sched/core: Correct off by one bug in load migration calculation

2016-07-13T12:58:20Z

The move of calc_load_migrate() from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DYING did not take into account that the function is now called from a thread running on the outgoing CPU. As a result a cpu unplug leakes a load of 1 into the global load accounting mechanism. Fix it by adjusting for the currently running thread which calls calc_load_migrate().

sched/core: Allow kthreads to fall back to online && !active cpus

2016-06-24T06:26:53Z

During CPU hotplug, CPU_ONLINE callbacks are run while the CPU is online but not active. A CPU_ONLINE callback may create or bind a kthread so that its cpus_allowed mask only allows the CPU which is being brought online. The kthread may start executing before the CPU is made active and can end up in select_fallback_rq(). In such cases, the expected behavior is selecting the CPU which is coming online; however, because select_fallback_rq() only chooses from active CPUs, it determines that the task doesn't have any viable CPU in its allowed mask and ends up overriding it to cpu_possible_mask. CPU_ONLINE callbacks should be able to put kthreads on the CPU which is coming online. Update select_fallback_rq() so that it follows cpu_online() rather than cpu_active() for kthreads.

kernel/sysrq, watchdog, sched/core: Reset watchdog on all CPUs while processing sysrq-w

2016-06-14T10:48:38Z

Lengthy output of sysrq-w may take a lot of time on slow serial console. Currently we reset NMI-watchdog on the current CPU to avoid spurious lockup messages. Sometimes this doesn't work since softlockup watchdog might trigger on another CPU which is waiting for an IPI to proceed. We reset softlockup watchdogs on all CPUs, but we do this only after listing all tasks, and this may be too late on a busy system. So, reset watchdogs CPUs earlier, in for_each_process_thread() loop.

sched/fair: Fix post_init_entity_util_avg() serialization

Merge branch 'stacking-fixes' (vfs stacking fixes from Jann)

2016-06-10T19:10:02Z

Merge filesystem stacking fixes from Jann Horn. * emailed patches from Jann Horn : sched: panic on corrupted stack end ecryptfs: forbid opening files without mmap handler proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top

sched: panic on corrupted stack end

2016-06-10T19:09:43Z

Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info). Just panic directly. Signed-off-by: Jann Horn Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

sched/debug: Fix 'schedstats=enable' cmdline option

Changing jump_label_init() to be called earlier before parse_early_param() wouldn't fix it: it would still fail trying to poke_text() because mm isn't yet initialized. Instead, just create a temporary '__sched_schedstats' variable which can be copied to the static key later during sched_init() after jump labels have been initialized.

sched/core: Fix remote wakeups

2016-05-25T06:35:18Z

Commit: b5179ac70de8 ("sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration") ... introduced a bug: Mike Galbraith found that it introduced a performance regression, while Paul E. McKenney reported lost wakeups and bisected it to this commit. The reason is that I mis-read ttwu_queue() such that I assumed any wakeup that got a remote queue must have had the task migrated. Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and modified cacheline. Reported-by: Paul E.
