A following patch will trigger NOHZ idle balances as a means to update
nohz.next_balance. Vincent noted that blocked load updates can have
non-negligible overhead, which should be avoided if the intent is to only
update nohz.next_balance.
Add a new NOHZ balance kick flag, NOHZ_NEXT_KICK. Gate NOHZ blocked load
update by the presence of NOHZ_STATS_KICK - currently all NOHZ balance
kicks will have the NOHZ_STATS_KICK flag set, so no change in behaviour is
expected.

Since commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to
list on unthrottle") we add cfs_rqs with no runnable tasks but not fully
decayed into the load (leaf) list. We may ignore adding some ancestors
and therefore breaking tmp_alone_branch invariant. This broke LTP test
cfs_bandwidth01 and it was partially fixed in commit fdaba61ef8
("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling").
I noticed the named test still fails even with the fix (but with low
probability, 1 in ~1000 executions of the test). The reason is when
bailing out of unthrottle_cfs_rq early, we may miss adding ancestors of
the unthrottled cfs_rq, thus, not joining tmp_alone_branch properly.
Fix this by adding ancestors if we notice the unthrottled cfs_rq was
added to the load list.

This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups.
Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle.
0: default behavior
1: SCHED_IDLE
Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing
aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its
descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its
ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly.
Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight.
There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup
SCHED_IDLE interface:
- The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to
maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the
cgroup, not the tasks themselves.
- Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption
decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken
task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity.
A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a
non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs
the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs
other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing
matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be
improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the
perspective of a specific task).
For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches
may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities.
The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds
either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for
further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may
indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred
for preemption/placement/etc.

After select_idle_sibling, p->recent_used_cpu is set to the
new target. However on the next wakeup, prev will be the same as
recent_used_cpu unless the load balancer has moved the task since the
last wakeup. It still works, but is less efficient than it could be.
This patch preserves recent_used_cpu for longer.
The impact on SIS efficiency is tiny so the SIS statistic patches were
used to track the hit rate for using recent_used_cpu. With perf bench
pipe on a 2-socket Cascadelake machine, the hit rate went from 57.14%
to 85.32%. For more intensive wakeup loads like hackbench, the hit rate
is almost negligible but rose from 0.21% to 6.64%. For scaling loads
like tbench, the hit rate goes from almost 0% to 25.42% overall. Broadly
speaking, on tbench, the success rate is much higher for lower thread
counts and drops to almost 0 as the workload scales to towards saturation.

The time remaining until expiry of the refresh_timer can be negative.
Casting the type to an unsigned 64-bit value will cause integer
underflow, making the runtime_refresh_within return false instead of
true. These situations are rare, but they do happen.
This does not cause user-facing issues or errors; other than
possibly unthrottling cfs_rq's using runtime from the previous period(s),
making the CFS bandwidth enforcement less strict in those (special)
situations.

On a 128 cores AMD machine, there are 8 cores in nohz_full mode, and

for_each_cpu_and() is a micro function, so in get_nohz_timer_target()
function the
for_each_cpu_and(i, sched_domain_span(sd),
housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_TIMER))
equals to below:
for (i = -1; i = cpumask_next_and(i, sched_domain_span(sd),
housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_TIMER)), i < nr_cpu_ids;)
That will cause that housekeeping_cpumask() will be invoked many times.
The housekeeping_cpumask() function returns a const value, so it is
unnecessary to invoke it every time. This patch can minimize the worst
searching time from ~76us to ~16us in my testing.
Similarly, the find_new_ilb() function has the same problem.

The _sum and _avg values are in general sync together with the PELT
divider. They are however not always completely in perfect sync,
resulting in situations where _sum gets to zero while _avg stays
positive. Such situations are undesirable.
This comes from the fact that PELT will increase period_contrib, also
increasing the PELT divider, without updating _sum and _avg values to
stay in perfect sync where (_sum == _avg * divider). However, such PELT
change will never lower _sum, making it impossible to end up in a
situation where _sum is zero and _avg is not.
Therefore, we need to ensure that when subtracting load outside PELT,
that when _sum is zero, _avg is also set to zero. This occurs when
(_sum < _avg * divider), and the subtracted (_avg * divider) is bigger
or equal to the current _sum, while the subtracted _avg is smaller than
the current _avg.

The CFS bandwidth controller limits CPU requests of a task group to
quota during each period. However, parallel workloads might be bursty
so that they get throttled even when their average utilization is under
quota. And they are latency sensitive at the same time so that
throttling them is undesired.
We borrow time now against our future underrun, at the cost of increased
interference against the other system users. All nicely bounded.
Traditional (UP-EDF) bandwidth control is something like:
(U = \Sum u_i) <= 1
This guaranteeds both that every deadline is met and that the system is
stable. After all, if U were > 1, then for every second of walltime,
we'd have to run more than a second of program time, and obviously miss
our deadline, but the next deadline will be further out still, there is
never time to catch up, unbounded fail.
This work observes that a workload doesn't always executes the full
quota; this enables one to describe u_i as a statistical distribution.
For example, have u_i = {x,e}_i, where x is the p(95) and x+e p(100)
(the traditional WCET). This effectively allows u to be smaller,
increasing the efficiency (we can pack more tasks in the system), but at
the cost of missing deadlines when all the odds line up. However, it
does maintain stability, since every overrun must be paired with an
underrun as long as our x is above the average.
That is, suppose we have 2 tasks, both specify a p(95) value, then we

everything is good. At the same time we have a p(5)p(5) = 0.25% chance
both tasks will exceed their quota at the same time (guaranteed deadline

\Sum e_i; that is, there is a bounded tardiness (under the assumption
that x+e is indeed WCET).

Currently select_idle_cpu()'s proportional scheme uses the average idle
time *for when we are idle*, that is temporally challenged. When a CPU
is not at all idle, we'll happily continue using whatever value we did
see when the CPU goes idle. To fix this, introduce a separate average
idle and age it (the existing value still makes sense for things like
new-idle balancing, which happens when we do go idle).
The overall goal is to not spend more time scanning for idle CPUs than
we're idle for. Otherwise we're inhibiting work. This means that we need to
consider the cost over all the wake-ups between consecutive idle periods.
To track this, the scan cost is subtracted from the estimated average
idle time.
The impact of this patch is related to workloads that have domains that
are fully busy or overloaded. Without the patch, the scan depth may be
too high because a CPU is not reaching idle.
Due to the nature of the patch, this is a regression magnet. It
potentially wins when domains are almost fully busy or overloaded --
at that point searches are likely to fail but idle is not being aged
as CPUs are active so search depth is too large and useless. It will
potentially show regressions when there are idle CPUs and a deep search is
beneficial. This tbench result on a 2-socket broadwell machine partially
illustates the problem

Again, higher thread counts benefit and the standard deviation
shows that results are also a lot more stable when the idle
time is aged.
The patch potentially matters when a socket was multiple LLCs as the
maximum search depth is lower. However, some of the test results were
suspiciously good (e.g. specjbb2005 gaining 50% on a Zen1 machine) and
other results were not dramatically different to other mcahines.
Given the nature of the patch, Peter's full series is not being forward
ported as each part should stand on its own. Preferably they would be
merged at different times to reduce the risk of false bisections.

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to predict the decisions made by
SchedUtil. The map_util_freq() exists to do that.
There are corner cases where the max allowed frequency might be reduced
(due to thermal). SchedUtil as a CPUFreq governor, is aware of that
but EAS is not. This patch aims to address it.
SchedUtil stores the maximum allowed frequency in
'sugov_policy::next_freq' field. EAS has to predict that value, which is
the real used frequency. That value is made after a call to
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() which clamps to the CPUFreq policy limits.
In the existing code EAS is not able to predict that real frequency.
This leads to energy estimation errors.
To avoid wrong energy estimation in EAS (due to frequency miss prediction)
make sure that the step which calculates Performance Domain frequency,
is also aware of the allowed CPU capacity.
Furthermore, modify map_util_freq() to not extend the frequency value.
Instead, use map_util_perf() to extend the util value in both places:
SchedUtil and EAS, but for EAS clamp it to max allowed CPU capacity.
In the end, we achieve the same desirable behavior for both subsystems
and alignment in regards to the real CPU frequency.

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to be able to predict the frequency
requests made by the SchedUtil governor to properly estimate energy used
in the future. It has to take into account CPUs utilization and forecast
Performance Domain (PD) frequency. There is a corner case when the max
allowed frequency might be reduced due to thermal. SchedUtil is aware of
that reduced frequency, so it should be taken into account also in EAS
estimations.
SchedUtil, as a CPUFreq governor, knows the maximum allowed frequency of
a CPU, thanks to cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() and internal clamping
to 'policy::max'. SchedUtil is responsible to respect that upper limit
while setting the frequency through CPUFreq drivers. This effective
frequency is stored internally in 'sugov_policy::next_freq' and EAS has
to predict that value.
In the existing code the raw value of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is used
for clamping the returned CPU utilization from effective_cpu_util().
This patch fixes issue with too big single CPU utilization, by introducing
clamping to the allowed CPU capacity. The allowed CPU capacity is a CPU
capacity reduced by thermal pressure raw value.
Thanks to knowledge about allowed CPU capacity, we don't get too big value
for a single CPU utilization, which is then added to the util sum. The
util sum is used as a source of information for estimating whole PD energy.
To avoid wrong energy estimation in EAS (due to capped frequency), make
sure that the calculation of util sum is aware of allowed CPU capacity.
This thermal pressure might be visible in scenarios where the CPUs are not
heavily loaded, but some other component (like GPU) drastically reduced
available power budget and increased the SoC temperature. Thus, we still
use EAS for task placement and CPUs are not over-utilized.

Fix an issue where fairness is decreased since cfs_rq's can end up not
being decayed properly. For two sibling control groups with the same
priority, this can often lead to a load ratio of 99/1 (!!).
This happens because when a cfs_rq is throttled, all the descendant
cfs_rq's will be removed from the leaf list. When they initial cfs_rq
is unthrottled, it will currently only re add descendant cfs_rq's if
they have one or more entities enqueued. This is not a perfect
heuristic.
Instead, we insert all cfs_rq's that contain one or more enqueued
entities, or it its load is not completely decayed.
Can often lead to situations like this for equally weighted control
groups:

The util_est internal UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag which is used to prevent
unnecessary util_est updates uses the LSB of util_est.enqueued. It is
exposed via _task_util_est() (and task_util_est()).
Commit 92a801e5d5 ("sched/fair: Mask UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED usages")
mentions that the LSB is lost for util_est resolution but
find_energy_efficient_cpu() checks if task_util_est() returns 0 to
return prev_cpu early.
_task_util_est() returns the max value of util_est.ewma and
util_est.enqueued or'ed w/ UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED.
So task_util_est() returning the max of task_util() and
_task_util_est() will never return 0 under the default
SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST, true).
To fix this use the MSB of util_est.enqueued instead and keep the flag
util_est internal, i.e. don't export it via _task_util_est().
The maximal possible util_avg value for a task is 1024 so the MSB of
'unsigned int util_est.enqueued' isn't used to store a util value.
As a caveat the code behind the util_est_se trace point has to filter
UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED to see the real util_est.enqueued value which should
be easy to do.
This also fixes an issue report by Xuewen Yan that util_est_update()
only used UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED for the subtrahend of the equation:
last_enqueued_diff = ue.enqueued - (task_util() | UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED)

During force-idle, we end up doing cross-cpu comparison of vruntimes
during pick_next_task. If we simply compare (vruntime-min_vruntime)
across CPUs, and if the CPUs only have 1 task each, we will always
end up comparing 0 with 0 and pick just one of the tasks all the time.
This starves the task that was not picked. To fix this, take a snapshot
of the min_vruntime when entering force idle and use it for comparison.
This min_vruntime snapshot will only be used for cross-CPU vruntime
comparison, and nothing else.
A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling:
During selection:
When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot.
when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot.
When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot.
Which gives:
fib fi update
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
Where:
fi: force-idled now
fib: force-idled before
So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi).
Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the
core is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to
know whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy.
So pass this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less().

If there is only one long running local task and the sibling is
forced idle, it might not get a chance to run until a schedule
event happens on any cpu in the core.
So we check for this condition during a tick to see if a sibling
is starved and then give it a chance to schedule.

Introduce task_struct::core_cookie as an opaque identifier for core
scheduling. When enabled; core scheduling will only allow matching
task to be on the core; where idle matches everything.
When task_struct::core_cookie is set (and core scheduling is enabled)
these tasks are indexed in a second RB-tree, first on cookie value
then on scheduling function, such that matching task selection always
finds the most elegible match.
NOTE: *shudder* at the overhead...
NOTE: *sigh*, a 3rd copy of the scheduling function; the alternative
is per class tracking of cookies and that just duplicates a lot of
stuff for no raisin (the 2nd copy lives in the rt-mutex PI code).

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) searches the best energy CPU
to place a task on. To do so, compute_energy() estimates the energy
impact of placing the task on a CPU, based on CPU and task utilization
signals.
Utilization signals can be concurrently updated while evaluating a
performance domain (pd). In some cases, this leads to having a
'negative delta', i.e. placing the task in the pd is seen as an
energy gain. Thus, any further energy comparison is biased.
In case of a 'negative delta', return prev_cpu since:
1. a 'negative delta' happens in less than 0.5% of feec() calls,
on a Juno with 6 CPUs (4 little, 2 big)
2. it is unlikely to have two consecutive 'negative delta' for
a task, so if the first call fails, feec() will correctly
place the task in the next feec() call
3. EAS current behavior tends to select prev_cpu if the task
doesn't raise the OPP of its current pd. prev_cpu is EAS's
generic decision
4. prev_cpu should be preferred to returning an error code.
In the latter case, select_idle_sibling() would do the placement,
selecting a big (and not energy efficient) CPU. As 3., the task
would potentially reside on the big CPU for a long time

The try_to_wake_up function has an optimization where it can queue
a task for wakeup on its previous CPU, if the task is still in the
middle of going to sleep inside schedule().
Once schedule() re-enables IRQs, the task will be woken up with an
IPI, and placed back on the runqueue.
If we have such a wakeup pending, there is no need to search other
CPUs for runnable tasks. Just skip (or bail out early from) newidle
balancing, and run the just woken up task.
For a memcache like workload test, this reduces total CPU use by
about 2%, proportionally split between user and system time,
and p99 and p95 application response time by 10% on average.
The schedstats run_delay number shows a similar improvement.

This fixes an issue where old load on a cfs_rq is not properly decayed,
resulting in strange behavior where fairness can decrease drastically.
Real workloads with equally weighted control groups have ended up
getting a respective 99% and 1%(!!) of cpu time.
When an idle task is attached to a cfs_rq by attaching a pid to a cgroup,
the old load of the task is attached to the new cfs_rq and sched_entity by
attach_entity_cfs_rq. If the task is then moved to another cpu (and
therefore cfs_rq) before being enqueued/woken up, the load will be moved
to cfs_rq->removed from the sched_entity. Such a move will happen when
enforcing a cpuset on the task (eg. via a cgroup) that force it to move.
The load will however not be removed from the task_group itself, making
it look like there is a constant load on that cfs_rq. This causes the
vruntime of tasks on other sibling cfs_rq's to increase faster than they
are supposed to; causing severe fairness issues. If no other task is
started on the given cfs_rq, and due to the cpuset it would not happen,
this load would never be properly unloaded. With this patch the load
will be properly removed inside update_blocked_averages. This also
applies to tasks moved to the fair scheduling class and moved to another
cpu, and this path will also fix that. For fork, the entity is queued
right away, so this problem does not affect that.
This applies to cases where the new process is the first in the cfs_rq,
issue introduced 3d30544f02 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes"), and
when there has previously been load on the cgroup but the cgroup was
removed from the leaflist due to having null PELT load, indroduced
in 039ae8bcf7 ("sched/fair: Fix O(nr_cgroups) in the load balancing
path").
For a simple cgroup hierarchy (as seen below) with two equally weighted
groups, that in theory should get 50/50 of cpu time each, it often leads
to a load of 60/40 or 70/30.
parent/
cg-1/
cpu.weight: 100
cpuset.cpus: 1
cg-2/
cpu.weight: 100
cpuset.cpus: 1
If the hierarchy is deeper (as seen below), while keeping cg-1 and cg-2
equally weighted, they should still get a 50/50 balance of cpu time.
This however sometimes results in a balance of 10/90 or 1/99(!!) between
the task groups.
$ ps u -C stress
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 18568 1.1 0.0 3684 100 pts/12 R+ 13:36 0:00 stress --cpu 1

This can be reproduced by attaching an idle process to a cgroup and
moving it to a given cpuset before it wakes up. The issue is evident in
many (if not most) container runtimes, and has been reproduced
with both crun and runc (and therefore docker and all its "derivatives"),
and with both cgroup v1 and v2.

