I found that on my WSM box I had a redundant domain: [ 0.949769] CPU0 attaching sched-domain: [ 0.953765] domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING [ 0.958335] groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588) [ 0.964548] domain 1: span 0-5,12-17 level MC [ 0.969206] groups: 0,12 (cpu_power = 1175) 1,13 (cpu_power = 1176) 2,14 (cpu_power = 1176) 3,15 (cpu_power = 1176) 4,16 (cpu_power = 1176) 5,17 (cpu_power = 1176) [ 0.984993] domain 2: span 0-5,12-17 level CPU [ 0.989822] groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) [ 0.995049] domain 3: span 0-23 level NUMA [ 0.999620] groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) 6-11,18-23 (cpu_power = 7056) Note how domain 2 has only a single group and spans the same CPUs as domain 1. We should not keep such domains and do in fact have code to prune these. It turns out that the 'new' SD_PREFER_SIBLING flag causes this, it makes sd_parent_degenerate() fail on the CPU domain. We can easily fix this by 'ignoring' the SD_PREFER_SIBLING bit and transfering it to whatever domain ends up covering the span. With this patch the domains now look like this: [ 0.950419] CPU0 attaching sched-domain: [ 0.954454] domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING [ 0.959039] groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588) [ 0.965271] domain 1: span 0-5,12-17 level MC [ 0.969936] groups: 0,12 (cpu_power = 1175) 1,13 (cpu_power = 1176) 2,14 (cpu_power = 1176) 3,15 (cpu_power = 1176) 4,16 (cpu_power = 1176) 5,17 (cpu_power = 1176) [ 0.985737] domain 2: span 0-23 level NUMA [ 0.990231] groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) 6-11,18-23 (cpu_power = 7056) Reviewed-by: NPaul Turner <pjt@google.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ys201g4jwukj0h8xcamakxq1@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Now checking whether this cpu is appropriate to balance or not is embedded into update_sg_lb_stats() and this checking has no direct relationship to this function. There is not enough reason to place this checking at update_sg_lb_stats(), except saving one iteration for sched_group_cpus. In this patch, I factor out this checking to should_we_balance() function. And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately. With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better compiler optimization.

This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); schedule(); can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition, it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending). However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with "if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section. The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already does by the same reason. We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(), for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change the default implementation. While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers. Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for prepare_to_wait().

cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state) from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp. The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup. Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods for rationale. This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of @cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the previous patch and can be converted the same way. Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some interesting ones. * freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler too once iterators are converted to use css. * memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static. Updated accordingly. * cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left. Removed.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup * in subsystem implementations for the following reasons. * With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup, which is different from the current state where all css's are allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits much better. This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few noteworthy changes are * ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing subsystems. * In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css dereference is replaced with local variable access. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences. v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan. Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12ca ("cgroup: fix a leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses. This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy. freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent directly. * __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with css's. All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially optimize out the branch. * blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such accessor. Added. * memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly handle NULL input. Updated. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: NLi Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors - cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward. The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even indicate it's somehow related to cgroup. We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache. Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state() to task_css(). This patch is pure rename. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: NLi Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

We typically update a task_group's shares within the dequeue/enqueue path. However, continuously running tasks sharing a CPU are not subject to these updates as they are only put/picked. Unfortunately, when we reverted f269ae04 (in 17bc14b7), we lost the augmenting periodic update that was supposed to account for this; resulting in a potential loss of fairness. To fix this, re-introduce the explicit update in update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() [called via entity_tick()].

Smart wake-affine is using node-size as the factor currently, but the overhead of the mask operation is high. Thus, this patch introduce the 'sd_llc_size' percpu variable, which will record the highest cache-share domain size, and make it to be the new factor, in order to reduce the overhead and make it more reasonable.

The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case. Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%. However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically. Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the benefit it brings in the best case. So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on. This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each time the task flips (switches) its wakee target. So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency. Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later, it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind 'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers. Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal. Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse. The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling work when: wakee->wakee_flips > factor && waker->wakee_flips > (factor * wakee->wakee_flips) The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node, so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more severe. After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions. Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7. The percentages in the final column highlight the areas with the biggest wins, all other areas improved as well: pgbench base smart | db_size | clients | tps | | tps | +---------+---------+-------+ +-------+ | 22 MB | 1 | 10598 | | 10796 | | 22 MB | 2 | 21257 | | 21336 | | 22 MB | 4 | 41386 | | 41622 | | 22 MB | 8 | 51253 | | 57932 | | 22 MB | 12 | 48570 | | 54000 | | 22 MB | 16 | 46748 | | 55982 | +19.75% | 22 MB | 24 | 44346 | | 55847 | +25.93% | 22 MB | 32 | 43460 | | 54614 | +25.66% | 7484 MB | 1 | 8951 | | 9193 | | 7484 MB | 2 | 19233 | | 19240 | | 7484 MB | 4 | 37239 | | 37302 | | 7484 MB | 8 | 46087 | | 50018 | | 7484 MB | 12 | 42054 | | 48763 | | 7484 MB | 16 | 40765 | | 51633 | +26.66% | 7484 MB | 24 | 37651 | | 52377 | +39.11% | 7484 MB | 32 | 37056 | | 51108 | +37.92% | 15 GB | 1 | 8845 | | 9104 | | 15 GB | 2 | 19094 | | 19162 | | 15 GB | 4 | 36979 | | 36983 | | 15 GB | 8 | 46087 | | 49977 | | 15 GB | 12 | 41901 | | 48591 | | 15 GB | 16 | 40147 | | 50651 | +26.16% | 15 GB | 24 | 37250 | | 52365 | +40.58% | 15 GB | 32 | 36470 | | 50015 | +37.14% Signed-off-by: NMichael Wang <wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/51D50057.9000809@linux.vnet.ibm.com [ Improved the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if there are many cpu cgroups in the system. Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b6466 ('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads, e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently. For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show: Cpu(s): 17.8%us, 24.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 57.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 243K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 7.08% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 6.13% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing in the root cpu cgroup: Cpu(s): 19.1%us, 48.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 31.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si Events: 230K cycles 24.56% [kernel] [k] tg_load_down 5.76% [kernel] [k] __schedule This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle' rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(), which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks to pull. This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load(). For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate. The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's, which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped. Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate. After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get: Cpu(s): 16.9%us, 24.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 58.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 242K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 6.70% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 5.93% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Signed-off-by: NVladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1373896159-1278-1-git-send-email-vdavydov@parallels.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

David reported that the HRTICK sched feature was borken; which was enough motivation for me to finally fix it ;-) We should not allow hrtimer code to do softirq wakeups while holding scheduler locks. The hrtimer code only needs this when we accidentally try to program an expired time. We don't much care about those anyway since we have the regular tick to fall back to.

When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account) increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting. However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop signal->cputimer accounting. This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

They are the base values in load balance, update them with rq runnable load average, then the load balance will consider runnable load avg naturally. We also try to include the blocked_load_avg as cpu load in balancing, but that cause kbuild performance drop 6% on every Intel machine, and aim7/oltp drop on some of 4 CPU sockets machines. Or only add blocked_load_avg into get_rq_runable_load, hackbench still drop a little on NHM EX.
