Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for
SCHED_DEADLINE implementation.
Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their
initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy
are also added where they are needed.
Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called
SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline
First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called
Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate
the behaviour of tasks between each other.
The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase
(instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The
expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's
runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed
is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline
is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an
instance) activates plus the relative deadline.
The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute
deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each
task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline
length time interval, avoiding any interference between different
tasks (bandwidth isolation).
Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with
the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new
policy.
To summarize, this patch:
- introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed;
- implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new
scheduling class file;
- provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and
the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl
and the other existing scheduling classes.

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).
In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
i.e.:
- a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
- a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
- a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.
Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
legacy binaries.
For these reasons, this patch:
- defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
model described above;
- defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().
Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
available on other architectures is straightforward.
Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is
experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified
commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA
node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load.
Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a
scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier
as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a
result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs
on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for
calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce
the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight
of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case.
wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it
is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the
near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load
of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by
task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide
search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the
historical behaviour.

This patch touches the RT group scheduling case.
Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's
priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq.
This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not
guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this
leak makes RT balancing unusable.
The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's
RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a
throttle rt_rq. The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority
equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.
The patch below fixes the problem.

Commit 42eb088e (sched: Avoid NULL dereference on sd_busy) corrected a NULL
dereference on sd_busy but the fix also altered what scheduling domain it
used for the 'sd_llc' percpu variable.
One impact of this is that a task selecting a runqueue may consider
idle CPUs that are not cache siblings as candidates for running.
Tasks are then running on CPUs that are not cache hot.
This was found through bisection where ebizzy threads were not seeing equal
performance and it looked like a scheduling fairness issue. This patch
mitigates but does not completely fix the problem on all machines tested
implying there may be an additional bug or a common root cause. Here are
the average range of performance seen by individual ebizzy threads. It
was tested on top of candidate patches related to x86 TLB range flushing.

Christian suffers from a bad BIOS that wrecks his i5's TSC sync. This
results in him occasionally seeing time going backwards - which
crashes the scheduler ...
Most of our time accounting can actually handle that except the most
common one; the tick time update of sched_fair.
There is a further problem with that code; previously we assumed that
because we get a tick every TICK_NSEC our time delta could never
exceed 32bits and math was simpler.
However, ever since Frederic managed to get NO_HZ_FULL merged; this is
no longer the case since now a task can run for a long time indeed
without getting a tick. It only takes about ~4.2 seconds to overflow
our u32 in nanoseconds.
This means we not only need to better deal with time going backwards;
but also means we need to be able to deal with large deltas.
This patch reworks the entire code and uses mul_u64_u32_shr() as
proposed by Andy a long while ago.
We express our virtual time scale factor in a u32 multiplier and shift
right and the 32bit mul_u64_u32_shr() implementation reduces to a
single 32x32->64 multiply if the time delta is still short (common
case).
For 64bit a 64x64->128 multiply can be used if ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128.

schedule_debug() ignores in_atomic() if prev->exit_state != 0.
This is not what we want, ->exit_state is set by exit_notify()

in TASK_DEAD.
See also 7407251a0e "PF_DEAD cleanup", I think this ancient

until that commit exit_notify() disabled preemption and set
PF_DEAD which was used to detect the exiting task.

Tony reported that aa0d532605 ("ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq")
broke PREEMPT=n builds on ia64.
Ok, wrapped my brain around it. I tripped over the magic asm foo which
has a single need_resched check and schedule point for both sys call
return and interrupt return.
So you need the schedule_preempt_irq() for kernel preemption from
interrupt return while on a normal syscall preemption a schedule would
be sufficient. But using schedule_preempt_irq() is not harmful here in
any way. It just sets the preempt_active bit also in cases where it
would not be required.
Even on preempt=n kernels adding the preempt_active bit is completely
harmless. So instead of having an extra function, moving the existing
one out of the ifdef PREEMPT looks like the sanest thing to do.
It would also allow getting rid of various other sti/schedule/cli asm
magic in other archs.

nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the
number of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
flag set. Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level
of sched domain, since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter
only at the parent domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce
a per-cpu parameter sd_busy which represents this parent domain.
In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter
associated with the groups of sd_busy.
By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains
which could have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any
of the levels have more than one busy cpu.
sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing. However sd_asym
has been introduced to represent the highest sched domain which has
SD_ASYM_PACKING flag set so that it can be queried directly when
required.
While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to
be updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain
level of a CPU. This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one
level of sched domain where it is currently used.

