Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] implement vcpu preempted check
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 07:45:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1469101514-49475-1-git-send-email-xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

change from v2:
	no code change, fix typos, update some comments

change from v1:
	a simplier definition of default vcpu_is_preempted
	skip mahcine type check on ppc, and add config. remove dedicated macro.
	add one patch to drop overload of rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner. 
	add more comments
	thanks boqun and Peter's suggestion.

This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues.

test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report

before patch:
18.09%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] osq_lock
12.28%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
 5.27%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 3.89%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] wait_consider_task
 3.64%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
 3.41%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_spin_on_owner.is
 2.49%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call

after patch:
 9.99%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 5.28%  sched-messaging  [unknown]         [H] 0xc0000000000768e0
 4.27%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __copy_tofrom_user_power7
 3.77%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] copypage_power7
 3.24%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
 3.02%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call
 2.69%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] wait_consider_task

We introduce interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) and use it in some spin
loops of osq_lock, rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.
These spin_on_onwer variant also cause rcu stall before we apply this patch set

Pan Xinhui (4):
  kernel/sched: introduce vcpu preempted check interface
  powerpc/spinlock: support vcpu preempted check
  locking/osq: Drop the overhead of osq_lock()
  kernel/locking: Drop the overhead of {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner
