When picking a CPU on task wakeup, select_idle_smt() has to take
into account the scheduling domain of @target. This is because the
"isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs from the domain to
isolate them from other SMT siblings.
This fix checks if the candidate CPU is in the target scheduling domain.
Commit:
df3cb4ea1f ("sched/fair: Fix wrong cpu selecting from isolated domain")
... originally introduced this fix by adding the check of the scheduling
domain in the loop.
However, commit:
3e6efe87cd ("sched/fair: Remove redundant check in select_idle_smt()")
... accidentally removed the check. Bring it back.

Use existing helper function cpu_util_irq() instead of open-coding
access to ->avg_irq.
During review it was noted that ->avg_irq could be updated by a
different CPU than the one which is trying to access it.
->avg_irq is updated with WRITE_ONCE(), use READ_ONCE to access it
in order to avoid any compiler optimizations.

There are helper functions called cpu_util_dl() and cpu_util_rt() which give
the average utilization of DL and RT respectively. But there are a few
places in code where access to these variables is open-coded.
Instead use the helper function so that code becomes simpler and easier to
maintain later on.

When a CPU is taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups'
load may remain and will negatively impact the calculation of the share of
the online CPUs.
To fix this bug, clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups'
load and skip its contribution while it is inactive.
Here's the reproducer of the anomaly, by Imran Khan:
"So far I have encountered only one rather lengthy way of reproducing this issue,
which is as follows:
1. Take a KVM guest (booted with 4 CPUs and can be scaled up to 124 CPUs) and
create 2 custom cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/
cpu/test_group_2
2. Assign a CPU intensive workload to each of these cgroups and start the
workload.
For my tests I am using following app:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long count, i, val;
if (argc != 2) {
printf("usage: ./a.out <number of random nums to generate> \n");
return 0;
}
count = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10);
printf("Generating %lu random numbers \n", count);
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
val = rand();
val = val % 2;
//usleep(1);
}
printf("Generated %lu random numbers \n", count);
return 0;
}
Also since the system is booted with 4 CPUs, in order to completely load the
system I am also launching 4 instances of same test app under:
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/
3. We can see that both of the cgroups get similar CPU time:
# systemd-cgtop --depth 1
Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s
/ 659 - 5.5G - -

4. Now move systemd-udevd to one of these test groups, say test_group_1, and
perform scale up to 124 CPUs followed by scale down back to 4 CPUs from the
host side.
5. Run the same workload i.e 4 instances of CPU hogger under /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
and one instance of CPU hogger each in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and
/sys/fs/cgroup/test_group_2.
It can be seen that test_group_1 (the one where systemd-udevd was moved) is getting
much less CPU time than the test_group_2, even though at this point of time both of
these groups have only CPU hogger running:

From sched_debug data it can be seen that in bad case the load.weight of per-CPU
sched entities corresponding to test_group_1 has reduced significantly and
also load_avg of test_group_1 remains much higher than that of test_group_2,
even though systemd-udevd stopped running long time back and at this point of
time both cgroups just have the CPU hogger app as running entity."

Running N CPU-bound tasks on an N CPUs platform:
- with asymmetric CPU capacity
- not being a DynamIq system (i.e. having a PKG level sched domain
without the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set)
.. might result in a task placement where two tasks run on a big CPU
and none on a little CPU. This placement could be more optimal by
using all CPUs.
Testing platform:
Juno-r2:
- 2 big CPUs (1-2), maximum capacity of 1024
- 4 little CPUs (0,3-5), maximum capacity of 383
Testing workload ([1]):
Spawn 6 CPU-bound tasks. During the first 100ms (step 1), each tasks
is affine to a CPU, except for:
- one little CPU which is left idle.
- one big CPU which has 2 tasks affine.
After the 100ms (step 2), remove the cpumask affinity.
Behavior before the patch:
During step 2, the load balancer running from the idle CPU tags sched
domains as:
- little CPUs: 'group_has_spare'. Cf. group_has_capacity() and
group_is_overloaded(), 3 CPU-bound tasks run on a 4 CPUs
sched-domain, and the idle CPU provides enough spare capacity
regarding the imbalance_pct
- big CPUs: 'group_overloaded'. Indeed, 3 tasks run on a 2 CPUs
sched-domain, so the following path is used:
group_is_overloaded()
\-if (sgs->sum_nr_running <= sgs->group_weight) return true;
The following path which would change the migration type to
'migrate_task' is not taken:
calculate_imbalance()
\-if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->imbalance == 0)
as the local group has some spare capacity, so the imbalance
is not 0.
The migration type requested is 'migrate_util' and the busiest
runqueue is the big CPU's runqueue having 2 tasks (each having a
utilization of 512). The idle little CPU cannot pull one of these
task as its capacity is too small for the task. The following path
is used:
detach_tasks()
\-case migrate_util:
\-if (util > env->imbalance) goto next;
After the patch:
As the number of failed balancing attempts grows (with
'nr_balance_failed'), progressively make it easier to migrate
a big task to the idling little CPU. A similar mechanism is
used for the 'migrate_load' migration type.
Improvement:
Running the testing workload [1] with the step 2 representing
a ~10s load for a big CPU:
Before patch: ~19.3s
After patch: ~18s (-6.7%)

The current method to take into account uclamp hints when estimating the
target frequency can end in a situation where the selected target
frequency is finally higher than uclamp hints, whereas there are no real
needs. Such cases mainly happen because we are currently mixing the
traditional scheduler utilization signal with the uclamp performance
hints. By adding these 2 metrics, we loose an important information when
it comes to select the target frequency, and we have to make some
assumptions which can't fit all cases.
Rework the interface between the scheduler and schedutil governor in order
to propagate all information down to the cpufreq governor.
effective_cpu_util() interface changes and now returns the actual
utilization of the CPU with 2 optional inputs:
- The minimum performance for this CPU; typically the capacity to handle
the deadline task and the interrupt pressure. But also uclamp_min
request when available.
- The maximum targeting performance for this CPU which reflects the
maximum level that we would like to not exceed. By default it will be
the CPU capacity but can be reduced because of some performance hints
set with uclamp. The value can be lower than actual utilization and/or
min performance level.
A new sugov_effective_cpu_perf() interface is also available to compute
the final performance level that is targeted for the CPU, after applying
some cpufreq headroom and taking into account all inputs.
With these 2 functions, schedutil is now able to decide when it must go
above uclamp hints. It now also has a generic way to get the min
performance level.
The dependency between energy model and cpufreq governor and its headroom
policy doesn't exist anymore.
eenv_pd_max_util() asks schedutil for the targeted performance after
applying the impact of the waking task.

Lukasz Luba reported that a thread's util_est can significantly decrease as
a result of sharing the CPU with other threads.
The use case can be easily reproduced with a periodic task TA that runs 1ms
and sleeps 100us. When the task is alone on the CPU, its max utilization and
its util_est is around 888. If another similar task starts to run on the
same CPU, TA will have to share the CPU runtime and its maximum utilization
will decrease around half the CPU capacity (512) then TA's util_est will
follow this new maximum trend which is only the result of sharing the CPU
with others tasks.
Such situation can be detected with runnable_avg wich is close or
equal to util_avg when TA is alone, but increases above util_avg when TA
shares the CPU with other threads and wait on the runqueue.
[ We prefer an util_est that overestimate rather than under estimate
because in 1st case we will not provide enough performance to the

Low priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) can suffer starvation if tasks
with higher priority (e.g., SCHED_FIFO) monopolize CPU(s).
RT Throttling has been introduced a while ago as a (mostly debug)
countermeasure one can utilize to reserve some CPU time for low priority
tasks (usually background type of work, e.g. workqueues, timers, etc.).
It however has its own problems (see documentation) and the undesired
effect of unconditionally throttling FIFO tasks even when no lower
priority activity needs to run (there are mechanisms to fix this issue
as well, but, again, with their own problems).
Introduce deadline servers to service low priority tasks needs under
starvation conditions. Deadline servers are built extending SCHED_DEADLINE
implementation to allow 2-level scheduling (a sched_deadline entity
becomes a container for lower priority scheduling entities).

Now that trace_sched_stat_runtime() no longer takes a vruntime

Tracing the runtime delta makes sense, observer can sum over time.
Tracing the absolute vruntime makes less sense, inconsistent:
absolute-vs-delta, but also vruntime delta can be computed from
runtime delta.
Removing the vruntime thing also makes the two tracepoint sites
identical, allowing to unify the code in a later patch.

Since the RB-tree is now sorted by deadline, let's first try the
leftmost entity which has the earliest virtual deadline. I've done
some benchmarks to see its effectiveness.
All the benchmarks are done inside a normal cpu cgroup in a clean
environment with cpu turbo disabled, on a dual-CPU Intel Xeon(R)
Platinum 8260 with 2 NUMA nodes each of which has 24C/48T.
hackbench: process/thread + pipe/socket + 1/2/4/8 groups
netperf: TCP/UDP + STREAM/RR + 24/48/72/96/192 threads
tbench: loopback 24/48/72/96/192 threads

Since commit fc137c0dda ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic")
NUMA Balancing allows updating PTEs to trap NUMA hinting faults if the
task had previously accessed VMA. However unconditional scan of VMAs are
allowed during initial phase of VMA creation until process's
mm numa_scan_seq reaches 2 even though current task had not accessed VMA.
Rationale:
- Without initial scan subsequent PTE update may never happen.
- Give fair opportunity to all the VMAs to be scanned and subsequently
understand the access pattern of all the VMAs.
But it has a corner case where, if a VMA is created after some time,
process's mm numa_scan_seq could be already greater than 2.
For e.g., values of mm numa_scan_seq when VMAs are created by running
mmtest autonuma benchmark briefly looks like:
start_seq=0 : 459
start_seq=2 : 138
start_seq=3 : 144
start_seq=4 : 8
start_seq=8 : 1
start_seq=9 : 1
This results in no unconditional PTE updates for those VMAs created after
some time.
Fix:
- Note down the initial value of mm numa_scan_seq in per VMA start_seq.
- Allow unconditional scan till start_seq + 2.
Result:
SUT: AMD EPYC Milan with 2 NUMA nodes 256 cpus.
base kernel: upstream 6.6-rc6 with Mels patches [1] applied.

should_we_balance is called for the decision to do load-balancing.
When sched ticks invoke this function, only one CPU should return
true. However, in the current code, two CPUs can return true. The
following situation, where b means busy and i means idle, is an
example, because CPU 0 and CPU 2 return true.
[0, 1] [2, 3]
b b i b
This fix checks if there exists an idle CPU with busy sibling(s)
after looking for a CPU on an idle core. If some idle CPUs with busy
siblings are found, just the first one should do load-balancing.

vruntime of the (on_rq && !0-lag) entity needs to be adjusted when
it gets re-weighted, and the calculations can be simplified based
on the fact that re-weight won't change the w-average of all the
entities. Please check the proofs in comments.
But adjusting vruntime can also cause position change in RB-tree
hence require re-queue to fix up which might be costly. This might
be avoided by deferring adjustment to the time the entity actually
leaves tree (dequeue/pick), but that will negatively affect task
selection and probably not good enough either.

