2012-09-23rcu: Control grace-period duration from sysfsPaul E. McKenney
Although almost everyone is well-served by the defaults, some uses of RCU benefit from shorter grace periods, while others benefit more from the greater efficiency provided by longer grace periods. Situations requiring a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the lower latency. In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to elapse, so this is a good tradeoff. Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs. There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named "jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies) between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior. At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be relegated to boot-time hand tuning. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-09-23rcu: Prevent force_quiescent_state() memory contentionPaul E. McKenney
Large systems running RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels see extreme memory contention on the rcu_state structure's ->fqslock field. This can be avoided by disabling RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, either at compile time or at boot time (via the nohz kernel boot parameter), but large systems will no doubt become sensitive to energy consumption. This commit therefore uses a combining-tree approach to spread the memory contention across new cache lines in the leaf rcu_node structures. This can be thought of as a tournament lock that has only a try-lock acquisition primitive. The effect on small systems is minimal, because such systems have an rcu_node "tree" consisting of a single node. In addition, this functionality is not used on fastpaths. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-09-23rcu: Provide OOM handler to motivate lazy RCU callbacksPaul E. McKenney
In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y, CPUs can accumulate a large number of lazy callbacks, which as the name implies will be slow to be invoked. This can be a problem on small-memory systems, where the default 6-second sleep for CPUs having only lazy RCU callbacks could well be fatal. This commit therefore installs an OOM hander that ensures that every CPU with lazy callbacks has at least one non-lazy callback, in turn ensuring timely advancement for these callbacks. Updated to fix bug that disabled OOM killing, noted by Lai Jiangshan. Updated to push the for_each_rcu_flavor() loop into rcu_oom_notify_cpu(), thus reducing the number of IPIs, as suggested by Steven Rostedt. Also to make the for_each_online_cpu() loop be preemptible.

2012-09-23rcu: Prevent offline CPUs from executing RCU core codePaul E. McKenney
Earlier versions of RCU invoked the RCU core from the CPU_DYING notifier in order to note a quiescent state for the outgoing CPU. Because the CPU is marked "offline" during the execution of the CPU_DYING notifiers, the RCU core had to tolerate being invoked from an offline CPU. However, commit b1420f1c (Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive) left only tracing code in the CPU_DYING notifier, so the RCU core need no longer execute on offline CPUs.

2012-09-23rcu: Prevent initialization-time quiescent-state racePaul E. McKenney
The next step in reducing RCU's grace-period initialization latency on large systems will make this initialization preemptible. Unfortunately, making the grace-period initialization subject to interrupts (let alone preemption) exposes the following race on systems whose rcu_node tree contains more than one node: 1. CPU 31 starts initializing the grace period, including the first leaf rcu_node structures, and is then preempted. 2. CPU 0 refers to the first leaf rcu_node structure, and notes that a new grace period has started. It passes through a quiescent state shortly thereafter, and informs the RCU core of this rite of passage. 3. CPU 0 enters an RCU read-side critical section, acquiring a pointer to an RCU-protected data item. 4. CPU 31 takes an interrupt whose handler removes the data item referenced by CPU 0 from the data structure, and registers an RCU callback in order to free it. 5. CPU 31 resumes initializing the grace period, including its own rcu_node structure. In invokes rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(), which advances all callbacks, including the one registered in #4 above, to be handled by the current grace period. 6. The remaining CPUs pass through quiescent states and inform the RCU core, but CPU 0 remains in its RCU read-side critical section, still referencing the now-removed data item. 7. The grace period completes and all the callbacks are invoked, including the one that frees the data item that CPU 0 is still referencing. Oops!!! One way to avoid this race is to remove grace-period acceleration from rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(). Now, the only reason for this acceleration was to allow CPUs bringing RCU out of idle state to have their callbacks invoked after only one grace period, rather than the two grace periods that would otherwise be required. But this acceleration does not work when RCU grace-period initialization is moved to a kthread because the CPU posting the callback is no longer necessarily the CPU that is initializing the resulting grace period. This commit therefore removes this now-pointless (and soon to be dangerous) grace-period acceleration, thus avoiding the above race. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-09-23rcu: Fix day-one dyntick-idle stall-warning bugPaul E. McKenney
Each grace period is supposed to have at least one callback waiting for that grace period to complete. However, if CONFIG_NO_HZ=n, an extra callback-free grace period is no big problem -- it will chew up a tiny bit of CPU time, but it will complete normally. In contrast, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y kernels have the potential for all the CPUs to go to sleep indefinitely, in turn indefinitely delaying completion of the callback-free grace period. Given that nothing is waiting on this grace period, this is also not a problem. That is, unless RCU CPU stall warnings are also enabled, as they are in recent kernels. In this case, if a CPU wakes up after at least one minute of inactivity, an RCU CPU stall warning will result. The reason that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute. But there are some embedded systems with cut-down userspace configurations that consistently get into this situation. All this begs the question of exactly how a callback-free grace period gets started in the first place. This can happen due to the fact that CPUs do not necessarily agree on which grace period is in progress. If a CPU still believes that the grace period that just completed is still ongoing, it will believe that it has callbacks that need to wait for another grace period, never mind the fact that the grace period that they were waiting for just completed. This CPU can therefore erroneously decide to start a new grace period. Note that this can happen in TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU even on a single-CPU system: Deadlock considerations mean that the CPU that detected the end of the grace period is not necessarily officially informed of this fact for some time. Once this CPU notices that the earlier grace period completed, it will invoke its callbacks. It then won't have any callbacks left. If no other CPU has any callbacks, we now have a callback-free grace period. This commit therefore makes CPUs check more carefully before starting a new grace period. This new check relies on an array of tail pointers into each CPU's list of callbacks. If the CPU is up to date on which grace periods have completed, it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, otherwise it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment. The reason that this works is that the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment will be promoted to the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment as soon as the CPU is officially notified that the old grace period has ended. This change is to cpu_needs_another_gp(), which is called in a number of places. The only one that really matters is in rcu_start_gp(), where the root rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, which prevents any other CPU from starting or completing a grace period, so that the comparison that determines whether the CPU is missing the completion of a grace period is stable.

