Peter Zijlstra 88ec22d3ed sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu()
In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we
need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites.

The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from
se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on
enqueue.

However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since
we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative
position.

To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks,
we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and
activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the
min_vruntime invariance to that state.

The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to
maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue,
but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right
before we activate it again.

This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call
this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into
->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and
would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a
fudge.

This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork()
leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.

This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and
ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

for sched_fair task migration, hence rename the post wakeup hook
and one pre wakeup.

Peter Zijlstra 5da9a0fb67 sched: Fix select_task_rq() vs hotplug issues
Since select_task_rq() is now responsible for guaranteeing
->cpus_allowed and cpu_active_mask, we need to verify this.

select_task_rq_rt() can blindly return
smp_processor_id()/task_cpu() without checking the valid masks,
select_task_rq_fair() can do the same in the rare case that all
SD_flags are disabled.

Peter Zijlstra 3802290628 sched: Fix sched_exec() balancing
Since we access ->cpus_allowed without holding rq->lock we need

Peter Zijlstra e2912009fb sched: Ensure set_task_cpu() is never called on blocked tasks
In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need
to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage
does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage.

This puts the migration burden on ttwu().

Furthermore we need to close a race against changing
->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption
disabled.

For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the
tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves
sched_exec to be a problem

This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs
hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the
result against the sched_domain/root_domain.

Thomas Gleixner 9828ea9d75 locking: Further name space cleanups
The name space hierarchy for the internal lock functions is now a bit
backwards. raw_spin* functions map to _spin* which use __spin*, while
we would like to have _raw_spin* and __raw_spin*.

_raw_spin* is already used by lock debugging, so rename those funtions
to do_raw_spin* to free up the _raw_spin* name space.

No functional change.

We used to add these phantom weights to the total, so that the idle
per-cpu shares don't get inflated, this however causes the non-idle
parts to get deflated, causing unexpected weight distibutions.

Reverse this, so that the non-idle shares are correct but the idle

Remove the relyance on rq->clock, as any site calling set_task_cpu()
should also do a remote clock update, which should ensure the observed
time between these two cpus is monotonic, as per
kernel/sched_clock.c:sched_clock_remote().

Therefore we can simply remove the clock_offset bits and be happy.

Peter Zijlstra 6ad4c18884 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race
Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.

However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

Hidetoshi Seto 0cf55e1ec0 sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()
This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing
described in the thread:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522

Now cputime is accounted in the following way:

 - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread
   is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).

 - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time,
   after adjusted by task_times().

 - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time
   (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time
   in signal struct of the group's parent.

So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while
{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values.

And accounted values are used by:

 - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:
   This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw
   {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.

 - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:
   This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in
   the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of
   adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.

The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),
because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)

This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.
Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater
than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times
but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.
-5ms).

To fix this, we could do:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)

But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for
every thread should be avoided.

This patch fixes the above problem in the following way:

 - Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().
   It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead
   of adjusted values.  As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()
   to return pure sum of "raw" values.

 - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)
   that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted"
   values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().

 - Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced
   thread_group_times().  It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to
   have adjusted values like before this patch.

 - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().
   This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted"
   cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.
   (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.)

This patch have a positive side effect:

 - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads
   (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's
   cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated
   after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),
     {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0.
   After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is
   applied after accumulated.

v2:
 - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.

Hidetoshi Seto b7b20df91d sched, time: Define nsecs_to_jiffies()
Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some
problems:

 - The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so
   it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days.

 - msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument
   is set, assuming that input was negative value.  So it cannot
   convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too.

This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can
deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as
unsigned.

Hidetoshi Seto d180c5bcce sched: Introduce task_times() to replace task_{u,s}time() pair
Functions task_{u,s}time() are called in pair in almost all
cases.  However task_stime() is implemented to call task_utime()
from its inside, so such paired calls run task_utime() twice.

It means we do heavy divisions (div_u64 + do_div) twice to get
utime and stime which can be obtained at same time by one set
of divisions.

This patch introduces a function task_times(*tsk, *utime,
*stime) to retrieve utime and stime at once in better, optimized
way.

Heiko reported a case where a timer interrupt managed to

concurrent hot-un-plug operation.

Solve this like the regular sched_domain stuff is also
synchronized, by adding a synchronize_sched() stmt to the free
path, this ensures that a root_domain stays present for any
atomic section that could have observed it.

In finish_task_switch(), fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() is
called after finish_lock_switch().

However, depending on architecture, preemption can be enabled after
finish_lock_switch() which breaks the semantics of preempt
notifiers.

So move it before finish_arch_switch(). This also makes the in-
notifiers symmetric to out- notifiers in terms of locking - now
both are called under rq lock.

Hidetoshi Seto 761b1d26df sched: Fix granularity of task_u/stime()
Originally task_s/utime() were designed to return clock_t but
later changed to return cputime_t by following commit:

  commit efe567fc82
  Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
  Date:   Thu Aug 23 15:18:02 2007 +0200

It only changed the type of return value, but not the
implementation. As the result the granularity of task_s/utime()
is still that of clock_t, not that of cputime_t.

So using task_s/utime() in __exit_signal() makes values
accumulated to the signal struct to be rounded and coarse
grained.

