sched/core: Move sched_entity::avg into separate cache line
The sched_entity::avg collides with read-mostly sched_entity data. The perf c2c tool showed many read HITM accesses across many CPUs for sched_entity's cfs_rq and my_q, while having at the same time tons of stores for avg. After placing sched_entity::avg into separate cache line, the perf bench sched pipe showed around 20 seconds speedup. NOTE I cut out all perf events except for cycles and instructions from following output. Before: $ perf stat -r 5 perf bench sched pipe -l 10000000 # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark: # Executed 10000000 pipe operations between two processes Total time: 270.348 [sec] 27.034805 usecs/op 36989 ops/sec ... 245,537,074,035 cycles # 1.433 GHz 187,264,548,519 instructions # 0.77 insns per cycle 272.653840535 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.31% ) After: $ perf stat -r 5 perf bench sched pipe -l 10000000 # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark: # Executed 10000000 pipe operations between two processes Total time: 251.076 [sec] 25.107678 usecs/op 39828 ops/sec ... 244,573,513,928 cycles # 1.572 GHz 187,409,641,157 instructions # 0.76 insns per cycle 251.679315188 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.31% ) Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Joe Mario <jmario@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1449606239-28602-1-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
