This is the initial pull request of sched_ext. The v7 patchset
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240618212056.2833381-1-tj@kernel.org) is
applied on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master as of Jun 18th.
tip/sched/core 793a62823d1c ("sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preempti
ble")
bpf/master f6afdaf72a ("Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'")
Since then, the following pulls were made:
- v6.11-rc1 is pulled to keep up with the mainline.
- tip/sched/core was pulled several times:
- 7b9f6c864a, 0df340ceae, 5ac998574f, 0b1777f0fa: To resolve
conflicts. See each commit for details on conflicts and their
resolutions.
- d7b01aef9d: To receive fd03c5b858 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task()")
and related commits. @prev in added to sched_class->put_prev_task() and
put_prev_task() is reordered after ->pick_task(), which makes
sched_class->switch_class() unnecessary. The follow-up commits update
sched_ext accordingly and drop sched_class->switch_class().
- bpf/master was pulled to receive baebe9aaba ("bpf: allow passing struct
bpf_iter_<type> as kfunc arguments") and related changes in preparation
for the DSQ iterator patchset
To obtain the net sched_ext changes, diff against:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git for-6.12-base
which is the merge of:
tip/sched/core bc9057da1a ("sched/cpufreq: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC for deadline task")
bpf/master 2ad6d23f46 ("selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily")
Since the v7 patchset, the following changes were made:
- cpuperf support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately
and then applied after reviews.
- cgroup support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted seprately,
iterated and then applied.
- Improve integration with sched core.
- Double locking usage in migration paths dropped. Depend on
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING synchronization instead.
- The BPF scheduler couldn't directly dispatch to the local DSQ of another
CPU using a SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON verdict. This caused difficulties around
handling non-wakeup enqueues. Updated so that SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON can be used
in the enqueue path too.
- DSQ iterator which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately.
The iterator itself was applied after a couple revisions. The associated
selective consumption kfunc can use further improvements and is still
being worked on.
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq() added to increase flexibility. A task
can now be transferred between two DSQs from almost any context. This
involved significant refactoring of migration code.
- Various fixes and improvements.
As the branch is based on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master, please merge
after both are applied.

Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
"This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
programs.
The goals of this are:
- Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
of new scheduling policies.
- Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
schedulers.
- Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
policies in production environments"
See individual commits for more documentation, but also the cover letter
for the latest series:

Pull in tip/sched/core to resolve two merge conflicts:
- 96fd6c65ef ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()")
5d871a6399 ("sched/fair: Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c")
A simple context conflict. The former added __update_blocked_others() in
the same #ifdef CONFIG_SMP block that effective_cpu_util() and
sched_cpu_util() are in and the latter moved those functions to fair.c.
This makes __update_blocked_others() more out of place. Will follow up
with a patch to relocate.
- 96fd6c65ef ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()")
84d265281d ("sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure")
The former factored out the body of __update_blocked_others() into
update_other_load_avgs(). The latter changed how update_hw_load_avg() is
called in the body. Resolved by applying the change to
update_other_load_avgs() instead.

commit 97450eb909 ("sched/pelt: Remove shift of thermal clock")
removed the decay_shift for hw_pressure. This commit uses the
sched_clock_task() in sched_tick() while it replaces the
sched_clock_task() with rq_clock_pelt() in __update_blocked_others().
This could bring inconsistence. One possible scenario I can think of
is in ___update_load_sum():
u64 delta = now - sa->last_update_time
'now' could be calculated by rq_clock_pelt() from
__update_blocked_others(), and last_update_time was calculated by
rq_clock_task() previously from sched_tick(). Usually the former
chases after the latter, it cause a very large 'delta' and brings
unexpected behavior.

Problem statement:
Since commit fc137c0dda ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic"), the
Numa vma scan overhead has been reduced a lot. Meanwhile, the reducing of
the vma scan might create less Numa page fault information. The
insufficient information makes it harder for the Numa balancer to make
decision. Later, commit b7a5b537c5 ("sched/numa: Complete scanning of
partial VMAs regardless of PID activity") and commit 84db47ca71
("sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan") are found to
bring back part of the performance.
Recently when running SPECcpu omnetpp_r on a 320 CPUs/2 Sockets system, a
long duration of remote Numa node read was observed by PMU events: A few
cores having ~500MB/s remote memory access for ~20 seconds. It causes
high core-to-core variance and performance penalty. After the
investigation, it is found that many vmas are skipped due to the active
PID check. According to the trace events, in most cases,
vma_is_accessed() returns false because the history access info stored in
pids_active array has been cleared.
Proposal:
The main idea is to adjust vma_is_accessed() to let it return true easier.
Thus compare the diff between mm->numa_scan_seq and
vma->numab_state->prev_scan_seq. If the diff has exceeded the threshold,
scan the vma.
This patch especially helps the cases where there are small number of
threads, like the process-based SPECcpu. Without this patch, if the
SPECcpu process access the vma at the beginning, then sleeps for a long
time, the pid_active array will be cleared. A a result, if this process
is woken up again, it never has a chance to set prot_none anymore.
Because only the first 2 times of access is granted for vma scan:
(current->mm->numa_scan_seq) - vma->numab_state->start_scan_seq) < 2 to be
worse, no other threads within the task can help set the prot_none. This
causes information lost.

