Giovanni Gherdovich 1567c3e346 x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance
Implement arch_scale_freq_capacity() for 'modern' x86. This function
is used by the scheduler to correctly account usage in the face of
DVFS.

The present patch addresses Intel processors specifically and has positive
performance and performance-per-watt implications for the schedutil cpufreq
governor, bringing it closer to, if not on-par with, the powersave governor
from the intel_pstate driver/framework.

Large performance gains are obtained when the machine is lightly loaded and
no regression are observed at saturation. The benchmarks with the largest
gains are kernel compilation, tbench (the networking version of dbench) and
shell-intensive workloads.

 | 1. FREQUENCY INVARIANCE: MOTIVATION
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

For example; suppose a CPU has two frequencies: 500 and 1000 Mhz. When
running a task that would consume 1/3rd of a CPU at 1000 MHz, it would
appear to consume 2/3rd (or 66.6%) when running at 500 MHz, giving the
false impression this CPU is almost at capacity, even though it can go
faster [*]. In a nutshell, without frequency scale-invariance tasks look
larger just because the CPU is running slower.

[*] (footnote: this assumes a linear frequency/performance relation; which
everybody knows to be false, but given realities its the best approximation
we can make.)

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 2. PECULIARITIES OF X86
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Accounting for frequency changes in PELT signals requires the computation of
the ratio freq_curr / freq_max. On x86 neither of those terms is readily
available.

2.1 CURRENT FREQUENCY
====================

Since modern x86 has hardware control over the actual frequency we run
at (because amongst other things, Turbo-Mode), we cannot simply use
the frequency as requested through cpufreq.

Instead we use the APERF/MPERF MSRs to compute the effective frequency
over the recent past. Also, because reading MSRs is expensive, don't
do so every time we need the value, but amortize the cost by doing it
every tick.

2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
=================

Obtaining freq_max is also non-trivial because at any time the hardware can
provide a frequency boost to a selected subset of cores if the package has
enough power to spare (eg: Turbo Boost). This means that the maximum frequency
available to a given core changes with time.

The approach taken in this change is to arbitrarily set freq_max to a constant
value at boot. The value chosen is the "4-cores (4C) turbo frequency" on most
microarchitectures, after evaluating the following candidates:

    * 1-core (1C) turbo frequency (the fastest turbo state available)
    * around base frequency (a.k.a. max P-state)
    * something in between, such as 4C turbo

To interpret these options, consider that this is the denominator in
freq_curr/freq_max, and that ratio will be used to scale PELT signals such as
util_avg and load_avg. A large denominator will undershoot (util_avg looks a
bit smaller than it really is), viceversa with a smaller denominator PELT
signals will tend to overshoot. Given that PELT drives frequency selection
in the schedutil governor, we will have:

    freq_max set to     | effect on DVFS
    --------------------+------------------
    1C turbo            | power efficiency (lower freq choices)
    base freq           | performance (higher util_avg, higher freq requests)
    4C turbo            | a bit of both

4C turbo proves to be a good compromise in a number of benchmarks (see below).

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Once an architecture implements a frequency scale-invariant utilization (the
PELT signal util_avg), schedutil switches its frequency selection formula from

    freq_next = 1.25 * freq_curr * util            [non-invariant util signal]

to

    freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * util             [invariant util signal]

where, in the second formula, freq_max is set to the 1C turbo frequency (max
turbo). The advantage of the second formula, whose usage we unlock with this
patch, is that freq_next doesn't depend on the current frequency in an
iterative fashion, but can jump to any frequency in a single update. This
absence of feedback in the formula makes it quicker to react to utilization
changes and more robust against pathological instabilities.

Compare it to the update formula of intel_pstate/powersave:

    freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * Busy%

where again freq_max is 1C turbo and Busy% is the percentage of time not spent
idling (calculated with delta_MPERF / delta_TSC); essentially the same as
invariant schedutil, and largely responsible for intel_pstate/powersave good
reputation. The non-invariant schedutil formula is derived from the invariant
one by approximating util_inv with util_raw * freq_curr / freq_max, but this
has limitations.

Testing shows improved performances due to better frequency selections when
the machine is lightly loaded, and essentially no change in behaviour at
saturation / overutilization.

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

It's been shown that it is possible to create pathological scenarios where a
CPU-bound task cannot reach max utilization, if the normalizing factor
freq_max is fixed to a constant value (see [Lelli-2018]).

If freq_max is set to 4C turbo as we do here, one needs to peg at least 5
cores in a package doing some busywork, and observe that none of those task
will ever reach max util (1024) because they're all running at less than the
4C turbo frequency.

While this concern still applies, we believe the performance benefit of
frequency scale-invariant PELT signals outweights the cost of this limitation.

