7400d3bbaa sched/fair: Avoid using decay_load_missed() with a negative value
decay_load_missed() cannot handle nagative values, so we need to prevent
using the function with a negative value.

6fe1f348b3 sched/cgroup: Fix cgroup entity load tracking tear-down
When a cgroup's CPU runqueue is destroyed, it should remove its
remaining load accounting from its parent cgroup.

The current site for doing so it unsuited because its far too late and
unordered against other cgroup removal (->css_free() will be, but we're also
in an RCU callback).

Put it in the ->css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup
destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to
userspace. The ->css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order
after the following v4.4 commit:

  aa226ff4a1 ("cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children")

4142c3ebb6 sched/numa: Spread memory according to CPU and memory use
The pseudo-interleaving in NUMA placement has a fundamental problem:
using hard usage thresholds to spread memory equally between nodes
can prevent workloads from converging, or keep memory "trapped" on
nodes where the workload is barely running any more.

In order for workloads to properly converge, the memory migration
should not be stopped when nodes reach parity, but instead be
distributed according to how heavily memory is used from each node.
This way memory migration and task migration reinforce each other,
instead of one putting the brakes on the other.

Remove the hard thresholds from the pseudo-interleaving code, and
instead use a more gradual policy on memory placement. This also
seems to improve convergence of workloads that do not run flat out,
but sleep in between bursts of activity.

We still want to slow down NUMA scanning and migration once a workload
has settled on a few actively used nodes, so keep the 3/4 hysteresis
in place. Keep track of whether a workload is actively running on
multiple nodes, so task_numa_migrate does a full scan of the system
for better task placement.

In the case of running 3 SPECjbb2005 instances on a 4 node system,
this code seems to result in fairer distribution of memory between
nodes, with more memory bandwidth for each instance.

cb2517653f sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.

This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.

The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.

These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

In constract, this shows a relatively steady 2-3% gain at higher thread
counts. Due to the nature of the patch and the type of workload, it's
not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

it's close to the noise. The UMA machine did not show anything particularly
different

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

As commit 1effd9f193 ("sched/numa: Fix unsafe get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign()") points out, the rcu_read_lock() cannot protect the
task_struct from being freed in the finish_task_switch(). And the bug
happens in the process of calculation of imp which requires the access of
p->numa_faults being freed in the following path:

do_exit()
        current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
    release_task()
        ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
    schedule()
    ...
    ...
rq->curr = next;
    context_switch()
        finish_task_switch()
            put_task_struct()
                __put_task_struct()
		    task_numa_free()

The fix here to get_task_struct() early before end of dst_rq->lock to
protect the calculation process and also put_task_struct() in the
corresponding point if finally the dst_rq->curr somehow cannot be
assigned.

Additional credit to Liang Chen who helped fix the error logic and add the
put_task_struct() to the place it missed.

0905f04eb2 sched/fair: Fix new task's load avg removed from source CPU in wake_up_new_task()
If a newly created task is selected to go to a different CPU in fork
balance when it wakes up the first time, its load averages should
not be removed from the source CPU since they are never added to
it before. The same is also applicable to a never used group entity.

Fix it in remove_entity_load_avg(): when entity's last_update_time
is 0, simply return. This should precisely identify the case in
question, because in other migrations, the last_update_time is set
to 0 after remove_entity_load_avg().

9e0e83a1ec sched/fair: Fix multiplication overflow on 32-bit systems
Make 'r' 64-bit type to avoid overflow in 'r * LOAD_AVG_MAX'
on 32-bit systems:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/sched/fair.c:2785:18
	signed integer overflow:
	87950 * 47742 cannot be represented in type 'int'

The most likely effect of this bug are bad load average numbers
resulting in weird scheduling. It's also likely that this can
persist for a longer time - until the system goes idle for
a long time so that all load avg numbers get reset.

[ This is the CFS load average metric, not the procfs output, which

aa0b7ae063 sched/fair: Disable the task group load_avg update for the root_task_group
Currently, the update_tg_load_avg() function attempts to update the
tg's load_avg value whenever the load changes even for root_task_group
where the load_avg value will never be used. This patch will disable
the load_avg update when the given task group is the root_task_group.

Running a Java benchmark with noautogroup and a 4.3 kernel on a
16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the amount of CPU time (as reported by
perf) consumed by task_tick_fair() which includes update_tg_load_avg()
decreased from 0.71% to 0.22%, a more than 3X reduction. The Max-jOPs
results also increased slightly from 983015 to 986449.

a426f99c91 sched/fair: Avoid redundant idle_cpu() call in update_sg_lb_stats()
Part of the responsibility of the update_sg_lb_stats() function is to
update the idle_cpus statistical counter in struct sg_lb_stats. This
check is done by calling idle_cpu(). The idle_cpu() function, in
turn, checks a number of fields within the run queue structure such
as rq->curr and rq->nr_running.

