The current:
if (nohz_kick_needed())
nohz_balancer_kick()
is pointless complexity, fold them into a single call and avoid the
various conditions at the call site.
When we introduce multiple different needs to kick the ilb, the above
construct also becomes a problem.

Split the NOHZ idle balancer into doing two separate actions:
- update blocked load statistic
- actually load-balance
Since the latter requires the former, ensure this happens. For now
always tag both bits at the same time.
Prepares for a future where we can toggle only the STATS bit.

Due to using GCC defines for configuration, some labels might be unused in
certain configurations. While adding a __maybe_unused to the label is
fine in general, the line has to be terminated with ';'. This is also
reflected in the GCC documentation, but GCC parsed the previous variant
without an error message.
This has been spotted while compiling with goto-cc, the compiler for the
CPROVER tool suite.

Do the following cleanups and simplifications:
- sched/sched.h already includes <asm/paravirt.h>, so no need to
include it in sched/core.c again.
- order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically
- add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h
- remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.
Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:
#include "sched.h"
... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.
This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.
The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now
outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a
housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick()
implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely
as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter
and don't seem to be accessed locally.
Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to
affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation
"isolcpus=nohz,domain".

If wake_affine() pulls a task to another node for any reason and the node is
no longer preferred then temporarily stop automatic NUMA balancing pulling
the task back. Otherwise, tasks with a strong waker/wakee relationship
may constantly fight automatic NUMA balancing over where a task should
be placed.
Once again netperf is interesting here. The performance barely changes
but automatic NUMA balancing is interesting:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's a small improvement which is not surprising given that migrations that
migrate to a different node as not that common. However, it is noticeable
in the CPU migration statistics which are reduced by 24%.
There was a query for v1 of this patch about NAS so here are the results

lu.C sees a small gain, ft.C a large gain and ep.C and is.C see small
regressions but in terms of absolute time, the difference is small and
likely within run-to-run variance. System CPU usage is slightly reduced.
schbench from Facebook was also requested. This is a bit of a mixed bag but
it's important to note that this workload should not be heavily impacted
by wakeups from interrupt context.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On CPU hot unplug, when parking the last kthread we'll try and
schedule into idle to kill the CPU. This last schedule can (and does)
trigger newidle balance because at this point the sched domains are
still up because of commit:
77d1dfda0e ("sched/topology, cpuset: Avoid spurious/wrong domain rebuilds")
Obviously pulling tasks to an already offline CPU is a bad idea, and
all balancing operations _should_ be subject to cpu_active_mask, make
it so.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.
There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
_DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
related to it are updated too.

generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
modifications elsewhere.

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

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

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

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

weighted_cpuload() uses the cpu number passed to it get pointer to the
runqueue. Almost all callers of weighted_cpuload() already have the rq

some cases the callers actually get the CPU number by doing cpu_of(rq).

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hackbench recently suffered a bunch of pain, first by commit:
4c77b18cf8 ("sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive")
and then by commit:
c743f0a5c5 ("sched/fair, cpumask: Export for_each_cpu_wrap()")
which fixed a bug in the initial for_each_cpu_wrap() implementation
that made select_idle_cpu() even more expensive. The bug was that it
would skip over CPUs when bits were consequtive in the bitmask.
This however gave me an idea to fix select_idle_cpu(); where the old
scheme was a cliff-edge throttle on idle scanning, this introduces a
more gradual approach. Instead of stopping to scan entirely, we limit
how many CPUs we scan.
Initial benchmarks show that it mostly recovers hackbench while not
hurting anything else, except Mason's schbench, but not as bad as the
old thing.
It also appears to recover the tbench high-end, which also suffered like
hackbench.

A customer has reported a soft-lockup when running an intensive

[<ffffffff81098322>] task_work_run+0x72/0x90
Further investigation showed that the lock contention here is pmd_lock().
The task_numa_work() function makes sure that only one thread is let to perform
the work in a single scan period (via cmpxchg), but if there's a thread with
mmap_sem locked for writing for several periods, multiple threads in
task_numa_work() can build up a convoy waiting for mmap_sem for read and then
all get unblocked at once.
This patch changes the down_read() to the trylock version, which prevents the
build up. For a workload experiencing mmap_sem contention, it's probably better
to postpone the NUMA balancing work anyway. This seems to have fixed the soft
lockups involving pmd_lock(), which is in line with the convoy theory.

Currently, rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list is a traversal ordered list of all
live cfs_rqs which have ever been active on the CPU; unfortunately,
this makes update_blocked_averages() O(# total cgroups) which isn't
scalable at all.
This shows up as a small CPU consumption and scheduling latency
increase in the load balancing path in systems with CPU controller
enabled across most cgroups. In an edge case where temporary cgroups
were leaking, this caused the kernel to consume good several tens of
percents of CPU cycles running update_blocked_averages(), each run
taking multiple millisecs.
This patch fixes the issue by taking empty and fully decayed cfs_rqs
off the rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.

