Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

Since commit caeb178c60 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() ...")
sd_pick_busiest returns a group that can be neither imbalanced nor overloaded
but is only more loaded than others. This change has been introduced to ensure
a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect,
it can also generate useless active migration between groups.
Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an
idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB
is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above
nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core
will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the
task of a busy CPU.
The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system
because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as
you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores
where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu
We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not
only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU.
Before caeb178c60, the filtering of such use
case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g:
if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) &&
busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight)
This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest
group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2
groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded,
moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it.
A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following
results:
command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run
The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test.

In commit c1221321b7
sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.
Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.
So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:
wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example. Others can be added as needed.

not need to disable irqs, and they are already disabled by the caller.

The code in find_idlest_cpu() looks for the CPU with the smallest load.
However, if multiple CPUs are idle, the first idle CPU is selected
irrespective of the depth of its idle state.
Among the idle CPUs we should pick the one with with the shallowest idle
state, or the latest to have gone idle if all idle CPUs are in the same
state. The later applies even when cpuidle is configured out.
This patch doesn't cover the following issues:
- The idle exit latency of a CPU might be larger than the time needed
to migrate the waking task to an already running CPU with sufficient
capacity, and therefore performance would benefit from task packing
in such case (in most cases task packing is about power saving).
- Some idle states have a non negligible and non abortable entry latency
which needs to run to completion before the exit latency can start.
A concurrent patch series is making this info available to the cpuidle
core. Once available, the entry latency with the idle timestamp could
determine when the exit latency may be effective.
Those issues will be handled in due course. In the mean time, what
is implemented here should improve things already compared to the current
state of affairs.
Based on an initial patch from Daniel Lezcano.

When the cpu enters idle, it stores the cpuidle state pointer in its
struct rq instance which in turn could be used to make a better decision
when balancing tasks.
As soon as the cpu exits its idle state, the struct rq reference is
cleared.
There are a couple of situations where the idle state pointer could be changed
while it is being consulted:
1. For x86/acpi with dynamic c-states, when a laptop switches from battery
to AC that could result on removing the deeper idle state. The acpi driver
triggers:
'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed'
'cpuidle_pause_and_lock'
'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler'
'kick_all_cpus_sync'.
All cpus will exit their idle state and the pointed object will be set to
NULL.
2. The cpuidle driver is unloaded. Logically that could happen but not
in practice because the drivers are always compiled in and 95% of them are
not coded to unregister themselves. In any case, the unloading code must
call 'cpuidle_unregister_device', that calls 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock'
leading to 'kick_all_cpus_sync' as mentioned above.
A race can happen if we use the pointer and then one of these two scenarios
occurs at the same moment.
In order to be safe, the idle state pointer stored in the rq must be
used inside a rcu_read_lock section where we are protected with the
'rcu_barrier' in the 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' function. The
idle_get_state() and idle_put_state() accessors should be used to that
effect.

Users can perform clustered scheduling using the cpuset facility.
After an exclusive cpuset is created, task migrations happen only
between CPUs belonging to the same cpuset. Inter- cpuset migrations
can only happen when the user requires so, moving a task between
different cpusets. This behaviour is broken in SCHED_DEADLINE, as

When a task is using SCHED_DEADLINE and the user setschedules it to a
different class its sched_dl_entity static parameters are not cleaned
up. This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with
the same parameters again. The problem resides in the check we
perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow():
if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw)
return 0;
This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function
returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not
added to it). After this, admission control is broken.
This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a
task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE.

'capacity_orig' is only changed for systems with an SMT sched_domain level in order
to reflect the lower capacity of CPUs. Heterogenous systems also have to reflect an
original capacity that is different from the default value.
Create a more generic function arch_scale_cpu_capacity that can be also used by
non SMT platforms to set capacity_orig.
The __weak implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is the previous SMT variant,
in order to keep backward compatibility with the use of capacity_orig.
arch_scale_smt_capacity() and default_scale_smt_capacity() have been removed as
they were not used elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

In wake_affine() I have tried to understand the meaning of the condition:
(this_load <= load &&
this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task)
but I failed to find a use case that can take advantage of it and I haven't
found clear description in the previous commit's log.
Futhermore, the comment of the condition refers to the task_hot function that
was used before being replaced by the current condition:
/*
* This domain has SD_WAKE_AFFINE and
* p is cache cold in this domain, and
* there is no bad imbalance.
*/
If we look more deeply the below condition:
this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task
When sync is clear, we have:
tl_per_task = runnable_load_avg / nr_running
this_load = max(runnable_load_avg, cpuload[idx])
target_load = max(runnable_load_avg', cpuload'[idx])
It implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 and nr_running <= 1 in order to match the
condition. This implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 too because of the
condition: this_load <= load.
but if this _load is null, 'balanced' is already set and the test is redundant.
If sync is set, it's not as straight forward as above (especially if cgroup
are involved) but the policy should be similar as we have removed a task that's
going to sleep in order to get a more accurate load and this_load values.
The current conclusion is that these additional condition don't give any benefit
so we can remove them.

