scx_qmap: Implement highpri boosting
Implement a silly boosting mechanism for nice -20 tasks. The only purpose is
demonstrating and testing scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq(). The boosting only
works within SHARED_DSQ and makes only minor differences with increased
dispatch batch (-b).
This exercises moving tasks to a user DSQ and all local DSQs from
ops.dispatch() and BPF timerfn.
v2: - Updated to use scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_set_{slice|vtime}().
- Drop the workaround for the iterated tasks not being trusted by the
verifier. The issue is fixed from BPF side.

sched_ext/scx_qmap: Pick idle CPU for direct dispatch on !wakeup enqueues
Because there was no way to directly dispatch to the local DSQ of a remote CPU from ops.enqueue(), scx_qmap skipped looking for an idle CPU on !wakeup enqueues. This restriction was removed and sched_ext now allows SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON verdicts for direct dispatches. Factor out pick_direct_dispatch_cpu() from ops.select_cpu() and use it to direct dispatch from ops.enqueue() on !wakeup enqueues.

sched_ext: Add cpuperf support
sched_ext currently does not integrate with schedutil. When schedutil is the
governor, frequencies are left unregulated and usually get stuck close to
the highest performance level from running RT tasks.
Add CPU performance monitoring and scaling support by integrating into
schedutil. The following kfuncs are added:
- scx_bpf_cpuperf_cap(): Query the relative performance capacity of
different CPUs in the system.
- scx_bpf_cpuperf_cur(): Query the current performance level of a CPU
relative to its max performance.
- scx_bpf_cpuperf_set(): Set the current target performance level of a CPU.
This gives direct control over CPU performance setting to the BPF scheduler.
The only changes on the schedutil side are accounting for the utilization
factor from sched_ext and disabling frequency holding heuristics as it may
not apply well to sched_ext schedulers which may have a lot weaker
connection between tasks and their current / last CPU.
With cpuperf support added, there is no reason to block uclamp. Enable while
at it.
A toy implementation of cpuperf is added to scx_qmap as a demonstration of
the feature.
v2: Ignore cpu_util_cfs_boost() when scx_switched_all() in sugov_get_util()
to avoid factoring in stale util metric. (Christian)

sched_ext: Implement core-sched support
The core-sched support is composed of the following parts:
- task_struct->scx.core_sched_at is added. This is a timestamp which can be
used to order tasks. Depending on whether the BPF scheduler implements
custom ordering, it tracks either global FIFO ordering of all tasks or
local-DSQ ordering within the dispatched tasks on a CPU.
- prio_less() is updated to call scx_prio_less() when comparing SCX tasks.
scx_prio_less() calls ops.core_sched_before() if available or uses the
core_sched_at timestamp. For global FIFO ordering, the BPF scheduler
doesn't need to do anything. Otherwise, it should implement
ops.core_sched_before() which reflects the ordering.
- When core-sched is enabled, balance_scx() balances all SMT siblings so
that they all have tasks dispatched if necessary before pick_task_scx() is
called. pick_task_scx() picks between the current task and the first
dispatched task on the local DSQ based on availability and the
core_sched_at timestamps. Note that FIFO ordering is expected among the
already dispatched tasks whether running or on the local DSQ, so this path
always compares core_sched_at instead of calling into
ops.core_sched_before().
qmap_core_sched_before() is added to scx_qmap. It scales the
distances from the heads of the queues to compare the tasks across different
priority queues and seems to behave as expected.
v3: Fixed build error when !CONFIG_SCHED_SMT reported by Andrea Righi.
v2: Sched core added the const qualifiers to prio_less task arguments.
Explicitly drop them for ops.core_sched_before() task arguments. BPF
enforces access control through the verifier, so the qualifier isn't
actually operative and only gets in the way when interacting with
various helpers.

sched_ext: Implement sched_ext_ops.cpu_online/offline()
Add ops.cpu_online/offline() which are invoked when CPUs come online and
offline respectively. As the enqueue path already automatically bypasses
tasks to the local dsq on a deactivated CPU, BPF schedulers are guaranteed
to see tasks only on CPUs which are between online() and offline().
If the BPF scheduler doesn't implement ops.cpu_online/offline(), the
scheduler is automatically exited with SCX_ECODE_RESTART |
SCX_ECODE_RSN_HOTPLUG. Userspace can implement CPU hotpplug support
trivially by simply reinitializing and reloading the scheduler.
scx_qmap is updated to print out online CPUs on hotplug events. Other
schedulers are updated to restart based on ecode.
v3: - The previous implementation added @reason to
sched_class.rq_on/offline() to distinguish between CPU hotplug events
and topology updates. This was buggy and fragile as the methods are
skipped if the current state equals the target state. Instead, add
scx_rq_[de]activate() which are directly called from
sched_cpu_de/activate(). This also allows ops.cpu_on/offline() to
sleep which can be useful.
- ops.dispatch() could be called on a CPU that the BPF scheduler was
told to be offline. The dispatch patch is updated to bypass in such
cases.
v2: - To accommodate lock ordering change between scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock(), CPU hotplug operations are put into its own SCX_OPI
block and enabled eariler during scx_ope_enable() so that
cpus_read_lock() can be dropped before acquiring scx_cgroup_rwsem.
- Auto exit with ECODE added.

