Sometimes boot loaders set CPU frequency to a value outside of frequency table present with cpufreq core. In such cases CPU might be unstable if it has to run on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a frequency which is specified in frequency table. Sachin recently found this problem with cpufreq-cpu0 driver when he was testing it for Exynos. Set this flag for cpufreq-cpu0 driver.

'copy_prev_load' was recently added by commit: 18b46abd (cpufreq: governor: Be friendly towards latency-sensitive bursty workloads). It actually is a bit redundant as we also have 'prev_load' which can store any integer value and can be used instead of 'copy_prev_load' by setting it zero. True load can also turn out to be zero during long idle intervals (and hence the actual value of 'prev_load' and the overloaded value can clash). However this is not a problem because, if the true load was really zero in the previous interval, it makes sense to evaluate the load afresh for the current interval rather than copying the previous load. So, drop 'copy_prev_load' and use 'prev_load' instead. Update comments as well to make it more clear. There is another change here which was probably missed by Srivatsa during the last version of updates he made. The unlikely in the 'if' statement was covering only half of the condition and the whole line should actually come under it. Also checkpatch is made more silent as it was reporting this (--strict option): CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis + if (unlikely(wall_time > (2 * sampling_rate) && + j_cdbs->prev_load)) { Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

Cpufreq governors like the ondemand governor calculate the load on the CPU periodically by employing deferrable timers. A deferrable timer won't fire if the CPU is completely idle (and there are no other timers to be run), in order to avoid unnecessary wakeups and thus save CPU power. However, the load calculation logic is agnostic to all this, and this can lead to the problem described below. Time (ms) CPU 1 100 Task-A running 110 Governor's timer fires, finds load as 100% in the last 10ms interval and increases the CPU frequency. 110.5 Task-A running 120 Governor's timer fires, finds load as 100% in the last 10ms interval and increases the CPU frequency. 125 Task-A went to sleep. With nothing else to do, CPU 1 went completely idle. 200 Task-A woke up and started running again. 200.5 Governor's deferred timer (which was originally programmed to fire at time 130) fires now. It calculates load for the time period 120 to 200.5, and finds the load is almost zero. Hence it decreases the CPU frequency to the minimum. 210 Governor's timer fires, finds load as 100% in the last 10ms interval and increases the CPU frequency. So, after the workload woke up and started running, the frequency was suddenly dropped to absolute minimum, and after that, there was an unnecessary delay of 10ms (sampling period) to increase the CPU frequency back to a reasonable value. And this pattern repeats for every wake-up-from-cpu-idle for that workload. This can be quite undesirable for latency- or response-time sensitive bursty workloads. So we need to fix the governor's logic to detect such wake-up-from- cpu-idle scenarios and start the workload at a reasonably high CPU frequency. One extreme solution would be to fake a load of 100% in such scenarios. But that might lead to undesirable side-effects such as frequency spikes (which might also need voltage changes) especially if the previous frequency happened to be very low. We just want to avoid the stupidity of dropping down the frequency to a minimum and then enduring a needless (and long) delay before ramping it up back again. So, let us simply carry forward the previous load - that is, let us just pretend that the 'load' for the current time-window is the same as the load for the previous window. That way, the frequency and voltage will continue to be set to whatever values they were set at previously. This means that bursty workloads will get a chance to influence the CPU frequency at which they wake up from cpu-idle, based on their past execution history. Thus, they might be able to avoid suffering from slow wakeups and long response-times. However, we should take care not to over-do this. For example, such a "copy previous load" logic will benefit cases like this: (where # represents busy and . represents idle) ##########.........#########.........###########...........##########........ but it will be detrimental in cases like the one shown below, because it will retain the high frequency (copied from the previous interval) even in a mostly idle system: ##########.........#.................#.....................#............... (i.e., the workload finished and the remaining tasks are such that their busy periods are smaller than the sampling interval, which causes the timer to always get deferred. So, this will make the copy-previous-load logic copy the initial high load to subsequent idle periods over and over again, thus keeping the frequency high unnecessarily). So, we modify this copy-previous-load logic such that it is used only once upon every wakeup-from-idle. Thus if we have 2 consecutive idle periods, the previous load won't get blindly copied over; cpufreq will freshly evaluate the load in the second idle interval, thus ensuring that the system comes back to its normal state. [ The right way to solve this whole problem is to teach the CPU frequency governors to also track load on a per-task basis, not just a per-CPU basis, and then use both the data sources intelligently to set the appropriate frequency on the CPUs. But that involves redesigning the cpufreq subsystem, so this patch should make the situation bearable until then. ] Experimental results: +-------------------+ I ran a modified version of ebizzy (called 'sleeping-ebizzy') that sleeps in between its execution such that its total utilization can be a user-defined value, say 10% or 20% (higher the utilization specified, lesser the amount of sleeps injected). This ebizzy was run with a single-thread, tied to CPU 8.

