This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments with a single task running without a periodic tick. In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(), keep at least 1 tick per second. This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity. Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime, avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details handled in sched_class::task_tick(). This limitation will be removed in the future once we get these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

This makes sure that local fairness is maintained by the tick on the destination. This is done regardless of these tasks' class. We should be able to be more clever in the future depending on these. eg: a CPU that runs a SCHED_FIFO task doesn't need to maintain fairness against local pending tasks of the fair class. But keep things simple for now.

| * | nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based namingFrederic Weisbecker2013-04-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries to stop the tick in more places than just idle. But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to "full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical issues that may be solved in the future.

The user must be able to easily pick any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick, idle dynticks, full dynticks. As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure. It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now. So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ. On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default. But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into a circular dependency: 1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select CONFIG_NO_HZ 2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour. So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks (that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code) and select it from their referring Kconfig. Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ to it for backward compatibility.

| * | nohz: Wake up full dynticks CPUs when a timer gets enqueuedFrederic Weisbecker2013-03-211-1/+19

Sending an IPI to it makes it reconsidering the next timer to program on top of recent updates. This may later be improved by checking if the tick is really stopped on the target. This would need some careful synchronization though. So deal with such optimization later and start simple.

But since problem did not manifest itself before commit 62188451f0d63add7ad0cd2a1ae269d600c1663d "cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling", it should be threated as regression, which we can easily fixed on cputime_adjust() function.

* | | | | workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker taskTejun Heo2013-05-011-0/+1

This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

The root cause is: During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set their NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But the nr_busy_cpus field is initialized later with the assumption that all CPUs are in the busy state whereas some CPUs have already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag. More generally, the NOHZ_IDLE flag must be initialized when new sched_domains are created in order to ensure that NOHZ_IDLE and nr_busy_cpus are aligned. This condition can be ensured by adding a synchronize_rcu() between the destruction of old sched_domains and the creation of new ones so the NOHZ_IDLE flag will not be updated with old sched_domain once it has been initialized. But this solution introduces a additionnal latency in the rebuild sequence that is called during cpu hotplug. As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker, another solution is to have the same rcu lifecycle for both NOHZ_IDLE and sched_domain struct. A new nohz_idle field is added to sched_domain so both status and sched_domain will share the same RCU lifecycle and will be always synchronized. In addition, there is no more need to protect nohz_idle against concurrent access as it is only modified by 2 exclusive functions called by local cpu. This solution has been prefered to the creation of a new struct with an extra pointer indirection for sched_domain. The synchronization is done at the cost of : - An additional indirection and a rcu_dereference for accessing nohz_idle. - We use only the nohz_idle field of the top sched_domain.

But, in that, there is no code for preventing to re-select dst-cpu. So, same dst-cpu can be selected over and over. This patch add functionality to load_balance() in order to exclude cpu which is selected once. We prevent to re-select dst_cpu via env's cpus, so now, env's cpus is a candidate not only for src_cpus, but also dst_cpus. With this patch, we can remove lb_iterations and max_lb_iterations, because we decide whether we can go ahead or not via env's cpus.

So, if task migration is skipped by small load value or small imbalance value in move_tasks(), we don't clear LBF_ALL_PINNED. At last, we trigger 'redo' in load_balance(). Imbalance value is often so small that any tasks cannot be moved to other cpus and, of course, this situation may be continued after we change the target cpu. So this patch move up affinity check code and clear LBF_ALL_PINNED before evaluating load value in order to mitigate useless redoing overhead. In addition, re-order some comments correctly.

The update of the load of a rq that becomes idle, is done only if the avg_idle is less than sysctl_sched_migration_cost. If RT tasks and short idle duration alternate, the runnable_avg will not be updated correctly and the time will be accounted as idle time when a CFS task wakes up. A new idle_enter function is called when the next task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as run time in the load of the rq, whatever the average idle time is. The function update_rq_runnable_avg is removed from idle_balance. When a RT task is scheduled on an idle CPU, the update of the rq's load is not done when the rq exit idle state because CFS's functions are not called. Then, the idle_balance, which is called just before entering the idle function, updates the rq's load and makes the assumption that the elapsed time since the last update, was only running time. As a consequence, the rq's load of a CPU that only runs a periodic RT task, is close to LOAD_AVG_MAX whatever the running duration of the RT task is. A new idle_exit function is called when the prev task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as idle time in the rq's load.

This set tries to fix the issue by reducing the risk of multiplication overflow in the cputime scaling code. " Stanislaw Gruszka further explained the historic context and impact of the bug: " Commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239 start to use scalling for whole thread group, so increase chances of hitting multiplication overflow, depending on how many CPUs are on the system. We have multiplication utime * rtime for one thread since commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa. Overflow will happen after: rtime * utime > 0xffffffffffffffff jiffies if thread utilize 100% of CPU time, that gives: rtime > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) jiffies ritme > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) / (24 * 60 * 60 * HZ) days For HZ 100 it will be 497 days for HZ 1000 it will be 49 days. Bug affect only users, who run CPU intensive application for that long period. Also they have to be interested on utime,stime values, as bug has no other visible effect as making those values incorrect. " Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
| | * | sched: Lower chances of cputime scaling overflowFrederic Weisbecker2013-03-131-12/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users have reported that after running a process with hundreds of threads on intensive CPU-bound loads, the cputime of the group started to freeze after a few days. This is due to how we scale the tick-based cputime against the scheduler precise execution time value. We add the values of all threads in the group and we multiply that against the sum of the scheduler exec runtime of the whole group. This easily overflows after a few days/weeks of execution. A proposed solution to solve this was to compute that multiplication on stime instead of utime: 62188451f0d63add7ad0cd2a1ae269d600c1663d ("cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling") The rationale behind that was that it's easy for a thread to spend most of its time in userspace under intensive CPU-bound workload but it's much harder to do CPU-bound intensive long run in the kernel. This postulate got defeated when a user recently reported he was still seeing cputime freezes after the above patch. The workload that triggers this issue relates to intensive networking workloads where most of the cputime is consumed in the kernel. To reduce much more the opportunities for multiplication overflow, lets reduce the multiplication factors to the remainders of the division between sched exec runtime and cputime. Assuming the difference between these shouldn't ever be that large, it could work on many situations. This gets the same results as in the upstream scaling code except for a small difference: the upstream code always rounds the results to the nearest integer not greater to what would be the precise result. The new code rounds to the nearest integer either greater or not greater. In practice this difference probably shouldn't matter but it's worth mentioning. If this solution appears not to be enough in the end, we'll need to partly revert back to the behaviour prior to commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239 ("sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()") Back then, the scaling was done on exit() time before adding the cputime of an exiting thread to the signal struct. And then we'll need to scale one-by-one the live threads cputime in thread_group_cputime(). The drawback may be a slightly slower code on exit time.
