Subject: [Patch v4 21/22] -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- sched/cache/debug: Display the per LLC occupancy for each process via proc fs
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 14:52:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <93fde0f38f6cb5a780b404ea59b76db47481a93a.1775065312.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775065312.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, LLC0 residency delta is 0,
LLC1 is 12 seconds:
0 12281
disable the cache aware load balance, tasks are spread to 2
LLCs:
9299 5435
Note: The race condition is not properly dealt with in this patch;
out-of-bounds access may be triggered during CPU hotplug due to
max_llcs changes. Do not query per-LLC occupancy during CPU hotplug.
