[ Upstream commit 18f855e574d9799a0e7489f8ae6fd8447d0dd74a ]
Stefano reported a crash with using SQPOLL with io_uring:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000003b0
CPU: 2 PID: 1307 Comm: io_uring-sq Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7 #11

which is task_numa_work() oopsing on current->mm being NULL.
The task work is queued by task_tick_numa(), which checks if current->mm is
NULL at the time of the call. But this state isn't necessarily persistent,
if the kthread is using use_mm() to temporarily adopt the mm of a task.
Change the task_tick_numa() check to exclude kernel threads in general,
as it doesn't make sense to attempt ot balance for kthreads anyway.

[ Upstream commit b34cb07dde7c2346dec73d053ce926aeaa087303 ]
sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning some more
The recent patch, fe61468b2cb (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning)
did not fully resolve the issues with the rq->tmp_alone_branch !=
&rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where
the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely
updated the list. In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can
further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do
what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out
of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was
already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy.
Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents
while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.
Fixes: fe61468b2cb ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning")

[ Upstream commit 5ab297bab984310267734dfbcc8104566658ebef ]
Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still
be enqueued and its gse->on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such
child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase
h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st
for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse->on_rq == true and the
2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both
load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case.
The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before
breaking in the 1st loop.
Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order
to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop
early because the clock stays unchanged.

[ Upstream commit 6d4d22468dae3d8757af9f8b81b848a76ef4409d ]
The walk through the cgroup hierarchy during the enqueue/dequeue of a task
is split in 2 distinct parts for throttled cfs_rq without any added value
but making code less readable.
Change the code ordering such that everything related to a cfs_rq
(throttled or not) will be done in the same loop.
In addition, the same steps ordering is used when updating a cfs_rq:
- update_load_avg
- update_cfs_group
- update *h_nr_running
This reordering enables the use of h_nr_running in PELT algorithm.
No functional and performance changes are expected and have been noticed
during tests.

[ Upstream commit 3662daf023500dc084fa3b96f68a6f46179ddc73 ]
The "isolcpus=" parameter allows sub-parameters before the cpulist is
specified, and if the parser detects an unknown sub-parameters the whole
parameter will be ignored.
This design is incompatible with itself when new sub-parameters are added.
An older kernel will not recognize the new sub-parameter and will
invalidate the whole parameter so the CPU isolation will not take
effect. It emits a warning:
isolcpus: Error, unknown flag
The better and compatible way is to allow "isolcpus=" to skip unknown
sub-parameters, so that even if new sub-parameters are added an older
kernel will still be able to behave as usual even if with the new
sub-parameter specified on the command line.
Ideally this should have been there when the first sub-parameter for
"isolcpus=" was introduced.

commit eaf5a92ebde5bca3bb2565616115bd6d579486cd upstream.
uclamp_fork() resets the uclamp values to their default when the
reset-on-fork flag is set. It also checks whether the task has a RT
policy, and sets its uclamp.min to 1024 accordingly. However, during
reset-on-fork, the task's policy is lowered to SCHED_NORMAL right after,
hence leading to an erroneous uclamp.min setting for the new task if it
was forked from RT.
Fix this by removing the unnecessary check on rt_task() in
uclamp_fork() as this doesn't make sense if the reset-on-fork flag is
set.

commit fe61468b2cbc2b7ce5f8d3bf32ae5001d4c434e9 upstream.
When a cfs rq is throttled, the latter and its child are removed from the
leaf list but their nr_running is not changed which includes staying higher
than 1. When a task is enqueued in this throttled branch, the cfs rqs must
be added back in order to ensure correct ordering in the list but this can
only happens if nr_running == 1.
When cfs bandwidth is used, we call unconditionnaly list_add_leaf_cfs_rq()
when enqueuing an entity to make sure that the complete branch will be
added.
Similarly unthrottle_cfs_rq() can stop adding cfs in the list when a parent
is throttled. Iterate the remaining entity to ensure that the complete
branch will be added in the list.

But, the code below this comment does not check like this.
From reading the code about avg_load in other functions, I
confirm that avg_load should be calculated in fully busy or
overloaded case. The comment is correct and the checking
condition is wrong. So, change that condition.

[ Upstream commit 26cf52229efc87e2effa9d788f9b33c40fb3358a ]
During our testing, we found a case that shares no longer
working correctly, the cgroup topology is like:
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A (shares=102400)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B (shares=2)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B/C (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E/F (shares=1024)
The same benchmark is running in group C & F, no other tasks are
running, the benchmark is capable to consumed all the CPUs.
We suppose the group C will win more CPU resources since it could
enjoy all the shares of group A, but it's F who wins much more.
The reason is because we have group B with shares as 2, since
A->cfs_rq.load.weight == B->se.load.weight == B->shares/nr_cpus,
so A->cfs_rq.load.weight become very small.
And in calc_group_shares() we calculate shares as:
load = max(scale_load_down(cfs_rq->load.weight), cfs_rq->avg.load_avg);
shares = (tg_shares * load) / tg_weight;
Since the 'cfs_rq->load.weight' is too small, the load become 0
after scale down, although 'tg_shares' is 102400, shares of the se
which stand for group A on root cfs_rq become 2.
While the se of D on root cfs_rq is far more bigger than 2, so it
wins the battle.
Thus when scale_load_down() scale real weight down to 0, it's no
longer telling the real story, the caller will have the wrong
information and the calculation will be buggy.
This patch add check in scale_load_down(), so the real weight will
be >= MIN_SHARES after scale, after applied the group C wins as
expected.

to fix XFS performance regression
The following XFS commit:
8ab39f11d974 ("xfs: prevent CIL push holdoff in log recovery")
changed the logic from using bound workqueues to using unbound
workqueues. Functionally this makes sense but it was observed at the
time that the dbench performance dropped quite a lot and CPU migrations
were increased.
The current pattern of the task migration is straight-forward. With XFS,
an IO issuer delegates work to xlog_cil_push_work ()on an unbound kworker.
This runs on a nearby CPU and on completion, dbench wakes up on its old CPU
as it is still idle and no migration occurs. dbench then queues the real
IO on the blk_mq_requeue_work() work item which runs on a bound kworker
which is forced to run on the same CPU as dbench. When IO completes,
the bound kworker wakes dbench but as the kworker is a bound but,
real task, the CPU is not considered idle and dbench gets migrated by
select_idle_sibling() to a new CPU. dbench may ping-pong between two CPUs
for a while but ultimately it starts a round-robin of all CPUs sharing
the same LLC. High-frequency migration on each IO completion has poor
performance overall. It has negative implications both in commication
costs and power management. mpstat confirmed that at low thread counts
that all CPUs sharing an LLC has low level of activity.
Note that even if the CIL patch was reverted, there still would
be migrations but the impact is less noticeable. It turns out that
individually the scheduler, XFS, blk-mq and workqueues all made sensible
decisions but in combination, the overall effect was sub-optimal.
This patch special cases the IO issue/completion pattern and allows
a bound kworker waker and a task wakee to stack on the same CPU if
there is a strong chance they are directly related. The expectation
is that the kworker is likely going back to sleep shortly. This is not
guaranteed as the IO could be queued asynchronously but there is a very
strong relationship between the task and kworker in this case that would
justify stacking on the same CPU instead of migrating. There should be
few concerns about kworker starvation given that the special casing is
only when the kworker is the waker.

Dbench has been modified to report the time to complete a single "load
file". This is a more meaningful metric for dbench that a throughput
metric as the benchmark makes many different system calls that are not
throughput-related
Patch shows a 9.23% and 48.53% reduction in the time to process a load
file with the difference partially explained by the number of CPUs sharing
a LLC. In a separate run, task migrations were almost eliminated by the
patch for low client counts. In case people have issue with the metric
used for the benchmark, this is a comparison of the throughputs as
reported by dbench on the NUMA machine.

When a running task is moved on a throttled task group and there is no
other task enqueued on the CPU, the task can keep running using 100% CPU
whatever the allocated bandwidth for the group and although its cfs rq is
throttled. Furthermore, the group entity of the cfs_rq and its parents are
not enqueued but only set as curr on their respective cfs_rqs.
We have the following sequence:
sched_move_task
-dequeue_task: dequeue task and group_entities.
-put_prev_task: put task and group entities.
-sched_change_group: move task to new group.
-enqueue_task: enqueue only task but not group entities because cfs_rq is
throttled.
-set_next_task : set task and group_entities as current sched_entity of
their cfs_rq.
Another impact is that the root cfs_rq runnable_load_avg at root rq stays
null because the group_entities are not enqueued. This situation will stay
the same until an "external" event triggers a reschedule. Let trigger it
immediately instead.

