2018-01-07sched/core: Idle_task_exit() shouldn't use switch_mm_irqs_off()Andy Lutomirski
commit 252d2a4117bc181b287eeddf848863788da733ae upstream. idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off(). This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes. Nonetheless, I think it should be backported because it's trivial. There won't be any meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only used when offlining a CPU.

2017-10-12sched/topology: Fix building of overlapping sched-groupsPeter Zijlstra
commit 0372dd2736e02672ac6e189c31f7d8c02ad543cd upstream. When building the overlapping groups, we very obviously should start with the previous domain of _this_ @cpu, not CPU-0. This can be readily demonstrated with a topology like: node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 20 30 20 1: 20 10 20 30 2: 30 20 10 20 3: 20 30 20 10 Where (for example) CPU1 ends up generating the following nonsensical groups: [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain: [] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA [] groups: 1 2 0 [] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA [] groups: 1-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0-1,3 (cpu_capacity = 3072) Where the fact that domain 1 doesn't include a group with span 0-2 is the obvious fail. With patch this looks like: [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain: [] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA [] groups: 1 0 2 [] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA [] groups: 0-2 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072) Debugged-by: Lauro Ramos Venancio <lvenanci@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e3589f6c81e4 ("sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans") Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: adjust filename] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
2017-07-18sched/loadavg: Avoid loadavg spikes caused by delayed NO_HZ accountingMatt Fleming
commit 6e5f32f7a43f45ee55c401c0b9585eb01f9629a8 upstream. If we crossed a sample window while in NO_HZ we will add LOAD_FREQ to the pending sample window time on exit, setting the next update not one window into the future, but two. This situation on exiting NO_HZ is described by: this_rq->calc_load_update < jiffies < calc_load_update In this scenario, what we should be doing is: this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update [ next window ] But what we actually do is: this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update + LOAD_FREQ [ next+1 window ] This has the effect of delaying load average updates for potentially up to ~9seconds. This can result in huge spikes in the load average values due to per-cpu uninterruptible task counts being out of sync when accumulated across all CPUs. It's safe to update the per-cpu active count if we wake between sample windows because any load that we left in 'calc_load_idle' will have been zero'd when the idle load was folded in calc_global_load(). This issue is easy to reproduce before, commit 9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking") just by forking short-lived process pipelines built from ps(1) and grep(1) in a loop. I'm unable to reproduce the spikes after that commit, but the bug still seems to be present from code review.

2016-11-20sched/core: Fix a race between try_to_wake_up() and a woken up taskBalbir Singh
commit 135e8c9250dd5c8c9aae5984fde6f230d0cbfeaf upstream. The origin of the issue I've seen is related to a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and the check for task->on_rq. The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule() and is doing the following: do { schedule() set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE); } while (!cond); The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in try_to_wake_up(): while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax(); Analysis: The instance I've seen involves the following race: CPU1 CPU2 while () { if (cond) break; do { schedule(); set_current_state(TASK_UN..) } while (!cond); wakeup_routine() spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process() } try_to_wake_up() set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); .. list_del(&waiter.list); CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs: CPU3 wakeup_routine() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) if (!list_empty) wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock) .. if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup()) .. while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax() .. CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately after CPU2, CPU3 got it. CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis, but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible (based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not done uder the pi_lock. The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely Reproduction of the issue: The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80 threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far. Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well. Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing bit in my theory. Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> [ Updated comment to clarify matching barriers.

2016-11-20sched/cputime: Fix prev steal time accouting during CPU hotplugWanpeng Li
commit 3d89e5478bf550a50c99e93adf659369798263b0 upstream. Commit: e9532e69b8d1 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug") ... set rq->prev_* to 0 after a CPU hotplug comes back, in order to fix the case where (after CPU hotplug) steal time is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time. However, this should never happen. Steal time was only smaller because of the KVM-specific bug fixed by the previous patch. Worse, the previous patch triggers a bug on CPU hot-unplug/plug operation: because rq->prev_steal_time is cleared, all of the CPU's past steal time will be accounted again on hot-plug. Since the root cause has been fixed, we can just revert commit e9532e69b8d1.

processing sysrq-w commit 57675cb976eff977aefb428e68e4e0236d48a9ff upstream. 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.

2016-08-22sched/loadavg: Fix loadavg artifacts on fully idle and on fully loaded systemsVik Heyndrickx
commit 20878232c52329f92423d27a60e48b6a6389e0dd upstream. Systems show a minimal load average of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 even when they have no load at all. Uptime and /proc/loadavg on all systems with kernels released during the last five years up until kernel version 4.6-rc5, show a 5- and 15-minute minimum loadavg of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. This should be 0.00 on idle systems, but the way the kernel calculates this value prevents it from getting lower than the mentioned values. Likewise but not as obviously noticeable, a fully loaded system with no processes waiting, shows a maximum 1/5/15 loadavg of 1.00, 0.99, 0.95 (multiplied by number of cores). Once the (old) load becomes 93 or higher, it mathematically can never get lower than 93, even when the active (load) remains 0 forever. This results in the strange 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 uptime values on idle systems. Note: 93/2048 = 0.0454..., which rounds up to 0.05. It is not correct to add a 0.5 rounding (=1024/2048) here, since the result from this function is fed back into the next iteration again, so the result of that +0.5 rounding value then gets multiplied by (2048-2037), and then rounded again, so there is a virtual "ghost" load created, next to the old and active load terms. By changing the way the internally kept value is rounded, that internal value equivalent now can reach 0.00 on idle, and 1.00 on full load. Upon increasing load, the internally kept load value is rounded up, when the load is decreasing, the load value is rounded down. The modified code was tested on nohz=off and nohz kernels. It was tested on vanilla kernel 4.6-rc5 and on centos 7.1 kernel 3.10.0-327. It was tested on single, dual, and octal cores system. It was tested on virtual hosts and bare hardware. No unwanted effects have been observed, and the problems that the patch intended to fix were indeed gone.

2016-05-01sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplugThomas Gleixner
commit e9532e69b8d1d1284e8ecf8d2586de34aec61244 upstream. On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the unsigned math: u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id()); steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time; So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat become stale. Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is 100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers. None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The prev_time values are still wrong. Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

2015-12-30sched/core: Clear the root_domain cpumasks in init_rootdomain()Xunlei Pang
commit 8295c69925ad53ec32ca54ac9fc194ff21bc40e2 upstream. root_domain::rto_mask allocated through alloc_cpumask_var() contains garbage data, this may cause problems. For instance, When doing pull_rt_task(), it may do useless iterations if rto_mask retains some extra garbage bits. Worse still, this violates the isolated domain rule for clustered scheduling using cpuset, because the tasks(with all the cpus allowed) belongs to one root domain can be pulled away into another root domain. The patch cleans the garbage by using zalloc_cpumask_var() instead of alloc_cpumask_var() for root_domain::rto_mask allocation, thereby addressing the issues. Do the same thing for root_domain's other cpumask memembers: dlo_mask, span, and online.

2015-11-17sched/core: Fix TASK_DEAD race in finish_task_switch()Peter Zijlstra
commit 95913d97914f44db2b81271c2e2ebd4d2ac2df83 upstream. So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 context_switch(A, B) ttwu(A) LOCK A->pi_lock A->on_cpu == 0 finish_task_switch(A) prev_state = A->state <-. WMB | A->on_cpu = 0; | UNLOCK rq0->lock | | context_switch(C, A) `-- A->state = TASK_DEAD prev_state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) context_switch(A, C) finish_task_switch(A) A->state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A->state on CPU0 to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A->state, which will then result in a double-drop and use-after-free. Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago) that we need to observe A->state while holding rq->lock because that will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact acquire (that) rq->lock; it takes A->pi_lock these days. We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is expensive, so we'd rather avoid that. The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&A->on_cpu, 0), which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

