From 1b04722c3b892033f143d056a2876f293a1adbcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dietmar Eggemann Date: Tue, 8 May 2018 08:33:40 +0100 Subject: Revert "cpufreq: schedutil: Don't restrict kthread to related_cpus unnecessarily" This reverts commit e2cabe48c20efb174ce0c01190f8b9c5f3ea1d13. Lifting the restriction that the sugov kthread is bound to the policy->related_cpus for a system with a slow switching cpufreq driver, which is able to perform DVFS from any cpu (e.g. cpufreq-dt), is not only not beneficial it also harms Enery-Aware Scheduling (EAS) on systems with asymmetric cpu capacities (e.g. Arm big.LITTLE). The sugov kthread which does the update for the little cpus could potentially run on a big cpu. It could prevent that the big cluster goes into deeper idle states although all the tasks are running on the little cluster. Example: hikey960 w/ 4.16.0-rc6-+ Arm big.LITTLE with per-cluster DVFS root@h960:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^CPU part" CPU part : 0xd03 (Cortex-A53, little cpu) CPU part : 0xd03 CPU part : 0xd03 CPU part : 0xd03 CPU part : 0xd09 (Cortex-A73, big cpu) CPU part : 0xd09 CPU part : 0xd09 CPU part : 0xd09 root@h960:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# ls policy0 policy4 schedutil root@h960:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# cat policy*/related_cpus 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (1) w/o the revert: root@h960:~# ps -eo pid,class,rtprio,pri,psr,comm | awk 'NR == 1 || /sugov/' PID CLS RTPRIO PRI PSR COMMAND 1489 #6 0 140 1 sugov:0 1490 #6 0 140 0 sugov:4 The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu0. (In this case both sugov kthreads run on little cpus). cross policy (cluster) remote callback example: ... migration/1-14 [001] enqueue_task_fair: this_cpu=1 cpu_of(rq)=5 migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=5 sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7 sugov:4-1490 [000] sugov_work: this_cpu=0 sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7 ... The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=5) is executed on cpu=0. (2) w/ the revert: root@h960:~# ps -eo pid,class,rtprio,pri,psr,comm | awk 'NR == 1 || /sugov/' PID CLS RTPRIO PRI PSR COMMAND 1491 #6 0 140 2 sugov:0 1492 #6 0 140 4 sugov:4 The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu4. cross policy (cluster) remote callback example: ... migration/1-14 [001] enqueue_task_fair: this_cpu=1 cpu_of(rq)=7 migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=7 sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7 sugov:4-1492 [004] sugov_work: this_cpu=4 sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7 ... The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=7) is executed on cpu=4. Now the sugov kthread executes again on the policy (cluster) for which the Operating Performance Point (OPP) should be changed. It avoids the problem that an otherwise idle policy (cluster) is running schedutil (the sugov kthread) for another one. Signed-off-by: Dietmar Eggemann Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

In return, get_next_freq() doesn't return a cached next_freq value but recalculates the next frequency instead. But having special meaning for a particular value of frequency makes the code less readable and error prone. We recently fixed a bug where the UINT_MAX value was considered as valid frequency in sugov_update_single(). All we need is a flag which can be used to discard the value of sg_policy->next_freq and we already have need_freq_update for that. Lets reuse it instead of setting next_freq to UINT_MAX.

This approach is supposed to "ignore" boosting for sporadic wakeups from IO, while still getting the frequency boosted to the maximum to benefit long sequence of wakeup from IO operations. However, these assumptions are not always satisfied. For example, when an IO boosted CPU enters idle for more the one tick and then wakes up after an IO wait, since in sugov_set_iowait_boost() we first check the IOWAIT flag, we keep doubling the iowait boost instead of restarting from the minimum frequency value. This misbehavior could happen mainly on non-shared frequency domains, thus defeating the energy efficiency optimization, but it can also happen on shared frequency domain systems. Let fix this issue in sugov_set_iowait_boost() by: - first check the IO wait boost reset conditions to eventually reset the boost value - then applying the correct IO boost value if required by the caller Fixes: a5a0809bc58e (cpufreq: schedutil: Make iowait boost more energy efficient) Reported-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Patrick Bellasi Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The current code is now however a bit convoluted. Some functionalities (e.g. iowait boost reset) are replicated in different paths and their documentation is slightly misaligned. Let's cleanup the code by consolidating all the IO wait boosting related functionality within within few dedicated functions and better define their role: - sugov_iowait_boost: set/increase the IO wait boost of a CPU - sugov_iowait_apply: apply/reduce the IO wait boost of a CPU Both these two function are used at every sugov update and they make use of a unified IO wait boost reset policy provided by: - sugov_iowait_reset: reset/disable the IO wait boost of a CPU if a CPU is not updated for more then one tick This makes possible a cleaner and more self-contained design for the IO wait boosting code since the rest of the sugov update routines, both for single and shared frequency domains, follow the same template: /* Configure IO boost, if required */ sugov_iowait_boost() /* Return here if freq change is in progress or throttled */ /* Collect and aggregate utilization information */ sugov_get_util() sugov_aggregate_util() /* * Add IO boost, if currently enabled, on top of the aggregated * utilization value */ sugov_iowait_apply() As a extra bonus, let's also add the documentation for the new functions and better align the in-code documentation.

This pending request can be delayed if there is a scheduling delay of the irq_work and the wake up of the schedutil governor kthread. A very bad scenario is when a schedutil request was already just made, such as to reduce the CPU frequency, then a newer request to increase CPU frequency (even sched deadline urgent frequency increase requests) can be dropped, even though the rate limits suggest that its Ok to process a request. This is because of the way the work_in_progress flag is used. This patch improves the situation by allowing new requests to happen even though the old one is still being processed. Note that in this approach, if an irq_work was already issued, we just update next_freq and don't bother to queue another request so there's no extra work being done to make this happen.

Wysocki" Date: Wed, 23 May 2018 11:47:45 +0200 Subject: cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid missing updates for one-CPU policies Commit 152db033d775 (schedutil: Allow cpufreq requests to be made even when kthread kicked) made changes to prevent utilization updates from being discarded during processing a previous request, but it left a small window in which that still can happen in the one-CPU policy case. Namely, updates coming in after setting work_in_progress in sugov_update_commit() and clearing it in sugov_work() will still be dropped due to the work_in_progress check in sugov_update_single(). To close that window, rearrange the code so as to acquire the update lock around the deferred update branch in sugov_update_single() and drop the work_in_progress check from it.
