When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.
When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.
For example:
The cpu7 is a single CPU:
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done& [1] 4737
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 > scaling_max_freq
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2171000
At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.
To fix this, add a check for the ->need_freq_update flag.

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it
eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case.
Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division
is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this
property the value returned is slightly left of the true average.
However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the
effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the
returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.

Tasks that never consume their full slice would not update their slice value.
This means that tasks that are spawned before the sysctl scaling keep their

During RCU-boost testing with the TREE03 rcutorture config, I found that
after a few hours, the machine locks up.
On tracing, I found that there is a live lock happening between 2 CPUs.
One CPU has an RT task running, while another CPU is being offlined
which also has an RT task running. During this offlining, all threads
are migrated. The migration thread is repeatedly scheduled to migrate
actively running tasks on the CPU being offlined. This results in a live
lock because select_fallback_rq() keeps picking the CPU that an RT task
is already running on only to get pushed back to the CPU being offlined.
It is anyway pointless to pick CPUs for pushing tasks to if they are
being offlined only to get migrated away to somewhere else. This could
also add unwanted latency to this task.
Fix these issues by not selecting CPUs in RT if they are not 'active'
for scheduling, using the cpu_active_mask. Other parts in core.c already
use cpu_active_mask to prevent tasks from being put on CPUs going
offline.
With this fix I ran the tests for days and could not reproduce the
hang. Without the patch, I hit it in a few hours.

Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call
path sched_init() -> init_idle(). Having the task idle and calling
call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be
set. Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs,
potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed. Recent changes
have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early.
This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled
before they are fully set up.
Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence.
Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d,
I am not sure that it is wrong to do so. The forced context-switch on
idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim
this fixes 5f6130fa52ee.

For SMT4, any group with more than 2 tasks will be marked as
group_smt_balance. Retain the behaviour of group_has_spare by marking
the busiest group as the group which has the least number of idle_cpus.
Also, handle rounding effect of adding (ncores_local + ncores_busy) when
the local is fully idle and busy group imbalance is less than 2 tasks.
Local group should try to pull at least 1 task in this case so imbalance
should be set to 2 instead.

should_we_balance() is called in load_balance() to find out if the CPU that
is trying to do the load balance is the right one or not.
With commit:
b1bfeab9b002("sched/fair: Consider the idle state of the whole core for load balance")
the code tries to find an idle core to do the load balancing
and falls back on an idle sibling CPU if there is no idle core.
However, on larger SMT systems, it could be needlessly iterating to find a
idle by scanning all the CPUs in an non-idle core. If the core is not idle,
and first SMT sibling which is idle has been found, then its not needed to
check other SMT siblings for idleness
Lets say in SMT4, Core0 has 0,2,4,6 and CPU0 is BUSY and rest are IDLE.
balancing domain is MC/DIE. CPU2 will be set as the first idle_smt and
same process would be repeated for CPU4 and CPU6 but this is unnecessary.
Since calling is_core_idle loops through all CPU's in the SMT mask, effect
is multiplied by weight of smt_mask. For example,when say 1 CPU is busy,
we would skip loop for 2 CPU's and skip iterating over 8CPU's. That
effect would be more in DIE/NUMA domain where there are more cores.
Testing and performance evaluation
==================================
The test has been done on this system which has 12 cores, i.e 24 small
cores with SMT=4:
lscpu
Architecture: ppc64le
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 96
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-95
Model name: POWER10 (architected), altivec supported
Thread(s) per core: 8
Used funclatency bcc tool to evaluate the time taken by should_we_balance(). For
base tip/sched/core the time taken is collected by making the
should_we_balance() noinline. time is in nanoseconds. The values are
collected by running the funclatency tracer for 60 seconds. values are
average of 3 such runs. This represents the expected reduced time with
patch.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
Deadline First") scheduler
EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It
completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking
-- everything
LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:
https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a
fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and
the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is
less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or
replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs
In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix
everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but
in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got
lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We
are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of
that process
- Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
scheduling (again)
- Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems
- Improve bandwidth-throttling

Mike and others noticed that EEVDF does like to over-schedule quite a
bit -- which does hurt performance of a number of benchmarks /
workloads.
In particular, what seems to cause over-scheduling is that when lag is
of the same order (or larger) than the request / slice then placement
will not only cause the task to be placed left of current, but also
with a smaller deadline than current, which causes immediate
preemption.
[ notably, lag bounds are relative to HZ ]
Mike suggested we stick to picking 'current' for as long as it's
eligible to run, giving it uninterrupted runtime until it reaches
parity with the pack.
Augment Mike's suggestion by only allowing it to exhaust it's initial
request.

