      sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE avg_update accounting · 239be4a9
      Dario Faggioli 提交于
      Make the core scheduler and load balancer aware of the load
      produced by -deadline tasks, by updating the moving average
      like for sched_rt.

      sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE SMP-related data structures & logic · 1baca4ce
      Juri Lelli 提交于
      Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic
      migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if
      runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing
      where a task should migrate, when it is the case.
      
      Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can
      be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a
      task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of
      migrating, or forbidding migrations at all.
      
      The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised:
       - -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues,
       - -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the
         following:
          * on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks
            are always running;
          * affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is
            always respected.
      
      Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with
      an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between
      runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled.
      IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent
      to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing
      (push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull
      the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU.
      
      To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any
      scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each
      scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives
      or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into
      account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline.
      E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake
      up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task
      with the latest deadline among the M executing ones.
      
      In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the
      deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used.
      Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to
      speed-up pushes.

      sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE structures & implementation · aab03e05
      Dario Faggioli 提交于
      Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for
      SCHED_DEADLINE implementation.
      
      Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their
      initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy
      are also added where they are needed.
      
      Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called
      SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline
      First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called
      Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate
      the behaviour of tasks between each other.
      
      The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase
      (instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The
      expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's
      runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed
      is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline
      is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an
      instance) activates plus the relative deadline.
      
      The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute
      deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each
      task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline
      length time interval, avoiding any interference between different
      tasks (bandwidth isolation).
      Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with
      the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new
      policy.
      
      To summarize, this patch:
       - introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed;
       - implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new
         scheduling class file;
       - provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and
         the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl
         and the other existing scheduling classes.
