sched: Fix race against ptrace_freeze_trace()
There is apparently one site that violates the rule that only current
and ttwu() will modify task->state, namely ptrace_{,un}freeze_traced()
will change task->state for a remote task.
Oleg explains:
"TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED was always protected by siglock. In
particular, ttwu(__TASK_TRACED) must be always called with siglock
held. That is why ptrace_freeze_traced() assumes it can safely do
s/TASK_TRACED/__TASK_TRACED/ under spin_lock(siglock)."
This breaks the ordering scheme introduced by commit:

sched: Add a tracepoint to track rq->nr_running
Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks ->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at: https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be found at: https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in the header a wrapper call is used and the trace/events/sched.h include is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.

sched/uclamp: Protect uclamp fast path code with static key
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
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/
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.

sched/uclamp: Fix initialization of struct uclamp_rq
struct uclamp_rq was zeroed out entirely in assumption that in the first
call to uclamp_rq_inc() they'd be initialized correctly in accordance to
default settings.
But when next patch introduces a static key to skip
uclamp_rq_{inc,dec}() until userspace opts in to use uclamp, schedutil
will fail to perform any frequency changes because the
rq->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].value is zeroed at init and stays as such. Which
means all rqs are capped to 0 by default.
Fix it by making sure we do proper initialization at init without
relying on uclamp_rq_inc() doing it later.

sched: Fix unreliable rseq cpu_id for new tasks
While integrating rseq into glibc and replacing glibc's sched_getcpu
implementation with rseq, glibc's tests discovered an issue with
incorrect __rseq_abi.cpu_id field value right after the first time
a newly created process issues sched_setaffinity.
For the records, it triggers after building glibc and running tests, and
then issuing:
for x in {1..2000} ; do posix/tst-affinity-static & done
and shows up as:
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
This is caused by the scheduler invoking __set_task_cpu() directly from
sched_fork() and wake_up_new_task(), thus bypassing rseq_migrate() which
is done by set_task_cpu().
Add the missing rseq_migrate() to both functions. The only other direct
use of __set_task_cpu() is done by init_idle(), which does not involve a
user-space task.
Based on my testing with the glibc test-case, just adding rseq_migrate()
to wake_up_new_task() is sufficient to fix the observed issue. Also add
it to sched_fork() to keep things consistent.
The reason why this never triggered so far with the rseq/basic_test
selftest is unclear.
The current use of sched_getcpu(3) does not typically require it to be
always accurate. However, use of the __rseq_abi.cpu_id field within rseq
critical sections requires it to be accurate. If it is not accurate, it
can cause corruption in the per-cpu data targeted by rseq critical
sections in user-space.

sched/core: Fix PI boosting between RT and DEADLINE tasks
syzbot reported the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6351 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:628
enqueue_task_dl+0x22da/0x38a0 kernel/sched/deadline.c:1504
At deadline.c:628 we have:
623 static inline void setup_new_dl_entity(struct sched_dl_entity *dl_se)
624 {
625 struct dl_rq *dl_rq = dl_rq_of_se(dl_se);
626 struct rq *rq = rq_of_dl_rq(dl_rq);
627
628 WARN_ON(dl_se->dl_boosted);
629 WARN_ON(dl_time_before(rq_clock(rq), dl_se->deadline));
[...]
}
Which means that setup_new_dl_entity() has been called on a task
currently boosted. This shouldn't happen though, as setup_new_dl_entity()
is only called when the 'dynamic' deadline of the new entity
is in the past w.r.t. rq_clock and boosted tasks shouldn't verify this
condition.
Digging through the PI code I noticed that what above might in fact happen
if an RT tasks blocks on an rt_mutex hold by a DEADLINE task. In the
first branch of boosting conditions we check only if a pi_task 'dynamic'
deadline is earlier than mutex holder's and in this case we set mutex
holder to be dl_boosted. However, since RT 'dynamic' deadlines are only
initialized if such tasks get boosted at some point (or if they become
DEADLINE of course), in general RT 'dynamic' deadlines are usually equal
to 0 and this verifies the aforementioned condition.
Fix it by checking that the potential donor task is actually (even if
temporary because in turn boosted) running at DEADLINE priority before
using its 'dynamic' deadline value.

sched/core: Check cpus_mask, not cpus_ptr in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), to fix mask corruption
This function is concerned with the long-term CPU mask, not the transitory mask the task might have while migrate disabled. Before this patch, if a task was migrate-disabled at the time __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() was called, and the new mask happened to be equal to the CPU that the task was running on, then the mask update would be lost.

sched: Micro optimization in pick_next_task() and in check_preempt_curr()
This introduces an optimization based on xxx_sched_class addresses
in two hot scheduler functions: pick_next_task() and check_preempt_curr().
It is possible to compare pointers to sched classes to check, which
of them has a higher priority, instead of current iterations using
for_each_class().
One more result of the patch is that size of object file becomes a little
less (excluding added BUG_ON(), which goes in __init section):

sched: Have sched_class_highest define by vmlinux.lds.h
Now that the sched_class descriptors are defined by the linker script, and this needs to be aware of the existance of stop_sched_class when SMP is enabled or not, as it is used as the "highest" priority when defined. Move the declaration of sched_class_highest to the same location in the linker script that inserts stop_sched_class, and this will also make it easier to see what should be defined as the highest class, as this linker script location defines the priorities as well.

sched: Provide sched_set_fifo()
SCHED_FIFO (or any static priority scheduler) is a broken scheduler model; it is fundamentally incapable of resource management, the one thing an OS is actually supposed to do. It is impossible to compose static priority workloads. One cannot take two well designed and functional static priority workloads and mash them together and still expect them to work. Therefore it doesn't make sense to expose the priority field; the kernel is fundamentally incapable of setting a sensible value, it needs systems knowledge that it doesn't have. Take away sched_setschedule() / sched_setattr() from modules and replace them with: - sched_set_fifo(p); create a FIFO task (at prio 50) - sched_set_fifo_low(p); create a task higher than NORMAL, which ends up being a FIFO task at prio 1. - sched_set_normal(p, nice); (re)set the task to normal This stops the proliferation of randomly chosen, and irrelevant, FIFO priorities that dont't really mean anything anyway. The system administrator/integrator, whoever has insight into the actual system design and requirements (userspace) can set-up appropriate priorities if and when needed.

kallsyms/printk: add loglvl to print_ip_sym()
Patch series "Add log level to show_stack()", v3. Add log level argument to show_stack(). Done in three stages: 1. Introducing show_stack_loglvl() for every architecture 2. Migrating old users with an explicit log level 3. Renaming show_stack_loglvl() into show_stack() Justification: - It's a design mistake to move a business-logic decision into platform realization detail. - I have currently two patches sets that would benefit from this work: Removing console_loglevel jumps in sysrq driver [1] Hung task warning before panic [2] - suggested by Tetsuo (but he probably didn't realise what it would involve). - While doing (1), (2) the backtraces were adjusted to headers and other messages for each situation - so there won't be a situation when the backtrace is printed, but the headers are missing because they have lesser log level (or the reverse). - As the result in (2) plays with console_loglevel for kdb are removed. The least important for upstream, but maybe still worth to note that every company I've worked in so far had an off-list patch to print backtrace with the needed log level (but only for the architecture they cared about). If you have other ideas how you will benefit from show_stack() with a log level - please, reply to this cover letter. See also discussion on v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20191106083538.z5nlpuf64cigxigh@pathway.suse.cz/ This patch (of 50): print_ip_sym() needs to have a log level parameter to comply with other parts being printed. Otherwise, half of the expected backtrace would be printed and other may be missing with some logging level. The following callee(s) are using now the adjusted log level: - microblaze/unwind: the same level as headers & userspace unwind. Note that pr_debug()'s there are for debugging the unwinder itself. - nds32/traps: symbol addresses are printed with the same log level as backtrace headers. - lockdep: ip for locking issues is printed with the same log level as other part of the warning. - sched: ip where preemption was disabled is printed as error like the rest part of the message. - ftrace: bug reports are now consistent in the log level being used.