On a machine, CPU 0 is used for housekeeping, the other 39 CPUs in the
same socket are in nohz_full mode. We can observe huge time burn in the
loop for seaching nearest busy housekeeper cpu by ftrace.

2) 0.458 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();

This patch optimizes the searching logic by finding a nearest housekeeper
CPU in the housekeeping cpumask, it can minimize the worst searching time
from ~44us to < 10us in my testing. In addition, the last iterated busy
housekeeper can become a random candidate while current CPU is a better
fallback if it is a housekeeper.

The CPU load balancer balances between different domains to spread load
and strives to have equal balance everywhere. Communicating tasks can
migrate so they are topologically close to each other but these decisions
are independent. On a lightly loaded NUMA machine, two communicating tasks
pulled together at wakeup time can be pushed apart by the load balancer.
In isolation, the load balancer decision is fine but it ignores the tasks
data locality and the wakeup/LB paths continually conflict. NUMA balancing
is also a factor but it also simply conflicts with the load balancer.
This patch allows a fixed degree of imbalance of two tasks to exist
between NUMA domains regardless of utilisation levels. In many cases,
this prevents communicating tasks being pulled apart. It was evaluated
whether the imbalance should be scaled to the domain size. However, no
additional benefit was measured across a range of workloads and machines
and scaling adds the risk that lower domains have to be rebalanced. While
this could change again in the future, such a change should specify the
use case and benefit.
The most obvious impact is on netperf TCP_STREAM -- two simple
communicating tasks with some softirq offload depending on the
transmission rate.

In this case, there was a sizable improvement to performance and
a general reduction in variance. However, this is not univeral.
For most machines, the impact was roughly a 3% performance gain.

Ops NUMA hint local faults % 8407.00 142.00
Ops NUMA hint local percent 52.18 99.30
Ops NUMA pages migrated 4244.00 1.00
Without the patch, only 52.18% of sampled accesses are local. In an
earlier changelog, 100% of sampled accesses are local and indeed on
most machines, this was still the case. In this specific case, the
local sampled rates was 99.3% but note the "base-page range updates"
and "PTE updates". The activity with the patch is negligible as were
the number of faults. The small number of pages migrated were related to
shared libraries. A 2-socket Broadwell showed better results on average
but are not presented for brevity as the performance was similar except
it showed 100% of the sampled NUMA hints were local. The patch holds up
for a 4-socket Haswell, an AMD EPYC and AMD Epyc 2 machine.
For dbench, the impact depends on the filesystem used and the number of
clients. On XFS, there is little difference as the clients typically
communicate with workqueues which have a separate class of scheduler
problem at the moment. For ext4, performance is generally better,
particularly for small numbers of clients as NUMA balancing activity is
negligible with the patch applied.
A more interesting example is the Facebook schbench which uses a
number of messaging threads to communicate with worker threads. In this
configuration, one messaging thread is used per NUMA node and the number of
worker threads is varied. The 50, 75, 90, 95, 99, 99.5 and 99.9 percentiles
for response latency is then reported.

For higher worker threads, the differences become negligible but it's
interesting to note the difference in wakeup latency at low utilisation
and mpstat confirms that activity was almost all on one node until
the number of worker threads increase.
Hackbench generally showed neutral results across a range of machines.
This is different to earlier versions of the patch which allowed imbalances
for higher degrees of utilisation. perf bench pipe showed negligible
differences in overall performance as the differences are very close to
the noise.
An earlier prototype of the patch showed major regressions for NAS C-class
when running with only half of the available CPUs -- 20-30% performance
hits were measured at the time. With this version of the patch, the impact
is negligible with small gains/losses within the noise measured. This is
because the number of threads far exceeds the small imbalance the aptch
cares about. Similarly, there were report of regressions for the autonuma
benchmark against earlier versions but again, normal load balancing now
applies for that workload.
In general, the patch simply seeks to avoid unnecessary cross-node
migrations in the basic case where imbalances are very small. For low
utilisation communicating workloads, this patch generally behaves better
with less NUMA balancing activity. For high utilisation, there is no
change in behaviour.

