e98bf5cedf The changes to the common clock framework for 4.0 are mostly new clock
drivers and updates to existing ones for feature enhancements and bug
 fixes. There is more churn than usual in the framework core due to the
 change to introduce per-user unique struct clk pointers in 4.0. This
 caused several regressions to surface, some of which were sent as fixes
 to 4.0. New generic clock drivers were added for GPIO- and PWM-based
 clock controllers. Additionally the common clk-divider code recieved
 several fixes to the way it rounds rates.

eeee78cf77 Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
 
 Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
 __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
 displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
 TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that
 user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data
 and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
 macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
 much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
 because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values
 by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the
 format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
 
 The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings
 in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is
 shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently
 has this in its format file:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
         { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
         { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
         { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })
 
 After adding:
 
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);
 
 Its format file will contain this:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { 0, "flush on task switch" },
         { 1, "remote shootdown" },
         { 2, "local shootdown" },
         { 3, "local mm shootdown" })

9fdd8a875c tracing, mm: Record pfn instead of pointer to struct page
The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save
pfn in order to identify page frames.

The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and
only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent,
userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd)
can parse the format easily.  So impact on the userspace will also be
minimal.

f0a91b3caa irq/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space
The enums used by the softirq mapping is what is shown in the output
of the __print_symbolic() and not their values, that are needed
to map them to their strings. Export them to userspace with the
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro so that user space tools can map the enums
with their values.

5511b9a471 f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace
The tracepoints that use __print_symbolic() use enums as the value
to convert to strings. Unfortunately, the format files for these
tracepoints show the enum name and not their value. This causes some
userspace tools not to know how to convert __print_symbolic() to
their strings.

Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macros to export the enums used to userspace
to let those tools know what those enum values are.

0c564a538a tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values
Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or
__print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the
binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading
the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools
such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a
human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not
have access to what the ENUM is.

For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has:

 __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
    { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
    { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
    { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
    { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and
trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would
not be able to map it.

With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header
files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values:

By adding:

 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

 $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format
[...]
 __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
    { 0, "flush on task switch" },
    { 1, "remote shootdown" },
    { 2, "local shootdown" },
    { 3, "local mm shootdown" })

The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to
be modified to parse them.

acd388fd3a tracing: Give system name a pointer
Normally the compiler will use the same pointer for a string throughout
the file. But there's no guarantee of that happening. Later changes will
require that all events have the same pointer to the system string.

Name the system string and have all events point to it.

Testing this, it did not increases the size of the text, except for the
notes section, which should not harm the real size any.

The tracing events for regmap are confined to the regmap subsystem. It
also requires accessing an internal header. Instead of including the
internal header from a generic file location, move the tracing file
into the regmap directory.

Also rename the regmap tracing header to trace.h, as it is redundant to
keep the regmap.h name when it is in the regmap directory.

c6b570d97c regmap: introduce regmap_name to fix syscon regmap trace events
This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference when enabling regmap event
tracing in the presence of a syscon regmap, introduced by commit bdb0066df9
("mfd: syscon: Decouple syscon interface from platform devices").
That patch introduced syscon regmaps that have their dev field set to NULL.
The regmap trace events expect it to point to a valid struct device and feed
it to dev_name():

b9085bcbf5 Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
 instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
 This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
 or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
 but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.
 
 ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
 tracking
 
 s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
 exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
 it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
 
 MIPS: Bugfixes.
 
 x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
 Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
 improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
 fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
 timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
 
 Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
 have already included his tree.
 
 ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
 by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
 within KVM.

     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

  o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()
 
  o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways to

    a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer will
    see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep. The sched
    event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up again.
    It would see that there was still not a full page, and go back to sleep
    again, and that would wake it up again, until finally it would see a
    full page. This change has been marked for stable.

99592d598e mm: when stealing freepages, also take pages created by splitting buddy page
When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in
try_to_steal_freepages().  The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the
following two patches were driven by evaluation.

Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how
often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what
migratetypes are used for fallbacks.  Arguably, the worst case of page
stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock.
RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal,
so the goal is to minimize these two cases.

The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the
results.  Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction
improvements from [1].  I found that the compaction improvements reduce
variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data.

First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction,
and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test.  First
column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without
reboot.  That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark
was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

In v2 we've seen apparent regression with Patch 1 for unmovable events,
this is now gone, suggesting it was indeed noise.  Here, each patch
improves the situation for unmovable events.  Reclaimable is improved by
patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse -
a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO.  The number of movable
allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's
reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless.  These are least critical as
compaction can move them around.

If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

While there's no improvement here, I consider reduced fragmentation events
to be worth on its own.  Patch 2 also seems to reduce scanning for free
pages, and migrations in compaction, suggesting it has somewhat less work

As with v2, /proc/pagetypeinfo appears unaffected with respect to numbers
of unmovable and reclaimable pageblocks.

Configuring the benchmark to allocate like THP page fault (i.e.  no sync
compaction) gives much noisier results for iterations 2 and 3 after
reboot.  This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements
in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which
would change compaction pivot.

The improvements for first iteration are clear, the rest is much noisier
and can appear like regression for Patch 1.  Anyway, patch 2 rectifies it.

Allocation success rates are again unaffected so there's no point in
making this e-mail any longer.

[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142166196321125&w=2

This patch (of 3):

When __rmqueue_fallback() is called to allocate a page of order X, it will
find a page of order Y >= X of a fallback migratetype, which is different
from the desired migratetype.  With the help of try_to_steal_freepages(),
it may change the migratetype (to the desired one) also of:

1) all currently free pages in the pageblock containing the fallback page
2) the fallback pageblock itself
3) buddy pages created by splitting the fallback page (when Y > X)

These decisions take the order Y into account, as well as the desired
migratetype, with the goal of preventing multiple fallback allocations
that could e.g.  distribute UNMOVABLE allocations among multiple
pageblocks.

