RT tasks by default run at the highest capacity/performance level. When
uclamp is selected this default behavior is retained by enforcing the
requested uclamp.min (p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) of the RT tasks to be
uclamp_none(UCLAMP_MAX), which is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; the maximum
value.
This is also referred to as 'the default boost value of RT tasks'.
See commit 1a00d99997 ("sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks").
On battery powered devices, it is desired to control this default
(currently hardcoded) behavior at runtime to reduce energy consumed by
RT tasks.
For example, a mobile device manufacturer where big.LITTLE architecture
is dominant, the performance of the little cores varies across SoCs, and
on high end ones the big cores could be too power hungry.
Given the diversity of SoCs, the new knob allows manufactures to tune
the best performance/power for RT tasks for the particular hardware they
run on.
They could opt to further tune the value when the user selects
a different power saving mode or when the device is actively charging.
The runtime aspect of it further helps in creating a single kernel image
that can be run on multiple devices that require different tuning.
Keep in mind that a lot of RT tasks in the system are created by the
kernel. On Android for instance I can see over 50 RT tasks, only
a handful of which created by the Android framework.
To control the default behavior globally by system admins and device
integrator, introduce the new sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
to change the default boost value of the RT tasks.
I anticipate this to be mostly in the form of modifying the init script
of a particular device.
To avoid polluting the fast path with unnecessary code, the approach
taken is to synchronously do the update by traversing all the existing
tasks in the system. This could race with a concurrent fork(), which is
dealt with by introducing sched_post_fork() function which will ensure
the racy fork will get the right update applied.
Tested on Juno-r2 in combination with the RT capacity awareness [1].
By default an RT task will go to the highest capacity CPU and run at the
maximum frequency, which is particularly energy inefficient on high end
mobile devices because the biggest core[s] are 'huge' and power hungry.
With this patch the RT task can be controlled to run anywhere by
default, and doesn't cause the frequency to be maximum all the time.
Yet any task that really needs to be boosted can easily escape this
default behavior by modifying its requested uclamp.min value
(p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) via sched_setattr() syscall.

The following commit:
14533a16c4 ("thermal/cpu-cooling, sched/core: Move the arch_set_thermal_pressure() API to generic scheduler code")
moved the definition of arch_set_thermal_pressure() to sched/core.c, but
kept its declaration in linux/arch_topology.h. When building e.g. an x86
kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE=y, cpufreq_cooling.c ends up
getting the declaration of arch_set_thermal_pressure() from
include/linux/arch_topology.h, which is somewhat awkward.
On top of this, sched/core.c unconditionally defines
o The thermal_pressure percpu variable
o arch_set_thermal_pressure()
while arch_scale_thermal_pressure() does nothing unless redefined by the
architecture.
arch_*() functions are meant to be defined by architectures, so revert the
aforementioned commit and re-implement it in a way that keeps
arch_set_thermal_pressure() architecture-definable, and doesn't define the
thermal pressure percpu variable for kernels that don't need
it (CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE=n).

In slow path, when selecting idlest group, if both groups have type
group_has_spare, only idle_cpus count gets compared.
As a result, if multiple tasks are created in a tight loop,
and go back to sleep immediately
(while waiting for all tasks to be created),
they may be scheduled on the same core, because CPU is back to idle
when the new fork happen.
For example:
sudo perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -- \
sysbench threads --threads=4 run
...
total number of events: 61582
...
sudo perf script
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.633466: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129380 [120] success=1 CPU:007
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.634718: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129381 [120] success=1 CPU:007
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.635957: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129382 [120] success=1 CPU:007
sysbench 129378 [006] 74586.637183: sched:sched_wakeup_new:
sysbench:129383 [120] success=1 CPU:007
This may have negative impact on performance for workloads with frequent
creation of multiple threads.
In this patch we are using group_util to select idlest group if both groups
have equal number of idle_cpus. Comparing the number of idle cpu is
not enough in this case, because the newly forked thread sleeps
immediately and before we select the cpu for the next one.
This is shown in the trace where the same CPU7 is selected for
all wakeup_new events.
That's why, looking at utilization when there is the same number of
CPU is a good way to see where the previous task was placed. Using
nr_running doesn't solve the problem because the newly forked task is not
running and the cpu would not have been idle in this case and an idle
CPU would have been selected instead.
With this patch newly created tasks would be better distributed.
With this patch:
sudo perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -- \
sysbench threads --threads=4 run
...
total number of events: 74401
...
sudo perf script

