Currently, the raw cache will be reset when next_f is changed after get_next_freq for correctness. However, it may introduce more cycles in those cases. This patch changes it to maintain the cached value instead of dropping it.

The cpufreq_schedutil governor keeps a cache of the last
raw frequency that was mapped to a supported device frequency.
If the next request for a frequency matches the cached
value, the policy's next_freq value is reused. But there
are paths that can update the raw cached value without
updating the next_freq value, and there are paths that
can set the next_freq value without setting the raw
cached value. On those paths, the cached value
must be reset.
The case that has been observed is when a frequency request
reaches sugov_update_commit but is then rejected by to
the sugov_up_down_rate_limit check.

ttwu_remote() unconditionally locks the task's runqueue lock, which implies
a full barrier across the lock and unlock, so the acquire barrier after the
control dependency is only needed when the task isn't on the runqueue.

wake_affine_idle() prefers to move a task to the current CPU if the
wakeup is due to an interrupt. The expectation is that the interrupt
data is cache hot and relevant to the waking task as well as avoiding
a search. However, there is no way to determine if there was cache hot
data on the previous CPU that may exceed the interrupt data. Furthermore,
round-robin delivery of interrupts can migrate tasks around a socket where
each CPU is under-utilised. This can interact badly with cpufreq which
makes decisions based on per-cpu data. It has been observed on machines
with HWP that p-states are not boosted to their maximum levels even though
the workload is latency and throughput sensitive.
This patch uses the previous CPU for the task if it's idle and cache-affine
with the current CPU even if the current CPU is idle due to the wakup
being related to the interrupt. This reduces migrations at the cost of
the interrupt data not being cache hot when the task wakes.
A variety of workloads were tested on various machines and no adverse
impact was noticed that was outside noise. dbench on ext4 on UMA showed
roughly 10% reduction in the number of CPU migrations and it is a case
where interrupts are frequent for IO competions. In most cases, the
difference in performance is quite small but variability is often
reduced. For example, this is the result for pgbench running on a UMA
machine with different numbers of clients.

If waking from an idle CPU due to an interrupt then it's possible that
the waker task will be pulled to wake on the current CPU. Unfortunately,
depending on the type of interrupt and IRQ configuration, there may not
be a strong relationship between the CPU an interrupt was delivered on
and the CPU a task was running on. For example, the interrupts could all
be delivered to CPUs on one particular node due to the machine topology
or IRQ affinity configuration. Another example is an interrupt for an IO
completion which can be delivered to any CPU where there is no guarantee
the data is either cache hot or even local.
This patch was motivated by the observation that an IO workload was
being pulled cross-node on a frequent basis when IO completed. From a
wakeup latency perspective, it's still useful to know that an idle CPU is
immediately available for use but lets only consider an automatic migration
if the CPUs share cache to limit damage due to NUMA migrations. Migrations
may still occur if wake_affine_weight determines it's appropriate.
These are the throughput results for dbench running on ext4 comparing
4.15-rc3 and this patch on a 2-socket machine where interrupts due to IO
completions can happen on any CPU.

Note the small increase in throughput for low thread counts but also
note that the standard deviation for each sample during the test run is
lower. The throughput figures for dbench can be misleading so the benchmark
is actually modified to time the latency of the processing of one load
file with many samples taken. The difference in latency is

It's a small improvement which is not surprising given that migrations that
migrate to a different node as not that common. However, it is noticeable
in the CPU migration statistics which are reduced by 24%.

likely within run-to-run variance. System CPU usage is slightly reduced.
schbench from Facebook was also requested. This is a bit of a mixed bag but
it's important to note that this workload should not be heavily impacted
by wakeups from interrupt context.

When heavily loaded (e.g. 99.50th-qrtle-39 indicates 39 threads), there
are small gains in many cases. Otherwise it depends on the quartile used
where it can be bad -- e.g. 75.00th-qrtle-2. However, even these results
are probably a co-incidence. For this workload, much depends on what node
the threads get placed on and their relative locality and not wakeups from
interrupt context. A larger component on how it behaves would be automatic
NUMA balancing where a fault incurred to measure locality would be a much
larger contributer to latency than the wakeup path.
This is the results from an almost identical machine that happened to run
the same test. They only differ in terms of storage which is irrelevant
for this test.

this is the fact that testing on a UMA machine showed small gains/losses
even though the patch should be a no-op on UMA.

