There is probably no such call\nin any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd\nis not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context\nswitch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time\nalready flushed from the hardirq entry.\n\nIn the other cases we always account to system/irq time:\n\n* On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time.\n* On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time.\n\nTo optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account()\nand the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and\nonly perform the check on irq entry.

This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens\nto be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags\nmapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the\nsoftirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.\n\nThe save and clear, ensures the preempted task\u0027s PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn\u0027t\nleak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq\u0027s PF_MEMALLOC flag\ncannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to\nthe following reasons\n\nSoftirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be\n\texecuting the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq\n\thandler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags\n\tshould not leak to an unrelated softirq.\n\nSoftirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be\n\tpreempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited\n\tby the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in\n\treclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is\n\tset, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and\n\tsoft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS\n\tflag.\n\nIf the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used\n instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted,\n the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.\n\n[davem@davemloft.net: Document why

The whole guarantees\nthat we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually\ninterrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended\nquiescent state from idle loop entry only.\n\nSplit this function into:\n\n- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts-\u003einidle to 1, enters\ndynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU\nextended quiescent state.\n\n- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode\nwhen ts-\u003einidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).\n\nTo maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed\ninto tick_nohz_idle_exit().\n\nThis simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need\nfor local_irq_save there).

In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded\nperformance by about 40%.\n\nThe commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed\nhigh rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has\n64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second\nwhich is caused by RCU\u0027s per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of\nthe time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn\u0027t actually handle any callbacks,\nbut instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.\nThis means that RCU\u0027s per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite\na bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related\nprocessing to be done.\n\nAlex Shi\u0027s analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock\ncontention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points\nout, the scheduler\u0027s real-time semantics require global action, which\nmeans that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,\nperhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not\ngoing to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around\nthis issue in the meantime. And \"the meantime\" might well be forever.)\n\nThis patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only\nfor core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,\nso that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the\ncommon case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to\nskip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST\u003dy kernels.\n\nSigned-off-by: Shaohua Li \u003cshaohua.li@intel.com\u003e\nTested-by: \"Alex,Shi\" \u003calex.shi@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

There\nis no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is\nbeing processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh\nis disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.\n\nLooking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING\nas well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses\nsoftirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.\n\nPeter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count\nfor local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq\nprocessing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which\nreturns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.\n\nAlso changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c\nto in_serving_softirq.\n\nLooks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those\nchanges can be made individually on a case by case basis.\n\nSigned-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi \u003cvenki@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c1286237003-12406-2-git-send-email-venki@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b7d0d8258a9f71949b810e0f82a3d75088f4d364", "tree": "1e37a6d3e89816abab898e3646a4e23eeb457021", "parents": [ "77dff1c755c3218691e95e7e38ee14323b35dbdb" ], "author": { "name": "Thomas Gleixner", "email": "tglx@linutronix.de", "time": "Wed Sep 29 18:44:23 2010 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Thomas Gleixner", "email": "tglx@linutronix.de", "time": "Tue Oct 12 16:53:44 2010 +0200" }, "message": "genirq: Remove arch_init_chip_data()\n\nThis function should have not been there in the first place.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nReviewed-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b683de2b3cb17bb10fa6fd4af614dc75b5749fe0", "tree": "e1a799293b218f5c13d4903c57fab144b2f433b3", "parents": [ "aa99ec0f3f26bf2bcd0fa5176de93598427f1e5e" ], "author": { "name": "Thomas Gleixner", "email": "tglx@linutronix.de", "time": "Mon Sep 27 20:55:03 2010 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Thomas Gleixner", "email": "tglx@linutronix.de", "time": "Tue Oct 12 16:39:08 2010 +0200" }, "message": "genirq: Query arch for number of early descriptors\n\nsparse irq sets up NR_IRQS_LEGACY irq descriptors and archs then go\nahead and allocate more.\n\nUse the unused return value of arch_probe_nr_irqs() to let the\narchitecture return the number of early allocations.

For RCU-sched, a context switch\nis a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.\nFor RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but\nspecial handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side\ncritical section.\n\nHowever, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd\nstill calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer\naccurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched\nquiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside\nfrom the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to\nbe running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only\nincreases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly\nincreases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.\n\nThis patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU\u0027s\ncontext-switch handling from that of RCU-sched\u0027s quiescent states.\nThe context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in\ngeneral and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.\nThis permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent\nstates. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though\nprobably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks\nwithin preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the\noverhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.\n\nSuggested-by: Lai Jiangshan \u003claijs@cn.fujitsu.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Lai Jiangshan \u003claijs@cn.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

It is getting more reliable than mainline by some\nmeasures, so the next version will be against -tip for inclusion.\nSee also Manfred Spraul\u0027s recent patches (or his earlier work from\n2004 at http://marc.info/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d108546384711797\u0026w\u003d2).\nWe will converge onto a common patch in the fullness of time, but are\ncurrently exploring different regions of the design space. That said,\nI have already gratefully stolen quite a few of Manfred\u0027s ideas.\n\nThis patch provides CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, which controls the bushiness\nof the RCU hierarchy. Defaults to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on\n64-bit machines. If CONFIG_NR_CPUS is less than CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT,\nthere is no hierarchy. By default, the RCU initialization code will\nadjust CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT to balance the hierarchy, so strongly NUMA\narchitectures may choose to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to disable\nthis balancing, allowing the hierarchy to be exactly aligned to the\nunderlying hardware. Up to two levels of hierarchy are permitted\n(in addition to the root node), allowing up to 16,384 CPUs on 32-bit\nsystems and up to 262,144 CPUs on 64-bit systems. I just know that I\nam going to regret saying this, but this seems more than sufficient\nfor the foreseeable future. (Some architectures might wish to set\nCONFIG_RCU_FANOUT\u003d4, which would limit such architectures to 64 CPUs.\nIf this becomes a real problem, additional levels can be added, but I\ndoubt that it will make a significant difference on real hardware.)\n\nIn the common case, a given CPU will manipulate its private rcu_data\nstructure and the rcu_node structure that it shares with its immediate\nneighbors. This can reduce both lock and memory contention by multiple\norders of magnitude, which should eliminate the need for the strange\nmanipulations that are reported to be required when running Linux on\nvery large systems.\n\nSome shortcomings:\n\no\tMore bugs will probably surface as a result of an ongoing\n\tline-by-line code inspection.\n\n\tPatches will be provided as required.\n\no\tThere are probably hangs, rcutorture failures, \u0026c. Seems\n\tquite stable on a 128-CPU machine, but that is kind of small\n\tcompared to 4096 CPUs. However, seems to do better than\n\tmainline.\n\n\tPatches will be provided as required.\n\no\tThe memory footprint of this version is several KB larger\n\tthan rcuclassic.\n\n\tA separate UP-only rcutiny patch will be provided, which will\n\treduce the memory footprint significantly, even compared\n\tto the old rcuclassic. One such patch passes light testing,\n\tand has a memory footprint smaller even than rcuclassic.\n\tInitial reaction from various embedded guys was \"it is not\n\tworth it\", so am putting it aside.\n\nCredits:\n\no\tManfred Spraul for ideas, review comments, and bugs spotted,\n\tas well as some good friendly competition. ;-)\n\no\tJosh Triplett, Ingo Molnar, Peter Zijlstra, Mathieu Desnoyers,\n\tLai Jiangshan, Andi Kleen, Andy Whitcroft, and Andrew Morton\n\tfor reviews and comments.\n\no\tThomas Gleixner for much-needed help with some timer issues\n\t(see patches below).\n\no\tJon M.