- Merge sched_class->switch_class() addition from sched_ext with

put_prev_task(.next).
Notable SCX will use this to:
1) determine the next task will leave the SCX sched class and push
the current task to another CPU if possible.
2) statistics on how often and which other classes preempt it

When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server
set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see
update_curr_task().
Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through
the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial
solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this
location).
However, this gives a problem when:
p = pick_task(rq);
if (p)
put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next);
picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes
from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In
that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or
preserve p->dl_server.
An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a
remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules
the core_pick.
Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of
p->dl_server by:
- having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server
- having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server
- having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server
- complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where
appropriate.

The current rule is that:
pick_next_task() := pick_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
And many classes implement it directly as such. Change things around
to make pick_next_task() optional while also changing the definition to:
pick_next_task(prev) := pick_task() + put_prev_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
The reason is that sched_ext would like to have a 'final' call that
knows the next task. By placing put_prev_task() right next to
set_next_task() (as it already is for sched_core) this becomes
trivial.
As a bonus, this is a nice cleanup on its own.

__sched_setscheduler() goes through an enqueue/dequeue cycle like so:
flags := DEQUEUE_SAVE | DEQUEUE_MOVE | DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK;
prev_class->dequeue_task(rq, p, flags);
new_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags);
when prev_class := fair_sched_class, this is followed by:
dequeue_task(rq, p, DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK | DEQUEUE_SLEEP);
the idea being that since the task has switched classes, we need to drop
the sched_delayed logic and have that task be deactivated per its previous
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_SLEEP).
Unfortunately, this leaves the task on_rq. This is missing the tail end of
dequeue_entities() that issues __block_task(), which __sched_setscheduler()
won't have done due to not using DEQUEUE_DELAYED - not that it should, as
it is pretty much a fair_sched_class specific thing.
Make switched_from_fair() properly deactivate sched_delayed tasks upon
class changes via __block_task(), as if a
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_DELAYED)
had been issued.

When soft interrupt actions are called, they are passed a pointer to the
struct softirq action which contains the action's function pointer.
This pointer isn't useful, as the action callback already knows what
function it is. And since each callback handles a specific soft interrupt,
the callback also knows which soft interrupt number is running.
No soft interrupt action callback actually uses this parameter, so remove
it from the function pointer signature. This clarifies that soft interrupt
actions are global routines and makes it slightly cheaper to call them.

Allow applications to directly set a suggested request/slice length using
sched_attr::sched_runtime.
The implementation clamps the value to: 0.1[ms] <= slice <= 100[ms]
which is 1/10 the size of HZ=1000 and 10 times the size of HZ=100.
Applications should strive to use their periodic runtime at a high
confidence interval (95%+) as the target slice. Using a smaller slice
will introduce undue preemptions, while using a larger value will
increase latency.

Extend / fix 86bfbb7ce4 ("sched/fair: Add lag based placement") by
noting that lag is fundamentally a temporal measure. It should not be
carried around indefinitely.
OTOH it should also not be instantly discarded, doing so will allow a
task to game the system by purposefully (micro) sleeping at the end of
its time quantum.
Since lag is intimately tied to the virtual time base, a wall-time
based decay is also insufficient, notably competition is required for
any of this to make sense.
Instead, delay the dequeue and keep the 'tasks' on the runqueue,
competing until they are eligible.
Strictly speaking, we only care about keeping them until the 0-lag
point, but that is a difficult proposition, instead carry them around
until they get picked again, and dequeue them at that point.

balance_fair() skips newidle balancing if rq->nr_running - there are already
tasks on the rq, so no need to try to pull tasks. This tests the total
number of queued tasks on the CPU instead of only the fair class, but is
still correct as the rq can currently only have fair class tasks while
balance_fair() is running.
However, with the addition of sched_ext below the fair class, this will not
hold anymore and make put_prev_task_balance() skip sched_ext's balance()
incorrectly as, when a CPU has only lower priority class tasks,
rq->nr_running would still be positive and balance_fair() would return 1
even when fair doesn't have any tasks to run.
Update balance_fair() to use sched_fair_runnable() which tests
rq->cfs.nr_running which is updated by bandwidth throttling. Note that
pick_next_task_fair() already uses sched_fair_runnable() in its optimized
path for the same purpose.