Originally, decision for 1) has implied the decision for 3).  Commit
47118af076 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") changed that
(probably unintentionally) so that the buddy pages in case 3) are always
changed to the desired migratetype, except for CMA pageblocks.

Commit fef903efcf ("mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code
and fix a bug") did some refactoring and added a comment that the case of
3) is intended.  Commit 0cbef29a78 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should
respect pageblock type") removed the comment and tried to restore the
original behavior where 1) implies 3), but due to the previous
refactoring, the result is instead that only 2) implies 3) - and the
conditions for 2) are less frequently met than conditions for 1).  This
may increase fragmentation in situations where the code decides to steal
all free pages from the pageblock (case 1)), but then gives back the buddy
pages produced by splitting.

This patch restores the original intended logic where 1) implies 3).
During testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has shown to
decrease the number of events where UNMOVABLE and RECLAIMABLE allocations
steal from MOVABLE pageblocks, which can lead to permanent fragmentation.
In some cases it has increased the number of events when MOVABLE
allocations steal from UNMOVABLE or RECLAIMABLE pageblocks, but these are
fixable by sync compaction and thus less harmful.

Note that evaluation has shown that the behavior introduced by
47118af076 for buddy pages in case 3) is actually even better than the
original logic, so the following patch will introduce it properly once
again.  For stable backports of this patch it makes thus sense to only fix
versions containing 0cbef29a78.

24e2716f63 mm/compaction: add tracepoint to observe behaviour of compaction defer
Compaction deferring logic is heavy hammer that block the way to the
compaction.  It doesn't consider overall system state, so it could prevent
user from doing compaction falsely.  In other words, even if system has
enough range of memory to compact, compaction would be skipped due to
compaction deferring logic.  This patch add new tracepoint to understand
work of deferring logic.  This will also help to check compaction success
and fail.

e34d85f0e3 mm/compaction: print current range where compaction work
It'd be useful to know current range where compaction work for detailed
analysis.  With it, we can know pageblock where we actually scan and
isolate, and, how much pages we try in that pageblock and can guess why it
doesn't become freepage with pageblock order roughly.

16c4a097a0 mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end
We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start
position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction
doesn't print finish position of both scanners.  It'd be also useful to
know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it.  It will help
to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic.

And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to
mode, compaction behavior is quite different.

And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number
for readability.

4645f06334 mm/compaction: change tracepoint format from decimal to hexadecimal
To check the range that compaction is working, tracepoint print
start/end pfn of zone and start pfn of both scanner with decimal format.
Since we manage all pages in order of 2 and it is well represented by
hexadecimal, this patch change the tracepoint format from decimal to
hexadecimal.  This would improve readability.  For example, it makes us
easily notice whether current scanner try to compact previously
attempted pageblock or not.

119ee91445 f2fs: split UMOUNT and FASTBOOT flags
This patch adds FASTBOOT flag into checkpoint as follows.

 - CP_UMOUNT_FLAG is set when system is umounted.
 - CP_FASTBOOT_FLAG is set when intermediate checkpoint having node summaries
   was done.

So, if you get CP_UMOUNT_FLAG from checkpoint, the system was umounted cleanly.
Instead, if there was sudden-power-off, you can get CP_FASTBOOT_FLAG or nothing.

caf0047e7e f2fs: merge flags in struct f2fs_sb_info
Currently, there are several variables with Boolean type as below:

struct f2fs_sb_info {
...
	int s_dirty;
	bool need_fsck;
	bool s_closing;
...
	bool por_doing;
...
}

For this there are some issues:
1. there are some space of f2fs_sb_info is wasted due to aligning after Boolean
   type variables by compiler.
2. if we continuously add new flag into f2fs_sb_info, structure will be messed
   up.

So in this patch, we try to:
1. switch s_dirty to Boolean type variable since it has two status 0/1.
2. merge s_dirty/need_fsck/s_closing/por_doing variables into s_flag.
3. introduce an enum type which can indicate different states of sbi.
4. use new introduced universal interfaces is_sbi_flag_set/{set,clear}_sbi_flag
   to operate flags for sbi.

After that, above issues will be fixed.

4e02370f64 During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that pointed
out a real bug. During suspend and resume the tlb_flush tracepoint is
 called when the CPU is going offline. As the CPU has been noted as offline,
 RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it can not use RCU protected
 locks. When tracepoints are activated, they require RCU locking, and
 if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a tracepoint, there is a chance that
 the tracepoint could cause corruption.
 
 The solution was to change the tracepoint into a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION()
 which allows us to check a condition to determine if the tracepoint
 should be called or not. If the condition is not met, the rcu protected
 code will not be executed. By adding the condition
 "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the RCU protected
 code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline.
 
 After adding this, another bug was discovered. As RCU checks rcu callers,
 if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously). We found that
 tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not have lockdep
 complain until the tracepoint is activated. This missed places where
 tracepoints were added in places they should not have been. To fix this,
 code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled, any tracepoint will
 still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint is not enabled. The bug
 here, is that the check does not take the CONDITION into account. As the
 condition may prevent tracepoints from being activated in RCU ignored
 areas (as the one patch does), we get false positives when we enable
 lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the condition prevents it from being
 called in a RCU ignored location. The fix for this is to add the
 CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if the tracepoint is not enabled.

f781951299 kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.

This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest.  KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too.  When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.

With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest.  This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.

Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host.  The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.

The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter.  It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.

While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls.  During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark.  The wasted time is thus very low.  Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.

The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer.  Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns.  For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.
