sched: group scheduling, change how cpu load is calculated
commit 6b2d770026
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
sched: group scheduler, fix fairness of cpu bandwidth allocation for task groups
Namely:
- very frequent wakeups on SMP, reported by PowerTop users.
- cacheline trashing on (large) SMP
- some latencies larger than 500ms
While there is a mergeable patch to fix the latter, the former issues
are not fixable in a manner suitable for .25 (we're at -rc3 now).
Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.

slab: avoid double initialization & do initialization in 1 place
1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we
should do this only when the whole process exits.
2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.
Use ->group_leader instead.
Test case:
void hup(int sig)
{
printf("HUP received\n");
}
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(2);
printf("sub-thread exited\n");
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (!fork()) {
signal(SIGHUP, hup);
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
exit(0);
}
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
sleep(1);
printf("main thread exited\n");
syscall(__NR_exit, 0);
return 0;
}
output:
main thread exited
HUP received

p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.
Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.
However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.
As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.
Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.
Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size
(which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit
based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional
limit. See commit b6a2fea393 ("mm:
variable length argument support") for details.
However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots
of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up
to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings
could actually be smaller than the old limit.
So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the
value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that
traditional limit.
(Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole
stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always
been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to
cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on
a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then
a gap to the next 4K page boundary.
It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately,
saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to
check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory.

We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but
we also use it to set the NPPT value in the segment table entry. That is
defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate
it as such regardless of the IOMMU page size.

Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a
contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger
amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being
too large.
So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to
have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert
the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset.
This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit
of every DMA address.
However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero
address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset
at all.
As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it
takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use
it instead!
