This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking care of the jiffies and GTOD progression. Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged. This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their tick for any reason. But let's start with that very simple approach first.

For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs on a CPU is a desired feature: * Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its real job, from an execution time and from the cache point of views. * This also improve latency response as we have less critical sections. Start with introducing a very simple interface to define full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that are part of this range will have their tick shutdown whenever possible: provided they run a single task and they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic tick. These details will be later documented in Documentation/* An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the timekeeping. Suggested-by: Paul E.

Thomas noted that we do the wakeup preemption check after the wakeup trace point, this means the tracepoint cannot test/report this decision; which is rather important for latency sensitive workloads.

Merge branch 'sched/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into sched/core Pull CPU runtime stats/accounting fixes from Frederic Weisbecker: " Some users are complaining that their threadgroup's runtime accounting freezes after a week or so of intense cpu-bound workload. This set tries to fix the issue by reducing the risk of multiplication overflow in the cputime scaling code. " Stanislaw Gruszka further explained the historic context and impact of the bug: " Commit 0cf55e1e start to use scalling for whole thread group, so increase chances of hitting multiplication overflow, depending on how many CPUs are on the system. We have multiplication utime * rtime for one thread since commit b27f03d4. Overflow will happen after: rtime * utime > 0xffffffffffffffff jiffies if thread utilize 100% of CPU time, that gives: rtime > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) jiffies ritme > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) / (24 * 60 * 60 * HZ) days For HZ 100 it will be 497 days for HZ 1000 it will be 49 days. Bug affect only users, who run CPU intensive application for that long period. Also they have to be interested on utime,stime values, as bug has no other visible effect as making those values incorrect. " Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Some users have reported that after running a process with hundreds of threads on intensive CPU-bound loads, the cputime of the group started to freeze after a few days. This is due to how we scale the tick-based cputime against the scheduler precise execution time value. We add the values of all threads in the group and we multiply that against the sum of the scheduler exec runtime of the whole group. This easily overflows after a few days/weeks of execution. A proposed solution to solve this was to compute that multiplication on stime instead of utime: 62188451 ("cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling") The rationale behind that was that it's easy for a thread to spend most of its time in userspace under intensive CPU-bound workload but it's much harder to do CPU-bound intensive long run in the kernel. This postulate got defeated when a user recently reported he was still seeing cputime freezes after the above patch. The workload that triggers this issue relates to intensive networking workloads where most of the cputime is consumed in the kernel. To reduce much more the opportunities for multiplication overflow, lets reduce the multiplication factors to the remainders of the division between sched exec runtime and cputime. Assuming the difference between these shouldn't ever be that large, it could work on many situations. This gets the same results as in the upstream scaling code except for a small difference: the upstream code always rounds the results to the nearest integer not greater to what would be the precise result. The new code rounds to the nearest integer either greater or not greater. In practice this difference probably shouldn't matter but it's worth mentioning. If this solution appears not to be enough in the end, we'll need to partly revert back to the behaviour prior to commit 0cf55e1e ("sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()") Back then, the scaling was done on exit() time before adding the cputime of an exiting thread to the signal struct. And then we'll need to scale one-by-one the live threads cputime in thread_group_cputime(). The drawback may be a slightly slower code on exit time.

Until we provide the nohz_mask boot parameter, keeping the context tracking probes disabled by default is pointless since what we want is to runtime test this code anyway. It's furthermore confusing for the users which don't expect the probes to be off when they select RCU user mode or full dynticks cputime accounting. Let's enable these probes selftests by default for now.

The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based solution. This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING, now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic off-case as well.

From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task. But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted code on preempt_schedule_irq() return. As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with the wrong context tracking state. Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this kind of issue.

On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode. However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace. If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs). As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking state. To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame. (May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so, sorry for the missing credit).