There is apparently one site that violates the rule that only current
and ttwu() will modify task->state, namely ptrace_{,un}freeze_traced()
will change task->state for a remote task.
Oleg explains:
"TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED was always protected by siglock. In
particular, ttwu(__TASK_TRACED) must be always called with siglock
held. That is why ptrace_freeze_traced() assumes it can safely do
s/TASK_TRACED/__TASK_TRACED/ under spin_lock(siglock)."
This breaks the ordering scheme introduced by commit:
dbfb089d36 ("sched: Fix loadavg accounting race")
Specifically, the reload not matching no longer implies we don't have
to block.
Simply things by noting that what we need is a LOAD->STORE ordering
and this can be provided by a control dependency.
So replace:
prev_state = prev->state;
raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock);
smp_mb__after_spinlock(); /* SMP-MB */
if (... && prev_state && prev_state == prev->state)
deactivate_task();
with:
prev_state = prev->state;
if (... && prev_state) /* CTRL-DEP */
deactivate_task();
Since that already implies the 'prev->state' load must be complete
before allowing the 'prev->on_rq = 0' store to become visible.

task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng
mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores
system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because
env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after
reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of
the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1.
misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such
situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem
because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous
system.
We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it
would imply to handle underflow in other places.

Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks
->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and
provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the

kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including
the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at:
https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git
A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be

There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/
While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/
To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.
As soon as the user start using util clamp by:
1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup
We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.
This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.
SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq->uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.
In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.
The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.

and 5.0) are fine with the 32 bytes alignment.
Getting this right is important for the new SCHED_DATA macro that
creates an explicitly ordered array of 'struct sched_class' in the
linker script and expect pointer arithmetic to work.

While integrating rseq into glibc and replacing glibc's sched_getcpu
implementation with rseq, glibc's tests discovered an issue with
incorrect __rseq_abi.cpu_id field value right after the first time
a newly created process issues sched_setaffinity.
For the records, it triggers after building glibc and running tests, and
then issuing:
for x in {1..2000} ; do posix/tst-affinity-static & done
and shows up as:
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
This is caused by the scheduler invoking __set_task_cpu() directly from
sched_fork() and wake_up_new_task(), thus bypassing rseq_migrate() which
is done by set_task_cpu().
Add the missing rseq_migrate() to both functions. The only other direct
use of __set_task_cpu() is done by init_idle(), which does not involve a
user-space task.
Based on my testing with the glibc test-case, just adding rseq_migrate()
to wake_up_new_task() is sufficient to fix the observed issue. Also add
it to sched_fork() to keep things consistent.
The reason why this never triggered so far with the rseq/basic_test
selftest is unclear.
The current use of sched_getcpu(3) does not typically require it to be
always accurate. However, use of the __rseq_abi.cpu_id field within rseq
critical sections requires it to be accurate. If it is not accurate, it
can cause corruption in the per-cpu data targeted by rseq critical
sections in user-space.

The recent commit:
c6e7bd7afa ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
moved these lines in ttwu():
p->sched_contributes_to_load = !!task_contributes_to_load(p);
p->state = TASK_WAKING;
up before:
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
into the 'p->on_rq == 0' block, with the thinking that once we hit
schedule() the current task cannot change it's ->state anymore. And
while this is true, it is both incorrect and flawed.
It is incorrect in that we need at least an ACQUIRE on 'p->on_rq == 0'
to avoid weak hardware from re-ordering things for us. This can fairly
easily be achieved by relying on the control-dependency already in
place.
The second problem, which makes the flaw in the original argument, is
that while schedule() will not change prev->state, it will read it a
number of times (arguably too many times since it's marked volatile).
The previous condition 'p->on_cpu == 0' was sufficient because that
indicates schedule() has completed, and will no longer read
prev->state. So now the trick is to make this same true for the (much)
earlier 'prev->on_rq == 0' case.
Furthermore, in order to make the ordering stick, the 'prev->on_rq = 0'
assignment needs to he a RELEASE, but adding additional ordering to
schedule() is an unwelcome proposition at the best of times, doubly so
for mere accounting.
Luckily we can push the prev->state load up before rq->lock, with the
only caveat that we then have to re-read the state after. However, we
know that if it changed, we no longer have to worry about the blocking
path. This gives us the required ordering, if we block, we did the
prev->state load before an (effective) smp_mb() and the p->on_rq store
needs not change.
With this we end up with the effective ordering:
LOAD p->state LOAD-ACQUIRE p->on_rq == 0
MB
STORE p->on_rq, 0 STORE p->state, TASK_WAKING
which ensures the TASK_WAKING store happens after the prev->state
load, and all is well again.

