Initially I needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock. That however is fixed these days. Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement hrtimer_start_on(). However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes that does seem to be supported, good. Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ... Mihai reported test success as well.

| * | cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment ↵Max Krasnyansky2008-07-18
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (take 2) This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going down. It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling. Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too. Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one). This not only boots but also easily handles while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done and while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done at the same time. (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing). Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine. Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep, mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far. I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus' version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus. And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler code where it made sense (to me).

| * sched: add avg-overlap support to RT tasksGregory Haskins2008-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have the notion of tracking process-coupling (a.k.a. buddy-wake) via the p->se.last_wake / p->se.avg_overlap facilities, but it is only used for cfs to cfs interactions. There is no reason why an rt to cfs interaction cannot share in establishing a relationhip in a similar manner. Because PREEMPT_RT runs many kernel threads as FIFO priority, we often times have heavy interaction between RT threads waking CFS applications. This patch offers a substantial boost (50-60%+) in perfomance under those circumstances.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently task_h_load() computes the load of a task and uses that to either subtract it from the total, or add to it. However, removing or adding a task need not have any effect on the total load at all. Imagine adding a task to a group that is local to one cpu - in that case the total load of that cpu is unaffected. So properly compute addition/removal: s_i = S * rw_i / \Sum_j rw_j s'_i = S * (rw_i + wl) / (\Sum_j rw_j + wg) then s'_i - s_i gives the change in load. Where s_i is the shares for cpu i, S the group weight, rw_i the runqueue weight for that cpu, wl the weight we add (subtract) and wg the weight contribution to the runqueue.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | doing the load balance will change cfs_rq->load.weight (that's the whole point) but since that's part of the scale factor, we'll scale back with a different amount.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While thinking about the previous patch - I realized that using per domain aggregate load values in load_balance_fair() is wrong. We should use the load value for that CPU. By not needing per domain hierarchical load values we don't need to store per domain aggregate shares, which greatly simplifies all the math. It basically falls apart in two separate computations: - per domain update of the shares - per CPU update of the hierarchical load Also get rid of the move_group_shares() stuff - just re-compute the shares again after a successful load balance.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | calc_delta_asym() is supposed to do the same as calc_delta_fair() except linearly shrink the result for negative nice processes - this causes them to have a smaller preemption threshold so that they are more easily preempted. The problem is that for task groups se->load.weight is the per cpu share of the actual task group weight; take that into account. Also provide a debug switch to disable the asymmetry (which I still don't like - but it does greatly benefit some workloads) This would explain the interactivity issues reported against group scheduling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue. The assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we wouldnt be overloaded to begin with. The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks. Since the presence of RT tasks really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws the calculation off. This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.

* sched: fair: weight calculationsPeter Zijlstra2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit. A / \ B 1 / \ 2 3 To compute 1's load we do: weight(1) -------------- rq_weight(A) To compute 2's load we do: weight(2) weight(B) ------------ * ----------- rq_weight(B) rw_weight(A) This yields load fractions in comparable units. The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have: time_{i} vtime_{i} = ------------ weight_{i} vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight. But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group schedulingPeter Zijlstra2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy. On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up. After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load. Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP paper. XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small enough, we'll run out of bits.
