c82a69629c sched/fair: fix case with reduced capacity CPU
The capacity of the CPU available for CFS tasks can be reduced because of
other activities running on the latter. In such case, it's worth trying to
move CFS tasks on a CPU with more available capacity.

The rework of the load balance has filtered the case when the CPU is
classified to be fully busy but its capacity is reduced.

Check if CPU's capacity is reduced while gathering load balance statistic
and classify it group_misfit_task instead of group_fully_busy so we can
try to move the load on another CPU.

b812fc9768 sched/fair: Remove the energy margin in feec()
find_energy_efficient_cpu() integrates a margin to protect tasks from
bouncing back and forth from a CPU to another. This margin is set as being
6% of the total current energy estimated on the system. This however does
not work for two reasons:

1. The energy estimation is not a good absolute value:

compute_energy() used in feec() is a good estimation for task placement as
it allows to compare the energy with and without a task. The computed
delta will give a good overview of the cost for a certain task placement.
It, however, doesn't work as an absolute estimation for the total energy
of the system. First it adds the contribution to idle CPUs into the
energy, second it mixes util_avg with util_est values. util_avg contains
the near history for a CPU usage, it doesn't tell at all what the current
utilization is. A system that has been quite busy in the near past will
hold a very high energy and then a high margin preventing any task
migration to a lower capacity CPU, wasting energy. It even creates a
negative feedback loop: by holding the tasks on a less efficient CPU, the
margin contributes in keeping the energy high.

2. The margin handicaps small tasks:

On a system where the workload is composed mostly of small tasks (which is
often the case on Android), the overall energy will be high enough to
create a margin none of those tasks can cross. On a Pixel4, a small
utilization of 5% on all the CPUs creates a global estimated energy of 140
joules, as per the Energy Model declaration of that same device. This
means, after applying the 6% margin that any migration must save more than
8 joules to happen. No task with a utilization lower than 40 would then be
able to migrate away from the biggest CPU of the system.

The 6% of the overall system energy was brought by the following patch:

 (eb92692b25 sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups)

It was previously 6% of the prev_cpu energy. Also, the following one
made this margin value conditional on the clusters where the task fits:

 (8d4c97c105 sched/fair: Only compute base_energy_pd if necessary)

We could simply revert that margin change to what it was, but the original
version didn't have strong grounds neither and as demonstrated in (1.) the
estimated energy isn't a good absolute value. Instead, removing it
completely. It is indeed, made possible by recent changes that improved
energy estimation comparison fairness (sched/fair: Remove task_util from
effective utilization in feec()) (PM: EM: Increase energy calculation
precision) and task utilization stabilization (sched/fair: Decay task
util_avg during migration)

Without a margin, we could have feared bouncing between CPUs. But running
LISA's eas_behaviour test coverage on three different platforms (Hikey960,
RB-5 and DB-845) showed no issue.

Removing the energy margin enables more energy-optimized placements for a
more energy efficient system.

3e8c6c9aac sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec()
The energy estimation in find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) relies on
the computation of the effective utilization for each CPU of a perf domain
(PD). This effective utilization is then used as an estimation of the busy
time for this pd. The function effective_cpu_util() which gives this value,
scales the utilization relative to IRQ pressure on the CPU to take into
account that the IRQ time is hidden from the task clock. The IRQ scaling is
as follow:

   effective_cpu_util = irq + (cpu_cap - irq)/cpu_cap * util

Where util is the sum of CFS/RT/DL utilization, cpu_cap the capacity of
the CPU and irq the IRQ avg time.

If now we take as an example a task placement which doesn't raise the OPP
on the candidate CPU, we can write the energy delta as:

  delta = OPPcost/cpu_cap * (effective_cpu_util(cpu_util + task_util) -
                             effective_cpu_util(cpu_util))
        = OPPcost/cpu_cap * (cpu_cap - irq)/cpu_cap * task_util

We end-up with an energy delta depending on the IRQ avg time, which is a
problem: first the time spent on IRQs by a CPU has no effect on the
additional energy that would be consumed by a task. Second, we don't want
to favour a CPU with a higher IRQ avg time value.

Nonetheless, we need to take the IRQ avg time into account. If a task
placement raises the PD's frequency, it will increase the energy cost for
the entire time where the CPU is busy. A solution is to only use
effective_cpu_util() with the CPU contribution part. The task contribution
is added separately and scaled according to prev_cpu's IRQ time.

