      timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls · 507e1231
      由 Heiko Carstens 提交于 
      When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.

So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.

In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11:

      timers: Framework for identifying pinned timers · 597d0275
      由 Arun R Bharadwaj 提交于 
      * Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]:

This patch creates a new framework for identifying cpu-pinned timers
and hrtimers.

This framework is needed because pinned timers are expected to fire on
the same CPU on which they are queued. So it is essential to identify
these and not migrate them, in case there are any.

For regular timers, the currently existing add_timer_on() can be used
queue pinned timers and subsequently mod_timer_pinned() can be used
to modify the 'expires' field.

For hrtimers, new modes HRTIMER_ABS_PINNED and HRTIMER_REL_PINNED are
added to queue cpu-pinned hrtimer.

[ tglx: use .._PINNED mode argument instead of creating tons of new
functions ]

      timers: add mod_timer_pending() · 74019224
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Impact: new timer API

Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:

introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.

(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)

This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.

Also while at it:

- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
  timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
  in __mod_timer().

- make the exports come straight after the function, as
  most other exports in timer.c already did.

- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
  users to mod_timer().

The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

      Add support for deferrable timers · 6e453a67
      由 Venki Pallipadi 提交于 
      Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally
when system is busy.  But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to
service this timer), when CPU is idle.  Instead, this timer will be
serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable
timer.

The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when
CPU is idle.  If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until
next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer
event for that routine.  This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy,
allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing
unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption.

This patch:

Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure.  It uses
last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable
timer flag.  __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable
timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up.

This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be
called in place of regular init_timer().

      [PATCH] Extend next_timer_interrupt() to use a reference jiffie · fd064b9b
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      For CONFIG_NO_HZ we need to calculate the next timer wheel event based on a
given jiffie value.  Extend the existing code to allow the extra 'now'
argument.  Provide a compability function for the existing implementations to
call the function with now == jiffies.  (This also solves the racyness of the
original code vs.  jiffies changing during the iteration.)

No functional changes to existing users of this infrastructure.

      [PATCH] round_jiffies infrastructure · 4c36a5de
      由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于 
      Introduce a round_jiffies() function as well as a round_jiffies_relative()
function.  These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second.
The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly
when" timers to happen at the same jiffy.

This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason;
with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU
sleep states and thus waste power.

The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from
waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines
there)

      [PATCH] timers: introduce try_to_del_timer_sync() · fd450b73
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      This patch splits del_timer_sync() into 2 functions.  The new one,
try_to_del_timer_sync(), returns -1 when it hits executing timer.

It can be used in interrupt context, or when the caller hold locks which
can prevent completion of the timer's handler.

NOTE.  Currently it can't be used in interrupt context in UP case, because
->running_timer is used only with CONFIG_SMP.

Should the need arise, it is possible to kill #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in
set_running_timer(), it is cheap.

      [PATCH] timers fixes/improvements · 55c888d6
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      This patch tries to solve following problems:

1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after
   del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck
   timer_pending().

2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine
   if the timer is running on that cpu.

   With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain
   del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for
   completion of the currently running timer.

   The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use
   add_timer_on().

3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself.

   If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently
   running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on
   CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1.

4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks
   at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers.

   The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not
   need memory barriers.

Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case
->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock
because ->base can be == NULL.

This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is
pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del()
when the timer is deleted.

The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized
in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the
tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied
to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked
too.

So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could
be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers).

When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list
(which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is
possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains
locked.

This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL,
locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same.

__mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base.
However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the
timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and
unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base,
and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not
possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed
while the timer's handler is running on the old base.

__run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear
pending flag.

So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect
whether it is running or not.

We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it.

We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb()
before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer()
did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add()
could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are
serialized through base->lock.

One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch
adds global

        struct timer_base_s {
                spinlock_t lock;
                struct timer_list *running_timer;
        } __init_timer_base;

which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s
struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base.

It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global
__init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first
time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates
to the local CPU.
