During our testing, we found a case that shares no longer
working correctly, the cgroup topology is like:
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A (shares=102400)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B (shares=2)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B/C (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E/F (shares=1024)
The same benchmark is running in group C & F, no other tasks are
running, the benchmark is capable to consumed all the CPUs.
We suppose the group C will win more CPU resources since it could
enjoy all the shares of group A, but it's F who wins much more.
The reason is because we have group B with shares as 2, since
A->cfs_rq.load.weight == B->se.load.weight == B->shares/nr_cpus,
so A->cfs_rq.load.weight become very small.
And in calc_group_shares() we calculate shares as:
load = max(scale_load_down(cfs_rq->load.weight), cfs_rq->avg.load_avg);
shares = (tg_shares * load) / tg_weight;
Since the 'cfs_rq->load.weight' is too small, the load become 0
after scale down, although 'tg_shares' is 102400, shares of the se
which stand for group A on root cfs_rq become 2.
While the se of D on root cfs_rq is far more bigger than 2, so it
wins the battle.
Thus when scale_load_down() scale real weight down to 0, it's no
longer telling the real story, the caller will have the wrong
information and the calculation will be buggy.
This patch add check in scale_load_down(), so the real weight will
be >= MIN_SHARES after scale, after applied the group C wins as
expected.

The task->flags is a 32-bits flag, in which 31 bits have already been
consumed. So it is hardly to introduce other new per process flag.
Currently there're still enough spaces in the bit-field section of
task_struct, so we can define the memstall state as a single bit in
task_struct instead.
This patch also removes an out-of-date comment pointed by Matthew.

When switching tasks running on a CPU, the psi state of a cgroup
containing both of these tasks does not change. Right now, we don't
exploit that, and can perform many unnecessary state changes in nested
hierarchies, especially when most activity comes from one leaf cgroup.
This patch implements an optimization where we only update cgroups
whose state actually changes during a task switch. These are all
cgroups that contain one task but not the other, up to the first
shared ancestor. When both tasks are in the same group, we don't need
to update anything at all.
We can identify the first shared ancestor by walking the groups of the
incoming task until we see TSK_ONCPU set on the local CPU; that's the
first group that also contains the outgoing task.
The new psi_task_switch() is similar to psi_task_change(). To allow
code reuse, move the task flag maintenance code into a new function
and the poll/avg worker wakeups into the shared psi_group_change().

For simplicity, cpu pressure is defined as having more than one
runnable task on a given CPU. This works on the system-level, but it
has limitations in a cgrouped reality: When cpu.max is in use, it
doesn't capture the time in which a task is not executing on the CPU
due to throttling. Likewise, it doesn't capture the time in which a
competing cgroup is occupying the CPU - meaning it only reflects
cgroup-internal competitive pressure, not outside pressure.
Enable tracking of currently executing tasks, and then change the
definition of cpu pressure in a cgroup from
NR_RUNNING > 1
to
NR_RUNNING > ON_CPU
which will capture the effects of cpu.max as well as competition from
outside the cgroup.
After this patch, a cgroup running `stress -c 1` with a cpu.max
setting of 5000 10000 shows ~50% continuous CPU pressure.

Currently, when updating the affinity of tasks via either cpusets.cpus,
or, sched_setaffinity(); tasks not currently running within the newly
specified mask will be arbitrarily assigned to the first CPU within the
mask.
This (particularly in the case that we are restricting masks) can
result in many tasks being assigned to the first CPUs of their new
masks.
This:
1) Can induce scheduling delays while the load-balancer has a chance to
spread them between their new CPUs.
2) Can antogonize a poor load-balancer behavior where it has a
difficult time recognizing that a cross-socket imbalance has been
forced by an affinity mask.
This change adds a new cpumask interface to allow iterated calls to
distribute within the intersection of the provided masks.
The cases that this mainly affects are:
- modifying cpuset.cpus
- when tasks join a cpuset
- when modifying a task's affinity via sched_setaffinity(2)

When a cfs rq is throttled, the latter and its child are removed from the
leaf list but their nr_running is not changed which includes staying higher
than 1. When a task is enqueued in this throttled branch, the cfs rqs must
be added back in order to ensure correct ordering in the list but this can
only happens if nr_running == 1.
When cfs bandwidth is used, we call unconditionnaly list_add_leaf_cfs_rq()
when enqueuing an entity to make sure that the complete branch will be
added.
Similarly unthrottle_cfs_rq() can stop adding cfs in the list when a parent
is throttled. Iterate the remaining entity to ensure that the complete
branch will be added in the list.

When searching for the best lowest_mask with a fitness_fn passed, make
sure we record the lowest_level that returns a valid lowest_mask so that
we can use that as a fallback in case we fail to find a fitting CPU at
all levels.
The intention in the original patch was not to allow a down migration to
unfitting CPU. But this missed the case where we are already running on
unfitting one.
With this change now RT tasks can still move between unfitting CPUs when
they're already running on such CPU.
And as Steve suggested; to adhere to the strict priority rules of RT, if
a task is already running on a fitting CPU but due to priority it can't
run on it, allow it to downmigrate to unfitting CPU so it can run.

Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still
be enqueued and its gse->on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such
child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase
h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st
for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse->on_rq == true and the
2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both
load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case.
The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before
breaking in the 1st loop.
Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order
to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop
early because the clock stays unchanged.

Thermal pressure follows pelt signals which means the decay period for
thermal pressure is the default pelt decay period. Depending on SoC
characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay
thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals. One way
to achieve this is to provide a command line parameter to set a decay
shift parameter to an integer between 0 and 10.

Extrapolating on the existing framework to track rt/dl utilization using
pelt signals, add a similar mechanism to track thermal pressure. The
difference here from rt/dl utilization tracking is that, instead of
tracking time spent by a CPU running a RT/DL task through util_avg, the
average thermal pressure is tracked through load_avg. This is because
thermal pressure signal is weighted time "delta" capacity unlike util_avg
which is binary. "delta capacity" here means delta between the actual
capacity of a CPU and the decreased capacity a CPU due to a thermal event.
In order to track average thermal pressure, a new sched_avg variable
avg_thermal is introduced. Function update_thermal_load_avg can be called
to do the periodic bookkeeping (accumulate, decay and average) of the
thermal pressure.

Multiple tasks can attempt to select and idle CPU but fail because
numa_migrate_on is already set and the migration fails. Instead of failing,
scan for an alternative idle CPU. select_idle_sibling is not used because
it requires IRQs to be disabled and it ignores numa_migrate_on allowing
multiple tasks to stack. This scan may still fail if there are idle
candidate CPUs due to races but if this occurs, it's best that a task
stay on an available CPU that move to a contended one.

task_numa_find_cpu() can scan a node multiple times. Minimally it scans to
gather statistics and later to find a suitable target. In some cases, the
second scan will simply pick an idle CPU if the load is not imbalanced.
This patch caches information on an idle core while gathering statistics
and uses it immediately if load is not imbalanced to avoid a second scan
of the node runqueues. Preference is given to an idle core rather than an
idle SMT sibling to avoid packing HT siblings due to linearly scanning the
node cpumask.
As a side-effect, even when the second scan is necessary, the importance
of using select_idle_sibling is much reduced because information on idle
CPUs is cached and can be reused.
Note that this patch actually makes is harder to move to an idle CPU
as multiple tasks can race for the same idle CPU due to a race checking
numa_migrate_on. This is addressed in the next patch.

Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new
signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal
track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the
state of rqs.
At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq:
A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is
considered as overloaded.
But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task
migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq.
When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be
higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use
this signal to better classify cfs_rqs.
The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply
adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq
will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity
will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.