sched_ext: Implement sched_ext_ops.cpu_acquire/release()
Scheduler classes are strictly ordered and when a higher priority class has
tasks to run, the lower priority ones lose access to the CPU. Being able to
monitor and act on these events are necessary for use cases includling
strict core-scheduling and latency management.
This patch adds two operations ops.cpu_acquire() and .cpu_release(). The
former is invoked when a CPU becomes available to the BPF scheduler and the
opposite for the latter. This patch also implements
scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() which can be called from .cpu_release() to trigger
requeueing of all tasks in the local dsq of the CPU so that the tasks can be
reassigned to other available CPUs.
scx_pair is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() along with
%SCX_KICK_WAIT to make the pair scheduling guarantee strict even when a CPU
is preempted by a higher priority scheduler class.
scx_qmap is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() to empty the local
dsq of a preempted CPU. A similar approach can be adopted by BPF schedulers
that want to have a tight control over latency.
v4: Use the new SCX_KICK_IDLE to wake up a CPU after re-enqueueing.
v3: Drop the const qualifier from scx_cpu_release_args.task. BPF enforces
access control through the verifier, so the qualifier isn't actually
operative and only gets in the way when interacting with various
helpers.
v2: Add p->scx.kf_mask annotation to allow calling scx_bpf_reenqueue_local()
from ops.cpu_release() nested inside ops.init() and other sleepable
operations.

sched_ext: Make watchdog handle ops.dispatch() looping stall
The dispatch path retries if the local DSQ is still empty after ops.dispatch() either dispatched or consumed a task. This is both out of necessity and for convenience. It has to retry because the dispatch path might lose the tasks to dequeue while the rq lock is released while trying to migrate tasks across CPUs, and the retry mechanism makes ops.dispatch() implementation easier as it only needs to make some forward progress each iteration. However, this makes it possible for ops.dispatch() to stall CPUs by repeatedly dispatching ineligible tasks. If all CPUs are stalled that way, the watchdog or sysrq handler can't run and the system can't be saved. Let's address the issue by breaking out of the dispatch loop after 32 iterations. It is unlikely but not impossible for ops.dispatch() to legitimately go over the iteration limit. We want to come back to the dispatch path in such cases as not doing so risks stalling the CPU by idling with runnable tasks pending. As the previous task is still current in balance_scx(), resched_curr() doesn't do anything - it will just get cleared. Let's instead use scx_kick_bpf() which will trigger reschedule after switching to the next task which will likely be the idle task.

sched_ext: Print debug dump after an error exit
If a BPF scheduler triggers an error, the scheduler is aborted and the
system is reverted to the built-in scheduler. In the process, a lot of
information which may be useful for figuring out what happened can be lost.
This patch adds debug dump which captures information which may be useful
for debugging including runqueue and runnable thread states at the time of
failure. The following shows a debug dump after triggering the watchdog:

EXIT: runnable task stall (stress[1530] failed to run for 6.841s)
It shows that CPU 3 was running the watchdog when it triggered the error
condition and the scx_qmap thread has been queued on CPU 0 for over 5
seconds but failed to run. It also prints out scx_qmap specific information
- e.g. which tasks are queued on each FIFO and so on using the dump_*() ops.
This dump has proved pretty useful for developing and debugging BPF
schedulers.
Debug dump is generated automatically when the BPF scheduler exits due to an
error. The debug buffer used in such cases is determined by
sched_ext_ops.exit_dump_len and defaults to 32k. If the debug dump overruns
the available buffer, the output is truncated and marked accordingly.
Debug dump output can also be read through the sched_ext_dump tracepoint.
When read through the tracepoint, there is no length limit.
SysRq-D can be used to trigger debug dump at any time while a BPF scheduler
is loaded. This is non-destructive - the scheduler keeps running afterwards.
The output can be read through the sched_ext_dump tracepoint.
v2: - The size of exit debug dump buffer can now be customized using
sched_ext_ops.exit_dump_len.
- sched_ext_ops.dump*() added to enable dumping of BPF scheduler
specific information.
- Tracpoint output and SysRq-D triggering added.

sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to disallow specific tasks from joining SCHED_EXT

threads. This patch adds p->scx.disallow which can be set by BPF schedulers
in such cases. The field can be changed anytime and setting it in

# echo $$
1092
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 0
ext.enabled : 0
# ./set-scx 1092
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 7
ext.enabled : 0
Run "scx_qmap -p -d 1092" in another terminal.
# cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/nr_rejected

# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 0
ext.enabled : 0
# ./set-scx 1092
setparam failed for 1092 (Permission denied)
- v4: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core.
- v3: Update description to reflect /sys/kernel/sched_ext interface change.
- v2: Use atomic_long_t instead of atomic64_t for scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs to

sched_ext: Implement runnable task stall watchdog
The most common and critical way that a BPF scheduler can misbehave is by
failing to run runnable tasks for too long. This patch implements a
watchdog.
* All tasks record when they become runnable.
* A watchdog work periodically scans all runnable tasks. If any task has
stayed runnable for too long, the BPF scheduler is aborted.
* scheduler_tick() monitors whether the watchdog itself is stuck. If so, the
BPF scheduler is aborted.
Because the watchdog only scans the tasks which are currently runnable and
usually very infrequently, the overhead should be negligible.
scx_qmap is updated so that it can be told to stall user and/or
kernel tasks.
A detected task stall looks like the following:
sched_ext: BPF scheduler "qmap" errored, disabling
sched_ext: runnable task stall (dbus-daemon[953] failed to run for 6.478s)

Note that this patch exposes scx_ops_error[_type]() in kernel/sched/ext.h to
inline scx_notify_sched_tick().
v4: - While disabling, cancel_delayed_work_sync(&scx_watchdog_work) was
being called before forward progress was guaranteed and thus could
lead to system lockup. Relocated.
- While enabling, it was comparing msecs against jiffies without
conversion leading to spurious load failures on lower HZ kernels.
Fixed.
- runnable list management is now used by core bypass logic and moved to
the patch implementing sched_ext core.
v3: - bpf_scx_init_member() was incorrectly comparing ops->timeout_ms
against SCX_WATCHDOG_MAX_TIMEOUT which is in jiffies without
conversion leading to spurious load failures in lower HZ kernels.
Fixed.
v2: - Julia Lawall noticed that the watchdog code was mixing msecs and
jiffies. Fix by using jiffies for everything.

sched_ext: Add scx_simple and scx_example_qmap example schedulers
Add two simple example BPF schedulers - simple and qmap.
* simple: In terms of scheduling, it behaves identical to not having any
operation implemented at all. The two operations it implements are only to
improve visibility and exit handling. On certain homogeneous
configurations, this actually can perform pretty well.
* qmap: A fixed five level priority scheduler to demonstrate queueing PIDs
on BPF maps for scheduling. While not very practical, this is useful as a
simple example and will be used to demonstrate different features.
v7: - Compat helpers stripped out in prepartion of upstreaming as the
upstreamed patchset will be the baselinfe. Utility macros that can be
used to implement compat features are kept.
- Explicitly disable map autoattach on struct_ops to avoid trying to
attach twice while maintaining compatbility with older libbpf.
v6: - Common header files reorganized and cleaned up. Compat helpers are
added to demonstrate how schedulers can maintain backward
compatibility with older kernels while making use of newly added
features.
- simple_select_cpu() added to keep track of the number of local
dispatches. This is needed because the default ops.select_cpu()
implementation is updated to dispatch directly and won't call
ops.enqueue().
- Updated to reflect the sched_ext API changes. Switching all tasks is
the default behavior now and scx_qmap supports partial switching when
`-p` is specified.
- tools/sched_ext/Kconfig dropped. This will be included in the doc
instead.
v5: - Improve Makefile. Build artifects are now collected into a separate
dir which change be changed. Install and help targets are added and
clean actually cleans everything.
- MEMBER_VPTR() improved to improve access to structs. ARRAY_ELEM_PTR()
and RESIZEABLE_ARRAY() are added to support resizable arrays in .bss.
- Add scx_common.h which provides common utilities to user code such as
SCX_BUG[_ON]() and RESIZE_ARRAY().
- Use SCX_BUG[_ON]() to simplify error handling.
v4: - Dropped _example prefix from scheduler names.
v3: - Rename scx_example_dummy to scx_example_simple and restructure a bit
to ease later additions. Comment updates.
- Added declarations for BPF inline iterators. In the future, hopefully,
these will be consolidated into a generic BPF header so that they
don't need to be replicated here.
v2: - Updated with the generic BPF cpumask helpers.
