sched/eevdf: More PELT vs DELAYED_DEQUEUE

2024-12-09T10:48:09+00:00

Vincent and Dietmar noted that while
commit fc1892becd56 ("sched/eevdf: Fixup PELT vs DELAYED_DEQUEUE") fixes
the entity runnable stats, it does not adjust the cfs_rq runnable stats,
which are based off of h_nr_running.

Track h_nr_delayed such that we can discount those and adjust the
signal.

sched: Split scheduler and execution contexts

2024-10-14T10:52:42+00:00

Let's define the "scheduling context" as all the scheduler state
in task_struct for the task chosen to run, which we'll call the
donor task, and the "execution context" as all state required to
actually run the task.

Currently both are intertwined in task_struct. We want to
logically split these such that we can use the scheduling
context of the donor task selected to be scheduled, but use
the execution context of a different task to actually be run.

To this purpose, introduce rq->donor field to point to the
task_struct chosen from the runqueue by the scheduler, and will
be used for scheduler state, and preserve rq->curr to indicate
the execution context of the task that will actually be run.

This patch introduces the donor field as a union with curr, so it
doesn't cause the contexts to be split yet, but adds the logic to
handle everything separately.

[add additional comments and update more sched_class code to use
 rq::proxy]
[jstultz: Rebased and resolved minor collisions, reworked to use
 accessors, tweaked update_curr_common to use rq_proxy fixing rt
 scheduling issues]

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.
