Clarify and tighten try_invoke_on_locked_down_task(). Basically the function calls @func under task_rq_lock(), except it avoids taking rq->lock when possible. This makes calling @func unconditional (the function will get renamed in a later patch to remove the try). Signed-off-by:

When !SCHEDSTATS schedstat_enabled() is an unconditional 0 and the whole block doesn't exist, however GCC figures the scoped variable 'stats' is unused and complains about it. Upgrade the warning from -Wunused-variable to -Wunused-but-set-variable by writing it in two statements. This fixes the build because the new warning is in W=1. Given that whole if(0) {} thing, I don't feel motivated to change things overly much and quite strongly feel this is the compiler being daft.

Doing cleanups in the tail of schedule() is a latency punishment for the incoming task. The point of invoking kprobes_task_flush() for a dead task is that the instances are returned and cannot leak when __schedule() is kprobed. Move it into the delayed cleanup. Signed-off-by:

The queued remote wakeup mechanism has turned out to be suboptimal for RT enabled kernels. The maximum latencies go up by a factor of > 5x in certain scenarious. This is caused by either long wake lists or by a large number of TTWU IPIs which are processed back to back. Disable it for RT. Signed-off-by:

mmdrop() is invoked from finish_task_switch() by the incoming task to drop the mm which was handed over by the previous task. mmdrop() can be quite expensive which prevents an incoming real-time task from getting useful work done. Provide mmdrop_sched() which maps to mmdrop() on !RT kernels. On RT kernels it delagates the eventually required invocation of __mmdrop() to RCU. Signed-off-by:

When deciding to pull tasks in ASYM_PACKING, it is necessary not only to check for the idle state of the destination CPU, dst_cpu, but also of its SMT siblings. If dst_cpu is idle but its SMT siblings are busy, performance suffers if it pulls tasks from a medium priority CPU that does not have SMT siblings. Implement asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() to inspect the state of the SMT siblings of both dst_cpu and the CPUs in the candidate busiest group. Signed-off-by:

Before deciding to pull tasks when using asymmetric packing of tasks, on some architectures (e.g., x86) it is necessary to know not only the state of dst_cpu but also of its SMT siblings.

There exist situations in which the load balance needs to know the properties of the CPUs in a scheduling group. When using asymmetric packing, for instance, the load balancer needs to know not only the state of dst_cpu but also of its SMT siblings, if any. Use the flags of the child scheduling domains to initialize scheduling group flags. This will reflect the properties of the CPUs in the group. A subsequent changeset will make use of these new flags.

When scheduling, it is better to prefer a separate physical core rather than the SMT sibling of a high priority core. The existing formula to compute priorities takes such fact in consideration. There may exist, however, combinations of priorities (i.e., maximum frequencies) in which the priority of high-numbered SMT siblings of high-priority cores collides with the priority of low-numbered SMT siblings of low-priority cores. Consider for instance an SMT2 system with CPUs [0, 1] with priority 60 and [2, 3] with priority 30(CPUs in brackets are SMT siblings. In such a case, the resulting priorities would be [120, 60], [60, 30]. Thus, to ensure that CPU2 has higher priority than CPU1, divide the raw priority by the squared SMT iterator. The resulting priorities are [120, 30]. [60, 15]. Originally-by:

Currently in schedstats we have sum_sleep_runtime and iowait_sum, but there's no metric to show how long the task is in D state. Once a task in D state, it means the task is blocked in the kernel, for example the task may be waiting for a mutex. The D state is more frequent than iowait, and it is more critital than S state. So it is worth to add a metric to measure it. Signed-off-by:

The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se) The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly. Then the new helpers are update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, struct sched_statistics *stats) which are independent of fair sched class. To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when !schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c, __update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, struct sched_statistics *stats) The size of vmlinux as follows, Before After Size of vmlinux 826308552 826304640 The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after the change.

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal. After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows, struct task_struct { ... struct sched_entity se; struct sched_rt_entity rt; struct sched_dl_entity dl; ... struct sched_statistics stats; ... }; Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by Peter - struct sched_entity_stats { struct sched_entity se; struct sched_statistics stats; } __no_randomize_layout; Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats. The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline aligned. As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values are in usecs/op.

