When picking a CPU on task wakeup, select_idle_core() has to take
into account the scheduling domain where the function looks for the CPU.
This is because the "isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs
from the domain to isolate them from other SMT siblings.
This change replaces the set of CPUs allowed to run the task from
p->cpus_ptr by the intersection of p->cpus_ptr and sched_domain_span(sd)
which is stored in the 'cpus' argument provided by select_idle_cpu().

Use existing helper function cpu_util_irq() instead of open-coding

During review it was noted that ->avg_irq could be updated by a
different CPU than the one which is trying to access it.
->avg_irq is updated with WRITE_ONCE(), use READ_ONCE to access it
in order to avoid any compiler optimizations.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop
machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's
guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call
to idle.
Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes
into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is
actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state.
Remove the confusing call and the obsolete case handling and convert it
to a sanity check that verifies the above assumption.

RISC-V uses xRET instructions on return from interrupt and to go back
to user-space; the xRET instruction is not core serializing.
Use FENCE.I for providing core serialization as follows:
- by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf.
ipi_sync_core()),
- via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for
uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning
to user-space.
On RISC-V, the serialization in switch_mm() is activated by resetting
the icache_stale_mask of the mm at prepare_sync_core_cmd().

The membarrier system call requires a full memory barrier after storing
to rq->curr, before going back to user-space. The barrier is only
needed when switching between processes: the barrier is implied by
mmdrop() when switching from kernel to userspace, and it's not needed
when switching from userspace to kernel.
Rely on the feature/mechanism ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_CALLBACKS and on the
primitive membarrier_arch_switch_mm(), already adopted by the PowerPC
architecture, to insert the required barrier.

"Fix a cpufreq related performance regression on certain systems, where

sched/fair: Fix frequency selection for non-invariant case
Linus reported a ~50% performance regression on single-threaded
workloads on his AMD Ryzen system, and bisected it to:
9c0b4bb7f6 ("sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation")
When frequency invariance is not enabled, get_capacity_ref_freq(policy)
is supposed to return the current frequency and the performance margin
applied by map_util_perf(), enabling the utilization to go above the
maximum compute capacity and to select a higher frequency than the current one.
After the changes in 9c0b4bb7f6, the performance margin was applied
earlier in the path to take into account utilization clampings and
we couldn't get a utilization higher than the maximum compute capacity,
and the CPU remained 'stuck' at lower frequencies.
To fix this, we must use a frequency above the current frequency to
get a chance to select a higher OPP when the current one becomes fully used.
Apply the same margin and return a frequency 25% higher than the current
one in order to switch to the next OPP before we fully use the CPU
at the current one.

When a CPU is taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups'
load may remain and will negatively impact the calculation of the share of
the online CPUs.
To fix this bug, clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups'
load and skip its contribution while it is inactive.
Here's the reproducer of the anomaly, by Imran Khan:
"So far I have encountered only one rather lengthy way of reproducing this issue,
which is as follows:
1. Take a KVM guest (booted with 4 CPUs and can be scaled up to 124 CPUs) and
create 2 custom cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/
cpu/test_group_2
2. Assign a CPU intensive workload to each of these cgroups and start the
workload.
For my tests I am using following app:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long count, i, val;
if (argc != 2) {
printf("usage: ./a.out <number of random nums to generate> \n");
return 0;
}
count = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10);
printf("Generating %lu random numbers \n", count);
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
val = rand();
val = val % 2;
//usleep(1);
}
printf("Generated %lu random numbers \n", count);
return 0;
}
Also since the system is booted with 4 CPUs, in order to completely load the
system I am also launching 4 instances of same test app under:
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/
3. We can see that both of the cgroups get similar CPU time:
# systemd-cgtop --depth 1
Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s
/ 659 - 5.5G - -
/system.slice - - 5.7G - -

/test_group_2 3 56.3 - - -
/user.slice 29 43.1 51.8M - -
/system.slice - 0.7 5.7G - -
4. Now move systemd-udevd to one of these test groups, say test_group_1, and
perform scale up to 124 CPUs followed by scale down back to 4 CPUs from the
host side.
5. Run the same workload i.e 4 instances of CPU hogger under /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
and one instance of CPU hogger each in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and
/sys/fs/cgroup/test_group_2.
It can be seen that test_group_1 (the one where systemd-udevd was moved) is getting
much less CPU time than the test_group_2, even though at this point of time both of
these groups have only CPU hogger running:
# systemd-cgtop --depth 1

From sched_debug data it can be seen that in bad case the load.weight of per-CPU
sched entities corresponding to test_group_1 has reduced significantly and
also load_avg of test_group_1 remains much higher than that of test_group_2,
even though systemd-udevd stopped running long time back and at this point of
time both cgroups just have the CPU hogger app as running entity."

