[PATCH 2/3] smp: Adding new function wake_up_all_idle_cpus()

[Chuansheng Liu]

Currently kick_all_cpus_sync() can break non-polling idle cpus
thru IPI interrupts.

But sometimes we need to break the polling idle cpus immediately
to reselect the suitable c-state, also for non-idle cpus, we need
to do nothing if we try to wake up them.

Here adding one new function wake_up_all_idle_cpus() to let all cpus
out of idle based on function wake_up_if_idle().

So IIUC, kick_all_cpus_sync is a broken function, right ?

Wouldn't make sense to replace all calls to kick_all_cpus by 
wake_up_all_idle_cpus ? and remove this broken function ?

My initial patch(V1) indeed do it, but Andy pointed out some callers of kick_all_cpus_sync()
really want the old behavior.

My fault again that do not have the detailed changelog for the patches.

Pasted the comments from Andy:

kick_all_cpus_sync has other callers, and those other callers want the
old behavior.  I think this should be a new function.

Correct, things like arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable_64.c:pmdp_clear_flush()
really want the old behaviour. It basically uses
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() vs kick_all_cpus_sync() as a RCU
like serialization primitive.

Is this patchset tested ? Did you check it solves the issue you were 
facing ?

We have done the basic test, and found the cores can exit C0 quickly with this patchset.
Basically once the _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then the poll_idle() can be broken.

Please correct me if something is wrong, thanks.

FWIW, adding:

if (rq->curr != rq->idle)
    return;

Right here could improve performance on large, mostly non-idle
systems.  It would skip the spinlock in most cases.

I don't know whether this code is relevant on systems like that, though.

 raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&rq->lock, flags);

That needs to be is_idle_task(), there might be other 'idle' tasks than
rq->idle :/

[PATCH 1/3] sched: Add new API wake_up_if_idle() to wake up the idle cpu

Implementing one new API wake_up_if_idle(), which is used to
wake up the idle CPU.
