This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.
Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":
"[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
be removed in the 2.5 development series".
We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.
Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.

necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through

There are only two users of get_nohz_timer_target(): timer and hrtimer. Both
call it under same circumstances, i.e.
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
if (!pinned && get_sysctl_timer_migration() && idle_cpu(this_cpu))
return get_nohz_timer_target();
#endif
So, it makes more sense to get all this as part of get_nohz_timer_target()
instead of duplicating code at two places. For this another parameter is
required to be passed to this routine, pinned.

When update_rq_clock_task() accounts the pending steal time for a task,
it converts the steal delta from nsecs to tick then from tick to nsecs.
There is no apparent good reason for doing that though because both
the task clock and the prev steal delta are u64 and store values
in nsecs.
So lets remove the needless conversion.

The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on
jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t
is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in
jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a
value in nsecs.
As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would
be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs.
As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two
guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and
same CPU.
In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to
cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API.
Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have
a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted
value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

I decided to run my tests on linux-next, and my wakeup_rt tracer was
broken. After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was:
linux-next commit c365c292d0
"sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()"
And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had
no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with
sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER
priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found:
- p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
- p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
With no
+ p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
+ p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio
can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the
p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the
task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority.
The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called,
otherwise the class wont be changed.
Also added fix to newprio to include a check for deadline policy that
was missing. This change was suggested by Juri Lelli.

1) Single cpu machine case.
When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked
because of throttling, we enter in endless loop.
pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL.
In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry
if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running)
return RETRY_TASK;
(rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes
throttled).
No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here,
because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are
disabled.
2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock
rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled.
The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT
classes instead of checking for sum.

The problems:
1) We check for rt_nr_running before call of put_prev_task().
If previous task is RT, its rt_rq may become throttled
and dequeued after this call.
In case of p is from rt->rq this just causes picking a task
from throttled queue, but in case of its rt_rq is child
we are guaranteed catch BUG_ON.
2) The same with deadline class. The only difference we operate
on only dl_rq.
This patch fixes all the above problems and it adds a small skip in the
DL update like we've already done for RT class:
if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0))
return;
This will optimize sequential update_curr_dl() calls a little.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable/enable() in sched_clock_cpu().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are
traced and this causes trace_clock() users (and probably others) to

are not affected.

Michael spotted that the idle_balance() push down created a task
priority problem.
Previously, when we called idle_balance() before pick_next_task() it
wasn't a problem when -- because of the rq->lock droppage -- an rt/dl
task slipped in.
Similarly for pre_schedule(), rt pre-schedule could have a dl task
slip in.
But by pulling it into the pick_next_task() loop, we'll not try a
higher task priority again.
Cure this by creating a re-start condition in pick_next_task(); and
triggering this from pick_next_task_{rt,fair}().
It also fixes a live-lock where we get stuck in pick_next_task_fair()
due to idle_balance() seeing !0 nr_running but there not actually
being any fair tasks about.

The struct sched_avg of struct rq is only used in case group
scheduling is enabled inside __update_tg_runnable_avg() to update
per-cpu representation of a task group. I.e. that there is no need to
maintain the runnable avg of a rq in the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED case.
This patch guards struct sched_avg of struct rq and
update_rq_runnable_avg() with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
There is an extra empty definition for update_rq_runnable_avg()
necessary for the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_SMP case.
The function print_cfs_group_stats() which prints out struct sched_avg
of struct rq is already guarded with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

Kirill Tkhai noted:
Since deadline tasks share rt bandwidth, we must care about
bandwidth timer set. Otherwise rt_time may grow up to infinity
in update_curr_dl(), if there are no other available RT tasks
on top level bandwidth.
RT task were in fact throttled right after they got enqueued,
and never executed again (rt_time never again went below rt_runtime).
Peter then proposed to accrue DL execution on rt_time only when
rt timer is active, and proposed a patch (this patch is a slight
modification of that) to implement that behavior. While this
solves Kirill problem, it has a drawback.
Indeed, Kirill noted again:
It looks we may get into a situation, when all CPU time is shared
between RT and DL tasks:
rt_runtime = n
rt_period = 2n
| RT working, DL sleeping | DL working, RT sleeping |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (repeat)
|--------------------------|------------------------------|
| (rt_bw timer is running) | (rt_bw timer is not running) |
No time for fair tasks at all.
While this can happen during the first period, if rq is always backlogged,
RT tasks won't have the opportunity to execute anymore: rt_time reached
rt_runtime during (1), suppose after (2) RT is enqueued back, it gets
throttled since rt timer didn't fire, replenishment is from now on eaten up
by DL tasks that accrue their execution on rt_time (while rt timer is
active - we have an RT task waiting for replenishment). FAIR tasks are
not touched after this first period. Ok, this is not ideal, and the situation
is even worse!
What above (the nice case), practically never happens in reality, where
your rt timer is not aligned to tasks periods, tasks are in general not
periodic, etc.. Long story short, you always risk to overload your system.
This patch is based on Peter's idea, but exploits an additional fact:
if you don't have RT tasks enqueued, it makes little sense to continue
incrementing rt_time once you reached the upper limit (DL tasks have their
own mechanism for throttling).
This cures both problems:
- no matter how many DL instances in the past, you'll have an rt_time
slightly above rt_runtime when an RT task is enqueued, and from that
point on (after the first replenishment), the task will normally execute;
- you can still eat up all bandwidth during the first period, but not
anymore after that, remember that DL execution will increment rt_time
till the upper limit is reached.
The situation is still not perfect! But, we have a simple solution for now,
that limits how much you can jeopardize your system, as we keep working
towards the right answer: RT groups scheduled using deadline servers.

dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0
which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met.
If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without
schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be
incorrectly adjusted twice.
In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing
past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of
CPU time.
This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of
!se->on_rq.

The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the
properties of this function, especially when compared to
smp_call_function_single().
The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main
point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd
in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the
purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously.
As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature
comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the
IPIs on this csd.
Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect
these properties.

The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send
an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object,
a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete
as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such,
sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled.
This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to
synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a
single csd are serialized.
This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this
usecase is relevant.
Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be
covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look
at the two possible scenario:
1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded
in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first
sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily.
But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd
can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1)
and the object can be passed an the IPI argument.
Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone
because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs
for this csd.
2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that
is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single()
can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the
stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone.
Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1
is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more
simple.
There was a single user of that which has just been converted.
So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler()
call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the
runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective
boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the
priority bucket list.
If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we
just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the
scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the
task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the
effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

The following scenario does not work correctly:
Runqueue of CPUx contains two runnable and pinned tasks:
T1: SCHED_FIFO, prio 80
T2: SCHED_FIFO, prio 80
T1 is on the cpu and executes the following syscalls (classic priority
ceiling scenario):
sys_sched_setscheduler(pid(T1), SCHED_FIFO, .prio = 90);
...
sys_sched_setscheduler(pid(T1), SCHED_FIFO, .prio = 80);
...
Now T1 gets preempted by T3 (SCHED_FIFO, prio 95). After T3 goes back
to sleep the scheduler picks T2. Surprise!
The same happens w/o actual preemption when T1 is forced into the
scheduler due to a sporadic NEED_RESCHED event. The scheduler invokes
pick_next_task() which returns T2. So T1 gets preempted and scheduled
out.
This happens because sched_setscheduler() dequeues T1 from the prio 90
list and then enqueues it on the tail of the prio 80 list behind T2.
This violates the POSIX spec and surprises user space which relies on
the guarantee that SCHED_FIFO tasks are not scheduled out unless they
give the CPU up voluntarily or are preempted by a higher priority
task. In the latter case the preempted task must get back on the CPU
after the preempting task schedules out again.
We fixed a similar issue already in commit 60db48c (sched: Queue a
deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue). The same treatment
is necessary for sched_setscheduler(). So enqueue to head of the prio
bucket list if the priority of the task is lowered.
It might be possible that existing user space relies on the current
behaviour, but it can be considered highly unlikely due to the corner
case nature of the application scenario.

