32927393dc sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

eec4844fae proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

02cfdc95a0 sched/x86: Remove unnecessary TBM3 check to update topology
Scheduling to the max performance core is enabled by
default for Turbo Boost Maxt Technology 3.0 capable platforms.

Remove the useless sysctl_sched_itmt_enabled check to
update sched topology for adding the prioritized core scheduling
flag.

a293b3954a x86/sched: Use #include <linux/mutex.h> instead of #include <asm/mutex.h>
asm/mutex.h is gone from the locking tree, which makes sched/core break the build.

Use linux/mutex.h instead, which is the canonical method.

f9793e3495 x86/sysctl: Add sysctl for ITMT scheduling feature
Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (ITMT) feature
allows some cores to be boosted to higher turbo
frequency than others.

Add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_itmt_enabled so operator
can enable/disable scheduling of tasks that favor cores
with higher turbo boost frequency potential.

By default, system that is ITMT capable and single
socket has this feature turned on.  It is more likely
to be lightly loaded and operates in Turbo range.

When there is a change in the ITMT scheduling operation
desired, a rebuild of the sched domain is initiated
so the scheduler can set up sched domains with appropriate
flag to enable/disable ITMT scheduling operations.

5e76b2ab36 x86: Enable Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0
On platforms supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the maximum
turbo frequencies of some cores in a CPU package may be higher than for
the other cores in the same package.  In that case, better performance
(and possibly lower energy consumption as well) can be achieved by
making the scheduler prefer to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max
turbo frequencies.

To that end, set up a core priority metric to abstract the core
preferences based on the maximum turbo frequency.  In that metric,
the cores with higher maximum turbo frequencies are higher-priority
than the other cores in the same package and that causes the scheduler
to favor them when making load-balancing decisions using the asymmertic
packing approach.  At the same time, the priority of SMT threads with a
higher CPU number is reduced so as to avoid scheduling tasks on all of
the threads that belong to a favored core before all of the other cores
have been given a task to run.

The priority metric will be initialized by the P-state driver with the
help of the sched_set_itmt_core_prio() function.  The P-state driver
will also determine whether or not ITMT is supported by the platform
and will call sched_set_itmt_support() to indicate that.
