46609ce227 sched/uclamp: Protect uclamp fast path code with static key
There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/

While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.

As soon as the user start using util clamp by:

	1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
	2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
	3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup

We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.

This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.

SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq->uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.

In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.

The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.

85c2ce9104 sched, vmlinux.lds: Increase STRUCT_ALIGNMENT to 64 bytes for GCC-4.9
For some mysterious reason GCC-4.9 has a 64 byte section alignment for
structures, all other GCC versions (and Clang) tested (including 4.8
and 5.0) are fine with the 32 bytes alignment.

Getting this right is important for the new SCHED_DATA macro that
creates an explicitly ordered array of 'struct sched_class' in the
linker script and expect pointer arithmetic to work.

b4118988fd sched/deadline: Make DL capacity-aware
The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling
algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization.
This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed
to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous
systems.

A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity
to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms
period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity).

Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission
control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if:

    CPU original capacity / 1024 >= task runtime / task deadline

Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which
meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration.

On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission
control should be retained.

60ffd5edc5 sched/deadline: Improve admission control for asymmetric CPU capacities
The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) admission control ensures that

    sum of reserved CPU bandwidth < x * M

where

    x = /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_{runtime,period}_us
    M = # CPUs in root domain.

DL admission control works well for homogeneous systems where the
capacity of all CPUs are equal (1024). I.e. bounded tardiness for DL
and non-starvation of non-DL tasks is guaranteed.

But on heterogeneous systems where capacity of CPUs are different it
could fail by over-allocating CPU time on smaller capacity CPUs.

On an Arm big.LITTLE/DynamIQ system DL tasks can easily starve other
tasks making it unusable.

Fix this by explicitly considering the CPU capacity in the DL admission
test by replacing M with the root domain CPU capacity sum.

a148866489 sched: Replace rq::wake_list
The recent commit: 90b5363acd ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()")
got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will
return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not
atomic and still requires external serialization.

The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong.

While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set
that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in
the right place to actually guarantee this serialization.

The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop;
that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD.

Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.

2ebb177175 sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling
The previous commit:

  c6e7bd7afa: ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")

avoids spinning on p->on_rq when the task is descheduling, but only if the
wakee is on a CPU that does not share cache with the waker.

This patch offloads the activation of the wakee to the CPU that is about to
go idle if the task is the only one on the runqueue. This potentially allows
the waker task to continue making progress when the wakeup is not strictly
synchronous.

This is very obvious with netperf UDP_STREAM running on localhost. The
waker is sending packets as quickly as possible without waiting for any
reply. It frequently wakes the server for the processing of packets and
when netserver is using local memory, it quickly completes the processing
and goes back to idle. The waker often observes that netserver is on_rq
and spins excessively leading to a drop in throughput.

This is a comparison of 5.7-rc6 against "sched: Optimize ttwu() spinning
on p->on_cpu" and against this patch labeled vanilla, optttwu-v1r1 and
localwakelist-v1r2 respectively.

Note that this benefit is not universal to all wakeups, it only applies
to the case where the waker often spins on p->on_rq.

The impact can be seen from a "perf sched latency" report generated from
a single iteration of one packet size:

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Task                  |   Runtime ms  | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms | Maximum delay at       |
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    netserver:4338        |  14629.459 ms |  5146990 | avg:    0.001 ms | max: 1615.864 ms | max at:    140.134496 s

  localwakelist-v1r2
    netperf:4339          |  29789.717 ms |     2460 | avg:    0.002 ms | max:    0.059 ms | max at:    138.205389 s
    netserver:4340        |  18858.767 ms |  7279005 | avg:    0.001 ms | max:    0.362 ms | max at:    135.709683 s
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that the average wakeup delay is quite small on both the vanilla
kernel and with the two patches applied. However, there are significant
outliers with the vanilla kernel with the maximum one measured as 1615
milliseconds with a vanilla kernel but never worse than 0.362 ms with
both patches applied and a much higher rate of context switching.

Similarly a separate profile of cycles showed that 2.83% of all cycles
were spent in try_to_wake_up() with almost half of the cycles spent
on spinning on p->on_rq. With the two patches, the percentage of cycles
spent in try_to_wake_up() drops to 1.13%

to_ratio() could be altered to avoid unnecessary internal overflow, but
min_cfs_quota_period is less than 1 << BW_SHIFT, so a cutoff would still
be needed. Set a cap MAX_BW for cfs_quota_us and rt_runtime_us to

04f5c362ec sched/fair: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

90b5363acd sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()
The scheduler IPI has grown weird and wonderful over the years, time
for spring cleaning.

Move all the non-trivial stuff out of it and into a regular smp function
call IPI. This then reduces the schedule_ipi() to most of it's former NOP
glory and ensures to keep the interrupt vector lean and mean.

Aside of that avoiding the full irq_enter() in the x86 IPI implementation
is incorrect as scheduler_ipi() can be instrumented. To work around that
scheduler_ipi() had an irq_enter/exit() hack when heavy work was
pending. This is gone now.

d91cecc156 sched: Make newidle_balance() static again
After Commit 6e2df0581f ("sched: Fix pick_next_task() vs 'change'
pattern race"), there is no need to expose newidle_balance() as it
is only used within fair.c file. Change this function back to static again.

No functional change.

ab93a4bc95 sched/fair: Remove distribute_running from CFS bandwidth
This is mostly a revert of commit:

  baa9be4ffb ("sched/fair: Fix throttle_list starvation with low CFS quota")

The primary use of distribute_running was to determine whether to add
throttled entities to the head or the tail of the throttled list. Now
that we always add to the tail, we can remove this field.

The other use of distribute_running is in the slack_timer, so that we
don't start a distribution while one is already running. However, even
in the event that this race occurs, it is fine to have two distributions
running (especially now that distribute grabs the cfs_b->lock to
determine remaining quota before assigning).

d76343c6b2 sched/fair: Align rq->avg_idle and rq->avg_scan_cost
sched/core.c uses update_avg() for rq->avg_idle and sched/fair.c uses an
open-coded version (with the exact same decay factor) for
rq->avg_scan_cost. On top of that, select_idle_cpu() expects to be able to
compare these two fields.

The only difference between the two is that rq->avg_scan_cost is computed
using a pure division rather than a shift. Turns out it actually matters,
first of all because the shifted value can be negative, and the standard
has this to say about it:

  """
  The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. [...] If E1
  has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is
  implementation-defined.
  """

Not only this, but (arithmetic) right shifting a negative value (using 2's
complement) is *not* equivalent to dividing it by the corresponding power
of 2. Let's look at a few examples:

  -4      -> 0xF..FC
  -4 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 != -4 / 8

  -8      -> 0xF..F8
  -8 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 == -8 / 8

  -9      -> 0xF..F7
  -9 >> 3 -> 0xF..FE == -2 != -9 / 8

Make update_avg() use a division, and export it to the private scheduler
header to reuse it where relevant. Note that this still lets compilers use
a shift here, but should prevent any unwanted surprise. The disassembly of
select_idle_cpu() remains unchanged on arm64, and ttwu_do_wakeup() gains 2
instructions; the diff sort of looks like this:

  - sub x1, x1, x0
  + subs x1, x1, x0 // set condition codes
  + add x0, x1, #0x7
  + csel x0, x0, x1, mi // x0 = x1 < 0 ? x0 : x1
    add x0, x3, x0, asr #3

which does the right thing (i.e. gives us the expected result while still
using an arithmetic shift)

   - Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and

   - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
     task placement on thermally overloaded systems.

   - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
     CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
     frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
     via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
     estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
     if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
     usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
     the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)

   - Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
     utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

   - PSI fixes and optimizations.

26cf52229e sched: Avoid scale real weight down to zero
During our testing, we found a case that shares no longer
working correctly, the cgroup topology is like:

  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A		(shares=102400)
  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B	(shares=2)
  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B/C	(shares=1024)

  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D		(shares=1024)
  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E	(shares=1024)
  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E/F	(shares=1024)

The same benchmark is running in group C & F, no other tasks are
running, the benchmark is capable to consumed all the CPUs.

We suppose the group C will win more CPU resources since it could
enjoy all the shares of group A, but it's F who wins much more.

The reason is because we have group B with shares as 2, since
A->cfs_rq.load.weight == B->se.load.weight == B->shares/nr_cpus,
so A->cfs_rq.load.weight become very small.

And in calc_group_shares() we calculate shares as:

  load = max(scale_load_down(cfs_rq->load.weight), cfs_rq->avg.load_avg);
  shares = (tg_shares * load) / tg_weight;

Since the 'cfs_rq->load.weight' is too small, the load become 0
after scale down, although 'tg_shares' is 102400, shares of the se
which stand for group A on root cfs_rq become 2.

While the se of D on root cfs_rq is far more bigger than 2, so it
wins the battle.

Thus when scale_load_down() scale real weight down to 0, it's no
longer telling the real story, the caller will have the wrong
information and the calculation will be buggy.

This patch add check in scale_load_down(), so the real weight will
be >= MIN_SHARES after scale, after applied the group C wins as
expected.

05289b90c2 sched/fair: Enable tuning of decay period
Thermal pressure follows pelt signals which means the decay period for
thermal pressure is the default pelt decay period. Depending on SoC
characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay
thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals.  One way
to achieve this is to provide a command line parameter to set a decay
shift parameter to an integer between 0 and 10.

765047932f sched/pelt: Add support to track thermal pressure
Extrapolating on the existing framework to track rt/dl utilization using
pelt signals, add a similar mechanism to track thermal pressure. The
difference here from rt/dl utilization tracking is that, instead of
tracking time spent by a CPU running a RT/DL task through util_avg, the
average thermal pressure is tracked through load_avg. This is because
thermal pressure signal is weighted time "delta" capacity unlike util_avg
which is binary. "delta capacity" here means delta between the actual
capacity of a CPU and the decreased capacity a CPU due to a thermal event.

In order to track average thermal pressure, a new sched_avg variable
avg_thermal is introduced. Function update_thermal_load_avg can be called
to do the periodic bookkeeping (accumulate, decay and average) of the
thermal pressure.

9f68395333 sched/pelt: Add a new runnable average signal
Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new
signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal
track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the
state of rqs.

At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq:
  A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is
  considered as overloaded.

But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task
migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq.

When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be
higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use
this signal to better classify cfs_rqs.

The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply
adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq
will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity
will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.

52262ee567 sched/fair: Allow a per-CPU kthread waking a task to stack on the same CPU, to fix XFS performance regression
The following XFS commit:

  8ab39f11d9 ("xfs: prevent CIL push holdoff in log recovery")

changed the logic from using bound workqueues to using unbound
workqueues. Functionally this makes sense but it was observed at the
time that the dbench performance dropped quite a lot and CPU migrations
were increased.

The current pattern of the task migration is straight-forward. With XFS,
an IO issuer delegates work to xlog_cil_push_work ()on an unbound kworker.
This runs on a nearby CPU and on completion, dbench wakes up on its old CPU
as it is still idle and no migration occurs. dbench then queues the real
IO on the blk_mq_requeue_work() work item which runs on a bound kworker
which is forced to run on the same CPU as dbench. When IO completes,
the bound kworker wakes dbench but as the kworker is a bound but,
real task, the CPU is not considered idle and dbench gets migrated by
select_idle_sibling() to a new CPU. dbench may ping-pong between two CPUs
for a while but ultimately it starts a round-robin of all CPUs sharing
the same LLC. High-frequency migration on each IO completion has poor
performance overall. It has negative implications both in commication
costs and power management. mpstat confirmed that at low thread counts
that all CPUs sharing an LLC has low level of activity.

Note that even if the CIL patch was reverted, there still would
be migrations but the impact is less noticeable. It turns out that
individually the scheduler, XFS, blk-mq and workqueues all made sensible
decisions but in combination, the overall effect was sub-optimal.

This patch special cases the IO issue/completion pattern and allows
a bound kworker waker and a task wakee to stack on the same CPU if
there is a strong chance they are directly related. The expectation
is that the kworker is likely going back to sleep shortly. This is not
guaranteed as the IO could be queued asynchronously but there is a very
strong relationship between the task and kworker in this case that would
justify stacking on the same CPU instead of migrating. There should be
few concerns about kworker starvation given that the special casing is
only when the kworker is the waker.

Dbench has been modified to report the time to complete a single "load
file". This is a more meaningful metric for dbench that a throughput
metric as the benchmark makes many different system calls that are not
throughput-related

Patch shows a 9.23% and 48.53% reduction in the time to process a load
file with the difference partially explained by the number of CPUs sharing
a LLC. In a separate run, task migrations were almost eliminated by the
patch for low client counts. In case people have issue with the metric
used for the benchmark, this is a comparison of the throughputs as
reported by dbench on the NUMA machine.

1567c3e346 x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance
Implement arch_scale_freq_capacity() for 'modern' x86. This function
is used by the scheduler to correctly account usage in the face of
DVFS.

The present patch addresses Intel processors specifically and has positive
performance and performance-per-watt implications for the schedutil cpufreq
governor, bringing it closer to, if not on-par with, the powersave governor
from the intel_pstate driver/framework.

Large performance gains are obtained when the machine is lightly loaded and
no regression are observed at saturation. The benchmarks with the largest
gains are kernel compilation, tbench (the networking version of dbench) and
shell-intensive workloads.

 | 1. FREQUENCY INVARIANCE: MOTIVATION
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

For example; suppose a CPU has two frequencies: 500 and 1000 Mhz. When
running a task that would consume 1/3rd of a CPU at 1000 MHz, it would
appear to consume 2/3rd (or 66.6%) when running at 500 MHz, giving the
false impression this CPU is almost at capacity, even though it can go
faster [*]. In a nutshell, without frequency scale-invariance tasks look
larger just because the CPU is running slower.

[*] (footnote: this assumes a linear frequency/performance relation; which
everybody knows to be false, but given realities its the best approximation
we can make.)

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 2. PECULIARITIES OF X86
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Accounting for frequency changes in PELT signals requires the computation of
the ratio freq_curr / freq_max. On x86 neither of those terms is readily
available.

2.1 CURRENT FREQUENCY
====================

Since modern x86 has hardware control over the actual frequency we run
at (because amongst other things, Turbo-Mode), we cannot simply use
the frequency as requested through cpufreq.

Instead we use the APERF/MPERF MSRs to compute the effective frequency
over the recent past. Also, because reading MSRs is expensive, don't
do so every time we need the value, but amortize the cost by doing it
every tick.

