There is a race between hotplug and energy_diff which might result
in endless loop in sched_group_energy. When this happens, the end
condition cannot be detected.
We can store how many CPUs we need to visit at the beginning, and
bail out of the energy calculation if we visit more cpus than expected.

Boosted RT tasks can be deboosted quickly, this makes boost usless
for RT tasks and causes lots of glitching. Use timers to prevent
de-boost too soon and wait for long enough such that next enqueue
happens after a threshold.
While this can be solved in the governor, there are following
advantages:
- The approach used is governor-independent
- Reduces boost group lock contention for frequently sleepers/wakers
Note:
Fixed build breakage due to schedfreq dependency which isn't used
for RT anymore.

commit 364f566537 upstream.
When issuing an IPI RT push, where an IPI is sent to each CPU that has more
than one RT task scheduled on it, it references the root domain's rto_mask,
that contains all the CPUs within the root domain that has more than one RT
task in the runable state. The problem is, after the IPIs are initiated, the
rq->lock is released. This means that the root domain that is associated to
the run queue could be freed while the IPIs are going around.
Add a sched_get_rd() and a sched_put_rd() that will increment and decrement
the root domain's ref count respectively. This way when initiating the IPIs,
the scheduler will up the root domain's ref count before releasing the
rq->lock, ensuring that the root domain does not go away until the IPI round
is complete.

commit ad0f1d9d65 upstream.
When the rto_push_irq_work_func() is called, it looks at the RT overloaded
bitmask in the root domain via the runqueue (rq->rd). The problem is that
during CPU up and down, nothing here stops rq->rd from changing between
taking the rq->rd->rto_lock and releasing it. That means the lock that is
released is not the same lock that was taken.
Instead of using this_rq()->rd to get the root domain, as the irq work is
part of the root domain, we can simply get the root domain from the irq work
that is passed to the routine:
container_of(work, struct root_domain, rto_push_work)
This keeps the root domain consistent.

commit 3effcb4247 upstream.
We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained
deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not
designed for such sort of tasks.
One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task
suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close
to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task
to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation,
the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation,
and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline
in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks.
Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which
the external event source suffered from a clock drift.
However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained
deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters:
runtime = 5 ms
deadline = 7 ms
[density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71
period = 1000 ms
If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms,
it will be awakened with the following parameters:
remaining runtime = 4
laxity = 5
presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80.
In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early
wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will
be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run.
The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep
receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this
behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running
more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run.
Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe
Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with
self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than
replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule
adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed
density.
A revised version of the idea is:
At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be
higher than its relative density, that is:
runtime / (deadline - t) <= dl_runtime / dl_deadline
Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move
it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max
remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without
over-running the allowed density:
runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t)
For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run:
runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5
runtime = 3.57 ms
Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy
that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative
runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch:
df8eac8caf ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline")
Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the
deadline.
Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for
all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions
about pros and cons.
[The main difference from the original commit is that
the BW_SHIFT define was not present yet. As BW_SHIFT was
introduced in a new feature, I just used the value (20),
likewise we used to use before the #define.
Other changes were required because of comments. - bistrot]

For the first type crash, the root cause is the push_task pointer will be
used without initialization on the out_lock path. And maybe cpu hotplug in/out
make this happen more easily.
For the second type crash, it hits 'BUG_ON(td->cpu != smp_processor_id());' in
smpboot_thread_fn(). It seems that OOPS was caused by migration/2 which actually
running on cpu1. And I haven't found what actually happened.
However, after this fix, the second type crash seems gone too.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

'cached_raw_freq' is used to get the next frequency quickly but should
always be in sync with sg_policy->next_freq. There are cases where it is
not and in such cases it should be reset to avoid switching to incorrect
frequencies.
Consider this case for example:
- policy->cur is 1.2 GHz (Max)
- New request comes for 780 MHz and we store that in cached_raw_freq.
- Based on 780 MHz, we calculate the effective frequency as 800 MHz.
- We then decide not to update the frequency as
sugov_up_down_rate_limit() return true.
- Here cached_raw_freq is 780 MHz and sg_policy->next_freq is 1.2 GHz.
- Now if the utilization doesn't change in next request, then the next
target frequency will still be 780 MHz and it will match with
cached_raw_freq and so we will directly return 1.2 GHz instead of 800
MHz.

