Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters. Although userspace can carefully manage the affinity masks for such tasks, one place where it is particularly problematic is execve() because the CPU on which the execve() is occurring may be incompatible with the new application image. In such a situation, it is desirable to restrict the affinity mask of the task and ensure that the new image is entered on a compatible CPU. From userspace's point of view, this looks the same as if the incompatible CPUs have been hotplugged off in the task's affinity mask. Similarly, if a subsequent execve() reverts to a compatible image, then the old affinity is restored if it is still valid. In preparation for restricting the affinity mask for compat tasks on arm64 systems without uniform support for 32-bit applications, introduce {force,relax}_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which respectively restrict and restore the affinity mask for a task based on the compatible CPUs.

select_fallback_rq() only needs to recheck for an allowed CPU if the affinity mask of the task has changed since the last check. Return a 'bool' from cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() to indicate whether the affinity mask was updated, and use this to elide the allowed check when the mask has been left alone. No functional change.

Modify guarantee_online_cpus() to take task_cpu_possible_mask() into account when trying to find a suitable set of online CPUs for a given task. This will avoid passing an invalid mask to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() during ->attach() and will subsequently allow the cpuset hierarchy to be taken into account when forcefully overriding the affinity mask for a task which requires migration to a compatible CPU.

If the scheduler cannot find an allowed CPU for a task, cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() will widen the affinity to cpu_possible_mask if cgroup v1 is in use. In preparation for allowing architectures to provide their own fallback mask, just return early if we're either using cgroup v1 or we're using cgroup v2 with a mask that contains invalid CPUs. This will allow select_fallback_rq() to figure out the mask by itself. Signed-off-by:

As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters. On such a system, we must take care not to migrate a task to an unsupported CPU when forcefully moving tasks in select_fallback_rq() in response to a CPU hot-unplug operation. Introduce a task_cpu_possible_mask() hook which, given a task argument, allows an architecture to return a cpumask of CPUs that are capable of executing that task. The default implementation returns the cpu_possible_mask, since sane machines do not suffer from per-cpu ISA limitations that affect scheduling. The new mask is used when selecting the fallback runqueue as a last resort before forcing a migration to the first active CPU. Signed-off-by:

This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups. Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle. 0: default behavior 1: SCHED_IDLE Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly. Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight. There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup SCHED_IDLE interface: - The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the cgroup, not the tasks themselves. - Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity. A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the perspective of a specific task). For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities. The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred for preemption/placement/etc. Signed-off-by:Josh Don <joshdon@google.com> Signed-off-by:

The scheduler currently expects NUMA node distances to be stable from init onwards, and as a consequence builds the related data structures once-and-for-all at init (see sched_init_numa()). Unfortunately, on some architectures node distance is unreliable for offline nodes and may very well change upon onlining. Skip over offline nodes during sched_init_numa(). Track nodes that have been onlined at least once, and trigger a build of a node's NUMA masks when it is first onlined post-init. Reported-by:

SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS can be passed to sched_setattr to specify that the call must not touch scheduling parameters (nice or priority). This is particularly handy for uclamp when used in conjunction with SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY as that allows to issue a syscall that only impacts uclamp values. However, sched_setattr always checks whether the priorities and nice values passed in sched_attr are valid first, even if those never get used down the line. This is useless at best since userspace can trivially bypass this check to set the uclamp values by specifying low priorities. However, it is cumbersome to do so as there is no single expression of this that skips both RT and CFS checks at once. As such, userspace needs to query the task policy first with e.g. sched_getattr and then set sched_attr.sched_priority accordingly. This is racy and slower than a single call. As the priority and nice checks are useless when SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS is specified, simply inherit them in this case to match the policy inheritance of SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY. Reported-by:

The UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE flag is set on a runqueue when dequeueing the last uclamp active task (that is, when buckets.tasks reaches 0 for all buckets) to maintain the last uclamp.max and prevent blocked util from suddenly becoming visible. However, there is an asymmetry in how the flag is set and cleared which can lead to having the flag set whilst there are active tasks on the rq. Specifically, the flag is cleared in the uclamp_rq_inc() path, which is called at enqueue time, but set in uclamp_rq_dec_id() which is called both when dequeueing a task _and_ in the update_uclamp_active() path. As a result, when both uclamp_rq_{dec,ind}_id() are called from update_uclamp_active(), the flag ends up being set but not cleared, hence leaving the runqueue in a broken state. Fix this by clearing the flag in update_uclamp_active() as well. Fixes: e496187d ("sched/uclamp: Enforce last task's UCLAMP_MAX") Reported-by:Rick Yiu <rickyiu@google.com> Signed-off-by:

After select_idle_sibling, p->recent_used_cpu is set to the new target. However on the next wakeup, prev will be the same as recent_used_cpu unless the load balancer has moved the task since the last wakeup. It still works, but is less efficient than it could be. This patch preserves recent_used_cpu for longer. The impact on SIS efficiency is tiny so the SIS statistic patches were used to track the hit rate for using recent_used_cpu. With perf bench pipe on a 2-socket Cascadelake machine, the hit rate went from 57.14% to 85.32%. For more intensive wakeup loads like hackbench, the hit rate is almost negligible but rose from 0.21% to 6.64%. For scaling loads like tbench, the hit rate goes from almost 0% to 25.42% overall. Broadly speaking, on tbench, the success rate is much higher for lower thread counts and drops to almost 0 as the workload scales to towards saturation. Signed-off-by:

SCHED_FLAG_SUGOV is supposed to be a kernel-only flag that userspace cannot interact with. However, sched_getattr() currently reports it in sched_flags if called on a sugov worker even though it is not actually defined in a UAPI header. To avoid this, make sure to clean-up the sched_flags field in sched_getattr() before returning to userspace. Signed-off-by:

It is possible for sched_getattr() to incorrectly report the state of the reset_on_fork flag when called on a deadline task. Indeed, if the flag was set on a deadline task using sched_setattr() with flags (SCHED_FLAG_RESET_ON_FORK | SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS), then p->sched_reset_on_fork will be set, but __setscheduler() will bail out early, which means that the dl_se->flags will not get updated by __setscheduler_params()->__setparam_dl(). Consequently, if sched_getattr() is then called on the task, __getparam_dl() will override kattr.sched_flags with the now out-of-date copy in dl_se->flags and report the stale value to userspace. To fix this, make sure to only copy the flags that are relevant to sched_deadline to and from the dl_se->flags field. Signed-off-by:

On a 128 cores AMD machine, there are 8 cores in nohz_full mode, and the others are used for housekeeping. When many housekeeping cpus are in idle state, we can observe huge time burn in the loop for searching nearest busy housekeeper cpu by ftrace. 9) | get_nohz_timer_target() { 9) | housekeeping_test_cpu() { 9) 0.390 us | housekeeping_get_mask.part.1(); 9) 0.561 us | } 9) 0.090 us | __rcu_read_lock(); 9) 0.090 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); 9) 0.521 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); 9) 0.140 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); ... 9) 0.500 us | housekeeping_cpumask(); 9) | housekeeping_any_cpu() { 9) 0.090 us | housekeeping_get_mask.part.1(); 9) 0.100 us | sched_numa_find_closest(); 9) 0.491 us | } 9) 0.100 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 9) + 76.163 us | } for_each_cpu_and() is a micro function, so in get_nohz_timer_target() function the for_each_cpu_and(i, sched_domain_span(sd), housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_TIMER)) equals to below: for (i = -1; i = cpumask_next_and(i, sched_domain_span(sd), housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_TIMER)), i < nr_cpu_ids;) That will cause that housekeeping_cpumask() will be invoked many times. The housekeeping_cpumask() function returns a const value, so it is unnecessary to invoke it every time. This patch can minimize the worst searching time from ~76us to ~16us in my testing.

Since CPU capacity asymmetry can stem purely from maximum frequency differences (e.g. Pixel 1), a rebuild of the scheduler topology can be issued upon loading cpufreq, see: arch_topology.c::init_cpu_capacity_callback() Turns out that if this rebuild happens *before* sched_debug_init() is run (which is a late initcall), we end up messing up the sched_domain debug directory: passing a NULL parent to debugfs_create_dir() ends up creating the directory at the debugfs root, which in this case creates /sys/kernel/debug/domains (instead of /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains). This currently doesn't happen on asymmetric systems which use cpufreq-scpi or cpufreq-dt drivers, as those are loaded via deferred_probe_initcall() (it is also a late initcall, but appears to be ordered *after* sched_debug_init()). Ionela has been working on detecting maximum frequency asymmetry via ACPI, and that actually happens via a *device* initcall, thus before sched_debug_init(), and causes the aforementionned debugfs mayhem. One option would be to punt sched_debug_init() down to fs_initcall_sync(). Preventing update_sched_domain_debugfs() from running before sched_debug_init() appears to be the safer option.