The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized
with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally
a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and
tasks are pulled less agressively.
Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there
is no waiting time so far.

Paul reported rcutorture occasionally hitting a NULL deref:
sched_ttwu_pending()
ttwu_do_wakeup()
check_preempt_curr() := check_preempt_wakeup()
find_matching_se()
is_same_group()
if (se->cfs_rq == pse->cfs_rq) <-- *BOOM*
Debugging showed that this only appears to happen when we take the new
code-path from commit:
2ebb177175 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling")
and only when @cpu == smp_processor_id(). Something which should not
be possible, because p->on_cpu can only be true for remote tasks.
Similarly, without the new code-path from commit:
c6e7bd7afa ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
this would've unconditionally hit:
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
and if: 'cpu == smp_processor_id() && p->on_cpu' is possible, this
would result in an instant live-lock (with IRQs disabled), something
that hasn't been reported.
The NULL deref can be explained however if the task_cpu(p) load at the
beginning of try_to_wake_up() returns an old value, and this old value
happens to be smp_processor_id(). Further assume that the p->on_cpu
load accurately returns 1, it really is still running, just not here.
Then, when we enqueue the task locally, we can crash in exactly the
observed manner because p->se.cfs_rq != rq->cfs_rq, because p's cfs_rq
is from the wrong CPU, therefore we'll iterate into the non-existant
parents and NULL deref.
The closest semi-plausible scenario I've managed to contrive is
somewhat elaborate (then again, actual reproduction takes many CPU
hours of rcutorture, so it can't be anything obvious):
X->cpu = 1
rq(1)->curr = X
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
// switch away from X
LOCK rq(1)->lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
dequeue_task(X)
X->on_rq = 9
switch_to(Z)
X->on_cpu = 0
UNLOCK rq(1)->lock
// migrate X to cpu 0
LOCK rq(1)->lock
dequeue_task(X)
set_task_cpu(X, 0)
X->cpu = 0
UNLOCK rq(1)->lock
LOCK rq(0)->lock
enqueue_task(X)
X->on_rq = 1
UNLOCK rq(0)->lock
// switch to X
LOCK rq(0)->lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
switch_to(X)
X->on_cpu = 1
UNLOCK rq(0)->lock
// X goes sleep
X->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
smp_mb(); // wake X
ttwu()
LOCK X->pi_lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
if (p->state)
cpu = X->cpu; // =? 1
smp_rmb()
// X calls schedule()
LOCK rq(0)->lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
dequeue_task(X)
X->on_rq = 0
if (p->on_rq)
smp_rmb();
if (p->on_cpu && ttwu_queue_wakelist(..)) [*]
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL)
cpu = select_task_rq(X, X->wake_cpu, ...)
if (X->cpu != cpu)
switch_to(Y)
X->on_cpu = 0
UNLOCK rq(0)->lock
However I'm having trouble convincing myself that's actually possible
on x86_64 -- after all, every LOCK implies an smp_mb() there, so if ttwu
observes ->state != RUNNING, it must also observe ->cpu != 1.
(Most of the previous ttwu() races were found on very large PowerPC)
Nevertheless, this fully explains the observed failure case.
Fix it by ordering the task_cpu(p) load after the p->on_cpu load,
which is easy since nothing actually uses @cpu before this.

syzbot reported the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6351 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:628
enqueue_task_dl+0x22da/0x38a0 kernel/sched/deadline.c:1504
At deadline.c:628 we have:

627
628 WARN_ON(dl_se->dl_boosted);
629 WARN_ON(dl_time_before(rq_clock(rq), dl_se->deadline));
[...]
}
Which means that setup_new_dl_entity() has been called on a task
currently boosted. This shouldn't happen though, as setup_new_dl_entity()
is only called when the 'dynamic' deadline of the new entity
is in the past w.r.t. rq_clock and boosted tasks shouldn't verify this
condition.
Digging through the PI code I noticed that what above might in fact happen
if an RT tasks blocks on an rt_mutex hold by a DEADLINE task. In the
first branch of boosting conditions we check only if a pi_task 'dynamic'
deadline is earlier than mutex holder's and in this case we set mutex
holder to be dl_boosted. However, since RT 'dynamic' deadlines are only
initialized if such tasks get boosted at some point (or if they become
DEADLINE of course), in general RT 'dynamic' deadlines are usually equal
to 0 and this verifies the aforementioned condition.
Fix it by checking that the potential donor task is actually (even if
temporary because in turn boosted) running at DEADLINE priority before
using its 'dynamic' deadline value.

