2017-03-02sched/headers: Prepare to remove the <linux/gfp.h> include from <linux/sched.h>Ingo Molnar1-0/+1
<linux/topology.h> is still needed - also update other headers and .c files that depend on sched.h including gfp.h (and its sub-headers) for them.

Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h doing that for them. Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high, it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over 2,200 files ...

2017-02-01sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in ↵Shile Zhang1-0/+1
milliseconds We added the 'sched_rr_timeslice_ms' SCHED_RR tuning knob in this commit: ce0dbbbb30ae ("sched/rt: Add a tuning knob to allow changing SCHED_RR timeslice") ... which name suggests to users that it's in milliseconds, while in reality it's being set in milliseconds but the result is shown in jiffies. This is obviously confusing when HZ is not 1000, it makes it appear like the value set failed, such as HZ=100: root# echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms root# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms 10 Fix this to be milliseconds all around.

2016-02-09sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by defaultMel Gorman1-0/+4
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. 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. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

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.

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner1-12/+0
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch.

2015-05-08sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()Thomas Gleixner1-3/+4
Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly: T1 (prio = 10) lock(rtmutex); T2 (prio = 20) lock(rtmutex) boost T1 T1 (prio = 20) sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30) T1 prio = 30 .... sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10) T1 prio = 30 The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20. Commit c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its priority. Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the decision whether a change of the priority is required.

2014-02-22sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+7
If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler() call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the priority bucket list. If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Remove the sysctl_sched_dl knobsPeter Zijlstra1-13/+0
Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible to get right. The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks. Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly confusing imo. Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl. So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget. This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface for now.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add bandwidth management for SCHED_DEADLINE tasksDario Faggioli1-0/+13
In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is important that some method of having the allocation of the available CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control. This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the -deadline tasks. Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group settings). Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e., new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with the same usage paradigm are added. However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level. Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP configurations). Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own (while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth. This patch, therefore: - adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of: * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us, * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us, that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks; - couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt -deadline tasks to stay below 100%. This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below: M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us) It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE inheritance logicDario Faggioli1-0/+5
Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation). This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution, what this commits does is: - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead, when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's deadline is postponed; - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime) used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline. Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner, still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous commit) pi-architecture. We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start discussion within the community.

2014-01-13sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE structures & implementationDario Faggioli1-0/+24
Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for SCHED_DEADLINE implementation. Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy are also added where they are needed. Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate the behaviour of tasks between each other. The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase (instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an instance) activates plus the relative deadline. The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline length time interval, avoiding any interference between different tasks (bandwidth isolation). Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new policy. To summarize, this patch: - introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed; - implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new scheduling class file; - provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl and the other existing scheduling classes.
