Daniel Wagner reported a crash on the BeagleBone Black SoC.
This is a single CPU architecture, and does not have a functional
arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() implementation which can crash
the kernel if that is called.
As it only has one CPU, it shouldn't be called, but if the kernel is
compiled for SMP, the push/pull RT scheduling logic now calls it for
irq_work if the one CPU is overloaded, it can use that function to call
itself and crash the kernel.
Ideally, we should disable the SCHED_FEAT(RT_PUSH_IPI) if the system
only has a single CPU. But SCHED_FEAT is a constant if sched debugging
is turned off. Another fix can also be used, and this should also help
with normal SMP machines. That is, do not initiate the pull code if
there's only one RT overloaded CPU, and that CPU happens to be the
current CPU that is scheduling in a lower priority task.
Even on a system with many CPUs, if there's many RT tasks waiting to
run on a single CPU, and that CPU schedules in another RT task of lower
priority, it will initiate the PULL logic in case there's a higher
priority RT task on another CPU that is waiting to run. But if there is
no other CPU with waiting RT tasks, it will initiate the RT pull logic
on itself (as it still has RT tasks waiting to run). This is a wasted
effort.
Not only does this help with SMP code where the current CPU is the only
one with RT overloaded tasks, it should also solve the issue that
Daniel encountered, because it will prevent the PULL logic from
executing, as there's only one CPU on the system, and the check added
here will cause it to exit the RT pull code.

Move local "sched.h" include to the bottom. sched.h defines
several macros that are getting redefined in ARCH-specific
code, for instance, finish_arch_post_lock_switch() and
prepare_arch_switch(), so we need ARCH-specific definitions
to come in first.

Unlike running, the runnable part can't be directly propagated through
the hierarchy when we migrate a task. The main reason is that runnable
time can be shared with other sched_entities that stay on the rq and
this runnable time will also remain on prev cfs_rq and must not be
removed.
Instead, we can estimate what should be the new runnable of the prev
cfs_rq and check that this estimation stay in a possible range. The
prop_runnable_sum is a good estimation when adding runnable_sum but
fails most often when we remove it. Instead, we could use the formula
below instead:
gcfs_rq's runnable_sum = gcfs_rq->avg.load_sum / gcfs_rq->load.weight
which assumes that tasks are equally runnable which is not true but
easy to compute.
Beside these estimates, we have several simple rules that help us to filter
out wrong ones:
- ge->avg.runnable_sum <= than LOAD_AVG_MAX
- ge->avg.runnable_sum >= ge->avg.running_sum (ge->avg.util_sum << LOAD_AVG_MAX)
- ge->avg.runnable_sum can't increase when we detach a task
The effect of these fixes is better cgroups balancing.

The following cleanup commit:
50816c48997a ("sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue entries")
... unintentionally changed the behavior of add_wait_queue() from
inserting the wait entry at the head of the wait queue to the tail
of the wait queue.
Beyond a negative performance impact this change in behavior
theoretically also breaks wait queues which mix exclusive and
non-exclusive waiters, as non-exclusive waiters will not be
woken up if they are queued behind enough exclusive waiters.

But the target task's priority has already been adjusted, so the only
purpose of switched_to_rt() invoking resched_curr() is to wake up the
CPU running some task that needs to be preempted by the boosted task.
But the CPU is offline, which presumably means that the task must be
migrated to some other CPU, and that this other CPU will undertake any
needed preemption at the time of migration. Because the runqueue lock
is held when resched_curr() is invoked, we know that the boosted task
cannot go anywhere, so it is not necessary to invoke resched_curr()
in this particular case.
This commit therefore makes switched_to_rt() refrain from invoking
resched_curr() when the target CPU is offline.

This splat cannot be generated by expedited grace periods because they
always invoke resched_cpu() on the current CPU, which is good because
expedited grace periods require that resched_cpu() unconditionally
succeed. However, other parts of RCU can tolerate resched_cpu() acting
as a no-op, at least as long as it doesn't happen too often.
This commit therefore makes resched_cpu() invoke resched_curr() only if
the CPU is either online or is the current CPU.