Running N CPU-bound tasks on an N CPUs platform:
- with asymmetric CPU capacity
- not being a DynamIq system (i.e. having a PKG level sched domain
without the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set)
.. might result in a task placement where two tasks run on a big CPU
and none on a little CPU. This placement could be more optimal by
using all CPUs.
Testing platform:
Juno-r2:
- 2 big CPUs (1-2), maximum capacity of 1024
- 4 little CPUs (0,3-5), maximum capacity of 383
Testing workload ([1]):
Spawn 6 CPU-bound tasks. During the first 100ms (step 1), each tasks
is affine to a CPU, except for:
- one little CPU which is left idle.
- one big CPU which has 2 tasks affine.
After the 100ms (step 2), remove the cpumask affinity.
Behavior before the patch:
During step 2, the load balancer running from the idle CPU tags sched
domains as:
- little CPUs: 'group_has_spare'. Cf. group_has_capacity() and
group_is_overloaded(), 3 CPU-bound tasks run on a 4 CPUs
sched-domain, and the idle CPU provides enough spare capacity
regarding the imbalance_pct
- big CPUs: 'group_overloaded'. Indeed, 3 tasks run on a 2 CPUs
sched-domain, so the following path is used:
group_is_overloaded()
\-if (sgs->sum_nr_running <= sgs->group_weight) return true;
The following path which would change the migration type to
'migrate_task' is not taken:
calculate_imbalance()
\-if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->imbalance == 0)
as the local group has some spare capacity, so the imbalance
is not 0.
The migration type requested is 'migrate_util' and the busiest
runqueue is the big CPU's runqueue having 2 tasks (each having a
utilization of 512). The idle little CPU cannot pull one of these
task as its capacity is too small for the task. The following path
is used:
detach_tasks()
\-case migrate_util:
\-if (util > env->imbalance) goto next;
After the patch:
As the number of failed balancing attempts grows (with
'nr_balance_failed'), progressively make it easier to migrate
a big task to the idling little CPU. A similar mechanism is
used for the 'migrate_load' migration type.
Improvement:
Running the testing workload [1] with the step 2 representing
a ~10s load for a big CPU:
Before patch: ~19.3s
After patch: ~18s (-6.7%)

The current method to take into account uclamp hints when estimating the
target frequency can end in a situation where the selected target
frequency is finally higher than uclamp hints, whereas there are no real
needs. Such cases mainly happen because we are currently mixing the
traditional scheduler utilization signal with the uclamp performance
hints. By adding these 2 metrics, we loose an important information when
it comes to select the target frequency, and we have to make some
assumptions which can't fit all cases.
Rework the interface between the scheduler and schedutil governor in order
to propagate all information down to the cpufreq governor.
effective_cpu_util() interface changes and now returns the actual
utilization of the CPU with 2 optional inputs:
- The minimum performance for this CPU; typically the capacity to handle
the deadline task and the interrupt pressure. But also uclamp_min
request when available.
- The maximum targeting performance for this CPU which reflects the
maximum level that we would like to not exceed. By default it will be
the CPU capacity but can be reduced because of some performance hints
set with uclamp. The value can be lower than actual utilization and/or
min performance level.
A new sugov_effective_cpu_perf() interface is also available to compute
the final performance level that is targeted for the CPU, after applying
some cpufreq headroom and taking into account all inputs.
With these 2 functions, schedutil is now able to decide when it must go
above uclamp hints. It now also has a generic way to get the min
performance level.
The dependency between energy model and cpufreq governor and its headroom
policy doesn't exist anymore.
eenv_pd_max_util() asks schedutil for the targeted performance after
applying the impact of the waking task.

