2020-11-24sched/idle: Fix arch_cpu_idle() vs tracingPeter Zijlstra1-1/+1
We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU. Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry. (XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with interrupts enabled) Reported-by: Sven Schnelle <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Tested-by: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls() back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process creation work since we've added clone3().

2020-06-09mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already includedMike Rapoport1-1/+0
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h> in the files that include <linux/mm.h>. The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f done Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Brian Cain <[email protected]> Cc: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]> Cc: Chris Zankel <[email protected]> Cc: "David S.

2020-03-29um: time-travel: Rewrite as an event schedulerJohannes Berg1-37/+0
Instead of tracking all the various timer configurations, modify the time-travel mode to have an event scheduler and use a timer event on the scheduler to handle the different timer configurations. This doesn't change the function right now, but it prepares the code for having different kinds of events in the future (i.e. interrupts coming from other devices that are part of co-simulation.) While at it, also move time_travel_sleep() to time.c to reduce the externally visible API surface. Also, we really should mark time-travel as incompatible with SMP, even if UML doesn't support SMP yet. Finally, I noticed a bug while developing this - if we move time forward due to consuming time while reading the clock, we might move across the next event and that would cause us to go backward in time when we then handle that event. Fix that by invoking the whole event machine in this case, but in order to simplify this, make reading the clock only cost something when interrupts are not disabled. Otherwise, we'd have to hook into the interrupt delivery machinery etc. and that's somewhat intrusive.

2019-09-15um: time-travel: Restrict time update in IRQ handlerJohannes Berg1-3/+6
We currently do the time updates in the timer handler, even if we just call the timer handler ourselves. In basic mode we must in fact do it there since otherwise the OS timer signal won't move time forward, but in inf-cpu mode we don't need to, and it's harder to understand. Restrict the update there to basic mode, adding a comment, and do it before calling the timer_handler() in inf-cpu mode.

2019-09-15um: time-travel: Fix periodic timersJohannes Berg1-1/+6
Periodic timers are broken, because the also only fire once. As it happens, Linux doesn't care because it only sets the timer to periodic very briefly during boot, and then switches it only between one-shot and off later. Nevertheless, fix the logic (we shouldn't even be looking at time_travel_timer_expiry unless the timer is enabled) and change the code to fire the timer periodically in periodic mode, in case it ever gets used in the future.

2019-08-23um: fix time travel modeJohannes Berg1-1/+1
Unfortunately, my build fix for when time travel mode isn't enabled broke time travel mode, because I forgot that we need to use the timer time after the timer has been marked disabled, and thus need to leave the time stored instead of zeroing it. Fix that by splitting the inline into two, so we can call only the _mode() one in the relevant code path.

2019-07-02um: Support time travel modeJohannes Berg1-1/+41
Sometimes it can be useful to run with "time travel" inside the UML instance, for example for testing. For example, some tests for the wireless subsystem and userspace are based on hwsim, a virtual wireless adapter. Some tests can take a long time to run because they e.g. wait for 120 seconds to elapse for some regulatory checks. This obviously goes faster if it need not actually wait that long, but time inside the test environment just "bumps up" when there's nothing to do. Add CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT to enable code to support such modes at runtime, selected on the command line: * just "time-travel", in which time inside the UML instance can move faster than real time, if there's nothing to do * "time-travel=inf-cpu" in which time also moves slower and any CPU processing takes no time at all, which allows to implement consistent behaviour regardless of host CPU load (or speed) or debug overhead. An additional "time-travel-start=<seconds>" parameter is also supported in this case to start the wall clock at this time (in unix epoch). With this enabled, the test mentioned above goes from a runtime of about 140 seconds (with startup overhead and all) to being CPU bound and finishing in 15 seconds (on my slow laptop).

2016-05-21um: add extended processor state save/restore supportEli Cooper1-1/+1
This patch extends save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() to use PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET with the XSTATE note type, adding support for new processor state extensions between context switches. When the new ptrace requests are unavailable, it falls back to the old PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS methods, which have been renamed to save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers(). Now these functions expect *fp_regs to have the space of an _xstate struct. Thus, this also makes ptrace in UML responde to PTRACE_GETFPREGS/_SETFPREG requests with a user_i387_struct (thus independent from HOST_FP_SIZE), and by calling save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers() instead of the extended save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() functions.

2015-11-06um: Switch clocksource to hrtimersAnton Ivanov1-4/+4
UML is using an obsolete itimer call for all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing in its userspace portion resulting in a long list of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the timer being dependent on it running and the cpu load. This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer correctly to the UML userspace. Fixes: - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events are relayed instead. - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines - tcp behaviour especially under load - various timer related corner cases Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

2011-12-11nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu()Frederic Weisbecker1-2/+4
Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would needlessly process any RCU job. Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

2011-12-11nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stopFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after the tick is stopped. To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs: tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu(). If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(). Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly: - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put to sleep. - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken up.

2011-12-11nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logicFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two places: - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in case the irq changed some internal state that requires this action. There are only few minor differences between both that are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended quiescent state from idle loop entry only. Split this function into: - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU extended quiescent state. - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called). To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed into tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle loop.
