Add cpus_share_resources() API. This is the preparation for the
optimization of select_idle_cpu() on platforms with cluster scheduler
level.

On a machine with clusters cpus_share_resources() will test whether
two cpus are within the same cluster. On a non-cluster machine it
will behaves the same as cpus_share_cache(). So we use "resources"
here for cache resources.

5ebde09d91 sched/core: Fix RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak
Igor Raits and Bagas Sanjaya report a RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.

This warning may be triggered in the following situations:

    CPU0                                      CPU1

__schedule()
  *rq->clock_update_flags <<= 1;*   unregister_fair_sched_group()

      raw_spin_rq_lock(this_rq)

The purpose of RQCF_ACT_SKIP is to skip the update rq clock,
but the update is very early in __schedule(), but we clear
RQCF_*_SKIP very late, causing it to span that gap above
and triggering this warning.

In __schedule() we can clear the RQCF_*_SKIP flag immediately
after update_rq_clock() to avoid this RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.
And set rq->clock_update_flags to RQCF_UPDATED to avoid
rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning that may be triggered later.

f0498d2a54 sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplug
Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.

Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().

The race scenario is:

	CPU0					CPU1

					// doing _cpu_down()

  __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
    task_rq_lock();
					takedown_cpu()
					  stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)

					<PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()
					  MULTI_STOP_PREPARE
					  ...
    __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
      affine_move_task()
        task_rq_unlock();

  <PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\>
    ack_state()
					  MULTI_STOP_RUN
					    take_cpu_down()
					      __cpu_disable();
					      stop_machine_park();
						stopper->enabled = false;
					 />
   />
	stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
          if (stopper->enabled) // false!!!

That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.

OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.

Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:

	preempt_disable();
	task_rq_unlock(...);
	if (!stop_pending)
	  stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
	preempt_enable();

This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.

Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

7bc263840b sched/topology: Consolidate and clean up access to a CPU's max compute capacity
Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.

The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:

 - arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.

 - cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
   arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

 - capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.

There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:

 - either a per_cpu variable.

 - or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.

Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.

No functional changes.

Some performance tests on Arm64:

  - small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
  - HMP device (RB5):         hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
  - large smp (thx2):         hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)

The following commit:

... renamed try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() to task_call_func(),
but forgot to update the comment in try_to_wake_up().

But it turns out that the smp_rmb() doesn't live in task_call_func()
either, it was moved to __task_needs_rq_lock() in:

  91dabf33ae ("sched: Fix race in task_call_func()")

Fix that now.

Also fix the s/smb/smp typo while at it.

6b596e62ed sched: Provide rt_mutex specific scheduler helpers
With PREEMPT_RT there is a rt_mutex recursion problem where
sched_submit_work() can use an rtlock (aka spinlock_t). More
specifically what happens is:

  mutex_lock() /* really rt_mutex */
    ...
      __rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
	task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
          // enqueue current task as waiter
          // do PI chain walk
        rt_mutex_slowlock_block()
          schedule()
            sched_submit_work()
              ...
              spin_lock() /* really rtlock */
                ...
                  __rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
                    task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
                      // enqueue current task as waiter *AGAIN*
                      // *CONFUSION*

Fix this by making rt_mutex do the sched_submit_work() early, before
it enqueues itself as a waiter -- before it even knows *if* it will
wait.

   added ]]

cff9b2332a kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup
Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call
path sched_init() -> init_idle().  Having the task idle and calling
call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be
set.  Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs,
potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed.  Recent changes
have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early.

This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled
before they are fully set up.

Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence.

Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d,
I am not sure that it is wrong to do so.  The forced context-switch on
idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim
this fixes 5f6130fa52.

8f0eed4a78 freezer,sched: Use saved_state to reduce some spurious wakeups
After commit f5d39b0208 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic"),
tasks that transition directly from TASK_FREEZABLE to TASK_FROZEN  are
always woken up on the thaw path. Prior to that commit, tasks could ask
freezer to consider them "frozen enough" via freezer_do_not_count(). The
commit replaced freezer_do_not_count() with a TASK_FREEZABLE state which
allows freezer to immediately mark the task as TASK_FROZEN without
waking up the task.  This is efficient for the suspend path, but on the
thaw path, the task is always woken up even if the task didn't need to
wake up and goes back to its TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE state. Although
these tasks are capable of handling of the wakeup, we can observe a
power/perf impact from the extra wakeup.

We observed on Android many tasks wait in the TASK_FREEZABLE state
(particularly due to many of them being binder clients). We observed
nearly 4x the number of tasks and a corresponding linear increase in
latency and power consumption when thawing the system. The latency
increased from ~15ms to ~50ms.

Avoid the spurious wakeups by saving the state of TASK_FREEZABLE tasks.
If the task was running before entering TASK_FROZEN state
(__refrigerator()) or if the task received a wake up for the saved
state, then the task is woken on thaw. saved_state from PREEMPT_RT locks
can be re-used because freezer would not stomp on the rtlock wait flow:
TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT isn't considered freezable.

In preparation for freezer to also use saved_state, remove the
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT compilation guard around saved_state.

On the arm64 platform I tested which did not have CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT,
there was no statistically significant deviation by applying this patch.

cf8e865810 arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

3ca9a836ff Merge tag 'sched-core-2023-08-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
   SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
   Deadline First") scheduler

   EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
   and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It
   completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking
   -- everything

   LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/

   Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a
   fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and
   the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is
   less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or
   replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs

   In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix
   everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
   but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
   hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but
   in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got
   lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We
   are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
   regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of
   that process

 - Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
   scheduling (again)

 - Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems

 - Improve bandwidth-throttling

 - Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow

 - Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes

88c56cfeae sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in use
CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together.  Tasks
can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does
accounting.  This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such
tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting
requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick
be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there
are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime
bandwidth is expected to be enforced.

Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting
TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with
runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to
determine if the task requires the tick.

Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where
we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running.

Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such
as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.

c98c18270b sched, cgroup: Restore meaning to hierarchical_quota
In cgroupv2 cfs_b->hierarchical_quota is set to -1 for all task
groups due to the previous fix simply taking the min.  It should
reflect a limit imposed at that level or by an ancestor. Even
though cgroupv2 does not require child quota to be less than or
equal to that of its ancestors the task group will still be
constrained by such a quota so this should be shown here. Cgroupv1
continues to set this correctly.

In both cases, add initialization when a new task group is created
based on the current parent's value (or RUNTIME_INF in the case of
root_task_group). Otherwise, the field is wrong until a quota is
changed after creation and __cfs_schedulable() is called.

147f3efaa2 sched/fair: Implement an EEVDF-like scheduling policy
Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob,
the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter,
makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit.

Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the
tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a
virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well,
which is what allows over-subscription.

EEVDF has two parameters:

 - weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before

 - request size, or slice length: which is used to compute
   the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i

Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier
and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier.

Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while
wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline.

Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the
selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a
problem.
