* | | | | sched: Throttle entities exceeding their allowed bandwidthPaul Turner2011-08-141-2/+50

There are 2 points that we must check whether it's time to set throttled state: put_prev_entity() and enqueue_entity(). - put_prev_entity() is the typical throttle path, we reach it by exceeding our allocated run-time within update_curr()->account_cfs_rq_runtime() and going through a reschedule. - enqueue_entity() covers the case of a wake-up into an already throttled group. In this case we know the group cannot be on_rq and can throttle immediately. Checks are added at time of put_prev_entity() and enqueue_entity() Signed-off-by: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110721184758.091415417@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* | | | | sched: Migrate throttled tasks on HOTPLUGPaul Turner2011-08-141-0/+27

The regular 'escape' path for a thread that is blocked at offline is via ttwu->select_task_rq, however this will not handle a throttled group since there are no individual thread wakeups on an unthrottle. Resolve this by unthrottling offline cpus so that threads can be migrated.

* | | | | sched: Prevent buddy interactions with throttled entitiesPaul Turner2011-08-141-1/+17

As a result we must ensure that throttled entities are not falsely nominated as buddies. The fact that entities are dequeued within throttle_entity is not sufficient for clearing buddy status as the nomination may occur after throttling.

However, both of these operations work on 'active' lists and are not inherently aware of what group hierarchies may be present. In some cases this may be side-stepped (e.g. we could sideload via tg_load_down in load balance) while in others (e.g. update_shares()) it is more difficult to compute without incurring some O(n^2) costs. Instead, track hierarchicaal throttled state at time of transition. This allows us to easily identify whether an entity belongs to a throttled hierarchy and avoid incorrect interactions with it. Also, when an entity leaves a throttled hierarchy we need to advance its time averaging for shares averaging so that the elapsed throttled time is not considered as part of the cfs_rq's operation. We also use this information to prevent buddy interactions in the wakeup and yield_to() paths.

Most importantly, runtime that is state (from a previous period) should not be locally consumable. We take advantage of existing sched_clock synchronization about the jiffy to efficiently detect whether we have (globally) crossed a quota boundary above. One catch is that the direction of spread on sched_clock is undefined, specifically, we don't know whether our local clock is behind or ahead of the one responsible for the current expiration time. Fortunately we can differentiate these by considering whether the global deadline has advanced. If it has not, then we assume our clock to be "fast" and advance our local expiration; otherwise, we know the deadline has truly passed and we expire our local runtime.

The primary motivation for this is that with scheduling classes supporting bandwidth throttling it is possible for entities participating in throttled sub-trees to not have root visible changes in rq->nr_running across activate and de-activate operations. This in turn leads to incorrect idle and weight-per-task load balance decisions. This also allows us to make a small fixlet to the fastpath in pick_next_task() under group scheduling. Note: this issue also exists with the existing sched_rt throttling mechanism. This patch does not address that.

* | | | | sched/cpupri: Fix memory barriers for vec updates to always be in orderSteven Rostedt2011-08-141-3/+25

Thanks to Mike Galbraith for pointing that out. I compiled and booted this patch with no issues. ] Re-examining the cpupri patch, I see there's a possible race because the update of the two priorities vec->counts are not protected by a memory barrier. When a RT runqueue is overloaded and wants to push an RT task to another runqueue, it scans the RT priority vectors in a loop from lowest priority to highest. When we queue or dequeue an RT task that changes a runqueue's highest priority task, we update the vectors to show that a runqueue is rated at a different priority. To do this, we first set the new priority mask, and increment the vec->count, and then set the old priority mask by decrementing the vec->count. If we are lowering the runqueue's RT priority rating, it will trigger a RT pull, and we do not care if we miss pushing to this runqueue or not. But if we raise the priority, but the priority is still lower than an RT task that is looking to be pushed, we must make sure that this runqueue is still seen by the push algorithm (the loop). Because the loop reads from lowest to highest, and the new priority is set before the old one is cleared, we will either see the new or old priority set and the vector will be checked. But! Since there's no memory barrier between the updates of the two, the old count may be decremented first before the new count is incremented. This means the loop may see the old count of zero and skip it, and also the new count of zero before it was updated. A possible runqueue that the RT task could move to could be missed. A conditional memory barrier is placed between the vec->count updates and is only called when both updates are done. The smp_wmb() has also been changed to smp_mb__before_atomic_inc/dec(), as they are not needed by archs that already synchronize atomic_inc/dec(). The smp_rmb() has been moved to be called at every iteration of the loop so that the race between seeing the two updates is visible by each iteration of the loop, as an arch is free to optimize the reading of memory of the counters in the loop.

