The comment in calculate_imbalance() was introduced in commit:
2dd73a4f09 ("[PATCH] sched: implement smpnice")
which described the logic as it was then, but a later commit:
b18855500f ("sched/balancing: Fix 'local->avg_load > sds->avg_load' case in calculate_imbalance()")
.. complicated this logic some more so that the comment does not match anymore.
Update the comment to match the code.

After cleaning up the sched metrics, there are two definitions that are
ambiguous and confusing: SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT.
Resolve this:
- Rename SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT to NICE_0_LOAD_SHIFT, which better reflects what
it is.
- Replace SCHED_LOAD_SCALE use with SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE and remove SCHED_LOAD_SCALE.

Integer metric needs fixed point arithmetic. In sched/fair, a few
metrics, e.g., weight, load, load_avg, util_avg, freq, and capacity,
may have different fixed point ranges, which makes their update and
usage error-prone.
In order to avoid the errors relating to the fixed point range, we
definie a basic fixed point range, and then formalize all metrics to
base on the basic range.
The basic range is 1024 or (1 << 10). Further, one can recursively
apply the basic range to have larger range.
Pointed out by Ben Segall, weight (visible to user, e.g., NICE-0 has
1024) and load (e.g., NICE_0_LOAD) have independent ranges, but they
must be well calibrated.

The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of
value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned,
without having any extra information.
This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and
requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the
cookie in context.

Chris Metcalf reported a that sched_can_stop_tick() sometimes fails to
re-enable the tick.
His observed problem is that rq->cfs.nr_running can be 1 even though
there are multiple runnable CFS tasks. This happens in the cgroup
case, in which case cfs.nr_running is the number of runnable entities
for that level.
If there is a single runnable cgroup (which can have an arbitrary
number of runnable child entries itself) rq->cfs.nr_running will be 1.
However, looking at that function I think there's more problems with it.
It seems to assume that if there's FIFO tasks, those will run. This is
incorrect. The FIFO task can have a lower prio than an RR task, in which
case the RR task will run.
So the whole fifo_nr_running test seems misplaced, it should go after
the rr_nr_running tests. That is, only if !rr_nr_running, can we use
fifo_nr_running like this.

I got a minus(very big) dl_b->total_bw during my deadline tests.
# grep dl /proc/sched_debug
dl_rq[0]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -222297900
Something unusual must have happened.
After some digging, I finally noticed that when changing a deadline
task to normal(cfs), and changing it back to deadline immediately,
after it died, we will got the wrong dl_bw->total_bw.
The root cause is in dl_overflow(), it has:
if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw)
return 0;
1) When a deadline task is changed to !deadline task, it will start
dl timer in switched_from_dl(), and retain previous deadline parameter
till the timer expires.
2) If we change it back to deadline with the same bandwidth parameter
before the timer expires, as it keeps the old bandwidth although it
is not a deadline task. dl_overflow() simply returns success without
updating the right data, and got the wrong dl_bw->total_bw.
The solution is simple, if @p is not deadline, don't return.

Some code in CPU load update only concern NO_HZ configs but it is
built on all configurations. When NO_HZ isn't built, that code is harmless
but just happens to take some useless ressources in CPU and memory:
1) one useless field in struct rq
2) jiffies record on every tick that is never used (cpu_load_update_periodic)
3) decay_load_missed is called two times on every tick to eventually
return immediately with no action taken. And that function is dead
code.
For pure optimization purposes, lets conditionally build the NO_HZ
related code.

Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask
mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic
mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz
subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state
"ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface
with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead
reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the
tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that.
If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the
CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario.
Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates:
cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it
assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that
cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that
happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function
just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long
idle periods behind.
In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the
previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a
task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period.
So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know
what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account
the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.
Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:
update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

When asymmetric packing is set in the sched_domain and target CPU is
busy, update_sd_pick_busiest() may not select the busiest runqueue.
When target CPU is busy, find_busiest_group() will ignore checks for
asym packing and may continue to load balance using the currently
selected not-the-busiest runqueue as source runqueue.
Selecting the busiest runqueue as source when the target CPU is busy,
should result in achieving much better load balance.
Also when target CPU is not busy and asymmetric packing is set in sd,
select higher CPU as source CPU for load balancing.
While doing this change, move the check to see if target CPU is busy
into check_asym_packing().
The extent of performance benefit from this change decreases with the
increasing load. However there is benefit in undercommit as well as
overcommit conditions.

