| * FROMLIST: sched/fair: Use wake_q length as a hint for wake_wideBrendan Jackman2017-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9895261/) This patch adds a parameter to select_task_rq, sibling_count_hint allowing the caller, where it has this information, to inform the sched_class the number of tasks that are being woken up as part of the same event. The wake_q mechanism is one case where this information is available. select_task_rq_fair can then use the information to detect that it needs to widen the search space for task placement in order to avoid overloading the last-level cache domain's CPUs. * * * The reason I am investigating this change is the following use case on ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU capacity): 1 task per CPU, which all repeatedly do X amount of work then pthread_barrier_wait (i.e. sleep until the last task finishes its X and hits the barrier). On big.LITTLE, the tasks which get a "big" CPU finish faster, and then those CPUs pull over the tasks that are still running: v CPU v ->time-> ------------- 0 (big) 11111 /333 ------------- 1 (big) 22222 /444| ------------- 2 (LITTLE) 333333/ ------------- 3 (LITTLE) 444444/ ------------- Now when task 4 hits the barrier (at |) and wakes the others up, there are 4 tasks with prev_cpu=<big> and 0 tasks with prev_cpu=<little>. want_affine therefore means that we'll only look in CPUs 0 and 1 (sd_llc), so tasks will be unnecessarily coscheduled on the bigs until the next load balance, something like this: v CPU v ->time-> ------------------------ 0 (big) 11111 /333 31313\33333 ------------------------ 1 (big) 22222 /444|424\4444444 ------------------------ 2 (LITTLE) 333333/ \222222 ------------------------ 3 (LITTLE) 444444/ \1111 ------------------------ ^^^ underutilization So, I'm trying to get want_affine = 0 for these tasks. I don't _think_ any incarnation of the wakee_flips mechanism can help us here because which task is waker and which tasks are wakees generally changes with each iteration. However pthread_barrier_wait (or more accurately FUTEX_WAKE) has the nice property that we know exactly how many tasks are being woken, so we can cheat. It might be a disadvantage that we "widen" _every_ task that's woken in an event, while select_idle_sibling would work fine for the first sd_llc_size - 1 tasks. IIUC, if wake_affine() behaves correctly this trick wouldn't be necessary on SMP systems, so it might be best guarded by the presence of SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY? * * * Final note.. In order to observe "perfect" behaviour for this use case, I also had to disable the TTWU_QUEUE sched feature. Suppose during the wakeup above we are working through the work queue and have placed tasks 3 and 2, and are about to place task 1: v CPU v ->time-> -------------- 0 (big) 11111 /333 3 -------------- 1 (big) 22222 /444|4 -------------- 2 (LITTLE) 333333/ 2 -------------- 3 (LITTLE) 444444/ <- Task 1 should go here -------------- If TTWU_QUEUE is enabled, we will not yet have enqueued task 2 (having instead sent a reschedule IPI) or attached its load to CPU 2. So we are likely to also place task 1 on cpu 2. Disabling TTWU_QUEUE means that we enqueue task 2 before placing task 1, solving this issue. TTWU_QUEUE is there to minimise rq lock contention, and I guess that this contention is less of an issue on big.LITTLE systems since they have relatively few CPUs, which suggests the trade-off makes sense here.

* | sched: Add separate load tracking histogram to predict loadsPavankumar Kondeti2016-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current window based load tracking only saves history for five windows. A historically heavy task's heavy load will be completely forgotten after five windows of light load. Even before the five window expires, a heavy task wakes up on same CPU it used to run won't trigger any frequency change until end of the window. It would starve for the entire window. It also adds one "small" load window to history because it's accumulating load at a low frequency, further reducing the tracked load for this heavy task. Ideally, scheduler should be able to identify such tasks and notify governor to increase frequency immediately after it wakes up. Add a histogram for each task to track a much longer load history. A prediction will be made based on runtime of previous or current window, histogram data and load tracked in recent windows. Prediction of all tasks that is currently running or runnable on a CPU is aggregated and reported to CPUFreq governor in sched_get_cpus_busy(). sched_get_cpus_busy() now returns predicted busy time in addition to previous window busy time and new task busy time, scaled to the CPU maximum possible frequency. Tunables: - /proc/sys/kernel/sched_gov_alert_freq (KHz) This tunable can be used to further filter the notifications. Frequency alert notification is sent only when the predicted load exceeds previous window load by sched_gov_alert_freq converted to load.

* | sched: avoid stale cumulative_runnable_avg HMP statisticsJoonwoo Park2016-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a new window starts for a task and the task is on a rq, scheduler decreases rq's cumulative_runnable_avg momentarily, re-account task's demand and increases rq's cumulative_runnable_avg with newly accounted task's demand. Therefore there is short time period that rq's cumulative_runnable_avg is less than what it's supposed to be. Meanwhile, there is chance that other CPU is in search of best CPU to place a task and makes suboptimal decision with momentarily stale cumulative_runnable_avg. Fix such issue by adding or subtracting of delta between task's old and new demand instead of decrementing and incrementing of entire task's load.

Merge those stats in their own structure (struct hmp_sched_stats) and modify impacted functions to deal with the newly introduced structure. This cleanup is required for a subsequent patch which fixes various issues with use of CFS_BANDWIDTH feature in HMP scheduler.

* sched: Provide update_curr callbacks for stop/idle scheduling classesThomas Gleixner2014-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chris bisected a NULL pointer deference in task_sched_runtime() to commit 6e998916dfe3 'sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency'. Chris observed crashes in atop or other /proc walking programs when he started fork bombs on his machine. He assumed that this is a new exit race, but that does not make any sense when looking at that commit. What's interesting is that, the commit provides update_curr callbacks for all scheduling classes except stop_task and idle_task. While nothing can ever hit that via the clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() interfaces, which have been the target of the commit in question, the author obviously forgot that there are other code paths which invoke task_sched_runtime() do_task_stat(() thread_group_cputime_adjusted() thread_group_cputime() task_cputime() task_sched_runtime() if (task_current(rq, p) && task_on_rq_queued(p)) { update_rq_clock(rq); up->sched_class->update_curr(rq); } If the stats are read for a stomp machine task, aka 'migration/N' and that task is current on its cpu, this will happily call the NULL pointer of stop_task->update_curr. Ooops. Chris observation that this happens faster when he runs the fork bomb makes sense as the fork bomb will kick migration threads more often so the probability to hit the issue will increase. Add the missing update_curr callbacks to the scheduler classes stop_task and idle_task. While idle tasks cannot be monitored via /proc we have other means to hit the idle case.

* sched: Fix hotplug task migrationPeter Zijlstra2014-02-21

Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far more common paths. A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU. We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1. We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in idle_balance().

* sched: Push down pre_schedule() and idle_balance()Peter Zijlstra2014-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch both merged idle_balance() and pre_schedule() and pushes both of them into pick_next_task(). Conceptually pre_schedule() and idle_balance() are rather similar, both are used to pull more work onto the current CPU. We cannot however first move idle_balance() into pre_schedule_fair() since there is no guarantee the last runnable task is a fair task, and thus we would miss newidle balances. Similarly, the dl and rt pre_schedule calls must be ran before idle_balance() since their respective tasks have higher priority and it would not do to delay their execution searching for less important tasks first. However, by noticing that pick_next_tasks() already traverses the sched_class hierarchy in the right order, we can get the right behaviour and do away with both calls. We must however change the special case optimization to also require that prev is of sched_class_fair, otherwise we can miss doing a dl or rt pull where we needed one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the new stop_two_cpus() to implement migrate_swap(), a function that flips two tasks between their respective cpus. I'm fairly sure there's a less crude way than employing the stop_two_cpus() method, but everything I tried either got horribly fragile and/or complex. So keep it simple for now. The notable detail is how we 'migrate' tasks that aren't runnable anymore. We'll make it appear like we migrated them before they went to sleep. The sole difference is the previous cpu in the wakeup path, so we override this.

* sched: Keep at least 1 tick per second for active dynticks tasksFrederic Weisbecker2013-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments with a single task running without a periodic tick. In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(), keep at least 1 tick per second. This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity. Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime, avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details handled in sched_class::task_tick(). This limitation will be removed in the future once we get these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

* sched: Fix wrong rq's runnable_avg update with rt tasksVincent Guittot2013-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current update of the rq's load can be erroneous when RT tasks are involved. The update of the load of a rq that becomes idle, is done only if the avg_idle is less than sysctl_sched_migration_cost. If RT tasks and short idle duration alternate, the runnable_avg will not be updated correctly and the time will be accounted as idle time when a CFS task wakes up. A new idle_enter function is called when the next task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as run time in the load of the rq, whatever the average idle time is. The function update_rq_runnable_avg is removed from idle_balance. When a RT task is scheduled on an idle CPU, the update of the rq's load is not done when the rq exit idle state because CFS's functions are not called. Then, the idle_balance, which is called just before entering the idle function, updates the rq's load and makes the assumption that the elapsed time since the last update, was only running time. As a consequence, the rq's load of a CPU that only runs a periodic RT task, is close to LOAD_AVG_MAX whatever the running duration of the RT task is. A new idle_exit function is called when the prev task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as idle time in the rq's load.

* sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- againPeter Zijlstra2012-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code: - If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a negative bias because we can negate our own sample. - If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias because we push the sample to a known active period. So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding copious documentation to the code.
