6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Stultz <jstultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ddae0ca2a8fe12d0e24ab10ba759c3fbd755ada8 upstream.
It was reported that in moving to 6.1, a larger then 10%
regression was seen in the performance of
clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID,...).
Using a simple reproducer, I found:
5.10:
100000000 calls in 24345994193 ns => 243.460 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24288172050 ns => 242.882 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24289135225 ns => 242.891 ns per call
6.1:
100000000 calls in 28248646742 ns => 282.486 ns per call
100000000 calls in 28227055067 ns => 282.271 ns per call
100000000 calls in 28177471287 ns => 281.775 ns per call
The cause of this was finally narrowed down to the addition of
psi_account_irqtime() in update_rq_clock_task(), in commit
52b1364ba0b1 ("sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ
pressure").
In my initial attempt to resolve this, I leaned towards moving
all accounting work out of the clock_gettime() call path, but it
wasn't very pretty, so it will have to wait for a later deeper
rework. Instead, Peter shared this approach:
Rework psi_account_irqtime() to use its own psi_irq_time base
for accounting, and move it out of the hotpath, calling it
instead from sched_tick() and __schedule().
In testing this, we found the importance of ensuring
psi_account_irqtime() is run under the rq_lock, which Johannes
Weiner helpfully explained, so also add some lockdep annotations
to make that requirement clear.
With this change the performance is back in-line with 5.10:
6.1+fix:
100000000 calls in 24297324597 ns => 242.973 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24318869234 ns => 243.189 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24291564588 ns => 242.916 ns per call
