Xin Zhao eb3b0d92c9 tty: tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY buffer
On the embedded platform, certain critical data, such as IMU data, is
transmitted through UART. The tty_flip_buffer_push() interface in the TTY
layer uses system_dfl_wq to handle the flipping of the TTY buffer.
Although the unbound workqueue can create new threads on demand and wake
up the kworker thread on an idle CPU, it may be preempted by real-time
tasks or other high-prio tasks.

flush_to_ldisc() needs to wake up the relevant data handle thread. When
executing __wake_up_common_lock(), it calls spin_lock_irqsave(), which
does not disable preemption but disables migration in RT-Linux. This
prevents the kworker thread from being migrated to other cores by CPU's
balancing logic, resulting in long delays. The call trace is as follows:
    __wake_up_common_lock
    __wake_up
    ep_poll_callback
    __wake_up_common
    __wake_up_common_lock
    __wake_up
    n_tty_receive_buf_common
    n_tty_receive_buf2
    tty_ldisc_receive_buf
    tty_port_default_receive_buf
    flush_to_ldisc

In our system, the processing interval for each frame of IMU data
transmitted via UART can experience significant jitter due to this issue.
Instead of the expected 10 to 15 ms frame processing interval, we see
spikes up to 30 to 35 ms. Moreover, in just one or two hours, there can
be 2 to 3 occurrences of such high jitter, which is quite frequent. This
jitter exceeds the software's tolerable limit of 20 ms.

Introduce flip_wq in tty_port which can be set by tty_port_link_wq() or as
default linked to default workqueue allocated when tty_register_driver().
The default workqueue is allocated with flag WQ_SYSFS, so that cpumask and
nice can be set dynamically. The execution timing of tty_port_link_wq() is
not clearly restricted. The newly added function tty_port_link_driver_wq()
checks whether the flip_wq of the tty_port has already been assigned when
linking the default tty_driver's workqueue to the port. After the user has
set a custom workqueue for a certain tty_port using tty_port_link_wq(), the
system will only use this custom workqueue, even if tty_driver does not
have %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag. When tty_port register device, flip_wq
link operation is done by tty_port_link_driver_wq(), but for in-memory
devices the link operation cannot cover all the cases. Although
tty_port_install() is dedicated for in-memory devices lik PTY to link port
allocated on demand, the logic of tty_port_install() is so simple that
people may not call it, vc_cons[0].d->port is one such case. We check the
buf.flip_wq when flip TTY buffer, if buf.flip_wq of TTY port is NULL, use
system_dfl_wq as a backup.

To avoid naming conflict of the default tty_driver's workqueue, using
'"%s-%s", driver->name, driver->driver_name' as the workqueue name. In
cases where driver_name is not specified and therefore is NULL, the
workqueue is not created. Drivers that do not define driver_name are
potentially in-memory devices like vty, which generally do not require
special workqueue settings. Even with the combination of name and
driver_name, the workqueue names can still be duplicated, as many tty
serial drivers use "ttyS" as dev_name and "serial" as driver_name. I
modified the conflicting driver_name of these drivers by appending a
suffix of _xx based on the corresponding .c file. If this modification is
not made, it could not only lead to duplicate workqueue names but also
result in duplicate entries for the /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name> nodes.

Introduce %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag meaning not to create the
default single tty_driver workqueue. Two reasons why need to introduce the
%TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag:
1. If the WQ_SYSFS parameter is enabled, workqueue_sysfs_register() will
fail when trying to create a workqueue with the same name. The pty is an
example of this; if both CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS and CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are
enabled, the call to tty_register_driver() in unix98_pty_init() will fail.
2. Different TTY ports may be used for different tasks, which may require
separate core binding control via workqueues. In this case, the workqueue
created by default in the TTY driver is unnecessary. Enabling this flag
prevents the creation of this redundant workqueue.

After applying this patch, we can set the related UART TTY flip buffer
workqueue by sysfs. We set the cpumask to CPU cores associated with the
IMU tasks, and set the nice to -20. Testing has shown significant
improvement in the previously described issue, with almost no stuttering
occurring anymore.

