Appended patch adds a new sched domain for representing multi-core with
shared caches between cores. Consider a dual package system, each package
containing two cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a
package. If there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch
those two processes will be scheduled on different packages.
On such system, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with
2 users).
This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches. On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by
domain degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing
power savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more
details.. I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)
Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

stale change.
Otherwise, looks pretty clean to me, both the scheduler and the x86_*
arch level bits! Would be nice to get this tested in -mm too.

Andrew, Please apply to -mm. Thanks.

Appended patch adds a new sched domain for representing multi-core with
shared caches between cores. Consider a dual package system, each package
containing two cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a
package. If there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch
those two processes will be scheduled on different packages.
On such system, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with
2 users).
This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches. On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by
domain degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing
power savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more
details.. I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)
Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

Wouldn't it be better to just put that information into the cpuinfo_x86?
We're having too many per CPU arrays already.

This needs a comment on what a LLC actually is.

Dito.

This could be __cpuinitdata, no?
Actually it would be better to pass this information in some other way
to smpboot.c than to add more and more arrays like this. It's only
needed for the current CPU, because for the others the information
is in cpu_llc_shared_map
Perhaps SMP boot up should pass around a pointer to temporary data like this?
Or discover it in smpboot.c with a function call?

So here, CONFIG_SCHED_SMT only comes into effect if CONFIG_SCHED_MC=n.

But here, if CONFIG_CHED_MC=y and CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y, SMT will win.

I think the for_each_online_cpu() is wrong. The CPU hotplug CPU_UP
notifier is called _before_ the newly-upped CPU is marked in
cpu_online_map. You'll see that the other code in build_sched_domains() is
using for_each_cpu_mask with the cpu mask which is soon to become
cpu_online_map.

And in this case, if CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y and CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y, SMT will
lose.
Perhaps we should just make SMT and MC disjoint in Kconfig. Your call.
I'll duck the patch for now.

In smpboot.c we require the llc id of current CPU and all other online cpus.
I will put cpu_llc_shared_map info into cpuinfo_x86 (in future with power
savings sched policy, it will be used whenever someone changes sched policy)
And will make cpu_llc_id[] as __cpuinitdata.

Lowest domain the cpu gets attached to it is SMT domain.

Could we all do it with single CONFIG_SCHED_SMT or CONFIG_NUMA or
something like that? No need for zillion options...

No. SMT and MC are not disjoint.

Appended a new patch with all the feedback incorporated. Please apply.

Appended patch adds a new sched domain for representing multi-core with
shared caches between cores. Consider a dual package system, each package
containing two cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a
package. If there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch
those two processes will be scheduled on different packages.
On such system, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with
2 users).
This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches. On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by
domain degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing
power savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more
details.. I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)
Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

We thought about it too before and felt that CONFIG_SCHED_MC is more appropriate
and cleaner.

It's still not clear what's supposed to be happening here.
In build_sched_domains() we still have code which does:
for_each_cpu_mask(...) {
...
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_MC
...
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
...
#endif
...
}
...
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
...
#endif
...
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_MC
...
#endif
So in the first case the SCHED_SMT code will win and in the second case the
SCHED_MC code will win. I think. The code is so repetitive in there that
`patch' may have put the hunks in the wrong place.
What is the design intention here? What do we _want_ to happen if both MC
and SMT are enabled?
Also the path tests CONFIG_SCHED_MT in a few places where it meant to use
CONFIG_SCHED_SMT, which rather casts doubt upon the testing quality.

I am not sure what you mean here. At all the above pointed places, both
MC and SMT will win if both are configured.

I will check your -mm tree.

If both MC and SMT are enabled(and available on the system), then there will
be two domain levels one for MC and another one for SMT.

:( Got introduced in my last version of the patch. Thanks for fixing it.

I was assuming that the code really does something like:
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_MC
some_global_thing = <expr>
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
some_global_thing = <expr>
#endif
}
...
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
some_other_global_thing = <expr>
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_MC
some_other_global_thing = <expr>
#endif
Which, looking a bit closer, was wrong (yes?)
It is a bit irregular that in one place we do the SMT processing first and
in another we do the MC processing first, but I guess it'll work OK.
We do need to be super-careful in the reviewing and testing here. If we
slip up we won't have a nice crash to tell us. Instead we'll find that
some machines with some configs will, under some workloads, take a few
percent longer than they should. We could waste people's time for years
until some developer stumbles across something.

I have done testing with specJBB, kernel-compilation, specrate and we are
doing some testing with database workload.. I will also request our
perf team to take a stab at this.
BTW, can you also apply this experimental only patch to -mm.
--
test patch for -mm.. enable CONFIG_SCHED_MC by default in Kconfig.
on systems with no shared caches between cores, this
should help validate domain setup and degeneration code..

Hi,
Could cache-sharing multi-core chips be represented somehow in
/proc/cpuinfo too? Such information can be useful in userspace too
(without having to run cpuid & such). For instance:
physical id : 0
siblings : 2
l3 id : 0
l2 id : 0
core id : 0
cpu cores : 2
etc.
Regards,
Samuel

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/indexY/shared_cpu_map has this info
already
There is one more patch in works which enables exporting the multi-core
