Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.
These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.
* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.
* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.
v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.
v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.

While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware
breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked
through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a
subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in
smp_call_function_single function.
This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already
disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().

atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the
latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of
user level registers on sample. Registers we want to dump are specified
by sample_regs_user bitmask.
Only user level registers are dumped at the moment. Meaning the register
values of the user space context as it was before the user entered the
kernel for whatever reason (syscall, irq, exception, or a PMI happening
in userspace).
The layout of the sample_regs_user bitmap is described in
asm/perf_regs.h for archs that support register dump.
This is going to be useful to bring Dwarf CFI based stack unwinding on

A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.
Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().
The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated
directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If
the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it
does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This
is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the
fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput
when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero.
css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead.

This reverts commit cb04ff9ac4 ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").
Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- switch to next
- schedule in all perf events for current (next)
After the commit, the process switch looks like:
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- schedule in all perf events for (next)
- switch to next
The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).
Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.
Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:

> though.

> So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them

We always need to pass the last sample period to

wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then
iterate over the siblings of the event.
However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it
repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should
be calling it with sibling as the argument.
It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24b ("Fix ctx->mutex

With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels.
In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user
level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code
based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task
the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the
content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from
different tasks.
We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack
or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called
during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary.
That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which
uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for
per-thread context.
In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR
on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are
then filtered out by the SW filter.

This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the
perf_event interface.
The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all
sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call
counts, statistical call graph.
This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may
not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is
implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility.
To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
bit must be set in attr->sample_type.
Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv
levels.
The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the
perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters
to apply to the sampled taken branches.
Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist
or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter.
The following generic filters are currently defined:
- PERF_SAMPLE_USER
only branches whose targets are at the user level
- PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL
only branches whose targets are at the kernel level
- PERF_SAMPLE_HV
only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY
any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters)
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL
any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch)
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET
any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch)
- PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL
indirect call branches
Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional.
If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It
is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the
associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions
and availability (hv).
The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based
on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore
each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
commit:
e050e3f0a7 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
the sampling frequency adjustments:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()
It was caused by the following call sequence:
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
stop()
if (delta > 0) {
perf_adjust_period() {
if (period > 8*...) {
stop()
...
start()
}
}
}
start()
}
Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
the assert in x86_pmu_start().
The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
start/stop from that function because it's called from
__perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
stop/start back-toback call.
The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
was removed by commit:
84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")
In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
belongs to.
Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().
So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
is minimal.

This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.
It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
timer tick.
This patch solves this problem and also separates:
- unthrottling
- multiplexing
- frequency-mode period adjustments
Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.
This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).
At each timer tick, for each context:
- if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events
- if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods
- if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)
We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same
rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).
We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
frequency mode, we scan the events only once.
We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
place.
The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.
On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
2000
We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10
$ perf report -D | tail -21
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 80086
MMAP events: 88
COMM events: 2
EXIT events: 4
THROTTLE events: 19996
UNTHROTTLE events: 19996
SAMPLE events: 40000

SAMPLE events: 20000
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 39996
THROTTLE events: 9998
UNTHROTTLE events: 9998
SAMPLE events: 20000
For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.
We get exactly that: 20000 samples/event.

Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This

AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs
but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that.
ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support
userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a
method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).

Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of
@task, they can handle per-task operations. Convert
->can_attach_task() and ->attach_task() users to use ->can_attach()
and attach() instead. Most converions are straight-forward.
Noteworthy changes are,
* In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused
methods. It's useless and very prone to get out of sync, which
already happened.
* In cpuset, PF_THREAD_BOUND test is checked for each task. This
doesn't make any practical difference but is conceptually cleaner.

jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.
When te user runs a loop like this:
"while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"
... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.
This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.
Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.
This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.
I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the
number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a
similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in
perf_rotate_context().
By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for
the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

When you do:
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10
You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at
1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You
get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event:
$ perf report -D | tail -15
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 10998
MMAP events: 66
COMM events: 2
SAMPLE events: 10930
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3642
SAMPLE events: 3642
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable
of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those
events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active).
And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number
of samples per event.
The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer
to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user
notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.
The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.
Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

This patch solves the following problem:
Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is
restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is
divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that
we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the
better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and
in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events.
perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's
bug.
With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time
slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.

