      sched/cputime: Do not scale when utime == 0 · 5a8e01f8
      Stanislaw Gruszka authored
      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 ?        S    12:42   0:00 [rcuc/0]
       root         9  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    12:42   0:00 [rcub/0]
       root        10 62422329  0.0  0     0 ?        R    12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
       root        11  0.1  0.0      0     0 ?        S    12:42   0:02 [rcuop/0]
       root        12 62422329  0.0  0     0 ?        S    12:42 21114581:35 [rcuop/1]
       root        10 62422329  0.0  0     0 ?        R    12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
      
      or overflowed utime values read directly from /proc/$PID/stat

      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. "

      vtime: Always debug check snapshot source _before_ updating it · af2350bd
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      vtime: Always scale generic vtime accounting results · b854fafa
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      m68k: hardirq_count() only need preempt_mask.h · a703f9b7
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      hardirq: Split preempt count mask definitions · 2d4b8473
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      context_tracking: Split low level state headers · e7358b3b
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      get_vtime_delta() must be called under the task vtime_seqlock

      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.

      context_tracking: Remove full dynticks' hacky dependency on wide context tracking · d84d27a4
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      nohz: Only enable context tracking on full dynticks CPUs · 2e709338
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      context_tracking: Fix runtime CPU off-case · d65ec121
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      context_tracing: Fix guest accounting with native vtime · 2d854e57
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.
