cfs_rq_tg_path() is used by a tracepoint-to traceevent (tp-2-te)
converter to format the path of a taskgroup or autogroup respectively.
It doesn't have any in-kernel users after the removal of the
sched_trace_cfs_rq_path() helper function.
cfs_rq_tg_path() can be coded in a tp-2-te converter.

We no longer need them as we can use DWARF debug info or BTF + pahole to
re-generate the required structs to compile against them for a given
kernel.
This moves the burden of maintaining these helper functions to the
module.
https://github.com/qais-yousef/sched_tp
Note that pahole v1.15 is required at least for using DWARF. And for BTF
v1.23 which is not yet released will be required. There's alignment
problem that will lead to crashes in earlier versions when used with
BTF.
We should have enough infrastructure to make these helper functions now
obsolete, so remove them.

Except the 'task has no contribution or is new' condition at the
beginning of cpu_util_without(), which it shares with the load and
runnable counterpart functions, a cpu_util_next(..., dst_cpu = -1)
call can replace the rest of it.
The UTIL_EST specific check that task util_est has to be subtracted
from the CPU one in case of an enqueued (or current (to cater for the
wakeup - lb race)) task has to be moved to cpu_util_next().
This was initially introduced by commit c469933e77
("sched/fair: Fix cpu_util_wake() for 'execl' type workloads").
UnixBench's `execl` throughput tests were run on the dual socket 40
CPUs Intel E5-2690 v2 to make sure it doesn't regress again.

The warning in cfs_rq_is_decayed() triggered:
SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->avg.load_avg ||
cfs_rq->avg.util_avg ||
cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg)
There exists a corner case in attach_entity_load_avg() which will
cause load_sum to be zero while load_avg will not be.
Consider se_weight is 88761 as per the sched_prio_to_weight[] table.
Further assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, this gives:
se->avg.load_avg is 1.
However, calculating load_sum:
se->avg.load_sum = div_u64(se->avg.load_avg * se->avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
se->avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.
Then enqueue_load_avg() adds this to the cfs_rq totals:
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg += se->avg.load_avg;
cfs_rq->avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se->avg.load_sum;
Resulting in load_avg being 1 with load_sum is 0, which will trigger
the WARN.

This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was
around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
making the semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.

Qian Cai reported a boot crash on arm64 systems, caused by:

The bug is that node_state() must be supplied a valid node_states[] array index,
but in task_numa_placement() the max_nid search can fail with NUMA_NO_NODE,
which is not a valid index.
Fix it by checking that max_nid is a valid index.

Two of them rely on being included in the middle of kernel/sched/sched.h,
due to definitions they require:
- "stat.h" needs the rq definitions.
- "autogroup.h" needs the task_group definition.
Move the inclusion of these two files out of kernel/sched/sched.h, and

In a typical memory tiering system, there's no CPU in slow (PMEM) NUMA
nodes. But if the number of the hint page faults on a PMEM node is
the max for a task, The current NUMA balancing policy may try to place
the task on the PMEM node instead of DRAM node. This is unreasonable,
because there's no CPU in PMEM NUMA nodes. To fix this, CPU-less
nodes are ignored when searching the migration target node for a task
in this patch.
To test the patch, we run a workload that accesses more memory in PMEM
node than memory in DRAM node. Without the patch, the PMEM node will
be chosen as preferred node in task_numa_placement(). While the DRAM
node will be chosen instead with the patch.

In this system, there are only 2 sockets. In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed. Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex. Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3. And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type. But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.
This isn't a practical problem now yet. Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot. So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT. And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in. And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes. But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.
To test the potential problem. We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()). With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels: 4
sched_max_numa_distance: 28
To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified. Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.
With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels: 2
sched_max_numa_distance: 21

Commit 7d2b5dd0bc ("sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA
nodes") allowed an imbalance between NUMA nodes such that communicating
tasks would not be pulled apart by the load balancer. This works fine when
there is a 1:1 relationship between LLC and node but can be suboptimal
for multiple LLCs if independent tasks prematurely use CPUs sharing cache.
Zen* has multiple LLCs per node with local memory channels and due to
the allowed imbalance, it's far harder to tune some workloads to run
optimally than it is on hardware that has 1 LLC per node. This patch
allows an imbalance to exist up to the point where LLCs should be balanced
between nodes.
On a Zen3 machine running STREAM parallelised with OMP to have on instance
per LLC the results and without binding, the results are

There are inconsistencies when determining if a NUMA imbalance is allowed
that should be corrected.
o allow_numa_imbalance changes types and is not always examining
the destination group so both the type should be corrected as
well as the naming.
o find_idlest_group uses the sched_domain's weight instead of the
group weight which is different to find_busiest_group
o find_busiest_group uses the source group instead of the destination
which is different to task_numa_find_cpu
o Both find_idlest_group and find_busiest_group should account
for the number of running tasks if a move was allowed to be

Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045
He bisected the problem to:
commit 1c35b07e6d ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")
This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after
removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By
doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to
LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been
reflected in util_avg.
update_tg_cfs_util() is not the only place where we round util_sum and
lost some accumulated contributions that are not already reflected in
util_avg. Modify update_tg_cfs_util() and detach_entity_load_avg() to not
sync util_sum with the new util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to
the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization,
we propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum
always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been
observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.
Commit a07630b8b2 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.
The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).
For straightforwardness, prefer to keep using `int cpu` as the function
parameter over using `struct rq *rq` which might avoid some calls to
cpu_rq(cpu) -> per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) -> RELOC_HIDE().

select_idle_sibling() has a special case for tasks woken up by a per-CPU
kthread where the selected CPU is the previous one. For asymmetric CPU
capacity systems, the assumption was that the wakee couldn't have a
bigger utilization during task placement than it used to have during the
last activation. That was not considering uclamp.min which can completely
change between two task activations and as a consequence mandates the
fitness criterion asym_fits_capacity(), even for the exit path described

condition for this exit path is incomplete. A task can wake up from an
interrupt context (e.g. hrtimer), while a per-CPU kthread is running. A
such scenario would spuriously trigger the special case described above.
Also, a recent change made the idle task like a regular per-CPU kthread,
hence making that situation more likely to happen
(is_per_cpu_kthread(swapper) being true now).
Checking for task context makes sure select_idle_sibling() will not

Adds accounting for "forced idle" time, which is time where a cookie'd
task forces its SMT sibling to idle, despite the presence of runnable
tasks.
Forced idle time is one means to measure the cost of enabling core
scheduling (ie. the capacity lost due to the need to force idle).
Forced idle time is attributed to the thread responsible for causing
the forced idle.
A few details:
- Forced idle time is displayed via /proc/PID/sched. It also requires
that schedstats is enabled.
- Forced idle is only accounted when a sibling hyperthread is held
idle despite the presence of runnable tasks. No time is charged if
a sibling is idle but has no runnable tasks.
- Tasks with 0 cookie are never charged forced idle.
- For SMT > 2, we scale the amount of forced idle charged based on the
number of forced idle siblings. Additionally, we split the time up and
evenly charge it to all running tasks, as each is equally responsible
for the forced idle.

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.
His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.
Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.
When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.
To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see
it, as can be seen below:
CPU1: CPU2:
: timer IRQ:
: do_sched_cfs_period_timer():
: :
: distribute_cfs_runtime():
: rcu_read_lock();
: :
: unthrottle_cfs_rq():
sched_offline_group(): :
: walk_tg_tree_from(…,tg_unthrottle_up,…):
list_del_rcu(&tg->list); :
(1) : list_for_each_entry_rcu(child, &parent->children, siblings)
: :
(2) list_del_rcu(&tg->siblings); :
: tg_unthrottle_up():
unregister_fair_sched_group(): struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu_of(rq)];
: :
list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg->cfs_rq[cpu]); :
: :
: if (!cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq) || cfs_rq->nr_running)
(3) : list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);
: :
: :
: :
: :
: :
(4) : rcu_read_unlock();
CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(),
specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at
(1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from
still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink
all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in
unregister_fair_sched_group(). Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of
these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on.
To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until
walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e.
after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe
to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the
dying task group any more.
On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after
unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might
run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd
ones.
This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to
trigger within minutes before.

When deciding to pull tasks in ASYM_PACKING, it is necessary not only to
check for the idle state of the destination CPU, dst_cpu, but also of
its SMT siblings.
If dst_cpu is idle but its SMT siblings are busy, performance suffers
if it pulls tasks from a medium priority CPU that does not have SMT
siblings.
Implement asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() to inspect the state of the SMT
siblings of both dst_cpu and the CPUs in the candidate busiest group.

The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are
update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se)
The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is
used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In
order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass
the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly.
Then the new helpers are
update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct sched_statistics *stats)
which are independent of fair sched class.
To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when
!schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also
introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c,
__update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct sched_statistics *stats)
The size of vmlinux as follows,
Before After
Size of vmlinux 826308552 826304640
The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after
the change.
I also compared the sched performance with 'perf bench sched pipe',
suggested by Mel. The result as followsi (in usecs/op),
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.
After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,
struct task_struct {
...
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_rt_entity rt;
struct sched_dl_entity dl;
...
struct sched_statistics stats;
...
};
Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -
struct sched_entity_stats {
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_statistics stats;
} __no_randomize_layout;
Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.
The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.
As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5

Give reduced sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities. As a result, woken
SCHED_IDLE entities will take longer to preempt normal entities.
The benefit of this change is to make it less likely that a newly woken
SCHED_IDLE entity will preempt a short-running normal entity before it
blocks.
We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that
idle<->idle competition retains some fairness.
Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of
which was set to SCHED_IDLE. Without this patch, wakeup latency for the

Use a small, non-scaled min granularity for SCHED_IDLE entities, when
competing with normal entities. This reduces the latency of getting
a normal entity back on cpu, at the expense of increased context
switch frequency of SCHED_IDLE entities.
The benefit of this change is to reduce the round-robin latency for
normal entities when competing with a SCHED_IDLE entity.
Example: on a machine with HZ=1000, spawned two threads, one of which is
SCHED_IDLE, and affined to one cpu. Without this patch, the SCHED_IDLE
thread runs for 4ms then waits for 1.4s. With this patch, it runs for

Consider a system with some NOHZ-idle CPUs, such that
nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S
nohz.next_balance = T
When a new CPU k goes NOHZ idle (nohz_balance_enter_idle()), we end up
with:
nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S \U {k}
nohz.next_balance = T
Note that the nohz.next_balance hasn't changed - it won't be updated until
a NOHZ balance is triggered. This is problematic if the newly NOHZ idle CPU
has an earlier rq.next_balance than the other NOHZ idle CPUs, IOW if:
cpu_rq(k).next_balance < nohz.next_balance
In such scenarios, the existing nohz.next_balance will prevent any NOHZ
balance from happening, which itself will prevent nohz.next_balance from
being updated to this new cpu_rq(k).next_balance. Unnecessary load balance
delays of over 12ms caused by this were observed on an arm64 RB5 board.
Use the new nohz.needs_update flag to mark the presence of newly-idle CPUs
that need their rq->next_balance to be collated into
nohz.next_balance. Trigger a NOHZ_NEXT_KICK when the flag is set.

