sched: Make migrate_{en,dis}able() inline
For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry): 54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k] bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry 10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable 10.07% bpf_trampoline_6442517037 [k] bpf_trampoline_6442517037 8.06% [kernel] [k] __bpf_prog_exit_recur 4.11% libc.so.6 [.] syscall 2.15% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64 1.48% [kernel] [k] memchr_inv 1.32% [kernel] [k] fput 1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user 0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline. Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1], so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with "(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned". The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c. Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in ___migrate_enable(). The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr(): typeof((ptr) + 0) So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with arch_raw_cpu_ptr/PERCPU_PTR directly. The variable "runqueues" is not visible in the kernel modules, and export it is not a good idea. As Peter Zijlstra advised in [2], we define and export migrate_enable/migrate_disable in kernel/sched/core.c too, and use them for the modules. Before this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY is: fentry : 113.030 ± 0.149M/s fentry : 112.501 ± 0.187M/s fentry : 112.828 ± 0.267M/s fentry : 115.287 ± 0.241M/s After this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY increases to: fentry : 143.644 ± 0.670M/s fentry : 149.764 ± 0.362M/s fentry : 149.642 ± 0.156M/s fentry : 145.263 ± 0.221M/s Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAADnVQ+5sEDKHdsJY5ZsfGDO_1SEhhQWHrt2SMBG5SYyQ+jt7w@mail.gmail.com/ [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250819123214.GH4067720@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/ [2]
