sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites. The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on enqueue. However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative position. To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state. This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

sched: cpu accounting controller (V2) Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption. The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with these differences: - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for 2.6.25 after more discussions. - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler classes - Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage counter to be per-cpu - Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in kernel/sched.c) The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting information. Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with cpuacct.usage.

timers: fix itimer/many thread hang Overview This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code. The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse. Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at which point things degrade rather quickly. This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF." Code Changes This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single- or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function uses those fields to make its decisions. We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and scheduler times and use these in appropriate places: struct task_cputime { cputime_t utime; cputime_t stime; unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime; }; This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer: struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime totals; }; struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime *totals; }; We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr(). We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init() function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task. The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free() function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields; in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and, if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure. Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further. The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal(). It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from cleanup_signal(). All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated. Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting. With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest expiration; this is checked in the fast path. Performance The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those two cases. I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system. Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system, all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many voluntary context switches with the fix as without it. Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023 seconds per tick). Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel. With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus 5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel. Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits. Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results were essentially the same with no itimer running. Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds (where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running, the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise, performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases. In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below. On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720 for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of 0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this test computed the primes up to 25,000,000. I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at 1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of 629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

sched: cpu accounting controller (V2) Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption. The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with these differences: - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for 2.6.25 after more discussions. - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler classes - Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage counter to be per-cpu - Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in kernel/sched.c) The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting information. Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with cpuacct.usage.

To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.

However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative position. To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state. This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites. The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on enqueue. However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative position. To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state. This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

sched: Next buddy hint on sleep and preempt path When a task in a taskgroup sleeps, pick_next_task starts all the way back at the root and picks the task/taskgroup with the min vruntime across all runnable tasks. But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups, it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup on each sleep after a short runtime. This helps specifically where taskgroups corresponds to a process with multiple threads. The change reduces the number of CR3 switches in this case.

sched: Next buddy hint on sleep and preempt path When a task in a taskgroup sleeps, pick_next_task starts all the way back at the root and picks the task/taskgroup with the min vruntime across all runnable tasks. But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups, it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup on each sleep after a short runtime.

sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites. The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on enqueue. However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative position. To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.

Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu, then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.

Allocating this dynamically also allows for some build_sched_groups() simplification since we can now (like with other simplifications) rely on the sched_domain tree instead of hard-coded knowledge. One tricky to note is that detach_destroy_domains() needs to hold rcu_read_lock() over the entire tear-down, per-cpu is not sufficient since that can lead to partial sched_group existance (could possibly be solved by doing the tear-down backwards but this is much more robust). A concequence of the above is that we can no longer print the sched_domain debug stuff from cpu_attach_domain() since that might now run with preemption disabled (due to classic RCU etc.) and sched_domain_debug() does some GFP_KERNEL allocations. Another thing to note is that we now fully rely on normal RCU and not RCU-sched, this is because with the new and exiting RCU flavours we grew over the years BH doesn't necessarily hold off RCU-sched grace periods (-rt is known to break this).

sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

sched: Fix erroneous all_pinned logic The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system. This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system. However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned tasks at all. The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level: load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process. Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes attempt to move load onto puller CPU. To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level. This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just last one in the list.

sched: Use group weight, idle cpu metrics to fix imbalances during idle Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like: a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads), 24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu. b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and 16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy. While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct (by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an overloaded case. Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

sched: Fix SCHED_MC regression caused by change in sched cpu_power On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc. Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated via this recent change: | | commit f93e65c186ab3c05ce2068733ca10e34fd00125e | Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> | Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:32 2009 +0200 | | sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power | Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance (default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies. We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how much load to move etc. Reported-by: Ma Ling <ling.ma@intel.com> Initial-Analysis-by: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> [ -v2: build fix ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # [2.6.32.x, 2.6.33.x] LKML-Reference: <1266970432.11588.22.camel@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

sched: Fix SCHED_MC regression caused by change in sched cpu_power On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc. Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power".

sched: Use group weight, idle cpu metrics to fix imbalances during idle Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like: a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads), 24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu. b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and 16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy. While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct (by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an overloaded case. Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman. This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level. Some cores like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads. In the case of POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are idle. When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since they share less core resources. Hence when we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones. This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the packing. This packing function is run on idle threads. It checks to see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run on. If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier thread as the busiest group to f_b_g(). Here we are assuming a lower CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number. It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at any scheduler domain level. It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling level. The default function doesn't enable this feature. Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra. Fixes from Srivatsa Vaddagiri.

