Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word. This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless wakeups. Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway. Also, fix up the apm_32 idle function, clearly that was forgotten in the last conversion. The default idle state is !POLLING so just kill the lot.

It was found that when running some workloads (such as AIM7) on large systems with many cores, CPUs do not remain idle for long. Thus, tasks can wake/get enqueued while doing idle balancing. In this patch, while traversing the domains in idle balance, in addition to checking for pulled_task, we add an extra check for this_rq->nr_running for determining if we should stop searching for tasks to pull. If there are runnable tasks on this rq, then we will stop traversing the domains. This reduces the chance that idle balance delays a task from running. This patch resulted in approximately a 6% performance improvement when running a Java Server workload on an 8 socket machine.

A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is created to reflect whether groups of CPUs in a sched_domain level can or not reach different power state. As an example, the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated independently. This information can be used in the load balance decision or to add load balancing level between group of CPUs that can power gate independantly. This flag is part of the topology flags that can be set by arch.

We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed). We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags configuration of some levels. For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu, a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology flags are: SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES SD_NUMA SD_ASYM_PACKING Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for load balancing than its children.

Changing PTEs and PMDs to pte_numa & pmd_numa is done with the mmap_sem held for reading, which means a pmd can be instantiated and turned into a numa one while __handle_mm_fault() is examining the value of old_pmd. If that happens, __handle_mm_fault() should just return and let the page fault retry, instead of throwing an oops. This is handled by the test for pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) below.

Setting the numa_preferred_node for a task in task_numa_migrate does nothing on a 2-node system. Either we migrate to the node that already was our preferred node, or we stay where we were. On a 4-node system, it can slightly decrease overhead, by not calling the NUMA code as much. Since every node tends to be directly connected to every other node, running on the wrong node for a while does not do much damage. However, on an 8 node system, there are far more bad nodes than there are good ones, and pretending that a second choice is actually the preferred node can greatly delay, or even prevent, a workload from converging. The only time we can safely pretend that a second choice node is the preferred node is when the task is part of a workload that spans multiple NUMA nodes.

When tasks have not converged on their preferred nodes yet, we want to retry fairly often, to make sure we do not migrate a task's memory to an undesirable location, only to have to move it again later. This patch reduces the interval at which migration is retried, when the task's numa_scan_period is small.

The NUMA code is smart enough to distribute the memory of workloads that span multiple NUMA nodes across those NUMA nodes. However, it still has a pretty high scan rate for such workloads, because any memory that is left on a node other than the node of the CPU that faulted on the memory is counted as non-local, which causes the scan rate to go up. Counting the memory on any node where the task's numa group is actively running as local, allows the scan rate to slow down once the application is settled in. This should reduce the overhead of the automatic NUMA placement code, when a workload spans multiple NUMA nodes.

The following commit: e5fc6611 ("sched: Fix race in idle_balance()") can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be updated, even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd max cost value is updated. Preeti noticed a similar issue with updating rq->next_balance. In this patch, we fix this by making sure we still check/update those values even if a task gets enqueued while browsing the domains.

Tim wrote: "The current code will call pick_next_task_fair a second time in the slow path if we did not pull any task in our first try. This is really unnecessary as we already know no task can be pulled and it doubles the delay for the cpu to enter idle. We instrumented some network workloads and that saw that pick_next_task_fair is frequently called twice before a cpu enters idle. The call to pick_next_task_fair can add non trivial latency as it calls load_balance which runs find_busiest_group on an hierarchy of sched domains spanning the cpus for a large system. For some 4 socket systems, we saw almost 0.25 msec spent per call of pick_next_task_fair before a cpu can be idled." Optimize the second call away for the common case and document the dependency.

The check at the beginning of cpupri_find() makes sure that the task_pri variable does not exceed the cp->pri_to_cpu array length. But that length is CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES not MAX_RT_PRIO, where it will miss the last two priorities in that array. As task_pri is computed from convert_prio() which should never be bigger than CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES, if the check should cause a panic if it is hit.

yield_task_dl() is broken: o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero; o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer() will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time. Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning: if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new) goto unlock; So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually yielded forever. To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between "good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled) and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be stopped.

Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to: for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++) irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq); It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cef ("sched: Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat") So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at once. As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does not make sense at all for fine grained accounting.

The reverse case of this race (you must msync before read) is well known. This is the not so common one. It can be triggered only on systems which do a lot of task switching and only at UML startup. If you are starting 200+ UMLs ~ 0.5% will always die without this fix. Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov <antivano@cisco.com> [rw: minor whitespace fixes] Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

Inferring the mount hierarchy correctly from /proc/mounts is hard when MS_MOVE may have been used, and the previous code did it wrongly. This change simplifies the logic to only require that /dev/shm be _on_ tmpfs (which can be checked trivially with statfs) rather than that it be a _mountpoint_ of tmpfs, since there isn't a compelling reason to be that strict. We also now check for tmpfs on whatever directory we ultimately use so that the user is better informed. This change also moves the more standard TMPDIR environment variable check ahead of the others. Applies to 3.12.

In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375 session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL); The error message: "Not enough memory for reading per file header" is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by "Perf session creation failed" I believe this issue has been brought to lkml: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458 although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue. Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write. Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it. This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to the caller.

Every event in the perf-kvm has a 'stats' structure, which contains max/min/average/etc times of handling this event. The problem is that the 'perf-kvm stat report' command always shows that 'min time' is 0us for every event. Example: # perf kvm stat report Analyze events for all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time [..] 0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% ) 0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% ) 0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 0us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% ) 0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 0us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% ) [..] This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work: # perf kvm stat report Analyze events for all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time [..] 0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 6us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% ) 0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 7us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% ) 0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 1us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% ) 0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 1us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% ) [..] Signed-off-by: Alexander Yarygin <yarygin@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1397053319-2130-3-git-send-email-borntraeger@de.ibm.com [ Fixing the perf examples changelog output ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

When formatting with 1KB or 2KB(not aligned with PAGE SIZE) block size, xfstests generic/075 and 091 are failing. The offset supplied to function truncate_pagecache_range is block size aligned. In this function start offset is re-aligned to PAGE_SIZE by rounding_up to the next page boundary. Due to this rounding up, old data remains in the page cache when blocksize is less than page size and start offset is not aligned with page size. In case of collapse range, we need to align start offset to page size boundary by doing a round down operation instead of round up.
