| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like 99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few. The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a reliable indication that the idle task is polling. Once that's done, the rest is reasonably straightforward. ] When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over. However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it up and have the 'idle' loop do the work. So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet) set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.

The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too liberally. This contains the architecture visible changes. Incidentally, only ARM takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM specific file. The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden by anyone. Replacements are as follows: arch_scale_freq_power --> arch_scale_freq_capacity arch_scale_smt_power --> arch_scale_smt_capacity SCHED_POWER_SCALE --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE SCHED_POWER_SHIFT --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed to "capacity" as appropriate.

The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(), placed after the function definition: NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function); Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller. When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section. Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the macro (because there is no "size" information), those are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise that it starts at zero. So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up to avoid this. I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at zero. This might also be an issue on reboots on processors that don't re-initialize the timer to zero on reset, and when using kexec.

A panic occured while building the sched_domain. In sched_init_numa, we create a new topology table in which both default levels and numa levels are copied. The last row of the table must have a null pointer in the mask field. The current implementation doesn't add this last row in the computation of the table size. So we add 1 row in the allocation size that will be used as the last row of the table. The kzalloc will ensure that the mask field is NULL.

This however means that resched_task() is very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling: CPU0 CPU1 if (current_set_polling_and_test()) goto out; __monitor(&ti->flags); if (!need_resched()) __mwait(eax, ecx); set_tsk_need_resched(p); smp_mb(); out: current_clr_polling(); if (!tsk_is_polling(p)) smp_send_reschedule(cpu); So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some). Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set. Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word, contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly succeed in a single go.

We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags configuration of some levels. For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu, a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology flags are: SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES SD_NUMA SD_ASYM_PACKING Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for load balancing than its children.

They must all be the same. Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3 atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied. So move away from smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic(). This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing __deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not provided by the arch. This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated warns in the interim). Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Paul E.

Fortunately, every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state. Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption, and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well. This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations. This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of RCU grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

It's not safe, because can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccbf0: "__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock." Three CPUs must be involved: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 take rq->lock period timer fired ... take cfs_b lock ... ... tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() throttle_cfs_rq() release cfs_b lock take cfs_b lock ... distribute_cfs_runtime() timer_active = 0 take cfs_b->lock wait for rq->lock ... __start_cfs_bandwidth() {wait for timer callback break if timer_active == 1} So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked. Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and restart the timer explicitly.

The problem is that in the interface we have u64 sched_runtime; while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with budget overruns) s64 runtime; At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in the second. The cast turns out with negative values when sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy right from the start. Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound (s64)(a - b) < 0 we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}. This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone). It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in __checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between values is too big.

This is really unnecessary as we already know no task can be pulled and it doubles the delay for the cpu to enter idle. We instrumented some network workloads and that saw that pick_next_task_fair is frequently called twice before a cpu enters idle. The call to pick_next_task_fair can add non trivial latency as it calls load_balance which runs find_busiest_group on an hierarchy of sched domains spanning the cpus for a large system. For some 4 socket systems, we saw almost 0.25 msec spent per call of pick_next_task_fair before a cpu can be idled." Optimize the second call away for the common case and document the dependency.
