* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]:
This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current
idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs
are not migrated.
While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating
a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the
hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the
hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu.
So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the
next_event on the target cpu's clock_event_device.

When a thread is oom killed and fails to exit, it's helpful to know which
threads have access to memory reserves if the machine livelocks. This is
done by testing for the TIF_MEMDIE thread info flag and should be
displayed alongside stack traces to identify tasks that have access to
such reserves but are still stuck allocating pages, for instance.
It would probably be helpful in other cases as well, so all thread info
flags are emitted when showing a task.

Andrew Gallatin reported that IRQ and SOFTIRQ times were
sometime not reported correctly on recent kernels, and even
bisected to commit 457533a7d3
([PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting) as the first
bad commit.
Further analysis pointed that commit
79741dd357 ([PATCH] idle cputime
accounting) was the real cause of the problem.
account_process_tick() was not taking into account timer IRQ
interrupting the idle task servicing a hard or soft irq.
On mostly idle cpu, irqs were thus not accounted and top or
mpstat could tell user/admin that cpu was 100 % idle, 0.00 %
irq, 0.00 % softirq, while it was not.

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.
This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

Currently the nomination of idle-load balancer is done by choosing the first
idle cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask. This may not be power-efficient, since
such an idle cpu could come from a completely idle core/package thereby
preventing the whole core/package from being in a low-power state.
For eg, consider a quad-core dual package system. The cpu numbering need
not be sequential and can something like [0, 2, 4, 6] and [1, 3, 5, 7].
With sched_mc/smt_power_savings and the power-aware IRQ balance, we try to keep
as fewer Packages/Cores active. But the current idle load balancer logic
goes against this by choosing the first_cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask and not
taking the system topology into consideration.
Improve the algorithm to nominate the idle load balancer from a semi idle
cores/packages thereby increasing the probability of the cores/packages being
in deeper sleep states for longer duration.
The algorithm is activated only when sched_mc/smt_power_savings != 0.

This patchset introduces wakeup hints for some of the most popular (from
epoll POV) devices, so that epoll code can avoid spurious wakeups on its
waiters.
The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM,
carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to. So the
only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the
callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events
later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time. This can cause
spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the
caller is not interested into.
The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many
network sockets being monitored.
By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least
the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless
wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback.
Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on,
since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via
wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the
full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many
of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need
change too).
Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and
the ones that don't, are correctly handled. The former will gain some
efficiency though.
As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using
key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues. I tested it
(together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups
for the supported devices are correctly filtered.
Test program available here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c
This patch:
Nothing revolutionary here. Just using the available "key" that our
wakeup core already support. The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer,
since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers
around __wake_up_common().
The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between
borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from
__wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both. I chose the
former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".

system so that in future we could easily add other statistics like irq,
softirq, steal times etc easily.
v6
- Fixed a bug in the error path of cpuacct_create() (pointed by Li Zefan).
v5

operating on a 64bit variable here.
v4
- Remove comments in cpuacct_update_stats() which explained why rcu_read_lock()
was needed (as per Peter Zijlstra's review comments).
- Don't say that percpu_counter_read() is broken in Documentation/cpuacct.txt
as per KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki's review comments.
v3
- Fix a small race in the cpuacct hierarchy walk.
v2
- stime and utime now exported in clock_t units instead of msecs.
- Addressed the code review comments from Balbir and Li Zefan.
- Moved to -tip tree.
v1
- Moved the stime/utime accounting to cpuacct controller.

These functions protect the sampling of thread/process clock with

the sampling.
i.e.
The clock_gettime() may return
((accounted runtime before update) + (delta after update))
that is less than what it should be.
v2 -> v3:
- Rename static helper function __task_delta_exec()
to do_task_delta_exec() since -tip tree already has
a __task_delta_exec() of different version.
v1 -> v2:
- Revises comments of function and patch description.

Impact: fix cgroups race under rcu-preempt

This can race with the task's movement between cgroups. This race
can cause an access to freed ca pointer in cpuacct_charge() or access
to invalid cgroups pointer of the task. This will not happen with rcu or
tree rcu as cpuacct_charge() is called with preemption disabled. However if
rcupreempt is used, the race is seen. Thanks to Li Zefan for explaining this.

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.
It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor

Impact: cleanup
Create seperate helper functions to initialize the
power-savings-balance related variables, to update them and
to check if we have a scope for performing power-savings balance.
Add no-op inline functions for the !(CONFIG_SCHED_MC || CONFIG_SCHED_SMT)
case.
This will eliminate all the #ifdef jungle in find_busiest_group() and the
other helper functions.

Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization
We don't need to perform power_savings balance if either the
cpu is NOT_IDLE or if the sched_domain doesn't contain the
SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE flag set.
Currently, we check for these conditions multiple number of
times, even though these variables don't change over the scope
of find_busiest_group().
Check once, and store the value in the already exiting
"power_savings_balance" variable.

Move all the imbalance calculation out of find_busiest_group()
through this helper function.
With this change, the structure of find_busiest_group() will be
as follows:
- update_sched_domain_statistics.
- check if imbalance exits.
- update imbalance and return busiest.

Impact: cleanup, new schedstat ABI
Since they are used on in statistics and are always set to zero, the
following fields from struct rq have been removed: yld_exp_empty,
yld_act_empty and yld_both_empty.
Both Sched Debug and SCHEDSTAT_VERSION versions has also been
incremented since ABIs have been changed.
The schedtop tool has been updated to properly handle new version of
schedstat:

Impact: fix circular locking
Steven reports a circular locking from alloc_cpumask_var doing
a wakeup. We get rid of this using the tried-and-true technique
of using a per-cpu cpumask_var_t rather than doing an alloc
every time.
Simpler and more robust than a rare, implicit allocation within
an atomic codepath.
