Arjan van de Ven authored
In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have false cacheline sharing and to catch bugs at compiletime with accidental writes to them. The new scheduler code introduces a new non-const one; fix this up. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

most multicore CPUs today have shared L2 caches, so tune things so that the spreading amongst cores is more aggressive. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

reintroduce the 2.6.22 topology.h tunings again - they result in slightly better balancing. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

reintroduce a simplified version of cache-hot/cold scheduling affinity. This improves performance with certain SMP workloads, such as sysbench. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Ingo Molnar authored
speed up context-switches a bit by not clearing p->exec_start. (as a side-effect, this also makes p->exec_start a universal timestamp available to cache-hot estimations.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

do not wakeup-preempt with SCHED_BATCH tasks, their preemption is batched too, driven by the tick. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

do not normalize kernel threads via SysRq-N: the migration threads, softlockup threads, etc. might be essential for the system to function properly. So only zap user tasks. pointed out by Andi Kleen. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Andi Kleen authored
Refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completion These functions were largely cut'n'pasted. This moves the common code into single helpers instead. Advantage is about 1k less code on x86-64 and 91 lines of code removed. It adds one function call to the non timeout version of the functions; i don't expect this to be measurable.

Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher priority still preempt immediately.

Implement feature bit to disable forced preemption. This way it can be checked whether a workload is overscheduling or not. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The following patch (sched: disable sleeper_fairness on SCHED_BATCH) seems to break GROUP_SCHED. Although, it may be 'oops'-less due to the possibility of 'p' being always a valid address. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

cache_nice_tries and flags entry do not appear in proc fs sched_domain directory, because ctl_table entry is skipped. This patch fixes the issue. Signed-off-by: Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

yield() in wait_task_inactive(), can cause a high priority thread to be scheduled back in, and there by loop forever while it is waiting for some lower priority thread which is unfortunately still on the runqueue. Use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) instead.

Dhaval Giani authored
Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share. A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system. /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user. Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share. Ex: # cd /sys/kernel/uids/ # cat 512/cpu_share 1024 # echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share # cat 512/cpu_share 2048 # Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

noticed by Peter Zijlstra: fix: move the CPU check into ->task_new_fair(), this way we can call place_entity() and get child ->vruntime right at initial wakeup time. (without this there can be large latencies) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

- make timeslices of SCHED_RR tasks constant and not dependent on task's static_prio [1] ; - remove obsolete code (timeslice related bits); - make sched_rr_get_interval() return something more meaningful [2] for SCHED_OTHER tasks. [1] according to the following link, it's not compliant with SUSv3 (not sure though, what is the reference for us :-) http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/656 [2] the interval is dynamic and can be depicted as follows "should a task be one of the runnable tasks at this particular moment, it would expect to run for this interval of time before being re-scheduled by the scheduler tick". (i.e. it's more precise if a task is runnable at the moment) yeah, this seems to require task_rq_lock/unlock() but this is not a hot path. results: (SCHED_FIFO) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt -f 10 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 0 (SCHED_RR) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt 10 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 99984800 (SCHED_NORMAL) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 19996960 (SCHED_NORMAL + a cpu_hog of similar 'weight' on the same CPU --- so should be a half of the previous result) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ taskset 1 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 9998480 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
