Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of activity:
211 files changed, 8328 insertions(+), 4116 deletions(-)
most of it on the tooling side.
Main changes:
* ftrace enhancements and fixes from Steve Rostedt.
* uprobes fixes, cleanups and preparation for the ARM port from Oleg
Nesterov.
* UAPI fixes, from David Howels - prepares the arch/x86 UAPI
transition
* Separate perf tests into multiple objects, one per test, from Jiri
Olsa.
* Make hardware event translations available in sysfs, from Jiri
Olsa.
* Fixes to /proc/pid/maps parsing, preparatory to supporting data
maps, from Namhyung Kim
* Implement ui_progress for GTK, from Namhyung Kim
* Add framework for automated perf_event_attr tests, where tools with
different command line options will be run from a 'perf test', via
python glue, and the perf syscall will be intercepted to verify
that the perf_event_attr fields set by the tool are those expected,
from Jiri Olsa
* Add a 'link' method for hists, so that we can have the leader with
buckets for all the entries in all the hists. This new method is
now used in the default 'diff' output, making the sum of the
'baseline' column be 100%, eliminating blind spots.
* libtraceevent fixes for compiler warnings trying to make perf it
build on some distros, like fedora 14, 32-bit, some of the warnings
really pointed to real bugs.
* Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the
report and annotate browsers. It does filtering to find the
scripts that handle events found in the perf.data file used. From
Feng Tang
* perf inject changes to allow showing where a task sleeps, from
Andrew Vagin.
* Makefile improvements from Namhyung Kim.
* Add --pre and --post command hooks in 'stat', from Peter Zijlstra.
* Don't stop synthesizing threads when one vanishes, this is for the
existing threads when we start a tool like trace.
* Use sched:sched_stat_runtime to provide a thread summary, this
produces the same output as the 'trace summary' subcommand of
tglx's original "trace" tool.
* Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'
* Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.
* There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to
build Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is
not possible, from Borislav Petkov.

Pull RCU update from Ingo Molnar:
"The major features of this tree are:
1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs. This version prohibits
offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
for prime time. These commits were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724.
2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
structures. These commits were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296.
3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output. These commits were posted
to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341.
4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327.
Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.
5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
their expedited equivalents. These were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739.
6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315.
The most notable change reduces the
default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.
7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280.
A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and

various subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.
If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them

Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running
on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new
node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until
it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are
trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care
about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node.
This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow
start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This
will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings
early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load
balancing to take place.

The "mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing"
depends on scheduling debug being enabled but it's perfectly legimate to

This patch adds Kconfig options and kernel parameters to allow the
enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing. The existance
of such a switch was and is very important when debugging problems
related to transparent hugepages and we should have the same for
automatic NUMA placement.

The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of
system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement. Ideally a proper policy
would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the
PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information
to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not.
This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a
NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is
now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset
the scanner in case of phase changes.
This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will
converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able
to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have
no need for automatic balancing.

Currently the rate of scanning for an address space is controlled
by the individual tasks. The next scan is simply determined by
2*p->numa_scan_period.
The 2*p->numa_scan_period is arbitrary and never changes. At this point
there is still no proper policy that decides if a task or process is
properly placed. It just scans and assumes the next NUMA fault will
place it properly. As it is assumed that pages will get properly placed
over time, increase the scan window each time a fault is incurred. This
is a big assumption as noted in the comments.
It should be noted that changing to p->numa_scan_period will increase
system CPU usage because now the scanning rate has effectively doubled.
If that is a problem then the min_rate should be made 200ms instead of
restoring the 2* logic.

If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them
are resulting in migrations it may indicate that memory is just
bouncing uselessly around. NUMA balancing cost is likely exceeding
any benefit from locality. Rate limit the PTE updates if the node
is migration rate-limited. As noted in the comments, this distorts
the NUMA faulting statistics.

Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of
a task and starting to balance it amongst nodes.
[ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch
the initial scan would happen much later still, in effect that
patch caused this regression. ]
The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA
placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node
they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs
and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so
does it start to matter more and more.
In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression:
# [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ]
!NUMA:
45.291088843 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.40% )
45.154231752 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36% )
+NUMA, no slow start:
46.172308123 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% )
46.343168745 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% )
+NUMA, 1 sec slow start:
45.224189155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% )
45.160866532 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.17% )
and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression:
# perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging
-NUMA:
-NUMA: 0.246225691 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.31% )
+NUMA no slow start: 0.252620063 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.13% )
+NUMA 1sec delay: 0.248076230 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.35% )
The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch
deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms tunable
knob.

Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use
a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address
space PROT_NONE.
That method has various (obvious) disadvantages:
- it samples the working set at dissimilar rates,
giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage
over others.
- creates performance problems for tasks with very
large working sets
- over-samples processes with large address spaces but
which only very rarely execute
Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the
address space that marks the current position of the scan,
and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution
proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped
address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first
address.
The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree
allows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling
of the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that
goes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds. The current
sampling volume is 256 MB per interval.
As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the
sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8
seconds of CPU time executed.
This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely
executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded
systems.
[ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling
rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is
currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally
single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread,
so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with
the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution
proportional manner.
So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented
in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes
beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional
working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single
global scanning daemon. ]
[ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the
first version of this patch. ]

NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven
placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy
to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by.
This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the
context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the
node the CPU is running on. In itself this does nothing useful but any
placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement
from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be
certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch
dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on
endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four
bytes.
Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right
order without padding.

Norbert reported:
"3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or
offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical
system."
The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline
code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non
initialized data structures.
Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
"So, safe fixes my ass.
Commit 8852aac25e79 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
use cases.
Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly
wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for
struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
save some bytes.
Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
but I think we better do that after 3.7.
I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are
more such abuses."

workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s
megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work
|
|
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().
Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().
Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix
BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the
machine.

when we call cgroup_remount to remount the cgroup,the subsystem
may be unlinked from cgroupfs_root->subsys_list in rebind_subsystem,this
subsystem's files will not be removed in cgroup_clear_directroy.
And the system will panic when we try to access these files.
this patch removes subsystems's files before rebind_subsystems,
if rebind_subsystems failed, repopulate these removed files.

Pull the latest RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney:
" The major features of this series are:
1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs. This version prohibits
offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
for prime time. These commits were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724, and are at branch rcu/nocb.
2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
structures. These commits were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296, and are at branch rcu/srcu.
3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output. These commits were posted
to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341, and are at
branch rcu/tracing.
4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327, and are at branch rcu/hotplug.
Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.
5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
their expedited equivalents. These were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739, and are at branch rcu/idle.
6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315, and
are at branch rcu/stall. The most notable change reduces the
default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.
7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280, and are at branch rcu/doc.
A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at

Recently, workqueue code has gone through some changes and we found
some bugs related to concurrency management operations happening on
the wrong CPU. When a worker is concurrency managed
(!WORKER_NOT_RUNNIG), it should be bound to its associated cpu and
woken up to that cpu. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to verify this.

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's
pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified
as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file),
as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity
check.
The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it.
If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read
the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading
the file.
The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page
before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers
require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise
it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer.
By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from
happening.

The function rb_set_head_page() searches the list of ring buffer
pages for a the page that has the HEAD page flag set. If it does
not find it, it will do a WARN_ON(), disable the ring buffer and
return NULL, as this should never happen.
But if this bug happens to happen, not all callers of this function
can handle a NULL pointer being returned from it. That needs to be
fixed.

If everything goes right, it shouldn't really matter if we are spitting

there are some ill cases where we would previously see the message and
now we won't (like if the files fail to be created).
