12 * Global load-average calculations
14 * We take a distributed and async approach to calculating the global load-avg
15 * in order to minimize overhead.
17 * The global load average is an exponentially decaying average of nr_running +
18 * nr_uninterruptible.
20 * Once every LOAD_FREQ:
22 * nr_active = 0;
23 * for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
24 * nr_active += cpu_of(cpu)->nr_running + cpu_of(cpu)->nr_uninterruptible;
26 * avenrun[n] = avenrun[0] * exp_n + nr_active * (1 - exp_n)
28 * Due to a number of reasons the above turns in the mess below:
30 * - for_each_possible_cpu() is prohibitively expensive on machines with
31 * serious number of CPUs, therefore we need to take a distributed approach
32 * to calculating nr_active.
34 * \Sum_i x_i(t) = \Sum_i x_i(t) - x_i(t_0) | x_i(t_0) := 0
35 * = \Sum_i { \Sum_j=1 x_i(t_j) - x_i(t_j-1) }
37 * So assuming nr_active := 0 when we start out -- true per definition, we
38 * can simply take per-CPU deltas and fold those into a global accumulate
39 * to obtain the same result. See calc_load_fold_active().
41 * Furthermore, in order to avoid synchronizing all per-CPU delta folding
42 * across the machine, we assume 10 ticks is sufficient time for every
43 * CPU to have completed this task.
45 * This places an upper-bound on the IRQ-off latency of the machine. Then
46 * again, being late doesn't loose the delta, just wrecks the sample.
48 * - cpu_rq()->nr_uninterruptible isn't accurately tracked per-CPU because
49 * this would add another cross-CPU cacheline miss and atomic operation
50 * to the wakeup path. Instead we increment on whatever CPU the task ran
51 * when it went into uninterruptible state and decrement on whatever CPU
52 * did the wakeup. This means that only the sum of nr_uninterruptible over
53 * all CPUs yields the correct result.
55 * This covers the NO_HZ=n code, for extra head-aches, see the comment below.

165 * Handle NO_HZ for the global load-average.
167 * Since the above described distributed algorithm to compute the global
168 * load-average relies on per-CPU sampling from the tick, it is affected by
169 * NO_HZ.
171 * The basic idea is to fold the nr_active delta into a global NO_HZ-delta upon
172 * entering NO_HZ state such that we can include this as an 'extra' CPU delta
173 * when we read the global state.
175 * Obviously reality has to ruin such a delightfully simple scheme:
177 * - When we go NO_HZ idle during the window, we can negate our sample
178 * contribution, causing under-accounting.
180 * We avoid this by keeping two NO_HZ-delta counters and flipping them
181 * when the window starts, thus separating old and new NO_HZ load.
183 * The only trick is the slight shift in index flip for read vs write.
185 * 0s 5s 10s 15s

188 * r:0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
189 * w:0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
191 * This ensures we'll fold the old NO_HZ contribution in this window while
192 * accumlating the new one.
194 * - When we wake up from NO_HZ during the window, we push up our
195 * contribution, since we effectively move our sample point to a known
196 * busy state.
198 * This is solved by pushing the window forward, and thus skipping the
199 * sample, for this CPU (effectively using the NO_HZ-delta for this CPU which
200 * was in effect at the time the window opened). This also solves the issue
201 * of having to deal with a CPU having been in NO_HZ for multiple LOAD_FREQ
202 * intervals.
204 * When making the ILB scale, we should try to pull this in as well.
