CPU Scheduler implementation hints for architecture specific code
|
||||
|
||||
Nick Piggin, 2005
|
||||
|
||||
Context switch
|
||||
==============
|
||||
1. Runqueue locking
|
||||
By default, the switch_to arch function is called with the runqueue
|
||||
locked. This is usually not a problem unless switch_to may need to
|
||||
take the runqueue lock. This is usually due to a wake up operation in
|
||||
the context switch. See arch/ia64/include/asm/switch_to.h for an example.
|
||||
|
||||
To request the scheduler call switch_to with the runqueue unlocked,
|
||||
you must `#define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW` in a header file
|
||||
(typically the one where switch_to is defined).
|
||||
|
||||
Unlocked context switches introduce only a very minor performance
|
||||
penalty to the core scheduler implementation in the CONFIG_SMP case.
|
||||
|
||||
CPU idle
|
||||
========
|
||||
Your cpu_idle routines need to obey the following rules:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Preempt should now disabled over idle routines. Should only
|
||||
be enabled to call schedule() then disabled again.
|
||||
|
||||
2. need_resched/TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only ever set, and will never
|
||||
be cleared until the running task has called schedule(). Idle
|
||||
threads need only ever query need_resched, and may never set or
|
||||
clear it.
|
||||
|
||||
3. When cpu_idle finds (need_resched() == 'true'), it should call
|
||||
schedule(). It should not call schedule() otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The only time interrupts need to be disabled when checking
|
||||
need_resched is if we are about to sleep the processor until
|
||||
the next interrupt (this doesn't provide any protection of
|
||||
need_resched, it prevents losing an interrupt).
|
||||
|
||||
4a. Common problem with this type of sleep appears to be:
|
||||
local_irq_disable();
|
||||
if (!need_resched()) {
|
||||
local_irq_enable();
|
||||
*** resched interrupt arrives here ***
|
||||
__asm__("sleep until next interrupt");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
5. TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG can be set by idle routines that do not
|
||||
need an interrupt to wake them up when need_resched goes high.
|
||||
In other words, they must be periodically polling need_resched,
|
||||
although it may be reasonable to do some background work or enter
|
||||
a low CPU priority.
|
||||
|
||||
5a. If TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, and we do decide to enter
|
||||
an interrupt sleep, it needs to be cleared then a memory
|
||||
barrier issued (followed by a test of need_resched with
|
||||
interrupts disabled, as explained in 3).
|
||||
|
||||
arch/x86/kernel/process.c has examples of both polling and
|
||||
sleeping idle functions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Possible arch/ problems
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Possible arch problems I found (and either tried to fix or didn't):
|
||||
|
||||
ia64 - is safe_halt call racy vs interrupts? (does it sleep?) (See #4a)
|
||||
|
||||
sh64 - Is sleeping racy vs interrupts? (See #4a)
|
||||
|
||||
sparc - IRQs on at this point(?), change local_irq_save to _disable.
|
||||
- TODO: needs secondary CPUs to disable preempt (See #1)