2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
=================

Obtaining freq_max is also non-trivial because at any time the hardware can
provide a frequency boost to a selected subset of cores if the package has
enough power to spare (eg: Turbo Boost). This means that the maximum frequency
available to a given core changes with time.

The approach taken in this change is to arbitrarily set freq_max to a constant
value at boot. The value chosen is the "4-cores (4C) turbo frequency" on most
microarchitectures, after evaluating the following candidates:

    * 1-core (1C) turbo frequency (the fastest turbo state available)
    * around base frequency (a.k.a. max P-state)
    * something in between, such as 4C turbo

To interpret these options, consider that this is the denominator in
freq_curr/freq_max, and that ratio will be used to scale PELT signals such as
util_avg and load_avg. A large denominator will undershoot (util_avg looks a
bit smaller than it really is), viceversa with a smaller denominator PELT
signals will tend to overshoot. Given that PELT drives frequency selection
in the schedutil governor, we will have:

    freq_max set to     | effect on DVFS
    --------------------+------------------
    1C turbo            | power efficiency (lower freq choices)
    base freq           | performance (higher util_avg, higher freq requests)
    4C turbo            | a bit of both

4C turbo proves to be a good compromise in a number of benchmarks (see below).

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Once an architecture implements a frequency scale-invariant utilization (the
PELT signal util_avg), schedutil switches its frequency selection formula from

    freq_next = 1.25 * freq_curr * util            [non-invariant util signal]

to

    freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * util             [invariant util signal]

where, in the second formula, freq_max is set to the 1C turbo frequency (max
turbo). The advantage of the second formula, whose usage we unlock with this
patch, is that freq_next doesn't depend on the current frequency in an
iterative fashion, but can jump to any frequency in a single update. This
absence of feedback in the formula makes it quicker to react to utilization
changes and more robust against pathological instabilities.

Compare it to the update formula of intel_pstate/powersave:

    freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * Busy%

where again freq_max is 1C turbo and Busy% is the percentage of time not spent
idling (calculated with delta_MPERF / delta_TSC); essentially the same as
invariant schedutil, and largely responsible for intel_pstate/powersave good
reputation. The non-invariant schedutil formula is derived from the invariant
one by approximating util_inv with util_raw * freq_curr / freq_max, but this
has limitations.

Testing shows improved performances due to better frequency selections when
the machine is lightly loaded, and essentially no change in behaviour at
saturation / overutilization.

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

It's been shown that it is possible to create pathological scenarios where a
CPU-bound task cannot reach max utilization, if the normalizing factor
freq_max is fixed to a constant value (see [Lelli-2018]).

If freq_max is set to 4C turbo as we do here, one needs to peg at least 5
cores in a package doing some busywork, and observe that none of those task
will ever reach max util (1024) because they're all running at less than the
4C turbo frequency.

While this concern still applies, we believe the performance benefit of
frequency scale-invariant PELT signals outweights the cost of this limitation.

5.2 SETUP
=========

* The baseline is Linux v5.2 with schedutil (non-invariant) and the intel_pstate
  driver in passive mode.
* The rationale for choosing the various freq_max values to test have been to
  try all the 1-2-3-4C turbo levels (note that 1C and 2C turbo are identical
  on all machines), plus one more value closer to base_freq but still in the
  turbo range (8C turbo for both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA).
* In addition we've run all tests with intel_pstate/powersave for comparison.
* The filesystem is always XFS, the userspace is openSUSE Leap 15.1.
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA is capable of HWP (Hardware-Managed P-States), so the runs
  with active intel_pstate on this machine use that.

This gives, in terms of combinations tested on each machine:

* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA
  * Baseline: Linux v5.2, non-invariant schedutil, intel_pstate passive
  * intel_pstate active + powersave + HWP
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 1C turbo
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 3C turbo
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 4C turbo

* both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA
  * [same as 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA, but no HWP capable]
  * invariant schedutil, freq_max = 8C turbo
    (which on 48x-HASWELL-NUMA is the same as 12C turbo, or "all cores turbo")

5.3 BENCHMARK RESULTS
=====================

5.3.1 NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
------------------------

Tests that didn't show any measurable difference in performance on any of the
test machines between non-invariant schedutil and our patch are:

* NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) using either MPI or openMP for IPC, any
  computational kernel
* flexible I/O (FIO)
* hackbench (using threads or processes, and using pipes or sockets)

5.3.2 NON-NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
----------------------------

What follow are summary tables where each benchmark result is given a score.

* A tilde (~) means a neutral result, i.e. no difference from baseline.
* Scores are computed with the ratio result_new / result_baseline, so a tilde
  means a score of 1.00.
* The results in the score ratio are the geometric means of results running
  the benchmark with different parameters (eg: for kernbench: using 1, 2, 4,
  ... number of processes; for pgbench: varying the number of clients, and so
  on).
* The first three tables show higher-is-better kind of tests (i.e. measured in
  operations/second), the subsequent three show lower-is-better kind of tests
  (i.e. the workload is fixed and we measure elapsed time, think kernbench).
* "gitsource" is a name we made up for the test consisting in running the
  entire unit tests suite of the Git SCM and measuring how long it takes. We
  take it as a typical example of shell-intensive serialized workload.
* In the "I_PSTATE" column we have the results for intel_pstate/powersave. Other
  columns show invariant schedutil for different values of freq_max. 4C turbo
  is circled as it's the value we've chosen for the final implementation.

In the table above we see that active intel_pstate is slightly better than our
4C-turbo patch (both in reference to the baseline non-invariant schedutil) on
read-only pgbench and much better on tbench. Both cases are notable in which
it shows that lowering our freq_max (to 8C-turbo and 12C-turbo on
80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA respectively) helps invariant
schedutil to get closer.

If we ignore active intel_pstate and focus on the comparison with baseline
alone, there are several instances of double-digit performance improvement.

dbench is not very remarkable here, unless we notice how poorly active
intel_pstate is performing on 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA: 23% regression versus
non-invariant schedutil. We repeated that run getting consistent results. Out
of scope for the patch at hand, but deserving future investigation. Other than
that, we previously ran this campaign with Linux v5.0 and saw the patch doing
better on dbench a the time. We haven't checked closely and can only speculate
at this point.

On the NUMA boxes kernbench gets 10-15% improvements on average; we'll see in
the detailed tables that the gains concentrate on low process counts (lightly
loaded machines).

The test we call "gitsource" (running the git unit test suite, a long-running
single-threaded shell script) appears rather spectacular in this table (gains
of 30-50% depending on the machine). It is to be noted, however, that
gitsource has no adjustable parameters (such as the number of jobs in
kernbench, which we average over in order to get a single-number summary
score) and is exactly the kind of low-parallelism workload that benefits the
most from this patch. When looking at the detailed tables of kernbench or
tbench4, at low process or client counts one can see similar numbers.

This is one of the cases where the patch still can't surpass active
intel_pstate, not even when freq_max is as low as 12C-turbo. Otherwise, gains are
visible up to 16 clients and the saturated scenario is the same as baseline.

The scores in the summary table from the previous sections are ratios of
geometric means of the results over different clients, as seen in this table.

