The ordering of the clock bases is historical due to the
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC constants. Now the hrtimer bases
have their own enumeration due to the gap between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME. So we can be more clever as most timers end up on the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC base due to the virtue of POSIX declaring that
relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by time changes. In
desktop environments this is slowly changing as applications switch to
absolute timers, but I've observed empty CLOCK_REALTIME bases often
enough. There is no performance penalty or overhead when
CLOCK_REALTIME timers are active, but in case they are not we don't
skip over a full cache line.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

Peter is concerned about the extra scan of CLOCK_REALTIME_COS in the
timer interrupt. Yes, I did not think about it, because the solution
was so elegant. I didn't like the extra list in timerfd when it was
proposed some time ago, but with a rcu based list the list walk it's
less horrible than the original global lock, which was held over the
list iteration.Requested-by: Peter Zijlstra

Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the
watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my
particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better
timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are
able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is
unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing
us to lose the panic info.This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and
sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition,
watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines

This restores the previous behavior of softlock_thresh.
Currently, setting watchdog_thresh to zero causes the watchdog
kthreads to consume a lot of CPU.In addition, the logic of proc_dowatchdog_thresh and
proc_dowatchdog_enabled has been factored into proc_dowatchdog.Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines

In get_sample_period(), softlockup_thresh is integer divided by
5 before the multiplication by NSEC_PER_SEC. This results in
softlockup_thresh being rounded down to the nearest integer
multiple of 5.For example, a softlockup_thresh of 4 rounds down to 0.

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')to guide us in finding files that either need
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell

Introduce SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION, which scales is added to
SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and increases the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. This patch sets the value of
SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all
sched entities by a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution,
we can handle deeper cgroup hiearchies and the scheduler can do
better shares distribution and load load balancing on larger
systems (especially for low weight task groups).This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled
weights are only used internally. We do not modify
prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use the original weights
when calculating the inverse which is used to scale execution
time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose
accuracy when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to
Nikunj Dadhania for fixing an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness.Below is some analysis of the performance costs/improvements of
this patch.1. Micro-arch performance costs:
Experiment was to run Ingo's pipe_test_100k 200 times with the
task pinned to one cpu. I measured instruction, cycles and
stalled-cycles for the runs. See:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389
for more info.
-tip (baseline):
Performance counter stats for '/root/load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
964,991,769 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.05% )
1,171,186,635 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% )
306,373,664 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.16% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% )
314,933,621 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.89% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.34% )1.122405684 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% )
-tip+patches:
Performance counter stats for './load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
963,624,821 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.04% )
1,175,215,649 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% )
315,321,126 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.83% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% )
316,835,873 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.96% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.29% )1.122238659 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.06% )
With this patch, instructions decrease by ~0.10% and cycles
increase by 0.27%. This doesn't look statistically significant.
The number of stalled cycles in the backend increased from
26.16% to 26.83%. This can be attributed to the shifts we do in
c_d_m() and other places. The fraction of stalled cycles in the
frontend remains about the same, at 26.96% compared to 26.89% in -tip.2. Balancing low-weight task groups
Test setup: run 50 tasks with random sleep/busy times (biased
around 100ms) in a low weight container (with cpu.shares = 2).

introduces SCHED_POWER_SCALE and converts all uses of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE for scaling cpu_power to use SCHED_POWER_SCALE

SCHED_LOAD_SCALE, and there is no need to increase resolution

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
