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.

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().

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().

The already combined ptr->field argument is actually more intuitive and

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and
the check for task->on_rq.
The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:
do {
schedule()
set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
} while (!cond);
The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax();
Analysis:
The instance I've seen involves the following race:
CPU1 CPU2
while () {
if (cond)
break;
do {
schedule();
set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
} while (!cond);
wakeup_routine()
spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process()
} try_to_wake_up()
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); ..
list_del(&waiter.list);
CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:
CPU3
wakeup_routine()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
if (!list_empty)
wake_up_process()
try_to_wake_up()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock)
..
if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup())
..
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax()
..
CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.
CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.
The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely
Reproduction of the issue:
The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.
Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

To be able to compare the capacity of the target CPU with the highest
available CPU capacity, store the maximum per-CPU capacity in the root
domain.
The max per-CPU capacity should be 1024 for all systems except SMT,
where the capacity is currently based on smt_gain and the number of
hardware threads and is <1024. If SMT can be brought to work with a
per-thread capacity of 1024, this patch can be dropped and replaced by a
hard-coded max capacity of 1024 (=SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

Add a topology flag to the sched_domain hierarchy indicating the lowest
domain level where the full range of CPU capacities is represented by
the domain members for asymmetric capacity topologies (e.g. ARM
big.LITTLE).
The flag is intended to indicate that extra care should be taken when
placing tasks on CPUs and this level spans all the different types of
CPUs found in the system (no need to look further up the domain
hierarchy). This information is currently only available through
iterating through the capacities of all the CPUs at parent levels in the
sched_domain hierarchy.
SD 2 [ 0 1 2 3] SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY
SD 1 [ 0 1] [ 2 3] !SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY
CPU: 0 1 2 3
capacity: 756 756 1024 1024
If the topology in the example above is duplicated to create an eight
CPU example with third sched_domain level on top (SD 3), this level
should not have the flag set (!SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) as its two group
would both have all CPU capacities represented within them.

Commit:
6e998916df ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")
fixed a problem whereby clock_nanosleep() followed by clock_gettime() could
allow a task to wake early. It addressed the problem by calling the scheduling
classes update_curr() when the cputimer starts.
Said change induced a considerable performance regression on the syscalls
times() and clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID). There are some
debuggers and applications that monitor their own performance that
accidentally depend on the performance of these specific calls.
This patch mitigates the performace loss by prefetching data in the CPU
cache, as stalls due to cache misses appear to be where most time is spent
in our benchmarks.
Here are the performance gain of this patch over v4.7-rc7 on a Sandy Bridge
box with 32 logical cores and 2 NUMA nodes. The test is repeated with a
variable number of threads, from 2 to 4*num_cpus; the results are in
seconds and correspond to the average of 10 runs; the percentage gain is
computed with (before-after)/before so a positive value is an improvement
(it's faster). The improvement varies between a few percents for 5-20
threads and more than 10% for 2 or >20 threads.

reproduced with cloning MMTests from github.com and running the "poundtime"
workload:
$ git clone https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests.git
$ cd mmtests
$ cp configs/config-global-dhp__workload_poundtime config
$ ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor $(uname -r)
The above will run "poundtime" measuring the kernel currently running on
the machine; Once a new kernel is installed and the machine rebooted,
running again
$ cd mmtests
$ ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor $(uname -r)
will produce results to compare with. A comparison table will be output
with:
$ cd mmtests/work/log
$ ../../compare-kernels.sh
the table will contain a lot of entries; grepping for "Amean" (as in
"arithmetic mean") will give the tables presented above. The source code
for the two benchmarks is reported at the end of this changelog for
clairity.
The cache misses addressed by this patch were found using a combination of
`perf top`, `perf record` and `perf annotate`. The incriminated lines were
found to be
struct sched_entity *curr = cfs_rq->curr;
and
delta_exec = now - curr->exec_start;
in the function update_curr() from kernel/sched/fair.c. This patch
prefetches the data from memory just before update_curr is called in the
interested execution path.
A comparison of the total number of cycles before and after the patch
follows; the data is obtained using `perf stat -r 10 -ddd <program>`
running over the same sequence of number of threads used above (a positive
gain is an improvement):

The move of calc_load_migrate() from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DYING did not take into
account that the function is now called from a thread running on the outgoing
CPU. As a result a cpu unplug leakes a load of 1 into the global load
accounting mechanism.
Fix it by adjusting for the currently running thread which calls
calc_load_migrate().