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.
The major points of the overhaul are:
(1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
in progress.
(2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.
(3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
it where possible.
(4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
servers break that restriction.
To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.
(5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
the fscache token for the cell.
(6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
the lifetime of the volume fscache token.
(7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
between those cells).
Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
rather than the address since a server can have multiple
addresses.
(8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.
(9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private
and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.
This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
becomes useless.
(10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
entirely on AFS.
Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are no real big ticket items here this time.
The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
(Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
now).
Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.
In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
framework.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.
Specifics:
- Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).
- Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).
- Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).
- Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).
- Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
(Rafael Wysocki).
- Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
(Chanwoo Choi).
- Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).
- Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
governor (Ramesh Thomas).
- Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

Also, change the argument name in the bit_wait*() function declarations to
reflect the fact that it's the mode and not the bit number.

When the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG support, we expect that
all SCHED_FEAT are turned into compile time constants being propagated
to support compiler optimizations.
Specifically, we expect that code blocks like this:
if (sched_feat(FEATURE_NAME) [&& <other_conditions>]) {
/* FEATURE CODE */
}
are turned into dead-code in case FEATURE_NAME defaults to FALSE, and thus
being removed by the compiler from the finale image.
For this mechanism to properly work it's required for the compiler to
have full access, from each translation unit, to whatever is the value
defined by the sched_feat macro. This macro is defined as:
#define sched_feat(x) (sysctl_sched_features & (1UL << __SCHED_FEAT_##x))
and thus, the compiler can optimize that code only if the value of
sysctl_sched_features is visible within each translation unit.
Since:
029632fbb ("sched: Make separate sched*.c translation units")
the scheduler code has been split into separate translation units
however the definition of sysctl_sched_features is part of
kernel/sched/core.c while, for all the other scheduler modules, it is
visible only via kernel/sched/sched.h as an:
extern const_debug unsigned int sysctl_sched_features
Unfortunately, an extern reference does not allow the compiler to apply
constants propagation. Thus, on !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel we still end up
with code to load a memory reference and (eventually) doing an unconditional
jump of a chunk of code.
This mechanism is unavoidable when sched_features can be turned on and off at
run-time. However, this is not the case for "production" kernels compiled with
!CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. In this case, sysctl_sched_features is just a constant value
which cannot be changed at run-time and thus memory loads and jumps can be
avoided altogether.
This patch fixes the case of !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel by declaring a local version
of the sysctl_sched_features constant for each translation unit. This will
ultimately allow the compiler to perform constants propagation and dead-code
pruning.
Tests have been done, with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG on a v4.14-rc8 with and without
the patch, by running 30 iterations of:
perf bench sched messaging --pipe --thread --group 4 --loop 50000
on a 40 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz using the
powersave governor to rule out variations due to frequency scaling.
Statistics on the reported completion time:
count mean std min 99% max

* pm-cpufreq-sched:
cpufreq: schedutil: Examine the correct CPU when we update util
|
|
'cached_raw_freq' is used to get the next frequency quickly but should
always be in sync with sg_policy->next_freq. There is a case where it is
not and in such cases it should be reset to avoid switching to incorrect
frequencies.
Consider this case for example:
- policy->cur is 1.2 GHz (Max)
- New request comes for 780 MHz and we store that in cached_raw_freq.
- Based on 780 MHz, we calculate the effective frequency as 800 MHz.
- We then see the CPU wasn't idle recently and choose to keep the next
freq as 1.2 GHz.
- Now we have cached_raw_freq is 780 MHz and sg_policy->next_freq is
1.2 GHz.
- Now if the utilization doesn't change in then next request, then the
next target frequency will still be 780 MHz and it will match with
cached_raw_freq. But we will choose 1.2 GHz instead of 800 MHz here.

After commit 674e75411fc2 (sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq
callbacks) we stopped to always read the utilization for the CPU we
are running the governor on, and instead we read it for the CPU
which we've been told has updated utilization. This is stored in
sugov_cpu->cpu.
The value is set in sugov_register() but we clear it in sugov_start()
which leads to always looking at the utilization of CPU0 instead of
the correct one.
Fix this by consolidating the initialization code into sugov_start().

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Add flags to control NOHZ and domain isolation from "isolcpus=", in
order to centralize the isolation features to a common interface. Domain
isolation remains the default so not to break the existing isolcpus
boot paramater behaviour.
Further flags in the future may include 0hz (1hz tick offload) and timers,
workqueue, RCU, kthread, watchdog, likely all merged together in a
common flag ("async"?). In any case, this will have to be modifiable by
cpusets.