As a first step this patch makes cfs_tasks list as MRU one.
It means, that when a next task is picked to run on physical
CPU it is moved to the front of the list.
Therefore, the cfs_tasks list is more or less sorted (except
woken tasks) starting from recently given CPU time tasks toward
tasks with max wait time in a run-queue, i.e. MRU list.
Second, as part of the load balance operation, this approach
starts detach_tasks()/detach_one_task() from the tail of the
queue instead of the head, giving some advantages:
- tends to pick a task with highest wait time;
- tasks located in the tail are less likely cache-hot,
therefore the can_migrate_task() decision is higher.
hackbench illustrates slightly better performance. For example
doing 1000 samples and 40 groups on i5-3320M CPU, it shows below
figures:
default: 0.657 avg
patched: 0.646 avg

Allows nr_iowait to be decremented before it gets incremented,

Note that because we can now do ttwu_queue_wakelist() before
p->on_cpu==0, we lose the natural ordering and have to further delay
the decrement.

There is apparently one site that violates the rule that only current
and ttwu() will modify task->state, namely ptrace_{,un}freeze_traced()
will change task->state for a remote task.
Oleg explains:
"TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED was always protected by siglock. In
particular, ttwu(__TASK_TRACED) must be always called with siglock
held. That is why ptrace_freeze_traced() assumes it can safely do
s/TASK_TRACED/__TASK_TRACED/ under spin_lock(siglock)."
This breaks the ordering scheme introduced by commit:
dbfb089d360b ("sched: Fix loadavg accounting race")
Specifically, the reload not matching no longer implies we don't have
to block.
Simply things by noting that what we need is a LOAD->STORE ordering
and this can be provided by a control dependency.
So replace:
prev_state = prev->state;
raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock);
smp_mb__after_spinlock(); /* SMP-MB */
if (... && prev_state && prev_state == prev->state)
deactivate_task();
with:
prev_state = prev->state;
if (... && prev_state) /* CTRL-DEP */
deactivate_task();
Since that already implies the 'prev->state' load must be complete
before allowing the 'prev->on_rq = 0' store to become visible.

The recent commit:
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
moved these lines in ttwu():
p->sched_contributes_to_load = !!task_contributes_to_load(p);
p->state = TASK_WAKING;
up before:
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
into the 'p->on_rq == 0' block, with the thinking that once we hit
schedule() the current task cannot change it's ->state anymore. And
while this is true, it is both incorrect and flawed.
It is incorrect in that we need at least an ACQUIRE on 'p->on_rq == 0'
to avoid weak hardware from re-ordering things for us. This can fairly
easily be achieved by relying on the control-dependency already in
place.
The second problem, which makes the flaw in the original argument, is
that while schedule() will not change prev->state, it will read it a
number of times (arguably too many times since it's marked volatile).
The previous condition 'p->on_cpu == 0' was sufficient because that
indicates schedule() has completed, and will no longer read
prev->state. So now the trick is to make this same true for the (much)
earlier 'prev->on_rq == 0' case.
Furthermore, in order to make the ordering stick, the 'prev->on_rq = 0'
assignment needs to he a RELEASE, but adding additional ordering to
schedule() is an unwelcome proposition at the best of times, doubly so
for mere accounting.
Luckily we can push the prev->state load up before rq->lock, with the
only caveat that we then have to re-read the state after. However, we
know that if it changed, we no longer have to worry about the blocking
path. This gives us the required ordering, if we block, we did the
prev->state load before an (effective) smp_mb() and the p->on_rq store
needs not change.
With this we end up with the effective ordering:
LOAD p->state LOAD-ACQUIRE p->on_rq == 0
MB
STORE p->on_rq, 0 STORE p->state, TASK_WAKING
which ensures the TASK_WAKING store happens after the prev->state
load, and all is well again.

