Quentin Perret 4892f51ad5 sched/fair: Avoid redundant EAS calculation
The EAS wake-up path computes the system energy for several CPU
candidates: the CPU with maximum spare capacity in each performance
domain, and the prev_cpu. However, if prev_cpu also happens to be the
CPU with maximum spare capacity in its performance domain, the energy
calculation is still done twice, unnecessarily.

Add a condition to filter out this corner case before doing the energy
calculation.

Qian Cai 763a9ec06c sched/fair: Fix -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings
Commit:

   de53fd7aed ("sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of cpu-local slices")

introduced a few compilation warnings:

  kernel/sched/fair.c: In function '__refill_cfs_bandwidth_runtime':
  kernel/sched/fair.c:4365:6: warning: variable 'now' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  kernel/sched/fair.c: In function 'start_cfs_bandwidth':
  kernel/sched/fair.c:4992:6: warning: variable 'overrun' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Also, __refill_cfs_bandwidth_runtime() does no longer update the
expiration time, so fix the comments accordingly.

Eric W. Biederman 154abafc68 tasks, sched/core: With a grace period after finish_task_switch(), remove unnecessary code
Remove work arounds that were written before there was a grace period
after tasks left the runqueue in finish_task_switch().

In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience
a RCU grace period none of the work performed by task_rcu_dereference()
excpet the rcu_dereference() is necessary so replace task_rcu_dereference()
with rcu_dereference().

Remove the code in rcuwait_wait_event() that checks to ensure the current
task has not exited.  It is no longer necessary as it is guaranteed
that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it
leaves the run queueue.

Remove the comment in rcuwait_wake_up() as it is no longer relevant.

Qian Cai dac9f027b1 sched/fair: Remove unused cfs_rq_clock_task() function
cfs_rq_clock_task() was first introduced and used in:

  f1b17280ef ("sched: Maintain runnable averages across throttled periods")

Over time its use has been graduately removed by the following commits:

  d31b1a66cb ("sched/fair: Factorize PELT update")
  2312729688 ("sched/fair: Update scale invariance of PELT")

Today, there is no single user left, so it can be safely removed.

Found via the -Wunused-function build warning.

Linus Torvalds 7e67a85999 Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

 - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
   the Git log for more details.

Quentin Perret eb92692b25 sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups
EAS computes the energy impact of migrating a waking task when deciding
on which CPU it should run. However, the current approach is known to
have a high algorithmic complexity, which can result in prohibitively
high wake-up latencies on systems with complex energy models, such as
systems with per-CPU DVFS. On such systems, the algorithm complexity is
in O(n^2) (ignoring the cost of searching for performance states in the
EM) with 'n' the number of CPUs.

To address this, re-factor the EAS wake-up path to compute the energy
'delta' (with and without the task) on a per-performance domain basis,
rather than system-wide, which brings the complexity down to O(n).

No functional changes intended.

Test results
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Setup: Tested on a Google Pixel 3, with a Snapdragon 845 (4+4 CPUs,
  A55/A75). Base kernel is 5.3-rc5 + Pixel3 specific patches. Android
  userspace, no graphics.

* Test case:  Run a periodic rt-app task, with 16ms period, ramping down
  from 70% to 10%, in 5% steps of 500 ms each (json avail. at [1]).
  Frequencies of all CPUs are pinned to max (using scaling_min_freq
  CPUFreq sysfs entries) to reduce variability. The time to run
  select_task_rq_fair() is measured using the function profiler
  (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*). See the test script
  for more details [2].

Test 1:

I hacked the DT to 'fake' per-CPU DVFS. That is, we end up with one
CPUFreq policy per CPU (8 policies in total). Since all frequencies are
pinned to max for the test, this should have no impact on the actual
frequency selection, but it does in the EAS calculation.

Liangyan 5e2d2cc258 sched/fair: Don't assign runtime for throttled cfs_rq
do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b->runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly, then other cfs_rqs
attached to this cfs_b can't get runtime and will be throttled.