With the current layout of the run queue structure, rq->curr and
rq->nr_running are in separate cachelines. The rq->curr variable is
checked first followed by nr_running. As nr_running is also accessed
by update_sg_lb_stats() earlier, it makes no sense to load another
cacheline when nr_running is not 0 as idle_cpu() will always return
false in this case.

This patch eliminates this redundant cacheline load by checking the
cached nr_running before calling idle_cpu().

ad936d8658 sched/fair: Make it possible to account fair load avg consistently
The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair
class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a
task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair
class.

This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly
read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq,
ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time.

These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from
one another, so there is a definite bound on things.

3ea94de15c sched/core: Fix incorrect wait time and wait count statistics
At present scheduler resets task's wait start timestamp when the task
migrates to another rq.  This misleads scheduler itself into reporting
less wait time than actual by omitting time spent for waiting prior to
migration and also more wait count than actual by counting migration as
wait end event which can be seen by trace or /proc/<pid>/sched with
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y.

Carry forward migrating task's wait time prior to migration and
don't count migration as a wait end event to fix such statistics error.

In order to determine whether task is migrating mark task->on_rq with
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while dequeuing and enqueuing due to migration.

51170840fe sched/numa: Cap PTE scanning overhead to 3% of run time
There is a fundamental mismatch between the runtime based NUMA scanning
at the task level, and the wall clock time NUMA scanning at the mm level.
On a severely overloaded system, with very large processes, this mismatch
can cause the system to spend all of its time in change_prot_numa().

This can happen if the task spends at least two ticks in change_prot_numa(),
and only gets two ticks of CPU time in the real time between two scan
intervals of the mm.

This patch ensures that a task never spends more than 3% of run
time scanning PTEs. It does that by ensuring that in-between
task_numa_work() runs, the task spends at least 32x as much time on
other things than it did on task_numa_work().

This is done stochastically: if a timer tick happens, or the task
gets rescheduled during task_numa_work(), we delay a future run of
task_numa_work() until the task has spent at least 32x the amount of
CPU time doing something else, as it spent inside task_numa_work().
The longer task_numa_work() takes, the more likely it is this happens.

If task_numa_work() takes very little time, chances are low that that
code will do anything, but we will not care.

5954327548 sched/fair: Prepare __update_cpu_load() to handle active tickless
There are some cases where distance between ticks is more than one tick
while the CPU is not idle, e.g. full NOHZ.

However __update_cpu_load() assumes it is the idle tickless case if the
distance between ticks is more than 1, even though it can be the active
tickless case as well. Thus in the active tickless case, updating the CPU
load will not be performed correctly.

Where the current code assumes the load for each tick is zero, this is
(obviously) not true in non-idle tickless case. We can approximately
consider the load ~= this_rq->cpu_load[0] during tickless in non-idle
tickless case.

fde7d22e01 sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities
Commit:

  9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

led to an overly small weight for interactive group entities. The bad case
can be easily reproduced when a number of CPU hogs compete for the CPUs
at the same time (thanks to Mike). This is largly because the task group's
load average tracking cross CPUs lags behind the real changes.

To fix this we accelerate the group share distribution process by using
the load.weight of the cfs_rq. This may increase the entire group's
share, but we have to do so to protect the (fragile) interactive
tasks, especially from CPU hogs.

least one PTE that is still present and not marked for numa hint faulting.

It will skip over arbitarily large amounts of memory that are either
unused, full of swap ptes, or full of PTEs that were already marked
for NUMA hint faults but have not been faulted on yet.

This can cause excessive amounts of CPU use, due to there being
essentially no upper limit on the scan rate of very large processes
that are not yet in a phase where they are actively accessing old
memory pages (eg. they are still initializing their data).

Avoid that problem by placing an upper limit on the amount of virtual
memory that task_numa_work() scans in each invocation. This can be a
higher limit than "pages", to ensure the task still skips over unused
areas fairly quickly.

While we are here, also fix the "nr_pte_updates" logic, so it only
counts page ranges with ptes in them.

006cdf025a sched/fair: Optimize per entity utilization tracking
Currently the load_{sum,avg} and util_{sum,avg} tracking is asymmetric
in that load tracking gets a 2^10 unit from the weight, but util gets
no such factor.

This results in more lost bits for util scaling and asymmetric scaling
rules.

Fix this by removing shifts, such that we gain the 2^10 factor from
scaling. There is no risk of overflowing the u32 as the max value is
now LOAD_AVG_MAX << 10, which is still well below UINT_MAX.

This further entangles the assumption that both LOAD and CAPACITY
shifts are the same (and 10) so put in an assertion for that.

This fixes the math for the LOAD_RESOLUTION != 0 case.

6115c793ca sched/fair: Optimize __update_load_avg()
Prior to this patch; the line:

	scaled_delta_w = (delta_w * 1024) >> 10;

which is the result of the default arch_scale_freq_capacity()
function, turns into:

    1b03:	49 89 d1             	mov    %rdx,%r9
    1b06:	49 c1 e1 0a          	shl    $0xa,%r9
    1b0a:	49 c1 e9 0a          	shr    $0xa,%r9

Which is silly; when made unsigned int, GCC recognises this as
pointless ops and fails to emit them (confirmed on 4.9.3 and 5.1.1).

