It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.
Also make fs/locks.c use it.

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec261 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

This reverts commit bf726eab37, as it has
been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(),
apparently because some missing wakeup.
Quoth Sven Wegener:
"I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my
last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e
"semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.
Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get
several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o
on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit
kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for
the output of sysrq-w."
See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45
for full report.
In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by
reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead,
since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it
tries to be fair.

| Generic semaphore implementation
|
| After I manually reverted the patch against 2.6.26-rc1 while fixing
| lots of conflicts/errors, aim7 regression became less than 2%.
i reproduced the AIM7 workload and can confirm Yanmin's findings that
-.26-rc1 regresses over .25 - by over 67% here.
Looking at the workload i found and fixed what i believe to be the real
bug causing the AIM7 regression: it was inefficient wakeup / scheduling
/ locking behavior of the new generic semaphore code, causing suboptimal
performance.
The problem comes from the following code. The new semaphore code does
this on down():
spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
if (likely(sem->count > 0))
sem->count--;
else
__down(sem);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);
and this on up():
spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
if (likely(list_empty(&sem->wait_list)))
sem->count++;
else
__up(sem);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);
where __up() does:
list_del(&waiter->list);
waiter->up = 1;
wake_up_process(waiter->task);
and where __down() does this in essence:
list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &sem->wait_list);
waiter.task = task;
waiter.up = 0;
for (;;) {
[...]
spin_unlock_irq(&sem->lock);
timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);
spin_lock_irq(&sem->lock);
if (waiter.up)
return 0;
}
the fastpath looks good and obvious, but note the following property of
the contended path: if there's a task on the ->wait_list, the up() of
the current owner will "pass over" ownership to that waiting task, in a
wake-one manner, via the waiter->up flag and by removing the waiter from
the wait list.
That is all and fine in principle, but as implemented in
kernel/semaphore.c it also creates a nasty, hidden source of contention!
The contention comes from the following property of the new semaphore
code: the new owner owns the semaphore exclusively, even if it is not
running yet.
So if the old owner, even if just a few instructions later, does a
down() [lock_kernel()] again, it will be blocked and will have to wait
on the new owner to eventually be scheduled (possibly on another CPU)!
Or if another task gets to lock_kernel() sooner than the "new owner"
scheduled, it will be blocked unnecessarily and for a very long time
when there are 2000 tasks running.
I.e. the implementation of the new semaphores code does wake-one and
lock ownership in a very restrictive way - it does not allow
opportunistic re-locking of the lock at all and keeps the scheduler from
picking task order intelligently.
This kind of scheduling, with 2000 AIM7 processes running, creates awful
cross-scheduling between those 2000 tasks, causes reduced parallelism, a
throttled runqueue length and a lot of idle time. With increasing number
of CPUs it causes an exponentially worse behavior in AIM7, as the chance
for a newly woken new-owner task to actually run anytime soon is less
and less likely.
Note that it takes just a tiny bit of contention for the 'new-semaphore
catastrophy' to happen: the wakeup latencies get added to whatever small
contention there is, and quickly snowball out of control!
I believe Yanmin's findings and numbers support this analysis too.
The best fix for this problem is to use the same scheduling logic that
the kernel/mutex.c code uses: keep the wake-one behavior (that is OK and
wanted because we do not want to over-schedule), but also allow
opportunistic locking of the lock even if a wakee is already "in
flight".
The patch below implements this new logic. With this patch applied the
AIM7 regression is largely fixed on my quad testbox:
# v2.6.25 vanilla:
..................
Tasks Jobs/Min JTI Real CPU Jobs/sec/task
2000 56096.4 91 207.5 789.7 0.4675

2000 55704.4 96 209.0 796.0 0.4642
i.e. a 67% speedup. We are now back to within 1% of the v2.6.25
performance levels and have zero idle time during the test, as expected.
Btw., interactivity also improved dramatically with the fix - for
example console-switching became almost instantaneous during this
workload (which after all is running 2000 tasks at once!), without the
patch it was stuck for a minute at times.
There's another nice side-effect of this speedup patch, the new generic
semaphore code got even smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
1241 0 0 1241 4d9 semaphore.o.before
1207 0 0 1207 4b7 semaphore.o.after
(because the waiter.up complication got removed.)
Longer-term we should look into using the mutex code for the generic
semaphore code as well - but i's not easy due to legacies and it's
outside of the scope of v2.6.26 and outside the scope of this patch as
well.

David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets

The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.
While at it, also:
- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
enabled.
- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
is 32-bit.

When I echoed 0 into the "cpu.shares" file, a Div0 error occured.
We found it is caused by the following calling.
sched_group_set_shares(tg, shares)
set_se_shares(tg->se[i], shares/nr_cpu_ids)
__set_se_shares(se, shares)
div64_64((1ULL<<32), shares)
When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.
It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.
This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.

Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical

So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle
processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue. The
assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we
wouldnt be overloaded to begin with.
The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include
RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks. Since the presence of RT tasks
really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws
the calculation off.
This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks
when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.

The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!
Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.
If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.

Drop generating 64-bit constants, since we have no real hope of

Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared
interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver
loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a
spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line.
I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not
work anymore so I can not verify).
Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and
mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the
interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq
line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the
spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the
one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box
usable again.
Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis
in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware
before starting the new kernel. This patch should reduce the need for
using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

With s390 the last arch switched to the generic sys_ptrace yesterday so
we can now kill the ifdef around it to enforce every new port it using
it instead of introducing new weirdo versions.

timer_stats_timer_set_start_info is invoked twice, additionally, the
invocation of this function can be moved to where it is only called when a
delay is really required.

The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles
ranges. eg:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should
be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M. Only if
the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated.
Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose
that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range,
ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

Remove the leap second handling from second_overflow(), which doesn't have to
check for it every second anymore. With CONFIG_NO_HZ this also makes sure the
leap second is handled close to the full second. Additionally this makes it
possible to abort a leap second properly by resetting the STA_INS/STA_DEL
status bits.

current_tick_length used to do a little more, but now it just returns
tick_length, which we can also access directly at the few places, where it's
needed.

As TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT is used for more than just the tick length, the name
isn't quite approriate anymore, so this renames it to NTP_SCALE_SHIFT.

This adds support for setting the TAI value (International Atomic Time). The
value is reported back to userspace via timex (as we don't have a
ntp_gettime() syscall).

time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this
makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.
Side note: the SHIFT_HZ in SHIFT_UPDATE was incorrect for CONFIG_NO_HZ and the
primary reason for changing time_offset to 64bit to avoid the overflow.

This changes time_freq to a 64bit value and makes it static (the only outside
user had no real need to modify it). Intermediate values were already 64bit,
so the change isn't that big, but it saves a little in shifts by replacing
SHIFT_NSEC with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT. PPM_SCALE is then used to convert between
user space and kernel space representation.
