2021-03-17locking/ww_mutex: Simplify use_ww_ctx & ww_ctx handlingWaiman Long
The use_ww_ctx flag is passed to mutex_optimistic_spin(), but the function doesn't use it. The frequent use of the (use_ww_ctx && ww_ctx) combination is repetitive. In fact, ww_ctx should not be used at all if !use_ww_ctx. Simplify ww_mutex code by dropping use_ww_ctx from mutex_optimistic_spin() an clear ww_ctx if !use_ww_ctx. In this way, we can replace (use_ww_ctx && ww_ctx) by just (ww_ctx).

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "x86: - Support for userspace to emulate Xen hypercalls - Raise the maximum number of user memslots - Scalability improvements for the new MMU. Instead of the complex "fast page fault" logic that is used in mmu.c, tdp_mmu.c uses an rwlock so that page faults are concurrent, but the code that can run against page faults is limited. Right now only page faults take the lock for reading; in the future this will be extended to some cases of page table destruction.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Core scheduler updates: - Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via a boot time selection. There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime. This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of static calls). The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c. ( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical, for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime overhead even with the code patching. ) The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected. - Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it by chance but many others don't. In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug. - Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the following consistent set of rbtree APIs: partial-order; less() based: - rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree - rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached total-order; cmp() based: - rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree - rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found - rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry - rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first() - rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two - Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic. - Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU utilization metrics from the scheduler - Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork performance. - Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can result in too high utilization values Misc updates & fixes: - Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature - Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code - Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead - Fix uprobes refcount bug - Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() - Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and USER_PRIO() - Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort - Documentation updates - Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality of energy-balancing - Smaller cleanups" * tag 'sched-core-2021-02-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (51 commits) sched,x86: Allow !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC entry/kvm: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point rcu/nocb: Trigger self-IPI on late deferred wake up before user resume rcu/nocb: Perform deferred wake up before last idle's need_resched() check rcu: Pull deferred rcuog wake up to rcu_eqs_enter() callers sched/features: Distinguish between NORMAL and DEADLINE hrtick sched/features: Fix hrtick reprogramming sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention in dl_add_task_root_domain() uprobes: (Re)add missing get_uprobe() in __find_uprobe() smp: Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() sched: Harden PREEMPT_DYNAMIC static_call: Allow module use without exposing static_call_key sched: Add /debug/sched_preempt preempt/dynamic: Support dynamic preempt with preempt= boot option preempt/dynamic: Provide irqentry_exit_cond_resched() static call preempt/dynamic: Provide preempt_schedule[_notrace]() static calls preempt/dynamic: Provide cond_resched() and might_resched() static calls preempt: Introduce CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC static_call: Provide DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0() ...

2021-02-11locking/arch: Move qrwlock.h include after qspinlock.hWaiman Long
include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h was trying to get arch_spin_is_locked via asm-generic/qspinlock.h. However, this does not work because architectures might be using queued rwlocks but not queued spinlocks (csky), or because they might be defining their own queued_* macros before including asm/qspinlock.h. To fix this, ensure that asm/spinlock.h always includes qrwlock.h after defining arch_spin_is_locked (either directly for csky, or via asm/qspinlock.h for other architectures). The only inclusion elsewhere is in kernel/locking/qrwlock.c. That one is really unnecessary because the file is only compiled in SMP configurations (config QUEUED_RWLOCKS depends on SMP) and in that case linux/spinlock.h already includes asm/qrwlock.h if needed, via asm/spinlock.h.

2021-01-22lockdep: report broken irq restorationMark Rutland
We generally expect local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() to be paired and sanely nested, and so local_irq_restore() expects to be called with irqs disabled. Thus, within local_irq_restore() we only trace irq flag changes when unmasking irqs. This means that a sequence such as: | local_irq_disable(); | local_irq_save(flags); | local_irq_enable(); | local_irq_restore(flags); ... is liable to break things, as the local_irq_restore() would mask irqs without tracing this change. Similar problems may exist for architectures whose arch_irq_restore() function depends on being called with irqs disabled. We don't consider such sequences to be a good idea, so let's define those as forbidden, and add tooling to detect such broken cases. This patch adds debug code to WARN() when raw_local_irq_restore() is called with irqs enabled. As raw_local_irq_restore() is expected to pair with raw_local_irq_save(), it should never be called with irqs enabled. To avoid the possibility of circular header dependencies between irqflags.h and bug.h, the warning is handled in a separate C file. The new code is all conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS symbol which is independent of CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS. As noted above such cases will confuse lockdep, so CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP now selects CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS.