5.2 SETUP
=========

* The baseline is Linux v5.2 with schedutil (non-invariant) and the intel_pstate
  driver in passive mode.
* The rationale for choosing the various freq_max values to test have been to
  try all the 1-2-3-4C turbo levels (note that 1C and 2C turbo are identical
  on all machines), plus one more value closer to base_freq but still in the
  turbo range (8C turbo for both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA).
* In addition we've run all tests with intel_pstate/powersave for comparison.
* The filesystem is always XFS, the userspace is openSUSE Leap 15.1.
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA is capable of HWP (Hardware-Managed P-States), so the runs
  with active intel_pstate on this machine use that.

This gives, in terms of combinations tested on each machine:

* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA
  * Baseline: Linux v5.2, non-invariant schedutil, intel_pstate passive
  * intel_pstate active + powersave + HWP
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 1C turbo
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 3C turbo
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 4C turbo

* both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA
  * [same as 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA, but no HWP capable]
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 8C turbo
    (which on 48x-HASWELL-NUMA is the same as 12C turbo, or "all cores turbo")

5.3 BENCHMARK RESULTS
=====================

5.3.1 NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
------------------------

Tests that didn't show any measurable difference in performance on any of the
test machines between non-invariant schedutil and our patch are:

* NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) using either MPI or openMP for IPC, any
  computational kernel
* flexible I/O (FIO)
* hackbench (using threads or processes, and using pipes or sockets)

5.3.2 NON-NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
----------------------------

What follow are summary tables where each benchmark result is given a score.

* A tilde (~) means a neutral result, i.e. no difference from baseline.
* Scores are computed with the ratio result_new / result_baseline, so a tilde
  means a score of 1.00.
* The results in the score ratio are the geometric means of results running
  the benchmark with different parameters (eg: for kernbench: using 1, 2, 4,
  ... number of processes; for pgbench: varying the number of clients, and so
  on).
* The first three tables show higher-is-better kind of tests (i.e. measured in
  operations/second), the subsequent three show lower-is-better kind of tests
  (i.e. the workload is fixed and we measure elapsed time, think kernbench).
* "gitsource" is a name we made up for the test consisting in running the
  entire unit tests suite of the Git SCM and measuring how long it takes. We
  take it as a typical example of shell-intensive serialized workload.
* In the "I_PSTATE" column we have the results for intel_pstate/powersave. Other
  columns show invariant schedutil for different values of freq_max. 4C turbo
  is circled as it's the value we've chosen for the final implementation.

                                         +------+

In the table above we see that active intel_pstate is slightly better than our
4C-turbo patch (both in reference to the baseline non-invariant schedutil) on
read-only pgbench and much better on tbench. Both cases are notable in which
it shows that lowering our freq_max (to 8C-turbo and 12C-turbo on
80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA respectively) helps invariant
schedutil to get closer.

If we ignore active intel_pstate and focus on the comparison with baseline
alone, there are several instances of double-digit performance improvement.

dbench is not very remarkable here, unless we notice how poorly active
intel_pstate is performing on 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA: 23% regression versus
non-invariant schedutil. We repeated that run getting consistent results. Out
of scope for the patch at hand, but deserving future investigation. Other than
that, we previously ran this campaign with Linux v5.0 and saw the patch doing
better on dbench a the time. We haven't checked closely and can only speculate
at this point.

On the NUMA boxes kernbench gets 10-15% improvements on average; we'll see in
the detailed tables that the gains concentrate on low process counts (lightly
loaded machines).

The test we call "gitsource" (running the git unit test suite, a long-running
single-threaded shell script) appears rather spectacular in this table (gains
of 30-50% depending on the machine). It is to be noted, however, that
gitsource has no adjustable parameters (such as the number of jobs in
kernbench, which we average over in order to get a single-number summary
score) and is exactly the kind of low-parallelism workload that benefits the
most from this patch. When looking at the detailed tables of kernbench or
tbench4, at low process or client counts one can see similar numbers.

This is one of the cases where the patch still can't surpass active
intel_pstate, not even when freq_max is as low as 12C-turbo. Otherwise, gains are
visible up to 16 clients and the saturated scenario is the same as baseline.

The scores in the summary table from the previous sections are ratios of
geometric means of the results over different clients, as seen in this table.

The patch outperform active intel_pstate (and baseline) by a considerable
margin; the summary table from the previous section says 4C turbo and active
intel_pstate are 0.83 and 0.93 against baseline respectively, so 4C turbo is
0.83/0.93=0.89 against intel_pstate (~10% better on average). There is no
noticeable difference with regard to the value of freq_max.

In this test, which is of interest as representing shell-intensive

intel_pstate/powersave by a whopping 40% margin.

5.3.4 POWER CONSUMPTION, PERFORMANCE-PER-WATT
---------------------------------------------

The following table shows average power consumption in watt for each
benchmark. Data comes from turbostat (package average), which in turn is read
from the RAPL interface on CPUs. We know the patch affects CPU frequencies so
it's reasonable to ignore other power consumers (such as memory or I/O). Also,
we don't have a power meter available in the lab so RAPL is the best we have.

turbostat sampled average power every 10 seconds for the entire duration of
each benchmark. We took all those values and averaged them (i.e. with don't
have detail on a per-parameter granularity, only on whole benchmarks).