The patch outperform active intel_pstate (and baseline) by a considerable
margin; the summary table from the previous section says 4C turbo and active
intel_pstate are 0.83 and 0.93 against baseline respectively, so 4C turbo is
0.83/0.93=0.89 against intel_pstate (~10% better on average). There is no
noticeable difference with regard to the value of freq_max.

In this test, which is of interest as representing shell-intensive
(i.e. fork-intensive) serialized workloads, invariant schedutil outperforms
intel_pstate/powersave by a whopping 40% margin.

5.3.4 POWER CONSUMPTION, PERFORMANCE-PER-WATT
---------------------------------------------

The following table shows average power consumption in watt for each
benchmark. Data comes from turbostat (package average), which in turn is read
from the RAPL interface on CPUs. We know the patch affects CPU frequencies so
it's reasonable to ignore other power consumers (such as memory or I/O). Also,
we don't have a power meter available in the lab so RAPL is the best we have.

turbostat sampled average power every 10 seconds for the entire duration of
each benchmark. We took all those values and averaged them (i.e. with don't
have detail on a per-parameter granularity, only on whole benchmarks).

These results are overall pleasing: in plenty of cases we observe
performance-per-watt improvements. The few regressions (read/write pgbench and
dbench on the Broadwell machine) are of small magnitude. kernbench loses a few
percentage points (it has a 10-15% performance improvement, but apparently the
increase in power consumption is larger than that). tbench4 and gitsource, which
benefit the most from the patch, keep a positive score in this table which is
a welcome surprise; that suggests that in those particular workloads the
non-invariant schedutil (and active intel_pstate, too) makes some rather
suboptimal frequency selections.

Vincent pointed out recently that the canonical type for utilization
values is 'unsigned long'. Internally uclamp uses 'unsigned int' values for

Make the uclamp helpers that deal with utilization use and return unsigned

59fe675248 sched/uclamp: Remove uclamp_util()
The sole user of uclamp_util(), schedutil_cpu_util(), was made to use
uclamp_util_with() instead in commit:

  af24bde8df ("sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute()")

From then on, uclamp_util() has remained unused. Being a simple wrapper
around uclamp_util_with(), we can get rid of it and win back a few lines.

7763baace1 sched/uclamp: Fix overzealous type replacement
Some uclamp helpers had their return type changed from 'unsigned int' to
'enum uclamp_id' by commit

  0413d7f33e ("sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values")

but it happens that some do return a value in the [0, SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE]
range, which should really be unsigned int. The affected helpers are
uclamp_none(), uclamp_rq_max_value() and uclamp_eff_value(). Fix those up.

Note that this doesn't lead to any obj diff using a relatively recent
aarch64 compiler (8.3-2019.03). The current code of e.g. uclamp_eff_value()
properly returns an 11 bit value (bits_per(1024)) and doesn't seem to do
anything funny. I'm still marking this as fixing the above commit to be on
the safe side.

5d7d605642 sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task()
Ever since we moved the sched_class definitions into their own files,
the constant expression {fair,idle}_sched_class.pick_next_task() is
not in fact a compile time constant anymore and results in an indirect
call (barring LTO).

Fix that by exposing pick_next_task_{fair,idle}() directly, this gets
rid of the indirect call (and RETPOLINE) on the fast path.

Also remove the unlikely() from the idle case, it is in fact /the/ way
we select idle -- and that is a very common thing to do.

Performance for will-it-scale/sched_yield improves by 2% (as reported
by 0-day).

6e2df0581f sched: Fix pick_next_task() vs 'change' pattern race
Commit 67692435c4 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path")
inadvertly introduced a race because it changed a previously
unexplored dependency between dropping the rq->lock and
sched_class::put_prev_task().

The comments about dropping rq->lock, in for example
newidle_balance(), only mentions the task being current and ->on_cpu
being set. But when we look at the 'change' pattern (in for example
sched_setnuma()):

	queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
	running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */

	if (queued)
		dequeue_task(...);
	if (running)
		put_prev_task(...);

	/* change task properties */

	if (queued)
		enqueue_task(...);
	if (running)
		set_next_task(...);

It becomes obvious that if we do this after put_prev_task() has
already been called on @p, things go sideways. This is exactly what
the commit in question allows to happen when it does:

	prev->sched_class->put_prev_task(rq, prev, rf);
	if (!rq->nr_running)
		newidle_balance(rq, rf);

The newidle_balance() call will drop rq->lock after we've called
put_prev_task() and that allows the above 'change' pattern to
interleave and mess up the state.

Furthermore, it turns out we lost the RT-pull when we put the last DL
task.

Fix both problems by extracting the balancing from put_prev_task() and
doing a multi-class balance() pass before put_prev_task().

227a4aadc7 sched/membarrier: Fix p->mm->membarrier_state racy load
The membarrier_state field is located within the mm_struct, which
is not guaranteed to exist when used from runqueue-lock-free iteration
on runqueues by the membarrier system call.

Copy the membarrier_state from the mm_struct into the scheduler runqueue
when the scheduler switches between mm.

When registering membarrier for mm, after setting the registration bit
in the mm membarrier state, issue a synchronize_rcu() to ensure the
scheduler observes the change. In order to take care of the case
where a runqueue keeps executing the target mm without swapping to
other mm, iterate over each runqueue and issue an IPI to copy the
membarrier_state from the mm_struct into each runqueue which have the
same mm which state has just been modified.

Move the mm membarrier_state field closer to pgd in mm_struct to use
a cache line already touched by the scheduler switch_mm.

The membarrier_execve() (now membarrier_exec_mmap) hook now needs to
clear the runqueue's membarrier state in addition to clear the mm
membarrier state, so move its implementation into the scheduler
membarrier code so it can access the runqueue structure.

Add memory barrier in membarrier_exec_mmap() prior to clearing
the membarrier state, ensuring memory accesses executed prior to exec
are not reordered with the stores clearing the membarrier state.

As suggested by Linus, move all membarrier.c RCU read-side locks outside
of the for each cpu loops.

0413d7f33e sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values
The supported clamp indexes are defined in 'enum clamp_id', however, because
of the code logic in some of the first utilization clamping series version,
sometimes we needed to use 'unsigned int' to represent indices.

This is not more required since the final version of the uclamp_* APIs can
always use the proper enum uclamp_id type.

Fix it with a bulk rename now that we have all the bits merged.

0b60ba2dd3 sched/uclamp: Propagate parent clamps
In order to properly support hierarchical resources control, the cgroup
delegation model requires that attribute writes from a child group never
fail but still are locally consistent and constrained based on parent's
assigned resources. This requires to properly propagate and aggregate
parent attributes down to its descendants.

Implement this mechanism by adding a new "effective" clamp value for each
task group. The effective clamp value is defined as the smaller value
between the clamp value of a group and the effective clamp value of its
parent. This is the actual clamp value enforced on tasks in a task group.

Since it's possible for a cpu.uclamp.min value to be bigger than the
cpu.uclamp.max value, ensure local consistency by restricting each
"protection" (i.e. min utilization) with the corresponding "limit"
(i.e. max utilization).

Do that at effective clamps propagation to ensure all user-space write
never fails while still always tracking the most restrictive values.

2480c09313 sched/uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller
The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.

With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.

Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.

Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.