The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:
if ((p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) && kthread_is_per_cpu(p))
However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1 (running p)
(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) // true
begin_new_exec()
me->flags &= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
to_kthread(p)
WARN(!(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) <-- *SPLAT*
Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.
Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.
Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().

The current sched_slice() seems to have issues; there's two possible

- the 'nr_running' used for __sched_period() is daft when cgroups are

- (esp) cgroups can slice it real fine, which makes for easy

During load-balance, groups classified as group_misfit_task are filtered
out if they do not pass
group_smaller_max_cpu_capacity(<candidate group>, <local group>);
which itself employs fits_capacity() to compare the sgc->max_capacity of
both groups.
Due to the underlying margin, fits_capacity(X, 1024) will return false for
any X > 819. Tough luck, the capacity_orig's on e.g. the Pixel 4 are
{261, 871, 1024}. If a CPU-bound task ends up on one of those "medium"
CPUs, misfit migration will never intentionally upmigrate it to a CPU of
higher capacity due to the aforementioned margin.
One may argue the 20% margin of fits_capacity() is excessive in the advent
of counter-enhanced load tracking (APERF/MPERF, AMUs), but one point here
is that fits_capacity() is meant to compare a utilization value to a
capacity value, whereas here it is being used to compare two capacity
values. As CPU capacity and task utilization have different dynamics, a
sensible approach here would be to add a new helper dedicated to comparing
CPU capacities.
Also note that comparing capacity extrema of local and source sched_group's
doesn't make much sense when at the day of the day the imbalance will be
pulled by a known env->dst_cpu, whose capacity can be anywhere within the
local group's capacity extrema.
While at it, replace group_smaller_{min, max}_cpu_capacity() with
comparisons of the source group's min/max capacity and the destination
CPU's capacity.

When triggering an active load balance, sd->nr_balance_failed is set to
such a value that any further can_migrate_task() using said sd will ignore
the output of task_hot().
This behaviour makes sense, as active load balance intentionally preempts a
rq's running task to migrate it right away, but this asynchronous write is
a bit shoddy, as the stopper thread might run active_load_balance_cpu_stop
before the sd->nr_balance_failed write either becomes visible to the
stopper's CPU or even happens on the CPU that appended the stopper work.
Add a struct lb_env flag to denote active balancing, and use it in
can_migrate_task(). Remove the sd->nr_balance_failed write that served the
same purpose. Cleanup the LBF_DST_PINNED active balance special case.

During load balance, LBF_SOME_PINNED will be set if any candidate task
cannot be detached due to CPU affinity constraints. This can result in
setting env->sd->parent->sgc->group_imbalance, which can lead to a group
being classified as group_imbalanced (rather than any of the other, lower
group_type) when balancing at a higher level.
In workloads involving a single task per CPU, LBF_SOME_PINNED can often be
set due to per-CPU kthreads being the only other runnable tasks on any
given rq. This results in changing the group classification during
load-balance at higher levels when in reality there is nothing that can be
done for this affinity constraint: per-CPU kthreads, as the name implies,
don't get to move around (modulo hotplug shenanigans).
It's not as clear for userspace tasks - a task could be in an N-CPU cpuset
with N-1 offline CPUs, making it an "accidental" per-CPU task rather than
an intended one. KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU gives us an indisputable signal which
we can leverage here to not set LBF_SOME_PINNED.
Note that the aforementioned classification to group_imbalance (when
nothing can be done) is especially problematic on big.LITTLE systems, which
have a topology the likes of:
DIE [ ]
MC [ ][ ]
0 1 2 3
L L B B
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) < arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B)
Here, setting LBF_SOME_PINNED due to a per-CPU kthread when balancing at MC
level on CPUs [0-1] will subsequently prevent CPUs [2-3] from classifying
the [0-1] group as group_misfit_task when balancing at DIE level. Thus, if
CPUs [0-1] are running CPU-bound (misfit) tasks, ill-timed per-CPU kthreads
can significantly delay the upgmigration of said misfit tasks. Systems
relying on ASYM_PACKING are likely to face similar issues.

Mel Gorman did some nice work in 9fe1f127b9 ("sched/fair: Merge
select_idle_core/cpu()"), resulting in the kernel being more efficient
at finding an idle CPU, and in tasks spending less time waiting to be
run, both according to the schedstats run_delay numbers, and according
to measured application latencies. Yay.
The flip side of this is that we see more task migrations (about 30%
more), higher cache misses, higher memory bandwidth utilization, and
higher CPU use, for the same number of requests/second.
This is most pronounced on a memcache type workload, which saw a
consistent 1-3% increase in total CPU use on the system, due to those
increased task migrations leading to higher L2 cache miss numbers, and
higher memory utilization. The exclusive L3 cache on Skylake does us
no favors there.
On our web serving workload, that effect is usually negligible.
It appears that the increased number of CPU migrations is generally a
good thing, since it leads to lower cpu_delay numbers, reflecting the
fact that tasks get to run faster. However, the reduced locality and
the corresponding increase in L2 cache misses hurts a little.
The patch below appears to fix the regression, while keeping the
benefit of the lower cpu_delay numbers, by reintroducing
select_idle_smt with a twist: when a socket has no idle cores, check
to see if the sibling of "prev" is idle, before searching all the
other CPUs.
This fixes both the occasional 9% regression on the web serving
workload, and the continuous 2% CPU use regression on the memcache
type workload.
With Mel's patches and this patch together, task migrations are still
high, but L2 cache misses, memory bandwidth, and CPU time used are
back down to what they were before. The p95 and p99 response times for
the memcache type application improve by about 10% over what they were
before Mel's patches got merged.

A long-tail load balance cost is observed on the newly idle path,
this is caused by a race window between the first nr_running check
of the busiest runqueue and its nr_running recheck in detach_tasks.
Before the busiest runqueue is locked, the tasks on the busiest
runqueue could be pulled by other CPUs and nr_running of the busiest
runqueu becomes 1 or even 0 if the running task becomes idle, this
causes detach_tasks breaks with LBF_ALL_PINNED flag set, and triggers
load_balance redo at the same sched_domain level.
In order to find the new busiest sched_group and CPU, load balance will
recompute and update the various load statistics, which eventually leads
to the long-tail load balance cost.
This patch clears LBF_ALL_PINNED flag for this race condition, and hence
reduces the long-tail cost of newly idle balance.

A significant portion of __calc_delta() time is spent in the loop
shifting a u64 by 32 bits. Use `fls` instead of iterating.
This is ~7x faster on benchmarks.
The generic `fls` implementation (`generic_fls`) is still ~4x faster
than the loop.
Architectures that have a better implementation will make use of it. For
example, on x86 we get an additional factor 2 in speed without dedicated
implementation.
On GCC, the asm versions of `fls` are about the same speed as the
builtin. On Clang, the versions that use fls are more than twice as
slow as the builtin. This is because the way the `fls` function is
written, clang puts the value in memory:

Being called for each dequeue, util_est reduces the number of its updates
by filtering out when the EWMA signal is different from the task util_avg
by less than 1%. It is a problem for a sudden util_avg ramp-up. Due to the
decay from a previous high util_avg, EWMA might now be close enough to
the new util_avg. No update would then happen while it would leave
ue.enqueued with an out-of-date value.
Taking into consideration the two util_est members, EWMA and enqueued for
the filtering, ensures, for both, an up-to-date value.
This is for now an issue only for the trace probe that might return the
stale value. Functional-wise, it isn't a problem, as the value is always
accessed through max(enqueued, ewma).
This problem has been observed using LISA's UtilConvergence:test_means on
the sd845c board.
No regression observed with Hackbench on sd845c and Perf-bench sched pipe
on hikey/hikey960.

Syzbot reported a handful of occurrences where an sd->nr_balance_failed can
grow to much higher values than one would expect.
A successful load_balance() resets it to 0; a failed one increments
it. Once it gets to sd->cache_nice_tries + 3, this *should* trigger an
active balance, which will either set it to sd->cache_nice_tries+1 or reset
it to 0. However, in case the to-be-active-balanced task is not allowed to
run on env->dst_cpu, then the increment is done without any further
modification.
This could then be repeated ad nauseam, and would explain the absurdly high
values reported by syzbot (86, 149). VincentG noted there is value in
letting sd->cache_nice_tries grow, so the shift itself should be
fixed. That means preventing:
"""
If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal
to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined.
"""
Thus we need to cap the shift exponent to
BITS_PER_TYPE(typeof(lefthand)) - 1.

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) computes for each perf_domain (pd) an
energy delta as follows:
feec(task)
for_each_pd
base_energy = compute_energy(task, -1, pd)
-> for_each_cpu(pd)
-> cpu_util_next(cpu, task, -1)
energy_delta = compute_energy(task, dst_cpu, pd)
-> for_each_cpu(pd)
-> cpu_util_next(cpu, task, dst_cpu)
energy_delta -= base_energy
Then it picks the best CPU as being the one that minimizes energy_delta.
cpu_util_next() estimates the CPU utilization that would happen if the
task was placed on dst_cpu as follows:
max(cpu_util + task_util, cpu_util_est + _task_util_est)
The task contribution to the energy delta can then be either:
(1) _task_util_est, on a mostly idle CPU, where cpu_util is close to 0
and _task_util_est > cpu_util.
(2) task_util, on a mostly busy CPU, where cpu_util > _task_util_est.
(cpu_util_est doesn't appear here. It is 0 when a CPU is idle and
otherwise must be small enough so that feec() takes the CPU as a
potential target for the task placement)
This is problematic for feec(), as cpu_util_next() might give an unfair
advantage to a CPU which is mostly busy (2) compared to one which is
mostly idle (1). _task_util_est being always bigger than task_util in
feec() (as the task is waking up), the task contribution to the energy
might look smaller on certain CPUs (2) and this breaks the energy
comparison.
This issue is, moreover, not sporadic. By starving idle CPUs, it keeps
their cpu_util < _task_util_est (1) while others will maintain cpu_util >
_task_util_est (2).
Fix this problem by always using max(task_util, _task_util_est) as a task
contribution to the energy (ENERGY_UTIL). The new estimated CPU
utilization for the energy would then be:
max(cpu_util, cpu_util_est) + max(task_util, _task_util_est)
compute_energy() still needs to know which OPP would be selected if the
task would be migrated in the perf_domain (FREQUENCY_UTIL). Hence,
cpu_util_next() is still used to estimate the maximum util within the pd.

If the task is pinned to a cpu, setting the misfit status means that
we'll unnecessarily continuously attempt to migrate the task but fail.
This continuous failure will cause the balance_interval to increase to
a high value, and eventually cause unnecessary significant delays in
balancing the system when real imbalance happens.
Caught while testing uclamp where rt-app calibration loop was pinned to
cpu 0, shortly after which we spawn another task with high util_clamp
value. The task was failing to migrate after over 40ms of runtime due to
balance_interval unnecessary expanded to a very high value from the
calibration loop.
Not done here, but it could be useful to extend the check for pinning to
verify that the affinity of the task has a cpu that fits. We could end
up in a similar situation otherwise.

attempts failed to migrate a task. There is no need to use active load
balance when the group is overloaded because an overloaded state means
that there is at least one waiting task. Nevertheless, the waiting task
is not selected and detached until the threshold becomes higher than its
load. This threshold increases with the number of failed lb (see the

SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised to trigger periodic load balancing. When CPU is not
active, CPU should not participate in load balancing.
The scheduler uses nohz.idle_cpus_mask to keep track of the CPUs which can
do idle load balancing. When bringing a CPU up the CPU is added to the mask
when it reaches the active state, but on teardown the CPU stays in the mask
until it goes offline and invokes sched_cpu_dying().
When SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised on a !active CPU, there might be a pending
softirq when stopping the tick which triggers a warning in NOHZ code. The
SCHED_SOFTIRQ can also be raised by the scheduler tick which has the same
issue.
Therefore remove the CPU from nohz.idle_cpus_mask when it is marked
inactive and also prevent the scheduler_tick() from raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ
after this point.

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.
Technically, it is a micro-optimisation but really the benefit is avoiding

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.

In the case of a thread wakeup, wake_affine determines whether a core
will be chosen for the thread on the socket where the thread ran
previously or on the socket of the waker. This is done primarily by
comparing the load of the core where th thread ran previously (prev)
and the load of the waker (this).
commit 11f10e5420 ("sched/fair: Use load instead of runnable load
in wakeup path") changed the load computation from the runnable load
to the load average, where the latter includes the load of threads
that have already blocked on the core.
When a short-running daemon processes happens to run on prev, this
change raised the situation that prev could appear to have a greater
load than this, even when prev is actually idle. When prev and this
are on the same socket, the idle prev is detected later, in
select_idle_sibling. But if that does not hold, prev is completely
ignored, causing the waking thread to move to the socket of the waker.
In the case of N mostly active threads on N cores, this triggers other
migrations and hurts performance.
In contrast, before commit 11f10e5420, the load on an idle core
was 0, and in the case of a non-idle waker core, the effect of
wake_affine was to select prev as the target for searching for a core
for the waking thread.
To avoid unnecessary migrations, extend wake_affine_idle to check
whether the core where the thread previously ran is currently idle,
and if so simply return that core as the target.

Jakub explained that the problem is that we put the alignment
requirement on the type instead of on a variable. Type alignment is a
minimum, the compiler is free to pick any larger alignment for a
specific instance of the type (eg. the variable).
So force the type alignment on all individual variable definitions and
remove the undesired dependency on vmlinux.lds.h.

A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.
Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:
- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
notification.
Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.

The intended behavior is to prefer next buddy over last buddy;

sched domains tend to trigger simultaneously the load balance loop but
the larger domains often need more time to collect statistics. This
slowness makes the larger domain trying to detach tasks from a rq whereas
tasks already migrated somewhere else at a sub-domain level. This is not
a real problem for idle LB because the period of smaller domains will
increase with its CPUs being busy and this will let time for higher ones
to pulled tasks. But this becomes a problem when all CPUs are already busy
because all domains stay synced when they trigger their LB.
A simple way to minimize simultaneous LB of all domains is to decrement the
the busy interval by 1 jiffies. Because of the busy_factor, the interval of
larger domain will not be a multiple of smaller ones anymore.

Some UCs like 9 always running tasks on 8 CPUs can't be balanced and the
load balancer currently migrates the waiting task between the CPUs in an
almost random manner. The success of a rq pulling a task depends of the
value of nr_balance_failed of its domains and its ability to be faster
than others to detach it. This behavior results in an unfair distribution
of the running time between tasks because some CPUs will run most of the
time, if not always, the same task whereas others will share their time
between several tasks.
Instead of using nr_balance_failed as a boolean to relax the condition
for detaching task, the LB will use nr_balanced_failed to relax the
threshold between the tasks'load and the imbalance. This mecanism
prevents the same rq or domain to always win the load balance fight.