A lower power consumption isn't necessarily better, it depends on what is done
with that energy. Here are tables with the ratio of performance-per-watt on
each machine and benchmark. Higher is always better; a tilde (~) means a
neutral ratio (i.e. 1.00).

These results are overall pleasing: in plenty of cases we observe
performance-per-watt improvements. The few regressions (read/write pgbench and
dbench on the Broadwell machine) are of small magnitude. kernbench loses a few
percentage points (it has a 10-15% performance improvement, but apparently the
increase in power consumption is larger than that). tbench4 and gitsource, which
benefit the most from the patch, keep a positive score in this table which is
a welcome surprise; that suggests that in those particular workloads the
non-invariant schedutil (and active intel_pstate, too) makes some rather
suboptimal frequency selections.

| 6. MICROARCH'ES ADDRESSED HERE
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The patch addresses Xeon Core processors that use MSR_PLATFORM_INFO and
MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT to advertise their base frequency and turbo frequencies
respectively. This excludes the recent Xeon Scalable Performance processors
line (Xeon Gold, Platinum etc) whose MSRs have to be parsed differently.

Subsequent patches will address:

* Xeon Scalable Performance processors and Atom Goldmont/Goldmont Plus
* Xeon Phi (Knights Landing, Knights Mill)
* Atom Silvermont

Vincent Guittot 2a4b03ffc6 sched/fair: Prevent unlimited runtime on throttled group
When a running task is moved on a throttled task group and there is no
other task enqueued on the CPU, the task can keep running using 100% CPU
whatever the allocated bandwidth for the group and although its cfs rq is
throttled. Furthermore, the group entity of the cfs_rq and its parents are
not enqueued but only set as curr on their respective cfs_rqs.

We have the following sequence:

sched_move_task
  -dequeue_task: dequeue task and group_entities.
  -put_prev_task: put task and group entities.
  -sched_change_group: move task to new group.
  -enqueue_task: enqueue only task but not group entities because cfs_rq is

  -set_next_task : set task and group_entities as current sched_entity of

Another impact is that the root cfs_rq runnable_load_avg at root rq stays
null because the group_entities are not enqueued. This situation will stay
the same until an "external" event triggers a reschedule. Let trigger it
immediately instead.

Wanpeng Li e938b9c941 sched/nohz: Optimize get_nohz_timer_target()
On a machine, CPU 0 is used for housekeeping, the other 39 CPUs in the
same socket are in nohz_full mode. We can observe huge time burn in the
loop for seaching nearest busy housekeeper cpu by ftrace.

  2)               |                        get_nohz_timer_target() {
  2)   0.240 us    |                          housekeeping_test_cpu();
  2)   0.458 us    |                          housekeeping_test_cpu();

  ...

  2)   0.292 us    |                          housekeeping_test_cpu();
  2)   0.240 us    |                          housekeeping_test_cpu();

  2) + 43.460 us   |                        }

This patch optimizes the searching logic by finding a nearest housekeeper
CPU in the housekeeping cpumask, it can minimize the worst searching time
from ~44us to < 10us in my testing. In addition, the last iterated busy
housekeeper can become a random candidate while current CPU is a better
fallback if it is a housekeeper.

Mel Gorman b396f52326 sched/fair: Allow a small load imbalance between low utilisation SD_NUMA domains
The CPU load balancer balances between different domains to spread load
and strives to have equal balance everywhere. Communicating tasks can
migrate so they are topologically close to each other but these decisions
are independent. On a lightly loaded NUMA machine, two communicating tasks
pulled together at wakeup time can be pushed apart by the load balancer.
In isolation, the load balancer decision is fine but it ignores the tasks
data locality and the wakeup/LB paths continually conflict. NUMA balancing
is also a factor but it also simply conflicts with the load balancer.

This patch allows a fixed degree of imbalance of two tasks to exist
between NUMA domains regardless of utilisation levels. In many cases,
this prevents communicating tasks being pulled apart. It was evaluated
whether the imbalance should be scaled to the domain size. However, no
additional benefit was measured across a range of workloads and machines
and scaling adds the risk that lower domains have to be rebalanced. While
this could change again in the future, such a change should specify the
use case and benefit.

The most obvious impact is on netperf TCP_STREAM -- two simple
communicating tasks with some softirq offload depending on the
transmission rate.

In this case, there was a sizable improvement to performance and
a general reduction in variance. However, this is not univeral.
For most machines, the impact was roughly a 3% performance gain.

 Ops NUMA pages migrated                 4244.00           1.00

Without the patch, only 52.18% of sampled accesses are local.  In an
earlier changelog, 100% of sampled accesses are local and indeed on
most machines, this was still the case. In this specific case, the
local sampled rates was 99.3% but note the "base-page range updates"
and "PTE updates".  The activity with the patch is negligible as were
the number of faults. The small number of pages migrated were related to
shared libraries.  A 2-socket Broadwell showed better results on average
but are not presented for brevity as the performance was similar except
it showed 100% of the sampled NUMA hints were local. The patch holds up
for a 4-socket Haswell, an AMD EPYC and AMD Epyc 2 machine.