Specifically:

- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
	      minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
	      utilization

- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
	      maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
	      utilization

These attributes:

a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
   hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
   interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
   interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.

b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
   are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
   effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
   by the system wide interface.
   This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
   - request whatever clamp values it would like to get
   - effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent

c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
   sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.

Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.

Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.

67692435c4 sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path
Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.

By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().

This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.

Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

de53fd7aed sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of cpu-local slices
It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications
running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of
periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated
amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu
bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when
run on multiple cpu cores.

This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu
bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period.
At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused
slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for
which they are allocated.

The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by
'commit 512ac999d2 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift
condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since
at least 'commit 51f2176d74 ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b->quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That
added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being
expired.

if (cfs_rq->runtime_expires != cfs_b->runtime_expires) {
	/* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */
	cfs_rq->runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC;

Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed
and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion
that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed
altogether.

This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer
than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not
use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer
period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the
above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing
your cpu quota.

This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its
allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the
remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no
more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will
change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their
quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this
provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu
utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they
hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per
period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate
over longer timeframes.

This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound
applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count
machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on
80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance
improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.
That testcase is available at https://github.com/indeedeng/fibtest.

af24bde8df sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute()
The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy impact of waking
up a task on a given CPU. This estimation is based on:

 a) an (active) power consumption defined for each CPU frequency
 b) an estimation of which frequency will be used on each CPU
 c) an estimation of the busy time (utilization) of each CPU

Utilization clamping can affect both b) and c).

A CPU is expected to run:

 - on an higher than required frequency, but for a shorter time, in case
   its estimated utilization will be smaller than the minimum utilization
   enforced by uclamp
 - on a smaller than required frequency, but for a longer time, in case
   its estimated utilization is bigger than the maximum utilization
   enforced by uclamp

While compute_energy() already accounts clamping effects on busy time,
the clamping effects on frequency selection are currently ignored.

Fix it by considering how CPU clamp values will be affected by a
task waking up and being RUNNABLE on that CPU.

Do that by refactoring schedutil_freq_util() to take an additional
task_struct* which allows EAS to evaluate the impact on clamp values of
a task being eventually queued in a CPU. Clamp values are applied to the
RT+CFS utilization only when a FREQUENCY_UTIL is required by
compute_energy().

Do note that switching from ENERGY_UTIL to FREQUENCY_UTIL in the
computation of the cpu_util signal implies that we are more likely to
estimate the highest OPP when a RT task is running in another CPU of
the same performance domain. This can have an impact on energy
estimation but:

 - it's not easy to say which approach is better, since it depends on
   the use case
 - the original approach could still be obtained by setting a smaller
   task-specific util_min whenever required

Since we are at that:

 - rename schedutil_freq_util() into schedutil_cpu_util(),
   since it's not only used for frequency selection.

the clamp values requested by RUNNABLE tasks in a CPU. For the Energy
Aware Scheduler (EAS) it is interesting to test how clamp values will

For example, EAS is interested in comparing the energy impact of
different scheduling decisions and the clamp values can play a role on
that.

Add uclamp_util_with() which allows to clamp a given utilization by
considering the possible impact on CPU clamp values of a specified task.

982d9cdc22 sched/cpufreq, sched/uclamp: Add clamps for FAIR and RT tasks
Each time a frequency update is required via schedutil, a frequency is
selected to (possibly) satisfy the utilization reported by each
scheduling class and irqs. However, when utilization clamping is in use,
the frequency selection should consider userspace utilization clamping
hints.  This will allow, for example, to:

 - boost tasks which are directly affecting the user experience
   by running them at least at a minimum "requested" frequency

 - cap low priority tasks not directly affecting the user experience
   by running them only up to a maximum "allowed" frequency

These constraints are meant to support a per-task based tuning of the
frequency selection thus supporting a fine grained definition of
performance boosting vs energy saving strategies in kernel space.

Add support to clamp the utilization of RUNNABLE FAIR and RT tasks
within the boundaries defined by their aggregated utilization clamp
constraints.

Do that by considering the max(min_util, max_util) to give boosted tasks
the performance they need even when they happen to be co-scheduled with
other capped tasks.

e496187da7 sched/uclamp: Enforce last task's UCLAMP_MAX
When a task sleeps it removes its max utilization clamp from its CPU.
However, the blocked utilization on that CPU can be higher than the max
clamp value enforced while the task was running. This allows undesired
CPU frequency increases while a CPU is idle, for example, when another
CPU on the same frequency domain triggers a frequency update, since
schedutil can now see the full not clamped blocked utilization of the
idle CPU.

Fix this by using:

  uclamp_rq_dec_id(p, rq, UCLAMP_MAX)
    uclamp_rq_max_value(rq, UCLAMP_MAX, clamp_value)

to detect when a CPU has no more RUNNABLE clamped tasks and to flag this
condition.

Don't track any minimum utilization clamps since an idle CPU never
requires a minimum frequency. The decay of the blocked utilization is
good enough to reduce the CPU frequency.

69842cba9a sched/uclamp: Add CPU's clamp buckets refcounting
Utilization clamping allows to clamp the CPU's utilization within a
[util_min, util_max] range, depending on the set of RUNNABLE tasks on
that CPU. Each task references two "clamp buckets" defining its minimum
and maximum (util_{min,max}) utilization "clamp values". A CPU's clamp
bucket is active if there is at least one RUNNABLE tasks enqueued on
that CPU and refcounting that bucket.

When a task is {en,de}queued {on,from} a rq, the set of active clamp
buckets on that CPU can change. If the set of active clamp buckets
changes for a CPU a new "aggregated" clamp value is computed for that
CPU. This is because each clamp bucket enforces a different utilization
clamp value.

Clamp values are always MAX aggregated for both util_min and util_max.
This ensures that no task can affect the performance of other
co-scheduled tasks which are more boosted (i.e. with higher util_min
clamp) or less capped (i.e. with higher util_max clamp).

A task has:
   task_struct::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket_id
to track the "bucket index" of the CPU's clamp bucket it refcounts while
enqueued, for each clamp index (clamp_id).

A runqueue has:
   rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].tasks
to track how many RUNNABLE tasks on that CPU refcount each
clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp index (clamp_id).
It also has a:
   rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].value
to track the clamp value of each clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp
index (clamp_id).

The rq::uclamp::bucket[clamp_id][] array is scanned every time it's
needed to find a new MAX aggregated clamp value for a clamp_id. This
operation is required only when it's dequeued the last task of a clamp
bucket tracking the current MAX aggregated clamp value. In this case,
the CPU is either entering IDLE or going to schedule a less boosted or
more clamped task.
The expected number of different clamp values configured at build time
is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache
line, for configurations of up to 7 buckets.

Add to struct rq the basic data structures required to refcount the
number of RUNNABLE tasks for each clamp bucket. Add also the max
aggregation required to update the rq's clamp value at each
enqueue/dequeue event.

Use a simple linear mapping of clamp values into clamp buckets.
Pre-compute and cache bucket_id to avoid integer divisions at
enqueue/dequeue time.

66567fcbae sched/fair: Don't push cfs_bandwith slack timers forward
When a cfs_rq sleeps and returns its quota, we delay for 5ms before
waking any throttled cfs_rqs to coalesce with other cfs_rqs going to
sleep, as this has to be done outside of the rq lock we hold.

