mm/slub: move slab initialization into irq enabled region
Initializing a new slab can introduce rather large latencies because most
of the initialization runs always with interrupts disabled.
There is no point in doing so. The newly allocated slab is not visible
yet, so there is no reason to protect it against concurrent alloc/free.
Move the expensive parts of the initialization into allocate_slab(), so
for all allocations with GFP_WAIT set, interrupts are enabled.

workqueue: Prevent deadlock/stall on RT
Austin reported a XFS deadlock/stall on RT where scheduled work gets
never exececuted and tasks are waiting for each other for ever.
The underlying problem is the modification of the RT code to the
handling of workers which are about to go to sleep. In mainline a
worker thread which goes to sleep wakes an idle worker if there is
more work to do. This happens from the guts of the schedule()
function. On RT this must be outside and the accessed data structures
are not protected against scheduling due to the spinlock to rtmutex
conversion. So the naive solution to this was to move the code outside
of the scheduler and protect the data structures by the pool
lock. That approach turned out to be a little naive as we cannot call
into that code when the thread blocks on a lock, as it is not allowed
to block on two locks in parallel. So we dont call into the worker
wakeup magic when the worker is blocked on a lock, which causes the
deadlock/stall observed by Austin and Mike.
Looking deeper into that worker code it turns out that the only
relevant data structure which needs to be protected is the list of
idle workers which can be woken up.
So the solution is to protect the list manipulation operations with
preempt_enable/disable pairs on RT and call unconditionally into the
worker code even when the worker is blocked on a lock. The preemption
protection is safe as there is nothing which can fiddle with the list
outside of thread context.

sched: Do not clear PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag in select_fallback_rq()
I talked with Peter Zijlstra about this, and he told me that the clearing
of the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag was to deal with the optimization of
migrate_disable/enable() that ignores tasks that have that flag set. But
that optimization was removed when I did a rework of the cpu hotplug code.
I found that ignoring tasks that had that flag set would cause those tasks
to not sync with the hotplug code and cause the kernel to crash. Thus it
needed to not treat them special and those tasks had to go though the same
work as tasks without that flag set.
Now that those tasks are not treated special, there's no reason to clear the
flag.
May still need to be tested as the migrate_me() code does not ignore those
flags.

sched: Add support for lazy preemption
It has become an obsession to mitigate the determinism vs. throughput
loss of RT. Looking at the mainline semantics of preemption points
gives a hint why RT sucks throughput wise for ordinary SCHED_OTHER
tasks. One major issue is the wakeup of tasks which are right away
preempting the waking task while the waking task holds a lock on which
the woken task will block right after having preempted the wakee. In
mainline this is prevented due to the implicit preemption disable of
spin/rw_lock held regions. On RT this is not possible due to the fully
preemptible nature of sleeping spinlocks.
Though for a SCHED_OTHER task preempting another SCHED_OTHER task this
is really not a correctness issue. RT folks are concerned about
SCHED_FIFO/RR tasks preemption and not about the purely fairness
driven SCHED_OTHER preemption latencies.
So I introduced a lazy preemption mechanism which only applies to
SCHED_OTHER tasks preempting another SCHED_OTHER task. Aside of the
existing preempt_count each tasks sports now a preempt_lazy_count
which is manipulated on lock acquiry and release. This is slightly
incorrect as for lazyness reasons I coupled this on
migrate_disable/enable so some other mechanisms get the same treatment
(e.g. get_cpu_light).
Now on the scheduler side instead of setting NEED_RESCHED this sets
NEED_RESCHED_LAZY in case of a SCHED_OTHER/SCHED_OTHER preemption and
therefor allows to exit the waking task the lock held region before
the woken task preempts. That also works better for cross CPU wakeups
as the other side can stay in the adaptive spinning loop.
For RT class preemption there is no change. This simply sets
NEED_RESCHED and forgoes the lazy preemption counter.
Initial test do not expose any observable latency increasement, but
history shows that I've been proven wrong before :)
The lazy preemption mode is per default on, but with
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG enabled it can be disabled via:
Since it is no longer invoked from the softirq people run into OOM more
often if the priority of the RCU thread is too low. Making boosting
default on RT should help in those case and it can be switched off if
someone knows better.

Running RCU out of softirq is a problem for some workloads that would
like to manage RCU core processing independently of other softirq work,
for example, setting kthread priority. This commit therefore moves the
RCU core work from softirq to a per-CPU/per-flavor SCHED_OTHER kthread
named rcuc. The SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems
that appeared with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to
from softirq to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y
will run the rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.