We've met problems that occasionally tasks with full cpumask
(e.g. by putting it into a cpuset or setting to full affinity)
were migrated to our isolated cpus in production environment.
After some analysis, we found that it is due to the current
select_idle_smt() not considering the sched_domain mask.
Steps to reproduce on my 31-CPU hyperthreads machine:
1. with boot parameter: "isolcpus=domain,2-31"
(thread lists: 0,16 and 1,17)
2. cgcreate -g cpu:test; cgexec -g cpu:test "test_threads"
3. some threads will be migrated to the isolated cpu16~17.
Fix it by checking the valid domain mask in select_idle_smt().

In such situation the result of 'cpu_cap - util' might be negative but

In slow path, when selecting idlest group, if both groups have type
group_has_spare, only idle_cpus count gets compared.
As a result, if multiple tasks are created in a tight loop,
and go back to sleep immediately
(while waiting for all tasks to be created),
they may be scheduled on the same core, because CPU is back to idle
when the new fork happen.
For example:
sudo perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -- \
sysbench threads --threads=4 run
...
total number of events: 61582
...
sudo perf script
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.633466: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129380 [120] success=1 CPU:007

sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.637183: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129383 [120] success=1 CPU:007
This may have negative impact on performance for workloads with frequent
creation of multiple threads.
In this patch we are using group_util to select idlest group if both groups
have equal number of idle_cpus. Comparing the number of idle cpu is
not enough in this case, because the newly forked thread sleeps
immediately and before we select the cpu for the next one.
This is shown in the trace where the same CPU7 is selected for
all wakeup_new events.
That's why, looking at utilization when there is the same number of
CPU is a good way to see where the previous task was placed. Using
nr_running doesn't solve the problem because the newly forked task is not
running and the cpu would not have been idle in this case and an idle
CPU would have been selected instead.
With this patch newly created tasks would be better distributed.
With this patch:
sudo perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -- \
sysbench threads --threads=4 run
...

...

task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng
mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores
system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because
env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after
reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of
the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1.
misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such
situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem
because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous

Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks
->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and
provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the
form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external
kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including
the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at:
https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git
A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be
found at:
https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running
The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which
are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in
the header a wrapper call is used and the trace/events/sched.h include
is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.

Some performance regression on reaim benchmark have been raised with
commit 070f5e860e ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group")
The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized
with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally
a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and
tasks are pulled less agressively.
Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there
is no waiting time so far.

When encountering throttled cfs_rq, dequeue_throttle label can ensure
se not to be NULL, and rq->nr_running remains unchanged, so we can also

Also, the nohz.next_balance is now updated only if all idle cpus got a
chance to rebalance their domains and the idle balance has not been aborted
because of new activities on the CPU. In case of need_resched, the idle

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 kick_ilb() got this wrong.
While on first reading kick_ilb() 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.
Rework the nohz_idle_balance() trigger so that the release is in the
IPI callback and thus guarantees the required serialization for the
CSD.

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.

The recent patch, fe61468b2c (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning)
did not fully resolve the issues with the rq->tmp_alone_branch !=
&rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where
the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely
updated the list. In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can
further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do
what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out
of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was
already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy.
Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents
while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.

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

The SD_LOAD_BALANCE flag is set unconditionally for all domains in
sd_init(). By making the sched_domain->flags syctl interface read-only, we
have removed the last piece of code that could clear that flag - as such,
it will now be always present. Rather than to keep carrying it along, we
can work towards getting rid of it entirely.
cpusets don't need it because they can make CPUs be attached to the NULL
domain (e.g. cpuset with sched_load_balance=0), or to a partitioned
root_domain, i.e. a sched_domain hierarchy that doesn't span the entire
system (e.g. root cpuset with sched_load_balance=0 and sibling cpusets with
sched_load_balance=1).
isolcpus apply the same "trick": isolated CPUs are explicitly taken out of
the sched_domain rebuild (using housekeeping_cpumask()), so they get the
NULL domain treatment as well.

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).

There is a race window in which an entity begins throttling before quota
is added to the pool, but does not finish throttling until after we have
finished with distribute_cfs_runtime(). This entity is not observed by
distribute_cfs_runtime() because it was not on the throttled list at the
time that distribution was running. This race manifests as rare
period-length statlls for such entities.
Rather than heavy-weight the synchronization with the progress of
distribution, we can fix this by aborting throttling if bandwidth has
become available. Otherwise, we immediately add the entity to the
throttled list so that it can be observed by a subsequent distribution.
Additionally, we can remove the case of adding the throttled entity to
the head of the throttled list, and simply always add to the tail.
Thanks to 26a8b12747, distribute_cfs_runtime() no longer holds onto
its own pool of runtime. This means that if we do hit the !assign and
distribute_running case, we know that distribution is about to end.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.
As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

A negative imbalance value was observed after imbalance calculation,
this happens when the local sched group type is group_fully_busy,
and the average load of local group is greater than the selected
busiest group. Fix this problem by comparing the average load of the

Currently, there is a potential race between distribute_cfs_runtime()
and assign_cfs_rq_runtime(). Race happens when cfs_b->runtime is read,
distributes without holding lock and finds out there is not enough
runtime to charge against after distribution. Because
assign_cfs_rq_runtime() might be called during distribution, and use
cfs_b->runtime at the same time.
Fibtest is the tool to test this race. Assume all gcfs_rq is throttled
and cfs period timer runs, slow threads might run and sleep, returning
unused cfs_rq runtime and keeping min_cfs_rq_runtime in their local
pool. If all this happens sufficiently quickly, cfs_b->runtime will drop
a lot. If runtime distributed is large too, over-use of runtime happens.
A runtime over-using by about 70 percent of quota is seen when we
test fibtest on a 96-core machine. We run fibtest with 1 fast thread and
95 slow threads in test group, configure 10ms quota for this group and
see the CPU usage of fibtest is 17.0%, which is far more than the
expected 10%.
On a smaller machine with 32 cores, we also run fibtest with 96
threads. CPU usage is more than 12%, which is also more than expected
10%. This shows that on similar workloads, this race do affect CPU
bandwidth control.
Solve this by holding lock inside distribute_cfs_runtime().

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)

During load_balancing, a group with spare capacity will try to pull some
utilizations from an overloaded group. In such case, the load balance
looks for the runqueue with the highest utilization. Nevertheless, it
should also ensure that there are some pending tasks to pull otherwise
the load balance will fail to pull a task and the spread of the load will
be delayed.
This situation is quite transient but it's possible to highlight the
effect with a short run of sysbench test so the time to spread task impacts
the global result significantly.
Below are the average results for 15 iterations on an arm64 octo core:
sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --max-requests=1000 run
tip/sched/core +patchset
total time: 172ms 158ms
per-request statistics:
avg: 1.337ms 1.244ms
max: 21.191ms 10.753ms
The average max doesn't fully reflect the wide spread of the value which
ranges from 1.350ms to more than 41ms for the tip/sched/core and from
1.350ms to 21ms with the patch.
Other factors like waiting for an idle load balance or cache hotness
can delay the spreading of the tasks which explains why we can still
have up to 21ms with the patch.

When a cfs rq is throttled, the latter and its child are removed from the
leaf list but their nr_running is not changed which includes staying higher
than 1. When a task is enqueued in this throttled branch, the cfs rqs must
be added back in order to ensure correct ordering in the list but this can
only happens if nr_running == 1.
When cfs bandwidth is used, we call unconditionnaly list_add_leaf_cfs_rq()
when enqueuing an entity to make sure that the complete branch will be
added.
Similarly unthrottle_cfs_rq() can stop adding cfs in the list when a parent
is throttled. Iterate the remaining entity to ensure that the complete
branch will be added in the list.

Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still
be enqueued and its gse->on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such
child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase
h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st
for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse->on_rq == true and the
2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both
load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case.
The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before
breaking in the 1st loop.
Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order
to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop
early because the clock stays unchanged.

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.

scan for an alternative idle CPU. select_idle_sibling is not used because
it requires IRQs to be disabled and it ignores numa_migrate_on allowing

task_numa_find_cpu() can scan a node multiple times. Minimally it scans to
gather statistics and later to find a suitable target. In some cases, the
second scan will simply pick an idle CPU if the load is not imbalanced.
This patch caches information on an idle core while gathering statistics
and uses it immediately if load is not imbalanced to avoid a second scan
of the node runqueues. Preference is given to an idle core rather than an
idle SMT sibling to avoid packing HT siblings due to linearly scanning the
node cpumask.
As a side-effect, even when the second scan is necessary, the importance
of using select_idle_sibling is much reduced because information on idle
CPUs is cached and can be reused.
Note that this patch actually makes is harder to move to an idle CPU
as multiple tasks can race for the same idle CPU due to a race checking
numa_migrate_on. This is addressed in the next patch.

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.

The standard load balancer generally tries to keep the number of running
tasks or idle CPUs balanced between NUMA domains. The NUMA balancer allows
tasks to move if there is spare capacity but this causes a conflict and
utilisation between NUMA nodes gets badly skewed. This patch uses similar
logic between the NUMA balancer and load balancer when deciding if a task
migrating to its preferred node can use an idle CPU.

Similarly to what has been done for the normal load balancer, we can
replace runnable_load_avg by load_avg in numa load balancing and track the
other statistics like the utilization and the number of running tasks to
get to better view of the current state of a node.

The walk through the cgroup hierarchy during the enqueue/dequeue of a task
is split in 2 distinct parts for throttled cfs_rq without any added value
but making code less readable.
Change the code ordering such that everything related to a cfs_rq
(throttled or not) will be done in the same loop.
In addition, the same steps ordering is used when updating a cfs_rq:
- update_load_avg
- update_cfs_group
- update *h_nr_running
This reordering enables the use of h_nr_running in PELT algorithm.
No functional and performance changes are expected and have been noticed
during tests.

sched:sched_stick_numa is meant to fire when a task is unable to migrate
to the preferred node. The case where no candidate CPU could be found is
not traced which is an important gap. The tracepoint is not fired when
the task is not allowed to run on any CPU on the preferred node or the
task is already running on the target CPU but neither are interesting
corner cases.

Issue
=====
On asymmetric CPU capacity topologies, we currently rely on wake_cap() to
drive select_task_rq_fair() towards either:
- its slow-path (find_idlest_cpu()) if either the previous or
current (waking) CPU has too little capacity for the waking task
- its fast-path (select_idle_sibling()) otherwise
Commit:
3273163c67 ("sched/fair: Let asymmetric CPU configurations balance at wake-up")
points out that this relies on the assumption that "[...]the CPU capacities
within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous".
This assumption no longer holds on newer generations of big.LITTLE
systems (DynamIQ), which can accommodate CPUs of different compute capacity
within a single LLC domain. To hopefully paint a better picture, a regular
big.LITTLE topology would look like this:
+---------+ +---------+
| L2 | | L2 |
+----+----+ +----+----+
|CPU0|CPU1| |CPU2|CPU3|
+----+----+ +----+----+
^^^ ^^^
LITTLEs bigs
which would result in the following scheduler topology:
DIE [ ] <- sd_asym_cpucapacity
MC [ ] [ ] <- sd_llc
0 1 2 3
Conversely, a DynamIQ topology could look like:
+-------------------+
| L3 |
+----+----+----+----+
| L2 | L2 | L2 | L2 |
+----+----+----+----+
|CPU0|CPU1|CPU2|CPU3|
+----+----+----+----+
^^^^^ ^^^^^
LITTLEs bigs
which would result in the following scheduler topology:
MC [ ] <- sd_llc, sd_asym_cpucapacity
0 1 2 3
What this means is that, on DynamIQ systems, we could pass the wake_cap()
test (IOW presume the waking task fits on the CPU capacities of some LLC
domain), thus go through select_idle_sibling().
This function operates on an LLC domain, which here spans both bigs and
LITTLEs, so it could very well pick a CPU of too small capacity for the
task, despite there being fitting idle CPUs - it very much depends on the
CPU iteration order, on which we have absolutely no guarantees
capacity-wise.
Implementation
==============
Introduce yet another select_idle_sibling() helper function that takes CPU
capacity into account. The policy is to pick the first idle CPU which is
big enough for the task (task_util * margin < cpu_capacity). If no
idle CPU is big enough, we pick the idle one with the highest capacity.
Unlike other select_idle_sibling() helpers, this one operates on the
sd_asym_cpucapacity sched_domain pointer, which is guaranteed to span all
known CPU capacities in the system. As such, this will work for both
"legacy" big.LITTLE (LITTLEs & bigs split at MC, joined at DIE) and for
newer DynamIQ systems (e.g. LITTLEs and bigs in the same MC domain).
Note that this limits the scope of select_idle_sibling() to
select_idle_capacity() for asymmetric CPU capacity systems - the LLC domain
will not be scanned, and no further heuristic will be applied.

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.

The CPU load balancer balances between different domains to spread load
and strives to have equal balance everywhere. Communicating tasks can
migrate so they are topologically close to each other but these decisions
are independent. On a lightly loaded NUMA machine, two communicating tasks
pulled together at wakeup time can be pushed apart by the load balancer.
In isolation, the load balancer decision is fine but it ignores the tasks
data locality and the wakeup/LB paths continually conflict. NUMA balancing
is also a factor but it also simply conflicts with the load balancer.
This patch allows a fixed degree of imbalance of two tasks to exist
between NUMA domains regardless of utilisation levels. In many cases,
this prevents communicating tasks being pulled apart. It was evaluated
whether the imbalance should be scaled to the domain size. However, no
additional benefit was measured across a range of workloads and machines
and scaling adds the risk that lower domains have to be rebalanced. While
this could change again in the future, such a change should specify the
use case and benefit.
The most obvious impact is on netperf TCP_STREAM -- two simple
communicating tasks with some softirq offload depending on the
transmission rate.

In this case, there was a sizable improvement to performance and
a general reduction in variance. However, this is not univeral.
For most machines, the impact was roughly a 3% performance gain.

Ops NUMA hint local percent 52.18 99.30
Ops NUMA pages migrated 4244.00 1.00
Without the patch, only 52.18% of sampled accesses are local. In an
earlier changelog, 100% of sampled accesses are local and indeed on
most machines, this was still the case. In this specific case, the
local sampled rates was 99.3% but note the "base-page range updates"
and "PTE updates". The activity with the patch is negligible as were
the number of faults. The small number of pages migrated were related to
shared libraries. A 2-socket Broadwell showed better results on average
but are not presented for brevity as the performance was similar except
it showed 100% of the sampled NUMA hints were local. The patch holds up
for a 4-socket Haswell, an AMD EPYC and AMD Epyc 2 machine.
For dbench, the impact depends on the filesystem used and the number of
clients. On XFS, there is little difference as the clients typically
communicate with workqueues which have a separate class of scheduler
problem at the moment. For ext4, performance is generally better,
particularly for small numbers of clients as NUMA balancing activity is
negligible with the patch applied.
A more interesting example is the Facebook schbench which uses a
number of messaging threads to communicate with worker threads. In this
configuration, one messaging thread is used per NUMA node and the number of
worker threads is varied. The 50, 75, 90, 95, 99, 99.5 and 99.9 percentiles
for response latency is then reported.

