Thomas Gleixner d60585c576 sched/core: Correct off by one bug in load migration calculation
The move of calc_load_migrate() from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DYING did not take into
account that the function is now called from a thread running on the outgoing
CPU. As a result a cpu unplug leakes a load of 1 into the global load
accounting mechanism.

Fix it by adjusting for the currently running thread which calls
calc_load_migrate().

Peter Zijlstra 8663e24d56 sched/fair: Reorder cgroup creation code
A future patch needs rq->lock held _after_ we link the task_group into
the hierarchy. In order to avoid taking every rq->lock twice, reorder
things a little and create online_fair_sched_group() to be called
after we link the task_group.

All this code is still ran from css_alloc() so css_online() isn't in
fact used for this.

Vincent Guittot ea86cb4b76 sched/cgroup: Fix cpu_cgroup_fork() handling
A new fair task is detached and attached from/to task_group with:

  cgroup_post_fork()
    ss->fork(child) := cpu_cgroup_fork()
      sched_move_task()
        task_move_group_fair()

Which is wrong, because at this point in fork() the task isn't fully
initialized and it cannot 'move' to another group, because its not
attached to any group as yet.

In fact, cpu_cgroup_fork() needs a small part of sched_move_task() so we
can just call this small part directly instead sched_move_task(). And
the task doesn't really migrate because it is not yet attached so we
need the following sequence:

  do_fork()
    sched_fork()
      __set_task_cpu()

    cgroup_post_fork()
      set_task_rq() # set task group and runqueue

    wake_up_new_task()
      select_task_rq() can select a new cpu
      __set_task_cpu
      post_init_entity_util_avg
        attach_task_cfs_rq()
      activate_task
        enqueue_task

This patch makes that happen.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 094f469172 sched/fair: Initialize throttle_count for new task-groups lazily
Cgroup created inside throttled group must inherit current throttle_count.
Broken throttle_count allows to nominate throttled entries as a next buddy,
later this leads to null pointer dereference in pick_next_task_fair().

This patch initialize cfs_rq->throttle_count at first enqueue: laziness
allows to skip locking all rq at group creation. Lazy approach also allows
to skip full sub-tree scan at throttling hierarchy (not in this patch).

This new form allows using hardware assisted waiting.

Some hardware (ARM64 and x86) allow monitoring an address for changes,
so by providing a pointer we can use this to replace the cpu_relax()

Wanpeng Li 3d89e5478b sched/cputime: Fix prev steal time accouting during CPU hotplug
Commit:

  e9532e69b8 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug")

... set rq->prev_* to 0 after a CPU hotplug comes back, in order to
fix the case where (after CPU hotplug) steal time is smaller than
rq->prev_steal_time.

However, this should never happen. Steal time was only smaller because of the
KVM-specific bug fixed by the previous patch.  Worse, the previous patch
triggers a bug on CPU hot-unplug/plug operation: because
rq->prev_steal_time is cleared, all of the CPU's past steal time will be
accounted again on hot-plug.

Since the root cause has been fixed, we can just revert commit e9532e69b8.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.

  To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
  governor.  Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
  since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
  ones).

  There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
  First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
  making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
  Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
  performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
  executed in process context or similar.  Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
  driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
  is used on a large number of systems.

  The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
  regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
  scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
  progress on top of it already).  Nevertheless it works and the
  preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.

  There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
  platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
  driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
  device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
  code any more.  Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
  generic mechanism.

  In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
  CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
  provided via the ACPI _PPC object.

  The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
  subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
  rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.

  The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
  intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
  a number of places.

  Specifics:

   - New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
     utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
     switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
     supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
     acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing
     them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
     are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao,
     Marc Gonzalez)

Yuyang Du 172895e6b5 sched/fair: Rename SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT to NICE_0_LOAD_SHIFT and remove SCHED_LOAD_SCALE
After cleaning up the sched metrics, there are two definitions that are
ambiguous and confusing: SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT.

Resolve this:

 - Rename SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT to NICE_0_LOAD_SHIFT, which better reflects what
   it is.

 - Replace SCHED_LOAD_SCALE use with SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE and remove SCHED_LOAD_SCALE.

Yuyang Du 6ecdd74962 sched/fair: Generalize the load/util averages resolution definition
Integer metric needs fixed point arithmetic. In sched/fair, a few
metrics, e.g., weight, load, load_avg, util_avg, freq, and capacity,
may have different fixed point ranges, which makes their update and
usage error-prone.

In order to avoid the errors relating to the fixed point range, we
definie a basic fixed point range, and then formalize all metrics to
base on the basic range.

