scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime results in negative value. User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME values on ps/top, for example: $ ps aux | grep rcu root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before re-evaluating the need for the tick. Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many() that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate the tick. on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario. So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all() so that the usual irq work takes care of it.

Merge branch 'timers/nohz-v3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/nohz Pull nohz improvements from Frederic Weisbecker: " It mostly contains fixes and full dynticks off-case optimizations. I believe that distros want to enable this feature so it seems important to optimize the case where the "nohz_full=" parameter is empty. ie: I'm trying to remove any performance regression that comes with NO_HZ_FULL=y when the feature is not used. This patchset improves the current situation a lot (off-case appears to be around 11% faster with hackbench, although I guess it may vary depending on the configuration but it should be significantly faster in any case) now there is still some work to do: I can still observe a remaining loss of 1.6% throughput seen with hackbench compared to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n.

The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check that the source of the snapshot is valid. Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless. This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.

The cputime accounting in full dynticks can be a subtle mixup of CPUs using tick based accounting and others using generic vtime. As long as the tick can have a share on producing these stats, we want to scale the result against CFS precise accounting as the tick can miss some task hiding between the periodic interrupt.

The m68k irqflags implementation needs to check hardirq context in some cases. As it is a very low level header file, it's better to include preempt_mask.h rather than hardirq.h when the only purpose is to use irq context APIs. This way we can avoid future header circular dependencies when vtime.h will expand to use static keys.

In order to use static keys with vtime APIs, we'll need to add static keys headers to vtime.h hardirq.h then becomes a problem because it needs vtime.h for irqtime accounting in irq_enter/irq_exit, but it's often included just to get the irq mask definitions in the task preempt_count field and the APIs that come along: in_interrupt(), in_hardirq(), etc... Some very low level arch headers sometimes need these masks and APIs such as arch/m68k/include/asm/irqflags.h for example. But they don't want to include hardirq.h if vtime.h, jump_label.h and even workqueue.h come along. Including such bloated high level header from arch headers can quickly result in circular headers dependency that crash the build. So let's split hardirq.h in two parts: * preempt_mask.h that gathers all the preempt_count definitions and the APIs associated. This one is considered low level and can be safely included anywhere. * hardirq.h that includes the previous one. It defines the irq entry/exit APIs. To avoid future circular headers dependencies, the preempt_mask.h inclusion can replace hardirq.h on files that don't implement irq low level handlers but just need the atomic/context check APIs.

We plan to use the context tracking static key on inline vtime APIs. For this we need to include the context tracking headers from those of vtime. However vtime headers need to stay low level because they are included in hardirq.h that mostly contains standalone definitions. But context_tracking.h includes sched.h for a few task_struct references, therefore it wouldn't be sensible to include it from vtime.h To solve this, lets split the context tracking headers and move out the pure state definitions that only require a few low level headers. We can safely include that small part in vtime.h later. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

get_vtime_delta() must be called under the task vtime_seqlock with the code that does the cputime accounting flush. Otherwise the cputime reader can be fooled and run into a race where it sees the snapshot update but misses the cputime flush. As a result it can report a cputime that is way too short.

Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a more CPU-finegrained fashion. Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking and another range that does. Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks subsystem to the context tracking. This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking itself is still necessary everywhere. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

As long as the context tracking is enabled on any CPU, even a single one, all other CPUs need to keep track of their user <-> kernel boundaries cross as well. This is because a task can sleep while servicing an exception that happened in the kernel or in userspace. Then when the task eventually wakes up and return from the exception, the CPU needs to know if we resume in userspace or in the kernel. exception_exit() get this information from exception_enter() that saved the previous state. If the CPU where the exception happened didn't keep track of these informations, exception_exit() doesn't know which state tracking to restore on the CPU where the task got migrated and we may return to userspace with the context tracking subsystem thinking that we are in kernel mode. This can be fixed in the long term if we move our context tracking probes on very low level arch fast path user <-> kernel boundary, although even that is worrisome as an exception can still happen in the few instructions between the probe and the actual iret. Also we are not yet ready to set these probes in the fast path given the potential overhead problem it induces. So let's fix this by always enable context tracking even on CPUs that are not in the full dynticks range. OTOH we can spare the rcu_user_*() and vtime_user_*() calls there because the tick runs on these CPUs and we can handle RCU state machine and cputime accounting through it.

1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter() and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed on kvm context switches. 2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we run in tick based accounting for these CPUs. Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations finally work.

When btrfs readdir() hits the last entry it sets the readdir offset to a huge value to stop buggy apps from breaking when the same name is returned by readdir() with concurrent rename()s. But unconditionally setting the offset to INT_MAX causes readdir() to loop returning any entries with offsets past INT_MAX. It only takes a few hours of constant file creation and removal to create entries past INT_MAX. So let's set the huge offset to LLONG_MAX if the last entry has already overflowed 32bit loff_t. Without large offsets behaviour is identical. With large offsets 64bit apps will work and 32bit apps will be no more broken than they currently are if they see large offsets.

A user reported a panic when running with autodefrag and deleting snapshots. This is because we could end up trying to add the root to the dead roots list twice. To fix this check to see if we are empty before adding ourselves to the dead roots list. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@fusionio.com>
