As pointed out by commit de9b8f5d ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread") init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them. As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again. In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at bringup_cpu(). Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible* CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0 between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by idle_thread_get() -> idle_init(). Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove init_idle() from idle_thread_get(). Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle: @begone@ @@ -preempt_disable(); ... cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE); Signed-off-by:

This patch provides support for setting and copying core scheduling 'task cookies' between threads (PID), processes (TGID), and process groups (PGID). The value of core scheduling isn't that tasks don't share a core, 'nosmt' can do that. The value lies in exploiting all the sharing opportunities that exist to recover possible lost performance and that requires a degree of flexibility in the API. From a security perspective (and there are others), the thread, process and process group distinction is an existent hierarchal categorization of tasks that reflects many of the security concerns about 'data sharing'. For example, protecting against cache-snooping by a thread that can just read the memory directly isn't all that useful. With this in mind, subcommands to CREATE/SHARE (TO/FROM) provide a mechanism to create and share cookies. CREATE/SHARE_TO specify a target pid with enum pidtype used to specify the scope of the targeted tasks. For example, PIDTYPE_TGID will share the cookie with the process and all of it's threads as typically desired in a security scenario. API: prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_GET, tgtpid, pidtype, &cookie) prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL) prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL) prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, srcpid, pidtype, NULL) where 'tgtpid/srcpid == 0' implies the current process and pidtype is kernel enum pid_type {PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID, PIDTYPE_PGID, ...}. For return values, EINVAL, ENOMEM are what they say. ESRCH means the tgtpid/srcpid was not found. EPERM indicates lack of PTRACE permission access to tgtpid/srcpid. ENODEV indicates your machines lacks SMT. [peterz: complete rewrite] Signed-off-by: -

- Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's core cookie, this task may be skipped by this CPU. This mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU. - Select cookie matched idle CPU In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU. - Find cookie matched idlest CPU In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core cookie matches with task's cookie Signed-off-by:Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:

During force-idle, we end up doing cross-cpu comparison of vruntimes during pick_next_task. If we simply compare (vruntime-min_vruntime) across CPUs, and if the CPUs only have 1 task each, we will always end up comparing 0 with 0 and pick just one of the tasks all the time. This starves the task that was not picked. To fix this, take a snapshot of the min_vruntime when entering force idle and use it for comparison. This min_vruntime snapshot will only be used for cross-CPU vruntime comparison, and nothing else. A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling: During selection: When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot. when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot. When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot. Which gives: fib fi update 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 Where: fi: force-idled now fib: force-idled before So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi). Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the core is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to know whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy. So pass this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less(). Suggested-by:

The rationale is as follows. In the core-wide pick logic, even if need_sync == false, we need to go look at other CPUs (non-local CPUs) to see if they could be running RT. Say the RQs in a particular core look like this: Let CFS1 and CFS2 be 2 tagged CFS tags. Let RT1 be an untagged RT task. rq0 rq1 CFS1 (tagged) RT1 (no tag) CFS2 (tagged) Say schedule() runs on rq0. Now, it will enter the above loop and pick_task(RT) will return NULL for 'p'. It will enter the above if() block and see that need_sync == false and will skip RT entirely. The end result of the selection will be (say prio(CFS1) > prio(CFS2)): rq0 rq1 CFS1 IDLE When it should have selected: rq0 rq1 IDLE RT Suggested-by:

If there is only one long running local task and the sibling is forced idle, it might not get a chance to run until a schedule event happens on any cpu in the core. So we check for this condition during a tick to see if a sibling is starved and then give it a chance to schedule. Signed-off-by:

Introduce task_struct::core_cookie as an opaque identifier for core scheduling. When enabled; core scheduling will only allow matching task to be on the core; where idle matches everything. When task_struct::core_cookie is set (and core scheduling is enabled) these tasks are indexed in a second RB-tree, first on cookie value then on scheduling function, such that matching task selection always finds the most elegible match. NOTE: *shudder* at the overhead... NOTE: *sigh*, a 3rd copy of the scheduling function; the alternative is per class tracking of cookies and that just duplicates a lot of stuff for no raisin (the 2nd copy lives in the rt-mutex PI code).

rq_lockp() includes a static_branch(), which is asm-goto, which is asm volatile which defeats regular CSE.