The local_clock/cpu_clock functions were changed to prevent a double
identical test with sched_clock_cpu() when HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
is set. That resulted in one line functions.
As these functions are in all the cases one line functions and in the
hot path, it is useful to specify them as static inline in order to
give a strong hint to the compiler.
After verification, it appears the compiler does not inline them
without this hint. Change those functions to static inline.
sched_clock_cpu() is called via the inlined local_clock()/cpu_clock()
functions from sched.h. So any module code including sched.h will
reference sched_clock_cpu(). Thus it must be exported with the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro.

In case the HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK config is set, the cpu_clock() version
checks if sched_clock_stable() is not set and calls sched_clock_cpu(),
otherwise it calls sched_clock().
sched_clock_cpu() checks also if sched_clock_stable() is set and, if true,
calls sched_clock().
sched_clock() will be called in sched_clock_cpu() if sched_clock_stable() is
true.
Remove the duplicate test by directly calling sched_clock_cpu() and let the
static key act in this function instead.

Due to differences in the cpufreq core's handling of runtime CPU
offline and nonboot CPUs disabling during system suspend-to-RAM,
fast frequency switching gets disabled after a suspend-to-RAM and
resume cycle on all of the nonboot CPUs.
To prevent that from happening, move the invocation of
cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from cpufreq_exit_governor() to
sugov_exit(), as the schedutil governor is the only user of fast
frequency switching today anyway.
That simply prevents cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from being called
without invoking the ->governor callback for the CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT
event (which happens during system suspend now).

Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses
scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making
its decisions.
Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3 (cpufreq: Add
mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that
introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on
utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates.
In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on
the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS.
The new governor is relatively simple.
The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not
the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant
case the new CPU frequency is given by
next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max
where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util().
In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in
the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU:
next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max
The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at
(util / max) = 0.8.
All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update
handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is
used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other
one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need
to use any extra synchronization means).
The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported
by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy.
In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take
place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot
be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the
help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target()
(under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already
computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers).
Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as
"unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed
maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That
heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more
subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks.
The governor shares some tunables management code with the
"ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common
definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it
is stand-alone.

A new task's util_avg is set to full utilization of a CPU (100% time
running). This accelerates a new task's utilization ramp-up, useful to
boost its execution in early time. However, it may result in
(insanely) high utilization for a transient time period when a flood
of tasks are spawned. Importantly, it violates the "fundamentally
bounded" CPU utilization, and its side effect is negative if we don't
take any measure to bound it.
This patch proposes an algorithm to address this issue. It has
two methods to approach a sensible initial util_avg:
(1) An expected (or average) util_avg based on its cfs_rq's util_avg:
util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight
(2) A trajectory of how successive new tasks' util develops, which
gives 1/2 of the left utilization budget to a new task such that
the additional util is noticeably large (when overall util is low) or
unnoticeably small (when overall util is high enough). In the meantime,
the aggregate utilization is well bounded:
util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n
where n denotes the nth task.
If util_avg is larger than util_avg_cap, then the effective util is
clamped to the util_avg_cap.

As I'm tracing preemption disabled, it seemed incorrect that the trace
would go across a schedule and report not being in the scheduler.
Looking into this I discovered the problem.
schedule() calls preempt_disable() but the preempt_schedule() calls
preempt_enable_notrace(). What happened above was that the gnome-shell
task was preempted on another CPU, migrated over to the idle cpu. The
tracer stared with idle calling schedule(), which called
preempt_disable(), but then gnome-shell finished, and it enabled
preemption with preempt_enable_notrace() that does stop the trace, even
though preemption was enabled.
The purpose of the preempt_disable_notrace() in the preempt_schedule()
is to prevent function tracing from going into an infinite loop.
Because function tracing can trace the preempt_enable/disable() calls
that are traced. The problem with function tracing is:
NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule()
preempt_disable()
preempt_count_inc()
function trace (before incrementing preempt count)
preempt_disable_notrace()
preempt_enable_notrace()
sees NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule() (repeat)
Now by breaking out the preempt off/on tracing into their own code:
preempt_disable_check() and preempt_enable_check(), we can add these to
the preempt_schedule() code. As preemption would then be disabled, even
if they were to be traced by the function tracer, the disabled
preemption would prevent the recursion.

