[PATCH v4 00/30] context_tracking,x86: Defer some IPIs until a user->kernel transition

by Valentin Schneider

Context ======= We've observed within Red Hat that isolated, NOHZ_FULL CPUs running a pure-userspace application get regularly interrupted by IPIs sent from housekeeping CPUs. Those IPIs are caused by activity on the housekeeping CPUs leading to various on_each_cpu() calls, e.g.: 64359.052209596 NetworkManager 0 1405 smp_call_function_many_cond (cpu=0, func=do_kernel_range_flush) smp_call_function_many_cond+0x1 smp_call_function+0x39 on_each_cpu+0x2a flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x7b __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x70 _vm_unmap_aliases.part.42+0xdf change_page_attr_set_clr+0x16a set_memory_ro+0x26 bpf_int_jit_compile+0x2f9 bpf_prog_select_runtime+0xc6 bpf_prepare_filter+0x523 sk_attach_filter+0x13 sock_setsockopt+0x92c __sys_setsockopt+0x16a __x64_sys_setsockopt+0x20 do_syscall_64+0x87 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x65 The heart of this series is the thought that while we cannot remove NOHZ_FULL CPUs from the list of CPUs targeted by these IPIs, they may not have to execute the callbacks immediately. Anything that only affects kernelspace can wait until the next user->kernel transition, providing it can be executed "early enough" in the entry code. The original implementation is from Peter [1]. Nicolas then added kernel TLB invalidation deferral to that [2], and I picked it up from there. Deferral approach ================= Storing each and every callback, like a secondary call_single_queue turned out to be a no-go: the whole point of deferral is to keep NOHZ_FULL CPUs in userspace for as long as possible - no signal of any form would be sent when deferring an IPI. This means that any form of queuing for deferred callbacks would end up as a convoluted memory leak. Deferred IPIs must thus be coalesced, which this series achieves by assigning IPIs a "type" and having a mapping of IPI type to callback, leveraged upon kernel entry. What about IPIs whose callback take a parameter, you may ask? Peter suggested during OSPM23 [3] that since on_each_cpu() targets housekeeping CPUs *and* isolated CPUs, isolated CPUs can access either global or housekeeping-CPU-local state to "reconstruct" the data that would have been sent via the IPI. This series does not affect any IPI callback that requires an argument, but the approach would remain the same (one coalescable callback executed on kernel entry). Kernel entry vs execution of the deferred operation =================================================== This is what I've referred to as the "Danger Zone" during my LPC24 talk [4]. There is a non-zero length of code that is executed upon kernel entry before the deferred operation can be itself executed (i.e. before we start getting into context_tracking.c proper), i.e.: idtentry_func_foo() <--- we're in the kernel irqentry_enter() enter_from_user_mode() __ct_user_exit() ct_kernel_enter_state() ct_work_flush() <--- deferred operation is executed here This means one must take extra care to what can happen in the early entry code, and that <bad things> cannot happen. For instance, we really don't want to hit instructions that have been modified by a remote text_poke() while we're on our way to execute a deferred sync_core(). Patches doing the actual deferral have more detail on this. Patches ======= o Patches 1-2 are standalone objtool cleanups. o Patches 3-4 add an RCU testing feature. o Patches 5-6 add infrastructure for annotating static keys and static calls that may be used in noinstr code (courtesy of Josh). o Patches 7-19 use said annotations on relevant keys / calls. o Patch 20 enforces proper usage of said annotations (courtesy of Josh). o Patches 21-23 fiddle with CT_STATE* within context tracking o Patches 24-29 add the actual IPI deferral faff o Patch 30 adds a freebie: deferring IPIs for NOHZ_IDLE. Not tested that much! if you care about battery-powered devices and energy consumption, go give it a try! Patches are also available at: https://gitlab.com/vschneid/linux.git -b redhat/isolirq/defer/v4 Stuff I'd like eyes and neurons on ================================== Context-tracking vs idle. Patch 22 "improves" the situation by adding an IDLE->KERNEL transition when getting an IRQ while idle, but it leaves the following window: ~> IRQ ct_nmi_enter() state = state + CT_STATE_KERNEL - CT_STATE_IDLE [...] ct_nmi_exit() state = state - CT_STATE_KERNEL + CT_STATE_IDLE [...] /!\ CT_STATE_IDLE here while we're really in kernelspace! /!\ ct_cpuidle_exit() state = state + CT_STATE_KERNEL - CT_STATE_IDLE Said window is contained within cpu_idle_poll() and the cpuidle call within cpuidle_enter_state(), both being noinstr (the former is __cpuidle which is noinstr itself). Thus objtool will consider it as early entry and will warn accordingly of any static key / call misuse, so the damage is somewhat contained, but it's not ideal. I tried fiddling with this but idle polling likes being annoying, as it is shaped like so: ct_cpuidle_enter(); raw_local_irq_enable(); while (!tif_need_resched() && (cpu_idle_force_poll || tick_check_broadcast_expired())) cpu_relax(); raw_local_irq_disable(); ct_cpuidle_exit(); IOW, getting an IRQ that doesn't end up setting NEED_RESCHED while idle-polling doesn't come near ct_cpuidle_exit(), which prevents me from having the outermost ct_nmi_exit() leave the state as CT_STATE_KERNEL (rather than CT_STATE_IDLE). Testing ======= Xeon E5-2699 system with SMToff, NOHZ_FULL, isolated CPUs. RHEL9 userspace. Workload is using rteval (kernel compilation + hackbench) on housekeeping CPUs and a dummy stay-in-userspace loop on the isolated CPUs. The main invocation is: $ trace-cmd record -e "csd_queue_cpu" -f "cpu & CPUS{$ISOL_CPUS}" \ -e "ipi_send_cpumask" -f "cpumask & CPUS{$ISOL_CPUS}" \ -e "ipi_send_cpu" -f "cpu & CPUS{$ISOL_CPUS}" \ rteval --onlyload --loads-cpulist=$HK_CPUS \ --hackbench-runlowmem=True --duration=$DURATION This only records IPIs sent to isolated CPUs, so any event there is interference (with a bit of fuzz at the start/end of the workload when spawning the processes). All tests were done with a duration of 6 hours. v6.13-rc6 # This is the actual IPI count $ trace-cmd report | grep callback | awk '{ print $(NF) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr 531 callback=generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x0 # These are the different CSD's that caused IPIs $ trace-cmd report | grep csd_queue | awk '{ print $(NF-1) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr 12818 func=do_flush_tlb_all 910 func=do_kernel_range_flush 78 func=do_sync_core v6.13-rc6 + patches: # This is the actual IPI count $ trace-cmd report | grep callback | awk '{ print $(NF) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr # Zilch! # These are the different CSD's that caused IPIs $ trace-cmd report | grep csd_queue | awk '{ print $(NF-1) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr # Nada! Note that tlb_remove_table_smp_sync() showed up during testing of v3, and has gone as mysteriously as it showed up. Yair had a series adressing this [5] which would be worth revisiting.

