72f9f3fdc9 sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity
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.

f904f58263 sched/debug: Fix preempt_disable_ip recording for preempt_disable()
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.

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).

cb2517653f sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
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.

In constract, this shows a relatively steady 2-3% gain at higher thread
counts. Due to the nature of the patch and the type of workload, it's
not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

it's close to the noise. The UMA machine did not show anything particularly
different

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.

c6d308534a UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB).  Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB.  If check fails (i.e.  UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.

So the most of the work is done by compiler.  This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.

GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

[1] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html
[2] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html

On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an
OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A
typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of
memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to
prevent this from happening.

This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above
which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting
them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may
be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system
against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing
pipes to work correctly though with less data at once.

The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and
pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The
default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024)
to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB
before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited
to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB =
1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by
default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use
of pipes (eg: for splicing).

712f4aad40 unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets
It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than
the process' limit by sending them over a unix socket then closing them
to keep the process' fd count low.

This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs
in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having
more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.

570f52412a sched/core: Check tgid in is_global_init()
Our global init task can have sub-threads, so ->pid check is not reliable
enough for is_global_init(), we need to check tgid instead. This has been
spotted by Oleg and a fix was proposed by Richard a long time ago (see the
link below).

Oleg wrote:

  : Because is_global_init() is only true for the main thread of /sbin/init.
  :
  : Just look at oom_unkillable_task(). It tries to not kill init. But, say,
  : select_bad_process() can happily find a sub-thread of is_global_init()
  : and still kill it.

I recently hit the problem in question; re-sending the patch (to the
best of my knowledge it has never been submitted) with updated function
comment. Credit goes to Oleg and Richard.

03e0d4610b watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()
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.

1) The task is sleeping and no tickless delta is to be added on the task

2) The CPU isn't running vtime at all, so the same properties of 1) applies.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
  notable for what it does not contain, than what it does.  There were a
  handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
  fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
  for 4.5.

  The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
  -next for several weeks.  The hot-add support has not, but is
  contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests.  The coredump
  support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff.  All of it has
  received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process

5037835c1f coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumps
Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to
allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings.  This is desirable because
DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very
large.

Update the coredump_filter documentation in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX
coredump flags.  Also update the documented default value of
coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page.  The
documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which
is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the
kernel config.  This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF
binaries and coredump are enabled.

be0e6f290f signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()
1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This
   matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper.

2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current
   and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current.

3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks
   potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we
   change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL.

4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

2e01fabe67 signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals().  Just for example,

1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
   multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
   group stop.

2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
   will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
   SIGKILL.

And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.

b23afb93d3 memcg: punt high overage reclaim to return-to-userland path
Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped.  If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit.  This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /".  slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.

This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path.  If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.

As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.

- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
  gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.

- It copes with prio inversion.  Previously, a low-prio task with
  small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
  locks held.  If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
  would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
  released the locks.  By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
  path this issue can be avoided.

626ebc4100 memcg: flatten task_struct->memcg_oom
task_struct->memcg_oom is a sub-struct containing fields which are used
for async memcg oom handling.  Most task_struct fields aren't packaged
this way and it can lead to unnecessary alignment paddings.  This patch
flattens it.

* task.memcg_oom.memcg          -> task.memcg_in_oom
* task.memcg_oom.gfp_mask	-> task.memcg_oom_gfp_mask
* task.memcg_oom.order          -> task.memcg_oom_order
* task.memcg_oom.may_oom        -> task.memcg_may_oom

In addition, task.memcg_may_oom is relocated to where other bitfields are
which reduces the size of task_struct.

ac1f591249 kernel/watchdog.c: add sysctl knob hardlockup_panic
The only way to enable a hardlockup to panic the machine is to set
'nmi_watchdog=panic' on the kernel command line.

This makes it awkward for end users and folks who want to run automate
tests (like myself).

Mimic the softlockup_panic knob and create a /proc/sys/kernel/hardlockup_panic

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:

   - percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated.  This was
     temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues.  Oleg's
     rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
     merge window resolves the issue.

   - On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
     operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly.  This allows
     ->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.

   - Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
     until released.  This allows tracking resources held by zombies
     (e.g.  pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
     on the v2 hierarchy.  The pids controller was broken before these
     changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
     behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
     a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
     first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
     at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

c8d75aa47d posix_cpu_timer: Reduce unnecessary sighand lock contention
It was found while running a database workload on large systems that
significant time was spent trying to acquire the sighand lock.

