* sched: high-res preemption tickPeter Zijlstra2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick. The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair' by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on. The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency. Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the sched_latency period is important.

* Preempt-RCU: implementationPaul E. McKenney2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details of this implementation can be found in this paper - http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf and the article- http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/ This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper). This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations and can be switched to at compiler. Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.

* sched: only balance our RT tasks within our domainGregory Haskins2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We move the rt-overload data as the first global to per-domain reclassification. This limits the scope of overload related cache-line bouncing to stay with a specified partition instead of affecting all cpus in the system. Finally, we limit the scope of find_lowest_cpu searches to the domain instead of the entire system. Note that we would always respect domain boundaries even without this patch, but we first would scan potentially all cpus before whittling the list down. Now we can avoid looking at RQs that are out of scope, again reducing cache-line hits. Note: In some cases, task->cpus_allowed will effectively reduce our search to within our domain. However, I believe there are cases where the cpus_allowed mask may be all ones and therefore we err on the side of caution. If it can be optimized later, so be it.

* sched: add sched-domain rootsGregory Haskins2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We add the notion of a root-domain which will be used later to rescope global variables to per-domain variables. Each exclusive cpuset essentially defines an island domain by fully partitioning the member cpus from any other cpuset. However, we currently still maintain some policy/state as global variables which transcend all cpusets. Consider, for instance, rt-overload state. Whenever a new exclusive cpuset is created, we also create a new root-domain object and move each cpu member to the root-domain's span. By default the system creates a single root-domain with all cpus as members (mimicking the global state we have today). We add some plumbing for storing class specific data in our root-domain. Whenever a RQ is switching root-domains (because of repartitioning) we give each sched_class the opportunity to remove any state from its old domain and add state to the new one. This logic doesn't have any clients yet but it will later in the series.

* sched: RT-balance, avoid overloadingSteven Rostedt2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the searching for a run queue by a waking RT task to try to pick another runqueue if the currently running task is an RT task. The reason is that RT tasks behave different than normal tasks. Preempting a normal task to run a RT task to keep its cache hot is fine, because the preempted non-RT task may wait on that same runqueue to run again unless the migration thread comes along and pulls it off. RT tasks behave differently. If one is preempted, it makes an active effort to continue to run. So by having a high priority task preempt a lower priority RT task, that lower RT task will then quickly try to run on another runqueue. This will cause that lower RT task to replace its nice hot cache (and TLB) with a completely cold one. This is for the hope that the new high priority RT task will keep its cache hot. Remeber that this high priority RT task was just woken up. So it may likely have been sleeping for several milliseconds, and will end up with a cold cache anyway. RT tasks run till they voluntarily stop, or are preempted by a higher priority task. This means that it is unlikely that the woken RT task will have a hot cache to wake up to. So pushing off a lower RT task is just killing its cache for no good reason. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* sched: optimize RT affinityGregory Haskins2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code base assumes a relatively flat CPU/core topology and will route RT tasks to any CPU fairly equally. In the real world, there are various toplogies and affinities that govern where a task is best suited to run with the smallest amount of overhead. NUMA and multi-core CPUs are prime examples of topologies that can impact cache performance. Fortunately, linux is already structured to represent these topologies via the sched_domains interface. So we change our RT router to consult a combination of topology and affinity policy to best place tasks during migration.

* sched: pre-route RT tasks on wakeupGregory Haskins2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the original patch series that Steven Rostedt and I worked on together, we both took different approaches to low-priority wakeup path. I utilized "pre-routing" (push the task away to a less important RQ before activating) approach, while Steve utilized a "post-routing" approach. The advantage of my approach is that you avoid the overhead of a wasted activate/deactivate cycle and peripherally related burdens. The advantage of Steve's method is that it neatly solves an issue preventing a "pull" optimization from being deployed. In the end, we ended up deploying Steve's idea. But it later dawned on me that we could get the best of both worlds by deploying both ideas together, albeit slightly modified. The idea is simple: Use a "light-weight" lookup for pre-routing, since we only need to approximate a good home for the task. And we also retain the post-routing push logic to clean up any inaccuracies caused by a condition of "priority mistargeting" caused by the lightweight lookup. Most of the time, the pre-routing should work and yield lower overhead. In the cases where it doesnt, the post-router will bat cleanup.

* sched: add RT-balance cpu-weightGregory Haskins2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU. It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the same time. Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched. A timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50. Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help. This causes two problems in the current code: 1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task. 2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull overloaded tasks over. It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before overload even occurs. This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts. We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable. In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive. We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency in the fast path.