cached_raw_freq when not in sync with next_freq").
This also updates sugov_update_commit() for handling up/down tunables, which

I was testing Daniel's changes with his test case, and tweaked it a
little. Instead of having the runtime equal to the deadline, I
increased the deadline ten fold.
Daniel's test case had:
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
To make it more interesting, I changed it to:
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 20 * 1000 * 1000; /* 20 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
The results were rather surprising. The behavior that Daniel's patch
was fixing came back. The task started using much more than .1% of the
CPU. More like 20%.
Looking into this I found that it was due to the dl_entity_overflow()
constantly returning true. That's because it uses the relative period
against relative runtime vs the absolute deadline against absolute
runtime.
runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_period
There's even a comment mentioning this, and saying that when relative
deadline equals relative period, that the equation is the same as using
deadline instead of period. That comment is backwards! What we really
want is:
runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_deadline
We care about if the runtime can make its deadline, not its period. And
then we can say "when the deadline equals the period, the equation is
the same as using dl_period instead of dl_deadline".
After correcting this, now when the task gets enqueued, it can throttle
correctly, and Daniel's fix to the throttling of sleeping deadline
tasks works even when the runtime and deadline are not the same.

[ Upstream commit df8eac8caf ]
During the activation, CBS checks if it can reuse the current task's
runtime and period. If the deadline of the task is in the past, CBS
cannot use the runtime, and so it replenishes the task. This rule
works fine for implicit deadline tasks (deadline == period), and the
CBS was designed for implicit deadline tasks. However, a task with
constrained deadline (deadine < period) might be awakened after the
deadline, but before the next period. In this case, replenishing the
task would allow it to run for runtime / deadline. As in this case
deadline < period, CBS enables a task to run for more than the
runtime / period. In a very loaded system, this can cause a domino
effect, making other tasks miss their deadlines.
To avoid this problem, in the activation of a constrained deadline
task after the deadline but before the next period, throttle the
task and set the replenishing timer to the begin of the next period,
unless it is boosted.
Reproducer:
--------------- %< ---------------
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int ret;
int flags = 0;
unsigned long l = 0;
struct timespec ts;
struct sched_attr attr;
memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr));
attr.size = sizeof(attr);
attr.sched_policy = SCHED_DEADLINE;
attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_deadline = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */
ts.tv_sec = 0;
ts.tv_nsec = 2000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */
ret = sched_setattr(0, &attr, flags);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("sched_setattr");
exit(-1);
}
for(;;) {
/* XXX: you may need to adjust the loop */
for (l = 0; l < 150000; l++);
/*
* The ideia is to go to sleep right before the deadline
* and then wake up before the next period to receive
* a new replenishment.
*/
nanosleep(&ts, NULL);
}
exit(0);
}
--------------- >% ---------------
On my box, this reproducer uses almost 50% of the CPU time, which is
obviously wrong for a task with 2/2000 reservation.

[ Upstream commit 5ac69d3778 ]
Currently, the replenishment timer is set to fire at the deadline
of a task. Although that works for implicit deadline tasks because the
deadline is equals to the begin of the next period, that is not correct
for constrained deadline tasks (deadline < period).
For instance:
f.c:
--------------- %< ---------------
int main (void)
{
for(;;);
}
--------------- >% ---------------
# gcc -o f f.c
# trace-cmd record -e sched:sched_switch \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_sched_setattr \
chrt -d --sched-runtime 490000000 \
--sched-deadline 500000000 \
--sched-period 1000000000 0 ./f
# trace-cmd report | grep "{pid of ./f}"
After setting parameters, the task is replenished and continue running
until being throttled:
f-11295 [003] 13322.113776: sys_exit_sched_setattr: 0x0
The task is throttled after running 492318 ms, as expected:
f-11295 [003] 13322.606094: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> watchdog/3:32 [0]
But then, the task is replenished 500719 ms after the first
replenishment:
<idle>-0 [003] 13322.614495: sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> f:11295 [-1]
Running for 490277 ms:
f-11295 [003] 13323.104772: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> swapper/3:0 [120]
Hence, in the first period, the task runs 2 * runtime, and that is a bug.
During the first replenishment, the next deadline is set one period away.
So the runtime / period starts to be respected. However, as the second
replenishment took place in the wrong instant, the next replenishment
will also be held in a wrong instant of time. Rather than occurring in
the nth period away from the first activation, it is taking place
in the (nth period - relative deadline).