We want to centralize the isolation management, done by the housekeeping
subsystem. Therefore we need to handle the nohz_full= parameter from
there.
Since nohz_full= so far has involved unbound timers, watchdog, RCU
and tilegx NAPI isolation, we keep that default behaviour.
nohz_full= will be deprecated in the future. We want to control
the isolation features from the isolcpus= parameter.

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation
features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL
without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler
isolation without NOHZ_FULL.
So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of
overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.

CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
Split the housekeeping config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This way we finally
separate the isolation code from NOHZ.
Although a dependency to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL remains for now, while the
housekeeping code still deals with NOHZ internals.

Housekeeping code still depends on the nohz_full static key. Since we want
to decouple housekeeping from NOHZ, let's create a housekeeping specific
static key.
It's mostly relevant for calls to is_housekeeping_cpu() from the scheduler.

The basic cpu stat is currently shown with "cpu." prefix in
cgroup.stat, and the same information is duplicated in cpu.stat when
cpu controller is enabled. This is ugly and not very scalable as we
want to expand the coverage of stat information which is always
available.
This patch makes cgroup core always create "cpu.stat" file and show
the basic cpu stat there and calls the cpu controller to show the
extra stats when enabled. This ensures that the same information
isn't presented in multiple places and makes future expansion of basic
stats easier.

!CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as a limit to parse the
passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits
represents varies depending upon the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option:
- If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is the same as
NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of CPUs that really exist
(default 64). So, there's a chance of a gap between nr_cpu_ids
and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse()
operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on an 8 cpu
system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error
that it's supposed to.
This patch fixes this bug by finding the last CPU of the passed
isolcpus= list and checking it against nr_cpu_ids.
It also fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be
nr_cpu_ids-1, since CPU numbering starts from 0.

This introduces a "register private expedited" membarrier command which
allows eventual removal of important memory barrier constraints on the
scheduler fast-paths. It changes how the "private expedited" membarrier
command (new to 4.14) is used from user-space.
This new command allows processes to register their intent to use the
private expedited command. This affects how the expedited private
command introduced in 4.14-rc is meant to be used, and should be merged
before 4.14 final.
Processes are now required to register before using
MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED, otherwise that command returns EPERM.
This fixes a problem that arose when designing requested extensions to
sys_membarrier() to allow JITs to efficiently flush old code from
instruction caches. Several potential algorithms are much less painful
if the user register intent to use this functionality early on, for
example, before the process spawns the second thread. Registering at
this time removes the need to interrupt each and every thread in that
process at the first expedited sys_membarrier() system call.

When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

find_idlest_group() returns NULL when the local group is idlest. The
caller then continues the find_idlest_group() search at a lower level
of the current CPU's sched_domain hierarchy. find_idlest_group_cpu() is
not consulted and, crucially, @new_cpu is not updated. This means the
search is pointless and we return @prev_cpu from select_task_rq_fair().
This is fixed by initialising @new_cpu to @cpu instead of @prev_cpu.

When 'p' is not allowed on any of the CPUs in the sched_domain, we
currently return NULL from find_idlest_group(), and pointlessly
continue the search on lower sched_domain levels (where 'p' is also not
allowed) before returning prev_cpu regardless (as we have not updated
new_cpu).
Add an explicit check for this case, and add a comment to
find_idlest_group(). Now when find_idlest_group() returns NULL, it always
means that the local group is allowed and idlest.

When the local group is not allowed we do not modify this_*_load from
their initial value of 0. That means that the load checks at the end
of find_idlest_group cause us to incorrectly return NULL. Fixing the
initial values to ULONG_MAX means we will instead return the idlest
remote group in that case.

In preparation for changes that would otherwise require adding a new
level of indentation to the while(sd) loop, create a new function
find_idlest_cpu() which contains this loop, and rename the existing
find_idlest_cpu() to find_idlest_group_cpu().
Code inside the while(sd) loop is unchanged. @new_cpu is added as a
variable in the new function, with the same initial value as the
@new_cpu in select_task_rq_fair().