Lukasz Luba reported that a thread's util_est can significantly decrease as
a result of sharing the CPU with other threads.
The use case can be easily reproduced with a periodic task TA that runs 1ms
and sleeps 100us. When the task is alone on the CPU, its max utilization and
its util_est is around 888. If another similar task starts to run on the
same CPU, TA will have to share the CPU runtime and its maximum utilization
will decrease around half the CPU capacity (512) then TA's util_est will
follow this new maximum trend which is only the result of sharing the CPU
with others tasks.
Such situation can be detected with runnable_avg wich is close or
equal to util_avg when TA is alone, but increases above util_avg when TA
shares the CPU with other threads and wait on the runqueue.
[ We prefer an util_est that overestimate rather than under estimate
because in 1st case we will not provide enough performance to the
task which will remain under-provisioned, whereas in the other case we
will create some idle time which will enable to reduce contention and
as a result reduces the util_est so the overestimate will be transient
whereas the underestimate will remain. ]

Low priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) can suffer starvation if tasks
with higher priority (e.g., SCHED_FIFO) monopolize CPU(s).
RT Throttling has been introduced a while ago as a (mostly debug)
countermeasure one can utilize to reserve some CPU time for low priority
tasks (usually background type of work, e.g. workqueues, timers, etc.).
It however has its own problems (see documentation) and the undesired
effect of unconditionally throttling FIFO tasks even when no lower
priority activity needs to run (there are mechanisms to fix this issue
as well, but, again, with their own problems).
Introduce deadline servers to service low priority tasks needs under
starvation conditions. Deadline servers are built extending SCHED_DEADLINE
implementation to allow 2-level scheduling (a sched_deadline entity
becomes a container for lower priority scheduling entities).

Since commit fc137c0dda ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic")
NUMA Balancing allows updating PTEs to trap NUMA hinting faults if the
task had previously accessed VMA. However unconditional scan of VMAs are
allowed during initial phase of VMA creation until process's
mm numa_scan_seq reaches 2 even though current task had not accessed VMA.
Rationale:
- Without initial scan subsequent PTE update may never happen.
- Give fair opportunity to all the VMAs to be scanned and subsequently
understand the access pattern of all the VMAs.
But it has a corner case where, if a VMA is created after some time,
process's mm numa_scan_seq could be already greater than 2.
For e.g., values of mm numa_scan_seq when VMAs are created by running
mmtest autonuma benchmark briefly looks like:
start_seq=0 : 459
start_seq=2 : 138
start_seq=3 : 144
start_seq=4 : 8
start_seq=8 : 1
start_seq=9 : 1
This results in no unconditional PTE updates for those VMAs created after
some time.
Fix:
- Note down the initial value of mm numa_scan_seq in per VMA start_seq.
- Allow unconditional scan till start_seq + 2.
Result:

This fix checks if there exists an idle CPU with busy sibling(s)
after looking for a CPU on an idle core. If some idle CPUs with busy
siblings are found, just the first one should do load-balancing.

vruntime of the (on_rq && !0-lag) entity needs to be adjusted when
it gets re-weighted, and the calculations can be simplified based
on the fact that re-weight won't change the w-average of all the
entities. Please check the proofs in comments.
But adjusting vruntime can also cause position change in RB-tree
hence require re-queue to fix up which might be costly. This might
be avoided by deferring adjustment to the time the entity actually
leaves tree (dequeue/pick), but that will negatively affect task
selection and probably not good enough either.

there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- "kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation in
arch", from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and consolidation of
the "crashkernel=" kernel parameter handling.
- After much discussion, David Laight's "minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()" is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and the
use of min_t() and max_t().
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly fix
our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
task_struct.therad_group.

Chen Yu reports a hackbench regression of cluster wakeup when
hackbench threads equal to the CPU number [1]. Analysis shows
it's because we wake up more on the target CPU even if the
prev_cpu is a good wakeup candidate and leads to the decrease
of the CPU utilization.
Generally if the task's prev_cpu is idle we'll wake up the task
on it without scanning. On cluster machines we'll try to wake up
the task in the same cluster of the target for better cache
affinity, so if the prev_cpu is idle but not sharing the same
cluster with the target we'll still try to find an idle CPU within
the cluster. This will improve the performance at low loads on
cluster machines. But in the issue above, if the prev_cpu is idle
but not in the cluster with the target CPU, we'll try to scan an
idle one in the cluster. But since the system is busy, we're
likely to fail the scanning and use target instead, even if
the prev_cpu is idle. Then leads to the regression.
This patch solves this in 2 steps:
o record the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu if they're good wakeup
candidates but not sharing the cluster with the target.
o on scanning failure use the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu if
they're recorded as idle

