like for cpustat, introduce the "gtime" (guest time of the task) and "cgtime" (guest time of the task children) fields for the tasks. Modify signal_struct and task_struct. Modify /proc/<pid>/stat to display these new fields. Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Acked-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

as recent CPUs introduce a third running state, after "user" and "system", we need a new field, "guest", in cpustat to store the time used by the CPU to run virtual CPU. Modify /proc/stat to display this new field. Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Acked-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

we had an incorrect-terminator bug in sd_alloc_ctl_domain_table() before, so add a comment that documents it. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Milton Miller authored
Now that we are calling this at runtime, a more relaxed error path is suggested. If an allocation fails, we just register the partial table, which will show empty directories. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Unregister and free the sysctl table before destroying domains, then rebuild and register after creating the new domains. This prevents the sysctl table from pointing to freed memory for root to write. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu variables. If the cpus_possible mask is not contigious this will result in a crash referencing unallocated data. If the online mask is not contigious then we would show offline cpus and miss online ones. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have false cacheline sharing and to catch bugs at compiletime with accidental writes to them. The new scheduler code introduces a new non-const one; fix this up. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

most multicore CPUs today have shared L2 caches, so tune things so that the spreading amongst cores is more aggressive. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Ingo Molnar authored
reintroduce the 2.6.22 topology.h tunings again - they result in slightly better balancing. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

activate task_hot() only for fair-scheduled tasks (i.e. disable it for RT tasks). Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

reintroduce a simplified version of cache-hot/cold scheduling affinity. This improves performance with certain SMP workloads, such as sysbench. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
speed up context-switches a bit by not clearing p->exec_start. (as a side-effect, this also makes p->exec_start a universal timestamp available to cache-hot estimations.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

do not wakeup-preempt with SCHED_BATCH tasks, their preemption is batched too, driven by the tick. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Generate uevents when a user is being created/destroyed. These events can be used to configure cpu share of a new user. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

do not normalize kernel threads via SysRq-N: the migration threads, softlockup threads, etc. might be essential for the system to function properly. So only zap user tasks. pointed out by Andi Kleen. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

remove stale comment from sched_group_set_shares(). Function never returns -EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Replace a particularly ugly ifdef with an inline and a new macro. Also split up the function to be easier to read. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Andi Kleen authored
Refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completion These functions were largely cut'n'pasted. This moves the common code into single helpers instead. Advantage is about 1k less code on x86-64 and 91 lines of code removed. It adds one function call to the non timeout version of the functions; i don't expect this to be measurable.

Mike Galbraith authored
Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher priority still preempt immediately.

Implement feature bit to disable forced preemption. This way it can be checked whether a workload is overscheduling or not. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The following patch (sched: disable sleeper_fairness on SCHED_BATCH) seems to break GROUP_SCHED. Although, it may be 'oops'-less due to the possibility of 'p' being always a valid address. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

cache_nice_tries and flags entry do not appear in proc fs sched_domain directory, because ctl_table entry is skipped. This patch fixes the issue. Signed-off-by: Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

yield() in wait_task_inactive(), can cause a high priority thread to be scheduled back in, and there by loop forever while it is waiting for some lower priority thread which is unfortunately still on the runqueue. Use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) instead.

Dhaval Giani authored
Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share. A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system. /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user. Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share. Ex: # cd /sys/kernel/uids/ # cat 512/cpu_share 1024 # echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share # cat 512/cpu_share 2048 # Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

noticed by Peter Zijlstra: fix: move the CPU check into ->task_new_fair(), this way we can call place_entity() and get child ->vruntime right at initial wakeup time.
