During fork, the utilization of a task is init once the rq has been
selected because the current utilization level of the rq is used to
set the utilization of the fork task. As the task's utilization is
still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to
look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization.
Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test:

   hackbench -P -g 1

because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not
spread during fork.

With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as
for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test
until a smarter solution is found because we can't simply remove the
test which is useful for others benchmarks

We generalize the scheduler's asym packing to provide an ordering
of the cpu beyond just the cpu number.  This allows the use of the
ASYM_PACKING scheduler machinery to move loads to preferred CPU in a
sched domain. The preference is defined with the cpu priority
given by arch_asym_cpu_priority(cpu).

We also record the most preferred cpu in a sched group when
we build the cpu's capacity for fast lookup of preferred cpu
during load balancing.

A task can be asynchronously detached from cfs_rq when migrating
between CPUs. The load of the migrated task is then removed from
source cfs_rq during its next update. We use this event to set
propagation flag.

During the load balance, we take advantage of the update of blocked
load to propagate any pending changes.

The propagation relies on patch:

  "sched: Fix hierarchical order in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list"

... which orders children and parents, to ensure that it's done in one pass.

When a task moves from/to a cfs_rq, we set a flag which is then used to
propagate the change at parent level (sched_entity and cfs_rq) during
next update. If the cfs_rq is throttled, the flag will stay pending until
the cfs_rq is unthrottled.

For propagating the utilization, we copy the utilization of group cfs_rq to
the sched_entity.

For propagating the load, we have to take into account the load of the
whole task group in order to evaluate the load of the sched_entity.
Similarly to what was done before the rewrite of PELT, we add a correction
factor in case the task group's load is greater than its share so it will
contribute the same load of a task of equal weight.

Every time we modify load/utilization of sched_entity, we start to
sync it with its cfs_rq. This update is done in different ways:

 - when attaching/detaching a sched_entity, we update cfs_rq and then
   we sync the entity with the cfs_rq.

 - when enqueueing/dequeuing the sched_entity, we update both
   sched_entity and cfs_rq metrics to now.

Use update_load_avg() everytime we have to update and sync cfs_rq and
sched_entity before changing the state of a sched_enity.

Fix the insertion of cfs_rq in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list to ensure that a
child will always be called before its parent.

The hierarchical order in shares update list has been introduced by
commit:

  67e86250 ("sched: Introduce hierarchal order on shares update list")

With the current implementation a child can be still put after its
parent.

Lets take the example of:

       root
        \
         b
         /\
         c d*
           |
           e*

with root -> b -> c already enqueued but not d -> e so the
leaf_cfs_rq_list looks like: head -> c -> b -> root -> tail

The branch d -> e will be added the first time that they are enqueued,
starting with e then d.

When e is added, its parents is not already on the list so e is put at
the tail : head -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail

Then, d is added at the head because its parent is already on the
list: head -> d -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail

e is not placed at the right position and will be called the last
whereas it should be called at the beginning.

Because it follows the bottom-up enqueue sequence, we are sure that we
will finished to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a
parent that is already on the list. We can use this event to detect
when we have finished to add a new branch. For the others, whose
parents are not already added, we have to ensure that they will be
added after their children that have just been inserted the steps
before, and after any potential parents that are already in the list.
The easiest way is to put the cfs_rq just after the last inserted one
and to keep track of it untl the branch is fully added.

For asymmetric CPU capacity systems it is counter-productive for
throughput if low capacity CPUs are pulling tasks from non-overloaded
CPUs with higher capacity. The assumption is that higher CPU capacity is
preferred over running alone in a group with lower CPU capacity.

This patch rejects higher CPU capacity groups with one or less task per
CPU as potential busiest group which could otherwise lead to a series of
failing load-balancing attempts leading to a force-migration.

struct sched_group_capacity currently represents the compute capacity
sum of all CPUs in the sched_group.

Unless it is divided by the group_weight to get the average capacity
per CPU, it hides differences in CPU capacity for mixed capacity systems
(e.g. high RT/IRQ utilization or ARM big.LITTLE).

But even the average may not be sufficient if the group covers CPUs of
different capacities.

Instead, by extending struct sched_group_capacity to indicate min per-CPU
capacity in the group a suitable group for a given task utilization can
more easily be found such that CPUs with reduced capacity can be avoided
for tasks with high utilization (not implemented by this patch).

In low-utilization scenarios comparing relative loads in
find_idlest_group() doesn't always lead to the most optimum choice.
Systems with groups containing different numbers of cpus and/or cpus of
different compute capacity are significantly better off when considering
spare capacity rather than relative load in those scenarios.

In addition to existing load based search an alternative spare capacity
based candidate sched_group is found and selected instead if sufficient
spare capacity exists. If not, existing behaviour is preserved.

At task wake-up load-tracking isn't updated until the task is enqueued.
The task's own view of its utilization contribution may therefore not be
aligned with its contribution to the cfs_rq load-tracking which may have
been updated in the meantime. Basically, the task's own utilization
hasn't yet accounted for the sleep decay, while the cfs_rq may have
(partially). Estimating the cfs_rq utilization in case the task is
migrated at wake-up as task_rq(p)->cfs.avg.util_avg - p->se.avg.util_avg
is therefore incorrect as the two load-tracking signals aren't time
synchronized (different last update).

To solve this problem, this patch synchronizes the task utilization with
its previous rq before the task utilization is used in the wake-up path.
Currently the update/synchronization is done _after_ the task has been
placed by select_task_rq_fair(). The synchronization is done without
having to take the rq lock using the existing mechanism used in
remove_entity_load_avg().

