| | * | | | bpf: Enable task local storage for tracing programsSong Liu2021-02-266-49/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To access per-task data, BPF programs usually creates a hash table with pid as the key. This is not ideal because: 1. The user need to estimate the proper size of the hash table, which may be inaccurate; 2. Big hash tables are slow; 3. To clean up the data properly during task terminations, the user need to write extra logic. Task local storage overcomes these issues and offers a better option for these per-task data. Task local storage is only available to BPF_LSM. Now enable it for tracing programs. Unlike LSM programs, tracing programs can be called in IRQ contexts. Helpers that access task local storage are updated to use raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead of raw_spin_lock_bh(). Tracing programs can attach to functions on the task free path, e.g. exit_creds(). To avoid allocating task local storage after bpf_task_storage_free(). bpf_task_storage_get() is updated to not allocate new storage when the task is not refcounted (task->usage == 0).

Functions such as TLB flush can take considerable time, so this provides an opportunity for performance optimization. To do so, modify smp_call_function_many_cond(), to allows the callers to provide a function that should be executed (remotely/locally), and run them concurrently. Keep other smp_call_function_many() semantic as it is today for backward compatibility: the called function is not executed in this case locally. smp_call_function_many_cond() does not use the optimized version for a single remote target that smp_call_function_single() implements. For synchronous function call, smp_call_function_single() keeps a call_single_data (which is used for synchronization) on the stack. Interestingly, it seems that not using this optimization provides greater performance improvements (greater speedup with a single remote target than with multiple ones). Presumably, holding data structures that are intended for synchronization on the stack can introduce overheads due to TLB misses and false-sharing when the stack is used for other purposes.

The only APIs to escape those limits are FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE and FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS. Allow finer grained tuning of the system limits via sysfs tunables under /proc/sys/fs/fanotify, similar to tunables under /proc/sys/fs/inotify, with some minor differences. - max_queued_events - global system tunable for group queue size limit. Like the inotify tunable with the same name, it defaults to 16384 and applies on initialization of a new group. - max_user_marks - user ns tunable for marks limit per user. Like the inotify tunable named max_user_watches, on a machine with sufficient RAM and it defaults to 1048576 in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns. - max_user_groups - user ns tunable for number of groups per user. Like the inotify tunable named max_user_instances, it defaults to 128 in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns. The slightly different tunable names used for fanotify are derived from the "group" and "mark" terminology used in the fanotify man pages and throughout the code. Considering the fact that the default value for max_user_instances was increased in kernel v5.10 from 8192 to 1048576, leaving the legacy fanotify limit of 8192 marks per group in addition to the max_user_marks limit makes little sense, so the per group marks limit has been removed. Note that when a group is initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS, its own marks are not accounted in the per user marks account, so in effect the limit of max_user_marks is only for the collection of groups that are not initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

The scenario is: CPU0 CPU1 (running p) (p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) // true begin_new_exec() me->flags &= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...); kthread_is_per_cpu(p) to_kthread(p) WARN(!(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) <-- *SPLAT* Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both values. Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu() and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the problem. Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the task is from kthread_create*().

In the former case, the handling is done in a user context. In the latter case, it is likely to be in an interrupt context. Currently in print_cpu() of kernel/sched/debug.c, sched_debug_lock is taken with interrupt disabled for the whole duration of the calls to print_*_stats() and print_rq() which could last for the quite some time if the information dump happens on the serial console. If the system has many cpus and the sched_debug_lock is somehow busy (e.g. parallel sysrq-t), the system may hit a hard lockup panic depending on the actually serial console implementation of the system. The purpose of sched_debug_lock is to serialize the use of the global cgroup_path[] buffer in print_cpu(). The rests of the printk calls don't need serialization from sched_debug_lock. Calling printk() with interrupt disabled can still be problematic if multiple instances are running. Allocating a stack buffer of PATH_MAX bytes is not feasible because of the limited size of the kernel stack. The solution implemented in this patch is to allow only one caller at a time to use the full size group_path[], while other simultaneous callers will have to use shorter stack buffers with the possibility of path name truncation. A "..." suffix will be printed if truncation may have happened. The cgroup path name is provided for informational purpose only, so occasional path name truncation should not be a big problem.

But, schedule() may not happen immediately in cases where the current task is executing in the kernel mode (no preemption state) for extended periods of time. This patch adds a warn_on if need_resched is pending for more than the time specified in sysctl resched_latency_warn_ms. If it goes off, it is likely that there is a missing cond_resched() somewhere. Monitoring is done via the tick and the accuracy is hence limited to jiffy scale. This also means that we won't trigger the warning if the tick is disabled.

Similarly, when cpu_up() fails and we're going back down, balance_push should be active, where it currently is not. So instead, make sure balance_push is enabled below SCHED_AP_ACTIVE (when !cpu_active()), and gate it's utility with cpu_dying().

In quite some of these application scenarios a control tasks signals workers to start their computations. There is usually only one signal per worker on flight. This works nicely as long as the kmem cache allocations do not hit the slow path and cause latencies. To cure this an optimistic caching was introduced (limited to RT tasks) which allows a task to cache a single sigqueue in a pointer in task_struct instead of handing it back to the kmem cache after consuming a signal. When the next signal is sent to the task then the cached sigqueue is used instead of allocating a new one. This solved the problem for this set of application scenarios nicely. The task cache is not preallocated so the first signal sent to a task goes always to the cache allocator. The cached sigqueue stays around until the task exits and is freed when task::sighand is dropped. After posting this solution for mainline the discussion came up whether this would be useful in general and should not be limited to realtime tasks: https://lore.kernel.org/r/m11rcu7nbr.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org One concern leading to the original limitation was to avoid a large amount of pointlessly cached sigqueues in alive tasks. The other concern was vs. RLIMIT_SIGPENDING as these cached sigqueues are not accounted for. The accounting problem is real, but on the other hand slightly academic. After gathering some statistics it turned out that after boot of a regular distro install there are less than 10 sigqueues cached in ~1500 tasks. In case of a 'mass fork and fire signal to child' scenario the extra 80 bytes of memory per task are well in the noise of the overall memory consumption of the fork bomb. If this should be limited then this would need an extra counter in struct user, more atomic instructions and a seperate rlimit. Yet another tunable which is mostly unused. The caching is actually used. After boot and a full kernel compile on a 64CPU machine with make -j128 the number of 'allocations' looks like this: From slab: 23996 From task cache: 52223 I.e. it reduces the number of slab cache operations by ~68%. A typical pattern there is: <...>-58490 __sigqueue_alloc: for 58488 from slab ffff8881132df460 <...>-58488 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881132df460 <...>-58488 __sigqueue_alloc: for 1149 from cache ffff8881103dc550 bash-1149 exit_task_sighand: free ffff8881132df460 bash-1149 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881103dc550 The interesting sequence is that the exiting task 58488 grabs the sigqueue from bash's task cache to signal exit and bash sticks it back into it's own cache. Lather, rinse and repeat. The caching is probably not noticable for the general use case, but the benefit for latency sensitive applications is clear. While kmem caches are usually just serving from the fast path the slab merging (default) can depending on the usage pattern of the merged slabs cause occasional slow path allocations. The time spared per cached entry is a few micro seconds per signal which is not relevant for e.g. a kernel build, but for signal heavy workloads it's measurable. As there is no real downside of this caching mechanism making it unconditionally available is preferred over more conditional code or new magic tunables.

