[PATCH 0/4] sched/topology: Set SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag automatically

[PATCH 0/4] sched/topology: Set SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag automatically

[Morten Rasmussen]

The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag has been around for some time now with no code to
actually set it. Android has carried patches to do this out-of-tree in the
meantime. The flag is meant to indicate cpu capacity asymmetry and is set at
the topology level where the sched_domain spans all available cpu capacity in
the system, i.e. all core types are visible, for any cpu in the system.

The flag was merged as being a topology flag meaning that architecture had to
provide the flag explicitly, however when mixed with cpusets splitting the
system into multiple root_domains the flag can't be set without knowledge about
the cpusets. Rather than exposing cpusets to architecture code this patch set
moves the responsibility for setting the flag to generic topology code which is
simpler and make the code architecture agnostic.

[PATCH 1/4] sched/topology: SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag detection

[Morten Rasmussen]

The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY sched_domain flag is supposed to mark the
sched_domain in the hierarchy where all cpu capacities are visible for
any cpu's point of view on asymmetric cpu capacity systems. The
scheduler can then take to take capacity asymmetry into account when
balancing at this level. It also serves as an indicator for how wide
task placement heuristics have to search to consider all available cpu
capacities as asymmetric systems might often appear symmetric at
smallest level(s) of the sched_domain hierarchy.

The flag has been around for while but so far only been set by
out-of-tree code in Android kernels. One solution is to let each
architecture provide the flag through a custom sched_domain topology
array and associated mask and flag functions. However,
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is special in the sense that it depends on the
capacity and presence of all cpus in the system, i.e. when hotplugging
all cpus out except those with one particular cpu capacity the flag
should disappear even if the sched_domains don't collapse. Similarly,
the flag is affected by cpusets where load-balancing is turned off.
Detecting when the flags should be set therefore depends not only on
topology information but also the cpuset configuration and hotplug
state. The arch code doesn't have easy access to the cpuset
configuration.

Instead, this patch implements the flag detection in generic code where
cpusets and hotplug state is already taken care of. All the arch is
responsible for is to implement arch_scale_cpu_capacity() and force a
full rebuild of the sched_domain hierarchy if capacities are updated,
e.g. later in the boot process when cpufreq has initialized.

I think if you increment and then continue here you might save the extra 
branch. I didn't look at any disassembly though to verify the generated 
code.

I wonder if we can introduce for_each_sd_topology_from(tl, 
starting_level) so that you can start searching from a provided level - 
which will make this skipping logic unnecessary? So the code will look like

             for_each_sd_topology_from(tl, asymc_level) {
                 ...
             }

Or maybe this is not a hot path and we don't care that much about 
optimizing the search since you call it unconditionally here even for 
systems that don't care?

Both options would work. Increment+contrinue instead of goto would be
slightly less readable I think since we would still have the increment
at the end of the loop, but easy to do. Introducing
for_each_sd_topology_from() improve things too, but I wonder if it is
worth it.

It does increase the cost of things like hotplug slightly and
repartitioning of root_domains a slightly but I don't see how we can
avoid it if we want generic code to set this flag. If the costs are not
acceptable I think the only option is to make the detection architecture
specific.

In any case, AFAIK rebuilding the sched_domain hierarchy shouldn't be a
normal and common thing to do. If checking for the flag is not
acceptable on SMP-only architectures, I can move it under arch/arm[,64]
although it is not as clean.

I don't mind the current form to be honest. I agree it's not worth it if 
it is called infrequent enough.

I think hotplug is already expensive and this overhead would be small in 
comparison. But this could be called when frequency changes if I 
understood correctly - this is the one I wasn't sure how 'hot' it could 
be. I wouldn't expect frequency changes at a very high rate because it's 
relatively expensive too..

I like the approach and I think it's nice and clean. If it actually 
appears in some profiles I think we have room to optimize it.

A frequency change shouldn't lead to a flag change or a rebuild of the
sched_domain hierarhcy. The situations where the hierarchy should be
rebuild to update the flag is during boot as we only know the amount of
asymmetry once cpufreq has been initialized, when cpus are hotplugged
in/out, and when root_domains change due to cpuset reconfiguration. So
it should be a relatively rare event.

Ah OK I misunderstood that part then.

For future reference: *please* capitalize 'CPU' and 'CPUs' in future patches like the rest of

You can see it spelled right above the new definition: 'waking CPU' ;-)

(I fixed this up in this patch.)

sched/topology: Add SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag detection

The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY sched_domain flag is supposed to mark the
sched_domain in the hierarchy where all CPU capacities are visible for
any CPU's point of view on asymmetric CPU capacity systems. The
scheduler can then take to take capacity asymmetry into account when
balancing at this level. It also serves as an indicator for how wide
task placement heuristics have to search to consider all available CPU
capacities as asymmetric systems might often appear symmetric at
smallest level(s) of the sched_domain hierarchy.

The flag has been around for while but so far only been set by
out-of-tree code in Android kernels. One solution is to let each
architecture provide the flag through a custom sched_domain topology
array and associated mask and flag functions. However,
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is special in the sense that it depends on the
capacity and presence of all CPUs in the system, i.e. when hotplugging
all CPUs out except those with one particular CPU capacity the flag
should disappear even if the sched_domains don't collapse. Similarly,
the flag is affected by cpusets where load-balancing is turned off.
Detecting when the flags should be set therefore depends not only on
topology information but also the cpuset configuration and hotplug
state. The arch code doesn't have easy access to the cpuset
configuration.

Instead, this patch implements the flag detection in generic code where
cpusets and hotplug state is already taken care of. All the arch is
responsible for is to implement arch_scale_cpu_capacity() and force a
full rebuild of the sched_domain hierarchy if capacities are updated,
e.g. later in the boot process when cpufreq has initialized.

[PATCH 2/4] drivers/base/arch_topology: Rebuild sched_domain hierarchy when capacities change

[Morten Rasmussen]

The setting of SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY depends on the per-cpu capacities.
These might not have their final values when the hierarchy is initially
built as the values depend on cpufreq to be initialized or the values
being set through sysfs. To ensure that the flags are set correctly we
need to rebuild the sched_domain hierarchy whenever the reported per-cpu
capacity (arch_scale_cpu_capacity()) changes.

This patch ensure that a full sched_domain rebuild happens when cpu
capacity changes occur.

[PATCH 3/4] arch/arm64: Rebuild sched_domain hierarchy when cpu capacity changes

[Morten Rasmussen]

Asymmetric cpu capacity can not necessarily be determined accurately at
the time the initial sched_domain hierarchy is built during boot. It is
therefore necessary to be able to force a full rebuild of the hierarchy
later triggered by the arch_topology driver. A full rebuild requires the
arch-code to implement arch_update_cpu_topology() which isn't yet
implemented for arm64. This patch points the arm64 implementation to
arch_topology driver to ensure that full hierarchy rebuild happens when
needed.

sched/topology, arch/arm64: Rebuild the sched_domain hierarchy when the CPU capacity changes

Asymmetric CPU capacity can not necessarily be determined accurately at
the time the initial sched_domain hierarchy is built during boot. It is
therefore necessary to be able to force a full rebuild of the hierarchy
later triggered by the arch_topology driver. A full rebuild requires the
arch-code to implement arch_update_cpu_topology() which isn't yet
implemented for arm64. This patch points the arm64 implementation to
arch_topology driver to ensure that full hierarchy rebuild happens when
needed.