Chen Yu reports a hackbench regression of cluster wakeup when
hackbench threads equal to the CPU number [1]. Analysis shows
it's because we wake up more on the target CPU even if the
prev_cpu is a good wakeup candidate and leads to the decrease
of the CPU utilization.
Generally if the task's prev_cpu is idle we'll wake up the task
on it without scanning. On cluster machines we'll try to wake up
the task in the same cluster of the target for better cache
affinity, so if the prev_cpu is idle but not sharing the same
cluster with the target we'll still try to find an idle CPU within
the cluster. This will improve the performance at low loads on
cluster machines. But in the issue above, if the prev_cpu is idle
but not in the cluster with the target CPU, we'll try to scan an
idle one in the cluster. But since the system is busy, we're
likely to fail the scanning and use target instead, even if
the prev_cpu is idle. Then leads to the regression.
This patch solves this in 2 steps:

For platforms having clusters like Kunpeng920, CPUs within the same cluster
have lower latency when synchronizing and accessing shared resources like
cache. Thus, this patch tries to find an idle cpu within the cluster of the
target CPU before scanning the whole LLC to gain lower latency. This
will be implemented in 2 steps in select_idle_sibling():
1. When the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu are good wakeup candidates, use them
if they're sharing cluster with the target CPU. Otherwise trying to
scan for an idle CPU in the target's cluster.
2. Scanning the cluster prior to the LLC of the target CPU for an
idle CPU to wakeup.
Testing has been done on Kunpeng920 by pinning tasks to one numa and two
numa. On Kunpeng920, Each numa has 8 clusters and each cluster has 4 CPUs.
With this patch, We noticed enhancement on tbench and netperf within one
numa or cross two numa on top of tip-sched-core commit

Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.
Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().
The race scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1
// doing _cpu_down()
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
task_rq_lock();
takedown_cpu()
stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)
<PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE
...
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
affine_move_task()
task_rq_unlock();
<PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\>
ack_state()
MULTI_STOP_RUN
take_cpu_down()
__cpu_disable();
stop_machine_park();
stopper->enabled = false;
/>
/>
stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
if (stopper->enabled) // false!!!
That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.
OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.
Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:
preempt_disable();
task_rq_unlock(...);
if (!stop_pending)
stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
preempt_enable();
This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.
Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

VMAs are skipped if there is no recent fault activity but this represents
a chicken-and-egg problem as there may be no fault activity if the PTEs
are never updated to trap NUMA hints. There is an indirect reliance on
scanning to be forced early in the lifetime of a task but this may fail
to detect changes in phase behaviour. Force inactive VMAs to be scanned
when all other eligible VMAs have been updated within the same scan
sequence.
Test results in general look good with some changes in performance, both
negative and positive, depending on whether the additional scanning and
faulting was beneficial or not to the workload. The autonuma benchmark
workload NUMA01_THREADLOCAL was picked for closer examination. The workload
creates two processes with numerous threads and thread-local storage that
is zero-filled in a loop. It exercises the corner case where unrelated
threads may skip VMAs that are thread-local to another thread and still
has some VMAs that inactive while the workload executes.
The VMA skipping activity frequency with and without the patch:
6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabtrace-v1
=============================
649 reason=scan_delay
9,094 reason=unsuitable
48,915 reason=shared_ro
143,919 reason=inaccessible
193,050 reason=pid_inactive
6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabselective-v1
=============================
146 reason=seq_completed
622 reason=ignore_pid_inactive
624 reason=scan_delay
6,570 reason=unsuitable
16,101 reason=shared_ro
27,608 reason=inaccessible
41,939 reason=pid_inactive
Note that with the patch applied, the PID activity is ignored
(ignore_pid_inactive) to ensure a VMA with some activity is completely
scanned. In addition, a small number of VMAs are scanned when no other
eligible VMA is available during a single scan window (seq_completed).
The number of times a VMA is skipped due to no PID activity from the
scanning task (pid_inactive) drops dramatically. It is expected that
this will increase the number of PTEs updated for NUMA hinting faults
as well as hinting faults but these represent PTEs that would otherwise
have been missed. The tradeoff is scan+fault overhead versus improving
locality due to migration.
On a 2-socket Cascade Lake test machine, the time to complete the
workload is as follows;
6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
Min elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 174.22 ( 0.00%) 117.64 ( 32.48%)
Amean elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 175.68 ( 0.00%) 123.34 * 29.79%*
Stddev elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 1.20 ( 0.00%) 4.06 (-238.20%)
CoeffVar elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 0.68 ( 0.00%) 3.29 (-381.70%)
Max elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 177.18 ( 0.00%) 128.03 ( 27.74%)
The time to complete the workload is reduced by almost 30%:
6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1 /
Duration User 91201.80 63506.64
Duration System 2015.53 1819.78
Duration Elapsed 1234.77 868.37
In this specific case, system CPU time was not increased but it's not
universally true.
From vmstat, the NUMA scanning and fault activity is as follows;
6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
Ops NUMA base-page range updates 64272.00 26374386.00
Ops NUMA PTE updates 36624.00 55538.00
Ops NUMA PMD updates 54.00 51404.00
Ops NUMA hint faults 15504.00 75786.00
Ops NUMA hint local faults % 14860.00 56763.00
Ops NUMA hint local percent 95.85 74.90
Ops NUMA pages migrated 1629.00 6469222.00
Both the number of PTE updates and hint faults is dramatically
increased. While this is superficially unfortunate, it represents
ranges that were simply skipped without the patch. As a result
of the scanning and hinting faults, many more pages were also
migrated but as the time to completion is reduced, the overhead
is offset by the gain.

NUMA Balancing skips VMAs when the current task has not trapped a NUMA
fault within the VMA. If the VMA is skipped then mm->numa_scan_offset
advances and a task that is trapping faults within the VMA may never
fully update PTEs within the VMA.
Force tasks to update PTEs for partially scanned PTEs. The VMA will
be tagged for NUMA hints by some task but this removes some of the
benefit of tracking PID activity within a VMA. A follow-on patch
will mitigate this problem.
The test cases and machines evaluated did not trigger the corner case so
the performance results are neutral with only small changes within the
noise from normal test-to-test variance. However, the next patch makes
the corner case easier to trigger.

Recent NUMA hinting faulting activity is reset approximately every
VMA_PID_RESET_PERIOD milliseconds. However, if the current task has not
accessed a VMA then the reset check is missed and the reset is potentially
deferred forever. Check if the PID activity information should be reset
before checking if the current task recently trapped a NUMA hinting fault.

Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.
The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.
There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.
Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.
No functional changes.

find_new_ilb() returns nr_cpu_ids on failure - which is the usual
cpumask bitops return pattern, but is weird & unnecessary in this
context: not only is it a global variable, it it is a +1 out of

Its only user, kick_ilb(), then checks the return against nr_cpu_ids
to decide to return. There's no other use.
So instead of this, use a standard -1 return on failure to find an
idle CPU, as the argument is signed already.

The old pick_eevdf() could fail to find the actual earliest eligible
deadline when it descended to the right looking for min_deadline, but
it turned out that that min_deadline wasn't actually eligible. In that
case we need to go back and search through any left branches we
skipped looking for the actual best _eligible_ min_deadline.
This is more expensive, but still O(log n), and at worst should only
involve descending two branches of the rbtree.
I've run this through a userspace stress test (thank you

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it
eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case.
Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division
is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this
property the value returned is slightly left of the true average.
However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the
effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the
returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.

find_energy_efficient_cpu() bails out early if effective util of the
task is 0 as the delta at this point will be zero and there's nothing
for EAS to do. When uclamp is being used, this could lead to wrong
decisions when uclamp_max is set to 0. In this case the task is capped
to performance point 0, but it is actually running and consuming energy
and we can benefit from EAS energy calculations.
Rework the condition so that it bails out when both util and uclamp_min
are 0.
We can do that without needing to use uclamp_task_util(); remove it.

When uclamp_max is being used, the util of the task could be higher than
the spare capacity of the CPU, but due to uclamp_max value we force-fit
it there.
The way the condition for checking for max_spare_cap in
find_energy_efficient_cpu() was constructed; it ignored any CPU that has
its spare_cap less than or _equal_ to max_spare_cap. Since we initialize
max_spare_cap to 0; this lead to never setting max_spare_cap_cpu and
hence ending up never performing compute_energy() for this cluster and
missing an opportunity for a better energy efficient placement to honour
uclamp_max setting.
max_spare_cap = 0;
cpu_cap = capacity_of(cpu) - cpu_util(p); // 0 if cpu_util(p) is high
...
util_fits_cpu(...); // will return true if uclamp_max forces it to fit
...
// this logic will fail to update max_spare_cap_cpu if cpu_cap is 0
if (cpu_cap > max_spare_cap) {
max_spare_cap = cpu_cap;
max_spare_cap_cpu = cpu;
}
prev_spare_cap suffers from a similar problem.
Fix the logic by converting the variables into long and treating -1
value as 'not populated' instead of 0 which is a viable and correct
spare capacity value. We need to be careful signed comparison is used
when comparing with cpu_cap in one of the conditions.

We've observed the following warning being hit in
distribute_cfs_runtime():
SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->runtime_remaining > 0)
We have the following race:
- CPU 0: running bandwidth distribution (distribute_cfs_runtime).
Inspects the local cfs_rq and makes its runtime_remaining positive.
However, we defer unthrottling the local cfs_rq until after
considering all remote cfs_rq's.
- CPU 1: starts running bandwidth distribution from the slack timer. When
it finds the cfs_rq for CPU 0 on the throttled list, it observers the
that the cfs_rq is throttled, yet is not on the CSD list, and has a
positive runtime_remaining, thus triggering the warning in
distribute_cfs_runtime.
To fix this, we can rework the local unthrottling logic to put the local
cfs_rq on a local list, so that any future bandwidth distributions will
realize that the cfs_rq is about to be unthrottled.

When using sysbench to benchmark Postgres in a single docker instance
with sysbench's nr_threads set to nr_cpu, it is observed there are times
update_cfs_group() and update_load_avg() shows noticeable overhead on
a 2sockets/112core/224cpu Intel Sapphire Rapids(SPR):
13.75% 13.74% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_group
10.63% 10.04% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_load_avg
Annotate shows the cycles are mostly spent on accessing tg->load_avg
with update_load_avg() being the write side and update_cfs_group() being
the read side. tg->load_avg is per task group and when different tasks
of the same taskgroup running on different CPUs frequently access
tg->load_avg, it can be heavily contended.
E.g. when running postgres_sysbench on a 2sockets/112cores/224cpus Intel
Sappire Rapids, during a 5s window, the wakeup number is 14millions and
migration number is 11millions and with each migration, the task's load
will transfer from src cfs_rq to target cfs_rq and each change involves
an update to tg->load_avg. Since the workload can trigger as many wakeups
and migrations, the access(both read and write) to tg->load_avg can be
unbound. As a result, the two mentioned functions showed noticeable
overhead. With netperf/nr_client=nr_cpu/UDP_RR, the problem is worse:
during a 5s window, wakeup number is 21millions and migration number is
14millions; update_cfs_group() costs ~25% and update_load_avg() costs ~16%.
Reduce the overhead by limiting updates to tg->load_avg to at most once
per ms. The update frequency is a tradeoff between tracking accuracy and
overhead. 1ms is chosen because PELT window is roughly 1ms and it
delivered good results for the tests that I've done. After this change,
the cost of accessing tg->load_avg is greatly reduced and performance
improved. Detailed test results below.

We don't need to maintain per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list on !SMP, since
it's used for cfs_rq load tracking & balancing on SMP.
But sched debug interface uses it to print per-cfs_rq stats.
This patch fixes the !SMP version of cfs_rq_is_decayed(), so the
per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list is also maintained correctly on !SMP,
to fix the warning in assert_list_leaf_cfs_rq().

For SMT4, any group with more than 2 tasks will be marked as
group_smt_balance. Retain the behaviour of group_has_spare by marking
the busiest group as the group which has the least number of idle_cpus.
Also, handle rounding effect of adding (ncores_local + ncores_busy) when
the local is fully idle and busy group imbalance is less than 2 tasks.
Local group should try to pull at least 1 task in this case so imbalance
should be set to 2 instead.

should_we_balance() is called in load_balance() to find out if the CPU that
is trying to do the load balance is the right one or not.
With commit:
b1bfeab9b002("sched/fair: Consider the idle state of the whole core for load balance")
the code tries to find an idle core to do the load balancing
and falls back on an idle sibling CPU if there is no idle core.
However, on larger SMT systems, it could be needlessly iterating to find a
idle by scanning all the CPUs in an non-idle core. If the core is not idle,
and first SMT sibling which is idle has been found, then its not needed to
check other SMT siblings for idleness
Lets say in SMT4, Core0 has 0,2,4,6 and CPU0 is BUSY and rest are IDLE.
balancing domain is MC/DIE. CPU2 will be set as the first idle_smt and
same process would be repeated for CPU4 and CPU6 but this is unnecessary.
Since calling is_core_idle loops through all CPU's in the SMT mask, effect
is multiplied by weight of smt_mask. For example,when say 1 CPU is busy,
we would skip loop for 2 CPU's and skip iterating over 8CPU's. That
effect would be more in DIE/NUMA domain where there are more cores.
Testing and performance evaluation
==================================
The test has been done on this system which has 12 cores, i.e 24 small
cores with SMT=4:
lscpu
Architecture: ppc64le
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 96
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-95
Model name: POWER10 (architected), altivec supported
Thread(s) per core: 8
Used funclatency bcc tool to evaluate the time taken by should_we_balance(). For
base tip/sched/core the time taken is collected by making the
should_we_balance() noinline. time is in nanoseconds. The values are
collected by running the funclatency tracer for 60 seconds. values are
average of 3 such runs. This represents the expected reduced time with
patch.

and no core is idle. Decent improvement with 100% utilization case. no

Mike and others noticed that EEVDF does like to over-schedule quite a
bit -- which does hurt performance of a number of benchmarks /
workloads.
In particular, what seems to cause over-scheduling is that when lag is
of the same order (or larger) than the request / slice then placement
will not only cause the task to be placed left of current, but also
with a smaller deadline than current, which causes immediate
preemption.
[ notably, lag bounds are relative to HZ ]
Mike suggested we stick to picking 'current' for as long as it's
eligible to run, giving it uninterrupted runtime until it reaches
parity with the pack.
Augment Mike's suggestion by only allowing it to exhaust it's initial
request.

CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together. Tasks
can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does
accounting. This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such
tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting
requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick
be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there
are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime
bandwidth is expected to be enforced.
Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting
TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with
runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to
determine if the task requires the tick.
Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where
we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running.
Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such
as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.

In cgroupv2 cfs_b->hierarchical_quota is set to -1 for all task
groups due to the previous fix simply taking the min. It should
reflect a limit imposed at that level or by an ancestor. Even
though cgroupv2 does not require child quota to be less than or
equal to that of its ancestors the task group will still be
constrained by such a quota so this should be shown here. Cgroupv1
continues to set this correctly.
In both cases, add initialization when a new task group is created
based on the current parent's value (or RUNTIME_INF in the case of
root_task_group). Otherwise, the field is wrong until a quota is
changed after creation and __cfs_schedulable() is called.

cpu's runnable_avg is already used when computing util_avg which is then
compared with util_est.

Removes the FAIR_SLEEPERS code in favour of the new LAG based
placement.
Specifically, the whole FAIR_SLEEPER thing was a very crude
approximation to make up for the lack of lag based placement,
specifically the 'service owed' part. This is important for things
like 'starve' and 'hackbench'.
One side effect of FAIR_SLEEPER is that it caused 'small' unfairness,
specifically, by always ignoring up-to 'thresh' sleeptime it would
have a 50%/50% time distribution for a 50% sleeper vs a 100% runner,
while strictly speaking this should (of course) result in a 33%/67%
split (as CFS will also do if the sleep period exceeds 'thresh').

Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob,
the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter,
makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit.
Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the
tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a
virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well,
which is what allows over-subscription.
EEVDF has two parameters:
- weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before
- request size, or slice length: which is used to compute
the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i
Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier
and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier.
Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while
wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline.
Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the
selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a
problem.

In order to move to an eligibility based scheduling policy, we need
to have a better approximation of the ideal scheduler.
Specifically, for a virtual time weighted fair queueing based
scheduler the ideal scheduler will be the weighted average of the
individual virtual runtimes (math in the comment).
As such, compute the weighted average to approximate the ideal
scheduler -- note that the approximation is in the individual task
behaviour, which isn't strictly conformant.
Specifically consider adding a task with a vruntime left of center, in
this case the average will move backwards in time -- something the
ideal scheduler would of course never do.

should_we_balance() traverses the group_balance_mask (AND'ed with lb_env::
cpus) starting from lower numbered CPUs looking for the first idle CPU.
In hybrid x86 systems, the siblings of SMT cores get CPU numbers, before
non-SMT cores:
[0, 1] [2, 3] [4, 5] 6 7 8 9
b i b i b i b i i i
In the figure above, CPUs in brackets are siblings of an SMT core. The
rest are non-SMT cores. 'b' indicates a busy CPU, 'i' indicates an
idle CPU.
We should let a CPU on a fully idle core get the first chance to idle
load balance as it has more CPU capacity than a CPU on an idle SMT
CPU with busy sibling. So for the figure above, if we are running
should_we_balance() to CPU 1, we should return false to let CPU 7 on
idle core to have a chance first to idle load balance.
A partially busy (i.e., of type group_has_spare) local group with SMT
cores will often have only one SMT sibling busy. If the destination CPU
is a non-SMT core, partially busy, lower-numbered, SMT cores should not
be considered when finding the first idle CPU.
However, in should_we_balance(), when we encounter idle SMT first in partially
busy core, we prematurely break the search for the first idle CPU.
Higher-numbered, non-SMT cores is not given the chance to have
idle balance done on their behalf. Those CPUs will only be considered
for idle balancing by chance via CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.
Instead, consider the idle state of the whole SMT core.

In the current prefer sibling load balancing code, there is an implicit
assumption that the busiest sched group and local sched group are
equivalent, hence the tasks to be moved is simply the difference in
number of tasks between the two groups (i.e. imbalance) divided by two.
However, we may have different number of cores between the cluster groups,
say when we take CPU offline or we have hybrid groups. In that case,
we should balance between the two groups such that #tasks/#cores ratio
is the same between the same between both groups. Hence the imbalance
computed will need to reflect this.
Adjust the sibling imbalance computation to take into account of the
above considerations.

