Android中关于cpu/cpuset/schedtune的应用

Android中关于cpu/cpuset/schedtune的应用都是基于进程优先级的，根据不同优先级划分进程类型。AMS(ActivityManagerService)和PMS(PackageManagerService)等通过class Process设置进程优先级、调度策略等；android/osProcess JNI通过调用libcutils.so/libutils.so执行getpriority/setpriority/sched_setscheduler/sched_getschedler系统调用或者直接操作CGroup文件节点以达到设置优先级，限制进程CPU资源的目的。

根据优先级，通过设置CGroup的cpu/cpuset/stune控制进程获得CPU执行时间、可调度CPU范围等，以达到对不同优先级进程的控制。

Android关于cpu/cpuset/schedtune的框架结构

进程优先级和调度策略从上到下贯穿其中，但是在不同的层级的名称有一些变化。下面逐一介绍。

class Process以及android/os/Process JNI

frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Process.java

其他服务通过class Process来设置进程优先级、调度侧率等。

class Process中优先级划分：

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_DEFAULT = 0;  应用的默认优先级

/*
* ***************************************
* ** Keep in sync with utils/threads.h **
* ***************************************
*/

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST = 19;  线程的最低优先级

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND = 10;  后台线程的默认优先级

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND = -2;  前台进程的标准优先级

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_DISPLAY = -4;  系统用于显示功能的优先级

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY = -8;  系统用于重要显示功能的优先级

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_AUDIO = -16;  音频线程默认优先级

public static final int THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_AUDIO = -19;  重要音频线程默认优先级

调度策略划分：

public static final int SCHED_OTHER = 0; 默认调度策略，对应CFS调度类

public static final int SCHED_FIFO = 1;  FIFO调度策略，对应RT调度类

public static final int SCHED_RR = 2;  RR调度策略，对应RT调度类

public static final int SCHED_BATCH = 3;  批调度策略，对应CFS调度类

public static final int SCHED_IDLE = 5;  idle调度策略

class Process相关API，主要用于：

  

public static final native void setThreadPriority(int tid, int priority)
        throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException;

public static final native void setThreadScheduler(int tid, int policy, int priority)
        throws IllegalArgumentException;

public static final native void setThreadPriority(int tid, int priority)
        throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException;

public static final native int getThreadPriority(int tid)
        throws IllegalArgumentException;

public static final native int getThreadScheduler(int tid)
        throws IllegalArgumentException;

public static final native void setThreadGroup(int tid, int group)
        throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException;

public static final native void setProcessGroup(int pid, int group)
        throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException;

frameworks/base/core/jni/android_util_Process.cpp

对应JNINativeMethod如下：

static const JNINativeMethod methods[] = {
…
    {"setThreadPriority",   "(II)V", (void*)android_os_Process_setThreadPriority},
    {"setThreadScheduler",  "(III)V", (void*)android_os_Process_setThreadScheduler},
    {"setCanSelfBackground", "(Z)V", (void*)android_os_Process_setCanSelfBackground},
    {"setThreadPriority",   "(I)V", (void*)android_os_Process_setCallingThreadPriority},
    {"getThreadPriority",   "(I)I", (void*)android_os_Process_getThreadPriority},
    {"getThreadScheduler",   "(I)I", (void*)android_os_Process_getThreadScheduler},
    {"setThreadGroup",      "(II)V", (void*)android_os_Process_setThreadGroup},
    {"setProcessGroup",     "(II)V", (void*)android_os_Process_setProcessGroup},
    {"getProcessGroup",     "(I)I", (void*)android_os_Process_getProcessGroup},
…
};

scheduler相关API直接调用sched_setscheduler/sched_getscheduler。

libcutils.so/libutils.so

在介绍这个函数之前先介绍一下此处所使用的优先级定义，可以看出和class Process中是完全的对应关系：

ANDROID_PRIORITY_LOWEST         =  19,

/* use for background tasks */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND     =  10,

/* most threads run at normal priority */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_NORMAL         =   0,

/* threads currently running a UI that the user is interacting with */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND     =  -2,

/* the main UI thread has a slightly more favorable priority */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_DISPLAY        =  -4,

/* ui service treads might want to run at a urgent display (uncommon) */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY =  HAL_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY,

/* all normal audio threads */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_AUDIO          = -16,

/* service audio threads (uncommon) */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_URGENT_AUDIO   = -19,

