There already are a few conditions in nohz_kick_needed() to ensure
a nohz kick is triggered, but they are not enough for some misfit
task scenarios. Excluding asym packing, those are:
- rq->nr_running >=2: Not relevant here because we are running a
misfit task, it needs to be migrated regardless and potentially through
active balance.
- sds->nr_busy_cpus > 1: If there is only the misfit task being run
on a group of low capacity CPUs, this will be evaluated to False.
- rq->cfs.h_nr_running >=1 && check_cpu_capacity(): Not relevant here,
misfit task needs to be migrated regardless of rt/IRQ pressure
As such, this commit adds an rq->misfit_task_load condition to trigger a
nohz kick.
The idea to kick a nohz balance for misfit tasks originally came from
Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>, and a similar patch was submitted for
the Android Common Kernel - see:

On asymmetric CPU capacity systems load intensive tasks can end up on
CPUs that don't suit their compute demand. In this scenarios 'misfit'
tasks should be migrated to CPUs with higher compute capacity to ensure
better throughput. group_misfit_task indicates this scenario, but tweaks
to the load-balance code are needed to make the migrations happen.
Misfit balancing only makes sense between a source group of lower
per-CPU capacity and destination group of higher compute capacity.
Otherwise, misfit balancing is ignored. group_misfit_task has lowest
priority so any imbalance due to overload is dealt with first.
The modifications are:
1. Only pick a group containing misfit tasks as the busiest group if the
destination group has higher capacity and has spare capacity.
2. When the busiest group is a 'misfit' group, skip the usual average
load and group capacity checks.
3. Set the imbalance for 'misfit' balancing sufficiently high for a task
to be pulled ignoring average load.
4. Pick the CPU with the highest misfit load as the source CPU.
5. If the misfit task is alone on the source CPU, go for active
balancing.

The current sg->min_capacity tracks the lowest per-CPU compute capacity
available in the sched_group when rt/irq pressure is taken into account.
Minimum capacity isn't the ideal metric for tracking if a sched_group
needs offloading to another sched_group for some scenarios, e.g. a
sched_group with multiple CPUs if only one is under heavy pressure.
Tracking maximum capacity isn't perfect either but a better choice for
some situations as it indicates that the sched_group definitely compute
capacity constrained either due to rt/irq pressure on all CPUs or
asymmetric CPU capacities (e.g. big.LITTLE).

To maximize throughput in systems with asymmetric CPU capacities (e.g.
ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider task and CPU utilization
as well as per-CPU compute capacity when load-balancing in addition to
the current average load based load-balancing policy. Tasks with high
utilization that are scheduled on a lower capacity CPU need to be
identified and migrated to a higher capacity CPU if possible to maximize
throughput.
To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: 'group_misfit_task'. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has one or more tasks that are not
suitable for its per-CPU capacity. 'group_misfit_task' is only considered
if the system is not overloaded or imbalanced ('group_imbalanced' or
'group_overloaded').
Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each CPU is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

It can happen that load_balance() finds a busiest group and then a
busiest rq but the calculated imbalance is in fact 0.
In such situation, detach_tasks() returns immediately and lets the
flag LBF_ALL_PINNED set. The busiest CPU is then wrongly assumed to
have pinned tasks and removed from the load balance mask. then, we
redo a load balance without the busiest CPU. This creates wrong load
balance situation and generates wrong task migration.
If the calculated imbalance is 0, it's useless to try to find a
busiest rq as no task will be migrated and we can return immediately.
This situation can happen with heterogeneous system or smp system when
RT tasks are decreasing the capacity of some CPUs.

When a task which previously ran on a given CPU is remotely queued to
wake up on that same CPU, there is a period where the task's state is
TASK_WAKING and its vruntime is not normalized. This is not accounted
for in vruntime_normalized() which will cause an error in the task's
vruntime if it is switched from the fair class during this time.
For example if it is boosted to RT priority via rt_mutex_setprio(),
rq->min_vruntime will not be subtracted from the task's vruntime but
it will be added again when the task returns to the fair class. The
task's vruntime will have been erroneously doubled and the effective
priority of the task will be reduced.
Note this will also lead to inflation of all vruntimes since the doubled
vruntime value will become the rq's min_vruntime when other tasks leave
the rq. This leads to repeated doubling of the vruntime and priority
penalty.
Fix this by recognizing a WAKING task's vruntime as normalized only if
sched_remote_wakeup is true. This indicates a migration, in which case
the vruntime would have been normalized in migrate_task_rq_fair().

update_blocked_averages() is called to periodiccally decay the stalled load
of idle CPUs and to sync all loads before running load balance.
When cfs rq is idle, it trigs a load balance during pick_next_task_fair()
in order to potentially pull tasks and to use this newly idle CPU. This
load balance happens whereas prev task from another class has not been put
and its utilization updated yet. This may lead to wrongly account running
time as idle time for RT or DL classes.
Test that no RT or DL task is running when updating their utilization in
update_blocked_averages().
We still update RT and DL utilization instead of simply skipping them to
make sure that all metrics are synced when used during load balance.

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

task_numa_find_cpu() helps to find the CPU to swap/move the task to.
It's guarded by numa_has_capacity(). However node not having capacity
shouldn't deter a task swapping if it helps NUMA placement.
Further load_too_imbalanced(), which evaluates possibilities of move/swap,
provides similar checks as numa_has_capacity.
Hence remove numa_has_capacity() to enhance possibilities of task
swapping even if load is imbalanced.

There are checks in migrate_swap_stop() that check if the task/CPU
combination is as per migrate_swap_arg before migrating.
However atleast one of the two tasks to be swapped by migrate_swap() could
have migrated to a completely different CPU before updating the
migrate_swap_arg. The new CPU where the task is currently running could
be a different node too. If the task has migrated, numa balancer might
end up placing a task in a wrong node. Instead of achieving node
consolidation, it may end up spreading the load across nodes.
To avoid that pass the CPUs as additional parameters.
While here, place migrate_swap under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

Currently preferred node is set to dst_nid which is the last node in the
iteration whose group weight or task weight is greater than the current
node. However it doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the numa capacity
to move. It also doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the best_cpu which
is the CPU/node ideal for node migration.
Lets consider faults on a 4 node system with group weight numbers
in different nodes being in 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 proportion. Consider the task
is running on 3 and 0 is its preferred node but its capacity is full.
Consider nodes 1, 2 and 3 have capacity. Then the task should be
migrated to node 1. Currently the task gets moved to node 2. env.dst_nid
points to the last node whose faults were greater than current node.
Modify to set the preferred node based of best_cpu. Earlier setting
preferred node was skipped if nr_active_nodes is 1. This could result in
the task being moved out of the preferred node to a random node during
regular load balancing.
Also while modifying task_numa_migrate(), use sched_setnuma to set
preferred node. This ensures out numa accounting is correct.

Currently load_too_imbalance() cares about the slope of imbalance.
It doesn't care of the direction of the imbalance.
However this may not work if nodes that are being compared have
dissimilar capacities. Few nodes might have more cores than other nodes
in the system. Also unlike traditional load balance at a NUMA sched
domain, multiple requests to migrate from the same source node to same
destination node may run in parallel. This can cause huge load
imbalance. This is specially true on a larger machines with either large
cores per node or more number of nodes in the system. Hence allow
move/swap only if the imbalance is going to reduce.

Reuse cpu_util_irq() that has been defined for schedutil and set irq util
to 0 when !CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
But the compiler is not able to optimize the sequence (at least with
aarch64 GCC 7.2.1):
free *= (max - irq);
free /= max;
when irq is fixed to 0
Add a new inline function scale_irq_capacity() that will scale utilization
when irq is accounted. Reuse this funciton in schedutil which applies
similar formula.

interrupt and steal time are the only remaining activities tracked by
rt_avg. Like for sched classes, we can use PELT to track their average
utilization of the CPU. But unlike sched class, we don't track when
entering/leaving interrupt; Instead, we take into account the time spent
under interrupt context when we update rqs' clock (rq_clock_task).
This also means that we have to decay the normal context time and account
for interrupt time during the update.
That's also important to note that because:
rq_clock == rq_clock_task + interrupt time
and rq_clock_task is used by a sched class to compute its utilization, the
util_avg of a sched class only reflects the utilization of the time spent
in normal context and not of the whole time of the CPU. The utilization of
interrupt gives an more accurate level of utilization of CPU.
The CPU utilization is:
avg_irq + (1 - avg_irq / max capacity) * /Sum avg_rq
Most of the time, avg_irq is small and neglictible so the use of the
approximation CPU utilization = /Sum avg_rq was enough.

