We want sched_groups to be sibling child domains (or individual CPUs
when there are no child domains). Furthermore, since the first group
of a domain should include the CPU of that domain, the first group of
each domain should match the child domain.
Verify this is indeed so.

When building the overlapping groups, we very obviously should start
with the previous domain of _this_ @cpu, not CPU-0.
This can be readily demonstrated with a topology like:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 30 20
1: 20 10 20 30
2: 30 20 10 20
3: 20 30 20 10
Where (for example) CPU1 ends up generating the following nonsensical groups:
[] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
[] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
[] groups: 1 2 0
[] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
[] groups: 1-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0-1,3 (cpu_capacity = 3072)
Where the fact that domain 1 doesn't include a group with span 0-2 is
the obvious fail.
With patch this looks like:
[] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
[] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
[] groups: 1 0 2
[] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
[] groups: 0-2 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072)

With our switch to stable delayed until late_initcall(), the most
likely cause of hitting mark_tsc_unstable() is the watchdog. The
watchdog typically only triggers when creative BIOS'es fiddle with the
TSC to hide SMI latency.
Since the watchdog can only detect TSC fiddling after the fact all TSC
clocks (including userspace GTOD) can already have reported funny
values.
The only way to fully avoid this, is manually marking the TSC unstable
at boot. Suggest people do this on their broken systems.

Core2 marks its TSC unstable in ACPI Processor Idle, which is probed
after sched_init_smp(). Luckily it appears both acpi_processor and
intel_idle (which has a similar check) are mandatory built-in.
This means we can delay switching to stable until after these drivers
have ran (if they were modules, this would be impossible).
Delay the stable switch to late_initcall() to allow these drivers to
mark TSC unstable and avoid difficult stable->unstable transitions.

which replaces ktime_get() with local_clock().
Add a sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() call, which will re-sync the
clock with ktime_get_ns() when TSC is unstable and no-op otherwise.

Currently we keep sched_clock_tick() active for stable TSC in order to
keep the per-CPU state semi up-to-date. The (obvious) problem is that
by the time we detect TSC is borked, our per-CPU state is also borked.
So hook into the clocksource watchdog and call a method after we've
found it to still be stable.
There's the obvious race where the TSC goes wonky between finding it
stable and us running the callback, but closing that is too much work
and not really worth it, since we're already detecting TSC wobbles
after the fact, so we cannot, per definition, fully avoid funny clock
values.
And since the watchdog runs less often than the tick, this is also an
optimization.

In the current implementation of load/util_avg, we assume that the
ongoing time segment has fully elapsed, and util/load_sum is divided
by LOAD_AVG_MAX, even if part of the time segment still remains to
run. As a consequence, this remaining part is considered as idle time
and generates unexpected variations of util_avg of a busy CPU in the
range [1002..1024[ whereas util_avg should stay at 1023.
In order to keep the metric stable, we should not consider the ongoing
time segment when computing load/util_avg but only the segments that
have already fully elapsed. But to not consider the current time
segment adds unwanted latency in the load/util_avg responsivness
especially when the time is scaled instead of the contribution.
Instead of waiting for the current time segment to have fully elapsed
before accounting it in load/util_avg, we can already account the
elapsed part but change the range used to compute load/util_avg
accordingly.
At the very beginning of a new time segment, the past segments have
been decayed and the max value is LOAD_AVG_MAX*y. At the very end of
the current time segment, the max value becomes:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y + 1024(us) (== LOAD_AVG_MAX)
In fact, the max value is:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y + sa->period_contrib
at any time in the time segment.
Taking advantage of the fact that:
LOAD_AVG_MAX*y == LOAD_AVG_MAX-1024
the range becomes [0..LOAD_AVG_MAX-1024+sa->period_contrib].
As the elapsed part is already accounted in load/util_sum, we update
the max value according to the current position in the time segment
instead of removing its contribution.

