2016-08-18sched/cputime: Improve scalability by not accounting thread group tasks ↵Stanislaw Gruszka
pending runtime Commit: d670ec13178d0 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles") started accounting thread group tasks pending runtime in thread_group_cputime(). Another commit: 6e998916dfe32 ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency") updated scheduler runtime statistics (call update_curr()) when reading task pending runtime. Those changes cause bad performance of SYS_times() and SYS_clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) syscalls, especially on larger systems with many CPUs. While we would like to have cpuclock monotonicity kept i.e. have problems fixed by above commits stay fixed, we also would like to have good performance. However when we notice that change from commit d670ec13178d0 is not longer needed to solve problem addressed by that commit, because of change from the second commit 6e998916dfe32, we can get room for optimization. Since we update task while reading it's pending runtime in task_sched_runtime(), clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) will see updated values and on testcase from d670ec13178d0 process cpuclock will not be smaller than thread cpuclock. I tested the patch on testcases from commits d670ec13178d0, 6e998916dfe32 and some other cpuclock/cputimers testcases and did not found cpuclock monotonicity problems or other malfunction. This patch has the drawback that we will not provide thread group cputime up-to-date to the last moment. For example when arming cputime timer, we will arm it with possibly a bit outdated values and that timer will trigger earlier compared to behaviour without the patch. However that was the behaviour before d670ec13178d0 commit (kernel v3.1) so it's unlikely to affect applications. Patch improves related syscall performance, as measured by Giovanni's benchmarks described in commit: 6075620b0590e ("sched/cputime: Mitigate performance regression in times()/clock_gettime()") The benchmark results are: SYS_clock_gettime(): threads 4.7-rc7 3.18-rc3 4.7-rc7 + prefetch 4.7-rc7 + patch (pre-6e998916dfe3) 2 3.48 2.23 ( 35.68%) 3.06 ( 11.83%) 1.08 ( 68.81%) 5 3.33 2.83 ( 14.84%) 3.25 ( 2.40%) 0.71 ( 78.55%) 8 3.37 2.84 ( 15.80%) 3.26 ( 3.30%) 0.56 ( 83.49%) 12 3.32 3.09 ( 6.69%) 3.37 ( -1.60%) 0.42 ( 87.28%) 21 4.01 3.14 ( 21.70%) 3.90 ( 2.74%) 0.35 ( 91.35%) 30 3.63 3.28 ( 9.75%) 3.36 ( 7.41%) 0.28 ( 92.23%) 48 3.71 3.02 ( 18.69%) 3.11 ( 16.27%) 0.39 ( 89.39%) 79 3.75 2.88 ( 23.23%) 3.16 ( 15.74%) 0.46 ( 87.76%) 110 3.81 2.95 ( 22.62%) 3.25 ( 14.80%) 0.56 ( 85.41%) 128 3.88 3.05 ( 21.28%) 3.31 ( 14.76%) 0.62 ( 84.10%) SYS_times(): threads 4.7-rc7 3.18-rc3 4.7-rc7 + prefetch 4.7-rc7 + patch (pre-6e998916dfe3) 2 3.65 2.27 ( 37.94%) 3.25 ( 11.03%) 1.62 ( 55.71%) 5 3.45 2.78 ( 19.34%) 3.17 ( 7.92%) 2.33 ( 32.28%) 8 3.52 2.79 ( 20.66%) 3.22 ( 8.69%) 2.06 ( 41.44%) 12 3.29 3.02 ( 8.33%) 3.36 ( -2.04%) 2.00 ( 39.18%) 21 4.07 3.10 ( 23.86%) 3.92 ( 3.78%) 2.07 ( 49.18%) 30 3.87 3.33 ( 13.80%) 3.40 ( 12.17%) 1.89 ( 51.12%) 48 3.79 2.96 ( 21.94%) 3.16 ( 16.61%) 1.69 ( 55.46%) 79 3.88 2.88 ( 25.82%) 3.28 ( 15.42%) 1.60 ( 58.81%) 110 3.90 2.98 ( 23.73%) 3.38 ( 13.35%) 1.73 ( 55.61%) 128 4.00 3.10 ( 22.40%) 3.38 ( 15.45%) 1.66 ( 58.52%) Reported-and-tested-by: Giovanni Gherdovich <ggherdovich@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Mike Galbraith <mgalbraith@suse.de> Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160817093043.GA25206@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2016-08-18sched/cputime: Resync steal time when guest & host lose syncWanpeng Li
Commit: 57430218317e ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time") ... fixed a bug but also triggered a regression: On an i5 laptop, 4 pCPUs, 4vCPUs for one full dynticks guest, there are four CPU hog processes(for loop) running in the guest, I hot-unplug the pCPUs on host one by one until there is only one left, then observe CPU utilization via 'top' in the guest, it shows: 100% st for cpu0(housekeeping) 75% st for other CPUs (nohz full mode) However, w/o this commit it shows the correct 75% for all four CPUs. When a guest is interrupted for a longer amount of time, missed clock ticks are not redelivered later. Because of that, we should not limit the amount of steal time accounted to the amount of time that the calling functions think have passed. However, the interval returned by account_other_time() is NOT rounded down to the nearest jiffy, while the base interval in get_vtime_delta() it is subtracted from is, so the max cputime limit is required to avoid underflow. This patch fixes the regression by limiting the account_other_time() from get_vtime_delta() to avoid underflow, and lets the other three call sites (in account_other_time() and steal_account_process_time()) account however much steal time the host told us elapsed.

2016-07-14sched/cputime: Replace VTIME_GEN irq time code with IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING codeRik van Riel
The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not appear to currently work right. On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU. On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.

