context_tracking: Restore previous state in schedule_user

2014-12-04T04:55:58Z

It appears that some SCHEDULE_USER (asm for schedule_user) callers in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S are called from RCU kernel context, and schedule_user will return in RCU user context. This causes RCU warnings and possible failures. This is intended to be a minimal fix suitable for 3.18. Reported-and-tested-by: Dave Jones Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker Acked-by: Paul E.

sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency

2014-11-16T09:04:20Z

Commit d670ec13178d0 "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles" fixes one glibc test case in cost of breaking another one. After that commit, calling clock_nanosleep(TIMER_ABSTIME, X) and then clock_gettime(&Y) can result of Y time being smaller than X time. Reproducer/tester can be found further below, it can be compiled and ran by: gcc -o tst-cpuclock2 tst-cpuclock2.c -pthread while ./tst-cpuclock2 ; do : ; done This reproducer, when running on a buggy kernel, will complain about "clock_gettime difference too small". Issue happens because on start in thread_group_cputimer() we initialize sum_exec_runtime of cputimer with threads runtime not yet accounted and then add the threads runtime to running cputimer again on scheduler tick, making it's sum_exec_runtime bigger than actual threads runtime. KOSAKI Motohiro posted a fix for this problem, but that patch was never applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/26/191 . This patch takes different approach to cure the problem. It calls update_curr() when cputimer starts, that assure we will have updated stats of running threads and on the next schedule tick we will account only the runtime that elapsed from cputimer start. That also assure we have consistent state between cpu times of individual threads and cpu time of the process consisted by those threads.

sched/cputime: Fix cpu_timer_sample_group() double accounting

2014-11-16T09:04:18Z

While looking over the cpu-timer code I found that we appear to add the delta for the calling task twice, through: cpu_timer_sample_group() thread_group_cputimer() thread_group_cputime() times->sum_exec_runtime += task_sched_runtime(); *sample = cputime.sum_exec_runtime + task_delta_exec(); Which would make the sample run ahead, making the sleep short.

sched: Remove lockdep check in sched_move_task()

2014-11-04T06:07:30Z

sched_move_task() is the only interface to change sched_task_group: cpu_cgrp_subsys methods and autogroup_move_group() use it. Everything is synchronized by task_rq_lock(), so cpu_cgroup_attach() is ordered with other users of sched_move_task(). This means we do no need RCU here: if we've dereferenced a tg here, the .attach method hasn't been called for it yet. Thus, we should pass "true" to task_css_check() to silence lockdep warnings.

sched: stop the unbound recursion in preempt_schedule_context()

2014-10-28T09:46:05Z

preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again. 1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched() by hand. 2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case we need to move into sched/core.c. 3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match preempt_schedule().

sched: Fix race between task_group and sched_task_group

2014-10-28T09:45:59Z

The race may happen when somebody is changing task_group of a forking task. Child's cgroup is the same as parent's after dup_task_struct() (there just memory copying). Also, cfs_rq and rt_rq are the same as parent's. But if parent changes its task_group before it's called cgroup_post_fork(), we do not reflect this situation on child. Child's cfs_rq and rt_rq remain the same, while child's task_group changes in cgroup_post_fork(). To fix this we introduce fork() method, which calls sched_move_task() directly. This function changes sched_task_group on appropriate (also its logic has no problem with freshly created tasks, so we shouldn't introduce something special; we are able just to use it). Possibly, this decides the Burke Libbey's problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/24/456 Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Linus Torvalds Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1414405105.19914.169.camel@tkhai Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