For dbench, the impact depends on the filesystem used and the number of
clients. On XFS, there is little difference as the clients typically
communicate with workqueues which have a separate class of scheduler
problem at the moment. For ext4, performance is generally better,
particularly for small numbers of clients as NUMA balancing activity is
negligible with the patch applied.

A more interesting example is the Facebook schbench which uses a
number of messaging threads to communicate with worker threads. In this
configuration, one messaging thread is used per NUMA node and the number of
worker threads is varied. The 50, 75, 90, 95, 99, 99.5 and 99.9 percentiles
for response latency is then reported.

For higher worker threads, the differences become negligible but it's
interesting to note the difference in wakeup latency at low utilisation
and mpstat confirms that activity was almost all on one node until
the number of worker threads increase.

Hackbench generally showed neutral results across a range of machines.
This is different to earlier versions of the patch which allowed imbalances
for higher degrees of utilisation. perf bench pipe showed negligible
differences in overall performance as the differences are very close to
the noise.

An earlier prototype of the patch showed major regressions for NAS C-class
when running with only half of the available CPUs -- 20-30% performance
hits were measured at the time. With this version of the patch, the impact
is negligible with small gains/losses within the noise measured. This is
because the number of threads far exceeds the small imbalance the aptch
cares about. Similarly, there were report of regressions for the autonuma
benchmark against earlier versions but again, normal load balancing now
applies for that workload.

In general, the patch simply seeks to avoid unnecessary cross-node
migrations in the basic case where imbalances are very small.  For low
utilisation communicating workloads, this patch generally behaves better
with less NUMA balancing activity. For high utilisation, there is no
change in behaviour.

Valentin Schneider ccf74128d6 sched/topology: Assert non-NUMA topology masks don't (partially) overlap
topology.c::get_group() relies on the assumption that non-NUMA domains do
not partially overlap. Zeng Tao pointed out in [1] that such topology
descriptions, while completely bogus, can end up being exposed to the
scheduler.

In his example (8 CPUs, 2-node system), we end up with:
  MC span for CPU3 == 3-7
  MC span for CPU4 == 4-7

The first pass through get_group(3, sdd@MC) will result in the following
sched_group list:

  3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
  ^                  /
   `----------------'

And a later pass through get_group(4, sdd@MC) will "corrupt" that to:

  3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
       ^             /
	`-----------'

which will completely break things like 'while (sg != sd->groups)' when
using CPU3's base sched_domain.

There already are some architecture-specific checks in place such as
x86/kernel/smpboot.c::topology.sane(), but this is something we can detect
in the core scheduler, so it seems worthwhile to do so.

Warn and abort the construction of the sched domains if such a broken
topology description is detected. Note that this is somewhat
expensive (O(t.c²), 't' non-NUMA topology levels and 'c' CPUs) and could be
gated under SCHED_DEBUG if deemed necessary.

Testing

Dietmar managed to reproduce this using the following qemu incantation:

Vincent Guittot a4f9a0e51b sched/fair: Remove redundant call to cpufreq_update_util()
With commit

  bef69dd878 ("sched/cpufreq: Move the cfs_rq_util_change() call to cpufreq_update_util()")

update_load_avg() has become the central point for calling cpufreq
(not including the update of blocked load). This change helps to
simplify further the number of calls to cpufreq_update_util() and to
remove last redundant ones. With update_load_avg(), we are now sure
that cpufreq_update_util() will be called after every task attachment
to a cfs_rq and especially after propagating this event down to the
util_avg of the root cfs_rq, which is the level that is used by
cpufreq governors like schedutil to set the frequency of a CPU.

The SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION flag forces an early call to cpufreq when
the migration happens in a cgroup whereas util_avg of root cfs_rq is
not yet updated and this call is duplicated with the one that happens
immediately after when the migration event reaches the root cfs_rq.
The dedicated flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION is now useless and can be
removed. The interface of attach_entity_load_avg() can also be
simplified accordingly.

Peng Liu 4c58f57fa6 sched/fair: Fix sgc->{min,max}_capacity calculation for SD_OVERLAP
commit bf475ce0a3 ("sched/fair: Add per-CPU min capacity to
sched_group_capacity") introduced per-cpu min_capacity.

commit e3d6d0cb66 ("sched/fair: Add sched_group per-CPU max capacity")
introduced per-cpu max_capacity.

In the SD_OVERLAP case, the local variable 'capacity' represents the sum
of CPU capacity of all CPUs in the first sched group (sg) of the sched
domain (sd).

It is erroneously used to calculate sg's min and max CPU capacity.
To fix this use capacity_of(cpu) instead of 'capacity'.

