We still have a few pending issues with the deadline code, one of which
is that switching between scheduling classes can 'leak' CBS state.
Close the hole by retaining the current CBS state when leaving
SCHED_DEADLINE and unconditionally programming the deadline timer.
The timer will then reset the CBS state if the task is still
!SCHED_DEADLINE by the time it hits.
If the task left SCHED_DEADLINE it will not call task_dead_dl() and
we'll not cancel the hrtimer, leaving us a pending timer in free
space. Avoid this by giving the timer a task reference, this avoids
littering the task exit path for this rather uncommon case.
In order to do this, I had to move dl_task_offline_migration() below
the replenishment, such that the task_rq()->lock fully covers that.
While doing this, I noticed that it (was) buggy in assuming a task is
enqueued and or we need to enqueue the task now. Fixing this means
select_task_rq_dl() might encounter an offline rq -- look into that.
As a result this kills cancel_dl_timer() which included a rq->lock
break.

In order to remove dropping rq->lock from the
switched_{to,from}()/prio_changed() sched_class methods, run the
balance callbacks after it.
We need to remove dropping rq->lock because its buggy,
suppose using sched_setattr()/sched_setscheduler() to change a running
task from FIFO to OTHER.
By the time we get to switched_from_rt() the task is already enqueued
on the cfs runqueues. If switched_from_rt() does pull_rt_task() and
drops rq->lock, load-balancing can come in and move our task @p to
another rq.
The subsequent switched_to_fair() still assumes @p is on @rq and bad
things will happen.
By using balance callbacks we delay the load-balancing operations
{rt,dl}x{push,pull} until we've done all the important work and the
task is fully set up.
Furthermore, the balance callbacks do not know about @p, therefore
they cannot get confused like this.

Compound pages cannot be migrated and it was not expected that such pages
be marked for NUMA balancing. This did not take into account that drivers
such as net/packet/af_packet.c may insert compound pages into userspace
with vm_insert_page. This patch tells the NUMA balancing protection
scanner to skip all VM_MIXEDMAP mappings which avoids the possibility that
compound pages are marked for migration.

Changeset a43455a1d5 ("sched/numa: Ensure task_numa_migrate() checks
the preferred node") fixes an issue where workloads would never
converge on a fully loaded (or overloaded) system.
However, it introduces a regression on less than fully loaded systems,
where workloads converge on a few NUMA nodes, instead of properly
staying spread out across the whole system. This leads to a reduction
in available memory bandwidth, and usable CPU cache, with predictable
performance problems.
The root cause appears to be an interaction between the load balancer
and NUMA balancing, where the short term load represented by the load
balancer differs from the long term load the NUMA balancing code would
like to base its decisions on.
Simply reverting a43455a1d5 would re-introduce the non-convergence
of workloads on fully loaded systems, so that is not a good option. As
an aside, the check done before a43455a1d5 only applied to a task's
preferred node, not to other candidate nodes in the system, so the
converge-on-too-few-nodes problem still happens, just to a lesser
degree.
Instead, try to compensate for the impedance mismatch between the load
balancer and NUMA balancing by only ever considering a lesser loaded
node as a destination for NUMA balancing, regardless of whether the
task is trying to move to the preferred node, or to another node.
This patch also addresses the issue that a system with a single
runnable thread would never migrate that thread to near its memory,
introduced by 095bebf61a ("sched/numa: Do not move past the balance
point if unbalanced").
A test where the main thread creates a large memory area, and spawns a
worker thread to iterate over the memory (placed on another node by
select_task_rq_fair), after which the main thread goes to sleep and
waits for the worker thread to loop over all the memory now sees the
worker thread migrated to where the memory is, instead of having all
the memory migrated over like before.
Jirka has run a number of performance tests on several systems: single
instance SpecJBB 2005 performance is 7-15% higher on a 4 node system,
with higher gains on systems with more cores per socket.
Multi-instance SpecJBB 2005 (one per node), linpack, and stream see
little or no changes with the revert of 095bebf61a and this patch.

Commit 095bebf61a ("sched/numa: Do not move past the balance point
if unbalanced") broke convergence of workloads with just one runnable
thread, by making it impossible for the one runnable thread on the
system to move from one NUMA node to another.
Instead, the thread would remain where it was, and pull all the memory
across to its location, which is much slower than just migrating the
thread to where the memory is.
The next patch has a better fix for the issue that 095bebf61a tried
to address.

The optimized task selection logic optimistically selects a new task
to run without first doing a full put_prev_task(). This is so that we
can avoid a put/set on the common ancestors of the old and new task.
Similarly, we should only call check_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle
eligible groups if they're part of the common ancestry, otherwise it
is possible to end up with no eligible task in the simple task
selection.
Imagine:
/root
/prev /next
/A /B
If our optimistic selection ends up throttling /next, we goto simple
and our put_prev_task() ends up throttling /prev, after which we're
going to bug out in set_next_entity() because there aren't any tasks
left.
Avoid this scenario by only throttling common ancestors.

Since function tracing disables preemption, it needs a safe preemption
point to use when preemption is re-enabled without worrying about tracing
recursion. Ie: to avoid tracing recursion, that preemption point can't
be traced (use of notrace qualifier) and it can't call any traceable
function before that preemption point disables preemption itself, which
disarms the recursion.
preempt_schedule() was fine until commit:
b30f0e3ffe ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers")
because PREEMPT_ACTIVE (which has the property to disable preemption
and this disarm tracing preemption recursion) was set before calling
any further function.
But that commit introduced the use of preempt_count_add/sub() functions
to set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and because these functions are called before
preemption gets a chance to be disabled, we have a tracing recursion.
preempt_schedule_context() is one of the possible preemption functions
used by tracing. Its special purpose is to avoid tracing recursion
against context tracking. Lets enhance this function to become more
generally tracing safe by disabling preemption with raw accessors, such
that no function is called before preemption gets disabled and disarm
the tracing recursion.
This function is going to become the specific tracing-safe preemption
point in further commit.

It is possible for fbq_classify_rq() to indicate that a CPU has tasks that
should be moved to another NUMA node, but for migrate_improves_locality
and migrate_degrades_locality to not identify those tasks.
This patch always gives preference to preferred node evaluations, and
only checks the number of faults when evaluating moves between two
non-preferred nodes on a larger NUMA system.
On a two node system, the number of faults is never evaluated. Either
a task is about to be pulled off its preferred node, or migrated onto
it.

In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can
stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be
(re)-started when their idle condition changes.
Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do
the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns,
and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided
to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we
end up with a 'lost' timer.
The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before
the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the
callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer.
Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd
by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course,
that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time.
Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then
everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that
is undesired.
The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active
variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface
for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

unsigned int factor;
The type used by min_t() should be 'unsigned int' and the return type
of get_update_sysctl_factor() should also be 'unsigned int' as its
call-site update_sysctl() is expecting 'unsigned int' and the values
utilizing:
'factor'
'sysctl_sched_min_granularity'
'sched_nr_latency'
'sysctl_sched_wakeup_granularity'
... are also all 'unsigned int', plus cpumask_weight() is also
returning 'unsigned int'.
So the natural type to use around here is 'unsigned int'.

function before and after entering the target state.
At the same time, remove direct invocations of idle_set_state()
from call_cpuidle().
This will allow the invocation of default_idle_call() to be

and call_cpuidle() to be simplified a bit as a result.

This is useful for locking primitives that can effect multiple
wakeups per operation and want to avoid lock internal lock contention
by delaying the wakeups until we've released the lock internal locks.
Alternatively it can be used to avoid issuing multiple wakeups, and
thus save a few cycles, in packet processing. Queue all target tasks
and wakeup once you've processed all packets. That way you avoid
waking the target task multiple times if there were multiple packets
for the same task.
Properties of a wake_q are:
- Lockless, as queue head must reside on the stack.
- Being a queue, maintains wakeup order passed by the callers. This can
be important for otherwise, in scenarios where highly contended locks
could affect any reliance on lock fairness.
- A queued task cannot be added again until it is woken up.
This patch adds the needed infrastructure into the scheduler code
and uses the new wake_list to delay the futex wakeups until
after we've released the hash bucket locks.

Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.
This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.

While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers.
Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock.
Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a
thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems
(such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time
spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats.
This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use
atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent
of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced
from 30% down to less than 1%.
Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes
sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time.
However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the
generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue.
An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually
have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks
called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

Commit 3c18d447b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in
cpuset_cpu_inactive()"), a SCHED_DEADLINE bugfix, had a logic error that
caused a regression in setting a CPU inactive during suspend. I ran into
this when a program was failing pthread_setaffinity_np() with EINVAL after
a suspend+wake up.
A simple reproducer:
$ ./a.out
sched_setaffinity: Success
$ systemctl suspend
$ ./a.out
sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument
... where ./a.out is:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <errno.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
long num_cores;
cpu_set_t cpu_set;
int ret;
num_cores = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
CPU_ZERO(&cpu_set);
CPU_SET(num_cores - 1, &cpu_set);
errno = 0;
ret = sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(cpu_set), &cpu_set);
perror("sched_setaffinity");
return ret ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
The mistake is that suspend is handled in the action ==
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN case of the switch statement in
cpuset_cpu_inactive().
However, the commit in question masked out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN
from the action, making this case dead.
The fix is straightforward.

Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly:

boost T1
T1 (prio = 20)
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30)
T1 prio = 30
....
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10)
T1 prio = 30
The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20.
Commit c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its

Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the

otherwise the scheduler has to run periodically to try to

Accordingly, when booting with nohz_full=xxx on the command

TIF_NOHZ is used by context_tracking to force syscall slow-path
on every task in order to track userspace roundtrips. As such,
it must be set on all running tasks.
It's currently explicitly inherited through context switches.
There is no need to do it in this fast-path though. The flag
could simply be set once for all on all tasks, whether they are
running or not.
Lets do this by setting the flag for the init task on early boot,
and let it propagate through fork inheritance.
While at it, mark context_tracking_cpu_set() as init code, we
only need it at early boot time.

Since cpuidle_reflect() should only be called if the idle state
to enter was selected by cpuidle_select(), there is the "reflect"
variable in cpuidle_idle_call() whose value is used to determine
whether or not that is the case.
However, if the entire code run between the conditional setting
"reflect" and the call to cpuidle_reflect() is moved to a separate
function, it will be possible to call that new function in both
branches of the conditional, in which case cpuidle_reflect() will
only need to be called from one of them too and the "reflect"
variable won't be necessary any more.
This eliminates one check made by cpuidle_idle_call() on the majority
of its invocations, so change the code as described.

cpuidle: Run tick_broadcast_exit() with disabled interrupts
ACPI / SBS: Enable battery manager when present
ACPICA: remove duplicate u8 typedef
Commit 335f49196f (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot
control function) replaced clockevents_notify() invocations in
cpuidle_idle_call() with direct calls to tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit(), but it overlooked the fact that
interrupts were already enabled before calling the latter which
led to functional breakage on systems using idle states with the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set.
Fix that by moving the invocations of tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() down into cpuidle_enter_state() where
interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is
called. Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before
running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by
the idle state's ->enter callback. Trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
that case, as we generally don't want that to happen for states
with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP set.

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca
and 80f7fdb1c7.
The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.
As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.
Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at
all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

Roman reported a 3 cpu lockup scenario involving __start_cfs_bandwidth().
The more I look at that code the more I'm convinced its crack, that
entire __start_cfs_bandwidth() thing is brain melting, we don't need to
cancel a timer before starting it, *hrtimer_start*() will happily remove
the timer for you if its still enqueued.
Removing that, removes a big part of the problem, no more ugly cancel
loop to get stuck in.
So now, if I understand things right, the entire reason you have this
cfs_b->lock guarded ->timer_active nonsense is to make sure we don't
accidentally lose the timer.
It appears to me that it should be possible to guarantee that same by
unconditionally (re)starting the timer when !queued. Because regardless
what hrtimer::function will return, if we beat it to (re)enqueue the
timer, it doesn't matter.
Now, because hrtimers don't come with any serialization guarantees we
must ensure both handler and (re)start loop serialize their access to
the hrtimer to avoid both trying to forward the timer at the same
time.
Update the rt bandwidth timer to match.
This effectively reverts: 09dc4ab039 ("sched/fair: Fix

Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with
PROTNONE, unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb
subsystem into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example
h->resv_huge_pages is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very
large number, and the free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable.
This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix
the problem. And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor
faults.

I observed that DL tasks can't be migrated to other CPUs during CPU
hotplug, in addition, task may/may not be running again if CPU is
added back.
The root cause which I found is that DL tasks will be throtted and
removed from the DL rq after comsuming all their budget, which
leads to the situation that stop task can't pick them up from the
DL rq and migrate them to other CPUs during hotplug.
The method to reproduce:
schedtool -E -t 50000:100000 -e ./test
Actually './test' is just a simple for loop. Then observe which CPU the
test task is on and offline it:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online
This patch adds the DL task migration during CPU hotplug by finding a
most suitable later deadline rq after DL timer fires if current rq is
offline.
If it fails to find a suitable later deadline rq then it falls back to
any eligible online CPU in so that the deadline task will come back
to us, and the push/pull mechanism should then move it around properly.

Hotplug operations are destructive w.r.t. cpusets. In case such an
operation is performed on a CPU belonging to an exlusive cpuset, the
DL bandwidth information associated with the corresponding root
domain is gone even if the operation fails (in sched_cpu_inactive()).
For this reason we need to move the check we currently have in
sched_cpu_inactive() to cpuset_cpu_inactive() to prevent useless
cpusets reconfiguration in the CPU_DOWN_FAILED path.

after throttling. Since the call path is:
dl_task_timer() ->
enqueue_task_dl() ->
enqueue_dl_entity() ->
replenish_dl_entity()
and replenish_dl_entity() uses dl_se's rq, we can't use current's rq
in dl_task_timer(), but we need to lock the task's previous one.

When a CPU is kicked to do nohz idle balancing, it wakes up to do load
balancing on itself, followed by load balancing on behalf of idle CPUs.
But it may end up with load after the load balancing attempt on itself.
This aborts nohz idle balancing. As a result several idle CPUs are left
without tasks till such a time that an ILB CPU finds it unfavorable to
pull tasks upon itself. This delays spreading of load across idle CPUs
and worse, clutters only a few CPUs with tasks.
The effect of the above problem was observed on an SMT8 POWER server
with 2 levels of numa domains. Busy loops equal to number of cores were
spawned. Since load balancing on fork/exec is discouraged across numa
domains, all busy loops would start on one of the numa domains. However
it was expected that eventually one busy loop would run per core across
all domains due to nohz idle load balancing. But it was observed that it
took as long as 10 seconds to spread the load across numa domains.
Further investigation showed that this was a consequence of the
following:
1. An ILB CPU was chosen from the first numa domain to trigger nohz idle
load balancing [Given the experiment, upto 6 CPUs per core could be
potentially idle in this domain.]
2. However the ILB CPU would call load_balance() on itself before
initiating nohz idle load balancing.
3. Given cores are SMT8, the ILB CPU had enough opportunities to pull
tasks from its sibling cores to even out load.
4. Now that the ILB CPU was no longer idle, it would abort nohz idle
load balancing
As a result the opportunities to spread load across numa domains were
lost until such a time that the cores within the first numa domain had
equal number of tasks among themselves. This is a pretty bad scenario,
since the cores within the first numa domain would have as many as 4
tasks each, while cores in the neighbouring numa domains would all
remain idle.
Fix this, by checking if a CPU was woken up to do nohz idle load
balancing, before it does load balancing upon itself. This way we allow
idle CPUs across the system to do load balancing which results in
quicker spread of load, instead of performing load balancing within the
local sched domain hierarchy of the ILB CPU alone under circumstances
such as above.

Currently the freq invariant accounting (in
__update_entity_runnable_avg() and sched_rt_avg_update()) get the
scale factor from a weak function call, this means that even for archs
that default on their implementation the compiler cannot see into this
function and optimize the extra scaling math away.
This is sad, esp. since its a 64-bit multiplication which can be quite
costly on some platforms.
So replace the weak function with #ifdef and __always_inline goo. This
is not quite as nice from an arch support PoV but should at least
result in compile time errors if done wrong.

