| * sched/core: Use load_avg for selecting idlest groupVincent Guittot2016-12-111-11/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | find_idlest_group() only compares the runnable_load_avg when looking for the least loaded group. But on fork intensive use case like hackbench where tasks blocked quickly after the fork, this can lead to selecting the same CPU instead of other CPUs, which have similar runnable load but a lower load_avg. When the runnable_load_avg of 2 CPUs are close, we now take into account the amount of blocked load as a 2nd selection factor. There is now 3 zones for the runnable_load of the rq: - [0 .. (runnable_load - imbalance)]: Select the new rq which has significantly less runnable_load - [(runnable_load - imbalance) .. (runnable_load + imbalance)]: The runnable loads are close so we use load_avg to chose between the 2 rq - [(runnable_load + imbalance) .. ULONG_MAX]: Keep the current rq which has significantly less runnable_load The scale factor that is currently used for comparing runnable_load, doesn't work well with small value. As an example, the use of a scaling factor fails as soon as this_runnable_load == 0 because we always select local rq even if min_runnable_load is only 1, which doesn't really make sense because they are just the same. So instead of scaling factor, we use an absolute margin for runnable_load to detect CPUs with similar runnable_load and we keep using scaling factor for blocked load. For use case like hackbench, this enable the scheduler to select different CPUs during the fork sequence and to spread tasks across the system. Tests have been done on a Hikey board (ARM based octo cores) for several kernel. The result below gives min, max, avg and stdev values of 18 runs with each configuration.

As the task's utilization is still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization. Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test: hackbench -P -g 1 because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not spread during fork. With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test until a smarter solution is found because we can't simply remove the test which is useful for others benchmarks | @@ -5708,13 +5708,6 @@ static int select_idle_cpu(struct task_struct *p, struct sched_domain *sd, int t | | avg_cost = this_sd->avg_scan_cost; | | - /* | - * Due to large variance we need a large fuzz factor; hackbench in | - * particularly is sensitive here. | - */ | - if ((avg_idle / 512) < avg_cost) | - return -1; | - | time = local_clock(); | | for_each_cpu_wrap(cpu, sched_domain_span(sd), target, wrap) { Tested-by: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Acked-by: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: dietmar.eggemann@arm.com Cc: kernellwp@gmail.com Cc: umgwanakikbuti@gmail.com Cc: yuyang.du@intel.comc Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1481216215-24651-2-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

| * | kthread: Don't abuse kthread_create_on_cpu() in __kthread_create_worker()Oleg Nesterov2016-12-081-15/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kthread_create_on_cpu() sets KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU and kthread->cpu, this only makes sense if this kthread can be parked/unparked by cpuhp code. kthread workers never call kthread_parkme() so this has no effect. Change __kthread_create_worker() to simply call kthread_bind(task, cpu). The very fact that kthread_create_on_cpu() doesn't accept a generic fmt shows that it should not be used outside of smpboot.c. Now, the only reason we can not unexport this helper and move it into smpboot.c is that it sets kthread->cpu and struct kthread is not exported. And the only reason we can not kill kthread->cpu is that kthread_unpark() is used by drivers/gpu/drm/amd/scheduler/gpu_scheduler.c and thus we can not turn _unpark into kthread_unpark(struct smp_hotplug_thread *, cpu).

