sched: add RT-balance cpu-weight Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU. It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the same time. Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched. A timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50. Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help. This causes two problems in the current code: 1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task. 2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull overloaded tasks over. It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before overload even occurs. This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts. We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable. In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive. We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency in the fast path.

sched_rt.c: resch needed in rt_rq_enqueue() for the root rt_rq While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c (do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue(). The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL). Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL) rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined instant in the future. This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling. For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying between 70% to 95%. Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and I can see values also going down to 20-25%!! The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task, and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly if you think it is needed. Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

timers: fix itimer/many thread hang Overview This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code. The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse. Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at which point things degrade rather quickly. This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF." Code Changes This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single- or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function uses those fields to make its decisions. We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and scheduler times and use these in appropriate places: struct task_cputime { cputime_t utime; cputime_t stime; unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime; }; This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer: struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime totals; }; struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime *totals; }; We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr(). We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init() function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task. The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free() function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields; in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and, if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure. Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further. The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal(). It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from cleanup_signal(). All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated. Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting. With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest expiration; this is checked in the fast path. Performance The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those two cases. I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system. Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system, all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many voluntary context switches with the fix as without it. Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023 seconds per tick). Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel. With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus 5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel. Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits. Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results were essentially the same with no itimer running. Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds (where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running, the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise, performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases. In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below. On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720 for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of 0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this test computed the primes up to 25,000,000. I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at 1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of 629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

sched: cpu accounting controller (V2) Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption. The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with these differences: - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for 2.6.25 after more discussions. - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler classes - Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage counter to be per-cpu - Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in kernel/sched.c) The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting information. Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with cpuacct.usage.

sched: add RT-balance cpu-weight Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU. It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the same time. Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched. A timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50. Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help. This causes two problems in the current code: 1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task. 2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull overloaded tasks over. It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before overload even occurs. This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts. We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable. In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive. We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency in the fast path.

sched: rework of "prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones" regarding this commit: 45c01e824991b2dd0a332e19efc4901acb31209f I think we can do it simpler. Please take a look at the patch below. Instead of having 2 separate arrays (which is + ~800 bytes on x86_32 and twice so on x86_64), let's add "exclusive" (the ones that are bound to this CPU) tasks to the head of the queue and "shared" ones -- to the end. In case of a few newly woken up "exclusive" tasks, they are 'stacked' (not queued as now), meaning that a task {i+1} is being placed in front of the previously woken up task {i}. But I don't think that this behavior may cause any realistic problems. There are a couple of changes on top of this one. (1) in check_preempt_curr_rt() I don't think there is a need for the "pick_next_rt_entity(rq, &rq->rt) != &rq->curr->rt" check. enqueue_task_rt(p) and check_preempt_curr_rt() are always called one after another with rq->lock being held so the following check "p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed == 1 && rq->curr->rt.nr_cpus_allowed != 1" should be enough (well, just its left part) to guarantee that 'p' has been queued in front of the 'curr'. (2) in set_cpus_allowed_rt() I don't thinks there is a need for requeue_task_rt() here. Perhaps, the only case when 'requeue' (+ reschedule) might be useful is as follows: i) weight == 1 && cpu_isset(task_cpu(p), *new_mask) i.e. a task is being bound to this CPU); ii) 'p' != rq->curr but here, 'p' has already been on this CPU for a while and was not migrated. i.e. it's possible that 'rq->curr' would not have high chances to be migrated right at this particular moment (although, has chance in a bit longer term), should we allow it to be preempted. Anyway, I think we should not perhaps make it more complex trying to address some rare corner cases. For instance, that's why a single queue approach would be preferable. Unless I'm missing something obvious, this approach gives us similar functionality at lower cost. Verified only compilation-wise.

sched: prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296 This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3). >From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right" thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1 wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it *should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate, the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work. This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when available. There are several details for utilizing this properly. 1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the current task will find an immediate home. 2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like SCHED_RR timeslicing. I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is "ok".

sched: add RT-balance cpu-weight Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU. It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the same time. Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched. A timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50. Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help. This causes two problems in the current code: 1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task. 2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull overloaded tasks over. It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before overload even occurs. This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts. We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable. In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive. We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency in the fast path.

cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment (take 2) 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).

sched: simplify move_tasks() The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct capabilities: 1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run queue to another; and 2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to another. The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance() and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken. The second capability is used in exactly one place, active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure. This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()). However, the new modular design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted and this patch addresses that solution by: 1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by active_load_balance(); and 2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task() or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance() moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer from the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations. Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair() so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted). NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even small reductions in overhead are worthwhile.

Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help. This causes two problems in the current code: 1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task. 2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull overloaded tasks over.

This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts. We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable. In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive. We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency in the fast path.

timers: fix itimer/many thread hang Overview This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code. The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse. Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at which point things degrade rather quickly. This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF." Code Changes This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single- or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function uses those fields to make its decisions. We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and scheduler times and use these in appropriate places: struct task_cputime { cputime_t utime; cputime_t stime; unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime; }; This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer: struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime totals; }; struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime *totals; }; We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr(). We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init() function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task. The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free() function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields; in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and, if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure. Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further. The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal(). It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from cleanup_signal(). All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated. Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting. With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest expiration; this is checked in the fast path. Performance The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those two cases. I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system. Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system, all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many voluntary context switches with the fix as without it. Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023 seconds per tick). Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel. With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus 5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel. Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits. Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results were essentially the same with no itimer running. Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds (where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running, the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise, performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases. In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below. On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720 for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of 0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this test computed the primes up to 25,000,000. I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at 1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of 629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

sched: add RT-balance cpu-weight Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU. It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the same time. Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched. A timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50. Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help. This causes two problems in the current code: 1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task. 2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull overloaded tasks over. It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before overload even occurs. This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts. We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable. In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive. We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency in the fast path.