2016-07-14sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq timeRik van Riel
Currently, if there was any irq or softirq time during 'ticks' jiffies, the entire period will be accounted as irq or softirq time. This is inaccurate if only a subset of the time was actually spent handling irqs, and could conceivably mis-count all of the ticks during a period as irq time, when there was some irq and some softirq time. This can actually happen when irqtime_account_process_tick is called from account_idle_ticks, which can pass a larger number of ticks down all at once. Fix this by changing irqtime_account_hi_update(), irqtime_account_si_update(), and steal_account_process_ticks() to work with cputime_t time units, and return the amount of time spent in each mode. Rename steal_account_process_ticks() to steal_account_process_time(), to reflect that time is now accounted in cputime_t, instead of ticks. Additionally, have irqtime_account_process_tick() take into account how much time was spent in each of steal, irq, and softirq time. The latter could help improve the accuracy of cputime accounting when returning from idle on a NO_HZ_IDLE CPU. Properly accounting how much time was spent in hardirq and softirq time will also allow the NO_HZ_FULL code to re-use these same functions for hardirq and softirq accounting.

2016-03-08sched/cputime: Fix steal_account_process_tick() to always return jiffiesChris Friesen
The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not. Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in units of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs depending on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. If cputime has nsecs granularity and there is a tiny amount of stolen time (a few nsecs, say) then we will consider the entire tick stolen and will not account the tick on user/system/idle, causing /proc/stats to show invalid data. The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to accumulate the stolen time and only account it once it's worth a jiffy.

2016-02-29sched, time: Switch VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularityRik van Riel
When profiling syscall overhead on nohz-full kernels, after removing __acct_update_integrals() from the profile, native_sched_clock() remains as the top CPU user. This can be reduced by moving VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity. This will reduce timing accuracy on nohz_full CPUs to jiffy based sampling, just like on normal CPUs. It results in totally removing native_sched_clock from the profile, and significantly speeding up the syscall entry and exit path, as well as irq entry and exit, and KVM guest entry & exit. Additionally, only call the more expensive functions (and advance the seqlock) when jiffies actually changed. This code relies on another CPU advancing jiffies when the system is busy.

Add include asm/paravirt.h to cputime.c, as steal_account_process_tick calls paravirt_steal_clock, which is defined in asm/paravirt.h. The ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT is necessary because not all archs have an asm/paravirt.h to include. The reason why currently cputime.c compiles, even though include <asm/paravirt.h> is missing, is that on x86 asm/paravirt.h is included by one of the other headers included in kernel/sched/cputime.c: On arm and arm64, where I am about to introduce asm/paravirt.h and stolen time support, without #include <asm/paravirt.h> in cputime.c, I would get an error.

2015-12-04sched/cputime: Correctly handle task guest time on housekeepersFrederic Weisbecker
When a task runs on a housekeeper (a CPU running with the periodic tick with neighbours running tickless), it doesn't account cputime using vtime but relies on the tick. Such a task has its vtime_snap_whence value set to VTIME_INACTIVE. Readers won't handle that correctly though. As long as vtime is running on some CPU, readers incorretly assume that vtime runs on all CPUs and always compute the tickless cputime delta, which is only junk on housekeepers. So lets fix this with checking that the target runs on a vtime CPU through the appropriate state check before computing the tickless delta.

2015-12-04sched/cputime: Fix invalid gtime in procHiroshi Shimamoto
/proc/stats shows invalid gtime when the thread is running in guest. When vtime accounting is not enabled, we cannot get a valid delta. The delta is calculated with now - tsk->vtime_snap, but tsk->vtime_snap is only updated when vtime accounting is runtime enabled. This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime without computing the buggy non-existing tickless delta when vtime accounting is not enabled. Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless delta. This way we fix the gtime value regression on machines not running nohz full. The kernel config contains CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y and CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=n and boot without nohz_full. I ran and stop a busy loop in VM and see the gtime in host.

The sig->stats_lock nests inside the tasklist_lock and the sighand->siglock in __exit_signal and wait_task_zombie. However, both of those locks can be taken from irq context, which means we need to use the interrupt safe variant of read_seqbegin_or_lock. This blocks interrupts when the "lock" branch is taken (seq is odd), preventing the lock inversion. On the first (lockless) pass through the loop, irqs are not blocked.

2014-09-08sched, time: Atomically increment stime & utimeRik van Riel
The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted() can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs. This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value. Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately overwritten with a smaller value by another thread. Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time progresses monotonically.

2014-09-08time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlockRik van Riel
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a lock. The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a value in nsecs. As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs. As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and same CPU. In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API. Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

2014-02-09sched: Implement task_nice() as static inline functionDongsheng Yang
As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more. This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function, saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

2013-09-04sched/cputime: Do not scale when utime == 0Stanislaw Gruszka
scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime results in negative value. User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME values on ps/top, for example: $ ps aux | grep rcu root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcuc/0] root 9 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcub/0] root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt] root 11 0.1 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:02 [rcuop/0] root 12 62422329 0.0 0 0 ?

2013-08-14vtime: Always debug check snapshot source _before_ updating itFrederic Weisbecker
The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check that the source of the snapshot is valid. Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless. This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.

2013-08-14vtime: Always scale generic vtime accounting resultsFrederic Weisbecker
The cputime accounting in full dynticks can be a subtle mixup of CPUs using tick based accounting and others using generic vtime. As long as the tick can have a share on producing these stats, we want to scale the result against CFS precise accounting as the tick can miss some task hiding between the periodic interrupt.

2013-08-14vtime: Fix racy cputime delta updateFrederic Weisbecker
get_vtime_delta() must be called under the task vtime_seqlock with the code that does the cputime accounting flush. Otherwise the cputime reader can be fooled and run into a race where it sees the snapshot update but misses the cputime flush. As a result it can report a cputime that is way too short.
