554cecaf73 sched/nohz: Correctly initialize 'next_balance' in 'nohz' idle balancer
The 'next_balance' field of 'nohz' idle balancer must be initialized
to jiffies. Since jiffies is initialized to negative 300 seconds the
'nohz' idle balancer does not run for the first 300s (5mins) after
bootup. If no new processes are spawed or no idle cycles happen, the
load on the cpus will remain unbalanced for that duration.

367456c756 sched: Ditch per cgroup task lists for load-balancing
Per cgroup load-balance has numerous problems, chief amongst them that
there is no real sane order in them. So stop pretending it makes sense
and enqueue all tasks on a single list.

This also allows us to more easily fix the fwd progress issue
uncovered by the lock-break stuff. Rotate the list on failure to
migreate and limit the total iterations to nr_running (which with
releasing the lock isn't strictly accurate but close enough).

Also add a filter that skips very light tasks on the first attempt
around the list, this attempts to avoid shooting whole cgroups around
without affecting over balance.

c5905afb0e static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

8c79a045fd sched/events: Revert trace_sched_stat_sleeptime()
Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime")
added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint.

It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because
of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch
because the tracepoint was not active.

It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side
effects of:

-               se->statistics.sleep_start = 0;
...
-               se->statistics.block_start = 0;

Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler
fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant
instrumentation.

Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed
by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp
difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.

4ec4412e1e sched: Ensure cpu_power periodic update
With a lot of small tasks, the softirq sched is nearly never called
when no_hz is enabled. In this case load_balance() is mainly called
with the newly_idle mode which doesn't update the cpu_power.

Add a next_update field which ensure a maximum update period when
there is short activity.

Having stale cpu_power information can skew the load-balancing
decisions, this is cured by the guaranteed update.

71325960d1 sched/nohz: Fix nohz cpu idle load balancing state with cpu hotplug
With the recent nohz scheduler changes, rq's nohz flag
'NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED' and its associated state doesn't get cleared
immediately after the cpu exits idle. This gets cleared as part
of the next tick seen on that cpu.

For the cpu offline support, we need to clear this state
manually. Fix it by registering a cpu notifier, which clears the
nohz idle load balance state for this rq explicitly during the
CPU_DYING notification.

There won't be any nohz updates for that cpu, after the
CPU_DYING notification. But lets be extra paranoid and skip
updating the nohz state in the select_nohz_load_balancer() if
the cpu is not in active state anymore.

bced76aeac sched: Fix lockup by limiting load-balance retries on lock-break
Eric and David reported dead machines and traced it to commit
a195f004 ("sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking"), it turns out
there's still a scenario where we can end up re-trying forever.

Since there is no strict forward progress guarantee in the
load-balance iteration we can get stuck re-retrying the same
task-set over and over.

Creating a forward progress guarantee with the existing
structure is somewhat non-trivial, for now simply terminate the
retry loop after a few tries.

1ac9bc6943 sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime
If CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is defined, the kernel maintains
information about how long the task was sleeping or
in the case of iowait, blocking in the kernel before
getting woken up.

This will be useful for sleep time profiling.

Note: this information is only provided for sched_fair.
Other scheduling classes may choose to provide this in
the future.

Note: the delay includes the time spent on the runqueue
as well.

a195f004e9 sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking
The current lock break relies on contention on the rq locks, something
which might never come because we've got IRQs disabled. Or will be
very likely because on anything with more than 2 cpus a synchronized
load-balance pass will very likely cause contention on the rq locks.

Also the sched_nr_migrate thing fails when it gets trapped the loops
of either the cgroup muck in load_balance_fair() or the move_tasks()
load condition.

Instead, use the new lb_flags field to propagate break/abort
conditions for all these loops and create a new loop outside the irq
disabled on the break being required.

518cd62341 sched: Only queue remote wakeups when crossing cache boundaries
Mike reported a 13% drop in netperf TCP_RR performance due to the
new remote wakeup code. Suresh too noticed some performance issues
with it.

Reducing the IPIs to only cross cache domains solves the observed
performance issues.

067491b731 sched, nohz: Fix missing RCU read lock
Yong Zhang reported:

 > [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 > kernel/sched/fair.c:5091 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

This is due to the sched_domain stuff being RCU protected and
commit 0b005cf5 ("sched, nohz: Implement sched group, domain
aware nohz idle load balancing") overlooking this fact.

The sd variable only lives inside the for_each_domain() block,
so we only need to wrap that.

0b005cf54e sched, nohz: Implement sched group, domain aware nohz idle load balancing
When there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often, members of
the global nohz data structure are getting modified very frequently causing
lot of cache-line contention.

Make the nohz idle load balancing more scalabale by using the sched domain
topology and 'nr_busy_cpu's in the struct sched_group_power.

Idle load balance is kicked on one of the idle cpu's when there is atleast
one idle cpu and:

 - a busy rq having more than one task or

 - a busy rq's scheduler group that share package resources (like HT/MC
   siblings) and has more than one member in that group busy or

 - for the SD_ASYM_PACKING domain, if the lower numbered cpu's in that
   domain are idle compared to the busy ones.

This will help in kicking the idle load balancing request only when
there is a potential imbalance. And once it is mostly balanced, these kicks will
be minimized.

These changes helped improve the workload that is context switch intensive
between number of task pairs by 2x on a 8 socket NHM-EX based system.

69e1e811dc sched, nohz: Track nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_power
Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group
because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain]
and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will
be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu
belongs to.

To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters
and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is
delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy.
This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.

1c792db7f7 sched, nohz: Introduce nohz_flags in 'struct rq'
Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags
for now.

NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when
the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data
structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this
first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset.
This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently
happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there
are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often.

NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance
on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was
not being updated atomically.

Instead of going through the scheduler domain hierarchy multiple times
(for giving priority to an idle core over an idle SMT sibling in a busy
core), start with the highest scheduler domain with the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
flag and traverse the domain hierarchy down till we find an idle group.

This cleanup also addresses an issue reported by Mike where the recent
changes returned the busy thread even in the presence of an idle SMT
sibling in single socket platforms.
