Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the tick alive as long as there are perf events running. This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix, the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks is built but this is not a long term viable solution. To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU, or when an event throttles on the CPU. These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer. The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time. Original-patch-by:

Gather all the event accounting code to a single place, once all the prerequisites are completed. This simplifies the refcounting. Original-patch-by:

Frederic Weisbecker authored
In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the refcount incremented for the current event. As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error, we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount with a call to put_callchain_buffers(). This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event() after that failure. The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive, ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller. So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc(). Signed-off-by:

Frederic Weisbecker authored
On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc() for that event is cancelled. But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted as well from the branch stack sampling events refcounts. This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling events refcount can become negative. To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the callchain buffer allocation. Reported-by:

Smart wake-affine is using node-size as the factor currently, but the overhead of the mask operation is high. Thus, this patch introduce the 'sd_llc_size' percpu variable, which will record the highest cache-share domain size, and make it to be the new factor, in order to reduce the overhead and make it more reasonable.

The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case. Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%. However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically. Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the benefit it brings in the best case. So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on. This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each time the task flips (switches) its wakee target. So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency. Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later, it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind 'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers. Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal. Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse. The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling work when: wakee->wakee_flips > factor && waker->wakee_flips > (factor * wakee->wakee_flips) The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node, so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more severe. After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions. Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7. The percentages in the final column highlight the areas with the biggest wins, all other areas improved as well: pgbench base smart | db_size | clients | tps | | tps | +---------+---------+-------+ +-------+ | 22 MB | 1 | 10598 | | 10796 | | 22 MB | 2 | 21257 | | 21336 | | 22 MB | 4 | 41386 | | 41622 | | 22 MB | 8 | 51253 | | 57932 | | 22 MB | 12 | 48570 | | 54000 | | 22 MB | 16 | 46748 | | 55982 | +19.75% | 22 MB | 24 | 44346 | | 55847 | +25.93% | 22 MB | 32 | 43460 | | 54614 | +25.66% | 7484 MB | 1 | 8951 | | 9193 | | 7484 MB | 2 | 19233 | | 19240 | | 7484 MB | 4 | 37239 | | 37302 | | 7484 MB | 8 | 46087 | | 50018 | | 7484 MB | 12 | 42054 | | 48763 | | 7484 MB | 16 | 40765 | | 51633 | +26.66% | 7484 MB | 24 | 37651 | | 52377 | +39.11% | 7484 MB | 32 | 37056 | | 51108 | +37.92% | 15 GB | 1 | 8845 | | 9104 | | 15 GB | 2 | 19094 | | 19162 | | 15 GB | 4 | 36979 | | 36983 | | 15 GB | 8 | 46087 | | 49977 | | 15 GB | 12 | 41901 | | 48591 | | 15 GB | 16 | 40147 | | 50651 | +26.16% | 15 GB | 24 | 37250 | | 52365 | +40.58% | 15 GB | 32 | 36470 | | 50015 | +37.14% Signed-off-by:

The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if there are many cpu cgroups in the system. Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b6466 ('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads, e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently. For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show: Cpu(s): 17.8%us, 24.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 57.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 243K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 7.08% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 6.13% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing in the root cpu cgroup: Cpu(s): 19.1%us, 48.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 31.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si Events: 230K cycles 24.56% [kernel] [k] tg_load_down 5.76% [kernel] [k] __schedule This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle' rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(), which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks to pull. This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load(). For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate. The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's, which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped. Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate. After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get: Cpu(s): 16.9%us, 24.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 58.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 242K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 6.70% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 5.93% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Signed-off-by:

In fd4363ff ("x86: Introduce int3 (breakpoint)-based instruction patching"), the mechanism that was introduced for notifying alternatives code from int3 exception handler that and exception occured was die_notifier. This is however problematic, as early code might be using jump labels even before the notifier registration has been performed, which will then lead to an oops due to unhandled exception.

With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate nodes in the chain. This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses. Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today. I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to register a params pointer. Signed-off-by:

The glibc calloc() function has an optimization to not explicitely memset() very large calloc allocations that just came from mmap(), because they are known to be zero. This could result in the perf memcpy benchmark reading only from the zero page, which gives unrealistic results. Always call memset explicitly on the source area to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by:

Use text_poke_bp() for optimizing kprobes instead of text_poke_smp*(). Since the number of kprobes is usually not so large (<100) and text_poke_bp() is much lighter than text_poke_smp() [which uses stop_machine()], this just stops using batch processing. Signed-off-by:

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "A couple interesting SKB fragment handling fixes, plus the usual small bits here and there: 1) Fix 64-bit divide build failure on 32-bit platforms in mlx5, from Tim Gardner. 2) Get rid of a stupid reimplementation on "%*phC" in our sysfs MAC address printing helper. 3) Fix NETIF_F_SG capability advertisement in hyperv driver, if the device can't do checksumming offloads then it shouldn't say it can do SG either. From Haiyang Zhang. 4) bgmac needs to depend on PHYLIB, from Hauke Mehrtens. 5) Don't leak DMA mappings on mapping failures, from Neil Horman. 6) We need to reset the transport header of SKBs in ipv4 before we attempt to perform early socket demux, just like ipv6 does. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen Hemminger. 8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for transfer. One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the second massages the SKB and fills the slots. Unfortunately, the first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't work out so well. Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion with several others. 9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries. Don't do zerocopy if it would result in a > MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb. Fixes from Jason Wang. 10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear skb->vlan_tci. Otherwise demuxed tunnels underneath can trigger the VLAN code again, corrupting the packet.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "Trying again to get the fixes queue, including the fixed IDT alignment patch. The UEFI patch is by far the biggest issue at hand: it is currently causing quite a few machines to boot. Which is sad, because the only reason they would is because their BIOSes touch memory that has already been freed. The other major issue is that we finally have tracked down the root cause of a significant number of machines failing to suspend/resume" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86: Make sure IDT is page aligned x86, suspend: Handle CPUs which fail to #GP on RDMSR x86/platform/ce4100: Add header file for reboot type Revert "UEFI: Don't pass boot services regions to SetVirtualAddressMap()" efivars: check for EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES

egress_priority_map[] hash table updates are protected by rtnl, and we never remove elements until device is dismantled. We have to make sure that before inserting an new element in hash table, all its fields are committed to memory or else another cpu could find corrupt values and crash. Signed-off-by:

In commit 48cc32d3 ("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols") Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this particular id. But we also have a problem if prio bits are set. Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device, because skb->vlan_tci is set. Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000) being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address : 16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 > 9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64 0x0000: 0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651 0x0010: 0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213 0x0020: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0030: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233 It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now. We can probably do better in future kernels : vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of a per vlan_dev one. For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest network. Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify vhost. We can do further optimization on top. This bug were introduced from b92946e2 (macvtap: zerocopy: validate vectors before building skb). Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