In the current implementation of load/util_avg, we assume that the
ongoing time segment has fully elapsed, and util/load_sum is divided
by LOAD_AVG_MAX, even if part of the time segment still remains to
run. As a consequence, this remaining part is considered as idle time
and generates unexpected variations of util_avg of a busy CPU in the
range [1002..1024[ whereas util_avg should stay at 1023.
In order to keep the metric stable, we should not consider the ongoing
time segment when computing load/util_avg but only the segments that
have already fully elapsed. But to not consider the current time
segment adds unwanted latency in the load/util_avg responsivness
especially when the time is scaled instead of the contribution.
Instead of waiting for the current time segment to have fully elapsed
before accounting it in load/util_avg, we can already account the
elapsed part but change the range used to compute load/util_avg
accordingly.
At the very beginning of a new time segment, the past segments have
been decayed and the max value is LOAD_AVG_MAX*y. At the very end of
the current time segment, the max value becomes:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y + 1024(us) (== LOAD_AVG_MAX)
In fact, the max value is:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y + sa->period_contrib
at any time in the time segment.
Taking advantage of the fact that:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y == LOAD_AVG_MAX-1024
the range becomes [0..LOAD_AVG_MAX-1024+sa->period_contrib].
As the elapsed part is already accounted in load/util_sum, we update
the max value according to the current position in the time segment
instead of removing its contribution.

Paul noticed that in the (periods >= LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) case in
__accumulate_sum(), the returned contribution value (LOAD_AVG_MAX) is
incorrect.
This is because at this point, the decay_load() on the old state --
the first step in accumulate_sum() -- will not have resulted in 0, and
will therefore result in a sum larger than the maximum value of our
series. Obviously broken.
Note that:
decay_load(LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) =
1 (345 / 32)
47742 * - ^ = ~27
2
Not to mention that any further contribution from the d3 segment (our
new period) would also push it over the maximum.
Solve this by noting that we can write our c2 term:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
In terms of our maximum value:
inf inf p
max = 1024 \Sum y^n = 1024 ( \Sum y^n + \Sum y^n + y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1 n=1
Further note that:
inf inf inf
( \Sum y^n ) y^p = \Sum y^(n+p) = \Sum y^n
n=0 n=0 n=p
Combined that gives us:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
inf inf
= 1024 ( \Sum y^n - \Sum y^n - y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1
= max - (max y^(p+1)) - 1024
Further simplify things by dealing with p=0 early on.

The main PELT function ___update_load_avg(), which implements the
accumulation and progression of the geometric average series, is
implemented along the following lines for the scenario where the time
delta spans all 3 possible sections (see figure below):
1. add the remainder of the last incomplete period
2. decay old sum
3. accumulate new sum in full periods since last_update_time
4. accumulate the current incomplete period
5. update averages
Or:
d1 d2 d3
^ ^ ^
| | |
|<->|<----------------->|<--->|
... |---x---|------| ... |------|-----x (now)
load_sum' = (load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) + (1,2)
p
weight * scale * 1024 * \Sum y^n + (3)
n=1
weight * scale * d3 * y^0 (4)
load_avg' = load_sum' / LOAD_AVG_MAX (5)
Where:
d1 - is the delta part completing the remainder of the last
incomplete period,
d2 - is the delta part spannind complete periods, and
d3 - is the delta part starting the current incomplete period.
We can simplify the code in two steps; the first step is to separate
the first term into new and old parts like:
(load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * d1 * y^(p+1)
Once we've done that, its easy to see that all new terms carry the
common factors:
weight * scale
If we factor those out, we arrive at the form:
load_sum' = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * (d1 * y^(p+1) +
p
1024 * \Sum y^n +
n=1
d3 * y^0)
Which results in a simpler, smaller and faster implementation.

If the child domain prefers tasks to go siblings, the local group could
end up pulling tasks to itself even if the local group is almost equally
loaded as the source group.
Lets assume a 4 core,smt==2 machine running 5 thread ebizzy workload.
Everytime, local group has capacity and source group has atleast 2 threads,
local group tries to pull the task. This causes the threads to constantly
move between different cores. This is even more profound if the cores have
more threads, like in Power 8, smt 8 mode.
Fix this by only allowing local group to pull a task, if the source group
has more number of tasks than the local group.

A regression of the FTQ noise has been reported by Ying Huang,
on the following hardware:
8 threads Intel(R) Core(TM)i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8G memory
... which was caused by this commit:
commit 4e5160766f ("sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach")
The only part of the patch that can increase the noise is the update
of blocked load of group entity in update_blocked_averages().
We can optimize this call and skip the update of group entity if its load
and utilization are already null and there is no pending propagation of load
in the task group.
This optimization partly restores the noise score. A more agressive
optimization has been tried but has shown worse score.

The missing update_rq_clock() check can work with partial rq->lock
wrappery, since a missing wrapper can cause the warning to not be
emitted when it should have, but cannot cause the warning to trigger
when it should not have.
The duplicate update_rq_clock() check however can cause false warnings
to trigger. Therefore add more comprehensive rq->lock wrappery.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"A fix for KVM's scheduler clock which (erroneously) was always marked
unstable, a fix for RT/DL load balancing, plus latency fixes"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface
sched/core: Fix pick_next_task() for RT,DL
sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive
Kitsunyan reported desktop latency issues on his Celeron 887 because
of commit:
1b568f0aab ("sched/core: Optimize SCHED_SMT")
... even though his CPU doesn't do SMT.
The effect of running the SMT code on a !SMT part is basically a more
aggressive select_idle_cpu(). Removing the avg condition fixed things
for him.
I also know FB likes this test gone, even though other workloads like
having it.
For now, take it out by default, until we get a better idea.

