Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] sched/fair: Add EAS checks before updating overutilized
Overutilized field of root domain is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.
Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. overload and
overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.
With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.
6.8-rc4:
7.18% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair
6.78% s [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
+patch:
0.14% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair
0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
Minor change: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to
be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.
Fixes: 2802bf3cd936 ("sched/fair: Add over-utilization/tipping point indicator")
