* context_tracking: avoid irq_save/irq_restore on guest entry and exitPaolo Bonzini2015-11-101-26/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled, since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}. Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are called by guest_enter and guest_exit. Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM. Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit loop by about 2%.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All calls to context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit are already checking context_tracking_is_enabled, except the context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit functions left in for the benefit of assembly calls.

* context_tracking: Inherit TIF_NOHZ through forks instead of context switchesFrederic Weisbecker2015-05-071-25/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIF_NOHZ is used by context_tracking to force syscall slow-path on every task in order to track userspace roundtrips. As such, it must be set on all running tasks. It's currently explicitly inherited through context switches. There is no need to do it in this fast-path though. The flag could simply be set once for all on all tasks, whether they are running or not. Lets do this by setting the flag for the init task on early boot, and let it propagate through fork inheritance. While at it, mark context_tracking_cpu_set() as init code, we only need it at early boot time.

* context_tracking: Protect against recursionFrederic Weisbecker2015-05-071-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Context tracking recursion can happen when an exception triggers in the middle of a call to a context tracking probe. This special case can be caused by vmalloc faults. If an access to a memory area allocated by vmalloc happens in the middle of context_tracking_enter(), we may run into an endless fault loop because the exception in turn calls context_tracking_enter() which faults on the same vmalloc'ed memory, triggering an exception again, etc... Some rare crashes have been reported so lets protect against this with a recursion counter.

* context_tracking: Generalize context tracking APIs to support user and guestRik van Riel2015-03-091-15/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generalize the context tracking APIs to support various nature of contexts. This is performed by splitting out the mechanism from context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit into context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit. The nature of the context we track is now detailed in a ctx_state parameter pushed to these APIs, allowing the same functions to not just track kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions. But leave the old functions in order to avoid breaking ARM, which calls these functions from assembler code, and cannot easily use C enum parameters. Reviewed-by: Paul E.

* context_tracking: Rename context symbols to prepare for transition stateFrederic Weisbecker2015-03-091-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current context tracking symbols are designed to express living state. As such they are prefixed with "IN_": IN_USER, IN_KERNEL. Now we are going to use these symbols to also express state transitions such as context_tracking_enter(IN_USER) or context_tracking_exit(IN_USER). But while the "IN_" prefix works well to express entering a context, it's confusing to depict a context exit: context_tracking_exit(IN_USER) could mean two things: 1) We are exiting the current context to enter user context. 2) We are exiting the user context We want 2) but the reviewer may be confused and understand 1) So lets disambiguate these symbols and rename them to CONTEXT_USER and CONTEXT_KERNEL.

Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched() by hand. 2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case we need to move into sched/core.c. 3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match preempt_schedule().

* nohz: Only enable context tracking on full dynticks CPUsFrederic Weisbecker2013-08-131-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking and another range that does. Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks subsystem to the context tracking. This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking itself is still necessary everywhere. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

* context_tracking: Fix runtime CPU off-caseFrederic Weisbecker2013-08-131-19/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As long as the context tracking is enabled on any CPU, even a single one, all other CPUs need to keep track of their user <-> kernel boundaries cross as well. This is because a task can sleep while servicing an exception that happened in the kernel or in userspace. Then when the task eventually wakes up and return from the exception, the CPU needs to know if we resume in userspace or in the kernel. exception_exit() get this information from exception_enter() that saved the previous state. If the CPU where the exception happened didn't keep track of these informations, exception_exit() doesn't know which state tracking to restore on the CPU where the task got migrated and we may return to userspace with the context tracking subsystem thinking that we are in kernel mode. This can be fixed in the long term if we move our context tracking probes on very low level arch fast path user <-> kernel boundary, although even that is worrisome as an exception can still happen in the few instructions between the probe and the actual iret. Also we are not yet ready to set these probes in the fast path given the potential overhead problem it induces. So let's fix this by always enable context tracking even on CPUs that are not in the full dynticks range. OTOH we can spare the rcu_user_*() and vtime_user_*() calls there because the tick runs on these CPUs and we can handle RCU state machine and cputime accounting through it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter() and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed on kvm context switches. 2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we run in tick based accounting for these CPUs. Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations finally work.

Because the function tracer does a preempt_disable/enable_notrace() calls the preempt_enable_notrace() checks the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it is set, then preempt_schedule() is called. But this is called before the user_exit() function can inform the kernel that the CPU is no longer in user mode and needs to be accounted for by RCU. The fix is to create a new preempt_schedule_context() that checks if the kernel is still in user mode and if so to switch it to kernel mode before calling schedule. It also switches back to user mode coming back from schedule in need be. The only user of this currently is the preempt_enable_notrace(), which is only used by the tracing subsystem.

* | kvm: Move guest entry/exit APIs to context_trackingFrederic Weisbecker2013-05-311-1/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kvm_host.h header file doesn't handle well inclusion when archs don't support KVM. This results in build crashes for such archs when they want to implement context tracking because this subsystem includes kvm_host.h in order to implement the guest_enter/exit APIs but it doesn't handle KVM off case. To fix this, move the guest_enter()/guest_exit() declarations and generic implementation to the context tracking headers. These generic APIs actually belong to this subsystem, besides other domains boundary tracking like user_enter() et al. KVM now properly becomes a user of this library, not the other buggy way around.

| * cputime: Safely read cputime of full dynticks CPUsFrederic Weisbecker2013-01-271-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot. To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times() accessors.

| * cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accountingFrederic Weisbecker2013-01-271-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

* context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystemFrederic Weisbecker2012-11-301-0/+83
Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries to keep track of the transitions between level contexts with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel. This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking to implement its userspace extended quiescent state. We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: H.