No change for the FREQUENCY_UTIL component of the energy estimation. We
still want to get the actual frequency that would be selected after the
task placement.

9b340131a4 sched/fair: Use the same cpumask per-PD throughout find_energy_efficient_cpu()
The Perf Domain (PD) cpumask (struct em_perf_domain.cpus) stays
invariant after Energy Model creation, i.e. it is not updated after
CPU hotplug operations.

That's why the PD mask is used in conjunction with the cpu_online_mask
(or Sched Domain cpumask). Thereby the cpu_online_mask is fetched
multiple times (in compute_energy()) during a run-queue selection
for a task.

cpu_online_mask may change during this time which can lead to wrong
energy calculations.

To be able to avoid this, use the select_rq_mask per-cpu cpumask to
create a cpumask out of PD cpumask and cpu_online_mask and pass it
through the function calls of the EAS run-queue selection path.

The PD cpumask for max_spare_cap_cpu/compute_prev_delta selection
(find_energy_efficient_cpu()) is now ANDed not only with the SD mask
but also with the cpu_online_mask. This is fine since this cpumask
has to be in syc with the one used for energy computation
(compute_energy()).
An exclusive cpuset setup with at least one asymmetric CPU capacity
island (hence the additional AND with the SD cpumask) is the obvious
exception here.

Decouple the name of the per-cpu cpumask select_idle_mask from its usage
in select_idle_[cpu/capacity]() of the CFS run-queue selection
(select_task_rq_fair()).

This is to support the reuse of this cpumask in the Energy Aware

bb44799949 sched, drivers: Remove max param from effective_cpu_util()/sched_cpu_util()
effective_cpu_util() already has a `int cpu' parameter which allows to
retrieve the CPU capacity scale factor (or maximum CPU capacity) inside
this function via an arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu).

A lot of code calling effective_cpu_util() (or the shim
sched_cpu_util()) needs the maximum CPU capacity, i.e. it will call
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() already.
But not having to pass it into effective_cpu_util() will make the EAS
wake-up code easier, especially when the maximum CPU capacity reduced
by the thermal pressure is passed through the EAS wake-up functions.

Due to the asymmetric CPU capacity support of arm/arm64 architectures,
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu) is a per-CPU variable read access via
per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu) on such a system.
On all other architectures it is a a compile-time constant
(SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

e2f3e35f1f sched/fair: Decay task PELT values during wakeup migration
Before being migrated to a new CPU, a task sees its PELT values
synchronized with rq last_update_time. Once done, that same task will also
have its sched_avg last_update_time reset. This means the time between
the migration and the last clock update will not be accounted for in
util_avg and a discontinuity will appear. This issue is amplified by the
PELT clock scaling. It takes currently one tick after the CPU being idle
to let clock_pelt catching up clock_task.

This is especially problematic for asymmetric CPU capacity systems which
need stable util_avg signals for task placement and energy estimation.

Ideally, this problem would be solved by updating the runqueue clocks
before the migration. But that would require taking the runqueue lock
which is quite expensive [1]. Instead estimate the missing time and update
the task util_avg with that value.

To that end, we need sched_clock_cpu() but it is a costly function. Limit
the usage to the case where the source CPU is idle as we know this is when
the clock is having the biggest risk of being outdated.

See comment in migrate_se_pelt_lag() for more details about how the PELT
value is estimated. Notice though this estimation doesn't take into account
IRQ and Paravirt time.

d05b43059d sched/fair: Provide u64 read for 32-bits arch helper
Introducing macro helpers u64_u32_{store,load}() to factorize lockless
accesses to u64 variables for 32-bits architectures.

Users are for now cfs_rq.min_vruntime and sched_avg.last_update_time. To
accommodate the later where the copy lies outside of the structure
(cfs_rq.last_udpate_time_copy instead of sched_avg.last_update_time_copy),
use the _copy() version of those helpers.

Those new helpers encapsulate smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() synchronization and
therefore, have a small penalty for 32-bits machines in set_task_rq_fair()
and init_cfs_rq().

when the system is overloaded.

