sched, numa, mm: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate
Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use
a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address
space PROT_NONE.
That method has various (obvious) disadvantages:
- it samples the working set at dissimilar rates,
giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage
over others.
- creates performance problems for tasks with very
large working sets
- over-samples processes with large address spaces but
which only very rarely execute
Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the
address space that marks the current position of the scan,
and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution
proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped
address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first
address.
The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality
in this tree allows such constant rate, per task,
execution-weight proportional sampling of the working set,
with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that goes from
once per 100 msecs up to just once per 1.6 seconds.
The current sampling volume is 256 MB per interval.
As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the
sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 1.6
seconds of CPU time executed.
This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely
executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded
systems.
[ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling
rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is
currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally
single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread,
so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with
the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution
proportional manner.
So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented
in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes
beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional
working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single
global scanning daemon. ]
[ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the
first version of this patch. ]

sched, numa, mm: Add adaptive NUMA affinity support
The principal ideas behind this patch are the fundamental
difference between shared and privately used memory and the very
strong desire to only rely on per-task behavioral state for
scheduling decisions.
We define 'shared memory' as all user memory that is frequently
accessed by multiple tasks and conversely 'private memory' is
the user memory used predominantly by a single task.
To approximate the above strict definition we recognise that
task placement is dominantly per cpu and thus using cpu granular
page access state is a natural fit. Thus we introduce
page::last_cpu as the cpu that last accessed a page.
Using this, we can construct two per-task node-vectors, 'S_i'
and 'P_i' reflecting the amount of shared and privately used
pages of this task respectively. Pages for which two consecutive
'hits' are of the same cpu are assumed private and the others
are shared.
[ This means that we will start evaluating this state when the
task has not migrated for at least 2 scans, see NUMA_SETTLE ]
Using these vectors we can compute the total number of
shared/private pages of this task and determine which dominates.
[ Note that for shared tasks we only see '1/n' the total number
of shared pages for the other tasks will take the other
faults; where 'n' is the number of tasks sharing the memory.
So for an equal comparison we should divide total private by
'n' as well, but we don't have 'n' so we pick 2. ]
We can also compute which node holds most of our memory, running
on this node will be called 'ideal placement' (As per previous
patches we will prefer to pull memory towards wherever we run.)
We change the load-balancer to prefer moving tasks in order of:
1) !numa tasks and numa tasks in the direction of more faults
2) allow !ideal tasks getting worse in the direction of faults
3) allow private tasks to get worse
4) allow shared tasks to get worse
This order ensures we prefer increasing memory locality but when
we do have to make hard decisions we prefer spreading private
over shared, because spreading shared tasks significantly
increases the interconnect bandwidth since not all memory can
follow.
We also add an extra 'lateral' force to the load balancer that
perturbs the state when otherwise 'fairly' balanced. This
ensures we don't get 'stuck' in a state which is fair but
undesired from a memory location POV (see can_do_numa_run()).
Lastly, we allow shared tasks to defeat the default spreading of
tasks such that, when possible, they can aggregate on a single
node.
Shared tasks aggregate for the very simple reason that there has
to be a single node that holds most of their memory and a second
most, etc.. and tasks want to move up the faults ladder.
Enable it on x86. A number of other architectures are
most likely fine too - but they should enable and test this
feature explicitly.

x86/mm: Completely drop the TLB flush from ptep_set_access_flags()
Intel has an architectural guarantee that the TLB entry causing

Because of the way other areas of the page fault code work,
chances are good that all x86 CPUs do this. However, if

be easy to revert - or a CPU model specific quirk could

genirq: Always force thread affinity
Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:
1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.
2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
change its affinity.
3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
the thread either.
Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)

revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app"
Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a
self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael
Kerrisk, copied below.
We'll revisit this for 3.8.
: I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and
: done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program
: tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...)
:
: There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange,
: so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than
: that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be
: correctly documented.
:
: Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following
: scenario in a multithreaded application:
:
: 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations,
: and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information
: corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by
: epoll_wait().
:
: 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
: a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and
: delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache.
:
: 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have
: previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information
: about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using
: information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus,
: there is a potential race.
:
: 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing
: so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait()
: call, which would of course blow thread concurrency.
:
: Right?
:
: Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to
: confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since
: the description that has accompanied the patches so far
: has been a bit sparse
:
: 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file
: descriptor means (safely) doing the following:
: (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list
: using EPOLL_CTL_DEL
: (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache
:
: 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in
: conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in
: conjunction is a logical error.
:
: 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using
: EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows:
:
: a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should
: should EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it
: should do the following:
:
: [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely
: deleted by the thread that made this call.
: [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY,
: then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling
: thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to
: indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor
: should perform the deletion operation.
:
: Is all of the above correct?
:
: The implementation depends on checking on whether
: (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0
: This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always
: set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT
: causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be
: cleared.
:
: A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE
: is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things
: stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does
: not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following
: (slightly surprising) behavior:
:
: (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0
: (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted).
: (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY.
:
: This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an
: indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using
: epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which
: EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it
: not make sense to return an error to user space for this case?

