Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
(which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
in.
When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
But this requires passing in half of the functions in
available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.
As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:
# echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
x86_pmu_commit_txn
# head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
x86_pmu_commit_txn
This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
less than a second!
# time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter
real 0m0.042s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.015s
# wc -l set_ftrace_filter
20000 set_ftrace_filter

As the predicat_parse() code is rather complex, commenting subtleties is
important. The switch case statement should be commented to describe that it
is only looking for two '&' or '|' together, which is why the fall through

psi has provisions to shut off the periodic aggregation worker when
there is a period of no task activity - and thus no data that needs
aggregating. However, while developing psi monitoring, Suren noticed
that the aggregation clock currently won't stay shut off for good.
Debugging this revealed a flaw in the idle design: an aggregation run
will see no task activity and decide to go to sleep; shortly thereafter,
the kworker thread that executed the aggregation will go idle and cause
a scheduling change, during which the psi callback will kick the
!pending worker again. This will ping-pong forever, and is equivalent
to having no shut-off logic at all (but with more code!)
Fix this by exempting aggregation workers from psi's clock waking logic
when the state change is them going to sleep. To do this, tag workers
with the last work function they executed, and if in psi we see a worker
going to sleep after aggregating psi data, we will not reschedule the
aggregation work item.
What if the worker is also executing other items before or after?
Any psi state times that were incurred by work items preceding the
aggregation work will have been collected from the per-cpu buckets
during the aggregation itself. If there are work items following the
aggregation work, the worker's last_func tag will be overwritten and the
aggregator will be kept alive to process this genuine new activity.
If the aggregation work is the last thing the worker does, and we decide
to go idle, the brief period of non-idle time incurred between the
aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will be stranded in the
per-cpu buckets until the clock is woken by later activity. But that
should not be a problem. The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and
future activity will wake the clock with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth
of data we can leave behind when disabling aggregation. If it takes a
worker more than two seconds to go idle after it finishes its last work
item, we likely have bigger problems in the system, and won't notice one
sample that was averaged with a bogus per-CPU weight.

Currently, exit_ptrace() adds all ptraced tasks in a dead list, then

then are tasks from the dead list released.
zap_pid_ns_processes() can get stuck on waiting tasks from the dead

more dead children.

With the following commit:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled. However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case. So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.
Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
"notsupported"; and
2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.
I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem. Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later. So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).
The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.
So fix it by:
a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
bc2d8d262c ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")
and
b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
warning is needed. This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

Notable cmpxchg() does not provide ordering when it fails, however

The only guarantee provided by wake_q_add() is that a wakeup will
happen after it, it does _NOT_ guarantee the wakeup will be delayed
until the matching wake_up_q().
If wake_q_add() fails the cmpxchg() a concurrent wakeup is pending and
that can happen at any time after the cmpxchg(). This means we should
not rely on the wakeup happening at wake_q_up(), but should be ready
for wake_q_add() to issue the wakeup.
The delay; if provided (most likely); should only result in more efficient
behaviour.

For some peculiar reason rcuwait_wake_up() has the right barrier in

This mistake has been observed to cause a deadlock in the following
situation:

percpu_up_read() percpu_down_write()
rcu_sync_is_idle() // false
rcu_sync_enter()

Where the smp_rmb() (obviously) fails to constrain the store.