We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that idle<->idle competition retains some fairness. Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of which was set to SCHED_IDLE.

Use a small, non-scaled min granularity for SCHED_IDLE entities, when competing with normal entities. This reduces the latency of getting a normal entity back on cpu, at the expense of increased context switch frequency of SCHED_IDLE entities. The benefit of this change is to reduce the round-robin latency for normal entities when competing with a SCHED_IDLE entity. Example: on a machine with HZ=1000, spawned two threads, one of which is SCHED_IDLE, and affined to one cpu. Without this patch, the SCHED_IDLE thread runs for 4ms then waits for 1.4s. With this patch, it runs for 1ms and waits 340ms (as it round-robins with the other thread). Signed-off-by:

With this patch, /proc/stat and /proc/uptime now agree on idle time.

With PREEMPT_RT enabled all hrtimers callbacks will be invoked in softirq mode unless they are explicitly marked as HRTIMER_MODE_HARD. During boot kthread_bind() is used for the creation of per-CPU threads and then hangs in wait_task_inactive() if the ksoftirqd is not yet up and running. The hang disappeared since commit 26c7295b ("kthread: Do not preempt current task if it is going to call schedule()") but enabling function trace on boot reliably leads to the freeze on boot behaviour again. The timer in wait_task_inactive() can not be directly used by a user interface to abuse it and create a mass wake up of several tasks at the same time leading to long sections with disabled interrupts. Therefore it is safe to make the timer HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD. Switch the timer to HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD. Signed-off-by:

Consider a system with some NOHZ-idle CPUs, such that nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S nohz.next_balance = T When a new CPU k goes NOHZ idle (nohz_balance_enter_idle()), we end up with: nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S \U {k} nohz.next_balance = T Note that the nohz.next_balance hasn't changed - it won't be updated until a NOHZ balance is triggered. This is problematic if the newly NOHZ idle CPU has an earlier rq.next_balance than the other NOHZ idle CPUs, IOW if: cpu_rq(k).next_balance < nohz.next_balance In such scenarios, the existing nohz.next_balance will prevent any NOHZ balance from happening, which itself will prevent nohz.next_balance from being updated to this new cpu_rq(k).next_balance. Unnecessary load balance delays of over 12ms caused by this were observed on an arm64 RB5 board. Use the new nohz.needs_update flag to mark the presence of newly-idle CPUs that need their rq->next_balance to be collated into nohz.next_balance. Trigger a NOHZ_NEXT_KICK when the flag is set.

A following patch will trigger NOHZ idle balances as a means to update nohz.next_balance. Vincent noted that blocked load updates can have non-negligible overhead, which should be avoided if the intent is to only update nohz.next_balance. Add a new NOHZ balance kick flag, NOHZ_NEXT_KICK. Gate NOHZ blocked load update by the presence of NOHZ_STATS_KICK - currently all NOHZ balance kicks will have the NOHZ_STATS_KICK flag set, so no change in behaviour is expected. Suggested-by:

Unfortunately, this will cause kernel to fail to start with: 1 (init): Uhuuh, elf segment at 00003ffff7ffd000 requested but the memory is mapped already Failed to execute /init (error -17) The reason is that the elf interpreter (ld.so) has overlapping segments. readelf -l ld-2.31.so Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align LOAD 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000000002c94c 0x000000000002c94c R E 0x10000 LOAD 0x000000000002dae0 0x000000000003dae0 0x000000000003dae0 0x00000000000021e8 0x0000000000002320 RW 0x10000 LOAD 0x000000000002fe00 0x000000000003fe00 0x000000000003fe00 0x00000000000011ac 0x0000000000001328 RW 0x10000 The reason for this problem is the same as described in commit ad55eac7 ("elf: enforce MAP_FIXED on overlaying elf segments"). Not only executable binaries, elf interpreters (e.g. ld.so) can have overlapping elf segments, so we better drop MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE and go back to MAP_FIXED in load_elf_interp.
