2009-09-18sched_clock: Make it NMI safePeter Zijlstra
Arjan complained about the suckyness of TSC on modern machines, and asked if we could do something about that for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME. Make cpu_clock() NMI safe by removing the spinlock and using cmpxchg. This also makes it smaller and more robust. Affects architectures that use HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, i.e. IA64 and x86.

2009-09-18x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow handlingMarkus Metzger
Draining the BTS buffer on a buffer overflow interrupt takes too long resulting in a kernel lockup when tracing the kernel. Restructure perf_counter sampling into sample creation and sample output. Prepare a single reference sample for BTS sampling and update the from and to address fields when draining the BTS buffer. Drain the entire BTS buffer between a single perf_output_begin() / perf_output_end() pair.

2009-09-18tracing: Allocate the ftrace event profile buffer dynamicallyFrederic Weisbecker
Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays. Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace. The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between them and the first buffer. The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event. v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by Steven Rostedt. v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

2009-09-18rcu: Fix synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney
The redirection of synchronize_sched() to synchronize_rcu() was appropriate for TREE_RCU, but not for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Fix this by creating an underlying synchronize_sched(). TREE_RCU then redirects synchronize_rcu() to synchronize_sched(), while TREE_PREEMPT_RCU has its own version of synchronize_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-09-18rcu: Simplify rcu_read_unlock_special() quiescent-state accountingPaul E. McKenney
The earlier approach required two scheduling-clock ticks to note an preemptable-RCU quiescent state in the situation in which the scheduling-clock interrupt is unlucky enough to always interrupt an RCU read-side critical section. With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent context switch. Therefore, this change also speeds up grace periods. Suggested-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-09-18rcu: Need to update rnp->gpnum if preemptable RCU is to be reliablePaul E. McKenney
Without this patch, tasks preempted in RCU read-side critical sections can fail to block the grace period, given that rnp->gpnum is used to determine which rnp->blocked_tasks[] element the preempted task is enqueued on. Before the patch, rnp->gpnum is always zero, so preempted tasks are always enqueued on rnp->blocked_tasks[0], which is correct only when the current CPU has not checked into the current grace period and the grace-period number is even, or, similarly, if the current CPU -has- checked into the current grace period and the grace-period number is odd.

2009-09-17perf_counter: Allow for a wakeup watermarkPeter Zijlstra
Currently we wake the mmap() consumer once every PAGE_SIZE of data and/or once event wakeup_events when specified. For high speed sampling this results in too many wakeups wrt. the buffer size, hence change this. We move the default wakeup limit to 1/4-th the buffer size, and provide for means to manually specify this limit.

However, swcounter that contribute only a single count per event can only come as fast as we can run code, hence don't throttle them.

2009-09-17sched: Stop buddies from hogging the systemPeter Zijlstra
Clear buddies more agressively. The (theoretical, haven't actually observed any of this) problem is that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity() because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not clear the buddies. This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.

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.

In order to extend the functions to have more than 1 flag (sync), rename the argument to flags, and explicitly define a WF_ space for individual flags. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In order to be able to rename the sync argument, we need to rename the current flag argument. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
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>

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.
