sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface

2017-03-02T07:50:49+00:00

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:

  acb04058de49 ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")

... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.

The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.

Solve this by doing two things:

 - tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
   state for the normal (!paravirt) case.

 - only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
   when we use native_sched_clock().

The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:

  12907fbb1a69 ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")

... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:27+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:

   - There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
     the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
     problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
     a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
     debug facility.

     (Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)

   - Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
     nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
     implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
     Weisbecker)

   - Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)

   - Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
     changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)

   - ... plus a round of sched/rt and sched/deadline fixes, plus other
     fixes, updats and cleanups"

x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Zen SMT topology

2017-02-05T11:18:45+00:00

After:

  a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

our  SMT scheduling topology for Fam17h systems is broken, because
the ThreadId is included in the ApicId when SMT is enabled.

So, without further decoding cpu_core_id is unique for each thread
rather than the same for threads on the same core. This didn't affect
systems with SMT disabled. Make cpu_core_id be what it is defined to be.

x86/CPU/AMD: Bring back Compute Unit ID

2017-02-05T11:18:45+00:00

Commit:

  a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.

Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.

That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.

When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash

2017-01-20T01:38:46+00:00

Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug.

This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never
mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore
set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface.

The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all
relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable()
where appropriate.

Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64
and parisc are trivial in that they never called
set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to
clear_sched_clock_stable() to them.

For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to
do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta
have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now
get an explicit mark unstable.

x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology

2017-01-06T07:37:41+00:00

The following commit:

  8196dab4fc15 ("x86/cpu: Get rid of compute_unit_id")

... broke the initial strategy for Bulldozer-based cores' topology,
where we consider each thread of a compute unit a standalone core
and not a HT or SMT thread.

Revert to the firmware-supplied core_id numbering and do not make
them thread siblings as we don't consider them for such even if they
technically are, more or less.

Pull x86 idle updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were two bigger changes in this development cycle:

   - remove idle notifiers:

       32 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 803 deletions(-)

     These notifiers were of questionable value and the main usecase,
     the i7300 driver, was essentially unmaintained and can be removed,
     plus modern power management concepts don't need the callback - so
     use this golden opportunity and get rid of this opaque and fragile
     callback from a latency sensitive code path.

   - improve the AMD Erratum 400 workaround that used high overhead MSR
     polling in the idle loop (Borisla Petkov, Thomas Gleixner)"
