The purpose of balance_push() is to act as a filter on task selection
in the case of CPU hotplug, specifically when taking the CPU out.
It does this by (ab)using the balance callback infrastructure, with
the express purpose of keeping all the unlikely/odd cases in a single
place.
In order to serve its purpose, the balance_push_callback needs to be
(exclusively) on the callback list at all times (noting that the
callback always places itself back on the list the moment it runs,
also noting that when the CPU goes down, regular balancing concerns
are moot, so ignoring them is fine).
And here-in lies the problem, __sched_setscheduler()'s use of
splice_balance_callbacks() takes the callbacks off the list across a
lock-break, making it possible for, an interleaving, __schedule() to
see an empty list and not get filtered.

For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
just cleanups.
I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
The last change was merged May 4th.
Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.

When we use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire the rq lock and have to
update the rq clock while holding the lock, the kernel may issue
a WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.
Since we directly use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire rq lock instead of
rq_lock(), there is no corresponding change to rq->clock_update_flags.
In particular, we have obtained the rq lock of other CPUs, the
rq->clock_update_flags of this CPU may be RQCF_UPDATED at this time, and
then calling update_rq_clock() will trigger the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.
So we need to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq->clock_update_flags to avoid
the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.
For the sched_rt_period_timer() and migrate_task_rq_dl() cases
we simply replace raw_spin_rq_lock()/raw_spin_rq_unlock() with
rq_lock()/rq_unlock().
For the {pull,push}_{rt,dl}_task() cases, we add the
double_rq_clock_clear_update() function to clear RQCF_UPDATED of
rq->clock_update_flags, and call double_rq_clock_clear_update()
before double_lock_balance()/double_rq_lock() returns to avoid the
WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

Steve reported that ChromeOS encounters the forceidle balancer being
ran from rt_mutex_setprio()'s balance_callback() invocation and
explodes.
Now, the forceidle balancer gets queued every time the idle task gets
selected, set_next_task(), which is strictly too often.
rt_mutex_setprio() also uses set_next_task() in the 'change' pattern:
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(...);
However, rt_mutex_setprio() will explicitly not run this pattern on
the idle task (since priority boosting the idle task is quite insane).
Most other 'change' pattern users are pidhash based and would also not
apply to idle.
Also, the change pattern doesn't contain a __balance_callback()
invocation and hence we could have an out-of-band balance-callback,
which *should* trigger the WARN in rq_pin_lock() (which guards against
this exact anti-pattern).
So while none of that explains how this happens, it does indicate that
having it in set_next_task() might not be the most robust option.
Instead, explicitly queue the forceidle balancer from pick_next_task()
when it does indeed result in forceidle selection. Having it here,
ensures it can only be triggered under the __schedule() rq->lock
instance, and hence must be ran from that context.
This also happens to clean up the code a little, so win-win.

Both functions are doing almost the same, that is checking if admission
control is still respected.
With exclusive cpusets, dl_task_can_attach() checks if the destination
cpuset (i.e. its root domain) has enough CPU capacity to accommodate the
task.
dl_cpu_busy() checks if there is enough CPU capacity in the cpuset in
case the CPU is hot-plugged out.
dl_task_can_attach() is used to check if a task can be admitted while
dl_cpu_busy() is used to check if a CPU can be hotplugged out.
Make dl_cpu_busy() able to deal with a task and use it instead of
dl_task_can_attach() in task_can_attach().

kernel/sched/sched.h is a weird mix of ad-hoc headers included
in the middle of the header.
Two of them rely on being included in the middle of kernel/sched/sched.h,
due to definitions they require:
- "stat.h" needs the rq definitions.
- "autogroup.h" needs the task_group definition.
Move the inclusion of these two files out of kernel/sched/sched.h, and
include them in all files that require them.
Move of the rest of the header dependencies to the top of the

In this system, there are only 2 sockets. In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed. Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex. Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3. And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type. But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.
This isn't a practical problem now yet. Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot. So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT. And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in. And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes. But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.
To test the potential problem. We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()). With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels: 4
sched_max_numa_distance: 28
To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified. Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.
With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels: 2
sched_max_numa_distance: 21

sugov_update_single_{freq, perf}() contains a 'busy' filter that ensures
we don't bring the frqeuency down if there's no idle time (CPU is busy).
The problem is that with uclamp_max we will have scenarios where a busy
task is capped to run at a lower frequency and this filter prevents
applying the capping when this task starts running.
We handle this by skipping the filter when uclamp is enabled and the rq
is being capped by uclamp_max.
We introduce a new function uclamp_rq_is_capped() to help detecting when
this capping is taking effect. Some code shuffling was required to allow
using cpu_util_{cfs, rt}() in this new function.
On 2 Core SMT2 Intel laptop I see:
Without this patch:
uclampset -M 0 sysbench --test=cpu --threads = 4 run
produces a score of ~3200 consistently. Which is the highest possible.
Compiling the kernel also results in frequency running at max 3.1GHz all
the time - running uclampset -M 400 to cap it has no effect without this
patch.
With this patch:
uclampset -M 0 sysbench --test=cpu --threads = 4 run
produces a score of ~1100 with some outliers in ~1700. Uclamp max
aggregates the performance requirements, so having high values sometimes
is expected if some other task happens to require that frequency starts
running at the same time.
When compiling the kernel with uclampset -M 400 I can see the
frequencies mostly in the ~2GHz region. Helpful to conserve power and
prevent heating when not plugged in.

cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.
Commit a07630b8b2 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.
The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).
For straightforwardness, prefer to keep using `int cpu` as the function
parameter over using `struct rq *rq` which might avoid some calls to
cpu_rq(cpu) -> per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) -> RELOC_HIDE().
Update cfs_util()'s documentation and reuse it for cpu_util_cfs().
Remove cpu_util().

Adds accounting for "forced idle" time, which is time where a cookie'd
task forces its SMT sibling to idle, despite the presence of runnable
tasks.
Forced idle time is one means to measure the cost of enabling core
scheduling (ie. the capacity lost due to the need to force idle).
Forced idle time is attributed to the thread responsible for causing
the forced idle.
A few details:
- Forced idle time is displayed via /proc/PID/sched. It also requires
that schedstats is enabled.
- Forced idle is only accounted when a sibling hyperthread is held
idle despite the presence of runnable tasks. No time is charged if
a sibling is idle but has no runnable tasks.
- Tasks with 0 cookie are never charged forced idle.
- For SMT > 2, we scale the amount of forced idle charged based on the
number of forced idle siblings. Additionally, we split the time up and
evenly charge it to all running tasks, as each is equally responsible
for the forced idle.

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.
His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.
Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.
When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.
To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see
it, as can be seen below:
CPU1: CPU2:
: timer IRQ:
: do_sched_cfs_period_timer():
: :
: distribute_cfs_runtime():
: rcu_read_lock();
: :
: unthrottle_cfs_rq():
sched_offline_group(): :
: walk_tg_tree_from(…,tg_unthrottle_up,…):
list_del_rcu(&tg->list); :
(1) : list_for_each_entry_rcu(child, &parent->children, siblings)
: :
(2) list_del_rcu(&tg->siblings); :
: tg_unthrottle_up():
unregister_fair_sched_group(): struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu_of(rq)];
: :
list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg->cfs_rq[cpu]); :
: :
: if (!cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq) || cfs_rq->nr_running)
(3) : list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);
: :
: :
: :
: :
: :
(4) : rcu_read_unlock();
CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(),
specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at
(1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from
still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink
all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in
unregister_fair_sched_group(). Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of
these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on.
To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until
walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e.
after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe
to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the
dying task group any more.
On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after
unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might
run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd
ones.
This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to
trigger within minutes before.

There exist situations in which the load balance needs to know the
properties of the CPUs in a scheduling group. When using asymmetric
packing, for instance, the load balancer needs to know not only the
state of dst_cpu but also of its SMT siblings, if any.
Use the flags of the child scheduling domains to initialize scheduling
group flags. This will reflect the properties of the CPUs in the
group.
A subsequent changeset will make use of these new flags. No functional

Use a small, non-scaled min granularity for SCHED_IDLE entities, when
competing with normal entities. This reduces the latency of getting
a normal entity back on cpu, at the expense of increased context
switch frequency of SCHED_IDLE entities.
The benefit of this change is to reduce the round-robin latency for
normal entities when competing with a SCHED_IDLE entity.
Example: on a machine with HZ=1000, spawned two threads, one of which is
SCHED_IDLE, and affined to one cpu. Without this patch, the SCHED_IDLE
thread runs for 4ms then waits for 1.4s. With this patch, it runs for
1ms and waits 340ms (as it round-robins with the other thread).

THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK moved the CPU field out of thread_info, but this
causes some issues on architectures that define raw_smp_processor_id()
in terms of this field, due to the fact that #include'ing linux/sched.h
to get at struct task_struct is problematic in terms of circular
dependencies.
Given that thread_info and task_struct are the same data structure
anyway when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, let's move it back so that having
access to the type definition of struct thread_info is sufficient to
reference the CPU number of the current task.
Note that this requires THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK's definition of the
task_thread_info() helper to be updated, as task_cpu() takes a
pointer-to-const, whereas task_thread_info() (which is used to generate
lvalues as well), needs a non-const pointer. So make it a macro instead.

- The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric
scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks on
AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs.
Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their
own task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will
make sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it.
(The actual arm64 specific changes are not part of this tree.)
For other architectures there will be no change in functionality.
- Add cgroup SCHED_IDLE support
- Increase node-distance flexibility & delay determining it until a CPU
is brought online. (This enables platforms where node distance isn't
final until the CPU is only.)
- Deadline scheduler enhancements & fixes
- Misc fixes & cleanups.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric
scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks
on AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs.
Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their own
task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will make
sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it.
(The actual arm64 specific changes are not part of this tree.)
For other architectures there will be no change in functionality.
- Add cgroup SCHED_IDLE support
- Increase node-distance flexibility & delay determining it until a CPU
is brought online. (This enables platforms where node distance isn't
final until the CPU is only.)
- Deadline scheduler enhancements & fixes
- Misc fixes & cleanups.

push_rt_task() attempts to move the currently running task away if the
next runnable task has migration disabled and therefore is pinned on the
current CPU.
The current task is retrieved via get_push_task() which only checks for
nr_cpus_allowed == 1, but does not check whether the task has migration
disabled and therefore cannot be moved either. The consequence is a
pointless invocation of the migration thread which correctly observes
that the task cannot be moved.
Return NULL if the task has migration disabled and cannot be moved to
another CPU.