The way loadavg is tracked during nohz only pays attention to the load
upon entering nohz. This can be particularly noticeable if full nohz is
entered while non-idle, and then the cpu goes idle and stays that way for

The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and
cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the
kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent
vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity
mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated
CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts
on the isolated CPU.
Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding
logic in the interrupt affinity selection code.
The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that
it should try to avoid the above scenario.
This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically
assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and
housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are
directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping
CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU.
If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter
has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only
happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted
on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues.
If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none
of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also
routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the
isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained
housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the
interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on
the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one
interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the
migration.

topology.c::get_group() relies on the assumption that non-NUMA domains do
not partially overlap. Zeng Tao pointed out in [1] that such topology
descriptions, while completely bogus, can end up being exposed to the
scheduler.
In his example (8 CPUs, 2-node system), we end up with:
MC span for CPU3 == 3-7
MC span for CPU4 == 4-7
The first pass through get_group(3, sdd@MC) will result in the following
sched_group list:
3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
^ /
`----------------'
And a later pass through get_group(4, sdd@MC) will "corrupt" that to:
3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
^ /
`-----------'
which will completely break things like 'while (sg != sd->groups)' when
using CPU3's base sched_domain.
There already are some architecture-specific checks in place such as
x86/kernel/smpboot.c::topology.sane(), but this is something we can detect
in the core scheduler, so it seems worthwhile to do so.
Warn and abort the construction of the sched domains if such a broken
topology description is detected. Note that this is somewhat
expensive (O(t.c²), 't' non-NUMA topology levels and 'c' CPUs) and could be
gated under SCHED_DEBUG if deemed necessary.

With commit
bef69dd87828 ("sched/cpufreq: Move the cfs_rq_util_change() call to cpufreq_update_util()")
update_load_avg() has become the central point for calling cpufreq
(not including the update of blocked load). This change helps to
simplify further the number of calls to cpufreq_update_util() and to
remove last redundant ones. With update_load_avg(), we are now sure
that cpufreq_update_util() will be called after every task attachment
to a cfs_rq and especially after propagating this event down to the
util_avg of the root cfs_rq, which is the level that is used by
cpufreq governors like schedutil to set the frequency of a CPU.
The SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION flag forces an early call to cpufreq when
the migration happens in a cgroup whereas util_avg of root cfs_rq is
not yet updated and this call is duplicated with the one that happens
immediately after when the migration event reaches the root cfs_rq.
The dedicated flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION is now useless and can be
removed. The interface of attach_entity_load_avg() can also be
simplified accordingly.

commit bf475ce0a3dd ("sched/fair: Add per-CPU min capacity to
sched_group_capacity") introduced per-cpu min_capacity.
commit e3d6d0cb66f2 ("sched/fair: Add sched_group per-CPU max capacity")
introduced per-cpu max_capacity.
In the SD_OVERLAP case, the local variable 'capacity' represents the sum
of CPU capacity of all CPUs in the first sched group (sg) of the sched
domain (sd).
It is erroneously used to calculate sg's min and max CPU capacity.
To fix this use capacity_of(cpu) instead of 'capacity'.
The code which achieves this via cpu_rq(cpu)->sd->groups->sgc->capacity
(for rq->sd != NULL) can be removed since it delivers the same value as
capacity_of(cpu) which is currently only used for the (!rq->sd) case
(see update_cpu_capacity()).

Lengthy output of sysrq-t may take a lot of time on slow serial console
with lots of processes and CPUs.
So we need to reset NMI-watchdog to avoid spurious lockup messages, and
we also reset softlockup watchdogs on all other CPUs since another CPU
might be blocked waiting for us to process an IPI or stop_machine.

When a new cgroup is created, the effective uclamp value wasn't updated
with a call to cpu_util_update_eff() that looks at the hierarchy and
update to the most restrictive values.
Fix it by ensuring to call cpu_util_update_eff() when a new cgroup
becomes online.
Without this change, the newly created cgroup uses the default
root_task_group uclamp values, which is 1024 for both uclamp_{min, max},
which will cause the rq to to be clamped to max, hence cause the
system to run at max frequency.
The problem was observed on Ubuntu server and was reproduced on Debian
and Buildroot rootfs.
By default, Ubuntu and Debian create a cpu controller cgroup hierarchy
and add all tasks to it - which creates enough noise to keep the rq
uclamp value at max most of the time. Imitating this behavior makes the
problem visible in Buildroot too which otherwise looks fine since it's a
minimal userspace.

