Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Three CPU hotplug related fixes and a debugging improvement"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/debug: Add debugfs knob for "sched_debug"
sched/core: WARN() when migrating to an offline CPU
sched/fair: Plug hole between hotplug and active_load_balance()
sched/fair: Avoid newidle balance for !active CPUs
The load balancer applies cpu_active_mask to whatever sched_domains it
finds, however in the case of active_balance there is a hole between
setting rq->{active_balance,push_cpu} and running the stop_machine
work doing the actual migration.
The @push_cpu can go offline in this window, which would result in us
moving a task onto a dead cpu, which is a fairly bad thing.
Double check the active mask before the stop work does the migration.

On CPU hot unplug, when parking the last kthread we'll try and
schedule into idle to kill the CPU. This last schedule can (and does)
trigger newidle balance because at this point the sched domains are
still up because of commit:
77d1dfda0e ("sched/topology, cpuset: Avoid spurious/wrong domain rebuilds")
Obviously pulling tasks to an already offline CPU is a bad idea, and
all balancing operations _should_ be subject to cpu_active_mask, make
it so.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.
There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
_DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
related to it are updated too.

generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
modifications elsewhere.

3fed382b46 ("sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine()")
Rik changed wake_affine to consider NUMA information when balancing
between LLC domains.
There are a number of problems here which this patch tries to address:
- LLC < NODE; in this case we'd use the wrong information to balance
- !NUMA_BALANCING: in this case, the new code doesn't do any
balancing at all
- re-computes the NUMA data for every wakeup, this can mean iterating
up to 64 CPUs for every wakeup.
- default affine wakeups inside a cache
We address these by saving the load/capacity values for each
sched_domain during regular load-balance and using these values in
wake_affine_llc(). The obvious down-side to using cached values is
that they can be too old and poorly reflect reality.
But this way we can use LLC wide information and thus not rely on
assuming LLC matches NODE. We also don't rely on NUMA_BALANCING nor do
we have to aggegate two nodes (or even cache domains) worth of CPUs
for each wakeup.

Running 80 tasks in the same group, or as threads of the same process,
results in the memory getting scanned 80x as fast as it would be if a
single task was using the memory.
This really hurts some workloads.
Scale the scan period by the number of tasks in the numa group, and
the shared / private ratio, so the average rate at which memory in
the group is scanned corresponds roughly to the rate at which a single
task would scan its memory.

The comment above update_task_scan_period() says the scan period should
be increased (scanning slows down) if the majority of memory accesses
are on the local node, or if the majority of the page accesses are
shared with other tasks.
However, with the current code, all a high ratio of shared accesses
does is slow down the rate at which scanning is made faster.
This patch changes things so either lots of shared accesses or
lots of local accesses will slow down scanning, and numa scanning
is sped up only when there are lots of private faults on remote
memory pages.

The running state is a subset of runnable state which means that running
can't be set if runnable (weight) is cleared. There are corner cases
where the current sched_entity has been already dequeued but cfs_rq->curr
has not been updated yet and still points to the dequeued sched_entity.
If ___update_load_avg() is called at that time, weight will be 0 and running
will be set which is not possible.
This case happens during pick_next_task_fair() when a cfs_rq becomes idles.
The current sched_entity has been dequeued so se->on_rq is cleared and
cfs_rq->weight is null. But cfs_rq->curr still points to se (it will be
cleared when picking the idle thread). Because the cfs_rq becomes idle,
idle_balance() is called and ends up to call update_blocked_averages()
with these wrong running and runnable states.
Add a test in ___update_load_avg() to correct the running state in this case.

weighted_cpuload() uses the cpu number passed to it get pointer to the
runqueue. Almost all callers of weighted_cpuload() already have the rq

some cases the callers actually get the CPU number by doing cpu_of(rq).
It would be simpler to pass rq to weighted_cpuload().

For SMP systems, update_load_avg() calls the cpufreq update util
handlers only for the top level cfs_rq (i.e. rq->cfs).
But that is not the case for UP systems. update_load_avg() calls util
handler for any cfs_rq for which it is called. This would result in way
too many calls from the scheduler to the cpufreq governors when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled.
Reduce the frequency of these calls by copying the behavior from the SMP
case, i.e. Only call util handlers for the top level cfs_rq.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.
One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.
This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.
The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.
The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:
- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
next tick.
Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.

If load_balance() fails to migrate any tasks because all tasks were
affined, load_balance() removes the source CPU from consideration and
attempts to redo and balance among the new subset of CPUs.
There is a bug in this code path where the algorithm considers all active
CPUs in the system (minus the source that was just masked out). This is
not valid for two reasons: some active CPUs may not be in the current
scheduling domain and one of the active CPUs is dst_cpu. These CPUs should
not be considered, as we cannot pull load from them.
Instead of failing out of load_balance(), we may end up redoing the search
with no valid CPUs and incorrectly concluding the domain is balanced.
Additionally, if the group_imbalance flag was just set, it may also be
incorrectly unset, thus the flag will not be seen by other CPUs in future
load_balance() runs as that algorithm intends.
Fix the check by removing CPUs not in the current domain and the dst_cpu
from considertation, thus limiting the evaluation to valid remaining CPUs
from which load might be migrated.

Since select_idle_sibling() can place a task anywhere on a socket,
comparing loads between individual CPU cores makes no real sense
for deciding whether to do an affine wakeup across sockets, either.
Instead, compare the load between the sockets in a similar way the
load balancer and the numa balancing code do.

Several tests in the NAS benchmark seem to run a lot slower with
NUMA balancing enabled, than with NUMA balancing disabled. The
slower run time corresponds with increased idle time.
Overriding the final test of migrate_degrades_locality (but still
doing the other NUMA tests first) seems to improve performance

Although idle load balancing obviously only concerns idle CPUs, it can
be a disturbance on a busy nohz_full CPU. Indeed a CPU can only get rid
of an idle load balancing duty once a tick fires while it runs a task
and this can take a while on a nohz_full CPU.
We could fix that and escape the idle load balancing duty from the very
idle exit path but that would bring unecessary overhead. Lets just not
bother and leave that job to housekeeping CPUs (those outside nohz_full
range). The nohz_full CPUs simply don't want any disturbance.

Hackbench recently suffered a bunch of pain, first by commit:
4c77b18cf8 ("sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive")
and then by commit:
c743f0a5c5 ("sched/fair, cpumask: Export for_each_cpu_wrap()")
which fixed a bug in the initial for_each_cpu_wrap() implementation
that made select_idle_cpu() even more expensive. The bug was that it
would skip over CPUs when bits were consequtive in the bitmask.
This however gave me an idea to fix select_idle_cpu(); where the old
scheme was a cliff-edge throttle on idle scanning, this introduces a
more gradual approach. Instead of stopping to scan entirely, we limit
how many CPUs we scan.
Initial benchmarks show that it mostly recovers hackbench while not
hurting anything else, except Mason's schbench, but not as bad as the
old thing.
It also appears to recover the tbench high-end, which also suffered like
hackbench.

A customer has reported a soft-lockup when running an intensive

[<ffffffff81098322>] task_work_run+0x72/0x90
Further investigation showed that the lock contention here is pmd_lock().
The task_numa_work() function makes sure that only one thread is let to perform
the work in a single scan period (via cmpxchg), but if there's a thread with
mmap_sem locked for writing for several periods, multiple threads in
task_numa_work() can build up a convoy waiting for mmap_sem for read and then
all get unblocked at once.
This patch changes the down_read() to the trylock version, which prevents the
build up. For a workload experiencing mmap_sem contention, it's probably better
to postpone the NUMA balancing work anyway. This seems to have fixed the soft
lockups involving pmd_lock(), which is in line with the convoy theory.

Currently, rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list is a traversal ordered list of all
live cfs_rqs which have ever been active on the CPU; unfortunately,
this makes update_blocked_averages() O(# total cgroups) which isn't
scalable at all.
This shows up as a small CPU consumption and scheduling latency
increase in the load balancing path in systems with CPU controller
enabled across most cgroups. In an edge case where temporary cgroups
were leaking, this caused the kernel to consume good several tens of
percents of CPU cycles running update_blocked_averages(), each run
taking multiple millisecs.
This patch fixes the issue by taking empty and fully decayed cfs_rqs
off the rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.