[PATCH v10 net-next 0/5] DUALPI2 patch

by chia-yu.chang＠nokia-bell-labs.com

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang(a)nokia-bell-labs.com> Hello, Please find DUALPI2 patch v10. v10 - Remove leftover include in include/linux/netdevice.h and anonimous struct in sch_dualpi2.c (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) - Use kfree_skb_reason() and add SKB_DROP_REASON_DUALPI2_STEP_DROP drop reason (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) - Split DualPI2 patch into 3 patches: Struct definition & parsing, Dump statstics & configuration, Enqueue/Dequeue (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) v9 - Fix mem_usage error in previous version - Add min_qlen_step to dualpi2 attribute as the minimum queue length in number of packets in the L-queue to start step threshold marking. In previous versions, this value was fixed to 2, so only when the queue length of the L queue was greater or equal to 2 packets step threshold was applied to mark packets in the L-queue. This will cause larger queuing delays for L4S traffic at low rates (<20Mbps). So we parameterize it and change the default value to 0.

[PATCH v5 0/6] rust: reduce pointer casts, enable related lints

by Tamir Duberstein

This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3 lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other pointer casts weren't missed. The first commit reduces the need for pointer casts and is shared with another series[1]. The final patch also enables pointer provenance lints and fixes violations. See that commit message for details. The build system portion of that commit is pretty messy but I couldn't find a better way to convincingly ensure that these lints were applied globally. Suggestions would be very welcome.

[PATCH] firmware: cs_dsp: Ensure cs_dsp_load[_coeff]() returns 0 on success

by Richard Fitzgerald

Set ret = 0 on successful completion of the processing loop in cs_dsp_load() and cs_dsp_load_coeff() to ensure that the function returns 0 on success. All normal firmware files will have at least one data block, and processing this block will set ret == 0, from the result of either regmap_raw_write() or cs_dsp_parse_coeff(). The kunit tests create a dummy firmware file that contains only the header, without any data blocks. This gives cs_dsp a file to "load" that will not cause any side-effects. As there aren't any data blocks, the processing loop will not set ret == 0. Originally there was a line after the processing loop: ret = regmap_async_complete(regmap); which would set ret == 0 before the function returned. Commit fe08b7d5085a ("firmware: cs_dsp: Remove async regmap writes") changed the regmap write to a normal sync write, so the call to regmap_async_complete() wasn't necessary and was removed. It was overlooked that the ret here wasn't only to check the result of regmap_async_complete(), it also set the final return value of the function.