virtio: Don't access index after unregister.
Virtio wants to release used indices after the corresponding
virtio device has been unregistered. However, virtio does not
hold an extra reference, giving up its last reference with
device_unregister(), making accessing dev->index afterwards
invalid.
I actually saw problems when testing my (not-yet-merged)
virtio-ccw code:
- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> creates device virtio<n> with n>0
- device_del xxx
-> deletes virtio<n>, but calls ida_simple_remove with an
index of 0
- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> tries to add virtio0, which is still in use...
So let's save the index we want to release before calling
device_unregister().
Commit c0077061e7ea accidentally inverted the logic for nouveau_acpi_edid,
causing it to only show a connector as connected when the edid could not
be retrieved with acpi.

perf diff: Use hists__link when not pairing just with baseline
Previously there were blind spots because we were not looking at symbols
that didn't ocurred in the latest run:
# perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]
# perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]
That given two hists will find the hist_entries (buckets) in the second
hists that are for the same bucket in the first and link them, then it
will look for all buckets in the second that don't have a counterpart in
the first and will create a dummy counterpart that will then be linked
to the entry in the second.
For multiple events this will be done pairing the leader with all the
other events in the group, so that in the end the leader will have all
the buckets in all the hists in a group, dummy or not while the other
hists will be left untouched.

perf diff: Start moving to support matching more than two hists
We want to match more than two hists, so that we can match more than two
perf.data files and moreover, match hist_entries (buckets) in multiple
events in a group.
So the "baseline"/"leader" will instead of a ->pair pointer, use a
list_head, that will link to the pairs and hists__match use it.
Following that perf_evlist__link will link the hists in its evsel
groups.

perf tools: Don't try to lookup objdump for live mode
Arnaldo reported that annotation during perf top resulted in a segfault.
It was because the env->arch was NULL and we don't set it for a live
session. In fact, no need to look up objdump in this case since we can
use system's default (native) objdump.

xfs: fix reading of wrapped log data
Commit 4439647 ("xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them") in
3.0-rc1 introduced a regression when recovering log buffers that
wrapped around the end of log. The second part of the log buffer at
the start of the physical log was being read into the header buffer
rather than the data buffer, and hence recovery was seeing garbage
in the data buffer when it got to the region of the log buffer that
was incorrectly read.

xfs: fix buffer shudown reference count mismatch
When we shut down the filesystem, we have to unpin and free all the
buffers currently active in the CIL. To do this we unpin and remove
them in one operation as a result of a failed iclogbuf write. For
buffers, we do this removal via a simultated IO completion of after
marking the buffer stale.
At the time we do this, we have two references to the buffer - the
active LRU reference and the buf log item. The LRU reference is
removed by marking the buffer stale, and the active CIL reference is
by the xfs_buf_iodone() callback that is run by
xfs_buf_do_callbacks() during ioend processing (via the bp->b_iodone
callback).
However, ioend processing requires one more reference - that of the
IO that it is completing. We don't have this reference, so we free
the buffer prematurely and use it after it is freed. For buffers
marked with XBF_ASYNC, this leads to assert failures in
xfs_buf_rele() on debug kernels because the b_hold count is zero.
Fix this by making sure we take the necessary IO reference before
starting IO completion processing on the stale buffer, and set the
XBF_ASYNC flag to ensure that IO completion processing removes all
the active references from the buffer to ensure it is fully torn
down.

Inode buffers do not need to be mapped as inodes are read or written

xfs: invalidate allocbt blocks moved to the free list
When we free a block from the alloc btree tree, we move it to the
freelist held in the AGFL and mark it busy in the busy extent tree.
This typically happens when we merge btree blocks.
Once the transaction is committed and checkpointed, the block can
remain on the free list for an indefinite amount of time. Now, this
isn't the end of the world at this point - if the free list is
shortened, the buffer is invalidated in the transaction that moves
it back to free space. If the buffer is allocated as metadata from
the free list, then all the modifications getted logged, and we have
no issues, either. And if it gets allocated as userdata direct from
the freelist, it gets invalidated and so will never get written.
However, during the time it sits on the free list, pressure on the
log can cause the AIL to be pushed and the buffer that covers the
block gets pushed for write. IOWs, we end up writing a freed
metadata block to disk. Again, this isn't the end of the world
because we know from the above we are only writing to free space.
The problem, however, is for validation callbacks. If the block was
on old btree root block, then the level of the block is going to be
higher than the current tree root, and so will fail validation.
There may be other inconsistencies in the block as well, and
currently we don't care because the block is in free space. Shutting
down the filesystem because a freed block doesn't pass write
validation, OTOH, is rather unfriendly.
So, make sure we always invalidate buffers as they move from the
free space trees to the free list so that we guarantee they never
get written to disk while on the free list.
