      sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default · cb251765
      Mel Gorman authored and Ingo Molnar's avatar Ingo Molnar committed
      
      schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
      incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
      disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
      
      This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
      disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
      by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
      it when necessary.
      
      The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
      If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
      the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
      scheduler.
      
      These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
      machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
      single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

      In constract, this shows a relatively steady 2-3% gain at higher thread
      counts. Due to the nature of the patch and the type of workload, it's
      not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

      Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
      
      The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
      scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
      tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
      they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
      It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
      alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
      not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
      may be wanted but is unavailable.

      Tejun Heo authored
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
