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

114 * Handle NO_HZ for the global load-average.
116 * Since the above described distributed algorithm to compute the global
117 * load-average relies on per-cpu sampling from the tick, it is affected by
118 * NO_HZ.
120 * The basic idea is to fold the nr_active delta into a global idle-delta upon
121 * entering NO_HZ state such that we can include this as an 'extra' cpu delta
122 * when we read the global state.
124 * Obviously reality has to ruin such a delightfully simple scheme:
126 * - When we go NO_HZ idle during the window, we can negate our sample
127 * contribution, causing under-accounting.
129 * We avoid this by keeping two idle-delta counters and flipping them
130 * when the window starts, thus separating old and new NO_HZ load.
132 * The only trick is the slight shift in index flip for read vs write.
134 * 0s 5s 10s 15s
135 * +10 +10 +10 +10
136 * |-|-----------|-|-----------|-|-----------|-|
137 * r:0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
138 * w:0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
140 * This ensures we'll fold the old idle contribution in this window while
141 * accumlating the new one.
143 * - When we wake up from NO_HZ idle during the window, we push up our
144 * contribution, since we effectively move our sample point to a known
145 * busy state.
147 * This is solved by pushing the window forward, and thus skipping the
148 * sample, for this cpu (effectively using the idle-delta for this cpu which
149 * was in effect at the time the window opened). This also solves the issue
150 * of having to deal with a cpu having been in NOHZ idle for multiple
151 * LOAD_FREQ intervals.
153 * When making the ILB scale, we should try to pull this in as well.
