Peter Zijlstra 26ae58d23b sched/core: Add WARNING for multiple update_rq_clock() calls
Now that we have no missing calls, add a warning to find multiple
calls.

By having only a single update_rq_clock() call per rq-lock section,
the section appears 'atomic' wrt time.

Peter Zijlstra 4c77b18cf8 sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive
Kitsunyan reported desktop latency issues on his Celeron 887 because
of commit:

  1b568f0aab ("sched/core: Optimize SCHED_SMT")

... even though his CPU doesn't do SMT.

The effect of running the SMT code on a !SMT part is basically a more
aggressive select_idle_cpu(). Removing the avg condition fixed things
for him.

I also know FB likes this test gone, even though other workloads like
having it.

For now, take it out by default, until we get a better idea.

Morten Rasmussen 8cd5601c50 sched/fair: Convert arch_scale_cpu_capacity() from weak function to #define
Bring arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in line with the recent change of its
arch_scale_freq_capacity() sibling in commit dfbca41f34 ("sched:
Optimize freq invariant accounting") from weak function to #define to
allow inlining of the function.

While at it, remove the ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feature as well. With the
change to #define there isn't a straightforward way to allow runtime
switch between an arch implementation and the default implementation of
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() using sched_feature. The default was to use
the arch-specific implementation, but only the arm architecture provides
one and that is essentially equivalent to the default implementation.

Srikar Dronamraju 2a1ed24ce9 sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness
The current load balancer may not try to prevent a task from moving
out of a preferred node to a less preferred node. The reason for this
being:

 - Since sched features NUMA and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER are disabled by
   default, migrate_degrades_locality() always returns false.

 - Even if NUMA_RESIST_LOWER were to be enabled, if its cache hot,
   migrate_degrades_locality() never gets called.

The above behaviour can mean that tasks can move out of their
preferred node but they may be eventually be brought back to their
preferred node by numa balancer (due to higher numa faults).

To avoid the above, this commit merges migrate_degrades_locality() and
migrate_improves_locality(). It also replaces 3 sched features NUMA,
NUMA_FAVOUR_HIGHER and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER by a single sched feature
NUMA.

Steven Rostedt b6366f048e sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.

Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.

The test that was run was the following:

 cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100

This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.

cyclictest is maintained at:
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git

What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.

To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.

I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.

Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.

With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.

I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.

When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.

To enabled or disable this at run time:

 # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
 # echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.

The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

Nicolas Pitre 5d4dfddd4f sched: Rename capacity related flags
It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent
to "CPU power".  The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create
confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too
liberally.

Let's rename the following feature flags since they do relate to capacity:

	SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER  -> SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY
	ARCH_POWER         -> ARCH_CAPACITY
	NONTASK_POWER      -> NONTASK_CAPACITY

Mel Gorman 3a7053b322 sched/numa: Favour moving tasks towards the preferred node
This patch favours moving tasks towards NUMA node that recorded a higher
number of NUMA faults during active load balancing.  Ideally this is
self-reinforcing as the longer the task runs on that node, the more faults
it should incur causing task_numa_placement to keep the task running on that
node. In reality a big weakness is that the nodes CPUs can be overloaded
and it would be more efficient to queue tasks on an idle node and migrate
to the new node. This would require additional smarts in the balancer so
for now the balancer will simply prefer to place the task on the preferred
node for a PTE scans which is controlled by the numa_balancing_settle_count
sysctl. Once the settle_count number of scans has complete the schedule
is free to place the task on an alternative node if the load is imbalanced.

Mel Gorman b726b7dfb4 Revert "mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node"
PTE scanning and NUMA hinting fault handling is expensive so commit
5bca2303 ("mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled
on a new node") deferred the PTE scan until a task had been scheduled on
another node. The problem is that in the purely shared memory case that
this may never happen and no NUMA hinting fault information will be
captured. We are not ruling out the possibility that something better
can be done here but for now, this patch needs to be reverted and depend
entirely on the scan_delay to avoid punishing short-lived processes.

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

Mel Gorman 5bca230353 mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node
Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running
on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new
node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until
it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are
trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care
about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node.

This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow
start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This
will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings
early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load
balancing to take place.

NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven
	placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy
	to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by.

This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the
context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the
node the CPU is running on.  In itself this does nothing useful but any
placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement
from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

Peter Zijlstra eb95308ee2 sched: Fix more load-balancing fallout
Commits 367456c756 ("sched: Ditch per cgroup task lists for
load-balancing") and 5d6523ebd ("sched: Fix load-balance wreckage")
left some more wreckage.

By setting loop_max unconditionally to ->nr_running load-balancing
could take a lot of time on very long runqueues (hackbench!). So keep
the sysctl as max limit of the amount of tasks we'll iterate.

Furthermore, the min load filter for migration completely fails with
cgroups since inequality in per-cpu state can easily lead to such
small loads :/

Furthermore the change to add new tasks to the tail of the queue
instead of the head seems to have some effect.. not quite sure I
understand why.

Combined these fixes solve the huge hackbench regression reported by
Tim when hackbench is ran in a cgroup.

Peter Zijlstra f8b6d1cc7d sched: Use jump_labels for sched_feat
Now that we initialize jump_labels before sched_init() we can use them
for the debug features without having to worry about a window where
they have the wrong setting.
