sched: Split scheduler and execution contexts
Let's define the "scheduling context" as all the scheduler state in task_struct for the task chosen to run, which we'll call the donor task, and the "execution context" as all state required to actually run the task. Currently both are intertwined in task_struct. We want to logically split these such that we can use the scheduling context of the donor task selected to be scheduled, but use the execution context of a different task to actually be run. To this purpose, introduce rq->donor field to point to the task_struct chosen from the runqueue by the scheduler, and will be used for scheduler state, and preserve rq->curr to indicate the execution context of the task that will actually be run. This patch introduces the donor field as a union with curr, so it doesn't cause the contexts to be split yet, but adds the logic to handle everything separately.

In the v6.12 scheduler development cycle we had 63 commits from 18 contributors:
- Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot de Oliveira's
last major contribution to the kernel:
"SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low priority
tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU
cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE servers should be able to
replace and improve that."
(Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes,
Youssef Esmat, Huang Shijie)
- Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
- Use set_next_task(.first) where required
- Fix up set_next_task() implementations
- Clean up DL server vs. core sched
- Split up put_prev_task_balance()
- Rework pick_next_task()
- Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
- Rework dl_server
- Add put_prev_task(.next)
(Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)
- Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
- Implement delayed dequeue
- Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
- Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
- Document the new feature flags
- Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
- Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
- Misc debuggability enhancements
(Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann,
Valentin Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)
- Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks.
(Zhang Qiao)
- Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
(K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)
- Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
(Qais Yousef)
- Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
(Tianchen Ding)
- Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
parameters. (Christian Loehle)
- Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
the original change seems to be working fine.

hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values for realtime tasks
The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be delayed. This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks, the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values. This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored, as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK": Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)). The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users is removed as well.

sched/eevdf: Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
Allow applications to directly set a suggested request/slice length using
sched_attr::sched_runtime.
The implementation clamps the value to: 0.1[ms] <= slice <= 100[ms]
which is 1/10 the size of HZ=1000 and 10 times the size of HZ=100.
Applications should strive to use their periodic runtime at a high
confidence interval (95%+) as the target slice. Using a smaller slice
will introduce undue preemptions, while using a larger value will
increase latency.
For all the following examples assume a scheduling quantum of 8, and for
consistency all examples have W=4:
{A,B,C,D}(w=1,r=8):
ABCD...

A |--------------< A |--------------<
B |--------------< B |--------------<
C |------< C |------<
---+-------*-------+--- ---+-------+---*---+---
Note: 1 heavy task -- because q=8, double r such that the deadline of the w=2
task doesn't go below q.
Note: observe the full schedule becomes: W*max(r_i/w_i) = 4*2q = 8q in length.
Note: the period of the heavy task is half the full period at:
W*(r_i/w_i) = 4*(2q/2) = 4q

Note: 1 short task -- again double r so that the deadline of the short task
won't be below q. Made B short because its not the leftmost task, but is
eligible with the 0,1,2,3 spread.
Note: like with the heavy task, the period of the short task observes:
W*(r_i/w_i) = 4*(1q/1) = 4q

Note: as before but permuted
~~~
From all this it can be deduced that, for the steady state:
- the total period (P) of a schedule is: W*max(r_i/w_i)
- the average period of a task is: W*(r_i/w_i)
- each task obtains the fair share: w_i/W of each full period P

sched/rt: Rename realtime_{prio, task}() to rt_or_dl_{prio, task}()
Some find the name realtime overloaded. Use rt_or_dl() as an alternative, hopefully better, name.

sched/rt: Clean up usage of rt_task()
rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime' task, which includes RT and DL classes. Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it seemed a clean up is due. I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class. Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task() which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update the users that required the old behavior to use the new function. Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions. Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into account when choosing which function to use. Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is confusing against the new realtime_task(). No functional changes were intended.

sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to disallow specific tasks from joining SCHED_EXT
BPF schedulers might not want to schedule certain tasks - e.g. kernel
threads. This patch adds p->scx.disallow which can be set by BPF schedulers
in such cases. The field can be changed anytime and setting it in
ops.prep_enable() guarantees that the task can never be scheduled by
sched_ext.
scx_qmap is updated with the -d option to disallow a specific PID:
# echo $$
1092
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 0
ext.enabled : 0
# ./set-scx 1092
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 7
ext.enabled : 0
Run "scx_qmap -p -d 1092" in another terminal.
# cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/nr_rejected
1
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 0
ext.enabled : 0
# ./set-scx 1092
setparam failed for 1092 (Permission denied)
- v4: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core.
- v3: Update description to reflect /sys/kernel/sched_ext interface change.
- v2: Use atomic_long_t instead of atomic64_t for scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs to
accommodate 32bit archs.

sched_ext: Implement BPF extensible scheduler class
Implement a new scheduler class sched_ext (SCX), which allows scheduling
policies to be implemented as BPF programs to achieve the following:
1. Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration of new
scheduling policies.
2. Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which implement
policies that are not applicable to general-purpose schedulers.
3. Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
policies in production environments.
sched_ext leverages BPF’s struct_ops feature to define a structure which
exports function callbacks and flags to BPF programs that wish to implement
scheduling policies. The struct_ops structure exported by sched_ext is
struct sched_ext_ops, and is conceptually similar to struct sched_class. The
role of sched_ext is to map the complex sched_class callbacks to the more
simple and ergonomic struct sched_ext_ops callbacks.
For more detailed discussion on the motivations and overview, please refer
to the cover letter.
Later patches will also add several example schedulers and documentation.
This patch implements the minimum core framework to enable implementation of
BPF schedulers. Subsequent patches will gradually add functionalities
including safety guarantee mechanisms, nohz and cgroup support.
include/linux/sched/ext.h defines struct sched_ext_ops. With the comment on
top, each operation should be self-explanatory. The followings are worth
noting:
- Both "sched_ext" and its shorthand "scx" are used. If the identifier
already has "sched" in it, "ext" is used; otherwise, "scx".
- In sched_ext_ops, only .name is mandatory. Every operation is optional and
if omitted a simple but functional default behavior is provided.
- A new policy constant SCHED_EXT is added and a task can select sched_ext
by invoking sched_setscheduler(2) with the new policy constant. However,
if the BPF scheduler is not loaded, SCHED_EXT is the same as SCHED_NORMAL
and the task is scheduled by CFS. When the BPF scheduler is loaded, all
tasks which have the SCHED_EXT policy are switched to sched_ext.
- To bridge the workflow imbalance between the scheduler core and
sched_ext_ops callbacks, sched_ext uses simple FIFOs called dispatch
queues (dsq's). By default, there is one global dsq (SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL), and
one local per-CPU dsq (SCX_DSQ_LOCAL). SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL is provided for
convenience and need not be used by a scheduler that doesn't require it.
SCX_DSQ_LOCAL is the per-CPU FIFO that sched_ext pulls from when putting
the next task on the CPU. The BPF scheduler can manage an arbitrary number
of dsq's using scx_bpf_create_dsq() and scx_bpf_destroy_dsq().
- sched_ext guarantees system integrity no matter what the BPF scheduler
does. To enable this, each task's ownership is tracked through
p->scx.ops_state and all tasks are put on scx_tasks list. The disable path
can always recover and revert all tasks back to CFS. See p->scx.ops_state
and scx_tasks.
- A task is not tied to its rq while enqueued. This decouples CPU selection
from queueing and allows sharing a scheduling queue across an arbitrary
subset of CPUs. This adds some complexities as a task may need to be
bounced between rq's right before it starts executing. See
dispatch_to_local_dsq() and move_task_to_local_dsq().
- One complication that arises from the above weak association between task
and rq is that synchronizing with dequeue() gets complicated as dequeue()
may happen anytime while the task is enqueued and the dispatch path might
need to release the rq lock to transfer the task. Solving this requires a
bit of complexity. See the logic around p->scx.sticky_cpu and
p->scx.ops_qseq.
- Both enable and disable paths are a bit complicated. The enable path
switches all tasks without blocking to avoid issues which can arise from
partially switched states (e.g. the switching task itself being starved).
The disable path can't trust the BPF scheduler at all, so it also has to
guarantee forward progress without blocking. See scx_ops_enable() and
scx_ops_disable_workfn().
- When sched_ext is disabled, static_branches are used to shut down the
entry points from hot paths.
v7: - scx_ops_bypass() was incorrectly and unnecessarily trying to grab
scx_ops_enable_mutex which can lead to deadlocks in the disable path.
