The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully remove the obsolete accessors" * 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits) irqchip: Properly fetch the per cpu offset percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t -fix ia64: sn_nodepda cannot be assigned to after this_cpu conversion.

| * percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_tChristoph Lameter2014-08-283-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a pointer from the offset. This patch introduces a new macro this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr() that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs the proper actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var is used with cpumask_var_t are converted to the use of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

This change has been introduced to ensure a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect, it can also generate useless active migration between groups. Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the task of a busy CPU. The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU. Before caeb178c60f4f93f1b45c0bc056b5cf6d217b67f, the filtering of such use case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g: if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) && busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight) This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2 groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded, moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it. A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following results: command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test.

| * | sched/fair: Leverage the idle state info when choosing the "idlest" cpuNicolas Pitre2014-09-241-7/+34

However, if multiple CPUs are idle, the first idle CPU is selected irrespective of the depth of its idle state. Among the idle CPUs we should pick the one with with the shallowest idle state, or the latest to have gone idle if all idle CPUs are in the same state. The later applies even when cpuidle is configured out. This patch doesn't cover the following issues: - The idle exit latency of a CPU might be larger than the time needed to migrate the waking task to an already running CPU with sufficient capacity, and therefore performance would benefit from task packing in such case (in most cases task packing is about power saving). - Some idle states have a non negligible and non abortable entry latency which needs to run to completion before the exit latency can start. A concurrent patch series is making this info available to the cpuidle core. Once available, the entry latency with the idle timestamp could determine when the exit latency may be effective. Those issues will be handled in due course. In the mean time, what is implemented here should improve things already compared to the current state of affairs.

As soon as the cpu exits its idle state, the struct rq reference is cleared. There are a couple of situations where the idle state pointer could be changed while it is being consulted: 1. For x86/acpi with dynamic c-states, when a laptop switches from battery to AC that could result on removing the deeper idle state. The acpi driver triggers: 'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed' 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock' 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' 'kick_all_cpus_sync'. All cpus will exit their idle state and the pointed object will be set to NULL. 2. The cpuidle driver is unloaded. Logically that could happen but not in practice because the drivers are always compiled in and 95% of them are not coded to unregister themselves. In any case, the unloading code must call 'cpuidle_unregister_device', that calls 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock' leading to 'kick_all_cpus_sync' as mentioned above. A race can happen if we use the pointer and then one of these two scenarios occurs at the same moment. In order to be safe, the idle state pointer stored in the rq must be used inside a rcu_read_lock section where we are protected with the 'rcu_barrier' in the 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' function. The idle_get_state() and idle_put_state() accessors should be used to that effect.

After an exclusive cpuset is created, task migrations happen only between CPUs belonging to the same cpuset. Inter- cpuset migrations can only happen when the user requires so, moving a task between different cpusets. This behaviour is broken in SCHED_DEADLINE, as currently spurious inter- cpuset migration may happen without user intervention. This patch fix the problem (and shuffles the code a bit to improve clarity).

This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with the same parameters again. The problem resides in the check we perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow(): if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw) return 0; This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not added to it). After this, admission control is broken. This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE.

The __weak implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is the previous SMT variant, in order to keep backward compatibility with the use of capacity_orig. arch_scale_smt_capacity() and default_scale_smt_capacity() have been removed as they were not used elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

Futhermore, the comment of the condition refers to the task_hot function that was used before being replaced by the current condition: /* * This domain has SD_WAKE_AFFINE and * p is cache cold in this domain, and * there is no bad imbalance. */ If we look more deeply the below condition: this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task When sync is clear, we have: tl_per_task = runnable_load_avg / nr_running this_load = max(runnable_load_avg, cpuload[idx]) target_load = max(runnable_load_avg', cpuload'[idx]) It implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 and nr_running <= 1 in order to match the condition. This implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 too because of the condition: this_load <= load. but if this _load is null, 'balanced' is already set and the test is redundant. If sync is set, it's not as straight forward as above (especially if cgroup are involved) but the policy should be similar as we have removed a task that's going to sleep in order to get a more accurate load and this_load values. The current conclusion is that these additional condition don't give any benefit so we can remove them.