The current code waits for 5ms without any sleeps, instead of waiting
for 5ms from the first sleep, which can delay the unthrottle more than
we want. Switch this around so that we can't push this forward forever.

This requires an extra flag rather than using hrtimer_active, since we
need to start a new timer if the current one is in the process of
finishing.

b10abd0a88 sched/cpufreq: Annotate cpufreq_update_util_data pointer with __rcu
Recently I added an RCU annotation check to rcu_assign_pointer(). All
pointers assigned to RCU protected data are to be annotated with __rcu
inorder to be able to use rcu_assign_pointer() similar to checks in
other RCU APIs.

This resulted in a sparse error:

  kernel//sched/cpufreq.c:41:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

Fix this by annotating cpufreq_update_util_data pointer with __rcu. This
will also help sparse catch any future RCU misuage bugs.

d0fe0b9c45 sched/fair: Simplify post_init_entity_util_avg() by calling it with a task_struct pointer argument
Since commit:

  d03266910a ("sched/fair: Fix task group initialization")

the utilization of a sched entity representing a task group is no longer
initialized to any other value than 0. So post_init_entity_util_avg() is
only used for tasks, not for sched_entities.

Make this clear by calling it with a task_struct pointer argument which
also eliminates the entity_is_task(se) if condition in the fork path and
get rid of the stale comment in remove_entity_load_avg() accordingly.

c546951d9c sched/core: Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() in move_queued_task()/task_rq_lock()
move_queued_task() synchronizes with task_rq_lock() as follows:

	move_queued_task()		task_rq_lock()

	[S] ->on_rq = MIGRATING		[L] rq = task_rq()
	WMB (__set_task_cpu())		ACQUIRE (rq->lock);
	[S] ->cpu = new_cpu		[L] ->on_rq

where "[L] rq = task_rq()" is ordered before "ACQUIRE (rq->lock)" by an
address dependency and, in turn, "ACQUIRE (rq->lock)" is ordered before
"[L] ->on_rq" by the ACQUIRE itself.

Use READ_ONCE() to load ->cpu in task_rq() (c.f., task_cpu()) to honor
this address dependency.  Also, mark the accesses to ->cpu and ->on_rq
with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to comply with the LKMM.

10a35e6812 sched/pelt: Skip updating util_est when utilization is higher than CPU's capacity
util_est is mainly meant to be a lower-bound for tasks utilization.
That's why task_util_est() returns the actual util_avg when it's higher
than the estimated utilization.

With new invaraince signal and without any special check on samples
collection, if a task is limited because of thermal capping for
example, we could end up overestimating its utilization and thus
perhaps generating an unwanted frequency spike when the capping is
relaxed... and (even worst) it will take some more activations for the
estimated utilization to converge back to the actual utilization.

Since we cannot easily know if there is idle time in a CPU when a task
completes an activation with a utilization higher then the CPU capacity,
we skip the sampling when utilization is higher than CPU's capacity.

2312729688 sched/fair: Update scale invariance of PELT
The current implementation of load tracking invariance scales the
contribution with current frequency and uarch performance (only for
utilization) of the CPU. One main result of this formula is that the
figures are capped by current capacity of CPU. Another one is that the
load_avg is not invariant because not scaled with uarch.

The util_avg of a periodic task that runs r time slots every p time slots
varies in the range :

    U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) * y^i < Utilization < U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p)

with U is the max util_avg value = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE

At a lower capacity, the range becomes:

    U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) * y^i' < Utilization <  U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p)

with C reflecting the compute capacity ratio between current capacity and
max capacity.

so C tries to compensate changes in (1-y^r') but it can't be accurate.

Instead of scaling the contribution value of PELT algo, we should scale the
running time. The PELT signal aims to track the amount of computation of
tasks and/or rq so it seems more correct to scale the running time to
reflect the effective amount of computation done since the last update.

In order to be fully invariant, we need to apply the same amount of
running time and idle time whatever the current capacity. Because running
at lower capacity implies that the task will run longer, we have to ensure
that the same amount of idle time will be applied when system becomes idle
and no idle time has been "stolen". But reaching the maximum utilization
value (SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) means that the task is seen as an
always-running task whatever the capacity of the CPU (even at max compute
capacity). In this case, we can discard this "stolen" idle times which
becomes meaningless.

In order to achieve this time scaling, a new clock_pelt is created per rq.
The increase of this clock scales with current capacity when something
is running on rq and synchronizes with clock_task when rq is idle. With
this mechanism, we ensure the same running and idle time whatever the
current capacity. This also enables to simplify the pelt algorithm by
removing all references of uarch and frequency and applying the same
contribution to utilization and loads. Furthermore, the scaling is done
only once per update of clock (update_rq_clock_task()) instead of during
each update of sched_entities and cfs/rt/dl_rq of the rq like the current
implementation. This is interesting when cgroup are involved as shown in
the results below:

On a hikey (octo Arm64 platform).
Performance cpufreq governor and only shallowest c-state to remove variance
generated by those power features so we only track the impact of pelt algo.

each test runs 16 times:

	./perf bench sched pipe
	(higher is better)
	kernel	tip/sched/core     + patch
	        ops/seconds        ops/seconds         diff
	cgroup
	root    59652(+/- 0.18%)   59876(+/- 0.24%)    +0.38%
	level1  55608(+/- 0.27%)   55923(+/- 0.24%)    +0.57%
	level2  52115(+/- 0.29%)   52564(+/- 0.22%)    +0.86%

	hackbench -l 1000
	(lower is better)
	kernel	tip/sched/core     + patch
	        duration(sec)      duration(sec)        diff
	cgroup
	root    4.453(+/- 2.37%)   4.383(+/- 2.88%)     -1.57%
	level1  4.859(+/- 8.50%)   4.830(+/- 7.07%)     -0.60%
	level2  5.063(+/- 9.83%)   4.928(+/- 9.66%)     -2.66%

Then, the responsiveness of PELT is improved when CPU is not running at max
capacity with this new algorithm. I have put below some examples of
duration to reach some typical load values according to the capacity of the
CPU with current implementation and with this patch. These values has been
computed based on the geometric series and the half period value:

  Util (%)     max capacity  half capacity(mainline)  half capacity(w/ patch)
  972 (95%)    138ms         not reachable            276ms
  486 (47.5%)  30ms          138ms                     60ms
  256 (25%)    13ms           32ms                     26ms

On my hikey (octo Arm64 platform) with schedutil governor, the time to
reach max OPP when starting from a null utilization, decreases from 223ms
with current scale invariance down to 121ms with the new algorithm.

However, when you lack all the prerequisites it doesn't make any sense

e9666d10a5 jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig
Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

2802bf3cd9 sched/fair: Add over-utilization/tipping point indicator
Energy-aware scheduling is only meant to be active while the system is
_not_ over-utilized. That is, there are spare cycles available to shift
tasks around based on their actual utilization to get a more
energy-efficient task distribution without depriving any tasks. When
above the tipping point task placement is done the traditional way based
on load_avg, spreading the tasks across as many cpus as possible based
on priority scaled load to preserve smp_nice. Below the tipping point we
want to use util_avg instead. We need to define a criteria for when we
make the switch.