For platforms having clusters like Kunpeng920, CPUs within the same cluster
have lower latency when synchronizing and accessing shared resources like
cache. Thus, this patch tries to find an idle cpu within the cluster of the
target CPU before scanning the whole LLC to gain lower latency. This
will be implemented in 2 steps in select_idle_sibling():
1. When the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu are good wakeup candidates, use them
if they're sharing cluster with the target CPU. Otherwise trying to
scan for an idle CPU in the target's cluster.
2. Scanning the cluster prior to the LLC of the target CPU for an
idle CPU to wakeup.
Testing has been done on Kunpeng920 by pinning tasks to one numa and two
numa. On Kunpeng920, Each numa has 8 clusters and each cluster has 4 CPUs.
With this patch, We noticed enhancement on tbench and netperf within one
numa or cross two numa on top of tip-sched-core commit

Igor Raits and Bagas Sanjaya report a RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.
This warning may be triggered in the following situations:
CPU0 CPU1
__schedule()
*rq->clock_update_flags <<= 1;* unregister_fair_sched_group()
pick_next_task_fair+0x4a/0x410 destroy_cfs_bandwidth()

rq->clock_update_flags & RQCF_ACT_SKIP <--
raw_spin_rq_lock(this_rq)
The purpose of RQCF_ACT_SKIP is to skip the update rq clock,
but the update is very early in __schedule(), but we clear
RQCF_*_SKIP very late, causing it to span that gap above
and triggering this warning.
In __schedule() we can clear the RQCF_*_SKIP flag immediately
after update_rq_clock() to avoid this RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.
And set rq->clock_update_flags to RQCF_UPDATED to avoid
rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning that may be triggered later.

Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.
Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().
The race scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1
// doing _cpu_down()
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
task_rq_lock();
takedown_cpu()
stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)
<PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE
...
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
affine_move_task()
task_rq_unlock();
<PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\>
ack_state()
MULTI_STOP_RUN
take_cpu_down()
__cpu_disable();
stop_machine_park();
stopper->enabled = false;
/>
/>
stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
if (stopper->enabled) // false!!!
That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.
OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.
Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:
preempt_disable();
task_rq_unlock(...);
if (!stop_pending)
stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
preempt_enable();
This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.
Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

The 'update_total' parameter of update_triggers() is always true after the
previous commit:
80cc1d1d5e ("sched/psi: Avoid updating PSI triggers and ->rtpoll_total when there are no state changes")
If the 'changed_states & group->rtpoll_states' condition is true,
'new_stall' in update_triggers() will be true, and then 'update_total'
should also be true.

VMAs are skipped if there is no recent fault activity but this represents
a chicken-and-egg problem as there may be no fault activity if the PTEs
are never updated to trap NUMA hints. There is an indirect reliance on
scanning to be forced early in the lifetime of a task but this may fail
to detect changes in phase behaviour. Force inactive VMAs to be scanned
when all other eligible VMAs have been updated within the same scan
sequence.
Test results in general look good with some changes in performance, both
negative and positive, depending on whether the additional scanning and
faulting was beneficial or not to the workload. The autonuma benchmark
workload NUMA01_THREADLOCAL was picked for closer examination. The workload
creates two processes with numerous threads and thread-local storage that
is zero-filled in a loop. It exercises the corner case where unrelated
threads may skip VMAs that are thread-local to another thread and still
has some VMAs that inactive while the workload executes.
The VMA skipping activity frequency with and without the patch:
6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabtrace-v1
=============================
649 reason=scan_delay
9,094 reason=unsuitable
48,915 reason=shared_ro
143,919 reason=inaccessible
193,050 reason=pid_inactive
6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabselective-v1
=============================
146 reason=seq_completed
622 reason=ignore_pid_inactive
624 reason=scan_delay
6,570 reason=unsuitable
16,101 reason=shared_ro
27,608 reason=inaccessible
41,939 reason=pid_inactive
Note that with the patch applied, the PID activity is ignored
(ignore_pid_inactive) to ensure a VMA with some activity is completely
scanned. In addition, a small number of VMAs are scanned when no other
eligible VMA is available during a single scan window (seq_completed).
The number of times a VMA is skipped due to no PID activity from the
scanning task (pid_inactive) drops dramatically. It is expected that
this will increase the number of PTEs updated for NUMA hinting faults
as well as hinting faults but these represent PTEs that would otherwise
have been missed. The tradeoff is scan+fault overhead versus improving
locality due to migration.
On a 2-socket Cascade Lake test machine, the time to complete the
workload is as follows;
6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
Min elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 174.22 ( 0.00%) 117.64 ( 32.48%)
Amean elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 175.68 ( 0.00%) 123.34 * 29.79%*
Stddev elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 1.20 ( 0.00%) 4.06 (-238.20%)
CoeffVar elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 0.68 ( 0.00%) 3.29 (-381.70%)
Max elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 177.18 ( 0.00%) 128.03 ( 27.74%)
The time to complete the workload is reduced by almost 30%:
6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1 /
Duration User 91201.80 63506.64
Duration System 2015.53 1819.78
Duration Elapsed 1234.77 868.37
In this specific case, system CPU time was not increased but it's not
universally true.
From vmstat, the NUMA scanning and fault activity is as follows;
6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
Ops NUMA base-page range updates 64272.00 26374386.00
Ops NUMA PTE updates 36624.00 55538.00
Ops NUMA PMD updates 54.00 51404.00
Ops NUMA hint faults 15504.00 75786.00
Ops NUMA hint local faults % 14860.00 56763.00
Ops NUMA hint local percent 95.85 74.90
Ops NUMA pages migrated 1629.00 6469222.00
Both the number of PTE updates and hint faults is dramatically
increased. While this is superficially unfortunate, it represents
ranges that were simply skipped without the patch. As a result
of the scanning and hinting faults, many more pages were also
migrated but as the time to completion is reduced, the overhead
is offset by the gain.

NUMA Balancing skips VMAs when the current task has not trapped a NUMA
fault within the VMA. If the VMA is skipped then mm->numa_scan_offset
advances and a task that is trapping faults within the VMA may never
fully update PTEs within the VMA.
Force tasks to update PTEs for partially scanned PTEs. The VMA will
be tagged for NUMA hints by some task but this removes some of the
benefit of tracking PID activity within a VMA. A follow-on patch
will mitigate this problem.
The test cases and machines evaluated did not trigger the corner case so
the performance results are neutral with only small changes within the
noise from normal test-to-test variance. However, the next patch makes
the corner case easier to trigger.

Recent NUMA hinting faulting activity is reset approximately every
VMA_PID_RESET_PERIOD milliseconds. However, if the current task has not
accessed a VMA then the reset check is missed and the reset is potentially
deferred forever. Check if the PID activity information should be reset
before checking if the current task recently trapped a NUMA hinting fault.

and it ends up calling build_perf_domains on write to 1 and
NOP when writing to 0. That is confusing and un-necessary.
Desired behavior would be to have this sysctl to enable/disable the EAS
on supported platform. On non-supported platform write to the sysctl
would return not supported error and read of the sysctl would return
empty. So sched_energy_aware returns empty - EAS is not possible at this moment
This will include EAS capable platforms which have at least one EAS
condition false during startup, e.g. not using the schedutil cpufreq governor
sched_energy_aware returns 0 - EAS is supported but disabled by admin.
sched_energy_aware returns 1 - EAS is supported and enabled.
User can find out the reason why EAS is not possible by checking
info messages. sched_is_eas_possible returns true if the platform
can do EAS at this moment.

Update_triggers() always returns now + group->rtpoll_min_period, and the
return value is only used by psi_rtpoll_work(), so change update_triggers()
to a void function, let group->rtpoll_next_update = now +
group->rtpoll_min_period directly.

