Modified files:
sys/kern sched_ule.c
Log:
- Add static to local functions and data where it was missing.
- Add an IPI based mechanism for migrating kses. This mechanism is
broken down into several components. This is intended to reduce cache
thrashing by eliminating most cases where one cpu touches another's
run queues.
- kseq_notify() appends a kse to a lockless singly linked list and
conditionally sends an IPI to the target processor. Right now this is
protected by sched_lock but at some point I'd like to get rid of the
global lock. This is why I used something more complicated than a
standard queue.
- kseq_assign() processes our list of kses that have been assigned to us
by other processors. This simply calls sched_add() for each item on the
list after clearing the new KEF_ASSIGNED flag. This flag is used to
indicate that we have been appeneded to the assigned queue but not
added to the run queue yet.
- In sched_add(), instead of adding a KSE to another processor's queue we
use kse_notify() so that we don't touch their queue. Also in sched_add(),
if KEF_ASSIGNED is already set return immediately. This can happen if
a thread is removed and readded so that the priority is recorded properly.
- In sched_rem() return immediately if KEF_ASSIGNED is set. All callers
immediately readd simply to adjust priorites etc.
- In sched_choose(), if we're running an IDLE task or the per cpu idle thread
set our cpumask bit in 'kseq_idle' so that other processors may know that
we are idle. Before this, make a single pass through the run queues of
other processors so that we may find work more immediately if it is
available.
- In sched_runnable(), don't scan each processor's run queue, they will IPI
us if they have work for us to do.
- In sched_add(), if we're adding a thread that can be migrated and we have
plenty of work to do, try to migrate the thread to an idle kseq.
- Simplify the logic in sched_prio() and take the KEF_ASSIGNED flag into
consideration.
- No longer use kseq_choose() to steal threads, it can lose it's last
argument.
- Create a new function runq_steal() which operates like runq_choose() but
skips threads based on some criteria. Currently it will not steal
PRI_ITHD threads. In the future this will be used for CPU binding.
- Create a kseq_steal() that checks each run queue with runq_steal(), use
kseq_steal() in the places where we used kseq_choose() to steal with
before.
