kthread: remove comments about old _do_fork() helper

2021-01-11T14:11:56Z

The old _do_fork() helper has been removed in favor of kernel_clone(). Here correct some comments which still contain _do_fork() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210111104807.18022-1-yanfei.xu@windriver.com Cc: christian@brauner.io Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Christian Brauner Signed-off-by: Yanfei Xu Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

kthread: add kthread_work tracepoints

2020-12-15T20:13:36Z

While migrating some code from wq to kthread_worker, I found that I missed the execute_start/end tracepoints. So add similar tracepoints for kthread_work. And for completeness, queue_work tracepoint (although this one differs slightly from the matching workqueue tracepoint).

sched/debug: Add new tracepoint to track cpu_capacity

2020-10-03T14:30:52Z

rq->cpu_capacity is a key element in several scheduler parts, such as EAS task placement and load balancing. Tracking this value enables testing and/or debugging by a toolkit.

sched: Add a tracepoint to track rq->nr_running

2020-07-08T09:39:02Z

Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks ->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at: https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be found at: https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in the header a wrapper call is used and the trace/events/sched.h include is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.

sched/debug: Add new tracepoints to track util_est

The util_est signals are key elements for EAS task placement and frequency selection. Having tracepoints to track these signals enables load-tracking and schedutil testing and/or debugging by a toolkit.

sched/pelt: Add support to track thermal pressure

2020-03-06T11:57:17Z

Extrapolating on the existing framework to track rt/dl utilization using pelt signals, add a similar mechanism to track thermal pressure. The difference here from rt/dl utilization tracking is that, instead of tracking time spent by a CPU running a RT/DL task through util_avg, the average thermal pressure is tracked through load_avg. This is because thermal pressure signal is weighted time "delta" capacity unlike util_avg which is binary. "delta capacity" here means delta between the actual capacity of a CPU and the decreased capacity a CPU due to a thermal event. In order to track average thermal pressure, a new sched_avg variable avg_thermal is introduced. Function update_thermal_load_avg can be called to do the periodic bookkeeping (accumulate, decay and average) of the thermal pressure.

sched/numa: Distinguish between the different task_numa_migrate() failure cases

2020-02-24T10:36:33Z

sched:sched_stick_numa is meant to fire when a task is unable to migrate to the preferred node but from the trace, it's possibile to tell the difference between "no CPU found", "migration to idle CPU failed" and "tasks could not be swapped". Extend the tracepoint accordingly.

sched/debug: Add sched_overutilized tracepoint

2019-06-24T17:23:42Z

The new tracepoint allows us to track the changes in overutilized status. Overutilized status is associated with EAS. It indicates that the system is in high performance state. EAS is disabled when the system is in this state since there's not much energy savings while high performance tasks are pushing the system to the limit and it's better to default to the spreading behavior of the scheduler. This tracepoint helps understanding and debugging the conditions under which this happens.
