rcu: Remove redundant preempt_disable() from rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch()

In theory, synchronize_sched() requires a read-side critical section
to order against.  In practice, preemption can be thought of as
being disabled across every machine instruction, at least for those
machine instructions that are not in the idle loop and not on offline
CPUs.  So this commit removes the redundant preempt_disable() from
rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch().

Please note that the single instruction in question is the store of
zero to ->rcu_tasks_holdout.  The "if" is simply a performance optimization
that avoids unnecessary stores.  To see this, keep in mind that both
the "if" condition and the store are in a quiescent state.  Therefore,
even if the task is preempted for a full grace period (presumably due
to its having done a context switch beforehand), the store will be
recording a legitimate quiescent state.

10 years agorcu: Make TINY_RCU tinier by putting error checks under #ifdef
Paul E. McKenney [Thu, 31 Jul 2014 23:02:33 +0000 (16:02 -0700)]
rcu: Make TINY_RCU tinier by putting error checks under #ifdef

The rcu_idle_enter_common() and rcu_idle_exit_common() functions contain
error checks that have to the best of my knowledge have never triggered
over the past several years.  These are nevertheless valuable when
creating new architectures or doing other low-level changes, so the
checks should not be deleted.  This commit instead places these checks
under #ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE so that they are executed only when
specifically requested.

The savings are significant:

Before:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1749      39       0    1788     6fc /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/tiny.o
    632     152       0     784     310 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/update.o
   ----
   2572

After:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1281      37       0    1318     526 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/tiny.o
    632     152       0     784     310 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/update.o
   ----
   2102

This amounts to 470 bytes, or 18% of the original.

Switched from #ifdef to IS_ENABLED() on Josh Triplett's advice.

Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups") introduced nocb leader kthreads
which checked the nocb_leader_wake flag to see if there were any such pending

processing the pending callbacks as this flag was not set, which led to a boot
hang.

The following commit ensures that the newly spawned nocb kthreads process the
pending callbacks by allowing the kthreads to run immediately after spawning
instead of waiting. This is done by inverting the logic of nocb_leader_wake
tests to nocb_leader_sleep which allows us to use the default initialization of
this flag to 0 to let the kthreads run.

 "The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
  separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
  the function and function_graph tracers.

  The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers
  having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
  set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code).  The design assumed that
  the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can
  be used at a time.  The problem with this assumption was that the
  function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph
  tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the
  function tracer.  This caused the assumption to be broken and when
  ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty
  warning and shut itself down.

  Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the
  function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use
  their own ftrace_ops.  But instead of having a complex hierarchy of
  ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the
  ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter.  This change took a bit
  to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can
  share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to
  allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.

  The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
  to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).

  The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
  but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a
  direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but
  will in the future.  It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be
  fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls
  to the function_graph trampoline"

aio: fix reqs_available handling

As reported by Dan Aloni, commit f8567a3845ac ("aio: fix aio request
leak when events are reaped by userspace") introduces a regression when
user code attempts to perform io_submit() with more events than are
available in the ring buffer.  Reverting that commit would reintroduce a
regression when user space event reaping is used.

Fixing this bug is a bit more involved than the previous attempts to fix
this regression.  Since we do not have a single point at which we can
count events as being reaped by user space and io_getevents(), we have
to track event completion by looking at the number of events left in the
event ring.  So long as there are as many events in the ring buffer as
there have been completion events generate, we cannot call
put_reqs_available().  The code to check for this is now placed in
refill_reqs_available().

A test program from Dan and modified by me for verifying this bug is available
at http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/20140824-aio_bug.c .

10 years agoftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together
Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) [Fri, 15 Aug 2014 21:18:46 +0000 (17:18 -0400)]
ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together

The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.

The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).

To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.

Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.