The following histogram is the time spent in select_idle_cpu(),

[Symptom analysis]
The patch [1] from Mel Gorman has been applied to track the efficiency
of select_idle_sibling. Copy the indicators here:

SIS Search Efficiency(se_eff%):
        A ratio expressed as a percentage of runqueues scanned versus
        idle CPUs found. A 100% efficiency indicates that the target,
        prev or recent CPU of a task was idle at wakeup. The lower the
        efficiency, the more runqueues were scanned before an idle CPU
        was found.

SIS Domain Search Efficiency(dom_eff%):
        Similar, except only for the slower SIS
	patch.

SIS Fast Success Rate(fast_rate%):
        Percentage of SIS that used target, prev or
	recent CPUs.

SIS Success rate(success_rate%):
        Percentage of scans that found an idle CPU.

The test is based on Aubrey's schedtests tool, including netperf, hackbench,
schbench and tbench.

According to the test above, if the system becomes busy, the
SIS Search Efficiency(se_eff%) drops significantly. Although some
benchmarks would finally find an idle CPU(success_rate% = 100%), it is
doubtful whether it is worth it to search the whole LLC domain.

[Proposal]
It would be ideal to have a crystal ball to answer this question:
How many CPUs must a wakeup path walk down, before it can find an idle
CPU? Many potential metrics could be used to predict the number.
One candidate is the sum of util_avg in this LLC domain. The benefit
of choosing util_avg is that it is a metric of accumulated historic
activity, which seems to be smoother than instantaneous metrics
(such as rq->nr_running). Besides, choosing the sum of util_avg
would help predict the load of the LLC domain more precisely, because
SIS_PROP uses one CPU's idle time to estimate the total LLC domain idle
time.

In summary, the lower the util_avg is, the more select_idle_cpu()
should scan for idle CPU, and vice versa. When the sum of util_avg
in this LLC domain hits 85% or above, the scan stops. The reason to
choose 85% as the threshold is that this is the imbalance_pct(117)
when a LLC sched group is overloaded.

Introduce the quadratic function:

y = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - p * x^2
and y'= y / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE

x is the ratio of sum_util compared to the CPU capacity:
x = sum_util / (llc_weight * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE)
y' is the ratio of CPUs to be scanned in the LLC domain,
and the number of CPUs to scan is calculated by:

nr_scan = llc_weight * y'

Choosing quadratic function is because:
[1] Compared to the linear function, it scans more aggressively when the
    sum_util is low.
[2] Compared to the exponential function, it is easier to calculate.
[3] It seems that there is no accurate mapping between the sum of util_avg
    and the number of CPUs to be scanned. Use heuristic scan for now.

For a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is:
sum_util%   0    5   15   25  35  45  55   65   75   85   86 ...
scan_nr   112  111  108  102  93  81  65   47   25    1    0 ...

For a platform with 16 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is:
sum_util%   0    5   15   25  35  45  55   65   75   85   86 ...
scan_nr    16   15   15   14  13  11   9    6    3    0    0 ...

Furthermore, to minimize the overhead of calculating the metrics in
select_idle_cpu(), borrow the statistics from periodic load balance.
As mentioned by Abel, on a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the
sum_util calculated by periodic load balance after 112 ms would
decay to about 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.7 = 8.75%, thus bringing a delay
in reflecting the latest utilization. But it is a trade-off.
Checking the util_avg in newidle load balance would be more frequent,
but it brings overhead - multiple CPUs write/read the per-LLC shared
variable and introduces cache contention. Tim also mentioned that,
it is allowed to be non-optimal in terms of scheduling for the
short-term variations, but if there is a long-term trend in the load
behavior, the scheduler can adjust for that.

When SIS_UTIL is enabled, the select_idle_cpu() uses the nr_scan
calculated by SIS_UTIL instead of the one from SIS_PROP. As Peter and
Mel suggested, SIS_UTIL should be enabled by default.

This patch is based on the util_avg, which is very sensitive to the
CPU frequency invariance. There is an issue that, when the max frequency
has been clamp, the util_avg would decay insanely fast when
the CPU is idle. Commit addca28512 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Handle no_turbo
in frequency invariance") could be used to mitigate this symptom, by adjusting
the arch_max_freq_ratio when turbo is disabled. But this issue is still
not thoroughly fixed, because the current code is unaware of the user-specified
max CPU frequency.

