The kernel test robot measured a -1.6% performance regression on
will-it-scale/sched_yield due to commit:
2558aacff8 ("sched/hotplug: Ensure only per-cpu kthreads run during hotplug")
Even though we were careful to replace a single load with another
single load from the same cacheline.
Restore finish_lock_switch() to the exact state before the offending
patch and solve the problem differently.

The clearing of SMT siblings from the SIS mask before checking for an idle
core is a small but unnecessary cost. Defer the clearing of the siblings
until the scan moves to the next potential target. The cost of this was
not measured as it is borderline noise but it should be self-evident.

At fork time currently, a local node can be allowed to fill completely
and allow the periodic load balancer to fix the problem. This can be
problematic in cases where a task creates lots of threads that idle until
woken as part of a worker poll causing a memory bandwidth problem.
However, a "real" workload suffers badly from this behaviour. The workload
in question is mostly NUMA aware but spawns large numbers of threads
that act as a worker pool that can be called from anywhere. These need
to spread early to get reasonable behaviour.
This patch limits how much a local node can fill before spilling over
to another node and it will not be a universal win. Specifically,
very short-lived workloads that fit within a NUMA node would prefer
the memory bandwidth.
As I cannot describe the "real" workload, the best proxy measure I found
for illustration was a page fault microbenchmark. It's not representative
of the workload but demonstrates the hazard of the current behaviour.

This is showing the time to fault regions belonging to threads. The target
machine has 80 logical CPUs and two nodes. Note the ~30% gain when the
machine is approximately the point where one node becomes fully utilised.
The slower results are borderline noise.
Kernel building shows similar benefits around the same balance point.
Generally performance was either neutral or better in the tests conducted.
The main consideration with this patch is the point where fork stops
spreading a task so some workloads may benefit from different balance
points but it would be a risky tuning parameter.

Currently, an imbalance is only allowed when a destination node
is almost completely idle. This solved one basic class of problems
and was the cautious approach.
This patch revisits the possibility that NUMA nodes can be imbalanced
until 25% of the CPUs are occupied. The reasoning behind 25% is somewhat
superficial -- it's half the cores when HT is enabled. At higher
utilisations, balancing should continue as normal and keep things even
until scheduler domains are fully busy or over utilised.
Note that this is not expected to be a universal win. Any benchmark
that prefers spreading as wide as possible with limited communication
will favour the old behaviour as there is more memory bandwidth.
Workloads that communicate heavily in pairs such as netperf or tbench
benefit. For the tests I ran, the vast majority of workloads saw
a benefit so it seems to be a worthwhile trade-off.

In find_idlest_group(), the load imbalance is only relevant when the group

This patch moves the imbalance calculation to the context it is required.

Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no
real compelling reason to make it only available for RT.
There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in
order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce
it implicitly.
Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible
variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.

In order to make accurate predictions across CPUs and for all performance
states, Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs frequency-invariant load
tracking signals.
EAS task placement aims to minimize energy consumption, and does so in
part by limiting the search space to only CPUs with the highest spare
capacity (CPU capacity - CPU utilization) in their performance domain.
Those candidates are the placement choices that will keep frequency at
its lowest possible and therefore save the most energy.
But without frequency invariance, a CPU's utilization is relative to the
CPU's current performance level, and not relative to its maximum
performance level, which determines its capacity. As a result, it will
fail to correctly indicate any potential spare capacity obtained by an
increase in a CPU's performance level. Therefore, a non-invariant
utilization signal would render the EAS task placement logic invalid.
Now that we properly report support for the Frequency Invariance Engine
(FIE) through arch_scale_freq_invariant() for arm and arm64 systems,
while also ensuring a re-evaluation of the EAS use conditions for
possible invariance status change, we can assert this is the case when
initializing EAS. Warn and bail out otherwise.

In case the user wants to stop controlling a uclamp constraint value
for a task, use the magic value -1 in sched_util_{min,max} with the
appropriate sched_flags (SCHED_FLAG_UTIL_CLAMP_{MIN,MAX}) to indicate
the reset.
The advantage over the 'additional flag' approach (i.e. introducing
SCHED_FLAG_UTIL_CLAMP_RESET) is that no additional flag has to be
exported via uapi. This avoids the need to document how this new flag
has be used in conjunction with the existing uclamp related flags.
The following subtle issue is fixed as well. When a uclamp constraint
value is set on a !user_defined uclamp_se it is currently first reset
and then set.
Fix this by AND'ing !user_defined with !SCHED_FLAG_UTIL_CLAMP which
stands for the 'sched class change' case.
The related condition 'if (uc_se->user_defined)' moved from
__setscheduler_uclamp() into uclamp_reset().

