tools include: Adopt ERR_CAST() from the kernel err.h header

2018-12-17T17:54:34+00:00

Add ERR_CAST(), so that tools can use it, just like the kernel. This addresses coccinelle checks that are being performed to tools/ in addition to kernel sources, so lets add this to cover that and to get tools code closer to kernel coding standards. This originally was introduced in the kernel headers in this cset: d1bc8e954452 ("Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.")

tools/kernel.h: Replace synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu()

2018-12-01T20:38:51+00:00

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu(). This commit therefore makes this change, even though it is but a comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc:

Merge branch 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox: "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree, more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to its users. This patch set 1. Introduces the XArray implementation 2. Converts the pagecache to use it 3. Converts memremap to use it The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows us to remove the radix tree code that supported it. I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're interested" * 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax: (90 commits) radix tree: Remove multiorder support radix tree test: Convert multiorder tests to XArray radix tree tests: Convert item_delete_rcu to XArray radix tree tests: Convert item_kill_tree to XArray radix tree tests: Move item_insert_order radix tree test suite: Remove multiorder benchmarking radix tree test suite: Remove __item_insert memremap: Convert to XArray xarray: Add range store functionality xarray: Move multiorder_check to in-kernel tests xarray: Move multiorder_shrink to kernel tests xarray: Move multiorder account test in-kernel radix tree test suite: Convert iteration test to XArray radix tree test suite: Convert tag_tagged_items to XArray radix tree: Remove radix_tree_clear_tags radix tree: Remove radix_tree_maybe_preload_order radix tree: Remove split/join code radix tree: Remove radix_tree_update_node_t page cache: Finish XArray conversion dax: Convert page fault handlers to XArray ...

xarray: Add XArray unconditional store operations

2018-10-21T14:45:57+00:00

xa_store() differs from radix_tree_insert() in that it will overwrite an existing element in the array rather than returning an error. This is the behaviour which most users want, and those that want more complex behaviour generally want to use the xas family of routines anyway. For memory allocation, xa_store() will first attempt to request memory from the slab allocator; if memory is not immediately available, it will drop the xa_lock and allocate memory, keeping a pointer in the xa_state. It does not use the per-CPU cache, although those will continue to exist until all radix tree users are converted to the xarray. This patch also includes xa_erase() and __xa_erase() for a streamlined way to store NULL. Since there is no need to allocate memory in order to store a NULL in the XArray, we do not need to trouble the user with deciding what memory allocation flags to use. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

xarray: Add XArray marks

2018-10-21T14:45:57+00:00

XArray marks are like the radix tree tags, only slightly more strongly typed. They are renamed in order to distinguish them from tagged pointers. This commit adds the basic get/set/clear operations. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

xarray: Add XArray load operation

2018-10-21T14:45:57+00:00

The xa_load function brings with it a lot of infrastructure; xa_empty(), xa_is_err(), and large chunks of the XArray advanced API that are used to implement xa_load. As the test-suite demonstrates, it is possible to use the XArray functions on a radix tree. The radix tree functions depend on the GFP flags being stored in the root of the tree, so it's not possible to use the radix tree functions on an XArray. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

tools, perf: add and use optimized ring_buffer_{read_head, write_tail} helpers

2018-10-19T20:43:08+00:00

Currently, on x86-64, perf uses LFENCE and MFENCE (rmb() and mb(), respectively) when processing events from the perf ring buffer which is unnecessarily expensive as we can do more lightweight in particular given this is critical fast-path in perf. According to Peter rmb()/mb() were added back then via a94d342b9cb0 ("tools/perf: Add required memory barriers") at a time where kernel still supported chips that needed it, but nowadays support for these has been ditched completely, therefore we can fix them up as well. While for x86-64, replacing rmb() and mb() with smp_*() variants would result in just a compiler barrier for the former and LOCK + ADD for the latter (__sync_synchronize() uses slower MFENCE by the way), Peter suggested we can use smp_{load_acquire,store_release}() instead for architectures where its implementation doesn't resolve in slower smp_mb(). Thus, e.g. in x86-64 we would be able to avoid CPU barrier entirely due to TSO. For architectures where the latter needs to use smp_mb() e.g. on arm, we stick to cheaper smp_rmb() variant for fetching the head. This work adds helpers ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail() for tools infrastructure that either switches to smp_load_acquire() for architectures where it is cheaper or uses READ_ONCE() + smp_rmb() barrier for those where it's not in order to fetch the data_head from the perf control page, and it uses smp_store_release() to write the data_tail. Latter is smp_mb() + WRITE_ONCE() combination or a cheaper variant if architecture allows for it. Those that rely on smp_rmb() and smp_mb() can further improve performance in a follow up step by implementing the two under tools/arch/*/include/asm/barrier.h such that they don't have to fallback to rmb() and mb() in tools/include/asm/barrier.h. Switch perf to use ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail() so it can make use of the optimizations. Later, we convert libbpf as well to use the same helpers. Side note [0]: the topic has been raised of whether one could simply use the C11 gcc builtins [1] for the smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() instead: __atomic_load_n(ptr, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE); __atomic_store_n(ptr, val, __ATOMIC_RELEASE); Kernel and (presumably) tooling shipped along with the kernel has a minimum requirement of being able to build with gcc-4.6 and the latter does not have C11 builtins. While generally the C11 memory models don't align with the kernel's, the C11 load-acquire and store-release alone /could/ suffice, however. Issue is that this is implementation dependent on how the load-acquire and store-release is done by the compiler and the mapping of supported compilers must align to be compatible with the kernel's implementation, and thus needs to be verified/tracked on a case by case basis whether they match (unless an architecture uses them also from kernel side). The implementations for smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() in this patch have been adapted from the kernel side ones to have a concrete and compatible mapping in place.

tools include: Adopt linux/bits.h

2018-10-08T17:23:43+00:00

So that we reduce the difference of tools/include/linux/bitops.h to the original kernel file, include/linux/bitops.h, trying to remove the need to define BITS_PER_LONG, to avoid clashes with asm/bitsperlong.h. And the things removed from tools/include/linux/bitops.h are really in linux/bits.h, so that we can have a copy and then tools/perf/check_headers.sh will tell us when new stuff gets added to linux/bits.h so that we can check if it is useful and if any adjustment needs to be done to the tools/{include,arch}/ copies.
