      sched/nohz: Remove the 1 Hz tick code · dcdedb24
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      Now that the 1Hz tick is offloaded to workqueues, we can safely remove
the residual code that used to handle it locally.

      sched/isolation: Offload residual 1Hz scheduler tick · d84b3131
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.

The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now
outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a
housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick()
implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely
as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter
and don't seem to be accessed locally.

Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to
affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation
"isolcpus=nohz,domain".

      sched/numa: Delay retrying placement for automatic NUMA balance after wake_affine() · 7347fc87
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      If wake_affine() pulls a task to another node for any reason and the node is
no longer preferred then temporarily stop automatic NUMA balancing pulling
the task back. Otherwise, tasks with a strong waker/wakee relationship
may constantly fight automatic NUMA balancing over where a task should
be placed.

Once again netperf is interesting here. The performance barely changes
but automatic NUMA balancing is interesting:

There is a slight degrading in performance but there are slightly fewer
NUMA faults. There is a large drop in the percentage of local faults but
the bulk of migrations for netperf are in small shared libraries so it's
reflecting the fact that automatic NUMA balancing has backed off. This is
a case where despite wake_affine() and automatic NUMA balancing fighting
for placement that there is a marginal benefit to rescheduling to local
data quickly. However, it should be noted that wake_affine() and automatic
NUMA balancing fighting each other constantly is undesirable.

However, the benefit in other cases is large. This is the result for NAS
with the D class sizing on a 4-socket machine:

Note the massive reduction in system CPU usage even though the percentage
of local faults is barely affected. There is a massive reduction in the
number of PTE updates showing that automatic NUMA balancing has backed off.
A critical observation is also that there is a massive reduction in minor
faults which is due to far fewer NUMA hinting faults being trapped.

There were questions on NAS OMP and how it behaved related to threads
being bound to CPUs. First, there are more gains than losses with this
patch applied and a reduction in system CPU usage:

However, it does not close the gap between binding and being unbound. There
is negligible difference between the performance of the baseline and a
patched kernel when threads are bound so it is not presented here:

Unfortunately, while performance is improved by the patch, there is still
quite a long way to go before it's equivalent to hard binding.

Other workloads like hackbench, tbench, dbench and schbench are barely
affected. dbench shows a mix of gains and losses depending on the machine
although in general, the results are more stable.

      sched/fair: Consider SD_NUMA when selecting the most idle group to schedule on · 2c833627
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      find_idlest_group() compares a local group with each other group to select
the one that is most idle. When comparing groups in different NUMA domains,
a very slight imbalance is enough to select a remote NUMA node even if the
runnable load on both groups is 0 or close to 0. This ignores the cost of
remote accesses entirely and is a problem when selecting the CPU for a
newly forked task to run on.  This is problematic when a forking server
is almost guaranteed to run on a remote node incurring numerous remote
accesses and potentially causing automatic NUMA balancing to try migrate
the task back or migrate the data to another node. Similar weirdness is
observed if a basic shell command pipes output to another as each process
in the pipeline is likely to start on different nodes and then get adjusted
later by wake_affine().

This patch adds imbalance to remote domains when considering whether to
select CPUs from remote domains. If the local domain is selected, imbalance
will still be used to try select a CPU from a lower scheduler domain's group
instead of stacking tasks on the same CPU.

A variety of workloads and machines were tested and as expected, there is no
difference on UMA. The difference on NUMA can be dramatic. This is a comparison
of elapsed times running the git regression test suite. It's fork-intensive with
short-lived processes:

That shows a considerable reduction in elapsed times. It's important to
note that automatic NUMA balancing does not affect this load as processes
are too short-lived.

There is also a noticable impact on hackbench such as this example using
processes and pipes:

It's not a universal win as there are occasions when spreading wide and
quickly is a benefit but it's more of a win than it is a loss. For other
workloads, there is little difference but netperf is interesting. Without
the patch, the server and client starts on different nodes but quickly get
migrated due to wake_affine. Hence, the difference is overall performance
is marginal but detectable:

However, what is very interesting is how automatic NUMA balancing behaves.
Each netperf instance runs long enough for balancing to activate:

 NUMA base PTE updates             4620        1473
 NUMA huge PMD updates                0           0
 NUMA page range updates           4620        1473
 NUMA hint faults                  4301        1383
 NUMA hint local faults            1309         451
 NUMA hint local percent             30          32
 NUMA pages migrated               1335         491
 AutoNUMA cost                      21%          6%

There is an unfortunate number of remote faults although tracing indicated
that the vast majority are in shared libraries. However, the tendency to
start tasks on the same node if there is capacity means that there were
far fewer PTE updates and faults incurred overall.

      sched/fair: Do not migrate due to a sync wakeup on exit · 24d0c1d6
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      When a task exits, it notifies the parent that it has exited. This is a
sync wakeup and the exiting task may pull the parent towards the wakers
CPU. For simple workloads like using a shell, it was observed that the
shell is pulled across nodes by exiting processes. This is daft as the
parent may be long-lived and properly placed. This patch special cases a
sync wakeup on exit to avoid pulling tasks across nodes. Testing on a range
of workloads and machines showed very little differences in performance
although there was a small 3% boost on some machines running a shellscript
intensive workload (git regression test suite).

      sched/fair: Do not migrate on wake_affine_weight() if weights are equal · 082f764a
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      wake_affine_weight() will consider migrating a task to, or near, the current
CPU if there is a load imbalance. If the CPUs share LLC then either CPU
is valid as a search-for-idle-sibling target and equally appropriate for
stacking two tasks on one CPU if an idle sibling is unavailable. If they do
not share cache then a cross-node migration potentially impacts locality
so while they are equal from a CPU capacity point of view, they are not
equal in terms of memory locality. In either case, it's more appropriate
to migrate only if there is a difference in their effective load.

This patch modifies wake_affine_weight() to only consider migrating a task
if there is a load imbalance for normal wakeups but will allow potential
stacking if the loads are equal and it's a sync wakeup.

For the most part, the different in performance is marginal. For example,
on a 4-socket server running netperf UDP_STREAM on localhost the differences
are as follows:

The difference in overall performance is marginal but note that most
measurements are less variable. There were similar observations for other
netperf comparisons. hackbench with sockets or threads with processes or
threads showed minor difference with some reduction of migration. tbench
showed only marginal differences that were within the noise. dbench,
regardless of filesystem, showed minor differences all of which are
within noise. Multiple machines, both UMA and NUMA were tested without
any regressions showing up.

The biggest risk with a patch like this is affecting wakeup latencies.
However, the schbench load from Facebook which is very sensitive to wakeup
latency showed a mixed result with mostly improvements in wakeup latency:

      sched/fair: Use a recently used CPU as an idle candidate and the basis for SIS · 32e839dd
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      The select_idle_sibling() (SIS) rewrite in commit:

  10e2f1ac ("sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()")

... replaced a domain iteration with a search that broadly speaking
does a wrapped walk of the scheduler domain sharing a last-level-cache.

While this had a number of improvements, one consequence is that two tasks
that share a waker/wakee relationship push each other around a socket. Even
though two tasks may be active, all cores are evenly used. This is great from
a search perspective and spreads a load across individual cores, but it has
adverse consequences for cpufreq. As each CPU has relatively low utilisation,
cpufreq may decide the utilisation is too low to used a higher P-state and
overall computation throughput suffers.

While individual cpufreq and cpuidle drivers may compensate by artifically
boosting P-state (at c0) or avoiding lower C-states (during idle), it does
not help if hardware-based cpufreq (e.g. HWP) is used.

This patch tracks a recently used CPU based on what CPU a task was running
on when it last was a waker a CPU it was recently using when a task is a
wakee. During SIS, the recently used CPU is used as a target if it's still
allowed by the task and is idle.

The benefit may be non-obvious so consider an example of two tasks
communicating back and forth. Task A may be an application doing IO where
task B is a kworker or kthread like journald. Task A may issue IO, wake
B and B wakes up A on completion.  With the existing scheme this may look
like the following (potentially different IDs if SMT is in use but similar
principal applies).

 A (cpu 0)	wake	B (wakes on cpu 1)
 B (cpu 1)	wake	A (wakes on cpu 2)
 A (cpu 2)	wake	B (wakes on cpu 3)
 etc.

A careful reader may wonder why CPU 0 was not idle when B wakes A the
first time and it's simply due to the fact that A can be rescheduled to
another CPU and the pattern is that prev == target when B tries to wakeup A
and the information about CPU 0 has been lost.