To force a task migration during active balancing, nr_balance_failed is set
to cache_nice_tries + 1. However nr_balance_failed is not reset. As a side
effect, the next regular load balance under the same sd, a cache hot task
might be migrated, just because nr_balance_failed count is high.
Resetting nr_balance_failed after a successful active balance ensures
that a hot task is not unreasonably migrated. This can be verified by
looking at othe number of hot task migrations reported by /proc/schedstat.

This patch functionally reverts:
5fd7a09cfb ("atomic: Export fetch_or()")
During the merge Linus observed that the generic version of fetch_or()
was messy:
" This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it. "
e23604edac Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Now that we have introduced atomic_fetch_or(), fetch_or() is only used
by the scheduler in order to deal with thread_info flags which type
can vary across architectures.
Lets confine fetch_or() back to the scheduler so that we encourage
future users to use the more robust and well typed atomic_t version
instead.
While at it, fetch_or() gets robustified, pasting improvements from a
previous patch by Ingo Molnar that avoids needless expression
re-evaluations in the loop.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

The name of the 'reset' parameter to cpuusage_write() is quite confusing,
because the only valid value we allow is '0', so !reset is actually the
case that resets ...
Rename it to 'val' and explain it in a comment that we only allow 0.

Pavan reported that in the presence of very light tasks (or cgroups)
the placement of migrated tasks can cause severe fairness issues.
The problem is that enqueue_entity() places the task before it updates
time, thereby it can place the task far in the past (remember that
light tasks will shoot virtual time forward at a high speed, so in
relation to the pre-existing light task, we can land far in the past).
This is done because update_curr() needs the current task, and we
might be placing the current task.
The obvious solution is to differentiate between the current and any
other task; placing the current before we update time, and placing any
other task after, such that !curr tasks end up at the current moment
in time, and not in the past.

The CPU controller hasn't kept up with the various changes in the whole
cgroup initialization / destruction sequence, and commit:
2e91fa7f6d ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups")
caused it to explode.
The reason for this is that zombies do not inhibit css_offline() from
being called, but do stall css_released(). Now we tear down the cfs_rq
structures on css_offline() but zombies can run after that, leading to
use-after-free issues.
The solution is to move the tear-down to css_released(), which
guarantees nobody (including no zombies) is still using our cgroup.
Furthermore, a few simple cleanups are possible too. There doesn't
appear to be any point to us using css_online() (anymore?) so fold that
in css_alloc().
And since cgroup code guarantees an RCU grace period between
css_released() and css_free() we can forgo using call_rcu() and free the
stuff immediately.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
- The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
most related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
verify and extend.
- Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
- cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
- There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
significant.
First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The
"old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.
Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data
structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of
governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
(particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).
In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and
cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.
In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.
Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
ACPI tables from initrd.
Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

- Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poision prior to returning.
In the case of CPU hotplug, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep
in C code. Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.
When a CPU is subsequently brought back into the kernel via a different
path, depending on stackframe, layout calls to instrumented functions
may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN splats to the
console.
To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.

Pull nohz enhancements from Frederic Weisbecker:
"Currently in nohz full configs, the tick dependency is checked
asynchronously by nohz code from interrupt and context switch for each
concerned subsystem with a set of function provided by these. Such
functions are made of many conditions and details that can be heavyweight
as they are called on fastpath: sched_can_stop_tick(),
posix_cpu_timer_can_stop_tick(), perf_event_can_stop_tick()...
Thomas suggested a few months ago to make that tick dependency check
synchronous. Instead of checking subsystems details from each interrupt
to guess if the tick can be stopped, every subsystem that may have a tick
dependency should set itself a flag specifying the state of that
dependency. This way we can verify if we can stop the tick with a single
lightweight mask check on fast path.
This conversion from a pull to a push model to implement tick dependency
is the core feature of this patchset that is split into:
* Nohz wide kick simplification
* Improve nohz tracing
* Introduce tick dependency mask
* Migrate scheduler, posix timers, perf events and sched clock tick
dependencies to the tick dependency mask."

