On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but
also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.
This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

The function get_loadavg() returns almost always zero. To be more
precise, statistically speaking for a total of 1023379 times passing
in the function, the load is equal to zero 1020728 times, greater than
100, 610 times, the remaining is between 0 and 5.
In 2011, the get_loadavg() was removed from the Android tree because
of the above [1]. At this time, the load was:
unsigned long this_cpu_load(void)
{
struct rq *this = this_rq();
return this->cpu_load[0];
}
In 2014, the code was changed by commit 372ba8cb46 (cpuidle: menu: Lookup CPU
runqueues less) and the load is:
void get_iowait_load(unsigned long *nr_waiters, unsigned long *load)
{
struct rq *rq = this_rq();
*nr_waiters = atomic_read(&rq->nr_iowait);
*load = rq->load.weight;
}
with the same result.
Both measurements show using the load in this code path does no matter
anymore. Removing it.

The following commit:
d7880812b3 ("idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()")
... added an x86 specific boot_init_stack_canary() call to the generic
cpu_startup_entry() as a temporary hack, with the intention to remove
the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 later.
More than 5 years later let's finally realize that plan! :-)
While implementing stack protector support for PowerPC, we found
that calling boot_init_stack_canary() is also needed for PowerPC
which uses per task (TLS) stack canary like the X86.
However, calling boot_init_stack_canary() would break architectures
using a global stack canary (ARM, SH, MIPS and XTENSA).
Instead of modifying the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 to an even messier:
#if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_PPC)
PowerPC implemented the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in the function
calling cpu_startup_entry().
Let's try the same cleanup on the x86 side as well.
On x86 we have two functions calling cpu_startup_entry():
- start_secondary()
- cpu_bringup_and_idle()
start_secondary() already calls boot_init_stack_canary(), so
it's good, and this patch adds the call to boot_init_stack_canary()
in cpu_bringup_and_idle().
I.e. now x86 catches up to the rest of the world and the ugly init
sequence in init/main.c can be removed from cpu_startup_entry().
As a final benefit we can also remove the <linux/stackprotector.h>
dependency from <linux/sched.h>.

With a very low cpu.cfs_quota_us setting, such as the minimum of 1000,
distribute_cfs_runtime may not empty the throttled_list before it runs
out of runtime to distribute. In that case, due to the change from
c06f04c704 to put throttled entries at the head of the list, later entries
on the list will starve. Essentially, the same X processes will get pulled
off the list, given CPU time and then, when expired, get put back on the
head of the list where distribute_cfs_runtime will give runtime to the same
set of processes leaving the rest.
Fix the issue by setting a bit in struct cfs_bandwidth when
distribute_cfs_runtime is running, so that the code in throttle_cfs_rq can
decide to put the throttled entry on the tail or the head of the list. The
bit is set/cleared by the callers of distribute_cfs_runtime while they hold
cfs_bandwidth->lock.
This is easy to reproduce with a handful of CPU consumers. I use 'crash' on
the live system. In some cases you can simply look at the throttled list and
see the later entries are not changing:

Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page
should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging
if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently.
Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the
parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than
a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be
load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay
before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private
pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter
as an identifier of new tasks.
With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though
processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed
a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads
are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process.

A CFS (SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_IDLE policy) task's
se->runnable_weight must always be in sync with its se->load.weight.
se->runnable_weight is set to se->load.weight when the task is
forked (init_entity_runnable_average()) or reniced (reweight_entity()).
There are two cases in set_load_weight() which since they currently only
set se->load.weight could lead to a situation in which se->load.weight
is different to se->runnable_weight for a CFS task:
(1) A task switches to SCHED_IDLE.
(2) A SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR or SCHED_DEADLINE task which has been reniced
(during which only its static priority gets set) switches to
SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH.
Set se->runnable_weight to se->load.weight in these two cases to prevent
this. This eliminates the need to explicitly set it to se->load.weight
during PELT updates in the CFS scheduler fastpath.

LB_BIAS allows the adjustment on how conservative load should be
balanced.
The rq->cpu_load[idx] array is used for this functionality. It contains
weighted CPU load decayed average values over different intervals
(idx = 1..4). Idx = 0 is the weighted CPU load itself.
The values are updated during scheduler_tick, before idle balance and at
nohz exit.
There are 5 different types of idx's per sched domain (sd). Each of them
is used to index into the rq->cpu_load[idx] array in a specific scenario
(busy, idle and newidle for load balancing, forkexec for wake-up
slow-path load balancing and wake for affine wakeup based on weight).
Only the sd idx's for busy and idle load balancing are set to 2,3 or 1,2
respectively. All the other sd idx's are set to 0.
Conservative load balancing is achieved for sd idx's >= 1 by using the
min/max (source_load()/target_load()) value between the current weighted
CPU load and the rq->cpu_load[sd idx -1] for the busiest(idlest)/local
CPU load in load balancing or vice versa in the wake-up slow-path load
balancing.
There is no conservative balancing for sd idx = 0 since only current
weighted CPU load is used in this case.
It is very likely that LB_BIAS' influence on load balancing can be
neglected (see test results below). This is further supported by:
(1) Weighted CPU load today is by itself a decayed average value (PELT)
(cfs_rq->avg->runnable_load_avg) and not the instantaneous load
(rq->load.weight) it was when LB_BIAS was introduced.
(2) Sd imbalance_pct is used for CPU_NEWLY_IDLE and CPU_NOT_IDLE (relate
to sd's newidle and busy idx) in find_busiest_group() when comparing
busiest and local avg load to make load balancing even more
conservative.
(3) The sd forkexec and newidle idx are always set to 0 so there is no
adjustment on how conservatively load balancing is done here.
(4) Affine wakeup based on weight (wake_affine_weight()) will not be
impacted since the sd wake idx is always set to 0.
Let's disable LB_BIAS by default for a few kernel releases to make sure
that no workload and no scheduler topology is affected. The benefit of
being able to remove the LB_BIAS dependency from source_load() and
target_load() is that the entire rq->cpu_load[idx] code could be removed
in this case.
It is really hard to say if there is no regression w/o testing this with
a lot of different workloads on a lot of different platforms, especially
NUMA machines.
The following 104 LKP (Linux Kernel Performance) tests were run by the

The 'prefer sibling' sched_domain flag is intended to encourage
spreading tasks to sibling sched_domain to take advantage of more caches
and core for SMT systems. It has recently been changed to be on all
non-NUMA topology level. However, spreading across domains with CPU
capacity asymmetry isn't desirable, e.g. spreading from high capacity to
low capacity CPUs even if high capacity CPUs aren't overutilized might
give access to more cache but the CPU will be slower and possibly lead
to worse overall throughput.
To prevent this, we need to remove SD_PREFER_SIBLING on the sched_domain
level immediately below SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY.

When lower capacity CPUs are load balancing and considering to pull
something from a higher capacity group, we should not pull tasks from a
CPU with only one task running as this is guaranteed to impede progress
for that task. If there is more than one task running, load balance in
the higher capacity group would have already made any possible moves to
resolve imbalance and we should make better use of system compute
capacity by moving a task if we still have more than one running.