For higher worker threads, the differences become negligible but it's
interesting to note the difference in wakeup latency at low utilisation
and mpstat confirms that activity was almost all on one node until
the number of worker threads increase.
Hackbench generally showed neutral results across a range of machines.
This is different to earlier versions of the patch which allowed imbalances
for higher degrees of utilisation. perf bench pipe showed negligible
differences in overall performance as the differences are very close to
the noise.
An earlier prototype of the patch showed major regressions for NAS C-class
when running with only half of the available CPUs -- 20-30% performance
hits were measured at the time. With this version of the patch, the impact
is negligible with small gains/losses within the noise measured. This is
because the number of threads far exceeds the small imbalance the aptch
cares about. Similarly, there were report of regressions for the autonuma
benchmark against earlier versions but again, normal load balancing now
applies for that workload.
In general, the patch simply seeks to avoid unnecessary cross-node
migrations in the basic case where imbalances are very small. For low
utilisation communicating workloads, this patch generally behaves better
with less NUMA balancing activity. For high utilisation, there is no
change in behaviour.

With commit
bef69dd878 ("sched/cpufreq: Move the cfs_rq_util_change() call to cpufreq_update_util()")
update_load_avg() has become the central point for calling cpufreq
(not including the update of blocked load). This change helps to
simplify further the number of calls to cpufreq_update_util() and to
remove last redundant ones. With update_load_avg(), we are now sure
that cpufreq_update_util() will be called after every task attachment
to a cfs_rq and especially after propagating this event down to the
util_avg of the root cfs_rq, which is the level that is used by
cpufreq governors like schedutil to set the frequency of a CPU.
The SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION flag forces an early call to cpufreq when
the migration happens in a cgroup whereas util_avg of root cfs_rq is
not yet updated and this call is duplicated with the one that happens
immediately after when the migration event reaches the root cfs_rq.
The dedicated flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION is now useless and can be
removed. The interface of attach_entity_load_avg() can also be
simplified accordingly.

commit e3d6d0cb66 ("sched/fair: Add sched_group per-CPU max capacity")
introduced per-cpu max_capacity.
In the SD_OVERLAP case, the local variable 'capacity' represents the sum
of CPU capacity of all CPUs in the first sched group (sg) of the sched
domain (sd).
It is erroneously used to calculate sg's min and max CPU capacity.
To fix this use capacity_of(cpu) instead of 'capacity'.
The code which achieves this via cpu_rq(cpu)->sd->groups->sgc->capacity
(for rq->sd != NULL) can be removed since it delivers the same value as
capacity_of(cpu) which is currently only used for the (!rq->sd) case
(see update_cpu_capacity()).
An sg of the lowest sd (rq->sd or sd->child == NULL) represents a single
CPU (and hence sg->sgc->capacity == capacity_of(cpu)).

The fair scheduler performs periodic load balance on every CPU to check
if it can pull some tasks from other busy CPUs. The duration of this
periodic load balance is set to sd->balance_interval for the idle CPUs
and is calculated by multiplying the sd->balance_interval with the
sd->busy_factor (set to 32 by default) for the busy CPUs. The
multiplication is done for busy CPUs to avoid doing load balance too
often and rather spend more time executing actual task. While that is
the right thing to do for the CPUs busy with SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH
tasks, it may not be the optimal thing for CPUs running only SCHED_IDLE
tasks.
With the recent enhancements in the fair scheduler around SCHED_IDLE
CPUs, we now prefer to enqueue a newly-woken task to a SCHED_IDLE
CPU instead of other busy or idle CPUs. The same reasoning should be
applied to the load balancer as well to make it migrate tasks more
aggressively to a SCHED_IDLE CPU, as that will reduce the scheduling
latency of the migrated (SCHED_OTHER) tasks.
This patch makes minimal changes to the fair scheduler to do the next
load balance soon after the last non SCHED_IDLE task is dequeued from a
runqueue, i.e. making the CPU SCHED_IDLE. Also the sd->busy_factor is
ignored while calculating the balance_interval for such CPUs. This is
done to avoid delaying the periodic load balance by few hundred
milliseconds for SCHED_IDLE CPUs.
This is tested on ARM64 Hikey620 platform (octa-core) with the help of
rt-app and it is verified, using kernel traces, that the newly
SCHED_IDLE CPU does load balancing shortly after it becomes SCHED_IDLE
and pulls tasks from other busy CPUs.

Similarly to calculate_imbalance() and find_busiest_group(), using the
number of idle CPUs when there is only 1 CPU in the group is not efficient
because we can't make a difference between a CPU running 1 task and a CPU
running dozens of small tasks competing for the same CPU but not enough
to overload it. More generally speaking, we should use the number of
running tasks when there is the same number of idle CPUs in a group instead
of blindly select the 1st one.
When the groups have spare capacity and the same number of idle CPUs, we
compare the number of running tasks to select the busiest group.

task_fits_capacity() has just been made uclamp-aware, and
find_energy_efficient_cpu() needs to go through the same treatment.
Things are somewhat different here however - using the task max clamp isn't
sufficient. Consider the following setup:
The target runqueue, rq:
rq.cpu_capacity_orig = 512
rq.cfs.avg.util_avg = 200
rq.uclamp.max = 768 // the max p.uclamp.max of all enqueued p's is 768
The waking task, p (not yet enqueued on rq):
p.util_est = 600
p.uclamp.max = 100
Now, consider the following code which doesn't use the rq clamps:
util = uclamp_task_util(p);
// Does the task fit in the spare CPU capacity?
cpu = cpu_of(rq);
fits_capacity(util, cpu_capacity(cpu) - cpu_util(cpu))
This would lead to:
util = 100;
fits_capacity(100, 512 - 200)
fits_capacity() would return true. However, enqueuing p on that CPU *will*
cause it to become overutilized since rq clamp values are max-aggregated,
so we'd remain with
rq.uclamp.max = 768
which comes from the other tasks already enqueued on rq. Thus, we could
select a high enough frequency to reach beyond 0.8 * 512 utilization
(== overutilized) after enqueuing p on rq. What find_energy_efficient_cpu()
needs here is uclamp_rq_util_with() which lets us peek at the future
utilization landscape, including rq-wide uclamp values.
Make find_energy_efficient_cpu() use uclamp_rq_util_with() for its
fits_capacity() check. This is in line with what compute_energy() ends up
using for estimating utilization.

task_fits_capacity() drives CPU selection at wakeup time, and is also used
to detect misfit tasks. Right now it does so by comparing task_util_est()
with a CPU's capacity, but doesn't take into account uclamp restrictions.
There's a few interesting uses that can come out of doing this. For
instance, a low uclamp.max value could prevent certain tasks from being
flagged as misfit tasks, so they could merrily remain on low-capacity CPUs.
Similarly, a high uclamp.min value would steer tasks towards high capacity
CPUs at wakeup (and, should that fail, later steered via misfit balancing),
so such "boosted" tasks would favor CPUs of higher capacity.
Introduce uclamp_task_util() and make task_fits_capacity() use it.

There are instances where we keep searching for an idle CPU despite
already having a sched-idle CPU (in find_idlest_group_cpu(),
select_idle_smt() and select_idle_cpu() and then there are places where
we don't necessarily do that and return a sched-idle CPU as soon as we
find one (in select_idle_sibling()). This looks a bit inconsistent and
it may be worth having the same policy everywhere.
On the other hand, choosing a sched-idle CPU over a idle one shall be
beneficial from performance and power point of view as well, as we don't
need to get the CPU online from a deep idle state which wastes quite a
lot of time and energy and delays the scheduling of the newly woken up
task.
This patch tries to simplify code around sched-idle CPU selection and
make it consistent throughout.
Testing is done with the help of rt-app on hikey board (ARM64 octa-core,
2 clusters, 0-3 and 4-7). The cpufreq governor was set to performance to
avoid any side affects from CPU frequency. Following are the tests
performed:
Test 1: 1-cfs-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned to CPU5 which runs for 2333 us
out of 7777 us (so gives time for the cluster to go in deep idle
state).
Test 2: 1-cfs-1-idle-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and single SCHED_IDLE
task is pinned on CPU6 (to make sure cluster 1 doesn't go in deep idle
state).
Test 3: 1-cfs-8-idle-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and eight SCHED_IDLE
tasks are created which run forever (not pinned anywhere, so they run
on all CPUs). Checked with kernelshark that as soon as NORMAL task
sleeps, the SCHED_IDLE task starts running on CPU5.
And here are the results on mean latency (in us), using the "st" tool.
$ st 1-cfs-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
642 90 592 197180 307.134 109.906
$ st 1-cfs-1-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
642 67 311 113850 177.336 41.4251

N min max sum mean stddev
643 29 173 41364 64.3297 13.2344
The mean latency when we need to:
- wakeup from deep idle state is 307 us.
- wakeup from shallow idle state is 177 us.
- preempt a SCHED_IDLE task is 64 us.

But it consume some CPUs out of 'nr' that are not allowed
for the task and thus waste our attempts. The function
always return nr_cpumask_bits, and we can't find a CPU
which our task is allowed to run.
Cpumask may be too big, similar to select_idle_core(), use
per_cpu_ptr 'select_idle_mask' to prevent stack overflow.

The load balance can fail to find a suitable task during the periodic check
because the imbalance is smaller than half of the load of the waiting
tasks. This results in the increase of the number of failed load balance,
which can end up to start an active migration. This active migration is
useless because the current running task is not a better choice than the
waiting ones. In fact, the current task was probably not running but
waiting for the CPU during one of the previous attempts and it had already
not been selected.
When load balance fails too many times to migrate a task, we should relax
the contraint on the maximum load of the tasks that can be migrated
similarly to what is done with cache hotness.
Before the rework, load balance used to set the imbalance to the average
load_per_task in order to mitigate such situation. This increased the
likelihood of migrating a task but also of selecting a larger task than
needed while more appropriate ones were in the list.

Because of CPU affinity, the local group can be skipped which breaks the
assumption that statistics are always collected for local group. With

If the local group has been skipped because of CPU affinity, we return

update_cfs_rq_load_avg() calls cfs_rq_util_change() every time PELT decays,
which might be inefficient when the cpufreq driver has rate limitation.
When a task is attached on a CPU, we have this call path:
update_load_avg()
update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update
attach_entity_load_avg()
cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update
The 1st frequency update will not take into account the utilization of the
newly attached task and the 2nd one might be discarded because of rate
limitation of the cpufreq driver.
update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is only called by update_blocked_averages()
and update_load_avg() so we can move the call to
cfs_rq_util_change/cpufreq_update_util() into these two functions.
It's also interesting to note that update_load_avg() already calls
cfs_rq_util_change() directly for the !SMP case.
This change will also ensure that cpufreq_update_util() is called even
when there is no more CFS rq in the leaf_cfs_rq_list to update, but only
IRQ, RT or DL PELT signals.

The task, for which the scheduler looks for the idlest group of CPUs, must
be discounted from all statistics in order to get a fair comparison
between groups. This includes utilization, load, nr_running and idle_cpus.
Such unfairness can be easily highlighted with the unixbench execl 1 task.
This test continuously call execve() and the scheduler looks for the idlest
group/CPU on which it should place the task. Because the task runs on the
local group/CPU, the latter seems already busy even if there is nothing
else running on it. As a result, the scheduler will always select another
group/CPU than the local one.
This recovers most of the performance regression on my system from the
recent load-balancer rewrite.

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

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().

The estimated utilization for a task:
util_est = max(util_avg, est.enqueue, est.ewma)
is defined based on:
- util_avg: the PELT defined utilization
- est.enqueued: the util_avg at the end of the last activation
- est.ewma: a exponential moving average on the est.enqueued samples
According to this definition, when a task suddenly changes its bandwidth
requirements from small to big, the EWMA will need to collect multiple
samples before converging up to track the new big utilization.
This slow convergence towards bigger utilization values is not
aligned to the default scheduler behavior, which is to optimize for
performance. Moreover, the est.ewma component fails to compensate for
temporarely utilization drops which spans just few est.enqueued samples.
To let util_est do a better job in the scenario depicted above, change
its definition by making util_est directly follow upward motion and
only decay the est.ewma on downward.

The slow wake up path computes per sched_group statisics to select the
idlest group, which is quite similar to what load_balance() is doing
for selecting busiest group. Rework find_idlest_group() to classify the

Runnable load was originally introduced to take into account the case where
blocked load biases the wake up path which may end to select an overloaded
CPU with a large number of runnable tasks instead of an underutilized
CPU with a huge blocked load.
Tha wake up path now starts looking for idle CPUs before comparing
runnable load and it's worth aligning the wake up path with the
load_balance() logic.

Utilization is used to detect a misfit task but the load is then used to
select the task on the CPU which can lead to select a small task with
high weight instead of the task that triggered the misfit migration.

task instead of using the load.

'runnable load' was originally introduced to take into account the case
where blocked load biases the load balance decision which was selecting
underutilized groups with huge blocked load whereas other groups were

The load is now only used when groups are overloaded. In this case,
it's worth being conservative and taking into account the sleeping
tasks that might wake up on the CPU.

CFS load_balance() only takes care of CFS tasks whereas CPUs can be used by
other scheduling classes. Typically, a CFS task preempted by an RT or deadline
task will not get a chance to be pulled by another CPU because
load_balance() doesn't take into account tasks from other classes.
Add sum of nr_running in the statistics and use it to detect such
situations.

The load_balance() algorithm contains some heuristics which have become
meaningless since the rework of the scheduler's metrics like the
introduction of PELT.
Furthermore, load is an ill-suited metric for solving certain task
placement imbalance scenarios.
For instance, in the presence of idle CPUs, we should simply try to get at
least one task per CPU, whereas the current load-based algorithm can actually
leave idle CPUs alone simply because the load is somewhat balanced.
The current algorithm ends up creating virtual and meaningless values like
the avg_load_per_task or tweaks the state of a group to make it overloaded
whereas it's not, in order to try to migrate tasks.
load_balance() should better qualify the imbalance of the group and clearly
define what has to be moved to fix this imbalance.
The type of sched_group has been extended to better reflect the type of
imbalance. We now have:
group_has_spare
group_fully_busy
group_misfit_task
group_asym_packing
group_imbalanced
group_overloaded
Based on the type of sched_group, load_balance now sets what it wants to
move in order to fix the imbalance. It can be some load as before but also
some utilization, a number of task or a type of task:
migrate_task
migrate_util
migrate_load
migrate_misfit
This new load_balance() algorithm fixes several pending wrong tasks
placement:
- the 1 task per CPU case with asymmetric system
- the case of cfs task preempted by other class
- the case of tasks not evenly spread on groups with spare capacity
Also the load balance decisions have been consolidated in the 3 functions
below after removing the few bypasses and hacks of the current code:
- update_sd_pick_busiest() select the busiest sched_group.
- find_busiest_group() checks if there is an imbalance between local and
busiest group.
- calculate_imbalance() decides what have to be moved.
Finally, the now unused field total_running of struct sd_lb_stats has been
removed.

The quota/period ratio is used to ensure a child task group won't get
more bandwidth than the parent task group, and is calculated as:
normalized_cfs_quota() = [(quota_us << 20) / period_us]
If the quota/period ratio was changed during this scaling due to
precision loss, it will cause inconsistency between parent and child
task groups.
See below example:
A userspace container manager (kubelet) does three operations:
1) Create a parent cgroup, set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us.
2) Create a few children cgroups.
3) Set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us on a child cgroup.
These operations are expected to succeed. However, if the scaling of
147/128 happens before step 3, quota and period of the parent cgroup
will be changed:
new_quota: 1148437ns, 1148us
new_period: 11484375ns, 11484us
And when step 3 comes in, the ratio of the child cgroup will be
104857, which will be larger than the parent cgroup ratio (104821),
and will fail.
Scaling them by a factor of 2 will fix the problem.

The EAS wake-up path computes the system energy for several CPU
candidates: the CPU with maximum spare capacity in each performance
domain, and the prev_cpu. However, if prev_cpu also happens to be the
CPU with maximum spare capacity in its performance domain, the energy
calculation is still done twice, unnecessarily.
Add a condition to filter out this corner case before doing the energy
calculation.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.
As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)
- Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
to go though.
- Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.
- Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).
- Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.
- Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.
- Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.
- Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
being offlined.
- Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
before.
- Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
optimal.
- Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.
- Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.
- ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
the Git log for more details.

