Mathieu Desnoyers 223baf9d17 sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid
Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.

Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.

Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to
sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in
activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is
unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then
the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration.

Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work,
which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of
time.

Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all
mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm
cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact.

Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

Hao Jia 530bfad1d5 sched/core: Avoid selecting the task that is throttled to run when core-sched enable
When {rt, cfs}_rq or dl task is throttled, since cookied tasks
are not dequeued from the core tree, So sched_core_find() and
sched_core_next() may return throttled task, which may
cause throttled task to run on the CPU.

So we add checks in sched_core_find() and sched_core_next()
to make sure that the return is a runnable task that is
not throttled.

Mathieu Desnoyers af7f588d8f sched: Introduce per-memory-map concurrency ID
This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.

This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.

The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:

- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
  cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
  restricted cgroup cpuset per container.

One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.

On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.

Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.

The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].

The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:

* perf bench sched messaging (process)

Baseline:                    86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid:                 86.7±2.6 ms

Josh Don 8ad075c2eb sched: Async unthrottling for cfs bandwidth
CFS bandwidth currently distributes new runtime and unthrottles cfs_rq's
inline in an hrtimer callback. Runtime distribution is a per-cpu
operation, and unthrottling is a per-cgroup operation, since a tg walk
is required. On machines with a large number of cpus and large cgroup
hierarchies, this cpus*cgroups work can be too much to do in a single
hrtimer callback: since IRQ are disabled, hard lockups may easily occur.
Specifically, we've found this scalability issue on configurations with
256 cpus, O(1000) cgroups in the hierarchy being throttled, and high
memory bandwidth usage.

To fix this, we can instead unthrottle cfs_rq's asynchronously via a
CSD. Each cpu is responsible for unthrottling itself, thus sharding the
total work more fairly across the system, and avoiding hard lockups.

Waiman Long da01903281 sched: Enforce user requested affinity
It was found that the user requested affinity via sched_setaffinity()
can be easily overwritten by other kernel subsystems without an easy way
to reset it back to what the user requested. For example, any change
to the current cpuset hierarchy may reset the cpumask of the tasks in
the affected cpusets to the default cpuset value even if those tasks
have pre-existing user requested affinity. That is especially easy to
trigger under a cgroup v2 environment where writing "+cpuset" to the
root cgroup's cgroup.subtree_control file will reset the cpus affinity
of all the processes in the system.

That is problematic in a nohz_full environment where the tasks running
in the nohz_full CPUs usually have their cpus affinity explicitly set
and will behave incorrectly if cpus affinity changes.

Fix this problem by looking at user_cpus_ptr in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
and use it to restrcit the given cpumask unless there is no overlap. In
that case, it will fallback to the given one. The SCA_USER flag is
reused to indicate intent to set user_cpus_ptr and so user_cpus_ptr
masking should be skipped. In addition, masking should also be skipped
if any of the SCA_MIGRATE_* flag is set.

All callers of set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will be affected by this change.
A scratch cpumask is added to percpu runqueues structure for doing
additional masking when user_cpus_ptr is set.

Qais Yousef 44c7b80bff sched/fair: Detect capacity inversion
Check each performance domain to see if thermal pressure is causing its
capacity to be lower than another performance domain.

We assume that each performance domain has CPUs with the same
capacities, which is similar to an assumption made in energy_model.c

We also assume that thermal pressure impacts all CPUs in a performance
domain equally.

If there're multiple performance domains with the same capacity_orig, we
will trigger a capacity inversion if the domain is under thermal
pressure.

The new cpu_in_capacity_inversion() should help users to know when
information about capacity_orig are not reliable and can opt in to use
the inverted capacity as the 'actual' capacity_orig.

Qais Yousef 244226035a sched/uclamp: Fix fits_capacity() check in feec()
As reported by Yun Hsiang [1], if a task has its uclamp_min >= 0.8 * 1024,
it'll always pick the previous CPU because fits_capacity() will always
return false in this case.

