![]() - Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements: - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems. Problem: On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary task migrations. Solution: The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest queue. - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection. This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves other key workloads unchanged. - Scheduler infrastructure improvements: - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it into the build_sched_topology() helper function and building it dynamically on the fly. - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code, and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe. - Fixes: - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken() - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge: - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations. - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling. - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq clock debugging code. - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger by creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in psi_trigger_destroy(). - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(), which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping groups. - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq->nr_uninterruptible - Cleanups: - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation to (maybe) enable this warning in the future. - Remove unused code - Mark more functions __init - Fix shadow-variable warnings Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJFBAABCgAvFiEEBpT5eoXrXCwVQwEKEnMQ0APhK1gFAmSatWQRHG1pbmdvQGtl cm5lbC5vcmcACgkQEnMQ0APhK1j62xAAuGOx1LcDfRGC6WGQzp1zOdlsVQtnDvlS qL58zYSHgizprpVQ3j87SBaG4CHCdvd2Bo36yW0lNZS4nd203qdq7fkrMb3hPP/w egUQUzMegf5fF6BWldKeMjuHSt+twFQz/ZAKK8iSbAir6CHNAqbNst1oL0i/+Tyk o33hBs1hT5tnbFb1NSVZkX4k+qT3LzTW4K2QgjjGtkScr6yHh2BdEVefyigWOjdo 9s02d00ll9a2r+F5txlN7Dnw6TN7rmTXGMOJU5bZvBE90/anNiAorMXHJdEKCyUR u9+JtBdJWiCplGa/tSRcxT16ZW1VdtTnd9q66TDhXREd2UNDFqBEyg5Wl77K4Tlf vKFajmj/to+cTbuv6m6TVR+zyXpdEpdL6F04P44U3qiJvDobBqeDNKHHIqpmbHXl AXUXcPWTVAzXX1Ce5M+BeAgTBQ1T7C5tELILrTNQHJvO1s9VVBRFZ/l65Ps4vu7T wIZ781IFuopk0zWqHovNvgKrJ7oFmOQQZFttQEe8n6nafkjI7u+IZ8FayiGaUMRr 4GawFGUCEdYh8z9qyslGKe8Q/Rphfk6hxMFRYUJpDmubQ0PkMeDjDGq77jDGl1PF VqwSDEyOaBJs7Gqf/mem00JtzBmXhkhm1SEjggHMI2IQbr/eeBXoLQOn3CDapO/N PiDbtX760ic= =EWQA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sched-core-2023-06-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements: - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.
