When scheduling, it is better to prefer a separate physical core rather than the SMT sibling of a high priority core. The existing formula to compute priorities takes such fact in consideration. There may exist, however, combinations of priorities (i.e., maximum frequencies) in which the priority of high-numbered SMT siblings of high-priority cores collides with the priority of low-numbered SMT siblings of low-priority cores. Consider for instance an SMT2 system with CPUs [0, 1] with priority 60 and [2, 3] with priority 30(CPUs in brackets are SMT siblings. In such a case, the resulting priorities would be [120, 60], [60, 30]. Thus, to ensure that CPU2 has higher priority than CPU1, divide the raw priority by the squared SMT iterator. The resulting priorities are [120, 30]. [60, 15]. Originally-by:

With enabled threaded interrupts the nouveau driver reported the following: | Chain exists of: | &mm->mmap_lock#2 --> &device->mutex --> &cpuset_rwsem | | Possible unsafe locking scenario: | | CPU0 CPU1 | ---- ---- | lock(&cpuset_rwsem); | lock(&device->mutex); | lock(&cpuset_rwsem); | lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2); The device->mutex is nvkm_device::mutex. Unblocking the lockchain at `cpuset_rwsem' is probably the easiest thing to do. Move the priority reset to the start of the newly created thread.

Currently the boot defined preempt behaviour (aka dynamic preempt) selects full preemption by default when the "preempt=" boot parameter is omitted. However distros may rather want to default to either no preemption or voluntary preemption. To provide with this flexibility, make dynamic preemption a visible Kconfig option and adapt the preemption behaviour selected by the user to either static or dynamic preemption. Signed-off-by:

After we make the struct sched_statistics and the helpers of it independent of fair sched class, we can easily use the schedstats facility for deadline sched class. The schedstat usage in DL sched class is similar with fair sched class, for example, fair deadline enqueue update_stats_enqueue_fair update_stats_enqueue_dl dequeue update_stats_dequeue_fair update_stats_dequeue_dl put_prev_task update_stats_wait_start update_stats_wait_start_dl set_next_task update_stats_wait_end update_stats_wait_end_dl The user can get the schedstats information in the same way in fair sched class.

Currently in schedstats we have sum_sleep_runtime and iowait_sum, but there's no metric to show how long the task is in D state. Once a task in D state, it means the task is blocked in the kernel, for example the task may be waiting for a mutex. The D state is more frequent than iowait, and it is more critital than S state. So it is worth to add a metric to measure it. Signed-off-by:

The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se) The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly. Then the new helpers are update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, struct sched_statistics *stats) which are independent of fair sched class. To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when !schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c, __update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, struct sched_statistics *stats) The size of vmlinux as follows, Before After Size of vmlinux 826308552 826304640 The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after the change.

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal. After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows, struct task_struct { ... struct sched_entity se; struct sched_rt_entity rt; struct sched_dl_entity dl; ... struct sched_statistics stats; ... }; Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by Peter - struct sched_entity_stats { struct sched_entity se; struct sched_statistics stats; } __no_randomize_layout; Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats. The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline aligned. As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values are in usecs/op. Before After kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4 kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5 [These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new different test machine.] Almost no impact on the sched performance.

Give reduced sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities. As a result, woken SCHED_IDLE entities will take longer to preempt normal entities. The benefit of this change is to make it less likely that a newly woken SCHED_IDLE entity will preempt a short-running normal entity before it blocks. We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that idle<->idle competition retains some fairness. Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of which was set to SCHED_IDLE. Without this patch, wakeup latency for the SCHED_IDLE thread was ~1-2ms, with the patch the wakeup latency was ~5ms. Signed-off-by:

Use a small, non-scaled min granularity for SCHED_IDLE entities, when competing with normal entities. This reduces the latency of getting a normal entity back on cpu, at the expense of increased context switch frequency of SCHED_IDLE entities. The benefit of this change is to reduce the round-robin latency for normal entities when competing with a SCHED_IDLE entity. Example: on a machine with HZ=1000, spawned two threads, one of which is SCHED_IDLE, and affined to one cpu. Without this patch, the SCHED_IDLE thread runs for 4ms then waits for 1.4s. With this patch, it runs for 1ms and waits 340ms (as it round-robins with the other thread). Signed-off-by:

/proc/uptime reports idle time by reading the CPUTIME_IDLE field from the per-cpu kcpustats. However, on NO_HZ systems, idle time is not continually updated on idle cpus, leading this value to appear incorrectly small. /proc/stat performs an accounting update when reading idle time; we can use the same approach for uptime. With this patch, /proc/stat and /proc/uptime now agree on idle time. Additionally, the following shows idle time tick up consistently on an idle machine: (while true; do cat /proc/uptime; sleep 1; done) | awk '{print $2-prev; prev=$2}' Reported-by:Luigi Rizzo <lrizzo@google.com> Signed-off-by:

With PREEMPT_RT enabled all hrtimers callbacks will be invoked in softirq mode unless they are explicitly marked as HRTIMER_MODE_HARD. During boot kthread_bind() is used for the creation of per-CPU threads and then hangs in wait_task_inactive() if the ksoftirqd is not yet up and running. The hang disappeared since commit 26c7295b ("kthread: Do not preempt current task if it is going to call schedule()") but enabling function trace on boot reliably leads to the freeze on boot behaviour again. The timer in wait_task_inactive() can not be directly used by a user interface to abuse it and create a mass wake up of several tasks at the same time leading to long sections with disabled interrupts. Therefore it is safe to make the timer HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD. Switch the timer to HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD. Signed-off-by:

Consider a system with some NOHZ-idle CPUs, such that nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S nohz.next_balance = T When a new CPU k goes NOHZ idle (nohz_balance_enter_idle()), we end up with: nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S \U {k} nohz.next_balance = T Note that the nohz.next_balance hasn't changed - it won't be updated until a NOHZ balance is triggered. This is problematic if the newly NOHZ idle CPU has an earlier rq.next_balance than the other NOHZ idle CPUs, IOW if: cpu_rq(k).next_balance < nohz.next_balance In such scenarios, the existing nohz.next_balance will prevent any NOHZ balance from happening, which itself will prevent nohz.next_balance from being updated to this new cpu_rq(k).next_balance. Unnecessary load balance delays of over 12ms caused by this were observed on an arm64 RB5 board. Use the new nohz.needs_update flag to mark the presence of newly-idle CPUs that need their rq->next_balance to be collated into nohz.next_balance. Trigger a NOHZ_NEXT_KICK when the flag is set.

A following patch will trigger NOHZ idle balances as a means to update nohz.next_balance. Vincent noted that blocked load updates can have non-negligible overhead, which should be avoided if the intent is to only update nohz.next_balance. Add a new NOHZ balance kick flag, NOHZ_NEXT_KICK. Gate NOHZ blocked load update by the presence of NOHZ_STATS_KICK - currently all NOHZ balance kicks will have the NOHZ_STATS_KICK flag set, so no change in behaviour is expected. Suggested-by:

The objtool warning that the kvm instruction emulation code triggered wasn't very useful: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception in that it helpfully tells you which symbol name it had trouble figuring out the relocation for, but it doesn't actually say what the unknown symbol type was that triggered it all. In this case it was because of missing type information (type 0, aka STT_NOTYPE), but on the whole it really should just have printed that out as part of the message. Because if this warning triggers, that's very much the first thing you want to know - why did reloc2sec_off() return failure for that symbol? So rather than just saying you can't handle some type of symbol without saying what the type _was_, just print out the type number too.

The recent change to make objtool aware of more symbol relocation types (commit 24ff6525: "objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types") also added another check, and resulted in this objtool warning when building kvm on x86: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception The reason seems to be that kvm_fastop_exception() is marked as a global symbol, which causes the relocation to ke kept around for objtool. And at the same time, the kvm_fastop_exception definition (which is done as an inline asm statement) doesn't actually set the type of the global, which then makes objtool unhappy. The minimal fix is to just not mark kvm_fastop_exception as being a global symbol. It's only used in that one compilation unit anyway, so it was always pointless. That's how all the other local exception table labels are done. I'm not entirely happy about the kinds of games that the kvm code plays with doing its own exception handling, and the fact that it confused objtool is most definitely a symptom of the code being a bit too subtle and ad-hoc. But at least this trivial one-liner makes objtool no longer upset about what is going on.

Unfortunately it was auto-selected for stable as well, so now 5.14.7 suffers from it too. Hopefully stable will pick up this revert quickly too, so we can remove the issue on that end as well. - Add a quirk for Apple NVMe controllers, which due to their non-compliance broke due to the introduction of command sequences (Keith) - Use shifts in nbd, fixing a __divdi3 issue (Nick)" * tag 'block-5.15-2021-10-01' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: nbd: use shifts rather than multiplies Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges" nvme: add command id quirk for apple controllers -

In cachefiles_mark_object_buried, the dentry in question may not have an owner, and thus our cachefiles_object pointer may be NULL when calling the tracepoint, in which case we will also not have a valid debug_id to print in the tracepoint. Check for NULL object in the tracepoint and if so, just set debug_id to MAX_UINT as was done in 2908f5e1 ("fscache: Add a cookie debug ID and use that in traces"). This fixes the following oops: FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles) CacheFiles: File cache on vdc registered ...
