2008-05-05sched: add optional support for CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCKPeter Zijlstra
this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()). - architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK - the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick() - cpu_clock() might be implemented as: sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id()) if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

2008-05-05sched: fix cpu clockIngo Molnar
David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets prev_cpu_time. This caused __sync_cpu_clock() to be called all the time - against the intention of this code. The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock() is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal. While at it, also: - move the irq disabling to the outest layer, this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs enabled. - use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t is 32-bit.

2008-05-05sched: fair-group: fix a Div0 error of the fair group schedulerMiao Xie
When I echoed 0 into the "cpu.shares" file, a Div0 error occured. We found it is caused by the following calling. sched_group_set_shares(tg, shares) set_se_shares(tg->se[i], shares/nr_cpu_ids) __set_se_shares(se, shares) div64_64((1ULL<<32), shares) When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide the result, the Div0 error occured. It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think. Because in the function __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(), the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched entity. This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of shares.

2008-05-05sched: fix missing locking in sched_domains codeHeiko Carstens
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken. Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical sections that were protected by the old lock. So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

2008-04-25sched: fix share (re)distributionPeter Zijlstra
fix __aggregate_redistribute_shares() related lockup reported by David S. Miller. The problem this code tries to solve is 'accurately' calculating the 'fair' share of the group weight for each cpu. The current code falls back to a global group rebalance in case the sched_domain's span it looks at has no shares, but does have tasks. The reason it gets stuck here, is because its inherently racy - if someone steals the last task after we compute the agg->rq_weight, but before we rebalance, we'll never get out of the loop. We could of course go fix that, but while looking at this issue I found that this 'fallback' wasn't nearly as rare as I'd hoped it to be. In fact its quite common - and given it walks the whole machine, thats very bad. The new approach is simple (why didn't I think of it before?), we set the aggregate shares to the full task group weight, and each larger sched domain that encounters an aggregate shares larger than the weight, clips it (it already re-distributes anyway). This nicely converges to the desired global picture where the sum of all shares equals the task group weight.

2008-04-19sched: fair: weight calculationsPeter Zijlstra
In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit. A / \ B 1 / \ 2 3 To compute 1's load we do: weight(1) -------------- rq_weight(A) To compute 2's load we do: weight(2) weight(B) ------------ * ----------- rq_weight(B) rw_weight(A) This yields load fractions in comparable units. The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have: time_{i} vtime_{i} = ------------ weight_{i} vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight. But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-19sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group schedulingPeter Zijlstra
Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy. On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up. After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load. Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP paper. XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small enough, we'll run out of bits.

Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask argument. int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask) The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above but this does not result in an ABI change. And with some compiler optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead. Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the "const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed. This silences compiler warnings.