softirq: Split softirq locks
The 3.x RT series removed the split softirq implementation in favour
of pushing softirq processing into the context of the thread which
raised it. Though this prevents us from handling the various softirqs
at different priorities. Now instead of reintroducing the split
softirq threads we split the locks which serialize the softirq
processing.
If a softirq is raised in context of a thread, then the softirq is
noted on a per thread field, if the thread is in a bh disabled
region. If the softirq is raised from hard interrupt context, then the
bit is set in the flag field of ksoftirqd and ksoftirqd is invoked.
When a thread leaves a bh disabled region, then it tries to execute
the softirqs which have been raised in its own context. It acquires
the per softirq / per cpu lock for the softirq and then checks,
whether the softirq is still pending in the per cpu
local_softirq_pending() field. If yes, it runs the softirq. If no,
then some other task executed it already. This allows for zero config
softirq elevation in the context of user space tasks or interrupt

Where the waiter->lock is corrupted. I saw various other random bugs
that all had to with the softirq lock and plist. As plist needs to be

#define local_irq_lock_init(lvar) \
do { \
int __cpu; \
for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu) \
spin_lock_init(&per_cpu(lvar, __cpu).lock); \
} while (0)
As the softirq lock is a local_irq_lock, which is a per_cpu lock, the
initialization is done to all per_cpu versions of the lock. But lets
look at where the softirq_early_init() is called from.
In init/main.c: start_kernel()
/*
* Interrupts are still disabled. Do necessary setups, then
* enable them
*/
softirq_early_init();
tick_init();
boot_cpu_init();
page_address_init();
printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s", linux_banner);
setup_arch(&command_line);
mm_init_owner(&init_mm, &init_task);
mm_init_cpumask(&init_mm);
setup_command_line(command_line);
setup_nr_cpu_ids();
setup_per_cpu_areas();
smp_prepare_boot_cpu(); /* arch-specific boot-cpu hooks */
One of the first things that is called is the initialization of the
softirq lock. But if you look further down, we see the per_cpu areas
have not been set up yet. Thus initializing a local_irq_lock() before
the per_cpu section is set up, may not work as it is initializing the
per cpu locks before the per cpu exists.
By moving the softirq_early_init() right after setup_per_cpu_areas(),
the kernel boots fine.

cpu_down: move migrate_enable() back
Commit 08c1ab68, "hotplug-use-migrate-disable.patch", intends to
use migrate_enable()/migrate_disable() to replace that combination
of preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), but actually in
!CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL case, migrate_enable()/migrate_disable()
are still equal to preempt_enable()/preempt_disable(). So that
followed cpu_hotplug_begin()/cpu_unplug_begin(cpu) would go schedule()
to trigger schedule_debug() like this:
kernel/hotplug: restore original cpu mask oncpu/down
If a task which is allowed to run only on CPU X puts CPU Y down then it
will be allowed on all CPUs but the on CPU Y after it comes back from
kernel. This patch ensures that we don't lose the initial setting unless
the CPU the task is running is going down.

kernel/cpu: fix cpu down problem if kthread's cpu is going down
If kthread is pinned to CPUx and CPUx is going down then we get into
trouble:
- first the unplug thread is created
- it will set itself to hp->unplug. As a result, every task that is
going to take a lock, has to leave the CPU.
- the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier are started. The worker thread will
start a new process for the "high priority worker".
Now kthread would like to take a lock but since it can't leave the CPU
it will never complete its task.
We could fire the unplug thread after the notifier but then the cpu is
no longer marked "online" and the unplug thread will run on CPU0 which
was fixed before :)
So instead the unplug thread is started and kept waiting until the
notfier complete their work.

cpu hotplug: Document why PREEMPT_RT uses a spinlock
The patch:
cpu: Make hotplug.lock a "sleeping" spinlock on RT
Tasks can block on hotplug.lock in pin_current_cpu(), but their
state might be != RUNNING. So the mutex wakeup will set the state
unconditionally to RUNNING. That might cause spurious unexpected
wakeups. We could provide a state preserving mutex_lock() function,
but this is semantically backwards. So instead we convert the
hotplug.lock() to a spinlock for RT, which has the state preserving
semantics already.
Fixed a bug where the hotplug lock on PREEMPT_RT can be called after a
task set its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and before it called
schedule. If the hotplug_lock used a mutex, and there was contention,
the current task's state would be turned to TASK_RUNNABLE and the
schedule call will not sleep. This caused unexpected results.
Although the patch had a description of the change, the code had no
comments about it. This causes confusion to those that review the code,
and as PREEMPT_RT is held in a quilt queue and not git, it's not as easy
to see why a change was made. Even if it was in git, the code should
still have a comment for something as subtle as this.
Document the rational for using a spinlock on PREEMPT_RT in the hotplug
lock code.

