When a CPU is kicked to do nohz idle balancing, it wakes up to do load
balancing on itself, followed by load balancing on behalf of idle CPUs.
But it may end up with load after the load balancing attempt on itself.
This aborts nohz idle balancing. As a result several idle CPUs are left
without tasks till such a time that an ILB CPU finds it unfavorable to
pull tasks upon itself. This delays spreading of load across idle CPUs
and worse, clutters only a few CPUs with tasks.

The effect of the above problem was observed on an SMT8 POWER server
with 2 levels of numa domains. Busy loops equal to number of cores were
spawned. Since load balancing on fork/exec is discouraged across numa
domains, all busy loops would start on one of the numa domains. However
it was expected that eventually one busy loop would run per core across
all domains due to nohz idle load balancing. But it was observed that it
took as long as 10 seconds to spread the load across numa domains.

Further investigation showed that this was a consequence of the
following:

 1. An ILB CPU was chosen from the first numa domain to trigger nohz idle
    load balancing [Given the experiment, upto 6 CPUs per core could be
    potentially idle in this domain.]

 2. However the ILB CPU would call load_balance() on itself before
    initiating nohz idle load balancing.

 3. Given cores are SMT8, the ILB CPU had enough opportunities to pull
    tasks from its sibling cores to even out load.

 4. Now that the ILB CPU was no longer idle, it would abort nohz idle
    load balancing

As a result the opportunities to spread load across numa domains were
lost until such a time that the cores within the first numa domain had
equal number of tasks among themselves.  This is a pretty bad scenario,
since the cores within the first numa domain would have as many as 4
tasks each, while cores in the neighbouring numa domains would all
remain idle.

Fix this, by checking if a CPU was woken up to do nohz idle load
balancing, before it does load balancing upon itself. This way we allow
idle CPUs across the system to do load balancing which results in
quicker spread of load, instead of performing load balancing within the
local sched domain hierarchy of the ILB CPU alone under circumstances
such as above.

Currently the freq invariant accounting (in
__update_entity_runnable_avg() and sched_rt_avg_update()) get the
scale factor from a weak function call, this means that even for archs
that default on their implementation the compiler cannot see into this
function and optimize the extra scaling math away.

This is sad, esp. since its a 64-bit multiplication which can be quite
costly on some platforms.

So replace the weak function with #ifdef and __always_inline goo. This
is not quite as nice from an arch support PoV but should at least
result in compile time errors if done wrong.

When a CPU is used to handle a lot of IRQs or some RT tasks, the remaining
capacity for CFS tasks can be significantly reduced. Once we detect such
situation by comparing cpu_capacity_orig and cpu_capacity, we trig an idle
load balance to check if it's worth moving its tasks on an idle CPU.

It's worth trying to move the task before the CPU is fully utilized to
minimize the preemption by irq or RT tasks.

Once the idle load_balance has selected the busiest CPU, it will look for an
active load balance for only two cases:

  - There is only 1 task on the busiest CPU.

  - We haven't been able to move a task of the busiest rq.

A CPU with a reduced capacity is included in the 1st case, and it's worth to
actively migrate its task if the idle CPU has got more available capacity for
CFS tasks. This test has been added in need_active_balance.

As a sidenote, this will not generate more spurious ilb because we already
trig an ilb if there is more than 1 busy cpu. If this cpu is the only one that
has a task, we will trig the ilb once for migrating the task.

The nohz_kick_needed function has been cleaned up a bit while adding the new
test

env.src_cpu and env.src_rq must be set unconditionnally because they are used
in need_active_balance which is called even if busiest->nr_running equals 1

The scheduler tries to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle by
assuming that a task's load is SCHED_LOAD_SCALE and a CPU's capacity is
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE.

'struct sg_lb_stats:group_capacity_factor' divides the capacity of the group
by SCHED_LOAD_SCALE to estimate how many task can run in the group. Then, it
compares this value with the sum of nr_running to decide if the group is
overloaded or not.

But the 'group_capacity_factor' concept is hardly working for SMT systems, it
sometimes works for big cores but fails to do the right thing for little cores.

Below are two examples to illustrate the problem that this patch solves:

1- If the original capacity of a CPU is less than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
   (640 as an example), a group of 3 CPUS will have a max capacity_factor of 2
   (div_round_closest(3x640/1024) = 2) which means that it will be seen as
   overloaded even if we have only one task per CPU.

2 - If the original capacity of a CPU is greater than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
   (1512 as an example), a group of 4 CPUs will have a capacity_factor of 4
   (at max and thanks to the fix [0] for SMT system that prevent the apparition
   of ghost CPUs) but if one CPU is fully used by rt tasks (and its capacity is
   reduced to nearly nothing), the capacity factor of the group will still be 4
   (div_round_closest(3*1512/1024) = 5 which is cap to 4 with [0]).

So, this patch tries to solve this issue by removing capacity_factor and
replacing it with the 2 following metrics:

  - The available CPU's capacity for CFS tasks which is already used by
    load_balance().

  - The usage of the CPU by the CFS tasks. For the latter, utilization_avg_contrib
    has been re-introduced to compute the usage of a CPU by CFS tasks.

'group_capacity_factor' and 'group_has_free_capacity' has been removed and replaced
by 'group_no_capacity'. We compare the number of task with the number of CPUs and
we evaluate the level of utilization of the CPUs to define if a group is
overloaded or if a group has capacity to handle more tasks.

For SD_PREFER_SIBLING, a group is tagged overloaded if it has more than 1 task
so it will be selected in priority (among the overloaded groups). Since [1],
SD_PREFER_SIBLING is no more concerned by the computation of 'load_above_capacity'
because local is not overloaded.

Monitor the usage level of each group of each sched_domain level. The usage is
the portion of cpu_capacity_orig that is currently used on a CPU or group of
CPUs. We use the utilization_load_avg to evaluate the usage level of each
group.

The utilization_load_avg only takes into account the running time of the CFS
tasks on a CPU with a maximum value of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE when the CPU is fully
utilized. Nevertheless, we must cap utilization_load_avg which can be
temporally greater than SCHED_LOAD_SCALE after the migration of a task on this
CPU and until the metrics are stabilized.

The utilization_load_avg is in the range [0..SCHED_LOAD_SCALE] to reflect the
running load on the CPU whereas the available capacity for the CFS task is in
the range [0..cpu_capacity_orig]. In order to test if a CPU is fully utilized
by CFS tasks, we have to scale the utilization in the cpu_capacity_orig range
of the CPU to get the usage of the latter. The usage can then be compared with
the available capacity (ie cpu_capacity) to deduct the usage level of a CPU.

The frequency scaling invariance of the usage is not taken into account in this
patch, it will be solved in another patch which will deal with frequency
scaling invariance on the utilization_load_avg.

The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute
capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled
down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity
must also be invariant with frequency scaling.

A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for
computing scale_rt_capacity.

In sched_rt_avg_update(), we now scale the RT execution time like below:

  rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by:

  scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE * available / total

with available = total - rq->rt_avg

This has been been optimized in current code by:

  scale_rt_capacity = available / (total >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT)

But we can also developed the equation like below:

  scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - ((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / total)

and we can optimize the equation by removing SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT shift in
the computation of rq->rt_avg and scale_rt_capacity().

so rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity()
and
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - (rq->rt_avg / total)

arch_scale_frequency_capacity() will be called in the hot path of the scheduler
which implies to have a short and efficient function.

As an example, arch_scale_frequency_capacity() should return a cached value that
is updated periodically outside of the hot path.

Apply frequency scale-invariance correction factor to usage tracking.

Each segment of the running_avg_sum geometric series is now scaled by the
current frequency so the utilization_avg_contrib of each entity will be
invariant with frequency scaling.

As a result, utilization_load_avg which is the sum of utilization_avg_contrib,
becomes invariant too. So the usage level that is returned by get_cpu_usage(),
stays relative to the max frequency as the cpu_capacity which is is compared against.

Then, we want the keep the load tracking values in a 32-bit type, which implies
that the max value of {runnable|running}_avg_sum must be lower than
2^32/88761=48388 (88761 is the max weigth of a task). As LOAD_AVG_MAX = 47742,
arch_scale_freq_capacity() must return a value less than
(48388/47742) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT = 1037 (SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY = 1024).
So we define the range to [0..SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY] in order to avoid overflow.

This patch is based on the usage metric that was proposed in the 1st
versions of the per-entity load tracking patchset by Paul Turner
<pjt@google.com> but that has be removed afterwards. This version differs from
the original one in the sense that it's not linked to task_group.

The rq's utilization_load_avg will be used to check if a rq is overloaded or
not instead of trying to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle.

Rename runnable_avg_period into avg_period as it is now used with both
runnable_avg_sum and running_avg_sum.

When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.

Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.

The test that was run was the following:

 cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100

This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.

cyclictest is maintained at:
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git

What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.

To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.

I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.

Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.

With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.

I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.

When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.

To enabled or disable this at run time:

 # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
 # echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.

The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the

When CONFIG_IRQ_WORK is not defined (difficult to do, as it also
requires CONFIG_PRINTK not to be defined), we get a build failure:

	kernel/built-in.o: In function `flush_smp_call_function_queue':
	kernel/smp.c:263: undefined reference to `irq_work_run'
	kernel/smp.c:263: undefined reference to `irq_work_run'
	Makefile:933: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed

Simplest thing to do is to make irq_work_run() a nop when not set.

When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime
scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the
counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR
timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a
non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime
one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the
timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch
resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to
a non-RT scheduling class.

I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets
killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch
applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and
does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

 "These are fixes for recent regressions (PCI/ACPI resources and at91

  Specifics:

   - Revert a recent PCI commit related to IRQ resources management that
     introduced a regression for drivers attempting to bind to devices
     whose previous drivers did not balance pci_enable_device() and
     pci_disable_device() as expected (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Fix a deadlock in at91_rtc_interrupt() introduced by a typo in a
     recent commit related to wakeup interrupt handling (Dan Carpenter).

   - Allow the power capping RAPL (Running-Average Power Limit) driver
     to use different energy units for domains within one CPU package
     which is necessary to handle Intel Haswell EP processors correctly
     (Jacob Pan).

   - Improve the cpuidle mvebu driver's handling of Armada XP SoCs by
     updating the target residency and exit latency numbers for those
     chips (Sebastien Rannou).

   - Prevent the cpuidle mvebu driver from calling cpu_pm_enter() twice
     in a row before cpu_pm_exit() is called on the same CPU which
     breaks the core's assumptions regarding the usage of those
     functions (Gregory Clement)"

 "Another few ARM fixes.  Fabrice fixed the L2 cache DT parsing to allow

  Laura noticed that the setting of page attributes wasn't working for

  Marc Gonzalez (aka Mason) noticed a potential latent bug with the way
  we read one of the CPUID registers (where we could attempt to read a
  non-present CPUID register which may fault.)

  I've fixed an issue where 32-bit DMA masks were failing with memory
  which extended to the top of physical address space, and I've also
  added debugging output of the page tables when we hit a data access
  exception which we don't specifically handle - prompted by the lack of

If ->run() fails, it can either free the data structures it
allocated, or leave that task to ->free() which will be called
on failures.

However:
  md.c calls ->free() even if ->private_data is NULL, which
     causes problems in some personalities.
  raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear ->private_data,
     which will become a problem when we fix md.c

So better fix both these issues at once.