2021-01-14locking/lockdep: Exclude local_lock_t from IRQ inversionsBoqun Feng
The purpose of local_lock_t is to abstract: preempt_disable() / local_bh_disable() / local_irq_disable(). These are the traditional means of gaining access to per-cpu data, but are fundamentally non-preemptible. local_lock_t provides a per-cpu lock, that on !PREEMPT_RT reduces to no-ops, just like regular spinlocks do on UP. This gives rise to: CPU0 CPU1 local_lock(B) spin_lock_irq(A) <IRQ> spin_lock(A) local_lock(B) Where lockdep then figures things will lock up; which would be true if B were any other kind of lock. However this is a false positive, no such deadlock actually exists. For !RT the above local_lock(B) is preempt_disable(), and there's obviously no deadlock; alternatively, CPU0's B != CPU1's B. For RT the argument is that since local_lock() nests inside spin_lock(), it cannot be used in hardirq context, and therefore CPU0 cannot in fact happen. Even though B is a real lock, it is a preemptible lock and any threaded-irq would simply schedule out and let the preempted task (which holds B) continue such that the task on CPU1 can make progress, after which the threaded-irq resumes and can finish. This means that we can never form an IRQ inversion on a local_lock dependency, so terminate the graph walk when looking for IRQ inversions when we encounter one. One consequence is that (for LOCKDEP_SMALL) when we look for redundant dependencies, A -> B is not redundant in the presence of A -> L -> B.

2020-12-09locking/rwsem: Remove reader optimistic spinningWaiman Long
Reader optimistic spinning is helpful when the reader critical section is short and there aren't that many readers around. It also improves the chance that a reader can get the lock as writer optimistic spinning disproportionally favors writers much more than readers. Since commit d3681e269fff ("locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue"), all the waiting readers are woken up so that they can all get the read lock and run in parallel. When the number of contending readers is large, allowing reader optimistic spinning will likely cause reader fragmentation where multiple smaller groups of readers can get the read lock in a sequential manner separated by writers. That reduces reader parallelism. One possible way to address that drawback is to limit the number of readers (preferably one) that can do optimistic spinning. These readers act as representatives of all the waiting readers in the wait queue as they will wake up all those waiting readers once they get the lock. Alternatively, as reader optimistic lock stealing has already enhanced fairness to readers, it may be easier to just remove reader optimistic spinning and simplifying the optimistic spinning code as a result. Performance measurements (locking throughput kops/s) using a locking microbenchmark with 50/50 reader/writer distribution and turbo-boost disabled was done on a 2-socket Cascade Lake system (48-core 96-thread) to see the impacts of these changes: 1) Vanilla - 5.10-rc3 kernel 2) Before - 5.10-rc3 kernel with previous patches in this series 2) limit-rspin - 5.10-rc3 kernel with limited reader spinning patch 3) no-rspin - 5.10-rc3 kernel with reader spinning disabled # of threads CS Load Vanilla Before limit-rspin no-rspin ------------ ------- ------- ------ ----------- -------- 2 1 5,185 5,662 5,214 5,077 4 1 5,107 4,983 5,188 4,760 8 1 4,782 4,564 4,720 4,628 16 1 4,680 4,053 4,567 3,402 32 1 4,299 1,115 1,118 1,098 64 1 3,218 983 1,001 957 96 1 1,938 944 957 930 2 20 2,008 2,128 2,264 1,665 4 20 1,390 1,033 1,046 1,101 8 20 1,472 1,155 1,098 1,213 16 20 1,332 1,077 1,089 1,122 32 20 967 914 917 980 64 20 787 874 891 858 96 20 730 836 847 844 2 100 372 356 360 355 4 100 492 425 434 392 8 100 533 537 529 538 16 100 548 572 568 598 32 100 499 520 527 537 64 100 466 517 526 512 96 100 406 497 506 509 The column "CS Load" represents the number of pause instructions issued in the locking critical section. A CS load of 1 is extremely short and is not likey in real situations. A load of 20 (moderate) and 100 (long) are more realistic. It can be seen that the previous patches in this series have reduced performance in general except in highly contended cases with moderate or long critical sections that performance improves a bit. This change is mostly caused by the "Prevent potential lock starvation" patch that reduce reader optimistic spinning and hence reduce reader fragmentation. The patch that further limit reader optimistic spinning doesn't seem to have too much impact on overall performance as shown in the benchmark data. The patch that disables reader optimistic spinning shows reduced performance at lightly loaded cases, but comparable or slightly better performance on with heavier contention. This patch just removes reader optimistic spinning for now. As readers are not going to do optimistic spinning anymore, we don't need to consider if the OSQ is empty or not when doing lock stealing.