cpu/rt: Rework cpu down for PREEMPT_RT
Bringing a CPU down is a pain with the PREEMPT_RT kernel because
tasks can be preempted in many more places than in non-RT. In
order to handle per_cpu variables, tasks may be pinned to a CPU
for a while, and even sleep. But these tasks need to be off the CPU
if that CPU is going down.
Several synchronization methods have been tried, but when stressed
they failed. This is a new approach.
A sync_tsk thread is still created and tasks may still block on a
lock when the CPU is going down, but how that works is a bit different.
When cpu_down() starts, it will create the sync_tsk and wait on it
to inform that current tasks that are pinned on the CPU are no longer
pinned. But new tasks that are about to be pinned will still be allowed
to do so at this time.
Then the notifiers are called. Several notifiers will bring down tasks
that will enter these locations. Some of these tasks will take locks
of other tasks that are on the CPU. If we don't let those other tasks
continue, but make them block until CPU down is done, the tasks that
the notifiers are waiting on will never complete as they are waiting
for the locks held by the tasks that are blocked.
Thus we still let the task pin the CPU until the notifiers are done.
After the notifiers run, we then make new tasks entering the pinned
CPU sections grab a mutex and wait. This mutex is now a per CPU mutex
in the hotplug_pcp descriptor.
To help things along, a new function in the scheduler code is created
called migrate_me(). This function will try to migrate the current task
off the CPU this is going down if possible. When the sync_tsk is created,
all tasks will then try to migrate off the CPU going down. There are
several cases that this wont work, but it helps in most cases.
After the notifiers are called and if a task can't migrate off but enters
the pin CPU sections, it will be forced to wait on the hotplug_pcp mutex
until the CPU down is complete. Then the scheduler will force the migration
anyway.
Also, I found that THREAD_BOUND need to also be accounted for in the
pinned CPU, and the migrate_disable no longer treats them special.
This helps fix issues with ksoftirqd and workqueue that unbind on CPU down.

and this is why the counter get out of sync and the warning is printed.
The other problem is that we are non-preemptible between
glue_fpu_begin() and glue_fpu_end() and the latency grows. To fix this,
I shorten the FPU off region and ensure blkcipher_walk_done() is called
with preemption enabled. This might hurt the performance because we now

the bug is gone.

On -RT, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:
1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled
This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.
The solution:
Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.
Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

To work around this in the short term you can use this patch, in
addition to the clocksource watchdog patch that Thomas brewed up.
Comments are welcome of course. Ultimately the right solution is to
change separation between the console and the HW to have a polled mode
+ work queue so as not to introduce any kind of latency.
There are (probably rare) situations when a system crashed and the system
console becomes unresponsive but the network icmp layer still is alive.
Wouldn't it be wonderful, if we then could submit a sysreq command via ping?

net: Avoid livelock in net_tx_action() on RT
qdisc_lock is taken w/o disabling interrupts or bottom halfs. So code
holding a qdisc_lock() can be interrupted and softirqs can run on the
return of interrupt in !RT.
The spin_trylock() in net_tx_action() makes sure, that the softirq
does not deadlock. When the lock can't be acquired q is requeued and
the NET_TX softirq is raised. That causes the softirq to run over and
over.
That works in mainline as do_softirq() has a retry loop limit and
leaves the softirq processing in the interrupt return path and
schedules ksoftirqd. The task which holds qdisc_lock cannot be
preempted, so the lock is released and either ksoftirqd or the next
softirq in the return from interrupt path can proceed. Though it's a
bit strange to actually run MAX_SOFTIRQ_RESTART (10) loops before it
decides to bail out even if it's clear in the first iteration :)
On RT all softirq processing is done in a FIFO thread and we don't
have a loop limit, so ksoftirqd preempts the lock holder forever and
unqueues and requeues until the reset button is hit.
Due to the forced threading of ksoftirqd on RT we actually cannot
deadlock on qdisc_lock because it's a "sleeping lock". So it's safe to
replace the spin_trylock() with a spin_lock(). When contended,
ksoftirqd is scheduled out and the lock holder can proceed.

the root cause is commit 02fe2845d6a8 ("avoid enabling interrupts in

abort assemble code and move them into page/breakpiont/alignment fault
handlers instead. But author does not enable irq in translation/section

interrupt mode, if kernel doesn't enable irq, it would be still disabled
during translation/section permission fault.
We see the above splat because do_force_sig_info is still called with
IRQs off, and that code eventually does a:
spin_lock_irqsave(&t->sighand->siglock, flags);
As this is architecture independent code, and we've not seen any other
need for other arch to have the siglock converted to raw lock, we can
conclude that we should enable irq for ARM translation/section

powerpc/kvm: Disable in-kernel MPIC emulation for PREEMPT_RT_FULL
While converting the openpic emulation code to use a raw_spinlock_t enables
guests to run on RT, there's still a performance issue. For interrupts sent in
directed delivery mode with a multiple CPU mask, the emulated openpic will loop
through all of the VCPUs, and for each VCPUs, it call IRQ_check, which will loop
through all the pending interrupts for that VCPU. This is done while holding the
raw_lock, meaning that in all this time the interrupts and preemption are
disabled on the host Linux. A malicious user app can max both these number and
cause a DoS.
This temporary fix is sent for two reasons. First is so that users who want to
use the in-kernel MPIC emulation are aware of the potential latencies, thus
making sure that the hardware MPIC and their usage scenario does not involve
interrupts sent in directed delivery mode, and the number of possible pending
interrupts is kept small. Secondly, this should incentivize the development of a
proper openpic emulation that would be better suited for RT.
