* thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counterAaron Lu2016-10-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter value. CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be reduced accordingly. To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced: MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch the global counter in two cases: 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page; 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero. Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it was ever used. And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired, I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero. Case used for test on Haswell EP: usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

* mm: make sure that kthreads will not refault oom reaped memoryMichal Hocko2016-10-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are only few use_mm() users in the kernel right now. Most of them write to the target memory but vhost driver relies on copy_from_user/get_user from a kernel thread context. This makes it impossible to reap the memory of an oom victim which shares the mm with the vhost kernel thread because it could see a zero page unexpectedly and theoretically make an incorrect decision visible outside of the killed task context. To quote Michael S. Tsirkin: : Getting an error from __get_user and friends is handled gracefully. : Getting zero instead of a real value will cause userspace : memory corruption. The vhost kernel thread is bound to an open fd of the vhost device which is not tight to the mm owner life cycle in general. The device fd can be inherited or passed over to another process which means that we really have to be careful about unexpected memory corruption because unlike for normal oom victims the result will be visible outside of the oom victim context. Make sure that no kthread context (users of use_mm) can ever see corrupted data because of the oom reaper and hook into the page fault path by checking MMF_UNSTABLE mm flag. __oom_reap_task_mm will set the flag before it starts unmapping the address space while the flag is checked after the page fault has been handled. If the flag is set then SIGBUS is triggered so any g-u-p user will get a error code. Regular tasks do not need this protection because all which share the mm are killed when the mm is reaped and so the corruption will not outlive them. This patch shouldn't have any visible effect at this moment because the OOM killer doesn't invoke oom reaper for tasks with mm shared with kthreads yet.

* mm, oom: get rid of signal_struct::oom_victimsMichal Hocko2016-10-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After "oom: keep mm of the killed task available" we can safely detect an oom victim by checking task->signal->oom_mm so we do not need the signal_struct counter anymore so let's get rid of it. This alone wouldn't be sufficient for nommu archs because exit_oom_victim doesn't hide the process from the oom killer anymore. We can, however, mark the mm with a MMF flag in __mmput. We can reuse MMF_OOM_REAPED and rename it to a more generic MMF_OOM_SKIP.

* oom: keep mm of the killed task availableMichal Hocko2016-10-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | oom_reap_task has to call exit_oom_victim in order to make sure that the oom vicim will not block the oom killer for ever. This is, however, opening new problems (e.g oom_killer_disable exclusion - see commit 74070542099c ("oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs. oom_killer_disable race")). exit_oom_victim should be only called from the victim's context ideally. One way to achieve this would be to rely on per mm_struct flags. We already have MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide a task from the oom killer since "mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init". The problem is that the exit path: do_exit exit_mm tsk->mm = NULL; mmput __mmput exit_oom_victim doesn't guarantee that exit_oom_victim will get called in a bounded amount of time. At least exit_aio depends on IO which might get blocked due to lack of memory and who knows what else is lurking there. This patch takes a different approach. We remember tsk->mm into the signal_struct and bind it to the signal struct life time for all oom victims. __oom_reap_task_mm as well as oom_scan_process_thread do not have to rely on find_lock_task_mm anymore and they will have a reliable reference to the mm struct. As a result all the oom specific communication inside the OOM killer can be done via tsk->signal->oom_mm. Increasing the signal_struct for something as unlikely as the oom killer is far from ideal but this approach will make the code much more reasonable and long term we even might want to move task->mm into the signal_struct anyway. In the next step we might want to make the oom killer exclusion and access to memory reserves completely independent which would be also nice.