/**
* enum tty_driver_flag -- TTY Driver Flags
*
* These are flags passed to tty_alloc_driver().
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_INSTALLED:
* Whether this driver was succesfully installed. This is a tty internal
* flag. Do not touch.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS:
* Requests the tty layer to reset the termios setting when the last
* process has closed the device. Used for PTYs, in particular.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW:
* Indicates that the driver will guarantee not to set any special
* character handling flags if this is set for the tty:
*
* ``(IGNBRK || (!BRKINT && !PARMRK)) && (IGNPAR || !INPCK)``
*
* That is, if there is no reason for the driver to
* send notifications of parity and break characters up to the line
* driver, it won't do so. This allows the line driver to optimize for
* this case if this flag is set. (Note that there is also a promise, if
* the above case is true, not to signal overruns, either.)
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV:
* The individual tty devices need to be registered with a call to
* tty_register_device() when the device is found in the system and
* unregistered with a call to tty_unregister_device() so the devices will
* be show up properly in sysfs. If not set, all &tty_driver.num entries
* will be created by the tty core in sysfs when tty_register_driver() is
* called. This is to be used by drivers that have tty devices that can
* appear and disappear while the main tty driver is registered with the
* tty core.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM:
* Don't use the standard arrays (&tty_driver.ttys and
* &tty_driver.termios), instead use dynamic memory keyed through the
* devpts filesystem. This is only applicable to the PTY driver.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK:
* Hardware handles break signals. Pass the requested timeout to the
* &tty_operations.break_ctl instead of using a simple on/off interface.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_ALLOC:
* Do not allocate structures which are needed per line for this driver
* (&tty_driver.ports) as it would waste memory. The driver will take
* care. This is only applicable to the PTY driver.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_UNNUMBERED_NODE:
* Do not create numbered ``/dev`` nodes. For example, create
* ``/dev/ttyprintk`` and not ``/dev/ttyprintk0``. Applicable only when a
* driver for a single tty device is being allocated.
*
* @TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE:
* Do not create workqueue when tty_register_driver(). Whenever set, flip
* buffer workqueue can be set by tty_port_link_wq() for every port.