The fair scheduler performs periodic load balance on every CPU to check
if it can pull some tasks from other busy CPUs. The duration of this
periodic load balance is set to sd->balance_interval for the idle CPUs
and is calculated by multiplying the sd->balance_interval with the
sd->busy_factor (set to 32 by default) for the busy CPUs. The
multiplication is done for busy CPUs to avoid doing load balance too
often and rather spend more time executing actual task. While that is
the right thing to do for the CPUs busy with SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH
tasks, it may not be the optimal thing for CPUs running only SCHED_IDLE
tasks.
With the recent enhancements in the fair scheduler around SCHED_IDLE
CPUs, we now prefer to enqueue a newly-woken task to a SCHED_IDLE
CPU instead of other busy or idle CPUs. The same reasoning should be
applied to the load balancer as well to make it migrate tasks more
aggressively to a SCHED_IDLE CPU, as that will reduce the scheduling
latency of the migrated (SCHED_OTHER) tasks.
This patch makes minimal changes to the fair scheduler to do the next
load balance soon after the last non SCHED_IDLE task is dequeued from a
runqueue, i.e. making the CPU SCHED_IDLE. Also the sd->busy_factor is
ignored while calculating the balance_interval for such CPUs. This is
done to avoid delaying the periodic load balance by few hundred
milliseconds for SCHED_IDLE CPUs.
This is tested on ARM64 Hikey620 platform (octa-core) with the help of
rt-app and it is verified, using kernel traces, that the newly
SCHED_IDLE CPU does load balancing shortly after it becomes SCHED_IDLE
and pulls tasks from other busy CPUs.

Similarly to calculate_imbalance() and find_busiest_group(), using the
number of idle CPUs when there is only 1 CPU in the group is not efficient
because we can't make a difference between a CPU running 1 task and a CPU
running dozens of small tasks competing for the same CPU but not enough
to overload it. More generally speaking, we should use the number of
running tasks when there is the same number of idle CPUs in a group instead
of blindly select the 1st one.
When the groups have spare capacity and the same number of idle CPUs, we
compare the number of running tasks to select the busiest group.

Capacity Awareness refers to the fact that on heterogeneous systems
(like Arm big.LITTLE), the capacity of the CPUs is not uniform, hence
when placing tasks we need to be aware of this difference of CPU
capacities.
In such scenarios we want to ensure that the selected CPU has enough
capacity to meet the requirement of the running task. Enough capacity
means here that capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= task.requirement.
The definition of task.requirement is dependent on the scheduling class.
For CFS, utilization is used to select a CPU that has >= capacity value
than the cfs_task.util.
capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= cfs_task.util
DL isn't capacity aware at the moment but can make use of the bandwidth
reservation to implement that in a similar manner CFS uses utilization.
The following patchset implements that:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190506044836.2914-1-luca.abeni@santannapisa.it/
capacity_orig_of(cpu)/SCHED_CAPACITY >= dl_deadline/dl_runtime
For RT we don't have a per task utilization signal and we lack any
information in general about what performance requirement the RT task
needs. But with the introduction of uclamp, RT tasks can now control
that by setting uclamp_min to guarantee a minimum performance point.
ATM the uclamp value are only used for frequency selection; but on
heterogeneous systems this is not enough and we need to ensure that the
capacity of the CPU is >= uclamp_min. Which is what implemented here.
capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= rt_task.uclamp_min
Note that by default uclamp.min is 1024, which means that RT tasks will
always be biased towards the big CPUs, which make for a better more
predictable behavior for the default case.
Must stress that the bias acts as a hint rather than a definite
placement strategy. For example, if all big cores are busy executing
other RT tasks we can't guarantee that a new RT task will be placed
there.
On non-heterogeneous systems the original behavior of RT should be
retained. Similarly if uclamp is not selected in the config.