On hybrid CPUs with scheduling cluster enabled, we will need to
consider balancing between SMT CPU cluster, and Atom core cluster.
Below shows such a hybrid x86 CPU with 4 big cores and 8 atom cores.
Each scheduling cluster span a L2 cache.
--L2-- --L2-- --L2-- --L2-- ----L2---- -----L2------

Big Big Big Big Atom Atom
core core core core Module Module
If the busiest group is a big core with both SMT CPUs busy, we should
active load balance if destination group has idle CPU cores. Such
condition is considered by asym_active_balance() in load balancing but not
considered when looking for busiest group and computing load imbalance.
Add this consideration in find_busiest_group() and calculate_imbalance().
In addition, update the logic determining the busier group when one group
is SMT and the other group is non SMT but both groups are partially busy
with idle CPU. The busier group should be the group with idle cores rather
than the group with one busy SMT CPU. We do not want to make the SMT group
the busiest one to pull the only task off SMT CPU and causing the whole core to
go empty.
Otherwise suppose in the search for the busiest group, we first encounter
an SMT group with 1 task and set it as the busiest. The destination
group is an atom cluster with 1 task and we next encounter an atom
cluster group with 3 tasks, we will not pick this atom cluster over the
SMT group, even though we should. As a result, we do not load balance
the busier Atom cluster (with 3 tasks) towards the local atom cluster
(with 1 task). And it doesn't make sense to pick the 1 task SMT group
as the busier group as we also should not pull task off the SMT towards
the 1 task atom cluster and make the SMT core completely empty.

We currently export the total throttled time for cgroups that are given
a bandwidth limit. This patch extends this accounting to also account
the total time that each children cgroup has been throttled.
This is useful to understand the degree to which children have been
affected by the throttling control. Children which are not runnable
during the entire throttled period, for example, will not show any
self-throttling time during this period.
Expose this in a new interface, 'cpu.stat.local', which is similar to
how non-hierarchical events are accounted in 'memory.events.local'.

It is easy for a cfs_rq to become throttled even when it has no enqueued
entities (for example, if we have just put_prev()'d the last runnable
task of the cfs_rq, and the cfs_rq is out of quota).
Avoid accounting this time towards total throttle time, since it
otherwise falsely inflates the stats.
Note that the dequeue path is special, since we normally disallow
migrations when a task is in a throttled hierarchy (see

After commit 8ad075c2eb ("sched: Async unthrottling for cfs
bandwidth"), we may update the rq clock multiple times in the loop of
__cfsb_csd_unthrottle().
A prior (although less common) instance of this problem exists in
unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs().
Cure both by ensuring update_rq_clock() is called before the loop and
setting RQCF_ACT_SKIP during the loop, to supress further updates.
The alternative would be pulling update_rq_clock() out of
unthrottle_cfs_rq(), but that gives an even bigger mess.

The responsiveness of the Per Entity Load Tracking (PELT) util_avg in
mobile devices is still considered too low for utilization changes
during task ramp-up.
In Android this manifests in the fact that the first frames of a UI
activity are very prone to be jankframes (a frame which doesn't meet
the required frame rendering time, e.g. 16ms@60Hz) since the CPU
frequency is normally low at this point and has to ramp up quickly.
The beginning of an UI activity is also characterized by the occurrence
of CPU contention, especially on little CPUs. Current little CPUs can
have an original CPU capacity of only ~ 150 which means that the actual
CPU capacity at lower frequency can even be much smaller.
Schedutil maps CPU util_avg into CPU frequency request via:
util = effective_cpu_util(..., cpu_util_cfs(cpu), ...) ->
util = map_util_perf(util) -> freq = map_util_freq(util, ...)
CPU contention for CFS tasks can be detected by 'CPU runnable > CPU
utililization' in cpu_util_cfs_boost() -> cpu_util(..., boost = 1).
Schedutil uses 'runnable boosting' by calling cpu_util_cfs_boost().
To be in sync with schedutil's CPU frequency selection, Energy Aware
Scheduling (EAS) also calls cpu_util(..., boost = 1) during max util
detection.
Moreover, 'runnable boosting' is also used in load-balance for busiest
CPU selection when the migration type is 'migrate_util', i.e. only at
sched domains which don't have the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set.

Remove this by allowing cpu_util_next() to be called with p = NULL.
Rename cpu_util_next() to cpu_util() since the '_next' suffix is no

Implement cpu_util_cfs(cpu) as cpu_util(cpu, p = NULL, -1).

Further investigation shows that the warning is superfluous, the migration
disabled task is just going to be migrated to its current running CPU.
This is because that on load balance if the dst_cpu is not allowed by the
task, we'll re-select a new_dst_cpu as a candidate. If no task can be
balanced to dst_cpu we'll try to balance the task to the new_dst_cpu
instead. In this case when the migration disabled task is not on CPU it
only allows to run on its current CPU, load balance will select its
current CPU as new_dst_cpu and later triggers the warning above.
The new_dst_cpu is chosen from the env->dst_grpmask. Currently it
contains CPUs in sched_group_span() and if we have overlapped groups it's
possible to run into this case. This patch makes env->dst_grpmask of
group_balance_mask() which exclude any CPUs from the busiest group and
solve the issue. For balancing in a domain with no overlapped groups
the behaviour keeps same as before.

Now that find_busiest_group() triggers load balancing between a fully_
busy SMT2 core and an idle non-SMT core, it is no longer needed to force
balancing via asym_packing. Use asym_packing only as intended: when there
is high-priority CPU that is idle.
After this change, the same logic apply to SMT and non-SMT local groups.
It makes less sense having a separate function to deal specifically with
SMT. Fold the logic in asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() into sched_asym().

The prefer_sibling setting acts on the busiest group to move excess tasks
to the local group. This should be done as per request of the child of the
busiest group's sched domain, not the local group's.
Using the flags of the child domain of the local group works fortuitously
if both groups have child domains.
There are cases, however, in which the busiest group's sched domain has
child but the local group's does not. Consider, for instance a non-SMT
core (or an SMT core with only one online sibling) doing load balance with
an SMT core at the MC level. SD_PREFER_SIBLING of the busiest group's child
domain will not be honored. We are left with a fully busy SMT core and an
idle non-SMT core.

Using asym_packing priorities within an SMT core is straightforward. Just
follow the priorities that hardware indicates.
When balancing load from an SMT core, also consider the idle state of its
siblings. Priorities do not reflect that an SMT core divides its throughput
among all its busy siblings. They only makes sense when exactly one sibling
is busy.
Indicate that active balance is needed if the destination CPU has lower
priority than the source CPU but the latter has busy SMT siblings.
Make find_busiest_queue() not skip higher-priority SMT cores with more than
busy sibling.

Callers of asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() check the idle state of the
destination CPU and its SMT siblings, if any. No extra checks are needed
in such function.
Since SMT cores divide capacity among its siblings, priorities only really
make sense if only one sibling is active. This is true for SMT2, SMT4,
SMT8, etc. Do not use asym_packing load balance for this case. Instead,
let find_busiest_group() handle imbalances.
When balancing non-SMT cores or at higher scheduling domains (e.g.,
between MC scheduling groups), continue using priorities.

operations O(1) rather than O(n).
- Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.
- Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
caused by its unintuitive meaning.
- Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.
- Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.
- Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().
- Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

This helps to ensure that only recently accessed PIDs scan the VMAs.
Current implementation: (idea supported by PeterZ)
1. Accessing PID information is maintained in two windows.
access_pids[1] being newest.
2. Reset old access PID info i.e. access_pid[0] every (4 *
sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval after initial scan delay
period expires.
The above interval seemed to be experimentally optimum since it avoids
frequent reset of access info as well as helps clearing the old access
info regularly. The reset logic is implemented in scan path.

During Numa scanning make sure only relevant vmas of the tasks are
scanned.
Before:
All the tasks of a process participate in scanning the vma even if they
do not access vma in it's lifespan.
Now:
Except cases of first few unconditional scans, if a process do
not touch vma (exluding false positive cases of PID collisions)
tasks no longer scan all vma
Logic used:
1) 6 bits of PID used to mark active bit in vma numab status during
fault to remember PIDs accessing vma. (Thanks Mel)
2) Subsequently in scan path, vma scanning is skipped if current PID
had not accessed vma.
3) First two times we do allow unconditional scan to preserve earlier
behaviour of scanning.

Pach series "sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning", v3.
The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning
suggested by Mel. This is continuation of [3].
Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1)
Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from
per-thread stats. Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA
fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better.
During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance
current numa balancing. One of the suggestion was below
Track what threads access a VMA. The suggestion was to use an unsigned
long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads
access a VMA. Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault. This would be
approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas
the thread is not interested in. The above suggestion intends not to
penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning
overhead.
V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes)
Summary of patchset:
Current patchset implements:
1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that
additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks
(implementation by Mel)
2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows. It is
regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval.
The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to
balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data
3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information
4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks
which had not accessed VMA
Changes since V2:
patch1:
- Renaming of structure, macro to function,
- Add explanation to heuristics
- Adding more details from result (PeterZ)
Patch2:
- Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ)
- Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep()
- Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan
(PeterZ)
Patch3:
- Maintain two windows of access PID information
(PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend
to N if needed)
Patch4:
- Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ)
Changes since RFC V1:
- Include Mel's vma scan delay patch
- Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel)
- Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel)
- Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel)
- Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport)
Things to ponder over:
==========================================
- Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in
patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history)
- Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see
frequent tries to scan. Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve
results further.

There are scenarios where non-affine wakeups are incorrectly counted as
affine wakeups by schedstats.
When wake_affine_idle() returns prev_cpu which doesn't equal to
nr_cpumask_bits, it will slip through the check: target == nr_cpumask_bits
in wake_affine() and be counted as if target == this_cpu in schedstats.
Replace target == nr_cpumask_bits with target != this_cpu to make sure
affine wakeups are accurately tallied.

CPU cfs bandwidth controller uses hrtimer. Currently there is no initial
value set. Hence all period timers would align at expiry.
This happens when there are multiple CPU cgroup's.
There is a performance gain that can be achieved here if the timers are
interleaved when the utilization of each CPU cgroup is low and total
utilization of all the CPU cgroup's is less than 50%. If the timers are
interleaved, then the unthrottled cgroup can run freely without many
context switches and can also benefit from SMT Folding. This effect will
be further amplified in SPLPAR environment.
This commit adds a random offset after initializing each hrtimer. This
would result in interleaving the timers at expiry, which helps in achieving
the said performance gain.
This was tested on powerpc platform with 8 core SMT=8. Socket power was
measured when the workload. Benchmarked the stress-ng with power
information. Throughput oriented benchmarks show significant gain up to
25% while power consumption increases up to 15%.
Workload: stress-ng --cpu=32 --cpu-ops=50000.
1CG - 1 cgroup is running.
2CG - 2 cgroups are running together.
Time taken to complete stress-ng in seconds and power is in watts.
each cgroup is throttled at 25% with 100ms as the period value.