* %tty_mutex (for now!)
*
* Optional method. Default behaviour is to use the @self->ttys array.
*
* @install: ``int ()(struct tty_driver *self, struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* Install a new @tty into the @self's internal tables. Used in
* conjunction with @lookup and @remove methods.
*
* Optional method. Default behaviour is to use the @self->ttys array.
*
* @remove: ``void ()(struct tty_driver *self, struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* Remove a closed @tty from the @self's internal tables. Used in
* conjunction with @lookup and @remove methods.
*
* Optional method. Default behaviour is to use the @self->ttys array.
*
* @open: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct file *)``
*
* This routine is called when a particular @tty device is opened. This
* routine is mandatory; if this routine is not filled in, the attempted
* open will fail with %ENODEV.
*
* Required method. Called with tty lock held. May sleep.
*
* @close: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct file *)``
*
* This routine is called when a particular @tty device is closed. At the
* point of return from this call the driver must make no further ldisc
* calls of any kind.
*
* Remark: called even if the corresponding @open() failed.
*
* Required method. Called with tty lock held. May sleep.
*
* @shutdown: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine is called under the tty lock when a particular @tty device
* is closed for the last time. It executes before the @tty resources
* are freed so may execute while another function holds a @tty kref.
*
* @cleanup: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine is called asynchronously when a particular @tty device
* is closed for the last time freeing up the resources. This is
* actually the second part of shutdown for routines that might sleep.
*
* @write: ``ssize_t ()(struct tty_struct *tty, const u8 *buf, size_t count)``
*
* This routine is called by the kernel to write a series (@count) of
* characters (@buf) to the @tty device. The characters may come from
* user space or kernel space. This routine will return the
* number of characters actually accepted for writing.
*
* May occur in parallel in special cases. Because this includes panic
* paths drivers generally shouldn't try and do clever locking here.
*
* Optional: Required for writable devices. May not sleep.
*
* @put_char: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, u8 ch)``
*
* This routine is called by the kernel to write a single character @ch to
* the @tty device. If the kernel uses this routine, it must call the
* @flush_chars() routine (if defined) when it is done stuffing characters
* into the driver. If there is no room in the queue, the character is
* ignored.
*
* Optional: Kernel will use the @write method if not provided. Do not
* call this function directly, call tty_put_char().
*
* @flush_chars: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine is called by the kernel after it has written a
* series of characters to the tty device using @put_char().
*
* Optional. Do not call this function directly, call
* tty_driver_flush_chars().
*
* @write_room: ``unsigned int ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine returns the numbers of characters the @tty driver
* will accept for queuing to be written. This number is subject
* to change as output buffers get emptied, or if the output flow
* control is acted.
*
* The ldisc is responsible for being intelligent about multi-threading of
* write_room/write calls
*
* Required if @write method is provided else not needed. Do not call this
* function directly, call tty_write_room()
*
* @chars_in_buffer: ``unsigned int ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine returns the number of characters in the device private
* output queue. Used in tty_wait_until_sent() and for poll()
* implementation.
*
* Optional: if not provided, it is assumed there is no queue on the
* device. Do not call this function directly, call tty_chars_in_buffer().
*
* @ioctl: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned int cmd,
* unsigned long arg)``
*
* This routine allows the @tty driver to implement device-specific
* ioctls. If the ioctl number passed in @cmd is not recognized by the
* driver, it should return %ENOIOCTLCMD.
*
* Optional.
*
* @compat_ioctl: ``long ()(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned int cmd,
* unsigned long arg)``
*
* Implement ioctl processing for 32 bit process on 64 bit system.
*
* Optional.
*
* @set_termios: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty, const struct ktermios *old)``
*
* This routine allows the @tty driver to be notified when device's
* termios settings have changed. New settings are in @tty->termios.
* Previous settings are passed in the @old argument.
*
* The API is defined such that the driver should return the actual modes
* selected. This means that the driver is responsible for modifying any
* bits in @tty->termios it cannot fulfill to indicate the actual modes
* being used.
*
* Optional. Called under the @tty->termios_rwsem. May sleep.
*
* @ldisc_ok: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, int ldisc)``
*
* This routine allows the @tty driver to decide if it can deal
* with a particular @ldisc.
*
* Optional. Called under the @tty->ldisc_sem and @tty->termios_rwsem.
*
* @set_ldisc: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine allows the @tty driver to be notified when the device's
* line discipline is being changed. At the point this is done the
* discipline is not yet usable.
*
* Optional. Called under the @tty->ldisc_sem and @tty->termios_rwsem.
*
* @throttle: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine notifies the @tty driver that input buffers for the line
* discipline are close to full, and it should somehow signal that no more
* characters should be sent to the @tty.
*
* Serialization including with @unthrottle() is the job of the ldisc
* layer.
*
* Optional: Always invoke via tty_throttle_safe(). Called under the
* @tty->termios_rwsem.
*
* @unthrottle: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine notifies the @tty driver that it should signal that
* characters can now be sent to the @tty without fear of overrunning the
* input buffers of the line disciplines.
*
* Optional. Always invoke via tty_unthrottle(). Called under the
