If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.
After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,
struct task_struct {
...
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_rt_entity rt;
struct sched_dl_entity dl;
...
struct sched_statistics stats;
...
};
Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -
struct sched_entity_stats {
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_statistics stats;
} __no_randomize_layout;
Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.
The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.
As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5
[These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is
because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
different test machine.]
Almost no impact on the sched performance.
No functional change.