The util_avg for each cpu converges towards 100% regardless of how many
additional tasks we may put on it. If we define over-utilized as:

sum_{cpus}(rq.cfs.avg.util_avg) + margin > sum_{cpus}(rq.capacity)

some individual cpus may be over-utilized running multiple tasks even
when the above condition is false. That should be okay as long as we try
to spread the tasks out to avoid per-cpu over-utilization as much as
possible and if all tasks have the _same_ priority. If the latter isn't
true, we have to consider priority to preserve smp_nice.

For example, we could have n_cpus nice=-10 util_avg=55% tasks and
n_cpus/2 nice=0 util_avg=60% tasks. Balancing based on util_avg we are
likely to end up with nice=-10 tasks sharing cpus and nice=0 tasks
getting their own as we 1.5*n_cpus tasks in total and 55%+55% is less
over-utilized than 55%+60% for those cpus that have to be shared. The
system utilization is only 85% of the system capacity, but we are
breaking smp_nice.

To be sure not to break smp_nice, we have defined over-utilization
conservatively as when any cpu in the system is fully utilized at its
highest frequency instead:

cpu_rq(any).cfs.avg.util_avg + margin > cpu_rq(any).capacity

IOW, as soon as one cpu is (nearly) 100% utilized, we switch to load_avg
to factor in priority to preserve smp_nice.

With this definition, we can skip periodic load-balance as no cpu has an
always-running task when the system is not over-utilized. All tasks will
be periodic and we can balance them at wake-up. This conservative
condition does however mean that some scenarios that could benefit from
energy-aware decisions even if one cpu is fully utilized would not get
those benefits.

For systems where some cpus might have reduced capacity on some cpus
(RT-pressure and/or big.LITTLE), we want periodic load-balance checks as
soon a just a single cpu is fully utilized as it might one of those with
reduced capacity and in that case we want to migrate it.

[ peterz: Added a comment explaining why new tasks are not accounted during
          overutilization detection. ]

While at it, transform the 'overload' parameter into a flag stored in

531b5c9f5c sched/topology: Make Energy Aware Scheduling depend on schedutil
Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) is designed with the assumption that
frequencies of CPUs follow their utilization value. When using a CPUFreq
governor other than schedutil, the chances of this assumption being true
are small, if any. When schedutil is being used, EAS' predictions are at
least consistent with the frequency requests. Although those requests
have no guarantees to be honored by the hardware, they should at least
guide DVFS in the right direction and provide some hope in regards to the
EAS model being accurate.

To make sure EAS is only used in a sane configuration, create a strong
dependency on schedutil being used. Since having sugov compiled-in does
not provide that guarantee, make CPUFreq call a scheduler function on
governor changes hence letting it rebuild the scheduling domains, check
the governors of the online CPUs, and enable/disable EAS accordingly.

011b27bb5d sched/topology: Add lowest CPU asymmetry sched_domain level pointer
Add another member to the family of per-cpu sched_domain shortcut
pointers. This one, sd_asym_cpucapacity, points to the lowest level
at which the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set. While at it, rename the
sd_asym shortcut to sd_asym_packing to avoid confusions.

Generally speaking, the largest opportunity to save energy via
scheduling comes from a smarter exploitation of heterogeneous platforms
(i.e. big.LITTLE). Consequently, the sd_asym_cpucapacity shortcut will
be used at first as the lowest domain where Energy-Aware Scheduling
(EAS) should be applied. For example, it is possible to apply EAS within
a socket on a multi-socket system, as long as each socket has an
asymmetric topology. Energy-aware cross-sockets wake-up balancing will
only happen when the system is over-utilized, or this_cpu and prev_cpu
are in different sockets.

6aa140fa45 sched/topology: Reference the Energy Model of CPUs when available
The existing scheduling domain hierarchy is defined to map to the cache
topology of the system. However, Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) requires
more knowledge about the platform, and specifically needs to know about
the span of Performance Domains (PD), which do not always align with
caches.

To address this issue, use the Energy Model (EM) of the system to extend
the scheduler topology code with a representation of the PDs, alongside
the scheduling domains. More specifically, a linked list of PDs is
attached to each root domain. When multiple root domains are in use,
each list contains only the PDs covering the CPUs of its root domain. If
a PD spans over CPUs of multiple different root domains, it will be
duplicated in all lists.

The lists are fully maintained by the scheduler from
partition_sched_domains() in order to cope with hotplug and cpuset
changes. As for scheduling domains, the list are protected by RCU to
ensure safe concurrent updates.

938e5e4b0d sched/cpufreq: Prepare schedutil for Energy Aware Scheduling
Schedutil requests frequency by aggregating utilization signals from
the scheduler (CFS, RT, DL, IRQ) and applying a 25% margin on top of
them. Since Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to be able to predict
the frequency requests, it needs to forecast the decisions made by the
governor.

In order to prepare the introduction of EAS, introduce
schedutil_freq_util() to centralize the aforementioned signal
aggregation and make it available to both schedutil and EAS. Since
frequency selection and energy estimation still need to deal with RT and
DL signals slightly differently, schedutil_freq_util() is called with a
different 'type' parameter in those two contexts, and returns an
aggregated utilization signal accordingly. While at it, introduce the
map_util_freq() function which is designed to make schedutil's 25%
margin usable easily for both sugov and EAS.

As EAS will be able to predict schedutil's frequency requests more
accurately than any other governor by design, it'd be sensible to make
sure EAS cannot be used without schedutil. This will be done later, once
EAS has actually been introduced.

5bd0988be1 sched/topology: Relocate arch_scale_cpu_capacity() to the internal header
By default, arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is only visible from within the
kernel/sched folder. Relocate it to include/linux/sched/topology.h to
make it visible to other clients needing to know about the capacity of
CPUs, such as the Energy Model framework.

This also shrinks the <linux/sched/topology.h> public header.

765d0af19f sched/topology: Remove the ::smt_gain field from 'struct sched_domain'
::smt_gain is used to compute the capacity of CPUs of a SMT core with the
constraint 1 < ::smt_gain < 2 in order to be able to compute number of CPUs
per core. The field has_free_capacity of struct numa_stat, which was the
last user of this computation of number of CPUs per core, has been removed
by:

  2d4056fafa ("sched/numa: Remove numa_has_capacity()")

We can now remove this constraint on core capacity and use the defautl value
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE for SMT CPUs. With this remove, SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
becomes the maximum compute capacity of CPUs on every systems. This should
help to simplify some code and remove fields like rd->max_cpu_capacity

Furthermore, arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is used with a NULL sd in several other
places in the code when it wants the capacity of a CPUs to scale
some metrics like in pelt, deadline or schedutil. In case on SMT, the value
returned is not the capacity of SMT CPUs but default SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE.

So remove it.

eb414681d5 psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
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).

977e4be5eb x86/stackprotector: Remove the call to boot_init_stack_canary() from cpu_startup_entry()
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>.

baa9be4ffb sched/fair: Fix throttle_list starvation with low CFS quota
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:

  crash> list cfs_rq.throttled_list -H 0xffff90b54f6ade40 -s cfs_rq.runtime_remaining | paste - - | awk '{print $1"  "$4}' | pr -t -n3

11d4afd4ff sched/pelt: Fix warning and clean up IRQ PELT config
Create a config for enabling irq load tracking in the scheduler.
irq load tracking is useful only when irq or paravirtual time is
accounted but it's only possible with SMP for now.

