Srikar Dronamraju 1e8a2bfed0 powerpc/vcpu: Assume dedicated processors as non-preempt
commit 14c73bd344da60abaf7da3ea2e7733ddda35bbac upstream.

With commit 247f2f6f3c ("sched/core: Don't schedule threads on
pre-empted vCPUs"), the scheduler avoids preempted vCPUs to schedule
tasks on wakeup. This leads to wrong choice of CPU, which in-turn
leads to larger wakeup latencies. Eventually, it leads to performance
regression in latency sensitive benchmarks like soltp, schbench etc.

On Powerpc, vcpu_is_preempted() only looks at yield_count. If the
yield_count is odd, the vCPU is assumed to be preempted. However
yield_count is increased whenever the LPAR enters CEDE state (idle).
So any CPU that has entered CEDE state is assumed to be preempted.

Even if vCPU of dedicated LPAR is preempted/donated, it should have
right of first-use since they are supposed to own the vCPU.

On a Power9 System with 32 cores:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
