* sched/deadline: Delete extraneous extern for to_ratio()Paul Gortmaker2014-06-051-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a prototype for it added to kernel/sched/sched.h at the same time the extern was added, so the extern in the C file was never really ever needed. See commit 332ac17ef5bfcff4766dfdfd3b4cdf10b8f8f155 ("sched/deadline: Add bandwidth management for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks") for details.

* sched/idle: Optimize try-to-wake-up IPIPeter Zijlstra2014-06-053-9/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ 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.

* sched/idle: Clear polling before descheduling the idle threadAndy Lutomirski2014-06-051-1/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the only real guarantee provided by the polling bit is that, if you hold rq->lock and the polling bit is set, then you can set need_resched to force a reschedule. The only reason the lock is needed is that the idle thread might not be running at all when setting its need_resched bit, and rq->lock keeps it pinned. This is easy to fix: just clear the polling bit before scheduling. Now the idle thread's polling bit is only ever set when rq->curr == rq->idle.

* sched/balancing: Reduce the rate of needless idle load balancingTim Chen2014-06-051-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current no_hz idle load balancer do load balancing for *all* idle cpus, even though the time due to load balance for a particular idle cpu could be still a while in the future. This introduces a much higher load balancing rate than what is necessary. The patch changes the behavior by only doing idle load balancing on behalf of an idle cpu only when it is due for load balancing. On SGI's systems with over 3000 cores, the cpu responsible for idle balancing got overwhelmed with idle balancing, and introduces a lot of OS noise to workloads. This patch fixes the issue.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sched_cfs_period_timer() reads cfs_b->period without locks before calling do_sched_cfs_period_timer(), and similarly unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() would read cfs_b->period without the right lock. Thus a simultaneous change of bandwidth could cause corruption on any platform where ktime_t or u64 writes/reads are not atomic. Extend cfs_b->lock from do_sched_cfs_period_timer() to include the read of cfs_b->period to solve that issue; unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() can just use 1 rather than the exact quota, much like distribute_cfs_runtime() does. There is also an unlocked read of cfs_b->runtime_expires, but a race there would only delay runtime expiry by a tick.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the migrate_improves/degrades_locality() functions with knowledge of pseudo-interleaving. Do not consider moving tasks around within the set of group's active nodes as improving or degrading locality. Instead, leave the load balancer free to balance the load between a numa_group's active nodes. Also, switch from the group/task_weight functions to the group/task_fault functions. The "weight" functions involve a division, but both calls use the same divisor, so there's no point in doing that from these functions. On a 4 node (x10 core) system, performance of SPECjbb2005 seems unaffected, though the number of migrations with 2 8-warehouse wide instances seems to have almost halved, due to the scheduler running each instance on a single node.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes ->nr_running may cross 2 but interrupt is not being sent to rq's cpu. In this case we don't reenable the timer.

* sched: Fix the rq->next_balance logic in rebalance_domains() and idle_balance()Jason Low2014-05-221-23/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, in idle_balance(), we update rq->next_balance when we pull_tasks. However, it is also important to update this in the !pulled_tasks case too. When the CPU is "busy" (the CPU isn't idle), rq->next_balance gets computed using sd->busy_factor (so we increase the balance interval when the CPU is busy). However, when the CPU goes idle, rq->next_balance could still be set to a large value that was computed with the sd->busy_factor. Thus, we need to also update rq->next_balance in idle_balance() in the cases where !pulled_tasks too, so that rq->next_balance gets updated without taking the busy_factor into account when the CPU is about to go idle. This patch makes rq->next_balance get updated independently of whether or not we pulled_task. Also, we add logic to ensure that we always traverse at least 1 of the sched domains to get a proper next_balance value for updating rq->next_balance. Additionally, since load_balance() modifies the sd->balance_interval, we need to re-obtain the sched domain's interval after the call to load_balance() in rebalance_domains() before we update rq->next_balance. This patch adds and uses 2 new helper functions, update_next_balance() and get_sd_balance_interval() to update next_balance and obtain the sched domain's balance_interval.

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.

* sched: Call select_idle_sibling() when not affine_sdRik van Riel2014-05-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On smaller systems, the top level sched domain will be an affine domain, and select_idle_sibling is invoked for every SD_WAKE_AFFINE wakeup. This seems to be working well. On larger systems, with the node distance between far away NUMA nodes being > RECLAIM_DISTANCE, select_idle_sibling is only called if the waker and the wakee are on nodes less than RECLAIM_DISTANCE apart. This patch leaves in place the policy of not pulling the task across nodes on such systems, while fixing the issue that select_idle_sibling is not called at all in certain circumstances. The code will look for an idle CPU in the same CPU package as the CPU where the task ran previously.

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.

As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

Traces show timer interrupts happening every 4 seconds even when a userspace task is running on the CPU. /proc/timer_list also shows pending hrtimers have not run in over an hour, including the scheduler. Looking closer, decrementers_next_tb is getting set to 0xffffffffffffffff, and at that point we will never take a timer interrupt again. In __timer_interrupt() we set decrementers_next_tb to 0xffffffffffffffff and rely on ->event_handler to update it: *next_tb = ~(u64)0; if (evt->event_handler) evt->event_handler(evt); In this case ->event_handler is hrtimer_interrupt. This will eventually call back through the clockevents code with the next event to be programmed: static int decrementer_set_next_event(unsigned long evt, struct clock_event_device *dev) { /* Don't adjust the decrementer if some irq work is pending */ if (test_irq_work_pending()) return 0; __get_cpu_var(decrementers_next_tb) = get_tb_or_rtc() + evt; If irq work came in between these two points, we will return before updating decrementers_next_tb and we never process a timer interrupt again. This looks to have been introduced by 0215f7d8c53f (powerpc: Fix races with irq_work). Fix it by removing the early exit and relying on code later on in the function to force an early decrementer: /* We may have raced with new irq work */ if (test_irq_work_pending()) set_dec(1); Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.14+ Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