Also use __maybe_unused to remove the compilation warning in
update_rq_clock_task() that has been introduced by:

a4739eca44 sched/numa: Stop multiple tasks from moving to the CPU at the same time
Task migration under NUMA balancing can happen in parallel. More than
one task might choose to migrate to the same CPU at the same time. This
can result in:

- During task swap, choosing a task that was not part of the evaluation.
- During task swap, task which just got moved into its preferred node,
  moving to a completely different node.
- During task swap, task failing to move to the preferred node, will have
  to wait an extra interval for the next migrate opportunity.
- During task movement, multiple task movements can cause load imbalance.

This problem is more likely if there are more cores per node or more
nodes in the system.

Use a per run-queue variable to check if NUMA-balance is active on the
run-queue.

There is a regression on power 9 box. If we look at the details,
that box has a sudden jump in cache-misses with this patch.
All other parameters seem to be pointing towards NUMA
consolidation.

757ffdd705 sched/fair: Set rq->rd->overload when misfit
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.

e3d6d0cb66 sched/fair: Add sched_group per-CPU max capacity
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).

3b1baa6496 sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type
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.

0ad4e3dfe6 sched/numa: Modify migrate_swap() to accept additional parameters
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.

2e62c4743a sched/fair: Remove #ifdefs from scale_rt_capacity()
Reuse cpu_util_irq() that has been defined for schedutil and set irq util
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
similar formula.

9033ea1188 cpufreq/schedutil: Take time spent in interrupts into account
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

 Tx 276 Mbits/sec	304 Mbits/sec +10%
 Rx 299 Mbits/sec	328 Mbits/sec  +9%

91c27493e7 sched/irq: Add IRQ utilization tracking
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.

3727e0e163 sched/dl: Add dl_rq utilization tracking
Similarly to what happens with RT tasks, CFS tasks can be preempted by DL
tasks and the CFS's utilization might no longer describes the real
utilization level.

Current DL bandwidth reflects the requirements to meet deadline when tasks are
enqueued but not the current utilization of the DL sched class. We track
DL class utilization to estimate the system utilization.

371bf42732 sched/rt: Add rt_rq utilization tracking
schedutil governor relies on cfs_rq's util_avg to choose the OPP when CFS
tasks are running. When the CPU is overloaded by CFS and RT tasks, CFS tasks
are preempted by RT tasks and in this case util_avg reflects the remaining
capacity but not what CFS want to use. In such case, schedutil can select a
lower OPP whereas the CPU is overloaded. In order to have a more accurate
view of the utilization of the CPU, we track the utilization of RT tasks.
Only util_avg is correctly tracked but not load_avg and runnable_load_avg
which are useless for rt_rq.

rt_rq uses rq_clock_task and cfs_rq uses cfs_rq_clock_task but they are
the same at the root group level, so the PELT windows of the util_sum are
aligned.

As we want to use the same load tracking mecanism for both and prevent

512ac999d2 sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition
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).

296b2ffe7f sched/rt: Fix call to cpufreq_update_util()
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.

1378447598 sched/numa: Stagger NUMA balancing scan periods for new threads
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
				 vanilla           stagger-v1r1
	Time bt.D      442.77 (   0.00%)      419.70 (   5.21%)
	Time cg.D      171.90 (   0.00%)      180.85 (  -5.21%)
	Time ep.D       33.10 (   0.00%)       32.90 (   0.60%)
	Time is.D        9.59 (   0.00%)        9.42 (   1.77%)
	Time lu.D      306.75 (   0.00%)      304.65 (   0.68%)
	Time mg.D       54.56 (   0.00%)       52.38 (   4.00%)
	Time sp.D     1020.03 (   0.00%)      903.77 (  11.40%)
	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-cg.D         25.31 (   0.00%)       26.63 (  -5.22%)

	sys-time-is.D         40.05 (   0.00%)       24.45 (  38.95%)
	sys-time-lu.D         37.55 (   0.00%)       29.02 (  22.72%)
	sys-time-mg.D         47.52 (   0.00%)       34.92 (  26.52%)
	sys-time-sp.D        119.01 (   0.00%)      109.05 (   8.37%)
	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 page range updates      279832690   186129660
	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.

a07630b8b2 sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP selection
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.

00357f5ec5 sched/nohz: Clean up nohz enter/exit
The primary observation is that nohz enter/exit is always from the
current CPU, therefore NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED does not in fact need to be
an atomic.

Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the
nohz enter code, set_cpu_sd_state_idle() and
nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into
nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle.

Removes an atomic op from both enter and exit paths.

 - actually load-balance

Since the latter requires the former, ensure this happens. For now
always tag both bits at the same time.

Prepares for a future where we can toggle only the STATS bit.

325ea10c08 sched/headers: Simplify and clean up header usage in the scheduler
Do the following cleanups and simplifications:

 - sched/sched.h already includes <asm/paravirt.h>, so no need to
   include it in sched/core.c again.

 - order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically

 - add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h

 - remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
   are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.

Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:

  #include "sched.h"

... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.

This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

97fb7a0a89 sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:

 - fix speling in comments,

 - use curly braces for multi-line statements,

 - remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,

 - capitalize consistently,

 - remove stray newlines,

 - add comments where necessary,

 - remove invalid/unnecessary comments,

 - align structure definitions and other data types vertically,

 - add missing newlines for increased readability,

 - fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,

 - harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
   and vertical alignment,

 - remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,

 - add newline after local variable definitions,

No change in functionality:

d84b31313e sched/isolation: Offload residual 1Hz scheduler tick
When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.

The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now
outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a
housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick()
implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely
as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter
and don't seem to be accessed locally.

Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to
affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation
"isolcpus=nohz,domain".

364f566537 sched/rt: Up the root domain ref count when passing it around via IPIs
When issuing an IPI RT push, where an IPI is sent to each CPU that has more
than one RT task scheduled on it, it references the root domain's rto_mask,
that contains all the CPUs within the root domain that has more than one RT
task in the runable state. The problem is, after the IPIs are initiated, the
rq->lock is released. This means that the root domain that is associated to
the run queue could be freed while the IPIs are going around.

Add a sched_get_rd() and a sched_put_rd() that will increment and decrement
the root domain's ref count respectively. This way when initiating the IPIs,
the scheduler will up the root domain's ref count before releasing the
rq->lock, ensuring that the root domain does not go away until the IPI round
is complete.

Apply frequency and CPU scale-invariance correction factor to bandwidth
enforcement (similar to what we already do to fair utilization tracking).

Each delta_exec gets scaled considering current frequency and maximum
CPU capacity; which means that the reservation runtime parameter (that
need to be specified profiling the task execution at max frequency on
biggest capacity core) gets thus scaled accordingly.

7e1a9208f6 sched/cpufreq: Move arch_scale_{freq,cpu}_capacity() outside of #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
Currently, frequency and cpu capacity scaling is only performed on
CONFIG_SMP systems (as CFS PELT signals are only present for such
systems). However, other scheduling classes want to do freq/cpu scaling,
and for !CONFIG_SMP configurations as well.

arch_scale_freq_capacity() is useful to implement frequency scaling even
on !CONFIG_SMP platforms, so we simply move it outside CONFIG_SMP
ifdeffery.

Even if arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is not useful on !CONFIG_SMP platforms,
we make a default implementation available for such configurations anyway
to simplify scheduler code doing CPU scale invariance.
