d4335581dc sched/fair: Add comments to explain select_idle_sibling()
It's not entirely obvious how the main loop in select_idle_sibling()
works on first glance. Sprinkle a few comments to explain the design
and intention behind the loop based on some conversations with Mike
and Peter.

3a47d5124a sched/fair: Fix fairness issue on migration
Pavan reported that in the presence of very light tasks (or cgroups)
the placement of migrated tasks can cause severe fairness issues.

The problem is that enqueue_entity() places the task before it updates
time, thereby it can place the task far in the past (remember that
light tasks will shoot virtual time forward at a high speed, so in
relation to the pre-existing light task, we can land far in the past).

This is done because update_curr() needs the current task, and we
might be placing the current task.

The obvious solution is to differentiate between the current and any
other task; placing the current before we update time, and placing any
other task after, such that !curr tasks end up at the current moment
in time, and not in the past.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
  significant.

  First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
  now.  Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
  each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
  periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
  scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates).  The
  "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
  work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
  now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
  scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.

  Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
  all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
  simplified quite a bit.  On top of that, the common code and data
  structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
  cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
  quite annoying problems are addressed.  In particular, the handling of
  governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
  more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
  (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).

  In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
  allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
  cpufreq.  Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
  works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
  scheduler's utilization data.  That should allow the scheduler and
  cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.

  In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
  updated too.  Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
  cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
  Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
  other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.

  Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
  including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
  and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
  optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
  ACPI tables from initrd.

  Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
  power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
  traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
     them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU

34e2c555f3 cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks
Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem
("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be
executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the
scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes.

This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers
and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage
adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things.

The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

6fe1f348b3 sched/cgroup: Fix cgroup entity load tracking tear-down
When a cgroup's CPU runqueue is destroyed, it should remove its
remaining load accounting from its parent cgroup.

The current site for doing so it unsuited because its far too late and
unordered against other cgroup removal (->css_free() will be, but we're also
in an RCU callback).

Put it in the ->css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup
destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to
userspace. The ->css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order
after the following v4.4 commit:

4142c3ebb6 sched/numa: Spread memory according to CPU and memory use
The pseudo-interleaving in NUMA placement has a fundamental problem:
using hard usage thresholds to spread memory equally between nodes
can prevent workloads from converging, or keep memory "trapped" on
nodes where the workload is barely running any more.

In order for workloads to properly converge, the memory migration
should not be stopped when nodes reach parity, but instead be
distributed according to how heavily memory is used from each node.
This way memory migration and task migration reinforce each other,
instead of one putting the brakes on the other.

Remove the hard thresholds from the pseudo-interleaving code, and
instead use a more gradual policy on memory placement. This also
seems to improve convergence of workloads that do not run flat out,
but sleep in between bursts of activity.

We still want to slow down NUMA scanning and migration once a workload
has settled on a few actively used nodes, so keep the 3/4 hysteresis
in place. Keep track of whether a workload is actively running on
multiple nodes, so task_numa_migrate does a full scan of the system
for better task placement.

In the case of running 3 SPECjbb2005 instances on a 4 node system,
this code seems to result in fairer distribution of memory between
nodes, with more memory bandwidth for each instance.

cb2517653f sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.

This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.

The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.

These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

As commit 1effd9f193 ("sched/numa: Fix unsafe get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign()") points out, the rcu_read_lock() cannot protect the
task_struct from being freed in the finish_task_switch(). And the bug
happens in the process of calculation of imp which requires the access of
p->numa_faults being freed in the following path:

do_exit()
        current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
    release_task()
        ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
    schedule()
    ...
    ...
rq->curr = next;
    context_switch()
        finish_task_switch()
            put_task_struct()
                __put_task_struct()
		    task_numa_free()

The fix here to get_task_struct() early before end of dst_rq->lock to
protect the calculation process and also put_task_struct() in the
corresponding point if finally the dst_rq->curr somehow cannot be
assigned.

Additional credit to Liang Chen who helped fix the error logic and add the
put_task_struct() to the place it missed.

0905f04eb2 sched/fair: Fix new task's load avg removed from source CPU in wake_up_new_task()
If a newly created task is selected to go to a different CPU in fork
balance when it wakes up the first time, its load averages should
not be removed from the source CPU since they are never added to
it before. The same is also applicable to a never used group entity.

Fix it in remove_entity_load_avg(): when entity's last_update_time
is 0, simply return. This should precisely identify the case in
question, because in other migrations, the last_update_time is set
to 0 after remove_entity_load_avg().

