Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:
- Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
- Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
attempt
- Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
- Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
of __switch_to_xtra().
- Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
prevent stale mitigation state.
As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

Currently the 'sched_smt_present' static key is enabled when at CPU bringup
SMT topology is observed, but it is never disabled. However there is demand
to also disable the key when the topology changes such that there is no SMT
present anymore.
Implement this by making the key count the number of cores that have SMT
enabled.
In particular, the SMT topology bits are set before interrrupts are enabled
and similarly, are cleared after interrupts are disabled for the last time
and the CPU dies.

A ~10% regression has been reported for UnixBench's execl throughput
test by Aaron Lu and Ye Xiaolong:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/30/765
That test is pretty simple, it does a "recursive" execve() syscall on the
same binary. Starting from the syscall, this sequence is possible:
do_execve()
do_execveat_common()
__do_execve_file()
sched_exec()
select_task_rq_fair() <==| Task already enqueued
find_idlest_cpu()
find_idlest_group()
capacity_spare_wake() <==| Functions not called from
cpu_util_wake() | the wakeup path
which means we can end up calling cpu_util_wake() not only from the
"wakeup path", as its name would suggest. Indeed, the task doing an
execve() syscall is already enqueued on the CPU we want to get the
cpu_util_wake() for.
The estimated utilization for a CPU computed in cpu_util_wake() was
written under the assumption that function can be called only from the
wakeup path. If instead the task is already enqueued, we end up with a
utilization which does not remove the current task's contribution from
the estimated utilization of the CPU.
This will wrongly assume a reduced spare capacity on the current CPU and
increase the chances to migrate the task on execve.
The regression is tracked down to:
commit d519329f72 ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")
because in that patch we turn on by default the UTIL_EST sched feature.
However, the real issue is introduced by:
commit f9be3e5961 ("sched/fair: Use util_est in LB and WU paths")
Let's fix this by ensuring to always discount the task estimated
utilization from the CPU's estimated utilization when the task is also
the current one. The same benchmark of the bug report, executed on a
dual socket 40 CPUs Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz machine,
reports these "Execl Throughput" figures (higher the better):
mainline : 48136.5 lps
mainline+fix : 55376.5 lps
which correspond to a 15% speedup.
Moreover, since {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_wake() are not really only
used from the wakeup path, let's remove this ambiguity by using a better
matching name: {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_without().
Since we are at that, let's also improve the existing documentation.

The static_key in question is 'sched_asym_cpucapacity' introduced by
commit:
df054e8445 ("sched/topology: Add static_key for asymmetric CPU capacity optimizations")
In this particular case, we enable it because smp_prepare_cpus() will
end up fetching the capacity-dmips-mhz entry from the devicetree,
so we already have some asymmetry detected when entering sched_init_smp().
This didn't get detected in tip/sched/core because we were missing:
commit cb538267ea ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations")
Calls to build_sched_domains() post sched_init_smp() will hold the
hotplug lock, it just so happens that this very first call is a
special case. As stated by a comment in sched_init_smp(), "There's no
userspace yet to cause hotplug operations" so this is a harmless
warning.
However, to both respect the semantics of underlying
callees and make lockdep happy, take the hotplug lock in
sched_init_smp(). This also satisfies the comment atop
sched_init_domains() that says "Callers must hold the hotplug lock".

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but
also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.
This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

The function get_loadavg() returns almost always zero. To be more
precise, statistically speaking for a total of 1023379 times passing
in the function, the load is equal to zero 1020728 times, greater than
100, 610 times, the remaining is between 0 and 5.
In 2011, the get_loadavg() was removed from the Android tree because
of the above [1]. At this time, the load was:
unsigned long this_cpu_load(void)
{
struct rq *this = this_rq();
return this->cpu_load[0];
}
In 2014, the code was changed by commit 372ba8cb46 (cpuidle: menu: Lookup CPU
runqueues less) and the load is:
void get_iowait_load(unsigned long *nr_waiters, unsigned long *load)
{
struct rq *rq = this_rq();
*nr_waiters = atomic_read(&rq->nr_iowait);
*load = rq->load.weight;
}
with the same result.
Both measurements show using the load in this code path does no matter
anymore. Removing it.