| * | kthread: Don't use to_live_kthread() in kthread_[un]park()Oleg Nesterov2016-12-081-45/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that to_kthread() is always validm change kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() to use it and kill to_live_kthread(). The conversion of kthread_unpark() is trivial. If KTHREAD_IS_PARKED is set then the task has called complete(&self->parked) and there the function cannot race against a concurrent kthread_stop() and exit. kthread_park() is more tricky, because its semantics are not well defined. It returns -ENOSYS if the thread exited but this can never happen and as Roman pointed out kthread_park() can obviously block forever if it would race with the exiting kthread. The usage of kthread_park() in cpuhp code (cpu.c, smpboot.c, stop_machine.c) is fine. It can never see an exiting/exited kthread, smpboot_destroy_threads() clears *ht->store, smpboot_park_thread() checks it is not NULL under the same smpboot_threads_lock. cpuhp_threads and cpu_stop_threads never exit, so other callers are fine too. But it has two more users: - watchdog_park_threads(): The code is actually correct, get_online_cpus() ensures that kthread_park() can't race with itself (note that kthread_park() can't handle this race correctly), but it should not use kthread_park() directly. - drivers/gpu/drm/amd/scheduler/gpu_scheduler.c should not use kthread_park() either. kthread_park() must not be called after amd_sched_fini() which does kthread_stop(), otherwise even to_live_kthread() is not safe because task_struct can be already freed and sched->thread can point to nowhere. The usage of kthread_park/unpark should either be restricted to core code which is properly protected against the exit race or made more robust so it is safe to use it in drivers. To catch eventual exit issues, add a WARN_ON(PF_EXITING) for now.

Now that to_kthread() is always valid, wake_up_process() + wait_for_completion() can be done ununconditionally. It's not an issue anymore if the task has already issued complete_vfork_done() or died. The exiting task can get the spurious wakeup after mm_release() but this is possible without this change too and is fine; do_task_dead() ensures that this can't make any harm. As a further enhancement this could be converted to task_work_add() later, so ->vfork_done can be avoided completely.

The scheduler can use the asymmetric packing feature to move tasks to the more capable cores. If ITMT is enabled, add SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to the thread and core sched domains to enable asymmetric packing.

Add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_itmt_enabled so operator can enable/disable scheduling of tasks that favor cores with higher turbo boost frequency potential. By default, system that is ITMT capable and single socket has this feature turned on. It is more likely to be lightly loaded and operates in Turbo range. When there is a change in the ITMT scheduling operation desired, a rebuild of the sched domain is initiated so the scheduler can set up sched domains with appropriate flag to enable/disable ITMT scheduling operations.

In that case, better performance (and possibly lower energy consumption as well) can be achieved by making the scheduler prefer to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max turbo frequencies. To that end, set up a core priority metric to abstract the core preferences based on the maximum turbo frequency. In that metric, the cores with higher maximum turbo frequencies are higher-priority than the other cores in the same package and that causes the scheduler to favor them when making load-balancing decisions using the asymmertic packing approach. At the same time, the priority of SMT threads with a higher CPU number is reduced so as to avoid scheduling tasks on all of the threads that belong to a favored core before all of the other cores have been given a task to run. The priority metric will be initialized by the P-state driver with the help of the sched_set_itmt_core_prio() function. The P-state driver will also determine whether or not ITMT is supported by the platform and will call sched_set_itmt_support() to indicate that.

The hierarchical order in shares update list has been introduced by commit: 67e86250f8ea ("sched: Introduce hierarchal order on shares update list") With the current implementation a child can be still put after its parent. Lets take the example of: root \ b /\ c d* | e* with root -> b -> c already enqueued but not d -> e so the leaf_cfs_rq_list looks like: head -> c -> b -> root -> tail The branch d -> e will be added the first time that they are enqueued, starting with e then d. When e is added, its parents is not already on the list so e is put at the tail : head -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail Then, d is added at the head because its parent is already on the list: head -> d -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail e is not placed at the right position and will be called the last whereas it should be called at the beginning. Because it follows the bottom-up enqueue sequence, we are sure that we will finished to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a parent that is already on the list. We can use this event to detect when we have finished to add a new branch. For the others, whose parents are not already added, we have to ensure that they will be added after their children that have just been inserted the steps before, and after any potential parents that are already in the list. The easiest way is to put the cfs_rq just after the last inserted one and to keep track of it untl the branch is fully added.

Systems with groups containing different numbers of cpus and/or cpus of different compute capacity are significantly better off when considering spare capacity rather than relative load in those scenarios.

| * | | sched/fair: Compute task/cpu utilization at wake-up correctlyMorten Rasmussen2016-11-161-4/+35

The task's own view of its utilization contribution may therefore not be aligned with its contribution to the cfs_rq load-tracking which may have been updated in the meantime. Basically, the task's own utilization hasn't yet accounted for the sleep decay, while the cfs_rq may have (partially). Estimating the cfs_rq utilization in case the task is migrated at wake-up as task_rq(p)->cfs.avg.util_avg - p->se.avg.util_avg is therefore incorrect as the two load-tracking signals aren't time synchronized (different last update). To solve this problem, this patch synchronizes the task utilization with its previous rq before the task utilization is used in the wake-up path. Currently the update/synchronization is done _after_ the task has been placed by select_task_rq_fair(). The synchronization is done without having to take the rq lock using the existing mechanism used in remove_entity_load_avg().

If a corrupted preempt count is detected the preempt_count_set() function is used to reset the preempt count. In case the inverted PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED bit is zero at the time of the reset, the preemption indication is lost. Use raw_cpu_cmpxchg_4() to reset only the count part and leave the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED bit as it is. This improves the kernel's behavior when it runs into preempt count leaks and tries to fix them up.