The standard load balancer generally tries to keep the number of running
tasks or idle CPUs balanced between NUMA domains. The NUMA balancer allows
tasks to move if there is spare capacity but this causes a conflict and
utilisation between NUMA nodes gets badly skewed. This patch uses similar
logic between the NUMA balancer and load balancer when deciding if a task
migrating to its preferred node can use an idle CPU.

is split in 2 distinct parts for throttled cfs_rq without any added value
but making code less readable.
Change the code ordering such that everything related to a cfs_rq
(throttled or not) will be done in the same loop.
In addition, the same steps ordering is used when updating a cfs_rq:
- update_load_avg
- update_cfs_group
- update *h_nr_running
This reordering enables the use of h_nr_running in PELT algorithm.
No functional and performance changes are expected and have been noticed

SD_BALANCE_WAKE was previously added to lower sched_domain levels on
asymmetric CPU capacity systems by commit:
9ee1cda5ee ("sched/core: Enable SD_BALANCE_WAKE for asymmetric capacity systems")
to enable the use of find_idlest_cpu() and friends to find an appropriate
CPU for tasks.
That responsibility has now been shifted to select_idle_sibling() and
friends, and hence the flag can be removed. Note that this causes
asymmetric CPU capacity systems to no longer enter the slow wakeup path
(find_idlest_cpu()) on wakeups - only on execs and forks (which is aligned
with all other mainline topologies).

Issue
=====
On asymmetric CPU capacity topologies, we currently rely on wake_cap() to
drive select_task_rq_fair() towards either:
- its slow-path (find_idlest_cpu()) if either the previous or
current (waking) CPU has too little capacity for the waking task
- its fast-path (select_idle_sibling()) otherwise
Commit:
3273163c67 ("sched/fair: Let asymmetric CPU configurations balance at wake-up")
points out that this relies on the assumption that "[...]the CPU capacities
within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous".
This assumption no longer holds on newer generations of big.LITTLE
systems (DynamIQ), which can accommodate CPUs of different compute capacity
within a single LLC domain. To hopefully paint a better picture, a regular
big.LITTLE topology would look like this:
+---------+ +---------+
| L2 | | L2 |
+----+----+ +----+----+
|CPU0|CPU1| |CPU2|CPU3|
+----+----+ +----+----+
^^^ ^^^
LITTLEs bigs
which would result in the following scheduler topology:
DIE [ ] <- sd_asym_cpucapacity
MC [ ] [ ] <- sd_llc
0 1 2 3
Conversely, a DynamIQ topology could look like:
+-------------------+
| L3 |
+----+----+----+----+
| L2 | L2 | L2 | L2 |
+----+----+----+----+
|CPU0|CPU1|CPU2|CPU3|
+----+----+----+----+
^^^^^ ^^^^^
LITTLEs bigs
which would result in the following scheduler topology:
MC [ ] <- sd_llc, sd_asym_cpucapacity
0 1 2 3
What this means is that, on DynamIQ systems, we could pass the wake_cap()
test (IOW presume the waking task fits on the CPU capacities of some LLC
domain), thus go through select_idle_sibling().
This function operates on an LLC domain, which here spans both bigs and
LITTLEs, so it could very well pick a CPU of too small capacity for the
task, despite there being fitting idle CPUs - it very much depends on the
CPU iteration order, on which we have absolutely no guarantees
capacity-wise.
Implementation
==============
Introduce yet another select_idle_sibling() helper function that takes CPU
capacity into account. The policy is to pick the first idle CPU which is
big enough for the task (task_util * margin < cpu_capacity). If no
idle CPU is big enough, we pick the idle one with the highest capacity.
Unlike other select_idle_sibling() helpers, this one operates on the
sd_asym_cpucapacity sched_domain pointer, which is guaranteed to span all
known CPU capacities in the system. As such, this will work for both
"legacy" big.LITTLE (LITTLEs & bigs split at MC, joined at DIE) and for
newer DynamIQ systems (e.g. LITTLEs and bigs in the same MC domain).
Note that this limits the scope of select_idle_sibling() to
select_idle_capacity() for asymmetric CPU capacity systems - the LLC domain
will not be scanned, and no further heuristic will be applied.

The following XFS commit:
8ab39f11d9 ("xfs: prevent CIL push holdoff in log recovery")
changed the logic from using bound workqueues to using unbound
workqueues. Functionally this makes sense but it was observed at the
time that the dbench performance dropped quite a lot and CPU migrations
were increased.
The current pattern of the task migration is straight-forward. With XFS,
an IO issuer delegates work to xlog_cil_push_work ()on an unbound kworker.
This runs on a nearby CPU and on completion, dbench wakes up on its old CPU
as it is still idle and no migration occurs. dbench then queues the real
IO on the blk_mq_requeue_work() work item which runs on a bound kworker
which is forced to run on the same CPU as dbench. When IO completes,
the bound kworker wakes dbench but as the kworker is a bound but,
real task, the CPU is not considered idle and dbench gets migrated by
select_idle_sibling() to a new CPU. dbench may ping-pong between two CPUs
for a while but ultimately it starts a round-robin of all CPUs sharing
the same LLC. High-frequency migration on each IO completion has poor
performance overall. It has negative implications both in commication
costs and power management. mpstat confirmed that at low thread counts
that all CPUs sharing an LLC has low level of activity.
Note that even if the CIL patch was reverted, there still would
be migrations but the impact is less noticeable. It turns out that
individually the scheduler, XFS, blk-mq and workqueues all made sensible
decisions but in combination, the overall effect was sub-optimal.
This patch special cases the IO issue/completion pattern and allows
a bound kworker waker and a task wakee to stack on the same CPU if
there is a strong chance they are directly related. The expectation
is that the kworker is likely going back to sleep shortly. This is not
guaranteed as the IO could be queued asynchronously but there is a very
strong relationship between the task and kworker in this case that would
justify stacking on the same CPU instead of migrating. There should be
few concerns about kworker starvation given that the special casing is
only when the kworker is the waker.

Dbench has been modified to report the time to complete a single "load
file". This is a more meaningful metric for dbench that a throughput
metric as the benchmark makes many different system calls that are not
throughput-related
Patch shows a 9.23% and 48.53% reduction in the time to process a load
file with the difference partially explained by the number of CPUs sharing
a LLC. In a separate run, task migrations were almost eliminated by the
patch for low client counts. In case people have issue with the metric
used for the benchmark, this is a comparison of the throughputs as
reported by dbench on the NUMA machine.

Group RT scheduler contains protection against setting zero runtime for
cgroup with RT tasks. Right now function tg_set_rt_bandwidth() iterates
over all CPU cgroups and calls tg_has_rt_tasks() for any cgroup which
runtime is zero (not only for changed one). Default RT runtime is zero,
thus tg_has_rt_tasks() will is called for almost at CPU cgroups.
This protection already is slightly racy: runtime limit could be changed
between cpu_cgroup_can_attach() and cpu_cgroup_attach() because changing
cgroup attribute does not lock cgroup_mutex while attach does not lock
rt_constraints_mutex. Changing task scheduler class also races with
changing rt runtime: check in __sched_setscheduler() isn't protected.
Function tg_has_rt_tasks() iterates over all threads in the system.
This gives NR_CGROUPS * NR_TASKS operations under single tasklist_lock
locked for read tg_set_rt_bandwidth(). Any concurrent attempt of locking
tasklist_lock for write (for example fork) will stuck with disabled irqs.
This patch makes two optimizations:
1) Remove locking tasklist_lock and iterate only tasks in cgroup
2) Call tg_has_rt_tasks() iff rt runtime changes from non-zero to zero
All changed code is under CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED.
Testcase:
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test{1..10000}
# echo 0 | tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test*/cpu.rt_runtime_us
At the same time without patch fork time will be >100ms:
# perf trace -e clone --duration 100 stress-ng --fork 1
Also remote ping will show timings >100ms caused by irq latency.