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.
Although userspace can carefully manage the affinity masks for such
tasks, one place where it is particularly problematic is execve()
because the CPU on which the execve() is occurring may be incompatible
with the new application image. In such a situation, it is desirable to
restrict the affinity mask of the task and ensure that the new image is
entered on a compatible CPU. From userspace's point of view, this looks
the same as if the incompatible CPUs have been hotplugged off in the
task's affinity mask. Similarly, if a subsequent execve() reverts to
a compatible image, then the old affinity is restored if it is still
valid.
In preparation for restricting the affinity mask for compat tasks on
arm64 systems without uniform support for 32-bit applications, introduce
{force,relax}_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which respectively restrict
and restore the affinity mask for a task based on the compatible CPUs.

This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups.
Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle.
0: default behavior
1: SCHED_IDLE
Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing
aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its
descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its
ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly.
Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight.
There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup
SCHED_IDLE interface:
- The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to
maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the
cgroup, not the tasks themselves.
- Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption
decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken
task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity.
A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a
non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs
the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs
other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing
matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be
improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the
perspective of a specific task).
For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches
may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities.
The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds
either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for
further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may
indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred
for preemption/placement/etc.

Eugene tripped over the case where rq_lock(), as called in a
for_each_possible_cpu() loop came apart because rq->core hadn't been
setup yet.
This is a somewhat unusual, but valid case.
Rework things such that rq->core is initialized to point at itself. IOW
initialize each CPU as a single threaded Core. CPU online will then join
the new CPU (thread) to an existing Core where needed.
For completeness sake, have CPU offline fully undo the state so as to
not presume the topology will match the next time it comes online.

It is possible for sched_getattr() to incorrectly report the state of
the reset_on_fork flag when called on a deadline task.
Indeed, if the flag was set on a deadline task using sched_setattr()
with flags (SCHED_FLAG_RESET_ON_FORK | SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS), then
p->sched_reset_on_fork will be set, but __setscheduler() will bail out
early, which means that the dl_se->flags will not get updated by
__setscheduler_params()->__setparam_dl(). Consequently, if
sched_getattr() is then called on the task, __getparam_dl() will
override kattr.sched_flags with the now out-of-date copy in dl_se->flags
and report the stale value to userspace.
To fix this, make sure to only copy the flags that are relevant to
sched_deadline to and from the dl_se->flags field.

When a task wakes up on an idle rq, uclamp_rq_util_with() would max
aggregate with rq value. But since there is no task enqueued yet, the
values are stale based on the last task that was running. When the new
task actually wakes up and enqueued, then the rq uclamp values should
reflect that of the newly woken up task effective uclamp values.
This is a problem particularly for uclamp_max because it default to
1024. If a task p with uclamp_max = 512 wakes up, then max aggregation
would ignore the capping that should apply when this task is enqueued,
which is wrong.
Fix that by ignoring max aggregation if the rq is idle since in that
case the effective uclamp value of the rq will be the ones of the task
that will wake up.

The CFS bandwidth controller limits CPU requests of a task group to
quota during each period. However, parallel workloads might be bursty
so that they get throttled even when their average utilization is under
quota. And they are latency sensitive at the same time so that
throttling them is undesired.
We borrow time now against our future underrun, at the cost of increased
interference against the other system users. All nicely bounded.
Traditional (UP-EDF) bandwidth control is something like:
(U = \Sum u_i) <= 1
This guaranteeds both that every deadline is met and that the system is
stable. After all, if U were > 1, then for every second of walltime,
we'd have to run more than a second of program time, and obviously miss
our deadline, but the next deadline will be further out still, there is
never time to catch up, unbounded fail.
This work observes that a workload doesn't always executes the full
quota; this enables one to describe u_i as a statistical distribution.
For example, have u_i = {x,e}_i, where x is the p(95) and x+e p(100)
(the traditional WCET). This effectively allows u to be smaller,
increasing the efficiency (we can pack more tasks in the system), but at
the cost of missing deadlines when all the odds line up. However, it
does maintain stability, since every overrun must be paired with an
underrun as long as our x is above the average.
That is, suppose we have 2 tasks, both specify a p(95) value, then we
have a p(95)*p(95) = 90.25% chance both tasks are within their quota and
everything is good. At the same time we have a p(5)p(5) = 0.25% chance
both tasks will exceed their quota at the same time (guaranteed deadline
fail). Somewhere in between there's a threshold where one exceeds and
the other doesn't underrun enough to compensate; this depends on the
specific CDFs.
At the same time, we can say that the worst case deadline miss, will be
\Sum e_i; that is, there is a bounded tardiness (under the assumption
that x+e is indeed WCET).
The benefit of burst is seen when testing with schbench. Default value of
kernel.sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us(5ms) and CONFIG_HZ(1000) is used.
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cgroup.procs
echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_burst_us
./schbench -m 1 -t 3 -r 20 -c 80000 -R 10
The average CPU usage is at 80%. I run this for 10 times, and got long tail
latency for 6 times and got throttled for 8 times.
Tail latencies are shown below, and it wasn't the worst case.
Latency percentiles (usec)
50.0000th: 19872
75.0000th: 21344

The interferenece when using burst is valued by the possibilities for
missing the deadline and the average WCET. Test results showed that when
there many cgroups or CPU is under utilized, the interference is
limited. More details are shown in:

This is a partial forward-port of Peter Ziljstra's work first posted
at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180530142236.667774973@infradead.org/
Currently select_idle_cpu()'s proportional scheme uses the average idle
time *for when we are idle*, that is temporally challenged. When a CPU
is not at all idle, we'll happily continue using whatever value we did
see when the CPU goes idle. To fix this, introduce a separate average
idle and age it (the existing value still makes sense for things like
new-idle balancing, which happens when we do go idle).
The overall goal is to not spend more time scanning for idle CPUs than
we're idle for. Otherwise we're inhibiting work. This means that we need to
consider the cost over all the wake-ups between consecutive idle periods.
To track this, the scan cost is subtracted from the estimated average
idle time.
The impact of this patch is related to workloads that have domains that
are fully busy or overloaded. Without the patch, the scan depth may be
too high because a CPU is not reaching idle.
Due to the nature of the patch, this is a regression magnet. It
potentially wins when domains are almost fully busy or overloaded --
at that point searches are likely to fail but idle is not being aged
as CPUs are active so search depth is too large and useless. It will
potentially show regressions when there are idle CPUs and a deep search is
beneficial. This tbench result on a 2-socket broadwell machine partially
illustates the problem

Again, higher thread counts benefit and the standard deviation
shows that results are also a lot more stable when the idle
time is aged.
The patch potentially matters when a socket was multiple LLCs as the
maximum search depth is lower. However, some of the test results were
suspiciously good (e.g. specjbb2005 gaining 50% on a Zen1 machine) and
other results were not dramatically different to other mcahines.
Given the nature of the patch, Peter's full series is not being forward
ported as each part should stand on its own. Preferably they would be
merged at different times to reduce the risk of false bisections.

During force-idle, we end up doing cross-cpu comparison of vruntimes
during pick_next_task. If we simply compare (vruntime-min_vruntime)
across CPUs, and if the CPUs only have 1 task each, we will always
end up comparing 0 with 0 and pick just one of the tasks all the time.
This starves the task that was not picked. To fix this, take a snapshot
of the min_vruntime when entering force idle and use it for comparison.
This min_vruntime snapshot will only be used for cross-CPU vruntime
comparison, and nothing else.
A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling:
During selection:
When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot.
when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot.
When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot.
Which gives:
fib fi update
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
Where:
fi: force-idled now
fib: force-idled before
So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi).
Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the
core is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to
know whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy.
So pass this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less().

If there is only one long running local task and the sibling is
forced idle, it might not get a chance to run until a schedule
event happens on any cpu in the core.
So we check for this condition during a tick to see if a sibling
is starved and then give it a chance to schedule.

Introduce task_struct::core_cookie as an opaque identifier for core
scheduling. When enabled; core scheduling will only allow matching
task to be on the core; where idle matches everything.
When task_struct::core_cookie is set (and core scheduling is enabled)
these tasks are indexed in a second RB-tree, first on cookie value
then on scheduling function, such that matching task selection always
finds the most elegible match.
NOTE: *shudder* at the overhead...
NOTE: *sigh*, a 3rd copy of the scheduling function; the alternative
is per class tracking of cookies and that just duplicates a lot of
stuff for no raisin (the 2nd copy lives in the rt-mutex PI code).

When switching on core-sched, CPUs need to agree which lock to use for
their RQ.
The new rule will be that rq->core_enabled will be toggled while
holding all rq->__locks that belong to a core. This means we need to
double check the rq->core_enabled value after each lock acquire and
retry if it changed.
This also has implications for those sites that take multiple RQ
locks, they need to be careful that the second lock doesn't end up
being the first lock.
Verify the lock pointer after acquiring the first lock, because if
they're on the same core, holding any of the rq->__lock instances will
pin the core state.
While there, change the rq->__lock order to CPU number, instead of rq
address, this greatly simplifies the next patch.

CPU scheduler marks need_resched flag to signal a schedule() on a
particular CPU. But, schedule() may not happen immediately in cases
where the current task is executing in the kernel mode (no
preemption state) for extended periods of time.
This patch adds a warn_on if need_resched is pending for more than the
time specified in sysctl resched_latency_warn_ms. If it goes off, it is
likely that there is a missing cond_resched() somewhere. Monitoring is
done via the tick and the accuracy is hence limited to jiffy scale. This
also means that we won't trigger the warning if the tick is disabled.

Use the new cpu_dying() state to simplify and fix the balance_push()
vs CPU hotplug rollback state.
Specifically, we currently rely on notifiers sched_cpu_dying() /
sched_cpu_activate() to terminate balance_push, however if the
cpu_down() fails when we're past sched_cpu_deactivate(), it should
terminate balance_push at that point and not wait until we hit
sched_cpu_activate().
Similarly, when cpu_up() fails and we're going back down, balance_push
should be active, where it currently is not.
So instead, make sure balance_push is enabled below SCHED_AP_ACTIVE
(when !cpu_active()), and gate it's utility with cpu_dying().

A significant portion of __calc_delta() time is spent in the loop
shifting a u64 by 32 bits. Use `fls` instead of iterating.
This is ~7x faster on benchmarks.
The generic `fls` implementation (`generic_fls`) is still ~4x faster
than the loop.
Architectures that have a better implementation will make use of it. For
example, on x86 we get an additional factor 2 in speed without dedicated
implementation.
On GCC, the asm versions of `fls` are about the same speed as the
builtin. On Clang, the versions that use fls are more than twice as
slow as the builtin. This is because the way the `fls` function is
written, clang puts the value in memory:

Syzbot reported a handful of occurrences where an sd->nr_balance_failed can
grow to much higher values than one would expect.
A successful load_balance() resets it to 0; a failed one increments
it. Once it gets to sd->cache_nice_tries + 3, this *should* trigger an
active balance, which will either set it to sd->cache_nice_tries+1 or reset
it to 0. However, in case the to-be-active-balanced task is not allowed to
run on env->dst_cpu, then the increment is done without any further
modification.
This could then be repeated ad nauseam, and would explain the absurdly high
values reported by syzbot (86, 149). VincentG noted there is value in
letting sd->cache_nice_tries grow, so the shift itself should be
fixed. That means preventing:
"""
If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal
to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined.
"""
Thus we need to cap the shift exponent to
BITS_PER_TYPE(typeof(lefthand)) - 1.

The HRTICK feature has traditionally been servicing configurations that
need precise preemptions point for NORMAL tasks. More recently, the
feature has been extended to also service DEADLINE tasks with stringent
runtime enforcement needs (e.g., runtime < 1ms with HZ=1000).
Enabling HRTICK sched feature currently enables the additional timer and
task tick for both classes, which might introduced undesired overhead
for no additional benefit if one needed it only for one of the cases.
Separate HRTICK sched feature in two (and leave the traditional case
name unmodified) so that it can be selectively enabled when needed.
With:
$ echo HRTICK > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

With:

Hung tasks and RCU stall cases were reported on systems which were not
100% busy. Investigation of such unexpected cases (no sign of potential
starvation caused by tasks hogging the system) pointed out that the
periodic sched tick timer wasn't serviced anymore after a certain point
and that caused all machinery that depends on it (timers, RCU, etc.) to
stop working as well. This issues was however only reproducible if
HRTICK was enabled.
Looking at core dumps it was found that the rbtree of the hrtimer base
used also for the hrtick was corrupted (i.e. next as seen from the base
root and actual leftmost obtained by traversing the tree are different).
Same base is also used for periodic tick hrtimer, which might get "lost"
if the rbtree gets corrupted.
Much alike what described in commit 1f71addd34 ("tick/sched: Do not
mess with an enqueued hrtimer") there is a race window between
hrtimer_set_expires() in hrtick_start and hrtimer_start_expires() in
__hrtick_restart() in which the former might be operating on an already
queued hrtick hrtimer, which might lead to corruption of the base.
Use hrtick_start() (which removes the timer before enqueuing it back) to
ensure hrtick hrtimer reprogramming is entirely guarded by the base
lock, so that no race conditions can occur.

Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no
real compelling reason to make it only available for RT.
There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in
order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce
it implicitly.
Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible
variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.

In order to minimize the interference of migrate_disable() on lower
priority tasks, which can be deprived of runtime due to being stuck
below a higher priority task. Teach the RT/DL balancers to push away
these higher priority tasks when a lower priority task gets selected
to run on a freshly demoted CPU (pull).
This adds migration interference to the higher priority task, but
restores bandwidth to system that would otherwise be irrevocably lost.
Without this it would be possible to have all tasks on the system
stuck on a single CPU, each task preempted in a migrate_disable()
section with a single high priority task running.
This way we can still approximate running the M highest priority tasks
on the system.
Migrating the top task away is (ofcourse) still subject to
migrate_disable() too, which means the lower task is subject to an
interference equivalent to the worst case migrate_disable() section.

kthreads away for power control purposes.
Add a mechanism which waits until all tasks which should leave the CPU
after the CPU active flag is cleared have moved to a different online CPU.

In preparation for migrate_disable(), make sure only per-cpu kthreads
are allowed to run on !active CPUs.
This is ran (as one of the very first steps) from the cpu-hotplug
task which is a per-cpu kthread and completion of the hotplug
operation only requires such tasks.
This constraint enables the migrate_disable() implementation to wait
for completion of all migrate_disable regions on this CPU at hotplug
time without fear of any new ones starting.
This replaces the unlikely(rq->balance_callbacks) test at the tail of
context_switch with an unlikely(rq->balance_work), the fast path is

The intent of balance_callback() has always been to delay executing
balancing operations until the end of the current rq->lock section.
This is because balance operations must often drop rq->lock, and that
isn't safe in general.
However, as noted by Scott, there were a few holes in that scheme;
balance_callback() was called after rq->lock was dropped, which means
another CPU can interleave and touch the callback list.
Rework code to call the balance callbacks before dropping rq->lock
where possible, and otherwise splice the balance list onto a local
stack.
This guarantees that the balance list must be empty when we take
rq->lock. IOW, we'll only ever run our own balance callbacks.

Florian reported that all of kernel/sched/ is rebuild when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is changed, which, while not a bug is
unexpected. This is due to us including vmlinux.lds.h.
Jakub explained that the problem is that we put the alignment
requirement on the type instead of on a variable. Type alignment is a
minimum, the compiler is free to pick any larger alignment for a
specific instance of the type (eg. the variable).
So force the type alignment on all individual variable definitions and
remove the undesired dependency on vmlinux.lds.h.