Since commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to
list on unthrottle") we add cfs_rqs with no runnable tasks but not fully
decayed into the load (leaf) list. We may ignore adding some ancestors
and therefore breaking tmp_alone_branch invariant. This broke LTP test
cfs_bandwidth01 and it was partially fixed in commit fdaba61ef8
("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling").
I noticed the named test still fails even with the fix (but with low
probability, 1 in ~1000 executions of the test). The reason is when
bailing out of unthrottle_cfs_rq early, we may miss adding ancestors of
the unthrottled cfs_rq, thus, not joining tmp_alone_branch properly.
Fix this by adding ancestors if we notice the unthrottled cfs_rq was
added to the load list.

This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups.
Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle.
0: default behavior
1: SCHED_IDLE
Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing
aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its
descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its
ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly.
Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight.
There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup
SCHED_IDLE interface:
- The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to
maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the
cgroup, not the tasks themselves.
- Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption
decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken
task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity.
A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a
non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs
the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs
other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing
matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be
improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the
perspective of a specific task).
For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches
may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities.
The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds
either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for
further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may
indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred
for preemption/placement/etc.

After select_idle_sibling, p->recent_used_cpu is set to the
new target. However on the next wakeup, prev will be the same as
recent_used_cpu unless the load balancer has moved the task since the
last wakeup. It still works, but is less efficient than it could be.
This patch preserves recent_used_cpu for longer.
The impact on SIS efficiency is tiny so the SIS statistic patches were
used to track the hit rate for using recent_used_cpu. With perf bench
pipe on a 2-socket Cascadelake machine, the hit rate went from 57.14%
to 85.32%. For more intensive wakeup loads like hackbench, the hit rate
is almost negligible but rose from 0.21% to 6.64%. For scaling loads
like tbench, the hit rate goes from almost 0% to 25.42% overall. Broadly
speaking, on tbench, the success rate is much higher for lower thread
counts and drops to almost 0 as the workload scales to towards saturation.

The time remaining until expiry of the refresh_timer can be negative.
Casting the type to an unsigned 64-bit value will cause integer
underflow, making the runtime_refresh_within return false instead of
true. These situations are rare, but they do happen.
This does not cause user-facing issues or errors; other than
possibly unthrottling cfs_rq's using runtime from the previous period(s),
making the CFS bandwidth enforcement less strict in those (special)
situations.

On a 128 cores AMD machine, there are 8 cores in nohz_full mode, and
the others are used for housekeeping. When many housekeeping cpus are
in idle state, we can observe huge time burn in the loop for searching
nearest busy housekeeper cpu by ftrace.
9) | get_nohz_timer_target() {
9) | housekeeping_test_cpu() {
9) 0.390 us | housekeeping_get_mask.part.1();
9) 0.561 us | }
9) 0.090 us | __rcu_read_lock();
9) 0.090 us | housekeeping_cpumask();

9) 0.491 us | }
9) 0.100 us | __rcu_read_unlock();
9) + 76.163 us | }
for_each_cpu_and() is a micro function, so in get_nohz_timer_target()
function the
for_each_cpu_and(i, sched_domain_span(sd),
housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_TIMER))
equals to below:
for (i = -1; i = cpumask_next_and(i, sched_domain_span(sd),
housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_TIMER)), i < nr_cpu_ids;)
That will cause that housekeeping_cpumask() will be invoked many times.
The housekeeping_cpumask() function returns a const value, so it is
unnecessary to invoke it every time. This patch can minimize the worst
searching time from ~76us to ~16us in my testing.
Similarly, the find_new_ilb() function has the same problem.

The _sum and _avg values are in general sync together with the PELT
divider. They are however not always completely in perfect sync,
resulting in situations where _sum gets to zero while _avg stays
positive. Such situations are undesirable.
This comes from the fact that PELT will increase period_contrib, also
increasing the PELT divider, without updating _sum and _avg values to
stay in perfect sync where (_sum == _avg * divider). However, such PELT
change will never lower _sum, making it impossible to end up in a
situation where _sum is zero and _avg is not.
Therefore, we need to ensure that when subtracting load outside PELT,
that when _sum is zero, _avg is also set to zero. This occurs when
(_sum < _avg * divider), and the subtracted (_avg * divider) is bigger
or equal to the current _sum, while the subtracted _avg is smaller than
the current _avg.

The CFS bandwidth controller limits CPU requests of a task group to
quota during each period. However, parallel workloads might be bursty
so that they get throttled even when their average utilization is under
quota. And they are latency sensitive at the same time so that
throttling them is undesired.
We borrow time now against our future underrun, at the cost of increased
interference against the other system users. All nicely bounded.
Traditional (UP-EDF) bandwidth control is something like:
(U = \Sum u_i) <= 1
This guaranteeds both that every deadline is met and that the system is
stable. After all, if U were > 1, then for every second of walltime,
we'd have to run more than a second of program time, and obviously miss
our deadline, but the next deadline will be further out still, there is
never time to catch up, unbounded fail.
This work observes that a workload doesn't always executes the full
quota; this enables one to describe u_i as a statistical distribution.
For example, have u_i = {x,e}_i, where x is the p(95) and x+e p(100)
(the traditional WCET). This effectively allows u to be smaller,
increasing the efficiency (we can pack more tasks in the system), but at
the cost of missing deadlines when all the odds line up. However, it
does maintain stability, since every overrun must be paired with an
underrun as long as our x is above the average.
That is, suppose we have 2 tasks, both specify a p(95) value, then we
have a p(95)*p(95) = 90.25% chance both tasks are within their quota and
everything is good. At the same time we have a p(5)p(5) = 0.25% chance
both tasks will exceed their quota at the same time (guaranteed deadline
fail). Somewhere in between there's a threshold where one exceeds and
the other doesn't underrun enough to compensate; this depends on the
specific CDFs.
At the same time, we can say that the worst case deadline miss, will be
\Sum e_i; that is, there is a bounded tardiness (under the assumption
that x+e is indeed WCET).
The benefit of burst is seen when testing with schbench. Default value of
kernel.sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us(5ms) and CONFIG_HZ(1000) is used.
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cgroup.procs
echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_burst_us
./schbench -m 1 -t 3 -r 20 -c 80000 -R 10
The average CPU usage is at 80%. I run this for 10 times, and got long tail
latency for 6 times and got throttled for 8 times.
Tail latencies are shown below, and it wasn't the worst case.
Latency percentiles (usec)
50.0000th: 19872
75.0000th: 21344

The interferenece when using burst is valued by the possibilities for
missing the deadline and the average WCET. Test results showed that when
there many cgroups or CPU is under utilized, the interference is
limited. More details are shown in:

see when the CPU goes idle. To fix this, introduce a separate average
idle and age it (the existing value still makes sense for things like
new-idle balancing, which happens when we do go idle).
The overall goal is to not spend more time scanning for idle CPUs than
we're idle for. Otherwise we're inhibiting work. This means that we need to
consider the cost over all the wake-ups between consecutive idle periods.
To track this, the scan cost is subtracted from the estimated average
idle time.
The impact of this patch is related to workloads that have domains that
are fully busy or overloaded. Without the patch, the scan depth may be
too high because a CPU is not reaching idle.
Due to the nature of the patch, this is a regression magnet. It
potentially wins when domains are almost fully busy or overloaded --
at that point searches are likely to fail but idle is not being aged
as CPUs are active so search depth is too large and useless. It will
potentially show regressions when there are idle CPUs and a deep search is
beneficial. This tbench result on a 2-socket broadwell machine partially
illustates the problem

Again, higher thread counts benefit and the standard deviation
shows that results are also a lot more stable when the idle
time is aged.
The patch potentially matters when a socket was multiple LLCs as the
maximum search depth is lower. However, some of the test results were
suspiciously good (e.g. specjbb2005 gaining 50% on a Zen1 machine) and
other results were not dramatically different to other mcahines.
Given the nature of the patch, Peter's full series is not being forward
ported as each part should stand on its own. Preferably they would be
merged at different times to reduce the risk of false bisections.

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to predict the decisions made by
SchedUtil. The map_util_freq() exists to do that.
There are corner cases where the max allowed frequency might be reduced
(due to thermal). SchedUtil as a CPUFreq governor, is aware of that
but EAS is not. This patch aims to address it.
SchedUtil stores the maximum allowed frequency in
'sugov_policy::next_freq' field. EAS has to predict that value, which is
the real used frequency. That value is made after a call to
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() which clamps to the CPUFreq policy limits.
In the existing code EAS is not able to predict that real frequency.
This leads to energy estimation errors.
To avoid wrong energy estimation in EAS (due to frequency miss prediction)
make sure that the step which calculates Performance Domain frequency,
is also aware of the allowed CPU capacity.
Furthermore, modify map_util_freq() to not extend the frequency value.
Instead, use map_util_perf() to extend the util value in both places:
SchedUtil and EAS, but for EAS clamp it to max allowed CPU capacity.
In the end, we achieve the same desirable behavior for both subsystems
and alignment in regards to the real CPU frequency.

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to be able to predict the frequency
requests made by the SchedUtil governor to properly estimate energy used
in the future. It has to take into account CPUs utilization and forecast
Performance Domain (PD) frequency. There is a corner case when the max
allowed frequency might be reduced due to thermal. SchedUtil is aware of
that reduced frequency, so it should be taken into account also in EAS
estimations.
SchedUtil, as a CPUFreq governor, knows the maximum allowed frequency of
a CPU, thanks to cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() and internal clamping
to 'policy::max'. SchedUtil is responsible to respect that upper limit
while setting the frequency through CPUFreq drivers. This effective
frequency is stored internally in 'sugov_policy::next_freq' and EAS has
to predict that value.
In the existing code the raw value of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is used
for clamping the returned CPU utilization from effective_cpu_util().
This patch fixes issue with too big single CPU utilization, by introducing
clamping to the allowed CPU capacity. The allowed CPU capacity is a CPU
capacity reduced by thermal pressure raw value.
Thanks to knowledge about allowed CPU capacity, we don't get too big value
for a single CPU utilization, which is then added to the util sum. The
util sum is used as a source of information for estimating whole PD energy.
To avoid wrong energy estimation in EAS (due to capped frequency), make
sure that the calculation of util sum is aware of allowed CPU capacity.
This thermal pressure might be visible in scenarios where the CPUs are not
heavily loaded, but some other component (like GPU) drastically reduced
available power budget and increased the SoC temperature. Thus, we still
use EAS for task placement and CPUs are not over-utilized.

Fix an issue where fairness is decreased since cfs_rq's can end up not
being decayed properly. For two sibling control groups with the same
priority, this can often lead to a load ratio of 99/1 (!!).
This happens because when a cfs_rq is throttled, all the descendant
cfs_rq's will be removed from the leaf list. When they initial cfs_rq
is unthrottled, it will currently only re add descendant cfs_rq's if
they have one or more entities enqueued. This is not a perfect
heuristic.
Instead, we insert all cfs_rq's that contain one or more enqueued
entities, or it its load is not completely decayed.
Can often lead to situations like this for equally weighted control
groups:

The util_est internal UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag which is used to prevent
unnecessary util_est updates uses the LSB of util_est.enqueued. It is
exposed via _task_util_est() (and task_util_est()).
Commit 92a801e5d5 ("sched/fair: Mask UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED usages")
mentions that the LSB is lost for util_est resolution but
find_energy_efficient_cpu() checks if task_util_est() returns 0 to
return prev_cpu early.
_task_util_est() returns the max value of util_est.ewma and
util_est.enqueued or'ed w/ UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED.
So task_util_est() returning the max of task_util() and
_task_util_est() will never return 0 under the default
SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST, true).
To fix this use the MSB of util_est.enqueued instead and keep the flag
util_est internal, i.e. don't export it via _task_util_est().
The maximal possible util_avg value for a task is 1024 so the MSB of
'unsigned int util_est.enqueued' isn't used to store a util value.
As a caveat the code behind the util_est_se trace point has to filter
UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED to see the real util_est.enqueued value which should
be easy to do.
This also fixes an issue report by Xuewen Yan that util_est_update()
only used UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED for the subtrahend of the equation:
last_enqueued_diff = ue.enqueued - (task_util() | UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED)

During force-idle, we end up doing cross-cpu comparison of vruntimes
during pick_next_task. If we simply compare (vruntime-min_vruntime)
across CPUs, and if the CPUs only have 1 task each, we will always
end up comparing 0 with 0 and pick just one of the tasks all the time.
This starves the task that was not picked. To fix this, take a snapshot
of the min_vruntime when entering force idle and use it for comparison.
This min_vruntime snapshot will only be used for cross-CPU vruntime
comparison, and nothing else.
A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling:
During selection:
When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot.
when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot.
When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot.
Which gives:
fib fi update
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
Where:
fi: force-idled now
fib: force-idled before
So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi).
Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the
core is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to
know whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy.
So pass this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less().

Introduce task_struct::core_cookie as an opaque identifier for core
scheduling. When enabled; core scheduling will only allow matching
task to be on the core; where idle matches everything.
When task_struct::core_cookie is set (and core scheduling is enabled)
these tasks are indexed in a second RB-tree, first on cookie value
then on scheduling function, such that matching task selection always
finds the most elegible match.
NOTE: *shudder* at the overhead...
NOTE: *sigh*, a 3rd copy of the scheduling function; the alternative
is per class tracking of cookies and that just duplicates a lot of

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) searches the best energy CPU
to place a task on. To do so, compute_energy() estimates the energy
impact of placing the task on a CPU, based on CPU and task utilization
signals.
Utilization signals can be concurrently updated while evaluating a
performance domain (pd). In some cases, this leads to having a
'negative delta', i.e. placing the task in the pd is seen as an
energy gain. Thus, any further energy comparison is biased.
In case of a 'negative delta', return prev_cpu since:
1. a 'negative delta' happens in less than 0.5% of feec() calls,
on a Juno with 6 CPUs (4 little, 2 big)
2. it is unlikely to have two consecutive 'negative delta' for
a task, so if the first call fails, feec() will correctly
place the task in the next feec() call
3. EAS current behavior tends to select prev_cpu if the task
doesn't raise the OPP of its current pd. prev_cpu is EAS's

find_energy_efficient_cpu() searches the best energy CPU
to place a task on. To do so, the energy of each performance domain
(pd) is computed w/ and w/o the task placed on it.
The energy of a pd w/o the task (base_energy_pd) is computed prior
knowing whether a CPU is available in the pd.
Move the base_energy_pd computation after looping through the CPUs
of a pd and only compute it if at least one CPU is available.

The try_to_wake_up function has an optimization where it can queue
a task for wakeup on its previous CPU, if the task is still in the
middle of going to sleep inside schedule().
Once schedule() re-enables IRQs, the task will be woken up with an
IPI, and placed back on the runqueue.
If we have such a wakeup pending, there is no need to search other
CPUs for runnable tasks. Just skip (or bail out early from) newidle
balancing, and run the just woken up task.
For a memcache like workload test, this reduces total CPU use by
about 2%, proportionally split between user and system time,
and p99 and p95 application response time by 10% on average.
The schedstats run_delay number shows a similar improvement.

In commit:
9fe1f127b9 ("sched/fair: Merge select_idle_core/cpu()")
in select_idle_cpu(), we check if an idle core is present in the LLC
of the target CPU via the flag "has_idle_cores". We look for the idle
core in select_idle_cores(). If select_idle_cores() isn't able to find
an idle core/CPU, we need to unset the has_idle_cores flag in the LLC
of the target to prevent other CPUs from going down this route.
However, the current code is unsetting it in the LLC of the current
CPU instead of the target CPU. This patch fixes this issue.

This fixes an issue where old load on a cfs_rq is not properly decayed,
resulting in strange behavior where fairness can decrease drastically.
Real workloads with equally weighted control groups have ended up
getting a respective 99% and 1%(!!) of cpu time.
When an idle task is attached to a cfs_rq by attaching a pid to a cgroup,
the old load of the task is attached to the new cfs_rq and sched_entity by
attach_entity_cfs_rq. If the task is then moved to another cpu (and
therefore cfs_rq) before being enqueued/woken up, the load will be moved
to cfs_rq->removed from the sched_entity. Such a move will happen when
enforcing a cpuset on the task (eg. via a cgroup) that force it to move.
The load will however not be removed from the task_group itself, making
it look like there is a constant load on that cfs_rq. This causes the
vruntime of tasks on other sibling cfs_rq's to increase faster than they
are supposed to; causing severe fairness issues. If no other task is
started on the given cfs_rq, and due to the cpuset it would not happen,
this load would never be properly unloaded. With this patch the load
will be properly removed inside update_blocked_averages. This also
applies to tasks moved to the fair scheduling class and moved to another
cpu, and this path will also fix that. For fork, the entity is queued
right away, so this problem does not affect that.
This applies to cases where the new process is the first in the cfs_rq,
issue introduced 3d30544f02 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes"), and
when there has previously been load on the cgroup but the cgroup was
removed from the leaflist due to having null PELT load, indroduced
in 039ae8bcf7 ("sched/fair: Fix O(nr_cgroups) in the load balancing
path").
For a simple cgroup hierarchy (as seen below) with two equally weighted
groups, that in theory should get 50/50 of cpu time each, it often leads
to a load of 60/40 or 70/30.
parent/
cg-1/
cpu.weight: 100
cpuset.cpus: 1
cg-2/
cpu.weight: 100
cpuset.cpus: 1
If the hierarchy is deeper (as seen below), while keeping cg-1 and cg-2
equally weighted, they should still get a 50/50 balance of cpu time.
This however sometimes results in a balance of 10/90 or 1/99(!!) between
the task groups.

This can be reproduced by attaching an idle process to a cgroup and
moving it to a given cpuset before it wakes up. The issue is evident in
many (if not most) container runtimes, and has been reproduced
with both crun and runc (and therefore docker and all its "derivatives"),
and with both cgroup v1 and v2.

The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:
if ((p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) && kthread_is_per_cpu(p))
However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1 (running p)
(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) // true
begin_new_exec()
me->flags &= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
to_kthread(p)
WARN(!(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) <-- *SPLAT*
Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.
Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.
Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().

things that could be improved:
- the 'nr_running' used for __sched_period() is daft when cgroups are

consistent number.
- (esp) cgroups can slice it real fine, which makes for easy

During load-balance, groups classified as group_misfit_task are filtered
out if they do not pass
group_smaller_max_cpu_capacity(<candidate group>, <local group>);
which itself employs fits_capacity() to compare the sgc->max_capacity of
both groups.
Due to the underlying margin, fits_capacity(X, 1024) will return false for
any X > 819. Tough luck, the capacity_orig's on e.g. the Pixel 4 are
{261, 871, 1024}. If a CPU-bound task ends up on one of those "medium"
CPUs, misfit migration will never intentionally upmigrate it to a CPU of
higher capacity due to the aforementioned margin.
One may argue the 20% margin of fits_capacity() is excessive in the advent
of counter-enhanced load tracking (APERF/MPERF, AMUs), but one point here
is that fits_capacity() is meant to compare a utilization value to a
capacity value, whereas here it is being used to compare two capacity
values. As CPU capacity and task utilization have different dynamics, a
sensible approach here would be to add a new helper dedicated to comparing
CPU capacities.
Also note that comparing capacity extrema of local and source sched_group's
doesn't make much sense when at the day of the day the imbalance will be
pulled by a known env->dst_cpu, whose capacity can be anywhere within the
local group's capacity extrema.
While at it, replace group_smaller_{min, max}_cpu_capacity() with
comparisons of the source group's min/max capacity and the destination
CPU's capacity.

When triggering an active load balance, sd->nr_balance_failed is set to
such a value that any further can_migrate_task() using said sd will ignore
the output of task_hot().
This behaviour makes sense, as active load balance intentionally preempts a
rq's running task to migrate it right away, but this asynchronous write is
a bit shoddy, as the stopper thread might run active_load_balance_cpu_stop
before the sd->nr_balance_failed write either becomes visible to the
stopper's CPU or even happens on the CPU that appended the stopper work.
Add a struct lb_env flag to denote active balancing, and use it in
can_migrate_task(). Remove the sd->nr_balance_failed write that served the
same purpose. Cleanup the LBF_DST_PINNED active balance special case.

During load balance, LBF_SOME_PINNED will be set if any candidate task
cannot be detached due to CPU affinity constraints. This can result in
setting env->sd->parent->sgc->group_imbalance, which can lead to a group
being classified as group_imbalanced (rather than any of the other, lower
group_type) when balancing at a higher level.
In workloads involving a single task per CPU, LBF_SOME_PINNED can often be
set due to per-CPU kthreads being the only other runnable tasks on any
given rq. This results in changing the group classification during
load-balance at higher levels when in reality there is nothing that can be
done for this affinity constraint: per-CPU kthreads, as the name implies,
don't get to move around (modulo hotplug shenanigans).
It's not as clear for userspace tasks - a task could be in an N-CPU cpuset
with N-1 offline CPUs, making it an "accidental" per-CPU task rather than
an intended one. KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU gives us an indisputable signal which
we can leverage here to not set LBF_SOME_PINNED.
Note that the aforementioned classification to group_imbalance (when
nothing can be done) is especially problematic on big.LITTLE systems, which
have a topology the likes of:
DIE [ ]
MC [ ][ ]
0 1 2 3
L L B B
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) < arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B)
Here, setting LBF_SOME_PINNED due to a per-CPU kthread when balancing at MC
level on CPUs [0-1] will subsequently prevent CPUs [2-3] from classifying
the [0-1] group as group_misfit_task when balancing at DIE level. Thus, if
CPUs [0-1] are running CPU-bound (misfit) tasks, ill-timed per-CPU kthreads
can significantly delay the upgmigration of said misfit tasks. Systems
relying on ASYM_PACKING are likely to face similar issues.

Mel Gorman did some nice work in 9fe1f127b9 ("sched/fair: Merge
select_idle_core/cpu()"), resulting in the kernel being more efficient
at finding an idle CPU, and in tasks spending less time waiting to be
run, both according to the schedstats run_delay numbers, and according
to measured application latencies. Yay.
The flip side of this is that we see more task migrations (about 30%
more), higher cache misses, higher memory bandwidth utilization, and
higher CPU use, for the same number of requests/second.
This is most pronounced on a memcache type workload, which saw a
consistent 1-3% increase in total CPU use on the system, due to those
increased task migrations leading to higher L2 cache miss numbers, and
higher memory utilization. The exclusive L3 cache on Skylake does us
no favors there.
On our web serving workload, that effect is usually negligible.
It appears that the increased number of CPU migrations is generally a
good thing, since it leads to lower cpu_delay numbers, reflecting the
fact that tasks get to run faster. However, the reduced locality and
the corresponding increase in L2 cache misses hurts a little.
The patch below appears to fix the regression, while keeping the
benefit of the lower cpu_delay numbers, by reintroducing
select_idle_smt with a twist: when a socket has no idle cores, check
to see if the sibling of "prev" is idle, before searching all the
other CPUs.
This fixes both the occasional 9% regression on the web serving
workload, and the continuous 2% CPU use regression on the memcache
type workload.
With Mel's patches and this patch together, task migrations are still
high, but L2 cache misses, memory bandwidth, and CPU time used are
back down to what they were before. The p95 and p99 response times for
the memcache type application improve by about 10% over what they were
before Mel's patches got merged.

A long-tail load balance cost is observed on the newly idle path,
this is caused by a race window between the first nr_running check
of the busiest runqueue and its nr_running recheck in detach_tasks.
Before the busiest runqueue is locked, the tasks on the busiest
runqueue could be pulled by other CPUs and nr_running of the busiest
runqueu becomes 1 or even 0 if the running task becomes idle, this
causes detach_tasks breaks with LBF_ALL_PINNED flag set, and triggers
load_balance redo at the same sched_domain level.
In order to find the new busiest sched_group and CPU, load balance will
recompute and update the various load statistics, which eventually leads
to the long-tail load balance cost.
This patch clears LBF_ALL_PINNED flag for this race condition, and hence
reduces the long-tail cost of newly idle balance.

A significant portion of __calc_delta() time is spent in the loop
shifting a u64 by 32 bits. Use `fls` instead of iterating.
This is ~7x faster on benchmarks.
The generic `fls` implementation (`generic_fls`) is still ~4x faster

Architectures that have a better implementation will make use of it. For
example, on x86 we get an additional factor 2 in speed without dedicated
implementation.
On GCC, the asm versions of `fls` are about the same speed as the
builtin. On Clang, the versions that use fls are more than twice as
slow as the builtin. This is because the way the `fls` function is

Being called for each dequeue, util_est reduces the number of its updates
by filtering out when the EWMA signal is different from the task util_avg
by less than 1%. It is a problem for a sudden util_avg ramp-up. Due to the
decay from a previous high util_avg, EWMA might now be close enough to
the new util_avg. No update would then happen while it would leave
ue.enqueued with an out-of-date value.
Taking into consideration the two util_est members, EWMA and enqueued for
the filtering, ensures, for both, an up-to-date value.
This is for now an issue only for the trace probe that might return the
stale value. Functional-wise, it isn't a problem, as the value is always
accessed through max(enqueued, ewma).
This problem has been observed using LISA's UtilConvergence:test_means on

Syzbot reported a handful of occurrences where an sd->nr_balance_failed can
grow to much higher values than one would expect.
A successful load_balance() resets it to 0; a failed one increments
it. Once it gets to sd->cache_nice_tries + 3, this *should* trigger an
active balance, which will either set it to sd->cache_nice_tries+1 or reset
it to 0. However, in case the to-be-active-balanced task is not allowed to
run on env->dst_cpu, then the increment is done without any further
modification.
This could then be repeated ad nauseam, and would explain the absurdly high
values reported by syzbot (86, 149). VincentG noted there is value in
letting sd->cache_nice_tries grow, so the shift itself should be
fixed. That means preventing:
"""
If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal

Thus we need to cap the shift exponent to

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) computes for each perf_domain (pd) an
energy delta as follows:
feec(task)
for_each_pd
base_energy = compute_energy(task, -1, pd)
-> for_each_cpu(pd)
-> cpu_util_next(cpu, task, -1)
energy_delta = compute_energy(task, dst_cpu, pd)
-> for_each_cpu(pd)
-> cpu_util_next(cpu, task, dst_cpu)
energy_delta -= base_energy
Then it picks the best CPU as being the one that minimizes energy_delta.
cpu_util_next() estimates the CPU utilization that would happen if the
task was placed on dst_cpu as follows:
max(cpu_util + task_util, cpu_util_est + _task_util_est)
The task contribution to the energy delta can then be either:
(1) _task_util_est, on a mostly idle CPU, where cpu_util is close to 0
and _task_util_est > cpu_util.
(2) task_util, on a mostly busy CPU, where cpu_util > _task_util_est.
(cpu_util_est doesn't appear here. It is 0 when a CPU is idle and
otherwise must be small enough so that feec() takes the CPU as a
potential target for the task placement)
This is problematic for feec(), as cpu_util_next() might give an unfair
advantage to a CPU which is mostly busy (2) compared to one which is
mostly idle (1). _task_util_est being always bigger than task_util in
feec() (as the task is waking up), the task contribution to the energy
might look smaller on certain CPUs (2) and this breaks the energy
comparison.
This issue is, moreover, not sporadic. By starving idle CPUs, it keeps
their cpu_util < _task_util_est (1) while others will maintain cpu_util >
_task_util_est (2).
Fix this problem by always using max(task_util, _task_util_est) as a task
contribution to the energy (ENERGY_UTIL). The new estimated CPU
utilization for the energy would then be:
max(cpu_util, cpu_util_est) + max(task_util, _task_util_est)
compute_energy() still needs to know which OPP would be selected if the
task would be migrated in the perf_domain (FREQUENCY_UTIL). Hence,
cpu_util_next() is still used to estimate the maximum util within the pd.

If the task is pinned to a cpu, setting the misfit status means that
we'll unnecessarily continuously attempt to migrate the task but fail.
This continuous failure will cause the balance_interval to increase to
a high value, and eventually cause unnecessary significant delays in
balancing the system when real imbalance happens.
Caught while testing uclamp where rt-app calibration loop was pinned to
cpu 0, shortly after which we spawn another task with high util_clamp
value. The task was failing to migrate after over 40ms of runtime due to
balance_interval unnecessary expanded to a very high value from the
calibration loop.
Not done here, but it could be useful to extend the check for pinning to
verify that the affinity of the task has a cpu that fits. We could end
up in a similar situation otherwise.

Active balance is triggered for a number of voluntary cases like misfit
or pinned tasks cases but also after that a number of load balance
attempts failed to migrate a task. There is no need to use active load
balance when the group is overloaded because an overloaded state means
that there is at least one waiting task. Nevertheless, the waiting task
is not selected and detached until the threshold becomes higher than its
load. This threshold increases with the number of failed lb (see the
condition if ((load >> env->sd->nr_balance_failed) > env->imbalance) in
detach_tasks()) and the waiting task will end up to be selected after a

SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised to trigger periodic load balancing. When CPU is not
active, CPU should not participate in load balancing.
The scheduler uses nohz.idle_cpus_mask to keep track of the CPUs which can
do idle load balancing. When bringing a CPU up the CPU is added to the mask
when it reaches the active state, but on teardown the CPU stays in the mask
until it goes offline and invokes sched_cpu_dying().
When SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised on a !active CPU, there might be a pending
softirq when stopping the tick which triggers a warning in NOHZ code. The
SCHED_SOFTIRQ can also be raised by the scheduler tick which has the same
issue.
Therefore remove the CPU from nohz.idle_cpus_mask when it is marked
inactive and also prevent the scheduler_tick() from raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ

At fork time currently, a local node can be allowed to fill completely
and allow the periodic load balancer to fix the problem. This can be
problematic in cases where a task creates lots of threads that idle until
woken as part of a worker poll causing a memory bandwidth problem.
However, a "real" workload suffers badly from this behaviour. The workload
in question is mostly NUMA aware but spawns large numbers of threads
that act as a worker pool that can be called from anywhere. These need
to spread early to get reasonable behaviour.
This patch limits how much a local node can fill before spilling over
to another node and it will not be a universal win. Specifically,
very short-lived workloads that fit within a NUMA node would prefer
the memory bandwidth.
As I cannot describe the "real" workload, the best proxy measure I found
for illustration was a page fault microbenchmark. It's not representative
of the workload but demonstrates the hazard of the current behaviour.

This is showing the time to fault regions belonging to threads. The target
machine has 80 logical CPUs and two nodes. Note the ~30% gain when the
machine is approximately the point where one node becomes fully utilised.
The slower results are borderline noise.
Kernel building shows similar benefits around the same balance point.
Generally performance was either neutral or better in the tests conducted.
The main consideration with this patch is the point where fork stops
spreading a task so some workloads may benefit from different balance
points but it would be a risky tuning parameter.

Currently, an imbalance is only allowed when a destination node
is almost completely idle. This solved one basic class of problems
and was the cautious approach.
This patch revisits the possibility that NUMA nodes can be imbalanced
until 25% of the CPUs are occupied. The reasoning behind 25% is somewhat
superficial -- it's half the cores when HT is enabled. At higher
utilisations, balancing should continue as normal and keep things even
until scheduler domains are fully busy or over utilised.
Note that this is not expected to be a universal win. Any benchmark
that prefers spreading as wide as possible with limited communication
will favour the old behaviour as there is more memory bandwidth.
Workloads that communicate heavily in pairs such as netperf or tbench
benefit. For the tests I ran, the vast majority of workloads saw
a benefit so it seems to be a worthwhile trade-off.

During fast wakeup path, scheduler always check whether local or prev
cpus are good candidates for the task before looking for other cpus in
the domain. With commit b7a331615d ("sched/fair: Add asymmetric CPU
capacity wakeup scan") the heterogenous system gains a dedicated path
but doesn't try to reuse prev cpu whenever possible. If the previous
cpu is idle and belong to the LLC domain, we should check it 1st
before looking for another cpu because it stays one of the best
candidate and this also stabilizes task placement on the system.
This change aligns asymmetric path behavior with symmetric one and reduces
cases where the task migrates across all cpus of the sd_asym_cpucapacity
domains at wakeup.
This change does not impact normal EAS mode but only the overloaded case or
when EAS is not used.

