41f1aed56d smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async prototype
commit 1139aeb1c521eb4a050920ce6c64c36c4f2a3ab7 upstream.

As of commit 966a967116 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct
call_single_data"), the smp code prefers 32-byte aligned call_single_data
objects for performance reasons, but the block layer includes an instance
of this structure in the main 'struct request' that is more senstive
to size than to performance here, see 4ccafe0320 ("block: unalign
call_single_data in struct request").

The result is a violation of the calling conventions that clang correctly
points out:

block/blk-mq.c:630:39: warning: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
                smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, &rq->csd);

It does seem that the usage of the call_single_data without cache line
alignment should still be allowed by the smp code, so just change the
function prototype so it accepts both, but leave the default alignment
unchanged for the other users. This seems better to me than adding
a local hack to shut up an otherwise correct warning in the caller.

94f1bdf01b sched/debug: Fix cgroup_path[] serialization
[ Upstream commit ad789f84c9a145f8a18744c0387cec22ec51651e ]

The handling of sysrq key can be activated by echoing the key to
/proc/sysrq-trigger or via the magic key sequence typed into a terminal
that is connected to the system in some way (serial, USB or other mean).
In the former case, the handling is done in a user context. In the
latter case, it is likely to be in an interrupt context.

Currently in print_cpu() of kernel/sched/debug.c, sched_debug_lock is
taken with interrupt disabled for the whole duration of the calls to
print_*_stats() and print_rq() which could last for the quite some time
if the information dump happens on the serial console.

If the system has many cpus and the sched_debug_lock is somehow busy
(e.g. parallel sysrq-t), the system may hit a hard lockup panic
depending on the actually serial console implementation of the
system.

The purpose of sched_debug_lock is to serialize the use of the global
cgroup_path[] buffer in print_cpu(). The rests of the printk calls don't
need serialization from sched_debug_lock.

Calling printk() with interrupt disabled can still be problematic if
multiple instances are running. Allocating a stack buffer of PATH_MAX
bytes is not feasible because of the limited size of the kernel stack.

The solution implemented in this patch is to allow only one caller at a
time to use the full size group_path[], while other simultaneous callers
will have to use shorter stack buffers with the possibility of path
name truncation. A "..." suffix will be printed if truncation may have
happened.  The cgroup path name is provided for informational purpose
only, so occasional path name truncation should not be a big problem.

80862cbf76 sched/fair: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in load_balance()
[ Upstream commit 39a2a6eb5c9b66ea7c8055026303b3aa681b49a5 ]

Syzbot reported a handful of occurrences where an sd->nr_balance_failed can
grow to much higher values than one would expect.

A successful load_balance() resets it to 0; a failed one increments
it. Once it gets to sd->cache_nice_tries + 3, this *should* trigger an
active balance, which will either set it to sd->cache_nice_tries+1 or reset
it to 0. However, in case the to-be-active-balanced task is not allowed to
run on env->dst_cpu, then the increment is done without any further
modification.

This could then be repeated ad nauseam, and would explain the absurdly high
values reported by syzbot (86, 149). VincentG noted there is value in
letting sd->cache_nice_tries grow, so the shift itself should be
fixed. That means preventing:

  """
  If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal
  to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined.
  """

Thus we need to cap the shift exponent to
  BITS_PER_TYPE(typeof(lefthand)) - 1.

I had a look around for other similar cases via coccinelle:

  @expr@
  position pos;
  expression E1;
  expression E2;
  @@
  (
  E1 >> E2@pos
  |
  E1 >> E2@pos
  )

  @cst depends on expr@
  position pos;
  expression expr.E1;
  constant cst;
  @@
  (
  E1 >> cst@pos
  |
  E1 << cst@pos
  )

  @script:python depends on !cst@
  pos << expr.pos;
  exp << expr.E2;
  @@
  # Dirty hack to ignore constexpr
  if exp.upper() != exp:
     coccilib.report.print_report(pos[0], "Possible UB shift here")

The only other match in kernel/sched is rq_clock_thermal() which employs
sched_thermal_decay_shift, and that exponent is already capped to 10, so
that one is fine.