Currently, a schedule while atomic error prints the stack trace to the
kernel log and the system continue running.
Although it is possible to collect the kernel log messages and analyze
it, often more information are needed. Furthermore, keep the system
running is not always the best choice. For example, when the preempt
count underflows the system will not stop to complain about scheduling
while atomic, so the kernel log can wrap around overwriting the first
stack trace, tuning the analysis even more challenging.
This patch uses the kernel.panic_on_warn sysctl to help out on these
more complex situations.
When kernel.panic_on_warn is set to 1, the kernel will panic() in the
schedule while atomic detection.
The default value of the sysctl is 0, maintaining the current behavior.

A future patch needs rq->lock held _after_ we link the task_group into
the hierarchy. In order to avoid taking every rq->lock twice, reorder
things a little and create online_fair_sched_group() to be called
after we link the task_group.
All this code is still ran from css_alloc() so css_online() isn't in
fact used for this.

Vincent and Yuyang found another few scenarios in which entity
tracking goes wobbly.
The scenarios are basically due to the fact that new tasks are not
immediately attached and thereby differ from the normal situation -- a
task is always attached to a cfs_rq load average (such that it
includes its blocked contribution) and are explicitly
detached/attached on migration to another cfs_rq.
Scenario 1: switch to fair class
p->sched_class = fair_class;
if (queued)
enqueue_task(p);
...
enqueue_entity()
enqueue_entity_load_avg()
migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true)
if (migrated)
attach_entity_load_avg()
check_class_changed()
switched_from() (!fair)
switched_to() (fair)
switched_to_fair()
attach_entity_load_avg()
If @p is a new task that hasn't been fair before, it will have
!last_update_time and, per the above, end up in
attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_.
Scenario 2: change between cgroups
sched_move_group(p)
if (queued)
dequeue_task()
task_move_group_fair()
detach_task_cfs_rq()
detach_entity_load_avg()
set_task_rq()
attach_task_cfs_rq()
attach_entity_load_avg()
if (queued)
enqueue_task();
...
enqueue_entity()
enqueue_entity_load_avg()
migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true)
if (migrated)
attach_entity_load_avg()
Similar as with scenario 1, if @p is a new task, it will have
!load_update_time and we'll end up in attach_entity_load_avg()
_twice_.
Furthermore, notice how we do a detach_entity_load_avg() on something
that wasn't attached to begin with.
As stated above; the problem is that the new task isn't yet attached
to the load tracking and thereby violates the invariant assumption.
This patch remedies this by ensuring a new task is indeed properly
attached to the load tracking on creation, through
post_init_entity_util_avg().
Of course, this isn't entirely as straightforward as one might think,
since the task is hashed before we call wake_up_new_task() and thus
can be poked at. We avoid this by adding TASK_NEW and teaching
cpu_cgroup_can_attach() to refuse such tasks.

A new fair task is detached and attached from/to task_group with:
cgroup_post_fork()
ss->fork(child) := cpu_cgroup_fork()
sched_move_task()
task_move_group_fair()
Which is wrong, because at this point in fork() the task isn't fully
initialized and it cannot 'move' to another group, because its not
attached to any group as yet.
In fact, cpu_cgroup_fork() needs a small part of sched_move_task() so we
can just call this small part directly instead sched_move_task(). And
the task doesn't really migrate because it is not yet attached so we
need the following sequence:
do_fork()
sched_fork()
__set_task_cpu()
cgroup_post_fork()
set_task_rq() # set task group and runqueue
wake_up_new_task()
select_task_rq() can select a new cpu
__set_task_cpu
post_init_entity_util_avg
attach_task_cfs_rq()
activate_task
enqueue_task
This patch makes that happen.

