For counting how long an application has been waiting for
(disk) IO, there currently is only the HZ sample driven
information available, while for all other counters in this
class, a high resolution version is available via
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS.
In order to make an improved bootchart tool possible, we also
need a higher resolution version of the iowait time.
This patch below adds this scheduler statistic to the kernel.

When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu
representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the
total weight of the sched domain.
Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the
weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and
calculating the ratio.
The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios,
this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the
individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent
set.

Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of
the online_map.
The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code
(such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active"
anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active
map, we allow several optimizations.
For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the
scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now
a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which
returns a stack variable for whether we should later run
post-schedule. This leads to an awkward exchange of the
variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter
Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the
run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack.
Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch
return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable
when we require further processing.
In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access
current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock. This is
technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from
under us. Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule
variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption
disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock.
Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef
CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement
some inline helper functions instead.
This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.

Commit ec4e0e2fe0 ("fix
inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares")
broke cgroup smp fairness.
In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never
quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but
instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present.
If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that
means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated
every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness.
Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually
setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated
number.

might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the
need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are

It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not
depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to
detect a problem.
Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the
FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning
displays the real origin and not sched.h
Changes in v2:
- Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which
may call cond_resched()
- Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line
couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and

The schedule() function is a loop that reschedules the current
task while the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set:
void schedule(void)
{
need_resched:
/* schedule code */
if (need_resched())
goto need_resched;
}
And cond_resched() repeat this loop:
do {
add_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE);
schedule();
sub_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE);
} while(need_resched());
This loop is needless because schedule() already did the check
and nothing can set TIF_NEED_RESCHED between schedule() exit
and the loop check in need_resched().
Then remove this needless loop.

This adds the synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive that
implements the "big hammer" expedited RCU grace periods.
This primitive is placed in kernel/sched.c rather than
kernel/rcupdate.c due to its need to interact closely with the
migration_thread() kthread.
The idea is to wake up this kthread with req->task set to NULL,
in response to which the kthread reports the quiescent state
resulting from the kthread having been scheduled.
Because this patch needs to fallback to the slow versions of
the primitives in response to some races with CPU onlining and
offlining, a new synchronize_rcu_bh() primitive is added as
well.

Now that kthread_stop() can be used even if the task has already exited,
we can kill the "wait_to_die:" loop in migration_thread(). But we must
pin rq->migration_thread after creation.
Actually, I don't think CPU_UP_CANCELED or CPU_DEAD should wait for
->migration_thread exit. Perhaps we can simplify this code a bit more.
migration_call() can set ->should_stop and forget about this thread. But
we need a new helper in kthred.c for that.

Fix up conflicts in kernel/sched.c and kernel/timer.c manually
This patch introduces a new flag SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK which can be passed
to the kernel via sched_setscheduler(), ORed in the policy parameter. If
set this will make sure that when the process forks a) the scheduling
priority is reset to DEFAULT_PRIO if it was higher and b) the scheduling
policy is reset to SCHED_NORMAL if it was either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.
Why have this?
Currently, if a process is real-time scheduled this will 'leak' to all
its child processes. For security reasons it is often (always?) a good
idea to make sure that if a process acquires RT scheduling this is
confined to this process and only this process. More specifically this
makes the per-process resource limit RLIMIT_RTTIME useful for security
purposes, because it makes it impossible to use a fork bomb to
circumvent the per-process RLIMIT_RTTIME accounting.
This feature is also useful for tools like 'renice' which can then
change the nice level of a process without having this spill to all its
child processes.
Why expose this via sched_setscheduler() and not other syscalls such as
prctl() or sched_setparam()?
prctl() does not take a pid parameter. Due to that it would be
impossible to modify this flag for other processes than the current one.
The struct passed to sched_setparam() can unfortunately not be extended
without breaking compatibility, since sched_setparam() lacks a size
parameter.
How to use this from userspace? In your RT program simply replace this:
sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m);
by this:
sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO|SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK, ¶m);