Idle balance is a great opportunity to pull a misfit task. However,
there are scenarios where misfit tasks are present but idle balance is
prevented by the overload flag.
A good example of this is a workload of n identical tasks. Let's suppose
we have a 2+2 Arm big.LITTLE system. We then spawn 4 fairly
CPU-intensive tasks - for the sake of simplicity let's say they are just
CPU hogs, even when running on big CPUs.
They are identical tasks, so on an SMP system they should all end at
(roughly) the same time. However, in our case the LITTLE CPUs are less
performing than the big CPUs, so tasks running on the LITTLEs will have
a longer completion time.
This means that the big CPUs will complete their work earlier, at which
point they should pull the tasks from the LITTLEs. What we want to
happen is summarized as follows:
a,b,c,d are our CPU-hogging tasks _ signifies idling
LITTLE_0 | a a a a _ _
LITTLE_1 | b b b b _ _
---------|-------------
big_0 | c c c c a a
big_1 | d d d d b b
^
^
Tasks end on the big CPUs, idle balance happens
and the misfit tasks are pulled straight away
This however won't happen, because currently the overload flag is only
set when there is any CPU that has more than one runnable task - which
may very well not be the case here if our CPU-hogging workload is all
there is to run.
As such, this commit sets the overload flag in update_sg_lb_stats when
a group is flagged as having a misfit task.

sizeof(_Bool) is implementation defined, so let's just go with 'int' as
is done for other structures e.g. sched_domain_shared->has_idle_cores.
The local 'overload' variable used in update_sd_lb_stats can remain
bool, as it won't impact any struct layout and can be assigned to the

There already are a few conditions in nohz_kick_needed() to ensure
a nohz kick is triggered, but they are not enough for some misfit
task scenarios. Excluding asym packing, those are:
- rq->nr_running >=2: Not relevant here because we are running a
misfit task, it needs to be migrated regardless and potentially through
active balance.
- sds->nr_busy_cpus > 1: If there is only the misfit task being run
on a group of low capacity CPUs, this will be evaluated to False.
- rq->cfs.h_nr_running >=1 && check_cpu_capacity(): Not relevant here,
misfit task needs to be migrated regardless of rt/IRQ pressure
As such, this commit adds an rq->misfit_task_load condition to trigger a
nohz kick.
The idea to kick a nohz balance for misfit tasks originally came from
Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>, and a similar patch was submitted for
the Android Common Kernel - see:

On asymmetric CPU capacity systems load intensive tasks can end up on
CPUs that don't suit their compute demand. In this scenarios 'misfit'
tasks should be migrated to CPUs with higher compute capacity to ensure
better throughput. group_misfit_task indicates this scenario, but tweaks
to the load-balance code are needed to make the migrations happen.
Misfit balancing only makes sense between a source group of lower
per-CPU capacity and destination group of higher compute capacity.
Otherwise, misfit balancing is ignored. group_misfit_task has lowest
priority so any imbalance due to overload is dealt with first.
The modifications are:
1. Only pick a group containing misfit tasks as the busiest group if the
destination group has higher capacity and has spare capacity.
2. When the busiest group is a 'misfit' group, skip the usual average
load and group capacity checks.
3. Set the imbalance for 'misfit' balancing sufficiently high for a task
to be pulled ignoring average load.
4. Pick the CPU with the highest misfit load as the source CPU.
5. If the misfit task is alone on the source CPU, go for active
balancing.

The current sg->min_capacity tracks the lowest per-CPU compute capacity
available in the sched_group when rt/irq pressure is taken into account.
Minimum capacity isn't the ideal metric for tracking if a sched_group
needs offloading to another sched_group for some scenarios, e.g. a
sched_group with multiple CPUs if only one is under heavy pressure.
Tracking maximum capacity isn't perfect either but a better choice for
some situations as it indicates that the sched_group definitely compute
capacity constrained either due to rt/irq pressure on all CPUs or
asymmetric CPU capacities (e.g. big.LITTLE).

To maximize throughput in systems with asymmetric CPU capacities (e.g.
ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider task and CPU utilization
as well as per-CPU compute capacity when load-balancing in addition to
the current average load based load-balancing policy. Tasks with high
utilization that are scheduled on a lower capacity CPU need to be
identified and migrated to a higher capacity CPU if possible to maximize
throughput.
To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: 'group_misfit_task'. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has one or more tasks that are not
suitable for its per-CPU capacity. 'group_misfit_task' is only considered
if the system is not overloaded or imbalanced ('group_imbalanced' or
'group_overloaded').
Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each CPU is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY sched_domain flag is supposed to mark the
sched_domain in the hierarchy where all CPU capacities are visible for
any CPU's point of view on asymmetric CPU capacity systems. The
scheduler can then take to take capacity asymmetry into account when
balancing at this level. It also serves as an indicator for how wide
task placement heuristics have to search to consider all available CPU
capacities as asymmetric systems might often appear symmetric at
smallest level(s) of the sched_domain hierarchy.
The flag has been around for while but so far only been set by
out-of-tree code in Android kernels. One solution is to let each
architecture provide the flag through a custom sched_domain topology
array and associated mask and flag functions. However,
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is special in the sense that it depends on the
capacity and presence of all CPUs in the system, i.e. when hotplugging
all CPUs out except those with one particular CPU capacity the flag
should disappear even if the sched_domains don't collapse. Similarly,
the flag is affected by cpusets where load-balancing is turned off.
Detecting when the flags should be set therefore depends not only on
topology information but also the cpuset configuration and hotplug
state. The arch code doesn't have easy access to the cpuset
configuration.
Instead, this patch implements the flag detection in generic code where
cpusets and hotplug state is already taken care of. All the arch is
responsible for is to implement arch_scale_cpu_capacity() and force a
full rebuild of the sched_domain hierarchy if capacities are updated,
e.g. later in the boot process when cpufreq has initialized.

It can happen that load_balance() finds a busiest group and then a
busiest rq but the calculated imbalance is in fact 0.
In such situation, detach_tasks() returns immediately and lets the
flag LBF_ALL_PINNED set. The busiest CPU is then wrongly assumed to
have pinned tasks and removed from the load balance mask. then, we
redo a load balance without the busiest CPU. This creates wrong load
balance situation and generates wrong task migration.
If the calculated imbalance is 0, it's useless to try to find a
busiest rq as no task will be migrated and we can return immediately.
This situation can happen with heterogeneous system or smp system when
RT tasks are decreasing the capacity of some CPUs.

When a task which previously ran on a given CPU is remotely queued to
wake up on that same CPU, there is a period where the task's state is
TASK_WAKING and its vruntime is not normalized. This is not accounted
for in vruntime_normalized() which will cause an error in the task's
vruntime if it is switched from the fair class during this time.
For example if it is boosted to RT priority via rt_mutex_setprio(),
rq->min_vruntime will not be subtracted from the task's vruntime but
it will be added again when the task returns to the fair class. The
task's vruntime will have been erroneously doubled and the effective
priority of the task will be reduced.
Note this will also lead to inflation of all vruntimes since the doubled
vruntime value will become the rq's min_vruntime when other tasks leave
the rq. This leads to repeated doubling of the vruntime and priority
penalty.
Fix this by recognizing a WAKING task's vruntime as normalized only if
sched_remote_wakeup is true. This indicates a migration, in which case
the vruntime would have been normalized in migrate_task_rq_fair().

update_blocked_averages() is called to periodiccally decay the stalled load
of idle CPUs and to sync all loads before running load balance.
When cfs rq is idle, it trigs a load balance during pick_next_task_fair()
in order to potentially pull tasks and to use this newly idle CPU. This
load balance happens whereas prev task from another class has not been put
and its utilization updated yet. This may lead to wrongly account running
time as idle time for RT or DL classes.
Test that no RT or DL task is running when updating their utilization in
update_blocked_averages().
We still update RT and DL utilization instead of simply skipping them to
make sure that all metrics are synced when used during load balance.

