[Linux-stable-mirror] Patch "sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for suspending constrained dl tasks" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for suspending constrained dl tasks to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: sched-deadline-use-the-revised-wakeup-rule-for-suspending-constrained-dl-tasks.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 3effcb4247e74a51f5d8b775a1ee4abf87cc089a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot(a)redhat.com> Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 16:24:03 +0200 Subject: sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for suspending constrained dl tasks From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot(a)redhat.com> commit 3effcb4247e74a51f5d8b775a1ee4abf87cc089a upstream. We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not designed for such sort of tasks. One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation, the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation, and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks. Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which the external event source suffered from a clock drift. However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters: runtime = 5 ms deadline = 7 ms [density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71 period = 1000 ms If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms, it will be awakened with the following parameters: remaining runtime = 4 laxity = 5 presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80. In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run. The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run. Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed density. A revised version of the idea is: At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be higher than its relative density, that is: runtime / (deadline - t) <= dl_runtime / dl_deadline Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without over-running the allowed density: runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t) For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run: runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5 runtime = 3.57 ms Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch: df8eac8cafce ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline") Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline. Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions about pros and cons.

The INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_X hardcoded crystal_khz value of 25MHZ is problematic: - SKX workstations (with same model # as server variants) use a 24 MHz crystal. This results in a -4.0% time drift rate on SKX workstations. - SKX servers subject the crystal to an EMI reduction circuit that reduces its actual frequency by (approximately) -0.25%. This results in -1 second per 10 minute time drift as compared to network time. This issue can also trigger a timer and power problem, on configurations that use the LAPIC timer (versus the TSC deadline timer). Clock ticks scheduled with the LAPIC timer arrive a few usec before the time they are expected (according to the slow TSC). This causes Linux to poll-idle, when it should be in an idle power saving state. The idle and clock code do not graciously recover from this error, sometimes resulting in significant polling and measurable power impact. Stop using native_calibrate_tsc() for INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_X. native_calibrate_tsc() will return 0, boot will run with tsc_khz = cpu_khz, and the TSC refined calibration will update tsc_khz to correct for the difference.

[Linux-stable-mirror] Patch "x86/retpoline: Fill RSB on context switch for affected CPUs" has been added to the 4.9-stable tree

On context switch from a shallow call stack to a deeper one, as the CPU does 'ret' up the deeper side it may encounter RSB entries (predictions for where the 'ret' goes to) which were populated in userspace. This is problematic if neither SMEP nor KPTI (the latter of which marks userspace pages as NX for the kernel) are active, as malicious code in userspace may then be executed speculatively. Overwrite the CPU's return prediction stack with calls which are predicted to return to an infinite loop, to "capture" speculation if this happens. This is required both for retpoline, and also in conjunction with IBRS for !SMEP && !KPTI. On Skylake+ the problem is slightly different, and an *underflow* of the RSB may cause errant branch predictions to occur. So there it's not so much overwrite, as *filling* the RSB to attempt to prevent it getting empty. This is only a partial solution for Skylake+ since there are many other conditions which may result in the RSB becoming empty. The full solution on Skylake+ is to use IBRS, which will prevent the problem even when the RSB becomes empty. With IBRS, the RSB-stuffing will not be required on context switch.

[Linux-stable-mirror] Patch "x86/cpufeature: Move processor tracing out of scattered features" has been added to the 4.9-stable tree

Processor tracing is already enumerated in word 9 (CPUID[7,0].EBX), so do not duplicate it in the scattered features word. Besides being more tidy, this will be useful for KVM when it presents processor tracing to the guests. KVM selects host features that are supported by both the host kernel (depending on command line options, CPU errata, or whatever) and KVM. Whenever a full feature word exists, KVM's code is written in the expectation that the CPUID bit number matches the X86_FEATURE_* bit number, but this is not the case for X86_FEATURE_INTEL_PT.