/* should never be used in practice. regular process might not
* be allowed to use this level */
ANDROID_PRIORITY_HIGHEST        = -20,

ANDROID_PRIORITY_DEFAULT        = ANDROID_PRIORITY_NORMAL,

还需要在研究一下，Sched Policy中使用的优先级映射关系：

/* Keep in sync with THREAD_GROUP_* in frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Process.java */
typedef enum {
    SP_DEFAULT    = -1,
    SP_BACKGROUND = 0,
    SP_FOREGROUND = 1,
    SP_SYSTEM     = 2,  // can't be used with set_sched_policy()
    SP_AUDIO_APP  = 3,
    SP_AUDIO_SYS  = 4,
    SP_TOP_APP    = 5,
    SP_CNT,
    SP_MAX        = SP_CNT - 1,
    SP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT = SP_FOREGROUND,
} SchedPolicy;

Threads.cpp中定义了androidSetThreadPriority用于设置线程的优先级。

int androidSetThreadPriority(pid_t tid, int pri)
{
    int rc = 0;
    int lasterr = 0;

    if (pri >= ANDROID_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND) {  如果priority大于等于BACKGROUND，则设置为BACKGROUND类型的调度策略。
        rc = set_sched_policy(tid, SP_BACKGROUND);
    } else if (getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, tid) >= ANDROID_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND) {  如果priority小于BACKGROUND，且当线程为BACKGROUND类型，则设置为FOREGROUND类型。
        rc = set_sched_policy(tid, SP_FOREGROUND);
    }

    if (rc) {
        lasterr = errno;
    }

    if (setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, tid, pri) < 0) {  设置优先级
        rc = INVALID_OPERATION;
    } else {
        errno = lasterr;
    }

    return rc;
}

set_cpuset_policy根据SchedPolicy类型将tid写入cpuset和schedtune子系统中。

有下面的函数可以得出cpuset、schedtune和不同类型SchedPolicy之间的对应关系：

/dev/cpuset/foreground/tasks  SP_FOREGROUND SP_AUDIO_APP SP_AUDIO_SYS
/dev/cpuset/background/tasks  SP_BACKGROUND
/dev/cpuset/system-background/tasks  SP_SYSTEM
/dev/cpuset/top-app/tasks  SP_TOP_APP

/dev/stune/top-app/tasks  SP_TOP_APP
/dev/stune/foreground/tasks  SP_FOREGROUND SP_AUDIO_APP SP_AUDIO_SYS
/dev/stune/background/tasks  SP_BACKGROUND

int set_cpuset_policy(int tid, SchedPolicy policy)
{
    // in the absence of cpusets, use the old sched policy
#ifndef USE_CPUSETS
    return set_sched_policy(tid, policy);
#else
    if (tid == 0) {
        tid = gettid();
    }
    policy = _policy(policy);
    pthread_once(&the_once, __initialize);

    int fd = -1;
    int boost_fd = -1;
    switch (policy) {
    case SP_BACKGROUND:
        fd = bg_cpuset_fd;
        boost_fd = bg_schedboost_fd;
        break;
    case SP_FOREGROUND:
    case SP_AUDIO_APP:
    case SP_AUDIO_SYS:
        fd = fg_cpuset_fd;
        boost_fd = fg_schedboost_fd;
        break;
    case SP_TOP_APP :
        fd = ta_cpuset_fd;
        boost_fd = ta_schedboost_fd;
        break;
    case SP_SYSTEM:
        fd = system_bg_cpuset_fd;
        break;
    default:
        boost_fd = fd = -1;
        break;
    }

    if (add_tid_to_cgroup(tid, fd) != 0) {
        if (errno != ESRCH && errno != ENOENT)
            return -errno;
    }

#ifdef USE_SCHEDBOOST
    if (boost_fd > 0 && add_tid_to_cgroup(tid, boost_fd) != 0) {
        if (errno != ESRCH && errno != ENOENT)
            return -errno;
    }
#endif

    return 0;
#endif
}

set_sched_policy设置cpu/schedtune两个子系统，子系统节点和SchedPolicy类型对应如下：

/dev/cpuctl/tasks  SP_FOREGROUND SP_AUDIO_APP SP_AUDIO_SYS
/dev/cpuctl/bg_non_interactive/tasks  SP_BACKGROUND

/dev/stune/top-app/tasks  SP_TOP_APP
/dev/stune/foreground/tasks  SP_FOREGROUND SP_AUDIO_APP SP_AUDIO_SYS
/dev/stune/background/tasks  SP_BACKGROUND

int set_sched_policy(int tid, SchedPolicy policy)
{
    if (tid == 0) {
        tid = gettid();
    }
    policy = _policy(policy);
    pthread_once(&the_once, __initialize);