We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq->runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet:

  distribute_cfs_runtime() {
    runtime = -cfs_rq->runtime_remaining + 1;
  }

The runtime here will change to a large number and consume all
cfs_b->runtime in this cfs_b period.

According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.

This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled until that distribute_cfs_runtime is called.

Peter Zijlstra 67692435c4 sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path
Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.

By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().

This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.

Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

Peter Zijlstra 5f2a45fc9e sched: Allow put_prev_task() to drop rq->lock
Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.

For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do
balancing, and we could do this before the picking loop. Make this
possible.

Dave Chiluk de53fd7aed sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of cpu-local slices
It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications
running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of
periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated
amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu
bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when
run on multiple cpu cores.

This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu
bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period.
At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused
slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for
which they are allocated.

The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by
'commit 512ac999d2 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift
condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since
at least 'commit 51f2176d74 ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b->quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That
added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being
expired.

if (cfs_rq->runtime_expires != cfs_b->runtime_expires) {
	/* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */
	cfs_rq->runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC;

Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed
and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion
that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed
altogether.

This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer
than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not
use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer
period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the
above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing
your cpu quota.

This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its
allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the
remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no
more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will
change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their
quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this
provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu
utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they
hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per
period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate
over longer timeframes.

This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound
applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count
machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on
80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance
improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.
That testcase is available at https://github.com/indeedeng/fibtest.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by

Viresh Kumar 3c29e651e1 sched/fair: Fall back to sched-idle CPU if idle CPU isn't found
We try to find an idle CPU to run the next task, but in case we don't
find an idle CPU it is better to pick a CPU which will run the task the
soonest, for performance reason.

A CPU which isn't idle but has only SCHED_IDLE activity queued on it
should be a good target based on this criteria as any normal fair task
will most likely preempt the currently running SCHED_IDLE task
immediately. In fact, choosing a SCHED_IDLE CPU over a fully idle one
shall give better results as it should be able to run the task sooner
than an idle CPU (which requires to be woken up from an idle state).

This patch updates both fast and slow paths with this optimization.

Vincent Guittot f6cad8df6b sched/fair: Fix imbalance due to CPU affinity
The load_balance() has a dedicated mecanism to detect when an imbalance
is due to CPU affinity and must be handled at parent level. In this case,
the imbalance field of the parent's sched_group is set.

The description of sg_imbalanced() gives a typical example of two groups
of 4 CPUs each and 4 tasks each with a cpumask covering 1 CPU of the first
group and 3 CPUs of the second group. Something like:

	{ 0 1 2 3 } { 4 5 6 7 }
	        *     * * *

But the load_balance fails to fix this UC on my octo cores system
made of 2 clusters of quad cores.

Whereas the load_balance is able to detect that the imbalanced is due to
CPU affinity, it fails to fix it because the imbalance field is cleared
before letting parent level a chance to run. In fact, when the imbalance is
detected, the load_balance reruns without the CPU with pinned tasks. But
there is no other running tasks in the situation described above and
everything looks balanced this time so the imbalance field is immediately
cleared.

The imbalance field should not be cleared if there is no other task to move
when the imbalance is detected.

Jann Horn 16d51a590a sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers
When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

 - Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a

   boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
   sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
   sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
   governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.

 - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
   testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
   power management features, including energy aware scheduling.

 - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
   kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
   migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
   taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
   Andrzej Siewior.

 - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
   Git log for details.

Patrick Bellasi af24bde8df sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute()
The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy impact of waking
up a task on a given CPU. This estimation is based on:

 a) an (active) power consumption defined for each CPU frequency
 b) an estimation of which frequency will be used on each CPU
 c) an estimation of the busy time (utilization) of each CPU

Utilization clamping can affect both b) and c).

A CPU is expected to run:

 - on an higher than required frequency, but for a shorter time, in case
   its estimated utilization will be smaller than the minimum utilization
   enforced by uclamp
 - on a smaller than required frequency, but for a longer time, in case
   its estimated utilization is bigger than the maximum utilization
   enforced by uclamp

While compute_energy() already accounts clamping effects on busy time,
the clamping effects on frequency selection are currently ignored.

