1. Prominent features

1.1. Virtual GPU support

This release adds support for Intel GVT-g for KVM (a.k.a. KVMGT), a full GPU virtualization solution with mediated pass-through, starting from 4th generation Intel Core processors with Intel Graphics. This feature is based on a new VFIO Mediated Device framework. Unlike direct pass-through alternatives, the mediated device framework allows KVMGT to offer a complete virtualized GPU with full GPU features to each one of the virtualized guests, with part of performance critical resources directly assigned, while still having performance close to native. The capability of running native graphics driver inside a VM, without hypervisor intervention in performance critical paths, achieves a good balance among performance, feature, and sharing capability.

1.2. New 'perf c2c' tool, for cacheline contention analysis

In modern systems with multiple processors, different memory modules are physically connected to different CPUs. In these [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_memory_access NUMA] systems, memory accesses to the local memory are faster than accesses to the memory connected to other processors. When a task is multi-threaded, different threads can run in different CPUs at the same time; if these threads try to access and modify the same memory, they can have performance issues.

perf c2c (for "cache to cache") is a new tool designed to analyse and track down performance problems caused by false sharing on NUMA systems. The tool is based on x86's load latency and precise store facility events provided by Intel CPUs. At a high level, perf c2c will show you:

• The cachelines where false sharing was detected.
• The readers and writers to those cachelines, and the offsets where those accesses occurred.
• The pid, tid, instruction addr, function name, binary object name for those readers and writers.
• The source file and line number for each reader and writer.
• The average load latency for the loads to those cachelines.
• Which numa nodes the samples a cacheline came from and which CPUs were involved.

and more. For more details on perf c2c and how to use it, see https://joemario.github.io/blog/2016/09/01/c2c-blog/

1.3. Detailed history of scheduling events with perf sched timehist

'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events. Example usage: # perf sched record -- sleep 1;  perf sched timehist. By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run time for the task:

1.4. Improved writeback management

Since the dawn of time, the way Linux synchronizes to disk the data written to memory by processes (aka. background writeback) has sucked. When Linux writes all that data in the background, it should have little impact on foreground activity. That's the definition of background activity...But for a long as it can be remembered, heavy buffered writers have not behaved like that. For instance, if you do something like $ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=10k, or try to copy files to USB storage, and then try and start a browser or any other large app, it basically won't start before the buffered writeback is done, and your desktop, or command shell, feels unreponsive. These problems happen because heavy writes -the kind of write activity caused by the background writeback- fill up the block layer, and other IO requests have to wait a lot to be attended (for more details, see the [https://lwn.net/Articles/682582/ LWN article]).

This release adds a mechanism that throttles back buffered writeback, which makes more difficult for heavy writers to monopolize the IO requests queue, and thus provides a smoother experience in Linux desktops and shells than what people was used to. The algorithm for when to throttle can monitor the latencies of requests, and shrinks or grows the request queue depth accordingly, which means that it's auto-tunable, and generally, a user would not have to touch the settings.

1.5. Hybrid block polling

Linux 4.4 [https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.4#head-cd57c6abf8822152b3a175dd68c9610562b220d5 added] support for polling requests in the block layer, a similar approach to what NAPI does for networking, which can improve performance for high-throughput devices (eg: NVM). Continuously polling a device, however, can cause excessive CPU consumption and some times even worse throughput. This release includes a new hybrid, adaptative type of polling. Instead of polling after IO submission, the kernel induces an artificial delay, and then polls after that. For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, the kernel sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then does the polling. This still puts a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid scheme, Linux can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same (or less) amount of CPU. Thanks to improved statistics gathering included in this release, the kernel can measure the completion time of requests and calculate how much it should sleep.

The hybrid block polling is disabled by default. A new sysfs file, /sys/block/<dev>/queue/io_poll_delay has been added, which makes the polling behave as follows: -1: never enter hybrid sleep, always poll (default); 0: Use half of the completion mean for this request type for the sleep delay (aka: hybrid poll); >0: disregard the mean value calculated by the kernel, and always use this specific value as the sleep delay.

1.6. Allow attaching eBPF programs to cgroups

This release adds eBPF hooks for cgroups, to allow eBPF programs for network filtering and accounting to be attached to cgroups, so that they apply to all sockets of all tasks placed in that cgroup. A new BPF program type is added, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. The [http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/bpf.2.html bpf(2)] syscall is extended with by two new commands, BPF_PROG_ATTACH and BPF_PROG_DETACH, which allow attaching and detaching eBPF programs to a target. This feature is configurable (CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF).

This release also adds a new cgroup based program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK. Similar to BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB programs can be attached to a cgroup and run any time a process in the cgroup opens an AF_INET or AF_INET6 socket. Currently only sk_bound_dev_if is exported to userspace for modification by a bpf program.

1.7. Experimental MD raid5 writeback cache and FAILFAST support

This release implements a raid5 writeback cache in the MD subsystem (Multiple Devices). Its goal is to aggregate writes to make full stripe write and reduce read-modify-write. It's helpful for workload which does sequential write and follows fsync for example.

This feature is experimental and off by default.

This release also adds "failfast" support. RAID disk with failed IOs are marked as broken quickly, and avoided in the future, which can improve latency.