NUMA topologies where the shortest path between some two nodes requires
three or more hops (i.e. diameter > 2) end up being misrepresented in the
scheduler topology structures.
This is currently detected when booting a kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y
+ sched_debug on the cmdline, although this will only yield a warning about
sched_group spans not matching sched_domain spans:
ERROR: groups don't span domain->span
Add an explicit warning for that case, triggered regardless of
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, and decorate it with an appropriate comment.
The topology described in the comment can be booted up on QEMU by appending
the following to your usual QEMU incantation:
-smp cores=4 \
-numa node,cpus=0,nodeid=0 -numa node,cpus=1,nodeid=1, \
-numa node,cpus=2,nodeid=2, -numa node,cpus=3,nodeid=3, \

A somewhat more realistic topology (6-node mesh) with the same affliction
can be conjured with:

Qian reported that some fuzzer issuing sched_setaffinity() ends up stuck on
a wait_for_completion(). The problematic pattern seems to be:
affine_move_task()
// task_running() case
stop_one_cpu();
wait_for_completion(&pending->done);
Combined with, on the stopper side:
migration_cpu_stop()
// Task moved between unlocks and scheduling the stopper
task_rq(p) != rq &&
// task_running() case
dest_cpu >= 0
=> no complete_all()
This can happen with both PREEMPT and !PREEMPT, although !PREEMPT should
be more likely to see this given the targeted task has a much bigger window
to block and be woken up elsewhere before the stopper runs.
Make migration_cpu_stop() always look at pending affinity requests; signal
their completion if the stopper hits a rq mismatch but the task is
still within its allowed mask. When Migrate-Disable isn't involved, this
matches the previous set_cpus_allowed_ptr() vs migration_cpu_stop()
behaviour.

Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).
Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().
Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

The CFS wakeup code will only ever go through EAS / its fast path on
"regular" wakeups (i.e. not on forks or execs). These are currently gated
by a check against 'sd_flag', which would be SD_BALANCE_WAKE at wakeup.
However, we now have a flag that explicitly tells us whether a wakeup is a
"regular" one, so hinge those conditions on that flag instead.

Only select_task_rq_fair() uses that parameter to do an actual domain
search, other classes only care about what kind of wakeup is happening
(fork, exec, or "regular") and thus just translate the flag into a wakeup
type.
WF_TTWU and WF_EXEC have just been added, use these along with WF_FORK to
encode the wakeup types we care about. For select_task_rq_fair(), we can
simply use the shiny new WF_flag : SD_flag mapping.

To remove the sd_flag parameter of select_task_rq(), we need another way of
encoding wakeup types. There already is a WF_FORK flag, add the missing two.
With that said, we still need an easy way to turn WF_foo into

make our lives easier and make them match exactly, and throw in some

In order to minimize the interference of migrate_disable() on lower
priority tasks, which can be deprived of runtime due to being stuck
below a higher priority task. Teach the RT/DL balancers to push away
these higher priority tasks when a lower priority task gets selected
to run on a freshly demoted CPU (pull).
This adds migration interference to the higher priority task, but
restores bandwidth to system that would otherwise be irrevocably lost.
Without this it would be possible to have all tasks on the system
stuck on a single CPU, each task preempted in a migrate_disable()
section with a single high priority task running.
This way we can still approximate running the M highest priority tasks
on the system.
Migrating the top task away is (ofcourse) still subject to
migrate_disable() too, which means the lower task is subject to an
interference equivalent to the worst case migrate_disable() section.

Concurrent migrate_disable() and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() has
interesting features. We rely on set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to not return
until the task runs inside the provided mask. This expectation is
exported to userspace.
This means that any set_cpus_allowed_ptr() caller must wait until
migrate_enable() allows migrations.
At the same time, we don't want migrate_enable() to schedule, due to
patterns like:
preempt_disable();
migrate_disable();
...
migrate_enable();
preempt_enable();
And:
raw_spin_lock(&B);
spin_unlock(&A);
this means that when migrate_enable() must restore the affinity
mask, it cannot wait for completion thereof. Luck will have it that
that is exactly the case where there is a pending
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), so let that provide storage for the async stop
machine.
Much thanks to Valentin who used TLA+ most effective and found lots of

Since we now migrate tasks away before DYING, we should also move
bandwidth unthrottle, otherwise we can gain tasks from unthrottle
after we expect all tasks to be gone already.
Also; it looks like the RT balancers don't respect cpu_active() and
instead rely on rq->online in part, complete this. This too requires
we do set_rq_offline() earlier to match the cpu_active() semantics.
(The bigger patch is to convert RT to cpu_active() entirely)
Since set_rq_online() is called from sched_cpu_activate(), place
set_rq_offline() in sched_cpu_deactivate().