The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation

with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch

Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".
The difference between mlocking and pinning is:
A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
They are kept on a special LRU list.
B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
LRU list.
I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
memory was accounted for twice:
Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
memory.
This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
accounts them seperately.

times to cause multiplexing on Core 2):
$ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
$ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
$ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
IIP:0x0000000040062d ... PERIOD:2355332948 ENA=40144625315 RUN=60014875184
syst_smpl: WARNING: time_running > time_enabled
63277537998 uops_retired:freq=1 , scaled
The bug was not present in kernel up to (and including) 3.0. It turns
out the bug was introduced by the following commit:
commit c479429591
events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function
The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites
were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running
and time_enabled being swapped. That had no effect when there was
no multiplexing because in that case time_running = time_enabled
but it would show up in any other scenario.

The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10684.51 ctxsw/s
Now start a cgroup perf stat:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
6674.61 ctxsw/s
That's a 37% penalty.
Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.
The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test
CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz
The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.
The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.
With this patch the same test now yields:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10775.30 ctxsw/s
Start perf stat with cgroup:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Run pong outside the cgroup:
$ /pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10687.80 ctxsw/s
The penalty is now less than 2%.
And the results for perf stat are correct:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz
Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.
If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz

Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is
called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct
pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to
consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and
very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple
instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc).
This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing
event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the
event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via
kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't
result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before
failure to initialise was noted.

Francis reports that s2r gets him spurious NMIs, this is because the
suspend code leaves the boot cpu up and running.
Cure this by adding a suspend notifier. The problem is that hotplug
and suspend are completely un-serialized and the PM notifiers run
before the suspend cpu unplug of all but the boot cpu.
This leaves a window where the user can initialize another hotplug
operation (either remove or add a cpu) resulting in either one too
many or one too few hotplug ops. Thus we cannot use the hotplug code
for the suspend case.
There's another reason to not use the hotplug code, which is that the
hotplug code totally destroys the perf state, we can do better for
suspend and simply remove all counters from the PMU so that we can
re-instate them on resume.

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived
argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event
in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a
single callback services many perf_events.
Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
(and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event.
The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context.
All callers are updated.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

The event tracing infrastructure exposes two timers which should be updated
each time the value of the counter is updated. Currently, these counters are
only updated when userspace calls read() on the fd associated with an event.
This means that counters which are read via the mmap'd page exclusively never
have their timers updated. This patch adds ensures that the timers are updated

Since 2.6.36 (specifically commit d57e34fdd6 ("perf: Simplify the
ring-buffer logic: make perf_buffer_alloc() do everything needed"),
the perf_buffer_init_code() has been mis-setting the buffer watermark
if perf_event_attr.wakeup_events has a non-zero value.
This is because perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is a union with
perf_event_attr.wakeup_watermark.
This commit re-enables the check for perf_event_attr.watermark being
set before continuing with setting a non-default watermark.
This bug is most noticable when you are trying to use PERF_IOC_REFRESH
with a value larger than one and perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is set to
one. In this case the buffer watermark will be set to 1 and you will
get extraneous POLL_IN overflows rather than POLL_HUP as expected.
[ avoid using attr.wakeup_events when attr.watermark is set ]

A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef (perf: Simplify and fix
__perf_install_in_context()) is causing grief and lockups,
reported by Jiri Olsa.
When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of
issues:
- there might not be an existing task context, in which case
we should install the now current context;
- there might already be a context, not the current one, in
which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new;
these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one
further case that was found in testing:
- there might already be a context, the current one, in which
case we should still de-schedule, and should take care
to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears
cpuctx->task_ctx).

In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the
event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs,
change the close() semantics slightly.
The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if
the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new
code keeps the group siblings enabled.
People should not rely on this behaviour and I don't think they do,
but in case we find they do, the fix is easy and we have to take the
double IPI cost.

Currently __perf_install_in_context() will try and schedule in the
event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to
schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but
when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of
whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned
events.
Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the
event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in.
This also nicely handles the case where with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI can come right in the middle
of schedule, before we managed to call perf_event_task_sched_in().