This is a preparation patch for converting sys_sched_rr_get_interval to
work with 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures. The 'interval' argument
is changed to struct __kernel_timespec, which will be redefined using
64-bit time_t in the future. The compat version of the system call in
turn is enabled for compilation with CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME so
the individual 32-bit architectures can share the handling of the
traditional argument with 64-bit architectures providing it for their
compat mode.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:
Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.
The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:
old new
--- ---
compat_time_t old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32()
As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.
I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.
This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

something only for very special cases. The part starts using
PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group

- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers
This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of
a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.
He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockde and the latency tracers
just get called directly (without using the trace events).
But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely
we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs
disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not
allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes
an NMI safe SRCU API.
- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
- Addition of mcount-nop option support
- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.
- Various other fixes and clean ups.

before the merge window opened.

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

Add a function calculate_sigpending to test to see if any signals are
pending for a new task immediately following fork. Signals have to
happen either before or after fork. Today our practice is to push
all of the signals to before the fork, but that has the downside that
frequent or periodic signals can make fork take much much longer than
normal or prevent fork from completing entirely.
So we need move signals that we can after the fork to prevent that.
This updates the code to set TIF_SIGPENDING on a new task if there
are signals or other activities that have moved so that they appear
to happen after the fork.
As the code today restarts if it sees any such activity this won't
immediately have an effect, as there will be no reason for it
to set TIF_SIGPENDING immediately after the fork.
Adding calculate_sigpending means the code in fork can safely be
changed to not always restart if a signal is pending.
The new calculate_sigpending function sets sigpending if there
are pending bits in jobctl, pending signals, the freezer needs
to freeze the new task or the live kernel patching framework
need the new thread to take the slow path to userspace.
I have verified that setting TIF_SIGPENDING does make a new process
take the slow path to userspace before it executes it's first userspace
instruction.
I have looked at the callers of signal_wake_up and the code paths
setting TIF_SIGPENDING and I don't see anything else that needs to be
handled. The code probably doesn't need to set TIF_SIGPENDING for the
kernel live patching as it uses a separate thread flag as well. But
at this point it seems safer reuse the recalc_sigpending logic and get
the kernel live patching folks to sort out their story later.
V2: I have moved the test into schedule_tail where siglock can
be grabbed and recalc_sigpending can be reused directly.
Further as the last action of setting up a new task this
guarantees that TIF_SIGPENDING will be properly set in the
new process.
The helper calculate_sigpending takes the siglock and
uncontitionally sets TIF_SIGPENDING and let's recalc_sigpending
clear TIF_SIGPENDING if it is unnecessary. This allows reusing
the existing code and keeps maintenance of the conditions simple.
Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> suggested the movement
and pointed out the need to take siglock if this code
was going to be called while the new task is discoverable.

This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.
Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.
* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
3 users of the events exist:
- Lockdep
- irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
- irqs and preempt trace events
The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.
In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:
PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING
| | \ | |
\ (selects) / \ \ (selects) /
TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS
\ /
\ (depends on) /
PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.
I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.

task_numa_find_cpu() helps to find the CPU to swap/move the task to.
It's guarded by numa_has_capacity(). However node not having capacity
shouldn't deter a task swapping if it helps NUMA placement.
Further load_too_imbalanced(), which evaluates possibilities of move/swap,
provides similar checks as numa_has_capacity.
Hence remove numa_has_capacity() to enhance possibilities of task
swapping even if load is imbalanced.

There are checks in migrate_swap_stop() that check if the task/CPU
combination is as per migrate_swap_arg before migrating.
However atleast one of the two tasks to be swapped by migrate_swap() could
have migrated to a completely different CPU before updating the
migrate_swap_arg. The new CPU where the task is currently running could
be a different node too. If the task has migrated, numa balancer might
end up placing a task in a wrong node. Instead of achieving node
consolidation, it may end up spreading the load across nodes.
To avoid that pass the CPUs as additional parameters.
While here, place migrate_swap under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

Currently preferred node is set to dst_nid which is the last node in the
iteration whose group weight or task weight is greater than the current
node. However it doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the numa capacity
to move. It also doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the best_cpu which
is the CPU/node ideal for node migration.
Lets consider faults on a 4 node system with group weight numbers
in different nodes being in 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 proportion. Consider the task
is running on 3 and 0 is its preferred node but its capacity is full.
Consider nodes 1, 2 and 3 have capacity. Then the task should be
migrated to node 1. Currently the task gets moved to node 2. env.dst_nid
points to the last node whose faults were greater than current node.
Modify to set the preferred node based of best_cpu. Earlier setting
preferred node was skipped if nr_active_nodes is 1. This could result in
the task being moved out of the preferred node to a random node during
regular load balancing.
Also while modifying task_numa_migrate(), use sched_setnuma to set
preferred node. This ensures out numa accounting is correct.

Currently load_too_imbalance() cares about the slope of imbalance.
It doesn't care of the direction of the imbalance.
However this may not work if nodes that are being compared have
dissimilar capacities. Few nodes might have more cores than other nodes
in the system. Also unlike traditional load balance at a NUMA sched
domain, multiple requests to migrate from the same source node to same
destination node may run in parallel. This can cause huge load
imbalance. This is specially true on a larger machines with either large
cores per node or more number of nodes in the system. Hence allow
move/swap only if the imbalance is going to reduce.

Although we can rely on cpuacct to present the CPU usage of task
groups, it is hard to tell how intense the competition is between
these groups on CPU resources.
Monitoring the wait time or sched_debug of each process could be
very expensive, and there is no good way to accurately represent the
conflict with these info, we need the wait time on group dimension.
Thus we introduce group's wait_sum to represent the resource conflict
between task groups, which is simply the sum of the wait time of
the group's cfs_rq.
The 'cpu.stat' is modified to show the statistic, like:
nr_periods 0
nr_throttled 0
throttled_time 0
wait_sum 2035098795584
Now we can monitor the changes of wait_sum to tell how much a
a task group is suffering in the fight of CPU resources.
For example:
(wait_sum - last_wait_sum) * 100 / (nr_cpu * period_ns) == X%
means the task group paid X percentage of period on waiting
for the CPU.

to 0 when !CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
But the compiler is not able to optimize the sequence (at least with
aarch64 GCC 7.2.1):
free *= (max - irq);
free /= max;
when irq is fixed to 0
Add a new inline function scale_irq_capacity() that will scale utilization
when irq is accounted. Reuse this funciton in schedutil which applies

NO_RT_RUNTIME_SHARE feature is used to prevent a CPU borrow enough
runtime with a spin-rt-task.
However, if RT_RUNTIME_SHARE feature is enabled and rt_rq has borrowd
enough rt_runtime at the beginning, rt_runtime can't be restored to
its initial bandwidth rt_runtime after we disable RT_RUNTIME_SHARE.
E.g. on my PC with 4 cores, procedure to reproduce:
1) Make sure RT_RUNTIME_SHARE is enabled
cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS START_DEBIT NO_NEXT_BUDDY LAST_BUDDY
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY WAKEUP_PREEMPTION NO_HRTICK NO_DOUBLE_TICK