The issue was that whenever an itimer expired, many threads ended up
simultaneously trying to send the signal. Most of the time, nothing
happened after acquiring the sighand lock because another thread
had just already sent the signal and updated the "next expire" time.
The fastpath_timer_check() didn't help much since the "next expire"
time was updated after the threads exit fastpath_timer_check().

This patch addresses this by having the thread_group_cputimer structure
maintain a boolean to signify when a thread in the group is already
checking for process wide timers, and adds extra logic in the fastpath
to check the boolean.

aaac3ba95e bpf: charge user for creation of BPF maps and programs
since eBPF programs and maps use kernel memory consider it 'locked' memory
from user accounting point of view and charge it against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit.
This limit is typically set to 64Kbytes by distros, so almost all
bpf+tracing programs would need to increase it, since they use maps,
but kernel charges maximum map size upfront.
For example the hash map of 1024 elements will be charged as 64Kbyte.
It's inconvenient for current users and changes current behavior for root,
but probably worth doing to be consistent root vs non-root.

Similar accounting logic is done by mmap of perf_event.

609ca06638 sched/core: Create preempt_count invariant
Assuming units of PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET for preempt_count() numbers.

Now that TASK_DEAD no longer results in preempt_count() == 3 during
scheduling, we will always call context_switch() with preempt_count()
== 2.

However, we don't always end up with preempt_count() == 2 in
finish_task_switch() because new tasks get created with
preempt_count() == 1.

Create FORK_PREEMPT_COUNT and set it to 2 and use that in the right
places. Note that we cannot use INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT as that serves
another purpose (boot).

After this, preempt_count() is invariant across the context switch,
with exception of PREEMPT_ACTIVE.

87dcbc0610 sched/core: Simplify INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT
As per the following commit:

  d86ee4809d ("sched: optimize cond_resched()")

we need PREEMPT_ACTIVE to avoid cond_resched() from working before
the scheduler is set up.

However, keeping preemption disabled should do the same thing
already, making the PREEMPT_ACTIVE part entirely redundant.

The only complication is !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, where
PREEMPT_DISABLED ends up being 0. Instead we use an unconditional
PREEMPT_OFFSET to set preempt_count() even on !PREEMPT_COUNT
kernels.

8203d6d0ee rcu: Use single-stage IPI algorithm for RCU expedited grace period
The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running
in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the
->blkd_tasks lists to drain.  This works, but results in both an IPI and
a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running
in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section.

This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter.
This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an
RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs.  If a CPU receiving
this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or
is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree,
otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost
rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree.

The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked
readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on
the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods.  This
new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state,
courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to
the root rcu_node structure.

1ed1328792 sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem
Note: This commit was originally committed as d59cfc09c3 but got
      reverted by 0c986253b9 due to the performance regression from
      the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task
      migration path.  percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the
      performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window.
      Re-apply.

The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem
to synchronize against threadgroup changes.  This per-process rwsem
adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces
cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple
places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across
multiple processes.

This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global
percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader
side and contained in cgroups proper.  This patch converts one-to-one.

This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however,
cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize
thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take
enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

0c986253b9 Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"
This reverts commit d59cfc09c3.

d59cfc09c3 ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.

e3279a2e6d sched/fair: Make utilization tracking CPU scale-invariant
Besides the existing frequency scale-invariance correction factor, apply
CPU scale-invariance correction factor to utilization tracking to
compensate for any differences in compute capacity. This could be due to
micro-architectural differences (i.e. instructions per seconds) between
cpus in HMP systems (e.g. big.LITTLE), and/or differences in the current
maximum frequency supported by individual cpus in SMP systems. In the
existing implementation utilization isn't comparable between cpus as it
is relative to the capacity of each individual CPU.

Each segment of the sched_avg.util_sum geometric series is now scaled
by the CPU performance factor too so the sched_avg.util_avg of each
sched entity will be invariant from the particular CPU of the HMP/SMP
system on which the sched entity is scheduled.

With this patch, the utilization of a CPU stays relative to the max CPU
performance of the fastest CPU in the system.

