By default fair_server dl_server allocates 5% of the bandwidth to the root
domain. Due to this writing any value less than 5% fails due to -EBUSY:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
1000000
$ echo 49999 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
$ echo 50000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
$
Since the sched_rt_runtime_us allows -1 as the minimum, put this
restriction in the documentation.
One should check average of runtime/period in
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpuX/* for exact value.

With commit 5b26f7b920f7 ("sched_ext: Allow SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON for direct
dispatches"), scx_bpf_dsq_insert() can use SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON for direct
dispatch from ops.enqueue() to target the local DSQ of any CPU.

In sched_ext API, a repeatedly reported pain point is the overuse of the
verb "dispatch" and confusion around "consume":
- ops.dispatch()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]()
- scx_bpf_consume()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*()
This overloading of the term is historical. Originally, there were only
built-in DSQs and moving a task into a DSQ always dispatched it for
execution. Using the verb "dispatch" for the kfuncs to move tasks into these
DSQs made sense.
Later, user DSQs were added and scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() updated to be
able to insert tasks into any DSQ. The only allowed DSQ to DSQ transfer was
from a non-local DSQ to a local DSQ and this operation was named "consume".
This was already confusing as a task could be dispatched to a user DSQ from
ops.enqueue() and then the DSQ would have to be consumed in ops.dispatch().
Later addition of scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq*() made the confusion even worse
as "dispatch" in this context meant moving a task to an arbitrary DSQ from a
user DSQ.
Clean up the API with the following renames:
1. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() -> scx_bpf_dsq_insert[_vtime]()
2. scx_bpf_consume() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local()
3. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move[_vtime]*()
This patch performs the second rename. Compatibility is maintained by:
- The previous kfunc names are still provided by the kernel so that old
binaries can run. Kernel generates a warning when the old names are used.
- compat.bpf.h provides wrappers for the new names which automatically fall
back to the old names when running on older kernels. They also trigger
build error if old names are used for new builds.
The compat features will be dropped after v6.15.
v2: Comment and documentation updates.

As discussed during the distro-centric session within the sched_ext
Microconference at LPC 2024, introduce a sequence counter that is
incremented every time a BPF scheduler is loaded.
This feature can help distributions in diagnosing potential performance
regressions by identifying systems where users are running (or have ran)
custom BPF schedulers.
Example:
arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
0
arighi@virtme-ng~> sudo scx_simple
local=1 global=0
^CEXIT: unregistered from user space
arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
1
In this way user-space tools (such as Ubuntu's apport and similar) are
able to gather and include this information in bug reports.

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

5d871a63997f ("sched/fair: Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c")
A simple context conflict. The former added __update_blocked_others() in
the same #ifdef CONFIG_SMP block that effective_cpu_util() and
sched_cpu_util() are in and the latter moved those functions to fair.c.
This makes __update_blocked_others() more out of place. Will follow up

84d265281d6c ("sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure")
The former factored out the body of __update_blocked_others() into
update_other_load_avgs(). The latter changed how update_hw_load_avg() is
called in the body. Resolved by applying the change to
update_other_load_avgs() instead.

Also load_balance() has become somewhat of a misnomer: historically
it was the first and primary load-balancing function that was called,

The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy consumption
of placing a task on different CPUs. The goal is to minimize this
energy consumption. Estimating the energy of different task placements
is increasingly complex with the size of the platform.
To avoid having a slow wake-up path, EAS is only enabled if this
complexity is low enough.
The current complexity limit was set in:
b68a4c0dba3b1 ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")
... based on the first implementation of EAS, which was re-computing
the power of the whole platform for each task placement scenario, see:
390031e4c309 ("sched/fair: Introduce an energy estimation helper function")
... but the complexity of EAS was reduced in:
eb92692b2544d ("sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups")
... and find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) algorithm was updated in:
3e8c6c9aac42 ("sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec()")
find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) is now doing:
feec()
\_ for_each_pd(pd) [0]
// get max_spare_cap_cpu and compute_prev_delta
\_ for_each_cpu(pd) [1]
\_ eenv_pd_busy_time(pd) [2]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) without the task
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, -1) [3.0]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, -1)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) with the task on prev_cpu
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, prev_cpu) [3.1]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, prev_cpu)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) with the task on max_spare_cap_cpu
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu) [3.2]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
[3.1] happens only once since prev_cpu is unique. With the same
definitions for nr_pd, nr_cpus and nr_ps, the complexity is of:
nr_pd * (2 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd]))
+ ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd])
[0] * ( [1] + [2] + [3.0] + [3.2] )
+ [3.1]
= nr_pd * (4 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * [nr_ps in pd])
+ [nr_cpus in prev pd] + nr_ps
The complexity limit was set to 2048 in:
b68a4c0dba3b1 ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")
... to make "EAS usable up to 16 CPUs with per-CPU DVFS and less than 8
performance states each". For the same platform, the complexity would
actually be of:
16 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 296
Since the EAS complexity was greatly reduced since the limit was
introduced, bigger platforms can handle EAS.
For instance, a platform with 112 CPUs with 7 performance states
each would not reach it:
112 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 2024
To reflect this improvement in the underlying EAS code, remove
the EAS complexity check.
Note that a limit on the number of CPUs still holds against
EM_MAX_NUM_CPUS to avoid overflows during the energy estimation.

Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.
The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.
There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.
Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.
No functional changes.
Some performance tests on Arm64:
- small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
- HMP device (RB5): hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
- large smp (thx2): hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)

- Describe explicitly that sched_rt_runtime_us is allocated from
sched_rt_period_us and hence always less or equal to that value.
- The limit for sched_rt_runtime_us is not INT_MAX-1, but rather it's
limited by the value of sched_rt_period_us. If sched_rt_period_us is
INT_MAX then sched_rt_runtime_us can be set to INT_MAX as well.
