hulk inclusion category: performance bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IA63KX?from=project-issue -------------------------------- When running the context1 test case in the unixbench test suite, the tool reports the presence of flase sharing in task_group: Cache Line PA PC Function Count Percent 2099e66900 56345 24.2% 2099e66918 ffd584306f7690 calc_group_shares+0x10 2099e66940 ffd584306f7730 calc_group_shares+0xb0 2099e66910 ffd584306e94b0 set_task_cpu+0xc8 2099e66950 ffd584306e94f0 set_task_cpu+0x108 2099e66908 ffd584306e94d8 set_task_cpu+0xf0 After analysis, it was found that some members of the struct task_group share LLC cacheline, such as members se and load_avg. load_avg is modified frequently, resulting in frequent updates of the LLC cacheline, affecting the read efficiency of other members. Here provide the UnixBench test result as below: 1) Run the command of "perf stat -d -d -d -- ./Run -c `nproc` -i 10 context1" 10 times and take the average.