[Test result]

netperf and tbench were launched with 25% 50% 75% 100% 125% 150%
175% 200% of CPU number respectively. Hackbench and schbench were launched
by 1, 2 ,4, 8 groups. Each test lasts for 100 seconds and repeats 3 times.

The following is the benchmark result comparison between
baseline:vanilla v5.19-rc1 and compare:patched kernel. Positive compare%
indicates better performance.

Take the 224 threads as an example, the SIS search metrics changes are
illustrated below:

   5842896          +162.7%   15347978        sched_debug.cpu.sis_search.avg

There is -87.9% less CPU scans after patched, which indicates lower overhead.
Besides, with this patch applied, there is -13% less rq lock contention
in perf-profile.calltrace.cycles-pp._raw_spin_lock.raw_spin_rq_lock_nested
.try_to_wake_up.default_wake_function.woken_wake_function.
This might help explain the performance improvement - Because this patch allows
the waking task to remain on the previous CPU, rather than grabbing other CPUs'
lock.

*Consider the Standard Deviation, this -7.36% regression might not be valid.

Also, a OLTP workload with a commercial RDBMS has been tested, and there
is no significant change.

There were concerns that unbalanced tasks among CPUs would cause problems.
For example, suppose the LLC domain is composed of 8 CPUs, and 7 tasks are
bound to CPU0~CPU6, while CPU7 is idle:

          CPU0    CPU1    CPU2    CPU3    CPU4    CPU5    CPU6    CPU7
util_avg  1024    1024    1024    1024    1024    1024    1024    0

Since the util_avg ratio is 87.5%( = 7/8 ), which is higher than 85%,
select_idle_cpu() will not scan, thus CPU7 is undetected during scan.
But according to Mel, it is unlikely the CPU7 will be idle all the time
because CPU7 could pull some tasks via CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.

lkp(kernel test robot) has reported a regression on stress-ng.sock on a
very busy system. According to the sched_debug statistics, it might be caused
by SIS_UTIL terminates the scan and chooses a previous CPU earlier, and this
might introduce more context switch, especially involuntary preemption, which
impacts a busy stress-ng. This regression has shown that, not all benchmarks
in every scenario benefit from idle CPU scan limit, and it needs further
investigation.

Besides, there is slight regression in hackbench's 16 groups case when the
LLC domain has 16 CPUs. Prateek mentioned that we should scan aggressively
in an LLC domain with 16 CPUs. Because the cost to search for an idle one
among 16 CPUs is negligible. The current patch aims to propose a generic
solution and only considers the util_avg. Something like the below could
be applied on top of the current patch to fulfill the requirement:

	if (llc_weight <= 16)
		nr_scan = nr_scan * 32 / llc_weight;

For LLC domain with 16 CPUs, the nr_scan will be expanded to 2 times large.
The smaller the CPU number this LLC domain has, the larger nr_scan will be
expanded. This needs further investigation.

There is also ongoing work[2] from Abel to filter out the busy CPUs during
wakeup, to further speed up the idle CPU scan. And it could be a following-up
optimization on top of this change.

792b9f65a5 sched: Allow newidle balancing to bail out of load_balance
While doing newidle load balancing, it is possible for new tasks to
arrive, such as with pending wakeups. newidle_balance() already accounts
for this by exiting the sched_domain load_balance() iteration if it
detects these cases. This is very important for minimizing wakeup
latency.

However, if we are already in load_balance(), we may stay there for a
while before returning back to newidle_balance(). This is most
exacerbated if we enter a 'goto redo' loop in the LBF_ALL_PINNED case. A
very straightforward workaround to this is to adjust should_we_balance()
to bail out if we're doing a CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balance and new tasks are
detected.

This was tested with the following reproduction:
- two threads that take turns sleeping and waking each other up are
  affined to two cores
- a large number of threads with 100% utilization are pinned to all
  other cores

Without this patch, wakeup latency was ~120us for the pair of threads,
almost entirely spent in load_balance(). With this patch, wakeup latency
is ~6us.

   commit fe61468b2c ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning")
   commit b34cb07dde ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair() warning some more")

   commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle")
   commit fdaba61ef8 ("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling")
   commit 2630cde267 ("sched/fair: Add ancestors of unthrottled undecayed cfs_rq")

commit 31bc6aeaab ("sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()")
delete every cfs_rq under throttled subtree from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list,
and delete the throttled_hierarchy() test in update_blocked_averages(),
which optimized update_blocked_averages().

