Pull NOHZ updates from Ingo Molnar:
"NOHZ enhancements, by Frederic Weisbecker, which reorganizes/refactors
the NOHZ 'can the tick be stopped?' infrastructure and related code to
be data driven, and harmonizes the naming and handling of all the
various properties"
[ This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it.
I'm pulling it, but I've asked Ingo and Frederic to get this
fixed up ]

sched-clock: Migrate to use new tick dependency mask model

sched: Account rr tasks
perf: Migrate perf to use new tick dependency mask model
nohz: Use enum code for tick stop failure tracing message
nohz: New tick dependency mask
nohz: Implement wide kick on top of irq work
atomic: Export fetch_or()
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.

In order to evaluate the scheduler tick dependency without probing
context switches, we need to know how much SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO tasks
are enqueued as those policies don't have the same preemption
requirements.
To prepare for that, let's account SCHED_RR tasks, we'll be able to
deduce SCHED_FIFO tasks as well from it and the total RT tasks in the
runqueue.

The sched_domain_sysctl setup is only enabled when SCHED_DEBUG is
configured. As debug.c is only compiled when SCHED_DEBUG is configured as
well, move the setup of sched_domain_sysctl into that file.
Note, the (un)register_sched_domain_sysctl() functions had to be changed
from static to allow access to them from core.c.

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).

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:

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.

If a system with large number of sockets was driven to full
utilization, it was found that the clock tick handling occupied a
rather significant proportion of CPU time when fair group scheduling
and autogroup were enabled.
Running a java benchmark on a 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the perf
profile looked like:
10.52% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
9.66% 0.05% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] hrtimer_interrupt
8.65% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] tick_sched_timer
8.56% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_process_times
8.07% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] scheduler_tick
6.91% 1.78% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] task_tick_fair
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
7.83% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] tick_sched_timer
7.74% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_process_times
7.27% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] scheduler_tick
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
benchmark results before and after the patch was as follows:
Before patch - Max-jOPs: 907533 Critical-jOps: 134877
After patch - Max-jOPs: 916011 Critical-jOps: 142366

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.

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.

This alternative patch solves the problem by not calling
sched_info_{de,}queued() in {de,en}queue_task(). Therefore the
sched_info state is preserved and things work as expected.
By inlining the {de,en}queue_task() functions the new condition
becomes (mostly) a compile-time constant and we'll not emit any new
branch instructions.
It even shrinks the code (due to inlining {en,de}queue_task()):

So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
context_switch(A, B)
ttwu(A)
LOCK A->pi_lock
A->on_cpu == 0
finish_task_switch(A)
prev_state = A->state <-.
WMB |
A->on_cpu = 0; |
UNLOCK rq0->lock |
| context_switch(C, A)
`-- A->state = TASK_DEAD
prev_state == TASK_DEAD
put_task_struct(A)
context_switch(A, C)
finish_task_switch(A)
A->state == TASK_DEAD
put_task_struct(A)
The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A->state on CPU0
to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A->state, which will then
result in a double-drop and use-after-free.
Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago)
that we need to observe A->state while holding rq->lock because that
will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact
acquire (that) rq->lock; it takes A->pi_lock these days.
We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is
expensive, so we'd rather avoid that.
The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&A->on_cpu, 0),
which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

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.

Bring arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in line with the recent change of its
arch_scale_freq_capacity() sibling in commit dfbca41f34 ("sched:
Optimize freq invariant accounting") from weak function to #define to
allow inlining of the function.
While at it, remove the ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feature as well. With the
change to #define there isn't a straightforward way to allow runtime
switch between an arch implementation and the default implementation of
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() using sched_feature. The default was to use
the arch-specific implementation, but only the arm architecture provides
one and that is essentially equivalent to the default implementation.