arm64 updates for 5.8
- Branch Target Identification (BTI)
* Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This
allows branch targets to limit the types of branch from which
they can be called and additionally prevents branching to
arbitrary code, although kernel support requires a very recent
toolchain.
* Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly
functions are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad"
instructions.
* BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
* Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to
userspace via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader
support for the BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
* Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.
- Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
* Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each
task that holds only return addresses. This protects function
return control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
* Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
* Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.
* SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
- CPU feature detection
* Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a
concern for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on
such a system.
* Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
- Perf and PMU drivers
* Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
- Hardware errata
* Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
* Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
- Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC)
* Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
* Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
- Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)
* Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
* Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
- Pointer authentication
* Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so
that the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
* Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
- BPF backend
* Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub
instructions.
- vDSO
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.

sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu
Both Rik and Mel reported seeing ttwu() spend significant time on: smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL); Attempt to avoid this by queueing the wakeup on the CPU that owns the p->on_cpu value. This will then allow the ttwu() to complete without further waiting. Since we run schedule() with interrupts disabled, the IPI is guaranteed to happen after p->on_cpu is cleared, this is what makes it safe to queue early.

sched: Defend cfs and rt bandwidth quota against overflow
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.

scs: Move scs_overflow_check() out of architecture code
There is nothing architecture-specific about scs_overflow_check() as it's just a trivial wrapper around scs_corrupted(). For parity with task_stack_end_corrupted(), rename scs_corrupted() to task_scs_end_corrupted() and call it from schedule_debug() when CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK_is enabled, which better reflects its purpose as a debug feature to catch inadvertent overflow of the SCS. Finally, remove the unused scs_overflow_check() function entirely. This has absolutely no impact on architectures that do not support SCS (currently arm64 only).

scs: Add support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack, which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack control flow by modifying the stacks.

sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()
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.

sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs
In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or debugobjects below. Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit() from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to &init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()), but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&init_mm) in smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&init_mm) in finish_cpu().

This function is extracted from pick_next_task() to prepare for future usage by other type of task picking logic. No functional change.

sched/core: Add function to sample state of locked-down task
A running task's state can be sampled in a consistent manner (for example, for diagnostic purposes) simply by invoking smp_call_function_single() on its CPU, which may be obtained using task_cpu(), then having the IPI handler verify that the desired task is in fact still running. However, if the task is not running, this sampling can in theory be done immediately and directly. In practice, the task might start running at any time, including during the sampling period. Gaining a consistent sample of a not-running task therefore requires that something be done to lock down the target task's state. This commit therefore adds a try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() function that invokes a specified function if the specified task can be locked down, returning true if successful and if the specified function returns true. Otherwise this function simply returns false. Given that the function passed to try_invoke_on_nonrunning_task() might be invoked with a runqueue lock held, that function had better be quite lightweight. The function is passed the target task's task_struct pointer and the argument passed to try_invoke_on_locked_down_task(), allowing easy access to task state and to a location for further variables to be passed in and out. Note that the specified function will be called even if the specified task is currently running. The function can use ->on_rq and task_curr() to quickly and easily determine the task's state, and can return false if this state is not to the function's liking. The caller of the try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() would then see the false return value, and could take appropriate action, for example, trying again later or sending an IPI if matters are more urgent. It is expected that use cases such as the RCU CPU stall warning code will simply return false if the task is currently running. However, there are use cases involving nohz_full CPUs where the specified function might instead fall back to an alternative sampling scheme that relies on heavier synchronization (such as memory barriers) in the target task.

sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

sched/core: Fix reset-on-fork from RT with uclamp
uclamp_fork() resets the uclamp values to their default when the
reset-on-fork flag is set. It also checks whether the task has a RT
policy, and sets its uclamp.min to 1024 accordingly. However, during
reset-on-fork, the task's policy is lowered to SCHED_NORMAL right after,
hence leading to an erroneous uclamp.min setting for the new task if it
was forked from RT.
Fix this by removing the unnecessary check on rt_task() in
uclamp_fork() as this doesn't make sense if the reset-on-fork flag is
set.

