similar to: Power aware credit scheduler

Hi, This patch intends to accurate vcpu weighting for CPU intensive job. The reason of this problem is that vcpu round-robin queue blocks large weight vcpus by small weight vcpus. For example, we assume following case on 2pcpu environment. (with 4domains (each domain has 2vcpus)) dom1 vcpu0,1 w128 credit 4 dom2 vcpu0,1 w128 credit 4 dom3 vcpu0,1 w256 credit 8 dom4 vcpu0,1 w512 credit 15

Add a xen command-line parameter, sched_credit_tslice_ms, to set the timeslice of the credit1 scheduler.

Hi, Is there any documentation on enabling hypervisor support for both C and P-state control? On xen-unstable and linux-2.6.18-xen.hg, if I enable cpuidle=1 on the xen command line and then run xenpm, I will get output for C-states (shown below) but it complains that "Xen cpufreq is not enabled!" cpu id : 0 total C-states : 2 idle time(ms) : 73264 C0

Enable cpufreq support in Xen for AMD Operton processors by: 1) Allowing the PowerNow! driver in dom0 to write to the PowerNow! MSRs. 2) Adding the cpufreq notifier chain to time-xen.c in dom0. On a frequency change, a platform hypercall is performed to scale the frequency multiplier in the hypervisor. 3) Adding a platform hypercall to the hypervisor the scale the frequency multiplier and reset

Modify the cpufreq ondemand governor so that it can get idle and total ticks from the Xen hypervisor. Linux and Xen have different ideas of what an idle tick is, so the Xen values for both have to be returned in the same platform hypercall.

Specifically, what values are or aren''t accepted as CPU identifier, and how the values get interpreted should be consistent across sub-commands (intended behavior now: non-negative values are okay, and along with omitting the argument, specifying "all" will also be accepted). For error handling, error messages should get consistently issued to stderr, and the tool should now

it seems getting lost, and thus resend.

But how

Stamp softlockup thread earlier before do_timer, because the latter is the one to actually trigger lock warning for long-time offline. Or else, I obserevd softlockup warning easily at manual vcpu hot-remove/plug, or when suspend cancel into old context. One point here is to cover both stolen and blocked time to compare with offline threshold. vcpu hotplug falls into ''stolen''

Address some credit2 issues. This patch series, along with the recent changes to the cpupools interface, should address some of the strange credit2 instability. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Now that I finally got around to update our sources, I had a closer look at those changes, and apart from stylistic issues on the Linux side (part of which I may have asked for, but the result was somewhat overdone so the code is hardly legible now - I''ve got a patch queued to streamline this a little) I find it rather odd (fragile) that the who-is-in-charge information gets propagated

Modify the cpufreq ondemand governor so that it can get idle and total ticks from the Xen hypervisor. Linux and Xen have different ideas of what an idle tick is, so the Xen values for both have to be returned in the same platform hypercall. Otherwise, use basically the same scheme as native Linux.

Hi list, I'm using C7 and noticed that cpu freq is enabled with governor conservative. I've used cpupower utils for governor change, but at the next boot it restart with conservative governor. I've tried also to start cpupower service and setting OPT in /etc/sysconfig/cpupower but it does not works. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

What is the best way to pin VCPUs. It looks like the implementation of affinity currently is at best only "soft". Regards, K. Y _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Add self pause ability, which is required by vcpu0/dom0 when running on a AP. This can''t be satisfied by existing interface, since the new flag also serves as a sync point.

Various versions of Linux under various circumstances select TSC as the primary clocksource for the kernel. This is especially true for uniprocessor kernels, but also in some cases for multiprocessor kernels. In most cases, this is because a processor bit (tsc_invariant? constant_tsc?) is passed through directly from the hardware via Xen and tested by the hvm guest and the result implies that

Hi all (and Mr. Dunlap in particular), I have a question about the credit (and ultimately credit2) scheduler that I hope you can help me with. I have read the white paper "Scheduler development update" and as much material on the credit scheduler as I can find, but I am still not completely clear on how I should think about the cap. Example scenario: Server hardware: 2

The current Linux scheduler makes one big assumption: that 1ms of CPU time is the same as any other 1ms of CPU time, and that therefore a process makes the same amount of progress regardless of which particular ms of time it gets. This assumption is wrong now, and will become more wrong as virtualization gets more widely used. It's wrong now, because it fails to take into account of several