The sched_rr_timeslice can be reset to default by writing value that is
<= 0. However after reading from this file we always got the last value
written, which is not useful at all.
$ echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
-1
Fix this by setting the variable that holds the sysctl file value to the
jiffies_to_msecs(RR_TIMESLICE) in case that <= 0 value was written.

There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the
sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y.
This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01:
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90
What this test does is to compare the return value from the
sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and
fails if they do not match.
The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as:
static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE;
which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it
introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300:
(MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000)
(1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000)
3 * 30 = 90
This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication
and division. After this fix we get:
(MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ
(1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300
(1000 * 30) / 300 = 100

CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together. Tasks
can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does
accounting. This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such
tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting
requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick
be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there
are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime
bandwidth is expected to be enforced.
Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting
TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with
runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to
determine if the task requires the tick.
Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where
we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running.
Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such
as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.

In cgroupv2 cfs_b->hierarchical_quota is set to -1 for all task
groups due to the previous fix simply taking the min. It should
reflect a limit imposed at that level or by an ancestor. Even
though cgroupv2 does not require child quota to be less than or
equal to that of its ancestors the task group will still be
constrained by such a quota so this should be shown here. Cgroupv1
continues to set this correctly.
In both cases, add initialization when a new task group is created
based on the current parent's value (or RUNTIME_INF in the case of
root_task_group). Otherwise, the field is wrong until a quota is
changed after creation and __cfs_schedulable() is called.

There is no need to use runnable_avg when estimating util_est and that
even generates wrong behavior because one includes blocked tasks whereas
the other one doesn't. This can lead to accounting twice the waking task p,
once with the blocked runnable_avg and another one when adding its
util_est.
cpu's runnable_avg is already used when computing util_avg which is then
compared with util_est.
In some situation, feec will not select prev_cpu but another one on the

Removes the FAIR_SLEEPERS code in favour of the new LAG based
placement.
Specifically, the whole FAIR_SLEEPER thing was a very crude
approximation to make up for the lack of lag based placement,
specifically the 'service owed' part. This is important for things
like 'starve' and 'hackbench'.
One side effect of FAIR_SLEEPER is that it caused 'small' unfairness,
specifically, by always ignoring up-to 'thresh' sleeptime it would
have a 50%/50% time distribution for a 50% sleeper vs a 100% runner,
while strictly speaking this should (of course) result in a 33%/67%
split (as CFS will also do if the sleep period exceeds 'thresh').

Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob,
the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter,
makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit.
Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the
tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a
virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well,
which is what allows over-subscription.
EEVDF has two parameters:
- weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before
- request size, or slice length: which is used to compute
the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i
Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier
and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier.
Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while
wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline.
Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the
selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a
problem.

In order to move to an eligibility based scheduling policy, we need
to have a better approximation of the ideal scheduler.
Specifically, for a virtual time weighted fair queueing based
scheduler the ideal scheduler will be the weighted average of the
individual virtual runtimes (math in the comment).
As such, compute the weighted average to approximate the ideal
scheduler -- note that the approximation is in the individual task
behaviour, which isn't strictly conformant.
Specifically consider adding a task with a vruntime left of center, in
this case the average will move backwards in time -- something the
ideal scheduler would of course never do.

Add complete_on_current_cpu, wake_up_poll_on_current_cpu helpers to wake
up tasks on the current CPU.
These two helpers are useful when the task needs to make a synchronous context
switch to another task. In this context, synchronous means it wakes up the
target task and falls asleep right after that.
One example of such workloads is seccomp user notifies. This mechanism allows
the supervisor process handles system calls on behalf of a target process.
While the supervisor is handling an intercepted system call, the target process
will be blocked in the kernel, waiting for a response to come back.

should_we_balance() traverses the group_balance_mask (AND'ed with lb_env::
cpus) starting from lower numbered CPUs looking for the first idle CPU.
In hybrid x86 systems, the siblings of SMT cores get CPU numbers, before
non-SMT cores:
[0, 1] [2, 3] [4, 5] 6 7 8 9
b i b i b i b i i i
In the figure above, CPUs in brackets are siblings of an SMT core. The
rest are non-SMT cores. 'b' indicates a busy CPU, 'i' indicates an
idle CPU.
We should let a CPU on a fully idle core get the first chance to idle
load balance as it has more CPU capacity than a CPU on an idle SMT
CPU with busy sibling. So for the figure above, if we are running
should_we_balance() to CPU 1, we should return false to let CPU 7 on
idle core to have a chance first to idle load balance.
A partially busy (i.e., of type group_has_spare) local group with SMT
cores will often have only one SMT sibling busy. If the destination CPU
is a non-SMT core, partially busy, lower-numbered, SMT cores should not
be considered when finding the first idle CPU.
However, in should_we_balance(), when we encounter idle SMT first in partially
busy core, we prematurely break the search for the first idle CPU.
Higher-numbered, non-SMT cores is not given the chance to have
idle balance done on their behalf. Those CPUs will only be considered
for idle balancing by chance via CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.
Instead, consider the idle state of the whole SMT core.

