Kirill reported that a dl task can be throttled and dequeued at the
same time. This happens, when it becomes throttled in schedule(),
which is called to go to sleep:
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule()
deactivate_task()
dequeue_task_dl()
update_curr_dl()
start_dl_timer()
__dequeue_task_dl()
prev->on_rq = 0;
This invalidates the assumption from commit 0f397f2c90ce ("sched/dl:
Fix race in dl_task_timer()"):
"The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because
we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are
thus free of ttwu races".
And therefore we have to use the full task_rq_lock() here.
This further amends the fact that we forgot to update the rq lock loop
for TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATE, from commit cca26e8009d1 ("sched: Teach
scheduler to understand TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING state").

The original purpose of rq::skip_clock_update was to avoid 'costly' clock
updates for back to back wakeup-preempt pairs. The big problem with it
has always been that the rq variable is unaware of the context and
causes indiscrimiate clock skips.
Rework the entire thing and create a sense of context by only allowing
schedule() to skip clock updates. (XXX can we measure the cost of the
added store?)
By ensuring only schedule can ever skip an update, we guarantee we're
never more than 1 tick behind on the update.

rq->clock{,_task} are serialized by rq->lock, verify this.
One immediate fail is the usage in scale_rt_capability, so 'annotate'
that for now, there's more 'funny' there. Maybe change rq->lock into a
raw_seqlock_t?

Commit d670ec13178d0 "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles" fixes one glibc
test case in cost of breaking another one. After that commit, calling
clock_nanosleep(TIMER_ABSTIME, X) and then clock_gettime(&Y) can result
of Y time being smaller than X time.
Reproducer/tester can be found further below, it can be compiled and ran by:
gcc -o tst-cpuclock2 tst-cpuclock2.c -pthread
while ./tst-cpuclock2 ; do : ; done
This reproducer, when running on a buggy kernel, will complain
about "clock_gettime difference too small".
Issue happens because on start in thread_group_cputimer() we initialize
sum_exec_runtime of cputimer with threads runtime not yet accounted and
then add the threads runtime to running cputimer again on scheduler
tick, making it's sum_exec_runtime bigger than actual threads runtime.
KOSAKI Motohiro posted a fix for this problem, but that patch was never
applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/26/191 .
This patch takes different approach to cure the problem. It calls
update_curr() when cputimer starts, that assure we will have updated
stats of running threads and on the next schedule tick we will account
only the runtime that elapsed from cputimer start. That also assure we
have consistent state between cpu times of individual threads and cpu
time of the process consisted by those threads.

This patch simplifies task_struct by removing the four numa_* pointers
in the same array and replacing them with the array pointer. By doing this,
on x86_64, the size of task_struct is reduced by 3 ulong pointers (24 bytes on
x86_64).
A new parameter is added to the task_faults_idx function so that it can return
an index to the correct offset, corresponding with the old precalculated
pointers.
All of the code in sched/ that depended on task_faults_idx and numa_* was
changed in order to match the new logic.

Currently used hrtimer_try_to_cancel() is racy:
raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock)
... dl_task_timer raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock)
... raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock) ...
switched_from_dl() ... ...
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() ... ...

... ... ...
... ... ...
raw_spin_unlock(&rq->lock) ... (asquired)
... ... ...
... ... ...

raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock) ... raw_spin_unlock(&rq->lock)
... ... ...
raw_spin_unlock(&rq->lock) ... raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock)
... ... (asquired)
put_task_struct() ... ...
free_task_struct() ... ...
... ... raw_spin_unlock(&rq->lock)
... (asquired) ...
... ... ...
... (use after free) ...
So, let's implement 100% guaranteed way to cancel the timer and let's
be sure we are safe even in very unlikely situations.
rq unlocking does not limit the area of switched_from_dl() use, because
this has already been possible in pull_dl_task() below.
Let's consider the safety of of this unlocking. New code in the patch
is working when hrtimer_try_to_cancel() fails. This means the callback
is running. In this case hrtimer_cancel() is just waiting till the
callback is finished. Two
1) Since we are in switched_from_dl(), new class is not dl_sched_class and
new prio is not less MAX_DL_PRIO. So, the callback returns early; it's
right after !dl_task() check. After that hrtimer_cancel() returns back too.
The above is:
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
... dl_task_timer()
... raw_spin_lock(rq->lock);
switched_from_dl() ...
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() ...
raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock); ...
hrtimer_cancel() ...
... raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock);
... return HRTIMER_NORESTART;
... ...
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
2) But the below is also possible:
dl_task_timer()
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock);
...
raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock);
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
switched_from_dl() ...
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() ...
... return HRTIMER_NORESTART;
raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock); ...
hrtimer_cancel(); ...
raw_spin_lock(rq->lock); ...
In this case hrtimer_cancel() returns immediately. Very unlikely case,
just to mention.
Nobody can manipulate the task, because check_class_changed() is
always called with pi_lock locked. Nobody can force the task to
participate in (concurrent) priority inheritance schemes (the same reason).
All concurrent task operations require pi_lock, which is held by us.
No deadlocks with dl_task_timer() are possible, because it returns
right after !dl_task() check (it does nothing).
If we receive a new dl_task during the time of unlocked rq, we just
don't have to do pull_dl_task() in switched_from_dl() further.