The update of the share of a cfs_rq is done when its load_avg is updated
but before the group_entity's load_avg has been updated for the past time
slot. This generates wrong load_avg accounting which can be significant
when small tasks are involved in the scheduling.
Let take the example of a task a that is dequeued of its task group A:
root
(cfs_rq)
\
(se)
A
(cfs_rq)
\
(se)
a
Task "a" was the only task in task group A which becomes idle when a is
dequeued.
We have the sequence:
- dequeue_entity a->se
- update_load_avg(a->se)
- dequeue_entity_load_avg(A->cfs_rq, a->se)
- update_cfs_shares(A->cfs_rq)
A->cfs_rq->load.weight == 0
A->se->load.weight is updated with the new share (0 in this case)
- dequeue_entity A->se
- update_load_avg(A->se) but its weight is now null so the last time
slot (up to a tick) will be accounted with a weight of 0 instead of
its real weight during the time slot. The last time slot will be
accounted as an idle one whereas it was a running one.
If the running time of task a is short enough that no tick happens when it
runs, all running time of group entity A->se will be accounted as idle
time.
Instead, we should update the share of a cfs_rq (in fact the weight of its
group entity) only after having updated the load_avg of the group_entity.
update_cfs_shares() now takes the sched_entity as a parameter instead of the
cfs_rq, and the weight of the group_entity is updated only once its load_avg
has been synced with current time.

find_idlest_group() only compares the runnable_load_avg when looking
for the least loaded group. But on fork intensive use case like
hackbench where tasks blocked quickly after the fork, this can lead to
selecting the same CPU instead of other CPUs, which have similar
runnable load but a lower load_avg.
When the runnable_load_avg of 2 CPUs are close, we now take into
account the amount of blocked load as a 2nd selection factor. There is
now 3 zones for the runnable_load of the rq:
- [0 .. (runnable_load - imbalance)]:
Select the new rq which has significantly less runnable_load
- [(runnable_load - imbalance) .. (runnable_load + imbalance)]:
The runnable loads are close so we use load_avg to chose
between the 2 rq
- [(runnable_load + imbalance) .. ULONG_MAX]:
Keep the current rq which has significantly less runnable_load
The scale factor that is currently used for comparing runnable_load,
doesn't work well with small value. As an example, the use of a
scaling factor fails as soon as this_runnable_load == 0 because we
always select local rq even if min_runnable_load is only 1, which
doesn't really make sense because they are just the same. So instead
of scaling factor, we use an absolute margin for runnable_load to
detect CPUs with similar runnable_load and we keep using scaling
factor for blocked load.
For use case like hackbench, this enable the scheduler to select
different CPUs during the fork sequence and to spread tasks across the
system.
Tests have been done on a Hikey board (ARM based octo cores) for
several kernel. The result below gives min, max, avg and stdev values
of 18 runs with each configuration.
The patches depend on the "no missing update_rq_clock()" work.

During fork, the utilization of a task is init once the rq has been
selected because the current utilization level of the rq is used to
set the utilization of the fork task. As the task's utilization is
still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to
look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization.
Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test:
hackbench -P -g 1
because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not
spread during fork.
With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as
for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test
until a smarter solution is found because we can't simply remove the
test which is useful for others benchmarks

We generalize the scheduler's asym packing to provide an ordering
of the cpu beyond just the cpu number. This allows the use of the
ASYM_PACKING scheduler machinery to move loads to preferred CPU in a
sched domain. The preference is defined with the cpu priority
given by arch_asym_cpu_priority(cpu).
We also record the most preferred cpu in a sched group when
we build the cpu's capacity for fast lookup of preferred cpu
during load balancing.

A task can be asynchronously detached from cfs_rq when migrating
between CPUs. The load of the migrated task is then removed from
source cfs_rq during its next update. We use this event to set
propagation flag.
During the load balance, we take advantage of the update of blocked
load to propagate any pending changes.
The propagation relies on patch:
"sched: Fix hierarchical order in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list"
... which orders children and parents, to ensure that it's done in one pass.

When a task moves from/to a cfs_rq, we set a flag which is then used to
propagate the change at parent level (sched_entity and cfs_rq) during
next update. If the cfs_rq is throttled, the flag will stay pending until
the cfs_rq is unthrottled.
For propagating the utilization, we copy the utilization of group cfs_rq to
the sched_entity.
For propagating the load, we have to take into account the load of the
whole task group in order to evaluate the load of the sched_entity.
Similarly to what was done before the rewrite of PELT, we add a correction
factor in case the task group's load is greater than its share so it will
contribute the same load of a task of equal weight.

Every time we modify load/utilization of sched_entity, we start to
sync it with its cfs_rq. This update is done in different ways:
- when attaching/detaching a sched_entity, we update cfs_rq and then
we sync the entity with the cfs_rq.
- when enqueueing/dequeuing the sched_entity, we update both
sched_entity and cfs_rq metrics to now.
Use update_load_avg() everytime we have to update and sync cfs_rq and
sched_entity before changing the state of a sched_enity.

Fix the insertion of cfs_rq in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list to ensure that a
child will always be called before its parent.
The hierarchical order in shares update list has been introduced by
commit:
67e86250f8 ("sched: Introduce hierarchal order on shares update list")
With the current implementation a child can be still put after its
parent.
Lets take the example of:
root
\
b
/\
c d*
|
e*
with root -> b -> c already enqueued but not d -> e so the
leaf_cfs_rq_list looks like: head -> c -> b -> root -> tail
The branch d -> e will be added the first time that they are enqueued,
starting with e then d.
When e is added, its parents is not already on the list so e is put at
the tail : head -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail
Then, d is added at the head because its parent is already on the
list: head -> d -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail
e is not placed at the right position and will be called the last
whereas it should be called at the beginning.
Because it follows the bottom-up enqueue sequence, we are sure that we
will finished to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a
parent that is already on the list. We can use this event to detect
when we have finished to add a new branch. For the others, whose
parents are not already added, we have to ensure that they will be
added after their children that have just been inserted the steps
before, and after any potential parents that are already in the list.
The easiest way is to put the cfs_rq just after the last inserted one
and to keep track of it untl the branch is fully added.

For asymmetric CPU capacity systems it is counter-productive for
throughput if low capacity CPUs are pulling tasks from non-overloaded
CPUs with higher capacity. The assumption is that higher CPU capacity is
preferred over running alone in a group with lower CPU capacity.
This patch rejects higher CPU capacity groups with one or less task per
CPU as potential busiest group which could otherwise lead to a series of
failing load-balancing attempts leading to a force-migration.

struct sched_group_capacity currently represents the compute capacity
sum of all CPUs in the sched_group.
Unless it is divided by the group_weight to get the average capacity
per CPU, it hides differences in CPU capacity for mixed capacity systems
(e.g. high RT/IRQ utilization or ARM big.LITTLE).
But even the average may not be sufficient if the group covers CPUs of
different capacities.
Instead, by extending struct sched_group_capacity to indicate min per-CPU
capacity in the group a suitable group for a given task utilization can
more easily be found such that CPUs with reduced capacity can be avoided
for tasks with high utilization (not implemented by this patch).

In low-utilization scenarios comparing relative loads in
find_idlest_group() doesn't always lead to the most optimum choice.
Systems with groups containing different numbers of cpus and/or cpus of
different compute capacity are significantly better off when considering
spare capacity rather than relative load in those scenarios.
In addition to existing load based search an alternative spare capacity
based candidate sched_group is found and selected instead if sufficient
spare capacity exists. If not, existing behaviour is preserved.

At task wake-up load-tracking isn't updated until the task is enqueued.
The task's own view of its utilization contribution may therefore not be
aligned with its contribution to the cfs_rq load-tracking which may have
been updated in the meantime. Basically, the task's own utilization
hasn't yet accounted for the sleep decay, while the cfs_rq may have
(partially). Estimating the cfs_rq utilization in case the task is
migrated at wake-up as task_rq(p)->cfs.avg.util_avg - p->se.avg.util_avg
is therefore incorrect as the two load-tracking signals aren't time
synchronized (different last update).
To solve this problem, this patch synchronizes the task utilization with
its previous rq before the task utilization is used in the wake-up path.
Currently the update/synchronization is done _after_ the task has been
placed by select_task_rq_fair(). The synchronization is done without
having to take the rq lock using the existing mechanism used in
remove_entity_load_avg().

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury,
which he bisected back to:
3d30544f02 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes)
The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved
(read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask.
The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg)
is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of
a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to
parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load
(tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg().
But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load,
whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value.
The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the
weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is
smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than
what it could expect.
( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg"
of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib"
of online cfs_rqs of the task group. )
The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else
than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

While going through enqueue/dequeue to review the movement of
set_curr_task() I noticed that the (2nd) update_min_vruntime() call in
dequeue_entity() is suspect.
It turns out, its actually wrong because it will consider
cfs_rq->curr, which could be the entry we just normalized. This mixes
different vruntime forms and leads to fail.
The purpose of the second update_min_vruntime() is to move
min_vruntime forward if the entity we just removed is the one that was
holding it back; _except_ for the DEQUEUE_SAVE case, because then we
know its a temporary removal and it will come back.
However, since we do put_prev_task() _after_ dequeue(), cfs_rq->curr
will still be set (and per the above, can be tranformed into a
different unit), so update_min_vruntime() should also consider
curr->on_rq. This also fixes another corner case where the enqueue
(which also does update_curr()->update_min_vruntime()) happens on the
rq->lock break in schedule(), between dequeue and put_prev_task.

select_idle_siblings() is a known pain point for a number of
workloads; it either does too much or not enough and sometimes just
does plain wrong.
This rewrite attempts to address a number of issues (but sadly not
all).
The current code does an unconditional sched_domain iteration; with
the intent of finding an idle core (on SMT hardware). The problems
which this patch tries to address are:
- its pointless to look for idle cores if the machine is real busy;
at which point you're just wasting cycles.
- it's behaviour is inconsistent between SMT and !SMT hardware in
that !SMT hardware ends up doing a scan for any idle CPU in the LLC
domain, while SMT hardware does a scan for idle cores and if that
fails, falls back to a scan for idle threads on the 'target' core.
The new code replaces the sched_domain scan with 3 explicit scans:
1) search for an idle core in the LLC
2) search for an idle CPU in the LLC
3) search for an idle thread in the 'target' core
where 1 and 3 are conditional on SMT support and 1 and 2 have runtime
heuristics to skip the step.
Step 1) is conditional on sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores; when a cpu
goes idle and sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores is false, we scan all SMT
siblings of the CPU going idle. Similarly, we clear
sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores when we fail to find an idle core.
Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup. There is a
significant fudge factor involved to deal with the variability of the
averages. Esp. hackbench was sensitive to this.
Step 3) is unconditional; we assume (also per step 1) that scanning
all SMT siblings in a core is 'cheap'.
With this; SMT systems gain step 2, which cures a few benchmarks --
notably one from Facebook.
One 'feature' of the sched_domain iteration, which we preserve in the
new code, is that it would start scanning from the 'target' CPU,
instead of scanning the cpumask in cpu id order. This avoids multiple
CPUs in the LLC scanning for idle to gang up and find the same CPU
quite as much. The down side is that tasks can end up hopping across
the LLC for no apparent reason.