The code which achieves this via cpu_rq(cpu)->sd->groups->sgc->capacity
(for rq->sd != NULL) can be removed since it delivers the same value as
capacity_of(cpu) which is currently only used for the (!rq->sd) case
(see update_cpu_capacity()).
An sg of the lowest sd (rq->sd or sd->child == NULL) represents a single
CPU (and hence sg->sgc->capacity == capacity_of(cpu)).

Wei Li 02d4ac5885 sched/debug: Reset watchdog on all CPUs while processing sysrq-t
Lengthy output of sysrq-t may take a lot of time on slow serial console
with lots of processes and CPUs.

So we need to reset NMI-watchdog to avoid spurious lockup messages, and
we also reset softlockup watchdogs on all other CPUs since another CPU
might be blocked waiting for us to process an IPI or stop_machine.

Add to sysrq_sched_debug_show() as what we did in show_state_filter().

Qais Yousef 7226017ad3 sched/uclamp: Fix a bug in propagating uclamp value in new cgroups
When a new cgroup is created, the effective uclamp value wasn't updated
with a call to cpu_util_update_eff() that looks at the hierarchy and
update to the most restrictive values.

Fix it by ensuring to call cpu_util_update_eff() when a new cgroup
becomes online.

Without this change, the newly created cgroup uses the default
root_task_group uclamp values, which is 1024 for both uclamp_{min, max},
which will cause the rq to to be clamped to max, hence cause the
system to run at max frequency.

The problem was observed on Ubuntu server and was reproduced on Debian
and Buildroot rootfs.

By default, Ubuntu and Debian create a cpu controller cgroup hierarchy
and add all tasks to it - which creates enough noise to keep the rq
uclamp value at max most of the time. Imitating this behavior makes the
problem visible in Buildroot too which otherwise looks fine since it's a
minimal userspace.

Viresh Kumar 323af6deaf sched/fair: Load balance aggressively for SCHED_IDLE CPUs
The fair scheduler performs periodic load balance on every CPU to check
if it can pull some tasks from other busy CPUs. The duration of this
periodic load balance is set to sd->balance_interval for the idle CPUs
and is calculated by multiplying the sd->balance_interval with the
sd->busy_factor (set to 32 by default) for the busy CPUs. The
multiplication is done for busy CPUs to avoid doing load balance too
often and rather spend more time executing actual task. While that is
the right thing to do for the CPUs busy with SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH
tasks, it may not be the optimal thing for CPUs running only SCHED_IDLE
tasks.

With the recent enhancements in the fair scheduler around SCHED_IDLE
CPUs, we now prefer to enqueue a newly-woken task to a SCHED_IDLE
CPU instead of other busy or idle CPUs. The same reasoning should be
applied to the load balancer as well to make it migrate tasks more
aggressively to a SCHED_IDLE CPU, as that will reduce the scheduling
latency of the migrated (SCHED_OTHER) tasks.

This patch makes minimal changes to the fair scheduler to do the next
load balance soon after the last non SCHED_IDLE task is dequeued from a
runqueue, i.e. making the CPU SCHED_IDLE. Also the sd->busy_factor is
ignored while calculating the balance_interval for such CPUs. This is
done to avoid delaying the periodic load balance by few hundred
milliseconds for SCHED_IDLE CPUs.

This is tested on ARM64 Hikey620 platform (octa-core) with the help of
rt-app and it is verified, using kernel traces, that the newly
SCHED_IDLE CPU does load balancing shortly after it becomes SCHED_IDLE
and pulls tasks from other busy CPUs.

Similarly to calculate_imbalance() and find_busiest_group(), using the
number of idle CPUs when there is only 1 CPU in the group is not efficient
because we can't make a difference between a CPU running 1 task and a CPU
running dozens of small tasks competing for the same CPU but not enough
to overload it. More generally speaking, we should use the number of
running tasks when there is the same number of idle CPUs in a group instead
of blindly select the 1st one.

When the groups have spare capacity and the same number of idle CPUs, we
compare the number of running tasks to select the busiest group.

Qais Yousef 804d402fb6 sched/rt: Make RT capacity-aware
Capacity Awareness refers to the fact that on heterogeneous systems
(like Arm big.LITTLE), the capacity of the CPUs is not uniform, hence
when placing tasks we need to be aware of this difference of CPU
capacities.

In such scenarios we want to ensure that the selected CPU has enough
capacity to meet the requirement of the running task. Enough capacity
means here that capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= task.requirement.

The definition of task.requirement is dependent on the scheduling class.

For CFS, utilization is used to select a CPU that has >= capacity value
than the cfs_task.util.

	capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= cfs_task.util

DL isn't capacity aware at the moment but can make use of the bandwidth
reservation to implement that in a similar manner CFS uses utilization.
The following patchset implements that:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190506044836.2914-1-luca.abeni@santannapisa.it/

	capacity_orig_of(cpu)/SCHED_CAPACITY >= dl_deadline/dl_runtime

For RT we don't have a per task utilization signal and we lack any
information in general about what performance requirement the RT task
needs. But with the introduction of uclamp, RT tasks can now control
that by setting uclamp_min to guarantee a minimum performance point.

