sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usage

Testing/Modified for 3.4.y from 6acce3ef upstream.

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:

 - sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
   'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.

 - sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
   task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
   also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
   stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
   sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
   mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.

 - sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
   either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
    * cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
      for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
      thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
    * set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
      preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
      races explicitly where it releases them.

 - reinit_sched_domains(); we shouldn't need to hotplug here. In fact,
   this has likely been the thorn in my side, causing mpdecision to
   break on sched_mc_power_savings changes.

hrtimer: Consider preemption when migrating hrtimer cpu_bases

Date	Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:07:47 -0700

When switching to a new cpu_base in switch_hrtimer_base(), we
briefly enable preemption by unlocking the cpu_base lock in two
places. During this interval it's possible for the running thread
to be swapped to a different CPU.

Consider the following example:

CPU #0                                 CPU #1
----                                   ----
hrtimer_start()                        ...
 lock_hrtimer_base()
 switch_hrtimer_base()
  this_cpu = 0;
  target_cpu_base = 0;
  raw_spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock)
<migrate to CPU 1>
...                                    this_cpu == 0
                                       cpu == this_cpu
                                       timer->base = CPU #0
                                       timer->base != LOCAL_CPU
Since the cached this_cpu is no longer accurate, we'll skip the
hrtimer_check_target() check. Once we eventually go to program
the hardware, we'll decide not to do so since it knows the real
CPU that we're running on is not the same as the chosen base. As
a consequence, we may end up missing the hrtimer's deadline.

Fix this by updating the local CPU number each time we retake a
cpu_base lock in switch_hrtimer_base().

Another possibility is to disable preemption across the whole of
switch_hrtimer_base. This looks suboptimal since preemption
would be disabled while waiting for lock(s).

hrtimer: Prevent enqueue of hrtimer on dead CPU

Date	Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:07:48 -0700

When switching the hrtimer cpu_base, we briefly allow for
preemption to become enabled by unlocking the cpu_base lock.
During this time, the CPU corresponding to the new cpu_base
that was selected may in fact go offline. In this scenario, the
hrtimer is enqueued to a CPU that's not online, and therefore
it never fires.

As an example, consider this example:

CPU #0                          CPU #1
----                            ----
...                             hrtimer_start()
                                 lock_hrtimer_base()
                                 switch_hrtimer_base()
                                  cpu = hrtimer_get_target() -> 1
                                  spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock)
                                <migrate thread to CPU #0>
                                <offline>
spin_lock(&new_base->lock)
this_cpu = 0
cpu != this_cpu
enqueue_hrtimer(cpu_base #1)
To prevent this scenario, verify that the CPU corresponding to
the new cpu_base is indeed online before selecting it in
hrtimer_switch_base(). If it's not online, fallback to using the
base of the current CPU.

mutex: Make more scalable by doing less atomic operations

Date	Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:37:57 -0400

In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into
the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be
issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a total
of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be issued in
rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache bouncing when many
tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the same time.

This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions used by
checking the counter value first before issuing the instruction. The
atomic_read() function is just a simple memory read. The atomic_xchg()
function, on the other hand, can be up to 2 order of magnitude or even
more in cost when compared with atomic_read(). By using atomic_read()
to check the value first before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a
lot of unnecessary cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this
change is that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit
less chance of getting the mutex when competing with another task
in the fast path.

The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the
mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed before
calling atomic_cmpxchg().

The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture can allow
any negative number to be used in the mutex count to indicate that some
tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so sure if that is the case
for the other architectures. So the default is to avoid atomic_xchg()
if the count has already been set to -1. For x86, the check is modified
to include all negative numbers to cover a larger case.

The following table shows the jobs per minutes (JPM) scalability data
on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl
command is used to restrict the running of the high_systime workloads
to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading on and off.

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%. So
they are not that interesting.