exclusive cpusets
Exclusive cpusets are the only way users can restrict SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
affinity (performing what is commonly called clustered scheduling).
Unfortunately, such thing is currently broken for two reasons:
- No check is performed when the user tries to attach a task to
an exlusive cpuset (recall that exclusive cpusets have an
associated maximum allowed bandwidth).
- Bandwidths of source and destination cpusets are not correctly
updated after a task is migrated between them.
This patch fixes both things at once, as they are opposite faces
of the same coin.
The check is performed in cpuset_can_attach(), as there aren't any
points of failure after that function. The updated is split in two
halves. We first reserve bandwidth in the destination cpuset, after
we pass the check in cpuset_can_attach(). And we then release
bandwidth from the source cpuset when the task's affinity is
actually changed. Even if there can be time windows when sched_setattr()
may erroneously fail in the source cpuset, we are fine with it, as
we can't perfom an atomic update of both cpusets at once.

Smaller NUMA systems tend to have all NUMA nodes directly connected
to each other. This includes the degenerate case of a system with just
one node, ie. a non-NUMA system.
Larger systems can have two kinds of NUMA topology, which affects how
tasks and memory should be placed on the system.
On glueless mesh systems, nodes that are not directly connected to
each other will bounce traffic through intermediary nodes. Task groups
can be run closer to each other by moving tasks from a node to an
intermediary node between it and the task's preferred node.
On NUMA systems with backplane controllers, the intermediary hops
are incapable of running programs. This creates "islands" of nodes
that are at an equal distance to anywhere else in the system.
Each kind of topology requires a slightly different placement
algorithm; this patch provides the mechanism to detect the kind
of NUMA topology of a system.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

When the cpu enters idle, it stores the cpuidle state pointer in its
struct rq instance which in turn could be used to make a better decision
when balancing tasks.
As soon as the cpu exits its idle state, the struct rq reference is
cleared.
There are a couple of situations where the idle state pointer could be changed
while it is being consulted:
1. For x86/acpi with dynamic c-states, when a laptop switches from battery
to AC that could result on removing the deeper idle state. The acpi driver
triggers:
'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed'
'cpuidle_pause_and_lock'
'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler'
'kick_all_cpus_sync'.
All cpus will exit their idle state and the pointed object will be set to
NULL.
2. The cpuidle driver is unloaded. Logically that could happen but not
in practice because the drivers are always compiled in and 95% of them are
not coded to unregister themselves. In any case, the unloading code must
call 'cpuidle_unregister_device', that calls 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock'
leading to 'kick_all_cpus_sync' as mentioned above.
A race can happen if we use the pointer and then one of these two scenarios
occurs at the same moment.
In order to be safe, the idle state pointer stored in the rq must be
used inside a rcu_read_lock section where we are protected with the
'rcu_barrier' in the 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' function. The
idle_get_state() and idle_put_state() accessors should be used to that
effect.

When a task is using SCHED_DEADLINE and the user setschedules it to a
different class its sched_dl_entity static parameters are not cleaned
up. This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with
the same parameters again. The problem resides in the check we
perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow():
if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw)
return 0;
This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function
returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not
added to it). After this, admission control is broken.
This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a
task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE.

This is a new p->on_rq state which will be used to indicate that a task
is in a process of migrating between two RQs. It allows to get
rid of double_rq_lock(), which we used to use to change a rq of
a queued task before.
Let's consider an example. To move a task between src_rq and
dst_rq we will do the following:
raw_spin_lock(&src_rq->lock);
/* p is a task which is queued on src_rq */
p = ...;
dequeue_task(src_rq, p, 0);
p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING;
set_task_cpu(p, dst_cpu);
raw_spin_unlock(&src_rq->lock);
/*
* Both RQs are unlocked here.
* Task p is dequeued from src_rq
* but its on_rq value is not zero.
*/
raw_spin_lock(&dst_rq->lock);
p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED;
enqueue_task(dst_rq, p, 0);
raw_spin_unlock(&dst_rq->lock);
While p->on_rq is TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING, task is considered as
"migrating", and other parallel scheduler actions with it are
not available to parallel callers. The parallel caller is
spining till migration is completed.
The unavailable actions are changing of cpu affinity, changing
of priority etc, in other words all the functionality which used
to require task_rq(p)->lock before (and related to the task).
To implement TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING support we primarily are using
the following fact. Most of scheduler users (from which we are
protecting a migrating task) use task_rq_lock() and
__task_rq_lock() to get the lock of task_rq(p). These primitives
know that task's cpu may change, and they are spining while the
lock of the right RQ is not held. We add one more condition into
them, so they will be also spinning until the migration is
finished.

Implement task_on_rq_queued() and use it everywhere instead of
on_rq check. No functional changes.
The only exception is we do not use the wrapper in
check_for_tasks(), because it requires to export
task_on_rq_queued() in global header files. Next patch in series
would return it back, so we do not twist it from here to there.

