With multiple instances of task_groups, for_each_rt_rq() is a noop, no task groups having been added to the rt.c list instance.

On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32 internally.

Otherwise they can't be filtered for a defined task: perf record -e sched:sched_switch ./foo This command doesn't report any events without this patch. I think it isn't a security concern if someone knows who will be executed next - this can already be observed by polling /proc state. By default perf is disabled for non-root users in any case. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d109 ("sched: Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he found the reason to be that the multiple task_group() invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values. Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty, but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup stuff works.

Traversing an entire package is not only expensive, it also leads to tasks bouncing all over a partially idle and possible quite large package. Fix that up by assigning a 'buddy' CPU to try to motivate.

Separate out the cpuset related handling for CPU/Memory online/offline. This also helps us exploit the most obvious and basic level of optimization that any notification mechanism (CPU/Mem online/offline) has to offer us: "We *know* why we have been invoked. So stop pretending that we are lost, and do only the necessary amount of processing!". And while at it, rename scan_for_empty_cpusets() to scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug(), which is more appropriate considering how it is restructured. Signed-off-by: NSrivatsa S.

由 Srivatsa S. Bhat 提交于
In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations. However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to exactly the same state it was in before suspend. In order to achieve that, do the following: 1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all. In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the suspend/resume path. 2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.) 3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in before suspend. Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code: - If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a negative bias because we can negate our own sample. - If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias because we push the sample to a known active period. So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding copious documentation to the code.

It does not get processed because sched_domain_level_max is 0 at the time that setup_relax_domain_level() is run. Simply accept the value as it is, as we don't know the value of sched_domain_level_max until sched domain construction is completed. Fix sched_relax_domain_level in cpuset. The build_sched_domain() routine calls the set_domain_attribute() routine prior to setting the sd->level, however, the set_domain_attribute() routine relies on the sd->level to decide whether idle load balancing will be off/on.

Weird topologies can lead to asymmetric domain setups. This needs further consideration since these setups are typically non-minimal too.

Commit cb83b629 ("sched/numa: Rewrite the CONFIG_NUMA sched domain support") removed the NODE sched domain and started checking if the node distance in SLIT table is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE, if so, it will lose the load balance chance at exec/fork/wake_affine points. But actually, even the node distance is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE. Modern CPUs also has QPI like connections, which ensures that memory access is not too slow between nodes. So the above change in behavior on NUMA machine causes a performance regression on various benchmarks: hackbench, tbench, netperf, oltp, etc. This patch will recover the scheduler behavior to old mode on all my Intel platforms: NHM EP/EX, WSM EP, SNB EP/EP4S, and thus fixes the perfromance regressions.

SD_OVERLAP exists to allow overlapping groups, overlapping groups appear in NUMA topologies that aren't fully connected. The typical result of not fully connected NUMA is that each cpu (or rather node) will have different spans for a particular distance. However due to how sched domains are traversed -- only the first cpu in the mask goes one level up -- the next level only cares about the spans of the cpus that went up. Due to this two things were observed to be broken: - build_overlap_sched_groups() -- since its possible the cpu we're building the groups for exists in multiple (or all) groups, the selection criteria of the first group didn't ensure there was a cpu for which is was true that cpumask_first(span) == cpu. Thus load- balancing would terminate. - update_group_power() -- assumed that the cpu span of the first group of the domain was covered by all groups of the child domain. The above explains why this isn't true, so deal with it.

Follow up on commit 556061b0 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the mostly idle case. Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[] array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit. So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

This reverts commit cb04ff9a ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from.

It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ... so remove it to make space free for something better. There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to master and almost nobody does. Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads. So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs on every node of the topology. There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single 3 state knob: sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto } where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no progress on it in the past many months. Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable state. Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring people who care to come forward once again and work on a coherent replacement.

While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed by a catchup of 2 ticks. The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to be. The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies. This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from the tick.

Patches c22402a2 ("sched/fair: Let minimally loaded cpu balance the group") and 0ce90475 ("sched/fair: Add some serialization to the sched_domain load-balance walk") are horribly broken so revert them. The problem is that while it sounds good to have the minimally loaded cpu do the pulling of more load, the way we walk the domains there is absolutely no guarantee this cpu will actually get to the domain. In fact its very likely it wont. Therefore the higher up the tree we get, the less likely it is we'll balance at all. The first of mask always walks up, while sucky in that it accumulates load on the first cpu and needs extra passes to spread it out at least guarantees a cpu gets up that far and load-balancing happens at all. Since its now always the first and idle cpus should always be able to balance so they get a task as fast as possible we can also do away with the added serialization.

We can easily use a single callback for both sched-in and sched-out.

The current code groups up to 16 nodes in a level and then puts an ALLNODES domain spanning the entire tree on top of that. This doesn't reflect the numa topology and esp for the smaller not-fully-connected machines out there today this might make a difference. Therefore, build a proper numa topology based on node_distance(). Since there's no fixed numa layers anymore, the static SD_NODE_INIT and SD_ALLNODES_INIT aren't usable anymore, the new code tries to construct something similar and scales some values either on the number of cpus in the domain and/or the node_distance() ratio.

If we have one cpu that failed to boot and boot cpu gave up on waiting for it and then another cpu is being booted, kernel might crash with following OOPS: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: [<ffffffff812c3630>] __bitmap_weight+0x30/0x80 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8108b9b6>] build_sched_domains+0x7b6/0xa50 The crash happens in init_sched_groups_power() that expects sched_groups to be circular linked list. However it is not always true, since sched_groups preallocated in __sdt_alloc are initialized in build_sched_groups and it may exit early if (cpu != cpumask_first(sched_domain_span(sd))) return 0; without initializing sd->groups->next field. Fix bug by initializing next field right after sched_group was allocated.

Currently, PREEMPT_RCU readers are enqueued upon entry to the scheduler. This is inefficient because enqueuing is required only if there is a context switch, and entry to the scheduler does not guarantee a context switch. The commit therefore moves the enqueuing to immediately precede the call to switch_to() from the scheduler. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic infrastructure for it. Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via __cpu_up(). Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.