But cpufreq noticed the long idle period, and dropped the frequency at 416.505739, only to increase it back again at 416.515742, realizing that the workload is in-fact CPU bound. Thus ebizzy needlessly ran at the lowest frequency for almost 13 milliseconds (almost 1 full sample period), and this pattern repeats on every sleep-wakeup. This could hurt latency-sensitive workloads quite a lot.

Since ebizzy was the only real workload running on this CPU, cpufreq retained the frequency at 4.1Ghz throughout the run of ebizzy, no matter how many times ebizzy slept and woke-up in-between. Thus, ebizzy got the 10ms worth of 4.1 Ghz benefit during every sleep-wakeup (as compared to the run without the patch) and this boost gave a modest improvement in total throughput, as shown below. Sleeping-ebizzy records-per-second: ----------------------------------- Utilization Without patch With patch Difference (Absolute and % values) 10% 274767 277046 + 2279 (+0.829%) 20% 543429 553484 + 10055 (+1.850%) 40% 1090744 1107959 + 17215 (+1.578%) 60% 1634908 1662018 + 27110 (+1.658%) A rudimentary and somewhat approximately latency-sensitive workload such as sleeping-ebizzy itself showed a consistent, noticeable performance improvement with this patch. Hence, workloads that are truly latency-sensitive will benefit quite a bit from this change. Moreover, this is an overall win-win since this patch does not hurt power-savings at all (because, this patch does not reduce the idle time or idle residency; and the high frequency of the CPU when it goes to cpu-idle does not affect/hurt the power-savings of deep idle states).

Tegra has been switching to intermediate frequency (pll_p_clk) forever. CPUFreq core has better support for handling notifications for these frequencies and so we can adapt Tegra's driver to it. Also do a WARN() if clk_set_parent() fails while moving back to pll_x as we should have atleast restored to earlier frequency on error.

Douglas Anderson, recently pointed out an interesting problem due to which udelay() was expiring earlier than it should. While transitioning between frequencies few platforms may temporarily switch to a stable frequency, waiting for the main PLL to stabilize. For example: When we transition between very low frequencies on exynos, like between 200MHz and 300MHz, we may temporarily switch to a PLL running at 800MHz. No CPUFREQ notification is sent for that. That means there's a period of time when we're running at 800MHz but loops_per_jiffy is calibrated at between 200MHz and 300MHz. And so udelay behaves badly. To get this fixed in a generic way, introduce another set of callbacks get_intermediate() and target_intermediate(), only for drivers with target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset. get_intermediate() should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants to switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency, before jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in target_intermediate() or target_index(). NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of failures as core would send notifications for that.

The PID assumes that samples are of equal time, which for a deferable timers this is not true when the system goes idle. This causes the PID to take a long time to converge to the min P state and depending on the pattern of the idle load can make the P state appear stuck. The hold-off value of three sample times before using the scaling is to give a grace period for applications that have high performance requirements and spend a lot of time idle, The poster child for this behavior is the ffmpeg benchmark in the Phoronix test suite.

