rcuperf: Change rcuperf to rcuscale

2020-08-25T01:39:24Z

This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file. This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf to rcuscale. [ paulmck: Fix bugs located by Stephen Rothwell. ] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Pull sched/fifo updates from Ingo Molnar: "This adds the sched_set_fifo*() encapsulation APIs to remove static priority level knowledge from non-scheduler code. The three APIs for non-scheduler code to set SCHED_FIFO are: - sched_set_fifo() - sched_set_fifo_low() - sched_set_normal() These are two FIFO priority levels: default (high), and a 'low' priority level, plus sched_set_normal() to set the policy back to non-SCHED_FIFO. Since the changes affect a lot of non-scheduler code, we kept this in a separate tree" * tag 'sched-fifo-2020-08-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (24 commits) sched,tracing: Convert to sched_set_fifo() sched: Remove sched_set_*() return value sched: Remove sched_setscheduler*() EXPORTs sched,psi: Convert to sched_set_fifo_low() sched,rcutorture: Convert to sched_set_fifo_low() sched,rcuperf: Convert to sched_set_fifo_low() sched,locktorture: Convert to sched_set_fifo() sched,irq: Convert to sched_set_fifo() sched,watchdog: Convert to sched_set_fifo() sched,serial: Convert to sched_set_fifo() sched,powerclamp: Convert to sched_set_fifo() sched,ion: Convert to sched_set_normal() sched,powercap: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,spi: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,mmc: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,ivtv: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,drm/scheduler: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,msm: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,psci: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() sched,drbd: Convert to sched_set_fifo*() ...

rcuperf: Add comments explaining the high reader overhead

2020-06-29T19:00:44Z

This commit adds comments explaining why the readers have otherwise insane levels of measurement overhead, namely that they are intended as a test load for update-side performance measurements, not as a straight-up read-side performance test. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcuperf: Remove useless while loops around wait_event

2020-06-29T19:00:44Z

wait_event() already retries if the condition for the wake up is not satisifed after wake up. Remove them from the rcuperf test. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

sched,rcuperf: Convert to sched_set_fifo_low()

2020-06-15T12:10:24Z

Because SCHED_FIFO is a broken scheduler model (see previous patches) take away the priority field, the kernel can't possibly make an informed decision. Effectively no change. Cc: paulmck@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcuperf: Measure memory footprint during kfree_rcu() test

2020-02-21T00:03:31Z

During changes to kfree_rcu() code, we often check the amount of free memory. As an alternative to checking this manually, this commit adds a measurement in the test itself. It measures four times during the test for available memory, digitally filters these measurements to produce a running average with a weight of 0.5, and compares this digitally filtered value with the amount of available memory at the beginning of the test. Something like the following is printed at the end of the run: Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 6369738407 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 764, memory footprint: 216MB Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Paul E.