We stumbled in RT over a SMP bringup issue on ARM where the
idle->on_rq == 0 was causing try_to_wakeup() on the other cpu to run
into nada land.
After adding that idle->on_rq = 1; I was able to find the root cause
of the lockup: the idle task on the newly woken up cpu was fiddling
with a sleeping spinlock, which is a nono.
I kept the init of idle->on_rq to keep the state consistent and to
avoid another long lasting debug session.
As a side note, the whole debug mess could have been avoided if
might_sleep() would have yelled when called from the idle task. That's
fixed with patch 2/6 - and that one actually has a changelog :)

Kirill also spotted that migrate_tasks() will have an instant NULL
deref because pick_next_task() will immediately deref prev.
Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can
pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide
a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far
more common paths.
A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed
pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to
avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU.
We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1.
We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of
times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in
idle_balance().

While debugging the crash with the bad nr_running accounting, I hit
another bug where, after running my sched deadline test, I was getting
failures to take a CPU offline. It was giving me a -EBUSY error.
Adding a bunch of trace_printk()s around, I found that the cpu
notifier that called sched_cpu_inactive() was returning a failure. The
overflow value was coming up negative?
Talking this over with Juri, the problem is that the total_bw update was
suppose to be made by dl_overflow() which, during my tests, seemed to
not be called. Adding more trace_printk()s, it wasn't that it wasn't
called, but it exited out right away with the check of new_bw being
equal to p->dl.dl_bw. The new_bw calculates the ratio between period and
runtime. The bug is that if you set a deadline, you do not need to set
a period if you plan on the period being equal to the deadline. That
is, if period is zero and deadline is not, then the system call should
set the period to be equal to the deadline. This is done elsewhere in
the code.
The fix is easy, check if period is set, and if it is not, then use the
deadline.

Rostedt writes:
My test suite was locking up hard when enabling mmiotracer. This was due
to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out
when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug
test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and
would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The
stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash
at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again.
I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent
reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches,
and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched
deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me
to what the bug was.
All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU
hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run
of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self
test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The
deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to
fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work
(there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause
problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup
hard.
I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box,
and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently
lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem,
but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the
stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard.
After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The
function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite
loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I
added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and
never decrementing!
Looking at the deadline code I found:
static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl);
dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p);
}
static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
update_curr_dl(rq);
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags);
dec_nr_running(rq);
}
And this:
if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) {
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0);
if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted)))
dl_se->dl_throttled = 1;
else
enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl))
resched_task(curr);
}
Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we
call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has
underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl()
calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is
where we get nr_running out of sync.
[snip]
Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer
fires:
dl_se->dl_throttled = 0;
if (p->on_rq) {
enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr))
check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0);
else
resched_task(rq->curr);
This patch does two things:
- correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered
!running);
- fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(),
since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a
task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection. Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.
* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.
* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().
* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users
which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
removed.
v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.
v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and
pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs
functions with NULL kn leading to oops. Test for NULL kn and
print "/" if so. This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu.

This patch both merged idle_balance() and pre_schedule() and pushes
both of them into pick_next_task().
Conceptually pre_schedule() and idle_balance() are rather similar,
both are used to pull more work onto the current CPU.
We cannot however first move idle_balance() into pre_schedule_fair()
since there is no guarantee the last runnable task is a fair task, and
thus we would miss newidle balances.
Similarly, the dl and rt pre_schedule calls must be ran before
idle_balance() since their respective tasks have higher priority and
it would not do to delay their execution searching for less important
tasks first.
However, by noticing that pick_next_tasks() already traverses the
sched_class hierarchy in the right order, we can get the right
behaviour and do away with both calls.
We must however change the special case optimization to also require
that prev is of sched_class_fair, otherwise we can miss doing a dl or
rt pull where we needed one.

As we know if the cpu is going to idle or not with the previous patch, let's

The scheduler main function 'schedule()' checks if there are no more tasks
on the runqueue. Then it checks if a task should be pulled in the current
runqueue in idle_balance() assuming it will go to idle otherwise.
But idle_balance() releases the rq->lock in order to look up the sched
domains and takes the lock again right after. That opens a window where
another cpu may put a task in our runqueue, so we won't go to idle but
we have filled the idle_stamp, thinking we will.
This patch closes the window by checking if the runqueue has been modified
but without pulling a task after taking the lock again, so we won't go to idle
right after in the __schedule() function.

cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be.
* The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier
defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name
but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones.
* cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each
cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely
included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't
have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier
indicating that they belong to cgroup.
* cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching
cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to
initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit
silly.
This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing
the followings.
* cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each
cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys.
* With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland
visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching
identifiers are renamed to match the official names.
cpu_cgroup -> cpu
mem_cgroup -> memory
perf -> perf_event
* controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name.
They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot.
* Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed.
* While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to
WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel
can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap
handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

The NUMA balancing code looks at those per-process variables, and
having other tasks temporarily see halved statistics could lead to

Tracing the code that decides the active nodes has made it abundantly clear
that the naive implementation of the faults_from code has issues.
Specifically, the garbage collector in some workloads will access orders
of magnitudes more memory than the threads that do all the active work.
This resulted in the node with the garbage collector being marked the only
active node in the group.
This issue is avoided if we weigh the statistics by CPU use of each task in
the numa group, instead of by how many faults each thread has occurred.
To achieve this, we normalize the number of faults to the fraction of faults
that occurred on each node, and then multiply that fraction by the fraction
of CPU time the task has used since the last time task_numa_placement was
invoked.
This way the nodes in the active node mask will be the ones where the tasks
from the numa group are most actively running, and the influence of eg. the
garbage collector and other do-little threads is properly minimized.
On a 4 node system, using CPU use statistics calculated over a longer interval
results in about 1% fewer page migrations with two 32-warehouse specjbb runs
on a 4 node system, and about 5% fewer page migrations, as well as 1% better
throughput, with two 8-warehouse specjbb runs, as compared with the shorter
term statistics kept by the scheduler.

Use the active_nodes nodemask to make smarter decisions on NUMA migrations.
In order to maximize performance of workloads that do not fit in one NUMA
node, we want to satisfy the following criteria:
1) keep private memory local to each thread
2) avoid excessive NUMA migration of pages
3) distribute shared memory across the active nodes, to
maximize memory bandwidth available to the workload
This patch accomplishes that by implementing the following policy for
NUMA migrations:
1) always migrate on a private fault
2) never migrate to a node that is not in the set of active nodes
for the numa_group
3) always migrate from a node outside of the set of active nodes,
to a node that is in that set
4) within the set of active nodes in the numa_group, only migrate
from a node with more NUMA page faults, to a node with fewer
NUMA page faults, with a 25% margin to avoid ping-ponging
This results in most pages of a workload ending up on the actively
used nodes, with reduced ping-ponging of pages between those nodes.

Excessive migration of pages can hurt the performance of workloads
that span multiple NUMA nodes. However, it turns out that the
p->numa_migrate_deferred knob is a really big hammer, which does
reduce migration rates, but does not actually help performance.
Now that the second stage of the automatic numa balancing code
has stabilized, it is time to replace the simplistic migration
deferral code with something smarter.

This allows us to track down performance problems with this feature and

The code would assume sched_clock_stable() and switch to !stable
later, this switch brings a discontinuity in time.
The discontinuity on switching from stable to unstable was always
present, but previously we would set stable/unstable before
initializing TSC and usually stick to the one we start out with.
So the static_key bits brought an extra switch where there previously
wasn't one.
Things are further complicated by the fact that we cannot use
static_key as early as we usually call set_sched_clock_stable().
Fix things by tracking the stable state in a regular variable and only
set the static_key to the right state on sched_clock_init(), which is
ran right after late_time_init->tsc_init().
Before this we would not be using the TSC anyway.

