Because autogroup didn't call the then meaningless scale_load()...
Autogroup nice level adjustment has been broken ever since load
resolution was increased for 64-bit kernels. Use scale_load() to
scale group weight.
Michael Kerrisk tested this patch to fix the problem:
> Applied and tested against 4.9-rc6 on an Intel u7 (4 cores).
> Test setup:
>
> Terminal window 1: running 40 CPU burner jobs
> Terminal window 2: running 40 CPU burner jobs
> Terminal window 1: running 1 CPU burner job
>
> Demonstrated that:
> * Writing "0" to the autogroup file for TW1 now causes no change
> to the rate at which the process on the terminal consume CPU.
> * Writing -20 to the autogroup file for TW1 caused those processes
> to get the lion's share of CPU while TW2 TW3 get a tiny amount.
> * Writing -20 to the autogroup files for TW1 and TW3 allowed the
> process on TW3 to get as much CPU as it was getting as when
> the autogroup nice values for both terminals were 0.

Exactly because for_each_thread() in autogroup_move_group() can't see it
and update its ->sched_task_group before _put() and possibly free().
So the exiting task needs another sched_move_task() before exit_notify()
and we need to re-introduce the PF_EXITING (or similar) check removed by
the previous change for another reason.

The PF_EXITING check in task_wants_autogroup() is no longer needed. Remove
it, but see the next patch.
However the comment is correct in that autogroup_move_group() must always
change task_group() for every thread so the sysctl_ check is very wrong;
we can race with cgroups and even sys_setsid() is not safe because a task
running with task_group() == ag->tg must participate in refcounting:
int main(void)
{
int sctl = open("/proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled", O_WRONLY);
assert(sctl > 0);
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL); // destroy the child's ag/tg
pause();
}
assert(pwrite(sctl, "1\n", 2, 0) == 2);
assert(setsid() > 0);
if (fork())
pause();
kill(getppid(), SIGKILL);
sleep(1);
// The child has gone, the grandchild runs with kref == 1
assert(pwrite(sctl, "0\n", 2, 0) == 2);
assert(setsid() > 0);
// runs with the freed ag/tg
for (;;)
sleep(1);
return 0;
}
crashes the kernel. It doesn't really need sleep(1), it doesn't matter if
autogroup_move_group() actually frees the task_group or this happens later.

In sched_show_task() we print out a useless hex number, not even a
symbol, and there's a big question mark whether this even makes sense
anyway, I suspect we should just remove it all.

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, it is possible that an exited thread
remains in the task list after its stack pointer was already set to NULL.
Therefore, thread_saved_pc() and stack_not_used() in sched_show_task()
will trigger NULL pointer dereference if an attempt to dump such thread's
traces (e.g. SysRq-t, khungtaskd) is made.
Since show_stack() in sched_show_task() calls try_get_task_stack() and
sched_show_task() is called from interrupt context, calling
try_get_task_stack() from sched_show_task() will be safe as well.

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the
page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt
normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up
breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object:
wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the
stack of fill_super().
The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is
no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical
page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()).
It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the
per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup
also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone
lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates
horrible code.
As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for
the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a
separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at
for the normal case.
Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody
even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by
simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury,
which he bisected back to:
3d30544f0212 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes)
The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved
(read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask.
The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg)
is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of
a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to
parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load
(tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg().
But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load,
whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value.
The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the
weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is
smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than
what it could expect.
( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg"
of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib"
of online cfs_rqs of the task group. )
The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else
than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

This can be reproduced by running the ftrace test case of kselftest, the
test case will hot-unplug the CPU and the CPU will attach to the NULL
sched-domain during scheduler teardown.
The step 2 for the rewrite select_idle_siblings():
| Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
| average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup.
If the CPU which doing the wakeup is the going hot-unplug CPU, then NULL
sched domain will be dereferenced to acquire the average cost of the scan.
This patch fix it by failing the search of an idle CPU in the LLC process
if this sched domain is NULL.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

While going through enqueue/dequeue to review the movement of
set_curr_task() I noticed that the (2nd) update_min_vruntime() call in
dequeue_entity() is suspect.
It turns out, its actually wrong because it will consider
cfs_rq->curr, which could be the entry we just normalized. This mixes
different vruntime forms and leads to fail.
The purpose of the second update_min_vruntime() is to move
min_vruntime forward if the entity we just removed is the one that was
holding it back; _except_ for the DEQUEUE_SAVE case, because then we
know its a temporary removal and it will come back.
However, since we do put_prev_task() _after_ dequeue(), cfs_rq->curr
will still be set (and per the above, can be tranformed into a
different unit), so update_min_vruntime() should also consider
curr->on_rq. This also fixes another corner case where the enqueue
(which also does update_curr()->update_min_vruntime()) happens on the
rq->lock break in schedule(), between dequeue and put_prev_task.

Almost all scheduler functions update state with the following
pattern:
if (queued)
dequeue_task(rq, p, DEQUEUE_SAVE);
if (running)
put_prev_task(rq, p);
/* update state */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(rq, p, ENQUEUE_RESTORE);
if (running)
set_curr_task(rq, p);
set_user_nice() however misses the running part, cure this.
This was found by asserting we never enqueue 'current'.