task_fits_capacity() has just been made uclamp-aware, and
find_energy_efficient_cpu() needs to go through the same treatment.
Things are somewhat different here however - using the task max clamp isn't
sufficient. Consider the following setup:
The target runqueue, rq:
rq.cpu_capacity_orig = 512
rq.cfs.avg.util_avg = 200
rq.uclamp.max = 768 // the max p.uclamp.max of all enqueued p's is 768
The waking task, p (not yet enqueued on rq):
p.util_est = 600
p.uclamp.max = 100
Now, consider the following code which doesn't use the rq clamps:
util = uclamp_task_util(p);
// Does the task fit in the spare CPU capacity?
cpu = cpu_of(rq);
fits_capacity(util, cpu_capacity(cpu) - cpu_util(cpu))
This would lead to:
util = 100;
fits_capacity(100, 512 - 200)
fits_capacity() would return true. However, enqueuing p on that CPU *will*
cause it to become overutilized since rq clamp values are max-aggregated,
so we'd remain with
rq.uclamp.max = 768
which comes from the other tasks already enqueued on rq. Thus, we could
select a high enough frequency to reach beyond 0.8 * 512 utilization
(== overutilized) after enqueuing p on rq. What find_energy_efficient_cpu()
needs here is uclamp_rq_util_with() which lets us peek at the future
utilization landscape, including rq-wide uclamp values.
Make find_energy_efficient_cpu() use uclamp_rq_util_with() for its
fits_capacity() check. This is in line with what compute_energy() ends up
using for estimating utilization.

task_fits_capacity() drives CPU selection at wakeup time, and is also used
to detect misfit tasks. Right now it does so by comparing task_util_est()
with a CPU's capacity, but doesn't take into account uclamp restrictions.
There's a few interesting uses that can come out of doing this. For
instance, a low uclamp.max value could prevent certain tasks from being
flagged as misfit tasks, so they could merrily remain on low-capacity CPUs.
Similarly, a high uclamp.min value would steer tasks towards high capacity
CPUs at wakeup (and, should that fail, later steered via misfit balancing),
so such "boosted" tasks would favor CPUs of higher capacity.
Introduce uclamp_task_util() and make task_fits_capacity() use it.

The current helper returns (CPU) rq utilization with uclamp restrictions
taken into account. A uclamp task utilization helper would be quite
helpful, but this requires some renaming.
Prepare the code for the introduction of a uclamp_task_util() by renaming
the existing uclamp_util_with() to uclamp_rq_util_with().

Vincent pointed out recently that the canonical type for utilization
values is 'unsigned long'. Internally uclamp uses 'unsigned int' values for
cache optimization, but this doesn't have to be exported to its users.
Make the uclamp helpers that deal with utilization use and return unsigned
long values.

The sole user of uclamp_util(), schedutil_cpu_util(), was made to use
uclamp_util_with() instead in commit:
af24bde8df20 ("sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute()")
From then on, uclamp_util() has remained unused. Being a simple wrapper
around uclamp_util_with(), we can get rid of it and win back a few lines.

There are instances where we keep searching for an idle CPU despite
already having a sched-idle CPU (in find_idlest_group_cpu(),
select_idle_smt() and select_idle_cpu() and then there are places where
we don't necessarily do that and return a sched-idle CPU as soon as we
find one (in select_idle_sibling()). This looks a bit inconsistent and
it may be worth having the same policy everywhere.
On the other hand, choosing a sched-idle CPU over a idle one shall be
beneficial from performance and power point of view as well, as we don't
need to get the CPU online from a deep idle state which wastes quite a
lot of time and energy and delays the scheduling of the newly woken up
task.
This patch tries to simplify code around sched-idle CPU selection and
make it consistent throughout.
Testing is done with the help of rt-app on hikey board (ARM64 octa-core,
2 clusters, 0-3 and 4-7). The cpufreq governor was set to performance to
avoid any side affects from CPU frequency. Following are the tests
performed:
Test 1: 1-cfs-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned to CPU5 which runs for 2333 us
out of 7777 us (so gives time for the cluster to go in deep idle
state).
Test 2: 1-cfs-1-idle-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and single SCHED_IDLE
task is pinned on CPU6 (to make sure cluster 1 doesn't go in deep idle
state).
Test 3: 1-cfs-8-idle-task:
A single SCHED_NORMAL task is pinned on CPU5 and eight SCHED_IDLE
tasks are created which run forever (not pinned anywhere, so they run
on all CPUs). Checked with kernelshark that as soon as NORMAL task
sleeps, the SCHED_IDLE task starts running on CPU5.
And here are the results on mean latency (in us), using the "st" tool.
$ st 1-cfs-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
642 90 592 197180 307.134 109.906
$ st 1-cfs-1-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
642 67 311 113850 177.336 41.4251
$ st 1-cfs-8-idle-task/rt-app-cfs_thread-0.log
N min max sum mean stddev
643 29 173 41364 64.3297 13.2344
The mean latency when we need to:
- wakeup from deep idle state is 307 us.
- wakeup from shallow idle state is 177 us.
- preempt a SCHED_IDLE task is 64 us.
