Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows
extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA
migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the
actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found.
Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so
that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse
and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That
is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue
specific parts of it.
In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less
expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads
waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to
figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding
the excessive spinlock hold times.
That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least
fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular:
(a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit
we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of
the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just
causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers.
(b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of
the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is
that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads
that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway.
Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is
an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to
match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It
so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end
up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first
member in struct page.

The frequency update from the utilization update handlers can be divided
into two parts:
(A) Finding the next frequency
(B) Updating the frequency
While any CPU can do (A), (B) can be restricted to a group of CPUs only,
depending on the current platform.
For platforms where fast cpufreq switching is possible, both (A) and (B)
are always done from the same CPU and that CPU should be capable of
changing the frequency of the target CPU.
But for platforms where fast cpufreq switching isn't possible, after
doing (A) we wake up a kthread which will eventually do (B). This
kthread is already bound to the right set of CPUs, i.e. only those which
can change the frequency of CPUs of a cpufreq policy. And so any CPU
can actually do (A) in this case, as the frequency is updated from the
right set of CPUs only.
Check cpufreq_can_do_remote_dvfs() only for the fast switching case.

Utilization update callbacks are now processed remotely, even on the
CPUs that don't share cpufreq policy with the target CPU (if
dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu flag is set).
But in non-fast switch paths, the frequency is changed only from one of
policy->related_cpus. This happens because the kthread which does the
actual update is bound to a subset of CPUs (i.e. related_cpus).
Allow frequency to be remotely updated as well (i.e. call
__cpufreq_driver_target()) if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu flag is set.

CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID is a special symbol which is used to specify that
an entry in the cpufreq table is invalid. But using it outside of the
scope of the cpufreq table looks a bit incorrect.
We can represent an invalid frequency by writing it as 0 instead if we
need. Note that it is already done that way for the return value of the
->get() callback.
Lets do the same for ->fast_switch() and not use CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID
outside of the scope of cpufreq table.
Also update the comment over cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() to clearly
mention what this returns.
None of the drivers return CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID as of now from
->fast_switch() callback and so we don't need to update any of those.

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.

Currently the iowait_boost feature in schedutil makes the frequency
go to max on iowait wakeups. This feature was added to handle a case
that Peter described where the throughput of operations involving
continuous I/O requests [1] is reduced due to running at a lower
frequency, however the lower throughput itself causes utilization to
be low and hence causing frequency to be low hence its "stuck".
Instead of going to max, its also possible to achieve the same effect
by ramping up to max if there are repeated in_iowait wakeups
happening. This patch is an attempt to do that. We start from a lower
frequency (policy->min) and double the boost for every consecutive
iowait update until we reach the maximum iowait boost frequency
(iowait_boost_max).
I ran a synthetic test (continuous O_DIRECT writes in a loop) on an
x86 machine with intel_pstate in passive mode using schedutil. In
this test the iowait_boost value ramped from 800MHz to 4GHz in 60ms.
The patch achieves the desired improved throughput as the existing
behavior.

[ Prettified the changelog. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
With a shared policy in place, when one of the CPUs in the policy is
hotplugged out and then brought back online, sugov_stop() and
sugov_start() are called in order.
sugov_stop() removes utilization hooks for each CPU in the policy and
does nothing else in the for_each_cpu() loop. sugov_start() on the
other hand iterates through the CPUs in the policy and re-initializes
the per-cpu structure _and_ adds the utilization hook. This implies
that the scheduler is allowed to invoke a CPU's utilization update
hook when the rest of the per-cpu structures have yet to be
re-inited.
Apart from some strange values in tracepoints this doesn't cause a
problem, but if we do end up accessing a pointer from the per-cpu
sugov_cpu structure somewhere in the sugov_update_shared() path,
we will likely see crashes since the memset for another CPU in the
policy is free to race with sugov_update_shared from the CPU that is
ready to go. So let's fix this now to first init all per-cpu
structures, and then add the per-cpu utilization update hooks all at
once.

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.

Currently the cputime source used by vtime is jiffies. When we cross
a context boundary and jiffies have changed since the last snapshot, the
pending cputime is accounted to the switching out context.
This system works ok if the ticks are not aligned across CPUs. If they
instead are aligned (ie: all fire at the same time) and the CPUs run in
userspace, the jiffies change is only observed on tick exit and therefore
the user cputime is accounted as system cputime. This is because the
CPU that maintains timekeeping fires its tick at the same time as the
others. It updates jiffies in the middle of the tick and the other CPUs
see that update on IRQ exit:
CPU 0 (timekeeper) CPU 1
------------------- -------------
jiffies = N
... run in userspace for a jiffy
tick entry tick entry (sees jiffies = N)
set jiffies = N + 1
tick exit tick exit (sees jiffies = N + 1)
account 1 jiffy as stime
Fix this with using a nanosec clock source instead of jiffies. The
cputime is then accumulated and flushed everytime the pending delta
reaches a jiffy in order to mitigate the accounting overhead.
[ fweisbec: changelog, rebase on struct vtime, field renames, add delta
on cputime readers, keep idle vtime as-is (low overhead accounting),
harmonize clock sources. ]

The current "snapshot" based naming on vtime fields suggests we record
some past event but that's a low level picture of their actual purpose
which comes out blurry. The real point of these fields is to run a basic

contexts.

Add the value of the rt_rq.rt_nr_migratory and dl_rq.dl_nr_migratory
to the sched_debug output, for instance:
rt_rq[0]:
.rt_nr_running : 2
.rt_nr_migratory : 1 <--- Like this
.rt_throttled : 0
.rt_time : 828.645877
.rt_runtime : 1000.000000
This is useful to debug problems related to the RT/DL schedulers.
This also fixes the format of some variables, that were unsigned, rather
than signed.

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
of those benchmarks.

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.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.
Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.
To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:
struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry
For example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {
... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {

The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they
are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues.
Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while
over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality.
So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality
out of it, into a separate .h and .c file:
include/linux/wait_bit.h for types and APIs
kernel/sched/wait_bit.c for the implementation
Update all header dependencies.
This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

So wait-bit-queue head variables are often named:
struct wait_bit_queue *q
... which is a bit ambiguous and super confusing, because
they clearly suggest wait-queue head semantics and behavior
(they rhyme with the old wait_queue_t *q naming), while they
are extended wait-queue _entries_, not heads!
They are misnomers in two ways:
- the 'wait_bit_queue' leaves open the question of whether
it's an entry or a head
- the 'q' parameter and local variable naming falsely implies
that it's a 'queue' - while it's an entry.
This resulted in sometimes confusing cases such as:
finish_wait(wq, &q->wait);
where the 'q' is not a wait-queue head, but a wait-bit-queue entry.
So improve this all by standardizing wait-bit-queue nomenclature
similar to wait-queue head naming:
struct wait_bit_queue => struct wait_bit_queue_entry
q => wbq_entry
Which makes it all a much clearer:
struct wait_bit_queue_entry *wbq_entry
... and turns the former confusing piece of code into:
finish_wait(wq_head, &wbq_entry->wq_entry;
which IMHO makes it apparently clear what we are doing,
without having to analyze the context of the code: we are
adding a wait-queue entry to a regular wait-queue head,
which entry is embedded in a wait-bit-queue entry.
I'm not a big fan of acronyms, but repeating wait_bit_queue_entry
in field and local variable names is too long, so Hopefully it's
clear enough that 'wq_' prefixes stand for wait-queues, while
'wbq_' prefixes stand for wait-bit-queues.

The wait-queue head parameters and variables are named in a
couple of ways, we have the following variants currently:
wait_queue_head_t *q
wait_queue_head_t *wq
wait_queue_head_t *head
In particular the 'wq' naming is ambiguous in the sense whether it's
a wait-queue head or entry name - as entries were often named 'wait'.
( Not to mention the confusion of any readers coming over from
workqueue-land. )
Standardize all this around a single, unambiguous parameter and
variable name:
struct wait_queue_head *wq_head
which is easy to grep for and also rhymes nicely with the wait-queue
entry naming:
struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry
Also rename:
struct __wait_queue_head => struct wait_queue_head
... and use this struct type to migrate from typedefs usage to 'struct'
usage, which is more in line with existing kernel practices.
Don't touch any external users and preserve the main wait_queue_head_t
typedef.

So the various wait-queue entry variables in include/linux/wait.h
and kernel/sched/wait.c are named in a colorfully inconsistent
way:
wait_queue_entry_t *wait
wait_queue_entry_t *__wait (even in plain C code!)
wait_queue_entry_t *q (!)
wait_queue_entry_t *new (making anyone who knows C++ cringe)
wait_queue_entry_t *old
I think part of the reason for the inconsistency is the constant
apparent confusion about what a wait queue 'head' versus 'entry' is.
( Some of the documentation talks about a 'wait descriptor', which is
the wait-queue entry itself - further adding to the confusion. )
The most common name is 'wait', but that in itself is somewhat
ambiguous as well, as it does not really make it clear whether
it's a wait-queue entry or head.
To improve all this name the wait-queue entry structure parameters
and variables consistently and push through this naming into all
the wait.h and wait.c code:
struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry
The 'wq_' prefix makes it easy to grep for, and we also use the
opportunity to move away from the typedef to a plain 'struct' naming:
in the kernel we typically reserve typedefs for cases where a
C structure is really small and somewhat opaque - such as pte_t.
wait-queue entries are neither small nor opaque, so use the more
standard 'struct xxx_entry' list management code nomenclature instead.
( We don't touch external users, and we preserve the typedef as well
for actual wait-queue users, to reduce unnecessary churn. )

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.
