[ Upstream commit be3a51e68f2f1b17250ce40d8872c7645b7a2991 ]
root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.
Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.
With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.
6.8-rc4:
7.18% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair
6.78% s [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
+patch:
0.14% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair
0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to
be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.
