Peter Zijlstra (Intel) ebc0f83c78 timers/nohz: Update NOHZ load in remote tick
The way loadavg is tracked during nohz only pays attention to the load
upon entering nohz.  This can be particularly noticeable if full nohz is
entered while non-idle, and then the cpu goes idle and stays that way for
a long time.

Use the remote tick to ensure that full nohz cpus report their deltas
within a reasonable time.

[ swood: Added changelog and removed recheck of stopped tick. ]

/*
* Global load-average calculations
*
* We take a distributed and async approach to calculating the global load-avg
* in order to minimize overhead.
*
* The global load average is an exponentially decaying average of nr_running +
* nr_uninterruptible.
*
* Once every LOAD_FREQ:
*
* nr_active = 0;
* for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
* nr_active += cpu_of(cpu)->nr_running + cpu_of(cpu)->nr_uninterruptible;
*
* avenrun[n] = avenrun[0] * exp_n + nr_active * (1 - exp_n)
*
* Due to a number of reasons the above turns in the mess below:
*
* - for_each_possible_cpu() is prohibitively expensive on machines with
* serious number of CPUs, therefore we need to take a distributed approach
* to calculating nr_active.
*
* \Sum_i x_i(t) = \Sum_i x_i(t) - x_i(t_0) | x_i(t_0) := 0
* = \Sum_i { \Sum_j=1 x_i(t_j) - x_i(t_j-1) }
*
* So assuming nr_active := 0 when we start out -- true per definition, we
* can simply take per-CPU deltas and fold those into a global accumulate
* to obtain the same result. See calc_load_fold_active().
*
* Furthermore, in order to avoid synchronizing all per-CPU delta folding
* across the machine, we assume 10 ticks is sufficient time for every
* CPU to have completed this task.
*
* This places an upper-bound on the IRQ-off latency of the machine. Then
* again, being late doesn't loose the delta, just wrecks the sample.
*
* - cpu_rq()->nr_uninterruptible isn't accurately tracked per-CPU because
* this would add another cross-CPU cacheline miss and atomic operation
* to the wakeup path. Instead we increment on whatever CPU the task ran
* when it went into uninterruptible state and decrement on whatever CPU
* did the wakeup. This means that only the sum of nr_uninterruptible over
* all CPUs yields the correct result.
*
* This covers the NO_HZ=n code, for extra head-aches, see the comment below.

/*
* Handle NO_HZ for the global load-average.
*
* Since the above described distributed algorithm to compute the global
* load-average relies on per-CPU sampling from the tick, it is affected by
* NO_HZ.
*
* The basic idea is to fold the nr_active delta into a global NO_HZ-delta upon
* entering NO_HZ state such that we can include this as an 'extra' CPU delta
* when we read the global state.
*
* Obviously reality has to ruin such a delightfully simple scheme:
*
* - When we go NO_HZ idle during the window, we can negate our sample
* contribution, causing under-accounting.
*
* We avoid this by keeping two NO_HZ-delta counters and flipping them
* when the window starts, thus separating old and new NO_HZ load.
*
* The only trick is the slight shift in index flip for read vs write.
*
* 0s 5s 10s 15s
* +10 +10 +10 +10
* |-|-----------|-|-----------|-|-----------|-|
* r:0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
* w:0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
*
* This ensures we'll fold the old NO_HZ contribution in this window while
* accumlating the new one.
*
* - When we wake up from NO_HZ during the window, we push up our
* contribution, since we effectively move our sample point to a known
* busy state.
*
* This is solved by pushing the window forward, and thus skipping the
* sample, for this CPU (effectively using the NO_HZ-delta for this CPU which
* was in effect at the time the window opened). This also solves the issue
* of having to deal with a CPU having been in NO_HZ for multiple LOAD_FREQ
* intervals.
*
* When making the ILB scale, we should try to pull this in as well.