The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return
whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not.
Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in
units of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs
depending on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN.
If cputime has nsecs granularity and there is a tiny amount of
stolen time (a few nsecs, say) then we will consider the entire
tick stolen and will not account the tick on user/system/idle,
causing /proc/stats to show invalid data.
The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to accumulate
the stolen time and only account it once it's worth a jiffy.

first version of the patch.)

The dl_new field of struct sched_dl_entity is currently used to
identify new deadline tasks, so that their deadline and runtime
can be properly initialised.
However, these tasks can be easily identified by checking if
their deadline is smaller than the current time when they switch
to SCHED_DEADLINE. So, dl_new can be removed by introducing this
check in switched_to_dl(); this allows to simplify the
SCHED_DEADLINE code.

On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:
u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());
steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;
So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat
become stale.
Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.
None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.
Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
sched tick dependency, migrate sched to the new mask.
Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the
tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by
order of priority:
SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime
SCHED_FIFO : Don't need the tick (no round-robin)
SCHED_RR : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority
for round robin (simplified with checking if more than
one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority).
SCHED_NORMAL : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin.
We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick
dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy
concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation.
Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get
rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu
timers.

The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller
in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for
its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct
caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines
those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or
local_bh_disable().
This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries
CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function.
This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for
preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or
local_bh_disable().
Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename.

When profiling syscall overhead on nohz-full kernels,
after removing __acct_update_integrals() from the profile,
native_sched_clock() remains as the top CPU user. This can be
reduced by moving VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity.
This will reduce timing accuracy on nohz_full CPUs to jiffy
based sampling, just like on normal CPUs. It results in
totally removing native_sched_clock from the profile, and

Additionally, only call the more expensive functions (and
advance the seqlock) when jiffies actually changed.
This code relies on another CPU advancing jiffies when the
system is busy. On a nohz_full system, this is done by a
housekeeping CPU.

I've been debugging why deadline tasks can cause the RT scheduler to
throttle, even when the deadline tasks are only taking up 50% of the
CPU and RT tasks are not even using 1% of the CPU. Here's what I found.
In order to keep a CPU from being hogged by RT tasks, the deadline
scheduler adds its run time (delta_exec) to the rt_time of the RT
bandwidth. That way, if the two use more than 95% of the CPU within one
second (default settings), the RT tasks are throttled to allow non RT
tasks to run.
Although the deadline tasks add their run time to the RT bandwidth, it
lets the RT tasks do the accounting. This is where the problem lies. If
a deadline task runs for a bit, and no RT tasks are running, then it
will continually add to the RT rt_time that is used to calculate how
much CPU the RT tasks use. But no RT period is in play, and this
accumulation of the runtime never gets reset.
When an RT task finally gets to run, and the watchdog goes off, it can
see that the RT task has used more than it should of, because the
deadline task added all this runtime to its rt_time. Then the RT task
that just woke up gets throttled for no good reason.
I also noticed that when an RT task is queued, it starts the timer to
account for overload and such. But that timer goes off one period
later, which may be too late and the extra rt_time will trigger a
throttle.
This is a quick work around to the problem. When a new RT task is
queued, the bandwidth timer is set to go off immediately. Then the
timer can clear out the extra time added to the rt_time while there was
no RT task running. This stops my tests from triggering the throttle,
and it will still throttle if an RT task runs too much, even while a
deadline task is running.
A better solution may be to subtract the bandwidth that the deadline
task uses from the rt_runtime, and add it back when its finished. Then
there wont be a need for runtime tracking of the time used by deadline
tasks.
I may play with that solution tomorrow.

Playing with SCHED_DEADLINE and cpusets, I found that I was unable to create
new SCHED_DEADLINE tasks, with the error of EBUSY as if the bandwidth was
already used up. I then realized there wa no way to see what bandwidth is
used by the runqueues to debug the issue.
By adding the dl_bw->bw and dl_bw->total_bw to the output of the deadline
info in /proc/sched_debug, this allows us to see what bandwidth has been
reserved and where a problem may exist.
For example, before the issue we see the ratio of the bandwidth:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
950000
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
1000000
# grep dl /proc/sched_debug
dl_rq[0]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147

.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
dl_rq[7]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
Note: (950000 / 1000000) << 20 == 996147
After I played with cpusets and hit the issue, the result is now:
# grep dl /proc/sched_debug
dl_rq[0]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -104857

This shows that there is definitely a problem as we should never have a

So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which
would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path
we fail to do so.
So this was introduced at around v3.14, by:
c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy.
Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it
preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling
the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list.
In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE,
introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these
cases to preserve other invariants.
Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that
things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder
FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).

Steven noticed that occasionally a sched_yield() call would not result
in a wait for the next period edge as expected.
It turns out that when we call update_curr_dl() and end up with
delta_exec <= 0, we will bail early and fail to throttle.
Further inspection of the yield code revealed that yield_task_dl()
clearing dl.runtime is wrong too, it will not account the last bit of
runtime which could result in dl.runtime < 0, which in turn means that
replenish would gift us with too much runtime.
Fix both issues by not relying on the dl.runtime value for yield.

When a cgroup's CPU runqueue is destroyed, it should remove its
remaining load accounting from its parent cgroup.
The current site for doing so it unsuited because its far too late and
unordered against other cgroup removal (->css_free() will be, but we're also
in an RCU callback).
Put it in the ->css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup
destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to
userspace. The ->css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order
after the following v4.4 commit:

kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x7fd: frame pointer state mismatch
kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x421: frame pointer state mismatch
Basically it's confused by two unusual attributes of the switch_to()
macro:
1. It saves prev's frame pointer to the old stack and restores next's
frame pointer from the new stack.
2. For new tasks it jumps directly to ret_from_fork.
Eventually it would probably be a good idea to clean up the
ret_from_fork hack so that new tasks are created with a valid initial
stack, as suggested by Andy:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrWsqCw4L1qKO9j9L5F+4ED4viuLQTFc=n1pKBZfFPQUFg@mail.gmail.com
Then __schedule() could return normally into the new code and objtool
hopefully wouldn't have a problem anymore.
In the meantime, mark its stack frame as non-standard so we can have a
baseline with no objtool warnings. The marker also serves as a reminder
that this code could be improved a bit.

The existing wait queue support has support for custom wake up call
backs, wake flags, wake key (passed to call back) and exclusive
flags that allow wakers to be tagged as exclusive, for limiting
the number of wakers.
In a lot of cases, none of these features are used, and hence we
can benefit from a slimmed down version that lowers memory overhead
and reduces runtime overhead.
The concept originated from -rt, where waitqueues are a constant
source of trouble, as we can't convert the head lock to a raw
spinlock due to fancy and long lasting callbacks.
With the removal of custom callbacks, we can use a raw lock for
queue list manipulations, hence allowing the simple wait support
to be used in -rt.

The pseudo-interleaving in NUMA placement has a fundamental problem:
using hard usage thresholds to spread memory equally between nodes
can prevent workloads from converging, or keep memory "trapped" on
nodes where the workload is barely running any more.
In order for workloads to properly converge, the memory migration
should not be stopped when nodes reach parity, but instead be
distributed according to how heavily memory is used from each node.
This way memory migration and task migration reinforce each other,
instead of one putting the brakes on the other.
Remove the hard thresholds from the pseudo-interleaving code, and
instead use a more gradual policy on memory placement. This also
seems to improve convergence of workloads that do not run flat out,
but sleep in between bursts of activity.
We still want to slow down NUMA scanning and migration once a workload
has settled on a few actively used nodes, so keep the 3/4 hysteresis
in place. Keep track of whether a workload is actively running on
multiple nodes, so task_numa_migrate does a full scan of the system
for better task placement.
In the case of running 3 SPECjbb2005 instances on a 4 node system,
this code seems to result in fairer distribution of memory between
nodes, with more memory bandwidth for each instance.

[ Minor readability tweaks. ]

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.
The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.
These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

The isolcpus= kernel boot parameter restricts userspace from scheduling on
the specified CPUs.
If a CPU is specified that is outside the range of 0 to nr_cpu_ids,
cpulist_parse() will return -ERANGE, return an empty cpulist, and
fail silently.
This patch adds an error message to isolated_cpu_setup() to indicate to
the user that something has gone awry, and returns 0 on error.

As commit 1effd9f193 ("sched/numa: Fix unsafe get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign()") points out, the rcu_read_lock() cannot protect the
task_struct from being freed in the finish_task_switch(). And the bug
happens in the process of calculation of imp which requires the access of
p->numa_faults being freed in the following path:
do_exit()
current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
release_task()
~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
schedule()
...
...
rq->curr = next;
context_switch()
finish_task_switch()
put_task_struct()
__put_task_struct()
task_numa_free()
The fix here to get_task_struct() early before end of dst_rq->lock to
protect the calculation process and also put_task_struct() in the
corresponding point if finally the dst_rq->curr somehow cannot be
assigned.
Additional credit to Liang Chen who helped fix the error logic and add the
put_task_struct() to the place it missed.

Commit 51164251f5 "sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback
from call_cpuidle()" made find_deepest_state() return non-negative
value and check all the states with index > 0. Also as a result,
find_deepest_state() returns 0 even when enter_freeze callbacks are not
implemented and enter_freeze_proper() is called which ends up crashing
the kernel.
This patch updates the check for index > 0 in cpuidle_enter_freeze and
cpuidle_idle_call(when idle_should_freeze is true) to restore the
suspend-to-idle functionality in absence of enter_freeze callback.

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
and some new material as well.
From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
already beforehand. Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
didn't make it before (due to timing).
A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
drivers depending on it.
Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

- Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices

been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top

cpuidle: Default to ladder governor on ticking systems
time: nohz: Expose tick_nohz_enabled
cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0
After commit 9c4b2867ed (cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) it is clear that menu_select()
cannot return negative values. Moreover, ladder_select_state()
will never return a negative value too, so make find_deepest_state()
return non-negative values too and drop the default_idle_call()
fallback from call_cpuidle().
This eliminates one branch from the idle loop and makes the governors
and find_deepest_state() handle the case when all states have been
disabled from sysfs consistently.

The following PowerPC commit:
c118baf802 ("arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: do not allocate bootmem memory for non existing nodes")
avoids allocating bootmem memory for non existent nodes.
But when DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y is enabled, my powerNV system failed to boot
because in sched_init_numa(), cpumask_or() operation was done on
unallocated nodes.
Fix that by making cpumask_or() operation only on existing nodes.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a
devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type.
Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the
discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and
only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the
moment.
- The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is
relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt
is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface.
- Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to
enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual
netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in
the said branch.

If a newly created task is selected to go to a different CPU in fork
balance when it wakes up the first time, its load averages should
not be removed from the source CPU since they are never added to
it before. The same is also applicable to a never used group entity.
Fix it in remove_entity_load_avg(): when entity's last_update_time
is 0, simply return. This should precisely identify the case in
question, because in other migrations, the last_update_time is set
to 0 after remove_entity_load_avg().

earliest_dl.next should cache deadline of the earliest ready task that
is also enqueued in the pushable rbtree, as pull algorithm uses this
information to find candidates for migration: if the earliest_dl.next
deadline of source rq is earlier than the earliest_dl.curr deadline of
destination rq, the task from the source rq can be pulled.
However, current implementation only guarantees that earliest_dl.next is
the deadline of the next ready task instead of the next pushable task;
which will result in potentially holding both rqs' lock and find nothing
to migrate because of affinity constraints. In addition, current logic
doesn't update the next candidate for pushing in pick_next_task_dl(),
even if the running task is never eligible.
This patch fixes both problems by updating earliest_dl.next when
pushable dl task is enqueued/dequeued, similar to what we already do for
RT.

The most likely effect of this bug are bad load average numbers
resulting in weird scheduling. It's also likely that this can
persist for a longer time - until the system goes idle for

"More change than I'd have liked at this stage. The pids controller

- Assigning membership to a newly created task and migrating it can
race leading to incorrect accounting. Oleg fixed it by widening
threadgroup synchronization. It looks like we'll be able to merge
it with a different percpu rwsem which is used in fork path making
things simpler and cheaper.
- The recent change to extend cgroup membership to zombies (so that
pid accounting can extend till the pid is actually released) missed
pinning the underlying data structures leading to use-after-free.
Fixed.
- v2 hierarchy was calling subsystem callbacks with the wrong target
cgroup_subsys_state based on the incorrect assumption that they

touch_softlockup_watchdog() is used to tell watchdog that scheduler
stall is expected. One group of usage is from paths where the task
may not be able to yield for a long time such as performing slow PIO
to finicky device and coming out of suspend. The other is to account
for scheduler and timer going idle.
For scheduler softlockup detection, there's no reason to distinguish
the two cases; however, workqueue lockup detector is planned and it
can use the same signals from the former group while the latter would
spuriously prevent detection. This patch introduces a new function
touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() and convert the latter group to call
it instead. For now, it just calls touch_softlockup_watchdog() and
there's no functional difference.

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree
3b13758f51 ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid")
conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending
fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes.
1f7dd3e5a6 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling")
The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and
updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it
can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter
drops @css from cgrp_attach().
Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid()
with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in
cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is
only one target css during migration, this is fine.

We need the scheduler's fastpaths to be, well, fast, and unnecessarily
disabling and re-enabling interrupts is not necessarily consistent with
this goal. Especially given that there are regions of the scheduler that
already have interrupts disabled.
This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_note_context_switch()
to one of the interrupts-disabled regions of the scheduler, and
removes the now-redundant disabling and re-enabling of interrupts from
rcu_note_context_switch() and the functions it calls.

5.24% 5.04% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_shares
In particular, the high CPU time consumed by update_cfs_shares()
was mostly due to contention on the cacheline that contained the
task_group's load_avg statistical counter. This cacheline may also
contains variables like shares, cfs_rq & se which are accessed rather
frequently during clock tick processing.
This patch moves the load_avg variable into another cacheline
separated from the other frequently accessed variables. It also
creates a cacheline aligned kmemcache for task_group to make sure
that all the allocated task_group's are cacheline aligned.
By doing so, the perf profile became:
9.44% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
8.74% 0.01% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] hrtimer_interrupt

5.94% 1.74% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] task_tick_fair
4.15% 3.92% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_shares
The %cpu time is still pretty high, but it is better than before. The

After patch - Max-jOPs: 916011 Critical-jOps: 142366

Part of the responsibility of the update_sg_lb_stats() function is to
update the idle_cpus statistical counter in struct sg_lb_stats. This
check is done by calling idle_cpu(). The idle_cpu() function, in
turn, checks a number of fields within the run queue structure such
as rq->curr and rq->nr_running.
With the current layout of the run queue structure, rq->curr and
rq->nr_running are in separate cachelines. The rq->curr variable is
checked first followed by nr_running. As nr_running is also accessed
by update_sg_lb_stats() earlier, it makes no sense to load another
cacheline when nr_running is not 0 as idle_cpu() will always return
false in this case.
This patch eliminates this redundant cacheline load by checking the
cached nr_running before calling idle_cpu().

When building a kernel with a gcc 6 snapshot the compiler complains
about unused const static variables for prio_to_weight and prio_to_mult
for multiple scheduler files (all but core.c and autogroup.c)
The way the array is currently declared it will be duplicated in
every scheduler file that includes sched.h, which seems rather wasteful.
Move the array out of line into core.c. I also added a sched_ prefix
to avoid any potential name space collisions.

Readers need to know if vtime runs at all on some CPU somewhere, this
is a fast-path check to determine if we need to check further the need
to add up any tickless cputime delta.
This fast path check uses context tracking state because vtime is tied
to context tracking as of now. This check appears to be confusing though
so lets use a vtime function that deals with context tracking details
in vtime implementation instead.

When a task runs on a housekeeper (a CPU running with the periodic tick
with neighbours running tickless), it doesn't account cputime using vtime
but relies on the tick. Such a task has its vtime_snap_whence value set
to VTIME_INACTIVE.
Readers won't handle that correctly though. As long as vtime is running
on some CPU, readers incorretly assume that vtime runs on all CPUs and
always compute the tickless cputime delta, which is only junk on
housekeepers.
So lets fix this with checking that the target runs on a vtime CPU through
the appropriate state check before computing the tickless delta.