With this patch, the pattern is more likely to be:

 A (cpu 0)	wake	B (wakes on cpu 1)
 B (cpu 1)	wake	A (wakes on cpu 0)
 A (cpu 0)	wake	B (wakes on cpu 1)
 etc

i.e. two communicating casts are more likely to use just two cores instead
of all available cores sharing a LLC.

The most dramatic speedup was noticed on dbench using the XFS filesystem on
UMA as clients interact heavily with workqueues in that configuration. Note
that a similar speedup is not observed on ext4 as the wakeup pattern
is different:

 Hmean     64     1455.57 (   0.00%)     1434.68 (  -1.44%)

The results can be less dramatic on NUMA where automatic balancing interferes
with the test. It's also known that network benchmarks running on localhost
also benefit quite a bit from this patch (roughly 10% on netperf RR for UDP
and TCP depending on the machine). Hackbench also seens small improvements
(6-11% depending on machine and thread count). The facebook schbench was also
tested but in most cases showed little or no different to wakeup latencies.

      sched/fair: Do not migrate if the prev_cpu is idle · 806486c3
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      wake_affine_idle() prefers to move a task to the current CPU if the
wakeup is due to an interrupt. The expectation is that the interrupt
data is cache hot and relevant to the waking task as well as avoiding
a search. However, there is no way to determine if there was cache hot
data on the previous CPU that may exceed the interrupt data. Furthermore,
round-robin delivery of interrupts can migrate tasks around a socket where
each CPU is under-utilised.  This can interact badly with cpufreq which
makes decisions based on per-cpu data. It has been observed on machines
with HWP that p-states are not boosted to their maximum levels even though
the workload is latency and throughput sensitive.

This patch uses the previous CPU for the task if it's idle and cache-affine
with the current CPU even if the current CPU is idle due to the wakup
being related to the interrupt. This reduces migrations at the cost of
the interrupt data not being cache hot when the task wakes.

A variety of workloads were tested on various machines and no adverse
impact was noticed that was outside noise. dbench on ext4 on UMA showed
roughly 10% reduction in the number of CPU migrations and it is a case
where interrupts are frequent for IO competions. In most cases, the
difference in performance is quite small but variability is often
reduced. For example, this is the result for pgbench running on a UMA
machine with different numbers of clients.

      sched/rt: Up the root domain ref count when passing it around via IPIs · 364f5665
      由 Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于 
      When issuing an IPI RT push, where an IPI is sent to each CPU that has more
than one RT task scheduled on it, it references the root domain's rto_mask,
that contains all the CPUs within the root domain that has more than one RT
task in the runable state. The problem is, after the IPIs are initiated, the
rq->lock is released. This means that the root domain that is associated to
the run queue could be freed while the IPIs are going around.

Add a sched_get_rd() and a sched_put_rd() that will increment and decrement
the root domain's ref count respectively. This way when initiating the IPIs,
the scheduler will up the root domain's ref count before releasing the
rq->lock, ensuring that the root domain does not go away until the IPI round
is complete.

      sched/rt: Use container_of() to get root domain in rto_push_irq_work_func() · ad0f1d9d
      由 Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于 
      When the rto_push_irq_work_func() is called, it looks at the RT overloaded
bitmask in the root domain via the runqueue (rq->rd). The problem is that
during CPU up and down, nothing here stops rq->rd from changing between
taking the rq->rd->rto_lock and releasing it. That means the lock that is
released is not the same lock that was taken.

Instead of using this_rq()->rd to get the root domain, as the irq work is
part of the root domain, we can simply get the root domain from the irq work
that is passed to the routine:

 container_of(work, struct root_domain, rto_push_work)

This keeps the root domain consistent.

      Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim

Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
going back to user-space). They should then select
ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
their architecture.

Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that
they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space,
or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

      membarrier: Provide GLOBAL_EXPEDITED command · c5f58bd5
      由 Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于 
      Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
through shared memory.

Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.

There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
compatibility.

      由 Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于 
      Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.

Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:

It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.

It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.

Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

      delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task · c96f5471
      由 Josh Snyder 提交于 
      Before commit:

  e33a9bba ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler")

delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which
completed I/O.

This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting
for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue.

With e33a9bba, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up().
In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that
the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.

But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet
context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the
wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated.

Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(),
so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.
