Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:
- a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
trivial set, is currently in the works).
This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
fallback options which make it quite flexible.
Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from
Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to
the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in
the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of
other places.
One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface
has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations
of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better.
Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware
support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver.
Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend
profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous
profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under
tools/power/pm-graph/.
The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization.
Specifics:
- Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more
straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki).
- Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP
(hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes
and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a
wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen).
- Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box).
- Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver
and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz).
- Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of
issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs
tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers
(Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar,
YuanTian Tang).
- Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic
power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf
Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up
(Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy).
- Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add
an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd
Brandt).
- Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage
Scaling) driver (David Wu).
- Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer
utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation
(Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)"

irq_time_read() returns the irqtime minus the ksoftirqd time. This
is necessary because irq_time_read() is used to substract the IRQ time
from the sum_exec_runtime of a task. If we were to include the softirq
time of ksoftirqd, this task would substract its own CPU time everytime
it updates ksoftirqd->sum_exec_runtime which would therefore never
progress.
But this behaviour got broken by:
a499a5a14db ("sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account")
... which now includes ksoftirqd softirq time in the time returned by
irq_time_read().
This has resulted in wrong ksoftirqd cputime reported to userspace
through /proc/stat and thus "top" not showing ksoftirqd when it should
after intense networking load.
ksoftirqd->stime happens to be correct but it gets scaled down by
sum_exec_runtime through task_cputime_adjusted().
To fix this, just account the strict IRQ time in a separate counter and
use it to report the IRQ time.

Make the schedutil governor take the initial (default) value of the
rate_limit_us sysfs attribute from the (new) transition_delay_us
policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver).
That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default
values of rate_limit_us and reduce the default average time interval
between consecutive frequency changes.
Make intel_pstate set transition_delay_us to 500.

We truncate (and loose) the lower 10 bits of runtime in
___update_load_avg(), this means there's a consistent bias to
under-account tasks. This is esp. significant for small tasks.
Cure this by only forwarding last_update_time to the point we've
actually accounted for, leaving the remainder for the next time.

Historically our periods (or p) argument in PELT denoted the number of
full periods (what is now d2). However recent patches have changed
this to the total decay (previously p+1), leading to a confusing
discrepancy between comments and code.
Try and clarify things by making periods (in code) and p (in comments)
be the same thing (again).

Paul noticed that in the (periods >= LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) case in
__accumulate_sum(), the returned contribution value (LOAD_AVG_MAX) is
incorrect.
This is because at this point, the decay_load() on the old state --
the first step in accumulate_sum() -- will not have resulted in 0, and
will therefore result in a sum larger than the maximum value of our
series. Obviously broken.
Note that:
decay_load(LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) =
1 (345 / 32)
47742 * - ^ = ~27
2
Not to mention that any further contribution from the d3 segment (our
new period) would also push it over the maximum.
Solve this by noting that we can write our c2 term:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
In terms of our maximum value:
inf inf p
max = 1024 \Sum y^n = 1024 ( \Sum y^n + \Sum y^n + y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1 n=1
Further note that:
inf inf inf
( \Sum y^n ) y^p = \Sum y^(n+p) = \Sum y^n
n=0 n=0 n=p
Combined that gives us:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
inf inf
= 1024 ( \Sum y^n - \Sum y^n - y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1
= max - (max y^(p+1)) - 1024
Further simplify things by dealing with p=0 early on.

The schedutil governor reduces frequencies too fast in some
situations which cases undesirable performance drops to
appear.
To address that issue, make schedutil reduce the frequency slower by
setting it to the average of the value chosen during the previous
iteration of governor computations and the new one coming from its
frequency selection formula.

With the introduction of SCHED_DEADLINE the whole notion that priority
is a single number is gone, therefore the @prio argument to
rt_mutex_setprio() doesn't make sense anymore.
So rework the code to pass a pi_task instead.
Note this also fixes a problem with pi_top_task caching; previously we
would not set the pointer (call rt_mutex_update_top_task) if the
priority didn't change, this could lead to a stale pointer.
As for the XXX, I think its fine to use pi_task->prio, because if it
differs from waiter->prio, a PI chain update is immenent.

This is because rt_mutex_enqueue_pi() and rt_mutex_dequeue_pi()
are only protected by pi_lock when operating pi waiters, while
rt_mutex_get_top_task(), will access them with rq lock held but
not holding pi_lock.
In order to tackle it, we introduce new "pi_top_task" pointer
cached in task_struct, and add new rt_mutex_update_top_task()
to update its value, it can be called by rt_mutex_setprio()
which held both owner's pi_lock and rq lock. Thus "pi_top_task"
can be safely accessed by enqueue_task_dl() under rq lock.

- unbreak perf test tsc by taking the new offset into account which

- switching sched clock to unstable mode runs all clock related
computations which affect the sched clock output itself from a work

provides wrong timestamps. Keep the math in the protected context

The main PELT function ___update_load_avg(), which implements the
accumulation and progression of the geometric average series, is
implemented along the following lines for the scenario where the time
delta spans all 3 possible sections (see figure below):
1. add the remainder of the last incomplete period
2. decay old sum
3. accumulate new sum in full periods since last_update_time
4. accumulate the current incomplete period
5. update averages
Or:
d1 d2 d3
^ ^ ^

... |---x---|------| ... |------|-----x (now)
load_sum' = (load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) + (1,2)
p
weight * scale * 1024 * \Sum y^n + (3)
n=1
weight * scale * d3 * y^0 (4)
load_avg' = load_sum' / LOAD_AVG_MAX (5)
Where:
d1 - is the delta part completing the remainder of the last
incomplete period,
d2 - is the delta part spannind complete periods, and
d3 - is the delta part starting the current incomplete period.
We can simplify the code in two steps; the first step is to separate
the first term into new and old parts like:
(load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * d1 * y^(p+1)
Once we've done that, its easy to see that all new terms carry the
common factors:
weight * scale
If we factor those out, we arrive at the form:
load_sum' = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * (d1 * y^(p+1) +
p
1024 * \Sum y^n +
n=1
d3 * y^0)
Which results in a simpler, smaller and faster implementation.

The __update_load_avg() function is an __always_inline because its
used with constant propagation to generate different variants of the
code without having to duplicate it (which would be prone to bugs).
Explicitly instantiate the 3 variants.
Note that most of this is called from rather hot paths, so reducing

When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and
we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable()
function is eventually called.
In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true:
sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset
But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values
from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and
instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod.
However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not
add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we
determine the boundaries for min/max clocks.
This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.

If the child domain prefers tasks to go siblings, the local group could
end up pulling tasks to itself even if the local group is almost equally
loaded as the source group.
Lets assume a 4 core,smt==2 machine running 5 thread ebizzy workload.
Everytime, local group has capacity and source group has atleast 2 threads,
local group tries to pull the task. This causes the threads to constantly
move between different cores. This is even more profound if the cores have
more threads, like in Power 8, smt 8 mode.
Fix this by only allowing local group to pull a task, if the source group
has more number of tasks than the local group.
Here are the relevant perf stat numbers of a 22 core,smt 8 Power 8 machine.

sugov_update_commit() calls trace_cpu_frequency() to record the
current CPU frequency if it has not changed in the fast switch case
to prevent utilities from getting confused (they may report that the
CPU is idle if the frequency has not been recorded for too long, for
example).
However, that may cause the tracepoint to be triggered quite often
for no real reason (if the frequency doesn't change, we will not
modify the last update time stamp and governor computations may
run again shortly when that happens), so don't do that (arguably, it
is done to work around a utilities bug anyway).
That allows code duplication in sugov_update_commit() to be reduced
somewhat too.

A regression of the FTQ noise has been reported by Ying Huang,
on the following hardware:
8 threads Intel(R) Core(TM)i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8G memory
... which was caused by this commit:
commit 4e5160766fcc ("sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach")
The only part of the patch that can increase the noise is the update
of blocked load of group entity in update_blocked_averages().
We can optimize this call and skip the update of group entity if its load
and utilization are already null and there is no pending propagation of load
in the task group.
This optimization partly restores the noise score. A more agressive
optimization has been tried but has shown worse score.

The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to
underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases.
That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on
a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with
it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs
were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum
P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case.
The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are
requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after
a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to
visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion
which clearly is not desirable.
That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task
migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be
reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens,
the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will
attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That
may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally
busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that
CPU already.
This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are
shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy
utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values
over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the
frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On
systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance
adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases.
On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization
metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose
frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if
that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future
and its frequency should not be reduced.
To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code.
Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the
current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced.
If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the
governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all
that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new
frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor
will skip the frequency update.

I was testing Daniel's changes with his test case, and tweaked it a
little. Instead of having the runtime equal to the deadline, I
increased the deadline ten fold.
Daniel's test case had:
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
To make it more interesting, I changed it to:
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 20 * 1000 * 1000; /* 20 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
The results were rather surprising. The behavior that Daniel's patch
was fixing came back. The task started using much more than .1% of the
CPU. More like 20%.
Looking into this I found that it was due to the dl_entity_overflow()
constantly returning true. That's because it uses the relative period
against relative runtime vs the absolute deadline against absolute
runtime.
runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_period
There's even a comment mentioning this, and saying that when relative
deadline equals relative period, that the equation is the same as using
deadline instead of period. That comment is backwards! What we really
want is:
runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_deadline
We care about if the runtime can make its deadline, not its period. And
then we can say "when the deadline equals the period, the equation is
the same as using dl_period instead of dl_deadline".
After correcting this, now when the task gets enqueued, it can throttle
correctly, and Daniel's fix to the throttling of sleeping deadline
tasks works even when the runtime and deadline are not the same.

deadline
During the activation, CBS checks if it can reuse the current task's
runtime and period. If the deadline of the task is in the past, CBS
cannot use the runtime, and so it replenishes the task. This rule
works fine for implicit deadline tasks (deadline == period), and the
CBS was designed for implicit deadline tasks. However, a task with
constrained deadline (deadine < period) might be awakened after the
deadline, but before the next period. In this case, replenishing the
task would allow it to run for runtime / deadline. As in this case
deadline < period, CBS enables a task to run for more than the
runtime / period. In a very loaded system, this can cause a domino
effect, making other tasks miss their deadlines.
To avoid this problem, in the activation of a constrained deadline
task after the deadline but before the next period, throttle the
task and set the replenishing timer to the begin of the next period,
unless it is boosted.
Reproducer:

int main (int argc, char **argv)

Currently, the replenishment timer is set to fire at the deadline
of a task. Although that works for implicit deadline tasks because the
deadline is equals to the begin of the next period, that is not correct
for constrained deadline tasks (deadline < period).
For instance:
f.c:
--------------- %< ---------------
int main (void)
{
for(;;);
}
--------------- >% ---------------
# gcc -o f f.c
# trace-cmd record -e sched:sched_switch \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_sched_setattr \
chrt -d --sched-runtime 490000000 \
--sched-deadline 500000000 \
--sched-period 1000000000 0 ./f
# trace-cmd report | grep "{pid of ./f}"
After setting parameters, the task is replenished and continue running
until being throttled:
f-11295 [003] 13322.113776: sys_exit_sched_setattr: 0x0
The task is throttled after running 492318 ms, as expected:
f-11295 [003] 13322.606094: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> watchdog/3:32 [0]
But then, the task is replenished 500719 ms after the first
replenishment:
<idle>-0 [003] 13322.614495: sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> f:11295 [-1]
Running for 490277 ms:
f-11295 [003] 13323.104772: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> swapper/3:0 [120]
Hence, in the first period, the task runs 2 * runtime, and that is a bug.
During the first replenishment, the next deadline is set one period away.
So the runtime / period starts to be respected. However, as the second
replenishment took place in the wrong instant, the next replenishment
will also be held in a wrong instant of time. Rather than occurring in
the nth period away from the first activation, it is taking place
in the (nth period - relative deadline).

'calc_load_update' is accessed without any kind of locking and there's
a clear assumption in the code that only a single value is read or
written.
Make this explicit by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), and avoid
unintentionally seeing multiple values, or having the load/stores
split.
Technically the loads in calc_global_*() don't require this since
those are the only functions that update 'calc_load_update', but I've
added the READ_ONCE() for consistency.

If we crossed a sample window while in NO_HZ we will add LOAD_FREQ to
the pending sample window time on exit, setting the next update not
one window into the future, but two.
This situation on exiting NO_HZ is described by:
this_rq->calc_load_update < jiffies < calc_load_update
In this scenario, what we should be doing is:
this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update [ next window ]
But what we actually do is:
this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update + LOAD_FREQ [ next+1 window ]
This has the effect of delaying load average updates for potentially
up to ~9seconds.
This can result in huge spikes in the load average values due to
per-cpu uninterruptible task counts being out of sync when accumulated
across all CPUs.
It's safe to update the per-cpu active count if we wake between sample
windows because any load that we left in 'calc_load_idle' will have
been zero'd when the idle load was folded in calc_global_load().
This issue is easy to reproduce before,
commit 9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")
just by forking short-lived process pipelines built from ps(1) and
grep(1) in a loop. I'm unable to reproduce the spikes after that
commit, but the bug still seems to be present from code review.

The following warning can be triggered by hot-unplugging the CPU

The DL task will be migrated to a suitable later deadline rq once the DL
timer fires and currnet rq is offline. The rq clock of the new rq should
be updated. This patch fixes it by updating the rq clock after holding
the new rq's rq lock.
