sched: Implement a gentler fair-sleepers feature Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS. FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time. GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets credited. The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic (quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their sleep time as if they were running.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions) This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

/*

*/
mutex: implement adaptive spinning Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks. This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins. Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox: # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 296604 # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 85870 The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning instead of blocking/scheduling. Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in the slowpath. Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code, there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y), by issuing the following command: # echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default): # echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

sched: Remove irq time from available CPU power The idea was suggested by Peter Zijlstra here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127476934517534&w=2 irq time is technically not available to the tasks running on the CPU. This patch removes irq time from CPU power piggybacking on sched_rt_avg_update(). Tested this by keeping CPU X busy with a network intensive task having 75% oa a single CPU irq processing (hard+soft) on a 4-way system. And start seven cycle soakers on the system. Without this change, there will be two tasks on each CPU. With this change, there is a single task on irq busy CPU X and remaining 7 tasks are spread around among other 3 CPUs.

sched: adjust scheduler cpu power for stolen time This patch makes update_rq_clock() aware of steal time. The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time, and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG option itself, and can be compiled out independently of the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments. Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into sched_rt_avg_update(). Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time, this patch do it independently using another field, prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock().

sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst each-other. This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the 16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap. Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible. In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power structure such that we can uniquely track the power.
