2013-02-21smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to ↵Shaohua Li
smp_call_function_single() I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page, page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily. Without patch, perf shows: + 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt - 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 79.80% __page_check_address + 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt + 3.31% get_swap_page + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.75% handle_pte_fault + 1.54% put_super + 1.41% grab_super_passive + 1.36% __swap_duplicate + 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.62% swap_info_get + 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func + 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many + 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt + 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 2.18% [k] find_next_bit swapout throughput is around 1300M/s. With the patch, perf shows: - 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 80.53% __page_check_address + 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt + 2.44% get_swap_page + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.40% handle_pte_fault + 1.15% __swap_duplicate + 1.05% put_super + 0.98% grab_super_passive + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.57% swap_info_get + 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt + 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many + 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func + 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7% improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change. Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs. generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend. Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch code.

2012-03-28smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter funcGilad Ben-Yossef
Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu. The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time via smp_call_function_single(). The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling failures etc. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/gfpflags/gfp_flags/] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid double-evaluation of `info' (per Michal), parenthesise evaluation of `cond_func'] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/CPU/CPUs, use all 80 cols in comment] Signed-off-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.org> Cc: Kosaki Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Reviewed-by: "Srivatsa S.

2012-03-28smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() functionGilad Ben-Yossef
We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task: cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter. Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system. This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code paths. This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond() infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI invocation to per CPU group invocations. Core kernel: on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask, which may or may not include the local processor. You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. arch/arm: Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one: 1. It has the mask as first parameter 2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled, but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs with interrupts disabled anyway. arch/tile: The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs with interrupts disabled.

2011-06-17generic-ipi: Fix kexec boot crash by initializing call_single_queue before ↵Takao Indoh
enabling interrupts There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI comes before call_single_queue is initialized. To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be initialized before enabling interrupts. The details of the crash are: (1) 2nd kernel boots up (2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled in start_kernel(). (3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access &q->list.next. Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable() in start_kernel().

2009-06-16remove put_cpu_no_resched()Thomas Gleixner
put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately can cause high latencies. The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ. The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule. Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

Impact: Implementation change to remove cpumask_t from stack. Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many(). We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version. (S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently). We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp cpumask. It's still fairly cheap. We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on stack).

2008-12-19cpumask: add sysfs displays for configured and disabled cpu mapsMike Travis
Impact: add new sysfs files. Add sysfs files "kernel_max" and "offline" to display the max CPU index allowed (NR_CPUS-1), and the map of cpus that are offline. Cpus can be offlined via HOTPLUG, disabled by the BIOS ACPI tables, or if they exceed the number of cpus allowed by the NR_CPUS config option, or the "maxcpus=NUM" kernel start parameter. The "possible_cpus=NUM" parameter can also extend the number of possible cpus allowed, in which case the cpus not present at startup will be in the offline state. (These cpus can be HOTPLUGGED ON after system startup [pending a follow-on patch to provide the capability via the /sys/devices/sys/cpu/cpuN/online mechanism to bring them online.]) By design, the "offlined cpus > possible cpus" display will always use the following formats: * all possible cpus online: "x$" or "x-y$" * some possible cpus offline: ".*,x$" or ".*,x-y$" where: x == number of possible cpus (nr_cpu_ids); and y == number of cpus >= NR_CPUS or maxcpus (if y > x). One use of this feature is for distros to select (or configure) the appropriate kernel to install for the resident system. Notes: * cpus offlined <= possible cpus will be printed for all architectures. * cpus offlined > possible cpus will only be printed for arches that set 'total_cpus' [X86 only in this patch].

2008-11-06cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anythingRusty Russell
Impact: introduce new APIs We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack. 1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies. (cpus_* -> cpumask_*) 2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and) 3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var) 4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code. 5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant), not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations in future. 6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask' definition eventually. 7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old cpumask for current thread and manipulating it. 8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except taking a cpumask pointer. Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition patches.

2008-06-26Add generic helpers for arch IPI function callsJens Axboe
This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single() for calling a given function on a single CPU only. The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for reviewing RCU usage and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.

2008-01-30x86: optimize lock prefix switching to run less frequentlyAndi Kleen
On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and retranslate a lot of code. Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel on UP. This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow! Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline. v1->v2: Rename max_cpus v1->v2: Fix off by one in UP check (Thomas Gleixner) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2007-05-09Remove hardcoding of hard_smp_processor_id on UP systemsFernando Luis Vazquez Cao
With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU. Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each architecture can provide its own implementation.

2006-06-30[PATCH] add smp_setup_processor_id()Andrew Morton
Presently, smp_processor_id() isn't necessarily set up until setup_arch(). But it's used in boot_cpu_init() and printk() and perhaps in other places, prior to setup_arch() being called. So provide a new smp_setup_processor_id() which is called before anything else, wire it up for Voyager (which boots on a CPU other than #0, and broke).

2006-03-22[PATCH] on_each_cpu(): disable local interruptsAndrew Morton
When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local interrupts disabled. So we should run the function with local interrupts disabled on this CPU, too. And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both UP and SMP. (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent). Also uninlines on_each_cpu(). softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file. Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function(). It drives me nuts. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-07-28Revert broken "statement with no effect" warning fixLinus Torvalds
It may shut up gcc, but it also incorrectly changes the semantics of the smp_call_function() helpers. You can fix the warning other ways if you are interested (create another inline function that takes no arguments and returns zero), but preferably gcc just shouldn't complain about unused return values from statement expressions in the first place.
2005-07-28[PATCH] alpha: fix "statement with no effect" warningsRichard Henderson
Apparently gcc 4.0 complains about "({ 0; });", which leads to -Werror breakage in one of the alpha oprofile modules. One might could argue that this is a gcc bug, in that statement-expressions should be considered to be function-like rather than statement-like for the purposes of this warning. But it's just as easy to use an inline function in the first place, side-stepping the issue. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