VTIME_SLEEPING state happens either when:
1) The task is sleeping and no tickless delta is to be added on the task
cputime stats.
2) The CPU isn't running vtime at all, so the same properties of 1) applies.
Lets rename the vtime symbol to reflect both states.

don't need to get deltas of utime and stime under vtime seqlock.
This patch removes that cost with adding a shortcut route if vtime

The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair
class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a
task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair
class.
This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly
read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq,
ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time.
These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from
one another, so there is a definite bound on things.

/proc/stats shows invalid gtime when the thread is running in guest.
When vtime accounting is not enabled, we cannot get a valid delta.
The delta is calculated with now - tsk->vtime_snap, but tsk->vtime_snap
is only updated when vtime accounting is runtime enabled.
This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime without computing the
buggy non-existing tickless delta when vtime accounting is not enabled.
Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on
some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless delta. This
way we fix the gtime value regression on machines not running nohz full.
The kernel config contains CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=n and boot without nohz_full.
I ran and stop a busy loop in VM and see the gtime in host.
Dump the 43rd field which shows the gtime in every second:
# while :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/3955/task/4014/stat; sleep 1; done

root_domain::rto_mask allocated through alloc_cpumask_var()
contains garbage data, this may cause problems. For instance,
When doing pull_rt_task(), it may do useless iterations if
rto_mask retains some extra garbage bits. Worse still, this
violates the isolated domain rule for clustered scheduling
using cpuset, because the tasks(with all the cpus allowed)
belongs to one root domain can be pulled away into another
root domain.
The patch cleans the garbage by using zalloc_cpumask_var()
instead of alloc_cpumask_var() for root_domain::rto_mask
allocation, thereby addressing the issues.
Do the same thing for root_domain's other cpumask memembers:

Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- B
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.
The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated. All controllers are
updated accordingly.
* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf,
netclassid and netprio fall in this category.
* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The
only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
is obtained.
* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.
* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

The comment describing migrate_task_rq_fair() says that the caller
should hold p->pi_lock. But in some cases the caller can hold
task_rq(p)->lock instead of p->pi_lock. So the comment is broken and
this patch fixes it.

At present scheduler resets task's wait start timestamp when the task
migrates to another rq. This misleads scheduler itself into reporting
less wait time than actual by omitting time spent for waiting prior to
migration and also more wait count than actual by counting migration as
wait end event which can be seen by trace or /proc/<pid>/sched with
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y.
Carry forward migrating task's wait time prior to migration and
don't count migration as a wait end event to fix such statistics error.
In order to determine whether task is migrating mark task->on_rq with
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while dequeuing and enqueuing due to migration.

There is a fundamental mismatch between the runtime based NUMA scanning
at the task level, and the wall clock time NUMA scanning at the mm level.
On a severely overloaded system, with very large processes, this mismatch
can cause the system to spend all of its time in change_prot_numa().
This can happen if the task spends at least two ticks in change_prot_numa(),
and only gets two ticks of CPU time in the real time between two scan
intervals of the mm.
This patch ensures that a task never spends more than 3% of run
time scanning PTEs. It does that by ensuring that in-between
task_numa_work() runs, the task spends at least 32x as much time on
other things than it did on task_numa_work().
This is done stochastically: if a timer tick happens, or the task
gets rescheduled during task_numa_work(), we delay a future run of
task_numa_work() until the task has spent at least 32x the amount of
CPU time doing something else, as it spent inside task_numa_work().
The longer task_numa_work() takes, the more likely it is this happens.
If task_numa_work() takes very little time, chances are low that that
code will do anything, but we will not care.

Usually the tick can be stopped for an idle CPU in NOHZ. However in NOHZ_FULL
mode, a non-idle CPU's tick can also be stopped. However, update_cpu_load_nohz()
does not consider the case a non-idle CPU's tick has been stopped at all.
This patch makes the update_cpu_load_nohz() know if the calling path comes
from NOHZ_FULL or idle NOHZ.
