Subject: [PATCH 3/4 v0.5] sched/umcg: RFC: implement UMCG syscalls
Date:   Wed,  8 Sep 2021 11:49:04 -0700
Message-Id: <20210908184905.163787-4-posk@google.com>
In-Reply-To: <20210908184905.163787-1-posk@google.com>

Define struct umcg_task and two syscalls: sys_umcg_ctl sys_umcg_wait.

All key operations, such as wait/wake/context-switch, as well as
timeouts and block/wake detection, are working quite reliably.

In addition, the userspace can now force the kernel to preempt
a running worker by changing its state from RUNNING to
RUNNING | PREEMPTED and sending a signal to it. This new functionality
is less well tested than the key operations above, but is working
well in the common case of the worker busy in the userspace.

Peter Z. suggested a different approach in
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210713161030.GA2591@worktop.programming.kicks-ass.net/
but I'm not sure how a new syscall (called from a signal handler?)
would improve things: at least now the interrupter can be reasonably
assured that if the state change RUNNING => RUNNING | PREEMPTED
succeeded, and the signal delivered, the worker will be interrupted;
am I missing something?

These big things remain to be addressed:
- tracing/debugging
- faster context switches (see umcg_do_context_switch in umcg.c)
- other architectures (we will need at least arm64 in addition to amd64)
- tools/lib/umcg for userspace
- kselftests

I obviosly have the last two items (libumcg and selftests) to a
certain extent, but they are a bit rough at the moment - I'll
clean them up and post to LKML soon(ish).

See Documentation/userspace-api/umcg.rst for API usage and other details.

v0.4->v0.5 changes:
- handling idle workers and servers is now much simpler on the kernel
  side, thanks to Thierry Delisle's suggestion:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/3530714d-125b-e0f5-45b2-72695e2fc4ee@uwaterloo.ca/
- minor tweaks to improve preemption handling;

v0.3->v0.4 changes:
- removed server_tid and api_version fields from struct umcg_task;
- added timeout handling to sys_umcg_wait();
- implemented worker preemption via signals;
- handling idle workers and servers is changed again (see umcg.rst).

v0.2->v0.3 changes:
- the overall approach is now based on peterz@'s suggestion in
  https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/1433967/
  (should I add Suggested-by?)
- new protocol for working with idle workers and servers is used, to avoid
  spinning in the kernel;
- waking a UMCG task now does not require spinning.