asymmetric groups
In the current prefer sibling load balancing code, there is an implicit
assumption that the busiest sched group and local sched group are
equivalent, hence the tasks to be moved is simply the difference in
number of tasks between the two groups (i.e. imbalance) divided by two.
However, we may have different number of cores between the cluster groups,
say when we take CPU offline or we have hybrid groups. In that case,
we should balance between the two groups such that #tasks/#cores ratio
is the same between the same between both groups. Hence the imbalance
computed will need to reflect this.
Adjust the sibling imbalance computation to take into account of the
above considerations.

On hybrid CPUs with scheduling cluster enabled, we will need to
consider balancing between SMT CPU cluster, and Atom core cluster.
Below shows such a hybrid x86 CPU with 4 big cores and 8 atom cores.
Each scheduling cluster span a L2 cache.
--L2-- --L2-- --L2-- --L2-- ----L2---- -----L2------
[0, 1] [2, 3] [4, 5] [5, 6] [7 8 9 10] [11 12 13 14]
Big Big Big Big Atom Atom
core core core core Module Module
If the busiest group is a big core with both SMT CPUs busy, we should
active load balance if destination group has idle CPU cores. Such
condition is considered by asym_active_balance() in load balancing but not
considered when looking for busiest group and computing load imbalance.
Add this consideration in find_busiest_group() and calculate_imbalance().
In addition, update the logic determining the busier group when one group
is SMT and the other group is non SMT but both groups are partially busy
with idle CPU. The busier group should be the group with idle cores rather
than the group with one busy SMT CPU. We do not want to make the SMT group
the busiest one to pull the only task off SMT CPU and causing the whole core to
go empty.
Otherwise suppose in the search for the busiest group, we first encounter
an SMT group with 1 task and set it as the busiest. The destination
group is an atom cluster with 1 task and we next encounter an atom
cluster group with 3 tasks, we will not pick this atom cluster over the
SMT group, even though we should. As a result, we do not load balance
the busier Atom cluster (with 3 tasks) towards the local atom cluster
(with 1 task). And it doesn't make sense to pick the 1 task SMT group
as the busier group as we also should not pull task off the SMT towards
the 1 task atom cluster and make the SMT core completely empty.

As core scheduling introduced, a new state of idle is defined as
force idle, running idle task but nr_running greater than zero.
If a cpu is in force idle state, idle_cpu() will return zero. This
result makes sense in some scenarios, e.g., load balance,
showacpu when dumping, and judge the RCU boost kthread is starving.
But this will cause error in other scenarios, e.g., tick_irq_exit():
When force idle, rq->curr == rq->idle but rq->nr_running > 0, results
that idle_cpu() returns 0. In function tick_irq_exit(), if idle_cpu()
is 0, tick_nohz_irq_exit() will not be called, and ts->idle_active will
not become 1, which became 0 in tick_nohz_irq_enter().
ts->idle_sleeptime won't update in function update_ts_time_stats(), if
ts->idle_active is 0, which should be 1. And this bug will result that
ts->idle_sleeptime is less than the actual value, and finally will
result that the idle time in /proc/stat is less than the actual value.
To solve this problem, we introduce sched_core_idle_cpu(), which
returns 1 when force idle. We audit all users of idle_cpu(), and
change idle_cpu() into sched_core_idle_cpu() in function
tick_irq_exit().
v2-->v3: Only replace idle_cpu() with sched_core_idle_cpu() in
function tick_irq_exit(). And modify the corresponding commit log.

We currently export the total throttled time for cgroups that are given
a bandwidth limit. This patch extends this accounting to also account
the total time that each children cgroup has been throttled.
This is useful to understand the degree to which children have been
affected by the throttling control. Children which are not runnable
during the entire throttled period, for example, will not show any
self-throttling time during this period.
Expose this in a new interface, 'cpu.stat.local', which is similar to
how non-hierarchical events are accounted in 'memory.events.local'.

It is easy for a cfs_rq to become throttled even when it has no enqueued
entities (for example, if we have just put_prev()'d the last runnable
task of the cfs_rq, and the cfs_rq is out of quota).
Avoid accounting this time towards total throttle time, since it
otherwise falsely inflates the stats.
Note that the dequeue path is special, since we normally disallow