2020-12-09locking/rwsem: Enable reader optimistic lock stealingWaiman Long
If the optimistic spinning queue is empty and the rwsem does not have the handoff or write-lock bits set, it is actually not necessary to call rwsem_optimistic_spin() to spin on it. Instead, it can steal the lock directly as its reader bias is in the count already. If it is the first reader in this state, it will try to wake up other readers in the wait queue. With this patch applied, the following were the lock event counts after rebooting a 2-socket system and a "make -j96" kernel rebuild. rwsem_opt_rlock=4437 rwsem_rlock=29 rwsem_rlock_steal=19 So lock stealing represents about 0.4% of all the read locks acquired in the slow path.

2020-12-09locking/rwsem: Prevent potential lock starvationWaiman Long
The lock handoff bit is added in commit 4f23dbc1e657 ("locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation") to avoid lock starvation. However, allowing readers to do optimistic spinning does introduce an unlikely scenario where lock starvation can happen. The lock handoff bit may only be set when a waiter is being woken up. In the case of reader unlock, wakeup happens only when the reader count reaches 0. If there is a continuous stream of incoming readers acquiring read lock via optimistic spinning, it is possible that the reader count may never reach 0 and so the handoff bit will never be asserted. One way to prevent this scenario from happening is to disallow optimistic spinning if the rwsem is currently owned by readers. If the previous or current owner is a writer, optimistic spinning will be allowed. If the previous owner is a reader but the reader count has reached 0 before, a wakeup should have been issued. So the handoff mechanism will be kicked in to prevent lock starvation. As a result, it should be OK to do optimistic spinning in this case. This patch may have some impact on reader performance as it reduces reader optimistic spinning especially if the lock critical sections are short the number of contending readers are small.

2020-11-10lockdep: Avoid to modify chain keys in validate_chain()locking-urgent-2020-11-15Boqun Feng
Chris Wilson reported a problem spotted by check_chain_key(): a chain key got changed in validate_chain() because we modify the ->read in validate_chain() to skip checks for dependency adding, and ->read is taken into calculation for chain key since commit f611e8cf98ec ("lockdep: Take read/write status in consideration when generate chainkey"). Fix this by avoiding to modify ->read in validate_chain() based on two facts: a) since we now support recursive read lock detection, there is no need to skip checks for dependency adding for recursive readers, b) since we have a), there is only one case left (nest_lock) where we want to skip checks in validate_chain(), we simply remove the modification for ->read and rely on the return value of check_deadlock() to skip the dependency adding.

I initially thought raw_cpu_read() was OK, since if it is !0 we have IRQs disabled and can't get migrated, so if we get migrated both CPUs must have 0 and it doesn't matter which 0 we read. And while that is true; it isn't the whole store, on pretty much all architectures (except x86) this can result in computing the address for one CPU, getting migrated, the old CPU continuing execution with another task (possibly setting recursion) and then the new CPU reading the value of the old CPU, which is no longer 0.