The following commit:
d7880812b3 ("idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()")
... added an x86 specific boot_init_stack_canary() call to the generic
cpu_startup_entry() as a temporary hack, with the intention to remove
the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 later.
More than 5 years later let's finally realize that plan! :-)
While implementing stack protector support for PowerPC, we found
that calling boot_init_stack_canary() is also needed for PowerPC
which uses per task (TLS) stack canary like the X86.
However, calling boot_init_stack_canary() would break architectures
using a global stack canary (ARM, SH, MIPS and XTENSA).
Instead of modifying the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 to an even messier:
#if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_PPC)
PowerPC implemented the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in the function
calling cpu_startup_entry().
Let's try the same cleanup on the x86 side as well.
On x86 we have two functions calling cpu_startup_entry():
- start_secondary()
- cpu_bringup_and_idle()
start_secondary() already calls boot_init_stack_canary(), so
it's good, and this patch adds the call to boot_init_stack_canary()
in cpu_bringup_and_idle().
I.e. now x86 catches up to the rest of the world and the ugly init
sequence in init/main.c can be removed from cpu_startup_entry().
As a final benefit we can also remove the <linux/stackprotector.h>
dependency from <linux/sched.h>.

With a very low cpu.cfs_quota_us setting, such as the minimum of 1000,
distribute_cfs_runtime may not empty the throttled_list before it runs
out of runtime to distribute. In that case, due to the change from
c06f04c704 to put throttled entries at the head of the list, later entries
on the list will starve. Essentially, the same X processes will get pulled
off the list, given CPU time and then, when expired, get put back on the
head of the list where distribute_cfs_runtime will give runtime to the same
set of processes leaving the rest.
Fix the issue by setting a bit in struct cfs_bandwidth when
distribute_cfs_runtime is running, so that the code in throttle_cfs_rq can
decide to put the throttled entry on the tail or the head of the list. The
bit is set/cleared by the callers of distribute_cfs_runtime while they hold
cfs_bandwidth->lock.
This is easy to reproduce with a handful of CPU consumers. I use 'crash' on
the live system. In some cases you can simply look at the throttled list and
see the later entries are not changing:
crash> list cfs_rq.throttled_list -H 0xffff90b54f6ade40 -s cfs_rq.runtime_remaining | paste - - | awk '{print $1" "$4}' | pr -t -n3

Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page
should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging
if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently.
Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the
parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than
a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be
load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay
before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private
pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter
as an identifier of new tasks.
With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though
processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed
a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads
are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process.

A CFS (SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_IDLE policy) task's
se->runnable_weight must always be in sync with its se->load.weight.
se->runnable_weight is set to se->load.weight when the task is
forked (init_entity_runnable_average()) or reniced (reweight_entity()).
There are two cases in set_load_weight() which since they currently only
set se->load.weight could lead to a situation in which se->load.weight
is different to se->runnable_weight for a CFS task:
(1) A task switches to SCHED_IDLE.
(2) A SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR or SCHED_DEADLINE task which has been reniced
(during which only its static priority gets set) switches to
SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH.
Set se->runnable_weight to se->load.weight in these two cases to prevent
this. This eliminates the need to explicitly set it to se->load.weight
during PELT updates in the CFS scheduler fastpath.

LB_BIAS allows the adjustment on how conservative load should be
balanced.
The rq->cpu_load[idx] array is used for this functionality. It contains
weighted CPU load decayed average values over different intervals
(idx = 1..4). Idx = 0 is the weighted CPU load itself.
The values are updated during scheduler_tick, before idle balance and at
nohz exit.
There are 5 different types of idx's per sched domain (sd). Each of them
is used to index into the rq->cpu_load[idx] array in a specific scenario
(busy, idle and newidle for load balancing, forkexec for wake-up
slow-path load balancing and wake for affine wakeup based on weight).
Only the sd idx's for busy and idle load balancing are set to 2,3 or 1,2
respectively. All the other sd idx's are set to 0.
Conservative load balancing is achieved for sd idx's >= 1 by using the
min/max (source_load()/target_load()) value between the current weighted
CPU load and the rq->cpu_load[sd idx -1] for the busiest(idlest)/local
CPU load in load balancing or vice versa in the wake-up slow-path load
balancing.
There is no conservative balancing for sd idx = 0 since only current
weighted CPU load is used in this case.
It is very likely that LB_BIAS' influence on load balancing can be
neglected (see test results below). This is further supported by:
(1) Weighted CPU load today is by itself a decayed average value (PELT)
(cfs_rq->avg->runnable_load_avg) and not the instantaneous load
(rq->load.weight) it was when LB_BIAS was introduced.
(2) Sd imbalance_pct is used for CPU_NEWLY_IDLE and CPU_NOT_IDLE (relate
to sd's newidle and busy idx) in find_busiest_group() when comparing
busiest and local avg load to make load balancing even more
conservative.
(3) The sd forkexec and newidle idx are always set to 0 so there is no
adjustment on how conservatively load balancing is done here.
(4) Affine wakeup based on weight (wake_affine_weight()) will not be
impacted since the sd wake idx is always set to 0.
Let's disable LB_BIAS by default for a few kernel releases to make sure
that no workload and no scheduler topology is affected. The benefit of
being able to remove the LB_BIAS dependency from source_load() and
target_load() is that the entire rq->cpu_load[idx] code could be removed
in this case.
It is really hard to say if there is no regression w/o testing this with
a lot of different workloads on a lot of different platforms, especially
NUMA machines.
The following 104 LKP (Linux Kernel Performance) tests were run by the
0-Day guys mostly on multi-socket hosts with a larger number of logical
cpus (88, 192).
The base for the test was commit b3dae109fa ("sched/swait: Rename to
exclusive") (tip/sched/core v4.18-rc1).
Only 2 out of the 104 tests had a significant change in one of the
metrics (fsmark/1x-1t-1HDD-btrfs-nfsv4-4M-60G-NoSync-performance +7%
files_per_sec, unixbench/300s-100%-syscall-performance -11% score).
Tests which showed a change in one of the metrics are marked with a '*'

LLVM has a warning that tags expressions like:

This pattern triggers for CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=n where sched_feat() ends

The 'prefer sibling' sched_domain flag is intended to encourage
spreading tasks to sibling sched_domain to take advantage of more caches
and core for SMT systems. It has recently been changed to be on all
non-NUMA topology level. However, spreading across domains with CPU
capacity asymmetry isn't desirable, e.g. spreading from high capacity to
low capacity CPUs even if high capacity CPUs aren't overutilized might
give access to more cache but the CPU will be slower and possibly lead
to worse overall throughput.
To prevent this, we need to remove SD_PREFER_SIBLING on the sched_domain
level immediately below SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY.

When lower capacity CPUs are load balancing and considering to pull
something from a higher capacity group, we should not pull tasks from a
CPU with only one task running as this is guaranteed to impede progress
for that task. If there is more than one task running, load balance in
the higher capacity group would have already made any possible moves to
resolve imbalance and we should make better use of system compute
capacity by moving a task if we still have more than one running.

Idle balance is a great opportunity to pull a misfit task. However,
there are scenarios where misfit tasks are present but idle balance is
prevented by the overload flag.
A good example of this is a workload of n identical tasks. Let's suppose
we have a 2+2 Arm big.LITTLE system. We then spawn 4 fairly
CPU-intensive tasks - for the sake of simplicity let's say they are just
CPU hogs, even when running on big CPUs.
They are identical tasks, so on an SMP system they should all end at
(roughly) the same time. However, in our case the LITTLE CPUs are less
performing than the big CPUs, so tasks running on the LITTLEs will have
a longer completion time.
This means that the big CPUs will complete their work earlier, at which
point they should pull the tasks from the LITTLEs. What we want to
happen is summarized as follows:
a,b,c,d are our CPU-hogging tasks _ signifies idling
LITTLE_0 | a a a a _ _
LITTLE_1 | b b b b _ _
---------|-------------
big_0 | c c c c a a
big_1 | d d d d b b
^
^
Tasks end on the big CPUs, idle balance happens
and the misfit tasks are pulled straight away
This however won't happen, because currently the overload flag is only
set when there is any CPU that has more than one runnable task - which
may very well not be the case here if our CPU-hogging workload is all
there is to run.
As such, this commit sets the overload flag in update_sg_lb_stats when
a group is flagged as having a misfit task.

sizeof(_Bool) is implementation defined, so let's just go with 'int' as
is done for other structures e.g. sched_domain_shared->has_idle_cores.
The local 'overload' variable used in update_sd_lb_stats can remain
bool, as it won't impact any struct layout and can be assigned to the
root_domain field.