Latency might be affected by this change. That could happen if the CPU was
in a deep idle state which is possible if we interleave the timers. Used
schbench for measuring the latency. Each cgroup is throttled at 25% with
period value is set to 100ms. Numbers are when both the cgroups are
running simultaneously. Latency values don't degrade much. Some
improvement is seen in tail latencies.

When a scheduling entity is placed onto cfs_rq, its vruntime is pulled
to the base level (around cfs_rq->min_vruntime), so that the entity
doesn't gain extra boost when placed backwards.
However, if the entity being placed wasn't executed for a long time, its
vruntime may get too far behind (e.g. while cfs_rq was executing a
low-weight hog), which can inverse the vruntime comparison due to s64
overflow. This results in the entity being placed with its original
vruntime way forwards, so that it will effectively never get to the cpu.
To prevent that, ignore the vruntime of the entity being placed if it
didn't execute for much longer than the characteristic sheduler time
scale.

By taking into account uclamp_min, the 1:1 relation between task misfit
and cpu overutilized is no more true as a task with a small util_avg may
not fit a high capacity cpu because of uclamp_min constraint.
Add a new state in util_fits_cpu() to reflect the case that task would fit
a CPU except for the uclamp_min hint which is a performance requirement.
Use -1 to reflect that a CPU doesn't fit only because of uclamp_min so we
can use this new value to take additional action to select the best CPU
that doesn't match uclamp_min hint.
When util_fits_cpu() returns -1, we will continue to look for a possible
CPU with better performance, which replaces Capacity Inversion detection
with capacity_orig_of() - thermal_load_avg to detect a capacity inversion.

Merge tag 'v6.2-rc6' into sched/core, to pick up fixes
Pick up fixes before merging another batch of cpuidle updates.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
In presence of a lot of small weight tasks like sched_idle tasks, normal
or high weight tasks can see their ideal runtime (sched_slice) to increase
to hundreds ms whereas it normally stays below sysctl_sched_latency.
2 normal tasks running on a CPU will have a max sched_slice of 12ms
(half of the sched_period). This means that they will make progress
every sysctl_sched_latency period.
If we now add 1000 idle tasks on the CPU, the sched_period becomes
3006 ms and the ideal runtime of the normal tasks becomes 609 ms.
It will even become 1500ms if the idle tasks belongs to an idle cgroup.
This means that the scheduler will look for picking another waiting task
after 609ms running time (1500ms respectively). The idle tasks change
significantly the way the 2 normal tasks interleave their running time
slot whereas they should have a small impact.
Such long sched_slice can delay significantly the release of resources
as the tasks can wait hundreds of ms before the next running slot just
because of idle tasks queued on the rq.
Cap the ideal_runtime to sysctl_sched_latency to make sure that tasks will
regularly make progress and will not be significantly impacted by
idle/background tasks queued on the rq.

When select_idle_capacity() starts scanning for an idle CPU, it starts
with target CPU that has already been checked in select_idle_sibling().
So we start checking from the next CPU and try the target CPU at the end.
Similarly for task_numa_assign(), we have just checked numa_migrate_on
of dst_cpu, so start from the next CPU. This also works for
steal_cookie_task(), the first scan must fail and start directly
from the next one.

CFS bandwidth currently distributes new runtime and unthrottles cfs_rq's
inline in an hrtimer callback. Runtime distribution is a per-cpu
operation, and unthrottling is a per-cgroup operation, since a tg walk
is required. On machines with a large number of cpus and large cgroup
hierarchies, this cpus*cgroups work can be too much to do in a single
hrtimer callback: since IRQ are disabled, hard lockups may easily occur.
Specifically, we've found this scalability issue on configurations with
256 cpus, O(1000) cgroups in the hierarchy being throttled, and high
memory bandwidth usage.
To fix this, we can instead unthrottle cfs_rq's asynchronously via a
CSD. Each cpu is responsible for unthrottling itself, thus sharding the
total work more fairly across the system, and avoiding hard lockups.

When evaluating the CPU candidates in the perf domain (pd) containing
the previously used CPU (prev_cpu), find_energy_efficient_cpu()
evaluates the energy of the pd:
- without the task (base_energy)
- with the task placed on prev_cpu (if the task fits)
- with the task placed on the CPU with the highest spare capacity,
prev_cpu being excluded from this set
If prev_cpu is already the CPU with the highest spare capacity,
max_spare_cap_cpu will be the CPU with the second highest spare
capacity.
On an Arm64 Juno-r2, with a workload of 10 tasks at a 10% duty cycle,
when prev_cpu and max_spare_cap_cpu are both valid candidates,
prev_spare_cap > max_spare_cap at ~82%.
Thus the energy of the pd when placing the task on max_spare_cap_cpu
is computed with no possible positive outcome 82% most of the time.
Do not consider max_spare_cap_cpu as a valid candidate if
prev_spare_cap > max_spare_cap.

We do consider thermal pressure in util_fits_cpu() for uclamp_min only.
With the exception of the biggest cores which by definition are the max
performance point of the system and all tasks by definition should fit.
Even under thermal pressure, the capacity of the biggest CPU is the
highest in the system and should still fit every task. Except when it
reaches capacity inversion point, then this is no longer true.
We can handle this by using the inverted capacity as capacity_orig in
util_fits_cpu(). Which not only addresses the problem above, but also
ensure uclamp_max now considers the inverted capacity. Force fitting
a task when a CPU is in this adverse state will contribute to making the
thermal throttling last longer.

Check each performance domain to see if thermal pressure is causing its
capacity to be lower than another performance domain.
We assume that each performance domain has CPUs with the same
capacities, which is similar to an assumption made in energy_model.c
We also assume that thermal pressure impacts all CPUs in a performance
domain equally.
If there're multiple performance domains with the same capacity_orig, we
will trigger a capacity inversion if the domain is under thermal
pressure.
The new cpu_in_capacity_inversion() should help users to know when
information about capacity_orig are not reliable and can opt in to use
the inverted capacity as the 'actual' capacity_orig.

So that it is now uclamp aware.
This fixes a major problem of busy tasks capped with UCLAMP_MAX keeping
the system in overutilized state which disables EAS and leads to wasting
energy in the long run.
Without this patch running a busy background activity like JIT
compilation on Pixel 6 causes the system to be in overutilized state
74.5% of the time.
With this patch this goes down to 9.79%.
It also fixes another problem when long running tasks that have their
UCLAMP_MIN changed while running such that they need to upmigrate to
honour the new UCLAMP_MIN value. The upmigration doesn't get triggered
because overutilized state never gets set in this state, hence misfit
migration never happens at tick in this case until the task wakes up
again.

As reported by Yun Hsiang [1], if a task has its uclamp_min >= 0.8 * 1024,
it'll always pick the previous CPU because fits_capacity() will always
return false in this case.
The new util_fits_cpu() logic should handle this correctly for us beside
more corner cases where similar failures could occur, like when using
UCLAMP_MAX.
We open code uclamp_rq_util_with() except for the clamp() part,
util_fits_cpu() needs the 'raw' values to be passed to it.
Also introduce uclamp_rq_{set, get}() shorthand accessors to get uclamp
value for the rq. Makes the code more readable and ensures the right
rules (use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE) are respected transparently.

fits_capacity() verifies that a util is within 20% margin of the
capacity of a CPU, which is an attempt to speed up upmigration.
But when uclamp is used, this 20% margin is problematic because for
example if a task is boosted to 1024, then it will not fit on any CPU
according to fits_capacity() logic.
Or if a task is boosted to capacity_orig_of(medium_cpu). The task will
end up on big instead on the desired medium CPU.
Similar corner cases exist for uclamp and usage of capacity_of().
Slightest irq pressure on biggest CPU for example will make a 1024
boosted task look like it can't fit.
What we really want is for uclamp comparisons to ignore the migration
margin and capacity pressure, yet retain them for when checking the
_actual_ util signal.
For example, task p:
p->util_avg = 300
p->uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = 1024
Will fit a big CPU. But
p->util_avg = 900
p->uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = 1024
will not, this should trigger overutilized state because the big CPU is
now *actually* being saturated.
Similar reasoning applies to capping tasks with UCLAMP_MAX. For example:
p->util_avg = 1024
p->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX] = capacity_orig_of(medium_cpu)
Should fit the task on medium cpus without triggering overutilized
state.
Inlined comments expand more on desired behavior in more scenarios.
Introduce new util_fits_cpu() function which encapsulates the new logic.
The new function is not used anywhere yet, but will be used to update
various users of fits_capacity() in later patches.

The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the
hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will
try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion
page.
If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval
is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be
decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages.
Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of
the candidate promotion pages.
To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total
number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the
hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are
scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't
uniform along the address usually, the statistics interval should be
larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan
period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node
via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by
the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.
A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120
The tps can be improved about 5%.
This patch (of 3):
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

It's uncertain whether idle cores exist or not if shared sched-
domains are not ready, so returning "no idle cores" usually
makes sense.
While __update_idle_core() is an exception, it checks status
of this core and set hint to shared sched-domain if necessary.
So the whole logic of this function depends on the existence
of shared sched-domain, and can certainly bail out early if
it is not available.
It's somehow a little tricky, and as Josh suggested that it
should be transient while the domain isn't ready. So remove
the self-defined default value to make things more clearer.