workqueue: Remove the warning in wq_worker_sleeping()
The kernel test robot triggered a warning with the following race:
task-ctx A interrupt-ctx B
worker
-> process_one_work()
-> work_item()
-> schedule();
-> sched_submit_work()
-> wq_worker_sleeping()
-> ->sleeping = 1
atomic_dec_and_test(nr_running)
__schedule(); *interrupt*
async_page_fault()
-> local_irq_enable();
-> schedule();
-> sched_submit_work()
-> wq_worker_sleeping()
-> if (WARN_ON(->sleeping)) return
-> __schedule()
-> sched_update_worker()
-> wq_worker_running()
-> atomic_inc(nr_running);
-> ->sleeping = 0;
-> sched_update_worker()
-> wq_worker_running()
if (!->sleeping) return
In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the ->sleeping
assignment (0 -> 1 > 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the ->sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().
Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect ->sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

sched/fair: Align rq->avg_idle and rq->avg_scan_cost
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)

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

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

x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance
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
* Without it, a task looks larger if the CPU runs slower
2. PECULIARITIES OF X86
* freq invariance accounting requires knowing the ratio freq_curr/freq_max
2.1 CURRENT FREQUENCY
* Use delta_APERF / delta_MPERF * freq_base (a.k.a "BusyMHz")
2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
* It varies with time (turbo). As an approximation, we set it to a
constant, i.e. 4-cores turbo frequency.
3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR
* The invariant schedutil's formula has no feedback loop and reacts faster
to utilization changes
4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
* In some cases tasks can't reach max util despite how hard they try
5. PERFORMANCE TESTING
5.1 MACHINES
* Skylake, Broadwell, Haswell
5.2 SETUP
* baseline Linux v5.2 w/ non-invariant schedutil. Tested freq_max = 1-2-3-4-8-12
active cores turbo w/ invariant schedutil, and intel_pstate/powersave
5.3 BENCHMARK RESULTS
5.3.1 NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
* NAS Parallel Benchmark (HPC), hackbench
5.3.2 NON-NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
* tbench (10-30% better), kernbench (10-15% better),

* no regressions
5.3.3 SELECTION OF DETAILED RESULTS
5.3.4 POWER CONSUMPTION, PERFORMANCE-PER-WATT
* dbench (5% worse on one machine), kernbench (3% worse),

| 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.

gitsource 0.97 0.69 0.69 | 0.69 | 0.69
+------+
dbench is not very remarkable here, unless we notice how poorly active
intel_pstate is performing on 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA: 23% regression versus
non-invariant schedutil. We repeated that run getting consistent results. Out
of scope for the patch at hand, but deserving future investigation. Other than
that, we previously ran this campaign with Linux v5.0 and saw the patch doing
better on dbench a the time. We haven't checked closely and can only speculate
at this point.
On the NUMA boxes kernbench gets 10-15% improvements on average; we'll see in
the detailed tables that the gains concentrate on low process counts (lightly
loaded machines).
The test we call "gitsource" (running the git unit test suite, a long-running
single-threaded shell script) appears rather spectacular in this table (gains
of 30-50% depending on the machine). It is to be noted, however, that
gitsource has no adjustable parameters (such as the number of jobs in
kernbench, which we average over in order to get a single-number summary
score) and is exactly the kind of low-parallelism workload that benefits the
most from this patch. When looking at the detailed tables of kernbench or
tbench4, at low process or client counts one can see similar numbers.

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

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

In this test, which is of interest as representing shell-intensive

intel_pstate/powersave by a whopping 40% margin.
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).

with that energy. Here are tables with the ratio of performance-per-watt on

These results are overall pleasing: in plenty of cases we observe

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.

sched/fair: Prevent unlimited runtime on throttled group
When a running task is moved on a throttled task group and there is no
other task enqueued on the CPU, the task can keep running using 100% CPU
whatever the allocated bandwidth for the group and although its cfs rq is
throttled. Furthermore, the group entity of the cfs_rq and its parents are
not enqueued but only set as curr on their respective cfs_rqs.
We have the following sequence:
sched_move_task
-dequeue_task: dequeue task and group_entities.
-put_prev_task: put task and group entities.
-sched_change_group: move task to new group.
-enqueue_task: enqueue only task but not group entities because cfs_rq is
throttled.
-set_next_task : set task and group_entities as current sched_entity of
their cfs_rq.
Another impact is that the root cfs_rq runnable_load_avg at root rq stays
null because the group_entities are not enqueued. This situation will stay
the same until an "external" event triggers a reschedule. Let trigger it
immediately instead.