Introduce the basic infrastructure to have a core wide rq->lock. This relies on the rq->__lock order being in increasing CPU number (inside a core). It is also constrained to SMT8 per lockdep (and SMT256 per preempt_count). Luckily SMT8 is the max supported SMT count for Linux (Mips, Sparc and Power are known to have this). Signed-off-by:

Peter Zijlstra authored
When switching on core-sched, CPUs need to agree which lock to use for their RQ. The new rule will be that rq->core_enabled will be toggled while holding all rq->__locks that belong to a core. This means we need to double check the rq->core_enabled value after each lock acquire and retry if it changed. This also has implications for those sites that take multiple RQ locks, they need to be careful that the second lock doesn't end up being the first lock. Verify the lock pointer after acquiring the first lock, because if they're on the same core, holding any of the rq->__lock instances will pin the core state. While there, change the rq->__lock order to CPU number, instead of rq address, this greatly simplifies the next patch. Signed-off-by:

The situation around sched_info is somewhat complicated, it is used by sched_stats and delayacct and, indirectly, kvm. If SCHEDSTATS=Y (but disabled by default) sched_info_on() is unconditionally true -- this is the case for all distro kernel configs I checked. If for some reason SCHEDSTATS=N, but TASK_DELAY_ACCT=Y, then sched_info_on() can return false when delayacct is disabled, presumably because there would be no other users left; except kvm is. Instead of complicating matters further by accurately accounting sched_stat and kvm state, simply unconditionally enable when SCHED_INFO=Y, matching the common distro case. Signed-off-by:

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) searches the best energy CPU to place a task on. To do so, compute_energy() estimates the energy impact of placing the task on a CPU, based on CPU and task utilization signals. Utilization signals can be concurrently updated while evaluating a performance domain (pd). In some cases, this leads to having a 'negative delta', i.e. placing the task in the pd is seen as an energy gain. Thus, any further energy comparison is biased. In case of a 'negative delta', return prev_cpu since: 1. a 'negative delta' happens in less than 0.5% of feec() calls, on a Juno with 6 CPUs (4 little, 2 big) 2. it is unlikely to have two consecutive 'negative delta' for a task, so if the first call fails, feec() will correctly place the task in the next feec() call 3. EAS current behavior tends to select prev_cpu if the task doesn't raise the OPP of its current pd. prev_cpu is EAS's generic decision 4. prev_cpu should be preferred to returning an error code. In the latter case, select_idle_sibling() would do the placement, selecting a big (and not energy efficient) CPU. As 3., the task would potentially reside on the big CPU for a long time Reported-by:

find_energy_efficient_cpu() searches the best energy CPU to place a task on. To do so, the energy of each performance domain (pd) is computed w/ and w/o the task placed on it. The energy of a pd w/o the task (base_energy_pd) is computed prior knowing whether a CPU is available in the pd. Move the base_energy_pd computation after looping through the CPUs of a pd and only compute it if at least one CPU is available. Suggested-by:

The try_to_wake_up function has an optimization where it can queue a task for wakeup on its previous CPU, if the task is still in the middle of going to sleep inside schedule(). Once schedule() re-enables IRQs, the task will be woken up with an IPI, and placed back on the runqueue. If we have such a wakeup pending, there is no need to search other CPUs for runnable tasks. Just skip (or bail out early from) newidle balancing, and run the just woken up task. For a memcache like workload test, this reduces total CPU use by about 2%, proportionally split between user and system time, and p99 and p95 application response time by 10% on average. The schedstats run_delay number shows a similar improvement. Signed-off-by:

In commit: 9fe1f127 ("sched/fair: Merge select_idle_core/cpu()") in select_idle_cpu(), we check if an idle core is present in the LLC of the target CPU via the flag "has_idle_cores". We look for the idle core in select_idle_cores(). If select_idle_cores() isn't able to find an idle core/CPU, we need to unset the has_idle_cores flag in the LLC of the target to prevent other CPUs from going down this route. However, the current code is unsetting it in the LLC of the current CPU instead of the target CPU. This patch fixes this issue.
