sched: Make __update_entity_runnable_avg() fast
__update_entity_runnable_avg forms the core of maintaining an entity's runnable
load average. In this function we charge the accumulated run-time since last
update and handle appropriate decay. In some cases, e.g. a waking task, this
time interval may be much larger than our period unit.
Fortunately we can exploit some properties of our series to perform decay for a
blocked update in constant time and account the contribution for a running
update in essentially-constant* time.
[*]: For any running entity they should be performing updates at the tick which
gives us a soft limit of 1 jiffy between updates, and we can compute up to a
32 jiffy update in a single pass.
C program to generate the magic constants in the arrays:
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define N 32
#define WMULT_SHIFT 32
const long WMULT_CONST = ((1UL << N) - 1);
double y;
long runnable_avg_yN_inv[N];
void calc_mult_inv() {
int i;
double yn = 0;
printf("inverses\n");
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
yn = (double)WMULT_CONST * pow(y, i);
runnable_avg_yN_inv[i] = yn;
printf("%2d: 0x%8lx\n", i, runnable_avg_yN_inv[i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
long mult_inv(long c, int n) {
return (c * runnable_avg_yN_inv[n]) >> WMULT_SHIFT;
}
void calc_yn_sum(int n)
{
int i;
double sum = 0, sum_fl = 0, diff = 0;
/*
* We take the floored sum to ensure the sum of partial sums is never
* larger than the actual sum.
*/
printf("sum y^n\n");
printf(" %8s %8s %8s\n", "exact", "floor", "error");
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
sum = (y * sum + y * 1024);
sum_fl = floor(y * sum_fl+ y * 1024);
printf("%2d: %8.0f %8.0f %8.0f\n", i, sum, sum_fl,
sum_fl - sum);
}
printf("\n");
}
void calc_conv(long n) {
long old_n;
int i = -1;
printf("convergence (LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N)\n");
do {
old_n = n;
n = mult_inv(n, 1) + 1024;
i++;
} while (n != old_n);
printf("%d> %ld\n", i - 1, n);
printf("\n");
}
void main() {
y = pow(0.5, 1/(double)N);
calc_mult_inv();
calc_conv(1024);
calc_yn_sum(N);
}
