nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers

2015-09-02T08:33:22Z

The problem addressed in this patch is about affining unpinned timers. Adaptive or Full Dynticks CPUs are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due to firing of such timers on them. This patch will affine timers to online CPUs which are not full dynticks in NOHZ_FULL configured systems. It should not introduce overhead in nohz full off case due to static keys.

nohz: Restart nohz full tick from irq exit

2015-07-29T13:45:00Z

Restart the tick when necessary from the irq exit path. It makes nohz full more flexible, simplify the related IPIs and doesn't bring significant overhead on irq exit. In a longer term view, it will allow us to piggyback the nohz kick on the scheduler IPI in the future instead of sending a dedicated IPI that often doubles the scheduler IPI on task wakeup. This will require more changes though including careful review of resched_curr() callers to include nohz full needs.

nohz: Prevent tilegx network driver interrupts

2015-07-29T13:44:59Z

Normally the tilegx networking shim sends irqs to all the cores to distribute the load of processing incoming-packet interrupts, so that you can get to multiple Gb's of traffic inbound. However, in nohz_full mode we don't want to interrupt the nohz_full cores by default, so we limit the set of cores we use to only the online housekeeping cores. To make client code easier to read, we introduce a new nohz_full accessor, housekeeping_cpumask(), which returns a pointer to the housekeeping_mask if nohz_full is enabled, and otherwise returns the cpu_possible_mask.

tick/broadcast: Unbreak CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS=n build

2015-07-07T19:56:34Z

Making tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() independent from CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST broke the build for CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS=n because the function is not defined there. Provide a proper stub inline. Fixes: f32dd1170511 'tick/broadcast: Make idle check independent from mode and config' Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

tick/broadcast: Make idle check independent from mode and config

2015-07-07T16:46:47Z

Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode. If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based broadcast device is not evaluated. Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide proper subfunctions for the various config combinations. The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary. Provide checks for the trivial cases: - If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy - If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based. - If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the majority of cases. From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points. There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on the last minute for 4.1. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO, XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM, FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI, _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6 which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in Windows (Rafael J Wysocki). - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede). - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng). - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering (Rafael J Wysocki). - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki). - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit). - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov). - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause). - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo). - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki). - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki). - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki). - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar). - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi Kandoi). - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren). - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt, Rafael J Wysocki). - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian). - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko). - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki). - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J Wysocki). - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat). - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan). - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit Bhargava, Joe Konno). - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian). - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma, Fabian Frederick, Wang Long). - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance Points (Viresh Kumar). - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven). - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli). - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas). -

PM / sleep: Make suspend-to-idle-specific code depend on CONFIG_SUSPEND

2015-05-19T00:44:24Z

Since idle_should_freeze() is defined to always return 'false' for CONFIG_SUSPEND unset, all of the code depending on it in cpuidle_idle_call() is not necessary in that case. Make that code depend on CONFIG_SUSPEND too to avoid building it when it is not going to be used. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner

clockevents: Cleanup dead cpu explicitely

2015-04-03T06:44:37Z

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism, it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit calls instead of this monstrosity. Split out the cleanup function for a dead cpu and invoke it directly from the cpu down code. Make it conditional on CPU_HOTPLUG as well. Temporary change, will be refined in the future. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner [ Rebased, added clockevents_notify() removal ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