The _sum and _avg values are in general sync together with the PELT divider. They are however not always completely in perfect sync, resulting in situations where _sum gets to zero while _avg stays positive. Such situations are undesirable. This comes from the fact that PELT will increase period_contrib, also increasing the PELT divider, without updating _sum and _avg values to stay in perfect sync where (_sum == _avg * divider). However, such PELT change will never lower _sum, making it impossible to end up in a situation where _sum is zero and _avg is not. Therefore, we need to ensure that when subtracting load outside PELT, that when _sum is zero, _avg is also set to zero. This occurs when (_sum < _avg * divider), and the subtracted (_avg * divider) is bigger or equal to the current _sum, while the subtracted _avg is smaller than the current _avg. Reported-by:

Currently the CPU capacity asymmetry detection, performed through asym_cpu_capacity_level, tries to identify the lowest topology level at which the highest CPU capacity is being observed, not necessarily finding the level at which all possible capacity values are visible to all CPUs, which might be bit problematic for some possible/valid asymmetric topologies i.e.: DIE [ ] MC [ ][ ] CPU [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Capacity |.....| |.....| |.....| |.....| L M B B Where: arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) = 512 arch_scale_cpu_capacity(M) = 871 arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B) = 1024 In this particular case, the asymmetric topology level will point at MC, as all possible CPU masks for that level do cover the CPU with the highest capacity. It will work just fine for the first cluster, not so much for the second one though (consider the find_energy_efficient_cpu which might end up attempting the energy aware wake-up for a domain that does not see any asymmetry at all) Rework the way the capacity asymmetry levels are being detected, allowing to point to the lowest topology level (for a given CPU), where full set of available CPU capacities is visible to all CPUs within given domain. As a result, the per-cpu sd_asym_cpucapacity might differ across the domains. This will have an impact on EAS wake-up placement in a way that it might see different range of CPUs to be considered, depending on the given current and target CPUs. Additionally, those levels, where any range of asymmetry (not necessarily full) is being detected will get identified as well. The selected asymmetric topology level will be denoted by SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL sched domain flag whereas the 'sub-levels' would receive the already used SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag. This allows maintaining the current behaviour for asymmetric topologies, with misfit migration operating correctly on lower levels, if applicable, as any asymmetry is enough to trigger the misfit migration. The logic there relies on the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag and does not relate to the full asymmetry level denoted by the sd_asym_cpucapacity pointer. Detecting the CPU capacity asymmetry is being based on a set of available CPU capacities for all possible CPUs. This data is being generated upon init and updated once CPU topology changes are being detected (through arch_update_cpu_topology). As such, any changes to identified CPU capacities (like initializing cpufreq) need to be explicitly advertised by corresponding archs to trigger rebuilding the data. Additional -dflags- parameter, used when building sched domains, has been removed as well, as the asymmetry flags are now being set directly in sd_init. Suggested-by:

Introducing new, complementary to SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY, sched_domain topology flag, to distinguish between shed_domains where any CPU capacity asymmetry is detected (SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) and ones where a full set of CPU capacities is visible to all domain members (SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL). With the distinction between full and partial CPU capacity asymmetry, brought in by the newly introduced flag, the scope of the original SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag gets shifted, still maintaining the existing behaviour when one is detected on a given sched domain, allowing misfit migrations within sched domains that do not observe full range of CPU capacities but still do have members with different capacity values. It loses though it's meaning when it comes to the lowest CPU asymmetry sched_domain level per-cpu pointer, which is to be now denoted by SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL flag. Signed-off-by:

The CFS bandwidth controller limits CPU requests of a task group to quota during each period. However, parallel workloads might be bursty so that they get throttled even when their average utilization is under quota. And they are latency sensitive at the same time so that throttling them is undesired. We borrow time now against our future underrun, at the cost of increased interference against the other system users. All nicely bounded. Traditional (UP-EDF) bandwidth control is something like: (U = \Sum u_i) <= 1 This guaranteeds both that every deadline is met and that the system is stable. After all, if U were > 1, then for every second of walltime, we'd have to run more than a second of program time, and obviously miss our deadline, but the next deadline will be further out still, there is never time to catch up, unbounded fail. This work observes that a workload doesn't always executes the full quota; this enables one to describe u_i as a statistical distribution. For example, have u_i = {x,e}_i, where x is the p(95) and x+e p(100) (the traditional WCET). This effectively allows u to be smaller, increasing the efficiency (we can pack more tasks in the system), but at the cost of missing deadlines when all the odds line up. However, it does maintain stability, since every overrun must be paired with an underrun as long as our x is above the average. That is, suppose we have 2 tasks, both specify a p(95) value, then we have a p(95)*p(95) = 90.25% chance both tasks are within their quota and everything is good. At the same time we have a p(5)p(5) = 0.25% chance both tasks will exceed their quota at the same time (guaranteed deadline fail). Somewhere in between there's a threshold where one exceeds and the other doesn't underrun enough to compensate; this depends on the specific CDFs. At the same time, we can say that the worst case deadline miss, will be \Sum e_i; that is, there is a bounded tardiness (under the assumption that x+e is indeed WCET). The benefit of burst is seen when testing with schbench. Default value of kernel.sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us(5ms) and CONFIG_HZ(1000) is used. mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cgroup.procs echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_quota_us echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_burst_us ./schbench -m 1 -t 3 -r 20 -c 80000 -R 10 The average CPU usage is at 80%. I run this for 10 times, and got long tail latency for 6 times and got throttled for 8 times. Tail latencies are shown below, and it wasn't the worst case. Latency percentiles (usec) 50.0000th: 19872 75.0000th: 21344 90.0000th: 22176 95.0000th: 22496 *99.0000th: 22752 99.5000th: 22752 99.9000th: 22752 min=0, max=22727 rps: 9.90 p95 (usec) 22496 p99 (usec) 22752 p95/cputime 28.12% p99/cputime 28.44% The interferenece when using burst is valued by the possibilities for missing the deadline and the average WCET. Test results showed that when there many cgroups or CPU is under utilized, the interference is limited.

Now cpu.uclamp.min acts as a protection, we need to make sure that the uclamp request of the task is within the allowed range of the cgroup, that is it is clamp()'ed correctly by tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] and tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX]. As reported by Xuewen [1] we can have some corner cases where there's inversion between uclamp requested by task (p) and the uclamp values of the taskgroup it's attached to (tg). Following table demonstrates 2 corner cases: | p | tg | effective -----------+-----+------+----------- CASE 1 -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 60% -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50% -----------+-----+------+----------- CASE 2 -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_min | 0% | 30% | 30% -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_max | 20% | 50% | 20% -----------+-----+------+----------- With this fix we get: | p | tg | effective -----------+-----+------+----------- CASE 1 -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 50% -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50% -----------+-----+------+----------- CASE 2 -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_min | 0% | 30% | 30% -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_max | 20% | 50% | 30% -----------+-----+------+----------- Additionally uclamp_update_active_tasks() must now unconditionally update both UCLAMP_MIN/MAX because changing the tg's UCLAMP_MAX for instance could have an impact on the effective UCLAMP_MIN of the tasks. | p | tg | effective -----------+-----+------+----------- old -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 50% -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50% -----------+-----+------+----------- *new* -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | *60%* -----------+-----+------+----------- uclamp_max | 80% |*70%* | *70%* -----------+-----+------+----------- [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAB8ipk_a6VFNjiEnHRHkUMBKbA+qzPQvhtNjJ_YNzQhqV_o8Zw@mail.gmail.com/ Fixes: 0c18f2ec ("sched/uclamp: Fix wrong implementation of cpu.uclamp.min") Reported-by:

DL keeps track of the utilization on a per-rq basis with the structure avg_dl. This utilization is updated during task_tick_dl(), put_prev_task_dl() and set_next_task_dl(). However, when the current running task changes its policy, set_next_task_dl() which would usually take care of updating the utilization when the rq starts running DL tasks, will not see a such change, leaving the avg_dl structure outdated. When that very same task will be dequeued later, put_prev_task_dl() will then update the utilization, based on a wrong last_update_time, leading to a huge spike in the DL utilization signal. The signal would eventually recover from this issue after few ms. Even if no DL tasks are run, avg_dl is also updated in __update_blocked_others(). But as the CPU capacity depends partly on the avg_dl, this issue has nonetheless a significant impact on the scheduler. Fix this issue by ensuring a load update when a running task changes its policy to DL. Fixes: 3727e0e1 ("sched/dl: Add dl_rq utilization tracking") Signed-off-by:

Change the type and name of task_struct::state. Drop the volatile and shrink it to an 'unsigned int'. Rename it in order to find all uses such that we can use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE as appropriate. Signed-off-by:

When ran from the sched-out path (preempt_notifier or perf_event), p->state is irrelevant to determine preemption. You can get preempted with !task_is_running() just fine. The right indicator for preemption is if the task is still on the runqueue in the sched-out path. Signed-off-by:
