If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal. After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows, struct task_struct { ... struct sched_entity se; struct sched_rt_entity rt; struct sched_dl_entity dl; ... struct sched_statistics stats; ... }; Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by Peter - struct sched_entity_stats { struct sched_entity se; struct sched_statistics stats; } __no_randomize_layout; Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats. The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline aligned. As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values are in usecs/op. Before After kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4 kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5 [These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new different test machine.] Almost no impact on the sched performance. No functional change.