ATM the uclamp value are only used for frequency selection; but on
heterogeneous systems this is not enough and we need to ensure that the
capacity of the CPU is >= uclamp_min. Which is what implemented here.

	capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= rt_task.uclamp_min

Note that by default uclamp.min is 1024, which means that RT tasks will
always be biased towards the big CPUs, which make for a better more
predictable behavior for the default case.

Must stress that the bias acts as a hint rather than a definite
placement strategy. For example, if all big cores are busy executing
other RT tasks we can't guarantee that a new RT task will be placed
there.

On non-heterogeneous systems the original behavior of RT should be
retained. Similarly if uclamp is not selected in the config.

Valentin Schneider 1d42509e47 sched/fair: Make EAS wakeup placement consider uclamp restrictions
task_fits_capacity() has just been made uclamp-aware, and
find_energy_efficient_cpu() needs to go through the same treatment.

Things are somewhat different here however - using the task max clamp isn't
sufficient. Consider the following setup:

  The target runqueue, rq:
    rq.cpu_capacity_orig = 512
    rq.cfs.avg.util_avg = 200
    rq.uclamp.max = 768 // the max p.uclamp.max of all enqueued p's is 768

  The waking task, p (not yet enqueued on rq):
    p.util_est = 600
    p.uclamp.max = 100

Now, consider the following code which doesn't use the rq clamps:

  util = uclamp_task_util(p);
  // Does the task fit in the spare CPU capacity?
  cpu = cpu_of(rq);
  fits_capacity(util, cpu_capacity(cpu) - cpu_util(cpu))

This would lead to:

  util = 100;
  fits_capacity(100, 512 - 200)

fits_capacity() would return true. However, enqueuing p on that CPU *will*
cause it to become overutilized since rq clamp values are max-aggregated,
so we'd remain with

  rq.uclamp.max = 768

which comes from the other tasks already enqueued on rq. Thus, we could
select a high enough frequency to reach beyond 0.8 * 512 utilization
(== overutilized) after enqueuing p on rq. What find_energy_efficient_cpu()
needs here is uclamp_rq_util_with() which lets us peek at the future
utilization landscape, including rq-wide uclamp values.

Make find_energy_efficient_cpu() use uclamp_rq_util_with() for its
fits_capacity() check. This is in line with what compute_energy() ends up
using for estimating utilization.

Valentin Schneider a7008c07a5 sched/fair: Make task_fits_capacity() consider uclamp restrictions
task_fits_capacity() drives CPU selection at wakeup time, and is also used
to detect misfit tasks. Right now it does so by comparing task_util_est()
with a CPU's capacity, but doesn't take into account uclamp restrictions.

There's a few interesting uses that can come out of doing this. For
instance, a low uclamp.max value could prevent certain tasks from being
flagged as misfit tasks, so they could merrily remain on low-capacity CPUs.
Similarly, a high uclamp.min value would steer tasks towards high capacity
CPUs at wakeup (and, should that fail, later steered via misfit balancing),
so such "boosted" tasks would favor CPUs of higher capacity.

Introduce uclamp_task_util() and make task_fits_capacity() use it.

Viresh Kumar 17346452b2 sched/fair: Make sched-idle CPU selection consistent throughout
There are instances where we keep searching for an idle CPU despite
already having a sched-idle CPU (in find_idlest_group_cpu(),
select_idle_smt() and select_idle_cpu() and then there are places where
we don't necessarily do that and return a sched-idle CPU as soon as we
find one (in select_idle_sibling()). This looks a bit inconsistent and
it may be worth having the same policy everywhere.

On the other hand, choosing a sched-idle CPU over a idle one shall be
beneficial from performance and power point of view as well, as we don't
need to get the CPU online from a deep idle state which wastes quite a
lot of time and energy and delays the scheduling of the newly woken up
task.

This patch tries to simplify code around sched-idle CPU selection and
make it consistent throughout.

Testing is done with the help of rt-app on hikey board (ARM64 octa-core,
2 clusters, 0-3 and 4-7). The cpufreq governor was set to performance to
avoid any side affects from CPU frequency. Following are the tests
performed:

Test 1: 1-cfs-task:

 A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned to CPU5 which runs for 2333 us
 out of 7777 us (so gives time for the cluster to go in deep idle
 state).

Test 2: 1-cfs-1-idle-task:

 A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and single SCHED_IDLE
 task is pinned on CPU6 (to make sure cluster 1 doesn't go in deep idle
 state).

Test 3: 1-cfs-8-idle-task:

 A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and eight SCHED_IDLE
 tasks are created which run forever (not pinned anywhere, so they run
 on all CPUs). Checked with kernelshark that as soon as NORMAL task
 sleeps, the SCHED_IDLE task starts running on CPU5.

And here are the results on mean latency (in us), using the "st" tool.