The new util_fits_cpu() logic should handle this correctly for us beside
more corner cases where similar failures could occur, like when using
UCLAMP_MAX.

We open code uclamp_rq_util_with() except for the clamp() part,
util_fits_cpu() needs the 'raw' values to be passed to it.

Also introduce uclamp_rq_{set, get}() shorthand accessors to get uclamp
value for the rq. Makes the code more readable and ensures the right
rules (use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE) are respected transparently.

Huang Ying 33024536ba memory tiering: hot page selection with hint page fault latency
Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.

To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified. 
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote.  But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages.  Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g.  60 seconds).  So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault.  Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible.  But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.

A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput.  It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting.  But
the workload latency will be better.  This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.

The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent.  So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented.  The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.

We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed.  The test results are
as follows,

		pmbench score		promote rate
		 (accesses/s)			MB/s
		-------------		------------
base		  146887704.1		       725.6
hot selection     165695601.2		       544.0
rate limit	  162814569.8		       165.2
auto adjustment	  170495294.0                  136.9

From the results above,

With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.

With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.

With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.

Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).

sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120

The tps can be improved about 5%.


This patch (of 3):

To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified.  Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote.  But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages.  Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g.  60 seconds).  The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.

So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm. 
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,

- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
  to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
  time.

- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur.  The scan
  time is gotten from the struct page.  And The hint page fault
  latency is defined as

    hint page fault time - scan time

The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher.  So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.

It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time. 
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.

NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()).  Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth.  But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node.  So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages.  We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time.  For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.

For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test.  All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.

It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold.  So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment.  We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.

The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer.  For example,

- A previous cold memory area becomes hot

- The hint page fault will be triggered.  But the hint page fault
  latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold.  So the pages will
  not be promoted.

- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
  the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
  threshold and the pages will be promoted.

To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.

Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

Since commit b1e8206582 ("sched: Fix yet more sched_fork() races")

Chengming Zhou 78b6b15770 sched/fair: Maintain task se depth in set_task_rq()
Previously we only maintain task se depth in task_move_group_fair(),
if a !fair task change task group, its se depth will not be updated,
so commit eb7a59b2c8 ("sched/fair: Reset se-depth when task switched to FAIR")
fix the problem by updating se depth in switched_to_fair() too.

Then commit daa59407b5 ("sched/fair: Unify switched_{from,to}_fair()
and task_move_group_fair()") unified these two functions, moved se.depth
setting to attach_task_cfs_rq(), which further into attach_entity_cfs_rq()
with commit df217913e7 ("sched/fair: Factorize attach/detach entity").

This patch move task se depth maintenance from attach_entity_cfs_rq()
to set_task_rq(), which will be called when CPU/cgroup change, so its
depth will always be correct.

This patch is preparation for the next patch.

Ingo Molnar 09348d75a6 sched/all: Change all BUG_ON() instances in the scheduler to WARN_ON_ONCE()
There's no good reason to crash a user's system with a BUG_ON(),
chances are high that they'll never even see the crash message on
Xorg, and it won't make it into the syslog either.

By using a WARN_ON_ONCE() we at least give the user a chance to report
any bugs triggered here - instead of getting silent hangs.

None of these WARN_ON_ONCE()s are supposed to trigger, ever - so we ignore
cases where a NULL check is done via a BUG_ON() and we let a NULL
pointer through after a WARN_ON_ONCE().

There's one exception: WARN_ON_ONCE() arguments with side-effects,
such as locking - in this case we use the return value of the
WARN_ON_ONCE(), such as in:

 -       BUG_ON(!lock_task_sighand(p, &flags));
 +       if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!lock_task_sighand(p, &flags)))
 +               return;

Linus Torvalds b167fdffe9 This cycle's scheduler updates for v6.0 are:
Load-balancing improvements:
 ============================
 
 - Improve NUMA balancing on AMD Zen systems for affine workloads.
 