With the new mechanism which kicks tasks off the outgoing CPU at the end of
schedule() the situation on an outgoing CPU right before the stopper thread
brings it down completely is:
- All user tasks and all unbound kernel threads have either been migrated
away or are not running and the next wakeup will move them to a online CPU.
- All per CPU kernel threads, except cpu hotplug thread and the stopper
thread have either been unbound or parked by the responsible CPU hotplug
callback.
That means that at the last step before the stopper thread is invoked the
cpu hotplug thread is the last legitimate running task on the outgoing
CPU.
Add a final wait step right before the stopper thread is kicked which
ensures that any still running tasks on the way to park or on the way to
kick themself of the CPU are either sleeping or gone.
This allows to remove the migrate_tasks() crutch in sched_cpu_dying(). If
sched_cpu_dying() detects that there is still another running task aside of
the stopper thread then it will explode with the appropriate fireworks.

RT kernels need to ensure that all tasks which are not per CPU kthreads

There is also some desire to (ab)use fine grained CPU hotplug control to

Add a mechanism which waits until all tasks which should leave the CPU
after the CPU active flag is cleared have moved to a different online CPU.

In preparation for migrate_disable(), make sure only per-cpu kthreads
are allowed to run on !active CPUs.
This is ran (as one of the very first steps) from the cpu-hotplug
task which is a per-cpu kthread and completion of the hotplug
operation only requires such tasks.
This constraint enables the migrate_disable() implementation to wait
for completion of all migrate_disable regions on this CPU at hotplug
time without fear of any new ones starting.
This replaces the unlikely(rq->balance_callbacks) test at the tail of
context_switch with an unlikely(rq->balance_work), the fast path is
not affected.

The intent of balance_callback() has always been to delay executing
balancing operations until the end of the current rq->lock section.
This is because balance operations must often drop rq->lock, and that
isn't safe in general.
However, as noted by Scott, there were a few holes in that scheme;
balance_callback() was called after rq->lock was dropped, which means
another CPU can interleave and touch the callback list.
Rework code to call the balance callbacks before dropping rq->lock
where possible, and otherwise splice the balance list onto a local
stack.
This guarantees that the balance list must be empty when we take
rq->lock. IOW, we'll only ever run our own balance callbacks.

During fast wakeup path, scheduler always check whether local or prev
cpus are good candidates for the task before looking for other cpus in
the domain. With commit b7a331615d ("sched/fair: Add asymmetric CPU
capacity wakeup scan") the heterogenous system gains a dedicated path
but doesn't try to reuse prev cpu whenever possible. If the previous
cpu is idle and belong to the LLC domain, we should check it 1st
before looking for another cpu because it stays one of the best
candidate and this also stabilizes task placement on the system.
This change aligns asymmetric path behavior with symmetric one and reduces
cases where the task migrates across all cpus of the sd_asym_cpucapacity
domains at wakeup.
This change does not impact normal EAS mode but only the overloaded case or
when EAS is not used.

compared to current implementation (only tested on arm64)
Also read the uclamped value of task's utilization at most twice instead
instead each time we compare task's utilization with cpu's capacity.

The cpufreq policy's frequency limits (min/max) can get changed at any
point of time, while schedutil is trying to update the next frequency.
Though the schedutil governor has necessary locking and support in place
to make sure we don't miss any of those updates, there is a corner case
where the governor will find that the CPU is already running at the
desired frequency and so may skip an update.
For example, consider that the CPU can run at 1 GHz, 1.2 GHz and 1.4 GHz
and is running at 1 GHz currently. Schedutil tries to update the
frequency to 1.2 GHz, during this time the policy limits get changed as
policy->min = 1.4 GHz. As schedutil (and cpufreq core) does clamp the
frequency at various instances, we will eventually set the frequency to
1.4 GHz, while we will save 1.2 GHz in sg_policy->next_freq.
Now lets say the policy limits get changed back at this time with
policy->min as 1 GHz. The next time schedutil is invoked by the
scheduler, we will reevaluate the next frequency (because
need_freq_update will get set due to limits change event) and lets say
we want to set the frequency to 1.2 GHz again. At this point
sugov_update_next_freq() will find the next_freq == current_freq and
will abort the update, while the CPU actually runs at 1.4 GHz.
Until now need_freq_update was used as a flag to indicate that the
policy's frequency limits have changed, and that we should consider the
new limits while reevaluating the next frequency.
This patch fixes the above mentioned issue by extending the purpose of
the need_freq_update flag. If this flag is set now, the schedutil
governor will not try to abort a frequency change even if next_freq ==
current_freq.
As similar behavior is required in the case of
CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag as well, need_freq_update will never be
set to false if that flag is set for the driver.
We also don't need to consider the need_freq_update flag in
sugov_update_single() anymore to handle the special case of busy CPU, as
we won't abort a frequency update anymore.
