      membarrier/x86: Provide core serializing command · 10bcc80e
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      There are two places where core serialization is needed by membarrier:
      
      1) When returning from the membarrier IPI,
      2) After scheduler updates curr to a thread with a different mm, before
         going back to user-space, since the curr->mm is used by membarrier to
         check whether it needs to send an IPI to that CPU.
      
      x86-32 uses IRET as return from interrupt, and both IRET and SYSEXIT to go
      back to user-space. The IRET instruction is core serializing, but not
      SYSEXIT.
      
      x86-64 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
      However, it can return to user-space through either SYSRETL (compat
      code), SYSRETQ, or IRET. Given that SYSRET{L,Q} is not core serializing,
      we rely instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core
      serialization after changing the current mm, and deal with the special
      case of kthread -> uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into
      active_mm) by adding a sync_core() in that specific case.
      
      Use the new sync_core_before_usermode() to guarantee this.

      membarrier: Provide core serializing command, *_SYNC_CORE · 70216e18
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim
      by JIT.
      
      Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
      documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
      serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
      IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
      going back to user-space). They should then select
      ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
      their architecture.
      
      Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that
      they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space,
      or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

      locking: Introduce sync_core_before_usermode() · e61938a9
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      Introduce an architecture function that ensures the current CPU
      issues a core serializing instruction before returning to usermode.
      
      This is needed for the membarrier "sync_core" command.
      
      Architectures defining the sync_core_before_usermode() static inline
      need to select ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE.

      membarrier: Provide GLOBAL_EXPEDITED command · c5f58bd5
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
      through shared memory.
      
      Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
      MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
      membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
      
      This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
      everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
      to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
      whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.
      
      There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
      specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
      all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
      don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
      MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
      
      This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
      disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
      simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
      
      In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
      command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
      MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
      compatibility.

      Document that membarrier requires a full barrier on transition from
      kernel thread to userspace thread. We currently have an implicit barrier
      from atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop() that ensures this.
      
      The x86 switch_mm_irqs_off() full barrier is currently provided by many

      powerpc, membarrier: Skip memory barrier in switch_mm() · 3ccfebed
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
      only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
      process that has registered to use expedited private.
      
      Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
      groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:
      
      It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
      number of threads using a VM. We can use
      (atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
      instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
      a single user, and that user only has a single thread.
      
      It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
      thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
      thread group.
      
      Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
      relying on thread flags. This means
      membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
      MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "Kernel side changes:
      
         - Clean up the x86 instruction decoder (Masami Hiramatsu)
      
         - Add new uprobes optimization for PUSH instructions on x86 (Yonghong
           Song)
      
         - Add MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS to the MSR events (Stephane Eranian)
      
         - Fix misc bugs, update documentation, plus various cleanups (Jiri
           Olsa)
      
        There's a large number of tooling side improvements:
      
         - Intel-PT/BTS improvements (Adrian Hunter)
      
         - Numerous 'perf trace' improvements (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - Introduce an errno code to string facility (Hendrik Brueckner)
      
         - Various build system improvements (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - Add support for CoreSight trace decoding by making the perf tools
           use the external openCSD (Mathieu Poirier, Tor Jeremiassen)
      
         - Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support (Kim
           Phillips)
      
         - libtraceevent updates (Steven Rostedt)
      
         - Intel vendor event JSON updates (Andi Kleen)
      
         - Introduce 'perf report --mmaps' and 'perf report --tasks' to show
           info present in 'perf.data' (Jiri Olsa, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time to the
           perf.data file header, so that when processing all samples in a
           'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
           when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
           in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices
           in addition to absolute ones.
      
           I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
           slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)
      
         - Allow system wide 'perf stat --per-thread', sorting the result (Jin
           Yao)

       "The timer departement presents:
      
         - A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
           introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
           hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
           into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
           initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.
      
           The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
           nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
           anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
           users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
           will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
           relevant maintainer trees.
      
           Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
           old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the

        have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
        metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
        even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
      
        It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
        require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
        that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
        field was checked.
      
        Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
        avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
        and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
        rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
      
        This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
        a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
        it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
        implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
        metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
      
        In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
        small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
        the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
        DAX, with 4k writes):

        A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
        other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

      Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
       "This is the main pull request for block IO related changes for the
        4.16 kernel. Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of
        improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains:
      
         - BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
           Paolo.
      
         - Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
           Christoph.
      
         - Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
           from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.
      
         - Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
           Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
           rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.
      
         - A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
           here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
           Johannes.
      
         - Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
           From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
           Weiping.
      
         - Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
           logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
           it's a stacked device.
      
         - Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
           preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.
      
         - Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
           quiescing.
      
         - BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
           can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.
      
         - Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
           scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
           a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.
      
         - null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
           exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.
      
         - Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
           this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
           me.
      
         - sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.
      
         - Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.
      
         - Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
           Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"
