Subject: [PATCH v3 20/21] -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- sched/cache/debug: Display the per LLC occupancy for each process via proc fs
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:19:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <09c48847deeb9d2c1c7de1f2799cc128cd2e866e.1770760558.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770760558.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>
Debug patch only.
Show the per-LLC occupancy in /proc/{PID}/schedstat, with each column
corresponding to one LLC. This can be used to verify if the cache-aware
load balancer works as expected by aggregating threads onto dedicated LLCs.
Suppose there are 2 LLCs and the sampling duration is 10 seconds:
Enable the cache aware load balance:
0 12281 <--- LLC0 residency delta is 0, LLC1 is 12 seconds
0 18881
0 16217
disable the cache aware load balance:
6497 15802
9299 5435

Notes:
v2->v3:
Enhance the informational output by printing the task's
preferred LLC. (Aaron Lu)
