So after the CPU comes up again the delta calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the unsigned math: u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id()); steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time; So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat become stale. Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is 100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers. None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The prev_time values are still wrong. Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing. Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code). In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run. In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver. Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material, including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates, and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading ACPI tables from initrd. Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of traditional assorted fixes and cleanups. Specifics: - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for that purpose (Rafael Wysocki). - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar). - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Eric Biggers). - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe Franciosi). - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter). - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri Bhat). - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki). - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box, Colin Ian King). - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng). - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin Chaugule). - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla). - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory, Aleksey Makarov). - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat 255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan). - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt). - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES, intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul Gortmaker). - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid). - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu). - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin). - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes). - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties framework (Heikki Krogerus). - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in it (Jacob Pan). - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh Sengar). - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal). - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (182 commits) tools/power turbostat: bugfix: TDP MSRs print bits fixing tools/power turbostat: correct output for MSR_NHM_SNB_PKG_CST_CFG_CTL dump tools/power turbostat: call __cpuid() instead of __get_cpuid() tools/power turbostat: indicate SMX and SGX support tools/power turbostat: detect and work around syscall jitter tools/power turbostat: show GFX%rc6 tools/power turbostat: show GFXMHz tools/power turbostat: show IRQs per CPU tools/power turbostat: make fewer systems calls tools/power turbostat: fix compiler warnings tools/power turbostat: add --out option for saving output in a file tools/power turbostat: re-name "%Busy" field to "Busy%" tools/power turbostat: Intel Xeon x200: fix turbo-ratio decoding tools/power turbostat: Intel Xeon x200: fix erroneous bclk value tools/power turbostat: allow sub-sec intervals ACPI / APEI: ERST: Fixed leaked resources in erst_init ACPI / APEI: Fix leaked resources intel_pstate: Do not skip samples partially intel_pstate: Remove freq calculation from intel_pstate_calc_busy() intel_pstate: Move intel_pstate_calc_busy() into get_target_pstate_use_performance() ...

Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by order of priority: SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime SCHED_FIFO : Don't need the tick (no round-robin) SCHED_RR : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority for round robin (simplified with checking if more than one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority). SCHED_NORMAL : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin. We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation. Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu timers.

So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path we fail to do so. So this was introduced at around v3.14, by: c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy. Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list. In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE, introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these cases to preserve other invariants. Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).

* / sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by defaultMel Gorman2016-02-091-0/+1

As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

| * sched/fair: Move the cache-hot 'load_avg' variable into its own cachelineWaiman Long2015-12-041-1/+6

Running a java benchmark on a 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the perf profile looked like: 10.52% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt 9.66% 0.05% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] hrtimer_interrupt 8.65% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] tick_sched_timer 8.56% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_process_times 8.07% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] scheduler_tick 6.91% 1.78% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] task_tick_fair 5.24% 5.04% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_shares In particular, the high CPU time consumed by update_cfs_shares() was mostly due to contention on the cacheline that contained the task_group's load_avg statistical counter. This cacheline may also contains variables like shares, cfs_rq & se which are accessed rather frequently during clock tick processing. This patch moves the load_avg variable into another cacheline separated from the other frequently accessed variables. It also creates a cacheline aligned kmemcache for task_group to make sure that all the allocated task_group's are cacheline aligned. By doing so, the perf profile became: 9.44% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt 8.74% 0.01% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] hrtimer_interrupt 7.83% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] tick_sched_timer 7.74% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_process_times 7.27% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] scheduler_tick 5.94% 1.74% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] task_tick_fair 4.15% 3.92% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_shares The %cpu time is still pretty high, but it is better than before.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building a kernel with a gcc 6 snapshot the compiler complains about unused const static variables for prio_to_weight and prio_to_mult for multiple scheduler files (all but core.c and autogroup.c) The way the array is currently declared it will be duplicated in every scheduler file that includes sched.h, which seems rather wasteful. Move the array out of line into core.c. I also added a sched_ prefix to avoid any potential name space collisions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair class. This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq, ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time. These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from one another, so there is a definite bound on things.

WMB | A->on_cpu = 0; | UNLOCK rq0->lock | | context_switch(C, A) `-- A->state = TASK_DEAD prev_state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) context_switch(A, C) finish_task_switch(A) A->state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A->state on CPU0 to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A->state, which will then result in a double-drop and use-after-free. Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago) that we need to observe A->state while holding rq->lock because that will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact acquire (that) rq->lock; it takes A->pi_lock these days. We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is expensive, so we'd rather avoid that. The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&A->on_cpu, 0), which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

* | sched/fair: Make utilization tracking CPU scale-invariantDietmar Eggemann2015-09-131-1/+1

This could be due to micro-architectural differences (i.e. instructions per seconds) between cpus in HMP systems (e.g. big.LITTLE), and/or differences in the current maximum frequency supported by individual cpus in SMP systems. In the existing implementation utilization isn't comparable between cpus as it is relative to the capacity of each individual CPU. Each segment of the sched_avg.util_sum geometric series is now scaled by the CPU performance factor too so the sched_avg.util_avg of each sched entity will be invariant from the particular CPU of the HMP/SMP system on which the sched entity is scheduled. With this patch, the utilization of a CPU stays relative to the max CPU performance of the fastest CPU in the system. In contrast to utilization (sched_avg.util_sum), load (sched_avg.load_sum) should not be scaled by compute capacity. The utilization metric is based on running time which only makes sense when cpus are _not_ fully utilized (utilization cannot go beyond 100% even if more tasks are added), where load is runnable time which isn't limited by the capacity of the CPU and therefore is a better metric for overloaded scenarios. If we run two nice-0 busy loops on two cpus with different compute capacity their load should be similar since their compute demands are the same. We have to assume that the compute demand of any task running on a fully utilized CPU (no spare cycles = 100% utilization) is high and the same no matter of the compute capacity of its current CPU, hence we shouldn't scale load by CPU capacity.

While at it, remove the ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feature as well. With the change to #define there isn't a straightforward way to allow runtime switch between an arch implementation and the default implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() using sched_feature. The default was to use the arch-specific implementation, but only the arm architecture provides one and that is essentially equivalent to the default implementation.

* sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average trackingYuyang Du2015-08-031-19/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea of runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to weight) was proposed by Paul Turner and Ben Segall, and it is still followed by this rewrite. This rewrite aims to solve the following issues: 1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is updated at the granularity of an entity at a time, which results in the cfs_rq's load average is stale or partially updated: at any time, only one entity is up to date, all other entities are effectively lagging behind. This is undesirable. To illustrate, if we have n runnable entities in the cfs_rq, as time elapses, they certainly become outdated: t0: cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_old, ..., en_old } and when we update: t1: update e1, then we have cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_old, ..., en_old } t2: update e2, then we have cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_new, ..., en_old } ... We solve this by combining all runnable entities' load averages together in cfs_rq's avg, and update the cfs_rq's avg as a whole. This is based on the fact that if we regard the update as a function, then: w * update(e) = update(w * e) and update(e1) + update(e2) = update(e1 + e2), then w1 * update(e1) + w2 * update(e2) = update(w1 * e1 + w2 * e2) therefore, by this rewrite, we have an entirely updated cfs_rq at the time we update it: t1: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new } t2: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new } ... 2. cfs_rq's load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other task_group's per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average contributes to the load. The basic idea behind runnable load average (the same for utilization) is that the blocked state is taken into account as opposed to only accounting for the currently runnable state. Therefore, the average should include both the runnable/running and blocked load averages. This rewrite does that. In addition, we also combine runnable/running and blocked averages of all entities into the cfs_rq's average, and update it together at once. This is based on the fact that: update(runnable) + update(blocked) = update(runnable + blocked) This significantly reduces the code as we don't need to separately maintain/update runnable/running load and blocked load. 3. How task_group entities' share is calculated is complex and imprecise. We reduce the complexity in this rewrite to allow a very simple rule: the task_group's load_avg is aggregated from its per CPU cfs_rqs's load_avgs. Then group entity's weight is simply proportional to its own cfs_rq's load_avg / task_group's load_avg. To illustrate, if a task_group has { cfs_rq1, cfs_rq2, ..., cfs_rqn }, then, task_group_avg = cfs_rq1_avg + cfs_rq2_avg + ... + cfs_rqn_avg, then cfs_rqx's entity's share = cfs_rqx_avg / task_group_avg * task_group's share To sum up, this rewrite in principle is equivalent to the current one, but fixes the issues described above. Turns out, it significantly reduces the code complexity and hence increases clarity and efficiency. In addition, the new averages are more smooth/continuous (no spurious spikes and valleys) and updated more consistently and quickly to reflect the load dynamics. As a result, we have less load tracking overhead, better performance, and especially better power efficiency due to more balanced load.

Fix it by making sure that /proc/pid/sched reflects the task fault numbers. Also add group fault stats too. Also couple of more modifications are added here: 1. Format changes: - Previously we would list two entries per node, one for private and one for shared. Also the home node info was listed in each entry. - Now preferred node, total_faults and current node are displayed separately. - Now there is one entry per node, that lists private,shared task and group faults. 2. Unit changes: - p->numa_pages_migrated was getting reset after every read of /proc/pid/sched. It's more useful to have absolute numbers since differential migrations between two accesses can be more easily calculated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generalize the post_schedule() stuff into a balance callback list. This allows us to more easily use it outside of schedule() and cross sched_class.

| * | sched,perf: Fix periodic timersPeter Zijlstra2015-05-181-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be (re)-started when their idle condition changes. Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns, and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we end up with a 'lost' timer. The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer. Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course, that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time. Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that is undesired. The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.