Fixed.
- Fixed TASK_DEAD handling bug in scx_ops_enable() path which could lead
to use-after-free.
- Consolidated per-cpu variable usages and other cleanups.
v6: - SCX_NR_ONLINE_OPS replaced with SCX_OPI_*_BEGIN/END so that multiple
groups can be expressed. Later CPU hotplug operations are put into
their own group.
- SCX_OPS_DISABLING state is replaced with the new bypass mechanism
which allows temporarily putting the system into simple FIFO
scheduling mode bypassing the BPF scheduler. In addition to the shut
down path, this will also be used to isolate the BPF scheduler across
PM events. Enabling and disabling the bypass mode requires iterating
all runnable tasks. rq->scx.runnable_list addition is moved from the
later watchdog patch.
- ops.prep_enable() is replaced with ops.init_task() and
ops.enable/disable() are now called whenever the task enters and
leaves sched_ext instead of when the task becomes schedulable on
sched_ext and stops being so. A new operation - ops.exit_task() - is
called when the task stops being schedulable on sched_ext.
- scx_bpf_dispatch() can now be called from ops.select_cpu() too. This
removes the need for communicating local dispatch decision made by
ops.select_cpu() to ops.enqueue() via per-task storage.
SCX_KF_SELECT_CPU is added to support the change.
- SCX_TASK_ENQ_LOCAL which told the BPF scheudler that
scx_select_cpu_dfl() wants the task to be dispatched to the local DSQ
was removed. Instead, scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() now dispatches directly
if it finds a suitable idle CPU. If such behavior is not desired,
users can use scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() which returns the verdict in a
bool out param.
- scx_select_cpu_dfl() was mishandling WAKE_SYNC and could end up
queueing many tasks on a local DSQ which makes tasks to execute in
order while other CPUs stay idle which made some hackbench numbers
really bad. Fixed.
- The current state of sched_ext can now be monitored through files
under /sys/sched_ext instead of /sys/kernel/debug/sched/ext. This is
to enable monitoring on kernels which don't enable debugfs.
- sched_ext wasn't telling BPF that ops.dispatch()'s @prev argument may
be NULL and a BPF scheduler which derefs the pointer without checking
could crash the kernel. Tell BPF. This is currently a bit ugly. A
better way to annotate this is expected in the future.
- scx_exit_info updated to carry pointers to message buffers instead of
embedding them directly. This decouples buffer sizes from API so that
they can be changed without breaking compatibility.
- exit_code added to scx_exit_info. This is used to indicate different
exit conditions on non-error exits and will be used to handle e.g. CPU
hotplugs.
- The patch "sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to switch all eligible
tasks into sched_ext" is folded in and the interface is changed so
that partial switching is indicated with a new ops flag
%SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL. This makes scx_bpf_switch_all() unnecessasry
and in turn SCX_KF_INIT. ops.init() is now called with
SCX_KF_SLEEPABLE.
- Code reorganized so that only the parts necessary to integrate with
the rest of the kernel are in the header files.
- Changes to reflect the BPF and other kernel changes including the
addition of bpf_sched_ext_ops.cfi_stubs.
v5: - To accommodate 32bit configs, p->scx.ops_state is now atomic_long_t
instead of atomic64_t and scx_dsp_buf_ent.qseq which uses
load_acquire/store_release is now unsigned long instead of u64.
- Fix the bug where bpf_scx_btf_struct_access() was allowing write
access to arbitrary fields.
- Distinguish kfuncs which can be called from any sched_ext ops and from
anywhere. e.g. scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu() can now be called only from
sched_ext ops.
- Rename "type" to "kind" in scx_exit_info to make it easier to use on
languages in which "type" is a reserved keyword.
- Since

sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()
RT, DL, thermal and irq load and utilization metrics need to be decayed and updated periodically and before consumption to keep the numbers reasonable. This is currently done from __update_blocked_others() as a part of the fair class load balance path. Let's factor it out to update_other_load_avgs(). Pure refactor. No functional changes. This will be used by the new BPF extensible scheduling class to ensure that the above metrics are properly maintained. v2: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core.