The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy consumption
of placing a task on different CPUs. The goal is to minimize this
energy consumption. Estimating the energy of different task placements
is increasingly complex with the size of the platform.
To avoid having a slow wake-up path, EAS is only enabled if this
complexity is low enough.
The current complexity limit was set in:
b68a4c0dba ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")
... based on the first implementation of EAS, which was re-computing
the power of the whole platform for each task placement scenario, see:
390031e4c3 ("sched/fair: Introduce an energy estimation helper function")
... but the complexity of EAS was reduced in:
eb92692b25 ("sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups")
... and find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) algorithm was updated in:
3e8c6c9aac ("sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec()")
find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) is now doing:
feec()
\_ for_each_pd(pd) [0]
// get max_spare_cap_cpu and compute_prev_delta
\_ for_each_cpu(pd) [1]
\_ eenv_pd_busy_time(pd) [2]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) without the task
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, -1) [3.0]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, -1)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) with the task on prev_cpu
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, prev_cpu) [3.1]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, prev_cpu)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) with the task on max_spare_cap_cpu
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu) [3.2]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
[3.1] happens only once since prev_cpu is unique. With the same
definitions for nr_pd, nr_cpus and nr_ps, the complexity is of:
nr_pd * (2 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd]))
+ ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd])
[0] * ( [1] + [2] + [3.0] + [3.2] )
+ [3.1]
= nr_pd * (4 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * [nr_ps in pd])
+ [nr_cpus in prev pd] + nr_ps
The complexity limit was set to 2048 in:
b68a4c0dba ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")
... to make "EAS usable up to 16 CPUs with per-CPU DVFS and less than 8
performance states each". For the same platform, the complexity would
actually be of:
16 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 296
Since the EAS complexity was greatly reduced since the limit was
introduced, bigger platforms can handle EAS.
For instance, a platform with 112 CPUs with 7 performance states
each would not reach it:
112 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 2024
To reflect this improvement in the underlying EAS code, remove
the EAS complexity check.
Note that a limit on the number of CPUs still holds against
EM_MAX_NUM_CPUS to avoid overflows during the energy estimation.

Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.
The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.
There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.
Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.
No functional changes.

find_new_ilb() returns nr_cpu_ids on failure - which is the usual
cpumask bitops return pattern, but is weird & unnecessary in this
context: not only is it a global variable, it it is a +1 out of
bounds CPU index and also has different signedness ...
Its only user, kick_ilb(), then checks the return against nr_cpu_ids
to decide to return. There's no other use.
So instead of this, use a standard -1 return on failure to find an
idle CPU, as the argument is signed already.

The old pick_eevdf() could fail to find the actual earliest eligible
deadline when it descended to the right looking for min_deadline, but
it turned out that that min_deadline wasn't actually eligible. In that
case we need to go back and search through any left branches we
skipped looking for the actual best _eligible_ min_deadline.
This is more expensive, but still O(log n), and at worst should only
involve descending two branches of the rbtree.
I've run this through a userspace stress test (thank you
tools/lib/rbtree.c), so hopefully this implementation doesn't miss any
corner cases.

The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) relies on the schedutil governor.
When moving to/from the schedutil governor, sched domains must be
rebuilt to allow re-evaluating the enablement conditions of EAS.
This is done through sched_cpufreq_governor_change().
Having a cpufreq governor assumes a cpufreq driver is running.
Inserting/removing a cpufreq driver should trigger a re-evaluation
of EAS enablement conditions, avoiding to see EAS enabled when
removing a running cpufreq driver.
Rebuild the sched domains in schedutil's sugov_init()/sugov_exit(),
allowing to check EAS's enablement condition whenever schedutil
governor is initialized/exited from.
Move relevant code up in schedutil.c to avoid a split and conditional
function declaration.
Rename sched_cpufreq_governor_change() to sugov_eas_rebuild_sd().

When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.
When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.
For example:
The cpu7 is a single CPU:
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done& [1] 4737
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 > scaling_max_freq
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2171000
At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.
To fix this, add a check for the ->need_freq_update flag.

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it
eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case.
Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division
is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this
property the value returned is slightly left of the true average.
However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the
effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the
returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken
because:
- the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int
- parsed by proc_do_intvec()
- the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec()
Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a
unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive
integers which did passed the check:
if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0)
return EINVAL;
This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both
perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes
the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead.
Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the
period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use
proc_douintvec() for it however even the
Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to
INT_MAX.
As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl
file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse
userspace.
There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at:

When uclamp_max is being used, the util of the task could be higher than
the spare capacity of the CPU, but due to uclamp_max value we force-fit
it there.
The way the condition for checking for max_spare_cap in
find_energy_efficient_cpu() was constructed; it ignored any CPU that has
its spare_cap less than or _equal_ to max_spare_cap. Since we initialize
max_spare_cap to 0; this lead to never setting max_spare_cap_cpu and
hence ending up never performing compute_energy() for this cluster and
missing an opportunity for a better energy efficient placement to honour
uclamp_max setting.
max_spare_cap = 0;
cpu_cap = capacity_of(cpu) - cpu_util(p); // 0 if cpu_util(p) is high
...
util_fits_cpu(...); // will return true if uclamp_max forces it to fit
...
// this logic will fail to update max_spare_cap_cpu if cpu_cap is 0
if (cpu_cap > max_spare_cap) {
max_spare_cap = cpu_cap;
max_spare_cap_cpu = cpu;
}
prev_spare_cap suffers from a similar problem.
Fix the logic by converting the variables into long and treating -1
value as 'not populated' instead of 0 which is a viable and correct
spare capacity value. We need to be careful signed comparison is used
when comparing with cpu_cap in one of the conditions.

