__migrate_task() can return with a different runqueue locked than the one we passed as an argument. So that we can repin the lock in migrate_tasks() (and keep the update_rq_clock() bit) we need to restore the old rq_flags before repinning. Note that it wouldn't be correct to change move_queued_task() to repin because of the change of runqueue and the fact that having an up-to-date clock on the initial rq doesn't mean the new rq has one too.

Steve noticed that when we switch from IDLE to SCHED_OTHER we fail to take the shortcut, even though all runnable tasks are of the fair class, because prev->sched_class != &fair_sched_class. Since I reworked the put_prev_task() stuff, we don't really care about prev->class here, so removing that condition will allow this case. This increases the likely case from 78% to 98% correct for Steve's workload. Reported-by:

I feel that the example given in the document to show the possibility of task starvation of configurable period is wrong. The example says group A and B both have 50% bandwidth, and a while (1) loop in A will run for the full period of B and can starve B's tasks. So I think the runtime of group A should be 50000us, then the period and runtime of group B should be 50000us and 25000us. Signed-off-by:

Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug. This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface. The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable() where appropriate. Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64 and parisc are trivial in that they never called set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to clear_sched_clock_stable() to them. For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now get an explicit mark unstable. Reported-by:

When an ext4 fs is bogged down by a lot of metadata IOs (in the reported case, it was deletion of millions of files, but any massive amount of journal writes would do), after the journal is filled up, tasks which try to access the filesystem and aren't currently performing the journal writes end up waiting in __jbd2_log_wait_for_space() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex. Because those mutex sleeps aren't marked as iowait, this condition can lead to misleadingly low iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked. While iowait propagation is far from strict, this condition can be triggered fairly easily and annotating these sleeps correctly helps initial diagnosis quite a bit. Use the new mutex_lock_io() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex so that these sleeps are properly marked as iowait. Reported-by:

We sometimes end up propagating IO blocking through mutexes; however, because there currently is no way of annotating mutex sleeps as iowait, there are cases where iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked report misleading numbers obscuring the actual state of the system. This patch adds mutex_lock_io() so that mutex sleeps can be marked as iowait in those cases. Signed-off-by:

Now that IO schedule accounting is done inside __schedule(), io_schedule() can be split into three steps - prep, schedule, and finish - where the schedule part doesn't need any special annotation. This allows marking a sleep as iowait by simply wrapping an existing blocking function with io_schedule_prepare() and io_schedule_finish(). Because task_struct->in_iowait is single bit, the caller of io_schedule_prepare() needs to record and the pass its state to io_schedule_finish() to be safe regarding nesting. While this isn't the prettiest, these functions are mostly gonna be used by core functions and we don't want to use more space for ->in_iowait. While at it, as it's simple to do now, reimplement io_schedule() without unnecessarily going through io_schedule_timeout(). Signed-off-by:

Tejun Heo authored
For an interface to support blocking for IOs, it must call io_schedule() instead of schedule(). This makes it tedious to add IO blocking to existing interfaces as the switching between schedule() and io_schedule() is often buried deep. As we already have a way to mark the task as IO scheduling, this can be made easier by separating out io_schedule() into multiple steps so that IO schedule preparation can be performed before invoking a blocking interface and the actual accounting happens inside the scheduler. io_schedule_timeout() does the following three things prior to calling schedule_timeout(). 1. Mark the task as scheduling for IO. 2. Flush out plugged IOs. 3. Account the IO scheduling. done close to the actual scheduling. This patch moves #3 into the scheduler so that later patches can separate out preparation and finish steps from io_schedule(). Patch-originally-by:

The update of the share of a cfs_rq is done when its load_avg is updated but before the group_entity's load_avg has been updated for the past time slot. This generates wrong load_avg accounting which can be significant when small tasks are involved in the scheduling. Let take the example of a task a that is dequeued of its task group A: root (cfs_rq) \ (se) A (cfs_rq) \ (se) a Task "a" was the only task in task group A which becomes idle when a is dequeued. We have the sequence: - dequeue_entity a->se - update_load_avg(a->se) - dequeue_entity_load_avg(A->cfs_rq, a->se) - update_cfs_shares(A->cfs_rq) A->cfs_rq->load.weight == 0 A->se->load.weight is updated with the new share (0 in this case) - dequeue_entity A->se - update_load_avg(A->se) but its weight is now null so the last time slot (up to a tick) will be accounted with a weight of 0 instead of its real weight during the time slot. The last time slot will be accounted as an idle one whereas it was a running one. If the running time of task a is short enough that no tick happens when it runs, all running time of group entity A->se will be accounted as idle time. Instead, we should update the share of a cfs_rq (in fact the weight of its group entity) only after having updated the load_avg of the group_entity. update_cfs_shares() now takes the sched_entity as a parameter instead of the cfs_rq, and the weight of the group_entity is updated only once its load_avg has been synced with current time.

