* smpboot: Place the __percpu annotation correctlySebastian Andrzej Siewior2019-04-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The test robot reported a wrong assignment of a per-CPU variable which it detected by using sparse and sent a report. The assignment itself is correct. The annotation for sparse was wrong and hence the report. The first pointer is a "normal" pointer and points to the per-CPU memory area. That means that the __percpu annotation has to be moved. Move the __percpu annotation to pointer which points to the per-CPU area. This change affects only the sparse tool (and is ignored by the compiler).

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* smpboot/threads, watchdog/core: Avoid runtime allocationThomas Gleixner2017-09-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smpboot_update_cpumask_threads_percpu() allocates a temporary cpumask at runtime. This is suboptimal because the call site needs more code size for proper error handling than a statically allocated temporary mask requires data size. Add static temporary cpumask. The function is globaly serialized, so no further protection required. Remove the half baken error handling in the watchdog code and get rid of the export as there are no in tree modular users of that function.

* stop_machine: Kill smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark, introduce ↵Oleg Nesterov2015-10-201-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stop_machine_unpark() 1. Change smpboot_unpark_thread() to check ->selfparking, just like smpboot_park_thread() does. 2. Introduce stop_machine_unpark() which sets ->enabled and calls kthread_unpark(). 3. Change smpboot_thread_call() and cpu_stop_init() to call stop_machine_unpark() by hand. This way: - IMO the ->selfparking logic becomes more consistent. - We can kill the smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark() method. - We can easily unpark the stopper thread earlier. Say, we can move stop_machine_unpark() from smpboot_thread_call() to sched_cpu_active() as Peter suggests.

* smpboot: allow excluding cpus from the smpboot threadsChris Metcalf2015-06-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series allows the watchdog to run by default only on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is in effect; this seems to be a good compromise short of turning it off completely (since the nohz_full cores can't tolerate a watchdog). To provide customizability, we add /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_cpumask so that the set of cores running the watchdog can be tuned to different values after bootup. To implement this customizability, we add a new smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() API to the smpboot_thread subsystem that lets us park or unpark "unwanted" threads. And now that threads can be parked for long periods of time, we tweak the /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status code so parked threads aren't reported as running, which is otherwise confusing. This patch (of 3): This change allows some cores to be excluded from running the smp_hotplug_thread tasks. The following commit to update kernel/watchdog.c to use this functionality is the motivating example, and more information on the motivation is provided there. A new smp_hotplug_thread field is introduced, "cpumask", which is cpumask field managed by the smpboot subsystem that indicates whether or not the given smp_hotplug_thread should run on that core; the cpumask is checked when deciding whether to unpark the thread. To limit the cpumask to less than cpu_possible, you must call smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() after registering.

* stop_machine: Mark per cpu stopper enabled earlyThomas Gleixner2013-02-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the following regression: Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online notifier. CPU0 CPU1 cpu_up cpu online hotplug_notifier(ONLINE) stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true; ... stop_machine() The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the following working order: CPU0 CPU1 cpu_up cpu online unpark_threads() wakeup(stopper[CPU1]) .... stopper thread runs stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true; stop_machine() But Konrad and Sander have observed: CPU0 CPU1 cpu_up cpu online unpark_threads() wakeup(stopper[CPU1]) .... stop_machine() stopper thread runs stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true; Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled == false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1 stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false. Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it before waking the thread. This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best. Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and providing the information to decode this issue.

* smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threadsThomas Gleixner2013-02-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't be parked along with the other per cpu threads. Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it can park itself once it's done Add a create callback function as well.

* smpboot: Provide infrastructure for percpu hotplug threadsThomas Gleixner2012-08-131-0/+43
Provide a generic interface for setting up and tearing down percpu threads. On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped. During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes. Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself. The core code handles all state transitions and avoids duplicated code in the call sites.
