      sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function · 4a0b2b4d
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
      functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
      by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
      passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
      and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
      
      I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
      machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
      
      I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
      huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.
      
      Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
      Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
      Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

      Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
      needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
      That however is fixed these days.
      
      Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
      wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
      about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
      hrtimer_start_on().
      
      However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
      from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
      that does seem to be supported, good.
      
      Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...
      
      Mihai reported test success as well.

      cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment (take 2) · e761b772
      Max Krasnyansky 提交于
      This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents
      scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going
      down.
      
      It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary
      domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling.
      
      Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order
      to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain
      reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in
      all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in
      cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too.
      Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various
      contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one).
      
      This not only boots but also easily handles
      	while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done
      and
      	while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done
      at the same time.
      (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing).
      
      Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing
      this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine.
      
      Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep,
      mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far.
      
      I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus'
      version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus.
      And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler
      code where it made sense (to me).

      I think we may have a race between try_to_wake_up() and
      migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu() when the later one
      may end up looping endlessly.
      
      Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is
      called so we may get a race between try_to_wake_up() and
      migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu(). The former one may push
      a task out of a dead CPU causing the later one to loop endlessly.

      sched: add avg-overlap support to RT tasks · 2087a1ad
      Gregory Haskins 提交于
      We have the notion of tracking process-coupling (a.k.a. buddy-wake) via
      the p->se.last_wake / p->se.avg_overlap facilities, but it is only used
      for cfs to cfs interactions.  There is no reason why an rt to cfs
      interaction cannot share in establishing a relationhip in a similar
      manner.
      
      Because PREEMPT_RT runs many kernel threads as FIFO priority, we often
      times have heavy interaction between RT threads waking CFS applications.
      This patch offers a substantial boost (50-60%+) in perfomance under those
      circumstances.

      sched: fix cpu hotplug · 79c53799
      Dmitry Adamushko 提交于
      the CPU hotplug problems (crashes under high-volume unplug+replug
      tests) seem to be related to migrate_dead_tasks().
      
      Firstly I added traces to see all tasks being migrated with
      migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks(). On my setup the problem
      pops up (the one with "se == NULL" in the loop of
      pick_next_task_fair()) shortly after the traces indicate that some has
      been migrated with migrate_dead_tasks()). btw., I can reproduce it
      much faster now with just a plain cpu down/up loop.
      
      [disclaimer] Well, unless I'm really missing something important in
      this late hour [/desclaimer] pick_next_task() is not something
      appropriate for migrate_dead_tasks() :-)
      
      the following change seems to eliminate the problem on my setup
      (although, I kept it running only for a few minutes to get a few
      messages indicating migrate_dead_tasks() does move tasks and the
      system is still ok)
