From: Changwoo Min <changwoo@igalia.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.14-rc1 commit 3a9910b5904d29c566e3ff9290990b519827ba75 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/ID7HLY Reference: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commi... -------------------------------- Returns a high-performance monotonically non-decreasing clock for the current CPU. The clock returned is in nanoseconds. It provides the following properties: 1) High performance: Many BPF schedulers call bpf_ktime_get_ns() frequently to account for execution time and track tasks' runtime properties. Unfortunately, in some hardware platforms, bpf_ktime_get_ns() -- which eventually reads a hardware timestamp counter -- is neither performant nor scalable. scx_bpf_now() aims to provide a high-performance clock by using the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever possible. 2) High enough resolution for the BPF scheduler use cases: In most BPF scheduler use cases, the required clock resolution is lower than the most accurate hardware clock (e.g., rdtsc in x86). scx_bpf_now() basically uses the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever it is valid. It considers that the rq clock is valid from the time the rq clock is updated (update_rq_clock) until the rq is unlocked (rq_unpin_lock). 3) Monotonically non-decreasing clock for the same CPU: scx_bpf_now() guarantees the clock never goes backward when comparing them in the same CPU. On the other hand, when comparing clocks in different CPUs, there is no such guarantee -- the clock can go backward. It provides a monotonically *non-decreasing* clock so that it would provide the same clock values in two different scx_bpf_now() calls in the same CPU during the same period of when the rq clock is valid. An rq clock becomes valid when it is updated using update_rq_clock() and invalidated when the rq is unlocked using rq_unpin_lock(). Let's suppose the following timeline in the scheduler core: T1. rq_lock(rq) T2. update_rq_clock(rq) T3. a sched_ext BPF operation T4. rq_unlock(rq) T5. a sched_ext BPF operation T6. rq_lock(rq) T7. update_rq_clock(rq) For [T2, T4), we consider that rq clock is valid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is set), so scx_bpf_now() calls during [T2, T4) (including T3) will return the rq clock updated at T2. For duration [T4, T7), when a BPF scheduler can still call scx_bpf_now() (T5), we consider the rq clock is invalid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is unset at T4). So when calling scx_bpf_now() at T5, we will return a fresh clock value by calling sched_clock_cpu() internally. Also, to prevent getting outdated rq clocks from a previous scx scheduler, invalidate all the rq clocks when unloading a BPF scheduler. One example of calling scx_bpf_now(), when the rq clock is invalid (like T5), is in scx_central [1]. The scx_central scheduler uses a BPF timer for preemptive scheduling. In every msec, the timer callback checks if the currently running tasks exceed their timeslice. At the beginning of the BPF timer callback (central_timerfn in scx_central.bpf.c), scx_central gets the current time. When the BPF timer callback runs, the rq clock could be invalid, the same as T5. In this case, scx_bpf_now() returns a fresh clock value rather than returning the old one (T2).