a15f68a5d5 sched,psi: Handle potential task count underflow bugs more gracefully
[ Upstream commit 9d10a13d1e4c349b76f1c675a874a7f981d6d3b4 ]

psi_group_cpu->tasks, represented by the unsigned int, stores the
number of tasks that could be stalled on a psi resource(io/mem/cpu).
Decrementing these counters at zero leads to wrapping which further
leads to the psi_group_cpu->state_mask is being set with the
respective pressure state. This could result into the unnecessary time
sampling for the pressure state thus cause the spurious psi events.
This can further lead to wrong actions being taken at the user land
based on these psi events.

Though psi_bug is set under these conditions but that just for debug
purpose. Fix it by decrementing the ->tasks count only when it is
non-zero.

ae7fe4794d sched,fair: Alternative sched_slice()
[ Upstream commit 0c2de3f054a59f15e01804b75a04355c48de628c ]

The current sched_slice() seems to have issues; there's two possible
things that could be improved:

 - the 'nr_running' used for __sched_period() is daft when cgroups are
   considered. Using the RQ wide h_nr_running seems like a much more
   consistent number.

 - (esp) cgroups can slice it real fine, which makes for easy
   over-scheduling, ensure min_gran is what the name says.

2f5f4cce49 sched/fair: Ignore percpu threads for imbalance pulls
[ Upstream commit 9bcb959d05eeb564dfc9cac13a59843a4fb2edf2 ]

During load balance, LBF_SOME_PINNED will be set if any candidate task
cannot be detached due to CPU affinity constraints. This can result in
setting env->sd->parent->sgc->group_imbalance, which can lead to a group
being classified as group_imbalanced (rather than any of the other, lower
group_type) when balancing at a higher level.

In workloads involving a single task per CPU, LBF_SOME_PINNED can often be
set due to per-CPU kthreads being the only other runnable tasks on any
given rq. This results in changing the group classification during
load-balance at higher levels when in reality there is nothing that can be
done for this affinity constraint: per-CPU kthreads, as the name implies,
don't get to move around (modulo hotplug shenanigans).

It's not as clear for userspace tasks - a task could be in an N-CPU cpuset
with N-1 offline CPUs, making it an "accidental" per-CPU task rather than
an intended one. KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU gives us an indisputable signal which
we can leverage here to not set LBF_SOME_PINNED.

Note that the aforementioned classification to group_imbalance (when
nothing can be done) is especially problematic on big.LITTLE systems, which
have a topology the likes of:

  DIE [          ]
  MC  [    ][    ]
       0  1  2  3
       L  L  B  B

  arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) < arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B)

Here, setting LBF_SOME_PINNED due to a per-CPU kthread when balancing at MC
level on CPUs [0-1] will subsequently prevent CPUs [2-3] from classifying
the [0-1] group as group_misfit_task when balancing at DIE level. Thus, if
CPUs [0-1] are running CPU-bound (misfit) tasks, ill-timed per-CPU kthreads
can significantly delay the upgmigration of said misfit tasks. Systems
relying on ASYM_PACKING are likely to face similar issues.

661af9371c sched/pelt: Fix task util_est update filtering
[ Upstream commit b89997aa88f0b07d8a6414c908af75062103b8c9 ]

Being called for each dequeue, util_est reduces the number of its updates
by filtering out when the EWMA signal is different from the task util_avg
by less than 1%. It is a problem for a sudden util_avg ramp-up. Due to the
decay from a previous high util_avg, EWMA might now be close enough to
the new util_avg. No update would then happen while it would leave
ue.enqueued with an out-of-date value.

Taking into consideration the two util_est members, EWMA and enqueued for
the filtering, ensures, for both, an up-to-date value.

This is for now an issue only for the trace probe that might return the
stale value. Functional-wise, it isn't a problem, as the value is always
accessed through max(enqueued, ewma).

This problem has been observed using LISA's UtilConvergence:test_means on
the sd845c board.

No regression observed with Hackbench on sd845c and Perf-bench sched pipe
on hikey/hikey960.

