      rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasks · 9b2e4f18
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness
by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y.  But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side
critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing.  A more
fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required.

This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service,
so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is
always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration.  Similarly,
rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked
at the end of an idle-loop iteration.  This allows the idle task to
use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and
rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to
specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used.

Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks
to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that
the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts.  This
patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits
and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions
and interrupt entry/exit transitions.  It is presumed that userspace
upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution
(though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall).
The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which
avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating.  Overflow
is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter.

This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter
idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying
Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246).
In addition, validation of ->dynticks and ->dynticks_nesting is added.

      hrtimers: Notify hrtimer users of switches to NOHZ mode · 2d0640b4
      由 Stephen Boyd 提交于 
      When NOHZ=y and high res timers are disabled (via cmdline or
Kconfig) tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() will notify the user about
switching into NOHZ mode. Nothing is printed for the case where
HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. Fix this for the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y case by
duplicating the printk from the low res NOHZ path in the high
res NOHZ path.

This confused me since I was thinking 'dmesg | grep -i NOHZ' would
tell me if NOHZ was enabled, but if I have hrtimers there is
nothing.

      sched: Change nohz idle load balancing logic to push model · 83cd4fe2
      由 Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于 
      In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
instead of the normal idle balance.

This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
* the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
  wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
  behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
* On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
  periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
  doing the timer broadcast.

Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
system).

And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
(as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.

For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
from an idle cpu.  This is good for power-savings anyway.

      sched: Rate-limit nohz · 39c0cbe2
      由 Mike Galbraith 提交于 
      Entering nohz code on every micro-idle is costing ~10% throughput for netperf
TCP_RR when scheduling cross-cpu.  Rate limiting entry fixes this, but raises
ticks a bit.  On my Q6600, an idle box goes from ~85 interrupts/sec to 128.

The higher the context switch rate, the more nohz entry costs.  With this patch
and some cycle recovery patches in my tree, max cross cpu context switch rate is
improved by ~16%, a large portion of which of which is this ratelimiting.

      nohz: Prevent clocksource wrapping during idle · 98962465
      由 Jon Hunter 提交于 
      The dynamic tick allows the kernel to sleep for periods longer than a
single tick, but it does not limit the sleep time currently. In the
worst case the kernel could sleep longer than the wrap around time of
the time keeping clock source which would result in losing track of
time.

Prevent this by limiting it to the safe maximum sleep time of the
current time keeping clock source. The value is calculated when the
clock source is registered.

      nohz: Reuse ktime in sub-functions of tick_check_idle. · eed3b9cf
      由 Martin Schwidefsky 提交于 
      On a system with NOHZ=y tick_check_idle calls tick_nohz_stop_idle and
tick_nohz_update_jiffies. Given the right conditions (ts->idle_active
and/or ts->tick_stopped) both function get a time stamp with ktime_get.
The same time stamp can be reused if both function require one.

On s390 this change has the additional benefit that gcc inlines the
tick_nohz_stop_idle function into tick_check_idle. The number of
instructions to execute tick_check_idle drops from 225 to 144
(without the ktime_get optimization it is 367 vs 215 instructions).

      NOHZ: update idle state also when NOHZ is inactive · fdc6f192
      由 Eero Nurkkala 提交于 
      Commit f2e21c96 had unfortunate side
effects with cpufreq governors on some systems.

If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor
all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle
accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors.

Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep
the idle time accounting correct in any case.

      [PATCH] idle cputime accounting · 79741dd3
      由 Martin Schwidefsky 提交于 
      The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

      nohz: suppress needless timer reprogramming · 00147449
      由 Woodruff, Richard 提交于 
      In my device I get many interrupts from a high speed USB device in a very
short period of time.  The system spends a lot of time reprogramming the
hardware timer which is in a slower timing domain as compared to the CPU. 
This results in the CPU spending a huge amount of time waiting for the
timer posting to be done.  All of this reprogramming is useless as the
wake up time has not changed.

As measured using ETM trace this drops my reprogramming penalty from
almost 60% CPU load down to 15% during high interrupt rate.  I can send
traces to show this.

Suppress setting of duplicate timer event when timer already stopped. 
Timer programming can be very costly and can result in long cpu stall/wait
times.

After a cpu was taken down during cpu hotplug (read: disabled for interrupts)
it still might have pending softirqs. However take_cpu_down makes sure
that the idle task will run next instead of ksoftirqd on the taken down cpu.
The idle task will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick which might warn about
pending softirqs just before the cpu kills itself completely.

However the pending softirqs on the dead cpu aren't a problem because they
will be moved to an online cpu during CPU_DEAD handling.

So make sure we warn only for online cpus.

      hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes · ca109491
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context

This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by
reducing the number of callback modes to 1.

This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq
context.

I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel
and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in
net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code.

Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs
disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a
periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time)
then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the
fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer
granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously
this needs a fix.

Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core
test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any
makes me certain :-)

      commit fb02fbc1 (NOHZ: restart tick
device from irq_enter())

solves the problem of stale jiffies when long running softirqs happen
in a long idle sleep period, but it has a major thinko in it:

When the interrupt which came in _is_ the timer interrupt which should
expire ts->sched_timer then we cancel and rearm the timer _before_ it
gets expired in hrtimer_interrupt() to the next period. That means the
call back function is not called. This game can go on for ever :(

Prevent this by making sure to only rearm the timer when the expiry
time is more than one tick_period away. Otherwise keep it running as
it is either already expired or will expiry at the right point to
update jiffies.

      NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter() · fb02fbc1
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double
reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case.

But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become
stale:

idle()
  tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer)
  halt()
   interrupt
     jiffies updated from irq_enter()
     interrupt handler
     softirq function 1 runs 20ms
     softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value
     jiffies updated from irq_exit()
     timer wheel has now an already expired timer
     (the one added in function 2)
     timer fires and timer softirq runs

This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only
when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a
softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.

To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do
not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from
idle when need_resched() is set.

      NOHZ: unify the nohz function calls in irq_enter() · 719254fa
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      We have two separate nohz function calls in irq_enter() for no good
reason. Just call a single NOHZ function from irq_enter() and call
the bits in the tick code.