NO_WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK RT_PUSH_IPI RT_RUNTIME_SHARE NO_LB_MIN
ATTACH_AGE_LOAD WA_IDLE WA_WEIGHT WA_BIAS
2) Start a spin-rt-task
./loop_rr &
3) set affinity to the last cpu
taskset -p 8 $pid_of_loop_rr
4) Observe that last cpu have borrowed enough runtime.
cat /proc/sched_debug | grep rt_runtime
.rt_runtime : 950.000000
.rt_runtime : 900.000000
.rt_runtime : 950.000000
.rt_runtime : 1000.000000
5) Disable RT_RUNTIME_SHARE
echo NO_RT_RUNTIME_SHARE > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
6) Observe that rt_runtime can not been restored
cat /proc/sched_debug | grep rt_runtime
.rt_runtime : 950.000000
.rt_runtime : 900.000000
.rt_runtime : 950.000000

There are 11 interpretations of the requirements described in the header
comment for smp_mb__after_spinlock(): one for each LKMM maintainer, and
one currently encoded in the Cat file. Stick to the latter (until a more
satisfactory solution is available).
This also reworks some snippets related to the barrier to illustrate the
requirements and to link them to the idioms which are relied upon at its

wake_woken_function() synchronizes with wait_woken() as follows:
[wait_woken] [wake_woken_function]
entry->flags &= ~wq_flag_woken; condition = true;
smp_mb(); smp_wmb();
if (condition) wq_entry->flags |= wq_flag_woken;
break;
This commit replaces the above smp_wmb() with an smp_mb() in order to
guarantee that either wait_woken() sees the wait condition being true
or the store to wq_entry->flags in woken_wake_function() follows the
store in wait_woken() in the coherence order (so that the former can
eventually be observed by wait_woken()).
The commit also fixes a comment associated to set_current_state() in
wait_woken(): the comment pairs the barrier in set_current_state() to
the above smp_wmb(), while the actual pairing involves the barrier in
set_current_state() and the barrier executed by the try_to_wake_up()
in wake_woken_function().

get_cpu() disables preemption for the entire sched_fork() function.
This get_cpu() was introduced in commit:
dd41f596cd ("sched: cfs core code")
... which also invoked sched_balance_self() and this function
required preemption do be off.
Today, sched_balance_self() seems to be moved to ->task_fork callback
which is invoked while the ->pi_lock is held.
set_load_weight() could invoke reweight_task() which then via $callchain
might end up in smp_processor_id() but since `update_load' is false
this won't happen.
I didn't find any this_cpu*() or similar usage during the initialisation
of the task_struct.
The `cpu' value (from get_cpu()) is only used later in __set_task_cpu()
while the ->pi_lock lock is held.
Based on this it is possible to remove get_cpu() and use
smp_processor_id() for the `cpu' variable without breaking anything.

The time spent executing IRQ handlers can be significant but it is not reflected
in the utilization of CPU when deciding to choose an OPP. Now that we have
access to this metric, schedutil can take it into account when selecting
the OPP for a CPU.
RQS utilization don't see the time spend under interrupt context and report
their value in the normal context time window. We need to compensate this when
adding interrupt utilization
The CPU utilization is:
IRQ util_avg + (1 - IRQ util_avg / max capacity ) * /Sum rq util_avg
A test with iperf on hikey (octo arm64) gives the following speedup:
iperf -c server_address -r -t 5

interrupt and steal time are the only remaining activities tracked by
rt_avg. Like for sched classes, we can use PELT to track their average
utilization of the CPU. But unlike sched class, we don't track when
entering/leaving interrupt; Instead, we take into account the time spent
under interrupt context when we update rqs' clock (rq_clock_task).
This also means that we have to decay the normal context time and account
for interrupt time during the update.
That's also important to note that because:
rq_clock == rq_clock_task + interrupt time
and rq_clock_task is used by a sched class to compute its utilization, the
util_avg of a sched class only reflects the utilization of the time spent
in normal context and not of the whole time of the CPU. The utilization of
interrupt gives an more accurate level of utilization of CPU.
The CPU utilization is:
avg_irq + (1 - avg_irq / max capacity) * /Sum avg_rq
Most of the time, avg_irq is small and neglictible so the use of the
approximation CPU utilization = /Sum avg_rq was enough.

Add both CFS and RT utilization when selecting an OPP for CFS tasks as RT
can preempt and steal CFS's running time.
RT util_avg is used to take into account the utilization of RT tasks
on the CPU when selecting OPP. If a RT task migrate, the RT utilization
will not migrate but will decay over time. On an overloaded CPU, CFS
utilization reflects the remaining utilization avialable on CPU. When RT
task migrates, the CFS utilization will increase when tasks will start to
use the newly available capacity. At the same pace, RT utilization will
decay and both variations will compensate each other to keep unchanged
overall utilization and will prevent any OPP drop.

When a new task wakes-up for the first time, its initial utilization
is set to half of the spare capacity of its CPU. The current
implementation of post_init_entity_util_avg() uses SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
directly as a capacity reference. As a result, on a big.LITTLE system, a
new task waking up on an idle little CPU will be given ~512 of util_avg,
even if the CPU's capacity is significantly less than that.
Fix this by computing the spare capacity with arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

syzkaller reproducer runs a bunch of threads that constantly switch
between DEADLINE and NORMAL classes while interacting through futexes.
The splat above is caused by the fact that if a DEADLINE task is setattr
back to NORMAL while in non_contending state (blocked on a futex -
inactive timer armed), its contribution to running_bw is not removed
before sub_rq_bw() gets called (!task_on_rq_queued() branch) and the
latter sees running_bw > this_bw.
Fix it by removing a task contribution from running_bw if the task is
not queued and in non_contending state while switched to a different
class.

Furthermore, Oleg noticed that the whole scheduler TASK_PARKED

preemption disabled, the current code can still complete early on
preemption :/
So basically revert that earlier fix and go with a variant of the
alternative mentioned in the commit. Promote TASK_PARKED to special
state to avoid the store-store issue on task->state leading to the
WARN in kthread_unpark() -> __kthread_bind().
But in addition, add wait_task_inactive() to kthread_park() to ensure
the task really is PARKED when we return from kthread_park(). This
avoids the whole kthread still gets migrated nonsense -- although it
would be really good to get this done differently.

When a cfs_rq is throttled, parent cfs_rq->nr_running is decreased and
everything happens at cfs_rq level. Currently util_est stays unchanged
in such case and it keeps accounting the utilization of throttled tasks.
This can somewhat make sense as we don't dequeue tasks but only throttled
cfs_rq.
If a task of another group is enqueued/dequeued and root cfs_rq becomes
idle during the dequeue, util_est will be cleared whereas it was
accounting util_est of throttled tasks before. So the behavior of util_est
is not always the same regarding throttled tasks and depends of side
activity. Furthermore, util_est will not be updated when the cfs_rq is
unthrottled as everything happens at cfs_rq level. Main results is that
util_est will stay null whereas we now have running tasks. We have to wait
for the next dequeue/enqueue of the previously throttled tasks to get an
up to date util_est.
Remove the assumption that cfs_rq's estimated utilization of a CPU is 0
if there is no running task so the util_est of a task remains until the
latter is dequeued even if its cfs_rq has been throttled.

I noticed that cgroup task groups constantly get throttled even
if they have low CPU usage, this causes some jitters on the response
time to some of our business containers when enabling CPU quotas.
It's very simple to reproduce:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo 100000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo $$ > tasks
then repeat:
cat cpu.stat | grep nr_throttled # nr_throttled will increase steadily
After some analysis, we found that cfs_rq::runtime_remaining will
be cleared by expire_cfs_rq_runtime() due to two equal but stale
"cfs_{b|q}->runtime_expires" after period timer is re-armed.
The current condition to judge clock drift in expire_cfs_rq_runtime()
is wrong, the two runtime_expires are actually the same when clock
drift happens, so this condtion can never hit. The orginal design was
correctly done by this commit:
a9cf55b286 ("sched: Expire invalid runtime")
... but was changed to be the current implementation due to its locking bug.
This patch introduces another way, it adds a new field in both structures
cfs_rq and cfs_bandwidth to record the expiration update sequence, and
uses them to figure out if clock drift happens (true if they are equal).

With commit:
8f111bc357 ("cpufreq/schedutil: Rewrite CPUFREQ_RT support")
the schedutil governor uses rq->rt.rt_nr_running to detect whether an
RT task is currently running on the CPU and to set frequency to max
if necessary.
cpufreq_update_util() is called in enqueue/dequeue_top_rt_rq() but
rq->rt.rt_nr_running has not been updated yet when dequeue_top_rt_rq() is
called so schedutil still considers that an RT task is running when the
last task is dequeued. The update of rq->rt.rt_nr_running happens later
in dequeue_rt_stack().
In fact, we can take advantage of the sequence that the dequeue then
re-enqueue rt entities when a rt task is enqueued or dequeued;
As a result enqueue_top_rt_rq() is always called when a task is
enqueued or dequeued and also when groups are throttled or unthrottled.
The only place that not use enqueue_top_rt_rq() is when root rt_rq is
throttled.

This happens when the remote tick applies on an idle task. Usually the
idle_cpu() check avoids that, but it is performed before we lock the
runqueue and it is therefore racy. It was intended to be that way in
order to prevent from useless runqueue locks since idle task tick
callback is a no-op.
Now if the racy check slips out of our hands and we end up remotely
ticking an idle task, the empty task_tick_idle() is harmless. Still
it won't pass the WARN_ON_ONCE() test that ensures rq_clock_task() is
not too far from curr->se.exec_start because update_curr_idle() doesn't
update the exec_start value like other scheduler policies. Hence the
reported false positive.
So let's have another check, while the rq is locked, to make sure we
don't remote tick on an idle task. The lockless idle_cpu() still applies
to avoid unecessary rq lock contention.

Linus noted that swait basically implements exclusive mode -- because
swake_up() only wakes a single waiter. And because of that it should
take care to properly deal with the interruptible case.
In short, the problem is that swake_up() can race with a signal. In
this this case it is possible the swake_up() 'wakes' the waiter that
is already on the way out because it just got a signal and the wakeup
gets lost.
The normal wait code is very careful and avoids this situation, make
sure we do too.
Copy the exact exclusive semantics from wait.

During a context switch, we first switch_mm() to the next task's mm,
then switch_to() that new task. This means that vmalloc'd regions which
had previously been faulted in can transiently disappear in the context
of the prev task.
Functions instrumented by KCOV may try to access a vmalloc'd kcov_area
during this window, and as the fault handling code is instrumented, this
results in a recursive fault.
We must avoid accessing any kcov_area during this window. We can do so
with a new flag in kcov_mode, set prior to switching the mm, and cleared
once the new task is live. Since task_struct::kcov_mode isn't always a
specific enum kcov_mode value, this is made an unsigned int.
The manipulation is hidden behind kcov_{prepare,finish}_switch() helpers,
which are empty for !CONFIG_KCOV kernels.
The code uses macros because I can't use static inline functions without a
circular include dependency between <linux/sched.h> and <linux/kcov.h>,
since the definition of task_struct uses things defined in <linux/kcov.h>

Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace
memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two
purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the
current CPU number value from user-space.
* Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics)
Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on
per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.
The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started
by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of
critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a
few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other
architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path.
Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases.
Test hardware:
arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core
x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading
The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread.
* Per-CPU statistic counter increment
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 344.0 31.4 11.0
x86-64: 15.3 2.0 7.7
* LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer
per-cpu buffer
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 2502.0 2250.0 1.1
x86-64: 117.4 98.0 1.2
* liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 751.0 128.5 5.8
x86-64: 53.4 28.6 1.9
* jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq
Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on
rseq 2016 implementation):
The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and
the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%.
* Reading the current CPU number
Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is
running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the
cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done
by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the
current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler
updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory
area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from
memory.
Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and
user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read
the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over
alternative approaches:
- 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc
- 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso
executing a "lsl" instruction,
- 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction,
- Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline
assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable
sequences.
- The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared
between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the
case for the lsl-based x86 vdso.
On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment
selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs
similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is
not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already
using the gs segment selector for other purposes.
Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number:
ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Machine model: Cubietruck
- Baseline (empty loop): 8.4 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 16.7 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 19.8 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu: 301.8 ns
- getcpu system call: 234.9 ns
x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz:
- Baseline (empty loop): 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 0.8 ns
- Read using gs segment selector: 0.8 ns
- "lsl" inline assembly: 13.0 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu: 16.6 ns
- getcpu system call: 53.9 ns
- Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset)
Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to
expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the
scheduler:
Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @
2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy
saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1
kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig,
restartable sequences series applied.
* CONFIG_RSEQ=n
avg.: 41.37 s
std.dev.: 0.36 s
* CONFIG_RSEQ=y
avg.: 40.46 s
std.dev.: 0.33 s
- Size
On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is
567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

Fix the problem by updating the clock right after task_rq_lock().

select_task_rq() is used in a few paths to select the CPU upon which a
thread should be run - for example it is used by try_to_wake_up() & by
fork or exec balancing. As-is it allows use of any online CPU that is
present in the task's cpus_allowed mask.
This presents a problem because there is a period whilst CPUs are
brought online where a CPU is marked online, but is not yet fully
initialized - ie. the period where CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE <= state <
CPUHP_ONLINE. Usually we don't run any user tasks during this window,
but there are corner cases where this can happen. An example observed
is:
- Some user task A, running on CPU X, forks to create task B.
- sched_fork() calls __set_task_cpu() with cpu=X, setting task B's
task_struct::cpu field to X.
- CPU X is offlined.
- Task A, currently somewhere between the __set_task_cpu() in
copy_process() and the call to wake_up_new_task(), is migrated to
CPU Y by migrate_tasks() when CPU X is offlined.
- CPU X is onlined, but still in the CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE state. The
scheduler is now active on CPU X, but there are no user tasks on
the runqueue.
- Task A runs on CPU Y & reaches wake_up_new_task(). This calls
select_task_rq() with cpu=X, taken from task B's task_struct,
and select_task_rq() allows CPU X to be returned.
- Task A enqueues task B on CPU X's runqueue, via activate_task() &
enqueue_task().
- CPU X now has a user task on its runqueue before it has reached the
CPUHP_ONLINE state.
In most cases, the user tasks that schedule on the newly onlined CPU
have no idea that anything went wrong, but one case observed to be
problematic is if the task goes on to invoke the sched_setaffinity
syscall. The newly onlined CPU reaches the CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE state
before the CPU that brought it online calls stop_machine_unpark(). This
means that for a portion of the window of time between
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE & CPUHP_ONLINE the newly onlined CPU's struct
cpu_stopper has its enabled field set to false. If a user thread is
executed on the CPU during this window and it invokes sched_setaffinity
with a CPU mask that does not include the CPU it's running on, then when
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr() calls stop_one_cpu() intending to invoke
migration_cpu_stop() and perform the actual migration away from the CPU
it will simply return -ENOENT rather than calling migration_cpu_stop().
We then return from the sched_setaffinity syscall back to the user task
that is now running on a CPU which it just asked not to run on, and
which is not present in its cpus_allowed mask.
This patch resolves the problem by having select_task_rq() enforce that
user tasks run on CPUs that are active - the same requirement that
select_fallback_rq() already enforces. This should ensure that newly
onlined CPUs reach the CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE state before being able to
schedule user tasks, and also implies that bringup_wait_for_ap() will
have called stop_machine_unpark() which resolves the sched_setaffinity
issue above.
I haven't yet investigated them, but it may be of interest to review
whether any of the actions performed by hotplug states between
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE & CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE could have similar unintended
effects on user tasks that might schedule before they are reached, which
might widen the scope of the problem from just affecting the behaviour
of sched_setaffinity.

As already enforced by the WARN() in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), the rules
for running on an online && !active CPU are stricter than just being a
kthread, you need to be a per-cpu kthread.
If you're not strictly per-CPU, you have better CPUs to run on and
don't need the partially booted one to get your work done.
The exception is to allow smpboot threads to bootstrap the CPU itself
and get kernel 'services' initialized before we allow userspace on it.

When a task is enqueued the estimated utilization of a CPU is updated
to better support the selection of the required frequency.
However, schedutil is (implicitly) updated by update_load_avg() which
always happens before util_est_{en,de}queue(), thus potentially
introducing a latency between estimated utilization updates and
frequency selections.
Let's update util_est at the beginning of enqueue_task_fair(),
which will ensure that all schedutil updates will see the most
updated estimated utilization value for a CPU.

Since the refactoring introduced by:
commit 8f111bc357 ("cpufreq/schedutil: Rewrite CPUFREQ_RT support")
we aggregate FAIR utilization only if this class has runnable tasks.
This was mainly due to avoid the risk to stay on an high frequency just
because of the blocked utilization of a CPU not being properly decayed
while the CPU was idle.
However, since:
commit 31e77c93e4 ("sched/fair: Update blocked load when newly idle")
the FAIR blocked utilization is properly decayed also for IDLE CPUs.
This allows us to use the FAIR blocked utilization as a safe mechanism
to gracefully reduce the frequency only if no FAIR tasks show up on a
CPU for a reasonable period of time.
Moreover, we also reduce the frequency drops of CPUs running periodic
tasks which, depending on the task periodicity and the time required
for a frequency switch, was increasing the chances to introduce some
undesirable performance variations.

Commit 152db033d7 (schedutil: Allow cpufreq requests to be made
even when kthread kicked) made changes to prevent utilization updates
from being discarded during processing a previous request, but it
left a small window in which that still can happen in the one-CPU
policy case. Namely, updates coming in after setting work_in_progress
in sugov_update_commit() and clearing it in sugov_work() will still
be dropped due to the work_in_progress check in sugov_update_single().
To close that window, rearrange the code so as to acquire the update
lock around the deferred update branch in sugov_update_single()
and drop the work_in_progress check from it.

Currently there is a chance of a schedutil cpufreq update request to be
dropped if there is a pending update request. This pending request can
be delayed if there is a scheduling delay of the irq_work and the wake
up of the schedutil governor kthread.
A very bad scenario is when a schedutil request was already just made,
such as to reduce the CPU frequency, then a newer request to increase
CPU frequency (even sched deadline urgent frequency increase requests)
can be dropped, even though the rate limits suggest that its Ok to
process a request. This is because of the way the work_in_progress flag
is used.
This patch improves the situation by allowing new requests to happen
even though the old one is still being processed. Note that in this
approach, if an irq_work was already issued, we just update next_freq
and don't bother to queue another request so there's no extra work being
done to make this happen.

The iowait boosting code has been recently updated to add a progressive
boosting behavior which allows to be less aggressive in boosting tasks
doing only sporadic IO operations, thus being more energy efficient for
example on mobile platforms.
The current code is now however a bit convoluted. Some functionalities
(e.g. iowait boost reset) are replicated in different paths and their
documentation is slightly misaligned.
Let's cleanup the code by consolidating all the IO wait boosting related
functionality within within few dedicated functions and better define
their role:
- sugov_iowait_boost: set/increase the IO wait boost of a CPU
- sugov_iowait_apply: apply/reduce the IO wait boost of a CPU
Both these two function are used at every sugov update and they make
use of a unified IO wait boost reset policy provided by:
- sugov_iowait_reset: reset/disable the IO wait boost of a CPU
if a CPU is not updated for more then one tick
This makes possible a cleaner and more self-contained design for the IO
wait boosting code since the rest of the sugov update routines, both for
single and shared frequency domains, follow the same template:
/* Configure IO boost, if required */
sugov_iowait_boost()
/* Return here if freq change is in progress or throttled */
/* Collect and aggregate utilization information */
sugov_get_util()
sugov_aggregate_util()
/*
* Add IO boost, if currently enabled, on top of the aggregated
* utilization value
*/
sugov_iowait_apply()
As a extra bonus, let's also add the documentation for the new
functions and better align the in-code documentation.

A more energy efficient update of the IO wait boosting mechanism has
been introduced in:
commit a5a0809bc5 ("cpufreq: schedutil: Make iowait boost more energy efficient")
where the boost value is expected to be:
- doubled at each successive wakeup from IO
staring from the minimum frequency supported by a CPU
- reset when a CPU is not updated for more then one tick
by either disabling the IO wait boost or resetting its value to the
minimum frequency if this new update requires an IO boost.
This approach is supposed to "ignore" boosting for sporadic wakeups from
IO, while still getting the frequency boosted to the maximum to benefit
long sequence of wakeup from IO operations.
However, these assumptions are not always satisfied.
For example, when an IO boosted CPU enters idle for more the one tick
and then wakes up after an IO wait, since in sugov_set_iowait_boost() we
first check the IOWAIT flag, we keep doubling the iowait boost instead
of restarting from the minimum frequency value.
This misbehavior could happen mainly on non-shared frequency domains,
thus defeating the energy efficiency optimization, but it can also
happen on shared frequency domain systems.
Let fix this issue in sugov_set_iowait_boost() by:
- first check the IO wait boost reset conditions
to eventually reset the boost value
- then applying the correct IO boost value
if required by the caller

The schedutil driver sets sg_policy->next_freq to UINT_MAX on certain
occasions to discard the cached value of next freq:
- In sugov_start(), when the schedutil governor is started for a group
of CPUs.
- And whenever we need to force a freq update before rate-limit
duration, which happens when:
- there is an update in cpufreq policy limits.
- Or when the utilization of DL scheduling class increases.
In return, get_next_freq() doesn't return a cached next_freq value but
recalculates the next frequency instead.
But having special meaning for a particular value of frequency makes the
code less readable and error prone. We recently fixed a bug where the
UINT_MAX value was considered as valid frequency in
sugov_update_single().
All we need is a flag which can be used to discard the value of
sg_policy->next_freq and we already have need_freq_update for that. Lets
reuse it instead of setting next_freq to UINT_MAX.

This reverts commit e2cabe48c2.
Lifting the restriction that the sugov kthread is bound to the
policy->related_cpus for a system with a slow switching cpufreq driver,
which is able to perform DVFS from any cpu (e.g. cpufreq-dt), is not
only not beneficial it also harms Enery-Aware Scheduling (EAS) on
systems with asymmetric cpu capacities (e.g. Arm big.LITTLE).
The sugov kthread which does the update for the little cpus could
potentially run on a big cpu. It could prevent that the big cluster goes
into deeper idle states although all the tasks are running on the little
cluster.
Example: hikey960 w/ 4.16.0-rc6-+

The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu0. (In this
case both sugov kthreads run on little cpus).
cross policy (cluster) remote callback example:

sugov:4-1490 [000] sugov_work: this_cpu=0
sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
...
The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=5) is executed on cpu=0.
(2) w/ the revert:
root@h960:~# ps -eo pid,class,rtprio,pri,psr,comm | awk 'NR == 1 ||

1491 #6 0 140 2 sugov:0

cross policy (cluster) remote callback example:

migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=7

sugov:4-1492 [004] sugov_work: this_cpu=4
sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
...
The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=7) is executed on cpu=4.
Now the sugov kthread executes again on the policy (cluster) for which
the Operating Performance Point (OPP) should be changed.
It avoids the problem that an otherwise idle policy (cluster) is running
schedutil (the sugov kthread) for another one.

... we distinguish between idle_cpu() when the vCPU is not running for
scheduling threads.
However, the idle_cpu() function is used in other places for
actually checking whether the state of the CPU is idle or not.
Hence split the use of that function based on the desired return value,
by introducing the available_idle_cpu() function.
This fixes a (slight) regression in that initial vCPU commit, because
some code paths (like the load-balancer) don't care and shouldn't care
if the vCPU is preempted or not, they just want to know if there's any
tasks on the CPU.

Threads share an address space and each can change the protections of the
same address space to trap NUMA faults. This is redundant and potentially
counter-productive as any thread doing the update will suffice. Potentially
only one thread is required but that thread may be idle or it may not have
any locality concerns and pick an unsuitable scan rate.
This patch uses independent scan period but they are staggered based on
the number of address space users when the thread is created. The intent
is that threads will avoid scanning at the same time and have a chance
to adapt their scan rate later if necessary. This reduces the total scan
activity early in the lifetime of the threads.
The different in headline performance across a range of machines and
workloads is marginal but the system CPU usage is reduced as well as overall
scan activity. The following is the time reported by NAS Parallel Benchmark
using unbound openmp threads and a D size class:
4.17.0-rc1 4.17.0-rc1

Time ua.D 400.58 ( 0.00%) 386.49 ( 3.52%)
Note it's not a universal win but we have no prior knowledge of which
thread matters but the number of threads created often exceeds the size
of the node when the threads are not bound. However, there is a reducation
of overall system CPU usage:
4.17.0-rc1 4.17.0-rc1
vanilla stagger-v1r1
sys-time-bt.D 48.78 ( 0.00%) 48.22 ( 1.15%)

sys-time-ua.D 51.52 ( 0.00%) 45.13 ( 12.40%)
NUMA scan activity is also reduced:
NUMA alloc local 1042828 1342670
NUMA base PTE updates 140481138 93577468
NUMA huge PMD updates 272171 180766

NUMA hint faults 1395972 1193897
NUMA hint local faults 877925 855053
NUMA hint local percent 62 71
NUMA pages migrated 12057909 9158023
Similar observations are made for other thread-intensive workloads. System
CPU usage is lower even though the headline gains in performance tend to be
small. For example, specjbb 2005 shows almost no difference in performance
but scan activity is reduced by a third on a 4-socket box. I didn't find
a workload (thread intensive or otherwise) that suffered badly.

This reverts commit 7347fc87df.
Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show
a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling
active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent.
The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance
if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled,
the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent.
Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested,
using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new
numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a
revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine
and socket count.
The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby
wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the
appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where
a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did
not apply. This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke
all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that
specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately,
but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However,
the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious,
it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.

If the next_freq field of struct sugov_policy is set to UINT_MAX,
it shouldn't be used for updating the CPU frequency (this is a
special "invalid" value), but after commit b7eaf1aab9 (cpufreq:
schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely) it
may be passed as the new frequency to sugov_update_commit() in
sugov_update_single().
Fix that by adding an extra check for the special UINT_MAX value
of next_freq to sugov_update_single().

Gaurav reported a perceived problem with TASK_PARKED, which turned out
to be a broken wait-loop pattern in __kthread_parkme(), but the
reported issue can (and does) in fact happen for states that do not do
condition based sleeps.
When the 'current->state = TASK_RUNNING' store of a previous
(concurrent) try_to_wake_up() collides with the setting of a 'special'
sleep state, we can loose the sleep state.
Normal condition based wait-loops are immune to this problem, but for
sleep states that are not condition based are subject to this problem.
There already is a fix for TASK_DEAD. Abstract that and also apply it
to TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED, both of which are also without
condition based wait-loop.

Even with the wait-loop fixed, there is a further issue with
kthread_parkme(). Upon hotplug, when we do takedown_cpu(),
smpboot_park_threads() can return before all those threads are in fact
blocked, due to the placement of the complete() in __kthread_parkme().
When that happens, sched_cpu_dying() -> migrate_tasks() can end up
migrating such a still runnable task onto another CPU.
Normally the task will have hit schedule() and gone to sleep by the
time we do kthread_unpark(), which will then do __kthread_bind() to
re-bind the task to the correct CPU.
However, when we loose the initial TASK_PARKED store to the concurrent
wakeup issue described previously, do the complete(), get migrated, it
is possible to either:
- observe kthread_unpark()'s clearing of SHOULD_PARK and terminate
the park and set TASK_RUNNING, or
- __kthread_bind()'s wait_task_inactive() to observe the competing
TASK_RUNNING store.
Either way the WARN() in __kthread_bind() will trigger and fail to
correctly set the CPU affinity.
Fix this by only issuing the complete() when the kthread has scheduled
out. This does away with all the icky 'still running' nonsense.
The alternative is to promote TASK_PARKED to a special state, this
guarantees wait_task_inactive() cannot observe a 'stale' TASK_RUNNING
and we'll end up doing the right thing, but this preserves the whole
icky business of potentially migating the still runnable thing.

...
In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped,
reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle
state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the
"nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not
to stop the tick.
This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes
tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer
event and the number returned by the latter comes from
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). Fortunately, however, it is possible
to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with
the help of the existing code.
Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call
tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the
next non-highres timer event. If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event()
need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again.
If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going
forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be
stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to
the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock
event device.
In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(),
however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the
next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded,
which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event().
That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return
value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption
that the tick will be stopped. It can be returned to the idle
governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the
assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or
not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the
selected idle state.
With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not
necessary any more, so drop it.

Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the ->select
cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating
whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the
selected state to be returned from there.
Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its
current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through
it if:
(1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or
(2) the selected state is a polling one, or
(3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period
range.
In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu
governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be
stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor
values. To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update()
behavior when tick wakeup occurs. Namely, if the CPU is woken up by
the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not
within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too
short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating
the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time.
Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of
cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by
itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then
continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results. This is
likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far
the culprit remains elusive.
Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current
task, similar to the existing check for init_mm. This way, we can catch
this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN.
Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to
init_mm. This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we
must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.

