Currently, the code to attach a new worker to its pool is embedded in
create_worker(). Separating this code out will make the codes clearer
and will allow rescuers to share the code path later.

manager_mutex is only used to protect the attaching for the pool
and the pool->workers list. It protects the pool->workers and operations
based on this list, such as:
cpu-binding for the workers in the pool->workers
the operations to set/clear WORKER_UNBOUND
So let's rename manager_mutex to attach_mutex to better reflect its
role. This patch is a pure rename.

In create_worker(), as pool->worker_ida now uses
ida_simple_get()/ida_simple_put() and doesn't require external
synchronization, it doesn't need manager_mutex.
struct worker allocation and kthread allocation are not visible by any
one before attached, so they don't need manager_mutex either.
The above operations are before the attaching operation which attaches
the worker to the pool. Between attaching and starting the worker, the
worker is already attached to the pool, so the cpu hotplug will handle
cpu-binding for the worker correctly and we don't need the
manager_mutex after attaching.
The conclusion is that only the attaching operation needs manager_mutex,
so we narrow the protection section of manager_mutex in create_worker().
Some comments about manager_mutex are removed, because we will rename
it to attach_mutex and add worker_attach_to_pool() later which will be
self-explanatory.

We no longer iterate workers via worker_idr and worker_idr is used
only for allocating/freeing ID, so we can convert it to worker_ida.
By using ida_simple_get/remove(), worker_ida doesn't require external
synchronization, so we don't need manager_mutex to protect it and the
ID-removal code is allowed to be moved out from
worker_detach_from_pool().
In a later patch, worker_detach_from_pool() will be used in rescuers
which don't have IDs, so we move the ID-removal code out from
worker_detach_from_pool() into worker_thread().

worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and
worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We
can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and
iteration.
Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to
worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically
because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer
can't depend on.
After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for
iteration without any memory-allocation. It is required when we attach
the rescuer worker to the pool in later patch.

Since destroy_worker() doesn't need to sleep nor require manager_mutex,
destroy_worker() can be directly called in the idle timeout
handler, it helps us remove POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS and
maybe_destroy_worker() and simplify the manage_workers()
After POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS is removed, worker_thread() doesn't
need to test whether it needs to manage after processed works.
So we can remove the test branch.

worker destruction includes these parts of code:
adjust pool's stats
remove the worker from idle list
detach the worker from the pool
kthread_stop() to wait for the worker's task exit
free the worker struct
We can find out that there is no essential work to do after
kthread_stop(), which means destroy_worker() doesn't need to wait for
the worker's task exit, so we can remove kthread_stop() and free the
worker struct in the worker exiting path.
However, put_unbound_pool() still needs to sync the all the workers'
destruction before destroying the pool; otherwise, the workers may
access to the invalid pool when they are exiting.
So we also move the code of "detach the worker" to the exiting
path and let put_unbound_pool() to sync with this code via
detach_completion.
The code of "detach the worker" is wrapped in a new function
"worker_detach_from_pool()" although worker_detach_from_pool() is only
called once (in worker_thread()) after this patch, but we need to wrap
it for these reasons:
1) The code of "detach the worker" is not short enough to unfold them
in worker_thread().
2) the name of "worker_detach_from_pool()" is self-comment, and we add
some comments above the function.
3) it will be shared by rescuer in later patch which allows rescuer
and normal thread use the same attach/detach frameworks.
The worker id is freed when detaching which happens before the worker
is fully dead, but this id of the dying worker may be re-used for a
new worker, so the dying worker's task name is changed to
"worker/dying" to avoid two or several workers having the same name.
Since "detach the worker" is moved out from destroy_worker(),
destroy_worker() doesn't require manager_mutex, so the
"lockdep_assert_held(&pool->manager_mutex)" in destroy_worker() is
removed, and destroy_worker() is not protected by manager_mutex in
put_unbound_pool().

We used to have the CPU online failure path where a worker is created
and then destroyed without being started. A worker was created for
the CPU coming online and if the online operation failed the created worker
was shut down without being started. But this behavior was changed.
The first worker is created and started at the same time for the CPU coming
online.
It means that we had already ensured in the code that destroy_worker()
destroys only idle workers and we don't want to allow it to destroy
any non-idle worker in the future. Otherwise, it may be buggy and it
may be extremely hard to check. We should force destroy_worker() to
destroy only idle workers explicitly.
Since destroy_worker() destroys only idle workers, this patch does not
change any functionality. We just need to update the comments and the
sanity check code.
In the sanity check code, we will refuse to destroy the worker
if !(worker->flags & WORKER_IDLE).
If the worker entered idle which means it is already started,
so we remove the check of "worker->flags & WORKER_STARTED",
after this removal, WORKER_STARTED is totally unneeded,
so we remove WORKER_STARTED too.
In the comments for create_worker(), "Create a new worker which is bound..."
is changed to "... which is attached..." due to we change the name of this
behavior to attaching.

