Doing this matches the natural type of 'int' based calculus in sched_rt_handler(), and also enables the adding in of a correct upper bounds check on the sysctl interface.

find_new_ilb() returns nr_cpu_ids on failure - which is the usual cpumask bitops return pattern, but is weird & unnecessary in this context: not only is it a global variable, it it is a +1 out of bounds CPU index and also has different signedness ... Its only user, kick_ilb(), then checks the return against nr_cpu_ids to decide to return. There's no other use. So instead of this, use a standard -1 return on failure to find an idle CPU, as the argument is signed already.

Commit bf5835bc ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle") disables IBRS when the cstate is 6 or lower. However, there are some use cases where a customer may want to use max_cstate=1 to lower latency. Such use cases will suffer from the performance degradation caused by the enabling of IBRS in the sibling idle thread. Add a "ibrs_off" module parameter to force disable IBRS and the CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE flag if set. In the case of a Skylake server with max_cstate=1, this new ibrs_off option will likely increase the IRQ response latency as IRQ will now be disabled. When running SPECjbb2015 with cstates set to C1 on a Skylake system. First test when the kernel is booted with: "intel_idle.ibrs_off": max-jOPS = 117828, critical-jOPS = 66047 Then retest when the kernel is booted without the "intel_idle.ibrs_off" added: max-jOPS = 116408, critical-jOPS = 58958 That means booting with "intel_idle.ibrs_off" improves performance by: max-jOPS: +1.2%, which could be considered noise range. critical-jOPS: +12%, which is definitely a solid improvement. The admin-guide/pm/intel_idle.rst file is updated to add a description about the new "ibrs_off" module parameter.

When intel_idle_ibrs() is called, it modifies the SPEC_CTRL MSR to 0 in order disable IBRS. However, the new MSR value isn't reflected in x86_spec_ctrl_current which is at odd with the other code that keep track of its state in that percpu variable. Use the new __update_spec_ctrl() to have the x86_spec_ctrl_current percpu value properly updated. Since spec-ctrl.h includes both msr.h and nospec-branch.h, we can remove those from the include file list.

Commit bf5835bc ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle") disables IBRS when the CPU enters long idle. However, when a CPU becomes offline, the IBRS bit is still set when X86_FEATURE_KERNEL_IBRS is enabled. That will impact the performance of a sibling CPU. Mitigate this performance impact by clearing all the mitigation bits in SPEC_CTRL MSR when offline. When the CPU is online again, it will be re-initialized and so restoring the SPEC_CTRL value isn't needed. Add a comment to say that native_play_dead() is a __noreturn function, but it can't be marked as such to avoid confusion about the missing MSR restoration code. When DPDK is running on an isolated CPU thread processing network packets in user space while its sibling thread is idle. The performance of the busy DPDK thread with IBRS on and off in the sibling idle thread are: IBRS on IBRS off ------- -------- packets/second: 7.8M 10.4M avg tsc cycles/packet: 282.26 209.86 This is a 25% performance degradation.

When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update. When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max, and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq would keep the max_freq. For example: The cpu7 is a single CPU: unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done& [1] 4737 unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737 pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80 unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq 2301000 unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq 2301000 unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 > scaling_max_freq unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq 2171000 At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which is wrong. To fix this, add a check for the ->need_freq_update flag.

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case. Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this property the value returned is slightly left of the true average. However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.

Both glibc and musl define 'struct sched_param' in sched.h, while kernel has it in uapi/linux/sched/types.h, making it cumbersome to use sched_getattr(2) or sched_setattr(2) from userspace. For example, something like this: #include <sched.h> #include <linux/sched/types.h> struct sched_attr sa; will result in "error: redefinition of ‘struct sched_param’" (note the code doesn't need sched_param at all -- it needs struct sched_attr plus some stuff from sched.h). The situation is, glibc is not going to provide a wrapper for sched_{get,set}attr, thus the need to include linux/sched_types.h directly, which leads to the above problem. Thus, the userspace is left with a few sub-par choices when it wants to use e.g. sched_setattr(2), such as maintaining a copy of struct sched_attr definition, or using some other ugly tricks. OTOH, 'struct sched_param' is well known, defined in POSIX, and it won't be ever changed (as that would break backward compatibility). So, while 'struct sched_param' is indeed part of the kernel uapi, exposing it the way it's done now creates an issue, and hiding it (like this patch does) fixes that issue, hopefully without creating another one: common userspace software rely on libc headers, and as for "special" software (like libc), it looks like glibc and musl do not rely on kernel headers for 'struct sched_param' definition (but let's Cc their mailing lists in case it's otherwise). The alternative to this patch would be to move struct sched_attr to, say, linux/sched.h, or linux/sched/attr.h (the new file). Oh, and here is the previous attempt to fix the issue: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200528135552.GA87103@google.com/ While I support Linus arguments, the issue is still here and needs to be fixed. [ mingo: Linus is right, this shouldn't be needed - but on the other hand I agree that this header is not really helpful to user-space as-is. So let's pretend that <uapi/linux/sched/types.h> is only about sched_attr, and call this commit a workaround for user-space breakage that it in reality is ... Also, remove the Fixes tag. ] Signed-off-by: Kir Kolyshkin <kolyshkin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230808030357.1213829-1-kolyshkin@gmail.com

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken because: - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int - parsed by proc_do_intvec() - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec() Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive integers which did passed the check: if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0) return EINVAL; This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead. Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use proc_douintvec() for it however even the Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to INT_MAX. As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse userspace. There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/patch/20230901144433.2526-1-chrubis@suse.cz/Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231002115553.3007-2-chrubis@suse.cz

The dcache_dir_open_wrapper() could be called when a dynamic event is being deleted leaving a dentry with no children. In this case the dlist->dentries array will never be allocated. This needs to be checked for in eventfs_release(), otherwise it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit(). User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit for little and big endian CPUs. Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func() (which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task. Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead, the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e by having the polling code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified "buffer percent" had. The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again. Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this definitely is not the desired effect. To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the "shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the buffer is not as full as it expects to be. Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the 11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.