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime).
It makes use of a per-CPU hrtimer resource and hence arming that
hrtimer should be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its
various cfs_rqs, rather than being based on number of tasks in a
particular cfs_rq (as implemented currently).
As a result, with current code, its possible for a running task (which
is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted much after its
ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency for tasks in
other cfs_rq on same CPU.
Fix this by arming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.

Testing indicates that it is possible to improve performace
significantly without increasing energy consumption too much by
teaching cpufreq governors to bump up the CPU performance level if
the in_iowait flag is set for the task in enqueue_task_fair().
For this purpose, define a new cpufreq_update_util() flag
SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT and modify enqueue_task_fair() to pass that
flag to cpufreq_update_util() in the in_iowait case. That generally
requires cpufreq_update_util() to be called directly from there,
because update_load_avg() may not be invoked in that case.

The schedstat_*() macros are inconsistent: most of them take a pointer
and a field which the macro combines, whereas schedstat_set() takes the
already combined ptr->field.
The already combined ptr->field argument is actually more intuitive and
easier to use, and there's no reason to require the user to split the
variable up, so convert the macros to use the combined argument.

Since commit:
2159197d66 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")
we now have two different fixed point units for load.
load_above_capacity has to have 10 bits fixed point unit like PELT,
whereas NICE_0_LOAD has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit kernels.
Fix this by scaling down NICE_0_LOAD when multiplying
load_above_capacity with it.

Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric
configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's
compute demand (utilization) is suitable for the waking CPU and the
previous CPU, and all CPUs within their respective
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains (sd_llc). If not, let wakeup balancing
take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).
This patch makes affine wake-ups conditional on whether both the waker
CPU and the previous CPU has sufficient capacity for the waking task,
or not, assuming that the CPU capacities within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous.

All of the callers of cpufreq_update_util() pass rq_clock(rq) to it
as the time argument and some of them check whether or not cpu_of(rq)
is equal to smp_processor_id() before calling it, so rework it to
take a runqueue pointer as the argument and move the rq_clock(rq)

Additionally, provide a wrapper checking cpu_of(rq) against
smp_processor_id() for the cpufreq_update_util() callers that

It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just
been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util()
and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data. However,
doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they
already take would be clumsy, so avoid it.
Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part
of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly.
This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced
with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow.
Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization
information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags
instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track
updates from the RT and DL sched classes. Make it non-modular
too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at
large.
Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

In commit:
ac66f54772 ("sched/numa: Introduce migrate_swap()")
select_task_rq() got a 'cpu' argument to enable overriding of prev_cpu
in special cases (NUMA task swapping).
However, the select_task_rq_fair() helper functions: wake_affine() and
select_idle_sibling(), still use task_cpu(p) directly to work out
prev_cpu, which leads to inconsistencies.
This patch passes prev_cpu (potentially overridden by NUMA code) into
the helper functions to ensure prev_cpu is indeed the same CPU
everywhere in the wakeup path.

Vincent noted that the update_tg_load_avg() usage in commit:
3d30544f02 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes")
isn't entirely sufficient. We need to call this function every time
cfs_rq->avg.load changes, this includes when update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
returns true, but {attach,detach}_entity_load_avg() themselves also
change it. This means we need to unconditionally call
update_tg_load_avg().
Also, add more comments.

A future patch needs rq->lock held _after_ we link the task_group into

after we link the task_group.

One additional 'rule' for using update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is that one
should call update_tg_load_avg() if it returns true.
Add a bunch of comments to hopefully clarify some of the rules:
o You need to update cfs_rq _before_ any entity attach/detach,
this is important, because while for mathmatical consisency this
isn't strictly needed, it is required for the physical
interpretation of the model, you attach/detach _now_.
o When you modify the cfs_rq avg, you have to then call
update_tg_load_avg() in order to propagate changes upwards.
o (Fair) entities are always attached, switched_{to,from}_fair()
deal with !fair. This directly follows from the definition of the
cfs_rq averages, namely that they are a direct sum of all
(runnable or blocked) entities on that rq.
It is the second rule that this patch enforces, but it adds comments
pertaining to all of them.

Vincent and Yuyang found another few scenarios in which entity
tracking goes wobbly.
The scenarios are basically due to the fact that new tasks are not
immediately attached and thereby differ from the normal situation -- a
task is always attached to a cfs_rq load average (such that it
includes its blocked contribution) and are explicitly
detached/attached on migration to another cfs_rq.
Scenario 1: switch to fair class
p->sched_class = fair_class;
if (queued)
enqueue_task(p);
...
enqueue_entity()
enqueue_entity_load_avg()
migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true)
if (migrated)
attach_entity_load_avg()
check_class_changed()
switched_from() (!fair)
switched_to() (fair)
switched_to_fair()
attach_entity_load_avg()
If @p is a new task that hasn't been fair before, it will have
!last_update_time and, per the above, end up in
attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_.
Scenario 2: change between cgroups
sched_move_group(p)
if (queued)
dequeue_task()
task_move_group_fair()
detach_task_cfs_rq()
detach_entity_load_avg()
set_task_rq()
attach_task_cfs_rq()
attach_entity_load_avg()
if (queued)
enqueue_task();
...
enqueue_entity()
enqueue_entity_load_avg()
migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true)
if (migrated)
attach_entity_load_avg()
Similar as with scenario 1, if @p is a new task, it will have
!load_update_time and we'll end up in attach_entity_load_avg()
_twice_.
Furthermore, notice how we do a detach_entity_load_avg() on something
that wasn't attached to begin with.
As stated above; the problem is that the new task isn't yet attached
to the load tracking and thereby violates the invariant assumption.
This patch remedies this by ensuring a new task is indeed properly
attached to the load tracking on creation, through
post_init_entity_util_avg().
Of course, this isn't entirely as straightforward as one might think,
since the task is hashed before we call wake_up_new_task() and thus
can be poked at. We avoid this by adding TASK_NEW and teaching
cpu_cgroup_can_attach() to refuse such tasks.