sched: Add sched_class->switching_to() and expose check_class_changing/changed()
When a task switches to a new sched_class, the prev and new classes are notified through ->switched_from() and ->switched_to(), respectively, after the switching is done. A new BPF extensible sched_class will have callbacks that allow the BPF scheduler to keep track of relevant task states (like priority and cpumask). Those callbacks aren't called while a task is on a different sched_class. When a task comes back, we wanna tell the BPF progs the up-to-date state before the task gets enqueued, so we need a hook which is called before the switching is committed. This patch adds ->switching_to() which is called during sched_class switch through check_class_changing() before the task is restored. Also, this patch exposes check_class_changing/changed() in kernel/sched/sched.h. They will be used by the new BPF extensible sched_class to implement implicit sched_class switching which is used e.g. when falling back to CFS when the BPF scheduler fails or unloads. This is a prep patch and doesn't cause any behavior changes. The new operation and exposed functions aren't used yet. v3: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core. v2: Improve patch description w/ details on planned use.

sched/syscalls: Split out kernel/sched/syscalls.c from kernel/sched/core.c
core.c has become rather large, move most scheduler syscall
related functionality into a separate file, syscalls.c.
This is about ~15% of core.c's raw linecount.
Move the alloc_user_cpus_ptr(), __rt_effective_prio(),
rt_effective_prio(), uclamp_none(), uclamp_se_set()
and uclamp_bucket_id() inlines to kernel/sched/sched.h.
Internally export the __sched_setscheduler(), __sched_setaffinity(),
__setscheduler_prio(), set_load_weight(), enqueue_task(), dequeue_task(),
check_class_changed(), splice_balance_callbacks() and balance_callbacks()
methods to better facilitate this.
Move the new file's build to sched_policy.c, because it fits there
semantically, but also because it's the smallest of the 4 build units
under an allmodconfig build:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 7.3M May 27 12:35 kernel/sched/core.i
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 6.4M May 27 12:36 kernel/sched/build_utility.i
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 6.3M May 27 12:36 kernel/sched/fair.i
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 5.8M May 27 12:36 kernel/sched/build_policy.i
This better balances build time for scheduler subsystem rebuilds.
I build-tested this new file as a standalone syscalls.o file for a bit,
to make sure all the encapsulations & abstractions are robust.
Also update/add my copyright notices to these files.
Build time measurements:
# -Before/+After:
kepler:~/tip> perf stat -e 'cycles,instructions,duration_time' --sync --repeat 5 --pre 'rm -f kernel/sched/*.o' m kernel/sched/built-in.a >/dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'm kernel/sched/built-in.a' (5 runs):
- 71,938,508,607 cycles ( +- 0.17% )
+ 71,992,916,493 cycles ( +- 0.22% )
- 106,214,780,964 instructions # 1.48 insn per cycle ( +- 0.01% )
+ 105,450,231,154 instructions # 1.46 insn per cycle ( +- 0.01% )

- 5.8782 +- 0.0221 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% )
+ 5.2901 +- 0.0111 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.21% )
Build time improvement of -11.1% (duration_time) is expected: the
parallel build time of the scheduler subsystem is determined by the
largest, slowest to build object file, which is kernel/sched/core.o.
By moving ~15% of its complexity into another build unit, we reduced
build time by -11%.
Measured cycles spent on building is within its ~0.2% stddev noise envelope.
The -0.7% reduction in instructions spent on building the scheduler is
statistically reliable and somewhat surprising - I can only speculate:
maybe compilers aren't that efficient at building & optimizing 10+ KLOC files
(core.c), and it's an overall win to balance the linecount a bit.
Anyway, this might be a data point that suggests that reducing the linecount
of our largest files will improve not just code readability and maintainability,
but might also improve build times a bit.
Code generation got a bit worse, by 0.5kb text on an x86 defconfig build:

This is primarily due to the extra functions exported, and the size
gets exaggerated somewhat by __pfx CFI function padding:
ffffffff810cc710 <__pfx_enqueue_task>:
ffffffff810cc710: 90 nop
ffffffff810cc711: 90 nop

ffffffff810cc71d: 90 nop
ffffffff810cc71e: 90 nop
ffffffff810cc71f: 90 nop
AFAICS the cost is primarily not to core.o and fair.o though (which contain
most performance sensitive scheduler functions), only to syscalls.o
that get called with much lower frequency - so I think this is an acceptable
trade-off for better code separation.
