From: "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com>
To: LKML <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
Subject: Improve hackbench
Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>, Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>

hackbench tests the Linux scheduler. The original program is at 
http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c
Based on this multi-process version, a nice person created a multi-thread
version. Pls. see
http://www.bullopensource.org/posix/pi-futex/hackbench_pth.c

When I integrated them into my automation testing system, I found
a couple of issues and did some improvements.

1) Merge hackbench: I integrated hackbench_pth.c into hackbench and added a
new parameter which can be used to choose process mode or thread mode. The
default mode is process.

2) It runs too fast and ends in a couple of seconds. Sometimes it's too hard to debug
the issues. On my ia64 Montecito machines, the result looks weird when comparing
process mode and thread mode.
I want a stable result and hope the testing could run for a stable longer time, so I
might use performance tools to debug issues.
I added another new parameter,`loops`, which can be used to change variable loops,
so more messages will be passed from writers to receivers. Parameter 'loops' is equal to
100 by default.

For example on my 8-core x86_64:
[ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ uname -a
Linux lkp-st01-x8664 2.6.24-rc6 #1 SMP Fri Dec 21 08:32:31 CST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ ./hackbench 
Usage: hackbench [-pipe] <num groups> [process|thread] [loops]
[ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ ./hackbench 150 process 1000
Time: 151.533
[ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ ./hackbench 150 thread 1000
Time: 153.666


With the same new parameters, I did captured the SLUB issue discussed on LKML recently.

3) hackbench_pth.c will fail on ia64 machine because pthread_attr_setstacksize always
fails if the stack size is less than 196*1024. I moved this statement within a __ia64__ check.


This new program could be compiled with command line:
#gcc -g -Wall  -o hackbench hackbench.c -lpthread


Thank Ingo for his great comments!
