[PATCH v4 1/1] powerpc: enable dynamic preemption
From: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
Date: 2025-02-10 18:44:51
Also in:

Subsystem:
linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers:
Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds
Once the lazy preemption is supported, it would be desirable to change
the preemption models at runtime. So add support for dynamic preemption
using DYNAMIC_KEY.
::Tested lightly on Power10 LPAR
Performance numbers indicate that, preempt=none(no dynamic) and
preempt=none(dynamic) are close.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/preempt
(none) voluntary full lazy
perf stat -e probe:__cond_resched -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
1,253 probe:__cond_resched
echo full > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/preempt
cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/preempt
none voluntary (full) lazy
perf stat -e probe:__cond_resched -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
0 probe:__cond_resched