When a new task wakes-up for the first time, its initial utilization
is set to half of the spare capacity of its CPU. The current
implementation of post_init_entity_util_avg() uses SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
directly as a capacity reference. As a result, on a big.LITTLE system, a
new task waking up on an idle little CPU will be given ~512 of util_avg,
even if the CPU's capacity is significantly less than that.
Fix this by computing the spare capacity with arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

When a cfs_rq is throttled, parent cfs_rq->nr_running is decreased and
everything happens at cfs_rq level. Currently util_est stays unchanged
in such case and it keeps accounting the utilization of throttled tasks.
This can somewhat make sense as we don't dequeue tasks but only throttled
cfs_rq.
If a task of another group is enqueued/dequeued and root cfs_rq becomes
idle during the dequeue, util_est will be cleared whereas it was
accounting util_est of throttled tasks before. So the behavior of util_est
is not always the same regarding throttled tasks and depends of side
activity. Furthermore, util_est will not be updated when the cfs_rq is
unthrottled as everything happens at cfs_rq level. Main results is that
util_est will stay null whereas we now have running tasks. We have to wait
for the next dequeue/enqueue of the previously throttled tasks to get an
up to date util_est.
Remove the assumption that cfs_rq's estimated utilization of a CPU is 0
if there is no running task so the util_est of a task remains until the
latter is dequeued even if its cfs_rq has been throttled.

I noticed that cgroup task groups constantly get throttled even
if they have low CPU usage, this causes some jitters on the response
time to some of our business containers when enabling CPU quotas.
It's very simple to reproduce:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo 100000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo $$ > tasks
then repeat:
cat cpu.stat | grep nr_throttled # nr_throttled will increase steadily
After some analysis, we found that cfs_rq::runtime_remaining will
be cleared by expire_cfs_rq_runtime() due to two equal but stale
"cfs_{b|q}->runtime_expires" after period timer is re-armed.
The current condition to judge clock drift in expire_cfs_rq_runtime()
is wrong, the two runtime_expires are actually the same when clock
drift happens, so this condtion can never hit. The orginal design was
correctly done by this commit:
a9cf55b28610 ("sched: Expire invalid runtime")
... but was changed to be the current implementation due to its locking bug.
This patch introduces another way, it adds a new field in both structures
cfs_rq and cfs_bandwidth to record the expiration update sequence, and
uses them to figure out if clock drift happens (true if they are equal).

When a task is enqueued the estimated utilization of a CPU is updated
to better support the selection of the required frequency.
However, schedutil is (implicitly) updated by update_load_avg() which
always happens before util_est_{en,de}queue(), thus potentially
introducing a latency between estimated utilization updates and
frequency selections.
Let's update util_est at the beginning of enqueue_task_fair(),
which will ensure that all schedutil updates will see the most
updated estimated utilization value for a CPU.

In the following commit:
247f2f6f3c70 ("sched/core: Don't schedule threads on pre-empted vCPUs")
... we distinguish between idle_cpu() when the vCPU is not running for
scheduling threads.
However, the idle_cpu() function is used in other places for
actually checking whether the state of the CPU is idle or not.
Hence split the use of that function based on the desired return value,
by introducing the available_idle_cpu() function.
This fixes a (slight) regression in that initial vCPU commit, because
some code paths (like the load-balancer) don't care and shouldn't care
if the vCPU is preempted or not, they just want to know if there's any
tasks on the CPU.

Threads share an address space and each can change the protections of the
same address space to trap NUMA faults. This is redundant and potentially
counter-productive as any thread doing the update will suffice. Potentially
only one thread is required but that thread may be idle or it may not have
any locality concerns and pick an unsuitable scan rate.
This patch uses independent scan period but they are staggered based on
the number of address space users when the thread is created. The intent
is that threads will avoid scanning at the same time and have a chance
to adapt their scan rate later if necessary. This reduces the total scan
activity early in the lifetime of the threads.
The different in headline performance across a range of machines and
workloads is marginal but the system CPU usage is reduced as well as overall
scan activity. The following is the time reported by NAS Parallel Benchmark
using unbound openmp threads and a D size class:
4.17.0-rc1 4.17.0-rc1

Time ua.D 400.58 ( 0.00%) 386.49 ( 3.52%)
Note it's not a universal win but we have no prior knowledge of which
thread matters but the number of threads created often exceeds the size
of the node when the threads are not bound. However, there is a reducation
of overall system CPU usage:
4.17.0-rc1 4.17.0-rc1
vanilla stagger-v1r1
sys-time-bt.D 48.78 ( 0.00%) 48.22 ( 1.15%)

sys-time-ua.D 51.52 ( 0.00%) 45.13 ( 12.40%)
NUMA scan activity is also reduced:
NUMA alloc local 1042828 1342670
NUMA base PTE updates 140481138 93577468
NUMA huge PMD updates 272171 180766

NUMA hint faults 1395972 1193897
NUMA hint local faults 877925 855053
NUMA hint local percent 62 71
NUMA pages migrated 12057909 9158023
Similar observations are made for other thread-intensive workloads. System
CPU usage is lower even though the headline gains in performance tend to be
small. For example, specjbb 2005 shows almost no difference in performance
but scan activity is reduced by a third on a 4-socket box. I didn't find
a workload (thread intensive or otherwise) that suffered badly.

This reverts commit 7347fc87dfe6b7315e74310ee1243dc222c68086.
Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show
a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling
active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent.
The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance
if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled,
the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent.
Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested,
using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new
numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a
revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine
and socket count.
The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby
wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the
appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where
a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did
not apply. This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke
all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that
specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately,
but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However,
the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious,
it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.

Call sync_entity_load_avg() directly from find_idlest_cpu() instead of
select_task_rq_fair(), as that's where we need to use task's utilization
value. And call sync_entity_load_avg() only after making sure sched
domain spans over one of the allowed CPUs for the task.

Rearrange select_task_rq_fair() a bit to avoid executing some
conditional statements in few specific code-paths. That gets rid of the
goto as well.
This shouldn't result in any functional changes.

With commit:
31e77c93e432 ("sched/fair: Update blocked load when newly idle")
... we release the rq->lock when updating blocked load of idle CPUs.
This opens a time window during which another CPU can add a task to this
CPU's cfs_rq.
The check for newly added task of idle_balance() is not in the common path.
Move the out label to include this check.

By renaming the functions we can get rid of the skip parameter
and have better code redability. It makes zero sense to have
things such as:
rq_clock_skip_update(rq, false)
When the skip request is in fact not going to happen. Ever. Rename
things such that we end up with:
rq_clock_skip_update(rq)
rq_clock_cancel_skipupdate(rq)

The estimated utilization of a task is currently updated every time the
task is dequeued. However, to keep overheads under control, PELT signals
are effectively updated at maximum once every 1ms.
Thus, for really short running tasks, it can happen that their util_avg
value has not been updates since their last enqueue. If such tasks are
also frequently running tasks (e.g. the kind of workload generated by
hackbench) it can also happen that their util_avg is updated only every
few activations.
This means that updating util_est at every dequeue potentially introduces
not necessary overheads and it's also conceptually wrong if the util_avg
signal has never been updated during a task activation.
Let's introduce a throttling mechanism on task's util_est updates
to sync them with util_avg updates. To make the solution memory
efficient, both in terms of space and load/store operations, we encode a
synchronization flag into the LSB of util_est.enqueued.
This makes util_est an even values only metric, which is still
considered good enough for its purpose.
The synchronization bit is (re)set by __update_load_avg_se() once the
PELT signal of a task has been updated during its last activation.
Such a throttling mechanism allows to keep under control util_est
overheads in the wakeup hot path, thus making it a suitable mechanism
which can be enabled also on high-intensity workload systems.
Thus, this now switches on by default the estimation utilization
scheduler feature.