}
But under CONFIG_SMP, dl_bw is per root domain , but not per CPU,
dl_b->total_bw is the allocated bandwidth of the whole root domain.
Instead, we should compare dl_b->total_bw against "cpus*new_bw",
where 'cpus' is the number of CPUs of the root domain.
Also, below annotation(in kernel/sched/sched.h) implied implementation
only appeared in SCHED_DEADLINE v2[1], then deadline scheduler kept

meaningless and misleading, update it.
* With respect to SMP, the bandwidth is given on a per-CPU basis,

There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/
While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.
As soon as the user start using util clamp by:
1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup
We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.
This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.
SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq->uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.
In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.
The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling
algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization.
This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed
to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous
systems.
A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity
to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms
period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity).
Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission
control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if:
CPU original capacity / 1024 >= task runtime / task deadline
Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which
meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration.
On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission
control should be retained.

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) admission control ensures that
sum of reserved CPU bandwidth < x * M
where
x = /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_{runtime,period}_us
M = # CPUs in root domain.
DL admission control works well for homogeneous systems where the
capacity of all CPUs are equal (1024). I.e. bounded tardiness for DL
and non-starvation of non-DL tasks is guaranteed.
But on heterogeneous systems where capacity of CPUs are different it
could fail by over-allocating CPU time on smaller capacity CPUs.
On an Arm big.LITTLE/DynamIQ system DL tasks can easily starve other
tasks making it unusable.
Fix this by explicitly considering the CPU capacity in the DL admission
test by replacing M with the root domain CPU capacity sum.

The previous commit:
c6e7bd7afaeb: ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
avoids spinning on p->on_rq when the task is descheduling, but only if the
wakee is on a CPU that does not share cache with the waker.
This patch offloads the activation of the wakee to the CPU that is about to
go idle if the task is the only one on the runqueue. This potentially allows
the waker task to continue making progress when the wakeup is not strictly
synchronous.
This is very obvious with netperf UDP_STREAM running on localhost. The
waker is sending packets as quickly as possible without waiting for any
reply. It frequently wakes the server for the processing of packets and
when netserver is using local memory, it quickly completes the processing
and goes back to idle. The waker often observes that netserver is on_rq
and spins excessively leading to a drop in throughput.
This is a comparison of 5.7-rc6 against "sched: Optimize ttwu() spinning
on p->on_cpu" and against this patch labeled vanilla, optttwu-v1r1 and
localwakelist-v1r2 respectively.

Note that the average wakeup delay is quite small on both the vanilla
kernel and with the two patches applied. However, there are significant
outliers with the vanilla kernel with the maximum one measured as 1615
milliseconds with a vanilla kernel but never worse than 0.362 ms with
both patches applied and a much higher rate of context switching.
Similarly a separate profile of cycles showed that 2.83% of all cycles
were spent in try_to_wake_up() with almost half of the cycles spent
on spinning on p->on_rq. With the two patches, the percentage of cycles
spent in try_to_wake_up() drops to 1.13%

When users write some huge number into cpu.cfs_quota_us or
cpu.rt_runtime_us, overflow might happen during to_ratio() shifts of
schedulable checks.
to_ratio() could be altered to avoid unnecessary internal overflow, but
min_cfs_quota_period is less than 1 << BW_SHIFT, so a cutoff would still
be needed. Set a cap MAX_BW for cfs_quota_us and rt_runtime_us to
prevent overflow.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The scheduler IPI has grown weird and wonderful over the years, time
for spring cleaning.
Move all the non-trivial stuff out of it and into a regular smp function
call IPI. This then reduces the schedule_ipi() to most of it's former NOP
glory and ensures to keep the interrupt vector lean and mean.
Aside of that avoiding the full irq_enter() in the x86 IPI implementation
is incorrect as scheduler_ipi() can be instrumented. To work around that
scheduler_ipi() had an irq_enter/exit() hack when heavy work was
pending. This is gone now.

This is mostly a revert of commit:
baa9be4ffb ("sched/fair: Fix throttle_list starvation with low CFS quota")
The primary use of distribute_running was to determine whether to add
throttled entities to the head or the tail of the throttled list. Now
that we always add to the tail, we can remove this field.
The other use of distribute_running is in the slack_timer, so that we
don't start a distribution while one is already running. However, even
in the event that this race occurs, it is fine to have two distributions
running (especially now that distribute grabs the cfs_b->lock to
determine remaining quota before assigning).

sched/core.c uses update_avg() for rq->avg_idle and sched/fair.c uses an
open-coded version (with the exact same decay factor) for
rq->avg_scan_cost. On top of that, select_idle_cpu() expects to be able to
compare these two fields.
The only difference between the two is that rq->avg_scan_cost is computed
using a pure division rather than a shift. Turns out it actually matters,
first of all because the shifted value can be negative, and the standard
has this to say about it:
"""
The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. [...] If E1
has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is
implementation-defined.
"""
Not only this, but (arithmetic) right shifting a negative value (using 2's
complement) is *not* equivalent to dividing it by the corresponding power
of 2. Let's look at a few examples:
-4 -> 0xF..FC
-4 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 != -4 / 8
-8 -> 0xF..F8
-8 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 == -8 / 8
-9 -> 0xF..F7
-9 >> 3 -> 0xF..FE == -2 != -9 / 8
Make update_avg() use a division, and export it to the private scheduler
header to reuse it where relevant. Note that this still lets compilers use
a shift here, but should prevent any unwanted surprise. The disassembly of
select_idle_cpu() remains unchanged on arm64, and ttwu_do_wakeup() gains 2
instructions; the diff sort of looks like this:
- sub x1, x1, x0
+ subs x1, x1, x0 // set condition codes
+ add x0, x1, #0x7
+ csel x0, x0, x1, mi // x0 = x1 < 0 ? x0 : x1
add x0, x3, x0, asr #3
which does the right thing (i.e. gives us the expected result while still
using an arithmetic shift)

result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.
- Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
task placement on thermally overloaded systems.
- Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)
- Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

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.