9e0e83a1ec sched/fair: Fix multiplication overflow on 32-bit systems
Make 'r' 64-bit type to avoid overflow in 'r * LOAD_AVG_MAX'
on 32-bit systems:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/sched/fair.c:2785:18
	signed integer overflow:
	87950 * 47742 cannot be represented in type 'int'

The most likely effect of this bug are bad load average numbers
resulting in weird scheduling. It's also likely that this can
persist for a longer time - until the system goes idle for
a long time so that all load avg numbers get reset.

[ This is the CFS load average metric, not the procfs output, which
  is separate. ]

aa0b7ae063 sched/fair: Disable the task group load_avg update for the root_task_group
Currently, the update_tg_load_avg() function attempts to update the
tg's load_avg value whenever the load changes even for root_task_group
where the load_avg value will never be used. This patch will disable
the load_avg update when the given task group is the root_task_group.

Running a Java benchmark with noautogroup and a 4.3 kernel on a
16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the amount of CPU time (as reported by
perf) consumed by task_tick_fair() which includes update_tg_load_avg()
decreased from 0.71% to 0.22%, a more than 3X reduction. The Max-jOPs
results also increased slightly from 983015 to 986449.

a426f99c91 sched/fair: Avoid redundant idle_cpu() call in update_sg_lb_stats()
Part of the responsibility of the update_sg_lb_stats() function is to
update the idle_cpus statistical counter in struct sg_lb_stats. This
check is done by calling idle_cpu(). The idle_cpu() function, in
turn, checks a number of fields within the run queue structure such
as rq->curr and rq->nr_running.

With the current layout of the run queue structure, rq->curr and
rq->nr_running are in separate cachelines. The rq->curr variable is
checked first followed by nr_running. As nr_running is also accessed
by update_sg_lb_stats() earlier, it makes no sense to load another
cacheline when nr_running is not 0 as idle_cpu() will always return
false in this case.

This patch eliminates this redundant cacheline load by checking the
cached nr_running before calling idle_cpu().

ad936d8658 sched/fair: Make it possible to account fair load avg consistently
The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair
class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a
task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair
class.

This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly
read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq,
ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time.

These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from
one another, so there is a definite bound on things.

525628c73b sched/fair: Modify the comment about lock assumptions in migrate_task_rq_fair()
The comment describing migrate_task_rq_fair() says that the caller
should hold p->pi_lock. But in some cases the caller can hold
task_rq(p)->lock instead of p->pi_lock. So the comment is broken and

3ea94de15c sched/core: Fix incorrect wait time and wait count statistics
At present scheduler resets task's wait start timestamp when the task
migrates to another rq.  This misleads scheduler itself into reporting
less wait time than actual by omitting time spent for waiting prior to
migration and also more wait count than actual by counting migration as
wait end event which can be seen by trace or /proc/<pid>/sched with
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y.

Carry forward migrating task's wait time prior to migration and
don't count migration as a wait end event to fix such statistics error.

In order to determine whether task is migrating mark task->on_rq with
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while dequeuing and enqueuing due to migration.

51170840fe sched/numa: Cap PTE scanning overhead to 3% of run time
There is a fundamental mismatch between the runtime based NUMA scanning
at the task level, and the wall clock time NUMA scanning at the mm level.
On a severely overloaded system, with very large processes, this mismatch
can cause the system to spend all of its time in change_prot_numa().

This can happen if the task spends at least two ticks in change_prot_numa(),
and only gets two ticks of CPU time in the real time between two scan
intervals of the mm.

This patch ensures that a task never spends more than 3% of run
time scanning PTEs. It does that by ensuring that in-between
task_numa_work() runs, the task spends at least 32x as much time on
other things than it did on task_numa_work().

This is done stochastically: if a timer tick happens, or the task
gets rescheduled during task_numa_work(), we delay a future run of
task_numa_work() until the task has spent at least 32x the amount of
CPU time doing something else, as it spent inside task_numa_work().
The longer task_numa_work() takes, the more likely it is this happens.

If task_numa_work() takes very little time, chances are low that that
code will do anything, but we will not care.

525705d15e sched/fair: Consider missed ticks in NOHZ_FULL in update_cpu_load_nohz()
Usually the tick can be stopped for an idle CPU in NOHZ. However in NOHZ_FULL
mode, a non-idle CPU's tick can also be stopped. However, update_cpu_load_nohz()
does not consider the case a non-idle CPU's tick has been stopped at all.