After a @pwq is scheduled for emergency execution, other workers may
consume the affectd work items before the rescuer gets to them. This
means that a workqueue many have pwqs queued on @wq->maydays list
while not having any work item pending or in-flight. If
destroy_workqueue() executes in such condition, the rescuer may exit
without emptying @wq->maydays.
This currently doesn't cause any actual harm. destroy_workqueue() can
safely destroy all the involved data structures whether @wq->maydays
is populated or not as nobody access the list once the rescuer exits.
However, this is nasty and makes future development difficult. Let's
update rescuer_thread() so that it empties @wq->maydays after seeing
should_stop to guarantee that the list is empty on rescuer exit.

wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path has the following two bugs.
- alloc_unbound_pwq() is called without holding wq->mutex; however, if
the allocation fails, it jumps to out_unlock which tries to unlock
wq->mutex.
- The function should switch to dfl_pwq on failure but didn't do so
after alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.
Fix it by regrabbing wq->mutex and jumping to use_dfl_pwq on
alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.

"pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP)
occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up.
Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition.
Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex,
which calls:
futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..)
This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and
tries to wake up another thread:
futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1)
If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are
requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up"
The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that
the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock
(because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the
"requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even
thought about that case.
This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target
hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks. It
then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that
actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional
required waiter count housekeeping.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.
From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

As sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec is unsigned long, when this value is
larger then LONG_MAX/HZ, the function schedule_timeout_interruptible in
watchdog will return immediately without sleep and with print :
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83
and then the funtion watchdog will call schedule_timeout_interruptible
again and again. The screen will be filled with
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83"
This patch does some check and correction in sysctl, to let the function
schedule_timeout_interruptible allways get the valid parameter.

Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue.
However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false)
always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or
WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case.
Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the
"if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block. ->notask_error is cleared by the
"fall through" code below.
This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be
avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent.
Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child
is already dead (single-threaded or not). If it is traced by another task
then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a
zombie state.
Stupid test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader
raise(SIGSTOP);
exit(0x13);
return NULL;
}
int run_child(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
if (!fork()) {
int tracee = getppid();
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0);
do
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0);
while (wait(NULL) > 0);
return 0;
}
sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH
assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main(void)
{
int child, stat;
child = fork();
if (!child)
return run_child();
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED));
assert(stat == 0x137f);
kill(child, SIGCONT);
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED));
assert(stat == 0xffff);
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(stat == 0x1300);
return 0;
}
Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is
never called.
Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(),
WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right. debugger can't assume it
will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task()
is very wrong. Trivial test-case:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <assert.h>
int main(void)
{
int child = fork();
if (!child) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
return 0x23;
}
assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0);
assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1);
return 0;
}
it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie
child. This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and
cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify
us.
Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the
child is traced by us. This really simplifies the logic and allows us to
do more fixes, see the next changes. This also hides the unwanted group
stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check.
Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes:
1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap
a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread.
Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think
that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway.
2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if
it is real parent.
While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good
by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by
another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace,
it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent.
Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before
wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on
ptrace_reparented().

wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if
ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not
need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we
also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task().
Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with
ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.

wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent.
The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d25748
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE
race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.
And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So
the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable. This was fixed by
the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack.
1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the
traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural
parent.
This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we
can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still
reports "X (dead)" in this case.
Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z
transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix.
2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD
if we need to notify the ->real_parent.
3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD
is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task.
4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill
the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case.
If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the
owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can
pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list.
Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error,
we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and
notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace"
even if the task was already untraced.

The process events connector delivers a notification when a process
exits. This is really convenient for a process that spawns and wants to
monitor its children through an epoll-able() interface.
Unfortunately, there is a small window between when the event is
delivered and the child become wait()-able.
This is creates a race if the parent wants to make sure that it knows
about the exit, e.g
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid > 0) {
register_interest_for_pid(pid);
if (waitpid(pid, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0)
{
/* We might have raced with exit() */
}
return;
}
/* Child */
execve(...)
register_interest_for_pid() would be telling the the connector socket
reader to pay attention to events related to pid.
Though this is not a bug, I think it would make the connector a bit more
usable if this race was closed by simply moving the call to
proc_exit_connector() from just before exit_notify() to right after.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.
We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.
The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 |
| patched | 88.09% | 9.31 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 |
| patched | 91.15% | 12.57 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 |
| patched | 99.97% | 14.18 |

The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document it
and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers and
converts them to using the new method.

Pull CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat
(with a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple
subsystems that use CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to
register them that will not lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline
operations as described in the changelog of commit 93ae4f978c ("CPU
hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration
functions").
The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document
it and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers
and converts them to using the new method"

While converting cgroup to kernfs, 2bd59d48eb ("cgroup: convert to
kernfs") accidentally dropped the logic which makes newly created
cgroup dirs and files owned by the current uid / gid. This broke
cases where cgroup subtree management is delegated to !root as the sub
manager wouldn't be able to create more than single level of hierarchy
or put tasks into child cgroups it created.
Among other things, this breaks user session management in systemd and
one of the symptoms was 90s hang during shutdown. User session
systemd running as the user creates a sub-service to initiate shutdown
and tries to put kill(1) into it but fails because cgroup.procs is
owned by root. This leads to 90s hang during shutdown.
Implement cgroup_kn_set_ugid() which sets a kn's uid and gid to those
of the caller and use it from file and dir creation paths.

This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.
Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":
"[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
be removed in the 2.5 development series".
We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.

a staging driver; fix included. Greg KH said he'd take the patch
but hadn't as the merge window opened, so it's included here
to avoid breaking build.
Cheers,
Rusty.
