enqueue_sleeper() doesn't actually enqueue, it just handles some
statistics and tracepoints.  Rename it to update_stats_enqueue_sleeper()
and call it from update_stats_enqueue().

The dl task will be replenished after dl task timer fire and start a
new period. It will be enqueued and to re-evaluate its dependency on
the tick in order to restart it. However, if the CPU is hot-unplugged,
irq_work_queue will splash since the target CPU is offline.

As a result we get:

    WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/irq_work.c:69 irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0
    Call Trace:
     dump_stack+0x99/0xd0

     dl_task_timer+0x19b/0x2c0
     ? push_dl_task.part.31+0x190/0x190

This can be triggered by hot-unplugging the full dynticks CPU which dl
task is running on.

We enqueue the dl task on the offline CPU, because we need to do
replenish for start_dl_timer(). So, as Juri pointed out, we would
need to do is calling replenish_dl_entity() directly, instead of
enqueue_task_dl(). pi_se shouldn't be a problem as the task shouldn't
be boosted if it was throttled.

This patch fixes it by avoiding the whole enqueue+dequeue+enqueue story, by
first migrating (set_task_cpu()) and then doing 1 enqueue.

1) sched_init()
   -> INIT_HLIST_HEAD(&init_task.preempt_notifiers)

2) sched_init()
   -> init_idle(current,) <--- current task is init_task at this time
    -> __sched_fork(,current)

Since commit:

  2159197d ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")

we now have two different fixed point units for load.

load_above_capacity has to have 10 bits fixed point unit like PELT,
whereas NICE_0_LOAD has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit kernels.

Fix this by scaling down NICE_0_LOAD when multiplying
load_above_capacity with it.

This change goes from heapify() ops done by swapping with parent/child
so that the item to fix moves along, to heapify() ops done by just
pulling the parent/child chain by 1 pos, then storing the item to fix
just at the end. On a non-trivial heapify(), this performs roughly half
stores wrt swaps.

This has been measured to achieve up to 10% of speed-up for cpudl_set()
calls, with a randomly generated workload of 1K,10K,100K random heap
insertions and deletions (75% cpudl_set() calls with is_valid=1 and
25% with is_valid=0), and randomly generated cpu IDs, with up to 256
CPUs, as measured on an Intel Core2 Duo.

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and
the check for task->on_rq.

The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:

	do {
		schedule()
		set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
	} while (!cond);

The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():

	while (p->on_cpu)
		cpu_relax();

Analysis:

The instance I've seen involves the following race:

 CPU1					CPU2

 while () {
   if (cond)
     break;
   do {
     schedule();
     set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
   } while (!cond);
					wakeup_routine()
					  spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)	  wake_up_process()
 }					  try_to_wake_up()
 set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);	  ..
 list_del(&waiter.list);

CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:

 CPU3
 wakeup_routine()
 raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
 if (!list_empty)
   wake_up_process()
   try_to_wake_up()
   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock)
   ..
   if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup())
   ..
   while (p->on_cpu)
     cpu_relax()
   ..

CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.

CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.

The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely

Reproduction of the issue:

The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.

Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

Commit:

  d670ec13 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles")

started accounting thread group tasks pending runtime in thread_group_cputime().

Another commit:

  6e998916 ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")

updated scheduler runtime statistics (call update_curr()) when reading task pending
runtime. Those changes cause bad performance of SYS_times() and
SYS_clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) syscalls, especially on
larger systems with many CPUs.

While we would like to have cpuclock monotonicity kept i.e. have
problems fixed by above commits stay fixed, we also would like to have
good performance.

However when we notice that change from commit d670ec13 is not
longer needed to solve problem addressed by that commit, because of
change from the second commit 6e998916, we can get room for
optimization. Since we update task while reading it's pending runtime
in task_sched_runtime(), clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) will
see updated values and on testcase from d670ec13 process cpuclock
will not be smaller than thread cpuclock.

I tested the patch on testcases from commits d670ec13,
6e998916 and some other cpuclock/cputimers testcases and
did not found cpuclock monotonicity problems or other malfunction.

This patch has the drawback that we will not provide thread group cputime
up-to-date to the last moment. For example when arming cputime timer,
we will arm it with possibly a bit outdated values and that timer will
trigger earlier compared to behaviour without the patch. However that
was the behaviour before d670ec13 commit (kernel v3.1) so it's
unlikely to affect applications.

Patch improves related syscall performance, as measured by Giovanni's
benchmarks described in commit:

  6075620b ("sched/cputime: Mitigate performance regression in times()/clock_gettime()")

The benchmark results are:

Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric
configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's
compute demand (utilization) is suitable for the waking CPU and the
previous CPU, and all CPUs within their respective
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains (sd_llc). If not, let wakeup balancing
take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).

This patch makes affine wake-ups conditional on whether both the waker
CPU and the previous CPU has sufficient capacity for the waking task,
or not, assuming that the CPU capacities within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous.

To be able to compare the capacity of the target CPU with the highest
available CPU capacity, store the maximum per-CPU capacity in the root
domain.

The max per-CPU capacity should be 1024 for all systems except SMT,
where the capacity is currently based on smt_gain and the number of
hardware threads and is <1024. If SMT can be brought to work with a
per-thread capacity of 1024, this patch can be dropped and replaced by a
hard-coded max capacity of 1024 (=SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

A domain with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set indicate that
sched_groups at this level and below do not include CPUs of all
capacities available (e.g. group containing little-only or big-only CPUs
in big.LITTLE systems). It is therefore necessary to put in more effort
in finding an appropriate CPU at task wake-up by enabling balancing at
wake-up (SD_BALANCE_WAKE) on all lower (child) levels.

Add a topology flag to the sched_domain hierarchy indicating the lowest
domain level where the full range of CPU capacities is represented by
the domain members for asymmetric capacity topologies (e.g. ARM
big.LITTLE).

The flag is intended to indicate that extra care should be taken when
placing tasks on CPUs and this level spans all the different types of
CPUs found in the system (no need to look further up the domain
hierarchy). This information is currently only available through
iterating through the capacities of all the CPUs at parent levels in the
sched_domain hierarchy.

  SD 2      [  0      1      2      3]  SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY

  SD 1      [  0      1] [   2      3]  !SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY

  CPU:         0      1      2      3
  capacity:  756    756   1024   1024

If the topology in the example above is duplicated to create an eight
CPU example with third sched_domain level on top (SD 3), this level
should not have the flag set (!SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) as its two group
would both have all CPU capacities represented within them.

Checking if the sched_domain pointer returned by sd_init() is NULL seems

The SD_flags comment is very terse and doesn't explain why PACKING is
odd.

IIRC the distinction is that the 'normal' ones only describe topology,
while the ASYM_PACKING one also prescribes behaviour. It is odd in the
way that it doesn't only describe things.

Commit:

  57430218 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")

... fixed a bug but also triggered a regression:

On an i5 laptop, 4 pCPUs, 4vCPUs for one full dynticks guest, there are four
CPU hog processes(for loop) running in the guest, I hot-unplug the pCPUs
on host one by one until there is only one left, then observe CPU utilization
via 'top' in the guest, it shows:

  100% st for cpu0(housekeeping)
   75% st for other CPUs (nohz full mode)

However, w/o this commit it shows the correct 75% for all four CPUs.

When a guest is interrupted for a longer amount of time, missed clock ticks
are not redelivered later. Because of that, we should not limit the amount
of steal time accounted to the amount of time that the calling functions
think have passed.

However, the interval returned by account_other_time() is NOT rounded down
to the nearest jiffy, while the base interval in get_vtime_delta() it is
subtracted from is, so the max cputime limit is required to avoid underflow.

This patch fixes the regression by limiting the account_other_time() from
get_vtime_delta() to avoid underflow, and lets the other three call sites
(in account_other_time() and steal_account_process_time()) account however
much steal time the host told us elapsed.

Update the code to assume all rtime is utime when we lack information,
thus ensuring a task that elides the tick gets time accounted.

Commit:

  57430218 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")

... didn't take steal time into consideration with passing the noirqtime
kernel parameter.

As Paolo pointed out before:

| Why not? If idle=poll, for example, any time the guest is suspended (and
| thus cannot poll) does count as stolen time.

