Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] sched: make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:03:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828060354.57846-3-menglong.dong@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250828060354.57846-1-menglong.dong@linux.dev>
For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them
become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling
to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce
significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's
benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry):
54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k]
bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry
10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable
10.07% bpf_trampoline_6442517037 [k] bpf_trampoline_6442517037
8.06% [kernel] [k] __bpf_prog_exit_recur
4.11% libc.so.6 [.] syscall
2.15% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64
1.48% [kernel] [k] memchr_inv
1.32% [kernel] [k] fput
1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user
0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp
So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain
better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in
kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in
migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline.
Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1],
so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in
include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with
"(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned".
The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h
by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c.
Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and
migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The
calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in ___migrate_enable().
The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't
access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail
in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr():
typeof((ptr) + 0)
So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with
arch_raw_cpu_ptr/PERCPU_PTR directly.
The variable "runqueues" is not visible in the kernel modules, and export
it is not a good idea. As Peter Zijlstra advised in [2], we define and
export migrate_enable/migrate_disable in kernel/sched/core.c too, and use
them for the modules.
Before this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY is:
fentry : 113.030 ± 0.149M/s
fentry : 112.501 ± 0.187M/s
fentry : 112.828 ± 0.267M/s
fentry : 115.287 ± 0.241M/s
After this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY increases to:
fentry : 143.644 ± 0.670M/s
fentry : 149.764 ± 0.362M/s
fentry : 149.642 ± 0.156M/s
fentry : 145.263 ± 0.221M/s

v4:
- rename CREATE_MIGRATE_DISABLE to INSTANTIATE_EXPORTED_MIGRATE_DISABLE
- add document for INSTANTIATE_EXPORTED_MIGRATE_DISABLE
v3:
- don't export runqueues, define migrate_enable and migrate_disable in
kernel/sched/core.c and use them for kernel modules instead
- define the macro this_rq_pinned()
- add some comment for this_rq_raw()
v2:
- use PERCPU_PTR() for this_rq_raw() if !CONFIG_SMP