 - Improve the handling of reduced-capacity CPUs in load-balancing.
 
 - Energy Model improvements: fix & refine all the energy fairness metrics (PELT),
   and remove the conservative threshold requiring 6% energy savings to
   migrate a task. Doing this improves power efficiency for most workloads,
   and also increases the reliability of energy-efficiency scheduling.
 
 - Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time searching
   for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of several
   milliseconds spent there on large systems with large workloads ...
 
   [ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side effects. ]
 
 - Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems
   with spare capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic,
   and such an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time,
   hurting (and sometimes helping) performance.
 
   The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime
   NUMA balancing placement.
 
   Note that some performance regressions were reported against this,
   caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which benefit
   from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel Gorman's
   conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is better than
   random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs:
 
      "Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think it's
       better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork time
       and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit."
 
 - Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in sched_core_update_cookie() that
   caused unnecessary forced idling.
 
 - Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs for newly
   woken tasks.
 
 - Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup latencies.
 
 ABI improvements/fixes:
 =======================
 
 - Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial messages
   when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such as increasing niceness.)
 
 - Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too.
 
 - Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags.
   (No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the previous behavior.)
 
 - Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags.
 
 Optimizations:

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Load-balancing improvements:

   - Improve NUMA balancing on AMD Zen systems for affine workloads.

   - Improve the handling of reduced-capacity CPUs in load-balancing.

   - Energy Model improvements: fix & refine all the energy fairness
     metrics (PELT), and remove the conservative threshold requiring 6%
     energy savings to migrate a task. Doing this improves power
     efficiency for most workloads, and also increases the reliability
     of energy-efficiency scheduling.

   - Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time
     searching for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of
     several milliseconds spent there on large systems with large
     workloads ...

     [ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side
       effects. ]

   - Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems with spare
     capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic, and such
     an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time,
     hurting (and sometimes helping) performance.

     The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime
     NUMA balancing placement.

     Note that some performance regressions were reported against this,
     caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which
     benefit from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel
     Gorman's conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is
     better than random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs:

        "Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think
         it's better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork
         time and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit."

   - Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in
     sched_core_update_cookie() that caused unnecessary forced idling.

   - Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs
     for newly woken tasks.

   - Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup
     latencies.

  ABI improvements/fixes:

   - Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial
     messages when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such
     as increasing niceness.)

   - Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too.

   - Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags.
     (No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the
     previous behavior.)

   - Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags.

  Optimizations:

   - Optimize & simplify leaf_cfs_rq_list()

   - Micro-optimize set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling() via try_cmpxchg().

  Misc fixes & cleanups:

   - Fix the RSEQ self-tests on RISC-V and Glibc 2.35 systems.

   - Fix a full-NOHZ bug that can in some cases result in the tick not
     being re-enabled when the last SCHED_RT task is gone from a
     runqueue but there's still SCHED_OTHER tasks around.

   - Various PREEMPT_RT related fixes.

   - Misc cleanups & smaller fixes"

Dietmar Eggemann bb44799949 sched, drivers: Remove max param from effective_cpu_util()/sched_cpu_util()
effective_cpu_util() already has a `int cpu' parameter which allows to
retrieve the CPU capacity scale factor (or maximum CPU capacity) inside
this function via an arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu).

A lot of code calling effective_cpu_util() (or the shim
sched_cpu_util()) needs the maximum CPU capacity, i.e. it will call
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() already.
But not having to pass it into effective_cpu_util() will make the EAS
wake-up code easier, especially when the maximum CPU capacity reduced
by the thermal pressure is passed through the EAS wake-up functions.

