sched/fair: Take the scheduling domain into account in select_idle_core()

2024-03-26T22:16:30Z

[ Upstream commit 23d04d8c6b8ec339057264659b7834027f3e6a63 ] When picking a CPU on task wakeup, select_idle_core() has to take into account the scheduling domain where the function looks for the CPU. This is because the "isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs from the domain to isolate them from other SMT siblings. This change replaces the set of CPUs allowed to run the task from p->cpus_ptr by the intersection of p->cpus_ptr and sched_domain_span(sd) which is stored in the 'cpus' argument provided by select_idle_cpu().

sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier

2024-02-20T17:38:05Z

On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall slowdowns for everything. So put a lock on the path in order to serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.

sched/fair: Fix frequency selection for non-invariant case

2024-01-16T09:41:25Z

Linus reported a ~50% performance regression on single-threaded workloads on his AMD Ryzen system, and bisected it to: 9c0b4bb7f630 ("sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation") When frequency invariance is not enabled, get_capacity_ref_freq(policy) is supposed to return the current frequency and the performance margin applied by map_util_perf(), enabling the utilization to go above the maximum compute capacity and to select a higher frequency than the current one. After the changes in 9c0b4bb7f630, the performance margin was applied earlier in the path to take into account utilization clampings and we couldn't get a utilization higher than the maximum compute capacity, and the CPU remained 'stuck' at lower frequencies. To fix this, we must use a frequency above the current frequency to get a chance to select a higher OPP when the current one becomes fully used. Apply the same margin and return a frequency 25% higher than the current one in order to switch to the next OPP before we fully use the CPU at the current one.

sched/fair: Fix tg->load when offlining a CPU

2023-12-29T12:22:03Z

When a CPU is taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups' load may remain and will negatively impact the calculation of the share of the online CPUs. To fix this bug, clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups' load and skip its contribution while it is inactive. Here's the reproducer of the anomaly, by Imran Khan: "So far I have encountered only one rather lengthy way of reproducing this issue, which is as follows: 1. Take a KVM guest (booted with 4 CPUs and can be scaled up to 124 CPUs) and create 2 custom cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/ cpu/test_group_2 2. Assign a CPU intensive workload to each of these cgroups and start the workload. For my tests I am using following app: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { unsigned long count, i, val; if (argc != 2) { printf("usage: ./a.out \n"); return 0; } count = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10); printf("Generating %lu random numbers \n", count); for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { val = rand(); val = val % 2; //usleep(1); } printf("Generated %lu random numbers \n", count); return 0; } Also since the system is booted with 4 CPUs, in order to completely load the system I am also launching 4 instances of same test app under: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/ 3. We can see that both of the cgroups get similar CPU time: # systemd-cgtop --depth 1 Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 - 5.5G - - /system.slice - - 5.7G - - /test_group_1 4 - - - - /test_group_2 3 - - - - /user.slice 31 - 56.5M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.6 5.5G - - /test_group_2 3 65.7 - - - /user.slice 29 55.1 48.0M - - /test_group_1 4 47.3 - - - /system.slice - 2.2 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.8 5.5G - - /test_group_1 4 62.9 - - - /user.slice 28 44.9 54.2M - - /test_group_2 3 44.7 - - - /system.slice - 0.9 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.4 5.5G - - /test_group_2 3 58.8 - - - /test_group_1 4 51.9 - - - /user.slice 30 39.3 59.6M - - /system.slice - 1.9 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.7 5.5G - - /test_group_1 4 60.9 - - - /test_group_2 3 57.9 - - - /user.slice 28 43.5 36.9M - - /system.slice - 3.0 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 395.0 5.5G - - /test_group_1 4 66.8 - - - /test_group_2 3 56.3 - - - /user.slice 29 43.1 51.8M - - /system.slice - 0.7 5.7G - - 4. Now move systemd-udevd to one of these test groups, say test_group_1, and perform scale up to 124 CPUs followed by scale down back to 4 CPUs from the host side. 5. Run the same workload i.e 4 instances of CPU hogger under /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu and one instance of CPU hogger each in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/test_group_2. It can be seen that test_group_1 (the one where systemd-udevd was moved) is getting much less CPU time than the test_group_2, even though at this point of time both of these groups have only CPU hogger running: # systemd-cgtop --depth 1 Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1219 - 5.4G - - /system.slice - - 5.6G - - /test_group_1 4 - - - - /test_group_2 3 - - - - /user.slice 26 - 91.3M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 394.3 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 82.7 - - - /test_group_1 4 14.3 - - - /system.slice - 0.8 5.6G - - /user.slice 26 0.4 91.2M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 394.6 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 67.4 - - - /system.slice - 24.6 5.6G - - /test_group_1 4 12.5 - - - /user.slice 26 0.4 91.2M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.2 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 60.9 - - - /system.slice - 27.9 5.6G - - /test_group_1 4 12.2 - - - /user.slice 26 0.4 91.2M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.2 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 69.4 - - - /test_group_1 4 13.9 - - - /user.slice 28 1.6 92.0M - - /system.slice - 1.0 5.6G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.6 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 59.3 - - - /test_group_1 4 14.1 - - - /user.slice 28 1.3 92.2M - - /system.slice - 0.7 5.6G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.5 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 67.2 - - - /test_group_1 4 11.5 - - - /user.slice 28 1.3 92.5M - - /system.slice - 0.6 5.6G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.1 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 76.8 - - - /test_group_1 4 12.9 - - - /user.slice 28 1.3 92.8M - - /system.slice - 1.2 5.6G - - From sched_debug data it can be seen that in bad case the load.weight of per-CPU sched entities corresponding to test_group_1 has reduced significantly and also load_avg of test_group_1 remains much higher than that of test_group_2, even though systemd-udevd stopped running long time back and at this point of time both cgroups just have the CPU hogger app as running entity."