2015-05-09sched: Fix RLIMIT_RTTIME when PI-boosting to RTBrian Silverman
commit 746db9443ea57fd9c059f62c4bfbf41cf224fe13 upstream. When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

2015-05-09sched/autogroup: Fix failure to set cpu.rt_runtime_usPeter Zijlstra
commit 1fe89e1b6d270aa0d3452c60d38461ea589594e3 upstream. Because task_group() uses a cache of autogroup_task_group(), whose output depends on sched_class, switching classes can generate problems. In particular, when started as fair, the cache points to the autogroup, so when switching to RT the tg_rt_schedulable() test fails for every cpu.rt_{runtime,period}_us change because now the autogroup has tasks and no runtime. Furthermore, going back to the previous semantics of varying task_group() with sched_class has the down-side that the sched_debug output varies as well, even though the task really is in the autogroup. Therefore add an autogroup exception to tg_has_rt_tasks() -- such that both (all) task_group() usages in sched/core now have one. And remove all the remnants of the variable task_group() output.

2014-02-15sched: Unthrottle rt runqueues in __disable_runtime()Peter Boonstoppel
commit a4c96ae319b8047f62dedbe1eac79e321c185749 upstream. migrate_tasks() uses _pick_next_task_rt() to get tasks from the real-time runqueues to be migrated.

2012-10-10CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resumeSrivatsa S. Bhat
commit d35be8bab9b0ce44bed4b9453f86ebf64062721e upstream. In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations. However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to exactly the same state it was in before suspend. In order to achieve that, do the following: 1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all. In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the suspend/resume path. 2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.) 3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in before suspend. Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

commit bea6832cc8c4a0a9a65dd17da6aaa657fe27bc3e upstream. On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32 internally.

commit 5aaa0b7a2ed5b12692c9ffb5222182bd558d3146 upstream. Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the mostly idle case. Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[] array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit. So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

2012-08-02sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculationsPeter Zijlstra
commit 556061b00c9f2fd6a5524b6bde823ef12f299ecf upstream. While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed by a catchup of 2 ticks. The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to be. The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies. This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from the tick.

2011-11-14sched: Set the command name of the idle tasks in SMP kernelsCarsten Emde
In UP systems, the idle task is initialized using the init_task structure from which the command name is taken (currently "swapper"). In SMP systems, one idle task per CPU is forked by the worker thread from which the task structure is copied. The command name is, therefore, "kworker/0:0" or "kworker/0:1", if not updated. Since such update was lacking, all idle tasks in SMP systems were incorrectly named. This longtime bug was not discovered immediately, because there is no /proc/0 entry - the bug only becomes apparent when tracing is enabled. This patch sets the command name of the idle tasks in SMP systems to the name that is used in the INIT_TASK structure suffixed by a slash and the number of the CPU.

2011-10-06sched: Request for idle balance during nohz idle load balanceSuresh Siddha
rq's idle_at_tick is set to idle/busy during the timer tick depending on the cpu was idle or not. This will be used later in the load balance that will be done in the softirq context (which is a process context in -RT kernels). For nohz kernels, for the cpu doing nohz idle load balance on behalf of all the idle cpu's, its rq->idle_at_tick might have a stale value (which is recorded when it got the timer tick presumably when it is busy). As the nohz idle load balancing is also being done at the same place as the regular load balancing, nohz idle load balancing was bailing out when it sees rq's idle_at_tick not set. Thus leading to poor system utilization. Rename rq's idle_at_tick to idle_balance and set it when someone requests for nohz idle balance on an idle cpu.