  $ st 1-cfs-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
  N       min     max     sum     mean    stddev
  642     90      592     197180  307.134 109.906

  $ st 1-cfs-1-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
  N       min     max     sum     mean    stddev
  642     67      311     113850  177.336 41.4251

  $ st 1-cfs-8-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
  N       min     max     sum     mean    stddev
  643     29      173     41364   64.3297 13.2344

The mean latency when we need to:

 - wakeup from deep idle state is 307 us.
 - wakeup from shallow idle state is 177 us.
 - preempt a SCHED_IDLE task is 64 us.

calculating it is pointless.

If we count the times when @load equals zero and not as below:

		load_is_not_zero_count++;
		contrib = __accumulate_pelt_segments(periods,

Cheng Jian 60588bfa22 sched/fair: Optimize select_idle_cpu
select_idle_cpu() will scan the LLC domain for idle CPUs,
it's always expensive. so the next commit :

	1ad3aaf3fc ("sched/core: Implement new approach to scale select_idle_cpu()")

introduces a way to limit how many CPUs we scan.

But it consume some CPUs out of 'nr' that are not allowed
for the task and thus waste our attempts. The function
always return nr_cpumask_bits, and we can't find a CPU
which our task is allowed to run.

Cpumask may be too big, similar to select_idle_core(), use
per_cpu_ptr 'select_idle_mask' to prevent stack overflow.

Vincent Guittot 6cf82d559e sched/cfs: fix spurious active migration
The load balance can fail to find a suitable task during the periodic check
because  the imbalance is smaller than half of the load of the waiting
tasks. This results in the increase of the number of failed load balance,
which can end up to start an active migration. This active migration is
useless because the current running task is not a better choice than the
waiting ones. In fact, the current task was probably not running but
waiting for the CPU during one of the previous attempts and it had already
not been selected.

When load balance fails too many times to migrate a task, we should relax
the contraint on the maximum load of the tasks that can be migrated
similarly to what is done with cache hotness.

Before the rework, load balance used to set the imbalance to the average
load_per_task in order to mitigate such situation. This increased the
likelihood of migrating a task but also of selecting a larger task than
needed while more appropriate ones were in the list.

The crashing instruction is trying to divide the observed stall time
by the sampling period. The period, stored in R8, is not 0, but we are
dividing by the lower 32 bits only, which are all 0 in this instance.

We could switch to a 64-bit division, but the period shouldn't be that
big in the first place. It's the time between the last update and the
next scheduled one, and so should always be around 2s and comfortably
fit into 32 bits.

The bug is in the initialization of new cgroups: we schedule the first
sampling event in a cgroup as an offset of sched_clock(), but fail to
initialize the last_update timestamp, and it defaults to 0. That
results in a bogusly large sampling period the first time we run the
sampling code, and consequently we underreport pressure for the first
2s of a cgroup's life. But worse, if sched_clock() is sufficiently
advanced on the system, and the user gets unlucky, the period's lower
32 bits can all be 0 and the sampling division will crash.

Fix this by initializing the last update timestamp to the creation
time of the cgroup, thus correctly marking the start of the first
pressure sampling period in a new cgroup.

Rafael J. Wysocki 85572c2c4a cpufreq: Avoid leaving stale IRQ work items during CPU offline
The scheduler code calling cpufreq_update_util() may run during CPU
offline on the target CPU after the IRQ work lists have been flushed
for it, so the target CPU should be prevented from running code that
may queue up an IRQ work item on it at that point.

Unfortunately, that may not be the case if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu
is set for at least one cpufreq policy in the system, because that
allows the CPU going offline to run the utilization update callback
of the cpufreq governor on behalf of another (online) CPU in some
cases.

If that happens, the cpufreq governor callback may queue up an IRQ
work on the CPU running it, which is going offline, and the IRQ work
may not be flushed after that point.  Moreover, that IRQ work cannot
be flushed until the "offlining" CPU goes back online, so if any
other CPU calls irq_work_sync() to wait for the completion of that
IRQ work, it will have to wait until the "offlining" CPU is back
online and that may not happen forever.  In particular, a system-wide
deadlock may occur during CPU online as a result of that.

The failing scenario is as follows.  CPU0 is the boot CPU, so it
creates a cpufreq policy and becomes the "leader" of it
(policy->cpu).  It cannot go offline, because it is the boot CPU.
Next, other CPUs join the cpufreq policy as they go online and they
leave it when they go offline.  The last CPU to go offline, say CPU3,
may queue up an IRQ work while running the governor callback on
behalf of CPU0 after leaving the cpufreq policy because of the
dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu effect described above.  Then, CPU0 is
the only online CPU in the system and the stale IRQ work is still
queued on CPU3.  When, say, CPU1 goes back online, it will run
irq_work_sync() to wait for that IRQ work to complete and so it
will wait for CPU3 to go back online (which may never happen even
in principle), but (worse yet) CPU0 is waiting for CPU1 at that
point too and a system-wide deadlock occurs.

