sched: prefer wakers Prefer tasks that wake other tasks to preempt quickly. This improves performance because more work is available sooner. The workload that prompted this patch was a kernel build over NFS4 (for some curious and not understood reason we had to revert commit: 18de9735300756e3ca9c361ef58409d8561dfe0d to make any progress at all) Without this patch a make -j8 bzImage (of x86-64 defconfig) would take 3m30-ish, with this patch we're down to 2m50-ish. psql-sysbench/mysql-sysbench show a slight improvement in peak performance as well, tbench and vmark seemed to not care. It is possible to improve upon the build time (to 2m20-ish) but that seriously destroys other benchmarks (just shows that there's more room for tinkering). Much thanks to Mike who put in a lot of effort to benchmark things and proved a worthy opponent with a competing patch.

sched: disable the hrtick for now David Miller reported that hrtick update overhead has tripled the wakeup overhead on Sparc64. That is too much - disable the HRTICK feature for now by default, until a faster implementation is found.

sched: fix calc_delta_asym() calc_delta_asym() is supposed to do the same as calc_delta_fair() except linearly shrink the result for negative nice processes - this causes them to have a smaller preemption threshold so that they are more easily preempted. The problem is that for task groups se->load.weight is the per cpu share of the actual task group weight; take that into account. Also provide a debug switch to disable the asymmetry (which I still don't like - but it does greatly benefit some workloads) This would explain the interactivity issues reported against group scheduling.

sched: update shares on wakeup We found that the affine wakeup code needs rather accurate load figures to be effective. The trouble is that updating the load figures is fairly expensive with group scheduling. Therefore ratelimit the updating.

sched: backward looking buddy Impact: improve/change/fix wakeup-buddy scheduling Currently we only have a forward looking buddy, that is, we prefer to schedule to the task we last woke up, under the presumption that its going to consume the data we just produced, and therefore will have cache hot benefits. This allows co-waking producer/consumer task pairs to run ahead of the pack for a little while, keeping their cache warm. Without this, we would interleave all pairs, utterly trashing the cache. This patch introduces a backward looking buddy, that is, suppose that in the above scenario, the consumer preempts the producer before it can go to sleep, we will therefore miss the wakeup from consumer to producer (its already running, after all), breaking the cycle and reverting to the cache-trashing interleaved schedule pattern. The backward buddy will try to schedule back to the task that woke us up in case the forward buddy is not available, under the assumption that the last task will be the one with the most cache hot task around barring current. This will basically allow a task to continue after it got preempted. In order to avoid starvation, we allow either buddy to get wakeup_gran ahead of the pack.

mutex: implement adaptive spinning Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks. This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins. Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox: # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 296604 # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 85870 The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning instead of blocking/scheduling. Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in the slowpath. Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code, there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y), by issuing the following command: # echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default): # echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