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury,
which he bisected back to:

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

The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved
(read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask.

The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg)
is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of
a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to
parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load
(tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg().

But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load,
whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value.

The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the
weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is
smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than
what it could expect.

( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg"
  of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib"
  of online cfs_rqs of the task group. )

The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else
than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

This can be reproduced by running the ftrace test case of kselftest, the

sched-domain during scheduler teardown.

The step 2 for the rewrite select_idle_siblings():

  | Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
  | average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup.

If the CPU which doing the wakeup is the going hot-unplug CPU, then NULL
sched domain will be dereferenced to acquire the average cost of the scan.

This patch fix it by failing the search of an idle CPU in the LLC process
if this sched domain is NULL.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of

While going through enqueue/dequeue to review the movement of
set_curr_task() I noticed that the (2nd) update_min_vruntime() call in
dequeue_entity() is suspect.

It turns out, its actually wrong because it will consider
cfs_rq->curr, which could be the entry we just normalized. This mixes
different vruntime forms and leads to fail.

The purpose of the second update_min_vruntime() is to move
min_vruntime forward if the entity we just removed is the one that was
holding it back; _except_ for the DEQUEUE_SAVE case, because then we
know its a temporary removal and it will come back.

However, since we do put_prev_task() _after_ dequeue(), cfs_rq->curr
will still be set (and per the above, can be tranformed into a
different unit), so update_min_vruntime() should also consider
curr->on_rq. This also fixes another corner case where the enqueue
(which also does update_curr()->update_min_vruntime()) happens on the
rq->lock break in schedule(), between dequeue and put_prev_task.

select_idle_siblings() is a known pain point for a number of
workloads; it either does too much or not enough and sometimes just
does plain wrong.

This rewrite attempts to address a number of issues (but sadly not
all).

The current code does an unconditional sched_domain iteration; with
the intent of finding an idle core (on SMT hardware). The problems
which this patch tries to address are:

 - its pointless to look for idle cores if the machine is real busy;
   at which point you're just wasting cycles.

 - it's behaviour is inconsistent between SMT and !SMT hardware in
   that !SMT hardware ends up doing a scan for any idle CPU in the LLC
   domain, while SMT hardware does a scan for idle cores and if that
   fails, falls back to a scan for idle threads on the 'target' core.

The new code replaces the sched_domain scan with 3 explicit scans:

 1) search for an idle core in the LLC
 2) search for an idle CPU in the LLC
 3) search for an idle thread in the 'target' core

where 1 and 3 are conditional on SMT support and 1 and 2 have runtime
heuristics to skip the step.

Step 1) is conditional on sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores; when a cpu
goes idle and sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores is false, we scan all SMT
siblings of the CPU going idle. Similarly, we clear
sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores when we fail to find an idle core.

Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup. There is a
significant fudge factor involved to deal with the variability of the
averages. Esp. hackbench was sensitive to this.

Step 3) is unconditional; we assume (also per step 1) that scanning
all SMT siblings in a core is 'cheap'.

With this; SMT systems gain step 2, which cures a few benchmarks --
notably one from Facebook.

One 'feature' of the sched_domain iteration, which we preserve in the
new code, is that it would start scanning from the 'target' CPU,
instead of scanning the cpumask in cpu id order. This avoids multiple
CPUs in the LLC scanning for idle to gang up and find the same CPU
quite as much. The down side is that tasks can end up hopping across
the LLC for no apparent reason.

Since commit:

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

we now have two different fixed point units for load:

- 'shares' in calc_cfs_shares() has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit
  kernels. Therefore use scale_load() on MIN_SHARES.

- 'wl' in effective_load() has 10 bit fixed point unit. Therefore use
  scale_load_down() on tg->shares which has 20 bit fixed point unit on
  64-bit kernels.

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime).

It makes use of a per-CPU hrtimer resource and hence arming that
hrtimer should be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its
various cfs_rqs, rather than being based on number of tasks in a
particular cfs_rq (as implemented currently).

As a result, with current code, its possible for a running task (which
is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted much after its
ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency for tasks in
other cfs_rq on same CPU.

Fix this by arming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.

Testing indicates that it is possible to improve performace
significantly without increasing energy consumption too much by
teaching cpufreq governors to bump up the CPU performance level if
the in_iowait flag is set for the task in enqueue_task_fair().

For this purpose, define a new cpufreq_update_util() flag
SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT and modify enqueue_task_fair() to pass that
flag to cpufreq_update_util() in the in_iowait case.  That generally
requires cpufreq_update_util() to be called directly from there,
because update_load_avg() may not be invoked in that case.

The schedstat_*() macros are inconsistent: most of them take a pointer
and a field which the macro combines, whereas schedstat_set() takes the
already combined ptr->field.

The already combined ptr->field argument is actually more intuitive and
easier to use, and there's no reason to require the user to split the
variable up, so convert the macros to use the combined argument.

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.

All of the callers of cpufreq_update_util() pass rq_clock(rq) to it
as the time argument and some of them check whether or not cpu_of(rq)
is equal to smp_processor_id() before calling it, so rework it to
take a runqueue pointer as the argument and move the rq_clock(rq)

Additionally, provide a wrapper checking cpu_of(rq) against

It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just
been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util()
and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data.  However,
doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they
already take would be clumsy, so avoid it.

Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part
of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly.
This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced
with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow.

Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization
information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags
instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track
updates from the RT and DL sched classes.  Make it non-modular
too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at
large.

Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

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().
