sched: add a new arch_sd_local_flags for sched_domain init

Date	Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:52:15 +0200

The function arch_sd_local_flags is used to set flags in sched_domains
according to the platform architecture. A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is
also created to reflect whether groups of CPUs in a sched_domain level can or
not reach different power state. As an example, the flag should be cleared at
CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated independently. This information
is used to decide if it's worth packing some tasks in a group of CPUs in order
to power gate the other groups instead of spreading the tasks. The default
behavior of the scheduler is to spread tasks across CPUs and groups of CPUs so
the flag is set into all sched_domains.

The cpu parameter of arch_sd_local_flags can be used by architecture to fine
tune the scheduler domain flags. As an example SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN flag can be
set differently for groups of CPUs according to DT information

ARM: sched: clear SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN

Fri Oct 18 07:54:53 EDT 2013

The ARM platforms take advantage of packing tasks on few cores if the latters
can be powergated independantly. We use DT and the cpu topology descirption
to define at which level a core can be independantly powergated to the others
and the SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN will be set accordingly at MC and CPU sched_domain
level.

The power-gate properties should be added with the value 1 in cpu and cluster
node when then can power gate independantly from the other.

As an example of a quad cores system which can power gate each core
independantly, we should have a DT similar to the example below

	cpus {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;

	       cpu-map {
	               cluster0 {
				power-gate = <1>;
				core0 {
	                               cpu = <&cpu0>;
					power-gate = <1>;
				};
				core1 {
				        cpu = <&cpu1>;
					power-gate = <1>;
				};
				core2 {
					cpu = <&cpu2>;
					power-gate = <1>;
				};
				core3 {
					cpu = <&cpu3>;
					power-gate = <1>;
				};
			};
		};

	...

	};

sched: define pack buddy CPUs

Date	Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:52:16 +0200

During the creation of sched_domain, we define a pack buddy CPU for each CPU
when one is available. We want to pack at all levels where a group of CPUs can
be power gated independently from others.
On a system that can't power gate a group of CPUs independently, the flag is
set at all sched_domain level and the buddy is set to -1. This is the default
behavior for all architectures.

On a dual clusters / dual cores system which can power gate each core and
cluster independently, the buddy configuration will be :

      | Cluster 0   | Cluster 1   |
      | CPU0 | CPU1 | CPU2 | CPU3 |
-----------------------------------
buddy | CPU0 | CPU0 | CPU0 | CPU2 |

If the cores in a cluster can't be power gated independently, the buddy
configuration becomes:

      | Cluster 0   | Cluster 1   |
      | CPU0 | CPU1 | CPU2 | CPU3 |
-----------------------------------
buddy | CPU0 | CPU1 | CPU0 | CPU0 |

sched: do load balance only with packing cpus

Date	Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:52:17 +0200

The tasks will be scheduled only on the CPUs that participate to the packing
effort. A CPU participates to the packing effort when it is its own buddy.

For ILB, look for an idle CPU close to the packing CPUs whenever possible.
The goal is to prevent the wake up of a CPU which doesn't share the power
domain of the pack buddy CPU.

sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()

Now checking whether this cpu is appropriate to balance or not
is embedded into update_sg_lb_stats() and this checking has no direct
relationship to this function. There is not enough reason to place
this checking at update_sg_lb_stats(), except saving one iteration
for sched_group_cpus.

In this patch, I factor out this checking to should_we_balance() function.
And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is
appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not
a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately.

With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better
compiler optimization.

Below is result of this patch.

sched: Fix load balancing performance regression in should_we_balance()

Commit 23f0d20 ("sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()")
introduces the should_we_balance() function.  This function should
return 1 if this cpu is appropriate for balancing. But the newly
introduced code doesn't do so, it returns 0 instead of 1.

This introduces performance regression, reported by Dave Chinner:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s
3.12-git                180k files/s            185k files/s
3.12-git-revert         245k files/s            247k files/s

You can find more detailed information at:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/10/1

This patch corrects the return value of should_we_balance()
function as orignally intended.

With this patch, Dave Chinner reports that the regression is gone:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s

sched: update the packing cpu list

Use the activity statistics to update the list of CPUs that should be used
to hanlde the current system activity.

The cpu_power is updated for CPUs that don't participate to the packing
effort. We consider that their cpu_power is allocated to idleness as it
could be allocated by rt. So the cpu_power that remains available for cfs,
is set to min value (i.e. 1).

The cpu_power is used for a task that wakes up because a waking up task is
already taken into account in the current activity whereas we use the
power_available for a fork and exec because the task is not part of the current
activity.

In order to quickly found the packing starting point, we save information that
will be used to directly start with the right sched_group at the right
sched_domain level instead of running the complete update_packing_domain
algorithm each time we need to use the packing cpu list.

The sd_power_leader defines the leader of a group of CPU that can't be
powergated independantly. As soon as this CPU is used, all the CPU in the same
group will be used based on the fact that it doesn't worth to keep some cores
idle if they can't be power gated while one core in the group is running.
The sd_pack_group and sd_pack_domain are used to quickly check if a power
leader should be used in the packing effort