The basic range is 1024 or (1 << 10). Further, one can recursively
apply the basic range to have larger range.

Pointed out by Ben Segall, weight (visible to user, e.g., NICE-0 has
1024) and load (e.g., NICE_0_LOAD) have independent ranges, but they
must be well calibrated.

Peter Zijlstra e7904a28f5 locking/lockdep, sched/core: Implement a better lock pinning scheme
The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of
value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned,
without having any extra information.

This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and
requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the
cookie in context.

No objsize difference for !LOCKDEP kernels.

Frederic Weisbecker 9fd81dd5ce sched/fair: Optimize !CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON CPU load updates
Some code in CPU load update only concern NO_HZ configs but it is
built on all configurations. When NO_HZ isn't built, that code is harmless
but just happens to take some useless ressources in CPU and memory:

1) one useless field in struct rq
2) jiffies record on every tick that is never used (cpu_load_update_periodic)
3) decay_load_missed is called two times on every tick to eventually
   return immediately with no action taken. And that function is dead
   code.

For pure optimization purposes, lets conditionally build the NO_HZ
related code.

Frederic Weisbecker cee1afce30 sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespace
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.

Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:

	update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

Rafael J. Wysocki 9bdcb44e39 cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data
Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses
scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making
its decisions.

Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3 (cpufreq: Add
mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that
introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on
utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates.
In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on
the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS.

The new governor is relatively simple.

The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not
the utilization is frequency-invariant.  In the frequency-invariant
case the new CPU frequency is given by

	next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max

where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util().
In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in
the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU:

	next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max

The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at
(util / max) = 0.8.

All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update
handlers provided by the new governor.  One of those handlers is
used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other
one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need
to use any extra synchronization means).

The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported
by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy.
In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take
place in its utilization update handlers.  If fast switching cannot
be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the
help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target()
(under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already
computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers).

Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as
"unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed
maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes.  That
heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more
subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks.

The governor shares some tunables management code with the
"ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common
definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it
is stand-alone.

Yuyang Du 2b8c41daba sched/fair: Initiate a new task's util avg to a bounded value
A new task's util_avg is set to full utilization of a CPU (100% time
running). This accelerates a new task's utilization ramp-up, useful to
boost its execution in early time. However, it may result in
(insanely) high utilization for a transient time period when a flood
of tasks are spawned. Importantly, it violates the "fundamentally
bounded" CPU utilization, and its side effect is negative if we don't
take any measure to bound it.

This patch proposes an algorithm to address this issue. It has
two methods to approach a sensible initial util_avg:

(1) An expected (or average) util_avg based on its cfs_rq's util_avg:

  util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight

(2) A trajectory of how successive new tasks' util develops, which
gives 1/2 of the left utilization budget to a new task such that
the additional util is noticeably large (when overall util is low) or
unnoticeably small (when overall util is high enough). In the meantime,
the aggregate utilization is well bounded:

  util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n

where n denotes the nth task.

If util_avg is larger than util_avg_cap, then the effective util is
clamped to the util_avg_cap.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
  significant.

  First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
  now.  Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
  each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
  periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
  scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates).  The
  "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
  work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
  now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
  scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.

  Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
  all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
  simplified quite a bit.  On top of that, the common code and data
  structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
  cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
  quite annoying problems are addressed.  In particular, the handling of
  governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
  more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
  (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).

  In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
  allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
  cpufreq.  Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
  works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
  scheduler's utilization data.  That should allow the scheduler and
  cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.

  In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
  updated too.  Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
  cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
  Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
  other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.

  Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
  including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
  and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
  optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
  ACPI tables from initrd.

  Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
  power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
  traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
     them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
     frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
     that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
     straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
     Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh
     Kumar, Eric Biggers).

   - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a
     modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state
     selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe
     Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe
     Franciosi).

   - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its
     handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the
     cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter).

   - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and
     cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with

Rafael J. Wysocki adaf9fcd13 cpufreq: Move scheduler-related code to the sched directory
Create cpufreq.c under kernel/sched/ and move the cpufreq code
related to the scheduler to that file and to sched.h.

Redefine cpufreq_update_util() as a static inline function to avoid
function calls at its call sites in the scheduler code (as suggested
by Peter Zijlstra).

Also move the definition of struct update_util_data and declaration
of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() from include/linux/cpufreq.h to

Rafael J. Wysocki 34e2c555f3 cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks
Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem
("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be
executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the
scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes.

This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers
and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage
adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things.

The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Thomas Gleixner e9532e69b8 sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug
On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:

	 u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());

	 steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;

So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat
become stale.

Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.

None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.

Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

Frederic Weisbecker 76d92ac305 sched: Migrate sched to use new tick dependency mask model
Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
sched tick dependency, migrate sched to the new mask.

Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the
tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by
order of priority:

SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime
SCHED_FIFO    : Don't need the tick (no round-robin)
SCHED_RR      : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority
                for round robin (simplified with checking if more than
                one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority).
SCHED_NORMAL  : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin.

We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick
dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy
concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation.

Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get
rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu
timers.

Frederic Weisbecker 01d36d0ac3 sched: Account rr tasks
In order to evaluate the scheduler tick dependency without probing
context switches, we need to know how much SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO tasks
are enqueued as those policies don't have the same preemption
requirements.

To prepare for that, let's account SCHED_RR tasks, we'll be able to
deduce SCHED_FIFO tasks as well from it and the total RT tasks in the
runqueue.

So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which
would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path
we fail to do so.

So this was introduced at around v3.14, by:

  c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")

which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy.

Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it
preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling
the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list.

In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE,
introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these
cases to preserve other invariants.

Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that
things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder
FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).

The current site for doing so it unsuited because its far too late and
unordered against other cgroup removal (->css_free() will be, but we're also
in an RCU callback).

Put it in the ->css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup
destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to
userspace. The ->css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order
after the following v4.4 commit:

Mel Gorman cb2517653f sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.

This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.

The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.

These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

Some small gains and losses and while the variance data is not included,
it's close to the noise. The UMA machine did not show anything particularly

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

Waiman Long b0367629ac sched/fair: Move the cache-hot 'load_avg' variable into its own cacheline
If a system with large number of sockets was driven to full
utilization, it was found that the clock tick handling occupied a
rather significant proportion of CPU time when fair group scheduling
and autogroup were enabled.

Running a java benchmark on a 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the perf
profile looked like:

  10.52%   0.00%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
   9.66%   0.05%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] hrtimer_interrupt
   8.65%   0.03%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] tick_sched_timer
   8.56%   0.00%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] update_process_times
   8.07%   0.03%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] scheduler_tick
   6.91%   1.78%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] task_tick_fair
   5.24%   5.04%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] update_cfs_shares

In particular, the high CPU time consumed by update_cfs_shares()
was mostly due to contention on the cacheline that contained the
task_group's load_avg statistical counter. This cacheline may also
contains variables like shares, cfs_rq & se which are accessed rather
frequently during clock tick processing.

This patch moves the load_avg variable into another cacheline
separated from the other frequently accessed variables. It also
creates a cacheline aligned kmemcache for task_group to make sure
that all the allocated task_group's are cacheline aligned.

By doing so, the perf profile became:

   9.44%   0.00%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
   8.74%   0.01%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] hrtimer_interrupt
   7.83%   0.03%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] tick_sched_timer
   7.74%   0.00%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] update_process_times
   7.27%   0.03%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] scheduler_tick
   5.94%   1.74%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] task_tick_fair
   4.15%   3.92%  java   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] update_cfs_shares

The %cpu time is still pretty high, but it is better than before. The
benchmark results before and after the patch was as follows:

  Before patch - Max-jOPs: 907533    Critical-jOps: 134877
  After patch  - Max-jOPs: 916011    Critical-jOps: 142366

Andi Kleen ed82b8a1ff sched/core: Move the sched_to_prio[] arrays out of line
When building a kernel with a gcc 6 snapshot the compiler complains
about unused const static variables for prio_to_weight and prio_to_mult
for multiple scheduler files (all but core.c and autogroup.c)

The way the array is currently declared it will be duplicated in
every scheduler file that includes sched.h, which seems rather wasteful.

Move the array out of line into core.c. I also added a sched_ prefix
to avoid any potential name space collisions.

Byungchul Park ad936d8658 sched/fair: Make it possible to account fair load avg consistently
The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair
class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a
task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair
class.

This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly
read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq,
ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time.

These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from
one another, so there is a definite bound on things.

Peter Zijlstra b3e0b1b6d8 locking, sched: Introduce smp_cond_acquire() and use it
Introduce smp_cond_acquire() which combines a control dependency and a
read barrier to form acquire semantics.

This primitive has two benefits:

 - it documents control dependencies,
 - its typically cheaper than using smp_load_acquire() in a loop.

This alternative patch solves the problem by not calling
sched_info_{de,}queued() in {de,en}queue_task(). Therefore the
sched_info state is preserved and things work as expected.

By inlining the {de,en}queue_task() functions the new condition
becomes (mostly) a compile-time constant and we'll not emit any new
branch instructions.

It even shrinks the code (due to inlining {en,de}queue_task()):