I finally got around to creating trampolines for dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops with using synchronize_rcu_tasks(). For users of the ftrace
function hook callbacks, like perf, that allocate the ftrace_ops
descriptor via kmalloc() and friends, ftrace was not able to optimize
the functions being traced to use a trampoline because they would also
need to be allocated dynamically. The problem is that they cannot be
freed when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, as there's no way to tell if a task
was preempted on the trampoline. That was before Paul McKenney
implemented synchronize_rcu_tasks() that would make sure all tasks
(except idle) have scheduled out or have entered user space.
While testing this, I triggered this bug:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa0230077
...
RIP: 0010:0xffffffffa0230077
...
Call Trace:
schedule+0x5/0xe0
schedule_preempt_disabled+0x18/0x30
do_idle+0x172/0x220
What happened was that the idle task was preempted on the trampoline.
As synchronize_rcu_tasks() ignores the idle thread, there's nothing
that lets ftrace know that the idle task was preempted on a trampoline.
The idle task shouldn't need to ever enable preemption. The idle task
is simply a loop that calls schedule or places the cpu into idle mode.
In fact, having preemption enabled is inefficient, because it can
happen when idle is just about to call schedule anyway, which would
cause schedule to be called twice. Once for when the interrupt came in
and was returning back to normal context, and then again in the normal
path that the idle loop is running in, which would be pointless, as it
had already scheduled.
The only reason schedule_preempt_disable() enables preemption is to be
able to call sched_submit_work(), which requires preemption enabled. As
this is a nop when the task is in the RUNNING state, and idle is always
in the running state, there's no reason that idle needs to enable
preemption. But that means it cannot use schedule_preempt_disable() as
other callers of that function require calling sched_submit_work().
Adding a new function local to kernel/sched/ that allows idle to call
the scheduler without enabling preemption, fixes the
synchronize_rcu_tasks() issue, as well as removes the pointless spurious
schedule calls caused by interrupts happening in the brief window where
preemption is enabled just before it calls schedule.

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:
- a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
trivial set, is currently in the works).
This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
fallback options which make it quite flexible.

Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek

"This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to

One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface
has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations
of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better.
Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware
support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver.
Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend
profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous
profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under
tools/power/pm-graph/.

irq_time_read() returns the irqtime minus the ksoftirqd time. This
is necessary because irq_time_read() is used to substract the IRQ time
from the sum_exec_runtime of a task. If we were to include the softirq
time of ksoftirqd, this task would substract its own CPU time everytime
it updates ksoftirqd->sum_exec_runtime which would therefore never
progress.
But this behaviour got broken by:
a499a5a14d ("sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account")
... which now includes ksoftirqd softirq time in the time returned by
irq_time_read().
This has resulted in wrong ksoftirqd cputime reported to userspace
through /proc/stat and thus "top" not showing ksoftirqd when it should
after intense networking load.
ksoftirqd->stime happens to be correct but it gets scaled down by
sum_exec_runtime through task_cputime_adjusted().
To fix this, just account the strict IRQ time in a separate counter and
use it to report the IRQ time.

Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state
only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the
call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of
whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously.
This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into
rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent
state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.
To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path,
this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing
non-common-case check.

Make the schedutil governor take the initial (default) value of the
rate_limit_us sysfs attribute from the (new) transition_delay_us
policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver).
That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default
values of rate_limit_us and reduce the default average time interval
between consecutive frequency changes.
Make intel_pstate set transition_delay_us to 500.

Historically our periods (or p) argument in PELT denoted the number of
full periods (what is now d2). However recent patches have changed
this to the total decay (previously p+1), leading to a confusing
discrepancy between comments and code.
Try and clarify things by making periods (in code) and p (in comments)
be the same thing (again).

Paul noticed that in the (periods >= LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) case in
__accumulate_sum(), the returned contribution value (LOAD_AVG_MAX) is
incorrect.
This is because at this point, the decay_load() on the old state --
the first step in accumulate_sum() -- will not have resulted in 0, and
will therefore result in a sum larger than the maximum value of our
series. Obviously broken.
Note that:
decay_load(LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) =
1 (345 / 32)
47742 * - ^ = ~27
2
Not to mention that any further contribution from the d3 segment (our
new period) would also push it over the maximum.
Solve this by noting that we can write our c2 term:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
In terms of our maximum value:
inf inf p
max = 1024 \Sum y^n = 1024 ( \Sum y^n + \Sum y^n + y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1 n=1
Further note that:
inf inf inf
( \Sum y^n ) y^p = \Sum y^(n+p) = \Sum y^n
n=0 n=0 n=p
Combined that gives us:
p
c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
n=1
inf inf
= 1024 ( \Sum y^n - \Sum y^n - y^0 )
n=0 n=p+1
= max - (max y^(p+1)) - 1024
Further simplify things by dealing with p=0 early on.