This reverts commit 282cf499f0.
With the current implementation, the load average statistics of a sched entity
change according to other activity on the CPU even if this activity is done
between the running window of the sched entity and have no influence on the
running duration of the task.
When a task wakes up on the same CPU, we currently update last_runnable_update
with the return of __synchronize_entity_decay without updating the
runnable_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period accordingly. In fact, we have to sync
the load_contrib of the se with the rq's blocked_load_contrib before removing
it from the latter (with __synchronize_entity_decay) but we must keep
last_runnable_update unchanged for updating runnable_avg_sum/period during the
next update_entity_load_avg.

This patch adds three tracepoints
o trace_sched_move_numa when a task is moved to a node
o trace_sched_swap_numa when a task is swapped with another task
o trace_sched_stick_numa when a numa-related migration fails
The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the
following high-level metrics can be calculated
o NUMA migrated stuck nr trace_sched_stick_numa
o NUMA migrated idle nr trace_sched_move_numa
o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa
o NUMA local swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen)
o NUMA remote swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped)
o NUMA group swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid
Maybe a small number of these are acceptable
but a high number would be a major surprise.
It would be even worse if bounces are frequent.
o NUMA avg task migs. Average number of migrations for tasks
o NUMA stddev task mig Self-explanatory
o NUMA max task migs. Maximum number of migrations for a single task
In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems
where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount
of useless work.

With the introduction of sched_attr::sched_nice we need to check
if we've got permission to actually change the nice value.
Daniel found that can_nice() would always fail; and upon
inspection it turns out that can_nice() only tests to see if we
can lower the nice value, but it doesn't validate if we're
lowering or not.
Therefore amend the test to only call can_nice() when we lower
the nice value.

While calculating the scheduler tick max deferment, the delta is
converted from microseconds to nanoseconds through a multiplication
against NSEC_PER_USEC.
But this microseconds operand is an unsigned int, thus the result may
likely overflow. The result is cast to u64 but only once the operation
is completed, which is too late to avoid overflown result.
This is currently not a problem because the scheduler tick max deferment
is 1 second. But this may become an issue as we plan to make this
value tunable.
So lets fix this by casting the usecs value to u64 before multiplying by
NSECS_PER_USEC.
Also to prevent from this kind of mistake to happen again, move this
ad-hoc jiffies -> nsecs conversion to a new helper.

With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people
calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper.
Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing
TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations.
While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the
existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits
right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but
right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop.
So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're
guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is
that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible
to get right.
The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl
bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is
undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us
hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks.
Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl
bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly
confusing imo.
Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we
actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case
the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl.
So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point
is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget.
This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control
and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that
this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to
need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface
for now.

which is a no-no.
Change both tests to use cpumask_subset() such that we test the root
domain span to be a subset of the cpus_allowed mask. This way we're
sure the tasks can always run on all CPUs they can be balanced over,
and have no effective affinity constraints.

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].

In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is
important that some method of having the allocation of the available
CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control.
This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed
at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the
-deadline tasks.
Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a
bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of
runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate
such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both
procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group
settings).
Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the
bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e.,
new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with
the same usage paradigm are added.
However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how
we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level.
Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually
very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization
cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP
configurations).
Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and
RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own
(while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level
throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth.
This patch, therefore:
- adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of:
* /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us,
* /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us,
that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth
available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks;
- couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces
that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt
-deadline tasks to stay below 100%.
This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks
can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below:
M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us)
It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and
be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with
the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that
needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of
the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation).
This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution,
what this commits does is:
- ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead,
when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's
deadline is postponed;
- the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime)
used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the
pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline.
Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner,
still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous
commit) pi-architecture.
We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but
clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start
discussion within the community. So, as always, comments, ideas, rants,
etc.. are welcome! :-)

Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code,
and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and
-priority tasks.
This is done mainly because:
- classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might
not be enough for representing a deadline;
- manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks),
which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases.
Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according
to the following logic:
- among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the
one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins;
- among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins;
- among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline
wins.
Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both
the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on
a pi-lock.

