include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline
There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI
the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were
IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU.
smp_call_function_single_async() |
=
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

sched, smp: Trace smp callback causing an IPI
Context
=======
The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.
While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.
This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.
Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.
Changes
=======
send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).
Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.
Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.

sched, smp: Trace smp callback causing an IPI
Context
=======
The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.
While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.
This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.
Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.
Changes
=======
send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).
Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.
Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.

smp,csd: Throw an error if a CSD lock is stuck for too long
The CSD lock seems to get stuck in 2 "modes". When it gets stuck
temporarily, it usually gets released in a few seconds, and sometimes
up to one or two minutes.
If the CSD lock stays stuck for more than several minutes, it never
seems to get unstuck, and gradually more and more things in the system
end up also getting stuck.
In the latter case, we should just give up, so the system can dump out
a little more information about what went wrong, and, with panic_on_oops
and a kdump kernel loaded, dump a whole bunch more information about what
might have gone wrong. In addition, there is an smp.panic_on_ipistall
kernel boot parameter that by default retains the old behavior, but when
set enables the panic after the CSD lock has been stuck for more than
the specified number of milliseconds, as in 300,000 for five minutes.

locking/csd-lock: Switch from sched_clock() to ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()
Currently, the CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG code uses sched_clock() to check
for excessive CSD-lock wait times. This works, but does not guarantee
monotonic timestamps on x86 due to the sched_clock() function's use of
the rdtsc instruction, which does not guarantee ordering. This means
that, given successive calls to sched_clock(), the second might return
an earlier time than the second, that is, time might seem to go backwards.
This can (and does!) result in false-positive CSD-lock wait complaints
claiming almost 2^64 nanoseconds of delay.
Therefore, switch from sched_clock() to ktime_get_mono_fast_ns(), which
does guarantee monotonic timestamps via the rdtsc_ordered() function,
which as the name implies, does guarantee ordered timestamps, at least
in the absence of calls from NMI handlers, which are not involved in
this code path.

locking/csd-lock: Switch from sched_clock() to ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()
Currently, the CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG code uses sched_clock() to check
for excessive CSD-lock wait times. This works, but does not guarantee
monotonic timestamps on x86 due to the sched_clock() function's use of
the rdtsc instruction, which does not guarantee ordering. This means
that, given successive calls to sched_clock(), the second might return
an earlier time than the second, that is, time might seem to go backwards.
This can (and does!) result in false-positive CSD-lock wait complaints
claiming almost 2^64 nanoseconds of delay.
Therefore, switch from sched_clock() to ktime_get_mono_fast_ns(), which
does guarantee monotonic timestamps via the rdtsc_ordered() function,
which as the name implies, does guarantee ordered timestamps, at least
in the absence of calls from NMI handlers, which are not involved in
this code path.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.
This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.
Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

sched, smp: Trace smp callback causing an IPI
Context
=======
The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.
While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.
This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.
Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.
Changes
=======
send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).
Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.
Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.

smp: Improve smp_call_function_single() CSD-lock diagnostics
Both smp_call_function() and smp_call_function_single() use per-CPU
call_single_data_t variable to hold the infamous CSD lock. However,
while smp_call_function() acquires the destination CPU's CSD lock,
smp_call_function_single() instead uses the source CPU's CSD lock.
(These are two separate sets of CSD locks, cfd_data and csd_data,
respectively.)
This otherwise inexplicable pair of choices is explained by their
respective queueing properties. If smp_call_function() where to
use the sending CPU's CSD lock, that would serialize the destination
CPUs' IPI handlers and result in long smp_call_function() latencies,
especially on systems with large numbers of CPUs. For its part, if
smp_call_function_single() were to use the (single) destination CPU's
CSD lock, this would similarly serialize in the case where many CPUs
are sending IPIs to a single "victim" CPU. Plus it would result in
higher levels of memory contention.
Except that if there is no NMI-based stack tracing on a weakly ordered
system where remote unsynchronized stack traces are especially unreliable,
the improved debugging beats the improved queueing. This improved queueing
only matters if a bunch of CPUs are calling smp_call_function_single()
concurrently for a single "victim" CPU, which is not the common case.
Therefore, make smp_call_function_single() use the destination CPU's
csd_data instance in kernels built with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG=y
where csdlock_debug_enabled is also set. Otherwise, continue to use
the source CPU's csd_data.

trace,smp: Add tracepoints for scheduling remotelly called functions
Add a tracepoint for when a CSD is queued to a remote CPU's
call_single_queue. This allows finding exactly which CPU queued a given CSD
when looking at a csd_function_{entry,exit} event, and also enables us to
accurately measure IPI delivery time with e.g. a synthetic event:
$ echo 'hist:keys=cpu,csd.hex:ts=common_timestamp.usecs' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_queue_cpu/trigger
$ echo 'csd_latency unsigned int dst_cpu; unsigned long csd; u64 time' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
$ echo \
'hist:keys=common_cpu,csd.hex:'\
'time=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:'\
'onmatch(smp.csd_queue_cpu).trace(csd_latency,common_cpu,csd,$time)' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_function_entry/trigger

CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline
There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI
the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were
IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU.
smp_call_function_single_async() |
=
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.
This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.
Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPU
There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs
to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler
code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a
while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far
it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding
out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization
with CPU hotplug.
However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that
there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more
specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when
the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that
synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code.
Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function
framework, to help debug such issues easily.
Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were
sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by
that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids
scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender
uses proper hotplug synchronization).
In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the
payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq()
function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block
layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and
realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the
culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should
put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues.
This patch (of 2):
Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI
on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that
something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who
sent the IPI and why, from this info alone.
In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU,
immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine
phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in
stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already
lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the
stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all
of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a
better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why.
To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop
through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload
(i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the
target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent
the IPI and help us debug this further.

CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline
There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI
the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were
IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU.
smp_call_function_single_async() |
=
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPU
There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs
to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler
code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a
while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far
it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding
out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization
with CPU hotplug.
However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that
there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more
specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when
the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that
synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code.
Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function
framework, to help debug such issues easily.
Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were
sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by
that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids
scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender
uses proper hotplug synchronization).
In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the
payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq()
function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block
layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and
realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the
culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should
put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues.
This patch (of 2):
Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI
on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that
something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who
sent the IPI and why, from this info alone.
In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU,
immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine
phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in
stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already
lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the
stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all
of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a
better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why.
To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop
through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload
(i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the
target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent
the IPI and help us debug this further.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.
This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.
Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

smp: Improve smp_call_function_single() CSD-lock diagnostics
Both smp_call_function() and smp_call_function_single() use per-CPU
call_single_data_t variable to hold the infamous CSD lock. However,
while smp_call_function() acquires the destination CPU's CSD lock,
smp_call_function_single() instead uses the source CPU's CSD lock.
(These are two separate sets of CSD locks, cfd_data and csd_data,
respectively.)
This otherwise inexplicable pair of choices is explained by their
respective queueing properties. If smp_call_function() where to
use the sending CPU's CSD lock, that would serialize the destination
CPUs' IPI handlers and result in long smp_call_function() latencies,
especially on systems with large numbers of CPUs. For its part, if
smp_call_function_single() were to use the (single) destination CPU's
CSD lock, this would similarly serialize in the case where many CPUs
are sending IPIs to a single "victim" CPU. Plus it would result in
higher levels of memory contention.
Except that if there is no NMI-based stack tracing on a weakly ordered
system where remote unsynchronized stack traces are especially unreliable,
the improved debugging beats the improved queueing. This improved queueing
only matters if a bunch of CPUs are calling smp_call_function_single()
concurrently for a single "victim" CPU, which is not the common case.
Therefore, make smp_call_function_single() use the destination CPU's
csd_data instance in kernels built with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG=y
where csdlock_debug_enabled is also set. Otherwise, continue to use
the source CPU's csd_data.

smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to smp_call_function_single()
I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload
has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory
region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page,
page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both
need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens
in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this
workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily.
Without patch, perf shows:
+ 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
- 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 79.80% __page_check_address
+ 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
+ 3.31% get_swap_page
+ 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk
+ 1.75% handle_pte_fault
+ 1.54% put_super
+ 1.41% grab_super_passive
+ 1.36% __swap_duplicate
+ 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list
+ 0.62% swap_info_get
+ 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many
+ 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+ 2.18% [k] find_next_bit
swapout throughput is around 1300M/s.
With the patch, perf shows:
- 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 80.53% __page_check_address
+ 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt

swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7%
improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change.
Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs.
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times
which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data
becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this
doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend.
Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch
code.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.
This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.
Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to smp_call_function_single()
I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload
has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory
region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page,
page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both
need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens
in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this
workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily.
Without patch, perf shows:
+ 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
- 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 79.80% __page_check_address

+ 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys

swapout throughput is around 1300M/s.
With the patch, perf shows:
- 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 80.53% __page_check_address

lib/cpumask: add FORCE_NR_CPUS config option
The size of cpumasks is hard-limited by compile-time parameter NR_CPUS,
but defined at boot-time when kernel parses ACPI/DT tables, and stored in
nr_cpu_ids. In many practical cases, number of CPUs for a target is known
at compile time, and can be provided with NR_CPUS.
In that case, compiler may be instructed to rely on NR_CPUS as on actual
number of CPUs, not an upper limit. It allows to optimize many cpumask
routines and significantly shrink size of the kernel image.
This patch adds FORCE_NR_CPUS option to teach the compiler to rely on
NR_CPUS and enable corresponding optimizations.
If FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, kernel will not set nr_cpu_ids at boot, but only check
that the actual number of possible CPUs is equal to NR_CPUS, and WARN if
that doesn't hold.
The new option is especially useful in embedded applications because
kernel configurations are unique for each SoC, the number of CPUs is
constant and known well, and memory limitations are typically harder.
For my 4-CPU ARM64 build with NR_CPUS=4, FORCE_NR_CPUS=y saves 46KB:
add/remove: 3/4 grow/shrink: 46/729 up/down: 652/-46952 (-46300)