In the current implementation of load/util_avg, we assume that the
ongoing time segment has fully elapsed, and util/load_sum is divided
by LOAD_AVG_MAX, even if part of the time segment still remains to
run. As a consequence, this remaining part is considered as idle time
and generates unexpected variations of util_avg of a busy CPU in the
range [1002..1024[ whereas util_avg should stay at 1023.
In order to keep the metric stable, we should not consider the ongoing
time segment when computing load/util_avg but only the segments that
have already fully elapsed. But to not consider the current time
segment adds unwanted latency in the load/util_avg responsivness
especially when the time is scaled instead of the contribution.
Instead of waiting for the current time segment to have fully elapsed
before accounting it in load/util_avg, we can already account the
elapsed part but change the range used to compute load/util_avg
accordingly.
At the very beginning of a new time segment, the past segments have
been decayed and the max value is LOAD_AVG_MAX*y. At the very end of
the current time segment, the max value becomes:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y + 1024(us) (== LOAD_AVG_MAX)
In fact, the max value is:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y + sa->period_contrib
at any time in the time segment.
Taking advantage of the fact that:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y == LOAD_AVG_MAX-1024
the range becomes [0..LOAD_AVG_MAX-1024+sa->period_contrib].
As the elapsed part is already accounted in load/util_sum, we update
the max value according to the current position in the time segment
instead of removing its contribution.

Paul noticed that in the (periods >= LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) case in
__accumulate_sum(), the returned contribution value (LOAD_AVG_MAX) is
incorrect.
This is because at this point, the decay_load() on the old state --
the first step in accumulate_sum() -- will not have resulted in 0, and
will therefore result in a sum larger than the maximum value of our
series. Obviously broken.
Note that:
decay_load(LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) =
1 (345 / 32)
47742 * - ^ = ~27
2
Not to mention that any further contribution from the d3 segment (our
new period) would also push it over the maximum.
Solve this by noting that we can write our c2 term:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
In terms of our maximum value:
inf inf p
max = 1024 \Sum y^n = 1024 ( \Sum y^n + \Sum y^n + y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1 n=1
Further note that:
inf inf inf
( \Sum y^n ) y^p = \Sum y^(n+p) = \Sum y^n
n=0 n=0 n=p
Combined that gives us:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
inf inf
= 1024 ( \Sum y^n - \Sum y^n - y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1
= max - (max y^(p+1)) - 1024
Further simplify things by dealing with p=0 early on.

The main PELT function ___update_load_avg(), which implements the
accumulation and progression of the geometric average series, is
implemented along the following lines for the scenario where the time
delta spans all 3 possible sections (see figure below):
1. add the remainder of the last incomplete period
2. decay old sum
3. accumulate new sum in full periods since last_update_time
4. accumulate the current incomplete period
5. update averages
Or:
d1 d2 d3
^ ^ ^
| | |
|<->|<----------------->|<--->|
... |---x---|------| ... |------|-----x (now)
load_sum' = (load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) + (1,2)
p
weight * scale * 1024 * \Sum y^n + (3)
n=1
weight * scale * d3 * y^0 (4)
load_avg' = load_sum' / LOAD_AVG_MAX (5)
Where:
d1 - is the delta part completing the remainder of the last
incomplete period,
d2 - is the delta part spannind complete periods, and
d3 - is the delta part starting the current incomplete period.
We can simplify the code in two steps; the first step is to separate
the first term into new and old parts like:
(load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * d1 * y^(p+1)
Once we've done that, its easy to see that all new terms carry the
common factors:
weight * scale
If we factor those out, we arrive at the form:
load_sum' = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * (d1 * y^(p+1) +
p
1024 * \Sum y^n +
n=1
d3 * y^0)
Which results in a simpler, smaller and faster implementation.

end up pulling tasks to itself even if the local group is almost equally
loaded as the source group.
Lets assume a 4 core,smt==2 machine running 5 thread ebizzy workload.
Everytime, local group has capacity and source group has atleast 2 threads,
local group tries to pull the task. This causes the threads to constantly
move between different cores. This is even more profound if the cores have
more threads, like in Power 8, smt 8 mode.

This patch fix spelling typos found in
Documentation/output/xml/driver-api/basics.xml.
It is because the xml file was generated from comments in source,
so I had to fix the comments.

A regression of the FTQ noise has been reported by Ying Huang,
on the following hardware:
8 threads Intel(R) Core(TM)i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8G memory
... which was caused by this commit:
commit 4e5160766f ("sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach")
The only part of the patch that can increase the noise is the update
of blocked load of group entity in update_blocked_averages().
We can optimize this call and skip the update of group entity if its load
and utilization are already null and there is no pending propagation of load
in the task group.
This optimization partly restores the noise score. A more agressive
optimization has been tried but has shown worse score.

The missing update_rq_clock() check can work with partial rq->lock
wrappery, since a missing wrapper can cause the warning to not be
emitted when it should have, but cannot cause the warning to trigger
when it should not have.
The duplicate update_rq_clock() check however can cause false warnings
to trigger. Therefore add more comprehensive rq->lock wrappery.