#if POLICY_DEBUG
    char statfile[64];
    char statline[1024];
    char thread_name[255];

    snprintf(statfile, sizeof(statfile), "/proc/%d/stat", tid);
    memset(thread_name, 0, sizeof(thread_name));

    int fd = open(statfile, O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
    if (fd >= 0) {
        int rc = read(fd, statline, 1023);
        close(fd);
        statline[rc] = 0;
        char *p = statline;
        char *q;

        for (p = statline; *p != '('; p++);
        p++;
        for (q = p; *q != ')'; q++);

        strncpy(thread_name, p, (q-p));
    }
    switch (policy) {
    case SP_BACKGROUND:
        SLOGD("vvv tid %d (%s)", tid, thread_name);
        break;
    case SP_FOREGROUND:
    case SP_AUDIO_APP:
    case SP_AUDIO_SYS:
    case SP_TOP_APP:
        SLOGD("^^^ tid %d (%s)", tid, thread_name);
        break;
    case SP_SYSTEM:
        SLOGD("/// tid %d (%s)", tid, thread_name);
        break;
    default:
        SLOGD("??? tid %d (%s)", tid, thread_name);
        break;
    }
#endif

    if (__sys_supports_schedgroups) {  是否使能schedtune CGroup
        int fd = -1;
        int boost_fd = -1;
        switch (policy) {
        case SP_BACKGROUND:
            fd = bg_cgroup_fd;
            boost_fd = bg_schedboost_fd;
            break;
        case SP_FOREGROUND:
        case SP_AUDIO_APP:
        case SP_AUDIO_SYS:
            fd = fg_cgroup_fd;
            boost_fd = fg_schedboost_fd;
            break;
        case SP_TOP_APP:
            fd = fg_cgroup_fd;
            boost_fd = ta_schedboost_fd;
            break;
        default:
            fd = -1;
            boost_fd = -1;
            break;
        }

        if (add_tid_to_cgroup(tid, fd) != 0) {
    
      if (errno != ESRCH && errno != ENOENT)
                return -errno;
        }

#ifdef USE_SCHEDBOOST
        if (boost_fd > 0 && add_tid_to_cgroup(tid, boost_fd) != 0) {
            if (errno != ESRCH && errno != ENOENT)
                return -errno;
        }
#endif
    } else {  如果没有使能schedtune CGroup，则使用系统调用sched_setscheduler设置为SCHED_BATCH或者SCHED_NORMAL
        struct sched_param param;

        param.sched_priority = 0;
        sched_setscheduler(tid,
                           (policy == SP_BACKGROUND) ?
                           SCHED_BATCH : SCHED_NORMAL,
                           &param);
    }

    if (__sys_supports_timerslack) {
        set_timerslack_ns(tid, policy == SP_BACKGROUND ?
                               TIMER_SLACK_BG : TIMER_SLACK_FG);
    }

    return 0;
}

 

上面的一系列转换可以用下图表示：

system\core\libcutils\Sched_policy.c中，对SP_*系列SchedPolicy转换成使用不同cpuctl、cpuset、stune句柄，将对应的pid、tid写入tasks中。
SP_BACKGROUND对应SCHED_BACH调度策略，其他对应SCHED_NORMAL。
SCHED_NORMAL：默认的调度策略，在旧版中为SCHED_OTHER。SCHED_BATCH：针对批处理进程。SCHED_IDLE：使用此调度侧率的进程优先级最低。
SCHED_NORMAL和SCHED_BATCH区别只是再唤醒时有区别，唤醒较频繁的进程不适合SCHED_BATCH。
如果使能__sys_supports_schedgroups，就不会调用sched_setscheduler去设置SchedulePolicy。

SCHED_NORMAL和SCHED_BACH区别

SP_BACKGROUND对应SCHED_BACH调度策略，其他对应SCHED_NORMAL。

SCHED_NORMAL：默认的调度策略，在旧版中为SCHED_OTHER。SCHED_BATCH：针对批处理进程。SCHED_IDLE：使用此调度侧率的进程优先级最低。

SCHED_NORMAL和SCHED_BATCH区别只是再唤醒时有区别，唤醒较频繁的进程不适合SCHED_BATCH。

如果使能__sys_supports_schedgroups，就不会调用sched_setscheduler去设置SchedulePolicy。