But those later bugfix add cfs_rqs under throttled subtree back to
rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list again, with their fully decayed ancestors, for
the integrity of rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.

This patch takes another method, skip all cfs_rqs under throttled
hierarchy when list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(), to completely make cfs_rqs
under throttled subtree off the leaf_cfs_rq_list.

So we don't need to consider throttled related things in
enqueue_entity(), unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair(),
which simplify the code a lot. Also optimize update_blocked_averages()
since cfs_rqs under throttled hierarchy and their ancestors
won't be on the leaf_cfs_rq_list.

f5b2eeb499 sched/fair: Consider CPU affinity when allowing NUMA imbalance in find_idlest_group()
In the case of systems containing multiple LLCs per socket, like
AMD Zen systems, users want to spread bandwidth hungry applications
across multiple LLCs. Stream is one such representative workload where
the best performance is obtained by limiting one stream thread per LLC.
To ensure this, users are known to pin the tasks to a specify a subset
of the CPUs consisting of one CPU per LLC while running such bandwidth
hungry tasks.

Suppose we kickstart a multi-threaded task like stream with 8 threads
using taskset or numactl to run on a subset of CPUs on a 2 socket Zen3
server where each socket contains 128 CPUs
(0-63,128-191 in one socket, 64-127,192-255 in another socket)

Eg: numactl -C 0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112 ./stream8

Here each CPU in the list is from a different LLC and 4 of those LLCs
are on one socket, while the other 4 are on another socket.

Ideally we would prefer that each stream thread runs on a different
CPU from the allowed list of CPUs. However, the current heuristics in
find_idlest_group() do not allow this during the initial placement.

Suppose the first socket (0-63,128-191) is our local group from which
we are kickstarting the stream tasks. The first four stream threads
will be placed in this socket. When it comes to placing the 5th
thread, all the allowed CPUs are from the local group (0,16,32,48)
would have been taken.

However, the current scheduler code simply checks if the number of
tasks in the local group is fewer than the allowed numa-imbalance
threshold. This threshold was previously 25% of the NUMA domain span
(in this case threshold = 32) but after the v6 of Mel's patchset
"Adjust NUMA imbalance for multiple LLCs", got merged in sched-tip,
Commit: e496132ebe ("sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance
when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs") it is now equal to number of LLCs
in the NUMA domain, for processors with multiple LLCs.
(in this case threshold = 8).

For this example, the number of tasks will always be within threshold
and thus all the 8 stream threads will be woken up on the first socket
thereby resulting in sub-optimal performance.

The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial
placement of tasks in the current tip/sched/core on the Zen3 machine:

stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005036: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5315 prio=120 target_cpu=032
stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005086: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5316 prio=120 target_cpu=048
stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005141: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5317 prio=120 target_cpu=000
stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005183: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5318 prio=120 target_cpu=016
stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005218: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5319 prio=120 target_cpu=016
stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005256: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5320 prio=120 target_cpu=016
stream-5313    [016] d..2.   627.005295: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5321 prio=120 target_cpu=016

Once the first four threads are distributed among the allowed CPUs of
socket one, the rest of the treads start piling on these same CPUs
when clearly there are CPUs on the second socket that can be used.

Following the initial pile up on a small number of CPUs, though the
load-balancer eventually kicks in, it takes a while to get to {4}{4}
and even {4}{4} isn't stable as we observe a bunch of ping ponging
between {4}{4} to {5}{3} and back before a stable state is reached
much later (1 Stream thread per allowed CPU) and no more migration is
required.

We can detect this piling and avoid it by checking if the number of
allowed CPUs in the local group are fewer than the number of tasks
running in the local group and use this information to spread the
5th task out into the next socket (after all, the goal in this
slowpath is to find the idlest group and the idlest CPU during the
initial placement!).

The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial
placement of tasks after adding this fix on the Zen3 machine:

stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784046: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4487 prio=120 target_cpu=032
stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784123: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4488 prio=120 target_cpu=048
stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784167: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4489 prio=120 target_cpu=000
stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784222: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4490 prio=120 target_cpu=112
stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784271: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4491 prio=120 target_cpu=096
stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784322: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4492 prio=120 target_cpu=080
stream-4485    [016] d..2.   230.784368: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4493 prio=120 target_cpu=064

We see that threads are using all of the allowed CPUs and there is
no pileup.