This patch removes casts to clock_t in task_u/stime(), to keep
granularity of cputime_t over the calculation.

v2:
  Use div_u64() to avoid error "undefined reference to `__udivdi3`"
  on some 32bit systems.

Mike Galbraith 055a00865d sched: Fix/add missing update_rq_clock() calls
kthread_bind(), migrate_task() and sched_fork were missing
updates, and try_to_wake_up() was updating after having already
used the stale clock.

Aside from preventing potential latency hits, there' a side
benefit in that early boot printk time stamps become monotonic.

Peter Zijlstra ffd44db5f0 sched: Make sure task has correct sched_class after policy change
From the code in rt_mutex_setprio(), it is evident that the
intention is that task's with a RT 'prio' value as a consequence
of receiving a PI boost also have their 'sched_class' field set
to '&rt_sched_class'.

However, Peter noticed that the code in __setscheduler() could
result in this intention being frustrated. Fix it.

Commit 1b9508f, "Rate-limit newidle" has been confirmed to fix
the netperf UDP loopback regression reported by Alex Shi.

This is a cleanup and a fix:

 - moved to a more out of the way spot

 - fix to ensure that balancing doesn't try to balance
   runqueues which haven't gone online yet, which can
   mess up CPU enumeration during boot.

Rusty Russell acc3f5d7ca cpumask: Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_t
Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask
*doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t.  You can't
have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan
for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the
same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires
multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case.
Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains()
functions.

Jiri Kosina 4a6cc4bd32 sched: move rq_weight data array out of .percpu
Commit 34d76c41 introduced percpu array update_shares_data, size of which
being proportional to NR_CPUS. Unfortunately this blows up ia64 for large
NR_CPUS configuration, as ia64 allows only 64k for .percpu section.

Fix this by allocating this array dynamically and keep only pointer to it
percpu.

The per-cpu handling doesn't impose significant performance penalty on
potentially contented path in tg_shares_up().

Ryota Ozaki ce0e7b28fb sched, cpuacct: Fix niced guest time accounting
CPU time of a guest is always accounted in 'user' time
without concern for the nice value of its counterpart
process although the guest is scheduled under the nice
value.

This patch fixes the defect and accounts cpu time of
a niced guest in 'nice' time as same as a niced process.

And also the patch adds 'guest_nice' to cpuacct. The
value provides niced guest cpu time which is like 'nice'
to 'user'.

Mike Galbraith f685ceacab sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies
This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing
pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also
switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely
mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which
improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp
scalability.

Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the
point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely
sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively,
which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing
aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp
throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is
actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the
desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service.
Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale.

To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing
wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time.

Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

Supporting performance tests:

Wu Fengguang d25105e891 writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowait
It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked
due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter.

There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.

If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

Ben Blum be367d0992 cgroups: let ss->can_attach and ss->attach do whole threadgroups at a time
Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with
a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc.  (This is a
pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.)

Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader.  No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right
information.

Arjan van de Ven 69d25870f2 cpuidle: fix the menu governor to boost IO performance
Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency
and performance impact.

The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious
performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server
systems.

To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results:
(benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll")

		no cstates	current linux	new algorithm
1 disk		107 Mb/s	85 Mb/s		105 Mb/s
2 disks		215 Mb/s	123 Mb/s	209 Mb/s
12 disks	590 Mb/s	320 Mb/s	585 Mb/s

In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our
measurement&diagnostics team.  Obviously a small percentage more power was
used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance.

While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this
commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code
instead.

[changes since first post: spelling fixes from akpm, review feedback,
folded menu-tng into menu.c]

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().

Modify sched_balance_self() to:

  - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
    (it only called it for the top domain, but it should
     have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
    this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().

  - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
    both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
    WAKE invocations.

Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().

This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.

SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.

Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

Peter Zijlstra e9c8431185 sched: Add TASK_WAKING
We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a
longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent
waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding
rq->lock.

So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates
someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state
& state).

We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu().

Calculate it in a temporary variable instead. (we need no memory

Peter Zijlstra 34d76c4155 sched: Fix division by zero - really
When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu
representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the
total weight of the sched domain.

Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the
weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and
calculating the ratio.

The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios,
this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the
individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent
set.

Tejun Heo 384be2b18a Merge branch 'percpu-for-linus' into percpu-for-next
Conflicts:
	arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c
	arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_counter.c
	arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c
	drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_ondemand.c
	mm/percpu.c

Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit
ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many
num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids.  As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

Stanislaw Gruszka a42548a188 cputime: Optimize jiffies_to_cputime(1)
For powerpc with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
jiffies_to_cputime(1) is not compile time constant and run time
calculations are quite expensive. To optimize we use
precomputed value. For all other architectures is is
preprocessor definition.

Gregory Haskins 00aec93d10 sched: Fully integrate cpus_active_map and root-domain code
Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of
the online_map.

The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code
(such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active"
anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active
map, we allow several optimizations.

For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the
scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now
a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

Gregory Haskins 3f029d3c6d sched: Enhance the pre/post scheduling logic
We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which
returns a stack variable for whether we should later run
post-schedule.  This leads to an awkward exchange of the
variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter
Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the
run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack.

Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch
return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable
when we require further processing.

In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access
current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock.  This is
technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from
under us.  Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule
variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption
disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock.

Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef
CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement
some inline helper functions instead.

This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.