This is because of the RT push/pull logic takes an agressive approach for migrating RT tasks. The cpupri logic is in place to improve the performance of the push/pull when dealing with large number CPU machines. The problem though is a vec->lock is required, where a vec is a global per RT priority structure. That is, if there are lots of RT tasks at the same priority, every time they are added or removed from the RT queue, this global vec->lock is taken. Now that more kernel threads are becoming RT (RCU boost and threaded interrupts) this is becoming much more of an issue. There are two variables that are being synced by the vec->lock. The cpupri bitmask, and the vec->counter. The cpupri bitmask is one bit per priority. If a RT priority vec has a process queued, then the vec->count is > 0 and the cpupri bitmask is set for that RT priority. If the cpupri bitmask gets out of sync with the vec->counter, we could end up pushing a low proirity RT task to a high priority queue. That RT task that could have run immediately could be queued on a run queue with a higher priority task indefinitely. The solution is not to use the cpupri bitmask and just look at the vec->count directly when doing a pull. The cpupri bitmask is just a fast way to scan the RT priorities when a pull is made. Instead of using the bitmask, and just examine all RT priorities, and look at the vec->counts, we could eliminate the vec->lock. The scan of RT tasks is to find a run queue that we can push an RT task to, and we do not push to a high priority queue, thus the scan only needs to go from 1 to RT task->prio, and not all 100 RT priorities. The push algorithm, which does the scan of RT priorities (and scan of the bitmask) only happens when we have an overloaded RT run queue (more than one RT task queued). The grabbing of the vec->lock happens every time any RT task is queued or dequeued on the run queue for that priority. The slowing down of the scan by not using a bitmask is negligible by the speed up of removing the vec->lock contention, and replacing it with an atomic counter and memory barrier. To prove this, I wrote a patch that times both the loop and the code that grabs the vec->locks. I passed the patches to various people (and companies) to test and show the results. I let everyone choose their own load to test, giving different loads on the system, for various different setups. Here's some of the results: (snipping to a few CPUs to not make this change log huge, but the results were consistent across the entire system). System 1 (24 CPUs) Before patch: CPU: Name Count Max Min Average Total ---- ---- ----- --- --- ------- ----- [...] cpu 20: loop 3057 1.766 0.061 0.642 1963.170 vec 6782949 90.469 0.089 0.414 2811760.503 cpu 21: loop 2617 1.723 0.062 0.641 1679.074 vec 6782810 90.499 0.089 0.291 1978499.900 cpu 22: loop 2212 1.863 0.063 0.699 1547.160 vec 6767244 85.685 0.089 0.435 2949676.898 cpu 23: loop 2320 2.013 0.062 0.594 1380.265 vec 6781694 87.923 0.088 0.431 2928538.224 After patch: cpu 20: loop 2078 1.579 0.061 0.533 1108.006 vec 6164555 5.704 0.060 0.143 885185.809 cpu 21: loop 2268 1.712 0.065 0.575 1305.248 vec 6153376 5.558 0.060 0.187 1154960.469 cpu 22: loop 1542 1.639 0.095 0.533 823.249 vec 6156510 5.720 0.060 0.190 1172727.232 cpu 23: loop 1650 1.733 0.068 0.545 900.781 vec 6170784 5.533 0.060 0.167 1034287.953 All times are in microseconds. The 'loop' is the amount of time spent doing the loop across the priorities (before patch uses bitmask). the 'vec' is the amount of time in the code that requires grabbing the vec->lock. The second patch just does not have the vec lock, but encompasses the same code. Amazingly the loop code even went down on average. The vec code went from .5 down to .18, that's more than half the time spent! Note, more than one test was run, but they all had the same results. System 2 (64 CPUs) Before patch: CPU: Name Count Max Min Average Total ---- ---- ----- --- --- ------- ----- cpu 60: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 5410840 277.954 0.084 0.782 4232895.727 cpu 61: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 4915648 188.399 0.084 0.570 2803220.301 cpu 62: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 5356076 276.417 0.085 0.786 4214544.548 cpu 63: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 4891837 170.531 0.085 0.799 3910948.833 After patch: cpu 60: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 5365118 5.080 0.021 0.063 340490.267 cpu 61: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 4898590 1.757 0.019 0.071 347903.615 cpu 62: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 5737130 3.067 0.021 0.119 687108.734 cpu 63: loop 0 0 0 0 0 vec 4903228 1.822 0.021 0.071 348506.477 The test run during the measurement did not have any (very few, from other CPUs) RT tasks pushing. But this shows that it helped out tremendously with the contention, as the contention happens because the vec->lock is taken only on queuing at an RT priority, and different CPUs that queue tasks at the same priority will have contention. I tested on my own 4 CPU machine with the following results: Before patch: CPU: Name Count Max Min Average Total ---- ---- ----- --- --- ------- ----- cpu 0: loop 2377 1.489 0.158 0.588 1398.395 vec 4484 770.146 2.301 4.396 19711.755 cpu 1: loop 2169 1.962 0.160 0.576 1250.110 vec 4425 152.769 2.297 4.030 17834.228 cpu 2: loop 2324 1.749 0.155 0.559 1299.799 vec 4368 779.632 2.325 4.665 20379.268 cpu 3: loop 2325 1.629 0.157 0.561 1306.113 vec 4650 408.782 2.394 4.348 20222.577 After patch: CPU: Name Count Max Min Average Total ---- ---- ----- --- --- ------- ----- cpu 0: loop 2121 1.616 0.113 0.636 1349.189 vec 4303 1.151 0.225 0.421 1811.966 cpu 1: loop 2130 1.638 0.178 0.644 1372.927 vec 4627 1.379 0.235 0.428 1983.648 cpu 2: loop 2056 1.464 0.165 0.637 1310.141 vec 4471 1.311 0.217 0.433 1937.927 cpu 3: loop 2154 1.481 0.162 0.601 1295.083 vec 4236 1.253 0.230 0.425 1803.008 This was running my migrate.c code that can be found at: http://lwn.net/Articles/425763/ The migrate code does stress the RT tasks a bit. This shows that the loop did increase a little after the patch, but not by much. The vec code dropped dramatically. From 4.3us down to .42us. That's a 10x improvement!

