2024-02-26tick: Start centralizing tick related CPU hotplug operationsFrederic Weisbecker
During the CPU offlining process, the various timer tick features are shut down from scattered places, sometimes from teardown callbacks on stop machine, sometimes through explicit calls, sometimes from the control CPU after the CPU died. The reason why these shutdown operations are spread around is not always clear and it makes the tick lifecycle hard to follow. The tick should be shut down in order from highest to lowest level: On stop machine from the dying CPU (high-level): 1) Hand-over the timekeeping duty (tick_handover_do_timer()) 2) Cancel the tick implementation called by the clockevent callback (tick_cancel_sched_timer()) 3) Shutdown broadcasting (tick_offline_cpu() / tick_broadcast_offline()) On stop machine from the dying CPU (low-level): 4) Shutdown clockevents drivers (CPUHP_AP_*_TIMER_STARTING states) From the control CPU after the CPU died (low-level): 5) Shutdown/unregister/cleanup clockevents for the dead CPU (tick_cleanup_dead_cpu()) Instead the current order is 2, 4 (both from CPU hotplug states), then 1 and 3 through direct calls. This layout and order don't make much sense. The operations 1, 2, 3 should be gathered together and in order. Sort this situation with creating a new TICK shut-down CPU hotplug state and start with introducing the timekeeping duty hand-over there. The state must precede hrtimers migration because the tick hrtimer will be stopped from it in a further patch.

2024-02-25rcu-tasks: Maintain real-time response in rcu_tasks_postscan()Paul E. McKenney
The current code will scan the entirety of each per-CPU list of exiting tasks in ->rtp_exit_list with interrupts disabled. This is normally just fine, because each CPU typically won't have very many tasks in this state. However, if a large number of tasks block late in do_exit(), these lists could be arbitrarily long. Low probability, perhaps, but it really could happen. This commit therefore occasionally re-enables interrupts while traversing these lists, inserting a dummy element to hold the current place in the list. In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, this re-enabling happens after each list element is processed, otherwise every one-to-two jiffies.

2024-02-25rcu-tasks: Eliminate deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasksPaul E. McKenney
Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop() results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce. In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time (for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could just as well take advantage of that fact. This commit therefore eliminates these deadlock by replacing the SRCU-based wait for do_exit() completion with per-CPU lists of tasks currently exiting. A given task will be on one of these per-CPU lists for the same period of time that this task would previously have been in the previous SRCU read-side critical section. These lists enable RCU Tasks to find the tasks that have already been removed from the tasks list, but that must nevertheless be waited upon. The RCU Tasks grace period gathers any of these do_exit() tasks that it must wait on, and adds them to the list of holdouts. Per-CPU locking and get_task_struct() are used to synchronize addition to and removal from these lists.

2024-02-25rcu-tasks: Initialize callback lists at rcu_init() timePaul E. McKenney
In order for RCU Tasks to reliably maintain per-CPU lists of exiting tasks, those lists must be initialized before it is possible for tasks to exit, especially given that the boot CPU is not necessarily CPU 0 (an example being, powerpc kexec() kernels). And at the time that rcu_init_tasks_generic() is called, a task could potentially exit, unconventional though that sort of thing might be. This commit therefore moves the calls to cblist_init_generic() from functions called from rcu_init_tasks_generic() to a new function named tasks_cblist_init_generic() that is invoked from rcu_init(). This constituted a bug in a commit that never went to mainline, so there is no need for any backporting to -stable. Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

By splitting CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO out from CRASH_CORE, cleaning up the dependency of FA_DMUMP on CRASH_DUMP, and moving crash codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c, now we can rearrange CRASH_DUMP to depend on KEXEC_CORE, and make CRASH_DUMP select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO. KEXEC_CORE won't select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO any more because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared by both kexec reboot and crash dumping. Doing this makes codes and the corresponding config items more logical (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item).

Now move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y. And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope, or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdef in generic kernel files. With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

2024-02-23crash: remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMPBaoquan He
In kdump kernel, /proc/vmcore is an elf file mapping the crashed kernel's old memory content. Its elf header is constructed in 1st kernel and passed to kdump kernel via elfcorehdr_addr. Config CRASH_DUMP enables the code of 1st kernel's old memory accessing in different architectures. Currently, config FA_DUMP has dependency on CRASH_DUMP because fadump needs access global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' to judge if it's in kdump kernel within function is_kdump_kernel(). In the current kernel/crash_dump.c, variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' is defined, and function setup_elfcorehdr() used to parse kernel parameter to fetch the passed value of elfcorehdr_addr. Only for accessing elfcorehdr_addr, FA_DUMP really doesn't have to depends on CRASH_DUMP. To remove the dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP to avoid confusion, rename kernel/crash_dump.c to kernel/elfcorehdr.c, and build it when CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is ebabled. With this, FA_DUMP doesn't need to depend on CRASH_DUMP.