Make cpuidle_idle_call() decide whether or not to stop the tick.
First, the cpuidle_enter_s2idle() path deals with the tick (and with
the entire timekeeping for that matter) by itself and it doesn't need
the tick to be stopped beforehand.
Second, to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the tick has been stopped, it will be
necessary to change the ordering of cpuidle_select() with respect
to tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). To prepare for that, put a

Push the decision whether or not to stop the tick somewhat deeper
into the idle loop.
Stopping the tick upfront leads to unpleasant outcomes in case the
idle governor doesn't agree with the nohz code on the duration of the
upcoming idle period. Specifically, if the tick has been stopped and
the idle governor predicts short idle, the situation is bad regardless
of whether or not the prediction is accurate. If it is accurate, the
tick has been stopped unnecessarily which means excessive overhead.
If it is not accurate, the CPU is likely to spend too much time in
the (shallow, because short idle has been predicted) idle state
selected by the governor [1].
As the first step towards addressing this problem, change the code
to make the tick stopping decision inside of the loop in do_idle().
In particular, do not stop the tick in the cpu_idle_poll() code path.
Also don't do that in tick_nohz_irq_exit() which doesn't really have
enough information on whether or not to stop the tick.

Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to

code, in order to later be able to delay the tick stop once we reach
more power-knowledgeable callers.
Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from
__tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside.
Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead
of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper
disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.

As a replacement for the wait_on_atomic_t() API provide the
wait_var_event() API.
The wait_var_event() API is based on the very same hashed-waitqueue
idea, but doesn't care about the type (atomic_t) or the specific
condition (atomic_read() == 0). IOW. it's much more widely
applicable/flexible.
It shares all the benefits/disadvantages of a hashed-waitqueue
approach with the existing wait_on_atomic_t/wait_on_bit() APIs.
The API is modeled after the existing wait_event() API, but instead of
taking a wait_queue_head, it takes an address. This addresses is
hashed to obtain a wait_queue_head from the bit_wait_table.
Similar to the wait_event() API, it takes a condition expression as
second argument and will wait until this expression becomes true.
The following are (mostly) identical replacements:
wait_on_atomic_t(&my_atomic, atomic_t_wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
wake_up_atomic_t(&my_atomic);
wait_var_event(&my_atomic, !atomic_read(&my_atomic));
wake_up_var(&my_atomic);
The only difference is that wake_up_var() is an unconditional wakeup
and doesn't check the previously hard-coded (atomic_read() == 0)
condition here. This is of little concequence, since most callers are
already conditional on atomic_dec_and_test() and the ones that are
not, are trivial to make so.

The estimated utilization of a task is currently updated every time the
task is dequeued. However, to keep overheads under control, PELT signals
are effectively updated at maximum once every 1ms.
Thus, for really short running tasks, it can happen that their util_avg
value has not been updates since their last enqueue. If such tasks are
also frequently running tasks (e.g. the kind of workload generated by
hackbench) it can also happen that their util_avg is updated only every
few activations.
This means that updating util_est at every dequeue potentially introduces
not necessary overheads and it's also conceptually wrong if the util_avg
signal has never been updated during a task activation.
Let's introduce a throttling mechanism on task's util_est updates
to sync them with util_avg updates. To make the solution memory
efficient, both in terms of space and load/store operations, we encode a
synchronization flag into the LSB of util_est.enqueued.
This makes util_est an even values only metric, which is still
considered good enough for its purpose.
The synchronization bit is (re)set by __update_load_avg_se() once the
PELT signal of a task has been updated during its last activation.
Such a throttling mechanism allows to keep under control util_est
overheads in the wakeup hot path, thus making it a suitable mechanism
which can be enabled also on high-intensity workload systems.
Thus, this now switches on by default the estimation utilization
scheduler feature.

When schedutil looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value for
that CPU is returned straight away. In certain scenarios this can have
undesired side effects and delays on frequency selection.
For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, a
long sleeping big task newly enqueued does not add immediately a
significant contribution to the target CPU. This introduces some latency
before schedutil will be able to detect the best frequency required by
that task.
Moreover, the PELT signal build-up time is a function of the current
frequency, because of the scale invariant load tracking support. Thus,
starting from a lower frequency, the utilization build-up time will
increase even more and further delays the selection of the actual
frequency which better serves the task requirements.
In order to reduce these kind of latencies, we integrate the usage
of the CPU's estimated utilization in the sugov_get_util function.
This allows to properly consider the expected utilization of a CPU which,
for example, has just got a big task running after a long sleep period.
Ultimately this allows to select the best frequency to run a task
right after its wake-up.

When the scheduler looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value
for a CPU is returned straight away. In certain scenarios this can have
undesired side effects on task placement.
For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, when
a long sleeping big task is enqueued it does not add immediately a
significant contribution to the target CPU.
As a result we generate a race condition where other tasks can be placed
on the same CPU while it is still considered relatively empty.
In order to reduce this kind of race conditions, this patch introduces the
required support to integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization
in the wakeup path, via cpu_util_wake(), as well as in the load-balance
path, via cpu_util() which is used by update_sg_lb_stats().
The estimated utilization of a CPU is defined to be the maximum between
its PELT's utilization and the sum of the estimated utilization (at
previous dequeue time) of all the tasks currently RUNNABLE on that CPU.
This allows to properly represent the spare capacity of a CPU which, for
example, has just got a big task running since a long sleep period.

The util_avg signal computed by PELT is too variable for some use-cases.
For example, a big task waking up after a long sleep period will have its
utilization almost completely decayed. This introduces some latency before
schedutil will be able to pick the best frequency to run a task.
The same issue can affect task placement. Indeed, since the task
utilization is already decayed at wakeup, when the task is enqueued in a
CPU, this can result in a CPU running a big task as being temporarily
represented as being almost empty. This leads to a race condition where
other tasks can be potentially allocated on a CPU which just started to run
a big task which slept for a relatively long period.
Moreover, the PELT utilization of a task can be updated every [ms], thus
making it a continuously changing value for certain longer running
tasks. This means that the instantaneous PELT utilization of a RUNNING
task is not really meaningful to properly support scheduler decisions.
For all these reasons, a more stable signal can do a better job of
representing the expected/estimated utilization of a task/cfs_rq.
Such a signal can be easily created on top of PELT by still using it as
an estimator which produces values to be aggregated on meaningful
events.
This patch adds a simple implementation of util_est, a new signal built on
top of PELT's util_avg where:
util_est(task) = max(task::util_avg, f(task::util_avg@dequeue))
This allows to remember how big a task has been reported by PELT in its
previous activations via f(task::util_avg@dequeue), which is the new
_task_util_est(struct task_struct*) function added by this patch.
If a task should change its behavior and it runs longer in a new
activation, after a certain time its util_est will just track the
original PELT signal (i.e. task::util_avg).
The estimated utilization of cfs_rq is defined only for root ones.
That's because the only sensible consumer of this signal are the
scheduler and schedutil when looking for the overall CPU utilization
due to FAIR tasks.
For this reason, the estimated utilization of a root cfs_rq is simply
defined as:
util_est(cfs_rq) = max(cfs_rq::util_avg, cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued)
where:
cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued = sum(_task_util_est(task))
for each RUNNABLE task on that root cfs_rq
It's worth noting that the estimated utilization is tracked only for
objects of interests, specifically:
- Tasks: to better support tasks placement decisions
- root cfs_rqs: to better support both tasks placement decisions as
well as frequencies selection
