The current hotplug admission control is broken because:

Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is
that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible
to get right.

The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl
bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is
undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us
hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks.

Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl
bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly
confusing imo.

Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we
actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case
the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl.

So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point
is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget.

This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control
and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that
this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to
need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface
for now.

For now deadline tasks are not allowed to set smp affinity; however
the current tests are wrong, cure this.

The test in __sched_setscheduler() also uses an on-stack cpumask_t
which is a no-no.

Change both tests to use cpumask_subset() such that we test the root
domain span to be a subset of the cpus_allowed mask. This way we're
sure the tasks can always run on all CPUs they can be balanced over,
and have no effective affinity constraints.

Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing
logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of
tasks (as sched_rt does).

Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines
of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by
a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system
is heavily loaded.

The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by
design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt
on large multi-CPUs machines [1].

Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure
also for pull decisions is straightforward. However, we are currently
evaluating different (in order to decrease/avoid contention) data
structures to solve possibly both problems. We are also going to re-run
tests considering recent changes inside cpupri [2].

In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is
important that some method of having the allocation of the available
CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control.
This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed
at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the
-deadline tasks.

Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a
bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of
runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate
such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both
procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group
settings).

Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the
bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e.,
new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with
the same usage paradigm are added.

However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how
we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level.
Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually
very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization
cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP
configurations).

Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and
RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own
(while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level
throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth.

This patch, therefore:

 - adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of:
    * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us,
    * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us,
   that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth
   available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks;

 - couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces
   that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt
   -deadline tasks to stay below 100%.

This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks
can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below:

    M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us)

It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and
be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with
the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that
needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of
the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation).

This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution,
what this commits does is:

 - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead,
   when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's
   deadline is postponed;

 - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime)
   used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the
   pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline.

Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner,
still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous
commit) pi-architecture.

We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but
clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start
discussion within the community. So, as always, comments, ideas, rants,
etc.. are welcome! :-)

Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code,
and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and
-priority tasks.

This is done mainly because:
 - classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might
   not be enough for representing a deadline;
 - manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks),
   which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases.

Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according
to the following logic:
 - among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the
   one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins;
 - among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins;
 - among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline
   wins.

Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both
the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on
a pi-lock.

Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic
migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if
runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing
where a task should migrate, when it is the case.

Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can
be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a
task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of
migrating, or forbidding migrations at all.

The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised:
 - -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues,
 - -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the
   following:
    * on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks
      are always running;
    * affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is
      always respected.

Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with
an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between
runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled.
IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent
to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing
(push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull
the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU.

To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any
scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each
scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives
or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into
account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline.
E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake
up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task
with the latest deadline among the M executing ones.

In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the
deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used.
Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to
speed-up pushes.

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.

Make sure to always initialize power_orig now that we actually use it.

Ideally build_sched_domains() -> init_sched_groups_power() would also
initialize this; but for some yet unexplained reason some setups seem
to miss updates there.

Add a new function to the scheduling class interface. It is called
at the end of a context switch, if the prev task is in TASK_DEAD state.

It will be useful for the scheduling classes that want to be notified
when one of their tasks dies, e.g. to perform some cleanup actions,
such as SCHED_DEADLINE.

schedule_debug() ignores in_atomic() if prev->exit_state != 0.
This is not what we want, ->exit_state is set by exit_notify()
but we should complain until the task does the last schedule()
in TASK_DEAD.

See also 7407251a "PF_DEAD cleanup", I think this ancient
commit explains why schedule() had to rely on ->exit_state,
until that commit exit_notify() disabled preemption and set
PF_DEAD which was used to detect the exiting task.

Tony reported that aa0d5326 ("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.