In the case of a thread wakeup, wake_affine determines whether a core
will be chosen for the thread on the socket where the thread ran
previously or on the socket of the waker. This is done primarily by
comparing the load of the core where th thread ran previously (prev)
and the load of the waker (this).
commit 11f10e5420 ("sched/fair: Use load instead of runnable load
in wakeup path") changed the load computation from the runnable load
to the load average, where the latter includes the load of threads
that have already blocked on the core.
When a short-running daemon processes happens to run on prev, this
change raised the situation that prev could appear to have a greater
load than this, even when prev is actually idle. When prev and this
are on the same socket, the idle prev is detected later, in
select_idle_sibling. But if that does not hold, prev is completely
ignored, causing the waking thread to move to the socket of the waker.
In the case of N mostly active threads on N cores, this triggers other
migrations and hurts performance.
In contrast, before commit 11f10e5420, the load on an idle core
was 0, and in the case of a non-idle waker core, the effect of
wake_affine was to select prev as the target for searching for a core
for the waking thread.
To avoid unnecessary migrations, extend wake_affine_idle to check
whether the core where the thread previously ran is currently idle,
and if so simply return that core as the target.
[1] commit 11f10e5420 ("sched/fair: Use load instead of runnable
load in wakeup path")
This particularly has an impact when using the ondemand power manager,
where kworkers run every 0.004 seconds on all cores, increasing the
likelihood that an idle core will be considered to have a load.

requirement on the type instead of on a variable. Type alignment is a
minimum, the compiler is free to pick any larger alignment for a

So force the type alignment on all individual variable definitions and

backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.
Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification

- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the

Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the

sched domains tend to trigger simultaneously the load balance loop but
the larger domains often need more time to collect statistics. This
slowness makes the larger domain trying to detach tasks from a rq whereas
tasks already migrated somewhere else at a sub-domain level. This is not
a real problem for idle LB because the period of smaller domains will
increase with its CPUs being busy and this will let time for higher ones
to pulled tasks. But this becomes a problem when all CPUs are already busy
because all domains stay synced when they trigger their LB.
A simple way to minimize simultaneous LB of all domains is to decrement the
the busy interval by 1 jiffies. Because of the busy_factor, the interval of
larger domain will not be a multiple of smaller ones anymore.

Some UCs like 9 always running tasks on 8 CPUs can't be balanced and the
load balancer currently migrates the waiting task between the CPUs in an
almost random manner. The success of a rq pulling a task depends of the
value of nr_balance_failed of its domains and its ability to be faster
than others to detach it. This behavior results in an unfair distribution
of the running time between tasks because some CPUs will run most of the
time, if not always, the same task whereas others will share their time
between several tasks.
Instead of using nr_balance_failed as a boolean to relax the condition
for detaching task, the LB will use nr_balanced_failed to relax the
threshold between the tasks'load and the imbalance. This mecanism
prevents the same rq or domain to always win the load balance fight.

were migrated to our isolated cpus in production environment.
After some analysis, we found that it is due to the current
select_idle_smt() not considering the sched_domain mask.
Steps to reproduce on my 31-CPU hyperthreads machine:
1. with boot parameter: "isolcpus=domain,2-31"
(thread lists: 0,16 and 1,17)
2. cgcreate -g cpu:test; cgexec -g cpu:test "test_threads"
3. some threads will be migrated to the isolated cpu16~17.
Fix it by checking the valid domain mask in select_idle_smt().

The code in reweight_entity() can be simplified.
For a sched entity on the rq, the entity accounting can be replaced by
cfs_rq instantaneous load updates currently called from within the
entity accounting.
Even though an entity on the rq can't represent a task in
reweight_entity() (a task is always dequeued before calling this
function) and so the numa task accounting and the rq->cfs_tasks list
management of the entity accounting are never called, the redundant
cfs_rq->nr_running decrement/increment will be avoided.

In find_energy_efficient_cpu() 'cpu_cap' could be less that 'util'.
It might be because of RT, DL (so higher sched class than CFS), irq or
thermal pressure signal, which reduce the capacity value.
In such situation the result of 'cpu_cap - util' might be negative but
stored in the unsigned long. Then it might be compared with other unsigned
long when uclamp_rq_util_with() reduced the 'util' such that is passes the
fits_capacity() check.
Prevent this situation and make the arithmetic more safe.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The most significant change here is the extension of the Energy Model
to cover non-CPU devices (as well as CPUs) from Lukasz Luba.
There is also some new hardware support (Ice Lake server idle states
table for intel_idle, Sapphire Rapids and Power Limit 4 support in the
RAPL driver), some new functionality in the existing drivers (eg. a
new switch to disable/enable CPU energy-efficiency optimizations in
intel_pstate, delayed timers in devfreq), some assorted fixes (cpufreq
core, intel_pstate, intel_idle) and cleanups (eg. cpuidle-psci,
devfreq), including the elimination of W=1 build warnings from cpufreq

In slow path, when selecting idlest group, if both groups have type
group_has_spare, only idle_cpus count gets compared.
As a result, if multiple tasks are created in a tight loop,
and go back to sleep immediately
(while waiting for all tasks to be created),
they may be scheduled on the same core, because CPU is back to idle
when the new fork happen.
For example:
sudo perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -- \
sysbench threads --threads=4 run
...
total number of events: 61582
...
sudo perf script
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.633466: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129380 [120] success=1 CPU:007
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.634718: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129381 [120] success=1 CPU:007
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.635957: sched:sched_wakeup_new:

sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.637183: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129383 [120] success=1 CPU:007
This may have negative impact on performance for workloads with frequent
creation of multiple threads.
In this patch we are using group_util to select idlest group if both groups
have equal number of idle_cpus. Comparing the number of idle cpu is
not enough in this case, because the newly forked thread sleeps
immediately and before we select the cpu for the next one.
This is shown in the trace where the same CPU7 is selected for
all wakeup_new events.
That's why, looking at utilization when there is the same number of
CPU is a good way to see where the previous task was placed. Using
nr_running doesn't solve the problem because the newly forked task is not
running and the cpu would not have been idle in this case and an idle
CPU would have been selected instead.
With this patch newly created tasks would be better distributed.
With this patch:
sudo perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -- \
sysbench threads --threads=4 run
...
total number of events: 74401
...
sudo perf script

task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng
mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores
system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because
env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after
reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of
the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1.
misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such
situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem
because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous
system.
We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it
would imply to handle underflow in other places.

Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks
->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and
provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the
form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external
kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including
the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at:
https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git
A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be

The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which
are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in

is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.

Some performance regression on reaim benchmark have been raised with
commit 070f5e860e ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group")
The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized
with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally
a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and
tasks are pulled less agressively.
Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there
is no waiting time so far.

When encountering throttled cfs_rq, dequeue_throttle label can ensure
se not to be NULL, and rq->nr_running remains unchanged, so we can also

got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will
return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not

The change in kick_ilb() got this wrong.
While on first reading kick_ilb() has an atomic test-and-set that
appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in the
right place to actually guarantee this serialization.
Rework the nohz_idle_balance() trigger so that the release is in the

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The recent patch, fe61468b2c (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning)

&rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where
the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely
updated the list. In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can
further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do
what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out
of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was
already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy.
Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents
while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.

Move all the non-trivial stuff out of it and into a regular smp function

Aside of that avoiding the full irq_enter() in the x86 IPI implementation
is incorrect as scheduler_ipi() can be instrumented. To work around that

The SD_LOAD_BALANCE flag is set unconditionally for all domains in
sd_init(). By making the sched_domain->flags syctl interface read-only, we
have removed the last piece of code that could clear that flag - as such,
it will now be always present. Rather than to keep carrying it along, we
can work towards getting rid of it entirely.
cpusets don't need it because they can make CPUs be attached to the NULL
domain (e.g. cpuset with sched_load_balance=0), or to a partitioned
root_domain, i.e. a sched_domain hierarchy that doesn't span the entire
system (e.g. root cpuset with sched_load_balance=0 and sibling cpusets with
sched_load_balance=1).
isolcpus apply the same "trick": isolated CPUs are explicitly taken out of
the sched_domain rebuild (using housekeeping_cpumask()), so they get the
NULL domain treatment as well.

This is mostly a revert of commit:
baa9be4ffb ("sched/fair: Fix throttle_list starvation with low CFS quota")
The primary use of distribute_running was to determine whether to add
throttled entities to the head or the tail of the throttled list. Now
that we always add to the tail, we can remove this field.
The other use of distribute_running is in the slack_timer, so that we
don't start a distribution while one is already running. However, even
in the event that this race occurs, it is fine to have two distributions
running (especially now that distribute grabs the cfs_b->lock to
determine remaining quota before assigning).

There is a race window in which an entity begins throttling before quota
is added to the pool, but does not finish throttling until after we have
finished with distribute_cfs_runtime(). This entity is not observed by
distribute_cfs_runtime() because it was not on the throttled list at the
time that distribution was running. This race manifests as rare
period-length statlls for such entities.
Rather than heavy-weight the synchronization with the progress of
distribution, we can fix this by aborting throttling if bandwidth has
become available. Otherwise, we immediately add the entity to the
throttled list so that it can be observed by a subsequent distribution.
Additionally, we can remove the case of adding the throttled entity to
the head of the throttled list, and simply always add to the tail.
Thanks to 26a8b12747, distribute_cfs_runtime() no longer holds onto
its own pool of runtime. This means that if we do hit the !assign and
distribute_running case, we know that distribution is about to end.

Currently, there is a potential race between distribute_cfs_runtime()
and assign_cfs_rq_runtime(). Race happens when cfs_b->runtime is read,
distributes without holding lock and finds out there is not enough
runtime to charge against after distribution. Because
assign_cfs_rq_runtime() might be called during distribution, and use
cfs_b->runtime at the same time.
Fibtest is the tool to test this race. Assume all gcfs_rq is throttled
and cfs period timer runs, slow threads might run and sleep, returning
unused cfs_rq runtime and keeping min_cfs_rq_runtime in their local
pool. If all this happens sufficiently quickly, cfs_b->runtime will drop
a lot. If runtime distributed is large too, over-use of runtime happens.
A runtime over-using by about 70 percent of quota is seen when we
test fibtest on a 96-core machine. We run fibtest with 1 fast thread and
95 slow threads in test group, configure 10ms quota for this group and
see the CPU usage of fibtest is 17.0%, which is far more than the
expected 10%.
On a smaller machine with 32 cores, we also run fibtest with 96
threads. CPU usage is more than 12%, which is also more than expected
10%. This shows that on similar workloads, this race do affect CPU
bandwidth control.
Solve this by holding lock inside distribute_cfs_runtime().

sched/core.c uses update_avg() for rq->avg_idle and sched/fair.c uses an
open-coded version (with the exact same decay factor) for
rq->avg_scan_cost. On top of that, select_idle_cpu() expects to be able to
compare these two fields.
The only difference between the two is that rq->avg_scan_cost is computed
using a pure division rather than a shift. Turns out it actually matters,
first of all because the shifted value can be negative, and the standard
has this to say about it:
"""
The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. [...] If E1
has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is
implementation-defined.
"""
Not only this, but (arithmetic) right shifting a negative value (using 2's
complement) is *not* equivalent to dividing it by the corresponding power
of 2. Let's look at a few examples:

Make update_avg() use a division, and export it to the private scheduler
header to reuse it where relevant. Note that this still lets compilers use
a shift here, but should prevent any unwanted surprise. The disassembly of
select_idle_cpu() remains unchanged on arm64, and ttwu_do_wakeup() gains 2
instructions; the diff sort of looks like this:
- sub x1, x1, x0
+ subs x1, x1, x0 // set condition codes
+ add x0, x1, #0x7
+ csel x0, x0, x1, mi // x0 = x1 < 0 ? x0 : x1
add x0, x3, x0, asr #3
which does the right thing (i.e. gives us the expected result while still
using an arithmetic shift)

In update_sg_wakeup_stats(), the comment says:
Computing avg_load makes sense only when group is fully
busy or overloaded.
But, the code below this comment does not check like this.
From reading the code about avg_load in other functions, I
confirm that avg_load should be calculated in fully busy or
overloaded case. The comment is correct and the checking
condition is wrong. So, change that condition.

Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Message-ID:
During load_balancing, a group with spare capacity will try to pull some
utilizations from an overloaded group. In such case, the load balance
looks for the runqueue with the highest utilization. Nevertheless, it
should also ensure that there are some pending tasks to pull otherwise
the load balance will fail to pull a task and the spread of the load will
be delayed.
This situation is quite transient but it's possible to highlight the
effect with a short run of sysbench test so the time to spread task impacts
the global result significantly.
Below are the average results for 15 iterations on an arm64 octo core:
sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --max-requests=1000 run
tip/sched/core +patchset
total time: 172ms 158ms
per-request statistics:
avg: 1.337ms 1.244ms
max: 21.191ms 10.753ms
The average max doesn't fully reflect the wide spread of the value which
ranges from 1.350ms to more than 41ms for the tip/sched/core and from
1.350ms to 21ms with the patch.
Other factors like waiting for an idle load balance or cache hotness
can delay the spreading of the tasks which explains why we can still
have up to 21ms with the patch.

When a cfs rq is throttled, the latter and its child are removed from the
leaf list but their nr_running is not changed which includes staying higher
than 1. When a task is enqueued in this throttled branch, the cfs rqs must
be added back in order to ensure correct ordering in the list but this can
only happens if nr_running == 1.
When cfs bandwidth is used, we call unconditionnaly list_add_leaf_cfs_rq()
when enqueuing an entity to make sure that the complete branch will be
added.
Similarly unthrottle_cfs_rq() can stop adding cfs in the list when a parent
is throttled. Iterate the remaining entity to ensure that the complete
branch will be added in the list.

Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still
be enqueued and its gse->on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such
child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase
h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st
for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse->on_rq == true and the
2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both
load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case.
The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before
breaking in the 1st loop.
Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order
to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop
early because the clock stays unchanged.

Thermal pressure follows pelt signals which means the decay period for
thermal pressure is the default pelt decay period. Depending on SoC
characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay
thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals. One way
to achieve this is to provide a command line parameter to set a decay
shift parameter to an integer between 0 and 10.

o A swap candidate is found that would move to its preferred domain

Multiple tasks can attempt to select and idle CPU but fail because
numa_migrate_on is already set and the migration fails. Instead of failing,
scan for an alternative idle CPU. select_idle_sibling is not used because
it requires IRQs to be disabled and it ignores numa_migrate_on allowing
multiple tasks to stack. This scan may still fail if there are idle
candidate CPUs due to races but if this occurs, it's best that a task
stay on an available CPU that move to a contended one.

task_numa_find_cpu() can scan a node multiple times. Minimally it scans to
gather statistics and later to find a suitable target. In some cases, the
second scan will simply pick an idle CPU if the load is not imbalanced.
This patch caches information on an idle core while gathering statistics
and uses it immediately if load is not imbalanced to avoid a second scan
of the node runqueues. Preference is given to an idle core rather than an
idle SMT sibling to avoid packing HT siblings due to linearly scanning the
node cpumask.
As a side-effect, even when the second scan is necessary, the importance
of using select_idle_sibling is much reduced because information on idle
CPUs is cached and can be reused.
Note that this patch actually makes is harder to move to an idle CPU
as multiple tasks can race for the same idle CPU due to a race checking
numa_migrate_on. This is addressed in the next patch.

Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new
signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal
track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the
state of rqs.
At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq:
A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is
considered as overloaded.
But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task
migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq.
When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be
higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use
this signal to better classify cfs_rqs.
The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply
adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq
will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity
will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.

The standard load balancer generally tries to keep the number of running
tasks or idle CPUs balanced between NUMA domains. The NUMA balancer allows
tasks to move if there is spare capacity but this causes a conflict and
utilisation between NUMA nodes gets badly skewed. This patch uses similar

Change the code ordering such that everything related to a cfs_rq

In addition, the same steps ordering is used when updating a cfs_rq:
- update_load_avg
- update_cfs_group
- update *h_nr_running
This reordering enables the use of h_nr_running in PELT algorithm.

Issue
=====
On asymmetric CPU capacity topologies, we currently rely on wake_cap() to
drive select_task_rq_fair() towards either:
- its slow-path (find_idlest_cpu()) if either the previous or
current (waking) CPU has too little capacity for the waking task
- its fast-path (select_idle_sibling()) otherwise
Commit:
3273163c67 ("sched/fair: Let asymmetric CPU configurations balance at wake-up")
points out that this relies on the assumption that "[...]the CPU capacities
within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous".
This assumption no longer holds on newer generations of big.LITTLE
systems (DynamIQ), which can accommodate CPUs of different compute capacity
within a single LLC domain. To hopefully paint a better picture, a regular
big.LITTLE topology would look like this:
+---------+ +---------+
| L2 | | L2 |
+----+----+ +----+----+
|CPU0|CPU1| |CPU2|CPU3|
+----+----+ +----+----+
^^^ ^^^
LITTLEs bigs
which would result in the following scheduler topology:
DIE [ ] <- sd_asym_cpucapacity
MC [ ] [ ] <- sd_llc
0 1 2 3
Conversely, a DynamIQ topology could look like:
+-------------------+
| L3 |
+----+----+----+----+
| L2 | L2 | L2 | L2 |
+----+----+----+----+
|CPU0|CPU1|CPU2|CPU3|
+----+----+----+----+
^^^^^ ^^^^^
LITTLEs bigs
which would result in the following scheduler topology:
MC [ ] <- sd_llc, sd_asym_cpucapacity
0 1 2 3
What this means is that, on DynamIQ systems, we could pass the wake_cap()
test (IOW presume the waking task fits on the CPU capacities of some LLC
domain), thus go through select_idle_sibling().
This function operates on an LLC domain, which here spans both bigs and
LITTLEs, so it could very well pick a CPU of too small capacity for the
task, despite there being fitting idle CPUs - it very much depends on the
CPU iteration order, on which we have absolutely no guarantees
capacity-wise.
Implementation
==============
Introduce yet another select_idle_sibling() helper function that takes CPU
capacity into account. The policy is to pick the first idle CPU which is
big enough for the task (task_util * margin < cpu_capacity). If no
idle CPU is big enough, we pick the idle one with the highest capacity.
Unlike other select_idle_sibling() helpers, this one operates on the
sd_asym_cpucapacity sched_domain pointer, which is guaranteed to span all
known CPU capacities in the system. As such, this will work for both
"legacy" big.LITTLE (LITTLEs & bigs split at MC, joined at DIE) and for
newer DynamIQ systems (e.g. LITTLEs and bigs in the same MC domain).
Note that this limits the scope of select_idle_sibling() to
select_idle_capacity() for asymmetric CPU capacity systems - the LLC domain
will not be scanned, and no further heuristic will be applied.

The following XFS commit:
8ab39f11d9 ("xfs: prevent CIL push holdoff in log recovery")
changed the logic from using bound workqueues to using unbound
workqueues. Functionally this makes sense but it was observed at the
time that the dbench performance dropped quite a lot and CPU migrations
were increased.
The current pattern of the task migration is straight-forward. With XFS,
an IO issuer delegates work to xlog_cil_push_work ()on an unbound kworker.
This runs on a nearby CPU and on completion, dbench wakes up on its old CPU
as it is still idle and no migration occurs. dbench then queues the real
IO on the blk_mq_requeue_work() work item which runs on a bound kworker
which is forced to run on the same CPU as dbench. When IO completes,
the bound kworker wakes dbench but as the kworker is a bound but,
real task, the CPU is not considered idle and dbench gets migrated by
select_idle_sibling() to a new CPU. dbench may ping-pong between two CPUs
for a while but ultimately it starts a round-robin of all CPUs sharing
the same LLC. High-frequency migration on each IO completion has poor
performance overall. It has negative implications both in commication
costs and power management. mpstat confirmed that at low thread counts
that all CPUs sharing an LLC has low level of activity.
Note that even if the CIL patch was reverted, there still would
be migrations but the impact is less noticeable. It turns out that
individually the scheduler, XFS, blk-mq and workqueues all made sensible
decisions but in combination, the overall effect was sub-optimal.
This patch special cases the IO issue/completion pattern and allows
a bound kworker waker and a task wakee to stack on the same CPU if
there is a strong chance they are directly related. The expectation
is that the kworker is likely going back to sleep shortly. This is not
guaranteed as the IO could be queued asynchronously but there is a very
strong relationship between the task and kworker in this case that would
justify stacking on the same CPU instead of migrating. There should be
few concerns about kworker starvation given that the special casing is
only when the kworker is the waker.

Dbench has been modified to report the time to complete a single "load
file". This is a more meaningful metric for dbench that a throughput
metric as the benchmark makes many different system calls that are not
throughput-related
Patch shows a 9.23% and 48.53% reduction in the time to process a load
file with the difference partially explained by the number of CPUs sharing
a LLC. In a separate run, task migrations were almost eliminated by the
patch for low client counts. In case people have issue with the metric
used for the benchmark, this is a comparison of the throughputs as
reported by dbench on the NUMA machine.

The CPU load balancer balances between different domains to spread load
and strives to have equal balance everywhere. Communicating tasks can
migrate so they are topologically close to each other but these decisions
are independent. On a lightly loaded NUMA machine, two communicating tasks
pulled together at wakeup time can be pushed apart by the load balancer.
In isolation, the load balancer decision is fine but it ignores the tasks
data locality and the wakeup/LB paths continually conflict. NUMA balancing
is also a factor but it also simply conflicts with the load balancer.
This patch allows a fixed degree of imbalance of two tasks to exist
between NUMA domains regardless of utilisation levels. In many cases,
this prevents communicating tasks being pulled apart. It was evaluated
whether the imbalance should be scaled to the domain size. However, no
additional benefit was measured across a range of workloads and machines
and scaling adds the risk that lower domains have to be rebalanced. While
this could change again in the future, such a change should specify the
use case and benefit.
The most obvious impact is on netperf TCP_STREAM -- two simple
communicating tasks with some softirq offload depending on the
transmission rate.