This patch makes the update_cpu_load_nohz() know if the calling path comes
from NOHZ_FULL or idle NOHZ.

5954327548 sched/fair: Prepare __update_cpu_load() to handle active tickless
There are some cases where distance between ticks is more than one tick
while the CPU is not idle, e.g. full NOHZ.

However __update_cpu_load() assumes it is the idle tickless case if the
distance between ticks is more than 1, even though it can be the active
tickless case as well. Thus in the active tickless case, updating the CPU
load will not be performed correctly.

Where the current code assumes the load for each tick is zero, this is
(obviously) not true in non-idle tickless case. We can approximately
consider the load ~= this_rq->cpu_load[0] during tickless in non-idle
tickless case.

25b3e5a334 sched/numa: Fix math underflow in task_tick_numa()
The NUMA balancing code implements delays in scanning by
advancing curr->node_stamp beyond curr->se.sum_exec_runtime.

With unsigned math, that creates an underflow, which results
in task_numa_work being queued all the time, even when we
don't want to.

Avoiding the math underflow makes it possible to reduce CPU
overhead in the NUMA balancing code.

fde7d22e01 sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities
Commit:

  9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

led to an overly small weight for interactive group entities. The bad case
can be easily reproduced when a number of CPU hogs compete for the CPUs
at the same time (thanks to Mike). This is largly because the task group's
load average tracking cross CPUs lags behind the real changes.

To fix this we accelerate the group share distribution process by using
the load.weight of the cfs_rq. This may increase the entire group's
share, but we have to do so to protect the (fragile) interactive
tasks, especially from CPU hogs.

4620f8c1fd sched/numa: Limit the amount of virtual memory scanned in task_numa_work()
Currently task_numa_work() scans up to numa_balancing_scan_size_mb worth
of memory per invocation, but only counts memory areas that have at
least one PTE that is still present and not marked for numa hint faulting.

It will skip over arbitarily large amounts of memory that are either
unused, full of swap ptes, or full of PTEs that were already marked
for NUMA hint faults but have not been faulted on yet.

This can cause excessive amounts of CPU use, due to there being
essentially no upper limit on the scan rate of very large processes
that are not yet in a phase where they are actively accessing old
memory pages (eg. they are still initializing their data).

Avoid that problem by placing an upper limit on the amount of virtual
memory that task_numa_work() scans in each invocation. This can be a
higher limit than "pages", to ensure the task still skips over unused
areas fairly quickly.

While we are here, also fix the "nr_pte_updates" logic, so it only
counts page ranges with ptes in them.

006cdf025a sched/fair: Optimize per entity utilization tracking
Currently the load_{sum,avg} and util_{sum,avg} tracking is asymmetric
in that load tracking gets a 2^10 unit from the weight, but util gets
no such factor.

This results in more lost bits for util scaling and asymmetric scaling
rules.

Fix this by removing shifts, such that we gain the 2^10 factor from
scaling. There is no risk of overflowing the u32 as the max value is
now LOAD_AVG_MAX << 10, which is still well below UINT_MAX.

This further entangles the assumption that both LOAD and CAPACITY
shifts are the same (and 10) so put in an assertion for that.

This fixes the math for the LOAD_RESOLUTION != 0 case.

6115c793ca sched/fair: Optimize __update_load_avg()
Prior to this patch; the line:

	scaled_delta_w = (delta_w * 1024) >> 10;

which is the result of the default arch_scale_freq_capacity()
function, turns into:

    1b03:	49 89 d1             	mov    %rdx,%r9
    1b06:	49 c1 e1 0a          	shl    $0xa,%r9
    1b0a:	49 c1 e9 0a          	shr    $0xa,%r9

Which is silly; when made unsigned int, GCC recognises this as
pointless ops and fails to emit them (confirmed on 4.9.3 and 5.1.1).

Furthermore, afaict unsigned is actually the correct type for these
fields anyway, as we've explicitly ruled out negative delta's earlier
in this function.

9e91d61d9b sched/fair: Name utilization related data and functions consistently
Use the advent of the per-entity load tracking rewrite to streamline the
naming of utilization related data and functions by using
{prefix_}util{_suffix} consistently. Moreover call both signals
({se,cfs}.avg.util_avg) utilization.

e3279a2e6d sched/fair: Make utilization tracking CPU scale-invariant
Besides the existing frequency scale-invariance correction factor, apply
CPU scale-invariance correction factor to utilization tracking to
compensate for any differences in compute capacity. This could be due to
micro-architectural differences (i.e. instructions per seconds) between
cpus in HMP systems (e.g. big.LITTLE), and/or differences in the current
maximum frequency supported by individual cpus in SMP systems. In the
existing implementation utilization isn't comparable between cpus as it
is relative to the capacity of each individual CPU.