EAS computes the energy impact of migrating a waking task when deciding
on which CPU it should run. However, the current approach is known to
have a high algorithmic complexity, which can result in prohibitively
high wake-up latencies on systems with complex energy models, such as
systems with per-CPU DVFS. On such systems, the algorithm complexity is
in O(n^2) (ignoring the cost of searching for performance states in the
EM) with 'n' the number of CPUs.
To address this, re-factor the EAS wake-up path to compute the energy
'delta' (with and without the task) on a per-performance domain basis,
rather than system-wide, which brings the complexity down to O(n).
No functional changes intended.

* Setup: Tested on a Google Pixel 3, with a Snapdragon 845 (4+4 CPUs,
A55/A75). Base kernel is 5.3-rc5 + Pixel3 specific patches. Android
userspace, no graphics.
* Test case: Run a periodic rt-app task, with 16ms period, ramping down
from 70% to 10%, in 5% steps of 500 ms each (json avail. at [1]).
Frequencies of all CPUs are pinned to max (using scaling_min_freq

select_task_rq_fair() is measured using the function profiler
(/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*). See the test script
for more details [2].
Test 1:
I hacked the DT to 'fake' per-CPU DVFS. That is, we end up with one
CPUFreq policy per CPU (8 policies in total). Since all frequencies are
pinned to max for the test, this should have no impact on the actual
frequency selection, but it does in the EAS calculation.

do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b->runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly, then other cfs_rqs
attached to this cfs_b can't get runtime and will be throttled.
We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq->runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet:
distribute_cfs_runtime() {
runtime = -cfs_rq->runtime_remaining + 1;
}
The runtime here will change to a large number and consume all
cfs_b->runtime in this cfs_b period.
According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.
This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled until that distribute_cfs_runtime is called.

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.

Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.
For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do
balancing, and we could do this before the picking loop. Make this
possible.

For pick_next_task_fair() it is the newidle balance that requires
dropping the rq->lock; provided we do put_prev_task() early, we can

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.

We try to find an idle CPU to run the next task, but in case we don't
find an idle CPU it is better to pick a CPU which will run the task the
soonest, for performance reason.
A CPU which isn't idle but has only SCHED_IDLE activity queued on it
should be a good target based on this criteria as any normal fair task
will most likely preempt the currently running SCHED_IDLE task
immediately. In fact, choosing a SCHED_IDLE CPU over a fully idle one
shall give better results as it should be able to run the task sooner
than an idle CPU (which requires to be woken up from an idle state).
This patch updates both fast and slow paths with this optimization.

The load_balance() has a dedicated mecanism to detect when an imbalance
is due to CPU affinity and must be handled at parent level. In this case,
the imbalance field of the parent's sched_group is set.
The description of sg_imbalanced() gives a typical example of two groups
of 4 CPUs each and 4 tasks each with a cpumask covering 1 CPU of the first
group and 3 CPUs of the second group. Something like:
{ 0 1 2 3 } { 4 5 6 7 }
* * * *
But the load_balance fails to fix this UC on my octo cores system
made of 2 clusters of quad cores.
Whereas the load_balance is able to detect that the imbalanced is due to
CPU affinity, it fails to fix it because the imbalance field is cleared
before letting parent level a chance to run. In fact, when the imbalance is
detected, the load_balance reruns without the CPU with pinned tasks. But
there is no other running tasks in the situation described above and
everything looks balanced this time so the imbalance field is immediately
cleared.
The imbalance field should not be cleared if there is no other task to move
when the imbalance is detected.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.
During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.
Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

- Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.
- Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
power management features, including energy aware scheduling.
- Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior.
- Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
Git log for details.

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.

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.

The term 'weighted' is not needed since there is no 'unweighted' load.
Instead use the term 'runnable' to distinguish 'runnable' load
(avg.runnable_load_avg) used in load balance from load (avg.load_avg)
which is the sum of 'runnable' and 'blocked' load.

The new tracepoint allows us to track the changes in overutilized
status.
Overutilized status is associated with EAS. It indicates that the system
is in high performance state. EAS is disabled when the system is in this
state since there's not much energy savings while high performance tasks
are pushing the system to the limit and it's better to default to the
spreading behavior of the scheduler.
This tracepoint helps understanding and debugging the conditions under
which this happens.

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.

cfs_rq_has_blocked() and others_have_blocked() are only used within
update_blocked_averages(). The !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED version of the
latter calls them within a #define CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON block, whereas
the CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED one calls them unconditionnally.
As reported by Qian, the above leads to this warning in
!CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON configs:
kernel/sched/fair.c: In function 'update_blocked_averages':
kernel/sched/fair.c:7750:7: warning: variable 'done' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
It wouldn't be wrong to keep cfs_rq_has_blocked() and
others_have_blocked() as they are, but since their only current use is
to figure out when we can stop calling update_blocked_averages() on
fully decayed NOHZ idle CPUs, we can give them a new definition for
!CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON.
Change the definition of cfs_rq_has_blocked() and
others_have_blocked() for !CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON so that the
NOHZ-specific blocks of update_blocked_averages() become no-ops and
the 'done' variable gets optimised out.
While at it, remove the CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON block from the
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED definition of update_blocked_averages() by
using the newly-introduced update_blocked_load_status() helper.
No change in functionality intended.

In commit:
4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")
the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.
As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:
struct task_struct {
const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr;
cpumask_t cpus_mask;
};
with
t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;
In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:
t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));
in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:
- Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
- Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

The NOHZ idle balancer runs on the lowest idle CPU. This can
interfere with isolated CPUs, so confine it to HK_FLAG_MISC
housekeeping CPUs.
HK_FLAG_SCHED is not used for this because it is not set anywhere
at the moment. This could be folded into HK_FLAG_SCHED once that
option is fixed.
The problem was observed with increased jitter on an application
running on CPU0, caused by NOHZ idle load balancing being run on
CPU1 (an SMT sibling).

sched_clock_cpu() may not be consistent between CPUs. If a task
migrates to another CPU, then se.exec_start is set to that CPU's
rq_clock_task() by update_stats_curr_start(). Specifically, the new
value might be before the old value due to clock skew.
So then if in numa_get_avg_runtime() the expression:
'now - p->last_task_numa_placement'
ends up as -1, then the divider '*period + 1' in task_numa_placement()
is 0 and things go bang. Similar to update_curr(), check if time goes
backwards to avoid this.

To prevent this we add protection to the loop that detects when the loop has run

can complete before then next period expires. This preserves the relative runtime
quota while preventing the hard lockup.

A NULL pointer dereference bug was reported on a distribution kernel but
the same issue should be present on mainline kernel. It occured on s390
but should not be arch-specific. A partial oops looks like:
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
...
Call Trace:

The bug hits any time between 1 hour to 3 days. The dereference occurs
in update_cfs_rq_h_load when accumulating h_load. The problem is that
cfq_rq->h_load_next is not protected by any locking and can be updated
by parallel calls to task_h_load. Depending on the compiler, code may be
generated that re-reads cfq_rq->h_load_next after the check for NULL and
then oops when reading se->avg.load_avg. The dissassembly showed that it
was possible to reread h_load_next after the check for NULL.
While this does not appear to be an issue for later compilers, it's still
an accident if the correct code is generated. Full locking in this path
would have high overhead so this patch uses READ_ONCE to read h_load_next
only once and check for NULL before dereferencing. It was confirmed that
there were no further oops after 10 days of testing.
As Peter pointed out, it is also necessary to use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid any
potential problems with store tearing.

"Third more careful attempt for this set of fixes:
- Prevent a 32bit math overflow in the cpufreq code
- Fix a buffer overflow when scanning the cgroup2 cpu.max property
- A set of fixes for the NOHZ scheduler logic to prevent waking up
CPUs even if the capacity of the busy CPUs is sufficient along with
other tweaks optimizing the behaviour for asymmetric systems
(big/little)"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/fair: Skip LLC NOHZ logic for asymmetric systems
sched/fair: Tune down misfit NOHZ kicks
sched/fair: Comment some nohz_balancer_kick() kick conditions
sched/core: Fix buffer overflow in cgroup2 property cpu.max
sched/cpufreq: Fix 32-bit math overflow
The LLC NOHZ condition will become true as soon as >=2 CPUs in a
single LLC domain are busy. On big.LITTLE systems, this translates to
two or more CPUs of a "cluster" (big or LITTLE) being busy.
Issuing a NOHZ kick in these conditions isn't desired for asymmetric
systems, as if the busy CPUs can provide enough compute capacity to
the running tasks, then we can leave the NOHZ CPUs in peace.
Skip the LLC NOHZ condition for asymmetric systems, and rely on
nr_running & capacity checks to trigger NOHZ kicks when the system
actually needs them.

In this commit:
3b1baa6496 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type")
we set rq->misfit_task_load whenever the current running task has a
utilization greater than 80% of rq->cpu_capacity. A non-zero value in
this field enables misfit load balancing.
However, if the task being looked at is already running on a CPU of
highest capacity, there's nothing more we can do for it. We can
currently spot this in update_sd_pick_busiest(), which prevents us
from selecting a sched_group of group_type == group_misfit_task as the
busiest group, but we don't do any of that in nohz_balancer_kick().
This means that we could repeatedly kick NOHZ CPUs when there's no
improvements in terms of load balance to be done.
Introduce a check_misfit_status() helper that returns true iff there
is a CPU in the system that could give more CPU capacity to a rq's
misfit task - IOW, there exists a CPU of higher capacity_orig or the
rq's CPU is severely pressured by rt/IRQ.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

Calling 'nohz_balance_exit_idle(rq)' will always clear 'rq->cpu' from
'nohz.idle_cpus_mask' if it is set. Since it is called at the top of
'nohz_balancer_kick()', 'rq->cpu' will never be set in
'nohz.idle_cpus_mask' if it is accessed in the rest of the function.
Combine the 'sched_domain_span()' with 'nohz.idle_cpus_mask' and drop the
'(i == cpu)' check since 'rq->cpu' will never be iterated over.

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

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

Removing a cfs_rq from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list can break the parent/child
ordering of the list when it will be added back. In order to remove an
empty and fully decayed cfs_rq, we must remove its children too, so they
will be added back in the right order next time.
With a normal decay of PELT, a parent will be empty and fully decayed
if all children are empty and fully decayed too. In such a case, we just
have to ensure that the whole branch will be added when a new task is
enqueued. This is default behavior since :
commit f678331973 ("sched/fair: Fix insertion in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list")
In case of throttling, the PELT of throttled cfs_rq will not be updated
whereas the parent will. This breaks the assumption made above unless we
remove the children of a cfs_rq that is throttled. Then, they will be
added back when unthrottled and a sched_entity will be enqueued.
As throttled cfs_rq are now removed from the list, we can remove the
associated test in update_blocked_averages().

Sargun reported a crash:
"I picked up c40f7d74c7 sched/fair: Fix

and put it on top of 4.19.13. In addition to this, I uninlined
list_add_leaf_cfs_rq for debugging.
This revealed a new bug that we didn't get to because we kept getting
crashes from the previous issue. When we are running with cgroups that
are rapidly changing, with CFS bandwidth control, and in addition
using the cpusets cgroup, we see this crash. Specifically, it seems to
occur with cgroups that are throttled and we change the allowed
cpuset."
The algorithm used to order cfs_rq in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list assumes that
it will walk down to root the 1st time a cfs_rq is used and we will finish
to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a parent that is
already on the list. But this is not always true in presence of throttling.
Because a cfs_rq can be throttled even if it has never been used but other CPUs
of the cgroup have already used all the bandwdith, we are not sure to go down to
the root and add all cfs_rq in the list.
Ensure that all cfs_rq will be added in the list even if they are throttled.

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.

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:

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:

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.

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable numa_group.refcount is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
** Important note for maintainers:
Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts.
The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.
Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.
Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.
For the numa_group.refcount it might make a difference
in following places:
- get_numa_group(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only
guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered
atomic counterpart
- put_numa_group(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

With the following commit:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled. However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case. So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.
Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
"notsupported"; and
2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.
I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem. Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later. So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).
The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.
So fix it by:
a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
bc2d8d262c ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")
and
b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
warning is needed. This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

In case of active balancing, we increase the balance interval to cover
pinned tasks cases not covered by all_pinned logic. Neverthless, the
active migration triggered by asym packing should be treated as the normal
unbalanced case and reset the interval to default value, otherwise active
migration for asym_packing can be easily delayed for hundreds of ms
because of this pinned task detection mechanism.
The same happens to other conditions tested in need_active_balance() like
misfit task and when the capacity of src_cpu is reduced compared to
dst_cpu (see comments in need_active_balance() for details).

When check_asym_packing() is triggered, the imbalance is set to:
busiest_stat.avg_load * busiest_stat.group_capacity / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
But busiest_stat.avg_load equals:
sgs->group_load * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE / sgs->group_capacity
These divisions can generate a rounding that will make imbalance
slightly lower than the weighted load of the cfs_rq. But this is
enough to skip the rq in find_busiest_queue() and prevents asym
migration from happening.
Directly set imbalance to busiest's sgs->group_load to remove the
rounding.

Traditionally hrtimer callbacks were run with IRQs disabled, but with
the introduction of HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT it is possible they run from
SoftIRQ context, which does _NOT_ have IRQs disabled.
Allow for the CFS bandwidth timers (period_timer and slack_timer) to
be ran from SoftIRQ context; this entails removing the assumption that
IRQs are already disabled from the locking.
While mainline doesn't strictly need this, -RT forces all timers not
explicitly marked with MODE_HARD into MODE_SOFT and trips over this.
And marking these timers as MODE_HARD doesn't make sense as they're
not required for RT operation and can potentially be quite expensive.

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

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:

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then

Zhipeng Xie, Xie XiuQi and Sargun Dhillon reported lockups in the
scheduler under high loads, starting at around the v4.18 time frame,
and Zhipeng Xie tracked it down to bugs in the rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list
manipulation.
Do a (manual) revert of:
a9e7f6544b ("sched/fair: Fix O(nr_cgroups) in load balance path")
It turns out that the list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() introduced by this commit
is a surprising property that was not considered in followup commits
such as:
9c2791f936 ("sched/fair: Fix hierarchical order in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list")
As Vincent Guittot explains:
"I think that there is a bigger problem with commit a9e7f6544b and
cfs_rq throttling:
Let take the example of the following topology TG2 --> TG1 --> root:
1) The 1st time a task is enqueued, we will add TG2 cfs_rq then TG1
cfs_rq to leaf_cfs_rq_list and we are sure to do the whole branch in
one path because it has never been used and can't be throttled so
tmp_alone_branch will point to leaf_cfs_rq_list at the end.
2) Then TG1 is throttled
3) and we add TG3 as a new child of TG1.
4) The 1st enqueue of a task on TG3 will add TG3 cfs_rq just before TG1
cfs_rq and tmp_alone_branch will stay on rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
With commit a9e7f6544b, we can del a cfs_rq from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
So if the load of TG1 cfs_rq becomes NULL before step 2) above, TG1
cfs_rq is removed from the list.
Then at step 4), TG3 cfs_rq is added at the beginning of rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list
but tmp_alone_branch still points to TG3 cfs_rq because its throttled
parent can't be enqueued when the lock is released.
tmp_alone_branch doesn't point to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list whereas it should.
So if TG3 cfs_rq is removed or destroyed before tmp_alone_branch
points on another TG cfs_rq, the next TG cfs_rq that will be added,
will be linked outside rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list - which is bad.
In addition, we can break the ordering of the cfs_rq in
rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list but this ordering is used to update and
propagate the update from leaf down to root."
Instead of trying to work through all these cases and trying to reproduce
the very high loads that produced the lockup to begin with, simplify
the code temporarily by reverting a9e7f6544b - which change was clearly
not thought through completely.
This (hopefully) gives us a kernel that doesn't lock up so people
can continue to enjoy their holidays without worrying about regressions. ;-)

...
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.

