* nohz: Assert existing housekeepers when nohz full enabledFrederic Weisbecker2015-09-021-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code ensures that when nohz full is running, at least the boot CPU serves as a housekeeper and it can't be later offlined. Let's assert this assumption to make sure that we have CPUs to handle unbound jobs like workqueues and timers while nohz full CPUs run undisturbed. Also improve the comments on housekeeper offlining prevention.

* nohz: Restart nohz full tick from irq exitFrederic Weisbecker2015-07-291-24/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restart the tick when necessary from the irq exit path. It makes nohz full more flexible, simplify the related IPIs and doesn't bring significant overhead on irq exit. In a longer term view, it will allow us to piggyback the nohz kick on the scheduler IPI in the future instead of sending a dedicated IPI that often doubles the scheduler IPI on task wakeup. This will require more changes though including careful review of resched_curr() callers to include nohz full needs.

* nohz: Remove idle task special caseFrederic Weisbecker2015-07-291-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On nohz full early days, idle dynticks and full dynticks weren't well integrated and we couldn't risk full dynticks calls on idle without risking messing up tick idle statistics. This is why we prevented such thing to happen. Nowadays full dynticks and idle dynticks are better integrated and interact without known issue. So lets remove that.

* timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner2015-06-191-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.

* tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluationThomas Gleixner2015-04-221-60/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases. Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself. Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle issues lurking around the corner. The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this. So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next tick to some randomly deferred future. So lets just get rid of this tick self rescheduling in dynticks mode. This way we can avoid some clockevents double write in favourable scenarios like when we stop the tick completely in idle while no other hrtimer is pending.

Then on irq exit, the nohz code overrides that setting if needed and defers the next tick as far away in the future as possible. Now in the best dynticks case, when we actually don't need any tick in the future (ie: expires == KTIME_MAX), low-res and high-res behave differently. What we want in this case is to cancel the next tick programmed by the previous one. That's what we do in high-res mode. OTOH we lack a low-res mode equivalent of hrtimer_cancel() so we simply don't do anything in this case and the next tick remains scheduled to jiffies + 1. As a result, in low-res mode, when the dynticks code determines that no tick is needed in the future, we can recursively get a spurious tick every jiffy because then the next tick is always reprogrammed from the tick handler and is never cancelled. And this can happen indefinetly until some subsystem actually needs a precise tick in the future and only then we eventually overwrite the previous tick handler setting to defer the next tick. We are fixing this by introducing the ONESHOT_STOPPED mode which will let us pause a clockevent when no further interrupt is needed. Meanwhile we can't expect all drivers to support this new mode. So lets reduce much of the symptoms by skipping the nohz-blind tick rescheduling from the tick-handler when the CPU is in dynticks mode. That tick rescheduling wrongly assumed periodicity and the low-res dynticks code can't cancel such decision. This breaks the recursive (and thus the worst) part of the problem. In the worst case now, we'll get only one extra tick due to uncancelled tick scheduled before we entered dynticks mode. This also removes a needless clockevent write on idle ticks. Since those clock write are usually considered to be slow, it's a general win.

* | rcu: Bind grace-period kthreads to non-NO_HZ_FULL CPUsPaul E. McKenney2014-07-091-0/+10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Binding the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU resulted in significant performance decreases for some workloads. For more detail, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/395 for benchmark numbers https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/218 for CPU statistics It turns out that it is necessary to bind the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU only when all but CPU 0 is a nohz_full CPU on the one hand or if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y on the other. In other cases, it suffices to bind the grace-period kthreads to the set of non-nohz_full CPUs. This commit therefore creates a tick_nohz_not_full_mask that is the complement of tick_nohz_full_mask, and then binds the grace-period kthread to the set of CPUs indicated by this new mask, which covers the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n case. The CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y case still binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU. This commit also includes the tick_nohz_full_enabled() check suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time() while holding the jiffies lock. Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer(). This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed() in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set() call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock to be acquired.

| * | nohz: Convert a few places to use local per cpu accessesFrederic Weisbecker2013-12-021-23/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few functions use remote per CPU access APIs when they deal with local values. Just do the right conversion to improve performance, code readability and debug checks. While at it, lets extend some of these function names with *_this_cpu() suffix in order to display their purpose more clearly.

* | nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=offThomas Gleixner2013-11-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case. Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.

* | NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz enabledThomas Gleixner2013-11-191-12/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU and the fine grained idle time accounting functions check tick_nohz_enabled. But that variable is merily telling that NOHZ has been enabled in the config and not been disabled on the command line. But it does not tell anything about nohz being active. That's what all this should check for. Matthew reported, that the idle accounting on his old P1 machine showed bogus values, when he enabled NOHZ in the config and did not disable it on the kernel command line. The reason is that his machine uses (refined) jiffies as a clocksource which explains why the "fine" grained accounting went into lala land, because it depends on when the system goes and leaves idle relative to the jiffies increment. Provide a tick_nohz_active indicator and let RCU and the accounting code use this instead of tick_nohz_enable.

* nohz: Include local CPU in full dynticks global kickFrederic Weisbecker2013-08-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before re-evaluating the need for the tick. Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many() that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate the tick. on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario. So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all() so that the usual irq work takes care of it.

I believe that distros want to enable this feature so it seems important to optimize the case where the "nohz_full=" parameter is empty. ie: I'm trying to remove any performance regression that comes with NO_HZ_FULL=y when the feature is not used. This patchset improves the current situation a lot (off-case appears to be around 11% faster with hackbench, although I guess it may vary depending on the configuration but it should be significantly faster in any case) now there is still some work to do: I can still observe a remaining loss of 1.6% throughput seen with hackbench compared to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n.