commit f73c52a5bc upstream.
Daniel Wagner reported a crash on the BeagleBone Black SoC.
This is a single CPU architecture, and does not have a functional
arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() implementation which can crash
the kernel if that is called.
As it only has one CPU, it shouldn't be called, but if the kernel is
compiled for SMP, the push/pull RT scheduling logic now calls it for
irq_work if the one CPU is overloaded, it can use that function to call
itself and crash the kernel.
Ideally, we should disable the SCHED_FEAT(RT_PUSH_IPI) if the system
only has a single CPU. But SCHED_FEAT is a constant if sched debugging
is turned off. Another fix can also be used, and this should also help
with normal SMP machines. That is, do not initiate the pull code if
there's only one RT overloaded CPU, and that CPU happens to be the
current CPU that is scheduling in a lower priority task.
Even on a system with many CPUs, if there's many RT tasks waiting to
run on a single CPU, and that CPU schedules in another RT task of lower
priority, it will initiate the PULL logic in case there's a higher
priority RT task on another CPU that is waiting to run. But if there is
no other CPU with waiting RT tasks, it will initiate the RT pull logic
on itself (as it still has RT tasks waiting to run). This is a wasted
effort.
Not only does this help with SMP code where the current CPU is the only
one with RT overloaded tasks, it should also solve the issue that
Daniel encountered, because it will prevent the PULL logic from
executing, as there's only one CPU on the system, and the check added
here will cause it to exit the RT pull code.

commit 4bdced5c9a upstream.
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

commit 7c2102e56a upstream.
The current implementation of synchronize_sched_expedited() incorrectly
assumes that resched_cpu() is unconditional, which it is not. This means
that synchronize_sched_expedited() can hang when resched_cpu()'s trylock
fails as follows (analysis by Neeraj Upadhyay):
o CPU1 is waiting for expedited wait to complete:
sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus
rdp->exp_dynticks_snap & 0x1 // returns 1 for CPU5
IPI sent to CPU5
synchronize_sched_expedited_wait
ret = swait_event_timeout(rsp->expedited_wq,
sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done(rnp_root),
jiffies_stall);
expmask = 0x20, CPU 5 in idle path (in cpuidle_enter())
o CPU5 handles IPI and fails to acquire rq lock.
Handles IPI
sync_sched_exp_handler
resched_cpu
returns while failing to try lock acquire rq->lock
need_resched is not set
o CPU5 calls rcu_idle_enter() and as need_resched is not set, goes to
idle (schedule() is not called).
o CPU 1 reports RCU stall.
Given that resched_cpu() is now used only by RCU, this commit fixes the
assumption by making resched_cpu() unconditional.

Boosted RT tasks can be deboosted quickly, this makes boost usless
for RT tasks and causes lots of glitching. Use timers to prevent
de-boost too soon and wait for long enough such that next enqueue
happens after a threshold.
While this can be solved in the governor, there are following
advantages:
- The approach used is governor-independent
- Reduces boost group lock contention for frequently sleepers/wakers
- Works with schedfreq without any other schedfreq hacks.

Upmigrate misfit current task upon scheduler tick with stopper.
We can kick an random (not necessarily big CPU) NOHZ idle CPU when a
CPU bound task is in need of upmigration. But it's not efficient as that
way needs following unnecessary wakeups:
1. Busy little CPU A to kick idle B
2. B runs idle balancer and enqueue migration/A
3. B goes idle
4. A runs migration/A, enqueues busy task on B.
5. B wakes up again.
This change makes active upmigration more efficiently by doing:
1. Busy little CPU A find target CPU B upon tick.
2. CPU A enqueues migration/A.

If the EAS energy model is missing or incomplete, i.e. sd_scs is NULL, then
sched_group_energy will return -EINVAL on the assumption that it raced with a
CPU hotplug event. In that case, energy_diff will return 0 and the energy-aware
wake path will silently fail to trigger any migrations.
This case can be triggered by disabling CONFIG_SCHED_MC on existing platforms,
so that there are no sched_groups with the SD_SHARE_CAP_STATES flag, so that
sd_scs is NULL.
Add checks so that a warning is printed if EAS is ever enabled while the
necessary data is not present.