* @tty->termios_rwsem.
*
* @stop: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine notifies the @tty driver that it should stop outputting
* characters to the tty device.
*
* Called with @tty->flow.lock held. Serialized with @start() method.
*
* Optional. Always invoke via stop_tty().
*
* @start: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine notifies the @tty driver that it resumed sending
* characters to the @tty device.
*
* Called with @tty->flow.lock held. Serialized with stop() method.
*
* Optional. Always invoke via start_tty().
*
* @hangup: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine notifies the @tty driver that it should hang up the @tty
* device.
*
* Optional. Called with tty lock held.
*
* @break_ctl: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, int state)``
*
* This optional routine requests the @tty driver to turn on or off BREAK
* status on the RS-232 port. If @state is -1, then the BREAK status
* should be turned on; if @state is 0, then BREAK should be turned off.
*
* If this routine is implemented, the high-level tty driver will handle
* the following ioctls: %TCSBRK, %TCSBRKP, %TIOCSBRK, %TIOCCBRK.
*
* If the driver sets %TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK in tty_alloc_driver(),
* then the interface will also be called with actual times and the
* hardware is expected to do the delay work itself. 0 and -1 are still
* used for on/off.
*
* Optional: Required for %TCSBRK/%BRKP/etc. handling. May sleep.
*
* @flush_buffer: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine discards device private output buffer. Invoked on close,
* hangup, to implement %TCOFLUSH ioctl and similar.
*
* Optional: if not provided, it is assumed there is no queue on the
* device. Do not call this function directly, call
* tty_driver_flush_buffer().
*
* @wait_until_sent: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty, int timeout)``
*
* This routine waits until the device has written out all of the
* characters in its transmitter FIFO. Or until @timeout (in jiffies) is
* reached.
*
* Optional: If not provided, the device is assumed to have no FIFO.
* Usually correct to invoke via tty_wait_until_sent(). May sleep.
*
* @send_xchar: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty, u8 ch)``
*
* This routine is used to send a high-priority XON/XOFF character (@ch)
* to the @tty device.
*
* Optional: If not provided, then the @write method is called under
* the @tty->atomic_write_lock to keep it serialized with the ldisc.
*
* @tiocmget: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
*
* This routine is used to obtain the modem status bits from the @tty
* driver.
*
* Optional: If not provided, then %ENOTTY is returned from the %TIOCMGET
* ioctl. Do not call this function directly, call tty_tiocmget().
*
* @tiocmset: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty,
* unsigned int set, unsigned int clear)``
*
* This routine is used to set the modem status bits to the @tty driver.
* First, @clear bits should be cleared, then @set bits set.
*
* Optional: If not provided, then %ENOTTY is returned from the %TIOCMSET
* ioctl. Do not call this function directly, call tty_tiocmset().
*
* @resize: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct winsize *ws)``
*
* Called when a termios request is issued which changes the requested
* terminal geometry to @ws.
*
* Optional: the default action is to update the termios structure
* without error. This is usually the correct behaviour. Drivers should
* not force errors here if they are not resizable objects (e.g. a serial
* line). See tty_do_resize() if you need to wrap the standard method
* in your own logic -- the usual case.
*
* @get_icount: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty,
* struct serial_icounter *icount)``
*
* Called when the @tty device receives a %TIOCGICOUNT ioctl. Passed a
* kernel structure @icount to complete.
*
* Optional: called only if provided, otherwise %ENOTTY will be returned.
*
* @get_serial: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct serial_struct *p)``
*
* Called when the @tty device receives a %TIOCGSERIAL ioctl. Passed a
* kernel structure @p (&struct serial_struct) to complete.
*
* Optional: called only if provided, otherwise %ENOTTY will be returned.
* Do not call this function directly, call tty_tiocgserial().
*
* @set_serial: ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct serial_struct *p)``
*
* Called when the @tty device receives a %TIOCSSERIAL ioctl. Passed a
* kernel structure @p (&struct serial_struct) to set the values from.
*
* Optional: called only if provided, otherwise %ENOTTY will be returned.
* Do not call this function directly, call tty_tiocsserial().
*
* @show_fdinfo: ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct seq_file *m)``
*
* Called when the @tty device file descriptor receives a fdinfo request
* from VFS (to show in /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/). @m should be filled with
* information.
*
* Optional: called only if provided, otherwise nothing is written to @m.
* Do not call this function directly, call tty_show_fdinfo().
*
* @poll_init: ``int ()(struct tty_driver *driver, int line, char *options)``
*
* kgdboc support (Documentation/process/debugging/kgdb.rst). This routine is
* called to initialize the HW for later use by calling @poll_get_char or
* @poll_put_char.
*
* Optional: called only if provided, otherwise skipped as a non-polling
* driver.
*
* @poll_get_char: ``int ()(struct tty_driver *driver, int line)``
*
* kgdboc support (see @poll_init). @driver should read a character from a
* tty identified by @line and return it.
*
* Optional: called only if @poll_init provided.
*
* @poll_put_char: ``void ()(struct tty_driver *driver, int line, char ch)``
*
* kgdboc support (see @poll_init). @driver should write character @ch to
* a tty identified by @line.
*
* Optional: called only if @poll_init provided.
*
* @proc_show: ``int ()(struct seq_file *m, void *driver)``
*
* Driver @driver (cast to &struct tty_driver) can show additional info in
* /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name>. It is enough to fill in the information
* into @m.
*
* Optional: called only if provided, otherwise no /proc entry created.
*
* This structure defines the interface between the low-level tty driver and