So remove the comment.
Vincent also points out that the full ordering associated to the
atomic_fetch_andnot() primitive could be relaxed, but this patch
insists on the current more conservative/fully ordered solution:
"Performance" isn't a concern, stay away from "correctness"/subtle
relaxed (re)ordering if possible..., just make sure not to confuse

The following pattern:
var -= min_t(typeof(var), var, val);
is used multiple times in fair.c.
The existing sub_positive() already captures that pattern, but it also
adds an explicit load-store to properly support lockless observations.
In other cases the pattern above is used to update local, and/or not
concurrently accessed, variables.
Let's add a simpler version of sub_positive(), targeted at local variables
updates, which gives the same readability benefits at calling sites,
without enforcing {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() barriers.

The _task_util_est() is mainly used to add/remove the task contribution
to/from the rq's estimated utilization at task enqueue/dequeue time.
In both cases we ensure the UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag is set to keep
consistency between enqueue and dequeue time while still being
transparent to update_load_avg calls which will eventually reset the
flag.
Let's move the flag forcing within _task_util_est() itself so that we
can simplify calling code by hiding that estimated utilization
implementation detail into one of its internal functions.
This will affect also the "public" API task_util_est() but we know that
the flag will (eventually) impact just on the LSB of the estimated
utilization, thus it's certainly acceptable.

A ~10% regression has been reported for UnixBench's execl throughput
test by Aaron Lu and Ye Xiaolong:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/30/765
That test is pretty simple, it does a "recursive" execve() syscall on the
same binary. Starting from the syscall, this sequence is possible:
do_execve()
do_execveat_common()
__do_execve_file()
sched_exec()
select_task_rq_fair() <==| Task already enqueued
find_idlest_cpu()
find_idlest_group()
capacity_spare_wake() <==| Functions not called from
cpu_util_wake() | the wakeup path
which means we can end up calling cpu_util_wake() not only from the
"wakeup path", as its name would suggest. Indeed, the task doing an
execve() syscall is already enqueued on the CPU we want to get the
cpu_util_wake() for.
The estimated utilization for a CPU computed in cpu_util_wake() was
written under the assumption that function can be called only from the
wakeup path. If instead the task is already enqueued, we end up with a
utilization which does not remove the current task's contribution from
the estimated utilization of the CPU.
This will wrongly assume a reduced spare capacity on the current CPU and
increase the chances to migrate the task on execve.
The regression is tracked down to:
commit d519329f72 ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")
because in that patch we turn on by default the UTIL_EST sched feature.
However, the real issue is introduced by:
commit f9be3e5961 ("sched/fair: Use util_est in LB and WU paths")
Let's fix this by ensuring to always discount the task estimated
utilization from the CPU's estimated utilization when the task is also
the current one. The same benchmark of the bug report, executed on a
dual socket 40 CPUs Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz machine,
reports these "Execl Throughput" figures (higher the better):
mainline : 48136.5 lps
mainline+fix : 55376.5 lps
which correspond to a 15% speedup.
Moreover, since {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_wake() are not really only
used from the wakeup path, let's remove this ambiguity by using a better
matching name: {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_without().
Since we are at that, let's also improve the existing documentation.

When load_balance() fails to move some load because of task affinity,
we end up increasing sd->balance_interval to delay the next periodic
balance in the hopes that next time we look, that annoying pinned
task(s) will be gone.
However, idle_balance() pays no attention to sd->balance_interval, yet
it will still lead to an increase in balance_interval in case of
pinned tasks.
If we're going through several newidle balances (e.g. we have a
periodic task), this can lead to a huge increase of the
balance_interval in a very small amount of time.
To prevent that, don't increase the balance interval when going
through a newidle balance.
This is a similar approach to what is done in commit 58b26c4c02
("sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lb"), where we
disregard newidle balance and rely on periodic balance for more stable
results.

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

Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page
should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging
if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently.
Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the
parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than
a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be
load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay
before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private
pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter
as an identifier of new tasks.
With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though
processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed
a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads
are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process.

When lower capacity CPUs are load balancing and considering to pull
something from a higher capacity group, we should not pull tasks from a
CPU with only one task running as this is guaranteed to impede progress
for that task. If there is more than one task running, load balance in
the higher capacity group would have already made any possible moves to
resolve imbalance and we should make better use of system compute
capacity by moving a task if we still have more than one running.

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.

There already are a few conditions in nohz_kick_needed() to ensure
a nohz kick is triggered, but they are not enough for some misfit
task scenarios. Excluding asym packing, those are:
- rq->nr_running >=2: Not relevant here because we are running a
misfit task, it needs to be migrated regardless and potentially through
active balance.
- sds->nr_busy_cpus > 1: If there is only the misfit task being run
on a group of low capacity CPUs, this will be evaluated to False.
- rq->cfs.h_nr_running >=1 && check_cpu_capacity(): Not relevant here,
misfit task needs to be migrated regardless of rt/IRQ pressure
As such, this commit adds an rq->misfit_task_load condition to trigger a
nohz kick.
The idea to kick a nohz balance for misfit tasks originally came from
Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>, and a similar patch was submitted for
the Android Common Kernel - see:

On asymmetric CPU capacity systems load intensive tasks can end up on
CPUs that don't suit their compute demand. In this scenarios 'misfit'
tasks should be migrated to CPUs with higher compute capacity to ensure
better throughput. group_misfit_task indicates this scenario, but tweaks
to the load-balance code are needed to make the migrations happen.
Misfit balancing only makes sense between a source group of lower
per-CPU capacity and destination group of higher compute capacity.
Otherwise, misfit balancing is ignored. group_misfit_task has lowest
priority so any imbalance due to overload is dealt with first.
The modifications are:
1. Only pick a group containing misfit tasks as the busiest group if the
destination group has higher capacity and has spare capacity.
2. When the busiest group is a 'misfit' group, skip the usual average
load and group capacity checks.
3. Set the imbalance for 'misfit' balancing sufficiently high for a task
to be pulled ignoring average load.
4. Pick the CPU with the highest misfit load as the source CPU.
5. If the misfit task is alone on the source CPU, go for active
balancing.

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).

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.

The existing asymmetric CPU capacity code should cause minimal overhead

It can happen that load_balance() finds a busiest group and then a
busiest rq but the calculated imbalance is in fact 0.
In such situation, detach_tasks() returns immediately and lets the
flag LBF_ALL_PINNED set. The busiest CPU is then wrongly assumed to
have pinned tasks and removed from the load balance mask. then, we
redo a load balance without the busiest CPU. This creates wrong load
balance situation and generates wrong task migration.
If the calculated imbalance is 0, it's useless to try to find a
busiest rq as no task will be migrated and we can return immediately.
This situation can happen with heterogeneous system or smp system when
RT tasks are decreasing the capacity of some CPUs.

When a task which previously ran on a given CPU is remotely queued to
wake up on that same CPU, there is a period where the task's state is
TASK_WAKING and its vruntime is not normalized. This is not accounted
for in vruntime_normalized() which will cause an error in the task's
vruntime if it is switched from the fair class during this time.
For example if it is boosted to RT priority via rt_mutex_setprio(),
rq->min_vruntime will not be subtracted from the task's vruntime but
it will be added again when the task returns to the fair class. The
task's vruntime will have been erroneously doubled and the effective
priority of the task will be reduced.
Note this will also lead to inflation of all vruntimes since the doubled
vruntime value will become the rq's min_vruntime when other tasks leave
the rq. This leads to repeated doubling of the vruntime and priority
penalty.
Fix this by recognizing a WAKING task's vruntime as normalized only if
sched_remote_wakeup is true. This indicates a migration, in which case
the vruntime would have been normalized in migrate_task_rq_fair().

update_blocked_averages() is called to periodiccally decay the stalled load
of idle CPUs and to sync all loads before running load balance.
When cfs rq is idle, it trigs a load balance during pick_next_task_fair()
in order to potentially pull tasks and to use this newly idle CPU. This
load balance happens whereas prev task from another class has not been put
and its utilization updated yet. This may lead to wrongly account running
time as idle time for RT or DL classes.
Test that no RT or DL task is running when updating their utilization in
update_blocked_averages().
We still update RT and DL utilization instead of simply skipping them to
make sure that all metrics are synced when used during load balance.

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

task_numa_find_cpu() helps to find the CPU to swap/move the task to.
It's guarded by numa_has_capacity(). However node not having capacity
shouldn't deter a task swapping if it helps NUMA placement.
Further load_too_imbalanced(), which evaluates possibilities of move/swap,
provides similar checks as numa_has_capacity.
Hence remove numa_has_capacity() to enhance possibilities of task
swapping even if load is imbalanced.

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.

Currently preferred node is set to dst_nid which is the last node in the
iteration whose group weight or task weight is greater than the current
node. However it doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the numa capacity
to move. It also doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the best_cpu which
is the CPU/node ideal for node migration.
Lets consider faults on a 4 node system with group weight numbers
in different nodes being in 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 proportion. Consider the task
is running on 3 and 0 is its preferred node but its capacity is full.
Consider nodes 1, 2 and 3 have capacity. Then the task should be
migrated to node 1. Currently the task gets moved to node 2. env.dst_nid
points to the last node whose faults were greater than current node.
Modify to set the preferred node based of best_cpu. Earlier setting
preferred node was skipped if nr_active_nodes is 1. This could result in
the task being moved out of the preferred node to a random node during
regular load balancing.
Also while modifying task_numa_migrate(), use sched_setnuma to set
preferred node. This ensures out numa accounting is correct.

Currently load_too_imbalance() cares about the slope of imbalance.
It doesn't care of the direction of the imbalance.
However this may not work if nodes that are being compared have
dissimilar capacities. Few nodes might have more cores than other nodes
in the system. Also unlike traditional load balance at a NUMA sched
domain, multiple requests to migrate from the same source node to same
destination node may run in parallel. This can cause huge load
imbalance. This is specially true on a larger machines with either large
cores per node or more number of nodes in the system. Hence allow
move/swap only if the imbalance is going to reduce.

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.

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.

When a new task wakes-up for the first time, its initial utilization
is set to half of the spare capacity of its CPU. The current
implementation of post_init_entity_util_avg() uses SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
directly as a capacity reference. As a result, on a big.LITTLE system, a
new task waking up on an idle little CPU will be given ~512 of util_avg,
even if the CPU's capacity is significantly less than that.
Fix this by computing the spare capacity with arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

When a cfs_rq is throttled, parent cfs_rq->nr_running is decreased and
everything happens at cfs_rq level. Currently util_est stays unchanged
in such case and it keeps accounting the utilization of throttled tasks.
This can somewhat make sense as we don't dequeue tasks but only throttled
cfs_rq.
If a task of another group is enqueued/dequeued and root cfs_rq becomes
idle during the dequeue, util_est will be cleared whereas it was
accounting util_est of throttled tasks before. So the behavior of util_est
is not always the same regarding throttled tasks and depends of side
activity. Furthermore, util_est will not be updated when the cfs_rq is
unthrottled as everything happens at cfs_rq level. Main results is that
util_est will stay null whereas we now have running tasks. We have to wait
for the next dequeue/enqueue of the previously throttled tasks to get an
up to date util_est.
Remove the assumption that cfs_rq's estimated utilization of a CPU is 0
if there is no running task so the util_est of a task remains until the
latter is dequeued even if its cfs_rq has been throttled.

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).

When a task is enqueued the estimated utilization of a CPU is updated
to better support the selection of the required frequency.
However, schedutil is (implicitly) updated by update_load_avg() which
always happens before util_est_{en,de}queue(), thus potentially
introducing a latency between estimated utilization updates and
frequency selections.
Let's update util_est at the beginning of enqueue_task_fair(),
which will ensure that all schedutil updates will see the most
updated estimated utilization value for a CPU.

In the following commit:
247f2f6f3c ("sched/core: Don't schedule threads on pre-empted vCPUs")
... we distinguish between idle_cpu() when the vCPU is not running for
scheduling threads.
However, the idle_cpu() function is used in other places for
actually checking whether the state of the CPU is idle or not.
Hence split the use of that function based on the desired return value,
by introducing the available_idle_cpu() function.
This fixes a (slight) regression in that initial vCPU commit, because
some code paths (like the load-balancer) don't care and shouldn't care
if the vCPU is preempted or not, they just want to know if there's any
tasks on the CPU.

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 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-bt.D 48.78 ( 0.00%) 48.22 ( 1.15%)
sys-time-cg.D 25.31 ( 0.00%) 26.63 ( -5.22%)
sys-time-ep.D 1.65 ( 0.00%) 0.62 ( 62.42%)
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.

This reverts commit 7347fc87df.
Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show
a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling
active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent.
The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance
if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled,
the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent.
Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested,
using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new
numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a
revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine
and socket count.
The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby
wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the
appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where
a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did
not apply. This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke
all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that
specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately,
but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However,
the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious,
it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.

By renaming the functions we can get rid of the skip parameter
and have better code redability. It makes zero sense to have
things such as:
rq_clock_skip_update(rq, false)
When the skip request is in fact not going to happen. Ever. Rename
things such that we end up with:
rq_clock_skip_update(rq)
rq_clock_cancel_skipupdate(rq)

The estimated utilization of a task is currently updated every time the
task is dequeued. However, to keep overheads under control, PELT signals
are effectively updated at maximum once every 1ms.
Thus, for really short running tasks, it can happen that their util_avg
value has not been updates since their last enqueue. If such tasks are
also frequently running tasks (e.g. the kind of workload generated by
hackbench) it can also happen that their util_avg is updated only every
few activations.
This means that updating util_est at every dequeue potentially introduces
not necessary overheads and it's also conceptually wrong if the util_avg
signal has never been updated during a task activation.
Let's introduce a throttling mechanism on task's util_est updates
to sync them with util_avg updates. To make the solution memory
efficient, both in terms of space and load/store operations, we encode a
synchronization flag into the LSB of util_est.enqueued.
This makes util_est an even values only metric, which is still
considered good enough for its purpose.
The synchronization bit is (re)set by __update_load_avg_se() once the
PELT signal of a task has been updated during its last activation.
Such a throttling mechanism allows to keep under control util_est
overheads in the wakeup hot path, thus making it a suitable mechanism
which can be enabled also on high-intensity workload systems.
Thus, this now switches on by default the estimation utilization
scheduler feature.

When the scheduler looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value
for a CPU is returned straight away. In certain scenarios this can have
undesired side effects on task placement.
For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, when
a long sleeping big task is enqueued it does not add immediately a
significant contribution to the target CPU.
As a result we generate a race condition where other tasks can be placed
on the same CPU while it is still considered relatively empty.
In order to reduce this kind of race conditions, this patch introduces the
required support to integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization
in the wakeup path, via cpu_util_wake(), as well as in the load-balance
path, via cpu_util() which is used by update_sg_lb_stats().
The estimated utilization of a CPU is defined to be the maximum between
its PELT's utilization and the sum of the estimated utilization (at
previous dequeue time) of all the tasks currently RUNNABLE on that CPU.
This allows to properly represent the spare capacity of a CPU which, for
example, has just got a big task running since a long sleep period.

