If an idle sibling of an HT queue encounters a busy sibling, then make
higher level load balancing of the non-idle variety.
Performance of multiprocessor HT systems with low numbers of tasks
(generally < number of virtual CPUs) can be significantly worse than the
exact same workloads when running in non-HT mode. The reason is largely
due to poor scheduling behaviour.
This patch improves the situation, making the performance gap far less
significant on one problematic test case (tbench).

During periodic load balancing, don't hold this runqueue's lock while
scanning remote runqueues, which can take a non trivial amount of time
especially on very large systems.
Holding the runqueue lock will only help to stabilise ->nr_running, however
this doesn't do much to help because tasks being woken will simply get held
up on the runqueue lock, so ->nr_running would not provide a really
accurate picture of runqueue load in that case anyway.
What's more, ->nr_running (and possibly the cpu_load averages) of remote
runqueues won't be stable anyway, so load balancing is always an inexact
operation.

<...>-2778 1Dnh1 415us : trace_stop_sched_switched (__schedule)
the reason for this anomaly is the following code in dependent_sleeper():
/*
* If a user task with lower static priority than the
* running task on the SMT sibling is trying to schedule,
* delay it till there is proportionately less timeslice
* left of the sibling task to prevent a lower priority
* task from using an unfair proportion of the
* physical cpu's resources. -ck
*/
[...]
if (((smt_curr->time_slice * (100 - sd->per_cpu_gain) /
100) > task_timeslice(p)))
ret = 1;
Note that in contrast to the comment above, we dont actually do the check
based on static priority, we do the check based on timeslices. But
timeslices go up and down, and even highprio tasks can randomly have very
low timeslices (just before their next refill) and can thus be judged as
'lowprio' by the above piece of code. This condition is clearly buggy.
The correct test is to check for static_prio _and_ to check for the
preemption priority. Even on different static priority levels, a
higher-prio interactive task should not be delayed due to a
higher-static-prio CPU hog.
There is a symmetric bug in the 'kick SMT sibling' code of this function as
well, which can be solved in a similar way.
The patch below (against the current scheduler queue in -mm) fixes both
bugs. I have build and boot-tested this on x86 SMT, and nice +20 tasks
still get properly throttled - so the dependent-sleeper logic is still in
action.
btw., these bugs pessimised the SMT scheduler because the 'delay wakeup'
property was applied too liberally, so this fix is likely a throughput
improvement as well.
I separated out a smt_slice() function to make the code easier to read.

This patch implements a task state bit (TASK_NONINTERACTIVE), which can be
used by blocking points to mark the task's wait as "non-interactive". This
does not mean the task will be considered a CPU-hog - the wait will simply
not have an effect on the waiting task's priority - positive or negative
alike. Right now only pipe_wait() will make use of it, because it's a
common source of not-so-interactive waits (kernel compilation jobs, etc.).

The hyperthread aware nice handling currently puts to sleep any non real
time task when a real time task is running on its sibling cpu. This can
lead to prolonged starvation by having the non real time task pegged to the
cpu with load balancing not pulling that task away.
Currently we force lower priority hyperthread tasks to run a percentage of
time difference based on timeslice differences which is meaningless when
comparing real time tasks to SCHED_NORMAL tasks. We can allow non real
time tasks to run with real time tasks on the sibling up to per_cpu_gain%
if we use jiffies as a counter.
Cleanups and micro-optimisations to the relevant code section should make
it more understandable as well.

The cpusets-formalize-intermediate-gfp_kernel-containment patch
has a deadlock problem.
This patch was part of a set of four patches to make more
extensive use of the cpuset 'mem_exclusive' attribute to
manage kernel GFP_KERNEL memory allocations and to constrain
the out-of-memory (oom) killer.
A task that is changing cpusets in particular ways on a system
when it is very short of free memory could double trip over
the global cpuset_sem semaphore (get the lock and then deadlock
trying to get it again).
The second attempt to get cpuset_sem would be in the routine
cpuset_zone_allowed(). This was discovered by code inspection.
I can not reproduce the problem except with an artifically
hacked kernel and a specialized stress test.
In real life you cannot hit this unless you are manipulating
cpusets, and are very unlikely to hit it unless you are rapidly
modifying cpusets on a memory tight system. Even then it would
be a rare occurence.
If you did hit it, the task double tripping over cpuset_sem
would deadlock in the kernel, and any other task also trying
to manipulate cpusets would deadlock there too, on cpuset_sem.
Your batch manager would be wedged solid (if it was cpuset
savvy), but classic Unix shells and utilities would work well
enough to reboot the system.
The unusual condition that led to this bug is that unlike most
semaphores, cpuset_sem _can_ be acquired while in the page
allocation code, when __alloc_pages() calls cpuset_zone_allowed.
So it easy to mistakenly perform the following sequence:
1) task makes system call to alter a cpuset
2) take cpuset_sem
3) try to allocate memory
4) memory allocator, via cpuset_zone_allowed, trys to take cpuset_sem
5) deadlock
The reason that this is not a serious bug for most users
is that almost all calls to allocate memory don't require
taking cpuset_sem. Only some code paths off the beaten
track require taking cpuset_sem -- which is good. Taking
a global semaphore on the main code path for allocating
memory would not scale well.
This patch fixes this deadlock by wrapping the up() and down()
calls on cpuset_sem in kernel/cpuset.c with code that tracks
the nesting depth of the current task on that semaphore, and
only does the real down() if the task doesn't hold the lock
already, and only does the real up() if the nesting depth
(number of unmatched downs) is exactly one.
The previous required use of refresh_mems(), anytime that
the cpuset_sem semaphore was acquired and the code executed
while holding that semaphore might try to allocate memory, is
no longer required. Two refresh_mems() calls were removed
thanks to this. This is a good change, as failing to get
all the necessary refresh_mems() calls placed was a primary
source of bugs in this cpuset code. The only remaining call
to refresh_mems() is made while doing a memory allocation,
if certain task memory placement data needs to be updated
from its cpuset, due to the cpuset having been changed behind
the tasks back.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:
- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.
The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:
include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16
I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h
/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
* builds the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.

Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.
If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).