When a CPU is used to handle a lot of IRQs or some RT tasks, the remaining
capacity for CFS tasks can be significantly reduced. Once we detect such
situation by comparing cpu_capacity_orig and cpu_capacity, we trig an idle
load balance to check if it's worth moving its tasks on an idle CPU.
It's worth trying to move the task before the CPU is fully utilized to
minimize the preemption by irq or RT tasks.
Once the idle load_balance has selected the busiest CPU, it will look for an
active load balance for only two cases:
- There is only 1 task on the busiest CPU.
- We haven't been able to move a task of the busiest rq.
A CPU with a reduced capacity is included in the 1st case, and it's worth to
actively migrate its task if the idle CPU has got more available capacity for
CFS tasks. This test has been added in need_active_balance.
As a sidenote, this will not generate more spurious ilb because we already
trig an ilb if there is more than 1 busy cpu. If this cpu is the only one that
has a task, we will trig the ilb once for migrating the task.
The nohz_kick_needed function has been cleaned up a bit while adding the new
test
env.src_cpu and env.src_rq must be set unconditionnally because they are used
in need_active_balance which is called even if busiest->nr_running equals 1

The scheduler tries to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle by
assuming that a task's load is SCHED_LOAD_SCALE and a CPU's capacity is
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE.
'struct sg_lb_stats:group_capacity_factor' divides the capacity of the group
by SCHED_LOAD_SCALE to estimate how many task can run in the group. Then, it
compares this value with the sum of nr_running to decide if the group is
overloaded or not.
But the 'group_capacity_factor' concept is hardly working for SMT systems, it
sometimes works for big cores but fails to do the right thing for little cores.
Below are two examples to illustrate the problem that this patch solves:
1- If the original capacity of a CPU is less than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
(640 as an example), a group of 3 CPUS will have a max capacity_factor of 2
(div_round_closest(3x640/1024) = 2) which means that it will be seen as
overloaded even if we have only one task per CPU.
2 - If the original capacity of a CPU is greater than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
(1512 as an example), a group of 4 CPUs will have a capacity_factor of 4
(at max and thanks to the fix [0] for SMT system that prevent the apparition
of ghost CPUs) but if one CPU is fully used by rt tasks (and its capacity is
reduced to nearly nothing), the capacity factor of the group will still be 4
(div_round_closest(3*1512/1024) = 5 which is cap to 4 with [0]).
So, this patch tries to solve this issue by removing capacity_factor and
replacing it with the 2 following metrics:
- The available CPU's capacity for CFS tasks which is already used by
load_balance().
- The usage of the CPU by the CFS tasks. For the latter, utilization_avg_contrib
has been re-introduced to compute the usage of a CPU by CFS tasks.
'group_capacity_factor' and 'group_has_free_capacity' has been removed and replaced
by 'group_no_capacity'. We compare the number of task with the number of CPUs and
we evaluate the level of utilization of the CPUs to define if a group is
overloaded or if a group has capacity to handle more tasks.
For SD_PREFER_SIBLING, a group is tagged overloaded if it has more than 1 task
so it will be selected in priority (among the overloaded groups). Since [1],
SD_PREFER_SIBLING is no more concerned by the computation of 'load_above_capacity'
because local is not overloaded.

Monitor the usage level of each group of each sched_domain level. The usage is
the portion of cpu_capacity_orig that is currently used on a CPU or group of
CPUs. We use the utilization_load_avg to evaluate the usage level of each
group.
The utilization_load_avg only takes into account the running time of the CFS
tasks on a CPU with a maximum value of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE when the CPU is fully
utilized. Nevertheless, we must cap utilization_load_avg which can be
temporally greater than SCHED_LOAD_SCALE after the migration of a task on this
CPU and until the metrics are stabilized.
The utilization_load_avg is in the range [0..SCHED_LOAD_SCALE] to reflect the
running load on the CPU whereas the available capacity for the CFS task is in
the range [0..cpu_capacity_orig]. In order to test if a CPU is fully utilized
by CFS tasks, we have to scale the utilization in the cpu_capacity_orig range
of the CPU to get the usage of the latter. The usage can then be compared with
the available capacity (ie cpu_capacity) to deduct the usage level of a CPU.
The frequency scaling invariance of the usage is not taken into account in this
patch, it will be solved in another patch which will deal with frequency
scaling invariance on the utilization_load_avg.

This new field 'cpu_capacity_orig' reflects the original capacity of a CPU
before being altered by rt tasks and/or IRQ
The cpu_capacity_orig will be used:
- to detect when the capacity of a CPU has been noticeably reduced so we can
trig load balance to look for a CPU with better capacity. As an example, we
can detect when a CPU handles a significant amount of irq
(with CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING) but this CPU is seen as an idle CPU by
scheduler whereas CPUs, which are really idle, are available.
- evaluate the available capacity for CFS tasks

The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute
capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled
down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity
must also be invariant with frequency scaling.
A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for
computing scale_rt_capacity.
In sched_rt_avg_update(), we now scale the RT execution time like below:
rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE * available / total
with available = total - rq->rt_avg
This has been been optimized in current code by:
scale_rt_capacity = available / (total >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT)
But we can also developed the equation like below:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - ((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / total)
and we can optimize the equation by removing SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT shift in
the computation of rq->rt_avg and scale_rt_capacity().
so rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity()
and
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - (rq->rt_avg / total)
arch_scale_frequency_capacity() will be called in the hot path of the scheduler
which implies to have a short and efficient function.
As an example, arch_scale_frequency_capacity() should return a cached value that
is updated periodically outside of the hot path.

Apply frequency scale-invariance correction factor to usage tracking.
Each segment of the running_avg_sum geometric series is now scaled by the
current frequency so the utilization_avg_contrib of each entity will be
invariant with frequency scaling.
As a result, utilization_load_avg which is the sum of utilization_avg_contrib,
becomes invariant too. So the usage level that is returned by get_cpu_usage(),
stays relative to the max frequency as the cpu_capacity which is is compared against.
Then, we want the keep the load tracking values in a 32-bit type, which implies
that the max value of {runnable|running}_avg_sum must be lower than
2^32/88761=48388 (88761 is the max weigth of a task). As LOAD_AVG_MAX = 47742,
arch_scale_freq_capacity() must return a value less than
(48388/47742) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT = 1037 (SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY = 1024).
So we define the range to [0..SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY] in order to avoid overflow.

entities is the sum of se->avg.utilization_avg_contrib for all entities on the
group runqueue.
It is _not_ influenced in any way by the task group h_load. Hence it is

Add new statistics which reflect the average time a task is running on the CPU
and the sum of these running time of the tasks on a runqueue. The latter is
named utilization_load_avg.
This patch is based on the usage metric that was proposed in the 1st
versions of the per-entity load tracking patchset by Paul Turner
<pjt@google.com> but that has be removed afterwards. This version differs from
the original one in the sense that it's not linked to task_group.
The rq's utilization_load_avg will be used to check if a rq is overloaded or
not instead of trying to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle.
Rename runnable_avg_period into avg_period as it is now used with both
runnable_avg_sum and running_avg_sum.

This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime
scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the
counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR
timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a
non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime
one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the
timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch
resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to
a non-RT scheduling class.
I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets
killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch
applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and
does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

This commit informs RCU of an outgoing CPU just before that CPU invokes

deal with outgoing CPUs passing through the scheduler after informing
RCU that they are no longer online. Note that removing the CPU from
the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time,
and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being
that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

This commit is in preparation for putting the RCU offline-handling

Current context tracking symbols are designed to express living state.
As such they are prefixed with "IN_": IN_USER, IN_KERNEL.
Now we are going to use these symbols to also express state transitions
such as context_tracking_enter(IN_USER) or context_tracking_exit(IN_USER).
But while the "IN_" prefix works well to express entering a context, it's
confusing to depict a context exit: context_tracking_exit(IN_USER)
could mean two things:
1) We are exiting the current context to enter user context.
2) We are exiting the user context
We want 2) but the reviewer may be confused and understand 1)
So lets disambiguate these symbols and rename them to CONTEXT_USER and
CONTEXT_KERNEL.

Commit 3810631332 (PM / sleep: Re-implement suspend-to-idle handling)
overlooked the fact that entering some sufficiently deep idle states
by CPUs may cause their local timers to stop and in those cases it
is necessary to switch over to a broadcast timer prior to entering
the idle state. If the cpuidle driver in use does not provide
the new ->enter_freeze callback for any of the idle states, that
problem affects suspend-to-idle too, but it is not taken into account
after the changes made by commit 3810631332.
Fix that by changing the definition of cpuidle_enter_freeze() and
re-arranging of the code in cpuidle_idle_call(), so the former does
not call cpuidle_enter() any more and the fallback case is handled
by cpuidle_idle_call() directly.

Disabling interrupts at the end of cpuidle_enter_freeze() is not
useful, because its caller, cpuidle_idle_call(), re-enables them
right away after invoking it.
To avoid that unnecessary back and forth dance with interrupts,
make cpuidle_enter_freeze() enable interrupts after calling
enter_freeze_proper() and drop the local_irq_disable() at its
end, so that all of the code paths in it end up with interrupts
enabled. Then, cpuidle_idle_call() will not need to re-enable
interrupts after calling cpuidle_enter_freeze() any more, because
the latter will return with interrupts enabled, in analogy with
cpuidle_enter().

inform the rest of the kernel that the scheduler tick can be

There is a subtle interaction between the logic introduced in commit
e63da03639 ("sched/numa: Allow task switch if load imbalance improves"),
the way the load balancer counts the load on each NUMA node, and the way
NUMA hinting faults are done.
Specifically, the load balancer only counts currently running tasks
in the load, while NUMA hinting faults may cause tasks to stop, if
the page is locked by another task.
This could cause all of the threads of a large single instance workload,
like SPECjbb2005, to migrate to the same NUMA node. This was possible
because occasionally they all fault on the same few pages, and only one
of the threads remains runnable. That thread can move to the process's
preferred NUMA node without making the imbalance worse, because nothing
else is running at that time.
The fix is to check the direction of the net moving of load, and to
refuse a NUMA move if it would cause the system to move past the point
of balance. In an unbalanced state, only moves that bring us closer
to the balance point are allowed.

Setting the root group's cpu.rt_runtime_us to 0 is a bad thing; it
would disallow the kernel creating RT tasks.
One can of course still set it to 1, which will (likely) still wreck
your kernel, but at least make it clear that setting it to 0 is not
good.
Collect both sanity checks into the one place while we're there.

Because task_group() uses a cache of autogroup_task_group(), whose
output depends on sched_class, switching classes can generate
problems.
In particular, when started as fair, the cache points to the
autogroup, so when switching to RT the tg_rt_schedulable() test fails
for every cpu.rt_{runtime,period}_us change because now the autogroup
has tasks and no runtime.
Furthermore, going back to the previous semantics of varying
task_group() with sched_class has the down-side that the sched_debug
output varies as well, even though the task really is in the
autogroup.
Therefore add an autogroup exception to tg_has_rt_tasks() -- such that
both (all) task_group() usages in sched/core now have one. And remove
all the remnants of the variable task_group() output.

io_schedule() calls blk_flush_plug() which, depending on the
contents of current->plug, can initiate arbitrary blk-io requests.
Note that this contrasts with blk_schedule_flush_plug() which requires
all non-trivial work to be handed off to a separate thread.
This makes it possible for io_schedule() to recurse, and initiating
block requests could possibly call mempool_alloc() which, in times of
memory pressure, uses io_schedule().
Apart from any stack usage issues, io_schedule() will not behave
correctly when called recursively as delayacct_blkio_start() does
not allow for repeated calls.
So:
- use ->in_iowait to detect recursion. Set it earlier, and restore
it to the old value.
- move the call to "raw_rq" after the call to blk_flush_plug().
As this is some sort of per-cpu thing, we want some chance that
we are on the right CPU
- When io_schedule() is called recurively, use blk_schedule_flush_plug()
which cannot further recurse.
- as this makes io_schedule() a lot more complex and as io_schedule()
must match io_schedule_timeout(), but all the changes in io_schedule_timeout()
and make io_schedule a simple wrapper for that.

Since the function graph tracer needs to disable preemption, it might
call preempt_schedule() after reenabling it if something triggered the
need for rescheduling in between.
Therefore we can't trace preempt_schedule() itself because we would
face a function tracing recursion otherwise as the tracer is always
called before PREEMPT_ACTIVE gets set to prevent that recursion. This is
why preempt_schedule() is tagged as "notrace".
But the same issue applies to every function called by preempt_schedule()
before PREEMPT_ACTIVE is actually set. And preempt_schedule_common() is
one such example. Unfortunately we forgot to tag it as notrace as well
and as a result we are encountering tracing recursion since it got
introduced by:
a18b5d0181 ("sched: Fix missing preemption opportunity")
Let's fix that by applying the appropriate function tag to
preempt_schedule_common().

A deadline task may be throttled and dequeued at the same time.
This happens, when it becomes throttled in schedule(), which
is called to go to sleep:
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule()
deactivate_task()
dequeue_task_dl()
update_curr_dl()
start_dl_timer()
__dequeue_task_dl()
prev->on_rq = 0;
Later the timer fires, but the task is still dequeued:
dl_task_timer()
enqueue_task_dl() /* queues on dl_rq; on_rq remains 0 */
Someone wakes it up:
try_to_wake_up()
enqueue_dl_entity()
BUG_ON(on_dl_rq())
Patch fixes this problem, it prevents queueing !on_rq tasks
on dl_rq.

Till now suspend-to-idle has not been able to save much more energy
than runtime PM because of timer interrupts that periodically bring

course, the timer interrupts are not wakeup ones, so the handling of
them can be deferred until a real wakeup interrupt happens, but at
the same time we don't want to mass-expire timers at that point.
The solution is to suspend the entire timekeeping when the last CPU
is entering an idle state and resume it when the first CPU goes out
of idle. That has to be done with care, though, so as to avoid
accessing suspended clocksources etc. end we need extra support
from idle drivers for that.

In preparation for adding support for quiescing timers in the final
stage of suspend-to-idle transitions, rework the freeze_enter()
function making the system wait on a wakeup event, the freeze_wake()
function terminating the suspend-to-idle loop and the mechanism by
which deep idle states are entered during suspend-to-idle.
First of all, introduce a simple state machine for suspend-to-idle
and make the code in question use it.
Second, prevent freeze_enter() from losing wakeup events due to race
conditions and ensure that the number of online CPUs won't change
while it is being executed. In addition to that, make it force
all of the CPUs re-enter the idle loop in case they are in idle
states already (so they can enter deeper idle states if possible).
Next, drop cpuidle_use_deepest_state() and replace use_deepest_state
checks in cpuidle_select() and cpuidle_reflect() with a single
suspend-to-idle state check in cpuidle_idle_call().
Finally, introduce cpuidle_enter_freeze() that will simply find the
deepest idle state available to the given CPU and enter it using
cpuidle_enter().

When the hypervisor pauses a virtualised kernel the kernel will observe a
jump in timebase, this can cause spurious messages from the softlockup
detector.
Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
misleading.
Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction
of the Virtual Time Base (VTB) register.
This patch (of 2):
This permits the use of arch specific clocks for which virtualised kernels
can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which
will include host execution time.

__schedule() disables preemption during its job and re-enables it
afterward without doing a preemption check to avoid recursion.
But if an event happens after the context switch which requires
rescheduling, we need to check again if a task of a higher priority
needs the CPU. A preempt irq can raise such a situation. To handle that,
__schedule() loops on need_resched().
But preempt_schedule_*() functions, which call __schedule(), also loop
on need_resched() to handle missed preempt irqs. Hence we end up with
the same loop happening twice.
Lets simplify that by attributing the need_resched() loop responsibility
to all __schedule() callers.
There is a risk that the outer loop now handles reschedules that used
to be handled by the inner loop with the added overhead of caller details
(inc/dec of PREEMPT_ACTIVE, irq save/restore) but assuming those inner
rescheduling loop weren't too frequent, this shouldn't matter. Especially
since the whole preemption path is now losing one loop in any case.

cpu_active_mask is rarely changed (only on hotplug), so remove this
operation to gain a little performance.
If there is a change in cpu_active_mask, rq_online_dl() and
rq_offline_dl() should take care of it normally, so cpudl::free_cpus
carries enough information for us.
For the rare case when a task is put onto a dying cpu (which
rq_offline_dl() can't handle in a timely fashion), it will be
handled through _cpu_down()->...->multi_cpu_stop()->migration_call()
->migrate_tasks(), preventing the task from hanging on the
dead cpu.

