Normally, netlink ports use the PID of the userspace process as the port ID.
If the PID is already in use by a port, the kernel will allocate another port
ID to avoid conflict. Re-name all references to netlink ports from pid to
portid to reflect this reality and avoid confusion with actual PIDs. Ports
use the __u32 type, so re-type all portids accordingly.

The synchronization needed after ftrace_ops are unregistered must happen
after the callback is disabled from becing called by functions.
The current location happens after the function is being removed from the
internal lists, but not after the function callbacks were disabled, leaving
the functions susceptible of being called after their callbacks are freed.
This affects perf and any externel users of function tracing (LTTng and
SystemTap).

With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people
calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper.
Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing
TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations.
While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the
existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits
right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but
right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop.
So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're
guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason.
So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the
function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on
load/store archs).
Also expose two new local_bh functions:
__local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt);
Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour.
The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock

Doing some different tests, I discovered that function graph tracing, when
filtered via the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files, does
not always keep with them if another function ftrace_ops is registered
to trace functions.
The reason is that function graph just happens to trace all functions
that the function tracer enables. When there was only one user of
function tracing, the function graph tracer did not need to worry about
being called by functions that it did not want to trace. But now that there
are other users, this becomes a problem.
For example, one just needs to do the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# cat trace

When the stack tracer was enabled, it enabled all functions to be traced, which
now the function graph tracer also traces. This is a side effect that should
not occur.
To fix this a test is added when the function tracing is changed, as well as when
the graph tracer is enabled, to see if anything other than the ftrace global_ops
function tracer is enabled. If so, then the graph tracer calls a test trampoline
that will look at the function that is being traced and compare it with the
filters defined by the global_ops.
As an optimization, if there's no other function tracers registered, or if
the only registered function tracers also use the global ops, the function
graph infrastructure will call the registered function graph callback directly
and not go through the test trampoline.

Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations:
local_bh_disable();
preempt_disable();
and for the unlock:
preempt_enable_no_resched();
local_bh_enable();
Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable
twice when you can do it in one go; use the new
__local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a
preempt_count value to add/sub.
So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to
add/sub to be done in one go.
As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage.
This reduces a 1000 loops of:
spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock);
spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock);
from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to
say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few
runs I did for each suggest it is so.

Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is
that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible
to get right.
The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl
bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is
undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us
hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks.
Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl
bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly
confusing imo.
Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we
actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case
the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl.
So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point
is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget.
This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control
and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that
this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to
need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface
for now.

Change both tests to use cpumask_subset() such that we test the root

Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing
logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of
tasks (as sched_rt does).
Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines
of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by
a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system
is heavily loaded.
The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by
design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt
on large multi-CPUs machines [1].
Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure
also for pull decisions is straightforward. However, we are currently
evaluating different (in order to decrease/avoid contention) data
structures to solve possibly both problems. We are also going to re-run
tests considering recent changes inside cpupri [2].

In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is
important that some method of having the allocation of the available
CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control.
This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed
at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the
-deadline tasks.
Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a
bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of
runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate
such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both
procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group
settings).
Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the
bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e.,
new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with
the same usage paradigm are added.
However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how
we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level.
Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually
very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization
cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP
configurations).
Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and
RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own
(while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level
throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth.
This patch, therefore:
- adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of:
* /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us,
* /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us,
that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth
available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks;
- couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces
that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt
-deadline tasks to stay below 100%.
This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks
can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below:
M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us)
It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and
be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with
the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that
needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of
the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation).
This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution,
what this commits does is:
- ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead,
when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's
deadline is postponed;
- the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime)
used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the
pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline.
Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner,
still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous
commit) pi-architecture.
We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but
clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start
discussion within the community. So, as always, comments, ideas, rants,
etc.. are welcome! :-)

Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code,
and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and
-priority tasks.
This is done mainly because:
- classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might
not be enough for representing a deadline;
- manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks),
which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases.
Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according
to the following logic:
- among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the
one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins;
- among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins;
- among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline
wins.
Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both
the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on
a pi-lock.

Make it possible to specify a period (different or equal than
deadline) for -deadline tasks. Relative deadlines (D_i) are used on
task arrivals to generate new scheduling (absolute) deadlines as "d =
t + D_i", and periods (P_i) to postpone the scheduling deadlines as "d
= d + P_i" when the budget is zero.
This is in general useful to model (and schedule) tasks that have slow
activation rates (long periods), but have to be scheduled soon once
activated (short deadlines).

Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic
migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if
runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing
where a task should migrate, when it is the case.
Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can
be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a
task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of
migrating, or forbidding migrations at all.
The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised:
- -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues,
- -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the
following:
* on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks
are always running;
* affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is
always respected.
Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with
an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between
runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled.
IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent
to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing
(push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull
the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU.
To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any
scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each
scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives
or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into
account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline.
E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake
up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task
with the latest deadline among the M executing ones.
In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the
deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used.
Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to
speed-up pushes.

Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for
SCHED_DEADLINE implementation.
Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their
initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy
are also added where they are needed.
Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called
SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline
First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called
Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate
the behaviour of tasks between each other.
The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase
(instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The
expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's
runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed
is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline
is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an
instance) activates plus the relative deadline.
The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute
deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each
task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline
length time interval, avoiding any interference between different
tasks (bandwidth isolation).
Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with
the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new
policy.
To summarize, this patch:
- introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed;
- implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new
scheduling class file;
- provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and
the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl
and the other existing scheduling classes.

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).
In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
i.e.:
- a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
- a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
- a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.
Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
legacy binaries.
For these reasons, this patch:
- defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
model described above;
- defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().
Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
available on other architectures is straightforward.
Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

In futex_wake() there is clearly no point in taking the hb->lock
if we know beforehand that there are no tasks to be woken. While
the hash bucket's plist head is a cheap way of knowing this, we
cannot rely 100% on it as there is a racy window between the
futex_wait call and when the task is actually added to the
plist. To this end, we couple it with the spinlock check as
tasks trying to enter the critical region are most likely
potential waiters that will be added to the plist, thus
preventing tasks sleeping forever if wakers don't acknowledge
all possible waiters.
Furthermore, the futex ordering guarantees are preserved,
ensuring that waiters either observe the changed user space
value before blocking or is woken by a concurrent waker. For
wakers, this is done by relying on the barriers in
get_futex_key_refs() -- for archs that do not have implicit mb
in atomic_inc(), we explicitly add them through a new
futex_get_mm function. For waiters we rely on the fact that
spin_lock calls already update the head counter, so spinners
are visible even if the lock hasn't been acquired yet.
For more details please refer to the updated comments in the
code and related discussion:

Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from its fixed,
smallish (for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as
its lack of NUMA awareness. Large systems, using many futexes,
can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes
hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same
hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we
have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and
different futexes hash to adjacent buckets.
This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small
systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to
round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs
accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system,
taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do
impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger,
this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of
this patch.
Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash
buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also
avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering
away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the
same cache line.
Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache,
tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its
NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes
instead of in a single one.
For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing --
making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning
-EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the
following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server:

Unlike recent modern userspace API such as:
epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC),
fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC),
signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC),
or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC),
perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC
(eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace.
The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow
perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec.
Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor
from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec,
without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the
associated race condition between the current thread and another
thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the
struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside
an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc()
using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know
whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW).
Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there.
The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized
the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other
needs to pointers to point to self.
This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union.
This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using
active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they
actually overlap. This also solves the initialization
problem.

Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is
experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified
commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA
node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load.
Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a
scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier
as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a
result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs
on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for
calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce
the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight
of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case.
wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it
is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the
near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load
of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by
task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide
search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the
historical behaviour.

ftrace_trace_function is a variable that holds what function will be called
directly by the assembly code (mcount). If just a single function is
registered and it handles recursion itself, then the assembly will call that
function directly without any helper function. It also passes in the
ftrace_op that was registered with the callback. The ftrace_op to send is
stored in the function_trace_op variable.
The ftrace_trace_function and function_trace_op needs to be coordinated such
that the called callback wont be called with the wrong ftrace_op, otherwise
bad things can happen if it expected a different op. Luckily, there's no
callback that doesn't use the helper functions that requires this. But
there soon will be and this needs to be fixed.
Use a set_function_trace_op to store the ftrace_op to set the
function_trace_op to when it is safe to do so (during the update function
within the breakpoint or stop machine calls). Or if dynamic ftrace is not
being used (static tracing) then we have to do a bit more synchronization
when the ftrace_trace_function is set as that takes affect immediately
(as oppose to dynamic ftrace doing it with the modification of the trampoline).

Currently there's no way to know what triggers exist on a kernel without
looking at the source of the kernel or randomly trying out triggers.
Instead of creating another file in the debugfs system, simply show
what available triggers are there when cat'ing the trigger file when
it has no events:
[root /sys/kernel/debug/tracing]# cat events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
# Available triggers:
# traceon traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event
This stays consistent with other debugfs files where meta data like
this is always proceeded with a '#' at the start of the line so that
tools can strip these out.