The "goto force_balance" here is intended to mitigate the fact that
avg_load calculations can result in bad placement decisions when
priority is asymmetrical.
The original commit that adds it:
fab476228ba3 ("sched: Force balancing on newidle balance if local group has capacity")
explains:
Under certain situations, such as a niced down task (i.e. nice =
-15) in the presence of nr_cpus NICE0 tasks, the niced task lands
on a sched group and kicks away other tasks because of its large
weight. This leads to sub-optimal utilization of the
machine. Even though the sched group has capacity, it does not
pull tasks because sds.this_load >> sds.max_load, and f_b_g()
returns NULL.
A similar but inverted issue also affects ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU
capacity) systems - consider 8 always-running, same-priority tasks on a
system with 4 "big" and 4 "little" CPUs. Suppose that 5 of them end up on
the "big" CPUs (which will be represented by one sched_group in the DIE
sched_domain) and 3 on the "little" (the other sched_group in DIE), leaving
one CPU unused. Because the "big" group has a higher group_capacity its
avg_load may not present an imbalance that would cause migrating a
task to the idle "little".
The force_balance case here solves the problem but currently only for
CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balances, which in theory might never happen on the
unused CPU. Including CPU_IDLE in the force_balance case means
there's an upper bound on the time before we can attempt to solve the
underutilization: after DIE's sd->balance_interval has passed the
next nohz balance kick will help us out.

We use task_util() in find_idlest_group() via capacity_spare_wake().
This task_util() updated in wake_cap(). However wake_cap() is not the
only reason for ending up in find_idlest_group() - we could have been sent
there by wake_wide(). So explicitly sync the task util with prev_cpu
when we are about to head to find_idlest_group().
We could simply do this at the beginning of
select_task_rq_fair() (i.e. irrespective of whether we're heading to
select_idle_sibling() or find_idlest_group() & co), but I didn't want to
slow down the select_idle_sibling() path more than necessary.
Don't do this during fork balancing, we won't need the task_util and
we'd just clobber the last_update_time, which is supposed to be 0.

As a first step this patch makes cfs_tasks list as MRU one.
It means, that when a next task is picked to run on physical
CPU it is moved to the front of the list.
Therefore, the cfs_tasks list is more or less sorted (except
woken tasks) starting from recently given CPU time tasks toward
tasks with max wait time in a run-queue, i.e. MRU list.
Second, as part of the load balance operation, this approach
starts detach_tasks()/detach_one_task() from the tail of the
queue instead of the head, giving some advantages:
- tends to pick a task with highest wait time;
- tasks located in the tail are less likely cache-hot,
therefore the can_migrate_task() decision is higher.
hackbench illustrates slightly better performance. For example
doing 1000 samples and 40 groups on i5-3320M CPU, it shows below
figures:
default: 0.657 avg
patched: 0.646 avg

On AMD Family17h-based (EPYC) system, a logical NUMA node can contain
upto 8 cores (16 threads) with the following topology.
----------------------------
C0 | T0 T1 | || | T0 T1 | C4
--------| || |--------
C1 | T0 T1 | L3 || L3 | T0 T1 | C5
--------| || |--------
C2 | T0 T1 | #0 || #1 | T0 T1 | C6
--------| || |--------
C3 | T0 T1 | || | T0 T1 | C7
----------------------------
Here, there are 2 last-level (L3) caches per logical NUMA node.
A socket can contain upto 4 NUMA nodes, and a system can support
upto 2 sockets. With full system configuration, current scheduler
creates 4 sched domains:
domain0 SMT (span a core)
domain1 MC (span a last-level-cache)
domain2 NUMA (span a socket: 4 nodes)
domain3 NUMA (span a system: 8 nodes)
Note that there is no domain to represent cpus spaning a logical
NUMA node. With this hierarchy of sched domains, the scheduler does
not balance properly in the following cases:
Case1:
When running 8 tasks, a properly balanced system should
schedule a task per logical NUMA node. This is not the case for
the current scheduler.
Case2:
In some cases, threads are scheduled on the same cpu, while other
cpus are idle. This results in run-to-run inconsistency. For example:
taskset -c 0-7 sysbench --num-threads=8 --test=cpu \
--cpu-max-prime=100000 run
Total execution time ranges from 25.1s to 33.5s depending on threads
placement, where 25.1s is when all 8 threads are balanced properly
on 8 cpus.
Introducing NUMA identity node sched domain, which is based on how
SRAT/SLIT table define a logical NUMA node. This results in the following
hierarchy of sched domains on the same system described above.
domain0 SMT (span a core)
domain1 MC (span a last-level-cache)
domain2 NODE (span a logical NUMA node)
domain3 NUMA (span a socket: 4 nodes)
domain4 NUMA (span a system: 8 nodes)
This fixes the improper load balancing cases mentioned above.