When we fail to start the deadline timer in update_curr_dl(), we
forget to clear ->dl_yielded, resulting in wrecked time keeping.
Since the natural place to clear both ->dl_yielded and ->dl_throttled
is in replenish_dl_entity(); both are after all waiting for that event;
make it so.
Luckily since 67dfa1b756 ("sched/deadline: Implement
cancel_dl_timer() to use in switched_from_dl()") the
task_on_rq_queued() condition in dl_task_timer() must be true, and can
therefore call enqueue_task_dl() unconditionally.

Commit 67dfa1b756 ("sched/deadline: Implement cancel_dl_timer() to
use in switched_from_dl()") removed the hrtimer_try_cancel() function
call out from init_dl_task_timer(), which gets called from
__setparam_dl().
The result is that we can now re-init the timer while its active --
this is bad and corrupts timer state.
Furthermore; changing the parameters of an active deadline task is
tricky in that you want to maintain guarantees, while immediately
effective change would allow one to circumvent the CBS guarantees --
this too is bad, as one (bad) task should not be able to affect the
others.
Rework things to avoid both problems. We only need to initialize the
timer once, so move that to __sched_fork() for new tasks.
Then make sure __setparam_dl() doesn't affect the current running
state but only updates the parameters used to calculate the next
scheduling period -- this guarantees the CBS functions as expected
(albeit slightly pessimistic).
This however means we need to make sure __dl_clear_params() needs to
reset the active state otherwise new (and tasks flipping between
classes) will not properly (re)compute their first instance.
Todo: close class flipping CBS hole.
Todo: implement delayed BW release.

Commit 8eb23b9f35 ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report
on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the
inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING,
but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it
calls schedule.
However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner
sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that
normally doesn't actually need to sleep).
And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to
TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and
working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just
sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen
every time.
In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to
basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater,
as reported by Bruno Prémont. But there may be other legacy uses of
that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never
get converted to the new model.
This fixes both cases:
- don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even
if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the
warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true.
So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))"
would trigger for every nested sleep.
- in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using
"sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used
for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change'
that is used for the debugging decision itself.
(Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we
avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the
suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test)

Currently, cpudl::free_cpus contains all CPUs during init, see

to avoid selecting the cpu outside the current root domain, because
cpus_allowed cannot be depended on when performing clustered

This patch adds cpudl_set_freecpu() and cpudl_clear_freecpu() for
changing cpudl::free_cpus when doing rq_online_dl()/rq_offline_dl(),
so we can avoid the rd->span operation when calling cpudl_find()

cpu_idle_poll() is entered into when either the cpu_idle_force_poll is set or
tick_check_broadcast_expired() returns true. The exit condition from
cpu_idle_poll() is tif_need_resched().
However this does not take into account scenarios where cpu_idle_force_poll
changes or tick_check_broadcast_expired() returns false, without setting
the resched flag. So a cpu will be caught in cpu_idle_poll() needlessly,
thereby wasting power. Add an explicit check on cpu_idle_force_poll and
tick_check_broadcast_expired() to the exit condition of cpu_idle_poll()
to avoid this.

If an interrupt fires in cond_resched(), between the call to __schedule()
and the PREEMPT_ACTIVE count decrementation, and that interrupt sets
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, the call to preempt_schedule_irq() will be ignored
due to the PREEMPT_ACTIVE count. This kind of scenario, with irq preemption
being delayed because it's interrupting a preempt-disabled area, is
usually fixed up after preemption is re-enabled back with an explicit
call to preempt_schedule().
This is what preempt_enable() does but a raw preempt count decrement as
performed by __preempt_count_sub(PREEMPT_ACTIVE) doesn't handle delayed
preemption check. Therefore when such a race happens, the rescheduling
is going to be delayed until the next scheduler or preemption entrypoint.
This can be a problem for scheduler latency sensitive workloads.
Lets fix that by consolidating cond_resched() with preempt_schedule()
internals.

At least some gcc versions - validly afaict - warn about potentially
using max_group uninitialized: There's no way the compiler can prove
that the body of the conditional where it and max_faults get set/
updated gets executed; in fact, without knowing all the details of
other scheduler code, I can't prove this either.
Generally the necessary change would appear to be to clear max_group
prior to entering the inner loop, and break out of the outer loop when
it ends up being all clear after the inner one. This, however, seems
inefficient, and afaict the same effect can be achieved by exiting the
outer loop when max_faults is still zero after the inner loop.
[ mingo: changed the solution to zero initialization: uninitialized_var()
needs to die, as it's an actively dangerous construct: if in the future
a known-proven-good piece of code is changed to have a true, buggy
uninitialized variable, the compiler warning is then supressed...
The better long term solution is to clean up the code flow, so that
even simple minded compilers (and humans!) are able to read it without
getting a headache. ]

Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf
related callbacks have massive stack bloat.
The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to
properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we
could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled
it with minimal bits required for operation.
Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it
turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available,
making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste.
This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events
have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static
per-cpu storage instead of on-stack.
Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers
of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular
perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be
optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler.
We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs()
like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler
and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the
recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs
element to use).
One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we
allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs
pointer available and do not need another.

The original purpose of rq::skip_clock_update was to avoid 'costly' clock
updates for back to back wakeup-preempt pairs. The big problem with it
has always been that the rq variable is unaware of the context and
causes indiscrimiate clock skips.
Rework the entire thing and create a sense of context by only allowing
schedule() to skip clock updates. (XXX can we measure the cost of the
added store?)
By ensuring only schedule can ever skip an update, we guarantee we're
never more than 1 tick behind on the update.

If this runnable task is CFS-balanced to other CPUs soon afterwards,

The dl_runtime_exceeded() function is supposed to ckeck if
a SCHED_DEADLINE task must be throttled, by checking if its
current runtime is <= 0. However, it also checks if the
scheduling deadline has been missed (the current time is
larger than the current scheduling deadline), further
decreasing the runtime if this happens.
This "double accounting" is wrong:
- In case of partitioned scheduling (or single CPU), this
happens if task_tick_dl() has been called later than expected
(due to small HZ values). In this case, the current runtime is
also negative, and replenish_dl_entity() can take care of the
deadline miss by recharging the current runtime to a value smaller
than dl_runtime
- In case of global scheduling on multiple CPUs, scheduling
deadlines can be missed even if the task did not consume more
runtime than expected, hence penalizing the task is wrong
This patch fix this problem by throttling a SCHED_DEADLINE task
only when its runtime becomes negative, and not modifying the runtime

According to global EDF, tasks should be migrated between runqueues
without checking if their scheduling deadlines and runtimes are valid.
However, SCHED_DEADLINE currently performs such a check:
a migration happens doing:
deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0);
set_task_cpu(next_task, later_rq->cpu);
activate_task(later_rq, next_task, 0);
which ends up calling dequeue_task_dl(), setting the new CPU, and then
calling enqueue_task_dl().
enqueue_task_dl() then calls enqueue_dl_entity(), which calls
update_dl_entity(), which can modify scheduling deadline and runtime,
breaking global EDF scheduling.
As a result, some of the properties of global EDF are not respected:
for example, a taskset {(30, 80), (40, 80), (120, 170)} scheduled on
two cores can have unbounded response times for the third task even
if 30/80+40/80+120/170 = 1.5809 < 2
This can be fixed by invoking update_dl_entity() only in case of
wakeup, or if this is a new SCHED_DEADLINE task.