The task_fork_fair() callback already calls __set_task_cpu() and takes
rq->lock.
If we move the sched_class::task_fork callback in sched_fork() under
the existing p->pi_lock, right after its set_task_cpu() call, we can
avoid doing two such calls and omit the IRQ disabling on the rq->lock.
Change to __set_task_cpu() to skip the migration bits, this is a new
task, not a migration. Similarly, make wake_up_new_task() use
__set_task_cpu() for the same reason, the task hasn't actually
migrated as it hasn't ever ran.
This cures the problem of calling migrate_task_rq_fair(), which does
remove_entity_from_load_avg() on tasks that have never been added to
the load avg to begin with.
This bug would result in transiently messed up load_avg values, averaged
out after a few dozen milliseconds. This is probably the reason why
this bug was not found for such a long time.

During CPU hotplug, CPU_ONLINE callbacks are run while the CPU is
online but not active. A CPU_ONLINE callback may create or bind a
kthread so that its cpus_allowed mask only allows the CPU which is
being brought online. The kthread may start executing before the CPU
is made active and can end up in select_fallback_rq().
In such cases, the expected behavior is selecting the CPU which is
coming online; however, because select_fallback_rq() only chooses from
active CPUs, it determines that the task doesn't have any viable CPU
in its allowed mask and ends up overriding it to cpu_possible_mask.
CPU_ONLINE callbacks should be able to put kthreads on the CPU which
is coming online. Update select_fallback_rq() so that it follows
cpu_online() rather than cpu_active() for kthreads.

Lengthy output of sysrq-w may take a lot of time on slow serial console.
Currently we reset NMI-watchdog on the current CPU to avoid spurious
lockup messages. Sometimes this doesn't work since softlockup watchdog
might trigger on another CPU which is waiting for an IPI to proceed.
We reset softlockup watchdogs on all CPUs, but we do this only after
listing all tasks, and this may be too late on a busy system.
So, reset watchdogs CPUs earlier, in for_each_process_thread() loop.

Commit:
e9532e69b8 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug")
... set rq->prev_* to 0 after a CPU hotplug comes back, in order to
fix the case where (after CPU hotplug) steal time is smaller than
rq->prev_steal_time.
However, this should never happen. Steal time was only smaller because of the
KVM-specific bug fixed by the previous patch. Worse, the previous patch
triggers a bug on CPU hot-unplug/plug operation: because
rq->prev_steal_time is cleared, all of the CPU's past steal time will be
accounted again on hot-plug.
Since the root cause has been fixed, we can just revert commit e9532e69b8.

Merge filesystem stacking fixes from Jann Horn.
* emailed patches from Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>:
sched: panic on corrupted stack end
ecryptfs: forbid opening files without mmap handler
proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top
Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops
handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in
turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be
overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt
context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info).
Just panic directly.

The 'schedstats=enable' option doesn't work, and also produces the

The problem is that it tries to update the 'sched_schedstats' static key
before jump labels have been initialized.
Changing jump_label_init() to be called earlier before
parse_early_param() wouldn't fix it: it would still fail trying to
poke_text() because mm isn't yet initialized.
Instead, just create a temporary '__sched_schedstats' variable which can
be copied to the static key later during sched_init() after jump labels
have been initialized.

Commit:
b5179ac70d ("sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration")
... introduced a bug: Mike Galbraith found that it introduced a
performance regression, while Paul E. McKenney reported lost
wakeups and bisected it to this commit.
The reason is that I mis-read ttwu_queue() such that I assumed any
wakeup that got a remote queue must have had the task migrated.
Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between
queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new
task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to
sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and
modified cacheline.

The following commit:
9642d18eee ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")'
intended to affine unpinned timers to housekeepers:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modified the
intention to:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
This patch fixes it by checking if there are busy housekeepers nearby,
otherwise falls to any housekeepers/itself. After the patch:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