2012-09-18workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work itemLai Jiangshan
Currently, when try_to_grab_pending() grabs a delayed work item, it leaves its linked work items alone on the delayed_works. The linked work items are always NO_COLOR and will cause future cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase cwq->nr_active incorrectly, and may cause the whole cwq to stall. For example, state: cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1 one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works. step1: try_to_grab_pending() removes a work item from delayed_works but leaves its NO_COLOR linked work items on it. step2: Later on, cwq_activate_first_delayed() activates the linked work item increasing ->nr_active. step3: cwq->nr_active = 1, but all activated work items of the cwq are NO_COLOR. When they finish, cwq->nr_active will not be decreased due to NO_COLOR, and no further work items will be activated from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq stalls. Fix it by ensuring the target work item is activated before stealing PENDING in try_to_grab_pending().

2012-09-18workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebindingLai Jiangshan
Currently rebind_workers() uses rebinds idle workers synchronously before proceeding to requesting busy workers to rebind. This is necessary because all workers on @worker_pool->idle_list must be bound before concurrency management local wake-ups from the busy workers take place. Unfortunately, the synchronous idle rebinding is quite complicated. This patch reimplements idle rebinding to simplify the code path. Rather than trying to make all idle workers bound before rebinding busy workers, we simply remove all to-be-bound idle workers from the idle list and let them add themselves back after completing rebinding (successful or not). As only workers which finished rebinding can on on the idle worker list, the idle worker list is guaranteed to have only bound workers unless CPU went down again and local wake-ups are safe. After the change, @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list. More specifically, nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty. All users of ->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited. The only affected one is too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is empty regardless of ->nr_idle. After this patch, rebind_workers() no longer performs the nasty idle-rebind retries which require temporary release of gcwq->lock, and both unbinding and rebinding are atomic w.r.t. global_cwq->lock. worker->idle_rebind and global_cwq->rebind_hold are now unnecessary and removed along with the definition of struct idle_rebind. Changed from V1: 1) remove unlikely from too_many_workers(), ->idle_list can be empty anytime, even before this patch, no reason to use unlikely. 2) fix a small rebasing mistake.

2012-09-18userns: Convert bsd process accounting to use kuid and kgid where appropriateEric W. Biederman
BSD process accounting conveniently passes the file the accounting records will be written into to do_acct_process. The file credentials captured the user namespace of the opener of the file. Use the file credentials to format the uid and the gid of the current process into the user namespace of the user that started the bsd process accounting.

2012-09-18userns: Convert taskstats to handle the user and pid namespaces.Eric W. Biederman
- Explicitly limit exit task stat broadcast to the initial user and pid namespaces, as it is already limited to the initial network namespace. - For broadcast task stats explicitly generate all of the idenitiers in terms of the initial user namespace and the initial pid namespace. - For request stats report them in terms of the current user namespace and the current pid namespace. Netlink messages are delivered syncrhonously to the kernel allowing us to get the user namespace and the pid namespace from the current task. - Pass the namespaces for representing pids and uids and gids into bacct_add_task.

2012-09-18userns: Convert audit to work with user namespaces enabledEric W. Biederman
- Explicitly format uids gids in audit messges in the initial user namespace. This is safe because auditd is restrected to be in the initial user namespace. - Convert audit_sig_uid into a kuid_t. - Enable building the audit code and user namespaces at the same time. The net result is that the audit subsystem now uses kuid_t and kgid_t whenever possible making it almost impossible to confuse a raw uid_t with a kuid_t preventing bugs.

Always store audit loginuids in type kuid_t. Print loginuids by converting them into uids in the appropriate user namespace, and then printing the resulting uid. Modify audit_get_loginuid to return a kuid_t. Modify audit_set_loginuid to take a kuid_t.

2012-09-17audit: Add typespecific uid and gid comparatorsEric W. Biederman
The audit filter code guarantees that uid are always compared with uids and gids are always compared with gids, as the comparason operations are type specific. Take advantage of this proper to define audit_uid_comparator and audit_gid_comparator which use the type safe comparasons from uidgid.h. Build on audit_uid_comparator and audit_gid_comparator and replace audit_compare_id with audit_compare_uid and audit_compare_gid. This is one of those odd cases where being type safe and duplicating code leads to simpler shorter and more concise code. Don't allow bitmask operations in uid and gid comparisons in audit_data_to_entry. Bitmask operations are already denined in audit_rule_to_entry. Convert constants in audit_rule_to_entry and audit_data_to_entry into kuids and kgids when appropriate. Convert the uid and gid field in struct audit_names to be of type kuid_t and kgid_t respectively, so that the new uid and gid comparators can be applied in a type safe manner.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull another workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "Unfortunately, yet another late fix. This too is discovered and fixed by Lai. This bug was introduced during this merge window by commit 25511a477657 ("workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers") which started using WORKER_REBIND flag for idle rebind too. The bug is relatively easy to trigger if the CPU rapidly goes through off, on and then off (and stay off). The fix is on the safer side. This hasn't been on linux-next yet but I'm pushing early so that it can get more exposure before v3.6 release." * 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn()
2012-09-17workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn()Lai Jiangshan
busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed (CPU is down again). This used to be okay because the flag wasn't used for anything else. However, after 25511a477 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle workers to rebind. If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().