The diff is large mostly due to the JSON hardware event tables added for Intel and Power8 CPUs. This was a popular feature request from people working close to hardware and from the HPC community. Tree size is big because this added the CPU event tables for over a decade of Intel CPUs. Future changes for a CPU vendor alrady support should be much smaller, as events for new models are added. The new events are listed in 'perf list', for the CPU model the tool is running on. If you find an interesting event it can be used as-is: $ perf stat -a -e l2_lines_out.pf_clean sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 7,860,403 l2_lines_out.pf_clean 1.000624918 seconds time elapsed The event lists can be searched the usual 'perf list' fashion for (case insensitive) substrings as well: $ perf list l2_lines_out List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): cache: l2_lines_out.demand_clean [Clean L2 cache lines evicted by demand] l2_lines_out.demand_dirty [Dirty L2 cache lines evicted by demand] l2_lines_out.dirty_all [Dirty L2 cache lines filling the L2] l2_lines_out.pf_clean [Clean L2 cache lines evicted by L2 prefetch] l2_lines_out.pf_dirty [Dirty L2 cache lines evicted by L2 prefetch] etc. There's a few high level categories as well that can be listed: 'cache', 'floating point', 'frontend', 'memory', 'pipeline', 'virtual memory'. Existing generic events and workflows should work as-is. The only kernel side change is a late breaking fix for an older regression, related to Intel BTS, LBR and PT feature interaction. On the tooling side there are three new tools / major features: - The new 'perf c2c' tool provides means for Shared Data C2C/HITM analysis. This allows you to track down cacheline contention. The tool is based on x86's load latency and precise store facility events provided by Intel CPUs. It was tested by Joe Mario and has proven to be useful, finding some cacheline contentions. Joe also wrote a blog about c2c tool with examples: https://joemario.github.io/blog/2016/09/01/c2c-blog/ excerpt of the content on this site: At a high level, “perf c2c” will show you: * The cachelines where false sharing was detected. * The readers and writers to those cachelines, and the offsets where those accesses occurred. * The pid, tid, instruction addr, function name, binary object name for those readers and writers. * The source file and line number for each reader and writer. * The average load latency for the loads to those cachelines. * Which numa nodes the samples a cacheline came from and which CPUs were involved. Using perf c2c is similar to using the Linux perf tool today. First collect data with “perf c2c record”, then generate a report output with “perf c2c report” There one finds extensive details on using the tool, with tips on reducing the volume of samples while still capturing enough to do its job. (Dick Fowles, Joe Mario, Don Zickus, Jiri Olsa) - The new 'perf sched timehist' tool provides tailored analysis of scheduling events. Example usage: perf sched record -- sleep 1 perf sched timehist By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run time for the task: time cpu task name wait time sch delay run time [tid/pid] (msec) (msec) (msec) -------- ------ ---------------- --------- --------- -------- 1.874569 [0011] gcc[31949] 0.014 0.000 1.148 1.874591 [0010] gcc[31951] 0.000 0.000 0.024 1.874603 [0010] migration/10[59] 3.350 0.004 0.011 1.874604 [0011] <idle> 1.148 0.000 0.035 1.874723 [0005] <idle> 0.016 0.000 1.383 1.874746 [0005] gcc[31949] 0.153 0.078 0.022 ... Times are in msec.usec. (David Ahern, Namhyung Kim) - Add CPU vendor hardware event tables: Add JSON files with vendor event naming for Intel and Power8 processors, allowing users of tools like oprofile to keep using the event names they are used to, as well as people reading vendor documentation, where such naming is used. (Andi Kleen, Sukadev Bhattiprolu) You should see all the new events with 'perf list' and you should be able to search them, for example 'perf list miss' will list all the myriads of miss events. Other tooling features added were: - Cross-arch annotation support: o Improve ARM support in the annotation code, affecting 'perf annotate', 'perf report' and live annotation in 'perf top' (Kim Phillips) o Initial support for PowerPC in the annotation code (Ravi Bangoria) o Support AArch64 in the 'annotate' code, native/local and cross-arch/remote (Kim Phillips) - Allow considering just events in a given time interval, via the '--time start.s.ms,end.s.ms' command line, added to 'perf kmem', 'perf report', 'perf sched timehist' and 'perf script' (David Ahern) - Add option to stop printing a callchain at one of a given group of symbol names (David Ahern) - Track memory freed in 'perf kmem stat' (David Ahern) - Allow querying and setting .perfconfig variables (Taeung Song) - Show branch information in callchains (predicted, TSX aborts, loop iteractions, etc) (Jin Yao) - Dynamicly change verbosity level by pressing 'V' in the 'perf top/report' hists TUI browser (Alexis Berlemont) - Implement 'perf trace --delay' in the same fashion as in 'perf record --delay', to skip sampling workload initialization events (Alexis Berlemont) - Make vendor named events case insensitive in 'perf list', i.e. 'perf list LONGEST_LAT' works just the same as 'perf list longest_lat' (Andi Kleen) - Add unwinding support for jitdump (Stefano Sanfilippo) Tooling infrastructure changes: - Support linking perf with clang and LLVM libraries, initially statically, but this limitation will be lifted and shared libraries, when available, will be preferred to the static build, that should, as with other features, be enabled explicitly (Wang Nan) - Add initial support (and perf test entry) for tooling hooks, starting with 'record_start' and 'record_end', that will have as its initial user the eBPF infrastructure, where perf_ prefixed functions will be JITed and run when such hooks are called (Wang Nan) - Implement assorted libbpf improvements (Wang Nan)" ... and lots of other changes, features, cleanups and refactorings I did not list, see the shortlog and the git log for details" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (220 commits) perf/x86: Fix exclusion of BTS and LBR for Goldmont perf tools: Explicitly document that --children is enabled by default perf sched timehist: Cleanup idle_max_cpu handling perf sched timehist: Handle zero sample->tid properly perf callchain: Introduce callchain_cursor__copy() perf sched: Cleanup option processing perf sched timehist: Improve error message when analyzing wrong file perf tools: Move perf build related variables under non fixdep leg perf tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build perf tools: Move PERF-VERSION-FILE target into rules area perf build: Check LLVM version in feature check perf annotate: Show raw form for jump instruction with indirect target perf tools: Add non config targets perf tools: Cleanup build directory before each test perf tools: Move python/perf.so target into rules area perf tools: Move install-gtk target into rules area tools build: Move tabs to spaces where suitable tools build: Make the .cmd file more readable perf clang: Compile BPF script using builtin clang support perf clang: Support compile IR to BPF object and add testcase ...

However it also allowed enabling BTS and LBR at the same time, which is still not supported. Fix this by bypassing the check only for PT.