AIM7 benchmark run has a pretty large run-to-run variance due to random
nature of the subtests executed. So a difference of less than +-5%
may not be really significant.

This patch improves high_systime workload performance at 4 nodes
and up by maintaining transaction rates without significant drop-off
at high node count.  The patch has practically no impact on 1 and 2
nodes system.

The table below shows the percentage time (as reported by perf
record -a -s -g) spent on the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function by
the high_systime workload at 1500 users for 2/4/8-node configurations
with hyperthreading off.

It is obvious that the dramatic performance improvement at 8
nodes was due to the drastic cut in the time spent within the
__mutex_lock_slowpath() function.

mutex: Queue mutex spinners with MCS lock to reduce cacheline contention

Date	Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:37:58 -0400

The current mutex spinning code (with MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option turned
on) allow multiple tasks to spin on a single mutex concurrently. A
potential problem with the current approach is that when the mutex
becomes available, all the spinning tasks will try to acquire the
mutex more or less simultaneously. As a result, there will be a lot of
cacheline bouncing especially on systems with a large number of CPUs.

This patch tries to reduce this kind of contention by putting the
mutex spinners into a queue so that only the first one in the queue
will try to acquire the mutex. This will reduce contention and allow
all the tasks to move forward faster.

The queuing of mutex spinners is done using an MCS lock based
implementation which will further reduce contention on the mutex
cacheline than a similar ticket spinlock based implementation. This
patch will add a new field into the mutex data structure for holding
the MCS lock. This expands the mutex size by 8 bytes for 64-bit system
and 4 bytes for 32-bit system. This overhead will be avoid if the
MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option is turned off.

The following table shows the jobs per minute (JPM) scalability data
on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl
command is used to restrict the running of the fserver workloads to
1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading off.

+-----------------+-----------+-----------+-------------+----------+
At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%. So
they are not that interesting.

The fserver workload uses mutex spinning extensively. With just
the mutex change in the first patch, there is no noticeable change
in performance.  Rather, there is a slight drop in performance. This
mutex spinning patch more than recovers the lost performance and show
a significant increase of +30% at high user load with the full 8 nodes.
Similar improvements were also seen in a 3.8 kernel.

The table below shows the %time spent by different kernel functions
as reported by perf when running the fserver workload at 1500 users
with all 8 nodes.

+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
|        Function       |  % time   | % time  |   % time    |
|                       | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 |

| __write_lock_failed   |  10.14%   | 10.68%  |    7.51%    |

| _raw_spin_lock        |   2.25%   |  2.50%  |    1.10%    |
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
The fserver workload for an 8-node system is dominated by the
contention in the read/write lock. Mutex contention also plays a
role. With the first patch only, mutex contention is down (as shown by
the __mutex_lock_slowpath figure) which help a little bit. We saw only
a few percents improvement with that.

By applying patch 2 as well, the single mutex_spin_on_owner figure is
now split out into an additional mspin_lock figure. The time increases
from 3.42% to 11.23%. It shows a great reduction in contention among
the spinners leading to a 30% improvement. The time ratio 9.9/2.33=4.3
indicates that there are on average 4+ spinners waiting in the spin_lock
loop for each spinner in the mutex_spin_on_owner loop. Contention in
other locking functions also go down by quite a lot.

The table below shows the performance change of both patches 1 & 2 over
patch 1 alone in other AIM7 workloads (at 8 nodes, hyperthreading off).

mutex: back out architecture specific check for negative mutex count

Date	Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:37:59 -0400

If it is confirmed that all the supported architectures can allow a
negative mutex count without incorrect behavior, we can then back
out the architecture specific change and allow the mutex count to
go to any negative number. That should further reduce contention for
non-x86 architecture.