The util_avg signal computed by PELT is too variable for some use-cases.
For example, a big task waking up after a long sleep period will have its
utilization almost completely decayed. This introduces some latency before
schedutil will be able to pick the best frequency to run a task.
The same issue can affect task placement. Indeed, since the task
utilization is already decayed at wakeup, when the task is enqueued in a
CPU, this can result in a CPU running a big task as being temporarily
represented as being almost empty. This leads to a race condition where
other tasks can be potentially allocated on a CPU which just started to run
a big task which slept for a relatively long period.
Moreover, the PELT utilization of a task can be updated every [ms], thus
making it a continuously changing value for certain longer running
tasks. This means that the instantaneous PELT utilization of a RUNNING
task is not really meaningful to properly support scheduler decisions.
For all these reasons, a more stable signal can do a better job of
representing the expected/estimated utilization of a task/cfs_rq.
Such a signal can be easily created on top of PELT by still using it as
an estimator which produces values to be aggregated on meaningful
events.
This patch adds a simple implementation of util_est, a new signal built on
top of PELT's util_avg where:
util_est(task) = max(task::util_avg, f(task::util_avg@dequeue))
This allows to remember how big a task has been reported by PELT in its
previous activations via f(task::util_avg@dequeue), which is the new
_task_util_est(struct task_struct*) function added by this patch.
If a task should change its behavior and it runs longer in a new
activation, after a certain time its util_est will just track the
original PELT signal (i.e. task::util_avg).
The estimated utilization of cfs_rq is defined only for root ones.
That's because the only sensible consumer of this signal are the
scheduler and schedutil when looking for the overall CPU utilization
due to FAIR tasks.
For this reason, the estimated utilization of a root cfs_rq is simply
defined as:
util_est(cfs_rq) = max(cfs_rq::util_avg, cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued)
where:
cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued = sum(_task_util_est(task))
for each RUNNABLE task on that root cfs_rq
It's worth noting that the estimated utilization is tracked only for
objects of interests, specifically:
- Tasks: to better support tasks placement decisions
- root cfs_rqs: to better support both tasks placement decisions as
well as frequencies selection

Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the

nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into
nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle.

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".

There is a slight degrading in performance but there are slightly fewer
NUMA faults. There is a large drop in the percentage of local faults but
the bulk of migrations for netperf are in small shared libraries so it's
reflecting the fact that automatic NUMA balancing has backed off. This is
a case where despite wake_affine() and automatic NUMA balancing fighting
for placement that there is a marginal benefit to rescheduling to local
data quickly. However, it should be noted that wake_affine() and automatic
NUMA balancing fighting each other constantly is undesirable.
However, the benefit in other cases is large. This is the result for NAS
with the D class sizing on a 4-socket machine:

Note the massive reduction in system CPU usage even though the percentage
of local faults is barely affected. There is a massive reduction in the
number of PTE updates showing that automatic NUMA balancing has backed off.
A critical observation is also that there is a massive reduction in minor
faults which is due to far fewer NUMA hinting faults being trapped.
There were questions on NAS OMP and how it behaved related to threads
being bound to CPUs. First, there are more gains than losses with this
patch applied and a reduction in system CPU usage:

Unfortunately, while performance is improved by the patch, there is still
quite a long way to go before it's equivalent to hard binding.
Other workloads like hackbench, tbench, dbench and schbench are barely
affected. dbench shows a mix of gains and losses depending on the machine
although in general, the results are more stable.

find_idlest_group() compares a local group with each other group to select
the one that is most idle. When comparing groups in different NUMA domains,
a very slight imbalance is enough to select a remote NUMA node even if the
runnable load on both groups is 0 or close to 0. This ignores the cost of
remote accesses entirely and is a problem when selecting the CPU for a
newly forked task to run on. This is problematic when a forking server
is almost guaranteed to run on a remote node incurring numerous remote
accesses and potentially causing automatic NUMA balancing to try migrate
the task back or migrate the data to another node. Similar weirdness is
observed if a basic shell command pipes output to another as each process
in the pipeline is likely to start on different nodes and then get adjusted
later by wake_affine().
This patch adds imbalance to remote domains when considering whether to
select CPUs from remote domains. If the local domain is selected, imbalance
will still be used to try select a CPU from a lower scheduler domain's group
instead of stacking tasks on the same CPU.
A variety of workloads and machines were tested and as expected, there is no
difference on UMA. The difference on NUMA can be dramatic. This is a comparison
of elapsed times running the git regression test suite. It's fork-intensive with
short-lived processes:

That shows a considerable reduction in elapsed times. It's important to
note that automatic NUMA balancing does not affect this load as processes
are too short-lived.
There is also a noticable impact on hackbench such as this example using

It's not a universal win as there are occasions when spreading wide and
quickly is a benefit but it's more of a win than it is a loss. For other
workloads, there is little difference but netperf is interesting. Without
the patch, the server and client starts on different nodes but quickly get
migrated due to wake_affine. Hence, the difference is overall performance
is marginal but detectable:

However, what is very interesting is how automatic NUMA balancing behaves.
Each netperf instance runs long enough for balancing to activate:
NUMA base PTE updates 4620 1473
NUMA huge PMD updates 0 0
NUMA page range updates 4620 1473
NUMA hint faults 4301 1383
NUMA hint local faults 1309 451
NUMA hint local percent 30 32
NUMA pages migrated 1335 491
AutoNUMA cost 21% 6%
There is an unfortunate number of remote faults although tracing indicated
that the vast majority are in shared libraries. However, the tendency to
start tasks on the same node if there is capacity means that there were
far fewer PTE updates and faults incurred overall.

When a task exits, it notifies the parent that it has exited. This is a
sync wakeup and the exiting task may pull the parent towards the wakers
CPU. For simple workloads like using a shell, it was observed that the
shell is pulled across nodes by exiting processes. This is daft as the
parent may be long-lived and properly placed. This patch special cases a
sync wakeup on exit to avoid pulling tasks across nodes. Testing on a range
of workloads and machines showed very little differences in performance
although there was a small 3% boost on some machines running a shellscript
intensive workload (git regression test suite).

wake_affine_weight() will consider migrating a task to, or near, the current
CPU if there is a load imbalance. If the CPUs share LLC then either CPU
is valid as a search-for-idle-sibling target and equally appropriate for
stacking two tasks on one CPU if an idle sibling is unavailable. If they do
not share cache then a cross-node migration potentially impacts locality
so while they are equal from a CPU capacity point of view, they are not
equal in terms of memory locality. In either case, it's more appropriate
to migrate only if there is a difference in their effective load.
This patch modifies wake_affine_weight() to only consider migrating a task
if there is a load imbalance for normal wakeups but will allow potential
stacking if the loads are equal and it's a sync wakeup.
For the most part, the different in performance is marginal. For example,
on a 4-socket server running netperf UDP_STREAM on localhost the differences
are as follows:

The difference in overall performance is marginal but note that most
measurements are less variable. There were similar observations for other
netperf comparisons. hackbench with sockets or threads with processes or
threads showed minor difference with some reduction of migration. tbench
showed only marginal differences that were within the noise. dbench,
regardless of filesystem, showed minor differences all of which are
within noise. Multiple machines, both UMA and NUMA were tested without
any regressions showing up.
The biggest risk with a patch like this is affecting wakeup latencies.
However, the schbench load from Facebook which is very sensitive to wakeup
latency showed a mixed result with mostly improvements in wakeup latency:

The select_idle_sibling() (SIS) rewrite in commit:
10e2f1acd0 ("sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()")
... replaced a domain iteration with a search that broadly speaking
does a wrapped walk of the scheduler domain sharing a last-level-cache.
While this had a number of improvements, one consequence is that two tasks
that share a waker/wakee relationship push each other around a socket. Even
though two tasks may be active, all cores are evenly used. This is great from
a search perspective and spreads a load across individual cores, but it has
adverse consequences for cpufreq. As each CPU has relatively low utilisation,
cpufreq may decide the utilisation is too low to used a higher P-state and
overall computation throughput suffers.
While individual cpufreq and cpuidle drivers may compensate by artifically
boosting P-state (at c0) or avoiding lower C-states (during idle), it does
not help if hardware-based cpufreq (e.g. HWP) is used.
This patch tracks a recently used CPU based on what CPU a task was running
on when it last was a waker a CPU it was recently using when a task is a
wakee. During SIS, the recently used CPU is used as a target if it's still
allowed by the task and is idle.
The benefit may be non-obvious so consider an example of two tasks
communicating back and forth. Task A may be an application doing IO where
task B is a kworker or kthread like journald. Task A may issue IO, wake
B and B wakes up A on completion. With the existing scheme this may look
like the following (potentially different IDs if SMT is in use but similar
principal applies).
A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1)
B (cpu 1) wake A (wakes on cpu 2)
A (cpu 2) wake B (wakes on cpu 3)
etc.
A careful reader may wonder why CPU 0 was not idle when B wakes A the
first time and it's simply due to the fact that A can be rescheduled to
another CPU and the pattern is that prev == target when B tries to wakeup A
and the information about CPU 0 has been lost.
With this patch, the pattern is more likely to be:
A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1)
B (cpu 1) wake A (wakes on cpu 0)
A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1)
etc
i.e. two communicating casts are more likely to use just two cores instead
of all available cores sharing a LLC.
The most dramatic speedup was noticed on dbench using the XFS filesystem on
UMA as clients interact heavily with workqueues in that configuration. Note
that a similar speedup is not observed on ext4 as the wakeup pattern
is different:

The results can be less dramatic on NUMA where automatic balancing interferes
with the test. It's also known that network benchmarks running on localhost
also benefit quite a bit from this patch (roughly 10% on netperf RR for UDP
and TCP depending on the machine). Hackbench also seens small improvements
(6-11% depending on machine and thread count). The facebook schbench was also
tested but in most cases showed little or no different to wakeup latencies.

wake_affine_idle() prefers to move a task to the current CPU if the
wakeup is due to an interrupt. The expectation is that the interrupt
data is cache hot and relevant to the waking task as well as avoiding
a search. However, there is no way to determine if there was cache hot
data on the previous CPU that may exceed the interrupt data. Furthermore,
round-robin delivery of interrupts can migrate tasks around a socket where
each CPU is under-utilised. This can interact badly with cpufreq which
makes decisions based on per-cpu data. It has been observed on machines
with HWP that p-states are not boosted to their maximum levels even though
the workload is latency and throughput sensitive.
This patch uses the previous CPU for the task if it's idle and cache-affine
with the current CPU even if the current CPU is idle due to the wakup
being related to the interrupt. This reduces migrations at the cost of
the interrupt data not being cache hot when the task wakes.
A variety of workloads were tested on various machines and no adverse
impact was noticed that was outside noise. dbench on ext4 on UMA showed
roughly 10% reduction in the number of CPU migrations and it is a case
where interrupts are frequent for IO competions. In most cases, the
difference in performance is quite small but variability is often
reduced. For example, this is the result for pgbench running on a UMA
machine with different numbers of clients.

If waking from an idle CPU due to an interrupt then it's possible that
the waker task will be pulled to wake on the current CPU. Unfortunately,
depending on the type of interrupt and IRQ configuration, there may not
be a strong relationship between the CPU an interrupt was delivered on
and the CPU a task was running on. For example, the interrupts could all
be delivered to CPUs on one particular node due to the machine topology
or IRQ affinity configuration. Another example is an interrupt for an IO
completion which can be delivered to any CPU where there is no guarantee
the data is either cache hot or even local.
This patch was motivated by the observation that an IO workload was
being pulled cross-node on a frequent basis when IO completed. From a
wakeup latency perspective, it's still useful to know that an idle CPU is
immediately available for use but lets only consider an automatic migration
if the CPUs share cache to limit damage due to NUMA migrations. Migrations
may still occur if wake_affine_weight determines it's appropriate.
These are the throughput results for dbench running on ext4 comparing
4.15-rc3 and this patch on a 2-socket machine where interrupts due to IO
completions can happen on any CPU.

Note the small increase in throughput for low thread counts but also
note that the standard deviation for each sample during the test run is
lower. The throughput figures for dbench can be misleading so the benchmark
is actually modified to time the latency of the processing of one load
file with many samples taken. The difference in latency is

When heavily loaded (e.g. 99.50th-qrtle-39 indicates 39 threads), there
are small gains in many cases. Otherwise it depends on the quartile used
where it can be bad -- e.g. 75.00th-qrtle-2. However, even these results
are probably a co-incidence. For this workload, much depends on what node
the threads get placed on and their relative locality and not wakeups from
interrupt context. A larger component on how it behaves would be automatic
NUMA balancing where a fault incurred to measure locality would be a much
larger contributer to latency than the wakeup path.
This is the results from an almost identical machine that happened to run
the same test. They only differ in terms of storage which is irrelevant
for this test.

Despite being nearly identical, it showed a variety of major gains so
I'm not convinced that heavy emphasis should be placed on this particular
workload in terms of evaluating this particular patch. Further evidence of
this is the fact that testing on a UMA machine showed small gains/losses
even though the patch should be a no-op on UMA.

find_idlest_group_cpu() goes through CPUs of a group previous selected by
find_idlest_group(). find_idlest_group() returns NULL if the local group is the
selected one and doesn't execute find_idlest_group_cpu if the group to which
'cpu' belongs to is chosen. So we're always guaranteed to call
find_idlest_group_cpu() with a group to which 'cpu' is non-local.
This makes one of the conditions in find_idlest_group_cpu() an impossible one,
which we can get rid off.

capacity_spare_wake() in the slow path influences choice of idlest groups,
as we search for groups with maximum spare capacity. In scenarios where
RT pressure is high, a sub optimal group can be chosen and hurt
performance of the task being woken up.
Fix this by using capacity_of() instead of capacity_orig_of() in capacity_spare_wake().
Tests results from improvements with this change are below. More tests
were also done by myself and Matt Fleming to ensure no degradation in
different benchmarks.
1) Rohit ran barrier.c test (details below) with following improvements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was Rohit's original use case for a patch he posted at [1] however
from his recent tests he showed my patch can replace his slow path
changes [1] and there's no need to selectively scan/skip CPUs in
find_idlest_group_cpu in the slow path to get the improvement he sees.
barrier.c (open_mp code) as a micro-benchmark. It does a number of
iterations and barrier sync at the end of each for loop.
Here barrier,c is running in along with ping on CPU 0 and 1 as:
'ping -l 10000 -q -s 10 -f hostX'
barrier.c can be found at:

Following are the results for the iterations per second with this
micro-benchmark (higher is better), on a 44 core, 2 socket 88 Threads

Utilization and capacity are tracked as 'unsigned long', however some
functions using them return an 'int' which is ultimately assigned back to
'unsigned long' variables.
Since there is not scope on using a different and signed type,
consolidate the signature of functions returning utilization to always
use the native type.
This change improves code consistency, and it also benefits
code paths where utilizations should be clamped by avoiding
further type conversions or ugly type casts.

Unlike running, the runnable part can't be directly propagated through
the hierarchy when we migrate a task. The main reason is that runnable
time can be shared with other sched_entities that stay on the rq and
this runnable time will also remain on prev cfs_rq and must not be
removed.
Instead, we can estimate what should be the new runnable of the prev
cfs_rq and check that this estimation stay in a possible range. The
prop_runnable_sum is a good estimation when adding runnable_sum but
fails most often when we remove it. Instead, we could use the formula
below instead:
gcfs_rq's runnable_sum = gcfs_rq->avg.load_sum / gcfs_rq->load.weight
which assumes that tasks are equally runnable which is not true but
easy to compute.
Beside these estimates, we have several simple rules that help us to filter
out wrong ones:
- ge->avg.runnable_sum <= than LOAD_AVG_MAX
- ge->avg.runnable_sum >= ge->avg.running_sum (ge->avg.util_sum << LOAD_AVG_MAX)
- ge->avg.runnable_sum can't increase when we detach a task
The effect of these fixes is better cgroups balancing.