During RCU-boost testing with the TREE03 rcutorture config, I found that
after a few hours, the machine locks up.
On tracing, I found that there is a live lock happening between 2 CPUs.
One CPU has an RT task running, while another CPU is being offlined
which also has an RT task running. During this offlining, all threads
are migrated. The migration thread is repeatedly scheduled to migrate
actively running tasks on the CPU being offlined. This results in a live
lock because select_fallback_rq() keeps picking the CPU that an RT task
is already running on only to get pushed back to the CPU being offlined.
It is anyway pointless to pick CPUs for pushing tasks to if they are
being offlined only to get migrated away to somewhere else. This could
also add unwanted latency to this task.
Fix these issues by not selecting CPUs in RT if they are not 'active'
for scheduling, using the cpu_active_mask. Other parts in core.c already
use cpu_active_mask to prevent tasks from being put on CPUs going
offline.
With this fix I ran the tests for days and could not reproduce the
hang. Without the patch, I hit it in a few hours.

Note that the case where the current task is pushed away to make way for a
migration-disabled task remains unchanged: the migration-disabled task has

considering all remote cfs_rq's.
- CPU 1: starts running bandwidth distribution from the slack timer. When
it finds the cfs_rq for CPU 0 on the throttled list, it observers the
that the cfs_rq is throttled, yet is not on the CSD list, and has a
positive runtime_remaining, thus triggering the warning in
distribute_cfs_runtime.
To fix this, we can rework the local unthrottling logic to put the local
cfs_rq on a local list, so that any future bandwidth distributions will
realize that the cfs_rq is about to be unthrottled.

With PREEMPT_RT there is a rt_mutex recursion problem where
sched_submit_work() can use an rtlock (aka spinlock_t). More
specifically what happens is:
mutex_lock() /* really rt_mutex */
...
__rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
// enqueue current task as waiter
// do PI chain walk
rt_mutex_slowlock_block()
schedule()
sched_submit_work()
...
spin_lock() /* really rtlock */
...
__rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
// enqueue current task as waiter *AGAIN*
// *CONFUSION*
Fix this by making rt_mutex do the sched_submit_work() early, before
it enqueues itself as a waiter -- before it even knows *if* it will
wait.

added ]]

Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call
path sched_init() -> init_idle(). Having the task idle and calling
call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be
set. Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs,
potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed. Recent changes
have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early.
This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled
before they are fully set up.
Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence.
Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d,
I am not sure that it is wrong to do so. The forced context-switch on
idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim
this fixes 5f6130fa52.

When using sysbench to benchmark Postgres in a single docker instance
with sysbench's nr_threads set to nr_cpu, it is observed there are times
update_cfs_group() and update_load_avg() shows noticeable overhead on
a 2sockets/112core/224cpu Intel Sapphire Rapids(SPR):
13.75% 13.74% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_group
10.63% 10.04% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_load_avg
Annotate shows the cycles are mostly spent on accessing tg->load_avg
with update_load_avg() being the write side and update_cfs_group() being
the read side. tg->load_avg is per task group and when different tasks
of the same taskgroup running on different CPUs frequently access
tg->load_avg, it can be heavily contended.
E.g. when running postgres_sysbench on a 2sockets/112cores/224cpus Intel
Sappire Rapids, during a 5s window, the wakeup number is 14millions and
migration number is 11millions and with each migration, the task's load
will transfer from src cfs_rq to target cfs_rq and each change involves
an update to tg->load_avg. Since the workload can trigger as many wakeups
and migrations, the access(both read and write) to tg->load_avg can be
unbound. As a result, the two mentioned functions showed noticeable
overhead. With netperf/nr_client=nr_cpu/UDP_RR, the problem is worse:
during a 5s window, wakeup number is 21millions and migration number is
14millions; update_cfs_group() costs ~25% and update_load_avg() costs ~16%.
Reduce the overhead by limiting updates to tg->load_avg to at most once
per ms. The update frequency is a tradeoff between tracking accuracy and
overhead. 1ms is chosen because PELT window is roughly 1ms and it
delivered good results for the tests that I've done. After this change,
the cost of accessing tg->load_avg is greatly reduced and performance
improved. Detailed test results below.

