2009-09-15sched: Add WF_FORKPeter Zijlstra
Avoid the cache buddies from biasing the time distribution away from fork()ers. Normally the next buddy will be the preferred scheduling target, but this makes fork()s prefer to run the new child, whereas we prefer to run the parent, since that will generate more work.

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.. Put in a knob to disable it. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
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.

Make the idle balancer more agressive, to improve a x264 encoding workload provided by Jason Garrett-Glaser: NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS encoded 600 frames, 252.82 fps, 22096.60 kb/s encoded 600 frames, 250.69 fps, 22096.60 kb/s encoded 600 frames, 245.76 fps, 22096.60 kb/s NO_NEXT_BUDDY LB_BIAS encoded 600 frames, 344.44 fps, 22096.60 kb/s encoded 600 frames, 346.66 fps, 22096.60 kb/s encoded 600 frames, 352.59 fps, 22096.60 kb/s NO_NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS encoded 600 frames, 425.75 fps, 22096.60 kb/s encoded 600 frames, 425.45 fps, 22096.60 kb/s encoded 600 frames, 422.49 fps, 22096.60 kb/s Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx, not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago. 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
One of the problems of power-saving balancing is that under certain scenarios it is too slow and allows tons of real work to pile up.

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>
