2014-03-19cgroup: make cgrp_dfl_root mountableTejun Heo
cgrp_dfl_root will be used as the default unified hierarchy. This patch makes cgrp_dfl_root mountable by making the following changes. * cgroup_init_early() now initializes cgrp_dfl_root w/ CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR. The default hierarchy is always sane. * parse_cgroupfs_options() and cgroup_mount() are updated such that cgrp_dfl_root is mounted if sane_behavior is specified w/o any subsystems. * rebind_subsystems() now populates the root directory of cgrp_dfl_root. Note that the function still guarantees success of rebinding subsystems to cgrp_dfl_root. If populating fails while rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, it whines but ignores the error. * For backward compatibility, the default hierarchy shows up in /proc/$PID/cgroup only after it's explicitly mounted so that userland which doesn't make use of it doesn't see any change. * "current_css_set_cg_links" file of debug cgroup now treats the default hierarchy the same as other hierarchies. This is visible to userland. Given that it's for debug controller, this should be fine. * While at it, implement cgroup_on_dfl() which tests whether a give cgroup is on the default hierarchy or not. The above changes make cgrp_dfl_root mostly equivalent to other controllers but the actual unified hierarchy behaviors are not implemented yet. Let's plug child cgroup creation in cgrp_dfl_root from create_cgroup() for now. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

2014-03-19cgroup: rename cgroup_dummy_root and related namesTejun Heo
The dummy root will be repurposed to serve as the default unified hierarchy. Let's rename things in preparation. * s/cgroup_dummy_root/cgrp_dfl_root/ * s/cgroupfs_root/cgroup_root/ as we don't do fs part directly anymore * s/cgroup_root->top_cgroup/cgroup_root->cgrp/ for brevity This is pure rename.

2014-03-19cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to cgroupTejun Heo
cgroupfs_root->subsys_mask represents the controllers attached to the hierarchy. This patch moves the field to cgroup. Subsystem initialization and rebinding updates the top cgroup's subsys_mask. For !root cgroups, the subsys_mask bits are set from create_css() and cleared from kill_css(), which effectively means that all cgroups will have the same subsys_mask as the top cgroup. While this doesn't make any difference now, this will help implementation of the default unified hierarchy where !root cgroups may have subsets of the top_cgroup's subsys_mask. While at it, __kill_css() is split out of kill_css(). The former doesn't care about the subsys_mask while the latter becomes noop if the controller is already killed and clears the matching bit if not before proceeding to killing the css. This will be used later by the default unified hierarchy implementation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
2014-03-19cgroup: treat cgroup_dummy_root as an equivalent hierarchy during rebindingTejun Heo
Currently, while rebinding, cgroup_dummy_root serves as the anchor point. In addition to the target root, rebind_subsystems() takes @added_mask and @removed_mask. The subsystems specified in the former are expected to be on the dummy root and then moved to the target root. The ones in the latter are moved from non-dummy root to dummy. Now that the dummy root is a fully functional one and we're planning to use it for the default unified hierarchy, this level of distinction between dummy and non-dummy roots is quite awkward. This patch updates rebind_subsystems() to take the target root and one subsystem mask and move the specified subsystmes to the target root which may or may not be the dummy root. IOW, unbinding now becomes moving the subsystems to the dummy root and binding to non-dummy root. This makes the dummy root mostly equivalent to other hierarchies in terms of the mechanism of moving subsystems around; however, we still retain all the semantical restrictions so that this patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior differences. Another noteworthy detail is that rebind_subsystems() guarantees that moving a subsystem to the dummy root never fails so that valid unmounting attempts always succeed. This unifies binding and unbinding of subsystems. The invocation points of ->bind() were inconsistent between the two and now moved after whole rebinding is complete. This doesn't break the current users and generally makes more sense. All rebind_subsystems() users are converted accordingly. Note that cgroup_remount() now makes two calls to rebind_subsystems() to bind and then unbind the requested subsystems. This will allow repurposing of the dummy hierarchy as the default unified hierarchy and shouldn't make any userland visible behavior difference.

2014-03-19cgroup: use cgroup_setup_root() to initialize cgroup_dummy_rootTejun Heo
cgroup_dummy_root is used to host controllers which aren't attached to any other hierarchy. The root is minimally set up during kernfs bootstrap and didn't go through full hierarchy initialization. We're planning to use cgroup_dummy_root for the default unified hierarchy and thus want it to be fully functional. Replace the special initialization, which was collected into cgroup_init() by the previous patch, with an invocation of cgroup_setup_root(). This simplifies the init path and makes cgroup_dummy_root a full hierarchy with its own kernfs_root and all. As this puts the dummy hierarchy on the cgroup_roots list, rename for_each_active_root() to for_each_root() and update its users to skip the dummy root for now. This patch doesn't cause any userland visible behavior changes at this point. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
2014-03-19cgroup: reorganize cgroup bootstrappingTejun Heo
* Fields of init_css_set and css_set_count are now set using initializer instead of programmatically from cgroup_init_early(). * init_cgroup_root() now also takes @opts and performs the optional part of initialization too. The leftover part of cgroup_root_from_opts() is collapsed into its only caller - cgroup_mount(). * Initialization of cgroup_root_count and linking of init_css_set are moved from cgroup_init_early() to to cgroup_init(). None of the early_init users depends on init_css_set being linked. * Subsystem initializations are moved after dummy hierarchy init and init_css_set linking. These changes reorganize the bootstrap logic so that the dummy hierarchy can share the usual hierarchy init path and be made more normal. These changes don't make noticeable behavior changes.

