The current implementation of load tracking invariance scales the contribution with current frequency and uarch performance (only for utilization) of the CPU. One main result of this formula is that the figures are capped by current capacity of CPU. Another one is that the load_avg is not invariant because not scaled with uarch. The util_avg of a periodic task that runs r time slots every p time slots varies in the range : U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) * y^i < Utilization < U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) with U is the max util_avg value = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE At a lower capacity, the range becomes: U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) * y^i' < Utilization < U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) with C reflecting the compute capacity ratio between current capacity and max capacity. so C tries to compensate changes in (1-y^r') but it can't be accurate. Instead of scaling the contribution value of PELT algo, we should scale the running time. The PELT signal aims to track the amount of computation of tasks and/or rq so it seems more correct to scale the running time to reflect the effective amount of computation done since the last update. In order to be fully invariant, we need to apply the same amount of running time and idle time whatever the current capacity. Because running at lower capacity implies that the task will run longer, we have to ensure that the same amount of idle time will be applied when system becomes idle and no idle time has been "stolen". But reaching the maximum utilization value (SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) means that the task is seen as an always-running task whatever the capacity of the CPU (even at max compute capacity). In this case, we can discard this "stolen" idle times which becomes meaningless. In order to achieve this time scaling, a new clock_pelt is created per rq. The increase of this clock scales with current capacity when something is running on rq and synchronizes with clock_task when rq is idle. With this mechanism, we ensure the same running and idle time whatever the current capacity. This also enables to simplify the pelt algorithm by removing all references of uarch and frequency and applying the same contribution to utilization and loads. Furthermore, the scaling is done only once per update of clock (update_rq_clock_task()) instead of during each update of sched_entities and cfs/rt/dl_rq of the rq like the current implementation. This is interesting when cgroup are involved as shown in the results below: On a hikey (octo Arm64 platform). Performance cpufreq governor and only shallowest c-state to remove variance generated by those power features so we only track the impact of pelt algo. each test runs 16 times: ./perf bench sched pipe (higher is better) kernel tip/sched/core + patch ops/seconds ops/seconds diff cgroup root 59652(+/- 0.18%) 59876(+/- 0.24%) +0.38% level1 55608(+/- 0.27%) 55923(+/- 0.24%) +0.57% level2 52115(+/- 0.29%) 52564(+/- 0.22%) +0.86% hackbench -l 1000 (lower is better) kernel tip/sched/core + patch duration(sec) duration(sec) diff cgroup root 4.453(+/- 2.37%) 4.383(+/- 2.88%) -1.57% level1 4.859(+/- 8.50%) 4.830(+/- 7.07%) -0.60% level2 5.063(+/- 9.83%) 4.928(+/- 9.66%) -2.66% Then, the responsiveness of PELT is improved when CPU is not running at max capacity with this new algorithm. I have put below some examples of duration to reach some typical load values according to the capacity of the CPU with current implementation and with this patch. These values has been computed based on the geometric series and the half period value: Util (%) max capacity half capacity(mainline) half capacity(w/ patch) 972 (95%) 138ms not reachable 276ms 486 (47.5%) 30ms 138ms 60ms 256 (25%) 13ms 32ms 26ms On my hikey (octo Arm64 platform) with schedutil governor, the time to reach max OPP when starting from a null utilization, decreases from 223ms with current scale invariance down to 121ms with the new algorithm.