Due to the asymmetric CPU capacity support of arm/arm64 architectures,
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu) is a per-CPU variable read access via
per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu) on such a system.
On all other architectures it is a a compile-time constant
(SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

Vincent Donnefort e2f3e35f1f sched/fair: Decay task PELT values during wakeup migration
Before being migrated to a new CPU, a task sees its PELT values
synchronized with rq last_update_time. Once done, that same task will also
have its sched_avg last_update_time reset. This means the time between
the migration and the last clock update will not be accounted for in
util_avg and a discontinuity will appear. This issue is amplified by the
PELT clock scaling. It takes currently one tick after the CPU being idle
to let clock_pelt catching up clock_task.

This is especially problematic for asymmetric CPU capacity systems which
need stable util_avg signals for task placement and energy estimation.

Ideally, this problem would be solved by updating the runqueue clocks
before the migration. But that would require taking the runqueue lock
which is quite expensive [1]. Instead estimate the missing time and update
the task util_avg with that value.

To that end, we need sched_clock_cpu() but it is a costly function. Limit
the usage to the case where the source CPU is idle as we know this is when
the clock is having the biggest risk of being outdated.

See comment in migrate_se_pelt_lag() for more details about how the PELT
value is estimated. Notice though this estimation doesn't take into account
IRQ and Paravirt time.

Vincent Donnefort d05b43059d sched/fair: Provide u64 read for 32-bits arch helper
Introducing macro helpers u64_u32_{store,load}() to factorize lockless
accesses to u64 variables for 32-bits architectures.

Users are for now cfs_rq.min_vruntime and sched_avg.last_update_time. To
accommodate the later where the copy lies outside of the structure
(cfs_rq.last_udpate_time_copy instead of sched_avg.last_update_time_copy),
use the _copy() version of those helpers.

Those new helpers encapsulate smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() synchronization and
therefore, have a small penalty for 32-bits machines in set_task_rq_fair()
and init_cfs_rq().

Tianchen Ding f3dd3f6745 sched: Remove the limitation of WF_ON_CPU on wakelist if wakee cpu is idle
Wakelist can help avoid cache bouncing and offload the overhead of waker
cpu. So far, using wakelist within the same llc only happens on
WF_ON_CPU, and this limitation could be removed to further improve
wakeup performance.

The commit 518cd62341 ("sched: Only queue remote wakeups when
crossing cache boundaries") disabled queuing tasks on wakelist when
the cpus share llc. This is because, at that time, the scheduler must
send IPIs to do ttwu_queue_wakelist. Nowadays, ttwu_queue_wakelist also
supports TIF_POLLING, so this is not a problem now when the wakee cpu is
in idle polling.

Benefits:
  Queuing the task on idle cpu can help improving performance on waker cpu
  and utilization on wakee cpu, and further improve locality because
  the wakee cpu can handle its own rq. This patch helps improving rt on
  our real java workloads where wakeup happens frequently.

  Consider the normal condition (CPU0 and CPU1 share same llc)
  Before this patch:

         CPU0                                       CPU1

    select_task_rq()                                idle
    rq_lock(CPU1->rq)
    enqueue_task(CPU1->rq)
    notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling)

                                                    resched()

  After this patch:

         CPU0                                       CPU1

    select_task_rq()                                idle
    add to wakelist of CPU1
    notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling)

                                                    rq_lock(CPU1->rq)
                                                    enqueue_task(CPU1->rq)
                                                    resched()

  We see CPU0 can finish its work earlier. It only needs to put task to
  wakelist and return.
  While CPU1 is idle, so let itself handle its own runqueue data.

This patch brings no difference about IPI.
  This patch only takes effect when the wakee cpu is:
  1) idle polling
  2) idle not polling

  For 1), there will be no IPI with or without this patch.

  For 2), there will always be an IPI before or after this patch.
  Before this patch: waker cpu will enqueue task and check preempt. Since
  "idle" will be sure to be preempted, waker cpu must send a resched IPI.
  After this patch: waker cpu will put the task to the wakelist of wakee
  cpu, and send an IPI.

in the case of CPU hotplug, specifically when taking the CPU out.