2024-02-23kexec: split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.cBaoquan He
Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items", v3. Motivation: ============= Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items. https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/ The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions: Firstly, CRASH_CORE enables codes including - crashkernel reservation; - elfcorehdr updating; - vmcoreinfo exporting; - crash hotplug handling; Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects CRASH_CORE, while fadump - fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr'; - kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting; - kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c. So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not. Secondly, It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE. Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot, but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected. -------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y --------------------- Thirdly, It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE. That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code. --------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y --------------------- In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU, while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link. ------arch/sh/Kconfig------ config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool MMU config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP --------------------------- Changes: =========== 1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c; 2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c; 3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c; 4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP; 5, clean up kdump related config items; 6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es which support crash dumping, except of ppc; Achievement: =========== With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item): PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO |----------> VMCORE_INFO FA_DUMP----| |----------> CRASH_RESERVE ---->VMCORE_INFO / |---->CRASH_RESERVE KEXEC --| /| |--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE KEXEC_FILE --| \ | \---->CRASH_HOTPLUG KEXEC --| |--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only) KEXEC_FILE --| Test ======== On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips, riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here: (1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump items are unset automatically: # Kexec and crash features # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set # CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set # end of Kexec and crash features (2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig': --------------- # Kexec and crash features CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192 # end of Kexec and crash features --------------- (3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig': ------------------------ # Kexec and crash features CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y # end of Kexec and crash features ------------------------ Note: For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or disable both of them altogether. This patch (of 14): Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h. And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel reservation.

Currently the default compression algorithm is selected based on compile time options. Introduce a module parameter "hibernate.compressor" to override this behaviour. Different compression algorithms have different characteristics and hibernation may benefit when it uses any of these algorithms, especially when a secondary algorithm(LZ4) offers better decompression speeds over a default algorithm(LZO), which in turn reduces hibernation image restore time. Users can override the default algorithm in two ways: 1) Passing "hibernate.compressor" as kernel command line parameter. Usage: LZO: hibernate.compressor=lzo LZ4: hibernate.compressor=lz4 2) Specifying the algorithm at runtime. Usage: LZO: echo lzo > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor LZ4: echo lz4 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor Currently LZO and LZ4 are the supported algorithms. LZO is the default compression algorithm used with hibernation. Signed-off-by: Nikhil V <quic_nprakash@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

2024-02-22workqueue: Control intensive warning threshold through cmdlineXuewen Yan
When CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel will report the work functions which violate the intensive_threshold_us repeatedly. And now, only when the violate times exceed 4 and is a power of 2, the kernel warning could be triggered. However, sometimes, even if a long work execution time occurs only once, it may cause other work to be delayed for a long time. This may also cause some problems sometimes. In order to freely control the threshold of warninging, a boot argument is added so that the user can control the warning threshold to be printed. At the same time, keep the exponential backoff to prevent reporting too much. By default, the warning threshold is 4. tj: Updated kernel-parameters.txt description.

If that happens, unexpected results may occur as there's no code checking if the counter overflowed the 20 bits of the write mask. There are other checks to make sure events fit in the sub-buffer, but if the sub-buffer itself is too big, that is not checked.

2024-02-22timers: Always queue timers on the local CPUAnna-Maria Behnsen
The timer pull model is in place so we can remove the heuristics which try to guess the best target CPU at enqueue/modification time.

2024-02-22timers: Implement the hierarchical pull modelAnna-Maria Behnsen
Placing timers at enqueue time on a target CPU based on dubious heuristics does not make any sense: 1) Most timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before they expire. 2) The heuristics to predict which CPU will be busy when the timer expires are wrong by definition. So placing the timers at enqueue wastes precious cycles. The proper solution to this problem is to always queue the timers on the local CPU and allow the non pinned timers to be pulled onto a busy CPU at expiry time. Therefore split the timer storage into local pinned and global timers: Local pinned timers are always expired on the CPU on which they have been queued. Global timers can be expired on any CPU. As long as a CPU is busy it expires both local and global timers. When a CPU goes idle it arms for the first expiring local timer. If the first expiring pinned (local) timer is before the first expiring movable timer, then no action is required because the CPU will wake up before the first movable timer expires. If the first expiring movable timer is before the first expiring pinned (local) timer, then this timer is queued into an idle timerqueue and eventually expired by another active CPU. To avoid global locking the timerqueues are implemented as a hierarchy. The lowest level of the hierarchy holds the CPUs. The CPUs are associated to groups of 8, which are separated per node. If more than one CPU group exist, then a second level in the hierarchy collects the groups. Depending on the size of the system more than 2 levels are required. Each group has a "migrator" which checks the timerqueue during the tick for remote expirable timers. If the last CPU in a group goes idle it reports the first expiring event in the group up to the next group(s) in the hierarchy. If the last CPU goes idle it arms its timer for the first system wide expiring timer to ensure that no timer event is missed.
