sched/fair: Disable LB_BIAS by default
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
0-Day guys mostly on multi-socket hosts with a larger number of logical
cpus (88, 192).
The base for the test was commit

sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates
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.

sched/fair: Add util_est on top of PELT
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

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness
The current load balancer may not try to prevent a task from moving out of a preferred node to a less preferred node. The reason for this being: - Since sched features NUMA and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER are disabled by default, migrate_degrades_locality() always returns false. - Even if NUMA_RESIST_LOWER were to be enabled, if its cache hot, migrate_degrades_locality() never gets called. The above behaviour can mean that tasks can move out of their preferred node but they may be eventually be brought back to their preferred node by numa balancer (due to higher numa faults). To avoid the above, this commit merges migrate_degrades_locality() and migrate_improves_locality(). It also replaces 3 sched features NUMA, NUMA_FAVOUR_HIGHER and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER by a single sched feature NUMA.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to 500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the runqueue locks. Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to the pulling of RT tasks. The test that was run was the following: cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100 This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures its latencies. cyclictest is maintained at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried to grab that task in a thundering herd way. To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait time escalated. I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity. Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the push/pull algorithm still works fine. With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run. Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds. I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled by default. When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push. To enabled or disable this at run time: # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug # echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features or # echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the same problem. The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched: Rename capacity related flags
It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too liberally.

sched/numa: Favour moving tasks towards the preferred node
This patch favours moving tasks towards NUMA node that recorded a higher number of NUMA faults during active load balancing. Ideally this is self-reinforcing as the longer the task runs on that node, the more faults it should incur causing task_numa_placement to keep the task running on that node. In reality a big weakness is that the nodes CPUs can be overloaded and it would be more efficient to queue tasks on an idle node and migrate to the new node. This would require additional smarts in the balancer so for now the balancer will simply prefer to place the task on the preferred node for a PTE scans which is controlled by the numa_balancing_settle_count sysctl. Once the settle_count number of scans has complete the schedule is free to place the task on an alternative node if the load is imbalanced.

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma
Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node
Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node. This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load balancing to take place.

mm: numa: Add fault driven placement and migration
NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by. This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the node the CPU is running on. In itself this does nothing useful but any placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.