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.

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 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.

Implement arch_scale_freq_capacity() for 'modern' x86. This function
is used by the scheduler to correctly account usage in the face of
DVFS.
The present patch addresses Intel processors specifically and has positive
performance and performance-per-watt implications for the schedutil cpufreq
governor, bringing it closer to, if not on-par with, the powersave governor
from the intel_pstate driver/framework.
Large performance gains are obtained when the machine is lightly loaded and
no regression are observed at saturation. The benchmarks with the largest
gains are kernel compilation, tbench (the networking version of dbench) and
shell-intensive workloads.

| 1. FREQUENCY INVARIANCE: MOTIVATION
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For example; suppose a CPU has two frequencies: 500 and 1000 Mhz. When
running a task that would consume 1/3rd of a CPU at 1000 MHz, it would
appear to consume 2/3rd (or 66.6%) when running at 500 MHz, giving the
false impression this CPU is almost at capacity, even though it can go
faster [*]. In a nutshell, without frequency scale-invariance tasks look
larger just because the CPU is running slower.
[*] (footnote: this assumes a linear frequency/performance relation; which
everybody knows to be false, but given realities its the best approximation
we can make.)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. PECULIARITIES OF X86
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Accounting for frequency changes in PELT signals requires the computation of
the ratio freq_curr / freq_max. On x86 neither of those terms is readily
available.
2.1 CURRENT FREQUENCY
====================
Since modern x86 has hardware control over the actual frequency we run
at (because amongst other things, Turbo-Mode), we cannot simply use
the frequency as requested through cpufreq.
Instead we use the APERF/MPERF MSRs to compute the effective frequency
over the recent past. Also, because reading MSRs is expensive, don't
do so every time we need the value, but amortize the cost by doing it
every tick.
2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
=================
Obtaining freq_max is also non-trivial because at any time the hardware can
provide a frequency boost to a selected subset of cores if the package has
enough power to spare (eg: Turbo Boost). This means that the maximum frequency
available to a given core changes with time.
The approach taken in this change is to arbitrarily set freq_max to a constant
value at boot. The value chosen is the "4-cores (4C) turbo frequency" on most
microarchitectures, after evaluating the following candidates:
* 1-core (1C) turbo frequency (the fastest turbo state available)
* around base frequency (a.k.a. max P-state)
* something in between, such as 4C turbo
To interpret these options, consider that this is the denominator in
freq_curr/freq_max, and that ratio will be used to scale PELT signals such as
util_avg and load_avg. A large denominator will undershoot (util_avg looks a
bit smaller than it really is), viceversa with a smaller denominator PELT
signals will tend to overshoot. Given that PELT drives frequency selection
in the schedutil governor, we will have:
freq_max set to | effect on DVFS
--------------------+------------------
1C turbo | power efficiency (lower freq choices)
base freq | performance (higher util_avg, higher freq requests)
4C turbo | a bit of both
4C turbo proves to be a good compromise in a number of benchmarks (see below).
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once an architecture implements a frequency scale-invariant utilization (the
PELT signal util_avg), schedutil switches its frequency selection formula from
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_curr * util [non-invariant util signal]
to
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * util [invariant util signal]
where, in the second formula, freq_max is set to the 1C turbo frequency (max
turbo). The advantage of the second formula, whose usage we unlock with this
patch, is that freq_next doesn't depend on the current frequency in an
iterative fashion, but can jump to any frequency in a single update. This
absence of feedback in the formula makes it quicker to react to utilization
changes and more robust against pathological instabilities.
Compare it to the update formula of intel_pstate/powersave:
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * Busy%
where again freq_max is 1C turbo and Busy% is the percentage of time not spent
idling (calculated with delta_MPERF / delta_TSC); essentially the same as
invariant schedutil, and largely responsible for intel_pstate/powersave good
reputation. The non-invariant schedutil formula is derived from the invariant
one by approximating util_inv with util_raw * freq_curr / freq_max, but this
has limitations.
Testing shows improved performances due to better frequency selections when
the machine is lightly loaded, and essentially no change in behaviour at
saturation / overutilization.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
It's been shown that it is possible to create pathological scenarios where a
CPU-bound task cannot reach max utilization, if the normalizing factor
freq_max is fixed to a constant value (see [Lelli-2018]).
If freq_max is set to 4C turbo as we do here, one needs to peg at least 5
cores in a package doing some busywork, and observe that none of those task
will ever reach max util (1024) because they're all running at less than the
4C turbo frequency.
While this concern still applies, we believe the performance benefit of
frequency scale-invariant PELT signals outweights the cost of this limitation.