In contrast to utilization (sched_avg.util_sum), load
(sched_avg.load_sum) should not be scaled by compute capacity. The
utilization metric is based on running time which only makes sense when
cpus are _not_ fully utilized (utilization cannot go beyond 100% even if
more tasks are added), where load is runnable time which isn't limited
by the capacity of the CPU and therefore is a better metric for
overloaded scenarios. If we run two nice-0 busy loops on two cpus with
different compute capacity their load should be similar since their
compute demands are the same. We have to assume that the compute demand
of any task running on a fully utilized CPU (no spare cycles = 100%
utilization) is high and the same no matter of the compute capacity of
its current CPU, hence we shouldn't scale load by CPU capacity.

e0f5f3afd2 sched/fair: Make load tracking frequency scale-invariant
Apply frequency scaling correction factor to per-entity load tracking to
make it frequency invariant. Currently, load appears bigger when the CPU
is running slower which affects load-balancing decisions.

Each segment of the sched_avg.load_sum geometric series is now scaled by
the current frequency so that the sched_avg.load_avg of each sched entity
will be invariant from frequency scaling.

Moreover, cfs_rq.runnable_load_sum is scaled by the current frequency as
well.

d950c9477d mm: defer flush of writable TLB entries
If a PTE is unmapped and it's dirty then it was writable recently.  Due to
deferred TLB flushing, it's best to assume a writable TLB cache entry
exists.  With that assumption, the TLB must be flushed before any IO can
start or the page is freed to avoid lost writes or data corruption.  This
patch defers flushing of potentially writable TLBs as long as possible.

72b252aed5 mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs.  There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.

On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high.  This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped.  When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.

Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.

        If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
        architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
        from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.

This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting.  The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.  An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required.  It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.

The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure.  The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite.  The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time.  From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.

The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.

The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages.  It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes.  Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

25834c73f9 sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()
Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:

	__kthread_bind()
	  do_set_cpus_allowed()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.

This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

9d89c257df sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking
The idea of runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to weight)
was proposed by Paul Turner and Ben Segall, and it is still followed by
this rewrite. This rewrite aims to solve the following issues:

1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is
   updated at the granularity of an entity at a time, which results in the
   cfs_rq's load average is stale or partially updated: at any time, only
   one entity is up to date, all other entities are effectively lagging
   behind. This is undesirable.

   To illustrate, if we have n runnable entities in the cfs_rq, as time
   elapses, they certainly become outdated:

     t0: cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_old, ..., en_old }

   and when we update:

     t1: update e1, then we have cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_old, ..., en_old }

     t2: update e2, then we have cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_new, ..., en_old }

     ...

   We solve this by combining all runnable entities' load averages together
   in cfs_rq's avg, and update the cfs_rq's avg as a whole. This is based
   on the fact that if we regard the update as a function, then:

   w * update(e) = update(w * e) and

   update(e1) + update(e2) = update(e1 + e2), then

   w1 * update(e1) + w2 * update(e2) = update(w1 * e1 + w2 * e2)

   therefore, by this rewrite, we have an entirely updated cfs_rq at the
   time we update it:

     t1: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new }

     t2: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new }

     ...

2. cfs_rq's load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other
   task_group's per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average
   contributes to the load.

   The basic idea behind runnable load average (the same for utilization)
   is that the blocked state is taken into account as opposed to only
   accounting for the currently runnable state. Therefore, the average
   should include both the runnable/running and blocked load averages.
   This rewrite does that.

   In addition, we also combine runnable/running and blocked averages
   of all entities into the cfs_rq's average, and update it together at
   once. This is based on the fact that:

     update(runnable) + update(blocked) = update(runnable + blocked)

   This significantly reduces the code as we don't need to separately
   maintain/update runnable/running load and blocked load.

3. How task_group entities' share is calculated is complex and imprecise.

   We reduce the complexity in this rewrite to allow a very simple rule:
   the task_group's load_avg is aggregated from its per CPU cfs_rqs's
   load_avgs. Then group entity's weight is simply proportional to its
   own cfs_rq's load_avg / task_group's load_avg. To illustrate,

   if a task_group has { cfs_rq1, cfs_rq2, ..., cfs_rqn }, then,

   task_group_avg = cfs_rq1_avg + cfs_rq2_avg + ... + cfs_rqn_avg, then

   cfs_rqx's entity's share = cfs_rqx_avg / task_group_avg * task_group's share

To sum up, this rewrite in principle is equivalent to the current one, but
fixes the issues described above. Turns out, it significantly reduces the
code complexity and hence increases clarity and efficiency. In addition,
the new averages are more smooth/continuous (no spurious spikes and valleys)
and updated more consistently and quickly to reflect the load dynamics.

As a result, we have less load tracking overhead, better performance,
and especially better power efficiency due to more balanced load.
