Fast switching path only emits an event for the CPU of interest, whereas the
regular path emits an event for all the CPUs that had their frequency changed,
i.e. all the CPUs sharing the same policy.
With the current behavior, looking at cpu_frequency event for a given CPU that
is using the fast switching path will not give the correct frequency signal.

If a task is PI-blocked (blocking on sleeping spinlock) then we don't want to
schedule a new kworker if we schedule out due to lock contention because !RT
does not do that as well. A spinning spinlock disables preemption and a worker
does not schedule out on lock contention (but spin).
On RT the RW-semaphore implementation uses an rtmutex so
tsk_is_pi_blocked() will return true if a task blocks on it. In this case we
will now start a new worker which may deadlock if one worker is waiting on
progress from another worker. Since a RW-semaphore starts a new worker on !RT,
we should do the same on RT.
XFS is able to trigger this deadlock.
Allow to schedule new worker if the current worker is PI-blocked.

Scheduling-clock interrupts can arrive late in the CPU-offline process,
after idle entry and the subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead().
Once execution passes the call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring
the CPU, which results in lockdep complaints when the interrupt handler
uses RCU:

This commit uses the crude but effective expedient of moving the disabling
of interrupts within the idle loop to precede the cpu_is_offline()
check. It also invokes tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() instead of
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick_protected() to shut off the scheduling-clock

To avoid reducing the frequency of a CPU prematurely, we skip reducing
the frequency if the CPU had been busy recently.
This should not be done when the limits of the policy are changed, for
example due to thermal throttling. We should always get the frequency
within the new limits as soon as possible.
Trying to fix this by using only one flag, i.e. need_freq_update, can
lead to a race condition where the flag gets cleared without forcing us
to change the frequency at least once. And so this patch introduces
another flag to avoid that race condition.

It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications
running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of
periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated
amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu
bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when
run on multiple cpu cores.
This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu
bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period.
At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused
slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for
which they are allocated.
The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by
'commit 512ac999d2 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift
condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since
at least 'commit 51f2176d74 ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b->quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That
added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being
expired.
if (cfs_rq->runtime_expires != cfs_b->runtime_expires) {
/* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */
cfs_rq->runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC;
Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed
and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion
that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed
altogether.
This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer
than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not
use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer
period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the
above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing
your cpu quota.
This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its
allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the
remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no
more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will
change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their
quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this
provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu
utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they
hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per
period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate
over longer timeframes.
This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound
applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count
machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on
80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance
improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.
That testcase is available at https://github.com/indeedeng/fibtest.

The current active_mm reference counting is confusing and sub-optimal.
Rewrite the code to explicitly consider the 4 separate cases:
user -> user
When switching between two user tasks, all we need to consider
is switch_mm().
user -> kernel
When switching from a user task to a kernel task (which
doesn't have an associated mm) we retain the last mm in our
active_mm. Increment a reference count on active_mm.
kernel -> kernel
When switching between kernel threads, all we need to do is
pass along the active_mm reference.
kernel -> user
When switching between a kernel and user task, we must switch
from the last active_mm to the next mm, hoping of course that
these are the same. Decrement a reference on the active_mm.
The code keeps a different order, because as you'll note, both 'to
user' cases require switch_mm().
And where the old code would increment/decrement for the 'kernel ->
kernel' case, the new code observes this is a neutral operation and
avoids touching the reference count.

FIFO-99 is the very highest priority available to SCHED_FIFO and
it not a suitable default; it would indicate the psi work is the

Since Real-Time tasks will have pre-allocated memory and locked it in

On !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED configurations it is currently not possible to
move RT tasks between cgroups to which CPU controller has been attached;
but it is oddly possible to first move tasks around and then make them
RT (setschedule to FIFO/RR).
E.g.:
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1
# chrt -fp 10 $$
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# chrt -op 0 $$
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
# chrt -fp 10 $$
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
2345
2598
# chrt -p 2345
pid 2345's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO
pid 2345's current scheduling priority: 10
Also, as Michal noted, it is currently not possible to enable CPU
controller on unified hierarchy with !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED (if there
are any kernel RT threads in root cgroup, they can't be migrated to the
newly created CPU controller's root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()).
Existing code comes with a comment saying the "we don't support RT-tasks
being in separate groups". Such comment is however stale and belongs to
pre-RT_GROUP_SCHED times. Also, it doesn't make much sense for
!RT_GROUP_ SCHED configurations, since checks related to RT bandwidth
are not performed at all in these cases.
Make moving RT tasks between CPU controller groups viable by removing
special case check for RT (and DEADLINE) tasks.

sched_tick_remote() to avoid mucking with the state of an offlined CPU
(though it does appear safe to do so). The sched_tick_start() and
sched_tick_stop() functions also update ->state, and sched_tick_start()
also schedules the delayed work if ->state indicates that it is not
already in flight.

The load_balance() has a dedicated mecanism to detect when an imbalance
is due to CPU affinity and must be handled at parent level. In this case,
the imbalance field of the parent's sched_group is set.
The description of sg_imbalanced() gives a typical example of two groups
of 4 CPUs each and 4 tasks each with a cpumask covering 1 CPU of the first
group and 3 CPUs of the second group. Something like:
{ 0 1 2 3 } { 4 5 6 7 }
* * * *
But the load_balance fails to fix this UC on my octo cores system
made of 2 clusters of quad cores.
Whereas the load_balance is able to detect that the imbalanced is due to
CPU affinity, it fails to fix it because the imbalance field is cleared
before letting parent level a chance to run. In fact, when the imbalance is
detected, the load_balance reruns without the CPU with pinned tasks. But
there is no other running tasks in the situation described above and
everything looks balanced this time so the imbalance field is immediately
cleared.
The imbalance field should not be cleared if there is no other task to move
when the imbalance is detected.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.
During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.
Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.
In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.
The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the
number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially. Without patch

"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"