The cfs_rq's load_avg is composed of runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg.
Before this series, sometimes the runnable_load_avg is used, and sometimes
the load_avg is used. Completely replacing all uses of runnable_load_avg
with load_avg may be too big a leap, i.e., the blocked_load_avg is concerned
to result in overrated load. Therefore, we get runnable_load_avg back.
The new cfs_rq's runnable_load_avg is improved to be updated with all of the
runnable sched_eneities at the same time, so the one sched_entity updated and
the others stale problem is solved.

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.

sched/numa: Fix numa balancing stats in /proc/pid/sched

sched/debug: Move print_cfs_rq() declaration to kernel/sched/sched.h
sched/stat: Expose /proc/pid/schedstat if CONFIG_SCHED_INFO=y
sched/stat: Simplify the sched_info accounting dependency
Commit 44dba3d5d6 ("sched: Refactor task_struct to use
numa_faults instead of numa_* pointers") modified the way
tsk->numa_faults stats are accounted.
However that commit never touched show_numa_stats() that is displayed
in /proc/pid/sched and thus the numbers displayed in /proc/pid/sched
don't match the actual numbers.
Fix it by making sure that /proc/pid/sched reflects the task
fault numbers. Also add group fault stats too.
Also couple of more modifications are added here:
1. Format changes:
- Previously we would list two entries per node, one for private
and one for shared. Also the home node info was listed in each entry.
- Now preferred node, total_faults and current node are
displayed separately.
- Now there is one entry per node, that lists private,shared task and
group faults.
2. Unit changes:
- p->numa_pages_migrated was getting reset after every read of
/proc/pid/sched. It's more useful to have absolute numbers since
differential migrations between two accesses can be more easily
calculated.

In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can
stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be
(re)-started when their idle condition changes.
Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do
the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns,
and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided
to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we
end up with a 'lost' timer.
The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before
the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the
callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer.
Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd
by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course,
that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time.
Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then
everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that
is undesired.
The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active
variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface
for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

ACCESS_ONCE doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types. This patch removes
the rest of the existing usages of ACCESS_ONCE() in the scheduler, and use
the new READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() APIs as appropriate.

I could not find the loadavg code.. turns out it was hidden in a file
called proc.c. It further got mingled up with the cruft per rq load
indexes (which we really want to get rid of).
Move the per rq load indexes into the fair.c load-balance code (that's
the only thing that uses them) and rename proc.c to loadavg.c so we
can find it again.

[ Did minor cleanups to the code. ]

Roman reported a 3 cpu lockup scenario involving __start_cfs_bandwidth().
The more I look at that code the more I'm convinced its crack, that
entire __start_cfs_bandwidth() thing is brain melting, we don't need to
cancel a timer before starting it, *hrtimer_start*() will happily remove
the timer for you if its still enqueued.
Removing that, removes a big part of the problem, no more ugly cancel
loop to get stuck in.
So now, if I understand things right, the entire reason you have this
cfs_b->lock guarded ->timer_active nonsense is to make sure we don't
accidentally lose the timer.
It appears to me that it should be possible to guarantee that same by
unconditionally (re)starting the timer when !queued. Because regardless
what hrtimer::function will return, if we beat it to (re)enqueue the
timer, it doesn't matter.
Now, because hrtimers don't come with any serialization guarantees we
must ensure both handler and (re)start loop serialize their access to
the hrtimer to avoid both trying to forward the timer at the same
time.
Update the rt bandwidth timer to match.
This effectively reverts: 09dc4ab039 ("sched/fair: Fix
tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() deadlock on rq->lock").

Obviously, 'rq' is not used in these two functions, therefore,
there is no reason for it to be passed as an argument.

Currently the freq invariant accounting (in
__update_entity_runnable_avg() and sched_rt_avg_update()) get the
scale factor from a weak function call, this means that even for archs
that default on their implementation the compiler cannot see into this
function and optimize the extra scaling math away.
This is sad, esp. since its a 64-bit multiplication which can be quite
costly on some platforms.
So replace the weak function with #ifdef and __always_inline goo. This
is not quite as nice from an arch support PoV but should at least
result in compile time errors if done wrong.
