futex: Avoid taking hb lock if nothing to wakeup

Date	Thu, 2 Jan 2014 07:05:20 -0800

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com>

In futex_wake() there is clearly no point in taking the hb->lock if we know
beforehand that there are no tasks to be woken. While the hash bucket's plist
head is a cheap way of knowing this, we cannot rely 100% on it as there is a
racy window between the futex_wait call and when the task is actually added to
the plist. To this end, we couple it with the spinlock check as tasks trying to
enter the critical region are most likely potential waiters that will be added
to the plist, thus preventing tasks sleeping forever if wakers don't acknowledge
all possible waiters.

Furthermore, the futex ordering guarantees are preserved, ensuring that waiters
either observe the changed user space value before blocking or is woken by a
concurrent waker. For wakers, this is done by relying on the barriers in
get_futex_key_refs() -- for archs that do have implicit mb in atomic_inc() we
explicitly add them through a new futex_get_mm function. For waiters we rely
on the fact that spin_lock calls already update the head counter, so spinners
are visible even if the lock hasn't been acquired yet.

For more details please refer to the updated comments in the code and related
discussion: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/26/556

Special thanks to tglx for careful review and feedback.

sched: remove redundant update_runtime notifier

migration_call() will do all the things that update_runtime() does.
So it seems update_runtime() is a redundant notifier, remove it.

Furthermore, there is potential risk that the current code will catch
BUG_ON at line 687 of rt.c when do cpu hotplug while there are realtime
threads running because of enable runtime twice.

sched: reinitialize rq->next_balance when a CPU is hot-added

Reinitialize rq->next_balance when a CPU is hot-added.  Otherwise,
scheduler domain rebalancing may be skipped if rq->next_balance was
set to a future time when the CPU was last active, and the
newly-re-added CPU is in idle_balance().  As a result, the
newly-re-added CPU will remain idle with no tasks scheduled until the
softlockup watchdog runs - potentially 4 seconds later.  This can
waste energy and reduce performance.

This behavior can be observed in some SoC kernels, which use CPU
hotplug to dynamically remove and add CPUs in response to load.  In
one case that triggered this behavior,

0. the system started with all cores enabled, running multi-threaded
   CPU-bound code;

1. the system entered some single-threaded code;

2. a CPU went idle and was hot-removed;

3. the system started executing a multi-threaded CPU-bound task;

4. the CPU from event 2 was re-added, to respond to the load.

The time interval between events 2 and 4 was approximately 300
milliseconds.

Of course, ideally CPU hotplug would not be used in this manner,
but this patch does appear to fix a real bug.

Nvidia folks: this patch is submitted as at least a partial fix for
bug 1243368 ("[sched] Load-balancing not happening correctly after
cores brought online")

Input: Send events one packet at a time

On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency
can be as high as 250 us.  By accumulating a frame worth of data
before passing it on, the latency can be dramatically reduced.  As a
side effect, the special EV_SYN handling can be removed, since the
frame is now atomic.

This patch adds the events() handler callback and uses it if it
exists. The latency is improved by 50 us even without the callback.

Input: Improve the events-per-packet estimate

The events-per-packet estimate has so far been used by MT devices
only. This patch adjusts the packet buffer size to also accomodate the
KEY and MSC events.  Keyboards normally send one or two keys at a
time. MT devices normally send a number of button keys along with the
MT information.  The buffer size chosen here covers those cases, and
matches the default buffer size in evdev. Since the input estimate is
now preferred, remove the special input-mt estimate.

block: fiops ioscheduler core FIOPS (Fair IOPS) ioscheduler
 is IOPS based ioscheduler, so only targets for drive without I/O seek. It's
 quite similar like CFQ, but the dispatch decision is made according to IOPS
 instead of slice.

The algorithm is simple. Drive has a service tree, and each task lives in
the tree. The key into the tree is called vios (virtual I/O). Every request
has vios, which is calculated according to its ioprio, request size and so
on. Task's vios is the sum of vios of all requests it dispatches. FIOPS
always selects task with minimum vios in the service tree and let the task
dispatch request. The dispatched request's vios is then added to the task's
vios and the task is repositioned in the sevice tree.

Unlike CFQ, FIOPS doesn't have separate sync/async queues, because with I/O
less writeback, usually a task can only dispatch either sync or async requests.
Bias read or write request can still be done with read/write scale.

One issue is if workload iodepth is lower than drive queue_depth, IOPS
share of a task might not be strictly according to its priority, request
size and so on. In this case, the drive is in idle actually. Solving the
problem need make drive idle, so impact performance. I believe CFQ isn't
completely fair between tasks in such case too.