When allocating space for load_balance_mask, in sched_init, when
CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set, we've managed to spill over
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE on our 6144 core machine. The patch below
breaks up the allocations so that they don't overflow the max
alloc size. It also allocates the masks on the the node from
which they'll most commonly be accessed, to minimize remote
accesses on NUMA machines.

rcu_read_lock() can not protect p->real_parent if release_task(p) was
already called, change sched_show_task() to check pis_alive() like other
users do.
Note: we need some helpers to cleanup the code like this. And it seems
that that the usage of cpu_curr(cpu) in dump_cpu_task() is not safe too.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- 'Nested Sleep Debugging', activated when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
This instruments might_sleep() checks to catch places that nest
blocking primitives - such as mutex usage in a wait loop. Such
bugs can result in hard to debug races/hangs.
Another category of invalid nesting that this facility will detect
is the calling of blocking functions from within schedule() ->
sched_submit_work() -> blk_schedule_flush_plug().
There's some potential for false positives (if secondary blocking
primitives themselves are not ready yet for this facility), but the
kernel will warn once about such bugs per bootup, so the warning
isn't much of a nuisance.
This feature comes with a number of fixes, for problems uncovered
with it, so no messages are expected normally.
- Another round of sched/numa optimizations and refinements, for
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y.
- Another round of sched/dl fixes and refinements.
Plus various smaller fixes and cleanups"

It appears that some SCHEDULE_USER (asm for schedule_user) callers
in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S are called from RCU kernel context,
and schedule_user will return in RCU user context. This causes RCU
warnings and possible failures.
This is intended to be a minimal fix suitable for 3.18.

Chris bisected a NULL pointer deference in task_sched_runtime() to
commit 6e998916df 'sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime()
inconsistency'.
Chris observed crashes in atop or other /proc walking programs when he
started fork bombs on his machine. He assumed that this is a new exit
race, but that does not make any sense when looking at that commit.
What's interesting is that, the commit provides update_curr callbacks
for all scheduling classes except stop_task and idle_task.
While nothing can ever hit that via the clock_nanosleep() and
clock_gettime() interfaces, which have been the target of the commit in
question, the author obviously forgot that there are other code paths
which invoke task_sched_runtime()
do_task_stat(()
thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
thread_group_cputime()
task_cputime()
task_sched_runtime()
if (task_current(rq, p) && task_on_rq_queued(p)) {
update_rq_clock(rq);
up->sched_class->update_curr(rq);
}
If the stats are read for a stomp machine task, aka 'migration/N' and
that task is current on its cpu, this will happily call the NULL pointer
of stop_task->update_curr. Ooops.
Chris observation that this happens faster when he runs the fork bomb
makes sense as the fork bomb will kick migration threads more often so
the probability to hit the issue will increase.
Add the missing update_curr callbacks to the scheduler classes stop_task
and idle_task. While idle tasks cannot be monitored via /proc we have
other means to hit the idle case.

Commit caeb178c60 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() return
'true' on a busier sd") changes groups to be ranked in the order of
overloaded > imbalance > other, and busiest group is picked according
to this order.
sgs->group_capacity_factor is used to check if the group is overloaded.
When the child domain prefers tasks to go to siblings first, the
sgs->group_capacity_factor will be set lower than one in order to
move all the excess tasks away.
However, group overloaded status is not updated when
sgs->group_capacity_factor is set to lower than one, which leads to us
missing to find the busiest group.
This patch fixes it by updating group overloaded status when sg capacity
factor is set to one, in order to find the busiest group accurately.

Commit d670ec1317 "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles" fixes one glibc
test case in cost of breaking another one. After that commit, calling
clock_nanosleep(TIMER_ABSTIME, X) and then clock_gettime(&Y) can result
of Y time being smaller than X time.
Reproducer/tester can be found further below, it can be compiled and ran by:
gcc -o tst-cpuclock2 tst-cpuclock2.c -pthread
while ./tst-cpuclock2 ; do : ; done
This reproducer, when running on a buggy kernel, will complain
about "clock_gettime difference too small".
Issue happens because on start in thread_group_cputimer() we initialize
sum_exec_runtime of cputimer with threads runtime not yet accounted and
then add the threads runtime to running cputimer again on scheduler
tick, making it's sum_exec_runtime bigger than actual threads runtime.
KOSAKI Motohiro posted a fix for this problem, but that patch was never
applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/26/191 .
This patch takes different approach to cure the problem. It calls
update_curr() when cputimer starts, that assure we will have updated
stats of running threads and on the next schedule tick we will account
only the runtime that elapsed from cputimer start. That also assure we
have consistent state between cpu times of individual threads and cpu
time of the process consisted by those threads.

While looking over the cpu-timer code I found that we appear to add
the delta for the calling task twice, through:
cpu_timer_sample_group()
thread_group_cputimer()
thread_group_cputime()
times->sum_exec_runtime += task_sched_runtime();
*sample = cputime.sum_exec_runtime + task_delta_exec();
Which would make the sample run ahead, making the sleep short.

Because the whole numa task selection stuff runs with preemption
enabled (its long and expensive) we can end up migrating and selecting
oneself as a swap target. This doesn't really work out well -- we end
up trying to acquire the same lock twice for the swap migrate -- so
avoid this.

This patch simplifies task_struct by removing the four numa_* pointers
in the same array and replacing them with the array pointer. By doing this,
on x86_64, the size of task_struct is reduced by 3 ulong pointers (24 bytes on
x86_64).
A new parameter is added to the task_faults_idx function so that it can return
an index to the correct offset, corresponding with the old precalculated
pointers.
All of the code in sched/ that depended on task_faults_idx and numa_* was
changed in order to match the new logic.

Currently used hrtimer_try_to_cancel() is racy:

put_task_struct() ... ...
free_task_struct() ... ...
... ... raw_spin_unlock(&rq->lock)
... (asquired) ...
... ... ...
... (use after free) ...
So, let's implement 100% guaranteed way to cancel the timer and let's
be sure we are safe even in very unlikely situations.
rq unlocking does not limit the area of switched_from_dl() use, because
this has already been possible in pull_dl_task() below.
Let's consider the safety of of this unlocking. New code in the patch
is working when hrtimer_try_to_cancel() fails. This means the callback
is running. In this case hrtimer_cancel() is just waiting till the
callback is finished. Two
1) Since we are in switched_from_dl(), new class is not dl_sched_class and
new prio is not less MAX_DL_PRIO. So, the callback returns early; it's
right after !dl_task() check. After that hrtimer_cancel() returns back too.
The above is:
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
... dl_task_timer()
... raw_spin_lock(rq->lock);
switched_from_dl() ...
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() ...
raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock); ...
hrtimer_cancel() ...
... raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock);
... return HRTIMER_NORESTART;
... ...
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
2) But the below is also possible:
dl_task_timer()
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock);
...
raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock);
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
switched_from_dl() ...
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() ...
... return HRTIMER_NORESTART;
raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock); ...
hrtimer_cancel(); ...
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
In this case hrtimer_cancel() returns immediately. Very unlikely case,
just to mention.
Nobody can manipulate the task, because check_class_changed() is
always called with pi_lock locked. Nobody can force the task to
participate in (concurrent) priority inheritance schemes (the same reason).
All concurrent task operations require pi_lock, which is held by us.
No deadlocks with dl_task_timer() are possible, because it returns
right after !dl_task() check (it does nothing).
If we receive a new dl_task during the time of unlocked rq, we just
don't have to do pull_dl_task() in switched_from_dl() further.

sched_move_task() is the only interface to change sched_task_group:
cpu_cgrp_subsys methods and autogroup_move_group() use it.
Everything is synchronized by task_rq_lock(), so cpu_cgroup_attach()
is ordered with other users of sched_move_task(). This means we do no
need RCU here: if we've dereferenced a tg here, the .attach method
hasn't been called for it yet.
Thus, we should pass "true" to task_css_check() to silence lockdep
warnings.