This patch delete this unnessary limitation by adding check before do

By using a WARN_ON_ONCE() we at least give the user a chance to report

None of these WARN_ON_ONCE()s are supposed to trigger, ever - so we ignore
cases where a NULL check is done via a BUG_ON() and we let a NULL

There's one exception: WARN_ON_ONCE() arguments with side-effects,

The capacity of the CPU available for CFS tasks can be reduced because of
other activities running on the latter. In such case, it's worth trying to
move CFS tasks on a CPU with more available capacity.
The rework of the load balance has filtered the case when the CPU is
classified to be fully busy but its capacity is reduced.
Check if CPU's capacity is reduced while gathering load balance statistic
and classify it group_misfit_task instead of group_fully_busy so we can
try to move the load on another CPU.

find_energy_efficient_cpu() integrates a margin to protect tasks from
bouncing back and forth from a CPU to another. This margin is set as being
6% of the total current energy estimated on the system. This however does
not work for two reasons:
1. The energy estimation is not a good absolute value:
compute_energy() used in feec() is a good estimation for task placement as
it allows to compare the energy with and without a task. The computed
delta will give a good overview of the cost for a certain task placement.
It, however, doesn't work as an absolute estimation for the total energy
of the system. First it adds the contribution to idle CPUs into the
energy, second it mixes util_avg with util_est values. util_avg contains
the near history for a CPU usage, it doesn't tell at all what the current
utilization is. A system that has been quite busy in the near past will
hold a very high energy and then a high margin preventing any task
migration to a lower capacity CPU, wasting energy. It even creates a
negative feedback loop: by holding the tasks on a less efficient CPU, the
margin contributes in keeping the energy high.
2. The margin handicaps small tasks:
On a system where the workload is composed mostly of small tasks (which is
often the case on Android), the overall energy will be high enough to
create a margin none of those tasks can cross. On a Pixel4, a small
utilization of 5% on all the CPUs creates a global estimated energy of 140
joules, as per the Energy Model declaration of that same device. This
means, after applying the 6% margin that any migration must save more than
8 joules to happen. No task with a utilization lower than 40 would then be
able to migrate away from the biggest CPU of the system.
The 6% of the overall system energy was brought by the following patch:
(eb92692b25 sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups)
It was previously 6% of the prev_cpu energy. Also, the following one
made this margin value conditional on the clusters where the task fits:
(8d4c97c105 sched/fair: Only compute base_energy_pd if necessary)
We could simply revert that margin change to what it was, but the original
version didn't have strong grounds neither and as demonstrated in (1.) the
estimated energy isn't a good absolute value. Instead, removing it
completely. It is indeed, made possible by recent changes that improved
energy estimation comparison fairness (sched/fair: Remove task_util from
effective utilization in feec()) (PM: EM: Increase energy calculation
precision) and task utilization stabilization (sched/fair: Decay task
util_avg during migration)
Without a margin, we could have feared bouncing between CPUs. But running
LISA's eas_behaviour test coverage on three different platforms (Hikey960,
RB-5 and DB-845) showed no issue.
Removing the energy margin enables more energy-optimized placements for a
more energy efficient system.

The energy estimation in find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) relies on
the computation of the effective utilization for each CPU of a perf domain
(PD). This effective utilization is then used as an estimation of the busy
time for this pd. The function effective_cpu_util() which gives this value,
scales the utilization relative to IRQ pressure on the CPU to take into
account that the IRQ time is hidden from the task clock. The IRQ scaling is
as follow:
effective_cpu_util = irq + (cpu_cap - irq)/cpu_cap * util
Where util is the sum of CFS/RT/DL utilization, cpu_cap the capacity of
the CPU and irq the IRQ avg time.
If now we take as an example a task placement which doesn't raise the OPP
on the candidate CPU, we can write the energy delta as:
delta = OPPcost/cpu_cap * (effective_cpu_util(cpu_util + task_util) -
effective_cpu_util(cpu_util))
= OPPcost/cpu_cap * (cpu_cap - irq)/cpu_cap * task_util
We end-up with an energy delta depending on the IRQ avg time, which is a
problem: first the time spent on IRQs by a CPU has no effect on the
additional energy that would be consumed by a task. Second, we don't want
to favour a CPU with a higher IRQ avg time value.
Nonetheless, we need to take the IRQ avg time into account. If a task
placement raises the PD's frequency, it will increase the energy cost for
the entire time where the CPU is busy. A solution is to only use
effective_cpu_util() with the CPU contribution part. The task contribution
is added separately and scaled according to prev_cpu's IRQ time.
No change for the FREQUENCY_UTIL component of the energy estimation. We
still want to get the actual frequency that would be selected after the
task placement.

The Perf Domain (PD) cpumask (struct em_perf_domain.cpus) stays
invariant after Energy Model creation, i.e. it is not updated after
CPU hotplug operations.
That's why the PD mask is used in conjunction with the cpu_online_mask
(or Sched Domain cpumask). Thereby the cpu_online_mask is fetched
multiple times (in compute_energy()) during a run-queue selection
for a task.
cpu_online_mask may change during this time which can lead to wrong
energy calculations.
To be able to avoid this, use the select_rq_mask per-cpu cpumask to
create a cpumask out of PD cpumask and cpu_online_mask and pass it
through the function calls of the EAS run-queue selection path.
The PD cpumask for max_spare_cap_cpu/compute_prev_delta selection
(find_energy_efficient_cpu()) is now ANDed not only with the SD mask
but also with the cpu_online_mask. This is fine since this cpumask
has to be in syc with the one used for energy computation
(compute_energy()).
An exclusive cpuset setup with at least one asymmetric CPU capacity
island (hence the additional AND with the SD cpumask) is the obvious
exception here.

effective_cpu_util() already has a `int cpu' parameter which allows to
retrieve the CPU capacity scale factor (or maximum CPU capacity) inside
this function via an arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu).
A lot of code calling effective_cpu_util() (or the shim
sched_cpu_util()) needs the maximum CPU capacity, i.e. it will call
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() already.
But not having to pass it into effective_cpu_util() will make the EAS
wake-up code easier, especially when the maximum CPU capacity reduced
by the thermal pressure is passed through the EAS wake-up functions.
Due to the asymmetric CPU capacity support of arm/arm64 architectures,
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu) is a per-CPU variable read access via
per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu) on such a system.
On all other architectures it is a a compile-time constant
(SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

Before being migrated to a new CPU, a task sees its PELT values
synchronized with rq last_update_time. Once done, that same task will also
have its sched_avg last_update_time reset. This means the time between
the migration and the last clock update will not be accounted for in
util_avg and a discontinuity will appear. This issue is amplified by the
PELT clock scaling. It takes currently one tick after the CPU being idle
to let clock_pelt catching up clock_task.
This is especially problematic for asymmetric CPU capacity systems which
need stable util_avg signals for task placement and energy estimation.
Ideally, this problem would be solved by updating the runqueue clocks
before the migration. But that would require taking the runqueue lock
which is quite expensive [1]. Instead estimate the missing time and update
the task util_avg with that value.
To that end, we need sched_clock_cpu() but it is a costly function. Limit
the usage to the case where the source CPU is idle as we know this is when
the clock is having the biggest risk of being outdated.
See comment in migrate_se_pelt_lag() for more details about how the PELT
value is estimated. Notice though this estimation doesn't take into account
IRQ and Paravirt time.

Introducing macro helpers u64_u32_{store,load}() to factorize lockless
accesses to u64 variables for 32-bits architectures.
Users are for now cfs_rq.min_vruntime and sched_avg.last_update_time. To
accommodate the later where the copy lies outside of the structure
(cfs_rq.last_udpate_time_copy instead of sched_avg.last_update_time_copy),
use the _copy() version of those helpers.
Those new helpers encapsulate smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() synchronization and
therefore, have a small penalty for 32-bits machines in set_task_rq_fair()

The time spent in select_idle_cpu() is visible to netperf and might have a negative
impact.
[Symptom analysis]
The patch [1] from Mel Gorman has been applied to track the efficiency
of select_idle_sibling. Copy the indicators here:
SIS Search Efficiency(se_eff%):
A ratio expressed as a percentage of runqueues scanned versus
idle CPUs found. A 100% efficiency indicates that the target,
prev or recent CPU of a task was idle at wakeup. The lower the
efficiency, the more runqueues were scanned before an idle CPU
was found.
SIS Domain Search Efficiency(dom_eff%):
Similar, except only for the slower SIS
patch.
SIS Fast Success Rate(fast_rate%):
Percentage of SIS that used target, prev or
recent CPUs.
SIS Success rate(success_rate%):
Percentage of scans that found an idle CPU.
The test is based on Aubrey's schedtests tool, including netperf, hackbench,
schbench and tbench.

According to the test above, if the system becomes busy, the
SIS Search Efficiency(se_eff%) drops significantly. Although some
benchmarks would finally find an idle CPU(success_rate% = 100%), it is
doubtful whether it is worth it to search the whole LLC domain.
[Proposal]
It would be ideal to have a crystal ball to answer this question:
How many CPUs must a wakeup path walk down, before it can find an idle
CPU? Many potential metrics could be used to predict the number.
One candidate is the sum of util_avg in this LLC domain. The benefit
of choosing util_avg is that it is a metric of accumulated historic
activity, which seems to be smoother than instantaneous metrics
(such as rq->nr_running). Besides, choosing the sum of util_avg
would help predict the load of the LLC domain more precisely, because
SIS_PROP uses one CPU's idle time to estimate the total LLC domain idle
time.
In summary, the lower the util_avg is, the more select_idle_cpu()
should scan for idle CPU, and vice versa. When the sum of util_avg
in this LLC domain hits 85% or above, the scan stops. The reason to
choose 85% as the threshold is that this is the imbalance_pct(117)
when a LLC sched group is overloaded.
Introduce the quadratic function:
y = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - p * x^2
and y'= y / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
x is the ratio of sum_util compared to the CPU capacity:
x = sum_util / (llc_weight * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE)
y' is the ratio of CPUs to be scanned in the LLC domain,
and the number of CPUs to scan is calculated by:
nr_scan = llc_weight * y'
Choosing quadratic function is because:
[1] Compared to the linear function, it scans more aggressively when the
sum_util is low.
[2] Compared to the exponential function, it is easier to calculate.
[3] It seems that there is no accurate mapping between the sum of util_avg
and the number of CPUs to be scanned. Use heuristic scan for now.
For a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is:
sum_util% 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 86 ...
scan_nr 112 111 108 102 93 81 65 47 25 1 0 ...
For a platform with 16 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is:
sum_util% 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 86 ...
scan_nr 16 15 15 14 13 11 9 6 3 0 0 ...
Furthermore, to minimize the overhead of calculating the metrics in
select_idle_cpu(), borrow the statistics from periodic load balance.
As mentioned by Abel, on a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the
sum_util calculated by periodic load balance after 112 ms would
decay to about 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.7 = 8.75%, thus bringing a delay
in reflecting the latest utilization. But it is a trade-off.
Checking the util_avg in newidle load balance would be more frequent,
but it brings overhead - multiple CPUs write/read the per-LLC shared
variable and introduces cache contention. Tim also mentioned that,
it is allowed to be non-optimal in terms of scheduling for the
short-term variations, but if there is a long-term trend in the load
behavior, the scheduler can adjust for that.
When SIS_UTIL is enabled, the select_idle_cpu() uses the nr_scan
calculated by SIS_UTIL instead of the one from SIS_PROP. As Peter and
Mel suggested, SIS_UTIL should be enabled by default.
This patch is based on the util_avg, which is very sensitive to the
CPU frequency invariance. There is an issue that, when the max frequency
has been clamp, the util_avg would decay insanely fast when
the CPU is idle. Commit addca28512 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Handle no_turbo
in frequency invariance") could be used to mitigate this symptom, by adjusting
the arch_max_freq_ratio when turbo is disabled. But this issue is still
not thoroughly fixed, because the current code is unaware of the user-specified
max CPU frequency.

