SCHED_FIFO (or any static priority scheduler) is a broken scheduler model; it is fundamentally incapable of resource management, the one thing an OS is actually supposed to do. It is impossible to compose static priority workloads. One cannot take two well designed and functional static priority workloads and mash them together and still expect them to work. Therefore it doesn't make sense to expose the priority field; the kernel is fundamentally incapable of setting a sensible value, it needs systems knowledge that it doesn't have. Take away sched_setschedule() / sched_setattr() from modules and replace them with: - sched_set_fifo(p); create a FIFO task (at prio 50) - sched_set_fifo_low(p); create a task higher than NORMAL, which ends up being a FIFO task at prio 1. - sched_set_normal(p, nice); (re)set the task to normal This stops the proliferation of randomly chosen, and irrelevant, FIFO priorities that dont't really mean anything anyway. The system administrator/integrator, whoever has insight into the actual system design and requirements (userspace) can set-up appropriate priorities if and when needed.

When a task has a runtime that cannot be served within the scheduling deadline by any of the idle CPU (later_mask) the task is doomed to miss its deadline. This can happen since the SCHED_DEADLINE admission control guarantees only bounded tardiness and not the hard respect of all deadlines. In this case try to select the idle CPU with the largest CPU capacity to minimize tardiness. Favor task_cpu(p) if it has max capacity of !fitting CPUs so that find_later_rq() can potentially still return it (most likely cache-hot) early. Signed-off-by:

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization. This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous systems. A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity). Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if: CPU original capacity / 1024 >= task runtime / task deadline Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration. On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission control should be retained. Signed-off-by: -

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) admission control ensures that sum of reserved CPU bandwidth < x * M where x = /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_{runtime,period}_us M = # CPUs in root domain. DL admission control works well for homogeneous systems where the capacity of all CPUs are equal (1024). I.e. bounded tardiness for DL and non-starvation of non-DL tasks is guaranteed. But on heterogeneous systems where capacity of CPUs are different it could fail by over-allocating CPU time on smaller capacity CPUs. On an Arm big.LITTLE/DynamIQ system DL tasks can easily starve other tasks making it unusable. Fix this by explicitly considering the CPU capacity in the DL admission test by replacing M with the root domain CPU capacity sum. Signed-off-by: -

Capacity-aware SCHED_DEADLINE Admission Control (AC) needs root domain (rd) CPU capacity sum. Introduce dl_bw_capacity() which for a symmetric rd w/ a CPU capacity of SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE simply relies on dl_bw_cpus() to return #CPUs multiplied by SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE. For an asymmetric rd or a CPU capacity < SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE it computes the CPU capacity sum over rd span and cpu_active_mask. A 'XXX Fix:' comment was added to highlight that if 'rq->rd == def_root_domain' AC should be performed against the capacity of the CPU the task is running on rather the rd CPU capacity sum. This issue already exists w/o capacity awareness. Signed-off-by:

With commit: 'b7031a02 ("sched/fair: Add NOHZ_STATS_KICK")' rebalance_domains of the local cfs_rq happens before others idle cpus have updated nohz.next_balance and its value is overwritten. Move the update of nohz.next_balance for other idles cpus before balancing and updating the next_balance of local cfs_rq. Also, the nohz.next_balance is now updated only if all idle cpus got a chance to rebalance their domains and the idle balance has not been aborted because of new activities on the CPU. In case of need_resched, the idle load balance will be kick the next jiffie in order to address remaining ilb. Fixes: b7031a02 ("sched/fair: Add NOHZ_STATS_KICK") Reported-by:

This is a kernel enhancement that configures the cpu affinity of kernel threads via kernel boot option nohz_full=. When this option is specified, the cpumask is immediately applied upon kthread launch. This does not affect kernel threads that specify cpu and node. This allows CPU isolation (that is not allowing certain threads to execute on certain CPUs) without using the isolcpus=domain parameter, making it possible to enable load balancing on such CPUs during runtime (see kernel-parameters.txt). Note-1: this is based off on Wind River's patch at https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-integ/blob/master/kernel/kernel-std/centos/patches/affine-compute-kernel-threads.patch Difference being that this patch is limited to modifying kernel thread cpumask. Behaviour of other threads can be controlled via cgroups or sched_setaffinity. Note-2: Wind River's patch was based off Christoph Lameter's patch at https://lwn.net/Articles/565932/ with the only difference being the kernel parameter changed from kthread to kthread_cpus.

Next patch will switch unbound kernel threads mask to housekeeping_cpumask(), a subset of cpu_possible_mask. So in order to ease bisection, lets first switch kthreads default affinity from cpu_all_mask to cpu_possible_mask. It looks safe to do so as cpu_possible_mask seem to be initialized at setup_arch() time, way before kthreadd is created. Suggested-by:

Each psi group requires a dedicated kthread_delayed_work and kthread_worker. Since no other work can be performed using psi_group's kthread_worker, the same result can be obtained using a task_struct and a timer directly. This makes psi triggering simpler by removing lists and locks involved with kthread_worker usage and eliminates the need for poll_scheduled atomic use in the hot path. Signed-off-by:

The product mcnt * arch_max_freq_ratio can overflows u64. For context, a large value for arch_max_freq_ratio would be 5000, corresponding to a turbo_freq/base_freq ratio of 5 (normally it's more like 1500-2000). A large increment frequency for the MPERF counter would be 5GHz (the base clock of all CPUs on the market today is less than that). With these figures, a CPU would need to go without a scheduler tick for around 8 days for the u64 overflow to happen. It is unlikely, but the check is warranted. Under similar conditions, the difference acnt of two consecutive APERF readings can overflow as well. In these circumstances is appropriate to disable frequency invariant accounting: the feature relies on measures of the clock frequency done at every scheduler tick, which need to be "fresh" to be at all meaningful. A note on i386: prior to version 5.1, the GCC compiler didn't have the builtin function __builtin_mul_overflow. In these GCC versions the macro check_mul_overflow needs __udivdi3() to do (u64)a/b, which the kernel doesn't provide. For this reason this change fails to build on i386 if GCC<5.1, and we protect the entire frequency invariant code behind CONFIG_X86_64 (special thanks to "kbuild test robot" <lkp@intel.com>).

The idle task and stop task sched_classes return 0 in this function. The single call site in sched_rr_get_interval() calls p->sched_class->get_rr_interval() only conditional in case it is defined. Otherwise time_slice=0 will be used. The deadline sched class does not define it. Commit a57beec5 ("sched: Make sched_class::get_rr_interval() optional") introduced the default time-slice=0 for sched classes which do not provide this function. So .get_rr_interval for idle and stop sched_class can be removed to shrink the code a little. Signed-off-by:

People report that utime and stime from /proc/<pid>/stat become very wrong when the numbers are big enough, especially if you watch these counters incrementally. Specifically, the current implementation of: stime*rtime/total, results in a saw-tooth function on top of the desired line, where the teeth grow in size the larger the values become. IOW, it has a relative error. The result is that, when watching incrementally as time progresses (for large values), we'll see periods of pure stime or utime increase, irrespective of the actual ratio we're striving for. Replace scale_stime() with a math64.h helper: mul_u64_u64_div_u64() that is far more accurate. This also allows architectures to override the implementation -- for instance they can opt for the old algorithm if this new one turns out to be too expensive for them. Signed-off-by:
