Dmitry Adamushko found that the current implementation of the RT
balancing code left out changes to the sched_setscheduler and
rt_mutex_setprio.
This patch addresses this issue by adding methods to the schedule classes
to handle being switched out of (switched_from) and being switched into
(switched_to) a sched_class. Also a method for changing of priorities
is also added (prio_changed).
This patch also removes some duplicate logic between rt_mutex_setprio and

We move the rt-overload data as the first global to per-domain
reclassification. This limits the scope of overload related cache-line
bouncing to stay with a specified partition instead of affecting all
cpus in the system.
Finally, we limit the scope of find_lowest_cpu searches to the domain
instead of the entire system. Note that we would always respect domain
boundaries even without this patch, but we first would scan potentially
all cpus before whittling the list down. Now we can avoid looking at
RQs that are out of scope, again reducing cache-line hits.
Note: In some cases, task->cpus_allowed will effectively reduce our search
to within our domain. However, I believe there are cases where the
cpus_allowed mask may be all ones and therefore we err on the side of
caution. If it can be optimized later, so be it.

This patch changes the searching for a run queue by a waking RT task
to try to pick another runqueue if the currently running task
is an RT task.
The reason is that RT tasks behave different than normal
tasks. Preempting a normal task to run a RT task to keep
its cache hot is fine, because the preempted non-RT task
may wait on that same runqueue to run again unless the
migration thread comes along and pulls it off.
RT tasks behave differently. If one is preempted, it makes
an active effort to continue to run. So by having a high
priority task preempt a lower priority RT task, that lower
RT task will then quickly try to run on another runqueue.
This will cause that lower RT task to replace its nice
hot cache (and TLB) with a completely cold one. This is
for the hope that the new high priority RT task will keep
its cache hot.
Remeber that this high priority RT task was just woken up.
So it may likely have been sleeping for several milliseconds,
and will end up with a cold cache anyway. RT tasks run till
they voluntarily stop, or are preempted by a higher priority
task. This means that it is unlikely that the woken RT task
will have a hot cache to wake up to. So pushing off a lower
RT task is just killing its cache for no good reason.

The current code base assumes a relatively flat CPU/core topology and will
route RT tasks to any CPU fairly equally. In the real world, there are
various toplogies and affinities that govern where a task is best suited to
run with the smallest amount of overhead. NUMA and multi-core CPUs are
prime examples of topologies that can impact cache performance.
Fortunately, linux is already structured to represent these topologies via
the sched_domains interface. So we change our RT router to consult a
combination of topology and affinity policy to best place tasks during
migration.

In the original patch series that Steven Rostedt and I worked on together,
we both took different approaches to low-priority wakeup path. I utilized
"pre-routing" (push the task away to a less important RQ before activating)
approach, while Steve utilized a "post-routing" approach. The advantage of
my approach is that you avoid the overhead of a wasted activate/deactivate
cycle and peripherally related burdens. The advantage of Steve's method is
that it neatly solves an issue preventing a "pull" optimization from being
deployed.
In the end, we ended up deploying Steve's idea. But it later dawned on me
that we could get the best of both worlds by deploying both ideas together,
albeit slightly modified.
The idea is simple: Use a "light-weight" lookup for pre-routing, since we
only need to approximate a good home for the task. And we also retain the
post-routing push logic to clean up any inaccuracies caused by a condition
of "priority mistargeting" caused by the lightweight lookup. Most of the
time, the pre-routing should work and yield lower overhead. In the cases
where it doesnt, the post-router will bat cleanup.

The current wake-up code path tries to determine if it can optimize the
wake-up to "this_cpu" by computing load calculations. The problem is that
these calculations are only relevant to SCHED_OTHER tasks where load is king.
For RT tasks, priority is king. So the load calculation is completely wasted
bandwidth.
Therefore, we create a new sched_class interface to help with
pre-wakeup routing decisions and move the load calculation as a function
of CFS task's class.

Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU.
It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the
same time. Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched. A
timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50.
Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the
system so it schedules softirq_sched to run. So we are in a situation
where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into
rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help.
This causes two problems in the current code:
1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue
up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded
task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task.
2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull
overloaded tasks over. It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the
overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before
overload even occurs.
This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming
weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask. A weight of 1 indicates that
the task cannot be migrated. We will then utilize this information to
skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts.
We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks
that are currently running. We only go into overload if we have more
than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable.
In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed
weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive.
We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be
relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency
in the fast path.

This patch adds an algorithm to push extra RT tasks off a run queue to
other CPU runqueues.
When more than one RT task is added to a run queue, this algorithm takes
an assertive approach to push the RT tasks that are not running onto other
run queues that have lower priority. The way this works is that the highest
RT task that is not running is looked at and we examine the runqueues on
the CPUS for that tasks affinity mask. We find the runqueue with the lowest
prio in the CPU affinity of the picked task, and if it is lower in prio than
the picked task, we push the task onto that CPU runqueue.
We continue pushing RT tasks off the current runqueue until we don't push any
more. The algorithm stops when the next highest RT task can't preempt any
other processes on other CPUS.
TODO: The algorithm may stop when there are still RT tasks that can be
migrated. Specifically, if the highest non running RT task CPU affinity
is restricted to CPUs that are running higher priority tasks, there may
be a lower priority task queued that has an affinity with a CPU that is
running a lower priority task that it could be migrated to. This
patch set does not address this issue.

Commit cfb5285660 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.
The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df6406), with
these differences:
- Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
2.6.25 after more discussions.
- Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
classes
- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
counter to be per-cpu
- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
kernel/sched.c)
The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.

There are two problems with balance_tasks() and how it used:
1. The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old
move_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the
active/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the
possibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either.
These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated
with their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong).
2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same
this_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or
there is a risk of moving too much load. E.g. if the highest priority
task on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt
class migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the
new highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class
initializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the
original highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being
held, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place.
This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and
excessive load being moved.
The attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to
best_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference
parameter to the various functions involved.
load_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is
only reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set. This should
preserve the effect of helping spread groups' higher priority tasks
around the available CPUs while improving system performance when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED isn't set.

The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct
capabilities:
1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run
queue to another; and
2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to
another.
The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance()
and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of
move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no
notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken.
The second capability is used in exactly one place,
active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as
before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure.
This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the
smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one
function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would
have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old
move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()). However, the new modular
design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted
and this patch addresses that solution by:
1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by
active_load_balance(); and
2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a
specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task()
or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance()
moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the
amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer
from the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and
slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of
sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations.
Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible
but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair()
so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted).
NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even
small reductions in overhead are worthwhile.
