2020-01-28timers/nohz: Update NOHZ load in remote tickPeter Zijlstra (Intel)
The way loadavg is tracked during nohz only pays attention to the load upon entering nohz. This can be particularly noticeable if full nohz is entered while non-idle, and then the cpu goes idle and stays that way for a long time. Use the remote tick to ensure that full nohz cpus report their deltas within a reasonable time.

2020-01-17sched/topology: Assert non-NUMA topology masks don't (partially) overlapValentin Schneider
topology.c::get_group() relies on the assumption that non-NUMA domains do not partially overlap. Zeng Tao pointed out in [1] that such topology descriptions, while completely bogus, can end up being exposed to the scheduler. In his example (8 CPUs, 2-node system), we end up with: MC span for CPU3 == 3-7 MC span for CPU4 == 4-7 The first pass through get_group(3, sdd@MC) will result in the following sched_group list: 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 ^ / `----------------' And a later pass through get_group(4, sdd@MC) will "corrupt" that to: 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 ^ / `-----------' which will completely break things like 'while (sg != sd->groups)' when using CPU3's base sched_domain. There already are some architecture-specific checks in place such as x86/kernel/smpboot.c::topology.sane(), but this is something we can detect in the core scheduler, so it seems worthwhile to do so. Warn and abort the construction of the sched domains if such a broken topology description is detected. Note that this is somewhat expensive (O(t.c²), 't' non-NUMA topology levels and 'c' CPUs) and could be gated under SCHED_DEBUG if deemed necessary.

2020-01-17sched/fair: Remove redundant call to cpufreq_update_util()Vincent Guittot
With commit bef69dd87828 ("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.

2020-01-17sched/fair: Fix sgc->{min,max}_capacity calculation for SD_OVERLAPPeng Liu
commit bf475ce0a3dd ("sched/fair: Add per-CPU min capacity to sched_group_capacity") introduced per-cpu min_capacity. commit e3d6d0cb66f2 ("sched/fair: Add sched_group per-CPU max capacity") introduced 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)).

2020-01-17sched/uclamp: Fix a bug in propagating uclamp value in new cgroupsQais Yousef
When a new cgroup is created, the effective uclamp value wasn't updated with a call to cpu_util_update_eff() that looks at the hierarchy and update to the most restrictive values. Fix it by ensuring to call cpu_util_update_eff() when a new cgroup becomes online. Without this change, the newly created cgroup uses the default root_task_group uclamp values, which is 1024 for both uclamp_{min, max}, which will cause the rq to to be clamped to max, hence cause the system to run at max frequency. The problem was observed on Ubuntu server and was reproduced on Debian and Buildroot rootfs. By default, Ubuntu and Debian create a cpu controller cgroup hierarchy and add all tasks to it - which creates enough noise to keep the rq uclamp value at max most of the time. Imitating this behavior makes the problem visible in Buildroot too which otherwise looks fine since it's a minimal userspace.

2020-01-17sched/fair: Load balance aggressively for SCHED_IDLE CPUsViresh Kumar
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.

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.

2019-12-25sched/rt: Make RT capacity-awareQais Yousef
Capacity Awareness refers to the fact that on heterogeneous systems (like Arm big.LITTLE), the capacity of the CPUs is not uniform, hence when placing tasks we need to be aware of this difference of CPU capacities. In such scenarios we want to ensure that the selected CPU has enough capacity to meet the requirement of the running task. Enough capacity means here that capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= task.requirement. The definition of task.requirement is dependent on the scheduling class. For CFS, utilization is used to select a CPU that has >= capacity value than the cfs_task.util. capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= cfs_task.util DL isn't capacity aware at the moment but can make use of the bandwidth reservation to implement that in a similar manner CFS uses utilization. The following patchset implements that: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190506044836.2914-1-luca.abeni@santannapisa.it/ capacity_orig_of(cpu)/SCHED_CAPACITY >= dl_deadline/dl_runtime For RT we don't have a per task utilization signal and we lack any information in general about what performance requirement the RT task needs. But with the introduction of uclamp, RT tasks can now control that by setting uclamp_min to guarantee a minimum performance point. ATM the uclamp value are only used for frequency selection; but on heterogeneous systems this is not enough and we need to ensure that the capacity of the CPU is >= uclamp_min. Which is what implemented here. capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= rt_task.uclamp_min Note that by default uclamp.min is 1024, which means that RT tasks will always be biased towards the big CPUs, which make for a better more predictable behavior for the default case. Must stress that the bias acts as a hint rather than a definite placement strategy. For example, if all big cores are busy executing other RT tasks we can't guarantee that a new RT task will be placed there. On non-heterogeneous systems the original behavior of RT should be retained. Similarly if uclamp is not selected in the config.

2019-12-25sched/fair: Make EAS wakeup placement consider uclamp restrictionsValentin Schneider
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.

2019-12-25sched/fair: Make task_fits_capacity() consider uclamp restrictionsValentin Schneider
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.

2019-12-25sched/fair: Make sched-idle CPU selection consistent throughoutViresh Kumar
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.

2019-12-22pipe: fix empty pipe check in pipe_write()Jan Stancek
LTP pipeio_1 test is hanging with v5.5-rc2-385-gb8e382a185eb, with read side observing empty pipe and sleeping and write side running out of space and then sleeping as well. In this scenario there are 5 writers and 1 reader. Problem is that after pipe_write() reacquires pipe lock, it re-checks for empty pipe with potentially stale 'head' and doesn't wake up read side anymore. pipe->tail can advance beyond 'head', because there are multiple writers. Use pipe->head for empty pipe check after reacquiring lock to observe current state. Testing: With patch, LTP pipeio_1 ran successfully in loop for 1 hour. Without patch it hanged within a minute.

2019-12-22kbuild: clarify the difference between obj-y and obj-m w.r.t. descendingMasahiro Yamada
Kbuild descends into a directory by either 'y' or 'm', but there is an important difference. Kbuild combines the built-in objects into built-in.a in each directory. The built-in.a in the directory visited by obj-y is merged into the built-in.a in the parent directory. This merge happens recursively when Kbuild is ascending back towards the top directory, then built-in objects are linked into vmlinux eventually. This works properly only when the Makefile specifying obj-y is reachable by the chain of obj-y. On the other hand, Kbuild does not take built-in.a from the directory visited by obj-m. This it, all the objects in that directory are supposed to be modular. If Kbuild descends into a directory by obj-m, but the Makefile in the sub-directory specifies obj-y, those objects are just left orphan. The current statement "Kbuild only uses this information to decide that it needs to visit the directory" is misleading. Clarify the difference.
