A new task's util_avg is set to full utilization of a CPU (100% time
running). This accelerates a new task's utilization ramp-up, useful to
boost its execution in early time. However, it may result in
(insanely) high utilization for a transient time period when a flood
of tasks are spawned. Importantly, it violates the "fundamentally
bounded" CPU utilization, and its side effect is negative if we don't
take any measure to bound it.
This patch proposes an algorithm to address this issue. It has
two methods to approach a sensible initial util_avg:
(1) An expected (or average) util_avg based on its cfs_rq's util_avg:
util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight
(2) A trajectory of how successive new tasks' util develops, which
gives 1/2 of the left utilization budget to a new task such that
the additional util is noticeably large (when overall util is low) or
unnoticeably small (when overall util is high enough). In the meantime,
the aggregate utilization is well bounded:
util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n
where n denotes the nth task.
If util_avg is larger than util_avg_cap, then the effective util is
clamped to the util_avg_cap.

Fix if (best_idle > 0) since best_idle_cpu = 0 is a valid target.
Use 'unsigned long' data type for best_idle_capacity.
Since we're looking for the shallowest best_idle_cstate initialize
best_idle_cstate = INT_MAX. For cpus which are not idle (idle_idx = -1)
the condition 'if (idle_idx < best_idle_cstate && ...)' is never

The schedtune task parameter 'boosted' is mapped into the cpu iteration
order. Currently for 'boosted' equal true the iteration starts at the
last cpu (NR_CPUS-1) whereas for 'boosted' equal false it starts at the
first cpu (0).
This only has the desired effect if the cpu topology oerdering matches
the underlying assumption. This e.g. is the case for the
Qc snapdragon 821 with its [L0 L1 b0 b1] cpu topology layout
(L=lower max freq, b=higher max freq). This results in cpus with higher
maximum capacity being given the highest logical cpu ids. However not
all big.LITTLE systems enumerate their cpus in the same way. For example,
the ARM Versatile Express Juno board has 6 cpus for which the default
configuration has topology [L0 b0 b1 L1 L2 L3].
To make this approach independent from the cpu topology layout it now
iterates over the cpus in the order of the sched_groups of the EAS
sched_domain (sd_ea). The order of cpu iteration is different for the
different cpu types in case the cpu is used to dereference sd_ea.
Considering the Qc snapdragon 821 again, for cpu L0 and L1 the order is
'b0->b1->L0->L1' whereas for b0 and b1 the order is 'b0->b1->L0->L1'.
This approach does not allow the exact same iteration order as with the
currently used flat iteration over [0 .. NR_CPUS-1] but the cpus
are ordered by the original cpu capacity.
The cpu iteration is now done in the sd_ea sched_group order required by
the 'boosted' value ['L0->L1->b0->b1'/'b0->b1->L0->L1'] rather than
forward/backward over the flat cpu space ['L0->L1->b0->b1'/
'b1->b0->L1->L0'].

This will allow to start iterating from a cpu with max or min original
capacity in the wakeup path regardless on which cpu the scheduler is
currently running (smp_processor_id()) or the previous cpu of the task
(task_cpu(p)). This iteration has to happen on a sched_domain spanning
all cpus in the order of the sched_groups of this sched_domain seen by
the starting cpu.
In case of an SMP system the first cpu with max orig capacity and the
the one with min orig capacity is the same. This can temporally happen
on a big.LITTLE system with hotplug as well.
E.g. the different order of cpu iteration can be used to map schedtune
task parameter 'boosted' into the cpu iteration order in
find_best_target().
Use of READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to avoid load/store tearing.

When the systems is not overutilized, place waking tasks on the most
energy efficient cpu. Previous attempts reduced the search space by
matching task utilization to cpu capacity before consulting the energy
model as this is an expensive operation. The search heuristics didn't
work very well and lacking any better alternatives this patch takes the
brute-force route and tries all potential targets.
This approach doesn't scale, but it might be sufficient for many
embedded applications while work is continuing on a heuristic that can
minimize the necessary computations. The heuristic must be derrived from
the platform energy model rather than make additional assumptions, such
lower capacity implies better energy efficiency. PeterZ mentioned in the
past that we might be able to derrive some simpler deciding functions
using mathematical (modal?) analysis.

It is not worth the overhead to migrate tasks for tiny insignificant
energy savings. To prevent this, an energy margin is introduced in
energy_diff() which effectively adds a dead-zone that rounds tiny energy
differences to zero. Since no scale is enforced for energy model data
the margin can't be absolute. Instead it is defined as +/-1.56% energy
saving compared to the current total estimated energy consumption.

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().

Add a topology flag to the sched_domain hierarchy indicating the lowest
domain level where the full range of CPU capacities is represented by
the domain members for asymmetric capacity topologies (e.g. ARM
big.LITTLE).
The flag is intended to indicate that extra care should be taken when
placing tasks on CPUs and this level spans all the different types of
CPUs found in the system (no need to look further up the domain
hierarchy). This information is currently only available through
iterating through the capacities of all the CPUs at parent levels in the
sched_domain hierarchy.
SD 2 [ 0 1 2 3] SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY
SD 1 [ 0 1] [ 2 3] !SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY
CPU: 0 1 2 3
capacity: 756 756 1024 1024
If the topology in the example above is duplicated to create an eight
CPU example with third sched_domain level on top (SD 3), this level
should not have the flag set (!SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) as its two group
would both have all CPU capacities represented within them.

The rate_limit_us tunable is intended to reduce the possible overhead
from running the schedutil governor. However, that overhead can be
divided into two separate parts: the governor computations and the
invocation of the scaling driver to set the CPU frequency. The latter
is where the real overhead comes from. The former is much less
expensive in terms of execution time and running it every time the
governor callback is invoked by the scheduler, after rate_limit_us
interval has passed since the last frequency update, would not be a
problem.
For this reason, redefine the rate_limit_us tunable so that it means the
minimum time that has to pass between two consecutive invocations of the
scaling driver by the schedutil governor (to set the CPU frequency).

The rate-limit tunable in the schedutil governor applies to transitions
to both lower and higher frequencies. On several platforms it is not the
ideal tunable though, as it is difficult to get best power/performance
figures using the same limit in both directions.
It is common on mobile platforms with demanding user interfaces to want
to increase frequency rapidly for example but decrease slowly.
One of the example can be a case where we have short busy periods
followed by similar or longer idle periods. If we keep the rate-limit
high enough, we will not go to higher frequencies soon enough. On the
other hand, if we keep it too low, we will have too many frequency
transitions, as we will always reduce the frequency after the busy
period.
It would be very useful if we can set low rate-limit while increasing
the frequency (so that we can respond to the short busy periods quickly)
and high rate-limit while decreasing frequency (so that we don't reduce
the frequency immediately after the short busy period and that may avoid
frequency transitions before the next busy period).
Implement separate up/down transition rate limits. Note that the
governor avoids frequency recalculations for a period equal to minimum
of up and down rate-limit. A global mutex is also defined to protect
updates to min_rate_limit_us via two separate sysfs files.
Note that this wouldn't change behavior of the schedutil governor for
the platforms which wish to keep same values for both up and down rate
limits.
This is tested with the rt-app [1] on ARM Exynos, dual A15 processor
platform.
Testcase: Run a SCHED_OTHER thread on CPU0 which will emulate work-load
for X ms of busy period out of the total period of Y ms, i.e. Y - X ms
of idle period. The values of X/Y taken were: 20/40, 20/50, 20/70, i.e
idle periods of 20, 30 and 50 ms respectively. These were tested against
values of up/down rate limits as: 10/10 ms and 10/40 ms.
For every test we noticed a performance increase of 5-10% with the
schedutil governor, which was very much expected.
[Viresh]: Simplified user interface and introduced min_rate_limit_us +
mutex, rewrote commit log and included test results.

Signed-off-by: Chris Redpath <chris.redpath@arm.com>
A policy of going to fmax on any RT activity will be detrimental
for power on many platforms. Often RT accounts for only a small amount
of CPU activity so sending the CPU frequency to fmax is overkill. Worse
still, some platforms may not be able to even complete the CPU frequency
change before the RT activity has already completed.
Cpufreq governors have not treated RT activity this way in the past so
it is not part of the expected semantics of the RT scheduling class. The
DL class offers guarantees about task completion and could be used for
this purpose.
Modify the schedutil algorithm to instead use rt_avg as an estimate of
RT utilization of the CPU.

[adapt to the 3.18 kthread interface]
Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@arm.com>
We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.
This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier.
First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.
Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.
Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.
Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.
Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might
take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.
As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

The schedfreq governor does not currently handle cpufreq drivers which
use a global set of tunables (!have_governor_per_policy).
For example on x86 and using the acpi cpufreq driver, doing this
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/sched/up_throttle_nsec
will result in a bad pointer access.
Update the tunable code using the upstream schedutil tunable code by
Rafael Wysocki as a guide.
Includes a partial backport of the reorganized cpufreq tunable
infrastructure.

Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses
scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making
its decisions.
Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c55 (cpufreq: Add
mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that
introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on
utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates.
In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on
the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS.
The new governor is relatively simple.
The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not
the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant
case the new CPU frequency is given by
next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max
where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util().
In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in
the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU:
next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max
The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at
(util / max) = 0.8.
All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update
handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is
used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other
one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need
to use any extra synchronization means).
The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported
by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy.
In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take
place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot
be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the
help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target()
(under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already
computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers).
Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as
"unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed
maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That
heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more
subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks.
The governor shares some tunables management code with the
"ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common
definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it
is stand-alone.

commit 30e7d894c1 upstream.
Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in
text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked
reserved.
The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked
__init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that
removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the
actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed,
then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work
delay is increased.
Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to
become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That
ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal
have completed.

commit 2c4569ca26 upstream.
irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() sets up the chained interrupt and then
stores the handler data.
That's racy against an immediate interrupt which gets handled before the
store of the handler data happened. The handler will dereference a NULL
pointer and crash.
Cure it by storing handler data before installing the chained handler.

commit 3fd3722621 upstream.
Imagine we have a pid namespace and a task from its parent's pid_ns,
which made setns() to the pid namespace. The task is doing fork(),
while the pid namespace's child reaper is dying. We have the race
between them:
Task from parent pid_ns Child reaper
copy_process() ..
alloc_pid() ..
.. zap_pid_ns_processes()
.. disable_pid_allocation()
.. read_lock(&tasklist_lock)
.. iterate over pids in pid_ns
.. kill tasks linked to pids
.. read_unlock(&tasklist_lock)
write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock); ..
attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PID); ..
.. ..
So, just created task p won't receive SIGKILL signal,
and the pid namespace will be in contradictory state.
Only manual kill will help there, but does the userspace
care about this? I suppose, the most users just inject
a task into a pid namespace and wait a SIGCHLD from it.
The patch fixes the problem. It simply checks for
(pid_ns->nr_hashed & PIDNS_HASH_ADDING) in copy_process().
We do it under the tasklist_lock, and can't skip
PIDNS_HASH_ADDING as noted by Oleg:
"zap_pid_ns_processes() does disable_pid_allocation()
and then takes tasklist_lock to kill the whole namespace.
Given that copy_process() checks PIDNS_HASH_ADDING
under write_lock(tasklist) they can't race;
if copy_process() takes this lock first, the new child will
be killed, otherwise copy_process() can't miss
the change in ->nr_hashed."
If allocation is disabled, we just return -ENOMEM
like it's made for such cases in alloc_pid().
v2: Do not move disable_pid_allocation(), do not
introduce a new variable in copy_process() and simplify
the patch as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.
Account the problem with double irq enabling
found by Eric W. Biederman.

commit b9a985db98 upstream.
The code can potentially sleep for an indefinite amount of time in
zap_pid_ns_processes triggering the hung task timeout, and increasing
the system average. This is undesirable. Sleep with a task state of
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to remove these
undesirable side effects.
Apparently under heavy load this has been allowing Chrome to trigger
the hung time task timeout error and cause ChromeOS to reboot.