* mm,oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twiceTetsuo Handa2016-10-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twice" tried to give the OOM reaper one more chance to retry using MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag. But the usefulness of the flag is rather limited and actually never shown in practice. If the flag is set, it means that the holder of mm->mmap_sem cannot call up_write() due to presumably being blocked at unkillable wait waiting for other thread's memory allocation. But since one of threads sharing that mm will queue that mm immediately via task_will_free_mem() shortcut (otherwise, oom_badness() will select the same mm again due to oom_score_adj value unchanged), retrying MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE mm is unlikely helpful. Let's always set MMF_OOM_REAPED.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently keep every task's stack around until the task_struct itself is freed. This means that we keep the stack allocation alive for longer than necessary and that, under load, we free stacks in big batches whenever RCU drops the last task reference. Neither of these is good for reuse of cache-hot memory, and freeing in batches prevents us from usefully caching small numbers of vmalloced stacks. On architectures that have thread_info on the stack, we can't easily change this, but on architectures that set THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, we can free it as soon as the task is dead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | select_idle_siblings() is a known pain point for a number of workloads; it either does too much or not enough and sometimes just does plain wrong. This rewrite attempts to address a number of issues (but sadly not all). The current code does an unconditional sched_domain iteration; with the intent of finding an idle core (on SMT hardware). The problems which this patch tries to address are: - its pointless to look for idle cores if the machine is real busy; at which point you're just wasting cycles. - it's behaviour is inconsistent between SMT and !SMT hardware in that !SMT hardware ends up doing a scan for any idle CPU in the LLC domain, while SMT hardware does a scan for idle cores and if that fails, falls back to a scan for idle threads on the 'target' core. The new code replaces the sched_domain scan with 3 explicit scans: 1) search for an idle core in the LLC 2) search for an idle CPU in the LLC 3) search for an idle thread in the 'target' core where 1 and 3 are conditional on SMT support and 1 and 2 have runtime heuristics to skip the step. Step 1) is conditional on sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores; when a cpu goes idle and sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores is false, we scan all SMT siblings of the CPU going idle. Similarly, we clear sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores when we fail to find an idle core. Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup. There is a significant fudge factor involved to deal with the variability of the averages. Esp. hackbench was sensitive to this. Step 3) is unconditional; we assume (also per step 1) that scanning all SMT siblings in a core is 'cheap'. With this; SMT systems gain step 2, which cures a few benchmarks -- notably one from Facebook. One 'feature' of the sched_domain iteration, which we preserve in the new code, is that it would start scanning from the 'target' CPU, instead of scanning the cpumask in cpu id order. This avoids multiple CPUs in the LLC scanning for idle to gang up and find the same CPU quite as much. The down side is that tasks can end up hopping across the LLC for no apparent reason.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Testing indicates that it is possible to improve performace significantly without increasing energy consumption too much by teaching cpufreq governors to bump up the CPU performance level if the in_iowait flag is set for the task in enqueue_task_fair(). For this purpose, define a new cpufreq_update_util() flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT and modify enqueue_task_fair() to pass that flag to cpufreq_update_util() in the in_iowait case. That generally requires cpufreq_update_util() to be called directly from there, because update_load_avg() may not be invoked in that case. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* | cpufreq / sched: Pass flags to cpufreq_update_util()Rafael J. Wysocki2016-08-161-4/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util() and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data. However, doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they already take would be clumsy, so avoid it. Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly. This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util() and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow. Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track updates from the RT and DL sched classes. Make it non-modular too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at large. Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util() and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

* mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twiceMichal Hocko2016-07-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

The scenarios are basically due to the fact that new tasks are not immediately attached and thereby differ from the normal situation -- a task is always attached to a cfs_rq load average (such that it includes its blocked contribution) and are explicitly detached/attached on migration to another cfs_rq. Scenario 1: switch to fair class p->sched_class = fair_class; if (queued) enqueue_task(p); ... enqueue_entity() enqueue_entity_load_avg() migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true) if (migrated) attach_entity_load_avg() check_class_changed() switched_from() (!fair) switched_to() (fair) switched_to_fair() attach_entity_load_avg() If @p is a new task that hasn't been fair before, it will have !last_update_time and, per the above, end up in attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_. Scenario 2: change between cgroups sched_move_group(p) if (queued) dequeue_task() task_move_group_fair() detach_task_cfs_rq() detach_entity_load_avg() set_task_rq() attach_task_cfs_rq() attach_entity_load_avg() if (queued) enqueue_task(); ... enqueue_entity() enqueue_entity_load_avg() migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true) if (migrated) attach_entity_load_avg() Similar as with scenario 1, if @p is a new task, it will have !load_update_time and we'll end up in attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_. Furthermore, notice how we do a detach_entity_load_avg() on something that wasn't attached to begin with. As stated above; the problem is that the new task isn't yet attached to the load tracking and thereby violates the invariant assumption. This patch remedies this by ensuring a new task is indeed properly attached to the load tracking on creation, through post_init_entity_util_avg(). Of course, this isn't entirely as straightforward as one might think, since the task is hashed before we call wake_up_new_task() and thus can be poked at. We avoid this by adding TASK_NEW and teaching cpu_cgroup_can_attach() to refuse such tasks.

