The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10684.51 ctxsw/s
Now start a cgroup perf stat:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
6674.61 ctxsw/s
That's a 37% penalty.
Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.
The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test
CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz
The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.
The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.
With this patch the same test now yields:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10775.30 ctxsw/s
Start perf stat with cgroup:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Run pong outside the cgroup:
$ /pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10687.80 ctxsw/s
The penalty is now less than 2%.
And the results for perf stat are correct:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz
Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.
If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz

There is no real reason to run blk_schedule_flush_plug() with
interrupts and preemption disabled.
Move it into schedule() and call it when the task is going voluntarily
to sleep. There might be false positives when the task is woken
between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really
different from being woken immediately after switching away.
This fixes a deadlock in the scheduler where the
blk_schedule_flush_plug() callchain enables interrupts and thereby
allows a wakeup to happen of the task that's going to sleep.

Block-IO and workqueues call into notifier functions from the
scheduler core code with interrupts and preemption disabled. These
calls should be made before entering the scheduler core.
To simplify this, separate the scheduler core code into
__schedule(). __schedule() is directly called from the places which
set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and from schedule(). This allows us to add the work
checks into schedule(), so they are only called when a task voluntary
goes to sleep.

Clean up cfs/rt runqueue initialization by moving group scheduling

Also, keep group scheduling as an add-on, so that things are only done

(This removes a redundant initalization during sched_init()).

If a task group is to be created and alloc_fair_sched_group() fails,
then the rt_bandwidth of the corresponding task group is not yet
initialized. The caller, sched_create_group(), starts a clean up
procedure which calls free_rt_sched_group() which unconditionally
destroys the not yet initialized rt_bandwidth.
This crashes or hangs the system in lock_hrtimer_base(): UP systems
dereference a NULL pointer, while SMP systems loop endlessly on a
condition that cannot become true.
This patch simply avoids the destruction of rt_bandwidth when the
initialization code path was not reached.

Use for_each_leaf_cfs_rq() instead of list_for_each_entry_rcu(), this
achieves that load_balance_fair() only iterates those task_groups that
actually have tasks on busiest, and that we iterate bottom-up, trying to
move light groups before the heavier ones.
No idea if it will actually work out to be beneficial in practice, does
anybody have a cgroup workload that might show a difference one way or
the other?

Ensure scheduler_ipi() calls irq_{enter,exit} when it does some actual
work. Traditionally we never did any actual work from the resched IPI
and all magic happened in the return from interrupt path.
Now that we do do some work, we need to ensure irq_{enter,exit} are
called so that we don't confuse things.
This affects things like timekeeping, NO_HZ and RCU, basically
everything with a hook in irq_enter/exit.
Explicit examples of things going wrong are:
sched_clock_cpu() -- has a callback when leaving NO_HZ state to take
a new reading from GTOD and TSC. Without this
callback, time is stuck in the past.
RCU -- needs in_irq() to work in order to avoid some nasty deadlocks

Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their
own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst
each-other.
This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because
sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the
16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap.
Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child
sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the
sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however
there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in
different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible.
In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's
sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power
structure such that we can uniquely track the power.

This patch makes update_rq_clock() aware of steal time.
The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time,
and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG
option itself, and can be compiled out independently of
the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it
is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be
disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments.
Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information
about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into
sched_rt_avg_update().
Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps
track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time,
this patch do it independently using another field,
prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time
accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock().

This patch accounts steal time time in account_process_tick.
If one or more tick is considered stolen in the current
accounting cycle, user/system accounting is skipped. Idle is fine,
since the hypervisor does not report steal time if the guest
is halted.
Accounting steal time from the core scheduler give us the
advantage of direct acess to the runqueue data. In a later
opportunity, it can be used to tweak cpu power and make
the scheduler aware of the time it lost.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

Markus reported that commit 317f394160 ("sched: Move the second half

Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results.
It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote
wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to
wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats.
Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks
to restore the normal flow of time.

Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes

Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

Introduce SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION, which scales is added to
SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and increases the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. This patch sets the value of
SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all
sched entities by a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution,
we can handle deeper cgroup hiearchies and the scheduler can do
better shares distribution and load load balancing on larger
systems (especially for low weight task groups).
This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled
weights are only used internally. We do not modify
prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use the original weights
when calculating the inverse which is used to scale execution
time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose
accuracy when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to
Nikunj Dadhania for fixing an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness.
Below is some analysis of the performance costs/improvements of
this patch.
1. Micro-arch performance costs:
Experiment was to run Ingo's pipe_test_100k 200 times with the
task pinned to one cpu. I measured instruction, cycles and
stalled-cycles for the runs. See:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389
for more info.
-tip (baseline):
Performance counter stats for '/root/load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
964,991,769 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.05% )
1,171,186,635 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% )
306,373,664 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.16% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% )
314,933,621 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.89% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.34% )
1.122405684 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% )
-tip+patches:
Performance counter stats for './load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
963,624,821 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.04% )
1,175,215,649 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% )
315,321,126 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.83% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% )
316,835,873 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.96% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.29% )
1.122238659 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.06% )
With this patch, instructions decrease by ~0.10% and cycles
increase by 0.27%. This doesn't look statistically significant.
The number of stalled cycles in the backend increased from
26.16% to 26.83%. This can be attributed to the shifts we do in
c_d_m() and other places. The fraction of stalled cycles in the
frontend remains about the same, at 26.96% compared to 26.89% in -tip.
2. Balancing low-weight task groups
Test setup: run 50 tasks with random sleep/busy times (biased
around 100ms) in a low weight container (with cpu.shares = 2).
Measure %idle as reported by mpstat over a 10s window.

SCHED_LOAD_SCALE is used to increase nice resolution and to
scale cpu_power calculations in the scheduler. This patch
introduces SCHED_POWER_SCALE and converts all uses of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE for scaling cpu_power to use SCHED_POWER_SCALE
instead.
This is a preparatory patch for increasing the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE, and there is no need to increase resolution
for cpu_power calculations.