To address this problem notice that CPUs which cannot run cpufreq
utilization update code for themselves (for example, because they
have left the cpufreq policies that they belonged to), should also
be prevented from running that code on behalf of the other CPUs that
belong to a cpufreq policy with dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu set and so
in that case the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer of the CPU running
the code must not be NULL as well as for the CPU which is the target
of the cpufreq utilization update in progress.

Accordingly, change cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() into a regular
function in kernel/sched/cpufreq.c (instead of a static inline in a
header file) and make it check the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer
of the local CPU if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu is set for the target
cpufreq policy.

Also update the schedutil governor to do the
cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() check in the non-fast-switch
case too to avoid the stale IRQ work issues.

Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
 "This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
  notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
  changes:

   - It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
     this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:

   - Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
     woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
     spinlock.

   - Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
     head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
     means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
     two.

   - A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
     the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
     indices.

   - The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
     many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
     allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
     pipe.

   - Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
     and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll
     without having to take the lock twice.

   - Rearrange pipe_write() to preallocate the buffer it is going to
     write into and then drop the spinlock. This allows kernel
     notifications to then be added the ring whilst it is filling the
     buffer it allocated. The read side is stalled because the pipe
     mutex is still held.

   - Don't wake up readers on a pipe if there was already data in it
     when we added more.

   - Don't wake up writers on a pipe if the ring wasn't full before we
     removed a buffer"

Zhenzhong Duan c5105d764e sched/clock: Use static_branch_likely() with sched_clock_running
sched_clock_running is enabled early at bootup stage and never
disabled. So hint that to the compiler by using static_branch_likely()
rather than static_branch_unlikely().

The branch probability mis-annotation was introduced in the original
commit that converted the plain sched_clock_running flag to a static key:

  46457ea464 ("sched/clock: Use static key for sched_clock_running")

Steve further notes:

  | Looks like the confusion was the moving of the "!":
  |
  | -       if (unlikely(!sched_clock_running))
  | +       if (!static_branch_unlikely(&sched_clock_running))
  |
  | Where, it was unlikely that !sched_clock_running would be true, but
  | because the "!" was moved outside the "unlikely()" it makes the test
  | "likely()". That is, if we added an intermediate step, it would have
  | been:
  |
  |         if (!likely(sched_clock_running))
  |
  | which would have prevented the mistake that this patch fixes.

 "These include cpuidle changes to use nanoseconds (instead of
  microseconds) as the unit of time and to simplify checks for disabled
  idle states in the idle loop, some cpuidle fixes and governor updates,
  assorted cpufreq updates (driver updates mostly and a few core fixes

  changes), new CPU IDs for the RAPL power capping driver, relatively
  minor updates of the generic power domains (genpd) and operation
  performance points (OPP) frameworks, and assorted fixes and cleanups.

 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Make kcpustat vtime aware (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Rework the CFS load_balance() logic (Vincent Guittot)

   - Misc cleanups, smaller enhancements, fixes.

  The load-balancing rework is the most intrusive change: it replaces
  the old heuristics that have become less meaningful after the
  introduction of the PELT metrics, with a grounds-up load-balancing
  algorithm.

  As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old
  load-balancing logic with the new one. We hope there are no
  performance regressions left - but statistically it's highly probable
  that there *is* going to be some workload that is hurting from these
  chnages. If so then we'd prefer to have a look at that workload and
  fix its scheduling, instead of reverting the changes"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A lot of stuff has been going on this cycle, with improving the
  support for networked IO (and hence unbounded request completion
  times) being one of the major themes. There's been a set of fixes done
  this week, I'll send those out as well once we're certain we're fully
  happy with them.

  This contains:

   - Unification of the "normal" submit path and the SQPOLL path (Pavel)

   - Support for sparse (and bigger) file sets, and updating of those
     file sets without needing to unregister/register again.

   - Independently sized CQ ring, instead of just making it always 2x
     the SQ ring size. This makes it more flexible for networked
     applications.

   - Support for overflowed CQ ring, never dropping events but providing
     backpressure on submits.

   - Add support for absolute timeouts, not just relative ones.

   - Support for generic cancellations. This divorces io_uring from
     workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
     generic async system call support.

   - With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
     as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
     calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
     built on top of that.

   - Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)

   - Support for linked timeouts. These abort an operation if it isn't
     completed by the time noted in the linke timeout.

   - Speedup tracking of poll requests

   - Various cleanups making the coder easier to follow (Jackie, Pavel,
     Bob, YueHaibing, me)

   - Update MAINTAINERS with new io_uring list"

Frederic Weisbecker 74722bb223 sched/vtime: Bring up complete kcpustat accessor
Many callsites want to fetch the values of system, user, user_nice, guest
or guest_nice kcpustat fields altogether or at least a pair of these.

In that case calling kcpustat_field() for each requested field brings
unecessary overhead when we could fetch all of them in a row.

So provide kcpustat_cpu_fetch() that fetches the whole kcpustat array
in a vtime safe way under the same RCU and seqcount block.