A new fair task is detached and attached from/to task_group with:
cgroup_post_fork()
ss->fork(child) := cpu_cgroup_fork()
sched_move_task()
task_move_group_fair()
Which is wrong, because at this point in fork() the task isn't fully
initialized and it cannot 'move' to another group, because its not
attached to any group as yet.
In fact, cpu_cgroup_fork() needs a small part of sched_move_task() so we
can just call this small part directly instead sched_move_task(). And
the task doesn't really migrate because it is not yet attached so we
need the following sequence:
do_fork()
sched_fork()
__set_task_cpu()
cgroup_post_fork()
set_task_rq() # set task group and runqueue
wake_up_new_task()
select_task_rq() can select a new cpu
__set_task_cpu
post_init_entity_util_avg
attach_task_cfs_rq()
activate_task
enqueue_task
This patch makes that happen.

Vincent reported that when a new task is moved into a new cgroup it
gets attached twice to the load tracking:
sched_move_task()
task_move_group_fair()
detach_task_cfs_rq()
set_task_rq()
attach_task_cfs_rq()
attach_entity_load_avg()
se->avg.last_load_update = cfs_rq->avg.last_load_update // == 0
enqueue_entity()
enqueue_entity_load_avg()
update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
now = clock()
__update_load_avg(&cfs_rq->avg)
cfs_rq->avg.last_load_update = now
// ages load/util for: now - 0, load/util -> 0
if (migrated)
attach_entity_load_avg()
se->avg.last_load_update = cfs_rq->avg.last_load_update; // now != 0
The problem is that we don't update cfs_rq load_avg before all
entity attach/detach operations. Only enqueue_task() and migrate_task()
do this.
By fixing this, the above will not happen, because the
sched_move_task() attach will have updated cfs_rq's last_load_update
time before attach, and in turn the attach will have set the entity's
last_load_update stamp.
Note that there is a further problem with sched_move_task() calling
detach on a task that hasn't yet been attached; this will be taken
care of in a subsequent patch.

The task_fork_fair() callback already calls __set_task_cpu() and takes
rq->lock.
If we move the sched_class::task_fork callback in sched_fork() under
the existing p->pi_lock, right after its set_task_cpu() call, we can
avoid doing two such calls and omit the IRQ disabling on the rq->lock.
Change to __set_task_cpu() to skip the migration bits, this is a new
task, not a migration. Similarly, make wake_up_new_task() use
__set_task_cpu() for the same reason, the task hasn't actually
migrated as it hasn't ever ran.
This cures the problem of calling migrate_task_rq_fair(), which does
remove_entity_from_load_avg() on tasks that have never been added to
the load avg to begin with.
This bug would result in transiently messed up load_avg values, averaged
out after a few dozen milliseconds. This is probably the reason why
this bug was not found for such a long time.

2159197d66 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")

units (10 bit fixed point and 20 bit fixed point resp.).
Add a comment to explain the use of cfs_rq->load.weight over the
'natural' cfs_rq->avg.load_avg and add scale_load_down() to correct
for the difference in unit.
Since this is (now, as per a previous commit) the only user of

Starting with the following commit:
fde7d22e01 ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities")
calc_tg_weight() doesn't compute the right value as expected by effective_load().
The difference is in the 'correction' term. In order to ensure \Sum
rw_j >= rw_i we cannot use tg->load_avg directly, since that might be
lagging a correction on the current cfs_rq->avg.load_avg value.
Therefore we use tg->load_avg - cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib +
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg.
Now, per the referenced commit, calc_tg_weight() doesn't use
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg, as is later used in @w, but uses
cfs_rq->load.weight instead.
So stop using calc_tg_weight() and do it explicitly.
The effects of this bug are wake_affine() making randomly
poor choices in cgroup-intense workloads.

Cgroup created inside throttled group must inherit current throttle_count.
Broken throttle_count allows to nominate throttled entries as a next buddy,
later this leads to null pointer dereference in pick_next_task_fair().
This patch initialize cfs_rq->throttle_count at first enqueue: laziness
allows to skip locking all rq at group creation. Lazy approach also allows
to skip full sub-tree scan at throttling hierarchy (not in this patch).

So I _should_ have looked at other unserialized users of ->load_avg,
but alas. Luckily nikbor reported a similar /0 from task_h_load() which
instantly triggered recollection of this here problem.
Aside from the intermediate value hitting memory and causing problems,
there's another problem: the underflow detection relies on the signed
bit. This reduces the effective width of the variables, IOW its
effectively the same as having these variables be of signed type.
This patch changes to a different means of unsigned underflow
detection to not rely on the signed bit. This allows the variables to
use the 'full' unsigned range. And it does so with explicit LOAD -
STORE to ensure any intermediate value will never be visible in
memory, allowing these unserialized loads.
Note: GCC generates crap code for this, might warrant a look later.
Note2: I say 'full' above, if we end up at U*_MAX we'll still explode;
maybe we should do clamping on add too.