No output is generated for tracepoint sched_migrate_task with this
patch due to a perfect initial placement which removes the need
for balancing later on - both across NUMA boundaries and within
NUMA boundaries for stream.

Following are the results from running 8 Stream threads with and
without pinning on a dual socket Zen3 Machine (2 x 64C/128T):

Pinning currently hurts the performance compared to unbound case on
tip/sched/core. With the addition of this patch, we are able to
outperform tip/sched/core by a good margin with pinning.

In case of Icelake machine, with single LLC per socket, pinning across
the two sockets reduces cache contention, thus showing great
improvement in pinned case which is further benefited by this patch.

cb29a5c19d sched/numa: Apply imbalance limitations consistently
The imbalance limitations are applied inconsistently at fork time
and at runtime. At fork, a new task can remain local until there are
too many running tasks even if the degree of imbalance is larger than
NUMA_IMBALANCE_MIN which is different to runtime. Secondly, the imbalance
figure used during load balancing is different to the one used at NUMA
placement. Load balancing uses the number of tasks that must move to
restore imbalance where as NUMA balancing uses the total imbalance.

In combination, it is possible for a parallel workload that uses a small
number of CPUs without applying scheduler policies to have very variable
run-to-run performance.

13ede33150 sched/numa: Do not swap tasks between nodes when spare capacity is available
If a destination node has spare capacity but there is an imbalance then
two tasks are selected for swapping. If the tasks have no numa group
or are within the same NUMA group, it's simply shuffling tasks around
without having any impact on the compute imbalance. Instead, it's just
punishing one task to help another.

44d35720c9 sysctl changes for v5.19-rc1
For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
 slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
 all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
 
 This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
 going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
 just cleanups.
 
 I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
 pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
 have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
 The last change was merged May 4th.
 
 Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
 
 To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
 I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
 moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.
 
 Possible merge conflicts and known resolutions as per linux-next:

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
  slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of
  #ifdefs and all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or
  another.

  This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these
  cleanups going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this
  pull request, just cleanups.

  Thanks a lot to the Uniontech and Huawei folks for doing some of this
  nasty work"

With the change to init and the user mode helper processes to not have
PF_KTHREAD set before they call kernel_execve the PF_KTHREAD test in
task_tick_numa became insufficient to detect all tasks that have
"->mm == NULL".  Correct that by testing for "->mm == NULL" directly.

cfs_rq_tg_path() is used by a tracepoint-to traceevent (tp-2-te)

It doesn't have any in-kernel users after the removal of the
sched_trace_cfs_rq_path() helper function.

cfs_rq_tg_path() can be coded in a tp-2-te converter.

50e7b416d2 sched/fair: Remove sched_trace_*() helper functions
We no longer need them as we can use DWARF debug info or BTF + pahole to
re-generate the required structs to compile against them for a given
kernel.

This moves the burden of maintaining these helper functions to the
module.

	https://github.com/qais-yousef/sched_tp

Note that pahole v1.15 is required at least for using DWARF. And for BTF
v1.23 which is not yet released will be required. There's alignment
problem that will lead to crashes in earlier versions when used with
BTF.

We should have enough infrastructure to make these helper functions now
obsolete, so remove them.

4e3c7d338a sched/fair: Refactor cpu_util_without()
Except the 'task has no contribution or is new' condition at the
beginning of cpu_util_without(), which it shares with the load and
runnable counterpart functions, a cpu_util_next(..., dst_cpu = -1)
call can replace the rest of it.

The UTIL_EST specific check that task util_est has to be subtracted
from the CPU one in case of an enqueued (or current (to cater for the
wakeup - lb race)) task has to be moved to cpu_util_next().
This was initially introduced by commit c469933e77
("sched/fair: Fix cpu_util_wake() for 'execl' type workloads").
UnixBench's `execl` throughput tests were run on the dual socket 40
CPUs Intel E5-2690 v2 to make sure it doesn't regress again.

a658353167 sched/fair: Revise comment about lb decision matrix
If busiest group type is group_misfit_task, the local
group type must be group_has_spare according to below
code in update_sd_pick_busiest():

  if (sgs->group_type == group_misfit_task &&
      (!capacity_greater(capacity_of(env->dst_cpu), sg->sgc->max_capacity) ||
       sds->local_stat.group_type != group_has_spare))
	   return false;

group type imbalanced and overloaded and fully_busy are filtered in here.
misfit and asym are filtered before in update_sg_lb_stats().
So, change the decision matrix to:

  busiest \ local has_spare fully_busy misfit asym imbalanced overloaded

rename throttled_clock_task(_time) to be clock_pelt rather than clock_task.