So a few people complained that commit 177cf92d Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Apr 1 22:14:59 2014 +0200 drm/crtc-helpers: fix dpms on logic which was merged into 3.15-rc1, broke resume on radeons. Strangely git bisect lead everyone to commit 25f397a4 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Fri Jul 19 18:57:11 2013 +0200 drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset which was merged long ago and actually part of 3.14. Digging deeper I've noticed (again) that the call to drm_helper_resume_force_mode in the radeon resume handlers was a no-op previously because everything gets shut down on suspend. radeon does this with explicit calls to drm_helper_connector_dpms with DPMS_OFF. But with 177c we now force the dpms state to ON, so suddenly resume_force_mode actually forced the crtcs back on. This is the intention of the change after all, the problem is that radeon resumes the fbdev console layer _before_ restoring the display, through calling fb_set_suspend. And fbcon does an immediate ->set_par, which in turn causes the same forced mode restore to happen. Two concurrent modeset operations didn't lead to happiness. Fix this by delaying the fbcon resume until the end of the readeon resum functions. v2: Fix up a bit of the spelling fail.

While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm, 3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow. When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path. I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path. Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely, lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size( meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64 already expaned to 16K. ) So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace. For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime. Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a chance to think over it. I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio maintainers. Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack: Depth Size Location (51 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 7696 16 lookup_address 1) 7680 16 _lookup_address_cpa.isra.3 2) 7664 24 __change_page_attr_set_clr 3) 7640 392 kernel_map_pages 4) 7248 256 get_page_from_freelist 5) 6992 352 __alloc_pages_nodemask 6) 6640 8 alloc_pages_current 7) 6632 168 new_slab 8) 6464 8 __slab_alloc 9) 6456 80 __kmalloc 10) 6376 376 vring_add_indirect 11) 6000 144 virtqueue_add_sgs 12) 5856 288 __virtblk_add_req 13) 5568 96 virtio_queue_rq 14) 5472 128 __blk_mq_run_hw_queue 15) 5344 16 blk_mq_run_hw_queue 16) 5328 96 blk_mq_insert_requests 17) 5232 112 blk_mq_flush_plug_list 18) 5120 112 blk_flush_plug_list 19) 5008 64 io_schedule_timeout 20) 4944 128 mempool_alloc 21) 4816 96 bio_alloc_bioset 22) 4720 48 get_swap_bio 23) 4672 160 __swap_writepage 24) 4512 32 swap_writepage 25) 4480 320 shrink_page_list 26) 4160 208 shrink_inactive_list 27) 3952 304 shrink_lruvec 28) 3648 80 shrink_zone 29) 3568 128 do_try_to_free_pages 30) 3440 208 try_to_free_pages 31) 3232 352 __alloc_pages_nodemask 32) 2880 8 alloc_pages_current 33) 2872 200 __page_cache_alloc 34) 2672 80 find_or_create_page 35) 2592 80 ext4_mb_load_buddy 36) 2512 176 ext4_mb_regular_allocator 37) 2336 128 ext4_mb_new_blocks 38) 2208 256 ext4_ext_map_blocks 39) 1952 160 ext4_map_blocks 40) 1792 384 ext4_writepages 41) 1408 16 do_writepages 42) 1392 96 __writeback_single_inode 43) 1296 176 writeback_sb_inodes 44) 1120 80 __writeback_inodes_wb 45) 1040 160 wb_writeback 46) 880 208 bdi_writeback_workfn 47) 672 144 process_one_work 48) 528 112 worker_thread 49) 416 240 kthread 50) 176 176 ret_from_fork [ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of temporaries and generating too many spills. Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using 35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example. Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're clearly getting too close. The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of function arguments. We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this simple stack increase too. Unlike most earlier reports, there is nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here, apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they should need to be. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael S Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: PJ Waskiewicz <pjwaskiewicz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where we are dropping references to ancestors. Same solution, basically - instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count (in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.

The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

Undo a feature introduced in v3.14 by commit fcd46b34 "firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB". That change raised the minimum address at which protocol drivers and user programs can register for request reception from 0x0001'0000'0000 to 0x8000'0000'0000. It turned out that at least one vendor-specific protocol exists which uses lower addresses: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76921 For the time being, revert most of commit fcd46b34 so that affected protocols work like with kernel v3.13 and before. Just keep the valid documentation parts from the regressing commit, and the ability to identify controllers which could be programmed to accept >32 bit physical DMA addresses. The rest of fcd46b34 should probably be brought back as an optional instead of default feature.