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

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation
features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL
without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler
isolation without NOHZ_FULL.
So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of
overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.

find_idlest_group() returns NULL when the local group is idlest. The
caller then continues the find_idlest_group() search at a lower level
of the current CPU's sched_domain hierarchy. find_idlest_group_cpu() is
not consulted and, crucially, @new_cpu is not updated. This means the
search is pointless and we return @prev_cpu from select_task_rq_fair().
This is fixed by initialising @new_cpu to @cpu instead of @prev_cpu.

When 'p' is not allowed on any of the CPUs in the sched_domain, we
currently return NULL from find_idlest_group(), and pointlessly
continue the search on lower sched_domain levels (where 'p' is also not
allowed) before returning prev_cpu regardless (as we have not updated
new_cpu).
Add an explicit check for this case, and add a comment to
find_idlest_group(). Now when find_idlest_group() returns NULL, it always
means that the local group is allowed and idlest.

The "goto force_balance" here is intended to mitigate the fact that
avg_load calculations can result in bad placement decisions when
priority is asymmetrical.
The original commit that adds it:
fab476228b ("sched: Force balancing on newidle balance if local group has capacity")
explains:
Under certain situations, such as a niced down task (i.e. nice =
-15) in the presence of nr_cpus NICE0 tasks, the niced task lands
on a sched group and kicks away other tasks because of its large
weight. This leads to sub-optimal utilization of the
machine. Even though the sched group has capacity, it does not
pull tasks because sds.this_load >> sds.max_load, and f_b_g()
returns NULL.
A similar but inverted issue also affects ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU
capacity) systems - consider 8 always-running, same-priority tasks on a
system with 4 "big" and 4 "little" CPUs. Suppose that 5 of them end up on
the "big" CPUs (which will be represented by one sched_group in the DIE
sched_domain) and 3 on the "little" (the other sched_group in DIE), leaving
one CPU unused. Because the "big" group has a higher group_capacity its
avg_load may not present an imbalance that would cause migrating a
task to the idle "little".
The force_balance case here solves the problem but currently only for
CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balances, which in theory might never happen on the
unused CPU. Including CPU_IDLE in the force_balance case means
there's an upper bound on the time before we can attempt to solve the
underutilization: after DIE's sd->balance_interval has passed the
next nohz balance kick will help us out.

We use task_util() in find_idlest_group() via capacity_spare_wake().
This task_util() updated in wake_cap(). However wake_cap() is not the
only reason for ending up in find_idlest_group() - we could have been sent
there by wake_wide(). So explicitly sync the task util with prev_cpu
when we are about to head to find_idlest_group().
We could simply do this at the beginning of
select_task_rq_fair() (i.e. irrespective of whether we're heading to
select_idle_sibling() or find_idlest_group() & co), but I didn't want to
slow down the select_idle_sibling() path more than necessary.
Don't do this during fork balancing, we won't need the task_util and
we'd just clobber the last_update_time, which is supposed to be 0.

As a first step this patch makes cfs_tasks list as MRU one.
It means, that when a next task is picked to run on physical
CPU it is moved to the front of the list.
Therefore, the cfs_tasks list is more or less sorted (except
woken tasks) starting from recently given CPU time tasks toward
tasks with max wait time in a run-queue, i.e. MRU list.
Second, as part of the load balance operation, this approach
starts detach_tasks()/detach_one_task() from the tail of the
queue instead of the head, giving some advantages:
- tends to pick a task with highest wait time;
- tasks located in the tail are less likely cache-hot,
therefore the can_migrate_task() decision is higher.
hackbench illustrates slightly better performance. For example
doing 1000 samples and 40 groups on i5-3320M CPU, it shows below

This patch takes out all the shiny wake_affine() stuff and goes back to
utter basics. Between the two CPUs involved with the wakeup (the CPU
doing the wakeup and the CPU we ran on previously) pick the CPU we can
run on _now_.
This restores much of the regressions against the older kernels,
but leaves some ground in the overloaded case. The default-enabled
WA_WEIGHT (which will be introduced in the next patch) is an attempt
to address the overloaded situation.

Our runnable_weight currently looks like this
runnable_weight = shares * runnable_load_avg / load_avg
The goal is to scale the runnable weight for the group based on its runnable to
load_avg ratio. The problem with this is it biases us towards tasks that never
go to sleep. Tasks that go to sleep are going to have their runnable_load_avg
decayed pretty hard, which will drastically reduce the runnable weight of groups
with interactive tasks. To solve this imbalance we tweak this slightly, so in
the ideal case it is still the above, but in the interactive case it is
runnable_weight = shares * runnable_weight / load_weight
which will make the weight distribution fairer between interactive and
non-interactive groups.

The problem with the overestimate is that it will subtract too big a
value from the load_sum, thereby pushing it down further than it ought
to go. Since runnable_load_avg is not subject to a similar 'force',
this results in the occasional 'runnable_load > load' situation.

The PELT _sum values are a saw-tooth function, dropping on the decay
edge and then growing back up again during the window.
When these window-edges are not aligned between cfs_rq and se, we can
have the situation where, for example, on dequeue, the se decays
first.
Its _sum values will be small(er), while the cfs_rq _sum values will
still be on their way up. Because of this, the subtraction:
cfs_rq->avg._sum -= se->avg._sum will result in a positive value. This
will then, once the cfs_rq reaches an edge, translate into its _avg
value jumping up.
This is especially visible with the runnable_load bits, since they get
added/subtracted a lot.

Vincent wondered why his self migrating task had a roughly 50% dip in
load_avg when landing on the new CPU. This is because we uncondionally
take the asynchronous detatch_entity route, which can lead to the
attach on the new CPU still seeing the old CPU's contribution to
tg->load_avg, effectively halving the new CPU's shares.
While in general this is something we have to live with, there is the
special case of runnable migration where we can do better.

The load balancer uses runnable_load_avg as load indicator. For
!cgroup this is:
runnable_load_avg = \Sum se->avg.load_avg ; where se->on_rq
That is, a direct sum of all runnable tasks on that runqueue. As
opposed to load_avg, which is a sum of all tasks on the runqueue,
which includes a blocked component.
However, in the cgroup case, this comes apart since the group entities
are always runnable, even if most of their constituent entities are
blocked.
Therefore introduce a runnable_weight which for task entities is the
same as the regular weight, but for group entities is a fraction of
the entity weight and represents the runnable part of the group
runqueue.
Then propagate this load through the PELT hierarchy to arrive at an
effective runnable load avgerage -- which we should not confuse with
the canonical runnable load average.

When an entity migrates in (or out) of a runqueue, we need to add (or
remove) its contribution from the entire PELT hierarchy, because even
non-runnable entities are included in the load average sums.
In order to do this we have some propagation logic that updates the
PELT tree, however the way it 'propagates' the runnable (or load)
change is (more or less):
tg->weight * grq->avg.load_avg
ge->avg.load_avg = ------------------------------
tg->load_avg
But that is the expression for ge->weight, and per the definition of
load_avg:
ge->avg.load_avg := ge->weight * ge->avg.runnable_avg
That destroys the runnable_avg (by setting it to 1) we wanted to
propagate.
Instead directly propagate runnable_sum.

Since on wakeup migration we don't hold the rq->lock for the old CPU
we cannot update its state. Instead we add the removed 'load' to an
atomic variable and have the next update on that CPU collect and
process it.
Currently we have 2 atomic variables; which already have the issue
that they can be read out-of-sync. Also, two atomic ops on a single
cacheline is already more expensive than an uncontended lock.
Since we want to add more, convert the thing over to an explicit
cacheline with a lock in.

When a (group) entity changes it's weight we should instantly change
its load_avg and propagate that change into the sums it is part of.
Because we use these values to predict future behaviour and are not
interested in its historical value.
Without this change, the change in load would need to propagate
through the average, by which time it could again have changed etc..
always chasing itself.
With this change, the cfs_rq load_avg sum will more accurately reflect
the current runnable and expected return of blocked load.

Move the entity migrate handling from enqueue_entity_load_avg() to
update_load_avg(). This has two benefits:
- {en,de}queue_entity_load_avg() will become purely about managing
runnable_load
- we can avoid a double update_tg_load_avg() and reduce pressure on
the global tg->shares cacheline
The reason we do this is so that we can change update_cfs_shares() to
change both weight and (future) runnable_weight. For this to work we
need to have the cfs_rq averages up-to-date (which means having done
the attach), but we need the cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg to not yet
include the se's contribution (since se->on_rq == 0).

Remove the load from the load_sum for sched_entities, basically
turning load_sum into runnable_sum. This prepares for better
reweighting of group entities.
Since we now have different rules for computing load_avg, split
___update_load_avg() into two parts, ___update_load_sum() and
___update_load_avg().
So for se:
___update_load_sum(.weight = 1)
___upate_load_avg(.weight = se->load.weight)
and for cfs_rq:
___update_load_sum(.weight = cfs_rq->load.weight)
___upate_load_avg(.weight = 1)
Since the primary consumable is load_avg, most things will not be
affected. Only those few sites that initialize/modify load_sum need
attention.

Vincent reported that when running in a cgroup, his root
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg dropped to 0 on task idle.
This is because reweight_entity() will now immediately propagate the
weight change of the group entity to its cfs_rq, and as it happens,
our approxmation (5) for calc_cfs_shares() results in 0 when the group
is idle.
Avoid this by using the correct (3) as a lower bound on (5). This way
the empty cgroup will slowly decay instead of instantly drop to 0.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:

sched/debug: Add debugfs knob for "sched_debug"
sched/core: WARN() when migrating to an offline CPU
sched/fair: Plug hole between hotplug and active_load_balance()
sched/fair: Avoid newidle balance for !active CPUs
The load balancer applies cpu_active_mask to whatever sched_domains it
finds, however in the case of active_balance there is a hole between
setting rq->{active_balance,push_cpu} and running the stop_machine
work doing the actual migration.
The @push_cpu can go offline in this window, which would result in us
moving a task onto a dead cpu, which is a fairly bad thing.
Double check the active mask before the stop work does the migration.

On CPU hot unplug, when parking the last kthread we'll try and
schedule into idle to kill the CPU. This last schedule can (and does)
trigger newidle balance because at this point the sched domains are
still up because of commit:

now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
_DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
related to it are updated too.
The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates,
generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
modifications elsewhere.
Specifics:
- Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from
intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method
(based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode
(Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take
cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil
governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar).
- Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the
cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers
cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar).
- Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek
cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang).
- Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create
cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP)
DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh
Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley
Xiao).
- Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the
obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann).
- Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem
Nguyen).
- Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core
(Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva,
Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla).
- Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make
it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes).
- Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages
to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more
suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle
constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael
Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of
items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to
suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki).
- Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target
system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian
Fainelli).
- Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86
in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name
(Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring).
- Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues
(Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring).
- Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework
and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring).
- Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance
points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz).
- Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling
(AVS) driver (David Wu).
- Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some
platforms (Alex Shi).
- Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling
utility (Todd Brandt).
- Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit
Bhargava)"

3fed382b46 ("sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine()")
Rik changed wake_affine to consider NUMA information when balancing
between LLC domains.
There are a number of problems here which this patch tries to address:
- LLC < NODE; in this case we'd use the wrong information to balance
- !NUMA_BALANCING: in this case, the new code doesn't do any
balancing at all
- re-computes the NUMA data for every wakeup, this can mean iterating
up to 64 CPUs for every wakeup.
- default affine wakeups inside a cache
We address these by saving the load/capacity values for each
sched_domain during regular load-balance and using these values in
wake_affine_llc(). The obvious down-side to using cached values is
that they can be too old and poorly reflect reality.
But this way we can use LLC wide information and thus not rely on
assuming LLC matches NODE. We also don't rely on NUMA_BALANCING nor do
we have to aggegate two nodes (or even cache domains) worth of CPUs
for each wakeup.

Running 80 tasks in the same group, or as threads of the same process,
results in the memory getting scanned 80x as fast as it would be if a
single task was using the memory.
This really hurts some workloads.
Scale the scan period by the number of tasks in the numa group, and
the shared / private ratio, so the average rate at which memory in
the group is scanned corresponds roughly to the rate at which a single
task would scan its memory.

The comment above update_task_scan_period() says the scan period should
be increased (scanning slows down) if the majority of memory accesses
are on the local node, or if the majority of the page accesses are
shared with other tasks.
However, with the current code, all a high ratio of shared accesses
does is slow down the rate at which scanning is made faster.
This patch changes things so either lots of shared accesses or
lots of local accesses will slow down scanning, and numa scanning
is sped up only when there are lots of private faults on remote
memory pages.

The running state is a subset of runnable state which means that running
can't be set if runnable (weight) is cleared. There are corner cases
where the current sched_entity has been already dequeued but cfs_rq->curr
has not been updated yet and still points to the dequeued sched_entity.
If ___update_load_avg() is called at that time, weight will be 0 and running
will be set which is not possible.
This case happens during pick_next_task_fair() when a cfs_rq becomes idles.
The current sched_entity has been dequeued so se->on_rq is cleared and
cfs_rq->weight is null. But cfs_rq->curr still points to se (it will be
cleared when picking the idle thread). Because the cfs_rq becomes idle,
idle_balance() is called and ends up to call update_blocked_averages()
with these wrong running and runnable states.
Add a test in ___update_load_avg() to correct the running state in this case.

weighted_cpuload() uses the cpu number passed to it get pointer to the
runqueue. Almost all callers of weighted_cpuload() already have the rq
pointer with them and can send that directly to weighted_cpuload(). In
some cases the callers actually get the CPU number by doing cpu_of(rq).
It would be simpler to pass rq to weighted_cpuload().

For SMP systems, update_load_avg() calls the cpufreq update util
handlers only for the top level cfs_rq (i.e. rq->cfs).
But that is not the case for UP systems. update_load_avg() calls util
handler for any cfs_rq for which it is called. This would result in way
too many calls from the scheduler to the cpufreq governors when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled.
Reduce the frequency of these calls by copying the behavior from the SMP
case, i.e. Only call util handlers for the top level cfs_rq.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.
One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.
This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.
The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.
The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:
- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
next tick.
Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.

If load_balance() fails to migrate any tasks because all tasks were
affined, load_balance() removes the source CPU from consideration and
attempts to redo and balance among the new subset of CPUs.
There is a bug in this code path where the algorithm considers all active
CPUs in the system (minus the source that was just masked out). This is
not valid for two reasons: some active CPUs may not be in the current
scheduling domain and one of the active CPUs is dst_cpu. These CPUs should
not be considered, as we cannot pull load from them.
Instead of failing out of load_balance(), we may end up redoing the search
with no valid CPUs and incorrectly concluding the domain is balanced.
Additionally, if the group_imbalance flag was just set, it may also be
incorrectly unset, thus the flag will not be seen by other CPUs in future
load_balance() runs as that algorithm intends.
Fix the check by removing CPUs not in the current domain and the dst_cpu
from considertation, thus limiting the evaluation to valid remaining CPUs
from which load might be migrated.

Since select_idle_sibling() can place a task anywhere on a socket,
comparing loads between individual CPU cores makes no real sense
for deciding whether to do an affine wakeup across sockets, either.
Instead, compare the load between the sockets in a similar way the

Several tests in the NAS benchmark seem to run a lot slower with
NUMA balancing enabled, than with NUMA balancing disabled. The
slower run time corresponds with increased idle time.
Overriding the final test of migrate_degrades_locality (but still
doing the other NUMA tests first) seems to improve performance
of those benchmarks.

Although idle load balancing obviously only concerns idle CPUs, it can
be a disturbance on a busy nohz_full CPU. Indeed a CPU can only get rid
of an idle load balancing duty once a tick fires while it runs a task
and this can take a while on a nohz_full CPU.
We could fix that and escape the idle load balancing duty from the very
idle exit path but that would bring unecessary overhead. Lets just not
bother and leave that job to housekeeping CPUs (those outside nohz_full
range). The nohz_full CPUs simply don't want any disturbance.