Each segment of the sched_avg.util_sum geometric series is now scaled
by the CPU performance factor too so the sched_avg.util_avg of each
sched entity will be invariant from the particular CPU of the HMP/SMP
system on which the sched entity is scheduled.

With this patch, the utilization of a CPU stays relative to the max CPU
performance of the fastest CPU in the system.

In contrast to utilization (sched_avg.util_sum), load
(sched_avg.load_sum) should not be scaled by compute capacity. The
utilization metric is based on running time which only makes sense when
cpus are _not_ fully utilized (utilization cannot go beyond 100% even if
more tasks are added), where load is runnable time which isn't limited
by the capacity of the CPU and therefore is a better metric for
overloaded scenarios. If we run two nice-0 busy loops on two cpus with
different compute capacity their load should be similar since their
compute demands are the same. We have to assume that the compute demand
of any task running on a fully utilized CPU (no spare cycles = 100%
utilization) is high and the same no matter of the compute capacity of
its current CPU, hence we shouldn't scale load by CPU capacity.

8cd5601c50 sched/fair: Convert arch_scale_cpu_capacity() from weak function to #define
Bring arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in line with the recent change of its
arch_scale_freq_capacity() sibling in commit dfbca41f34 ("sched:
Optimize freq invariant accounting") from weak function to #define to
allow inlining of the function.

While at it, remove the ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feature as well. With the
change to #define there isn't a straightforward way to allow runtime
switch between an arch implementation and the default implementation of
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() using sched_feature. The default was to use
the arch-specific implementation, but only the arm architecture provides
one and that is essentially equivalent to the default implementation.

e0f5f3afd2 sched/fair: Make load tracking frequency scale-invariant
Apply frequency scaling correction factor to per-entity load tracking to
make it frequency invariant. Currently, load appears bigger when the CPU
is running slower which affects load-balancing decisions.

Each segment of the sched_avg.load_sum geometric series is now scaled by
the current frequency so that the sched_avg.load_avg of each sched entity
will be invariant from frequency scaling.

Moreover, cfs_rq.runnable_load_sum is scaled by the current frequency as
well.

c3b9bc5bbf sched/numa: Disable sched_numa_balancing on UMA systems
Commit 2a1ed24 ("sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness")
sets sched feature NUMA to true. However this can enable NUMA hinting
faults on a UMA system.

This commit ensures that NUMA hinting faults occur only on a NUMA system
by setting/resetting sched_numa_balancing.

This commit:

  - Makes sched_numa_balancing common to CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG and
    !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. Earlier it was only in !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.

  - Checks for sched_numa_balancing instead of sched_feat(NUMA).

c5afb6a87f sched/fair: Fix nohz.next_balance update
Since commit:

  d4573c3e1c ("sched: Improve load balancing in the presence of idle CPUs")

the ILB CPU starts with the idle load balancing of other idle CPUs and
finishes with itself in order to speed up the spread of tasks in all
idle CPUs.

The this_rq->next_balance is still used in nohz_idle_balance() as an
intermediate step to gather the shortest next balance before updating
nohz.next_balance. But the former has not been updated yet and is likely to
be set with the current jiffies. As a result, the nohz.next_balance will be
set with current jiffies instead of the real next balance date. This
generates spurious kicks of nohz ilde balance.

nohz_idle_balance() must set the nohz.next_balance without taking into
account this_rq->next_balance which is not updated yet. Then, this_rq will
update nohz.next_update with its next_balance once updated and if necessary.

daa59407b5 sched/fair: Unify switched_{from,to}_fair() and task_move_group_fair()
By observing that switched_from_fair() detaches from a runqueue, and
switched_to_fair() attaches to a runqueue, we can see that
task_move_group_fair() is one followed by the other with flipping the
runqueue in between.

Therefore extract all the common bits and implement all three
functions in terms of them.

This should fix a few corner cases wrt. vruntime normalization; where,
when we take a task off of a runqueue we convert to an approximation
of lag by subtracting min_vruntime, and when placing a task on the a
runqueue to the reverse.