9a68fa0ebb sched/features: Fix hrtick reprogramming
[ Upstream commit 156ec6f42b8d300dbbf382738ff35c8bad8f4c3a ]

Hung tasks and RCU stall cases were reported on systems which were not
100% busy. Investigation of such unexpected cases (no sign of potential
starvation caused by tasks hogging the system) pointed out that the
periodic sched tick timer wasn't serviced anymore after a certain point
and that caused all machinery that depends on it (timers, RCU, etc.) to
stop working as well. This issues was however only reproducible if
HRTICK was enabled.

Looking at core dumps it was found that the rbtree of the hrtimer base
used also for the hrtick was corrupted (i.e. next as seen from the base
root and actual leftmost obtained by traversing the tree are different).
Same base is also used for periodic tick hrtimer, which might get "lost"
if the rbtree gets corrupted.

Much alike what described in commit 1f71addd34 ("tick/sched: Do not
mess with an enqueued hrtimer") there is a race window between
hrtimer_set_expires() in hrtick_start and hrtimer_start_expires() in
__hrtick_restart() in which the former might be operating on an already
queued hrtick hrtimer, which might lead to corruption of the base.

Use hrtick_start() (which removes the timer before enqueuing it back) to
ensure hrtick hrtimer reprogramming is entirely guarded by the base
lock, so that no race conditions can occur.

6816509065 sched/core: Allow try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() with irqs disabled
commit 1b7af295541d75535374325fd617944534853919 upstream.

The try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() function currently requires
that interrupts be enabled, but it is called with interrupts
disabled from rcu_print_task_stall(), resulting in an "IRQs not
enabled as expected" diagnostic.  This commit therefore updates
try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() to use raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead
of raw_spin_lock_irq(), thus allowing use from either context.

e713bdd791 rcu/nocb: Perform deferred wake up before last idle's need_resched() check
commit 43789ef3f7d61aa7bed0cb2764e588fc990c30ef upstream.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.

Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

91e10f2ad1 sched/eas: Don't update misfit status if the task is pinned
[ Upstream commit 0ae78eec8aa64e645866e75005162603a77a0f49 ]

If the task is pinned to a cpu, setting the misfit status means that
we'll unnecessarily continuously attempt to migrate the task but fail.

This continuous failure will cause the balance_interval to increase to
a high value, and eventually cause unnecessary significant delays in
balancing the system when real imbalance happens.

Caught while testing uclamp where rt-app calibration loop was pinned to
cpu 0, shortly after which we spawn another task with high util_clamp
value. The task was failing to migrate after over 40ms of runtime due to
balance_interval unnecessary expanded to a very high value from the
calibration loop.

Not done here, but it could be useful to extend the check for pinning to
verify that the affinity of the task has a cpu that fits. We could end
up in a similar situation otherwise.

e830af503c sched/fair: Avoid stale CPU util_est value for schedutil in task dequeue
[ Upstream commit 8c1f560c1ea3f19e22ba356f62680d9d449c9ec2 ]

CPU (root cfs_rq) estimated utilization (util_est) is currently used in
dequeue_task_fair() to drive frequency selection before it is updated.

with:

CPU_util        : rq->cfs.avg.util_avg
CPU_util_est    : rq->cfs.avg.util_est
CPU_utilization : max(CPU_util, CPU_util_est)
task_util       : p->se.avg.util_avg
task_util_est   : p->se.avg.util_est

dequeue_task_fair():

    /* (1) CPU_util and task_util update + inform schedutil about
           CPU_utilization changes */
    for_each_sched_entity() /* 2 loops */
        (dequeue_entity() ->) update_load_avg() -> cfs_rq_util_change()
         -> cpufreq_update_util() ->...-> sugov_update_[shared\|single]
         -> sugov_get_util() -> cpu_util_cfs()

    /* (2) CPU_util_est and task_util_est update */
    util_est_dequeue()

cpu_util_cfs() uses CPU_utilization which could lead to a false (too
high) utilization value for schedutil in task ramp-down or ramp-up
scenarios during task dequeue.

