| * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sched: Avoid printing sched_group::__cpu_power for default caseGautham R Shenoy2009-04-16

Fix this by avoid printing the __cpu_power for default cases. (i.e, __cpu_power == SCHED_LOAD_SCALE).

This is done by testing for the TIF_MEMDIE thread info flag and should be displayed alongside stack traces to identify tasks that have access to such reserves but are still stuck allocating pages, for instance. It would probably be helpful in other cases as well, so all thread info flags are emitted when showing a task.

Since '4ede816 epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()' there is an appropriate wrapper for this case: __wake_up_locked_key(). Use it here and make __wake_up_common() private to the scheduler again.

Optimize this further to allow it to relinquish it's post once all it's siblings in the power-aware sched_domain go idle, thereby allowing the whole package-core to go idle. While relinquising the post, nominate another an idle-load balancer from a semi-idle core/package.

This may not be power-efficient, since such an idle cpu could come from a completely idle core/package thereby preventing the whole core/package from being in a low-power state. For eg, consider a quad-core dual package system. The cpu numbering need not be sequential and can something like [0, 2, 4, 6] and [1, 3, 5, 7]. With sched_mc/smt_power_savings and the power-aware IRQ balance, we try to keep as fewer Packages/Cores active. But the current idle load balancer logic goes against this by choosing the first_cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask and not taking the system topology into consideration. Improve the algorithm to nominate the idle load balancer from a semi idle cores/packages thereby increasing the probability of the cores/packages being in deeper sleep states for longer duration. The algorithm is activated only when sched_mc/smt_power_savings != 0.

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns() method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but __raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup. It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor am I convinced its really needed.

But because it already modified the preempt_count to show softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle. The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace, and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal current->softirqs_enabled is still set. The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical area. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.

The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM, carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to. So the only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time. This can cause spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the caller is not interested into. The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many network sockets being monitored. By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback. Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on, since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need change too). Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and the ones that don't, are correctly handled. The former will gain some efficiency though. As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues. I tested it (together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups for the supported devices are correctly filtered. Test program available here: http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c This patch: Nothing revolutionary here. Just using the available "key" that our wakeup core already support. The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer, since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers around __wake_up_common(). The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from __wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both. I chose the former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".

This is a very simple implementation with a couple of drawbacks: 1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last word on the stack -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim 2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough that the canary location could get skipped over -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :( With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might do: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680 IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8 PGD 8063 PUD 0 Thread overran stack or stack corrupted Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 ... ... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other thread.