sched/nohz: Optimize get_nohz_timer_target()
On a machine, CPU 0 is used for housekeeping, the other 39 CPUs in the
same socket are in nohz_full mode. We can observe huge time burn in the
loop for seaching nearest busy housekeeper cpu by ftrace.
2) | get_nohz_timer_target() {
2) 0.240 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.458 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
...
2) 0.292 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.240 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.227 us | housekeeping_any_cpu();
2) + 43.460 us | }
This patch optimizes the searching logic by finding a nearest housekeeper
CPU in the housekeeping cpumask, it can minimize the worst searching time
from ~44us to < 10us in my testing. In addition, the last iterated busy
housekeeper can become a random candidate while current CPU is a better
fallback if it is a housekeeper.

timers/nohz: Update NOHZ load in remote tick
The way loadavg is tracked during nohz only pays attention to the load upon entering nohz. This can be particularly noticeable if full nohz is entered while non-idle, and then the cpu goes idle and stays that way for a long time.

sched/uclamp: Fix a bug in propagating uclamp value in new cgroups
When a new cgroup is created, the effective uclamp value wasn't updated
with a call to cpu_util_update_eff() that looks at the hierarchy and
update to the most restrictive values.
Fix it by ensuring to call cpu_util_update_eff() when a new cgroup
becomes online.
Without this change, the newly created cgroup uses the default
root_task_group uclamp values, which is 1024 for both uclamp_{min, max},
which will cause the rq to to be clamped to max, hence cause the
system to run at max frequency.
The problem was observed on Ubuntu server and was reproduced on Debian
and Buildroot rootfs.
By default, Ubuntu and Debian create a cpu controller cgroup hierarchy
and add all tasks to it - which creates enough noise to keep the rq
uclamp value at max most of the time. Imitating this behavior makes the
problem visible in Buildroot too which otherwise looks fine since it's a
minimal userspace.

"A lot of stuff has been going on this cycle, with improving the
support for networked IO (and hence unbounded request completion
times) being one of the major themes. There's been a set of fixes done
this week, I'll send those out as well once we're certain we're fully
happy with them.
This contains:
- Unification of the "normal" submit path and the SQPOLL path (Pavel)
- Support for sparse (and bigger) file sets, and updating of those
file sets without needing to unregister/register again.
- Independently sized CQ ring, instead of just making it always 2x
the SQ ring size. This makes it more flexible for networked
applications.
- Support for overflowed CQ ring, never dropping events but providing
backpressure on submits.
- Add support for absolute timeouts, not just relative ones.
- Support for generic cancellations. This divorces io_uring from
workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
generic async system call support.
- With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
built on top of that.
- Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)
- Support for linked timeouts. These abort an operation if it isn't
completed by the time noted in the linke timeout.
- Speedup tracking of poll requests
- Various cleanups making the coder easier to follow (Jackie, Pavel,
Bob, YueHaibing, me)
- Update MAINTAINERS with new io_uring list"

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

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).

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

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

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

sched/membarrier: Fix p->mm->membarrier_state racy load
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.

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

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

hmm related patches for 5.4
This is more cleanup and consolidation of the hmm APIs and the very
strongly related mmu_notifier interfaces. Many places across the tree
using these interfaces are touched in the process. Beyond that a cleanup
to the page walker API and a few memremap related changes round out the
series:
- General improvement of hmm_range_fault() and related APIs, more
documentation, bug fixes from testing, API simplification &
consolidation, and unused API removal
- Simplify the hmm related kconfigs to HMM_MIRROR and DEVICE_PRIVATE, and
make them internal kconfig selects
- Hoist a lot of code related to mmu notifier attachment out of drivers by
using a refcount get/put attachment idiom and remove the convoluted
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() and related APIs.
- General API improvement for the migrate_vma API and revision of its only
user in nouveau
- Annotate mmu_notifiers with lockdep and sleeping region debugging
Two series unrelated to HMM or mmu_notifiers came along due to
dependencies:
- Allow pagemap's memremap_pages family of APIs to work without providing
a struct device
- Make walk_page_range() and related use a constant structure for function
pointers

"Timers and timekeeping updates:
- A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be

An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
travel.
- Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
- Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
single function
- Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
affected timers accordingly.
- Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
released by the (hr)timer expiry code.

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

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