topology: alternate fix for ia64 tiger_defconfig build breakage

2010-08-10T03:44:57+00:00

Define stubs for the numa_*_id() generic percpu related functions for
non-NUMA configurations in  where the other
non-numa stubs live.

Fixes ia64 !NUMA build breakage -- e.g., tiger_defconfig

Back out now unneeded '#ifndef CONFIG_NUMA' guards from ia64 smpboot.c

sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain

2010-06-09T08:34:55+00:00

Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman.

This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level.  Some cores
like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads.  In the case of
POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are
idle.  When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since
they share less core resources.  Hence when we have idle threads, we
want them to be the higher ones.

This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the
packing.  This packing function is run on idle threads.  It checks to
see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a
higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run
on.  If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier
thread as the busiest group to f_b_g().  Here we are assuming a lower
CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number.

It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at
any scheduler domain level.

It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling
level.  The default function doesn't enable this feature.

Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra.

numa: introduce numa_mem_id()- effective local memory node id

2010-05-27T16:12:57+00:00

Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure
to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless
nodes.

Define API in  when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
defined, else stubs.  Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
if/when they support them.

Archs can override definitions of:

numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node
set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem'
cpu_to_mem()  - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue

Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists().
This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of
numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist
rebuild.  Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize
'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line.

numa: add generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation

2010-05-27T16:12:57+00:00

Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new
generic percpu variable infrastructure.

Guard the new implementation with a new config option:

        CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID.

Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y'
when NUMA is configured.  This config option could be removed if/when all
archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id().
Arch support involves:

  1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use
     this implementation.  x86_64 is an instance of such an arch.
  2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will
     need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus
     are brought on-line.  ia64 is an example.
  3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g.,
     when NUMA is configured.  This is required because I have
     retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to
     be modified incrementally, as desired.

Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.

sched: Fix vmark regression on big machines

2010-01-21T12:39:03+00:00

SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set at the CPU domain level if power saving isn't
enabled, leading to many cache misses on large machines as we traverse
looking for an idle shared cache to wake to.  Change the enabler of
select_idle_sibling() to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, and enable same at the
sibling domain level.

sched: Disable SD_PREFER_LOCAL for MC/CPU domains

2009-10-14T13:02:34+00:00

Yanmin reported that both tbench and hackbench were significantly
hurt by trying to keep tasks local on these domains, esp on small
cache machines.

So disable it in order to promote spreading outside of the cache
domains.

sched: Disable wakeup balancing

2009-09-16T14:44:33+00:00

Sysbench thinks SD_BALANCE_WAKE is too agressive and kbuild doesn't
really mind too much, SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE picks up most of the
slack.

On a dual socket, quad core, dual thread nehalem system:

sysbench (--num_threads=16):

 SD_BALANCE_WAKE-: 13982 tx/s
 SD_BALANCE_WAKE+: 15688 tx/s

kbuild (-j16):

 SD_BALANCE_WAKE-: 47.648295846  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.312% )
 SD_BALANCE_WAKE+: 47.608607360  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.026% )

And turn it on for NUMA and MC domains. This improves
locality in balancing decisions by keeping up to
capacity amount of tasks local before looking for idle
CPUs. (and twice the capacity if SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE
is set.)