2011-10-06sched: Use resched IPI to kick off the nohz idle balanceSuresh Siddha
Current use of smp call function to kick the nohz idle balance can deadlock in this scenario. 1. cpu-A did a generic_exec_single() to cpu-B and after queuing its call single data (csd) to the call single queue, cpu-A took a timer interrupt. Actual IPI to cpu-B to process the call single queue is not yet sent. 2. As part of the timer interrupt handler, cpu-A decided to kick cpu-B for the idle load balancing (sets cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick to 1) and __smp_call_function_single() with nowait will queue the csd to the cpu-B's queue. But the generic_exec_single() won't send an IPI to cpu-B as the call single queue was not empty. 3. cpu-A is busy with lot of interrupts 4. Meanwhile cpu-B is entering and exiting idle and noticed that it has it's rq->nohz_balance_kick set to '1'. So it will go ahead and do the idle load balancer and clear its rq->nohz_balance_kick. 5. At this point, csd queued as part of the step-2 above is still locked and waiting to be serviced on cpu-B. 6. cpu-A is still busy with interrupt load and now it got another timer interrupt and as part of it decided to kick cpu-B for another idle load balancing (as it finds cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick cleared in step-4 above) and does __smp_call_function_single() with the same csd that is still locked. 7. And we get a deadlock waiting for the csd_lock() in the __smp_call_function_single(). Main issue here is that cpu-B can service the idle load balancer kick request from cpu-A even with out receiving the IPI and this lead to doing multiple __smp_call_function_single() on the same csd leading to deadlock. To kick a cpu, scheduler already has the reschedule vector reserved. Use that mechanism (kick_process()) instead of using the generic smp call function mechanism to kick off the nohz idle load balancing and avoid the deadlock.

2011-10-04sched: Fix idle_cpu()Thomas Gleixner
On -rt we observed hackbench waking all 400 tasks to a single cpu. This is because of select_idle_sibling()'s interaction with the new ipi based wakeup scheme. The existing idle_cpu() test only checks to see if the current task on that cpu is the idle task, it does not take already queued tasks into account, nor does it take queued to be woken tasks into account. If the remote wakeup IPIs come hard enough, there won't be time to schedule away from the idle task, and would thus keep thinking the cpu was in fact idle, regardless of the fact that there were already several hundred tasks runnable. We couldn't reproduce on mainline, but there's no reason it couldn't happen.

2011-09-30posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobblesPeter Zijlstra
David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries). For example: [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404) thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739) self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698) [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'. I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements are the outer-most ones. --- #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> static pthread_barrier_t barrier; static void *chew_cpu(void *arg) { pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); while (1) __asm__ __volatile__("" : : : "memory"); return NULL; } int main(void) { clockid_t process_clock, my_thread_clock, th_clock; struct timespec process_before, process_after; struct timespec me_before, me_after; struct timespec th_before, th_after; struct timespec sleeptime; unsigned long diff; pthread_t th; int err; err = clock_getcpuclockid(0, &process_clock); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_self(), &my_thread_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_init(&barrier, NULL, 2); err = pthread_create(&th, NULL, chew_cpu, NULL); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(th, &th_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_before); if (err) return 1; sleeptime.tv_sec = 0; sleeptime.tv_nsec = 500000000; nanosleep(&sleeptime, NULL); err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_after); if (err) return 1; diff = process_after.tv_nsec - process_before.tv_nsec; printf("process: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", process_before.tv_sec, process_before.tv_nsec, process_after.tv_sec, process_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = th_after.tv_nsec - th_before.tv_nsec; printf("thread: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", th_before.tv_sec, th_before.tv_nsec, th_after.tv_sec, th_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = me_after.tv_nsec - me_before.tv_nsec; printf("self: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", me_before.tv_sec, me_before.tv_nsec, me_after.tv_sec, me_after.tv_nsec, diff); return 0; } This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

2011-09-28rcu: Restore checks for blocking in RCU read-side critical sectionsPaul E. McKenney
Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical section. However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats this diagnostic. This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic based on PROVE_RCU. Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious. This third argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert(). Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third argument. Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section. These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled. Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c. Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics. But you are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you? Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
