delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task

2018-01-16T02:29:36+00:00

Before commit:

  e33a9bba85a8 ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler")

delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which
completed I/O.

This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting
for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue.

With e33a9bba85a8, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up().
In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that
the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.

But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet
context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the
wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated.

Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(),
so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.

sched/core: Optimize sched_feat() for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG builds

2017-11-09T06:35:08+00:00

When the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG support, we expect that
all SCHED_FEAT are turned into compile time constants being propagated
to support compiler optimizations.

Specifically, we expect that code blocks like this:

   if (sched_feat(FEATURE_NAME) [&& ]) {
	/* FEATURE CODE */
   }

are turned into dead-code in case FEATURE_NAME defaults to FALSE, and thus
being removed by the compiler from the finale image.

For this mechanism to properly work it's required for the compiler to
have full access, from each translation unit, to whatever is the value
defined by the sched_feat macro. This macro is defined as:

   #define sched_feat(x) (sysctl_sched_features & (1UL << __SCHED_FEAT_##x))

and thus, the compiler can optimize that code only if the value of
sysctl_sched_features is visible within each translation unit.

Since:

   029632fbb ("sched: Make separate sched*.c translation units")

the scheduler code has been split into separate translation units
however the definition of sysctl_sched_features is part of
kernel/sched/core.c while, for all the other scheduler modules, it is
visible only via kernel/sched/sched.h as an:

   extern const_debug unsigned int sysctl_sched_features

Unfortunately, an extern reference does not allow the compiler to apply
constants propagation. Thus, on !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel we still end up
with code to load a memory reference and (eventually) doing an unconditional
jump of a chunk of code.

This mechanism is unavoidable when sched_features can be turned on and off at
run-time. However, this is not the case for "production" kernels compiled with
!CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. In this case, sysctl_sched_features is just a constant value
which cannot be changed at run-time and thus memory loads and jumps can be
avoided altogether.

This patch fixes the case of !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel by declaring a local version
of the sysctl_sched_features constant for each translation unit. This will
ultimately allow the compiler to perform constants propagation and dead-code
pruning.

Tests have been done, with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG on a v4.14-rc8 with and without
the patch, by running 30 iterations of:

   perf bench sched messaging --pipe --thread --group 4 --loop 50000

on a 40 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz using the
powersave governor to rule out variations due to frequency scaling.

Statistics on the reported completion time:

                   count     mean       std     min       99%     max
  v4.14-rc8         30.0  15.7831  0.176032  15.442  16.01226  16.014
  v4.14-rc8+patch   30.0  15.5033  0.189681  15.232  15.93938  15.962

... show a 1.8% speedup on average completion time and 0.5% speedup in the
99 percentile.

sched/isolation: Move isolcpus= handling to the housekeeping code

2017-10-27T07:55:30+00:00

We want to centralize the isolation features, to be done by the housekeeping
subsystem and scheduler domain isolation is a significant part of it.

No intended behaviour change, we just reuse the housekeeping cpumask
and core code.

sched/isolation: Introduce housekeeping flags

2017-10-27T07:55:29+00:00

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation
features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL
without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler
isolation without NOHZ_FULL.

So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of
overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.

sched/isolation: Move housekeeping related code to its own file

2017-10-27T07:55:24+00:00

The housekeeping code is currently tied to the NOHZ code. As we are
planning to make housekeeping independent from it, start with moving
the relevant code to its own file.
