2009-09-17sched: Add new wakeup preemption mode: WAKEUP_RUNNINGPeter Zijlstra
Create a new wakeup preemption mode, preempt towards tasks that run shorter on avg. It sets next buddy to be sure we actually run the task we preempted for.

2009-09-16sched: Disable wakeup balancingPeter Zijlstra
Sysbench thinks SD_BALANCE_WAKE is too agressive and kbuild doesn't really mind too much, SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE picks up most of the slack. On a dual socket, quad core, dual thread nehalem system: sysbench (--num_threads=16): SD_BALANCE_WAKE-: 13982 tx/s SD_BALANCE_WAKE+: 15688 tx/s kbuild (-j16): SD_BALANCE_WAKE-: 47.648295846 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.312% ) SD_BALANCE_WAKE+: 47.608607360 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.026% ) (same within noise) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-09-16sched: Implement a gentler fair-sleepers featureIngo Molnar
Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS. FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time. GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets credited. The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic (quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their sleep time as if they were running.

2009-09-16sched: Add SD_PREFER_LOCALPeter Zijlstra
And turn it on for NUMA and MC domains. This improves locality in balancing decisions by keeping up to capacity amount of tasks local before looking for idle CPUs.

Currently we use overlap to weaken the SYNC hint, but allow it to set the hint as well. echo NO_SYNC_WAKEUP > /debug/sched_features echo SYNC_MORE > /debug/sched_features preserves pipe-test behaviour without using the WF_SYNC hint.

2009-09-15sched: Fix sync wakeups againPeter Zijlstra
The sync argument rename to introduce WF_* broke stuff by missing a local alias for an argument in __wake_up_common, fix it by using the more descriptive wake_flags name. This restores WF_SYNC propagation, which fixes wake_affine() behaviour, which fixes pipe-test.

2009-09-15sched: Add WF_FORKPeter Zijlstra

2009-09-15sched: Feature to disable APERF/MPERF cpu_powerPeter Zijlstra
I suspect a feed-back loop between cpuidle and the aperf/mperf cpu_power bits, where when we have idle C-states lower the ratio, which leads to lower cpu_power and then less load, which generates more idle time, etc..

2009-09-15x86: sched: Provide arch implementations using aperf/mperfPeter Zijlstra
APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power. APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode. APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions) This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

2009-09-15sched: Weaken SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCEPeter Zijlstra

2009-09-15sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()Peter Zijlstra
The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent RT interaction. To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self(). Modify sched_balance_self() to: - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree, (it only called it for the top domain, but it should have done this anyway), which allows us to remove this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up(). - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for WAKE invocations. Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle(). This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE. SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective. Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags -- platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

2009-09-15sched: Add TASK_WAKINGPeter Zijlstra
We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding rq->lock. So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state & state). We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu(). Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
