Make the schedutil governor take the initial (default) value of the
rate_limit_us sysfs attribute from the (new) transition_delay_us
policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver).
That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default
values of rate_limit_us and reduce the default average time interval
between consecutive frequency changes.
Make intel_pstate set transition_delay_us to 500.

The schedutil governor reduces frequencies too fast in some
situations which cases undesirable performance drops to
appear.
To address that issue, make schedutil reduce the frequency slower by
setting it to the average of the value chosen during the previous
iteration of governor computations and the new one coming from its
frequency selection formula.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides:
- make the scheduler clock switch to unstable mode smooth so the
timestamps stay at microseconds granularity instead of switching to
tick granularity.
- unbreak perf test tsc by taking the new offset into account which
was added in order to proveide better sched clock continuity
- switching sched clock to unstable mode runs all clock related
computations which affect the sched clock output itself from a work
queue. In case of preemption sched clock uses half updated data and
provides wrong timestamps. Keep the math in the protected context
and delegate only the static key switch to workqueue context.
- remove a duplicate header include"

sched/clock: Fix broken stable to unstable transfer

When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and
we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable()
function is eventually called.
In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true:
sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset
But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values
from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and
instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod.
However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not
add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we
determine the boundaries for min/max clocks.
This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.

sugov_update_commit() calls trace_cpu_frequency() to record the
current CPU frequency if it has not changed in the fast switch case
to prevent utilities from getting confused (they may report that the
CPU is idle if the frequency has not been recorded for too long, for
example).
However, that may cause the tracepoint to be triggered quite often
for no real reason (if the frequency doesn't change, we will not
modify the last update time stamp and governor computations may
run again shortly when that happens), so don't do that (arguably, it
is done to work around a utilities bug anyway).
That allows code duplication in sugov_update_commit() to be reduced
somewhat too.

The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to
underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases.
That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on
a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with
it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs
were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum
P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case.
The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are
requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after
a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to
visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion
which clearly is not desirable.
That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task
migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be
reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens,
the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will
attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That
may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally
busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that
CPU already.
This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are
shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy
utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values
over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the
frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On
systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance
adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases.
On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization
metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose
frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if
that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future
and its frequency should not be reduced.
To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code.
Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the
current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced.
If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the
governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all
that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new
frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor
will skip the frequency update.

I was testing Daniel's changes with his test case, and tweaked it a
little. Instead of having the runtime equal to the deadline, I
increased the deadline ten fold.
Daniel's test case had:
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
To make it more interesting, I changed it to:
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 20 * 1000 * 1000; /* 20 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
The results were rather surprising. The behavior that Daniel's patch
was fixing came back. The task started using much more than .1% of the
CPU. More like 20%.
Looking into this I found that it was due to the dl_entity_overflow()
constantly returning true. That's because it uses the relative period
against relative runtime vs the absolute deadline against absolute
runtime.
runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_period
There's even a comment mentioning this, and saying that when relative
deadline equals relative period, that the equation is the same as using
deadline instead of period. That comment is backwards! What we really
want is:
runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_deadline
We care about if the runtime can make its deadline, not its period. And
then we can say "when the deadline equals the period, the equation is
the same as using dl_period instead of dl_deadline".
After correcting this, now when the task gets enqueued, it can throttle
correctly, and Daniel's fix to the throttling of sleeping deadline
tasks works even when the runtime and deadline are not the same.

During the activation, CBS checks if it can reuse the current task's
runtime and period. If the deadline of the task is in the past, CBS
cannot use the runtime, and so it replenishes the task. This rule
works fine for implicit deadline tasks (deadline == period), and the
CBS was designed for implicit deadline tasks. However, a task with
constrained deadline (deadine < period) might be awakened after the
deadline, but before the next period. In this case, replenishing the
task would allow it to run for runtime / deadline. As in this case
deadline < period, CBS enables a task to run for more than the
runtime / period. In a very loaded system, this can cause a domino
effect, making other tasks miss their deadlines.
To avoid this problem, in the activation of a constrained deadline
task after the deadline but before the next period, throttle the
task and set the replenishing timer to the begin of the next period,
unless it is boosted.
Reproducer:
--------------- %< ---------------
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int ret;
int flags = 0;
unsigned long l = 0;
struct timespec ts;
struct sched_attr attr;
memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr));
attr.size = sizeof(attr);
attr.sched_policy = SCHED_DEADLINE;
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */

ts.tv_nsec = 2000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
ret = sched_setattr(0, &attr, flags);
if (ret < 0) {

/* XXX: you may need to adjust the loop */

Currently, the replenishment timer is set to fire at the deadline
of a task. Although that works for implicit deadline tasks because the
deadline is equals to the begin of the next period, that is not correct
for constrained deadline tasks (deadline < period).
For instance:
f.c:
--------------- %< ---------------
int main (void)
{
for(;;);
}
--------------- >% ---------------
# gcc -o f f.c
# trace-cmd record -e sched:sched_switch \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_sched_setattr \
chrt -d --sched-runtime 490000000 \
--sched-deadline 500000000 \
--sched-period 1000000000 0 ./f
# trace-cmd report | grep "{pid of ./f}"
After setting parameters, the task is replenished and continue running
until being throttled:
f-11295 [003] 13322.113776: sys_exit_sched_setattr: 0x0
The task is throttled after running 492318 ms, as expected:
f-11295 [003] 13322.606094: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> watchdog/3:32 [0]
But then, the task is replenished 500719 ms after the first
replenishment:
<idle>-0 [003] 13322.614495: sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> f:11295 [-1]
Running for 490277 ms:
f-11295 [003] 13323.104772: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> swapper/3:0 [120]
Hence, in the first period, the task runs 2 * runtime, and that is a bug.
During the first replenishment, the next deadline is set one period away.
So the runtime / period starts to be respected. However, as the second
replenishment took place in the wrong instant, the next replenishment
will also be held in a wrong instant of time. Rather than occurring in
the nth period away from the first activation, it is taking place
in the (nth period - relative deadline).

'calc_load_update' is accessed without any kind of locking and there's
a clear assumption in the code that only a single value is read or
written.
Make this explicit by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), and avoid
unintentionally seeing multiple values, or having the load/stores
split.
Technically the loads in calc_global_*() don't require this since
those are the only functions that update 'calc_load_update', but I've

If we crossed a sample window while in NO_HZ we will add LOAD_FREQ to
the pending sample window time on exit, setting the next update not
one window into the future, but two.
This situation on exiting NO_HZ is described by:
this_rq->calc_load_update < jiffies < calc_load_update
In this scenario, what we should be doing is:
this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update [ next window ]
But what we actually do is:
this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update + LOAD_FREQ [ next+1 window ]
This has the effect of delaying load average updates for potentially
up to ~9seconds.
This can result in huge spikes in the load average values due to
per-cpu uninterruptible task counts being out of sync when accumulated
across all CPUs.
It's safe to update the per-cpu active count if we wake between sample
windows because any load that we left in 'calc_load_idle' will have
been zero'd when the idle load was folded in calc_global_load().
This issue is easy to reproduce before,
commit 9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")
just by forking short-lived process pipelines built from ps(1) and
grep(1) in a loop. I'm unable to reproduce the spikes after that
commit, but the bug still seems to be present from code review.

The loop in sugov_next_freq_shared() contains an if block to skip the
loop for the current CPU. This turns out to be an unnecessary
conditional in the scheduler's hot-path for every CPU in the policy.
It would be better to drop the conditional and make the loop treat all
the CPUs in the same way. That would eliminate the need of calling
sugov_iowait_boost() at the top of the routine.
To keep the code optimized to return early if the current CPU has RT/DL
flags set, move the flags check to sugov_update_shared() instead in
order to avoid the function call entirely.

The rate_limit_us tunable is intended to reduce the possible overhead
from running the schedutil governor. However, that overhead can be
divided into two separate parts: the governor computations and the
invocation of the scaling driver to set the CPU frequency. The latter
is where the real overhead comes from. The former is much less
expensive in terms of execution time and running it every time the
governor callback is invoked by the scheduler, after rate_limit_us
interval has passed since the last frequency update, would not be a
problem.
For this reason, redefine the rate_limit_us tunable so that it means the
minimum time that has to pass between two consecutive invocations of the
scaling driver by the schedutil governor (to set the CPU frequency).

Merge tag 'pm-4.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These fix several issues in the intel_pstate driver and one issue in
the schedutil cpufreq governor, clean up that governor a bit and hook
up existing code for disabling cpufreq to a new kernel command line
option.
Specifics:
- Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive mode
(in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two for the
handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling of the
cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and is
simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).
- Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar)"
* tag 'pm-4.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Do not reinit performance limits in ->setpolicy
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix intel_pstate_verify_policy()
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix global settings in active mode

The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.
That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc92783 "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).
It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code. The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.
Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.
We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops. But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"A fix for KVM's scheduler clock which (erroneously) was always marked
unstable, a fix for RT/DL load balancing, plus latency fixes"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

sched/core: Fix pick_next_task() for RT,DL
sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive
get_next_freq() uses sg_cpu only to get sg_policy, which the callers of
get_next_freq() already have. Pass sg_policy instead of sg_cpu to
get_next_freq(), to make it more efficient.

cached_raw_freq applies to the entire cpufreq policy and not individual
CPUs. Apart from wasting per-cpu memory, it is actually wrong to keep it
in struct sugov_cpu as we may end up comparing next_freq with a stale
cached_raw_freq of a random CPU.
Move cached_raw_freq to struct sugov_policy.

Move cputime related functionality out of <linux/sched.h>, as most code
that includes <linux/sched.h> does not use that functionality.
Move data types that are not included in task_struct directly to
the signal definitions, into <linux/sched/signal.h>.
Also merge the (small) existing <linux/cputime.h> header into <linux/sched/cputime.h>.

Pavan noticed that the following commit:
49ee576809 ("sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task() for idle_sched_class")
... broke RT,DL balancing by robbing them of the opportinty to do new-'idle'
balancing when their last runnable task (on that runqueue) goes away.

Kitsunyan reported desktop latency issues on his Celeron 887 because
of commit:
1b568f0aab ("sched/core: Optimize SCHED_SMT")
... even though his CPU doesn't do SMT.
The effect of running the SMT code on a !SMT part is basically a more
aggressive select_idle_cpu(). Removing the avg condition fixed things
for him.
I also know FB likes this test gone, even though other workloads like
having it.
For now, take it out by default, until we get a better idea.

Recent header reorganizations unearthed this hidden dependency:

kernel/sched/core.c:200:11: error: implicit declaration of function 'paravirt_steal_clock' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
So move the asm/paravirt.h include from kernel/sched/cpuclock.c to kernel/sched/sched.h.
( NOTE: We do this change before doing the changes that introduce the build failure,
so the series remains fully bisectable. )