*Consider the Standard Deviation, this -7.36% regression might not be valid.
Also, a OLTP workload with a commercial RDBMS has been tested, and there
is no significant change.
There were concerns that unbalanced tasks among CPUs would cause problems.
For example, suppose the LLC domain is composed of 8 CPUs, and 7 tasks are
bound to CPU0~CPU6, while CPU7 is idle:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7
util_avg 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 0
Since the util_avg ratio is 87.5%( = 7/8 ), which is higher than 85%,
select_idle_cpu() will not scan, thus CPU7 is undetected during scan.
But according to Mel, it is unlikely the CPU7 will be idle all the time
because CPU7 could pull some tasks via CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.
lkp(kernel test robot) has reported a regression on stress-ng.sock on a
very busy system. According to the sched_debug statistics, it might be caused
by SIS_UTIL terminates the scan and chooses a previous CPU earlier, and this
might introduce more context switch, especially involuntary preemption, which
impacts a busy stress-ng. This regression has shown that, not all benchmarks
in every scenario benefit from idle CPU scan limit, and it needs further
investigation.
Besides, there is slight regression in hackbench's 16 groups case when the
LLC domain has 16 CPUs. Prateek mentioned that we should scan aggressively
in an LLC domain with 16 CPUs. Because the cost to search for an idle one
among 16 CPUs is negligible. The current patch aims to propose a generic
solution and only considers the util_avg. Something like the below could
be applied on top of the current patch to fulfill the requirement:
if (llc_weight <= 16)
nr_scan = nr_scan * 32 / llc_weight;
For LLC domain with 16 CPUs, the nr_scan will be expanded to 2 times large.
The smaller the CPU number this LLC domain has, the larger nr_scan will be
expanded. This needs further investigation.
There is also ongoing work[2] from Abel to filter out the busy CPUs during
wakeup, to further speed up the idle CPU scan. And it could be a following-up
optimization on top of this change.

While doing newidle load balancing, it is possible for new tasks to
arrive, such as with pending wakeups. newidle_balance() already accounts
for this by exiting the sched_domain load_balance() iteration if it
detects these cases. This is very important for minimizing wakeup
latency.
However, if we are already in load_balance(), we may stay there for a
while before returning back to newidle_balance(). This is most
exacerbated if we enter a 'goto redo' loop in the LBF_ALL_PINNED case. A
very straightforward workaround to this is to adjust should_we_balance()
to bail out if we're doing a CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balance and new tasks are
detected.
This was tested with the following reproduction:
- two threads that take turns sleeping and waking each other up are
affined to two cores
- a large number of threads with 100% utilization are pinned to all
other cores
Without this patch, wakeup latency was ~120us for the pair of threads,
almost entirely spent in load_balance(). With this patch, wakeup latency
is ~6us.

We notice the rq leaf_cfs_rq_list has two problems when do bugfix
backports and some test profiling.
1. cfs_rqs under throttled subtree could be added to the list, and
make their fully decayed ancestors on the list, even though not needed.
2. #1 also make the leaf_cfs_rq_list management complex and error prone,
this is the list of related bugfix so far:
commit 31bc6aeaab ("sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()")
commit fe61468b2c ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning")
commit b34cb07dde ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair() warning some more")
commit 39f23ce07b ("sched/fair: Fix unthrottle_cfs_rq() for leaf_cfs_rq list")
commit 0258bdfaff ("sched/fair: Fix unfairness caused by missing load decay")
commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle")
commit fdaba61ef8 ("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling")
commit 2630cde267 ("sched/fair: Add ancestors of unthrottled undecayed cfs_rq")
commit 31bc6aeaab ("sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()")
delete every cfs_rq under throttled subtree from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list,
and delete the throttled_hierarchy() test in update_blocked_averages(),
which optimized update_blocked_averages().
But those later bugfix add cfs_rqs under throttled subtree back to
rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list again, with their fully decayed ancestors, for
the integrity of rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
This patch takes another method, skip all cfs_rqs under throttled
hierarchy when list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(), to completely make cfs_rqs
under throttled subtree off the leaf_cfs_rq_list.
So we don't need to consider throttled related things in
enqueue_entity(), unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair(),
which simplify the code a lot. Also optimize update_blocked_averages()
since cfs_rqs under throttled hierarchy and their ancestors
won't be on the leaf_cfs_rq_list.

In the case of systems containing multiple LLCs per socket, like
AMD Zen systems, users want to spread bandwidth hungry applications
across multiple LLCs. Stream is one such representative workload where
the best performance is obtained by limiting one stream thread per LLC.
To ensure this, users are known to pin the tasks to a specify a subset
of the CPUs consisting of one CPU per LLC while running such bandwidth
hungry tasks.
Suppose we kickstart a multi-threaded task like stream with 8 threads
using taskset or numactl to run on a subset of CPUs on a 2 socket Zen3
server where each socket contains 128 CPUs
(0-63,128-191 in one socket, 64-127,192-255 in another socket)
Eg: numactl -C 0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112 ./stream8
Here each CPU in the list is from a different LLC and 4 of those LLCs
are on one socket, while the other 4 are on another socket.
Ideally we would prefer that each stream thread runs on a different
CPU from the allowed list of CPUs. However, the current heuristics in
find_idlest_group() do not allow this during the initial placement.
Suppose the first socket (0-63,128-191) is our local group from which
we are kickstarting the stream tasks. The first four stream threads
will be placed in this socket. When it comes to placing the 5th
thread, all the allowed CPUs are from the local group (0,16,32,48)
would have been taken.
However, the current scheduler code simply checks if the number of
tasks in the local group is fewer than the allowed numa-imbalance
threshold. This threshold was previously 25% of the NUMA domain span
(in this case threshold = 32) but after the v6 of Mel's patchset
"Adjust NUMA imbalance for multiple LLCs", got merged in sched-tip,
Commit: e496132ebe ("sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance
when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs") it is now equal to number of LLCs
in the NUMA domain, for processors with multiple LLCs.
(in this case threshold = 8).
For this example, the number of tasks will always be within threshold
and thus all the 8 stream threads will be woken up on the first socket
thereby resulting in sub-optimal performance.
The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial
placement of tasks in the current tip/sched/core on the Zen3 machine:
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005036: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5315 prio=120 target_cpu=032
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005086: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5316 prio=120 target_cpu=048
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005141: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5317 prio=120 target_cpu=000
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005183: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5318 prio=120 target_cpu=016
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005218: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5319 prio=120 target_cpu=016
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005256: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5320 prio=120 target_cpu=016
stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005295: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5321 prio=120 target_cpu=016
Once the first four threads are distributed among the allowed CPUs of
socket one, the rest of the treads start piling on these same CPUs
when clearly there are CPUs on the second socket that can be used.
Following the initial pile up on a small number of CPUs, though the
load-balancer eventually kicks in, it takes a while to get to {4}{4}
and even {4}{4} isn't stable as we observe a bunch of ping ponging
between {4}{4} to {5}{3} and back before a stable state is reached
much later (1 Stream thread per allowed CPU) and no more migration is
required.
We can detect this piling and avoid it by checking if the number of
allowed CPUs in the local group are fewer than the number of tasks
running in the local group and use this information to spread the
5th task out into the next socket (after all, the goal in this
slowpath is to find the idlest group and the idlest CPU during the
initial placement!).
The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial
placement of tasks after adding this fix on the Zen3 machine:
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784046: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4487 prio=120 target_cpu=032
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784123: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4488 prio=120 target_cpu=048
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784167: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4489 prio=120 target_cpu=000
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784222: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4490 prio=120 target_cpu=112
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784271: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4491 prio=120 target_cpu=096
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784322: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4492 prio=120 target_cpu=080
stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784368: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4493 prio=120 target_cpu=064
We see that threads are using all of the allowed CPUs and there is
no pileup.
No output is generated for tracepoint sched_migrate_task with this
patch due to a perfect initial placement which removes the need
for balancing later on - both across NUMA boundaries and within
NUMA boundaries for stream.

In case of Icelake machine, with single LLC per socket, pinning across
the two sockets reduces cache contention, thus showing great
improvement in pinned case which is further benefited by this patch.

The imbalance limitations are applied inconsistently at fork time
and at runtime. At fork, a new task can remain local until there are
too many running tasks even if the degree of imbalance is larger than
NUMA_IMBALANCE_MIN which is different to runtime. Secondly, the imbalance
figure used during load balancing is different to the one used at NUMA
placement. Load balancing uses the number of tasks that must move to
restore imbalance where as NUMA balancing uses the total imbalance.
In combination, it is possible for a parallel workload that uses a small
number of CPUs without applying scheduler policies to have very variable
run-to-run performance.

If a destination node has spare capacity but there is an imbalance then
two tasks are selected for swapping. If the tasks have no numa group
or are within the same NUMA group, it's simply shuffling tasks around
without having any impact on the compute imbalance. Instead, it's just
punishing one task to help another.