Fix it by considering how CPU clamp values will be affected by a
task waking up and being RUNNABLE on that CPU.

Do that by refactoring schedutil_freq_util() to take an additional
task_struct* which allows EAS to evaluate the impact on clamp values of
a task being eventually queued in a CPU. Clamp values are applied to the
RT+CFS utilization only when a FREQUENCY_UTIL is required by
compute_energy().

Do note that switching from ENERGY_UTIL to FREQUENCY_UTIL in the
computation of the cpu_util signal implies that we are more likely to
estimate the highest OPP when a RT task is running in another CPU of
the same performance domain. This can have an impact on energy
estimation but:

 - it's not easy to say which approach is better, since it depends on
   the use case
 - the original approach could still be obtained by setting a smaller
   task-specific util_min whenever required

Since we are at that:

 - rename schedutil_freq_util() into schedutil_cpu_util(),
   since it's not only used for frequency selection.

Patrick Bellasi 982d9cdc22 sched/cpufreq, sched/uclamp: Add clamps for FAIR and RT tasks
Each time a frequency update is required via schedutil, a frequency is
selected to (possibly) satisfy the utilization reported by each
scheduling class and irqs. However, when utilization clamping is in use,
the frequency selection should consider userspace utilization clamping
hints.  This will allow, for example, to:

 - boost tasks which are directly affecting the user experience
   by running them at least at a minimum "requested" frequency

 - cap low priority tasks not directly affecting the user experience
   by running them only up to a maximum "allowed" frequency

These constraints are meant to support a per-task based tuning of the
frequency selection thus supporting a fine grained definition of
performance boosting vs energy saving strategies in kernel space.

Add support to clamp the utilization of RUNNABLE FAIR and RT tasks
within the boundaries defined by their aggregated utilization clamp
constraints.

Do that by considering the max(min_util, max_util) to give boosted tasks
the performance they need even when they happen to be co-scheduled with
other capped tasks.

The new tracepoint allows us to track the changes in overutilized
status.

Overutilized status is associated with EAS. It indicates that the system
is in high performance state. EAS is disabled when the system is in this
state since there's not much energy savings while high performance tasks
are pushing the system to the limit and it's better to default to the
spreading behavior of the scheduler.

This tracepoint helps understanding and debugging the conditions under
which this happens.

bsegall@google.com 66567fcbae sched/fair: Don't push cfs_bandwith slack timers forward
When a cfs_rq sleeps and returns its quota, we delay for 5ms before
waking any throttled cfs_rqs to coalesce with other cfs_rqs going to
sleep, as this has to be done outside of the rq lock we hold.

The current code waits for 5ms without any sleeps, instead of waiting
for 5ms from the first sleep, which can delay the unthrottle more than
we want. Switch this around so that we can't push this forward forever.

This requires an extra flag rather than using hrtimer_active, since we
need to start a new timer if the current one is in the process of
finishing.

Valentin Schneider b0c7922441 sched/fair: Clean up definition of NOHZ blocked load functions
cfs_rq_has_blocked() and others_have_blocked() are only used within
update_blocked_averages(). The !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED version of the
latter calls them within a #define CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON block, whereas
the CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED one calls them unconditionnally.

As reported by Qian, the above leads to this warning in
!CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON configs:

  kernel/sched/fair.c: In function 'update_blocked_averages':
  kernel/sched/fair.c:7750:7: warning: variable 'done' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

It wouldn't be wrong to keep cfs_rq_has_blocked() and
others_have_blocked() as they are, but since their only current use is
to figure out when we can stop calling update_blocked_averages() on
fully decayed NOHZ idle CPUs, we can give them a new definition for
!CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON.

Change the definition of cfs_rq_has_blocked() and
others_have_blocked() for !CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON so that the
NOHZ-specific blocks of update_blocked_averages() become no-ops and
the 'done' variable gets optimised out.