* Use simple CFS pick_task for DL pick_task
DL server's pick_task calls CFS's pick_next_task_fair(), this is wrong
because core scheduling's pick_task only calls CFS's pick_task() for
evaluation / checking of the CFS task (comparing across CPUs), not for
actually affirmatively picking the next task. This causes RB tree
corruption issues in CFS that were found by syzbot.
* Make pick_task_fair clear DL server
A DL task pick might set ->dl_server, but it is possible the task will
never run (say the other HT has a stop task). If the CFS task is picked
in the future directly (say without DL server), ->dl_server will be
set. So clear it in pick_task_fair().
This fixes the KASAN issue reported by syzbot in set_next_entity().

Among the motivations for the DL servers is the real-time throttling
mechanism. This mechanism works by throttling the rt_rq after
running for a long period without leaving space for fair tasks.
The base dl server avoids this problem by boosting fair tasks instead
of throttling the rt_rq. The point is that it boosts without waiting
for potential starvation, causing some non-intuitive cases.
For example, an IRQ dispatches two tasks on an idle system, a fair
and an RT. The DL server will be activated, running the fair task
before the RT one. This problem can be avoided by deferring the
dl server activation.
By setting the defer option, the dl_server will dispatch an
SCHED_DEADLINE reservation with replenished runtime, but throttled.
The dl_timer will be set for the defer time at (period - runtime) ns
from start time. Thus boosting the fair rq at defer time.
If the fair scheduler has the opportunity to run while waiting
for defer time, the dl server runtime will be consumed. If
the runtime is completely consumed before the defer time, the
server will be replenished while still in a throttled state. Then,
the dl_timer will be reset to the new defer time
If the fair server reaches the defer time without consuming
its runtime, the server will start running, following CBS rules
(thus without breaking SCHED_DEADLINE). Then the server will
continue the running state (without deferring) until it fair
tasks are able to execute as regular fair scheduler (end of
the starvation).

SCHED_IDLE task_A SCHED_NORMAL task_B
According to the cgroup hierarchy, A should preempt B. But current
check_preempt_wakeup_fair() treats cgroup se and task separately, so B
will preempt A unexpectedly.

similar to the behavior of NICE.

When creating a new task, we initialize vruntime of the newly task at
sched_cgroup_fork(). However, the timing of executing this action is too
early and may not be accurate.
Because it uses current CPU to init the vruntime, but the new task
actually runs on the cpu which be assigned at wake_up_new_task().
To optimize this case, we pass ENQUEUE_INITIAL flag to activate_task()
in wake_up_new_task(), in this way, when place_entity is called in
enqueue_entity(), the vruntime of the new task will be initialized.
In addition, place_entity() in task_fork_fair() was introduced for two
reasons:
1. Previously, the __enqueue_entity() was in task_new_fair(),
in order to provide vruntime for enqueueing the newly task, the
vruntime assignment equation "se->vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime" was
introduced by commit e9acbff648 ("sched: introduce se->vruntime").
This is the initial state of place_entity().
2. commit 4d78e7b656 ("sched: new task placement for vruntime") added
child_runs_first task placement feature which based on vruntime, this
also requires the new task's vruntime value.
After removing the child_runs_first and enqueue_entity() from
task_fork_fair(), this place_entity() no longer makes sense, so remove
it also.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo<tj@kernel.org>
When a task's weight is being changed, set_load_weight() is called with
@update_load set. As weight changes aren't trivial for the fair class,
set_load_weight() calls fair.c::reweight_task() for fair class tasks.
However, set_load_weight() first tests task_has_idle_policy() on entry and
skips calling reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks. This is buggy as
SCHED_IDLE tasks are just fair tasks with a very low weight and they would
incorrectly skip load, vlag and position updates.
Fix it by updating reweight_task() to take struct load_weight as idle weight
can't be expressed with prio and making set_load_weight() call
reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks too when @update_load is set.