But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and freeing functions are. Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That identity then meant that we would have things like ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node); ... tsk->stack = ti; which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code just gets to be entirely bogus. So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the allocation itself. This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's just that we clarify what the pointer means. The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd, but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and type change.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generally task_struct is only protected by RCU if it was found on a RCU protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()).

Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and modified cacheline. Reported-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the size of "struct signal_struct"->oom_flags member is sizeof(unsigned) bytes, but only one flag OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN which is updated by current thread is defined. We can convert OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN into a bool, and reuse the saved bytes for updating from the OOM killer and/or the OOM reaper thread. By the way, do we care about a race window between run_store() and swapoff() because it would be theoretically possible that two threads sharing the "struct signal_struct" concurrently call respective functions? If we care, we can make oom_flags an atomic_t.

Change userfaultfd_file_create() and userfaultfd_ctx_put() to use mm->mm_count to pin mm_struct. This means that atomic_inc_not_zero(mm->mm_users) is needed when we are going to actually play with this memory. Except handle_userfault() path doesn't need this, the caller must already have a reference. The patch adds the new trivial helper, mmget_not_zero(), it can have more users.

| * | mm,oom: speed up select_bad_process() loopTetsuo Handa2016-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 3a5dda7a17cf ("oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics"), select_bad_process() is using for_each_process_thread(). Since oom_unkillable_task() scans all threads in the caller's thread group and oom_task_origin() scans signal_struct of the caller's thread group, we don't need to call oom_unkillable_task() and oom_task_origin() on each thread. Also, since !mm test will be done later at oom_badness(), we don't need to do !mm test on each thread. Therefore, we only need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. Although the original code was correct it was quite inefficient because each thread group was scanned num_threads times which can be a lot especially with processes with many threads. Even though the OOM is extremely cold path it is always good to be as effective as possible when we are inside rcu_read_lock() - aka unpreemptible context. If we track number of TIF_MEMDIE threads inside signal_struct, we don't need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. This will allow select_bad_process() to use for_each_process(). This patch adds a counter to signal_struct for tracking how many TIF_MEMDIE threads are in a given thread group, and check it at oom_scan_process_thread() so that select_bad_process() can use for_each_process() rather than for_each_process_thread().

If that happens the oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process next oom victim. We should strive for making this context as reliable and independent on other subsystems as much as possible. Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async (WQ) context. This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't bind too much memory anymore. The only exception is when mmap_sem trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often. The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for (unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes (as they do not share signal struct). If the mm had only small amount of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation. Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set. Set the flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task. This will force the select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as no such task is sacrificed for its parent.

One is to remember processes killed by LMK, and the other is to accelerate termination of processes killed by LMK. But since LMK is invoked as a memory shrinker function, there still should be some memory available. It is very likely that memory allocations by processes killed by LMK will succeed without using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via TIF_MEMDIE. Even if their allocations cannot escape from memory allocation loop unless they use ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, lowmem_deathpending_timeout can guarantee forward progress by choosing next victim process. On the other hand, mark_oom_victim() assumes that it must be called with oom_lock held and it must not be called after oom_killer_disable() was called. But LMK is calling it without holding oom_lock and checking oom_killer_disabled. It is possible that LMK calls mark_oom_victim() due to allocation requests by kernel threads after current thread returned from oom_killer_disabled(). This will break synchronization for PM/suspend. This patch introduces per a task_struct flag for remembering processes killed by LMK, and replaces TIF_MEMDIE with that flag. By applying this patch, assumption by mark_oom_victim() becomes true.

Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree ones). There are two main differences between it and the existing governors. First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself. Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU performance right away without having to spawn work items to be executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it is used on a large number of systems. The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging. There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this generic mechanism. In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and provided via the ACPI _PPC object. The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated. The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in a number of places. Specifics: - New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki) - Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao, Marc Gonzalez) - Support for ACPI _PPC and CPU frequency limits in the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas Pandruvada) - Fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq core and generic governor code (Rafael Wysocki, Sai Gurrappadi) - intel_pstate driver optimizations and cleanups (Rafael Wysocki, Philippe Longepe, Chen Yu, Joe Perches) - cpufreq powernv driver fixes and cleanups (Akshay Adiga, Shilpasri Bhat) - cpufreq qoriq driver fixes and cleanups (Jia Hongtao) - ACPI cpufreq driver cleanups (Viresh Kumar) - Assorted cpufreq driver updates (Ashwin Chaugule, Geliang Tang, Javier Martinez Canillas, Paul Gortmaker, Sudeep Holla) - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups (Joe Perches, Arnd Bergmann) - Fixes and cleanups in the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework, mostly related to OPP sharing, and reorganization of OF-dependent code in it (Viresh Kumar, Arnd Bergmann, Sudeep Holla) - New "passive" governor for devfreq (for SoC subsystems that will rely on someone else for the management of their power resources) and consolidation of devfreq support for Exynos platforms, coding style and typo fixes for devfreq (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham) - PM core fixes and cleanups, mostly to make it work better with the generic power domains (genpd) framework, and updates for that framework (Ulf Hansson, Thierry Reding, Colin Ian King) - Intel Broxton support for the intel_idle driver (Len Brown) - cpuidle core optimization and fix (Daniel Lezcano, Dave Gerlach) - ARM cpuidle cleanups (Jisheng Zhang) - Intel Kabylake support for the RAPL power capping driver (Jacob Pan) - AVS (Adaptive Voltage Switching) rockchip-io driver update (Heiko Stuebner) - Updates for the cpupower tool (Arjun Sreedharan, Colin Ian King, Mattia Dongili, Thomas Renninger)" * tag 'pm-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (112 commits) intel_pstate: Clean up get_target_pstate_use_performance() intel_pstate: Use sample.core_avg_perf in get_avg_pstate() intel_pstate: Clarify average performance computation intel_pstate: Avoid unnecessary synchronize_sched() during initialization cpufreq: schedutil: Make default depend on CONFIG_SMP cpufreq: powernv: del_timer_sync when global and local pstate are equal cpufreq: powernv: Move smp_call_function_any() out of irq safe block intel_pstate: Clean up intel_pstate_get() cpufreq: schedutil: Make it depend on CONFIG_SMP cpufreq: governor: Fix handling of special cases in dbs_update() PM / OPP: Move CONFIG_OF dependent code in a separate file cpufreq: intel_pstate: Ignore _PPC processing under HWP cpufreq: arm_big_little: use generic OPP functions for {init, free}_opp_table PM / OPP: add non-OF versions of dev_pm_opp_{cpumask_, }remove_table cpufreq: tango: Use generic platdev driver PM / OPP: pass cpumask by reference cpufreq: Fix GOV_LIMITS handling for the userspace governor cpupower: fix potential memory leak PM / devfreq: style/typo fixes PM / devfreq: exynos: Add the detailed correlation for Exynos5422 bus ..

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the single helper for adding and removing cpufreq utilization update hooks, cpufreq_set_update_util_data(), with a pair of helpers, cpufreq_add_update_util_hook() and cpufreq_remove_update_util_hook(), and modify the users of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() accordingly. With the new helpers, the code using them doesn't need to worry about the internals of struct update_util_data and in particular it doesn't need to worry about populating the func field in it properly upfront.