While at it, remove the CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON block from the
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED definition of update_blocked_averages() by
using the newly-introduced update_blocked_load_status() helper.

No change in functionality intended.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 3bd3706251 sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask
In commit:

  4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")

the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.

As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:

	struct task_struct {
		const cpumask_t		*cpus_ptr;
		cpumask_t		cpus_mask;
        };
with
	t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;

In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:

	t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));

in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:

 - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
 - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Nicholas Piggin 9b019acb72 sched/nohz: Run NOHZ idle load balancer on HK_FLAG_MISC CPUs
The NOHZ idle balancer runs on the lowest idle CPU. This can
interfere with isolated CPUs, so confine it to HK_FLAG_MISC
housekeeping CPUs.

HK_FLAG_SCHED is not used for this because it is not set anywhere
at the moment. This could be folded into HK_FLAG_SCHED once that
option is fixed.

The problem was observed with increased jitter on an application
running on CPU0, caused by NOHZ idle load balancing being run on
CPU1 (an SMT sibling).

Xie XiuQi a860fa7b96 sched/numa: Fix a possible divide-by-zero
sched_clock_cpu() may not be consistent between CPUs. If a task
migrates to another CPU, then se.exec_start is set to that CPU's
rq_clock_task() by update_stats_curr_start(). Specifically, the new
value might be before the old value due to clock skew.

So then if in numa_get_avg_runtime() the expression:

  'now - p->last_task_numa_placement'

ends up as -1, then the divider '*period + 1' in task_numa_placement()
is 0 and things go bang. Similar to update_curr(), check if time goes
backwards to avoid this.

Phil Auld 2e8e192263 sched/fair: Limit sched_cfs_period_timer() loop to avoid hard lockup
With extremely short cfs_period_us setting on a parent task group with a large
number of children the for loop in sched_cfs_period_timer() can run until the
watchdog fires. There is no guarantee that the call to hrtimer_forward_now()
will ever return 0.  The large number of children can make
do_sched_cfs_period_timer() take longer than the period.

 NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 24
 RIP: 0010:tg_nop+0x0/0x10
  <IRQ>
  walk_tg_tree_from+0x29/0xb0
  unthrottle_cfs_rq+0xe0/0x1a0

  hrtimer_interrupt+0x122/0x270
  smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6a/0x140
  apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20
  </IRQ>

To prevent this we add protection to the loop that detects when the loop has run
too many times and scales the period and quota up, proportionally, so that the timer
can complete before then next period expires.  This preserves the relative runtime
quota while preventing the hard lockup.

A warning is issued reporting this state and the new values.

Mel Gorman 0e9f02450d sched/fair: Do not re-read ->h_load_next during hierarchical load calculation
A NULL pointer dereference bug was reported on a distribution kernel but
the same issue should be present on mainline kernel. It occured on s390
but should not be arch-specific.  A partial oops looks like:

  Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
  ...
  Call Trace:
    ...
    try_to_wake_up+0xfc/0x450
    vhost_poll_wakeup+0x3a/0x50 [vhost]
    __wake_up_common+0xbc/0x178
    __wake_up_common_lock+0x9e/0x160
    __wake_up_sync_key+0x4e/0x60
    sock_def_readable+0x5e/0x98

The bug hits any time between 1 hour to 3 days. The dereference occurs
in update_cfs_rq_h_load when accumulating h_load. The problem is that
cfq_rq->h_load_next is not protected by any locking and can be updated
by parallel calls to task_h_load. Depending on the compiler, code may be
generated that re-reads cfq_rq->h_load_next after the check for NULL and
then oops when reading se->avg.load_avg. The dissassembly showed that it
was possible to reread h_load_next after the check for NULL.

While this does not appear to be an issue for later compilers, it's still
an accident if the correct code is generated. Full locking in this path
would have high overhead so this patch uses READ_ONCE to read h_load_next
only once and check for NULL before dereferencing. It was confirmed that
there were no further oops after 10 days of testing.

As Peter pointed out, it is also necessary to use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid any
potential problems with store tearing.