It is preferable that WALT window rollover occurs just
before a tick, since the tick is an opportune moment
to record a complete window's statistics, as well as report
those stats to the cpu frequency governor. When CONFIG_HZ
results in a TICK_NSEC that isn't a integral number, this
requirement may be violated. Account for this by reducing
the WALT window size to the nearest multiple of TICK_NSEC.
Commit d368c6faa1 ("sched: walt: fix window misalignment
when HZ=300") attempted to do this but WALT isn't using
MIN_SCHED_RAVG_WINDOW as the window size and the patch was
doing nothing.
Also, change the type of 'walt_disabled' to bool and warn
if an invalid window size causes WALT to be disabled.

(from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9895261/)
This patch adds a parameter to select_task_rq, sibling_count_hint
allowing the caller, where it has this information, to inform the
sched_class the number of tasks that are being woken up as part of
the same event.
The wake_q mechanism is one case where this information is available.
select_task_rq_fair can then use the information to detect that it
needs to widen the search space for task placement in order to avoid
overloading the last-level cache domain's CPUs.
* * *
The reason I am investigating this change is the following use case
on ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU capacity): 1 task per CPU, which
all repeatedly do X amount of work then
pthread_barrier_wait (i.e. sleep until the last task finishes its X
and hits the barrier). On big.LITTLE, the tasks which get a "big" CPU
finish faster, and then those CPUs pull over the tasks that are still
running:
v CPU v ->time->
-------------
0 (big) 11111 /333
-------------
1 (big) 22222 /444|
-------------
2 (LITTLE) 333333/
-------------
3 (LITTLE) 444444/
-------------
Now when task 4 hits the barrier (at |) and wakes the others up,
there are 4 tasks with prev_cpu=<big> and 0 tasks with
prev_cpu=<little>. want_affine therefore means that we'll only look
in CPUs 0 and 1 (sd_llc), so tasks will be unnecessarily coscheduled
on the bigs until the next load balance, something like this:
v CPU v ->time->
------------------------
0 (big) 11111 /333 31313\33333
------------------------
1 (big) 22222 /444|424\4444444
------------------------
2 (LITTLE) 333333/ \222222
------------------------
3 (LITTLE) 444444/ \1111
------------------------
^^^
underutilization
So, I'm trying to get want_affine = 0 for these tasks.
I don't _think_ any incarnation of the wakee_flips mechanism can help
us here because which task is waker and which tasks are wakees
generally changes with each iteration.
However pthread_barrier_wait (or more accurately FUTEX_WAKE) has the
nice property that we know exactly how many tasks are being woken, so
we can cheat.
It might be a disadvantage that we "widen" _every_ task that's woken in
an event, while select_idle_sibling would work fine for the first
sd_llc_size - 1 tasks.
IIUC, if wake_affine() behaves correctly this trick wouldn't be
necessary on SMP systems, so it might be best guarded by the presence
of SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY?

Final note..
In order to observe "perfect" behaviour for this use case, I also had
to disable the TTWU_QUEUE sched feature. Suppose during the wakeup
above we are working through the work queue and have placed tasks 3
and 2, and are about to place task 1:
v CPU v ->time->
--------------
0 (big) 11111 /333 3
--------------
1 (big) 22222 /444|4
--------------
2 (LITTLE) 333333/ 2
--------------
3 (LITTLE) 444444/ <- Task 1 should go here
--------------
If TTWU_QUEUE is enabled, we will not yet have enqueued task
2 (having instead sent a reschedule IPI) or attached its load to CPU
2. So we are likely to also place task 1 on cpu 2. Disabling
TTWU_QUEUE means that we enqueue task 2 before placing task 1,
solving this issue. TTWU_QUEUE is there to minimise rq lock
contention, and I guess that this contention is less of an issue on
big.LITTLE systems since they have relatively few CPUs, which
suggests the trade-off makes sense here.