Asymmetric scheduling within a core is a scheduler loadbalancing
feature that is triggered when SD_ASYM_PACKING flag is set. The goal
for the load balancer is to move tasks to lower order idle SMT threads
within a core on a POWER7 system.
In nohz_kick_needed(), we intend to check if our sched domain (core)
is completely busy or we have idle cpu.
The following check for SD_ASYM_PACKING:
(cpumask_first_and(nohz.idle_cpus_mask, sched_domain_span(sd)) < cpu)
already covers the case of checking if the domain has an idle cpu,
because cpumask_first_and() will not yield any set bits if this domain
has no idle cpu.
Hence, nr_busy check against group weight can be removed.

throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running,
and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running
period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's
update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running
in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded
forever.
Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is
inactive.
(Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.)
Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup
between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and
throttled=1 as a failure. With the throttle_cfs_rq() change commented out
this fails, with the full patch it passes.

Currently, group entity load-weights are initialized to zero. This
admits some races with respect to the first time they are re-weighted in
earlty use. ( Let g[x] denote the se for "g" on cpu "x". )
Suppose that we have root->a and that a enters a throttled state,
immediately followed by a[0]->t1 (the only task running on cpu[0])
blocking:
put_prev_task(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), t1)
put_prev_entity(..., t1)
check_cfs_rq_runtime(group_cfs_rq(a[0]))
throttle_cfs_rq(group_cfs_rq(a[0]))
Then, before unthrottling occurs, let a[0]->b[0]->t2 wake for the first
time:
enqueue_task_fair(rq[0], t2)
enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2)
enqueue_entity_load_avg(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2)
account_entity_enqueue(group_cfs_ra(b[0]), t2)
update_cfs_shares(group_cfs_rq(b[0]))
< skipped because b is part of a throttled hierarchy >
enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), b[0])
...
We now have b[0] enqueued, yet group_cfs_rq(a[0])->load.weight == 0
which violates invariants in several code-paths. Eliminate the
possibility of this by initializing group entity weight.

__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock,
waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer
runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take
rq->lock, resulting in deadlock.
Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the
_latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then
__start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for
that to succeed or timer_active == 1.

hrtimer_expires_remaining does not take internal hrtimer locks and thus
must be guarded against concurrent __hrtimer_start_range_ns (but
returning HRTIMER_RESTART is safe). Use cfs_b->lock to make it safe.

When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently
throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled.
While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently
running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and
distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors.
Fix this by turning off cfs_bandwidth_used only after unthrottling all
cfs_rqs.
Tested: toggle bandwidth back and forth on a loaded cgroup. Caused
crashes in minutes without the patch, hasn't crashed with it.

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:
- sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.
- sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.
- sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
* cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
* set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
races explicitly where it releases them.
- migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for
us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for
cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active
when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works
for take_cpu_down().

There is a subtle race in migrate_swap, when task P, on CPU A, decides to swap
places with task T, on CPU B.
Task P:
- call migrate_swap
Task T:
- go to sleep, removing itself from the runqueue
Task P:
- double lock the runqueues on CPU A & B
Task T:
- get woken up, place itself on the runqueue of CPU C
Task P:
- see that task T is on a runqueue, and pretend to remove it
from the runqueue on CPU B
Now CPUs B & C both have corrupted scheduler data structures.
This patch fixes it, by holding the pi_lock for both of the tasks
involved in the migrate swap. This prevents task T from waking up,
and placing itself onto another runqueue, until after migrate_swap
has released all locks.
This means that, when migrate_swap checks, task T will be either
on the runqueue where it was originally seen, or not on any
runqueue at all. Migrate_swap deals correctly with of those cases.

Short spikes of CPU load can lead to a task being migrated
away from its preferred node for temporary reasons.
It is important that the task is migrated back to where it
belongs, in order to avoid migrating too much memory to its
new location, and generally disturbing a task's NUMA location.
This patch fixes NUMA placement for 4 specjbb instances on
a 4 node system. Without this patch, things take longer to
converge, and processes are not always completely on their
own node.

Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations,
slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the
per-pgdat migration ratelimit.
This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies
how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page
migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault.
This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in
shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to
the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is,
and to moving the other tasks to near the memory.
Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default
still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before.
Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously,
with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.