1.8. Support for Intel Cache Allocation Technology

A Intel feature that allows to set policies on the L2/L3 CPU caches; eg. real time tasks could be assigned dedicated cache space. For more details, read the recommended LWN article: [https://lwn.net/Articles/694800/ Controlling access to the memory cache].

2. Core (various)

• Kernel configuration system: Introduce the "imply" keyword. The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come with the "select" keyword. This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/237e3ad0f195d8fd34f1299e45f04793832a16fc commit]

• To cover the needs of some systems where suspend-to-idle is the preferred suspend method, rework the system sleep state selection interface (but preserve backwards compatibiliby). A new sysfs file, /sys/power/mem_sleep is added, that will control the system suspend mode triggered when writing mem to /sys/power/state (in analogy with what /sys/power/disk does for hibernation). It selects suspend-to-RAM (deep sleep) by default (if supported) and fall back to suspend-to-idle (s2idle) otherwise and add a new command line argument, mem_sleep_default, allowing that default to be overridden if need be [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/406e79385f3223d82272cf2be86bc95cd000a258 commit]

• Add support for per-UID routing. It allows the administrator to configure rules such as: # ip rule add uidrange 100-200 lookup 123. This functionality has been in use by all Android devices since 5.0. It is primarily used to impose per-app routing policies (on Android, every app has its own UID) without having to resort to rerouting packets in iptables, which breaks getsockname() and MTU/MSS calculation, and generally disrupts end-to-end connectivity [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/86741ec25462e4c8cdce6df2f41ead05568c7d5e commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/622ec2c9d52405973c9f1ca5116eb1c393adfc7d commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e2d118a1cb5e60d077131a09db1d81b90a5295fe commit]

• TCP: sender chronographs instrumentation. This feature exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently it can instrument how long a particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because TCP was experiencing small receive window [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/05b055e89121394058c75dc354e9a46e1e765579 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/0f87230d1a6c253681550c6064715d06a32be73d commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/5615f88614a47d2b802e1d14d31b623696109276 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b0f71bd3e190df827d25d7f19bf09037567f14b7 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/efd90174167530c67a54273fd5d8369c87f9bd32 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1c885808e45601b2b6f68b30ac1d999e10b6f606 commit]

• Netfilter

  • Add support for stateful objects, providing a nf_tables native alternative to [http://netfilter.org/projects/nfacct/ nfacct], the extended accounting infrastructure. Two initial stateful objects are supported: counters and quotas. Stateful objects are uniquely identified by a user-defined name and you have to attach them to tables, you can fetch and reset them anytime. You can also use a maps to allow fast lookups using any arbitrary key combination [http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=148029128323837&w=2 More info].

  • Introduce an nftables rt expression for routing related data with support for nexthop (i.e. the directly connected IP address that an outgoing packet is sent to), which can be used either for matching or accounting, eg. # nft add rule filter postrouting ip daddr 192.168.1.0/24 rt nexthop != 192.168.0.1 drop, this will drop any traffic to 192.168.1.0/24 that is not routed via 192.168.0.1 [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2fa841938c648fe4359691f41e8e1f37ff1a3aa2 commit]

  • Allow disabling conntrack-on-by-default. When net namespaces are added, netfilter hooks that where already registered are inherited. This means that once nf_conntrack_ipv4/6.ko is loaded, all existing and future net namespaces do connection tracking. This series adds a new sysctl, nf_conntrack_default_on, that can be set to 0 to disable this behaviour. Connection tracking is enabled via packet filter ruleset, regardless of the sysctl setting, once a rule that needs conntrack functionality is added (e.g. iptables -m conntrack) [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a379854d91b2cb0af07b0f62845449f4dacbd673 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ecb2421b5ddf48e6e116fced7f74c985bb546138 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a357b3f80bc8d785ac7bdb99eb10ad0ba51275c9 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/20afd423976ef3df0ce5719909ffd4416f9ef986 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/0c66dc1ea3f0366221f8a5a16c73f01ea9259678 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/481fa3734769b67f00ed09a42f2a6a8cbd00b869 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/834184b1f3a4635efbdfdae5fb437f109f6605fa commit]

12.14. Voltage, current regulators, power capping, power supply

• cpufreq
  • intel_pstate

    • Generic governors support. There may be reasons to use generic cpufreq governors instead of the intel_pstate driver's internal governor. However, that currently can only be done by disabling intel_pstate altogether and using the acpi-cpufreq driver instead. This release makes possible to use the intel_pstate driver with generic cpufreq governors as a "normal" cpufreq driver. That mode is enforced by adding intel_pstate=passive to the kernel command line and cannot be disabled at run time. In that mode, intel_pstate provides a cpufreq driver interface and is listed in scaling_driver as "intel_cpufreq" [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/001c76f05b01cc8ceb2098c9ff5de2609bec7f76 commit]

    • Support for per-logical-CPU P-state limits and the Energy Performance Preference/Energy Performance Bias knobs in the intel_pstate driver. Intel P-State offered two interface to set performance limits: Intel P-State sysfs interface, and the cpufreq interface. In the current implementation both of the above methods, change limits to every CPU in the system. To make possible to have limits placed on individual CPU cores. This change brings in capability to set P-States limits for each CPU, with some limitations [https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/eae48f046ffa117afb782cd9b3ae5469df0042e2 commit]