This patch fixes it by reducing steal time from idle time accounting when
the noirqtime parameter is true. The average idle time drops from 56.8%
to 54.75% for nohz idle kvm guest(noirqtime, idle=poll, four vCPUs running
on one pCPU).

This message is currently really useless since it always prints a value
that comes from the printk() we just did, e.g.:

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388
    in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 31996, name: trinity-c1
    Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff8119db33>] down_trylock+0x13/0x80

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/freezer.h:56

    Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff811aaa37>] console_unlock+0x2f7/0x930

Here, both down_trylock() and console_unlock() is somewhere in the
printk() path.

We should save the value before calling printk() and use the saved value
instead. That immediately reveals the offending callsite:

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388
    in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 14971, name: trinity-c2

setup_new_dl_entity() takes two parameters, but it only actually uses
one of them, under a different name, to setup a new dl_entity, after:

  2f9f3fdc928 "sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity"

as we currently do:

  setup_new_dl_entity(&p->dl, &p->dl)

However, before Luca's change we were doing:

  setup_new_dl_entity(dl_se, pi_se)

in update_dl_entity() for a dl_se->new entity: we were using pi_se's
parameters (the potential PI donor) for setting up a new entity.

This change removes the useless second parameter of setup_new_dl_entity().

While we are at it we also optimize things further calling setup_new_dl_
entity() only for already queued tasks, since (as pointed out by Xunlei)
we already do the very same update at tasks wakeup time anyway. By doing
so, we don't need to worry about a potential PI donor anymore, as
rt_mutex_setprio() takes care of that already for us.

In commit:

  ac66f547 ("sched/numa: Introduce migrate_swap()")

select_task_rq() got a 'cpu' argument to enable overriding of prev_cpu
in special cases (NUMA task swapping).

However, the select_task_rq_fair() helper functions: wake_affine() and
select_idle_sibling(), still use task_cpu(p) directly to work out
prev_cpu, which leads to inconsistencies.

This patch passes prev_cpu (potentially overridden by NUMA code) into
the helper functions to ensure prev_cpu is indeed the same CPU
everywhere in the wakeup path.

Vincent noted that the update_tg_load_avg() usage in commit:

  3d30544f ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes")

isn't entirely sufficient. We need to call this function every time
cfs_rq->avg.load changes, this includes when update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
returns true, but {attach,detach}_entity_load_avg() themselves also
change it. This means we need to unconditionally call
update_tg_load_avg().

Also, add more comments.

Commit:

  6e998916 ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")

fixed a problem whereby clock_nanosleep() followed by clock_gettime() could
allow a task to wake early. It addressed the problem by calling the scheduling
classes update_curr() when the cputimer starts.

Said change induced a considerable performance regression on the syscalls
times() and clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID). There are some
debuggers and applications that monitor their own performance that
accidentally depend on the performance of these specific calls.

This patch mitigates the performace loss by prefetching data in the CPU
cache, as stalls due to cache misses appear to be where most time is spent
in our benchmarks.

Here are the performance gain of this patch over v4.7-rc7 on a Sandy Bridge
box with 32 logical cores and 2 NUMA nodes. The test is repeated with a
variable number of threads, from 2 to 4*num_cpus; the results are in
seconds and correspond to the average of 10 runs; the percentage gain is
computed with (before-after)/before so a positive value is an improvement
(it's faster). The improvement varies between a few percents for 5-20
threads and more than 10% for 2 or >20 threads.

pound_clock_gettime and pound_clock_gettime are two benchmarks included in
the MMTests framework. They launch a given number of threads which
repeatedly call times() or clock_gettimes(). The results above can be
reproduced with cloning MMTests from github.com and running the "poundtime"
workload:

  $ git clone https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests.git
  $ cd mmtests
  $ cp configs/config-global-dhp__workload_poundtime config
  $ ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor $(uname -r)

The above will run "poundtime" measuring the kernel currently running on
the machine; Once a new kernel is installed and the machine rebooted,
running again

  $ cd mmtests
  $ ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor $(uname -r)

will produce results to compare with. A comparison table will be output
with:

  $ cd mmtests/work/log
  $ ../../compare-kernels.sh

the table will contain a lot of entries; grepping for "Amean" (as in
"arithmetic mean") will give the tables presented above. The source code
for the two benchmarks is reported at the end of this changelog for
clairity.