Let assume that we have 3 tasks that run on a dual cores /dual cluster system. We will have some idle load balance which are triggered during tick. Unfortunately, the tick is also used to queue background work so we can reach the situation where short work has been queued on a CPU which already runs a task. The load balance will detect this imbalance (2 tasks on 1 CPU and an idle CPU) and will try to pull the waiting task on the idle CPU. The waiting task is a worker thread that is pinned on a CPU so an imbalance due to pinned task is detected and the imbalance flag is set. Then, we will not be able to clear the flag because we have at most 1 task on each CPU but the imbalance flag will trig to useless active load balance between the idle CPU and the busy CPU. We need to reset of the imbalance flag as soon as we have reached a balanced state. If all tasks are pinned, we don't consider that as a balanced state and let the imbalance flag set.

However, it turns out that in many cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0. This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated.

In this case, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and __migrate_task() will not migrate it because its invisible to them. This behavior is incorrect, because the task has been already woken, it will be running on the wrong CPU without correct placement until the next wake-up or update for cpus_allowed.

| * | sched, time: Atomically increment stime & utimeRik van Riel2014-09-081-2/+5

This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value. Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately overwritten with a smaller value by another thread. Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time progresses monotonically.

| * | time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlockRik van Riel2014-09-081-13/+20

The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

For example, if a task with SCHED_DEADLINE has the following parameters: Task runtime deadline period P1 200us 500us 500us The deadline and period from task P1 are less than 1ms. In order to achieve microsecond precision, we need to enable HRTICK feature by the next command: PC#echo "HRTICK" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch & PC#./schedtool -E -t 200000:500000:500000 -e ./test The binary test is in an endless while(1) loop here. Some pieces of trace.dat are as follows: <idle>-0 157.603157: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test test-2481 157.603203: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 0:120: swapper/2 <idle>-0 157.605657: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test test-2481 157.608183: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 2483:120: trace-cmd trace-cmd-2483 157.609656: sched_switch:2483:R==>2481:4294967295: test We can get the runtime of P1 from the information above: runtime = 157.608183 - 157.605657 runtime = 0.002526(2.526ms) The correct runtime should be less than or equal to 200us at some point. The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 10000" in function start_hrtick_dl(). Because no hrtimer start up to control the rest of runtime when the reset of runtime is less than 10us. So the process will continue to run until tick-period is coming. Move the code with the limit of the least time slice from hrtick_start_fair() to hrtick_start() because the EDF schedule class also needs this function in start_hrtick_dl(). To fix this problem, we call hrtimer_start() unconditionally in start_hrtick_dl(), and make sure the scheduling slice won't be smaller than 10us in hrtimer_start().

It allows to get rid of double_rq_lock(), which we used to use to change a rq of a queued task before. Let's consider an example. To move a task between src_rq and dst_rq we will do the following: raw_spin_lock(&src_rq->lock); /* p is a task which is queued on src_rq */ p = ...; dequeue_task(src_rq, p, 0); p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING; set_task_cpu(p, dst_cpu); raw_spin_unlock(&src_rq->lock); /* * Both RQs are unlocked here. * Task p is dequeued from src_rq * but its on_rq value is not zero. */ raw_spin_lock(&dst_rq->lock); p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED; enqueue_task(dst_rq, p, 0); raw_spin_unlock(&dst_rq->lock); While p->on_rq is TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING, task is considered as "migrating", and other parallel scheduler actions with it are not available to parallel callers. The parallel caller is spining till migration is completed. The unavailable actions are changing of cpu affinity, changing of priority etc, in other words all the functionality which used to require task_rq(p)->lock before (and related to the task). To implement TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING support we primarily are using the following fact. Most of scheduler users (from which we are protecting a migrating task) use task_rq_lock() and __task_rq_lock() to get the lock of task_rq(p). These primitives know that task's cpu may change, and they are spining while the lock of the right RQ is not held. We add one more condition into them, so they will be also spinning until the migration is finished.