The imbalance flag can stay set whereas there is no imbalance.
Let assume that we have 3 tasks that run on a dual cores /dual cluster system.
We will have some idle load balance which are triggered during tick.
Unfortunately, the tick is also used to queue background work so we can reach
the situation where short work has been queued on a CPU which already runs a
task. The load balance will detect this imbalance (2 tasks on 1 CPU and an idle
CPU) and will try to pull the waiting task on the idle CPU. The waiting task is
a worker thread that is pinned on a CPU so an imbalance due to pinned task is
detected and the imbalance flag is set.
Then, we will not be able to clear the flag because we have at most 1 task on
each CPU but the imbalance flag will trig to useless active load balance
between the idle CPU and the busy CPU.
We need to reset of the imbalance flag as soon as we have reached a balanced
state. If all tasks are pinned, we don't consider that as a balanced state and
let the imbalance flag set.

Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule()
does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is
often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted
region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined
and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be
handled.
This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate
action since the damage is already done, there is no point
in continuing.

The sig->stats_lock nests inside the tasklist_lock and the
sighand->siglock in __exit_signal and wait_task_zombie.
However, both of those locks can be taken from irq context,
which means we need to use the interrupt safe variant of
read_seqbegin_or_lock. This blocks interrupts when the "lock"
branch is taken (seq is odd), preventing the lock inversion.
On the first (lockless) pass through the loop, irqs are not

The code in task_numa_compare() will only examine at most one idle CPU per node,
because they all have the same score. However, some idle CPUs are better
candidates than others, due to busy or idle SMT siblings, etc...
The scheduler has logic to find the best CPU within an LLC to place a
task. The NUMA code should probably use it.
This seems to reduce the standard deviation for single instance SPECjbb2005
with a low warehouse count on my 4 node test system.

When running workloads on 2+ socket systems, based on perf profiles, the
update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() function often shows up as taking up a
noticeable % of run time.
Much of the contention is in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() when we
update the tg load contribution stats. However, it turns out that in many
cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0.
This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating
tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated. This reduces the
cacheline contention that would be unnecessary.

Current code can fail to migrate a waking task (silently) when TTWU_QUEUE is
enabled.
When a task is waking, it is pending on the wake_list of the rq, but it is not
queued (task->on_rq == 0). In this case, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and
__migrate_task() will not migrate it because its invisible to them.
This behavior is incorrect, because the task has been already woken, it will be
running on the wrong CPU without correct placement until the next wake-up or
update for cpus_allowed.
To fix this problem, we need to finish the wakeup (so they appear on
the runqueue) before we migrate them.

The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs.
This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and
other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be
multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or
stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value.
Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately
overwritten with a smaller value by another thread.
Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time
progresses monotonically.

Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.
The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).
Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.
This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.
In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().
This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

Merge tag 'v3.17-rc4' into sched/core, to prevent conflicts with upcoming patches, and to refresh the tree
Linux 3.17-rc4
An overrun could happen in function start_hrtick_dl()
when a task with SCHED_DEADLINE runs in the microseconds
range.
For example, if a task with SCHED_DEADLINE has the following parameters:
Task runtime deadline period
P1 200us 500us 500us
The deadline and period from task P1 are less than 1ms.
In order to achieve microsecond precision, we need to enable HRTICK feature
by the next command:
PC#echo "HRTICK" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch &
PC#./schedtool -E -t 200000:500000:500000 -e ./test
The binary test is in an endless while(1) loop here.
Some pieces of trace.dat are as follows:
<idle>-0 157.603157: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test
test-2481 157.603203: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 0:120: swapper/2
<idle>-0 157.605657: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test
test-2481 157.608183: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 2483:120: trace-cmd
trace-cmd-2483 157.609656: sched_switch:2483:R==>2481:4294967295: test
We can get the runtime of P1 from the information above:
runtime = 157.608183 - 157.605657
runtime = 0.002526(2.526ms)
The correct runtime should be less than or equal to 200us at some point.
The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 10000"
in function start_hrtick_dl().
Because no hrtimer start up to control the rest of runtime
when the reset of runtime is less than 10us.
So the process will continue to run until tick-period is coming.
Move the code with the limit of the least time slice
from hrtick_start_fair() to hrtick_start() because the
EDF schedule class also needs this function in start_hrtick_dl().
To fix this problem, we call hrtimer_start() unconditionally in
start_hrtick_dl(), and make sure the scheduling slice won't be smaller
than 10us in hrtimer_start().

__get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of
cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable
directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask
allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu
cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into
a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a
pointer from the offset.
This patch introduces a new macro
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr()
