Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/3] scheduler: expose the topology of clusters and add cluster scheduler

ARM64 server chip Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data while each cluster has
local L3 tag. On the other hand, each cluster will share some internal system
bus. This means cache is much more affine inside one cluster than across
clusters.

There is a similar need for clustering in x86. Some x86 cores could share L2 caches
that is similar to the cluster in Kupeng 920 (e.g. on Jacobsville there are 6 clusters
of 4 Atom cores, each cluster sharing a separate L2, and 24 cores sharing L3).

Having a sched_domain for clusters will bring two aspects of improvement:
1. spreading unrelated tasks among clusters, which decreases the contention of resources
and improve the throughput.
unrelated tasks might be put randomly without cluster sched_domain:
+-------------------+ +-----------------+
| +----+ +----+ | | |
| |task| |task| | | |
| |1 | |2 | | | |
| +----+ +----+ | | |
| | | |
| cluster1 | | cluster2 |
+-------------------+ +-----------------+

but with cluster sched_domain, they are likely to spread due to LB:
+-------------------+ +-----------------+
| +----+ | | +----+ |
| |task| | | |task| |
| |1 | | | |2 | |
| +----+ | | +----+ |
| | | |
| cluster1 | | cluster2 |
+-------------------+ +-----------------+

2. gathering related tasks within a cluster, which improves the cache affinity of tasks
talking with each other.
Without cluster sched_domain, related tasks might be put randomly. In case task1-8 have
relationship as below:
Task1 wakes up task4
Task2 wakes up task5
Task3 wakes up task6
Task4 wakes up task7
With the tuning of select_idle_cpu() to scan local cluster first, those tasks might
get a chance to be gathered like:
+---------------------------+ +----------------------+
| +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ |
| |task| |task | | | |task| |task | |
| |1 | | 4 | | | |2 | |5 | |
| +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ |
| | | |
| cluster1 | | cluster2 |
| | | |
| | | |
| +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ |
| |task | | task | | | |task | |task | |
| |3 | | 6 | | | |4 | |8 | |
| +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ |
+---------------------------+ +----------------------+
Otherwise, the result might be:
+---------------------------+ +----------------------+
| +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ |
| |task| |task | | | |task| |task | |
| |1 | | 2 | | | |5 | |6 | |
| +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ |
| | | |
| cluster1 | | cluster2 |
| | | |
| | | |
| +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ |
| |task | | task | | | |task | |task | |
| |3 | | 4 | | | |7 | |8 | |
| +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ |
+---------------------------+ +----------------------+

Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 3/3] scheduler: Add cluster scheduler level for x86

From: Tim Chen <[email protected]>

There are x86 CPU architectures (e.g. Jacobsville) where L2 cahce
is shared among a cluster of cores instead of being exclusive
to one single core.

To prevent oversubscription of L2 cache, load should be
balanced between such L2 clusters, especially for tasks with
no shared data.

Also with cluster scheduling policy where tasks are woken up
in the same L2 cluster, we will benefit from keeping tasks
related to each other and likely sharing data in the same L2
cluster.

Add CPU masks of CPUs sharing the L2 cache so we can build such
L2 cluster scheduler domain.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 1/3] topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die.

From: Jonathan Cameron <[email protected]>

Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.

For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means the cost to transfer ownership of a cacheline between CPUs
within a cluster is lower than between CPUs in different clusters on
the same die. Hence, it can make sense to tell the scheduler to use
the cache affinity of the cluster to make better decision on thread
migration.

This patch simply exposes this information to userspace libraries
like hwloc by providing cluster_cpus and related sysfs attributes.
PoC of HWLOC support at [2].

Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.

Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).

Currently the ID provided is the offset of the Processor
Hierarchy Nodes Structure within PPTT. Whilst this is unique
it is not terribly elegant so alternative suggestions welcome.

Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.

Makes sense and is inline with the docs above.
