pull_task(), the original function to move the task from src_rq to the
dst_rq during load balancing was renamed to move_tasks() in commit
ddcdf6e7d9 ("sched: Rename load-balancing fields")
As a part of commit 163122b7fc ("sched/fair: Remove
double_lock_balance() from load_balance()"), move_task() was broken down
into detach_tasks() and attach_tasks() pair to avoid holding locks of
both src_rq and dst_rq at the same time during load balancing.
Despite the evolution of pull_task() over the years, the sched-stats
documentation remained unchanged. Update the documentation to refer to
detach_task() instead of pull_task() which is responsible for removing
the task from the src_rq during load balancing.
commit 1c055a0f5d ("sched: Move sched domain name out of
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG") moves sched domain name out of CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.
Update the documentation related to that.

It is not always obvious how a task's time slice can be refilled, either
explicitly from ops.dispatch() or automatically by the sched_ext core,
to skip subsequent ops.enqueue() and ops.dispatch() calls. This
typically happens when the task is the only one running on a CPU.
To make this behavior easier to understand, update the task lifecycle
diagram to explicitly document how time slice handling works in such
cases.

By default fair_server dl_server allocates 5% of the bandwidth to the root
domain. Due to this writing any value less than 5% fails due to -EBUSY:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
1000000
$ echo 49999 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
$ echo 50000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
$
Since the sched_rt_runtime_us allows -1 as the minimum, put this
restriction in the documentation.
One should check average of runtime/period in
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpuX/* for exact value.

Pulling sched_ext/for-6.14 into master causes a merge conflict between the

resolved by taking the code from the first and then replacing the

In sched_ext API, a repeatedly reported pain point is the overuse of the
verb "dispatch" and confusion around "consume":
- ops.dispatch()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]()
- scx_bpf_consume()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*()
This overloading of the term is historical. Originally, there were only
built-in DSQs and moving a task into a DSQ always dispatched it for
execution. Using the verb "dispatch" for the kfuncs to move tasks into these
DSQs made sense.
Later, user DSQs were added and scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() updated to be
able to insert tasks into any DSQ. The only allowed DSQ to DSQ transfer was
from a non-local DSQ to a local DSQ and this operation was named "consume".
This was already confusing as a task could be dispatched to a user DSQ from
ops.enqueue() and then the DSQ would have to be consumed in ops.dispatch().
Later addition of scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq*() made the confusion even worse
as "dispatch" in this context meant moving a task to an arbitrary DSQ from a
user DSQ.
Clean up the API with the following renames:
1. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() -> scx_bpf_dsq_insert[_vtime]()
2. scx_bpf_consume() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local()
3. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move[_vtime]*()
This patch performs the second rename. Compatibility is maintained by:
- The previous kfunc names are still provided by the kernel so that old
binaries can run. Kernel generates a warning when the old names are used.
- compat.bpf.h provides wrappers for the new names which automatically fall
back to the old names when running on older kernels. They also trigger
build error if old names are used for new builds.
The compat features will be dropped after v6.15.

As discussed during the distro-centric session within the sched_ext
Microconference at LPC 2024, introduce a sequence counter that is
incremented every time a BPF scheduler is loaded.
This feature can help distributions in diagnosing potential performance
regressions by identifying systems where users are running (or have ran)
custom BPF schedulers.
Example:
arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
0
arighi@virtme-ng~> sudo scx_simple
local=1 global=0
^CEXIT: unregistered from user space
arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
1
In this way user-space tools (such as Ubuntu's apport and similar) are
able to gather and include this information in bug reports.

This is the initial pull request of sched_ext. The v7 patchset
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240618212056.2833381-1-tj@kernel.org) is
applied on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master as of Jun 18th.
tip/sched/core 793a62823d1c ("sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preempti
ble")
bpf/master f6afdaf72a ("Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'")
Since then, the following pulls were made:
- v6.11-rc1 is pulled to keep up with the mainline.
- tip/sched/core was pulled several times:
- 7b9f6c864a, 0df340ceae, 5ac998574f, 0b1777f0fa: To resolve
conflicts. See each commit for details on conflicts and their
resolutions.
- d7b01aef9d: To receive fd03c5b858 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task()")
and related commits. @prev in added to sched_class->put_prev_task() and
put_prev_task() is reordered after ->pick_task(), which makes
sched_class->switch_class() unnecessary. The follow-up commits update
sched_ext accordingly and drop sched_class->switch_class().
- bpf/master was pulled to receive baebe9aaba ("bpf: allow passing struct
bpf_iter_<type> as kfunc arguments") and related changes in preparation
for the DSQ iterator patchset
To obtain the net sched_ext changes, diff against:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git for-6.12-base
which is the merge of:
tip/sched/core bc9057da1a ("sched/cpufreq: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC for deadline task")
bpf/master 2ad6d23f46 ("selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily")
Since the v7 patchset, the following changes were made:
- cpuperf support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately
and then applied after reviews.
- cgroup support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted seprately,
iterated and then applied.
- Improve integration with sched core.
- Double locking usage in migration paths dropped. Depend on
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING synchronization instead.
- The BPF scheduler couldn't directly dispatch to the local DSQ of another
CPU using a SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON verdict. This caused difficulties around
handling non-wakeup enqueues. Updated so that SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON can be used
in the enqueue path too.
- DSQ iterator which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately.
The iterator itself was applied after a couple revisions. The associated
selective consumption kfunc can use further improvements and is still
being worked on.
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq() added to increase flexibility. A task
can now be transferred between two DSQs from almost any context. This
involved significant refactoring of migration code.
- Various fixes and improvements.
As the branch is based on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master, please merge
after both are applied.

Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
"This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
programs.
The goals of this are:
- Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
of new scheduling policies.
- Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
schedulers.
- Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
policies in production environments"

5d871a6399 ("sched/fair: Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c")
A simple context conflict. The former added __update_blocked_others() in
the same #ifdef CONFIG_SMP block that effective_cpu_util() and
sched_cpu_util() are in and the latter moved those functions to fair.c.
This makes __update_blocked_others() more out of place. Will follow up

84d265281d ("sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure")
The former factored out the body of __update_blocked_others() into
update_other_load_avgs(). The latter changed how update_hw_load_avg() is
called in the body. Resolved by applying the change to
update_other_load_avgs() instead.

clarify that any value which is less than the tick slice has no effect

sched/doc: Update documentation for base_slice_ns and CONFIG_HZ relation
Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.
Also load_balance() has become somewhat of a misnomer: historically
it was the first and primary load-balancing function that was called,
but with the introduction of sched domains, it's become a lower
layer function that balances runqueues.
Rename it to sched_balance_rq() accordingly.

- Standardize on prefixing scheduler-internal functions defined
in <linux/sched.h> with sched_*() prefix. scheduler_tick() was
the only function using the scheduler_ prefix. Harmonize it.
- The other reason to rename it is the NOHZ scheduler tick
handling functions are already named sched_tick_*().
Make the 'git grep sched_tick' more meaningful.

run_rebalance_domains() is a misnomer, as it doesn't only
run rebalance_domains(), but since the introduction of the
NOHZ code it also runs nohz_idle_balance().
Rename it to sched_balance_softirq(), reflecting its more
generic purpose and that it's a softirq handler.

The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will
be maintained as an LTS kernel.
The architecture specific system call tables are updated for
the added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references
to the long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.
