sched: Move update_other_load_avgs() to kernel/sched/pelt.c

2024-09-12T06:00:21+00:00

96fd6c65efc6 ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from
__update_blocked_others()") added update_other_load_avgs() in
kernel/sched/syscalls.c right above effective_cpu_util(). This location
didn't fit that well in the first place, and with 5d871a63997f ("sched/fair:
Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c") moving
effective_cpu_util() to kernel/sched/fair.c, it looks even more out of
place.

Relocate the function to kernel/sched/pelt.c where all its callees are.

No functional changes.

sched/cpufreq: Rename arch_update_thermal_pressure() => arch_update_hw_pressure()

2024-04-24T10:08:01+00:00

Now that cpufreq provides a pressure value to the scheduler, rename
arch_update_thermal_pressure into HW pressure to reflect that it returns
a pressure applied by HW (i.e. with a high frequency change) and not
always related to thermal mitigation but also generated by max current
limitation as an example. Such high frequency signal needs filtering to be
smoothed and provide an value that reflects the average available capacity
into the scheduler time scale.

sched/balancing: Fix a couple of outdated function names in comments

2024-03-12T11:00:01+00:00

The 'idle_balance()' function hasn't existed for years, and there's no
load_balance_newidle() either - both are sched_balance_newidle() today.

sched: Make PELT acronym definition searchable

2023-10-13T07:56:30+00:00

The PELT acronym definition can be found right at the top of
kernel/sched/pelt.c (of course), but it cannot be found through use of

grep -r PELT kernel/sched/

Add the acronym "(PELT)" after "Per Entity Load Tracking" at the top of
the source file.

sched/headers: Introduce kernel/sched/build_policy.c and build multiple .c files there

2022-02-23T09:58:33+00:00

Similarly to kernel/sched/build_utility.c, collect all 'scheduling policy' related
source code files into kernel/sched/build_policy.c:

    kernel/sched/idle.c

    kernel/sched/rt.c

    kernel/sched/cpudeadline.c
    kernel/sched/pelt.c

    kernel/sched/cputime.c
    kernel/sched/deadline.c

With the exception of fair.c, which we continue to build as a separate file
for build efficiency and parallelism reasons.

sched: Add a tracepoint to track rq->nr_running

2020-07-08T09:39:02+00:00

Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks
->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and
provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the
form of a heat map.  The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external
kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including
the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at:

  https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git

A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be
found at:

  https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running

The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which
are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in
the header a wrapper call is used and the trace/events/sched.h include
is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.
