2013-09-25sched, x86: Optimize the preempt_schedule() callPeter Zijlstra1-8/+5
Remove the bloat of the C calling convention out of the preempt_enable() sites by creating an ASM wrapper which allows us to do an asm("call ___preempt_schedule") instead. calling.h bits by Andi Kleen Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-tk7xdi1cvvxewixzke8t8le1@git.kernel.org [ Fixed build error. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-09-25sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiersPeter Zijlstra1-58/+48
Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic preempt_count value modifiers: __preempt_count_add() __preempt_count_sub() and the new: __preempt_count_dec_and_test() And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional $op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op. Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace() variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

2013-09-25sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_countPeter Zijlstra1-5/+42
In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value. Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into preempt_count; namely: - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from there. - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling(). We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means both need_resched and !atomic. Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched() already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

Because the function tracer does a preempt_disable/enable_notrace() calls the preempt_enable_notrace() checks the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it is set, then preempt_schedule() is called. But this is called before the user_exit() function can inform the kernel that the CPU is no longer in user mode and needs to be accounted for by RCU. The fix is to create a new preempt_schedule_context() that checks if the kernel is still in user mode and if so to switch it to kernel mode before calling schedule. It also switches back to user mode coming back from schedule in need be. The only user of this currently is the preempt_enable_notrace(), which is only used by the tracing subsystem.

2013-04-09spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriersLinus Torvalds1-8/+14
In UP and non-preempt respectively, the spinlocks and preemption disable/enable points are stubbed out entirely, because there is no regular code that can ever hit the kind of concurrency they are meant to protect against. However, while there is no regular code that can cause scheduling, we _do_ end up having some exceptional (literally!) code that can do so, and that we need to make sure does not ever get moved into the critical region by the compiler. In particular, get_user() and put_user() is generally implemented as inline asm statements (even if the inline asm may then make a call instruction to call out-of-line), and can obviously cause a page fault and IO as a result. If that inline asm has been scheduled into the middle of a preemption-safe (or spinlock-protected) code region, we obviously lose. Now, admittedly this is *very* unlikely to actually ever happen, and we've not seen examples of actual bugs related to this. But partly exactly because it's so hard to trigger and the resulting bug is so subtle, we should be extra careful to get this right. So make sure that even when preemption is disabled, and we don't have to generate any actual *code* to explicitly tell the system that we are in a preemption-disabled region, we need to at least tell the compiler not to move things around the critical region. This patch grew out of the same discussion that caused commits 79e5f05edcbf ("ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions") and 3e2e0d2c222b ("tile: comment assumption about __insn_mtspr for <asm/irqflags.h>") to come about. Note for stable: use discretion when/if applying this. As mentioned, this bug may never have actually bitten anybody, and gcc may never have done the required code motion for it to possibly ever trigger in practice.

2012-03-01sched/rt: Document scheduler related skip-resched-check sitesThomas Gleixner1-1/+4
Create a distinction between scheduler related preempt_enable_no_resched() calls and the nearly one hundred other places in the kernel that do not want to reschedule, for one reason or another. This distinction matters for -rt, where the scheduler and the non-scheduler preempt models (and checks) are different. For upstream it's purely documentational.

2011-06-10sched: Isolate preempt counting in its own config optionFrederic Weisbecker1-9/+17
Create a new CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT that handles the inc/dec of preempt count offset independently. So that the offset can be updated by preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() even without the need for CONFIG_PREEMPT beeing set. This prepares to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP working with !CONFIG_PREEMPT where it currently doesn't detect code that sleeps inside explicit preemption disabled sections.

498657a478c60be092208422fefa9c7b248729c2 incorrectly assumed that preempt wasn't disabled around context_switch() and thus was fixing imaginary problem. It also broke KVM because it depended on ->sched_in() to be called with irq enabled so that it can do smp calls from there.

2008-05-23ftrace: trace preempt off critical timingsSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar. This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected to be recorded. When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings. One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off. By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

2008-05-23ftrace: add preempt_enable/disable notrace macrosSteven Rostedt1-0/+32
The tracer may need to call preempt_enable and disable functions for time keeping and such. The trace gets ugly when we see these functions show up for all traces. To make the output cleaner this patch adds preempt_enable_notrace and preempt_disable_notrace to be used by tracer (and debugging) functions.

2005-12-22[PATCH] fix race with preempt_enable()Nicolas Pitre1-0/+1
Currently a simple void foo(void) { preempt_enable(); } produces the following code on ARM: foo: bic r3, sp, #8128 bic r3, r3, #63 ldr r2, [r3, #4] ldr r1, [r3, #0] sub r2, r2, #1 tst r1, #4 str r2, [r3, #4] blne preempt_schedule mov pc, lr The problem is that the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is loaded _before_ the preemption count is stored back, hence any interrupt coming within that 3 instruction window causing TIF_NEED_RESCHED to be set won't be seen and scheduling won't happen as it should. Nothing currently prevents gcc from performing that reordering. There is already a barrier() before the decrement of the preemption count, but another one is needed between this and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag test for proper code ordering.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