* | | | | sched: Use pushable_tasks to determine next highest prioSteven Rostedt2011-08-141-43/+18

His patch removed the calculating of the next prio to just use the current prio when deteriming if we should examine a run queue to pull from. The problem with his patch was that it caused more false checks. Because we check a run queue for pushable tasks if the current priority of that run queue is higher in priority than the task about to run on our run queue. But after grabbing the locks and doing the real check, we find that there may not be a task that has a higher prio task to pull. Thus the locks were taken with nothing to do. I added some trace_printks() to record when and how many times the run queue locks were taken to check for pullable tasks, compared to how many times we pulled a task. With the current method, it was: 3806 locks taken vs 2812 pulled tasks With Hillf's patch: 6728 locks taken vs 2804 pulled tasks The number of times locks were taken to pull a task went up almost double with no more success rate. But his patch did get me thinking. When we look at the priority of the highest task to consider taking the locks to do a pull, a failure to pull can be one of the following: (in order of most likely) o RT task was pushed off already between the check and taking the lock o Waiting RT task can not be migrated o RT task's CPU affinity does not include the target run queue's CPU o RT task's priority changed between the check and taking the lock And with Hillf's patch, the thing that caused most of the failures, is the RT task to pull was not at the right priority to pull (not greater than the current RT task priority on the target run queue). Most of the above cases we can't help. But the current method does not check if the next highest prio RT task can be migrated or not, and if it can not, we still grab the locks to do the test (we don't find out about this fact until after we have the locks). I thought about this case, and realized that the pushable task plist that is maintained only holds RT tasks that can migrate. If we move the calculating of the next highest prio task from the inc/dec_rt_task() functions into the queuing of the pushable tasks, then we only measure the priorities of those tasks that we push, and we get this basically for free. Not only does this patch make the code a little more efficient, it cleans it up and makes it a little simpler. Thanks to Hillf Danton for inspiring me on this patch.

But it will be pushed if the rq is currently overloaded with RT tasks anyway. The issue is that we already queued the task, and if it does get pushed, it will have to be dequeued and requeued on the new run queue. The advantage with pushing it first is that we avoid this requeuing as we are pushing it off before the task is ever queued. See commit 318e0893ce3f524 ("sched: pre-route RT tasks on wakeup") for more details. The return of select_task_rq() when it is not a wake up has also been changed to return task_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id(). This is more of a sanity because the current only other user of select_task_rq() besides wake ups, is an exec, where task_cpu() should also be the same as smp_processor_id(). But if it is used for other purposes, lets keep the task on the same CPU. Why would we mant to migrate it to the current CPU?

Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

I noticed that having the jump_label.o included in the kernel but not used in any way still caused this increase in cycle count and wall time. Thus, I moved jump_label.o in the kernel/Makefile, thus changing the link order, and presumably moving it out of hot icache areas. This brought down the cycle count/time as expected. In addition to Paul's testing, I've tested the patch using a single 'static_branch()' in the getppid() path, and basically running tight loops of calls to getppid().

Commit ee24aebffb75 ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now") improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a recent kernel. Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in executing. So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when we've at least initialized stuff a bit.

Commit 26c4caea9d69 "don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode" changed add_del_listener(REGISTER) so that "next_cpu:" can reuse the listener allocated for the previous cpu, this doesn't look exactly right even if minor. Change the code to kfree() in the already-registered case, this case is unlikely anyway so the extra kmalloc_node() shouldn't hurt but looke more correct and clean. 2. use the plain list_for_each_entry() instead of _safe() to scan listeners->list. 3.