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.

broke interactivity and the signal starve test. We reverted that
commit and now let's try it again more carefully, with some other
underlying problems fixed first.
One problem is that I assumed ENQUEUE_WAKING was only set when we do a
cross-cpu wakeup (migration), which isn't true. This means we now
destroy the vruntime history of tasks and wakeup-preemption suffers.
Cure this by making my assumption true, only call
sched_class::task_waking() when we do a cross-cpu wakeup. This avoids
the indirect call in the case we do a local wakeup.

The following commit:
34e2c555f3 ("cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks")
overlooked the fact that update_load_avg(), where CFS invokes cpufreq
utilization update callbacks, becomes an empty stub on UP kernels.
In consequence, if !CONFIG_SMP, cpufreq governors are never invoked
from CFS and they do not have a chance to evaluate CPU performace
levels and update them often enough.
Needless to say, things don't work as expected then.
Fix the problem by making the !CONFIG_SMP stub of update_load_avg()
invoke cpufreq update callbacks too.

- 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.

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_*()

The cpufreq hook should be called whenever the root cfs_rq
utilization changes so update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is a better
place for it. The current location is not invoked in the
enqueue_entity() or update_blocked_averages() paths.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU

Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem
("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be
executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the
scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes.
This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers
and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage
adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things.
The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

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:

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. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
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.

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.

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().

Currently, the update_tg_load_avg() function attempts to update the
tg's load_avg value whenever the load changes even for root_task_group
where the load_avg value will never be used. This patch will disable
the load_avg update when the given task group is the root_task_group.
Running a Java benchmark with noautogroup and a 4.3 kernel on a
16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the amount of CPU time (as reported by
perf) consumed by task_tick_fair() which includes update_tg_load_avg()
decreased from 0.71% to 0.22%, a more than 3X reduction. The Max-jOPs
results also increased slightly from 983015 to 986449.

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().

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

The comment describing migrate_task_rq_fair() says that the caller

task_rq(p)->lock instead of p->pi_lock. So the comment is broken and

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.

mode, a non-idle CPU's tick can also be stopped. However, update_cpu_load_nohz()

There are some cases where distance between ticks is more than one tick
while the CPU is not idle, e.g. full NOHZ.
However __update_cpu_load() assumes it is the idle tickless case if the
distance between ticks is more than 1, even though it can be the active
tickless case as well. Thus in the active tickless case, updating the CPU
load will not be performed correctly.
Where the current code assumes the load for each tick is zero, this is
(obviously) not true in non-idle tickless case. We can approximately
consider the load ~= this_rq->cpu_load[0] during tickless in non-idle
tickless case.

The NUMA balancing code implements delays in scanning by
advancing curr->node_stamp beyond curr->se.sum_exec_runtime.
With unsigned math, that creates an underflow, which results
in task_numa_work being queued all the time, even when we
don't want to.
Avoiding the math underflow makes it possible to reduce CPU

Commit:
9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")
led to an overly small weight for interactive group entities. The bad case
can be easily reproduced when a number of CPU hogs compete for the CPUs
at the same time (thanks to Mike). This is largly because the task group's
load average tracking cross CPUs lags behind the real changes.
To fix this we accelerate the group share distribution process by using
the load.weight of the cfs_rq. This may increase the entire group's
share, but we have to do so to protect the (fragile) interactive
tasks, especially from CPU hogs.

Currently task_numa_work() scans up to numa_balancing_scan_size_mb worth
of memory per invocation, but only counts memory areas that have at
least one PTE that is still present and not marked for numa hint faulting.
It will skip over arbitarily large amounts of memory that are either
unused, full of swap ptes, or full of PTEs that were already marked
for NUMA hint faults but have not been faulted on yet.
This can cause excessive amounts of CPU use, due to there being
essentially no upper limit on the scan rate of very large processes
that are not yet in a phase where they are actively accessing old
memory pages (eg. they are still initializing their data).
Avoid that problem by placing an upper limit on the amount of virtual
memory that task_numa_work() scans in each invocation. This can be a
higher limit than "pages", to ensure the task still skips over unused
areas fairly quickly.
While we are here, also fix the "nr_pte_updates" logic, so it only
counts page ranges with ptes in them.

Currently the load_{sum,avg} and util_{sum,avg} tracking is asymmetric
in that load tracking gets a 2^10 unit from the weight, but util gets
no such factor.
This results in more lost bits for util scaling and asymmetric scaling
rules.
Fix this by removing shifts, such that we gain the 2^10 factor from
scaling. There is no risk of overflowing the u32 as the max value is
now LOAD_AVG_MAX << 10, which is still well below UINT_MAX.
This further entangles the assumption that both LOAD and CAPACITY
shifts are the same (and 10) so put in an assertion for that.
This fixes the math for the LOAD_RESOLUTION != 0 case.

Prior to this patch; the line:

1b06: 49 c1 e1 0a shl $0xa,%r9
1b0a: 49 c1 e9 0a shr $0xa,%r9
Which is silly; when made unsigned int, GCC recognises this as
pointless ops and fails to emit them (confirmed on 4.9.3 and 5.1.1).
Furthermore, afaict unsigned is actually the correct type for these

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.

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

Commit 2a1ed24 ("sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness")
sets sched feature NUMA to true. However this can enable NUMA hinting
faults on a UMA system.
This commit ensures that NUMA hinting faults occur only on a NUMA system
by setting/resetting sched_numa_balancing.
This commit:
- Makes sched_numa_balancing common to CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG and
!CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. Earlier it was only in !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.
- Checks for sched_numa_balancing instead of sched_feat(NUMA).