On clone, numa_migrate_retry is inherited from the parent which means
that the first NUMA placement of a task is non-deterministic. This
affects when load balancing recognises numa tasks and whether to

For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
just cleanups.
I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
The last change was merged May 4th.
Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.

With the change to init and the user mode helper processes to not have
PF_KTHREAD set before they call kernel_execve the PF_KTHREAD test in
task_tick_numa became insufficient to detect all tasks that have
"->mm == NULL". Correct that by testing for "->mm == NULL" directly.

It doesn't have any in-kernel users after the removal of the

We no longer need them as we can use DWARF debug info or BTF + pahole to
re-generate the required structs to compile against them for a given
kernel.
This moves the burden of maintaining these helper functions to the
module.
https://github.com/qais-yousef/sched_tp
Note that pahole v1.15 is required at least for using DWARF. And for BTF
v1.23 which is not yet released will be required. There's alignment
problem that will lead to crashes in earlier versions when used with
BTF.
We should have enough infrastructure to make these helper functions now
obsolete, so remove them.

Except the 'task has no contribution or is new' condition at the
beginning of cpu_util_without(), which it shares with the load and
runnable counterpart functions, a cpu_util_next(..., dst_cpu = -1)
call can replace the rest of it.
The UTIL_EST specific check that task util_est has to be subtracted
from the CPU one in case of an enqueued (or current (to cater for the
wakeup - lb race)) task has to be moved to cpu_util_next().
This was initially introduced by commit c469933e77
("sched/fair: Fix cpu_util_wake() for 'execl' type workloads").
UnixBench's `execl` throughput tests were run on the dual socket 40

The warning in cfs_rq_is_decayed() triggered:
SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->avg.load_avg ||
cfs_rq->avg.util_avg ||
cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg)
There exists a corner case in attach_entity_load_avg() which will
cause load_sum to be zero while load_avg will not be.
Consider se_weight is 88761 as per the sched_prio_to_weight[] table.
Further assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, this gives:
se->avg.load_avg is 1.
However, calculating load_sum:
se->avg.load_sum = div_u64(se->avg.load_avg * se->avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
se->avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.
Then enqueue_load_avg() adds this to the cfs_rq totals:
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg += se->avg.load_avg;
cfs_rq->avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se->avg.load_sum;
Resulting in load_avg being 1 with load_sum is 0, which will trigger
the WARN.

This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was
around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
making the semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.

The bug is that node_state() must be supplied a valid node_states[] array index,
but in task_numa_placement() the max_nid search can fail with NUMA_NO_NODE,
which is not a valid index.
Fix it by checking that max_nid is a valid index.

kernel/sched/sched.h is a weird mix of ad-hoc headers included
in the middle of the header.
Two of them rely on being included in the middle of kernel/sched/sched.h,
due to definitions they require:
- "stat.h" needs the rq definitions.
- "autogroup.h" needs the task_group definition.
Move the inclusion of these two files out of kernel/sched/sched.h, and

In a typical memory tiering system, there's no CPU in slow (PMEM) NUMA
nodes. But if the number of the hint page faults on a PMEM node is
the max for a task, The current NUMA balancing policy may try to place
the task on the PMEM node instead of DRAM node. This is unreasonable,
because there's no CPU in PMEM NUMA nodes. To fix this, CPU-less
nodes are ignored when searching the migration target node for a task
in this patch.
To test the patch, we run a workload that accesses more memory in PMEM
node than memory in DRAM node. Without the patch, the PMEM node will
be chosen as preferred node in task_numa_placement(). While the DRAM
node will be chosen instead with the patch.

The NUMA topology parameters (sched_numa_topology_type,
sched_domains_numa_levels, and sched_max_numa_distance, etc.)

In this system, there are only 2 sockets. In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed. Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex. Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3. And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type. But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.
This isn't a practical problem now yet. Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot. So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT. And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in. And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes. But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.
To test the potential problem. We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()). With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels: 4
sched_max_numa_distance: 28
To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified. Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.
With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels: 2
sched_max_numa_distance: 21

Commit 7d2b5dd0bc ("sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA
nodes") allowed an imbalance between NUMA nodes such that communicating
tasks would not be pulled apart by the load balancer. This works fine when
there is a 1:1 relationship between LLC and node but can be suboptimal
for multiple LLCs if independent tasks prematurely use CPUs sharing cache.
Zen* has multiple LLCs per node with local memory channels and due to
the allowed imbalance, it's far harder to tune some workloads to run
optimally than it is on hardware that has 1 LLC per node. This patch
allows an imbalance to exist up to the point where LLCs should be balanced
between nodes.
On a Zen3 machine running STREAM parallelised with OMP to have on instance
per LLC the results and without binding, the results are

There are inconsistencies when determining if a NUMA imbalance is allowed
that should be corrected.
o allow_numa_imbalance changes types and is not always examining
the destination group so both the type should be corrected as
well as the naming.
o find_idlest_group uses the sched_domain's weight instead of the
group weight which is different to find_busiest_group
o find_busiest_group uses the source group instead of the destination
which is different to task_numa_find_cpu
o Both find_idlest_group and find_busiest_group should account
for the number of running tasks if a move was allowed to be

He bisected the problem to:
commit 1c35b07e6d ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")
This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after
removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By
doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to
LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been
reflected in util_avg.
update_tg_cfs_util() is not the only place where we round util_sum and
lost some accumulated contributions that are not already reflected in
util_avg. Modify update_tg_cfs_util() and detach_entity_load_avg() to not
sync util_sum with the new util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to
the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization,
we propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum
always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been
observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.
Commit a07630b8b2 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.
The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).
For straightforwardness, prefer to keep using `int cpu` as the function
parameter over using `struct rq *rq` which might avoid some calls to
cpu_rq(cpu) -> per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) -> RELOC_HIDE().

capacity systems, the assumption was that the wakee couldn't have a
bigger utilization during task placement than it used to have during the
last activation. That was not considering uclamp.min which can completely
change between two task activations and as a consequence mandates the

Adds accounting for "forced idle" time, which is time where a cookie'd
task forces its SMT sibling to idle, despite the presence of runnable
tasks.
Forced idle time is one means to measure the cost of enabling core
scheduling (ie. the capacity lost due to the need to force idle).
Forced idle time is attributed to the thread responsible for causing
the forced idle.
A few details:
- Forced idle time is displayed via /proc/PID/sched. It also requires
that schedstats is enabled.
- Forced idle is only accounted when a sibling hyperthread is held
idle despite the presence of runnable tasks. No time is charged if
a sibling is idle but has no runnable tasks.
- Tasks with 0 cookie are never charged forced idle.
- For SMT > 2, we scale the amount of forced idle charged based on the
number of forced idle siblings. Additionally, we split the time up and
evenly charge it to all running tasks, as each is equally responsible
for the forced idle.

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.
His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.
Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.
When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.
To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see
it, as can be seen below:
CPU1: CPU2:
: timer IRQ:
: do_sched_cfs_period_timer():
: :
: distribute_cfs_runtime():
: rcu_read_lock();
: :
: unthrottle_cfs_rq():
sched_offline_group(): :
: walk_tg_tree_from(…,tg_unthrottle_up,…):
list_del_rcu(&tg->list); :
(1) : list_for_each_entry_rcu(child, &parent->children, siblings)
: :
(2) list_del_rcu(&tg->siblings); :
: tg_unthrottle_up():
unregister_fair_sched_group(): struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu_of(rq)];
: :
list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg->cfs_rq[cpu]); :
: :
: if (!cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq) || cfs_rq->nr_running)
(3) : list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);
: :
: :
: :
: :
: :
(4) : rcu_read_unlock();
CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(),
specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at
(1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from
still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink
all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in
unregister_fair_sched_group(). Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of
these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on.
To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until
walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e.
after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe
to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the
dying task group any more.
On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after
unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might
run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd
ones.
This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to
trigger within minutes before.

When deciding to pull tasks in ASYM_PACKING, it is necessary not only to
check for the idle state of the destination CPU, dst_cpu, but also of
its SMT siblings.
If dst_cpu is idle but its SMT siblings are busy, performance suffers
if it pulls tasks from a medium priority CPU that does not have SMT
siblings.
Implement asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() to inspect the state of the SMT
siblings of both dst_cpu and the CPUs in the candidate busiest group.

The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are
update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se)
The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is
used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In
order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass
the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly.
Then the new helpers are
update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct sched_statistics *stats)
which are independent of fair sched class.
To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when
!schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also
introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c,
__update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct sched_statistics *stats)
The size of vmlinux as follows,
Before After
Size of vmlinux 826308552 826304640
The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after
the change.
I also compared the sched performance with 'perf bench sched pipe',
suggested by Mel. The result as followsi (in usecs/op),
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.
After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,
struct task_struct {
...
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_rt_entity rt;
struct sched_dl_entity dl;
...
struct sched_statistics stats;
...
};
Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -
struct sched_entity_stats {
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_statistics stats;
} __no_randomize_layout;
Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.
The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.
As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5

Give reduced sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities. As a result, woken

The benefit of this change is to make it less likely that a newly woken

We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that
idle<->idle competition retains some fairness.
Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of

Consider a system with some NOHZ-idle CPUs, such that
nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S
nohz.next_balance = T
When a new CPU k goes NOHZ idle (nohz_balance_enter_idle()), we end up
with:
nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S \U {k}
nohz.next_balance = T
Note that the nohz.next_balance hasn't changed - it won't be updated until
a NOHZ balance is triggered. This is problematic if the newly NOHZ idle CPU
has an earlier rq.next_balance than the other NOHZ idle CPUs, IOW if:
cpu_rq(k).next_balance < nohz.next_balance
In such scenarios, the existing nohz.next_balance will prevent any NOHZ
balance from happening, which itself will prevent nohz.next_balance from
being updated to this new cpu_rq(k).next_balance. Unnecessary load balance
delays of over 12ms caused by this were observed on an arm64 RB5 board.
Use the new nohz.needs_update flag to mark the presence of newly-idle CPUs
that need their rq->next_balance to be collated into
nohz.next_balance. Trigger a NOHZ_NEXT_KICK when the flag is set.