If this is not the case, this patch should be dropped.

aio: convert the ioctx list to radix tree

Date	Wed, 3 Apr 2013 16:20:48 +0300

When using a large number of threads performing AIO operations the
IOCTX list may get a significant number of entries which will cause
significant overhead. For example, when running this fio script:

rw=randrw; size=256k ;directory=/mnt/fio; ioengine=libaio; iodepth=1
blocksize=1024; numjobs=512; thread; loops=100

on an EXT2 filesystem mounted on top of a ramdisk we can observe up to
30% CPU time spent by lookup_ioctx:

 32.51%  [guest.kernel]  [g] lookup_ioctx
  9.19%  [guest.kernel]  [g] __lock_acquire.isra.28
  4.40%  [guest.kernel]  [g] lock_release
  4.19%  [guest.kernel]  [g] sched_clock_local
  3.86%  [guest.kernel]  [g] local_clock
  3.68%  [guest.kernel]  [g] native_sched_clock
  3.08%  [guest.kernel]  [g] sched_clock_cpu
  2.64%  [guest.kernel]  [g] lock_release_holdtime.part.11
  2.60%  [guest.kernel]  [g] memcpy
  2.33%  [guest.kernel]  [g] lock_acquired
  2.25%  [guest.kernel]  [g] lock_acquire
  1.84%  [guest.kernel]  [g] do_io_submit

This patchs converts the ioctx list to a radix tree. For a performance
comparison the above FIO script was run on a 2 sockets 8 core
machine. This are the results for the original list based
implementation and for the radix tree based implementation:

cores         1         2         4         8         16        32

To consider the impact of the patch on the typical case of having
only one ctx per process the following FIO script was run:

rw=randrw; size=100m ;directory=/mnt/fio; ioengine=libaio; iodepth=1
blocksize=1024; numjobs=1; thread; loops=100

sched: Optimize build_sched_domains() for saving first SD node for a cpu

Date	Tue, 4 Jun 2013 16:50:18 +0530

We are saving first scheduling domain for a cpu in build_sched_domains() by
iterating over the nested sd->child list. We don't actually need to do it this
way.

*per_cpu_ptr(d.sd, i) is guaranteed to be NULL in the beginning as we have
called __visit_domain_allocation_hell() which does a memset to zero for struct
s_data.

So, save pointer to first SD while running the iteration loop over tl's.

sched: Optimize build_sched_domains() for saving first SD node for a cpu

We are saving first scheduling domain for a cpu in build_sched_domains() by
iterating over the nested sd->child list. We don't actually need to do it this
way.

tl will be equal to sched_domain_topology for the first iteration and so we can
set *per_cpu_ptr(d.sd, i) based on that.  So, save pointer to first SD while
running the iteration loop over tl's.

sched: Remove unused params of build_sched_domain()

Date	Tue, 4 Jun 2013 16:50:19 +0530

build_sched_domain() never uses parameter struct s_data *d and so passing it is
useless.

Remove it.

sched: Use cached value of span instead of calling sched_domain_span()

Date	Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:32:43 +0530

In the beginning of build_sched_groups() we called sched_domain_span() and
cached its return value in span. Few statements later we are calling it again to
get the same pointer.

Lets use the cached value instead as it hasn't changed in between.

sched: don't call get_group() for covered cpus

Date	Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:32:44 +0530

In build_sched_groups() we don't need to call get_group() for cpus which are
already covered in previous iterations. So, call get_group() after checking if
cpu is covered or not.

sched: remove WARN_ON(!sd) from init_sched_groups_power()

Date	Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:32:45 +0530

sd can't be NULL in init_sched_groups_power() and so checking it for NULL isn't
useful. In case it is required, then also we need to rearrange the code a bit as
we already accessed invalid pointer sd to get sg: sg = sd->groups.

sched: scale the busy and this queue's per-task load before compare

Date	Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:00:23 +0800

Since for max_load and this_load, they are the value that already be
scaled. It is not reasonble to get a minimum value between the scaled
and non-scaled value, like below example.
	min(sds->busiest_load_per_task, sds->max_load);

Also add comment over in what condition, there would be cpu power gain
in move the load.