Since commit:
d4573c3e1c ("sched: Improve load balancing in the presence of idle CPUs")
the ILB CPU starts with the idle load balancing of other idle CPUs and
finishes with itself in order to speed up the spread of tasks in all
idle CPUs.
The this_rq->next_balance is still used in nohz_idle_balance() as an
intermediate step to gather the shortest next balance before updating
nohz.next_balance. But the former has not been updated yet and is likely to
be set with the current jiffies. As a result, the nohz.next_balance will be
set with current jiffies instead of the real next balance date. This
generates spurious kicks of nohz ilde balance.
nohz_idle_balance() must set the nohz.next_balance without taking into
account this_rq->next_balance which is not updated yet. Then, this_rq will
update nohz.next_update with its next_balance once updated and if necessary.

By observing that switched_from_fair() detaches from a runqueue, and
switched_to_fair() attaches to a runqueue, we can see that
task_move_group_fair() is one followed by the other with flipping the
runqueue in between.
Therefore extract all the common bits and implement all three
functions in terms of them.
This should fix a few corner cases wrt. vruntime normalization; where,
when we take a task off of a runqueue we convert to an approximation
of lag by subtracting min_vruntime, and when placing a task on the a
runqueue to the reverse.

Where switched_from_fair() will remove the entity's load from the
runqueue, switched_to_fair() does not currently add it back. This
means that when a task leaves the fair class for a short duration; say
because of PI; we loose its load contribution.
This can ripple forward and disturb the load tracking because other
operations (enqueue, dequeue) assume its factored in. Only once the
runqueue empties will the load tracking recover.
When we add it back in, age the per entity average to match up with
the runqueue age. This has the obvious problem that if the task leaves
the fair class for a significant time, the load will age to 0.
Employ the normal migration rule for inter-runqueue moves in
task_move_group_fair(). Again, there is the obvious problem of the
task migrating while not in the fair class.
The alternative solution would be to to omit the chunk in
attach_entity_load_avg(), which would effectively reset the timestamp
and use whatever avg there was.

from the fair class, but it does not ensure the task has a non-normalized

This is an example breaking this consistency:
1. a task is in fair class and !queued
2. changes its class to RT class (still !queued)
3. changes its class to fair class again (still !queued)

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.

Josef Bacik reported that Facebook sees better performance with their
1:N load (1 dispatch/node, N workers/node) when carrying an old patch
to try very hard to wake to an idle CPU. While looking at wake_wide(),
I noticed that it doesn't pay attention to the wakeup of a many partner
waker, returning 1 only when waking one of its many partners.
Correct that, letting explicit domain flags override the heuristic.
While at it, adjust task_struct bits, we don't need a 64-bit counter.

The current load balancer may not try to prevent a task from moving
out of a preferred node to a less preferred node. The reason for this
being:
- Since sched features NUMA and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER are disabled by
default, migrate_degrades_locality() always returns false.
- Even if NUMA_RESIST_LOWER were to be enabled, if its cache hot,
migrate_degrades_locality() never gets called.
The above behaviour can mean that tasks can move out of their
preferred node but they may be eventually be brought back to their
preferred node by numa balancer (due to higher numa faults).
To avoid the above, this commit merges migrate_degrades_locality() and
migrate_improves_locality(). It also replaces 3 sched features NUMA,
NUMA_FAVOUR_HIGHER and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER by a single sched feature
NUMA.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Debug info and other statistics fixes and related enhancements"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/numa: Fix numa balancing stats in /proc/pid/sched
sched/numa: Show numa_group ID in /proc/sched_debug task listings
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.

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This series of scheduler updates depends on sched/core and timers/core
branches, which are already in your tree:
- Scheduler balancing overhaul to plug a hard to trigger race which
causes an oops in the balancer (Peter Zijlstra)
- Lockdep updates which are related to the balancing updates (Peter
Zijlstra)"
* 'sched-hrtimers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched,lockdep: Employ lock pinning
lockdep: Implement lock pinning
lockdep: Simplify lock_release()
sched: Streamline the task migration locking a little
sched: Move code around
sched,dl: Fix sched class hopping CBS hole
sched, dl: Convert switched_{from, to}_dl() / prio_changed_dl() to balance callbacks
sched,dl: Remove return value from pull_dl_task()
sched, rt: Convert switched_{from, to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() to balance callbacks
sched,rt: Remove return value from pull_rt_task()
sched: Allow balance callbacks for check_class_changed()
sched: Use replace normalize_task() with __sched_setscheduler()
sched: Replace post_schedule with a balance callback list
Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:
- Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel
- Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
disabled at runtime.
- Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
offset updates smarter
- hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
problems in sched/perf
- Some more leap second tweaks
- Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem
- First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
introducing the necessary infrastructure
- Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()
- The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates
The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
and redundant code, which got copied all over the place. The y2038
changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
boot/persistant clock"

Jovi Zhangwei reported the following problem
Below kernel vm bug can be triggered by tcpdump which mmaped a lot of pages
with GFP_COMP flag.
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page:ffffea0015414000 count:66 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x0
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] flags: 0x20047580004000(head)
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_order(page) && !PageTransHuge(page))
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] kernel BUG at mm/migrate.c:1661!
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
In this case it was triggered by running tcpdump but it's not necessary
reproducible on all systems.
sudo tcpdump -i bond0.100 'tcp port 4242' -c 100000000000 -w 4242.pcap
Compound pages cannot be migrated and it was not expected that such pages
be marked for NUMA balancing. This did not take into account that drivers
such as net/packet/af_packet.c may insert compound pages into userspace
with vm_insert_page. This patch tells the NUMA balancing protection
scanner to skip all VM_MIXEDMAP mappings which avoids the possibility that
compound pages are marked for migration.