In this case, there was a sizable improvement to performance and
a general reduction in variance. However, this is not univeral.
For most machines, the impact was roughly a 3% performance gain.

Ops NUMA hint local percent 52.18 99.30
Ops NUMA pages migrated 4244.00 1.00
Without the patch, only 52.18% of sampled accesses are local. In an
earlier changelog, 100% of sampled accesses are local and indeed on
most machines, this was still the case. In this specific case, the
local sampled rates was 99.3% but note the "base-page range updates"
and "PTE updates". The activity with the patch is negligible as were
the number of faults. The small number of pages migrated were related to
shared libraries. A 2-socket Broadwell showed better results on average
but are not presented for brevity as the performance was similar except
it showed 100% of the sampled NUMA hints were local. The patch holds up
for a 4-socket Haswell, an AMD EPYC and AMD Epyc 2 machine.
For dbench, the impact depends on the filesystem used and the number of
clients. On XFS, there is little difference as the clients typically
communicate with workqueues which have a separate class of scheduler
problem at the moment. For ext4, performance is generally better,
particularly for small numbers of clients as NUMA balancing activity is
negligible with the patch applied.
A more interesting example is the Facebook schbench which uses a
number of messaging threads to communicate with worker threads. In this
configuration, one messaging thread is used per NUMA node and the number of
worker threads is varied. The 50, 75, 90, 95, 99, 99.5 and 99.9 percentiles
for response latency is then reported.

For higher worker threads, the differences become negligible but it's
interesting to note the difference in wakeup latency at low utilisation
and mpstat confirms that activity was almost all on one node until
the number of worker threads increase.
Hackbench generally showed neutral results across a range of machines.
This is different to earlier versions of the patch which allowed imbalances
for higher degrees of utilisation. perf bench pipe showed negligible
differences in overall performance as the differences are very close to
the noise.
An earlier prototype of the patch showed major regressions for NAS C-class
when running with only half of the available CPUs -- 20-30% performance
hits were measured at the time. With this version of the patch, the impact
is negligible with small gains/losses within the noise measured. This is
because the number of threads far exceeds the small imbalance the aptch
cares about. Similarly, there were report of regressions for the autonuma
benchmark against earlier versions but again, normal load balancing now
applies for that workload.
In general, the patch simply seeks to avoid unnecessary cross-node
migrations in the basic case where imbalances are very small. For low
utilisation communicating workloads, this patch generally behaves better
with less NUMA balancing activity. For high utilisation, there is no
change in behaviour.

With commit
bef69dd878 ("sched/cpufreq: Move the cfs_rq_util_change() call to cpufreq_update_util()")
update_load_avg() has become the central point for calling cpufreq
(not including the update of blocked load). This change helps to
simplify further the number of calls to cpufreq_update_util() and to
remove last redundant ones. With update_load_avg(), we are now sure
that cpufreq_update_util() will be called after every task attachment
to a cfs_rq and especially after propagating this event down to the
util_avg of the root cfs_rq, which is the level that is used by
cpufreq governors like schedutil to set the frequency of a CPU.
The SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION flag forces an early call to cpufreq when
the migration happens in a cgroup whereas util_avg of root cfs_rq is
not yet updated and this call is duplicated with the one that happens
immediately after when the migration event reaches the root cfs_rq.
The dedicated flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION is now useless and can be
removed. The interface of attach_entity_load_avg() can also be
simplified accordingly.

commit e3d6d0cb66 ("sched/fair: Add sched_group per-CPU max capacity")

In the SD_OVERLAP case, the local variable 'capacity' represents the sum
of CPU capacity of all CPUs in the first sched group (sg) of the sched
domain (sd).
It is erroneously used to calculate sg's min and max CPU capacity.
To fix this use capacity_of(cpu) instead of 'capacity'.
The code which achieves this via cpu_rq(cpu)->sd->groups->sgc->capacity
(for rq->sd != NULL) can be removed since it delivers the same value as
capacity_of(cpu) which is currently only used for the (!rq->sd) case
(see update_cpu_capacity()).
An sg of the lowest sd (rq->sd or sd->child == NULL) represents a single
CPU (and hence sg->sgc->capacity == capacity_of(cpu)).

The fair scheduler performs periodic load balance on every CPU to check
if it can pull some tasks from other busy CPUs. The duration of this
periodic load balance is set to sd->balance_interval for the idle CPUs
and is calculated by multiplying the sd->balance_interval with the
sd->busy_factor (set to 32 by default) for the busy CPUs. The
multiplication is done for busy CPUs to avoid doing load balance too
often and rather spend more time executing actual task. While that is
the right thing to do for the CPUs busy with SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH
tasks, it may not be the optimal thing for CPUs running only SCHED_IDLE
tasks.
With the recent enhancements in the fair scheduler around SCHED_IDLE
CPUs, we now prefer to enqueue a newly-woken task to a SCHED_IDLE
CPU instead of other busy or idle CPUs. The same reasoning should be
applied to the load balancer as well to make it migrate tasks more
aggressively to a SCHED_IDLE CPU, as that will reduce the scheduling
latency of the migrated (SCHED_OTHER) tasks.
This patch makes minimal changes to the fair scheduler to do the next
load balance soon after the last non SCHED_IDLE task is dequeued from a
runqueue, i.e. making the CPU SCHED_IDLE. Also the sd->busy_factor is
ignored while calculating the balance_interval for such CPUs. This is
done to avoid delaying the periodic load balance by few hundred
milliseconds for SCHED_IDLE CPUs.
This is tested on ARM64 Hikey620 platform (octa-core) with the help of
rt-app and it is verified, using kernel traces, that the newly
SCHED_IDLE CPU does load balancing shortly after it becomes SCHED_IDLE
and pulls tasks from other busy CPUs.

Similarly to calculate_imbalance() and find_busiest_group(), using the
number of idle CPUs when there is only 1 CPU in the group is not efficient
because we can't make a difference between a CPU running 1 task and a CPU
running dozens of small tasks competing for the same CPU but not enough
to overload it. More generally speaking, we should use the number of
running tasks when there is the same number of idle CPUs in a group instead
of blindly select the 1st one.
When the groups have spare capacity and the same number of idle CPUs, we
compare the number of running tasks to select the busiest group.

task_fits_capacity() has just been made uclamp-aware, and
find_energy_efficient_cpu() needs to go through the same treatment.
Things are somewhat different here however - using the task max clamp isn't
sufficient. Consider the following setup:
The target runqueue, rq:
rq.cpu_capacity_orig = 512
rq.cfs.avg.util_avg = 200
rq.uclamp.max = 768 // the max p.uclamp.max of all enqueued p's is 768
The waking task, p (not yet enqueued on rq):
p.util_est = 600
p.uclamp.max = 100
Now, consider the following code which doesn't use the rq clamps:
util = uclamp_task_util(p);
// Does the task fit in the spare CPU capacity?
cpu = cpu_of(rq);
fits_capacity(util, cpu_capacity(cpu) - cpu_util(cpu))
This would lead to:
util = 100;
fits_capacity(100, 512 - 200)
fits_capacity() would return true. However, enqueuing p on that CPU *will*
cause it to become overutilized since rq clamp values are max-aggregated,
so we'd remain with
rq.uclamp.max = 768
which comes from the other tasks already enqueued on rq. Thus, we could
select a high enough frequency to reach beyond 0.8 * 512 utilization
(== overutilized) after enqueuing p on rq. What find_energy_efficient_cpu()
needs here is uclamp_rq_util_with() which lets us peek at the future
utilization landscape, including rq-wide uclamp values.
Make find_energy_efficient_cpu() use uclamp_rq_util_with() for its
fits_capacity() check. This is in line with what compute_energy() ends up
using for estimating utilization.

task_fits_capacity() drives CPU selection at wakeup time, and is also used
to detect misfit tasks. Right now it does so by comparing task_util_est()
with a CPU's capacity, but doesn't take into account uclamp restrictions.
There's a few interesting uses that can come out of doing this. For
instance, a low uclamp.max value could prevent certain tasks from being
flagged as misfit tasks, so they could merrily remain on low-capacity CPUs.
Similarly, a high uclamp.min value would steer tasks towards high capacity
CPUs at wakeup (and, should that fail, later steered via misfit balancing),
so such "boosted" tasks would favor CPUs of higher capacity.
Introduce uclamp_task_util() and make task_fits_capacity() use it.

There are instances where we keep searching for an idle CPU despite
already having a sched-idle CPU (in find_idlest_group_cpu(),
select_idle_smt() and select_idle_cpu() and then there are places where
we don't necessarily do that and return a sched-idle CPU as soon as we
find one (in select_idle_sibling()). This looks a bit inconsistent and
it may be worth having the same policy everywhere.
On the other hand, choosing a sched-idle CPU over a idle one shall be
beneficial from performance and power point of view as well, as we don't
need to get the CPU online from a deep idle state which wastes quite a
lot of time and energy and delays the scheduling of the newly woken up
task.
This patch tries to simplify code around sched-idle CPU selection and
make it consistent throughout.
Testing is done with the help of rt-app on hikey board (ARM64 octa-core,
2 clusters, 0-3 and 4-7). The cpufreq governor was set to performance to
avoid any side affects from CPU frequency. Following are the tests
performed:
Test 1: 1-cfs-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned to CPU5 which runs for 2333 us
out of 7777 us (so gives time for the cluster to go in deep idle
state).
Test 2: 1-cfs-1-idle-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and single SCHED_IDLE
task is pinned on CPU6 (to make sure cluster 1 doesn't go in deep idle
state).
Test 3: 1-cfs-8-idle-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and eight SCHED_IDLE
tasks are created which run forever (not pinned anywhere, so they run
on all CPUs). Checked with kernelshark that as soon as NORMAL task
sleeps, the SCHED_IDLE task starts running on CPU5.
And here are the results on mean latency (in us), using the "st" tool.
$ st 1-cfs-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
642 90 592 197180 307.134 109.906
$ st 1-cfs-1-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
642 67 311 113850 177.336 41.4251
$ st 1-cfs-8-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
643 29 173 41364 64.3297 13.2344
The mean latency when we need to:
- wakeup from deep idle state is 307 us.
- wakeup from shallow idle state is 177 us.
- preempt a SCHED_IDLE task is 64 us.

select_idle_cpu() will scan the LLC domain for idle CPUs,
it's always expensive. so the next commit :
1ad3aaf3fc ("sched/core: Implement new approach to scale select_idle_cpu()")
introduces a way to limit how many CPUs we scan.
But it consume some CPUs out of 'nr' that are not allowed
for the task and thus waste our attempts. The function
always return nr_cpumask_bits, and we can't find a CPU
which our task is allowed to run.
Cpumask may be too big, similar to select_idle_core(), use
per_cpu_ptr 'select_idle_mask' to prevent stack overflow.