To address that issue, make schedutil reduce the frequency slower by

With the introduction of SCHED_DEADLINE the whole notion that priority
is a single number is gone, therefore the @prio argument to
rt_mutex_setprio() doesn't make sense anymore.
So rework the code to pass a pi_task instead.
Note this also fixes a problem with pi_top_task caching; previously we
would not set the pointer (call rt_mutex_update_top_task) if the
priority didn't change, this could lead to a stale pointer.
As for the XXX, I think its fine to use pi_task->prio, because if it
differs from waiter->prio, a PI chain update is immenent.

This is because rt_mutex_enqueue_pi() and rt_mutex_dequeue_pi()
are only protected by pi_lock when operating pi waiters, while
rt_mutex_get_top_task(), will access them with rq lock held but
not holding pi_lock.
In order to tackle it, we introduce new "pi_top_task" pointer
cached in task_struct, and add new rt_mutex_update_top_task()
to update its value, it can be called by rt_mutex_setprio()
which held both owner's pi_lock and rq lock. Thus "pi_top_task"
can be safely accessed by enqueue_task_dl() under rq lock.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides:
- make the scheduler clock switch to unstable mode smooth so the
timestamps stay at microseconds granularity instead of switching to
tick granularity.
- unbreak perf test tsc by taking the new offset into account which
was added in order to proveide better sched clock continuity
- switching sched clock to unstable mode runs all clock related
computations which affect the sched clock output itself from a work
queue. In case of preemption sched clock uses half updated data and
provides wrong timestamps. Keep the math in the protected context
and delegate only the static key switch to workqueue context.
- remove a duplicate header include"

The main PELT function ___update_load_avg(), which implements the
accumulation and progression of the geometric average series, is
implemented along the following lines for the scenario where the time
delta spans all 3 possible sections (see figure below):
1. add the remainder of the last incomplete period
2. decay old sum
3. accumulate new sum in full periods since last_update_time
4. accumulate the current incomplete period
5. update averages
Or:
d1 d2 d3
^ ^ ^

|<->|<----------------->|<--->|
... |---x---|------| ... |------|-----x (now)
load_sum' = (load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) + (1,2)
p
weight * scale * 1024 * \Sum y^n + (3)
n=1
weight * scale * d3 * y^0 (4)
load_avg' = load_sum' / LOAD_AVG_MAX (5)
Where:
d1 - is the delta part completing the remainder of the last
incomplete period,
d2 - is the delta part spannind complete periods, and
d3 - is the delta part starting the current incomplete period.
We can simplify the code in two steps; the first step is to separate
the first term into new and old parts like:
(load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * d1 * y^(p+1)
Once we've done that, its easy to see that all new terms carry the
common factors:
weight * scale
If we factor those out, we arrive at the form:
load_sum' = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * (d1 * y^(p+1) +
p
1024 * \Sum y^n +
n=1
d3 * y^0)
Which results in a simpler, smaller and faster implementation.

When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and
we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable()
function is eventually called.
In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true:
sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset
But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values
from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and
instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod.
However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not
add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we
determine the boundaries for min/max clocks.
This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.

If the child domain prefers tasks to go siblings, the local group could
end up pulling tasks to itself even if the local group is almost equally
loaded as the source group.
Lets assume a 4 core,smt==2 machine running 5 thread ebizzy workload.
Everytime, local group has capacity and source group has atleast 2 threads,
local group tries to pull the task. This causes the threads to constantly
move between different cores. This is even more profound if the cores have
more threads, like in Power 8, smt 8 mode.
Fix this by only allowing local group to pull a task, if the source group
has more number of tasks than the local group.
Here are the relevant perf stat numbers of a 22 core,smt 8 Power 8 machine.

sugov_update_commit() calls trace_cpu_frequency() to record the
current CPU frequency if it has not changed in the fast switch case
to prevent utilities from getting confused (they may report that the
CPU is idle if the frequency has not been recorded for too long, for
example).
However, that may cause the tracepoint to be triggered quite often
for no real reason (if the frequency doesn't change, we will not
modify the last update time stamp and governor computations may
run again shortly when that happens), so don't do that (arguably, it
is done to work around a utilities bug anyway).
That allows code duplication in sugov_update_commit() to be reduced
somewhat too.

... which was caused by this commit:
commit 4e5160766f ("sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach")
The only part of the patch that can increase the noise is the update
of blocked load of group entity in update_blocked_averages().
We can optimize this call and skip the update of group entity if its load
and utilization are already null and there is no pending propagation of load
in the task group.
This optimization partly restores the noise score. A more agressive
optimization has been tried but has shown worse score.
