mtip32xx: minor performance enhancements

This patch adds the following:

1) Compiler hinting in the fast path.
2) A prefetch of port->flags to eliminate moderate cpu stalling later
in mtip_hw_submit_io().
3) Eliminate a redundant rq_data_dir().
4) Reorder members of driver_data to eliminate false cacheline sharing
between irq_workers_active and unal_qdepth.

With some workload and topology configurations, I'm seeing ~1.5%

as improved latency std. dev.

2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND.

   In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like
   optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc().

   But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init()
   is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to
   unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway,

init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameter

When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall.  Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.

This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.

Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:

blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter

Happily, init/main.c does have a #define DEBUG so we didn't break
initcall_debug.  But the functioning of initcall_debug should not be

timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding timekeeping seqlock

Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock
possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping
seqlock.

This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can
cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read
the time.

Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is:
  printk
    vprintk_emit
      console_unlock
        up(&console_sem)
          __up
    wake_up_process
      try_to_wake_up
        ttwu_do_activate
  ttwu_activate
    activate_task
      enqueue_task
        enqueue_task_fair
  hrtick_update
    hrtick_start_fair
      hrtick_start_fair
        get_time
  ktime_get
    --> endless loop on
    read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...)

This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously
named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.

10 years agoprintk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead
Steven Rostedt [Wed, 4 Jun 2014 23:11:38 +0000 (16:11 -0700)]
printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead

To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler,
printk_sched() was created.  The issue is that printk has a console_sem
that it can grab and release.  The release does a wake up if there's a
task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is
held in the scheduler.  This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up
uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already.

What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer
and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag.  On a timer tick, if this flag is
set, the printk() is done against the buffer.

There's a couple of issues with this approach.

1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one
   will overwrite the first one.

2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu.  This is a quite a
   bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used.

In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer
instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued
work.

Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the
logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the
scheduler functions, which includes wake ups.  Unfortunately, printk()
also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem)
may do a wake up of any pending waiters.  This must be avoided while
holding the logbuf_lock.

printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()

There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering

The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem)
and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock.  So lockbuf_lock
isn't needed for that branch.  When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of
console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it
from other places), and the only remaining thing in
console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call.  For that call
console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME
flag).

So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which
simplifies the code.

There was no check for too long messages.  The check for free space always
passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal.  Enough free space was not
guaranteed, though.

log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B.
This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the
structure printk_log.

On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is
4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig.

The good news is that the usage looks safe right now.  log_store() is
called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush().  Here the "text" part is
always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to
LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024.  The "dict" part is NULL in most cases.  The
only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and
dev_vprintk_emit().  But printk_emit() is currently used only in
devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well.  In dev_vprintk_emit(),
"dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes.  It
meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it
always fit the log buffer.

But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe
parameters, especially the "dict" one.

This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty.  It
reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an
extra parameter.  It defines whether the buffer is empty.  Note that the
same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer
is full.

If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the
indexes.  We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer.  Otherwise,
the functions reading the buffer would get crazy.

The question is what to do when the message is too long.  This patch uses
the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message.  Let's do
something better in a followup patch.

high values - because they thought there is no downside to it.

10 years agomm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO)
Naoya Horiguchi [Wed, 4 Jun 2014 23:11:02 +0000 (16:11 -0700)]
mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO)

Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the
deferred manner by default.  And if a recovery aware application wants
to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag.
However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's
problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to
handler such signals.

So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler.  We
have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch
AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main
thread.  If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl()
to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread.

Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets
it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines.

No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases.

Tony said:

: The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
: well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then
: that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if
: that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED

When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported
an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not
want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS
handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that
they might never actually see.

task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks
whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with
"prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for
all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill.

But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer.  The error is in the
execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS
immediatley.

Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to
task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

fault overhead per byte of mapped area should be less there.

Let's rework the feature to specify faultaround area in bytes instead of
page order.  It's 64 kilobytes for now.

The patch effectively disables faultaround on architectures with page size
>= 64k (like ppc64).

It's possible that some other size of faultaround area is relevant for a
platform.  We can expose `fault_around_bytes' variable to arch-specific
code once such platforms will be found.