Energy cost estimation has been a long lasting challenge for WALT
because WALT guides CPU frequency based on the CPU utilization of
previous window. Consequently it's not possible to know newly
waking-up task's energy cost until WALT's end of the current window.
The WALT already tracks 'Previous Runnable Sum' (prev_runnable_sum)
and 'Cumulative Runnable Average' (cr_avg). They are designed for
CPU frequency guidance and task placement but unfortunately both
are not suitable for the energy cost estimation.
It's because using prev_runnable_sum for energy cost calculation would
make us to account CPU and task's energy solely based on activity in the
previous window so for example, any task didn't have an activity in the
previous window will be accounted as a 'zero energy cost' task.
Energy estimation with cr_avg is what energy_diff() relies on at present.
However cr_avg can only represent instantaneous picture of energy cost
thus for example, if a CPU was fully occupied for an entire WALT window
and became idle just before window boundary, and if there is a wake-up,
energy_diff() accounts that CPU is a 'zero energy cost' CPU.
As a result, introduce a new accounting unit 'Cumulative Window Demand'.
The cumulative window demand tracks all the tasks' demands have seen in
current window which is neither instantaneous nor actual execution time.
Because task demand represents estimated scaled execution time when the
task runs a full window, accumulation of all the demands represents
predicted CPU load at the end of window.
Thus we can estimate CPU's frequency at the end of current WALT window
with the cumulative window demand.
The use of prev_runnable_sum for the CPU frequency guidance and cr_avg
for the task placement have not changed and these are going to be used
for both purpose while this patch aims to add an additional statistics.

Patch 5680f23f20 ("sched/fair: streamline find_best_target
heuristics") has reworked function find_best_target, as result the
variable "target_util" is useless now. So remove it.

schedtune_initialized is protected by CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHEDTUNE, but
is being used without CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHEDTUNE being defined. Add
appropriate ifdefs around the usage of schedtune_initialized to
avoid a compilation error when CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHEDTUNE is not
defined.

The group_max_util() function is used to compute the maximum utilization
across the CPUs of a certain energy_env configuration.
Its main client is the energy_diff function when it needs to compute the
SG capacity for one of the before/after scheduling candidates.
Currently, the energy_diff function sets util_delta = 0 when it wants to
compute the energy corresponding to the scheduling candidate where the
task runs in the previous CPU. This implies that, for the task waking up
in the previous CPU we consider only its blocked load tracked by the CPU
RQ. However, in case of a medium-big task which is waking up on a long
time idle CPU, this blocked load can be already completely decayed.
More in general, the current approach is biased towards under-estimating
the capacity requirements for the "before" scheduling candidate.
This patch fixes this by:
- always use the cpu_util_wake() to properly get the utilization of a CPU
without any (partially decayed) contribution of the waking up task
- adding the task utilization to the cpu_util_wake just for the target
cpu
The "target CPU" is defined by the energy_env to be either the src_cpu or
the dst_cpu, depending on which scheduling candidate we are considering.
Finally, since this update removes the last usage of calc_util_delta()
this function is now safely removed.

The group_norm_util() function is used to compute the normalized
utilization of a SG given a certain energy_env configuration.
The main client of this function is the energy_diff function when it
comes to compute the SG energy for one of the before/after scheduling
candidates.
Currently, the energy_diff function sets util_delta = 0 when it wants to
compute the energy corresponding to the scheduling candidate where the
task runs in the previous CPU. This implies that, for the task waking up
in the previous CPU we consider only its blocked load tracked by the CPU
RQ. However, in case of a medium-big task which is waking up on a long
time idle CPU, this blocked load can be already completely decayed.
More in general, the current approach is biased towards under-estimating
the energy consumption for the "before" scheduling candidate.
This patch fixes this by:
- always use the cpu_util_wake() to properly get the utilization of a CPU
without any (partially decayed) contribution of the waking up task
- adding the task utilization to the cpu_util_wake just for the
target cpu
The "target CPU" is defined by the energy_env to be either the src_cpu
or the dst_cpu, depending on which scheduling candidate we are
considering.
This patch update also the definition of __cpu_norm_util(), which is
currently called just by the group_norm_util() function. This allows to
simplify the code by using this function just to normalize a specified
utilization with respect to a given capacity.
This update allows to completely remove any dependency of
group_norm_util() from calc_util_delta().