Documentation/scheduler/completion.txt says this about complete_all(): "calls complete_all() to signal all current and future waiters." Which doesn't strictly match the current semantics. Currently complete_all() is equivalent to UINT_MAX/2 complete() invocations, which is distinctly less than 'all current and future waiters' (enumerable vs innumerable), although it has worked in practice. However, Dmitry had a weird case where it might matter, so change completions to use saturation semantics for complete()/complete_all(). Once done hits UINT_MAX (and complete_all() sets it there) it will never again be decremented. Requested-by:

When switching between the unstable and stable variants it is currently possible that clock discontinuities occur. And while these will mostly be 'small', attempt to do better. As observed on my IVB-EP, the sched_clock() is ~1.5s ahead of the ktime_get_ns() based timeline at the point of switchover (sched_clock_init_late()) after SMP bringup. Equally, when the TSC is later found to be unstable -- typically because SMM tries to hide its SMI latencies by mucking with the TSC -- we want to avoid large jumps. Since the clocksource watchdog reports the issue after the fact we cannot exactly fix up time, but since SMI latencies are typically small (~10ns range), the discontinuity is mainly due to drift between sched_clock() and ktime_get_ns() (which on my desktop is ~79s over 24days). I dislike this patch because it adds overhead to the good case in favour of dealing with badness. But given the widespread failure of TSC stability this is worth it. Note that in case the TSC makes drastic jumps after SMP bringup we're still hosed. There's just not much we can do in that case without stupid overhead. If we were to somehow expose tsc_clocksource_reliable (which is hard because this code is also used on ia64 and parisc) we could avoid some of the newly introduced overhead. Signed-off-by:

Currently we switch to the stable sched_clock if we guess the TSC is usable, and then switch back to the unstable path if it turns out TSC isn't stable during SMP bringup after all. Delay switching to the stable path until after SMP bringup is complete. This way we'll avoid switching during the time we detect the worst of the TSC offences. Signed-off-by:

There's no diagnostic checks for figuring out when we've accidentally missed update_rq_clock() calls. Let's add some by piggybacking on the rq_*pin_lock() wrappers. The idea behind the diagnostic checks is that upon pining rq lock the rq clock should be updated, via update_rq_clock(), before anybody reads the clock with rq_clock() or rq_clock_task(). The exception to this rule is when updates have explicitly been disabled with the rq_clock_skip_update() optimisation. There are some functions that only unpin the rq lock in order to grab some other lock and avoid deadlock. In that case we don't need to update the clock again and the previous diagnostic state can be carried over in rq_repin_lock() by saving the state in the rq_flags context. Since this patch adds a new clock update flag and some already exist in rq::clock_skip_update, that field has now been renamed. An attempt has been made to keep the flag manipulation code small and fast since it's used in the heart of the __schedule() fast path. For the !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG case the only object code change (other than addresses) is the following change to reset RQCF_ACT_SKIP inside of __schedule(), - c7 83 38 09 00 00 00 movl $0x0,0x938(%rbx) - 00 00 00 + 83 a3 38 09 00 00 fc andl $0xfffffffc,0x938(%rbx) Suggested-by:

The account_system_time() function is called with a cputime that occurred while running in the kernel. The function detects which context the CPU is currently running in and accounts the time to the correct bucket. This forces the arch code to account the cputime for hardirq and softirq immediately. Such accounting function can be costly and perform unwelcome divisions and multiplications, among others. The arch code can delay the accounting for system time. For s390 the accounting is done once per timer tick and for each task switch. Signed-off-by:

Calling functions such as account_system_time(), account_user_time() and such can be costly, especially if they are called on many fastpath such as twice per IRQ. Those functions do more than just accounting to kcpustat and task cputime. Depending on the config, some subsystems can perform unpleasant multiplications and divisions, among other things.

Frederic Weisbecker authored
On context switch with powerpc32, the cputime is accumulated in the thread_info struct. So the switching-in task must move forward its start time snapshot to the current time in order to later compute the delta spent in system mode. This is what we do for the normal cputime by initializing the starttime field to the value of the previous task's starttime which got freshly updated. But we are missing the update of the scaled cputime start time. As a result we may be accounting too much scaled cputime later. Fix this by initializing the scaled cputime the same way we do for normal cputime. Signed-off-by:
