When a system is lightly loaded (i.e. no more than 1 job per cpu),
attempt to pull job to a cpu before putting it to idle is unnecessary and
can be skipped. This patch adds an indicator so the scheduler can know
when there's no more than 1 active job is on any CPU in the system to
skip needless job pulls.
On a 4 socket machine with a request/response kind of workload from
clients, we saw about 0.13 msec delay when we go through a full load
balance to try pull job from all the other cpus. While 0.1 msec was
spent on processing the request and generating a response, the 0.13 msec
load balance overhead was actually more than the actual work being done.
This overhead can be skipped much of the time for lightly loaded systems.
With this patch, we tested with a netperf request/response workload that
has the server busy with half the cpus in a 4 socket system. We found
the patch eliminated 75% of the load balance attempts before idling a cpu.
The overhead of setting/clearing the indicator is low as we already gather
the necessary info while we call add_nr_running() and update_sd_lb_stats.()
We switch to full load balance load immediately if any cpu got more than
one job on its run queue in add_nr_running. We'll clear the indicator
to avoid load balance when we detect no cpu's have more than one job
when we scan the work queues in update_sg_lb_stats(). We are aggressive
in turning on the load balance and opportunistic in skipping the load
balance.

distribute_cfs_runtime() intentionally only hands out enough runtime to
bring each cfs_rq to 1 ns of runtime, expecting the cfs_rqs to then take
the runtime they need only once they actually get to run. However, if
they get to run sufficiently quickly, the period timer is still in
distribute_cfs_runtime() and no runtime is available, causing them to
throttle. Then distribute has to handle them again, and this can go on
until distribute has handed out all of the runtime 1ns at a time, which
takes far too long.
Instead allow access to the same runtime that distribute is handing out,
accepting that corner cases with very low quota may be able to spend the
entire cfs_b->runtime during distribute_cfs_runtime, meaning that the
runtime directly handed out by distribute_cfs_runtime was over quota. In
addition, if a cfs_rq does manage to throttle like this, make sure the
existing distribute_cfs_runtime no longer loops over it again.

Commit ac1bea8578 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.
This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

The first thing task_numa_migrate() does is check to see if there is
CPU capacity available on the preferred node, in order to move the
task there.
However, if the preferred node is all busy, we would skip considering
that node for tasks swaps in the subsequent loop. This prevents NUMA
convergence of tasks on busy systems.
However, swapping locations with a task on our preferred nid, when
the preferred nid is busy, is perfectly fine.
The fix is to also look for a CPU on our preferred nid when it is
totally busy.
This changes "perf bench numa mem -p 4 -t 20 -m -0 -P 1000" from
not converging in 15 minutes on my 4 node system, to converging in
10-20 seconds.

A full dynticks CPU is allowed to stop its tick when a single task runs.
Meanwhile when a new task gets enqueued, the CPU must be notified so that
it can restart its tick to maintain local fairness and other accounting
details.
This notification is performed by way of an IPI. Then when the target
receives the IPI, we expect it to see the new value of rq->nr_running.
Hence the following ordering scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
write rq->running get IPI
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
send IPI read rq->nr_running
But Paul Mckenney says that nowadays IPIs imply a full barrier on
all architectures. So we can safely remove this pair and rely on the
implicit barriers that come along IPI send/receive. Lets
just comment on this new assumption.

When a new timer is enqueued on a full dynticks target, that CPU must
re-evaluate the next tick to handle the timer correctly.
This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this
happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make
it call irq_exit().
As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use
the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job
as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be
handy and readily available here.
If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still
turn that timer kick into an empty IPI.

[ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like
99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few.
The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a
reliable indication that the idle task is polling. Once that's done,
the rest is reasonably straightforward. ]
When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the
work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over.
However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we
don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it
up and have the 'idle' loop do the work.
So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet)
set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.

Currently, the only real guarantee provided by the polling bit is
that, if you hold rq->lock and the polling bit is set, then you can
set need_resched to force a reschedule.
The only reason the lock is needed is that the idle thread might not
be running at all when setting its need_resched bit, and rq->lock
keeps it pinned.
This is easy to fix: just clear the polling bit before scheduling.
Now the idle thread's polling bit is only ever set when
rq->curr == rq->idle.

This contains the architecture visible changes. Incidentally, only ARM
takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and
therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM
specific file. The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden
by anyone.
Replacements are as follows:
arch_scale_freq_power --> arch_scale_freq_capacity
arch_scale_smt_power --> arch_scale_smt_capacity
SCHED_POWER_SCALE --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
SCHED_POWER_SHIFT --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed
to "capacity" as appropriate.

The capacity of a CPU/group should be some intrinsic value that doesn't
change with task placement. It is like a container which capacity is
stable regardless of the amount of liquid in it (its "utilization")...
unless the container itself is crushed that is, but that's another story.

The current no_hz idle load balancer do load balancing for *all* idle cpus,
even though the time due to load balance for a particular
idle cpu could be still a while in the future. This introduces a much
higher load balancing rate than what is necessary. The patch
changes the behavior by only doing idle load balancing on
behalf of an idle cpu only when it is due for load balancing.
On SGI's systems with over 3000 cores, the cpu responsible for idle balancing
got overwhelmed with idle balancing, and introduces a lot of OS noise
to workloads. This patch fixes the issue.

sched_cfs_period_timer() reads cfs_b->period without locks before calling
do_sched_cfs_period_timer(), and similarly unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs()
would read cfs_b->period without the right lock. Thus a simultaneous
change of bandwidth could cause corruption on any platform where ktime_t
or u64 writes/reads are not atomic.
Extend cfs_b->lock from do_sched_cfs_period_timer() to include the read of
cfs_b->period to solve that issue; unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() can just
use 1 rather than the exact quota, much like distribute_cfs_runtime()
does.
There is also an unlocked read of cfs_b->runtime_expires, but a race
there would only delay runtime expiry by a tick. Still, the comparison
should just be != anyway, which clarifies even that problem.

tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() sets cfs_b->timer_active to 0 to
force the period timer restart. It's not safe, because
can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccb:
"__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock,
waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer
runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take
rq->lock, resulting in deadlock."
Three CPUs must be involved:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
take rq->lock period timer fired
... take cfs_b lock
... ... tg_set_cfs_bandwidth()
throttle_cfs_rq() release cfs_b lock take cfs_b lock
... distribute_cfs_runtime() timer_active = 0
take cfs_b->lock wait for rq->lock ...
__start_cfs_bandwidth()
{wait for timer callback
break if timer_active == 1}
So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked.
Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can
wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and
restart the timer explicitly.

Throttled task is still on rq, and it may be moved to other cpu
if user is playing with sched_setaffinity(). Therefore, unlocked
task_rq() access makes the race.
Juri Lelli reports he got this race when dl_bandwidth_enabled()
was not set.
Other thing, pointed by Peter Zijlstra:
"Now I suppose the problem can still actually happen when
you change the root domain and trigger a effective affinity
change that way".
To fix that we do the same as made in __task_rq_lock(). We do not
use __task_rq_lock() itself, because it has a useful lockdep check,
which is not correct in case of dl_task_timer(). We do not need
pi_lock locked here. This case is an exception (PeterZ):
"The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because
we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are
thus free of ttwu races".

timer_delete_hook(timer);
kc->timer_del(timer) := posix_cpu_timer_del()
put_task_struct()
__put_task_struct()
task_numa_free()
spin_lock(&grp->lock);
Which means that task_numa_free() can be called with interrupts
disabled, which means that we should not be using spin_lock_irq() but
spin_lock_irqsave() instead. Otherwise we are enabling interrupts while

Affine wakeups have the potential to interfere with NUMA placement.
If a task wakes up too many other tasks, affine wakeups will get
disabled.
However, regardless of how many other tasks it wakes up, it gets
re-enabled once a second, potentially interfering with NUMA
placement of other tasks.
By decaying wakee_wakes in half instead of zeroing it, we can avoid
that problem for some workloads.

Update the migrate_improves/degrades_locality() functions with
knowledge of pseudo-interleaving.
Do not consider moving tasks around within the set of group's active
nodes as improving or degrading locality. Instead, leave the load
balancer free to balance the load between a numa_group's active nodes.
Also, switch from the group/task_weight functions to the group/task_fault
functions. The "weight" functions involve a division, but both calls use
the same divisor, so there's no point in doing that from these functions.
On a 4 node (x10 core) system, performance of SPECjbb2005 seems
unaffected, though the number of migrations with 2 8-warehouse wide
instances seems to have almost halved, due to the scheduler running
each instance on a single node.

Currently the NUMA balancing code only allows moving tasks between NUMA
nodes when the load on both nodes is in balance. This breaks down when
the load was imbalanced to begin with.
Allow tasks to be moved between NUMA nodes if the imbalance is small,
or if the new imbalance is be smaller than the original one.

If the sched_clock time starts at a large value, the kernel will spin
in sched_avg_update for a long time while rq->age_stamp catches up
with rq->clock.
The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise
that it starts at zero. So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up
to avoid this.
I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at
zero. This might also be an issue on reboots on processors that don't
re-initialize the timer to zero on reset, and when using kexec.

Currently, in idle_balance(), we update rq->next_balance when we pull_tasks.
However, it is also important to update this in the !pulled_tasks case too.
When the CPU is "busy" (the CPU isn't idle), rq->next_balance gets computed
using sd->busy_factor (so we increase the balance interval when the CPU is
busy). However, when the CPU goes idle, rq->next_balance could still be set
to a large value that was computed with the sd->busy_factor.
Thus, we need to also update rq->next_balance in idle_balance() in the cases
where !pulled_tasks too, so that rq->next_balance gets updated without taking
the busy_factor into account when the CPU is about to go idle.
This patch makes rq->next_balance get updated independently of whether or
not we pulled_task. Also, we add logic to ensure that we always traverse
at least 1 of the sched domains to get a proper next_balance value for
updating rq->next_balance.
Additionally, since load_balance() modifies the sd->balance_interval, we
need to re-obtain the sched domain's interval after the call to
load_balance() in rebalance_domains() before we update rq->next_balance.
This patch adds and uses 2 new helper functions, update_next_balance() and
get_sd_balance_interval() to update next_balance and obtain the sched
domain's balance_interval.

Jet Chen has reported a kernel panics when booting qemu-system-x86_64 with
kvm64 cpu. A panic occured while building the sched_domain.
In sched_init_numa, we create a new topology table in which both default
levels and numa levels are copied. The last row of the table must have a null
pointer in the mask field.
The current implementation doesn't add this last row in the computation of the
table size. So we add 1 row in the allocation size that will be used as the
last row of the table. The kzalloc will ensure that the mask field is NULL.

On smaller systems, the top level sched domain will be an affine
domain, and select_idle_sibling is invoked for every SD_WAKE_AFFINE
wakeup. This seems to be working well.
On larger systems, with the node distance between far away NUMA nodes
being > RECLAIM_DISTANCE, select_idle_sibling is only called if the
waker and the wakee are on nodes less than RECLAIM_DISTANCE apart.
This patch leaves in place the policy of not pulling the task across
nodes on such systems, while fixing the issue that select_idle_sibling
is not called at all in certain circumstances.
The code will look for an idle CPU in the same CPU package as the
CPU where the task ran previously.

migrated since the it last ran, then exec_start is a clock_task from

Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations
with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns)
can cause a system freeze for some amount of time.
The problem is that in the interface we have
u64 sched_runtime;
while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with
budget overruns)
s64 runtime;
At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in
the second. The cast turns out with negative values when
sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy
right from the start.
Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound
(s64)(a - b) < 0
we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}.
This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always
below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone).
It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in
__checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds
and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between
values is too big.

The documented[1] behavior of sched_attr() in the proposed man page text is:
sched_attr::size must be set to the size of the structure, as in
sizeof(struct sched_attr), if the provided structure is smaller
than the kernel structure, any additional fields are assumed
'0'. If the provided structure is larger than the kernel structure,
the kernel verifies all additional fields are '0' if not the
syscall will fail with -E2BIG.
As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for
for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that
error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no
other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU
CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states. Fortunately,
every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state.
Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight
for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption,
and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well.
This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes
cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call
rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations.
This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of
RCU grace periods.

Because mwait_idle_with_hints() gets called from !idle context it must
call current_clr_polling(). This however means that resched_task() is
very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling:
CPU0 CPU1
if (current_set_polling_and_test())
goto out;
__monitor(&ti->flags);
if (!need_resched())
__mwait(eax, ecx);
set_tsk_need_resched(p);
smp_mb();
out:
current_clr_polling();
if (!tsk_is_polling(p))
smp_send_reschedule(cpu);
So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed
IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some).
Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED
and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set.
Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word,
contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly
succeed in a single go.

It was found that when running some workloads (such as AIM7) on large
systems with many cores, CPUs do not remain idle for long. Thus, tasks
can wake/get enqueued while doing idle balancing.
In this patch, while traversing the domains in idle balance, in
addition to checking for pulled_task, we add an extra check for
this_rq->nr_running for determining if we should stop searching for
tasks to pull. If there are runnable tasks on this rq, then we will
stop traversing the domains. This reduces the chance that idle balance
delays a task from running.
This patch resulted in approximately a 6% performance improvement when
running a Java Server workload on an 8 socket machine.

the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated

We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method
which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed).
We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform
that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can
be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load
balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags
configuration of some levels.
For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu,
a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags
that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology
flags are:
SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
SD_NUMA
SD_ASYM_PACKING
Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the
sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU
and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for
load balancing than its children.

Setting the numa_preferred_node for a task in task_numa_migrate
does nothing on a 2-node system. Either we migrate to the node
that already was our preferred node, or we stay where we were.
On a 4-node system, it can slightly decrease overhead, by not
calling the NUMA code as much. Since every node tends to be
directly connected to every other node, running on the wrong
node for a while does not do much damage.
However, on an 8 node system, there are far more bad nodes
than there are good ones, and pretending that a second choice
is actually the preferred node can greatly delay, or even
prevent, a workload from converging.
The only time we can safely pretend that a second choice
node is the preferred node is when the task is part of a
workload that spans multiple NUMA nodes.

The NUMA code is smart enough to distribute the memory of workloads
that span multiple NUMA nodes across those NUMA nodes.
However, it still has a pretty high scan rate for such workloads,
because any memory that is left on a node other than the node of
the CPU that faulted on the memory is counted as non-local, which
causes the scan rate to go up.
Counting the memory on any node where the task's numa group is
actively running as local, allows the scan rate to slow down
once the application is settled in.
This should reduce the overhead of the automatic NUMA placement
code, when a workload spans multiple NUMA nodes.

"The current code will call pick_next_task_fair a second time in the
slow path if we did not pull any task in our first try. This is
really unnecessary as we already know no task can be pulled and it
doubles the delay for the cpu to enter idle.
We instrumented some network workloads and that saw that
pick_next_task_fair is frequently called twice before a cpu enters
idle. The call to pick_next_task_fair can add non trivial latency as
it calls load_balance which runs find_busiest_group on an hierarchy of
sched domains spanning the cpus for a large system. For some 4 socket
systems, we saw almost 0.25 msec spent per call of pick_next_task_fair
before a cpu can be idled."
Optimize the second call away for the common case and document the
dependency.

The check at the beginning of cpupri_find() makes sure that the task_pri
variable does not exceed the cp->pri_to_cpu array length. But that length
is CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES not MAX_RT_PRIO, where it will miss the last two
priorities in that array.
As task_pri is computed from convert_prio() which should never be bigger
than CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES, if the check should cause a panic if it is
hit.

yield_task_dl() is broken:
o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero;
o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer()
will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time.
Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning:
if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new)
goto unlock;
So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually
yielded forever.
To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded
the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing
at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between
"good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled)
and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be
stopped.

Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to:
for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++)
irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq);
It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle
functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying
attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cefa ("sched:
Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat")
So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at
once.
As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context
wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these
back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all
kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does
not make sense at all for fine grained accounting. Frederic, can you
please take care of that?

Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes
blacklist at kernel build time.
The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
placed after the function definition:
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function);
Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline
functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro
for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller.
When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function
address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section.
Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the
macro (because there is no "size" information), those
are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

{inc,dec}_rt_tasks() used to count entities which are directly queued

There is no problem here, but now we want to count number of all tasks
which are actually queued under the rt_rq in all the hierarchy (except
throttled rt queues).
Empty queues are not able to be queued and all of the places, which
use ->rt_nr_running, just compare it with zero, so we do not break

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.
Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.
So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().
This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.
This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.
Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was

indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h

provide a global accessible timer device. That allows those
systems to put CPUs into deep idle states where the per cpu timer
device stops.
- A few NOHZ_FULL related improvements to the timer wheel
- The usual updates to timer devices found in ARM SoCs
- Small improvements and updates all over the place"

There are only two users of get_nohz_timer_target(): timer and hrtimer. Both
call it under same circumstances, i.e.
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
if (!pinned && get_sysctl_timer_migration() && idle_cpu(this_cpu))
return get_nohz_timer_target();
#endif
So, it makes more sense to get all this as part of get_nohz_timer_target()
instead of duplicating code at two places. For this another parameter is
required to be passed to this routine, pinned.

When update_rq_clock_task() accounts the pending steal time for a task,
it converts the steal delta from nsecs to tick then from tick to nsecs.
There is no apparent good reason for doing that though because both
the task clock and the prev steal delta are u64 and store values
in nsecs.
So lets remove the needless conversion.

The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on
jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t
is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in
jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a
value in nsecs.
As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would
be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs.
As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two
guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and
same CPU.
In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to
cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API.
Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have
a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted
value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

I decided to run my tests on linux-next, and my wakeup_rt tracer was
broken. After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was:
linux-next commit c365c292d0
"sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()"
And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had
no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with
sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER
priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found:
- p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
- p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
With no
+ p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
+ p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio
can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the
p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the
task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority.
The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called,
otherwise the class wont be changed.
Also added fix to newprio to include a check for deadline policy that
was missing. This change was suggested by Juri Lelli.

1) Single cpu machine case.
When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked
because of throttling, we enter in endless loop.
pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL.
In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry
if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running)
return RETRY_TASK;
(rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes
throttled).
No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here,
because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are
disabled.
2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock
rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled.
The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT
classes instead of checking for sum.

The problems:
1) We check for rt_nr_running before call of put_prev_task().
If previous task is RT, its rt_rq may become throttled
and dequeued after this call.
In case of p is from rt->rq this just causes picking a task
from throttled queue, but in case of its rt_rq is child
we are guaranteed catch BUG_ON.
2) The same with deadline class. The only difference we operate
on only dl_rq.
This patch fixes all the above problems and it adds a small skip in the
DL update like we've already done for RT class:
if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0))
return;
This will optimize sequential update_curr_dl() calls a little.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable/enable() in sched_clock_cpu().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are
traced and this causes trace_clock() users (and probably others) to
go into an infinite recursion. Systems with a stable sched_clock()
are not affected.
This problem is similar to that fixed by upstream commit 95ef1e5292

