmware can't guarantee that the OS is IOMMU-aware, it will tear down IOMMU configuration when ExitBootServices() is called. This leaves a window between where a hostile device could still cause damage before Linux configures the IOMMU again. If CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_PCI_DMA is enabled or "efi=disable_early_pci_dma" is passed on the command line, the EFI stub will clear the busmaster bit on all PCI bridges before ExitBootServices() is called. This will prevent any malicious PCI devices from being able to perform DMA until the kernel reenables busmastering after configuring the IOMMU. This option may cause failures with some poorly behaved hardware and should not be enabled without testing. The kernel commandline options "efi=disable_early_pci_dma" or "efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma" may be used to override the default. Note that PCI devices downstream from PCI bridges are disconnected from their drivers first, using the UEFI driver model API, so that DMA can be disabled safely at the bridge level.

2019-12-19ACPI: fan: Expose fan performance state informationSrinivas Pandruvada2-0/+63
When _FPS indicates variable speed fan support, the thermal cooling device for fan shows max performance state count as "max_state" (greater than or equal to 1). But the thermal cooling device doesn't expose the properties of each performance state. This is not enough for smart fan control user space software, which also considers speed, power and noise level. This change exposes the properties of the fan performance states in the sysfs directory of the ACPI device representing the fan, that is /sys/bus/acpi/devices/devices/INT3404:00 or /sys/bus/platform/devices/PNP0C0B:00.

2019-12-16mm: hugetlb controller for cgroups v2Giuseppe Scrivano1-0/+29
In the effort of supporting cgroups v2 into Kubernetes, I stumped on the lack of the hugetlb controller. When the controller is enabled, it exposes four new files for each hugetlb size on non-root cgroups: - hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.current - hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.max - hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.events - hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.events.local The differences with the legacy hierarchy are in the file names and using the value "max" instead of "-1" to disable a limit. The file .limit_in_bytes is renamed to .max. The file .usage_in_bytes is renamed to .current. .failcnt is not provided as a single file anymore, but its value can be read through the new flat-keyed files .events and .events.local, through the "max" key.

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler. - Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least (max_entries / 3) entries. This resolves userspace thin_check utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node". - Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data device has a volatile writeback cache. - Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity. * tag 'for-5.5/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: docs: dm-integrity: remove reference to ARC4 dm thin: Flush data device before committing metadata dm thin metadata: Add support for a pre-commit callback dm clone: Flush destination device before committing metadata dm clone metadata: Use a two phase commit dm clone metadata: Track exact changes per transaction dm btree: increase rebalance threshold in __rebalance2() dm: add dm-clone to the documentation index dm mpath: remove harmful bio-based optimization