Paul reported rcutorture occasionally hitting a NULL deref:
sched_ttwu_pending()
ttwu_do_wakeup()
check_preempt_curr() := check_preempt_wakeup()
find_matching_se()
is_same_group()
if (se->cfs_rq == pse->cfs_rq) <-- *BOOM*
Debugging showed that this only appears to happen when we take the new
code-path from commit:
2ebb17717550 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling")
and only when @cpu == smp_processor_id(). Something which should not
be possible, because p->on_cpu can only be true for remote tasks.
Similarly, without the new code-path from commit:
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
this would've unconditionally hit:
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
and if: 'cpu == smp_processor_id() && p->on_cpu' is possible, this
would result in an instant live-lock (with IRQs disabled), something
that hasn't been reported.
The NULL deref can be explained however if the task_cpu(p) load at the
beginning of try_to_wake_up() returns an old value, and this old value
happens to be smp_processor_id(). Further assume that the p->on_cpu
load accurately returns 1, it really is still running, just not here.
Then, when we enqueue the task locally, we can crash in exactly the
observed manner because p->se.cfs_rq != rq->cfs_rq, because p's cfs_rq
is from the wrong CPU, therefore we'll iterate into the non-existant
parents and NULL deref.
The closest semi-plausible scenario I've managed to contrive is
somewhat elaborate (then again, actual reproduction takes many CPU
hours of rcutorture, so it can't be anything obvious):
X->cpu = 1
rq(1)->curr = X
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
// switch away from X
LOCK rq(1)->lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
dequeue_task(X)
X->on_rq = 9
switch_to(Z)
X->on_cpu = 0
UNLOCK rq(1)->lock
// migrate X to cpu 0
LOCK rq(1)->lock
dequeue_task(X)
set_task_cpu(X, 0)
X->cpu = 0
UNLOCK rq(1)->lock
LOCK rq(0)->lock
enqueue_task(X)
X->on_rq = 1
UNLOCK rq(0)->lock
// switch to X
LOCK rq(0)->lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
switch_to(X)
X->on_cpu = 1
UNLOCK rq(0)->lock
// X goes sleep
X->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
smp_mb(); // wake X
ttwu()
LOCK X->pi_lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
if (p->state)
cpu = X->cpu; // =? 1
smp_rmb()
// X calls schedule()
LOCK rq(0)->lock
smp_mb__after_spinlock
dequeue_task(X)
X->on_rq = 0
if (p->on_rq)
smp_rmb();
if (p->on_cpu && ttwu_queue_wakelist(..)) [*]
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL)
cpu = select_task_rq(X, X->wake_cpu, ...)
if (X->cpu != cpu)
switch_to(Y)
X->on_cpu = 0
UNLOCK rq(0)->lock
However I'm having trouble convincing myself that's actually possible
on x86_64 -- after all, every LOCK implies an smp_mb() there, so if ttwu
observes ->state != RUNNING, it must also observe ->cpu != 1.
(Most of the previous ttwu() races were found on very large PowerPC)
Nevertheless, this fully explains the observed failure case.
Fix it by ordering the task_cpu(p) load after the p->on_cpu load,
which is easy since nothing actually uses @cpu before this.

The previous commit:
c6e7bd7afaeb: ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
avoids spinning on p->on_rq when the task is descheduling, but only if the
wakee is on a CPU that does not share cache with the waker.
This patch offloads the activation of the wakee to the CPU that is about to
go idle if the task is the only one on the runqueue. This potentially allows
the waker task to continue making progress when the wakeup is not strictly
synchronous.
This is very obvious with netperf UDP_STREAM running on localhost. The
waker is sending packets as quickly as possible without waiting for any
reply. It frequently wakes the server for the processing of packets and
when netserver is using local memory, it quickly completes the processing
and goes back to idle. The waker often observes that netserver is on_rq
and spins excessively leading to a drop in throughput.
This is a comparison of 5.7-rc6 against "sched: Optimize ttwu() spinning
on p->on_cpu" and against this patch labeled vanilla, optttwu-v1r1 and
localwakelist-v1r2 respectively.

Note that this benefit is not universal to all wakeups, it only applies
to the case where the waker often spins on p->on_rq.
The impact can be seen from a "perf sched latency" report generated from
a single iteration of one packet size:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Task | Runtime ms | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms | Maximum delay at |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

netperf:4337 | 21709.193 ms | 2932 | avg: 0.002 ms | max: 0.041 ms | max at: 112.154512 s

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that the average wakeup delay is quite small on both the vanilla
kernel and with the two patches applied. However, there are significant
outliers with the vanilla kernel with the maximum one measured as 1615
milliseconds with a vanilla kernel but never worse than 0.362 ms with
both patches applied and a much higher rate of context switching.
Similarly a separate profile of cycles showed that 2.83% of all cycles
were spent in try_to_wake_up() with almost half of the cycles spent
on spinning on p->on_rq. With the two patches, the percentage of cycles
spent in try_to_wake_up() drops to 1.13%

Both Rik and Mel reported seeing ttwu() spend significant time on:
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
Attempt to avoid this by queueing the wakeup on the CPU that owns the
p->on_cpu value. This will then allow the ttwu() to complete without
further waiting.
Since we run schedule() with interrupts disabled, the IPI is
guaranteed to happen after p->on_cpu is cleared, this is what makes it
safe to queue early.