The "cpu" argument to rcu_note_context_switch() is always the current
CPU, so drop it. This in turn allows the "cpu" argument to
rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to be removed, which allows the sole
use of "cpu" in both functions to be replaced with a this_cpu_ptr().
Again, the anticipated cross-CPU uses of these functions has been

Validate we call might_sleep() with TASK_RUNNING, which catches places
where we nest blocking primitives, eg. mutex usage in a wait loop.
Since all blocking is arranged through task_struct::state, nesting
this will cause the inner primitive to set TASK_RUNNING and the outer
will thus not block.
Another observed problem is calling a blocking function from
schedule()->sched_submit_work()->blk_schedule_flush_plug() which will
then destroy the task state for the actual __schedule() call that
comes after it.

How we deal with updates to exclusive cpusets is currently broken.
As an example, suppose we have an exclusive cpuset composed of
two cpus: A[cpu0,cpu1]. We can assign SCHED_DEADLINE task to it
up to the allowed bandwidth. If we want now to modify cpusetA's
cpumask, we have to check that removing a cpu's amount of
bandwidth doesn't break AC guarantees. This thing isn't checked
in the current code.
This patch fixes the problem above, denying an update if the
new cpumask won't have enough bandwidth for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
that are currently active.

Exclusive cpusets are the only way users can restrict SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
affinity (performing what is commonly called clustered scheduling).
Unfortunately, such thing is currently broken for two reasons:
- No check is performed when the user tries to attach a task to
an exlusive cpuset (recall that exclusive cpusets have an
associated maximum allowed bandwidth).
- Bandwidths of source and destination cpusets are not correctly
updated after a task is migrated between them.
This patch fixes both things at once, as they are opposite faces
of the same coin.
The check is performed in cpuset_can_attach(), as there aren't any
points of failure after that function. The updated is split in two
halves. We first reserve bandwidth in the destination cpuset, after
we pass the check in cpuset_can_attach(). And we then release
bandwidth from the source cpuset when the task's affinity is
actually changed. Even if there can be time windows when sched_setattr()
may erroneously fail in the source cpuset, we are fine with it, as
we can't perfom an atomic update of both cpusets at once.

Both callers of finish_task_switch() need to recalculate this_rq()
and pass it as an argument, plus __schedule() does this again after

It would be simpler to call this_rq() once in finish_task_switch()
and return the this rq to the callers.
Note: probably "int cpu" in __schedule() should die; it is not used
and both rcu_note_context_switch() and wq_worker_sleeping() do not

In pseudo-interleaved numa_groups, all tasks try to relocate to
the group's preferred_nid. When a group is spread across multiple
NUMA nodes, this can lead to tasks swapping their location with
other tasks inside the same group, instead of swapping location with
tasks from other NUMA groups. This can keep NUMA groups from converging.
Examining all nodes, when dealing with a task in a pseudo-interleaved
NUMA group, avoids this problem. Note that only CPUs in nodes that
improve the task or group score are examined, so the loop isn't too
bad.

On systems with complex NUMA topologies, the node scoring is adjusted
to allow workloads to converge on nodes that are near each other.
The way a task group's preferred nid is determined needs to be adjusted,
in order for the preferred_nid to be consistent with group_weight scoring.
This ensures that we actually try to converge workloads on adjacent nodes.

In order to do task placement on systems with complex NUMA topologies,
it is necessary to count the faults on nodes nearby the node that is
being examined for a potential move.
In case of a system with a backplane interconnect, we are dealing with
groups of NUMA nodes; each of the nodes within a group is the same number
of hops away from nodes in other groups in the system. Optimal placement
on this topology is achieved by counting all nearby nodes equally. When
comparing nodes A and B at distance N, nearby nodes are those at distances
smaller than N from nodes A or B.
Placement strategy on a system with a glueless mesh NUMA topology needs
to be different, because there are no natural groups of nodes determined
by the hardware. Instead, when dealing with two nodes A and B at distance
N, N >= 2, there will be intermediate nodes at distance < N from both nodes
A and B. Good placement can be achieved by right shifting the faults on
nearby nodes by the number of hops from the node being scored. In this
context, a nearby node is any node less than the maximum distance in the
system away from the node. Those nodes are skipped for efficiency reasons,
there is no real policy reason to do so.
Placement policy on directly connected NUMA systems is not affected.

Smaller NUMA systems tend to have all NUMA nodes directly connected
to each other. This includes the degenerate case of a system with just
one node, ie. a non-NUMA system.
Larger systems can have two kinds of NUMA topology, which affects how
tasks and memory should be placed on the system.
On glueless mesh systems, nodes that are not directly connected to
each other will bounce traffic through intermediary nodes. Task groups
can be run closer to each other by moving tasks from a node to an
intermediary node between it and the task's preferred node.
On NUMA systems with backplane controllers, the intermediary hops
are incapable of running programs. This creates "islands" of nodes
that are at an equal distance to anywhere else in the system.
Each kind of topology requires a slightly different placement
algorithm; this patch provides the mechanism to detect the kind
of NUMA topology of a system.

1) switched_to_dl() check is wrong. We reschedule only
if rq->curr is deadline task, and we do not reschedule
if it's a lower priority task. But we must always
preempt a task of other classes.
2) dl_task_timer():
Policy does not change in case of priority inheritance.
rt_mutex_setprio() changes prio, while policy remains old.
So we lose some balancing logic in dl_task_timer() and
switched_to_dl() when we check policy instead of priority. Boosted
task may be rq->curr.
(I didn't change switched_from_dl() because no check is necessary
there at all).
I've looked at this place(switched_to_dl) several times and even fixed
this function, but found just now... I suppose some performance tests
may work better after this.

preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end
and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy
and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again.
1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched()
by hand.
2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid
the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case
we need to move into sched/core.c.
3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't
really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it
make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match
preempt_schedule().

While offling node by hot removing memory, the following divide error
occurs:
divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
Call Trace:

[...] ? try_to_wake_up
[...] ? wake_up_state

[...] do_page_fault
[...] page_fault
[...]
RIP [<ffffffff810a7081>] task_numa_fault
RSP <ffff88084eb2bcb0>
The issue occurs as follows:
1. When page fault occurs and page is allocated from node 1,
task_struct->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 1 is
incremented and p->numa_faults_locality[] is also incremented
as follows:
o numa_faults_buffer_memory[] o numa_faults_locality[]
NR_NUMA_HINT_FAULT_TYPES
| 0 | 1 |
---------------------------------- ----------------------
node 0 | 0 | 0 | remote | 0 |
node 1 | 0 | 1 | locale | 1 |
---------------------------------- ----------------------
2. node 1 is offlined by hot removing memory.
3. When page fault occurs, fault_types[] is calculated by using
p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of all online nodes in
task_numa_placement(). But node 1 was offline by step 2. So
the fault_types[] is calculated by using only
p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 0. So both of fault_types[]
are set to 0.
4. The values(0) of fault_types[] pass to update_task_scan_period().
5. numa_faults_locality[1] is set to 1. So the following division is
calculated.
static void update_task_scan_period(struct task_struct *p,
unsigned long shared, unsigned long private){
...
ratio = DIV_ROUND_UP(private * NUMA_PERIOD_SLOTS, (private + shared));
}
6. But both of private and shared are set to 0. So divide error
occurs here.
The divide error is rare case because the trigger is node offline.
This patch always increments denominator for avoiding divide error.

Unlocked access to dst_rq->curr in task_numa_compare() is racy.
If curr task is exiting this may be a reason of use-after-free:
task_numa_compare() do_exit()
... current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
... release_task()
... ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
... schedule()
rcu_read_lock() ...
cur = ACCESS_ONCE(dst_rq->curr) ...
... rq->curr = next;
... context_switch()
... finish_task_switch()
... put_task_struct()
... __put_task_struct()
... free_task_struct()
task_numa_assign() ...
get_task_struct() ...
As noted by Oleg:
<<The lockless get_task_struct(tsk) is only safe if tsk == current
and didn't pass exit_notify(), or if this tsk was found on a rcu
protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()).
IOW, it is only safe if release_task() was not called before we
take rcu_read_lock(), in this case we can rely on the fact that
delayed_put_pid() can not drop the (potentially) last reference
until rcu_read_unlock().
And as Kirill pointed out task_numa_compare()->task_numa_assign()
path does get_task_struct(dst_rq->curr) and this is not safe. The
task_struct itself can't go away, but rcu_read_lock() can't save
us from the final put_task_struct() in finish_task_switch(); this
reference goes away without rcu gp>>
The patch provides simple check of PF_EXITING flag. If it's not set,
this guarantees that call_rcu() of delayed_put_task_struct() callback
hasn't happened yet, so we can safely do get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign().
Locked dst_rq->lock protects from concurrency with the last schedule().
Reusing or unmapping of cur's memory may happen without it.

dl_task_timer() is racy against several paths. Daniel noticed that
the replenishment timer may experience a race condition against an
enqueue_dl_entity() called from rt_mutex_setprio(). With his own
words:
rt_mutex_setprio() resets p->dl.dl_throttled. So the pattern is:
start_dl_timer() throttled = 1, rt_mutex_setprio() throlled = 0,
sched_switch() -> enqueue_task(), dl_task_timer-> enqueue_task()
throttled is 0
=> BUG_ON(on_dl_rq(dl_se)) fires as the scheduling entity is already
enqueued on the -deadline runqueue.
As we do for the other races, we just bail out in the replenishment
timer code.

