      This weird perf trace output:

Is caused by setting one component field of the delta to zero
a bit too early. Move it to later.

( Note, this does not affect the NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS interactivity bug,
  it's just a reporting bug in essence. )

      sched: Disable NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS for now · 3f2aa307
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Nikos Chantziaras and Jens Axboe reported that turning off
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS improves desktop interactivity visibly.

Nikos described his experiences the following way:

  " With this setting, I can do "nice -n 19 make -j20" and
    still have a very smooth desktop and watch a movie at
    the same time.  Various other annoyances (like the
    "logout/shutdown/restart" dialog of KDE not appearing
    at all until the background fade-out effect has finished)
    are also gone.  So this seems to be the single most
    important setting that vastly improves desktop behavior,
    at least here. "

Jens described it the following way, referring to a 10-seconds
xmodmap scheduling delay he was trying to debug:

  " Then I tried switching NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS on, and then
    I get:

    Performance counter stats for 'xmodmap .xmodmap-carl':

         9.009137  task-clock-msecs         #      0.447 CPUs
               18  context-switches         #      0.002 M/sec
                1  CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec

    0.020167093  seconds time elapsed

    Woot! "

So disable it for now. In perf trace output i can see weird
delta timestamps:

  cc1-9943  [001]  2802.059479616: sched_stat_wait: task: as:9944 wait: 2801938766276 [ns]

That nsec field is not supposed to be that large. More digging
is needed - but lets turn it off while the real bug is found.

      sched: Ensure that a child can't gain time over it's parent after fork() · b5d9d734
      由 Mike Galbraith 提交于 
      A fork/exec load is usually "pass the baton", so the child
should never be placed behind the parent.  With START_DEBIT we
make room for the new task, but with child_runs_first, that
room comes out of the _parent's_ hide. There's nothing to say
that the parent wasn't ahead of min_vruntime at fork() time,
which means that the "baton carrier", who is essentially the
parent in drag, can gain time and increase scheduling latencies
for waiters.

With NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS + START_DEBIT + child_runs_first
enabled, we essentially pass the sleeper fairness off to the
child, which is fine, but if we don't base placement on the
parent's updated vruntime, we can end up compounding latency
woes if the child itself then does fork/exec.  The debit
incurred at fork doesn't hurt the parent who is then going to
sleep and maybe exit, but the child who acquires the error
harms all comers.

This improves latencies of make -j<n> kernel build workloads.

      wake_affine() would always fail under low-load situations where
both prev and this were idle, because adding a single task will
always be a significant imbalance, even if there's nothing
around that could balance it.

Deal with this by allowing imbalance when there's nothing you

      ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed · 85bac32c

      Since the ability to swap the cpu buffers adds a small overhead to
the recording of a trace, we only want to add it when needed.

Only the irqsoff and preemptoff tracers use this feature, and both are
not recommended for production kernels. This patch disables its use
when neither irqsoff nor preemptoff is configured.

      Because the irqsoff tracer can swap an internal CPU buffer, it is possible
that a swap happens between the start of the write and before the committing

      tracing: report error in trace if we fail to swap latency buffer · e8165dbb
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The irqsoff tracer will fail to swap the cpu buffer with the max
buffer if it preempts a commit. Instead of ignoring this, this patch
makes the tracer report it if the last max latency failed due to preempting
a current commit.

The output of the latency tracer will look like this:

      tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer · e77405ad
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

      tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces · 2f26ebd5
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.

The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing
after the bug is hit.

Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.

Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

      The predicates of an event and their filter structure are allocated

These objects must be created once but each time we come with a new
filter, we overwrite such pre-existing allocation, if any.

Thus, this patch checks if the filter has already been allocated
before going ahead.

      tracing: remove users of tracing_reset · 76f0d073
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.

The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.

The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.

This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

      During development of the tracer, we would copy information from

Unfortunately, we never copied the critical section information, and
we lost the output:

removes the unused "trace_idx" and "overrun" fields of the

      ring-buffer: disable all cpu buffers when one finds a problem · 077c5407

      Currently the way RB_WARN_ON works, is to disable either the current
CPU buffer or all CPU buffers, depending on whether a ring_buffer or
ring_buffer_per_cpu struct was passed into the macro.

Most users of the RB_WARN_ON pass in the CPU buffer, so only the one
CPU buffer gets disabled but the rest are still active. This may
confuse users even though a warning is sent to the console.

This patch changes the macro to disable the entire buffer even if
the CPU buffer is passed in.

      ring-buffer: do not count discarded events · a1863c21
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The latency tracers report the number of items in the trace buffer.
This uses the ring buffer data to calculate this. Because discarded
events are also counted, the numbers do not match the number of items
that are printed. The ring buffer also adds a "padding" item to the
end of each buffer page which also gets counted as a discarded item.

This patch decrements the counter to the page entries on a discard.
This allows us to ignore discarded entries while reading the buffer.

Decrementing the counter is still safe since it can only happen while
the committing flag is still set.
