2021-11-11sched/fair: Prevent dead task groups from regaining cfs_rq'sMathias Krause
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 a7b359fc6a37 ("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.

2021-10-05sched: Make schedstats helpers independent of fair sched classYafang Shao
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.

2021-10-05sched: Make struct sched_statistics independent of fair sched classYafang Shao
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.

2021-10-05sched/fair: Trigger nohz.next_balance updates when a CPU goes NOHZ-idleValentin Schneider
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 a7b359fc6a37 ("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 fdaba61ef8a2 ("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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks on AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs. Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their own task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will make sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it.

2021-08-20sched: Cgroup SCHED_IDLE supportJosh Don
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. Signed-off-by: Josh Don <joshdon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210730020019.1487127-2-joshdon@google.com

2021-08-04sched/fair: Use prev instead of new target as recent_used_cpuMel Gorman
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.

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) 0.521 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); 9) 0.140 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); ... 9) 0.500 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); 9) | housekeeping_any_cpu() { 9) 0.090 us | housekeeping_get_mask.part.1(); 9) 0.100 us | sched_numa_find_closest(); 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.

2021-06-28sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistentOdin Ugedal
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.

2021-06-24sched/fair: Introduce the burstable CFS controllerHuaixin Chang
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 90.0000th: 22176 95.0000th: 22496 *99.0000th: 22752 99.5000th: 22752 99.9000th: 22752 min=0, max=22727 rps: 9.90 p95 (usec) 22496 p99 (usec) 22752 p95/cputime 28.12% p99/cputime 28.44% 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.

2021-06-17sched/fair: Age the average idle timePeter Zijlstra
This is a partial forward-port of Peter Ziljstra's work first posted at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180530142236.667774973@infradead.org/ Currently select_idle_cpu()'s proportional scheme uses the average idle time *for when we are idle*, that is temporally challenged. When a CPU is not at all idle, we'll happily continue using whatever value we did 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.

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.

2021-06-17sched/cpufreq: Consider reduced CPU capacity in energy calculationLukasz Luba
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.

2021-06-17sched/fair: Take thermal pressure into account while estimating energyLukasz Luba
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.

In case the _avg delta is 0 there is no need to update se's _avg (level n) nor cfs_rq's _avg (level n-1). These values stay the same. Since cfs_rq's _avg isn't changed, i.e. no load is propagated down, cfs_rq's _sum should stay the same as well. So bail out after se's _sum has been updated.

2021-06-14sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottleOdin Ugedal
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: $ ps u -C stress USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 10009 88.8 0.0 3676 100 pts/1 R+ 11:04 0:13 stress --cpu 1 root 10023 3.0 0.0 3676 104 pts/1 R+ 11:04 0:00 stress --cpu 1 Fixes: 31bc6aeaab1d ("sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()") [vingo: !SMP build fix] Signed-off-by: Odin Ugedal <odin@uged.al> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210612112815.61678-1-odin@uged.al

2021-06-03sched/fair: Fix util_est UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED handlingDietmar Eggemann
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 92a801e5d5b7 ("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) Fixes: b89997aa88f0b sched/pelt: Fix task util_est update filtering Signed-off-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Xuewen Yan <xuewen.yan@unisoc.com> Reviewed-by: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210602145808.1562603-1-dietmar.eggemann@arm.com