It does this by (ab)using the balance callback infrastructure, with
the express purpose of keeping all the unlikely/odd cases in a single
place.

In order to serve its purpose, the balance_push_callback needs to be
(exclusively) on the callback list at all times (noting that the
callback always places itself back on the list the moment it runs,
also noting that when the CPU goes down, regular balancing concerns
are moot, so ignoring them is fine).

And here-in lies the problem, __sched_setscheduler()'s use of
splice_balance_callbacks() takes the callbacks off the list across a
lock-break, making it possible for, an interleaving, __schedule() to
see an empty list and not get filtered.

Linus Torvalds 44d35720c9 sysctl changes for v5.19-rc1
For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
 slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
 all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
 
 This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
 going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
 just cleanups.
 
 I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
 pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
 have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
 The last change was merged May 4th.
 
 Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
 
 To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
 I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
 moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.

Because GCC-12 is fully stupid about array bounds and it's just really

Hao Jia 2679a83731 sched/core: Avoid obvious double update_rq_clock warning
When we use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire the rq lock and have to
update the rq clock while holding the lock, the kernel may issue
a WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

Since we directly use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire rq lock instead of
rq_lock(), there is no corresponding change to rq->clock_update_flags.
In particular, we have obtained the rq lock of other CPUs, the
rq->clock_update_flags of this CPU may be RQCF_UPDATED at this time, and
then calling update_rq_clock() will trigger the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

So we need to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq->clock_update_flags to avoid
the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

For the sched_rt_period_timer() and migrate_task_rq_dl() cases
we simply replace raw_spin_rq_lock()/raw_spin_rq_unlock() with
rq_lock()/rq_unlock().

For the {pull,push}_{rt,dl}_task() cases, we add the
double_rq_clock_clear_update() function to clear RQCF_UPDATED of
rq->clock_update_flags, and call double_rq_clock_clear_update()
before double_lock_balance()/double_rq_lock() returns to avoid the
WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

Peter Zijlstra 5b6547ed97 sched/core: Fix forceidle balancing
Steve reported that ChromeOS encounters the forceidle balancer being
ran from rt_mutex_setprio()'s balance_callback() invocation and
explodes.

Now, the forceidle balancer gets queued every time the idle task gets
selected, set_next_task(), which is strictly too often.
rt_mutex_setprio() also uses set_next_task() in the 'change' pattern:

	queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
	running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */

	if (queued)
		dequeue_task(...);
	if (running)
		put_prev_task(...);

	/* change task properties */

	if (queued)
		enqueue_task(...);
	if (running)
		set_next_task(...);

However, rt_mutex_setprio() will explicitly not run this pattern on
the idle task (since priority boosting the idle task is quite insane).
Most other 'change' pattern users are pidhash based and would also not
apply to idle.

Also, the change pattern doesn't contain a __balance_callback()
invocation and hence we could have an out-of-band balance-callback,
which *should* trigger the WARN in rq_pin_lock() (which guards against
this exact anti-pattern).

So while none of that explains how this happens, it does indicate that
having it in set_next_task() might not be the most robust option.

Instead, explicitly queue the forceidle balancer from pick_next_task()
when it does indeed result in forceidle selection. Having it here,
ensures it can only be triggered under the __schedule() rq->lock
instance, and hence must be ran from that context.

This also happens to clean up the code a little, so win-win.

Both functions are doing almost the same, that is checking if admission
control is still respected.

With exclusive cpusets, dl_task_can_attach() checks if the destination
cpuset (i.e. its root domain) has enough CPU capacity to accommodate the
task.
dl_cpu_busy() checks if there is enough CPU capacity in the cpuset in
case the CPU is hot-plugged out.

dl_task_can_attach() is used to check if a task can be admitted while
dl_cpu_busy() is used to check if a CPU can be hotplugged out.

Make dl_cpu_busy() able to deal with a task and use it instead of
dl_task_can_attach() in task_can_attach().