sched: Drop group_capacity to 1 only if local group has extra capacity When SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set on a sched domain, drop group_capacity to 1 only if the local group has extra capacity. The extra check prevents the case where you always pull from the heaviest group when it is already under-utilized (possible with a large weight task outweighs the tasks on the system). For example, consider a 16-cpu quad-core quad-socket machine with MC and NUMA scheduling domains. Let's say we spawn 15 nice0 tasks and one nice-15 task, and each task is running on one core. In this case, we observe the following events when balancing at the NUMA domain: - find_busiest_group() will always pick the sched group containing the niced task to be the busiest group. - find_busiest_queue() will then always pick one of the cpus running the nice0 task (never picks the cpu with the nice -15 task since weighted_cpuload > imbalance). - The load balancer fails to migrate the task since it is the running task and increments sd->nr_balance_failed. - It repeats the above steps a few more times until sd->nr_balance_failed > 5, at which point it kicks off the active load balancer, wakes up the migration thread and kicks the nice 0 task off the cpu. The load balancer doesn't stop until we kick out all nice 0 tasks from the sched group, leaving you with 3 idle cpus and one cpu running the nice -15 task. When balancing at the NUMA domain, we drop sgs.group_capacity to 1 if the child domain (in this case MC) has SD_PREFER_SIBLING set. Subsequent load checks are not relevant because the niced task has a very large weight. In this patch, we add an extra condition to the "if(prefer_sibling)" check in update_sd_lb_stats(). We drop the capacity of a group only if the local group has extra capacity, ie. nr_running < group_capacity. This patch preserves the original intent of the prefer_siblings check (to spread tasks across the system in low utilization scenarios) and fixes the case above. It helps in the following ways: - In low utilization cases (where nr_tasks << nr_cpus), we still drop group_capacity down to 1 if we prefer siblings. - On very busy systems (where nr_tasks >> nr_cpus), sgs.nr_running will most likely be > sgs.group_capacity. - When balancing large weight tasks, if the local group does not have extra capacity, we do not pick the group with the niced task as the busiest group.

sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman. This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level. Some cores like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads. In the case of POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are idle. When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since they share less core resources. Hence when we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones. This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the packing. This packing function is run on idle threads. It checks to see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run on. If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier thread as the busiest group to f_b_g(). Here we are assuming a lower CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number.

sched: Fix SCHED_MC regression caused by change in sched cpu_power On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc. Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated via this recent change: | | commit f93e65c186ab3c05ce2068733ca10e34fd00125e | Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> | Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:32 2009 +0200 | | sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power | Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance (default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies. We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how much load to move etc. Reported-by: Ma Ling <ling.ma@intel.com> Initial-Analysis-by: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> [ -v2: build fix ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # [2.6.32.x, 2.6.33.x] LKML-Reference: <1266970432.11588.22.camel@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman. This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level. Some cores like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads. In the case of POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are idle. When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since they share less core resources. Hence when we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones. This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the packing. This packing function is run on idle threads. It checks to see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run on. If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier thread as the busiest group to f_b_g(). Here we are assuming a lower CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number. It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at any scheduler domain level. It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling level. The default function doesn't enable this feature. Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra. Fixes from Srivatsa Vaddagiri.

sched: Use group weight, idle cpu metrics to fix imbalances during idle Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like: a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads), 24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu. b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and 16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy. While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct (by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an overloaded case. Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman. This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level. Some cores like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads. In the case of POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are idle. When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since they share less core resources. Hence when we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones. This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the packing. This packing function is run on idle threads. It checks to see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run on. If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier thread as the busiest group to f_b_g(). Here we are assuming a lower CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number. It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at any scheduler domain level. It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling level. The default function doesn't enable this feature. Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra. Fixes from Srivatsa Vaddagiri.

sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stop Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is scheduled is slightly messy. This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

sched: Fix erroneous all_pinned logic The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system. This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system. However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned tasks at all. The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level: load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process. Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes attempt to move load onto puller CPU. To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level. This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just last one in the list.

sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lb scheduler uses cache_nice_tries as an indicator to do cache_hot and active load balance, when normal load balance fails. Currently, this value is changed on any failed load balance attempt. That ends up being not so nice to workloads that enter/exit idle often, as they do more frequent new_idle balance and that pretty soon results in cache hot tasks being pulled in. Making the cache_nice_tries ignore failed new_idle balance seems to make better sense. With that only the failed load balance in periodic load balance gets accounted and the rate of accumulation of cache_nice_tries will not depend on idle entry/exit (short running sleep-wakeup kind of tasks). This reduces movement of cache_hot tasks. schedstat diff (after-before) excerpt from a workload that has frequent and short wakeup-idle pattern (:2 in cpu col below refers to NEWIDLE idx) This snapshot was across ~400 seconds.

The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

One tricky to note is that detach_destroy_domains() needs to hold rcu_read_lock() over the entire tear-down, per-cpu is not sufficient since that can lead to partial sched_group existance (could possibly be solved by doing the tear-down backwards but this is much more robust).

Another thing to note is that we now fully rely on normal RCU and not RCU-sched, this is because with the new and exiting RCU flavours we grew over the years BH doesn't necessarily hold off RCU-sched grace periods (-rt is known to break this).

All three roles are hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is scheduled is slightly messy. This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle, there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle system). And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load balancer CPU.

However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative position. To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.