We always use resched_task() with rq->curr argument.
It's not possible to reschedule any task but rq's current.
The patch introduces resched_curr(struct rq *) to
replace all of the repeating patterns. The main aim
is cleanup, but there is a little size profit too:
(before)
$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
text data bss dec hex filename
155274 16445 7042 178761 2ba49 kernel/sched/built-in.o
$ size vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
7411490 1178376 991232 9581098 92322a vmlinux
(after)
$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
text data bss dec hex filename
155130 16445 7042 178617 2b9b9 kernel/sched/built-in.o
$ size vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
7411362 1178376 991232 9580970 9231aa vmlinux
I was choosing between resched_curr() and resched_rq(),
and the first name looks better for me.
A little lie in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt. I have not
actually collected the tracing again. With a hope the patch
won't make execution times much worse :)

When a system is lightly loaded (i.e. no more than 1 job per cpu),
attempt to pull job to a cpu before putting it to idle is unnecessary and
can be skipped. This patch adds an indicator so the scheduler can know
when there's no more than 1 active job is on any CPU in the system to
skip needless job pulls.
On a 4 socket machine with a request/response kind of workload from
clients, we saw about 0.13 msec delay when we go through a full load
balance to try pull job from all the other cpus. While 0.1 msec was
spent on processing the request and generating a response, the 0.13 msec
load balance overhead was actually more than the actual work being done.
This overhead can be skipped much of the time for lightly loaded systems.
With this patch, we tested with a netperf request/response workload that
has the server busy with half the cpus in a 4 socket system. We found
the patch eliminated 75% of the load balance attempts before idling a cpu.
The overhead of setting/clearing the indicator is low as we already gather
the necessary info while we call add_nr_running() and update_sd_lb_stats.()
We switch to full load balance load immediately if any cpu got more than
one job on its run queue in add_nr_running. We'll clear the indicator
to avoid load balance when we detect no cpu's have more than one job
when we scan the work queues in update_sg_lb_stats(). We are aggressive
in turning on the load balance and opportunistic in skipping the load
balance.

A full dynticks CPU is allowed to stop its tick when a single task runs.
Meanwhile when a new task gets enqueued, the CPU must be notified so that
it can restart its tick to maintain local fairness and other accounting
details.
This notification is performed by way of an IPI. Then when the target
receives the IPI, we expect it to see the new value of rq->nr_running.
Hence the following ordering scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
write rq->running get IPI
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
send IPI read rq->nr_running
But Paul Mckenney says that nowadays IPIs imply a full barrier on
all architectures. So we can safely remove this pair and rely on the
implicit barriers that come along IPI send/receive. Lets
just comment on this new assumption.

Now that we have a nohz full remote kick based on irq work, lets use
it to notify a CPU that it's exiting single task mode.
This unbloats a bit the scheduler IPI that the nohz code was abusing
for its cool "callable anywhere/anytime" properties.

[ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like
99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few.
The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a
reliable indication that the idle task is polling. Once that's done,
the rest is reasonably straightforward. ]
When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the
work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over.
However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we
don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it
up and have the 'idle' loop do the work.
So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet)
set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent
to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create
confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too
liberally.
This is the remaining "power" -> "capacity" rename for local symbols.
Those symbols visible to the rest of the kernel are not included yet.

Since struct sched_group_power is really about compute capacity of sched
groups, let's rename it to struct sched_group_capacity. Similarly sgp
becomes sgc. Related variables and functions dealing with groups are also
adjusted accordingly.

tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() sets cfs_b->timer_active to 0 to
force the period timer restart. It's not safe, because
can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccbf0:
"__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."
Three CPUs must be involved:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
take rq->lock period timer fired
... take cfs_b lock
... ... tg_set_cfs_bandwidth()
throttle_cfs_rq() release cfs_b lock take cfs_b lock
... distribute_cfs_runtime() timer_active = 0
take cfs_b->lock wait for rq->lock ...
__start_cfs_bandwidth()
{wait for timer callback
break if timer_active == 1}
So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked.
Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can
wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and
restart the timer explicitly.

Sometimes ->nr_running may cross 2 but interrupt is not being
sent to rq's cpu. In this case we don't reenable the timer.
Looks like this may be the reason for rare unexpected effects,
if nohz is enabled.

and makes add_nr_running() caring about crossing border.

We add new member rt_rq->rt_queued, which is used to indicate this.
The member is used only for top queue rq->rt_rq.

When update_rq_clock_task() accounts the pending steal time for a task,
it converts the steal delta from nsecs to tick then from tick to nsecs.
There is no apparent good reason for doing that though because both
the task clock and the prev steal delta are u64 and store values
in nsecs.
So lets remove the needless conversion.

1) Single cpu machine case.
When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked
because of throttling, we enter in endless loop.
pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL.
In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry
if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running)
return RETRY_TASK;
(rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes
throttled).
No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here,
because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are
disabled.
2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock
rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled.
The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT
classes instead of checking for sum.