5.2 SETUP
=========
* The baseline is Linux v5.2 with schedutil (non-invariant) and the intel_pstate
driver in passive mode.
* The rationale for choosing the various freq_max values to test have been to
try all the 1-2-3-4C turbo levels (note that 1C and 2C turbo are identical
on all machines), plus one more value closer to base_freq but still in the
turbo range (8C turbo for both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA).
* In addition we've run all tests with intel_pstate/powersave for comparison.
* The filesystem is always XFS, the userspace is openSUSE Leap 15.1.
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA is capable of HWP (Hardware-Managed P-States), so the runs
with active intel_pstate on this machine use that.
This gives, in terms of combinations tested on each machine:
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA
* Baseline: Linux v5.2, non-invariant schedutil, intel_pstate passive
* intel_pstate active + powersave + HWP
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 1C turbo
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 3C turbo
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 4C turbo
* both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA
* [same as 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA, but no HWP capable]
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 8C turbo
(which on 48x-HASWELL-NUMA is the same as 12C turbo, or "all cores turbo")
5.3 BENCHMARK RESULTS
=====================
5.3.1 NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
------------------------
Tests that didn't show any measurable difference in performance on any of the
test machines between non-invariant schedutil and our patch are:
* NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) using either MPI or openMP for IPC, any
computational kernel
* flexible I/O (FIO)
* hackbench (using threads or processes, and using pipes or sockets)
5.3.2 NON-NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
----------------------------
What follow are summary tables where each benchmark result is given a score.
* A tilde (~) means a neutral result, i.e. no difference from baseline.
* Scores are computed with the ratio result_new / result_baseline, so a tilde
means a score of 1.00.
* The results in the score ratio are the geometric means of results running
the benchmark with different parameters (eg: for kernbench: using 1, 2, 4,
... number of processes; for pgbench: varying the number of clients, and so
on).
* The first three tables show higher-is-better kind of tests (i.e. measured in
operations/second), the subsequent three show lower-is-better kind of tests
(i.e. the workload is fixed and we measure elapsed time, think kernbench).
* "gitsource" is a name we made up for the test consisting in running the
entire unit tests suite of the Git SCM and measuring how long it takes. We
take it as a typical example of shell-intensive serialized workload.
* In the "I_PSTATE" column we have the results for intel_pstate/powersave. Other
columns show invariant schedutil for different values of freq_max. 4C turbo
is circled as it's the value we've chosen for the final implementation.

+------+
In the table above we see that active intel_pstate is slightly better than our
4C-turbo patch (both in reference to the baseline non-invariant schedutil) on
read-only pgbench and much better on tbench. Both cases are notable in which
it shows that lowering our freq_max (to 8C-turbo and 12C-turbo on
80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA respectively) helps invariant
schedutil to get closer.
If we ignore active intel_pstate and focus on the comparison with baseline
alone, there are several instances of double-digit performance improvement.

+------+
dbench is not very remarkable here, unless we notice how poorly active
intel_pstate is performing on 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA: 23% regression versus
non-invariant schedutil. We repeated that run getting consistent results. Out
of scope for the patch at hand, but deserving future investigation. Other than
that, we previously ran this campaign with Linux v5.0 and saw the patch doing
better on dbench a the time. We haven't checked closely and can only speculate
at this point.
On the NUMA boxes kernbench gets 10-15% improvements on average; we'll see in
the detailed tables that the gains concentrate on low process counts (lightly
loaded machines).
The test we call "gitsource" (running the git unit test suite, a long-running
single-threaded shell script) appears rather spectacular in this table (gains
of 30-50% depending on the machine). It is to be noted, however, that
gitsource has no adjustable parameters (such as the number of jobs in
kernbench, which we average over in order to get a single-number summary
score) and is exactly the kind of low-parallelism workload that benefits the
most from this patch. When looking at the detailed tables of kernbench or
tbench4, at low process or client counts one can see similar numbers.

This is one of the cases where the patch still can't surpass active
intel_pstate, not even when freq_max is as low as 12C-turbo. Otherwise, gains are
visible up to 16 clients and the saturated scenario is the same as baseline.
The scores in the summary table from the previous sections are ratios of
geometric means of the results over different clients, as seen in this table.

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

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

These results are overall pleasing: in plenty of cases we observe
performance-per-watt improvements. The few regressions (read/write pgbench and
dbench on the Broadwell machine) are of small magnitude. kernbench loses a few
percentage points (it has a 10-15% performance improvement, but apparently the
increase in power consumption is larger than that). tbench4 and gitsource, which
benefit the most from the patch, keep a positive score in this table which is
a welcome surprise; that suggests that in those particular workloads the
non-invariant schedutil (and active intel_pstate, too) makes some rather
suboptimal frequency selections.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 6. MICROARCH'ES ADDRESSED HERE
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The patch addresses Xeon Core processors that use MSR_PLATFORM_INFO and
MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT to advertise their base frequency and turbo frequencies
respectively. This excludes the recent Xeon Scalable Performance processors
line (Xeon Gold, Platinum etc) whose MSRs have to be parsed differently.
Subsequent patches will address:
* Xeon Scalable Performance processors and Atom Goldmont/Goldmont Plus
* Xeon Phi (Knights Landing, Knights Mill)
* Atom Silvermont

The current helper returns (CPU) rq utilization with uclamp restrictions
taken into account. A uclamp task utilization helper would be quite
helpful, but this requires some renaming.
Prepare the code for the introduction of a uclamp_task_util() by renaming
the existing uclamp_util_with() to uclamp_rq_util_with().

Vincent pointed out recently that the canonical type for utilization
values is 'unsigned long'. Internally uclamp uses 'unsigned int' values for
cache optimization, but this doesn't have to be exported to its users.
Make the uclamp helpers that deal with utilization use and return unsigned
long values.

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.

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.

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
by 0-day).

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().

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 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.

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.

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.