40f5aa4c5e sched/pelt: Fix attach_entity_load_avg() corner case
The warning in cfs_rq_is_decayed() triggered:

    SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->avg.load_avg ||
		  cfs_rq->avg.util_avg ||
		  cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg)

There exists a corner case in attach_entity_load_avg() which will
cause load_sum to be zero while load_avg will not be.

Consider se_weight is 88761 as per the sched_prio_to_weight[] table.
Further assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, this gives:
se->avg.load_avg is 1.

However, calculating load_sum:

  se->avg.load_sum = div_u64(se->avg.load_avg * se->avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
  se->avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.

Then enqueue_load_avg() adds this to the cfs_rq totals:

  cfs_rq->avg.load_avg += se->avg.load_avg;
  cfs_rq->avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se->avg.load_sum;

Resulting in load_avg being 1 with load_sum is 0, which will trigger
the WARN.

1930a6e739 ptrace: Cleanups for v5.18
This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
 the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
 permission check to ptrace.c
 
 The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
 source of confusion in recent years.  Much of that confusion was
 around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
 making the semantics clearer).
 
 For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
 implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
 was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged.  For many
 years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
 bit at a time.  To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
 some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.
 
 Eric W. Biederman (15):
       ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h
       ptrace/arm: Rename tracehook_report_syscall report_syscall
       ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h
       ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook
       ptrace: Remove tracehook_signal_handler
       task_work: Remove unnecessary include from posix_timers.h
       task_work: Introduce task_work_pending
       task_work: Call tracehook_notify_signal from get_signal on all architectures
       task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work
       signal: Move set_notify_signal and clear_notify_signal into sched/signal.h
       resume_user_mode: Remove #ifdef TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in set_notify_resume
       resume_user_mode: Move to resume_user_mode.h
       tracehook: Remove tracehook.h
       ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop

 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

ab31c7fd2d sched/numa: Fix boot crash on arm64 systems
Qian Cai reported a boot crash on arm64 systems, caused by:

  0fb3978b0a ("sched/numa: Fix NUMA topology for systems with CPU-less nodes")

The bug is that node_state() must be supplied a valid node_states[] array index,
but in task_numa_placement() the max_nid search can fail with NUMA_NO_NODE,
which is not a valid index.

Fix it by checking that max_nid is a valid index.

b9e9c6ca6e sched/headers: Standardize kernel/sched/sched.h header dependencies
kernel/sched/sched.h is a weird mix of ad-hoc headers included
in the middle of the header.

Two of them rely on being included in the middle of kernel/sched/sched.h,
due to definitions they require:

 - "stat.h" needs the rq definitions.
 - "autogroup.h" needs the task_group definition.

Move the inclusion of these two files out of kernel/sched/sched.h, and
include them in all files that require them.

Move of the rest of the header dependencies to the top of the
kernel/sched/sched.h file.

5c7b1aaf13 sched/numa: Avoid migrating task to CPU-less node
In a typical memory tiering system, there's no CPU in slow (PMEM) NUMA
nodes.  But if the number of the hint page faults on a PMEM node is
the max for a task, The current NUMA balancing policy may try to place
the task on the PMEM node instead of DRAM node.  This is unreasonable,
because there's no CPU in PMEM NUMA nodes.  To fix this, CPU-less
nodes are ignored when searching the migration target node for a task
in this patch.

To test the patch, we run a workload that accesses more memory in PMEM
node than memory in DRAM node.  Without the patch, the PMEM node will
be chosen as preferred node in task_numa_placement().  While the DRAM
node will be chosen instead with the patch.

The NUMA topology parameters (sched_numa_topology_type,
sched_domains_numa_levels, and sched_max_numa_distance, etc.)

