From a8d154b009168337494fbf345671bab74d3e4b8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 09:36:00 -0400 Subject: tracing: create automated trace defines This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point. This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name). Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/.h file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including of that file. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code necessary to implement the trace point. Note, if more than one trace/.h is used to create the C code it is best to list them all together. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include #include #include Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first design to have the C code include a "special" header. This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new method.

In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes". Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.] Signed-off-by: Miao Xie Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Paul Menage Cc: Nick Piggin Cc: Yasunori Goto Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/kthread.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/kthread.c') diff --git a/kernel/kthread.c b/kernel/kthread.c index 41c88fe40500..7fa441333529 100644 --- a/kernel/kthread.c +++ b/kernel/kthread.c @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include #include @@ -236,6 +237,7 @@ int kthreadd(void *unused) ignore_signals(tsk); set_user_nice(tsk, KTHREAD_NICE_LEVEL); set_cpus_allowed_ptr(tsk, cpu_all_mask); + set_mems_allowed(node_possible_map); current->flags |= PF_NOFREEZE | PF_FREEZER_NOSIG; -- cgit v1.2.3 From cdd140bdd6c7bc6395f08877a73c39941501af93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:27:43 -0700 Subject: kthreads: simplify the startup synchronization We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly. kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread() wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself can wake up the caller of kthread_create(). Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code. The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread() must do complete(&create->done).

With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted. ->vfork_done is used as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily wait for kthread's exit.