Jens reported that significant performance can be had on some block
workloads by special casing local wakeups. That is, wakeups on the
current task before it schedules out.
Given something like the normal wait pattern:
for (;;) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
if (cond)
break;
schedule();
}
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
Any wakeup (on this CPU) after set_current_state() and before
schedule() would benefit from this.
Normal wakeups take p->pi_lock, which serializes wakeups to the same
task. By eliding that we gain concurrency on:
- ttwu_stat(); we already had concurrency on rq stats, this now also
brings it to task stats. -ENOCARE
- tracepoints; it is now possible to get multiple instances of
trace_sched_waking() (and possibly trace_sched_wakeup()) for the
same task. Tracers will have to learn to cope.
Furthermore, p->pi_lock is used by set_special_state(), to order
against TASK_RUNNING stores from other CPUs. But since this is
strictly CPU local, we don't need the lock, and set_special_state()'s
disabling of IRQs is sufficient.
After the normal wakeup takes p->pi_lock it issues
smp_mb__after_spinlock(), in order to ensure the woken task must
observe prior stores before we observe the p->state. If this is CPU
local, this will be satisfied with a compiler barrier, and we rely on
try_to_wake_up() being a funcation call, which implies such.
Since, when 'p == current', 'p->on_rq' must be true, the normal wakeup
would continue into the ttwu_remote() branch, which normally is
concerned with exactly this wakeup scenario, except from a remote CPU.
IOW we're waking a task that is still running. In this case, we can
trivially avoid taking rq->lock, all that's left from this is to set
p->state.
This then yields an extremely simple and fast path for 'p == current'.

With scheduler placement hint, there still could be several boosted
tasks contending for big cores. On chipset with fewer big cores, it
might cause problems like jank. To improve it, schedule tasks of prio
>= DEFAULT_PRIO from little cores if they could fit, even for tasks
that prefer high capacity cpus, since such prio means they are less
important.

Currently iowait doesn't distinguish background/foreground tasks and we
have seen cases where a device run to high frequency unnecessarily when
running some background I/O. This patch limits iowait boost to tasks with
prefer_idle only. Specifically, on Pixel, those are foreground and top
app tasks.

Current cpu util includes util of runnable tasks plus the recent utilization
of currently non-runnable tasks, so it may return a non-zero value even
there is no task running on a cpu. When scheduler is selecting a cpu for
a task, it will check if cpu util is over its capacity, what could
happen is that it will skip a cpu even it is idle, so let scheduler
skip util checking if the task perfers idle cpu and the cpu is idle.

Important threads can get forced to little cpu's
when the sync or prev_bias hints are followed
blindly. This patch adds a check to see whether
those paths are forcing the task to a cpu that
has less capacity than other cpu's available for
the task. If so, we ignore the sync and prev_bias
and allow the scheduler to make a free decision.

If we ever wanted to stop big tasks from being balanced out to smaller cluster,
it had already been done by checking the tasks in can_migrate_task() with
schedtune
This commit, however, introduces a bug that light tasks including non-big tasks
not being balanced out to smaller cluster, resulting in big cluster being
occasionally overloaded

This task migration logic is guarded by a WALT #ifdef even though it has
nothing specific to do with WALT. The result is that, with PELT, boosted
tasks can be migrated to the little cluster, causing visible stutters.
Move the WALT #ifdef so PELT can benefit from this logic as well.

spins on acquiring the rq lock in a hot path, wasting CPU time. Compile

Currently when calculating boosted util for a cpu, it uses a fixed
value of 1024 for calculation. So when top-app tasks moved to LC,
which has much lower capacity than BC, the freq calculated will be
high even the cpu util is low. This results in higher power
consumption, especially on arch which has more little cores than
big cores. By replacing the fixed value of 1024 with actual cpu
capacity will reduce the freq calculated on LC.

Commit 20017f3383 ("sched/fair: Only kick nohz balance when runqueue
has more than 1 task") disabled the nohz kick for LB when a rq has a
misfit task. The assumption is that this would be addressed in the
forced up-migration path. However, this path is WALT-specific, so
disabling the nohz kick breaks PELT.
Fix it by re-enabling the nohz_kick when there is a misfit task on the
rq.

The estimated utilization for a task:
util_est = max(util_avg, est.enqueue, est.ewma)
is defined based on:
- util_avg: the PELT defined utilization
- est.enqueued: the util_avg at the end of the last activation
- est.ewma: a exponential moving average on the est.enqueued
samples
According to this definition, when a task suddenly change its bandwidth
requirements from small to big, the EWMA will need to collect multiple
samples before converging up to track the new big utilization.
This slow convergence towards bigger utilization values is not
aligned to the default scheduler behavior, which is to optimize for
performance. Moreover, the est.ewma component fails to compensate for
temporarely utilization drops which spans just few est.enqueued samples.
To let util_est do a better job in the scenario depicted above, change
its definition by making util_est directly follow upward motion and
only decay the est.ewma on downward.

The RT_RUNTIME_SHARE sched feature enables the sharing of rt_runtime
between CPUs, allowing a CPU to run a real-time task up to 100% of the
time while leaving more space for non-real-time tasks to run on the CPU
that lend rt_runtime.
The problem is that a CPU can easily borrow enough rt_runtime to allow
a spinning rt-task to run forever, starving per-cpu tasks like kworkers,
which are non-real-time by design.
This patch disables RT_RUNTIME_SHARE by default, avoiding this problem.
The feature will still be present for users that want to enable it,
though.
