ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage

2016-12-25T16:21:22Z

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra

sched/idle: Add support for tasks that inject idle

2016-11-29T13:02:21Z

Idle injection drivers such as Intel powerclamp and ACPI PAD drivers use realtime tasks to take control of CPU then inject idle. There are two issues with this approach: 1. Low efficiency: injected idle task is treated as busy so sched ticks do not stop during injected idle period, the result of these unwanted wakeups can be ~20% loss in power savings. 2. Idle accounting: injected idle time is presented to user as busy. This patch addresses the issues by introducing a new PF_IDLE flag which allows any given task to be treated as idle task while the flag is set. Therefore, idle injection tasks can run through the normal flow of NOHZ idle enter/exit to get the correct accounting as well as tick stop when possible. The implication is that idle task is then no longer limited to PID == 0. Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Jacob Pan Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

sched: Extend scheduler's asym packing

2016-11-24T13:09:46Z

We generalize the scheduler's asym packing to provide an ordering of the cpu beyond just the cpu number. This allows the use of the ASYM_PACKING scheduler machinery to move loads to preferred CPU in a sched domain. The preference is defined with the cpu priority given by arch_asym_cpu_priority(cpu). We also record the most preferred cpu in a sched group when we build the cpu's capacity for fast lookup of preferred cpu during load balancing.

sched/fair: Fix hierarchical order in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list

2016-11-16T09:29:08Z

Fix the insertion of cfs_rq in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list to ensure that a child will always be called before its parent. The hierarchical order in shares update list has been introduced by commit: 67e86250f8ea ("sched: Introduce hierarchal order on shares update list") With the current implementation a child can be still put after its parent. Lets take the example of: root \ b /\ c d* | e* with root -> b -> c already enqueued but not d -> e so the leaf_cfs_rq_list looks like: head -> c -> b -> root -> tail The branch d -> e will be added the first time that they are enqueued, starting with e then d. When e is added, its parents is not already on the list so e is put at the tail : head -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail Then, d is added at the head because its parent is already on the list: head -> d -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail e is not placed at the right position and will be called the last whereas it should be called at the beginning. Because it follows the bottom-up enqueue sequence, we are sure that we will finished to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a parent that is already on the list. We can use this event to detect when we have finished to add a new branch. For the others, whose parents are not already added, we have to ensure that they will be added after their children that have just been inserted the steps before, and after any potential parents that are already in the list. The easiest way is to put the cfs_rq just after the last inserted one and to keep track of it untl the branch is fully added.

sched/fair: Add per-CPU min capacity to sched_group_capacity

2016-11-16T09:29:06Z

struct sched_group_capacity currently represents the compute capacity sum of all CPUs in the sched_group. Unless it is divided by the group_weight to get the average capacity per CPU, it hides differences in CPU capacity for mixed capacity systems (e.g. high RT/IRQ utilization or ARM big.LITTLE). But even the average may not be sufficient if the group covers CPUs of different capacities. Instead, by extending struct sched_group_capacity to indicate min per-CPU capacity in the group a suitable group for a given task utilization can more easily be found such that CPUs with reduced capacity can be avoided for tasks with high utilization (not implemented by this patch).