For example, the ACPI SLIT of a system with CPU-less persistent

  3:  28  17  28  10

In this system, there are only 2 sockets.  In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed.  Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex.  Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3.  And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type.  But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.

This isn't a practical problem now yet.  Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot.  So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT.  And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in.  And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes.  But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.

To test the potential problem.  We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()).  With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,

sched_numa_topology_type:	NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels:	4
sched_max_numa_distance:	28

To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified.  Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.

With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,

sched_numa_topology_type:	NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels:	2
sched_max_numa_distance:	21

e496132ebe sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs
Commit 7d2b5dd0bc ("sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA
nodes") allowed an imbalance between NUMA nodes such that communicating
tasks would not be pulled apart by the load balancer. This works fine when
there is a 1:1 relationship between LLC and node but can be suboptimal
for multiple LLCs if independent tasks prematurely use CPUs sharing cache.

Zen* has multiple LLCs per node with local memory channels and due to
the allowed imbalance, it's far harder to tune some workloads to run
optimally than it is on hardware that has 1 LLC per node. This patch
allows an imbalance to exist up to the point where LLCs should be balanced
between nodes.

On a Zen3 machine running STREAM parallelised with OMP to have on instance
per LLC the results and without binding, the results are

STREAM can use directives to force the spread if the OpenMP is new
enough but that doesn't help if an application uses threads and
it's not known in advance how many threads will be created.

Coremark is a CPU and cache intensive benchmark parallelised with
threads. When running with 1 thread per core, the vanilla kernel
allows threads to contend on cache. With the patch;

CoeffVar  Score-16        3.92 (   0.00%)        5.82 ( -48.48%)

It can also make a big difference for semi-realistic workloads
like specjbb which can execute arbitrary numbers of threads without
advance knowledge of how they should be placed. Even in cases where
the average performance is neutral, the results are more stable.

improvements due to better spreading across LLC when the machine is not

2cfb7a1b03 sched/fair: Improve consistency of allowed NUMA balance calculations
There are inconsistencies when determining if a NUMA imbalance is allowed
that should be corrected.

o allow_numa_imbalance changes types and is not always examining
  the destination group so both the type should be corrected as
  well as the naming.
o find_idlest_group uses the sched_domain's weight instead of the
  group weight which is different to find_busiest_group
o find_busiest_group uses the source group instead of the destination
  which is different to task_numa_find_cpu
o Both find_idlest_group and find_busiest_group should account
  for the number of running tasks if a move was allowed to be
  consistent with task_numa_find_cpu

12bf8a7eb8 sched/numa: initialize numa statistics when forking new task
The child processes will inherit numa_pages_migrated and
total_numa_faults from the parent. It means even if there is no numa
fault happen on the child, the statistics in /proc/$pid of the child
process might show huge amount. This is a bit weird. Let's initialize
them when do fork.

7ceb771030 sched/pelt: Continue to relax the sync of util_sum with util_avg
Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency
being lower than before:
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045

He bisected the problem to:
commit 1c35b07e6d ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")

This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after
removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By
doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to
LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been
reflected in util_avg.

update_tg_cfs_util() is not the only place where we round util_sum and
lost some accumulated contributions that are not already reflected in
util_avg. Modify update_tg_cfs_util() and detach_entity_load_avg() to not
sync util_sum with the new util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to
the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization,
we propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum
always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been
observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

propagate the difference.

In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum always stays above the

82762d2af3 sched/fair: Replace CFS internal cpu_util() with cpu_util_cfs()
cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.

Commit a07630b8b2 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.

The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).

For straightforwardness, prefer to keep using `int cpu` as the function
parameter over using `struct rq *rq` which might avoid some calls to
cpu_rq(cpu) -> per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) -> RELOC_HIDE().
Update cfs_util()'s documentation and reuse it for cpu_util_cfs().
Remove cpu_util().

2917406c35 sched/fair: Document the slow path and fast path in select_task_rq_fair
All People I know including myself took a long time to figure out that
typical wakeup will always go to fast path and never go to slow path
except WF_FORK and WF_EXEC.

Vincent reminded me once in a linaro meeting and made me understand
slow path won't happen for WF_TTWU. But my other friends repeatedly
wasted a lot of time on testing this path like me before I reminded
them.

So obviously the code needs some document.
