It adds lots of CPU scheduler stats in /proc/pid/stat. They are described in the new Documentation//sched-stats.txt We were carrying this patch offline for some time, but as there's still considerable ongoing work in this area, and as the new stats are a configuration option, I think it's best that this capability be in the base kernel. Nick removed a fair amount of statistics that he wasn't using. The full patch gathers more information. In particular, his patch doesn't include the code to measure the latency between the time a process is made runnable and the time it hits a processor which will be key to measuring interactivity changes. He passed his changes back to me and I got finished merging his changes with the current statistics patches just before OLS. I believe this is largely a superset of the patch you grabbed and should port relatively easily too. Versions also exist for 2.6.8-rc2 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 2.6.8-rc2-mm2 at http://eaglet.rain.com/rick/linux/schedstat/patches/ and within 24 hours at http://oss.software.ibm.com/linux/patches/?patch_id=730&show=all The version below is for 2.6.8-rc2-mm2 without the staircase code and has been compiled cleanly but not yet run. From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> this code needs a couple of cleanups before it can go into mainline: fs/proc/array.c, fs/proc/base.c, fs/proc/proc_misc.c: - moved the new /proc/<PID>/stat fields to /proc/<PID>/schedstat, because the new fields break older procps. It's cleaner this way anyway. This moving of fields necessiated a bump to version 10. Documentation/sched-stats.txt: - updated sched-stats.txt for version 10 - wake_up_forked_thread() => wake_up_new_task() - updated the per-process field description Kconfig: - removed the default y and made the option dependent on DEBUG_KERNEL. This is really for scheduler analysis, normal users dont need the overhead. include/linux/sched.h: - moved the definitions into kernel/sched.c - this fixes UP compilation and is cleaner. - also moved the sched-domain definitions to sched.c - now that the sched-domains internals are not exposed to architectures this is doable. It's also necessary due to the previous change. kernel/fork.c: - moved the ->sched_info init to sched_fork() where it belongs. kernel/sched.c: - wake_up_forked_thread() -> wake_up_new_task(), wuft_cnt -> wunt_cnt, wuft_moved -> wunt_moved. - wunt_cnt and wunt_moved were defined by never updated - added the missing code to wake_up_new_task(). - whitespace/style police - removed whitespace changes done to code not related to schedstats - i'll send a separate patch for these (and more).

The smt-nice handling is a little too aggressive by not estimating the per cpu gain as high enough for pentium4 hyperthread. This patch changes the per sibling cpu gain from 15% to 25%. The true per cpu gain is entirely dependant on the workload but overall the 2 species of Pentium4 that support hyperthreading have about 20-30% gain. P.S: Anton - For the power processors that are now using this SMT nice infrastructure it would be worth setting this value separately at 40%. Signed-off-by:

In light of some proposed changes in the sched_domains code, I coded up this little ditty that simply creates and populates a cpu_sibling_map for PPC64 machines. The patch just checks the CPU flags to determine if the CPU supports SMT (aka Hyper-Threading aka Multi-Threading aka ...) and fills in a mask of the siblings for each CPU in the system. This should allow us to build sched_domains for PPC64 with generic code in kernel/sched.c for the SMT systems. SMT is becoming more popular and is turning up in more and more architectures. I don't think it will be too long until this feature is supported by most arches... Signed-off-by:

Here's a version of the isolated scheduler domain code that I mentioned in an RFC on 7/22. This patch applies on top of 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 (to include all of the new arch_init_sched_domain code). This patch also contains the 2 line fix to remove the check of first_cpu(sd->groups->cpumask)) that Jesse sent in earlier. Note that this has not been tested with CONFIG_SCHED_SMT. I hope that my handling of those instances is OK. Signed-off-by:

This patch limits the cpu span of each node's scheduler domain to prevent balancing across too many cpus. The cpus included in a node's domain are determined by the SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN define and the arch specific sched_domain_node_span routine if ARCH_HAS_SCHED_DOMAIN is defined. If ARCH_HAS_SCHED_DOMAIN is not defined, behavior is unchanged--all possible cpus will be included in each node's scheduling domain. Currently, only ia64 provides an arch specific sched_domain_node_span routine. From: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@engr.sgi.com> This patch adds some more NUMA specific logic to the creation of scheduler domains. Domains spanning all CPUs in a large system are too large to schedule across efficiently, leading to livelocks and inordinate amounts of time being spent in scheduler routines. With this patch applied, the node scheduling domains for NUMA platforms will only contain a specified number of nearby CPUs, based on the value of SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN. It also allows arches to override SD_NODE_INIT, which sets the domain scheduling parameters for each node's domain. This is necessary especially for large systems. Possible future directions: o multilevel node hierarchy (e.g. node domains could contain 4 nodes worth of CPUs, supernode domains could contain 32 nodes worth, etc. each with their own SD_NODE_INIT values) o more tweaking of SD_NODE_INIT values for good load balancing vs. overhead tradeoffs From: mita akinobu <amgta@yacht.ocn.ne.jp> Compile fix Signed-off-by:Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by:

Teach the generic domains builder about SMT, and consolidate all architecture specific domain code into that. Also, the SD_*_INIT macros can now be redefined by arch code without duplicating the entire setup code. This can be done by defining ARCH_HASH_SCHED_TUNE. The generic builder has been simplified with the addition of a helper macro which will probably prove to be useful to arch specific code as well and should be exported if that is the case.

This does not affect how cpu_sibling_map is used, just gives it broader scope.

This removes balance on clone capability altogether. I told Andi we wouldn't remove it yet, but provided it is in a single small patch, he mightn't get too upset. Signed-off-by:

Don't balance on clone by default. Balance on clone has a number of trivial performance failure cases, but it was needed to get decent OpenMP performance on NUMA (Opteron) systems. Not doing child-runs-first for new threads also solves this problem in a nicer way (implemented in a previous patch). Signed-off-by:

Now that init_idle does not remove tasks from the runqueue, those architectures that use kernel_thread instead of copy_process for the idle task will break. To fix, ensure that CLONE_IDLETASK tasks are not put on the runqueue in the first place. Signed-off-by:

Move balancing and child-runs-first logic from fork.c into sched.c where it belongs. * Consolidate wake_up_forked_process and wake_up_forked_thread into wake_up_new_process, and pass in clone_flags as suggested by Linus. This removes a lot of code duplication and allows all logic to be handled in that function. * Don't do balance-on-clone balancing for vfork'ed threads. * Don't do set_task_cpu or balance one clone in wake_up_new_process. Instead do it in sched_fork to fix set_cpus_allowed races. * Don't do child-runs-first for CLONE_VM processes, as there is obviously no COW benifit to be had. This is a big one, it enables Andi's workload to run well without clone balancing, because the OpenMP child threads can get balanced off to other nodes *before* they start running and allocating memory. * Rename sched_balance_exec to sched_exec: hide the policy from the API. From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> rename wake_up_new_process -> wake_up_new_task. in sched.c we are gradually moving away from the overloaded 'process' or 'thread' notion to the traditional task (or context) naming.

The main benefit is that with the default HZ=1000 nice +19 tasks now get 5 msecs of timeslices, so the ratio of CPU use is linear. (nice 0 task gets 20 times more CPU time than a nice 19 task. Prior this change the ratio was 1:10) another effect is that nice 0 tasks now get a round 100 msecs of timeslices (as intended), instead of 102 msecs. here's a table of old/new timeslice values, for HZ=1000 and 100: HZ=1000 ( HZ=100 ) old new ( old new ) nice -20: 200 200 ( 200 200 ) nice -19: 195 195 ( 190 190 ) ... nice 0: 102 100 ( 100 100 ) nice 1: 97 95 ( 90 90 ) nice 2: 92 90 ( 90 90 ) ... nice 17: 19 15 ( 10 10 ) nice 18: 14 10 ( 10 10 ) nice 19: 10 5 ( 10 10 ) i've tested the patch on x86.

On some platforms (notably power5) you can't enable surveillance (firmware/service processor watchdog) from the kernel - you have to do it in the firmware. This patch changes enable_surveillance() to make the message that is printed in this situation more informative. Additionaly, the rtas_call was changed to rtas_set_indicator so as to avoid having to handle RTAS_BUSY returns. Signed-off-by:

The code doesn't actually _care_ about 32/64-bit issues, only about F_SETLK vs F_SETLKW, and the F_SETLK64 doesn't exist except as a compatibility thing on 64-bit architectures (since the regular one already _is_ 64-bit, of course).
