This patch sets the value of SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all sched entities by a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution, we can handle deeper cgroup hiearchies and the scheduler can do better shares distribution and load load balancing on larger systems (especially for low weight task groups). This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled weights are only used internally. We do not modify prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use the original weights when calculating the inverse which is used to scale execution time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose accuracy when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to Nikunj Dadhania for fixing an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness. Below is some analysis of the performance costs/improvements of this patch. 1. Micro-arch performance costs: Experiment was to run Ingo's pipe_test_100k 200 times with the task pinned to one cpu. I measured instruction, cycles and stalled-cycles for the runs. See: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389 for more info. -tip (baseline): Performance counter stats for '/root/load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs): 964,991,769 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle # 0.33 stalled cycles per insn # ( +- 0.05% ) 1,171,186,635 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% ) 306,373,664 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.16% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% ) 314,933,621 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.89% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.34% ) 1.122405684 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% ) -tip+patches: Performance counter stats for './load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs): 963,624,821 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle # 0.33 stalled cycles per insn # ( +- 0.04% ) 1,175,215,649 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% ) 315,321,126 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.83% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% ) 316,835,873 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.96% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.29% ) 1.122238659 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.06% ) With this patch, instructions decrease by ~0.10% and cycles increase by 0.27%. This doesn't look statistically significant. The number of stalled cycles in the backend increased from 26.16% to 26.83%. This can be attributed to the shifts we do in c_d_m() and other places. The fraction of stalled cycles in the frontend remains about the same, at 26.96% compared to 26.89% in -tip. 2. Balancing low-weight task groups Test setup: run 50 tasks with random sleep/busy times (biased around 100ms) in a low weight container (with cpu.shares = 2).

This is a preparatory patch for increasing the resolution of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE, and there is no need to increase resolution for cpu_power calculations.

Now the hrtimer bases have their own enumeration due to the gap between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME. So we can be more clever as most timers end up on the CLOCK_MONOTONIC base due to the virtue of POSIX declaring that relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by time changes. In desktop environments this is slowly changing as applications switch to absolute timers, but I've observed empty CLOCK_REALTIME bases often enough. There is no performance penalty or overhead when CLOCK_REALTIME timers are active, but in case they are not we don't skip over a full cache line.

The match callback stores a pointer to the name in the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init() checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is dereferenced Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid as well. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we don't have an interface. Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are expired whenever the clock was set. The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

Now it is 60 seconds. For my particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing us to lose the panic info. This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition, watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo Molnar.

Profiling with a large number of audit rules active on the exit chain shows that we are spending upto 48% in this routine for syscall intensive tests, most of which is in the atomic ops. 1. The code should be accessing tsk->cred rather than tsk->real_cred. 2. Since tsk is current (or tsk is being created by copy_process) access to tsk->cred without rcu read lock is possible. At the request of the audit maintainer, a new flag has been added to audit_filter_rules in order to make this explicit and guide future code.

The benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets. 64B UDP batch pkts/sec 1 804570 2 872800 (+ 8 %) 4 916556 (+14 %) 8 939712 (+17 %) 16 952688 (+18 %) 32 956448 (+19 %) 64 964800 (+20 %) 64B raw socket batch pkts/sec 1 1201449 2 1350028 (+12 %) 4 1461416 (+22 %) 8 1513080 (+26 %) 16 1541216 (+28 %) 32 1553440 (+29 %) 64 1557888 (+30 %) We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30% on raw socket send.

It may or may not return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data. Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous, without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by volatile memory (memory that can be freed). This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false otherwise. Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition and document the function.

This patch moves the initial task_stopped_code() testing into wait_task_stopped() and make wait_consider_task() fall through to wait_task_continue() on 0 return. This is for the following two reasons. * Because the initial task_stopped_code() test is done without acquiring siglock, it may race against SIGCONT generation. The stopped condition might have been replaced by continued state by the time wait_task_stopped() acquired siglock. This may lead to unexpected failure of WNOHANG waits. This reorganization addresses this single race case but there are other cases - TASK_RUNNING -> TASK_STOPPED transition and EXIT_* transitions. * Scheduled ptrace updates require changes to the initial test which would fit better inside wait_task_stopped().

When do_wait() waits on signal->wait_chldexit, it uses a custom wake up callback, child_wait_callback(), which expects the child task which is waking up the parent to be passed in as @key to filter out spurious wakeups. task_clear_group_stop_trapping() used __wake_up_sync() which uses NULL @key causing the following oops if the parent was doing do_wait().

To keep the things simple this patch adds the new static helper, __set_task_blocked() which should be called with ->siglock held.