Due to the underlying margin, fits_capacity(X, 1024) will return false for any X > 819. Tough luck, the capacity_orig's on e.g. the Pixel 4 are {261, 871, 1024}. If a CPU-bound task ends up on one of those "medium" CPUs, misfit migration will never intentionally upmigrate it to a CPU of higher capacity due to the aforementioned margin. One may argue the 20% margin of fits_capacity() is excessive in the advent of counter-enhanced load tracking (APERF/MPERF, AMUs), but one point here is that fits_capacity() is meant to compare a utilization value to a capacity value, whereas here it is being used to compare two capacity values. As CPU capacity and task utilization have different dynamics, a sensible approach here would be to add a new helper dedicated to comparing CPU capacities. Also note that comparing capacity extrema of local and source sched_group's doesn't make much sense when at the day of the day the imbalance will be pulled by a known env->dst_cpu, whose capacity can be anywhere within the local group's capacity extrema. While at it, replace group_smaller_{min, max}_cpu_capacity() with comparisons of the source group's min/max capacity and the destination CPU's capacity.

This can result in setting env->sd->parent->sgc->group_imbalance, which can lead to a group being classified as group_imbalanced (rather than any of the other, lower group_type) when balancing at a higher level. In workloads involving a single task per CPU, LBF_SOME_PINNED can often be set due to per-CPU kthreads being the only other runnable tasks on any given rq. This results in changing the group classification during load-balance at higher levels when in reality there is nothing that can be done for this affinity constraint: per-CPU kthreads, as the name implies, don't get to move around (modulo hotplug shenanigans). It's not as clear for userspace tasks - a task could be in an N-CPU cpuset with N-1 offline CPUs, making it an "accidental" per-CPU task rather than an intended one. KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU gives us an indisputable signal which we can leverage here to not set LBF_SOME_PINNED. Note that the aforementioned classification to group_imbalance (when nothing can be done) is especially problematic on big.LITTLE systems, which have a topology the likes of: DIE [ ] MC [ ][ ] 0 1 2 3 L L B B arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) < arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B) Here, setting LBF_SOME_PINNED due to a per-CPU kthread when balancing at MC level on CPUs [0-1] will subsequently prevent CPUs [2-3] from classifying the [0-1] group as group_misfit_task when balancing at DIE level. Thus, if CPUs [0-1] are running CPU-bound (misfit) tasks, ill-timed per-CPU kthreads can significantly delay the upgmigration of said misfit tasks. Systems relying on ASYM_PACKING are likely to face similar issues.

Yay. The flip side of this is that we see more task migrations (about 30% more), higher cache misses, higher memory bandwidth utilization, and higher CPU use, for the same number of requests/second. This is most pronounced on a memcache type workload, which saw a consistent 1-3% increase in total CPU use on the system, due to those increased task migrations leading to higher L2 cache miss numbers, and higher memory utilization. The exclusive L3 cache on Skylake does us no favors there. On our web serving workload, that effect is usually negligible. It appears that the increased number of CPU migrations is generally a good thing, since it leads to lower cpu_delay numbers, reflecting the fact that tasks get to run faster. However, the reduced locality and the corresponding increase in L2 cache misses hurts a little. The patch below appears to fix the regression, while keeping the benefit of the lower cpu_delay numbers, by reintroducing select_idle_smt with a twist: when a socket has no idle cores, check to see if the sibling of "prev" is idle, before searching all the other CPUs. This fixes both the occasional 9% regression on the web serving workload, and the continuous 2% CPU use regression on the memcache type workload. With Mel's patches and this patch together, task migrations are still high, but L2 cache misses, memory bandwidth, and CPU time used are back down to what they were before. The p95 and p99 response times for the memcache type application improve by about 10% over what they were before Mel's patches got merged.

Before the busiest runqueue is locked, the tasks on the busiest runqueue could be pulled by other CPUs and nr_running of the busiest runqueu becomes 1 or even 0 if the running task becomes idle, this causes detach_tasks breaks with LBF_ALL_PINNED flag set, and triggers load_balance redo at the same sched_domain level. In order to find the new busiest sched_group and CPU, load balance will recompute and update the various load statistics, which eventually leads to the long-tail load balance cost. This patch clears LBF_ALL_PINNED flag for this race condition, and hence reduces the long-tail cost of newly idle balance.
