psi: introduce state_mask to represent stalled psi states
Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v6. This is a respin of: https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20190308184311.144521-1-surenb%40google.com/ Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices. Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible. Psi also doesn't aggregate its averages at a high-enough frequency right now. This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be notified when these are breached. As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring. With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off, mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important processes before device becomes visibly sluggish. In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives compared to vmpressure signals. Having ability to specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly. The new interface is straight-forward. The user opens one of the pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the maximum stall time over a given window of time. E.g.: /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */ char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000" fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory") write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger)) while (poll() >= 0) { ... }; close(fd); When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order to emit event signals in a timely fashion. Once the stalling subsides, aggregation reverts back to normal. The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor. To stop monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the trigger is discarded. Patches 1-6 prepare the psi code for polling support. Patch 7 implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the pressure files. The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner. This patch (of 7): The psi monitoring patches will need to determine the same states as record_times(). To avoid calculating them twice, maintain a state mask that can be consulted cheaply. Do this in a separate patch to keep the churn in the main feature patch at a minimum. This adds 4-byte state_mask member into psi_group_cpu struct which results in its first cacheline-aligned part becoming 52 bytes long. Add explicit values to enumeration element counters that affect psi_group_cpu struct size.

The Code-line points to `period` being 0 inside update_stats(), and we
divide by that when calculating that period's pressure percentage.
The elapsed period should never be 0. The reason this can happen is due
to an off-by-one in the idle time / missing period calculation combined
with a coarse sched_clock() in the virtual machine.
The target time for aggregation is advanced into the future on a fixed
grid to prevent clock drift. So when an aggregation runs after some idle
period, we can not just set it to "now + psi_period", but have to
calculate the downtime and advance the target time relative to itself.
However, if the aggregator was disabled exactly one psi_period (ns), we
drop one idle period in the calculation due to a > when we should do >=.
In that case, next_update will be advanced from 'now - psi_period' to
'now' when it should be moved to 'now + psi_period'. The run finishes
with last_update == next_update == sched_clock().
With hardware clocks, this exact nanosecond match isn't likely in the
first place; but if it does happen, the clock will still have moved on and
the period non-zero by the time the worker runs. A pointlessly short
period, but besides the extra work, no harm no foul. However, a slow
sched_clock() like we have on VMs might not have advanced either by the
time the worker runs again. And when we calculate the elapsed period, the
result, our pressure divisor, will be 0. Ouch.
Fix this by correctly handling the situation when the elapsed time between
aggregation runs is precisely two periods, and advance the expiration
timestamp correctly to period into the future.

psi: fix aggregation idle shut-off
psi has provisions to shut off the periodic aggregation worker when
there is a period of no task activity - and thus no data that needs
aggregating. However, while developing psi monitoring, Suren noticed
that the aggregation clock currently won't stay shut off for good.
Debugging this revealed a flaw in the idle design: an aggregation run
will see no task activity and decide to go to sleep; shortly thereafter,
the kworker thread that executed the aggregation will go idle and cause
a scheduling change, during which the psi callback will kick the
!pending worker again. This will ping-pong forever, and is equivalent
to having no shut-off logic at all (but with more code!)
Fix this by exempting aggregation workers from psi's clock waking logic
when the state change is them going to sleep. To do this, tag workers
with the last work function they executed, and if in psi we see a worker
going to sleep after aggregating psi data, we will not reschedule the
aggregation work item.
What if the worker is also executing other items before or after?
Any psi state times that were incurred by work items preceding the
aggregation work will have been collected from the per-cpu buckets
during the aggregation itself. If there are work items following the
aggregation work, the worker's last_func tag will be overwritten and the
aggregator will be kept alive to process this genuine new activity.
If the aggregation work is the last thing the worker does, and we decide
to go idle, the brief period of non-idle time incurred between the
aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will be stranded in the
per-cpu buckets until the clock is woken by later activity. But that
should not be a problem. The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and
future activity will wake the clock with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth
of data we can leave behind when disabling aggregation. If it takes a
worker more than two seconds to go idle after it finishes its last work
item, we likely have bigger problems in the system, and won't notice one
sample that was averaged with a bogus per-CPU weight.

psi: make disabling/enabling easier for vendor kernels
Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others. With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to make it easier: 1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled unless a user requests it at boot-time. To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=. 2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs when the feature is disabled. In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says: : The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against : your patch and a vanilla kernel : : 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 : kconfigdisable-v1r1 vanilla psidisable-v1r1 : Amean 1 1.3100 ( 0.00%) 1.3923 ( -6.28%) 1.3427 ( -2.49%) : Amean 3 3.8860 ( 0.00%) 4.1230 * -6.10%* 3.8860 ( -0.00%) : Amean 5 6.8847 ( 0.00%) 8.0390 * -16.77%* 6.7727 ( 1.63%) : Amean 7 9.9310 ( 0.00%) 10.8367 * -9.12%* 9.9910 ( -0.60%) : Amean 12 16.6577 ( 0.00%) 18.2363 * -9.48%* 17.1083 ( -2.71%) : Amean 18 26.5133 ( 0.00%) 27.8833 * -5.17%* 25.7663 ( 2.82%) : Amean 24 34.3003 ( 0.00%) 34.6830 ( -1.12%) 32.0450 ( 6.58%) : Amean 30 40.0063 ( 0.00%) 40.5800 ( -1.43%) 41.5087 ( -3.76%) : Amean 32 40.1407 ( 0.00%) 41.2273 ( -2.71%) 39.9417 ( 0.50%) : : It's showing that the vanilla kernel takes a hit (as the bisection : indicated it would) and that disabling PSI by default is reasonably : close in terms of performance for this particular workload on this : particular machine so; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181127165329.GA29728@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Tested-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reported-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

psi: cgroup support
On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health, fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others. This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only the tasks inside the cgroup.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).
