patch-2.6.11-rc5.bz2 23-Feb-2005 20:20 14
Hi all,
For the past couple weeks I have been reorganizing the PCI subsystem to
better utilize the driver model. Specifically, the bus detection code
is now using a standard PCI driver. It turns out to be a major
undertaking, as the PCI probing code is closely tied into a lot of other
PCI

Hi,
I hope that you can include the following set of CPU scheduler
patches in -mm soon, if you have no other significant performance
work going on.
There are some fairly significant changes, with a few basic aims:
* Improve SMT behaviour
* Improve CMP behaviour, CMP/NUMA scheduling (ie. Opteron)
1/13
Some fixes for unsynchronised TSCs. A task's timestamp may have been set
by another CPU. Although we try to adjust this correctly with the
timestamp_last_tick field, there is no guarantee this will be exactly right.

John Hawkes explained the problem best:
A large number of processes that are pinned to a single CPU results
in every other CPU's load_balance() seeing this overloaded CPU as
"busiest", yet move_tasks() never finds a task to pull-migrate. This
condition occurs during module unload, but

I have an updated userspace parser for this thing, if you
are still keeping it on your website.
Move balancing fields into struct sched_domain, so we can get more
useful results on systems with multiple domains (eg SMT+SMP, CMP+NUMA,
SMP+NUMA, etc).

Cleanup find_busiest_group a bit. New sched-domains code
means we can't have groups without a CPU.

Fix up active load balancing a bit so it doesn't get called when it shouldn't.
Reset the nr_balance_failed counter at more points where we have found
conditions to be balanced. This reduces too aggressive active balancing seen
on some workloads.

When you start writing the PCI root bridge driver you'll run into the
AGP drivers that are already attached to the bridge. I was surprised
by this since I expected AGP to be attached to the AGP bridge but now
I learned that it is a root bridge function.
An ISA LPC bridge driver would be nice too.

Do less affine wakeups. We're trying to reduce dbt2-pgsql idle time
regressions here... make sure we don't don't move tasks the wrong way
in an imbalance condition. Also, remove the cache coldness requirement
from the calculation - this seems to induce sharp cutoff points where

Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals. Allow
each interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load
and target_load. 0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average
with the most recent sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3

Remove the very aggressive idle stuff that has recently gone into

we can regain performance through other methods.

Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use
this to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork
