      sched: Fix division by zero - really · 34d76c41
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu
representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the
total weight of the sched domain.

Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the
weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and
calculating the ratio.

The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios,
this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the
individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent
set.

      perf_counter: Simplify and fix task migration counting · e5289d4a
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      The task migrations counter was causing rare and hard to decypher
memory corruptions under load. After a day of debugging and bisection
we found that the problem was introduced with:

  3f731ca6: perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter

Turning them off fixes the crashes. Incidentally, the whole
perf_counter_task_migration() logic can be done simpler as well,
by injecting a proper sw-counter event.

This cleanup also fixed the crashes. The precise failure mode is
not completely clear yet, but we are clearly not unhappy about
having a fix ;-)

      kthreads: simplify migration_thread() exit path · 371cbb38
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      Now that kthread_stop() can be used even if the task has already exited,
we can kill the "wait_to_die:" loop in migration_thread().  But we must
pin rq->migration_thread after creation.

Actually, I don't think CPU_UP_CANCELED or CPU_DEAD should wait for
->migration_thread exit.  Perhaps we can simplify this code a bit more.
migration_call() can set ->should_stop and forget about this thread.  But
we need a new helper in kthred.c for that.

      sched: Introduce SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK scheduling policy flag · ca94c442
      由 Lennart Poettering 提交于 
      This patch introduces a new flag SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK which can be passed
to the kernel via sched_setscheduler(), ORed in the policy parameter. If
set this will make sure that when the process forks a) the scheduling
priority is reset to DEFAULT_PRIO if it was higher and b) the scheduling
policy is reset to SCHED_NORMAL if it was either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.

Why have this?

Currently, if a process is real-time scheduled this will 'leak' to all
its child processes. For security reasons it is often (always?) a good
idea to make sure that if a process acquires RT scheduling this is
confined to this process and only this process. More specifically this
makes the per-process resource limit RLIMIT_RTTIME useful for security
purposes, because it makes it impossible to use a fork bomb to
circumvent the per-process RLIMIT_RTTIME accounting.

This feature is also useful for tools like 'renice' which can then
change the nice level of a process without having this spill to all its
child processes.

Why expose this via sched_setscheduler() and not other syscalls such as
prctl() or sched_setparam()?

prctl() does not take a pid parameter. Due to that it would be
impossible to modify this flag for other processes than the current one.

The struct passed to sched_setparam() can unfortunately not be extended
without breaking compatibility, since sched_setparam() lacks a size
parameter.

How to use this from userspace? In your RT program simply replace this:

  sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO, &param);

by this:

  sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO|SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK, &param);

      perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter · 3f731ca6
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This fixes the cpu migration software counter to count
correctly even when contexts get swapped from one task to
another.  Previously the cpu migration counts reported by perf
stat were bogus, ranging from negative to several thousand for
a single "lat_ctx 2 8 32" run.  With this patch the cpu
migration count reported for "lat_ctx 2 8 32" is almost always
between 35 and 44.

This fixes the problem by adding a call into the perf_counter
code from set_task_cpu when tasks are migrated.  This enables
us to use the generic swcounter code (with some modifications)
for the cpu migration counter.

This modifies the swcounter code to allow a NULL regs pointer
to be passed in to perf_swcounter_ctx_event() etc.  The cpu
migration counter does this because there isn't necessarily a
pt_regs struct for the task available.  In this case, the
counter will not have interrupt capability - but the migration
counter didn't have interrupt capability before, so this is no
loss.

      perf_counter: Initialize per-cpu context earlier on cpu up · f38b0820
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This arranges for perf_counter's notifier for cpu hotplug
operations to be called earlier than the migration notifier in
sched.c by increasing its priority to 20, compared to the 10
for the migration notifier.  The reason for doing this is that
a subsequent commit to convert the cpu migration counter to use
the generic swcounter infrastructure will add a call into the
perf_counter subsystem when tasks get migrated.  Therefore the
perf_counter subsystem needs a chance to initialize its per-cpu
data for the new cpu before it can get called from the
migration code.

This also adds a comment to the migration notifier noting that
its priority needs to be lower than that of the perf_counter
notifier.

      perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts · 564c2b21
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited
counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where
both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set
of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together.
In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to
count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to
go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating
the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task.

This optimizes the context switch in this situation.  Instead of
scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and
scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context
to the new task and keep using it without interruption.  The new
context gets transferred to the old task.  This means that both
tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case
is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on
this CPU or another CPU.

The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in
each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from.
To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding
or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a
generation number on each context which is incremented every time
a context is changed.  When a context is cloned we take a copy
of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are
equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same
generation number.  In order that the parent context pointer
remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent
context's reference count for each context cloned from it.

Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned
context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent
different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all
counters with prctl.  To account for this, we keep a count of the
number of enabled counters in each context.  Two contexts must have
the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent.

Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with
the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with
and without this patch series:

		-----Unmodified-----		With this patch series
Counters:	none	2 HW	4H+4S	none	2 HW	4H+4S

2 processes:
Average		3.44	6.45	11.24	3.12	3.39	3.60
St dev		0.04	0.04	0.13	0.05	0.17	0.19

8 processes:
Average		6.45	8.79	14.00	5.57	6.23	7.57
St dev		1.27	1.04	0.88	1.42	1.46	1.42

32 processes:
Average		5.56	8.43	13.78	5.28	5.55	7.15
St dev		0.41	0.47	0.53	0.54	0.57	0.81

The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of
lat_ctx.  The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any
counters.  The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat,
counting cycles and instructions.  The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run
under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters
(cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task
clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

      sched, timers: move calc_load() to scheduler · dce48a84
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems. 

The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.

Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

      * Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]:

This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current
idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs
are not migrated.

While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating
a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the
hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the
hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu.
So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the
next_event on the target cpu's clock_event_device.
