2012-01-11sched: Fix lockup by limiting load-balance retries on lock-breakPeter Zijlstra
Eric and David reported dead machines and traced it to commit a195f004 ("sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking"), it turns out there's still a scenario where we can end up re-trying forever. Since there is no strict forward progress guarantee in the load-balance iteration we can get stuck re-retrying the same task-set over and over. Creating a forward progress guarantee with the existing structure is somewhat non-trivial, for now simply terminate the retry loop after a few tries.

2011-12-23sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptimeArun Sharma
If CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is defined, the kernel maintains information about how long the task was sleeping or in the case of iowait, blocking in the kernel before getting woken up. This will be useful for sleep time profiling. Note: this information is only provided for sched_fair. Other scheduling classes may choose to provide this in the future. Note: the delay includes the time spent on the runqueue as well.

2011-12-21sched: Fix load-balance lock-breakingPeter Zijlstra
The current lock break relies on contention on the rq locks, something which might never come because we've got IRQs disabled. Or will be very likely because on anything with more than 2 cpus a synchronized load-balance pass will very likely cause contention on the rq locks. Also the sched_nr_migrate thing fails when it gets trapped the loops of either the cgroup muck in load_balance_fair() or the move_tasks() load condition. Instead, use the new lb_flags field to propagate break/abort conditions for all these loops and create a new loop outside the irq disabled on the break being required.

2011-12-06sched/accounting: Re-use scheduler statistics for the root cgroupGlauber Costa
Right now, after we collect tick statistics for user and system and store them in a well known location, we keep the same statistics again for cpuacct. Since cpuacct is hierarchical, the numbers for the root cgroup should be absolutely equal to the system-wide numbers. So it would be better to just use it: this patch changes cpuacct accounting in a way that the cpustat statistics are kept in a struct kernel_cpustat percpu array. In the root cgroup case, we just point it to the main array. The rest of the hierarchy walk can be totally disabled later with a static branch - but I am not doing it here.

2011-12-06sched, nohz: Implement sched group, domain aware nohz idle load balancingSuresh Siddha
When there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often, members of the global nohz data structure are getting modified very frequently causing lot of cache-line contention. Make the nohz idle load balancing more scalabale by using the sched domain topology and 'nr_busy_cpu's in the struct sched_group_power. Idle load balance is kicked on one of the idle cpu's when there is atleast one idle cpu and: - a busy rq having more than one task or - a busy rq's scheduler group that share package resources (like HT/MC siblings) and has more than one member in that group busy or - for the SD_ASYM_PACKING domain, if the lower numbered cpu's in that domain are idle compared to the busy ones. This will help in kicking the idle load balancing request only when there is a potential imbalance. And once it is mostly balanced, these kicks will be minimized. These changes helped improve the workload that is context switch intensive between number of task pairs by 2x on a 8 socket NHM-EX based system.

2011-12-06sched, nohz: Track nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_powerSuresh Siddha
Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain] and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu belongs to. To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy. This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.

2011-12-06sched, nohz: Introduce nohz_flags in 'struct rq'Suresh Siddha
Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags for now. NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset. This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often. NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was not being updated atomically.