The load balance can fail to find a suitable task during the periodic check
because the imbalance is smaller than half of the load of the waiting
tasks. This results in the increase of the number of failed load balance,
which can end up to start an active migration. This active migration is
useless because the current running task is not a better choice than the
waiting ones. In fact, the current task was probably not running but
waiting for the CPU during one of the previous attempts and it had already
not been selected.
When load balance fails too many times to migrate a task, we should relax
the contraint on the maximum load of the tasks that can be migrated
similarly to what is done with cache hotness.
Before the rework, load balance used to set the imbalance to the average
load_per_task in order to mitigate such situation. This increased the
likelihood of migrating a task but also of selecting a larger task than
needed while more appropriate ones were in the list.

Because of CPU affinity, the local group can be skipped which breaks the
assumption that statistics are always collected for local group. With
uninitialized local_sgs, the comparison is meaningless and the behavior
unpredictable. This can even end up to use local pointer which is to
NULL in this case.
If the local group has been skipped because of CPU affinity, we return

update_cfs_rq_load_avg() calls cfs_rq_util_change() every time PELT decays,
which might be inefficient when the cpufreq driver has rate limitation.
When a task is attached on a CPU, we have this call path:
update_load_avg()
update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update
attach_entity_load_avg()
cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update
The 1st frequency update will not take into account the utilization of the
newly attached task and the 2nd one might be discarded because of rate
limitation of the cpufreq driver.
update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is only called by update_blocked_averages()
and update_load_avg() so we can move the call to
cfs_rq_util_change/cpufreq_update_util() into these two functions.
It's also interesting to note that update_load_avg() already calls
cfs_rq_util_change() directly for the !SMP case.
This change will also ensure that cpufreq_update_util() is called even
when there is no more CFS rq in the leaf_cfs_rq_list to update, but only
IRQ, RT or DL PELT signals.

The task, for which the scheduler looks for the idlest group of CPUs, must
be discounted from all statistics in order to get a fair comparison
between groups. This includes utilization, load, nr_running and idle_cpus.
Such unfairness can be easily highlighted with the unixbench execl 1 task.
This test continuously call execve() and the scheduler looks for the idlest
group/CPU on which it should place the task. Because the task runs on the
local group/CPU, the latter seems already busy even if there is nothing
else running on it. As a result, the scheduler will always select another
group/CPU than the local one.
This recovers most of the performance regression on my system from the
recent load-balancer rewrite.

Ever since we moved the sched_class definitions into their own files,
the constant expression {fair,idle}_sched_class.pick_next_task() is
not in fact a compile time constant anymore and results in an indirect
call (barring LTO).
Fix that by exposing pick_next_task_{fair,idle}() directly, this gets
rid of the indirect call (and RETPOLINE) on the fast path.
Also remove the unlikely() from the idle case, it is in fact /the/ way
we select idle -- and that is a very common thing to do.
Performance for will-it-scale/sched_yield improves by 2% (as reported
by 0-day).

Commit 67692435c4 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path")
inadvertly introduced a race because it changed a previously
unexplored dependency between dropping the rq->lock and
sched_class::put_prev_task().
The comments about dropping rq->lock, in for example
newidle_balance(), only mentions the task being current and ->on_cpu
being set. But when we look at the 'change' pattern (in for example
sched_setnuma()):
queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */
if (queued)
dequeue_task(...);
if (running)
put_prev_task(...);
/* change task properties */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(...);
if (running)
set_next_task(...);
It becomes obvious that if we do this after put_prev_task() has
already been called on @p, things go sideways. This is exactly what
the commit in question allows to happen when it does:
prev->sched_class->put_prev_task(rq, prev, rf);
if (!rq->nr_running)
newidle_balance(rq, rf);
The newidle_balance() call will drop rq->lock after we've called
put_prev_task() and that allows the above 'change' pattern to
interleave and mess up the state.
Furthermore, it turns out we lost the RT-pull when we put the last DL
task.
Fix both problems by extracting the balancing from put_prev_task() and
doing a multi-class balance() pass before put_prev_task().

The estimated utilization for a task:
util_est = max(util_avg, est.enqueue, est.ewma)
is defined based on:
- util_avg: the PELT defined utilization
- est.enqueued: the util_avg at the end of the last activation
- est.ewma: a exponential moving average on the est.enqueued samples
According to this definition, when a task suddenly changes its bandwidth
requirements from small to big, the EWMA will need to collect multiple
samples before converging up to track the new big utilization.
This slow convergence towards bigger utilization values is not
aligned to the default scheduler behavior, which is to optimize for
performance. Moreover, the est.ewma component fails to compensate for
temporarely utilization drops which spans just few est.enqueued samples.
To let util_est do a better job in the scenario depicted above, change
its definition by making util_est directly follow upward motion and
only decay the est.ewma on downward.

underutilized groups with huge blocked load whereas other groups were
overloaded.
The load is now only used when groups are overloaded. In this case,
it's worth being conservative and taking into account the sleeping
tasks that might wake up on the CPU.

CFS load_balance() only takes care of CFS tasks whereas CPUs can be used by
other scheduling classes. Typically, a CFS task preempted by an RT or deadline
task will not get a chance to be pulled by another CPU because
load_balance() doesn't take into account tasks from other classes.
Add sum of nr_running in the statistics and use it to detect such
situations.

The load_balance() algorithm contains some heuristics which have become
meaningless since the rework of the scheduler's metrics like the
introduction of PELT.
Furthermore, load is an ill-suited metric for solving certain task
placement imbalance scenarios.
For instance, in the presence of idle CPUs, we should simply try to get at
least one task per CPU, whereas the current load-based algorithm can actually
leave idle CPUs alone simply because the load is somewhat balanced.
The current algorithm ends up creating virtual and meaningless values like
the avg_load_per_task or tweaks the state of a group to make it overloaded
whereas it's not, in order to try to migrate tasks.
load_balance() should better qualify the imbalance of the group and clearly
define what has to be moved to fix this imbalance.
The type of sched_group has been extended to better reflect the type of
imbalance. We now have:
group_has_spare
group_fully_busy
group_misfit_task
group_asym_packing
group_imbalanced
group_overloaded
Based on the type of sched_group, load_balance now sets what it wants to
move in order to fix the imbalance. It can be some load as before but also
some utilization, a number of task or a type of task:
migrate_task
migrate_util
migrate_load
migrate_misfit
This new load_balance() algorithm fixes several pending wrong tasks
placement:
- the 1 task per CPU case with asymmetric system
- the case of cfs task preempted by other class
- the case of tasks not evenly spread on groups with spare capacity
Also the load balance decisions have been consolidated in the 3 functions
below after removing the few bypasses and hacks of the current code:
- update_sd_pick_busiest() select the busiest sched_group.
- find_busiest_group() checks if there is an imbalance between local and
busiest group.
- calculate_imbalance() decides what have to be moved.
Finally, the now unused field total_running of struct sd_lb_stats has been
removed.

Clean up asym packing to follow the default load balance behavior:
- classify the group by creating a group_asym_packing field.
- calculate the imbalance in calculate_imbalance() instead of bypassing it.
We don't need to test twice same conditions anymore to detect asym packing
and we consolidate the calculation of imbalance in calculate_imbalance().

The quota/period ratio is used to ensure a child task group won't get
more bandwidth than the parent task group, and is calculated as:
normalized_cfs_quota() = [(quota_us << 20) / period_us]
If the quota/period ratio was changed during this scaling due to
precision loss, it will cause inconsistency between parent and child
task groups.
See below example:
A userspace container manager (kubelet) does three operations:
1) Create a parent cgroup, set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us.
2) Create a few children cgroups.
3) Set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us on a child cgroup.
These operations are expected to succeed. However, if the scaling of
147/128 happens before step 3, quota and period of the parent cgroup
will be changed:
new_quota: 1148437ns, 1148us
new_period: 11484375ns, 11484us
And when step 3 comes in, the ratio of the child cgroup will be
104857, which will be larger than the parent cgroup ratio (104821),
and will fail.
Scaling them by a factor of 2 will fix the problem.

The EAS wake-up path computes the system energy for several CPU
candidates: the CPU with maximum spare capacity in each performance
domain, and the prev_cpu. However, if prev_cpu also happens to be the
CPU with maximum spare capacity in its performance domain, the energy
calculation is still done twice, unnecessarily.
Add a condition to filter out this corner case before doing the energy
calculation.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.
As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)
- Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
to go though.
- Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.
- Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).
- Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.
- Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.
- Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.
- Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
being offlined.
- Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
before.
- Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
optimal.
- Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.
- Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.
- ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
the Git log for more details.

EAS computes the energy impact of migrating a waking task when deciding
on which CPU it should run. However, the current approach is known to
have a high algorithmic complexity, which can result in prohibitively
high wake-up latencies on systems with complex energy models, such as
systems with per-CPU DVFS. On such systems, the algorithm complexity is
in O(n^2) (ignoring the cost of searching for performance states in the
EM) with 'n' the number of CPUs.
To address this, re-factor the EAS wake-up path to compute the energy
'delta' (with and without the task) on a per-performance domain basis,
rather than system-wide, which brings the complexity down to O(n).
No functional changes intended.
Test results
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Setup: Tested on a Google Pixel 3, with a Snapdragon 845 (4+4 CPUs,
A55/A75). Base kernel is 5.3-rc5 + Pixel3 specific patches. Android
userspace, no graphics.
* Test case: Run a periodic rt-app task, with 16ms period, ramping down
from 70% to 10%, in 5% steps of 500 ms each (json avail. at [1]).
Frequencies of all CPUs are pinned to max (using scaling_min_freq
CPUFreq sysfs entries) to reduce variability. The time to run
select_task_rq_fair() is measured using the function profiler
(/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*). See the test script
for more details [2].
Test 1:
I hacked the DT to 'fake' per-CPU DVFS. That is, we end up with one
CPUFreq policy per CPU (8 policies in total). Since all frequencies are
pinned to max for the test, this should have no impact on the actual
frequency selection, but it does in the EAS calculation.

do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b->runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly, then other cfs_rqs
attached to this cfs_b can't get runtime and will be throttled.
We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq->runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet:
distribute_cfs_runtime() {
runtime = -cfs_rq->runtime_remaining + 1;
}
The runtime here will change to a large number and consume all
cfs_b->runtime in this cfs_b period.
According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.
This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled until that distribute_cfs_runtime is called.

Enabling WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK in /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features causes
warning to fire in update_rq_clock. This seems to be caused by onlining
a new fair sched group not using the rq lock wrappers.

Using the wrappers in online_fair_sched_group instead of the raw locking
removes this warning.

Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.
By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().
This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.
Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.
For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do
balancing, and we could do this before the picking loop. Make this
possible.