In the deboost path, right after the dl_boosted flag has been
reset, we can currently end up replenishing using -deadline
parameters of a !SCHED_DEADLINE entity. This of course causes
a bug, as those parameters are empty.
In the case depicted above it is safe to simply bail out, as
the deboosted task is going to be back to its original scheduling
class anyway.

The race may happen when somebody is changing task_group of a forking task.
Child's cgroup is the same as parent's after dup_task_struct() (there just
memory copying). Also, cfs_rq and rt_rq are the same as parent's.
But if parent changes its task_group before it's called cgroup_post_fork(),
we do not reflect this situation on child. Child's cfs_rq and rt_rq remain
the same, while child's task_group changes in cgroup_post_fork().
To fix this we introduce fork() method, which calls sched_move_task() directly.
This function changes sched_task_group on appropriate (also its logic has
no problem with freshly created tasks, so we shouldn't introduce something
special; we are able just to use it).
Possibly, this decides the Burke Libbey's problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/24/456

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

Since commit caeb178c60 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() ...")
sd_pick_busiest returns a group that can be neither imbalanced nor overloaded
but is only more loaded than others. This change has been introduced to ensure
a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect,
it can also generate useless active migration between groups.
Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an
idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB
is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above
nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core
will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the
task of a busy CPU.
The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system
because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as
you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores
where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu
We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not
only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU.
Before caeb178c60, the filtering of such use
case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g:
if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) &&
busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight)
This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest
group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2
groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded,
moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it.
A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following
results:
command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run
The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test.

In commit c1221321b7
sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.
Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.
So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:
wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example. Others can be added as needed.

read_lock_irqsave(tasklist_lock) in print_rq() looks strange. We do
not need to disable irqs, and they are already disabled by the caller.

The code in find_idlest_cpu() looks for the CPU with the smallest load.
However, if multiple CPUs are idle, the first idle CPU is selected
irrespective of the depth of its idle state.
Among the idle CPUs we should pick the one with with the shallowest idle
state, or the latest to have gone idle if all idle CPUs are in the same
state. The later applies even when cpuidle is configured out.
This patch doesn't cover the following issues:
- The idle exit latency of a CPU might be larger than the time needed
to migrate the waking task to an already running CPU with sufficient
capacity, and therefore performance would benefit from task packing
in such case (in most cases task packing is about power saving).
- Some idle states have a non negligible and non abortable entry latency
which needs to run to completion before the exit latency can start.
A concurrent patch series is making this info available to the cpuidle
core. Once available, the entry latency with the idle timestamp could
determine when the exit latency may be effective.
Those issues will be handled in due course. In the mean time, what
is implemented here should improve things already compared to the current
state of affairs.
Based on an initial patch from Daniel Lezcano.

When the cpu enters idle, it stores the cpuidle state pointer in its
struct rq instance which in turn could be used to make a better decision
when balancing tasks.
As soon as the cpu exits its idle state, the struct rq reference is
cleared.
There are a couple of situations where the idle state pointer could be changed
while it is being consulted:
1. For x86/acpi with dynamic c-states, when a laptop switches from battery
to AC that could result on removing the deeper idle state. The acpi driver
triggers:
'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed'
'cpuidle_pause_and_lock'
'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler'
'kick_all_cpus_sync'.
All cpus will exit their idle state and the pointed object will be set to
NULL.
2. The cpuidle driver is unloaded. Logically that could happen but not
in practice because the drivers are always compiled in and 95% of them are
not coded to unregister themselves. In any case, the unloading code must
call 'cpuidle_unregister_device', that calls 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock'
leading to 'kick_all_cpus_sync' as mentioned above.
A race can happen if we use the pointer and then one of these two scenarios
occurs at the same moment.
In order to be safe, the idle state pointer stored in the rq must be
used inside a rcu_read_lock section where we are protected with the
'rcu_barrier' in the 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' function. The
idle_get_state() and idle_put_state() accessors should be used to that
effect.

Users can perform clustered scheduling using the cpuset facility.
After an exclusive cpuset is created, task migrations happen only
between CPUs belonging to the same cpuset. Inter- cpuset migrations
can only happen when the user requires so, moving a task between
different cpusets. This behaviour is broken in SCHED_DEADLINE, as
currently spurious inter- cpuset migration may happen without user
intervention.
This patch fix the problem (and shuffles the code a bit to improve
clarity).

When a task is using SCHED_DEADLINE and the user setschedules it to a
different class its sched_dl_entity static parameters are not cleaned
up. This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with
the same parameters again. The problem resides in the check we
perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow():
if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw)
return 0;
This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function
returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not
added to it). After this, admission control is broken.
This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a
task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE.

'capacity_orig' is only changed for systems with an SMT sched_domain level in order
to reflect the lower capacity of CPUs. Heterogenous systems also have to reflect an
original capacity that is different from the default value.
Create a more generic function arch_scale_cpu_capacity that can be also used by
non SMT platforms to set capacity_orig.
The __weak implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is the previous SMT variant,
in order to keep backward compatibility with the use of capacity_orig.
arch_scale_smt_capacity() and default_scale_smt_capacity() have been removed as
they were not used elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

In wake_affine() I have tried to understand the meaning of the condition:
(this_load <= load &&
this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task)
but I failed to find a use case that can take advantage of it and I haven't
found clear description in the previous commit's log.
Futhermore, the comment of the condition refers to the task_hot function that
was used before being replaced by the current condition:
/*
* This domain has SD_WAKE_AFFINE and
* p is cache cold in this domain, and
* there is no bad imbalance.
*/
If we look more deeply the below condition:
this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task
When sync is clear, we have:
tl_per_task = runnable_load_avg / nr_running
this_load = max(runnable_load_avg, cpuload[idx])
target_load = max(runnable_load_avg', cpuload'[idx])
It implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 and nr_running <= 1 in order to match the
condition. This implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 too because of the
condition: this_load <= load.
but if this _load is null, 'balanced' is already set and the test is redundant.
If sync is set, it's not as straight forward as above (especially if cgroup
are involved) but the policy should be similar as we have removed a task that's
going to sleep in order to get a more accurate load and this_load values.
The current conclusion is that these additional condition don't give any benefit
so we can remove them.

The imbalance flag can stay set whereas there is no imbalance.
Let assume that we have 3 tasks that run on a dual cores /dual cluster system.
We will have some idle load balance which are triggered during tick.
Unfortunately, the tick is also used to queue background work so we can reach
the situation where short work has been queued on a CPU which already runs a
task. The load balance will detect this imbalance (2 tasks on 1 CPU and an idle
CPU) and will try to pull the waiting task on the idle CPU. The waiting task is
a worker thread that is pinned on a CPU so an imbalance due to pinned task is
detected and the imbalance flag is set.
Then, we will not be able to clear the flag because we have at most 1 task on
each CPU but the imbalance flag will trig to useless active load balance
between the idle CPU and the busy CPU.
We need to reset of the imbalance flag as soon as we have reached a balanced
state. If all tasks are pinned, we don't consider that as a balanced state and
let the imbalance flag set.

Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule()
does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is
often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted
region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined
and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be
handled.
This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate
action since the damage is already done, there is no point
in continuing.