After commit f5d39b0208 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic"),
tasks that transition directly from TASK_FREEZABLE to TASK_FROZEN are
always woken up on the thaw path. Prior to that commit, tasks could ask
freezer to consider them "frozen enough" via freezer_do_not_count(). The
commit replaced freezer_do_not_count() with a TASK_FREEZABLE state which
allows freezer to immediately mark the task as TASK_FROZEN without
waking up the task. This is efficient for the suspend path, but on the
thaw path, the task is always woken up even if the task didn't need to
wake up and goes back to its TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE state. Although
these tasks are capable of handling of the wakeup, we can observe a
power/perf impact from the extra wakeup.
We observed on Android many tasks wait in the TASK_FREEZABLE state
(particularly due to many of them being binder clients). We observed
nearly 4x the number of tasks and a corresponding linear increase in
latency and power consumption when thawing the system. The latency
increased from ~15ms to ~50ms.
Avoid the spurious wakeups by saving the state of TASK_FREEZABLE tasks.
If the task was running before entering TASK_FROZEN state
(__refrigerator()) or if the task received a wake up for the saved
state, then the task is woken on thaw. saved_state from PREEMPT_RT locks
can be re-used because freezer would not stomp on the rtlock wait flow:
TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT isn't considered freezable.

Also, handle rounding effect of adding (ncores_local + ncores_busy) when

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

should_we_balance() is called in load_balance() to find out if the CPU that
is trying to do the load balance is the right one or not.
With commit:
b1bfeab9b002("sched/fair: Consider the idle state of the whole core for load balance")
the code tries to find an idle core to do the load balancing
and falls back on an idle sibling CPU if there is no idle core.
However, on larger SMT systems, it could be needlessly iterating to find a
idle by scanning all the CPUs in an non-idle core. If the core is not idle,
and first SMT sibling which is idle has been found, then its not needed to
check other SMT siblings for idleness
Lets say in SMT4, Core0 has 0,2,4,6 and CPU0 is BUSY and rest are IDLE.
balancing domain is MC/DIE. CPU2 will be set as the first idle_smt and
same process would be repeated for CPU4 and CPU6 but this is unnecessary.
Since calling is_core_idle loops through all CPU's in the SMT mask, effect
is multiplied by weight of smt_mask. For example,when say 1 CPU is busy,
we would skip loop for 2 CPU's and skip iterating over 8CPU's. That
effect would be more in DIE/NUMA domain where there are more cores.
Testing and performance evaluation
==================================
The test has been done on this system which has 12 cores, i.e 24 small
cores with SMT=4:
lscpu
Architecture: ppc64le
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 96
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-95
Model name: POWER10 (architected), altivec supported
Thread(s) per core: 8
Used funclatency bcc tool to evaluate the time taken by should_we_balance(). For
base tip/sched/core the time taken is collected by making the
should_we_balance() noinline. time is in nanoseconds. The values are
collected by running the funclatency tracer for 60 seconds. values are
average of 3 such runs. This represents the expected reduced time with
patch.

Good improvement seen with 24 CPUs. In this case only one CPU is busy,
and no core is idle. Decent improvement with 100% utilization case. no
difference in other utilization.

- The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
Deadline First") scheduler.
EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only.
It completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption,
picking -- everything.
LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:
https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against
a fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval
tree, and the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task,
over-scheduling is less of a problem. A lot of the CFS
heuristics are removed or replaced by more natural latency-space
parameters & constructs.
In terms of expected performance regressions: we'll and can fix
everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases,
but in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that
got lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench.
We are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations
of that process.
- Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
scheduling (again).
- Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems.
- Improve bandwidth-throttling.
- Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow.

Mike and others noticed that EEVDF does like to over-schedule quite a
bit -- which does hurt performance of a number of benchmarks /
workloads.
In particular, what seems to cause over-scheduling is that when lag is
of the same order (or larger) than the request / slice then placement
will not only cause the task to be placed left of current, but also
with a smaller deadline than current, which causes immediate
preemption.
[ notably, lag bounds are relative to HZ ]
Mike suggested we stick to picking 'current' for as long as it's
eligible to run, giving it uninterrupted runtime until it reaches
parity with the pack.
Augment Mike's suggestion by only allowing it to exhaust it's initial
request.
