Nathan Zimmer bbbfeac92b sched: Fix /proc/sched_debug failure on very very large systems
On systems with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/sched_debug
fails because we are trying to push all the data into a single
kmalloc buffer.

The issue is on these very large machines all the data will not
fit in 4mb.

A better solution is to not us the single_open mechanism but to
provide our own seq_operations and treat each cpu as an
individual record.

The output should be identical to the previous version.

Arnd Bergmann cff3c124a7 sched/debug: Fix format string for 32-bit platforms
The type returned from atomic64_t can be either unsigned
long or unsigned long long, depending on the architecture.
Using a cast to unsigned long long lets us use the same
format string for all architectures.

Without this patch, building with scheduler debugging
enabled results in:

  kernel/sched/debug.c: In function 'print_cfs_rq':
  kernel/sched/debug.c:225:2: warning: format '%ld' expects argument of type 'long int', but argument 4 has type 'long long int' [-Wformat]

Li Zefan 2a73991b76 sched: remove redundant NULL cgroup check in task_group_path()
A task_group won't be online (thus no one can see it) until
cpu_cgroup_css_online(), and at that time tg->css.cgroup has
been initialized, so this NULL check is redundant.

Paul Turner bb17f65571 sched: Normalize tg load contributions against runnable time
Entities of equal weight should receive equitable distribution of cpu time.
This is challenging in the case of a task_group's shares as execution may be
occurring on multiple cpus simultaneously.

To handle this we divide up the shares into weights proportionate with the load
on each cfs_rq.  This does not however, account for the fact that the sum of
the parts may be less than one cpu and so we need to normalize:
  load(tg) = min(runnable_avg(tg), 1) * tg->shares
Where runnable_avg is the aggregate time in which the task_group had runnable
children.

Paul Turner 9ee474f556 sched: Maintain the load contribution of blocked entities
We are currently maintaining:

  runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t)

For all running children t of cfs_rq.  While this can be naturally updated for
tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for
the load contributed by blocked task entities.

This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load:

  blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b)

Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for
their decay, we instead observe that:

  runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i

and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute:

  y*runnable_load(t).

This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating:

  blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq)

Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens
we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.

Paul Turner 2dac754e10 sched: Aggregate load contributed by task entities on parenting cfs_rq
For a given task t, we can compute its contribution to load as:

  task_load(t) = runnable_avg(t) * weight(t)

On a parenting cfs_rq we can then aggregate:

  runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t), for all runnable children t

Maintain this bottom up, with task entities adding their contributed load to
the parenting cfs_rq sum.  When a task entity's load changes we add the same
delta to the maintained sum.

Paul Turner 9d85f21c94 sched: Track the runnable average on a per-task entity basis
Instead of tracking averaging the load parented by a cfs_rq, we can track
entity load directly. With the load for a given cfs_rq then being the sum
of its children.

To do this we represent the historical contribution to runnable average
within each trailing 1024us of execution as the coefficients of a
geometric series.

We can express this for a given task t as:

  runnable_sum(t) = \Sum u_i * y^i, runnable_avg_period(t) = \Sum 1024 * y^i
  load(t) = weight_t * runnable_sum(t) / runnable_avg_period(t)

Where: u_i is the usage in the last i`th 1024us period (approximately 1ms)
~ms and y is chosen such that y^k = 1/2.  We currently choose k to be 32 which
roughly translates to about a sched period.

Peter Zijlstra 13e099d2f7 sched/debug: Fix printing large integers on 32-bit platforms
Some numbers like nr_running and nr_uninterruptible are fundamentally
unsigned since its impossible to have a negative amount of tasks, yet
we still print them as signed to easily recognise the underflow
condition.

rq->nr_uninterruptible has 'special' accounting and can in fact very
easily become negative on a per-cpu basis.

It was noted that since the P() macro assumes things are long long and
the promotion of unsigned 'int/long' to long long on 32bit doesn't
sign extend we print silly large numbers instead of the easier to read
signed numbers.

Therefore extend the P() macro to not require the sign extention.

Peter Zijlstra c82513e513 sched: Change rq->nr_running to unsigned int
Since there's a PID space limit of 30bits (see
futex.h:FUTEX_TID_MASK) and allocating that many tasks (assuming a
lower bound of 2 pages per task) would still take 8T of memory it
seems reasonable to say that unsigned int is sufficient for
rq->nr_running.

When we do get anywhere near that amount of tasks I suspect other
things would go funny, load-balancer load computations would really
need to be hoisted to 128bit etc.

So save a few bytes and convert rq->nr_running and friends to
unsigned int.

Rakib Mullick 30fd049afc sched: Remove sched_switch
Currently we don't utilize the sched_switch field anymore.

But, simply removing sched_switch field from the middle of the
sched_stat output will break tools.

So, to stay compatible we hardcode it to zero and remove the
field from the scheduler data structures.

Update the schedstat documentation accordingly.