When a task switches to fair scheduling class, the period between now
and the last update of its utilization is accounted as running time
whatever happened during this period. This incorrect accounting applies
to the task and also to the task group branch.
When changing the property of a running task like its list of allowed
CPUs or its scheduling class, we follow the sequence:
- dequeue task
- put task
- change the property
- set task as current task
- enqueue task
The end of the sequence doesn't follow the normal sequence (as per
__schedule()) which is:
- enqueue a task
- then set the task as current task.
This incorrectordering is the root cause of incorrect utilization accounting.
Update the sequence to follow the right one:
- dequeue task
- put task
- change the property
- enqueue task
- set task as current task

select_idle_siblings() is a known pain point for a number of
workloads; it either does too much or not enough and sometimes just
does plain wrong.
This rewrite attempts to address a number of issues (but sadly not
all).
The current code does an unconditional sched_domain iteration; with
the intent of finding an idle core (on SMT hardware). The problems
which this patch tries to address are:
- its pointless to look for idle cores if the machine is real busy;
at which point you're just wasting cycles.
- it's behaviour is inconsistent between SMT and !SMT hardware in
that !SMT hardware ends up doing a scan for any idle CPU in the LLC
domain, while SMT hardware does a scan for idle cores and if that
fails, falls back to a scan for idle threads on the 'target' core.
The new code replaces the sched_domain scan with 3 explicit scans:
1) search for an idle core in the LLC
2) search for an idle CPU in the LLC
3) search for an idle thread in the 'target' core
where 1 and 3 are conditional on SMT support and 1 and 2 have runtime
heuristics to skip the step.
Step 1) is conditional on sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores; when a cpu
goes idle and sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores is false, we scan all SMT
siblings of the CPU going idle. Similarly, we clear
sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores when we fail to find an idle core.
Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup. There is a
significant fudge factor involved to deal with the variability of the
averages. Esp. hackbench was sensitive to this.
Step 3) is unconditional; we assume (also per step 1) that scanning
all SMT siblings in a core is 'cheap'.
With this; SMT systems gain step 2, which cures a few benchmarks --
notably one from Facebook.
One 'feature' of the sched_domain iteration, which we preserve in the
new code, is that it would start scanning from the 'target' CPU,
instead of scanning the cpumask in cpu id order. This avoids multiple
CPUs in the LLC scanning for idle to gang up and find the same CPU
quite as much. The down side is that tasks can end up hopping across
the LLC for no apparent reason.

Since struct sched_domain is strictly per cpu; introduce a structure
that is shared between all 'identical' sched_domains.
Limit to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains for now, as we'll only use it
for shared cache state; if another use comes up later we can easily
relax this.
While the sched_group's are normally shared between CPUs, these are
not natural to use when we need some shared state on a domain level --
since that would require the domain to have a parent, which is not a
given.

There is no point in doing a call_rcu() for each domain, only do a
callback for the root sched domain and clean up the entire set in one
go.
Also make the entire call chain be called destroy_sched_domain*() to
remove confusion with the free_sched_domains() call, which does an
entirely different thing.
Both cpu_attach_domain() callers of destroy_sched_domain() can live
without the call_rcu() because at those points the sched_domain hasn't
been published yet.

The partial initialization of wait_queue_t in prepare_to_wait_event() looks

And. This way prepare_to_wait_event() can have more users. In particular we
are ready to remove the signal_pending_state() checks from wait_bit_action_f
helpers and change __wait_on_bit_lock() to use prepare_to_wait_event().

Otherwise this logic only works if mode is "compatible" with another
exclusive waiter.
If some wq has both TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters,
abort_exclusive_wait() won't wait an uninterruptible waiter.
The main user is __wait_on_bit_lock() and currently it is fine but only
because TASK_KILLABLE includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and we do not have
lock_page_interruptible() yet.
Just use TASK_NORMAL and remove the "mode" arg from abort_exclusive_wait().
Yes, this means that (say) wake_up_interruptible() can wake up the non-
interruptible waiter(s), but I think this is fine. And in fact I think
that abort_exclusive_wait() must die, see the next change.

- 'shares' in calc_cfs_shares() has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit
kernels. Therefore use scale_load() on MIN_SHARES.
- 'wl' in effective_load() has 10 bit fixed point unit. Therefore use
scale_load_down() on tg->shares which has 20 bit fixed point unit on
64-bit kernels.

Current code can call set_cpu_sibling_map() and invoke sched_set_topology()
more than once (e.g. on CPU hot plug). When this happens after
sched_init_smp() has been called, we lose the NUMA topology extension to
sched_domain_topology in sched_init_numa(). This results in incorrect
topology when the sched domain is rebuilt.
This patch fixes the bug and issues warning if we call sched_set_topology()
after sched_init_smp().

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime).
It makes use of a per-CPU hrtimer resource and hence arming that
hrtimer should be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its
various cfs_rqs, rather than being based on number of tasks in a
particular cfs_rq (as implemented currently).
As a result, with current code, its possible for a running task (which
is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted much after its
ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency for tasks in
other cfs_rq on same CPU.
Fix this by arming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.

Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD
context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in
__schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from
schedule().
In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we
place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule().
Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no
coming back from do_exit().

We currently keep every task's stack around until the task_struct
itself is freed. This means that we keep the stack allocation alive
for longer than necessary and that, under load, we free stacks in
big batches whenever RCU drops the last task reference. Neither of
these is good for reuse of cache-hot memory, and freeing in batches
prevents us from usefully caching small numbers of vmalloced stacks.
On architectures that have thread_info on the stack, we can't easily
change this, but on architectures that set THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, we
can free it as soon as the task is dead.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:
- Expedited grace-period changes, most notably avoiding having
user threads drive expedited grace periods, using a workqueue
instead.
- Miscellaneous fixes, including a performance fix for lists
that was sent with the lists modifications (second URL below).
- CPU hotplug updates, most notably providing exact CPU-online
tracking for RCU. This will in turn allow removal of the
checks supporting RCU's prior heuristic that was based on the
assumption that CPUs would take no longer than one jiffy to
come online.
- Torture-test updates.
- Documentation updates.