2014-03-14genirq: Add a new IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED flagThomas Gleixner
The flag is necessary for interrupt chips which require an ACK/EOI after the handler has run. In case of threaded handlers this needs to happen after the threaded handler has completed before the unmask of the interrupt. The flag is only unseful in combination with the handle_fasteoi_irq flow control handler. It can be combined with the flag IRQCHIP_EOI_IF_HANDLED, so the EOI is not issued when the interrupt is disabled or in progress.

2014-03-13sched: Remove needless round trip nsecs <-> tick conversion of steal timeFrederic Weisbecker
When update_rq_clock_task() accounts the pending steal time for a task, it converts the steal delta from nsecs to tick then from tick to nsecs. There is no apparent good reason for doing that though because both the task clock and the prev steal delta are u64 and store values in nsecs. So lets remove the needless conversion.

2014-03-13cputime: Fix jiffies based cputime assumption on steal accountingFrederic Weisbecker
The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a value in nsecs. As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs. As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and same CPU. In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API. Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

2014-03-13Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULEMathieu Desnoyers
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded within a kernel supporting module signature. This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.

2014-03-12genirq: Provide irq_request/release_resources chip callbacksThomas Gleixner
For certain irq types, e.g. gpios, it's necessary to request resources before starting up the irq. This might fail so we cannot use the irq_startup() callback because we might call the irq_set_type() callback before that which does not make sense when the resource is not available. Calling irq_startup() before irq_set_type() can lead to spurious interrupts which is not desired either.

OK, so commit: 1d8fe7dc8078 ("locking/mutexes: Unlock the mutex without the wait_lock") generates this boot warning when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 139 at /usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c:82 debug_mutex_unlock+0x155/0x180() DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current) And that makes sense, because as soon as we release the lock a new owner can come in... One would think that !__mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock() implementations suffer the same, but for DEBUG we fall back to mutex-null.h which has an unconditional 1 for that.

2014-03-12sched: Fix broken setscheduler()Steven Rostedt
I decided to run my tests on linux-next, and my wakeup_rt tracer was broken. After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was: linux-next commit c365c292d059 "sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()" And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found: - p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p); - p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p); With no + p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p); + p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p); Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority. The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called, otherwise the class wont be changed. Also added fix to newprio to include a check for deadline policy that was missing.

2014-03-11locking/mutexes: Unlock the mutex without the wait_lockJason Low
When running workloads that have high contention in mutexes on an 8 socket machine, mutex spinners would often spin for a long time with no lock owner. The main reason why this is occuring is in __mutex_unlock_common_slowpath(), if __mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock(), then the owner needs to acquire the mutex->wait_lock before releasing the mutex (setting lock->count to 1). When the wait_lock is contended, this delays the mutex from being released. We should be able to release the mutex without holding the wait_lock.

2014-03-11locking/mutexes: Modify the way optimistic spinners are queuedJason Low
The mutex->spin_mlock was introduced in order to ensure that only 1 thread spins for lock acquisition at a time to reduce cache line contention. When lock->owner is NULL and the lock->count is still not 1, the spinner(s) will continually release and obtain the lock->spin_mlock. This can generate quite a bit of overhead/contention, and also might just delay the spinner from getting the lock. This patch modifies the way optimistic spinners are queued by queuing before entering the optimistic spinning loop as oppose to acquiring before every call to mutex_spin_on_owner(). So in situations where the spinner requires a few extra spins before obtaining the lock, then there will only be 1 spinner trying to get the lock and it will avoid the overhead from unnecessarily unlocking and locking the spin_mlock.

2014-03-11locking: Move mcs_spinlock.h into kernel/locking/Peter Zijlstra
The mcs_spinlock code is not meant (or suitable) as a generic locking primitive, therefore take it away from the normal includes and place it in kernel/locking/. This way the locking primitives implemented there can use it as part of their implementation but we do not risk it getting used inapropriately.

2014-03-11sched/core: Fix endless loop in pick_next_task()Kirill Tkhai
1) Single cpu machine case. When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked because of throttling, we enter in endless loop. pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL. In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running) return RETRY_TASK; (rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes throttled). No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here, because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are disabled. 2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled. The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT classes instead of checking for sum.

2014-03-11sched/rt: Fix picking RT and DL tasks from empty queueKirill Tkhai
The problems: 1) We check for rt_nr_running before call of put_prev_task(). If previous task is RT, its rt_rq may become throttled and dequeued after this call. In case of p is from rt->rq this just causes picking a task from throttled queue, but in case of its rt_rq is child we are guaranteed catch BUG_ON. 2) The same with deadline class. The only difference we operate on only dl_rq. This patch fixes all the above problems and it adds a small skip in the DL update like we've already done for RT class: if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0)) return; This will optimize sequential update_curr_dl() calls a little.