Michael spotted that the idle_balance() push down created a task
priority problem.
Previously, when we called idle_balance() before pick_next_task() it
wasn't a problem when -- because of the rq->lock droppage -- an rt/dl
task slipped in.
Similarly for pre_schedule(), rt pre-schedule could have a dl task
slip in.
But by pulling it into the pick_next_task() loop, we'll not try a
higher task priority again.
Cure this by creating a re-start condition in pick_next_task(); and
triggering this from pick_next_task_{rt,fair}().
It also fixes a live-lock where we get stuck in pick_next_task_fair()
due to idle_balance() seeing !0 nr_running but there not actually
being any fair tasks about.

The struct sched_avg of struct rq is only used in case group
scheduling is enabled inside __update_tg_runnable_avg() to update
per-cpu representation of a task group. I.e. that there is no need to
maintain the runnable avg of a rq in the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED case.
This patch guards struct sched_avg of struct rq and
update_rq_runnable_avg() with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
There is an extra empty definition for update_rq_runnable_avg()
necessary for the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_SMP case.
The function print_cfs_group_stats() which prints out struct sched_avg
of struct rq is already guarded with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

Kirill Tkhai noted:
Since deadline tasks share rt bandwidth, we must care about
bandwidth timer set. Otherwise rt_time may grow up to infinity
in update_curr_dl(), if there are no other available RT tasks
on top level bandwidth.
RT task were in fact throttled right after they got enqueued,
and never executed again (rt_time never again went below rt_runtime).
Peter then proposed to accrue DL execution on rt_time only when
rt timer is active, and proposed a patch (this patch is a slight
modification of that) to implement that behavior. While this
solves Kirill problem, it has a drawback.
Indeed, Kirill noted again:
It looks we may get into a situation, when all CPU time is shared
between RT and DL tasks:
rt_runtime = n
rt_period = 2n
| RT working, DL sleeping | DL working, RT sleeping |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (repeat)
|--------------------------|------------------------------|
| (rt_bw timer is running) | (rt_bw timer is not running) |
No time for fair tasks at all.
While this can happen during the first period, if rq is always backlogged,
RT tasks won't have the opportunity to execute anymore: rt_time reached
rt_runtime during (1), suppose after (2) RT is enqueued back, it gets
throttled since rt timer didn't fire, replenishment is from now on eaten up
by DL tasks that accrue their execution on rt_time (while rt timer is
active - we have an RT task waiting for replenishment). FAIR tasks are
not touched after this first period. Ok, this is not ideal, and the situation
is even worse!
What above (the nice case), practically never happens in reality, where
your rt timer is not aligned to tasks periods, tasks are in general not
periodic, etc.. Long story short, you always risk to overload your system.
This patch is based on Peter's idea, but exploits an additional fact:
if you don't have RT tasks enqueued, it makes little sense to continue
incrementing rt_time once you reached the upper limit (DL tasks have their
own mechanism for throttling).
This cures both problems:
- no matter how many DL instances in the past, you'll have an rt_time
slightly above rt_runtime when an RT task is enqueued, and from that
point on (after the first replenishment), the task will normally execute;
- you can still eat up all bandwidth during the first period, but not
anymore after that, remember that DL execution will increment rt_time
till the upper limit is reached.
The situation is still not perfect! But, we have a simple solution for now,
that limits how much you can jeopardize your system, as we keep working
towards the right answer: RT groups scheduled using deadline servers.

dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0
which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met.
If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without
schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be
incorrectly adjusted twice.
In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing
past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of
CPU time.
This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of
!se->on_rq.

The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the
properties of this function, especially when compared to
smp_call_function_single().
The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main
point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd
in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the
purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously.
As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature
comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the
IPIs on this csd.
Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect
these properties.