Make it possible to specify a period (different or equal than
deadline) for -deadline tasks. Relative deadlines (D_i) are used on
task arrivals to generate new scheduling (absolute) deadlines as "d =
t + D_i", and periods (P_i) to postpone the scheduling deadlines as "d
= d + P_i" when the budget is zero.
This is in general useful to model (and schedule) tasks that have slow
activation rates (long periods), but have to be scheduled soon once
activated (short deadlines).

Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic
migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if
runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing
where a task should migrate, when it is the case.
Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can
be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a
task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of
migrating, or forbidding migrations at all.
The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised:
- -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues,
- -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the
following:
* on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks
are always running;
* affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is
always respected.
Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with
an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between
runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled.
IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent
to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing
(push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull
the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU.
To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any
scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each
scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives
or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into
account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline.
E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake
up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task
with the latest deadline among the M executing ones.
In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the
deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used.
Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to
speed-up pushes.

Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for
SCHED_DEADLINE implementation.
Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their
initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy
are also added where they are needed.
Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called
SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline
First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called
Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate
the behaviour of tasks between each other.
The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase
(instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The
expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's
runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed
is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline
is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an
instance) activates plus the relative deadline.
The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute
deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each
task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline
length time interval, avoiding any interference between different
tasks (bandwidth isolation).
Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with
the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new
policy.
To summarize, this patch:
- introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed;
- implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new
scheduling class file;
- provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and
the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl
and the other existing scheduling classes.

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).
In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
i.e.:
- a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
- a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
- a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.
Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
legacy binaries.
For these reasons, this patch:
- defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
model described above;
- defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().
Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
available on other architectures is straightforward.
Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is
experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified
commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA
node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load.
Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a
scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier
as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a
result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs
on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for
calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce
the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight
of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case.
wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it
is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the
near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load
of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by
task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide
search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the
historical behaviour.

This patch touches the RT group scheduling case.
Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's
priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq.
This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not
guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this
leak makes RT balancing unusable.
The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's
RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a
throttle rt_rq. The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority
equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.
The patch below fixes the problem.

Commit 42eb088e (sched: Avoid NULL dereference on sd_busy) corrected a NULL
dereference on sd_busy but the fix also altered what scheduling domain it
used for the 'sd_llc' percpu variable.
One impact of this is that a task selecting a runqueue may consider
idle CPUs that are not cache siblings as candidates for running.
Tasks are then running on CPUs that are not cache hot.
This was found through bisection where ebizzy threads were not seeing equal
performance and it looked like a scheduling fairness issue. This patch
mitigates but does not completely fix the problem on all machines tested
implying there may be an additional bug or a common root cause. Here are

Christian suffers from a bad BIOS that wrecks his i5's TSC sync. This
results in him occasionally seeing time going backwards - which
crashes the scheduler ...
Most of our time accounting can actually handle that except the most
common one; the tick time update of sched_fair.
There is a further problem with that code; previously we assumed that
because we get a tick every TICK_NSEC our time delta could never
exceed 32bits and math was simpler.
However, ever since Frederic managed to get NO_HZ_FULL merged; this is
no longer the case since now a task can run for a long time indeed
without getting a tick. It only takes about ~4.2 seconds to overflow
our u32 in nanoseconds.
This means we not only need to better deal with time going backwards;
but also means we need to be able to deal with large deltas.
This patch reworks the entire code and uses mul_u64_u32_shr() as
proposed by Andy a long while ago.
We express our virtual time scale factor in a u32 multiplier and shift
right and the 32bit mul_u64_u32_shr() implementation reduces to a
single 32x32->64 multiply if the time delta is still short (common
case).
For 64bit a 64x64->128 multiply can be used if ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128.
