If the architecture supports the batching of jump label updates, use it!
An easy way to see the benefits of this patch is switching the
schedstats on and off. For instance:
-------------------------- %< ----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while [ true ]; do
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1
sleep 2
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0
sleep 2
done
-------------------------- >% ----------------------------
while watching the IPI count:
-------------------------- %< ----------------------------
# watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts | grep Function"
-------------------------- >% ----------------------------
With the current mode, it is possible to see +- 168 IPIs each 2 seconds,
while with this patch the number of IPIs goes to 3 each 2 seconds.
Regarding the performance impact of this patch set, I made two measurements:
The time to update a key (the task that is causing the change)
The time to run the int3 handler (the side effect on a thread that
hits the code being changed)
The schedstats static key was chosen as the key to being switched on and off.
The reason being is that it is used in more than 56 places, in a hot path. The
change in the schedstats static key will be done with the following command:
while [ true ]; do
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1
usleep 500000
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0
usleep 500000
done
In this way, they key will be updated twice per second. To force the hit of the
int3 handler, the system will also run a kernel compilation with two jobs per
CPU. The test machine is a two nodes/24 CPUs box with an Intel Xeon processor
@2.27GHz.
Regarding the update part, on average, the regular kernel takes 57 ms to update
the schedstats key, while the kernel with the batch updates takes just 1.4 ms
on average. Although it seems to be too good to be true, it makes sense: the
schedstats key is used in 56 places, so it was expected that it would take
around 56 times to update the keys with the current implementation, as the
IPIs are the most expensive part of the update.
Regarding the int3 handler, the non-batch handler takes 45 ns on average, while
the batch version takes around 180 ns. At first glance, it seems to be a high
value. But it is not, considering that it is doing 56 updates, rather than one!
It is taking four times more, only. This gain is possible because the patch
uses a binary search in the vector: log2(56)=5.8. So, it was expected to have
an overhead within four times.
(voice of tv propaganda) But, that is not all! As the int3 handler keeps on for
a shorter period (because the update part is on for a shorter time), the number
of hits in the int3 handler decreased by 10%.
The question then is: Is it worth paying the price of "135 ns" more in the int3
handler?
Considering that, in this test case, we are saving the handling of 53 IPIs,
that takes more than these 135 ns, it seems to be a meager price to be paid.
Moreover, the test case was forcing the hit of the int3, in practice, it
does not take that often. While the IPI takes place on all CPUs, hitting
the int3 handler or not!
For instance, in an isolated CPU with a process running in user-space
(nohz_full use-case), the chances of hitting the int3 handler is barely zero,
while there is no way to avoid the IPIs. By bounding the IPIs, we are improving
a lot this scenario.

Jason reported that the coarse ktime based time getters advance only once
per second and not once per tick as advertised.
The code reads only the monotonic base time, which advances once per
second. The nanoseconds are accumulated on every tick in xtime_nsec up to
a second and the regular time getters take this nanoseconds offset into
account, but the ktime_get_coarse*() implementation fails to do so.
Add the accumulated xtime_nsec value to the monotonic base time to get the
proper per tick advancing coarse tinme.

Logan noticed that devm_memremap_pages_release() kills the percpu_ref
drops all the page references that were acquired at init and then
immediately proceeds to unplug, arch_remove_memory(), the backing pages
for the pagemap. If for some reason device shutdown actually collides
with a busy / elevated-ref-count page then arch_remove_memory() should
be deferred until after that reference is dropped.
As it stands the "wait for last page ref drop" happens *after*
devm_memremap_pages_release() returns, which is obviously too late and
can lead to crashes.
Fix this situation by assigning the responsibility to wait for the
percpu_ref to go idle to devm_memremap_pages() with a new ->cleanup()
callback. Implement the new cleanup callback for all
devm_memremap_pages() users: pmem, devdax, hmm, and p2pdma.

In the case that a process is constrained by taskset(1) (i.e.
sched_setaffinity(2)) to a subset of available cpus, and all of those are
subsequently offlined, the scheduler will set tsk->cpus_allowed to
the current value of task_cs(tsk)->effective_cpus.
This is done via a call to do_set_cpus_allowed() in the context of
cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() made by the scheduler when this case is
detected. This is the only call made to cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback()
in the latest mainline kernel.
However, this is not sane behavior.
I will demonstrate this on a system running the latest upstream kernel
with the following initial configuration:
# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,fffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-63
(Where cpus 32-63 are provided via smt.)
If we limit our current shell process to cpu2 only and then offline it
and reonline it:
# taskset -p 4 $$
pid 2272's current affinity mask: ffffffffffffffff
pid 2272's new affinity mask: 4
# echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
# dmesg | tail -3
[ 2195.866089] process 2272 (bash) no longer affine to cpu2
[ 2195.872700] IRQ 114: no longer affine to CPU2
[ 2195.879128] smpboot: CPU 2 is now offline
# echo on > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
# dmesg | tail -1
[ 2617.043572] smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 2 APIC 0x4
We see that our current process now has an affinity mask containing
every cpu available on the system _except_ the one we originally
constrained it to:
# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,fffffffb
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-1,3-63
This is not sane behavior, as the scheduler can now not only place the
process on previously forbidden cpus, it can't even schedule it on
the cpu it was originally constrained to!
Other cases result in even more exotic affinity masks. Take for instance
a process with an affinity mask containing only cpus provided by smt at
the moment that smt is toggled, in a configuration such as the following:
# taskset -p f000000000 $$
# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
Cpus_allowed: 000000f0,00000000
Cpus_allowed_list: 36-39
A double toggle of smt results in the following behavior:
# echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
# echo on > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
# grep -i cpus /proc/$$/status
Cpus_allowed: ffffff00,ffffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-31,40-63
This is even less sane than the previous case, as the new affinity mask
excludes all smt-provided cpus with ids less than those that were
previously in the affinity mask, as well as those that were actually in
the mask.
With this patch applied, both of these cases end in the following state:
# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-63
The original policy is discarded. Though not ideal, it is the simplest way
to restore sanity to this fallback case without reinventing the cpuset
wheel that rolls down the kernel just fine in cgroup v2. A user who wishes
for the previous affinity mask to be restored in this fallback case can use
that mechanism instead.
This patch modifies scheduler behavior by instead resetting the mask to
task_cs(tsk)->cpus_allowed by default, and cpu_possible mask in legacy
mode. I tested the cases above on both modes.
Note that the scheduler uses this fallback mechanism if and only if
_every_ other valid avenue has been traveled, and it is the last resort
before calling BUG().
