cover um: Add SMP support

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

This series adds initial symmetric multi-processing (SMP) support to UML. With this support, users can tell UML to start multiple virtual CPUs, each represented as a separate host thread.

In UML, kthreads and normal threads (when running in kernel mode) can be scheduled and executed simultaneously on different virtual CPUs. However, the userspace code of normal threads currently still runs within their respective single-threaded stubs.

So SMP within the kernel is supported. SMP across different guest processes is also supported. Currently, the limitation is that multi-threading within the same guest process does not yet support true SMP in userspace, as it would require converting the stub into a multi-threaded implementation, which is not covered in this series.

Extending the stub to support true SMP in userspace could be done later and requires careful design. It may be better to handle it in a follow-up series.

Here are some steps to try out SMP support in UML:

1. Build UML with CONFIG_SMP=y and, for example, CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8.

2. Launch a UML instance with, for example, 8 virtual CPUs.

 $ ./linux mem=16G ncpus=8 seccomp=on init=/bin/sh ubd0=$your_rootfs_image

PATCH 1/9 um: Stop tracking virtual CPUs via mm_cpumask()

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

In UML, each user address space is represented as a separate stub process on the host. Therefore, user address spaces do not require TLB management on UML virtual CPUs, and it's unnecessary to track which virtual CPUs they have executed on.

PATCH 3/9 um: vdso: Implement __vdso_getcpu() via syscall

In reply to Tiwei Bie

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

We are going to support SMP in UML, so we can not hard code the CPU and NUMA node in __vdso_getcpu() anymore.

PATCH 4/9 um: Preserve errno within signal handler

In reply to Tiwei Bie

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

We rely on errno to determine if a syscall has failed. However, the current signal handler may modify errno. Preserve errno within the signal handler to ensure it remains async-signal safe.

PATCH 5/9 um: Turn signals_* into thread-local variables

In reply to Tiwei Bie

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

Turn signals_enabled, signals_pending and signals_active into thread-local variables. This enables us to control and track signals independently on each CPU thread. This is a preparation for adding SMP support.

PATCH 6/9 um: Determine sleep based on need_resched()

In reply to Tiwei Bie

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

With SMP and NO_HZ enabled, the CPU may still need to sleep even if the timer is disarmed. Switch to deciding whether to sleep based on pending resched. This is a preparation for adding SMP support.

PATCH 8/9 um: Support directing IO signals to calling thread

In reply to Tiwei Bie

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

Extend os_set_fd_async() to allow the calling thread to direct I/O availability signals to itself. After this change, existing users will explicitly direct these signals to the CPU0 thread, which was achieved by ignoring SIGIO in helper threads. This is a preparation for adding SMP support.

PATCH 9/9 um: Add initial SMP support

In reply to Tiwei Bie

From: Tiwei Bie <[email protected]>

Add initial symmetric multi-processing (SMP) support to UML. With this support, it is now possible for users to tell UML to start multiple virtual CPUs, each represented as a separate host thread.

In UML, kthreads and normal threads (when running in kernel mode) can be scheduled and executed simultaneously on different virtual CPUs. However, the userspace code of normal threads still runs within their single-threaded stubs, meaning that true SMP support in userspace is not yet realized within the same process.

Except for loongarch they all do something else too though. Feels to me um (and loongarch) really shouldn't need that file.

Sorry for the confusion. My point is that since other architectures also do this, it seems common practice to include asm/processor.h in asm/spinlock.h when necessary.

The reason we need to include asm/processor.h in asm/spinlock.h on UML is because:

ticket_spin_lock() (which is an inline function indirectly provided by asm-generic/spinlock.h) relies on atomic_cond_read_acquire(), which is defined as smp_cond_load_acquire().

On UML, smp_cond_load_acquire() is provided by asm-generic/barrier.h, and it relies on smp_cond_load_relaxed(), which is also provided by asm-generic/barrier.h on UML. And smp_cond_load_relaxed() is a macro that relies on cpu_relax(), which is provided by asm/processor.h.

If we don't include asm/processor.h in asm/spinlock.h, ticket_spin_lock() will fail to build:

./include/asm-generic/ticket_spinlock.h: In function ‘ticket_spin_lock’:
./include/asm-generic/barrier.h:253:17: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_relax’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Do we need this file? Maybe asm-generic should be including the right things it needs?

I added this file to include asm/processor.h; otherwise, there would be a lot of compilation errors. Other architectures seem to do the same:

In general though, there ought to be some definition of which header file(s) is/are expected to provide smp_cond_load_acquire() and/or atomic_cond_read_acquire(). And that header file/those header files should be included by the files that use the functions/macros.

IOW, I think you've stumbled across an inconsistency in the generic files, and hence we should fix that, rather than having each architecture paper over it.

Hmm, this issue might be a bit tricky to resolve.. The root cause is that smp_cond_load_relaxed() provided by asm/barrier.h relies on cpu_relax() [1][2], but the corresponding header isn't included. The reason why it's not included might be that asm/processor.h includes too many dependencies, which prevents barrier.h from including it. I haven't come up with an ideal way to address it yet. Fortunately, smp_cond_load_relaxed() is a macro, so cpu_relax() is needed only when smp_cond_load_relaxed() is invoked inside a function (i.e., when it's expanded during preprocessing).

As for this series, I realized that I should implement spinlock in $SUBARCH (i.e., in a $SUBARCH native way, which won't require the above workaround anymore), similar to how atomic and barrier are implemented. I'll take that approach in the next version.

Thanks again for the review!

We were discussing the IPI stuff and started thinking maybe an RT signal with sigqueue() passing the value to the si_value in SA_SIGINFO data would be possible and have less overhead? That way there's nothing on the SIGIO path, and you don't need a read() for the type of IPI?