Currently we loop through all threads of a core to evaluate if the core is
idle or not. This is unnecessary. If a thread of a core is not idle, skip
evaluating other threads of a core. Also while clearing the cpumask, bits
of all CPUs of a core can be cleared in one-shot.
Collecting ticks on a Power 9 SMT 8 system around select_idle_core
while running schbench shows us
(units are in ticks, hence lesser is better)

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.

tbench4 1.50 1.05 1.13 | 1.13 | 1.25
+------+
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.

gitsource 0.97 0.69 0.69 | 0.69 | 0.69
+------+
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.

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

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.

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.

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
throttled.
-set_next_task : set task and group_entities as current sched_entity of
their cfs_rq.
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.

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

2) 0.240 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.227 us | housekeeping_any_cpu();

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.

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 hint local percent 52.18 99.30
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.

The way loadavg is tracked during nohz only pays attention to the load
upon entering nohz. This can be particularly noticeable if full nohz is
entered while non-idle, and then the cpu goes idle and stays that way for
a long time.
Use the remote tick to ensure that full nohz cpus report their deltas
within a reasonable time.

The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and
cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the
kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent
vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity
mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated
CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts
on the isolated CPU.
Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding
logic in the interrupt affinity selection code.
The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that
it should try to avoid the above scenario.
This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically
assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and
housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are
directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping
CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU.
If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter
has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only
happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted
on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues.
If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none
of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also
routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the
isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained
housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the
interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on
the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one
interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the
migration.

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.

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.

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)).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The sole user of uclamp_util(), schedutil_cpu_util(), was made to use
uclamp_util_with() instead in commit:
af24bde8df ("sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute()")
From then on, uclamp_util() has remained unused. Being a simple wrapper
around uclamp_util_with(), we can get rid of it and win back a few lines.

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.

if (running)

calculating it is pointless.
If we count the times when @load equals zero and not as below:
if (load) {
load_is_not_zero_count++;
contrib = __accumulate_pelt_segments(periods,
1024 - sa->period_contrib,delta);
} else
load_is_zero_count++;
As we can see, load_is_zero_count is much bigger than
load_is_zero_count, and the gap is gradually widening:

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.

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.

Because of CPU affinity, the local group can be skipped which breaks the
assumption that statistics are always collected for local group. With
uninitialized local_sgs, the comparison is meaningless and the behavior
unpredictable. This can even end up to use local pointer which is to
NULL in this case.
If the local group has been skipped because of CPU affinity, we return
the idlest group.

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.

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"

pipe: Remove sync on wake_ups

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.

"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"

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.

Provide support for user, nice, guest and guest_nice fields through
kcpustat_field().
Whether we account the delta to a nice or not nice field is decided on
top of the nice value snapshot taken at the time we call kcpustat_field().
If the nice value of the task has been changed since the last vtime
update, we may have inacurrate distribution of the nice VS unnice
cputime.
However this is considered as a minor issue compared to the proper fix
that would involve interrupting the target on nice updates, which is
undesired on nohz_full CPUs.

In some cases it may be useful to specify an exit latency limit for
the idle state to be used during CPU idle time injection.
Instead of duplicating the information in struct cpuidle_device
or propagating the latency limit in the call stack, replace the
use_deepest_state field with forced_latency_limit_ns to represent
that limit, so that the deepest idle state with exit latency within
that limit is forced (i.e. no governors) when it is set.
A zero exit latency limit for forced idle means to use governors in
the usual way (analogous to use_deepest_state equal to "false" before
this change).
Additionally, add play_idle_precise() taking two arguments, the
duration of forced idle and the idle state exit latency limit, both
in nanoseconds, and redefine play_idle() as a wrapper around that
new function.
This change is preparatory, no functional impact is expected.

Tidy up a few bits:
- Fix typos and grammar, improve wording.
- Remove spurious newlines that are col80 warning artifacts where the
resulting line-break is worse than the disease it's curing.
- Use core kernel coding style to improve readability and reduce
spurious code pattern variations.
- Use better vertical alignment for structure definitions and initialization
sequences.
- Misc other small details.
No change in functionality intended.

update_cfs_rq_load_avg() calls cfs_rq_util_change() every time PELT decays,
which might be inefficient when the cpufreq driver has rate limitation.
When a task is attached on a CPU, we have this call path:
update_load_avg()
update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update
attach_entity_load_avg()
cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update
The 1st frequency update will not take into account the utilization of the
newly attached task and the 2nd one might be discarded because of rate
limitation of the cpufreq driver.
update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is only called by update_blocked_averages()
and update_load_avg() so we can move the call to
cfs_rq_util_change/cpufreq_update_util() into these two functions.
It's also interesting to note that update_load_avg() already calls
cfs_rq_util_change() directly for the !SMP case.
This change will also ensure that cpufreq_update_util() is called even
when there is no more CFS rq in the leaf_cfs_rq_list to update, but only
IRQ, RT or DL PELT signals.

The task, for which the scheduler looks for the idlest group of CPUs, must
be discounted from all statistics in order to get a fair comparison
between groups. This includes utilization, load, nr_running and idle_cpus.
Such unfairness can be easily highlighted with the unixbench execl 1 task.
This test continuously call execve() and the scheduler looks for the idlest
group/CPU on which it should place the task. Because the task runs on the
local group/CPU, the latter seems already busy even if there is nothing
else running on it. As a result, the scheduler will always select another
group/CPU than the local one.
This recovers most of the performance regression on my system from the
recent load-balancer rewrite.

Some uclamp helpers had their return type changed from 'unsigned int' to
'enum uclamp_id' by commit
0413d7f33e ("sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values")
but it happens that some do return a value in the [0, SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE]
range, which should really be unsigned int. The affected helpers are
uclamp_none(), uclamp_rq_max_value() and uclamp_eff_value(). Fix those up.
Note that this doesn't lead to any obj diff using a relatively recent
aarch64 compiler (8.3-2019.03). The current code of e.g. uclamp_eff_value()
properly returns an 11 bit value (bits_per(1024)) and doesn't seem to do
anything funny. I'm still marking this as fixing the above commit to be on
the safe side.

While seemingly harmless, __sched_fork() does hrtimer_init(), which,
when DEBUG_OBJETS, can end up doing allocations.
This then results in the following lock order:
rq->lock
zone->lock.rlock
batched_entropy_u64.lock
Which in turn causes deadlocks when we do wakeups while holding that
batched_entropy lock -- as the random code does.
Solve this by moving __sched_fork() out from under rq->lock. This is
safe because nothing there relies on rq->lock, as also evident from the
other __sched_fork() callsite.

Currently, the cpuidle subsystem uses microseconds as the unit of
time which (among other things) causes the idle loop to incur some
integer division overhead for no clear benefit.
In order to allow cpuidle to measure time in nanoseconds, add two
new fields, exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns, to represent the
exit latency and target residency of an idle state in nanoseconds,
respectively, to struct cpuidle_state and initialize them with the
help of the corresponding values in microseconds provided by drivers.
Additionally, change cpuidle_governor_latency_req() to return the
idle state exit latency constraint in nanoseconds.
Also meeasure idle state residency (last_residency_ns in struct
cpuidle_device and time_ns in struct cpuidle_driver) in nanoseconds
and update the cpuidle core and governors accordingly.
However, the menu governor still computes typical intervals in
microseconds to avoid integer overflows.

Ever since we moved the sched_class definitions into their own files,
the constant expression {fair,idle}_sched_class.pick_next_task() is
not in fact a compile time constant anymore and results in an indirect
call (barring LTO).
Fix that by exposing pick_next_task_{fair,idle}() directly, this gets
rid of the indirect call (and RETPOLINE) on the fast path.
Also remove the unlikely() from the idle case, it is in fact /the/ way
we select idle -- and that is a very common thing to do.
Performance for will-it-scale/sched_yield improves by 2% (as reported

Commit 67692435c4 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path")
inadvertly introduced a race because it changed a previously
unexplored dependency between dropping the rq->lock and
sched_class::put_prev_task().
The comments about dropping rq->lock, in for example
newidle_balance(), only mentions the task being current and ->on_cpu
being set. But when we look at the 'change' pattern (in for example
sched_setnuma()):
queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */
if (queued)
dequeue_task(...);
if (running)
put_prev_task(...);
/* change task properties */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(...);
if (running)
set_next_task(...);
It becomes obvious that if we do this after put_prev_task() has
already been called on @p, things go sideways. This is exactly what
the commit in question allows to happen when it does:
prev->sched_class->put_prev_task(rq, prev, rf);
if (!rq->nr_running)
newidle_balance(rq, rf);
The newidle_balance() call will drop rq->lock after we've called
put_prev_task() and that allows the above 'change' pattern to
interleave and mess up the state.
Furthermore, it turns out we lost the RT-pull when we put the last DL
task.
Fix both problems by extracting the balancing from put_prev_task() and
doing a multi-class balance() pass before put_prev_task().

This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool
implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among
the reasons for this addition are:
- We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we
manage the life time of threads.
- We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the
async_list.
- We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of
buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b)
needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low
which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers.
- We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling
interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets.
- We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables
from a process.
- We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general.
- We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster
async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used
threads.
This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the
same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq
supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node.
io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue
and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.

Kcpustat is not correctly supported on nohz_full CPUs. The tick doesn't
fire and the cputime therefore doesn't move forward. The issue has shown
up after the vanishing of the remaining 1Hz which has made the stall
visible.
We are solving that with checking the task running on a CPU through RCU
and reading its vtime delta that we add to the raw kcpustat values.
We make sure that we fetch a coherent raw-kcpustat/vtime-delta couple
sequence while checking that the CPU referred by the target vtime is the
correct one, under the locked vtime seqcount.
Only CPUTIME_SYSTEM is handled here as a start because it's the trivial
case. User and guest time will require more preparation work to
correctly handle niceness.

The estimated utilization for a task:
util_est = max(util_avg, est.enqueue, est.ewma)
is defined based on:
- util_avg: the PELT defined utilization
- est.enqueued: the util_avg at the end of the last activation
- est.ewma: a exponential moving average on the est.enqueued samples
According to this definition, when a task suddenly changes its bandwidth
requirements from small to big, the EWMA will need to collect multiple
samples before converging up to track the new big utilization.
This slow convergence towards bigger utilization values is not
aligned to the default scheduler behavior, which is to optimize for
performance. Moreover, the est.ewma component fails to compensate for
temporarely utilization drops which spans just few est.enqueued samples.
To let util_est do a better job in the scenario depicted above, change
its definition by making util_est directly follow upward motion and
only decay the est.ewma on downward.

While the static key is correctly initialized as being disabled, it will
remain forever enabled once turned on. This means that if we start with an
asymmetric system and hotplug out enough CPUs to end up with an SMP system,
the static key will remain set - which is obviously wrong. We should detect
this and turn off things like misfit migration and capacity aware wakeups.
As Quentin pointed out, having separate root domains makes this slightly
trickier. We could have exclusive cpusets that create an SMP island - IOW,
the domains within this root domain will not see any asymmetry. This means
we can't just disable the key on domain destruction, we need to count how
many asymmetric root domains we have.
Consider the following example using Juno r0 which is 2+4 big.LITTLE, where
two identical cpusets are created: they both span both big and LITTLE CPUs:
asym0 asym1
[ ][ ]
L L B L L B
$ cgcreate -g cpuset:asym0
$ cgset -r cpuset.cpus=0,1,3 asym0
$ cgset -r cpuset.mems=0 asym0
$ cgset -r cpuset.cpu_exclusive=1 asym0
$ cgcreate -g cpuset:asym1
$ cgset -r cpuset.cpus=2,4,5 asym1
$ cgset -r cpuset.mems=0 asym1
$ cgset -r cpuset.cpu_exclusive=1 asym1
$ cgset -r cpuset.sched_load_balance=0 .
(the CPU numbering may look odd because on the Juno LITTLEs are CPUs 0,3-5
and bigs are CPUs 1-2)
If we make one of those SMP (IOW remove asymmetry) by e.g. hotplugging its
big core, we would end up with an SMP cpuset and an asymmetric cpuset - the
static key must remain set, because we still have one asymmetric root domain.
With the above example, this could be done with:
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
Which would result in:
asym0 asym1
[ ][ ]
L L B L L
When both SMP and asymmetric cpusets are present, all CPUs will observe
sched_asym_cpucapacity being set (it is system-wide), but not all CPUs
observe asymmetry in their sched domain hierarchy:
per_cpu(sd_asym_cpucapacity, <any CPU in asym0>) == <some SD at DIE level>
per_cpu(sd_asym_cpucapacity, <any CPU in asym1>) == NULL
Change the simple key enablement to an increment, and decrement the key
counter when destroying domains that cover asymmetric CPUs.

CFS load_balance() only takes care of CFS tasks whereas CPUs can be used by
other scheduling classes. Typically, a CFS task preempted by an RT or deadline
task will not get a chance to be pulled by another CPU because
load_balance() doesn't take into account tasks from other classes.
Add sum of nr_running in the statistics and use it to detect such
situations.

The load_balance() algorithm contains some heuristics which have become
meaningless since the rework of the scheduler's metrics like the
introduction of PELT.
Furthermore, load is an ill-suited metric for solving certain task
placement imbalance scenarios.
For instance, in the presence of idle CPUs, we should simply try to get at
least one task per CPU, whereas the current load-based algorithm can actually
leave idle CPUs alone simply because the load is somewhat balanced.
The current algorithm ends up creating virtual and meaningless values like
the avg_load_per_task or tweaks the state of a group to make it overloaded
whereas it's not, in order to try to migrate tasks.
load_balance() should better qualify the imbalance of the group and clearly
define what has to be moved to fix this imbalance.
The type of sched_group has been extended to better reflect the type of
imbalance. We now have:
group_has_spare
group_fully_busy
group_misfit_task
group_asym_packing
group_imbalanced
group_overloaded
Based on the type of sched_group, load_balance now sets what it wants to
move in order to fix the imbalance. It can be some load as before but also
some utilization, a number of task or a type of task:
migrate_task
migrate_util
migrate_load
migrate_misfit
This new load_balance() algorithm fixes several pending wrong tasks
placement:
- the 1 task per CPU case with asymmetric system
- the case of cfs task preempted by other class
- the case of tasks not evenly spread on groups with spare capacity
Also the load balance decisions have been consolidated in the 3 functions
below after removing the few bypasses and hacks of the current code:
- update_sd_pick_busiest() select the busiest sched_group.
- find_busiest_group() checks if there is an imbalance between local and
busiest group.
- calculate_imbalance() decides what have to be moved.
Finally, the now unused field total_running of struct sd_lb_stats has been
removed.

As pointed out in commit
182a85f8a1 ("sched: Disable wakeup balancing")
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is a tad too aggressive, and is usually left unset.
However, it turns out cpuset domain relaxation will unconditionally set it
on domains below the relaxation level. This made sense back when
SD_BALANCE_WAKE was set unconditionally, but it no longer is the case.
We can improve things slightly by noticing that set_domain_attribute() is
always called after sd_init(), so rather than setting flags we can rely on
whatever sd_init() is doing and only clear certain flags when above the
relaxation level.
While at it, slightly clean up the function and flip the relax level
check to be more human readable.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two fixes: a guest-cputime accounting fix, and a cgroup bandwidth
quota precision fix"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/vtime: Fix guest/system mis-accounting on task switch
sched/fair: Scale bandwidth quota and period without losing quota/period ratio precision
On context switch we are locking the vtime seqcount of the scheduling-out
task twice:
* On vtime_task_switch_common(), when we flush the pending vtime through
vtime_account_system()
* On arch_vtime_task_switch() to reset the vtime state.
This is pointless as these actions can be performed without the need
to unlock/lock in the middle. The reason these steps are separated is to
consolidate a very small amount of common code between
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE.
Performance in this fast path is definitely a priority over artificial
code factorization so split the task switch code between GEN and
NATIVE and mutualize the parts than can run under a single seqcount
locked block.
As a side effect, vtime_account_idle() becomes included in the seqcount
protection. This happens to be a welcome preparation in order to
properly support kcpustat under vtime in the future and fetch
CPUTIME_IDLE without race.

So this function is a misnomer as we are on a higher level than

accounting kernel cputime. Whether it belongs to guest or system time
is a lower level detail.

vtime_account_system() assumes that the target task to account cputime
to is always the current task. This is most often true indeed except on
task switch where we call:
vtime_common_task_switch(prev)
vtime_account_system(prev)
Here prev is the scheduling-out task where we account the cputime to. It
doesn't match current that is already the scheduling-in task at this
stage of the context switch.
So we end up checking the wrong task flags to determine if we are
accounting guest or system time to the previous task.
As a result the wrong task is used to check if the target is running in
guest mode. We may then spuriously account or leak either system or
guest time on task switch.
Fix this assumption and also turn vtime_guest_enter/exit() to use the
task passed in parameter as well to avoid future similar issues.

The quota/period ratio is used to ensure a child task group won't get
more bandwidth than the parent task group, and is calculated as:
normalized_cfs_quota() = [(quota_us << 20) / period_us]
If the quota/period ratio was changed during this scaling due to
precision loss, it will cause inconsistency between parent and child
task groups.
See below example:
A userspace container manager (kubelet) does three operations:
1) Create a parent cgroup, set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us.
2) Create a few children cgroups.
3) Set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us on a child cgroup.
These operations are expected to succeed. However, if the scaling of
147/128 happens before step 3, quota and period of the parent cgroup
will be changed:
new_quota: 1148437ns, 1148us
new_period: 11484375ns, 11484us
And when step 3 comes in, the ratio of the child cgroup will be
104857, which will be larger than the parent cgroup ratio (104821),
and will fail.
Scaling them by a factor of 2 will fix the problem.

i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy
struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended
struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set
to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel.
The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of
duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(),
and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users
implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics.
This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where
versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics:
sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar
checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always
rejects differently-sized struct arguments.
With this pull request we also switch over sched_setattr(),
perf_event_open(), and clone3() to use the new helper"

227a4aadc7 ("sched/membarrier: Fix p->mm->membarrier_state racy load")
got fat fingered by me when merging it with other patches. It meant to move
the RCU section out of the for loop but ended up doing it partially, leaving
a superfluous rcu_read_lock() inside, causing havok.

Switch sched_setattr() syscall from it's own copying struct sched_attr
from userspace to the new dedicated copy_struct_from_user() helper.
The change is very straightforward, and helps unify the syscall
interface for struct-from-userspace syscalls. Ideally we could also
unify sched_getattr(2)-style syscalls as well, but unfortunately the
correct semantics for such syscalls are much less clear (see [1] for
more detail). In future we could come up with a more sane idea for how
the syscall interface should look.

rid of the subtle task_rcu_dereference() interface that was easy to
get wrong
- Misc fixes, but also an EAS speedup

calculation is still done twice, unnecessarily.
Add a condition to filter out this corner case before doing the energy

update_max_interval() is called in both CPUHP_AP_SCHED_STARTING's startup
and teardown callbacks, but it turns out it's also called at the end of
the startup callback of CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE (which is further down the
startup sequence).
There's no point in repeating this interval update in the startup sequence
since the CPU will remain online until it goes down the teardown path.
Remove the redundant call in sched_cpu_activate() (CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE).

The membarrier_state field is located within the mm_struct, which
is not guaranteed to exist when used from runqueue-lock-free iteration
on runqueues by the membarrier system call.
Copy the membarrier_state from the mm_struct into the scheduler runqueue
when the scheduler switches between mm.
When registering membarrier for mm, after setting the registration bit
in the mm membarrier state, issue a synchronize_rcu() to ensure the
scheduler observes the change. In order to take care of the case
where a runqueue keeps executing the target mm without swapping to
other mm, iterate over each runqueue and issue an IPI to copy the
membarrier_state from the mm_struct into each runqueue which have the
same mm which state has just been modified.
Move the mm membarrier_state field closer to pgd in mm_struct to use
a cache line already touched by the scheduler switch_mm.
The membarrier_execve() (now membarrier_exec_mmap) hook now needs to
clear the runqueue's membarrier state in addition to clear the mm
membarrier state, so move its implementation into the scheduler
membarrier code so it can access the runqueue structure.
Add memory barrier in membarrier_exec_mmap() prior to clearing
the membarrier state, ensuring memory accesses executed prior to exec
are not reordered with the stores clearing the membarrier state.
As suggested by Linus, move all membarrier.c RCU read-side locks outside
of the for each cpu loops.

The current task on the runqueue is currently read with rcu_dereference().
To obtain ordinary RCU semantics for an rcu_dereference() of rq->curr it needs
to be paired with rcu_assign_pointer() of rq->curr. Which provides the
memory barrier necessary to order assignments to the task_struct
and the assignment to rq->curr.
Unfortunately the assignment of rq->curr in __schedule is a hot path,
and it has already been show that additional barriers in that code
will reduce the performance of the scheduler. So I will attempt to
describe below why you can effectively have ordinary RCU semantics
without any additional barriers.
The assignment of rq->curr in init_idle is a slow path called once
per cpu and that can use rcu_assign_pointer() without any concerns.
As I write this there are effectively two users of rcu_dereference() on
rq->curr. There is the membarrier code in kernel/sched/membarrier.c
that only looks at "->mm" after the rcu_dereference(). Then there is
task_numa_compare() in kernel/sched/fair.c. My best reading of the
code shows that task_numa_compare only access: "->flags",
"->cpus_ptr", "->numa_group", "->numa_faults[]",
"->total_numa_faults", and "->se.cfs_rq".
The code in __schedule() essentially does:
rq_lock(...);
smp_mb__after_spinlock();
next = pick_next_task(...);
rq->curr = next;
context_switch(prev, next);
At the start of the function the rq_lock/smp_mb__after_spinlock
pair provides a full memory barrier. Further there is a full memory barrier
in context_switch().
This means that any task that has already run and modified itself (the
common case) has already seen two memory barriers before __schedule()
runs and begins executing. A task that modifies itself then sees a
third full memory barrier pair with the rq_lock();
For a brand new task that is enqueued with wake_up_new_task() there
are the memory barriers present from the taking and release the
pi_lock and the rq_lock as the processes is enqueued as well as the
full memory barrier at the start of __schedule() assuming __schedule()
happens on the same cpu.
This means that by the time we reach the assignment of rq->curr
except for values on the task struct modified in pick_next_task
the code has the same guarantees as if it used rcu_assign_pointer().
Reading through all of the implementations of pick_next_task it
appears pick_next_task is limited to modifying the task_struct fields
"->se", "->rt", "->dl". These fields are the sched_entity structures
of the varies schedulers.
Further "->se.cfs_rq" is only changed in cgroup attach/move operations
initialized by userspace.
Unless I have missed something this means that in practice that the
users of "rcu_dereference(rq->curr)" get normal RCU semantics of
rcu_dereference() for the fields the care about, despite the
assignment of rq->curr in __schedule() ot using rcu_assign_pointer.

Remove work arounds that were written before there was a grace period
after tasks left the runqueue in finish_task_switch().
In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience
a RCU grace period none of the work performed by task_rcu_dereference()
excpet the rcu_dereference() is necessary so replace task_rcu_dereference()
with rcu_dereference().
Remove the code in rcuwait_wait_event() that checks to ensure the current
task has not exited. It is no longer necessary as it is guaranteed
that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it
leaves the run queueue.
Remove the comment in rcuwait_wake_up() as it is no longer relevant.

In the ordinary case today the RCU grace period for a task_struct is
triggered when another process wait's for it's zombine and causes the
kernel to call release_task(). As the waiting task has to receive a
signal and then act upon it before this happens, typically this will
occur after the original task as been removed from the runqueue.
Unfortunaty in some cases such as self reaping tasks it can be shown
that release_task() will be called starting the grace period for
task_struct long before the task leaves the runqueue.
Therefore use put_task_struct_rcu_user() in finish_task_switch() to
guarantee that the there is a RCU lifetime after the task
leaves the runqueue.
Besides the change in the start of the RCU grace period for the
task_struct this change may cause perf_event_delayed_put and
trace_sched_process_free. The function perf_event_delayed_put boils
down to just a WARN_ON for cases that I assume never show happen. So
I don't see any problem with delaying it.
The function trace_sched_process_free is a trace point and thus
visible to user space. Occassionally userspace has the strangest
dependencies so this has a miniscule chance of causing a regression.
This change only changes the timing of when the tracepoint is called.
The change in timing arguably gives userspace a more accurate picture
of what is going on. So I don't expect there to be a regression.
In the case where a task self reaps we are pretty much guaranteed that
the RCU grace period is delayed. So we should get quite a bit of
coverage in of this worst case for the change in a normal threaded
workload. So I expect any issues to turn up quickly or not at all.
I have lightly tested this change and everything appears to work
fine.

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].
I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com
This patch (of 3):
Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.
The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.
Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

This is more cleanup and consolidation of the hmm APIs and the very
strongly related mmu_notifier interfaces. Many places across the tree
using these interfaces are touched in the process. Beyond that a cleanup
to the page walker API and a few memremap related changes round out the
series:
- General improvement of hmm_range_fault() and related APIs, more
documentation, bug fixes from testing, API simplification &
consolidation, and unused API removal
- Simplify the hmm related kconfigs to HMM_MIRROR and DEVICE_PRIVATE, and
make them internal kconfig selects
- Hoist a lot of code related to mmu notifier attachment out of drivers by
using a refcount get/put attachment idiom and remove the convoluted
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() and related APIs.
- General API improvement for the migrate_vma API and revision of its only
user in nouveau
- Annotate mmu_notifiers with lockdep and sleeping region debugging
Two series unrelated to HMM or mmu_notifiers came along due to
dependencies:
- Allow pagemap's memremap_pages family of APIs to work without providing
a struct device
- Make walk_page_range() and related use a constant structure for function
pointers

Pull core timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Timers and timekeeping updates:
- A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
properly accounted on the task/process.
An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
travel.
- Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
- Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
single function
- Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
affected timers accordingly.
- Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
released by the (hr)timer expiry code.
- Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.
- Updates to various clocksource/clockevent drivers and their device
tree bindings.
- The usual small improvements all over the place"

cfs_rq_clock_task() was first introduced and used in:
f1b17280ef ("sched: Maintain runnable averages across throttled periods")
Over time its use has been graduately removed by the following commits:
d31b1a66cb ("sched/fair: Factorize PELT update")
2312729688 ("sched/fair: Update scale invariance of PELT")
Today, there is no single user left, so it can be safely removed.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.
As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)
- Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
to go though.
- Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.
- Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).
- Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.
- Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.
- Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.
- Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
being offlined.
- Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
before.
- Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
optimal.
- Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.
- Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.
- ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see

EAS computes the energy impact of migrating a waking task when deciding
on which CPU it should run. However, the current approach is known to
have a high algorithmic complexity, which can result in prohibitively
high wake-up latencies on systems with complex energy models, such as
systems with per-CPU DVFS. On such systems, the algorithm complexity is
in O(n^2) (ignoring the cost of searching for performance states in the
EM) with 'n' the number of CPUs.
To address this, re-factor the EAS wake-up path to compute the energy
'delta' (with and without the task) on a per-performance domain basis,
rather than system-wide, which brings the complexity down to O(n).
No functional changes intended.
Test results
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Setup: Tested on a Google Pixel 3, with a Snapdragon 845 (4+4 CPUs,
A55/A75). Base kernel is 5.3-rc5 + Pixel3 specific patches. Android
userspace, no graphics.
* Test case: Run a periodic rt-app task, with 16ms period, ramping down
from 70% to 10%, in 5% steps of 500 ms each (json avail. at [1]).
Frequencies of all CPUs are pinned to max (using scaling_min_freq
CPUFreq sysfs entries) to reduce variability. The time to run
select_task_rq_fair() is measured using the function profiler
(/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*). See the test script
for more details [2].
Test 1:
I hacked the DT to 'fake' per-CPU DVFS. That is, we end up with one
CPUFreq policy per CPU (8 policies in total). Since all frequencies are
pinned to max for the test, this should have no impact on the actual
frequency selection, but it does in the EAS calculation.

In addition to these two tests, I also ran 50 iterations of the Lisa

In some special cases we must not block, but there's not a spinlock,
preempt-off, irqs-off or similar critical section already that arms the
might_sleep() debug checks. Add a non_block_start/end() pair to annotate
these.
This will be used in the oom paths of mmu-notifiers, where blocking is not
allowed to make sure there's forward progress. Quoting Michal:
"The notifier is called from quite a restricted context - oom_reaper -
which shouldn't depend on any locks or sleepable conditionals. The code
should be swift as well but we mostly do care about it to make a forward
progress. Checking for sleepable context is the best thing we could come
up with that would describe these demands at least partially."
Peter also asked whether we want to catch spinlocks on top, but Michal
said those are less of a problem because spinlocks can't have an indirect
dependency upon the page allocator and hence close the loop with the oom
reaper.
Suggested by Michal Hocko.

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo reported that 'chrt' broke on recent kernels:
$ chrt -p $$
chrt: failed to get pid 26306's policy: Argument list too long
and he has root-caused the bug to the following commit increasing sched_attr
size and breaking sched_read_attr() into returning -EFBIG:
a509a7cd79 ("sched/uclamp: Extend sched_setattr() to support utilization clamping")
The other, bigger bug is that the whole sched_getattr() and sched_read_attr()
logic of checking non-zero bits in new ABI components is arguably broken,
and pretty much any extension of the ABI will spuriously break the ABI.
That's way too fragile.
Instead implement the perf syscall's extensible ABI instead, which we
already implement on the sched_setattr() side:
- if user-attributes have the same size as kernel attributes then the
logic is unchanged.
- if user-attributes are larger than the kernel knows about then simply
skip the extra bits, but set attr->size to the (smaller) kernel size
so that tooling can (in principle) handle older kernel as well.
- if user-attributes are smaller than the kernel knows about then just
copy whatever user-space can accept.
Also clean up the whole logic:
- Simplify the code flow - there's no need for 'ret' for example.
- Standardize on 'kattr/uattr' and 'ksize/usize' naming to make sure we
always know which side we are dealing with.
- Why is it called 'read' when what it does is to copy to user? This
code is so far away from VFS read() semantics that the naming is
actively confusing. Name it sched_attr_copy_to_user() instead, which
mirrors other copy_to_user() functionality.
- Move the attr->size assignment from the head of sched_getattr() to the
sched_attr_copy_to_user() function. Nothing else within the kernel
should care about the size of the structure.
With these fixes the sched_getattr() syscall now nicely supports an
extensible ABI in both a forward and backward compatible fashion, and
will also fix the chrt bug.
As an added bonus the bogus -EFBIG return is removed as well, which as
Thadeu noted should have been -E2BIG to begin with.

The play_idle resolution is 1ms. The intel_powerclamp bases the idle
duration on jiffies. The idle injection API is also using msec based
duration but has no user yet.
Unfortunately, msec based time does not fit well when we want to
inject idle cycle precisely with shallow idle state.
In order to set the scene for the incoming idle injection user, move
the precision up to usec when calling play_idle.

The supported clamp indexes are defined in 'enum clamp_id', however, because
of the code logic in some of the first utilization clamping series version,
sometimes we needed to use 'unsigned int' to represent indices.
This is not more required since the final version of the uclamp_* APIs can
always use the proper enum uclamp_id type.
Fix it with a bulk rename now that we have all the bits merged.

On updates of task group (TG) clamp values, ensure that these new values
are enforced on all RUNNABLE tasks of the task group, i.e. all RUNNABLE
tasks are immediately boosted and/or capped as requested.
Do that each time we update effective clamps from cpu_util_update_eff().
Use the *cgroup_subsys_state (css) to walk the list of tasks in each
affected TG and update their RUNNABLE tasks.
Update each task by using the same mechanism used for cpu affinity masks
updates, i.e. by taking the rq lock.

When a task specific clamp value is configured via sched_setattr(2), this
value is accounted in the corresponding clamp bucket every time the task is
{en,de}qeued. However, when cgroups are also in use, the task specific
clamp values could be restricted by the task_group (TG) clamp values.
Update uclamp_cpu_inc() to aggregate task and TG clamp values. Every time a
task is enqueued, it's accounted in the clamp bucket tracking the smaller
clamp between the task specific value and its TG effective value. This
allows to:
1. ensure cgroup clamps are always used to restrict task specific requests,
i.e. boosted not more than its TG effective protection and capped at
least as its TG effective limit.
2. implement a "nice-like" policy, where tasks are still allowed to request
less than what enforced by their TG effective limits and protections
Do this by exploiting the concept of "effective" clamp, which is already
used by a TG to track parent enforced restrictions.
Apply task group clamp restrictions only to tasks belonging to a child
group. While, for tasks in the root group or in an autogroup, system
defaults are still enforced.

The clamp values are not tunable at the level of the root task group.
That's for two main reasons:
- the root group represents "system resources" which are always
entirely available from the cgroup standpoint.
- when tuning/restricting "system resources" makes sense, tuning must
be done using a system wide API which should also be available when
control groups are not.
When a system wide restriction is available, cgroups should be aware of
its value in order to know exactly how much "system resources" are
available for the subgroups.
Utilization clamping supports already the concepts of:
- system defaults: which define the maximum possible clamp values
usable by tasks.
- effective clamps: which allows a parent cgroup to constraint (maybe
temporarily) its descendants without losing the information related
to the values "requested" from them.
Exploit these two concepts and bind them together in such a way that,
whenever system default are tuned, the new values are propagated to
(possibly) restrict or relax the "effective" value of nested cgroups.
When cgroups are in use, force an update of all the RUNNABLE tasks.
Otherwise, keep things simple and do just a lazy update next time each
task will be enqueued.
Do that since we assume a more strict resource control is required when
cgroups are in use. This allows also to keep "effective" clamp values
updated in case we need to expose them to user-space.

In order to properly support hierarchical resources control, the cgroup
delegation model requires that attribute writes from a child group never
fail but still are locally consistent and constrained based on parent's
assigned resources. This requires to properly propagate and aggregate
parent attributes down to its descendants.
Implement this mechanism by adding a new "effective" clamp value for each
task group. The effective clamp value is defined as the smaller value
between the clamp value of a group and the effective clamp value of its
parent. This is the actual clamp value enforced on tasks in a task group.
Since it's possible for a cpu.uclamp.min value to be bigger than the
cpu.uclamp.max value, ensure local consistency by restricting each
"protection" (i.e. min utilization) with the corresponding "limit"
(i.e. max utilization).
Do that at effective clamps propagation to ensure all user-space write
never fails while still always tracking the most restrictive values.

The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.
With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.
Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.
Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.
Specifically:
- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
utilization
- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
utilization
These attributes:
a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.
b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
by the system wide interface.
This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
- request whatever clamp values it would like to get
- effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent
c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.
Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.
Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.

SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init()
for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops
(RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance
across domains that far apart.
However, as is rather unfortunately explained in:
commit 32e45ff43e ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30")
the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from
2011-era hardware.
Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances:
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32
1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32
2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32
3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32
4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16
5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16
6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16
7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10
where 2 hops is 32.
The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across
NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart.
For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4

do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b->runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly, then other cfs_rqs
attached to this cfs_b can't get runtime and will be throttled.
We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq->runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet:
distribute_cfs_runtime() {
runtime = -cfs_rq->runtime_remaining + 1;
}
The runtime here will change to a large number and consume all
cfs_b->runtime in this cfs_b period.
According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.
This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled until that distribute_cfs_runtime is called.

Pull scheduler fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"Handle the worker management in situations where a task is scheduled
out on a PI lock contention correctly and schedule a new worker if
possible"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/core: Schedule new worker even if PI-blocked
Only when calling the poll syscall the first time can user receive
POLLPRI correctly. After that, user always fails to acquire the event
signal.
Reproduce case:
1. Get the monitor code in Documentation/accounting/psi.txt
2. Run it, and wait for the event triggered.
3. Kill and restart the process.
The question is why we can end up with poll_scheduled = 1 but the work
not running (which would reset it to 0). And the answer is because the
scheduling side sees group->poll_kworker under RCU protection and then
schedules it, but here we cancel the work and destroy the worker. The
cancel needs to pair with resetting the poll_scheduled flag.

If a task is PI-blocked (blocking on sleeping spinlock) then we don't want to
schedule a new kworker if we schedule out due to lock contention because !RT
does not do that as well. A spinning spinlock disables preemption and a worker
does not schedule out on lock contention (but spin).
On RT the RW-semaphore implementation uses an rtmutex so
tsk_is_pi_blocked() will return true if a task blocks on it. In this case we
will now start a new worker which may deadlock if one worker is waiting on
progress from another worker. Since a RW-semaphore starts a new worker on !RT,
we should do the same on RT.
XFS is able to trigger this deadlock.
Allow to schedule new worker if the current worker is PI-blocked.

To avoid reducing the frequency of a CPU prematurely, we skip reducing
the frequency if the CPU had been busy recently.
This should not be done when the limits of the policy are changed, for
example due to thermal throttling. We should always get the frequency
within the new limits as soon as possible.
Trying to fix this by using only one flag, i.e. need_freq_update, can
lead to a race condition where the flag gets cleared without forcing us
to change the frequency at least once. And so this patch introduces
another flag to avoid that race condition.

Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.
By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().
This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.
Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.
For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do
balancing, and we could do this before the picking loop. Make this
possible.

The CPU hotplug task selection is the only place where we used
put_prev_task() on a task that is not current. While looking at that,
it occured to me that we can simplify all that by by using a custom

Because pick_next_task() implies set_curr_task() and some of the
details haven't mattered too much, some of what _should_ be in
set_curr_task() ended up in pick_next_task, correct this.
This prepares the way for a pick_next_task() variant that does not
affect the current state; allowing remote picking.

It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications
running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of
periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated
amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu
bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when
run on multiple cpu cores.
This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu
bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period.
At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused
slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for
which they are allocated.
The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by
'commit 512ac999d2 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift
condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since
at least 'commit 51f2176d74 ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b->quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That
added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being
expired.
if (cfs_rq->runtime_expires != cfs_b->runtime_expires) {
/* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */
cfs_rq->runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC;
Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed
and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion
that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed
altogether.
This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer
than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not
use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer
period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the
above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing
your cpu quota.
This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its
allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the
remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no
more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will
change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their
quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this
provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu
utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they
hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per
period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate
over longer timeframes.
This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound
applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count
machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on
80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance
improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.
That testcase is available at https://github.com/indeedeng/fibtest.

The current active_mm reference counting is confusing and sub-optimal.
Rewrite the code to explicitly consider the 4 separate cases:
user -> user
When switching between two user tasks, all we need to consider
is switch_mm().
user -> kernel
When switching from a user task to a kernel task (which
doesn't have an associated mm) we retain the last mm in our
active_mm. Increment a reference count on active_mm.
kernel -> kernel
When switching between kernel threads, all we need to do is
pass along the active_mm reference.
kernel -> user
When switching between a kernel and user task, we must switch
from the last active_mm to the next mm, hoping of course that
these are the same. Decrement a reference on the active_mm.
The code keeps a different order, because as you'll note, both 'to
user' cases require switch_mm().
And where the old code would increment/decrement for the 'kernel ->
kernel' case, the new code observes this is a neutral operation and
avoids touching the reference count.

PSI defaults to a FIFO-99 thread, reduce this to FIFO-1.
FIFO-99 is the very highest priority available to SCHED_FIFO and
it not a suitable default; it would indicate the psi work is the
most important work on the machine.
Since Real-Time tasks will have pre-allocated memory and locked it in
place, Real-Time tasks do not care about PSI. All it needs is to be

To reproduce, run the following rcutorture test:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --duration 5 --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --configs "TASKS03 TREE04"
It turns out that tick_broadcast_offline() was an innocent bystander.
After all, interrupts are supposed to be disabled throughout
take_cpu_down(), and therefore should have been disabled upon entry to
tick_offline_cpu() and thus to tick_broadcast_offline(). This suggests
that one of the CPU-hotplug notifiers was incorrectly enabling interrupts,
and leaving them enabled on return.
Some debugging code showed that the culprit was sched_cpu_dying().
It had irqs enabled after return from sched_tick_stop(). Which in turn
had irqs enabled after return from cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Which is a
wrapper around __cancel_work_timer(). Which can sleep in the case where
something else is concurrently trying to cancel the same delayed work,
and as Thomas Gleixner pointed out on IRC, sleeping is a decidedly bad
idea when you are invoked from take_cpu_down(), regardless of the state
you leave interrupts in upon return.
Code inspection located no reason why the delayed work absolutely
needed to be canceled from sched_tick_stop(): The work is not
bound to the outgoing CPU by design, given that the whole point is
to collect statistics without disturbing the outgoing CPU.
This commit therefore simply drops the cancel_delayed_work_sync() from
sched_tick_stop(). Instead, a new ->state field is added to the tick_work
structure so that the delayed-work handler function sched_tick_remote()
can avoid reposting itself. A cpu_is_offline() check is also added to
sched_tick_remote() to avoid mucking with the state of an offlined CPU
(though it does appear safe to do so). The sched_tick_start() and
sched_tick_stop() functions also update ->state, and sched_tick_start()
also schedules the delayed work if ->state indicates that it is not
already in flight.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by

On !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED configurations it is currently not possible to
move RT tasks between cgroups to which CPU controller has been attached;
but it is oddly possible to first move tasks around and then make them
RT (setschedule to FIFO/RR).
E.g.:
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1
# chrt -fp 10 $$
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# chrt -op 0 $$
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
# chrt -fp 10 $$
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
2345
2598
# chrt -p 2345
pid 2345's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO
pid 2345's current scheduling priority: 10
Also, as Michal noted, it is currently not possible to enable CPU
controller on unified hierarchy with !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED (if there
are any kernel RT threads in root cgroup, they can't be migrated to the
newly created CPU controller's root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()).
Existing code comes with a comment saying the "we don't support RT-tasks
being in separate groups". Such comment is however stale and belongs to
pre-RT_GROUP_SCHED times. Also, it doesn't make much sense for
!RT_GROUP_ SCHED configurations, since checks related to RT bandwidth
are not performed at all in these cases.
Make moving RT tasks between CPU controller groups viable by removing
special case check for RT (and DEADLINE) tasks.

No synchronisation mechanism exists between the cpuset subsystem and
calls to function __sched_setscheduler(). As such, it is possible that
new root domains are created on the cpuset side while a deadline
acceptance test is carried out in __sched_setscheduler(), leading to a
potential oversell of CPU bandwidth.
Grab cpuset_rwsem read lock from core scheduler, so to prevent
situations such as the one described above from happening.
The only exception is normalize_rt_tasks() which needs to work under
tasklist_lock and can't therefore grab cpuset_rwsem. We are fine with
this, as this function is only called by sysrq and, if that gets
triggered, DEADLINE guarantees are already gone out of the window
anyway.

We try to find an idle CPU to run the next task, but in case we don't
find an idle CPU it is better to pick a CPU which will run the task the
soonest, for performance reason.
A CPU which isn't idle but has only SCHED_IDLE activity queued on it
should be a good target based on this criteria as any normal fair task
will most likely preempt the currently running SCHED_IDLE task
immediately. In fact, choosing a SCHED_IDLE CPU over a fully idle one
shall give better results as it should be able to run the task sooner
than an idle CPU (which requires to be woken up from an idle state).
This patch updates both fast and slow paths with this optimization.

The load_balance() has a dedicated mecanism to detect when an imbalance
is due to CPU affinity and must be handled at parent level. In this case,
the imbalance field of the parent's sched_group is set.
The description of sg_imbalanced() gives a typical example of two groups
of 4 CPUs each and 4 tasks each with a cpumask covering 1 CPU of the first
group and 3 CPUs of the second group. Something like:
{ 0 1 2 3 } { 4 5 6 7 }
* * * *
But the load_balance fails to fix this UC on my octo cores system
made of 2 clusters of quad cores.
Whereas the load_balance is able to detect that the imbalanced is due to
CPU affinity, it fails to fix it because the imbalance field is cleared
before letting parent level a chance to run. In fact, when the imbalance is
detected, the load_balance reruns without the CPU with pinned tasks. But
there is no other running tasks in the situation described above and
everything looks balanced this time so the imbalance field is immediately
cleared.
The imbalance field should not be cleared if there is no other task to move
when the imbalance is detected.

To reference task_numa_work() from within init_numa_balancing(), we
need the former to be declared before the latter. Do just that.
This is a pure code movement.

The old code used RCU annotations and accessors inconsistently for
->numa_group, which can lead to use-after-frees and NULL dereferences.
Let all accesses to ->numa_group use proper RCU helpers to prevent such
issues.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.
During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.
Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

...
Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.
In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.
The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the
number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially. Without patch

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by
Dietmar Eggemann.
- Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.
- Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
power management features, including energy aware scheduling.
- Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior.
- Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
Git log for details.
