Subject: [RFC PATCH v5] sched/fair: select idle cpu from idle cpumask for task wakeup
Date:   Wed, 18 Nov 2020 12:31:13 +0800
Message-Id: <20201118043113.53128-1-aubrey.li@linux.intel.com>

Add idle cpumask to track idle cpus in sched domain. When a CPU
enters idle, if the idle driver indicates to stop tick, this CPU
is set in the idle cpumask to be a wakeup target. And if the CPU
is not in idle, the CPU is cleared in idle cpumask during scheduler
tick to ratelimit idle cpumask update.

When a task wakes up to select an idle cpu, scanning idle cpumask
has low cost than scanning all the cpus in last level cache domain,
especially when the system is heavily loaded.

Benchmarks were tested on a x86 4 socket system with 24 cores per
socket and 2 hyperthreads per core, total 192 CPUs. Hackbench and
schbench have no notable change, uperf has:

uperf throughput: netperf workload, tcp_nodelay, r/w size = 90

  threads	baseline-avg	%std	patch-avg	%std
  96		1		0.83	1.23		3.27
  144		1		1.03	1.67		2.67
  192		1		0.69	1.81		3.59
  240		1		2.84	1.51		2.67

v4->v5:
- add update_idle_cpumask for s2idle case
- keep the same ordering of tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and update_
  idle_cpumask() everywhere

v3->v4:
- change setting idle cpumask from every idle entry to tickless idle
  if cpu driver is available.
- move clearing idle cpumask to scheduler_tick to decouple nohz mode.

v2->v3:
- change setting idle cpumask to every idle entry, otherwise schbench
  has a regression of 99th percentile latency.
- change clearing idle cpumask to nohz_balancer_kick(), so updating
  idle cpumask is ratelimited in the idle exiting path.
- set SCHED_IDLE cpu in idle cpumask to allow it as a wakeup target.

v1->v2:
- idle cpumask is updated in the nohz routines, by initializing idle
  cpumask with sched_domain_span(sd), nohz=off case remains the original
  behavior.
