We currently run class->post_schedule() outside of the rq->lock, which means that we need to test for the need to post_schedule outside of the lock to avoid a forced reacquistion. This is currently not a problem as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule() may do). We will use this later in the series [ rostedt: removed paranoid BUG_ON ] Signed-off-by: NGregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

double_lock balance() currently favors logically lower cpus since they often do not have to release their own lock to acquire a second lock. The result is that logically higher cpus can get starved when there is a lot of pressure on the RQs. This can result in higher latencies on higher cpu-ids. This patch makes the algorithm more fair by forcing all paths to have to release both locks before acquiring them again. Since callsites to double_lock_balance already consider it a potential preemption/reschedule point, they have the proper logic to recheck for atomicity violations.

git-id c4acb2c0 attempted to limit newidle critical section length by stopping after at least one task was moved. Further investigation has shown that there are other paths nested further inside the algorithm which still remain that allow long latencies to occur with newidle balancing. This patch applies the same technique inside balance_tasks() to limit the duration of this optional balancing operation.

There is no sense in wasting time trying to push a task away that cannot move anywhere else. We gain no benefit from trying to push other tasks at this point, so if the task being woken up is non migratable, just skip the whole operation. This reduces overhead in the wakeup path for certain tasks. Signed-off-by: NGregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

We currently take the rq->lock for every cpu in an overload state during pull_rt_tasks(). However, we now have enough information via the highest_prio.[curr|next] fields to determine if there is any tasks of interest to warrant the overhead of the rq->lock, before we actually take it. So we use this information to reduce lock contention during the pull for the case where the source-rq doesnt have tasks that preempt the current task.

highest_prio.curr is actually a more accurate way to keep track of the pull_rt_task() threshold since it is always up to date, even if the "next" task migrates during double_lock. Therefore, stop looking at the "next" task object and simply use the highest_prio.curr. Signed-off-by: NGregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

Impact: change task balancing to save power more agressively Add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag at MC level and CPU level if sched_mc is set. This helps power savings and will not affect performance when sched_mc=0 Ingo and Mike Galbraith have optimised the SD flags by removing SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level.

Impact: tweak task balancing to save power more agressively Active load balancing is a process by which migration thread is woken up on the target CPU in order to pull current running task on another package into this newly idle package. This method is already in use with normal load_balance(), this patch introduces this method to new idle cpus when sched_mc is set to POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP. This logic provides effective consolidation of short running daemon jobs in a almost idle system The side effect of this patch may be ping-ponging of tasks if the system is moderately utilised. May need to adjust the iterations before triggering.

Impact: tweak task wakeup to save power more agressively Preferred wakeup cpu (from a semi idle package) has been nominated in find_busiest_group() in the previous patch. Use this information in sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu in function wake_idle() to bias task wakeups if the following conditions are satisfied: - The present cpu that is trying to wakeup the process is idle and waking the target process on this cpu will potentially wakeup a completely idle package - The previous cpu on which the target process ran is also idle and hence selecting the previous cpu may wakeup a semi idle cpu package - The task being woken up is allowed to run in the nominated cpu (cpu affinity and restrictions) Basically if both the current cpu and the previous cpu on which the task ran is idle, select the nominated cpu from semi idle cpu package for running the new task that is waking up. Cache hotness is considered since the actual biasing happens in wake_idle() only if the application is cache cold. This technique will effectively move short running bursty jobs in a mostly idle system. Wakeup biasing for power savings gets automatically disabled if system utilisation increases due to the fact that the probability of finding both this_cpu and prev_cpu idle decreases.

Impact: extend load-balancing code (no change in behavior yet) When the system utilisation is low and more cpus are idle, then the process waking up from sleep should prefer to wakeup an idle cpu from semi-idle cpu package (multi core package) rather than a completely idle cpu package which would waste power. Use the sched_mc balance logic in find_busiest_group() to nominate a preferred wakeup cpu. This info can be stored in appropriate sched_domain, but updating this info in all copies of sched_domain is not practical. Hence this information is stored in root_domain struct which is one copy per partitioned sched domain. The root_domain can be accessed from each cpu's runqueue and there is one copy per partitioned sched domain.

Impact: change load-balancing direction to match that of irqbalanced Just in case two groups have identical load, prefer to move load to lower logical cpu number rather than the present logic of moving to higher logical number. find_busiest_group() tries to look for a group_leader that has spare capacity to take more tasks and freeup an appropriate least loaded group. Just in case there is a tie and the load is equal, then the group with higher logical number is favoured. This conflicts with user space irqbalance daemon that will move interrupts to lower logical number if the system utilisation is very low.

Impact: extend range of /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings Currently the sched_mc/smt_power_savings variable is a boolean, which either enables or disables topology based power savings. This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to multivalued, such that based on the value, we decide how aggressively do we want to perform powersavings balance at appropriate sched domain based on topology. Variable levels of power saving tunable would benefit end user to match the required level of power savings vs performance trade-off depending on the system configuration and workloads. This version makes the sched_mc_power_savings global variable to take more values (0,1,2). Later versions can have a single tunable called sched_power_savings instead of sched_{mc,smt}_power_savings.

Impact: fix potential APIC crash In determining the destination apicid, there are usually three cpumasks that are considered: the incoming cpumask arg, cfg->domain and the cpu_online_mask. Since we are just introducing the cpu_mask_to_apicid_and function, make sure it includes the cpu_online_mask in it's evaluation. [Added with this patch.] There are two io_apic.c functions that did not previously use the cpu_online_mask: setup_IO_APIC_irq and msi_compose_msg. Both of these simply used cpu_mask_to_apicid(cfg->domain & TARGET_CPUS), and all but one arch (NUMAQ[*]) returns only online cpus in the TARGET_CPUS mask, so the behavior is identical for all cases. [*: NUMAQ bug?] Note that alloc_cpumask_var is only used for the 32-bit cases where it's highly likely that the cpumask set size will be small and therefore CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n. But if that's not the case, failing the allocate will cause the same return value as the default. Signed-off-by: NMike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