Furthermore, afaict unsigned is actually the correct type for these
fields anyway, as we've explicitly ruled out negative delta's earlier
in this function.

e3279a2e6d sched/fair: Make utilization tracking CPU scale-invariant
Besides the existing frequency scale-invariance correction factor, apply
CPU scale-invariance correction factor to utilization tracking to
compensate for any differences in compute capacity. This could be due to
micro-architectural differences (i.e. instructions per seconds) between
cpus in HMP systems (e.g. big.LITTLE), and/or differences in the current
maximum frequency supported by individual cpus in SMP systems. In the
existing implementation utilization isn't comparable between cpus as it
is relative to the capacity of each individual CPU.

Each segment of the sched_avg.util_sum geometric series is now scaled
by the CPU performance factor too so the sched_avg.util_avg of each
sched entity will be invariant from the particular CPU of the HMP/SMP
system on which the sched entity is scheduled.

With this patch, the utilization of a CPU stays relative to the max CPU
performance of the fastest CPU in the system.

In contrast to utilization (sched_avg.util_sum), load
(sched_avg.load_sum) should not be scaled by compute capacity. The
utilization metric is based on running time which only makes sense when
cpus are _not_ fully utilized (utilization cannot go beyond 100% even if
more tasks are added), where load is runnable time which isn't limited
by the capacity of the CPU and therefore is a better metric for
overloaded scenarios. If we run two nice-0 busy loops on two cpus with
different compute capacity their load should be similar since their
compute demands are the same. We have to assume that the compute demand
of any task running on a fully utilized CPU (no spare cycles = 100%
utilization) is high and the same no matter of the compute capacity of
its current CPU, hence we shouldn't scale load by CPU capacity.

8cd5601c50 sched/fair: Convert arch_scale_cpu_capacity() from weak function to #define
Bring arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in line with the recent change of its
arch_scale_freq_capacity() sibling in commit dfbca41f34 ("sched:
Optimize freq invariant accounting") from weak function to #define to
allow inlining of the function.

While at it, remove the ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feature as well. With the
change to #define there isn't a straightforward way to allow runtime
switch between an arch implementation and the default implementation of
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() using sched_feature. The default was to use
the arch-specific implementation, but only the arm architecture provides
one and that is essentially equivalent to the default implementation.

This commit ensures that NUMA hinting faults occur only on a NUMA system

This commit:

  - Makes sched_numa_balancing common to CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG and
    !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. Earlier it was only in !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.

  - Checks for sched_numa_balancing instead of sched_feat(NUMA).

c5afb6a87f sched/fair: Fix nohz.next_balance update
Since commit:

  d4573c3e1c ("sched: Improve load balancing in the presence of idle CPUs")

the ILB CPU starts with the idle load balancing of other idle CPUs and
finishes with itself in order to speed up the spread of tasks in all
idle CPUs.

The this_rq->next_balance is still used in nohz_idle_balance() as an
intermediate step to gather the shortest next balance before updating
nohz.next_balance. But the former has not been updated yet and is likely to
be set with the current jiffies. As a result, the nohz.next_balance will be
set with current jiffies instead of the real next balance date. This
generates spurious kicks of nohz ilde balance.

nohz_idle_balance() must set the nohz.next_balance without taking into
account this_rq->next_balance which is not updated yet. Then, this_rq will
update nohz.next_update with its next_balance once updated and if necessary.

daa59407b5 sched/fair: Unify switched_{from,to}_fair() and task_move_group_fair()
By observing that switched_from_fair() detaches from a runqueue, and
switched_to_fair() attaches to a runqueue, we can see that
task_move_group_fair() is one followed by the other with flipping the
runqueue in between.

Therefore extract all the common bits and implement all three
functions in terms of them.

This should fix a few corner cases wrt. vruntime normalization; where,
when we take a task off of a runqueue we convert to an approximation
of lag by subtracting min_vruntime, and when placing a task on the a
runqueue to the reverse.

6efdb105d3 sched/fair: Fix switched_to_fair()'s per entity load tracking
Where switched_from_fair() will remove the entity's load from the
runqueue, switched_to_fair() does not currently add it back. This
means that when a task leaves the fair class for a short duration; say
because of PI; we loose its load contribution.

This can ripple forward and disturb the load tracking because other
operations (enqueue, dequeue) assume its factored in. Only once the
runqueue empties will the load tracking recover.

When we add it back in, age the per entity average to match up with
the runqueue age. This has the obvious problem that if the task leaves
the fair class for a significant time, the load will age to 0.

Employ the normal migration rule for inter-runqueue moves in
task_move_group_fair(). Again, there is the obvious problem of the
task migrating while not in the fair class.

The alternative solution would be to to omit the chunk in
attach_entity_load_avg(), which would effectively reset the timestamp
and use whatever avg there was.