This fixes the cpu migration software counter to count
correctly even when contexts get swapped from one task to
another. Previously the cpu migration counts reported by perf
stat were bogus, ranging from negative to several thousand for
a single "lat_ctx 2 8 32" run. With this patch the cpu
migration count reported for "lat_ctx 2 8 32" is almost always
between 35 and 44.
This fixes the problem by adding a call into the perf_counter
code from set_task_cpu when tasks are migrated. This enables
us to use the generic swcounter code (with some modifications)
for the cpu migration counter.
This modifies the swcounter code to allow a NULL regs pointer
to be passed in to perf_swcounter_ctx_event() etc. The cpu
migration counter does this because there isn't necessarily a
pt_regs struct for the task available. In this case, the
counter will not have interrupt capability - but the migration
counter didn't have interrupt capability before, so this is no
loss.

This arranges for perf_counter's notifier for cpu hotplug
operations to be called earlier than the migration notifier in
sched.c by increasing its priority to 20, compared to the 10
for the migration notifier. The reason for doing this is that
a subsequent commit to convert the cpu migration counter to use
the generic swcounter infrastructure will add a call into the
perf_counter subsystem when tasks get migrated. Therefore the
perf_counter subsystem needs a chance to initialize its per-cpu
data for the new cpu before it can get called from the
migration code.
This also adds a comment to the migration notifier noting that
its priority needs to be lower than that of the perf_counter
notifier.

When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited
counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where
both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set
of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together.
In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to
count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to
go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating
the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task.
This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of
scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and
scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context
to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new
context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both
tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case
is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on
this CPU or another CPU.
The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in
each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from.
To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding
or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a
generation number on each context which is incremented every time
a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy
of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are
equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same
generation number. In order that the parent context pointer
remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent
context's reference count for each context cloned from it.
Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned
context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent
different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all
counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the
number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have
the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent.
Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with
the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with
and without this patch series:
-----Unmodified----- With this patch series
Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S
2 processes:
Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60
St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19
8 processes:

32 processes:

St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81
The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of
lat_ctx. The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any
counters. The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat,
counting cycles and instructions. The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run
under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters
(cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task
clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems.
The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.
Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current
idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs
are not migrated.
While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating
a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the
hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the
hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu.
So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the
next_event on the target cpu's clock_event_device.

When a thread is oom killed and fails to exit, it's helpful to know which
threads have access to memory reserves if the machine livelocks. This is
done by testing for the TIF_MEMDIE thread info flag and should be
displayed alongside stack traces to identify tasks that have access to
such reserves but are still stuck allocating pages, for instance.
It would probably be helpful in other cases as well, so all thread info
flags are emitted when showing a task.

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.
This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

'777c6c5 wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation' made
__wake_up_common() global to be used from abort_exclusive_wait().
It was needed to do a wake-up with the waitqueue lock held while
passing down a key to the wake-up function.
Since '4ede816 epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and
__wake_up_sync_key()' there is an appropriate wrapper for this case:
__wake_up_locked_key().
Use it here and make __wake_up_common() private to the scheduler
again.

The CPU that first goes idle becomes the idle-load-balancer and remains
that until either it picks up a task or till all the CPUs of the system
goes idle.
Optimize this further to allow it to relinquish it's post
once all it's siblings in the power-aware sched_domain go idle, thereby
allowing the whole package-core to go idle. While relinquising the post,
nominate another an idle-load balancer from a semi-idle core/package.

Currently the nomination of idle-load balancer is done by choosing the first
idle cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask. This may not be power-efficient, since
such an idle cpu could come from a completely idle core/package thereby
preventing the whole core/package from being in a low-power state.
For eg, consider a quad-core dual package system. The cpu numbering need
not be sequential and can something like [0, 2, 4, 6] and [1, 3, 5, 7].
With sched_mc/smt_power_savings and the power-aware IRQ balance, we try to keep
as fewer Packages/Cores active. But the current idle load balancer logic
goes against this by choosing the first_cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask and not
taking the system topology into consideration.
Improve the algorithm to nominate the idle load balancer from a semi idle
cores/packages thereby increasing the probability of the cores/packages being
in deeper sleep states for longer duration.
The algorithm is activated only when sched_mc/smt_power_savings != 0.