The cache misses addressed by this patch were found using a combination of
`perf top`, `perf record` and `perf annotate`. The incriminated lines were
found to be

    struct sched_entity *curr = cfs_rq->curr;

and

    delta_exec = now - curr->exec_start;

in the function update_curr() from kernel/sched/fair.c. This patch
prefetches the data from memory just before update_curr is called in the
interested execution path.

A comparison of the total number of cycles before and after the patch
follows; the data is obtained using `perf stat -r 10 -ddd <program>`
running over the same sequence of number of threads used above (a positive
gain is an improvement):

As a final note, the following shows the evolution of performance figures
in the "poundtime" benchmark and pinpoints commit 6e998916
("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency") as a
major source of degradation, mostly unaddressed to this day (figures
expressed in seconds).

Current code in cpudeadline.c has a bug in re-heapifying when adding a
new element at the end of the heap, because a deadline value of 0 is
temporarily set in the new elem, then cpudl_change_key() is called
with the actual elem deadline as param.

However, the function compares the new deadline to set with the one
previously in the elem, which is 0.  So, if current absolute deadlines
grew so much to have negative values as s64, the comparison in
cpudl_change_key() makes the wrong decision.  Instead, as from
dl_time_before(), the kernel should handle correctly abs deadlines
wrap-arounds.

This patch fixes the problem with a minimally invasive change that
forces cpudl_change_key() to heapify up in this case.

The slow-path frequency transition path is relatively expensive as it
requires waking up a thread to do work. Should support be added for
remote CPU cpufreq updates that is also expensive since it requires an
IPI. These activities should be avoided if they are not necessary.

To that end, calculate the actual driver-supported frequency required by
the new utilization value in schedutil by using the recently added
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq API. If it is the same as the previously
requested driver frequency then there is no need to continue with the
update assuming the cpu frequency limits have not changed. This will
have additional benefits should the semantics of the rate limit be
changed to apply solely to frequency transitions rather than to
frequency calculations in schedutil.

The last raw required frequency is cached. This allows the driver
frequency lookup to be skipped in the event that the new raw required
frequency matches the last one, assuming a frequency update has not been
forced due to limits changing (indicated by a next_freq value of
UINT_MAX, see sugov_should_update_freq).

Vtime generic irqtime accounting has been removed but there are a few
remnants to clean up:

* The vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled() check in irq entry was only used
  by CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can safely remove it.

* Without the vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled(), we no longer need to
  have a vtime_common_account_irq_enter() indirect function.

* Move vtime_account_irq_enter() implementation under
  CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE which is the last user.

* The vtime_account_user() call was only used on irq entry for
  CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can remove that too.

The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not
appear to currently work right.

On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is
done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU.

On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a
while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This
can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use
the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.

Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code, and replace it with the
IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code, when selected as a config option by the user.

Currently, if there was any irq or softirq time during 'ticks'
jiffies, the entire period will be accounted as irq or softirq

This is inaccurate if only a subset of the time was actually spent
handling irqs, and could conceivably mis-count all of the ticks during
a period as irq time, when there was some irq and some softirq time.

This can actually happen when irqtime_account_process_tick is called
from account_idle_ticks, which can pass a larger number of ticks down
all at once.

Fix this by changing irqtime_account_hi_update(), irqtime_account_si_update(),
and steal_account_process_ticks() to work with cputime_t time units, and
return the amount of time spent in each mode.

Rename steal_account_process_ticks() to steal_account_process_time(), to
reflect that time is now accounted in cputime_t, instead of ticks.

Additionally, have irqtime_account_process_tick() take into account how
much time was spent in each of steal, irq, and softirq time.

The latter could help improve the accuracy of cputime
accounting when returning from idle on a NO_HZ_IDLE CPU.

Properly accounting how much time was spent in hardirq and
softirq time will also allow the NO_HZ_FULL code to re-use
these same functions for hardirq and softirq accounting.