When a task has a runtime that cannot be served within the scheduling
deadline by any of the idle CPU (later_mask) the task is doomed to miss
its deadline.
This can happen since the SCHED_DEADLINE admission control guarantees
only bounded tardiness and not the hard respect of all deadlines.
In this case try to select the idle CPU with the largest CPU capacity
to minimize tardiness.
Favor task_cpu(p) if it has max capacity of !fitting CPUs so that
find_later_rq() can potentially still return it (most likely cache-hot)
early.

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling
algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization.
This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed
to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous
systems.
A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity
to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms
period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity).
Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission
control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if:
CPU original capacity / 1024 >= task runtime / task deadline
Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which
meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration.
On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission
control should be retained.

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) admission control ensures that
sum of reserved CPU bandwidth < x * M
where
x = /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_{runtime,period}_us
M = # CPUs in root domain.
DL admission control works well for homogeneous systems where the
capacity of all CPUs are equal (1024). I.e. bounded tardiness for DL
and non-starvation of non-DL tasks is guaranteed.
But on heterogeneous systems where capacity of CPUs are different it
could fail by over-allocating CPU time on smaller capacity CPUs.
On an Arm big.LITTLE/DynamIQ system DL tasks can easily starve other
tasks making it unusable.
Fix this by explicitly considering the CPU capacity in the DL admission
test by replacing M with the root domain CPU capacity sum.

Capacity-aware SCHED_DEADLINE Admission Control (AC) needs root domain
(rd) CPU capacity sum.
Introduce dl_bw_capacity() which for a symmetric rd w/ a CPU capacity
of SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE simply relies on dl_bw_cpus() to return #CPUs
multiplied by SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE.
For an asymmetric rd or a CPU capacity < SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE it
computes the CPU capacity sum over rd span and cpu_active_mask.
A 'XXX Fix:' comment was added to highlight that if 'rq->rd ==
def_root_domain' AC should be performed against the capacity of the
CPU the task is running on rather the rd CPU capacity sum. This
issue already exists w/o capacity awareness.

Return the weight of the root domain (rd) span in case it is a subset
of the cpu_active_mask.
Continue to compute the number of CPUs over rd span and cpu_active_mask
when in hotplug.

During sched domain init, we check whether non-topological SD_flags are
returned by tl->sd_flags(), if found, fire a waning and correct the
violation, but the code failed to correct the violation. Correct this.

With commit:
'b7031a02ec75 ("sched/fair: Add NOHZ_STATS_KICK")'
rebalance_domains of the local cfs_rq happens before others idle cpus have
updated nohz.next_balance and its value is overwritten.
Move the update of nohz.next_balance for other idles cpus before balancing
and updating the next_balance of local cfs_rq.
Also, the nohz.next_balance is now updated only if all idle cpus got a
chance to rebalance their domains and the idle balance has not been aborted
because of new activities on the CPU. In case of need_resched, the idle
load balance will be kick the next jiffie in order to address remaining
ilb.

This is a kernel enhancement that configures the cpu affinity of kernel
threads via kernel boot option nohz_full=.
When this option is specified, the cpumask is immediately applied upon
kthread launch. This does not affect kernel threads that specify cpu
and node.
This allows CPU isolation (that is not allowing certain threads
to execute on certain CPUs) without using the isolcpus=domain parameter,
making it possible to enable load balancing on such CPUs
during runtime (see kernel-parameters.txt).
Note-1: this is based off on Wind River's patch at
https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-integ/blob/master/kernel/kernel-std/centos/patches/affine-compute-kernel-threads.patch
Difference being that this patch is limited to modifying kernel thread
cpumask. Behaviour of other threads can be controlled via cgroups or
sched_setaffinity.
Note-2: Wind River's patch was based off Christoph Lameter's patch at
https://lwn.net/Articles/565932/ with the only difference being
the kernel parameter changed from kthread to kthread_cpus.

Each psi group requires a dedicated kthread_delayed_work and
kthread_worker. Since no other work can be performed using psi_group's
kthread_worker, the same result can be obtained using a task_struct and
a timer directly. This makes psi triggering simpler by removing lists
and locks involved with kthread_worker usage and eliminates the need for
poll_scheduled atomic use in the hot path.
