Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 3bd3706251 sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask
In commit:

  4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")

the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.

As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:

	struct task_struct {
		const cpumask_t		*cpus_ptr;
		cpumask_t		cpus_mask;
        };
with
	t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;

In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:

	t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));

in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:

 - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
 - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Ingo Molnar 325ea10c08 sched/headers: Simplify and clean up header usage in the scheduler
Do the following cleanups and simplifications:

 - sched/sched.h already includes <asm/paravirt.h>, so no need to
   include it in sched/core.c again.

 - order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically

 - add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h

 - remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
   are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.

Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:

  #include "sched.h"

... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.

This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

Ingo Molnar 97fb7a0a89 sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:

 - fix speling in comments,

 - use curly braces for multi-line statements,

 - remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,

 - capitalize consistently,

 - remove stray newlines,

 - add comments where necessary,

 - remove invalid/unnecessary comments,

 - align structure definitions and other data types vertically,

 - add missing newlines for increased readability,

 - fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,

 - harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
   and vertical alignment,

 - remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,

 - add newline after local variable definitions,

No change in functionality:

Ingo Molnar 0c98d344fe sched/core: Remove the tsk_cpus_allowed() wrapper
So the original intention of tsk_cpus_allowed() was to 'future-proof'
the field - but it's pretty ineffectual at that, because half of
the code uses ->cpus_allowed directly ...

Also, the wrapper makes the code longer than the original expression!

So just get rid of it. This also shrinks <linux/sched.h> a bit.

Tommaso Cucinotta 8e1bc301aa sched/deadline: Make CPU heap faster avoiding real swaps on heapify
This change goes from heapify() ops done by swapping with parent/child
so that the item to fix moves along, to heapify() ops done by just
pulling the parent/child chain by 1 pos, then storing the item to fix
just at the end. On a non-trivial heapify(), this performs roughly half
stores wrt swaps.

This has been measured to achieve up to 10% of speed-up for cpudl_set()
calls, with a randomly generated workload of 1K,10K,100K random heap
insertions and deletions (75% cpudl_set() calls with is_valid=1 and
25% with is_valid=0), and randomly generated cpu IDs, with up to 256
CPUs, as measured on an Intel Core2 Duo.

Tommaso Cucinotta a23eadfae2 sched/deadline: Fix wrap-around in DL heap
Current code in cpudeadline.c has a bug in re-heapifying when adding a
new element at the end of the heap, because a deadline value of 0 is
temporarily set in the new elem, then cpudl_change_key() is called
with the actual elem deadline as param.

However, the function compares the new deadline to set with the one
previously in the elem, which is 0.  So, if current absolute deadlines
grew so much to have negative values as s64, the comparison in
cpudl_change_key() makes the wrong decision.  Instead, as from
dl_time_before(), the kernel should handle correctly abs deadlines
wrap-arounds.

This patch fixes the problem with a minimally invasive change that
forces cpudl_change_key() to heapify up in this case.

Xunlei Pang 9659e1eeee sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask from cpudl_find()
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.

Xunlei Pang 16b269436b sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus to reflect rd->online
Currently, cpudl::free_cpus contains all CPUs during init, see
cpudl_init(). When calling cpudl_find(), we have to add rd->span
to avoid selecting the cpu outside the current root domain, because
cpus_allowed cannot be depended on when performing clustered
scheduling using the cpuset, see find_later_rq().

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()
in find_later_rq().

Juri Lelli 91ec6778ec sched/deadline: Fix inter- exclusive cpusets migrations
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).

A hot-removed CPU may have ID that is numerically larger than the number of
existing CPUs in the system (e.g. we can unplug CPU 4 from a system that
has CPUs 0, 1 and 4).

Thus the WARN_ONs should check whether the CPU in question is currently
present, not whether its ID value is less than num_present_cpus().

Juri Lelli 6bfd6d72f5 sched/deadline: speed up SCHED_DEADLINE pushes with a push-heap
Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing
logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of
tasks (as sched_rt does).

Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines
of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by
a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system
is heavily loaded.

The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by
design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt
on large multi-CPUs machines [1].

Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure
also for pull decisions is straightforward. However, we are currently
evaluating different (in order to decrease/avoid contention) data
structures to solve possibly both problems. We are also going to re-run
tests considering recent changes inside cpupri [2].