To mitigate the issue split the util_est update (2) into:

 (A) CPU_util_est update in util_est_dequeue()
 (B) task_util_est update in util_est_update()

Place (A) before (1) and keep (B) where (2) is. The latter is necessary
since (B) relies on task_util update in (1).

bandwidth:

  sched_rt_handler()
    -->	sched_dl_bandwidth_validate()
	{
		new_bw = global_rt_runtime()/global_rt_period();

			dl_b = dl_bw_of(cpu);
			if (new_bw < dl_b->total_bw)    <-------
				ret = -EBUSY;
		}
	}

But under CONFIG_SMP, dl_bw is per root domain , but not per CPU,
dl_b->total_bw is the allocated bandwidth of the whole root domain.
Instead, we should compare dl_b->total_bw against "cpus*new_bw",
where 'cpus' is the number of CPUs of the root domain.

Also, below annotation(in kernel/sched/sched.h) implied implementation
only appeared in SCHED_DEADLINE v2[1], then deadline scheduler kept
evolving till got merged(v9), but the annotation remains unchanged,
meaningless and misleading, update it.

* With respect to SMP, the bandwidth is given on a per-CPU basis,
* meaning that:
*  - dl_bw (< 100%) is the bandwidth of the system (group) on each CPU;
*  - dl_total_bw array contains, in the i-eth element, the currently
*    allocated bandwidth on the i-eth CPU.

e45cdc71d1 membarrier: Execute SYNC_CORE on the calling thread
membarrier()'s MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE is documented as
syncing the core on all sibling threads but not necessarily the calling
thread.  This behavior is fundamentally buggy and cannot be used safely.

Suppose a user program has two threads.  Thread A is on CPU 0 and thread B
is on CPU 1.  Thread A modifies some text and calls
membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE).

Then thread B executes the modified code.  If, at any point after
membarrier() decides which CPUs to target, thread A could be preempted and
replaced by thread B on CPU 0.  This could even happen on exit from the
membarrier() syscall.  If this happens, thread B will end up running on CPU
0 without having synced.

In principle, this could be fixed by arranging for the scheduler to issue
sync_core_before_usermode() whenever switching between two threads in the
same mm if there is any possibility of a concurrent membarrier() call, but
this would have considerable overhead.  Instead, make membarrier() sync the
calling CPU as well.

As an optimization, this avoids an extra smp_mb() in the default
barrier-only mode and an extra rseq preempt on the caller.

758c9373d8 membarrier: Explicitly sync remote cores when SYNC_CORE is requested
membarrier() does not explicitly sync_core() remote CPUs; instead, it
relies on the assumption that an IPI will result in a core sync.  On x86,
this may be true in practice, but it's not architecturally reliable.  In
particular, the SDM and APM do not appear to guarantee that interrupt
delivery is serializing.  While IRET does serialize, IPI return can
schedule, thereby switching to another task in the same mm that was
sleeping in a syscall.  The new task could then SYSRET back to usermode
without ever executing IRET.

Make this more robust by explicitly calling sync_core_before_usermode()
on remote cores.  (This also helps people who search the kernel tree for
instances of sync_core() and sync_core_before_usermode() -- one might be
surprised that the core membarrier code doesn't currently show up in a
such a search.)

2ecedd7569 membarrier: Add an actual barrier before rseq_preempt()
It seems that most RSEQ membarrier users will expect any stores done before
the membarrier() syscall to be visible to the target task(s).  While this
is extremely likely to be true in practice, nothing actually guarantees it
by a strict reading of the x86 manuals.  Rather than providing this
guarantee by accident and potentially causing a problem down the road, just
add an explicit barrier.

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:

 So the execution order of locking steps are the following
 (N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
 are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)

 Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:

 N1              N2               D1
 |               |                |
 |               |                |
 Lock(M1)        |                |
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M2)           |
 |               |                |
 |               |              Lock(M2)
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M1)           |
 |             (!!bug triggered!) |

Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).

Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().

Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

b4c9c9f156 sched/fair: Prefer prev cpu in asymmetric wakeup path
During fast wakeup path, scheduler always check whether local or prev
cpus are good candidates for the task before looking for other cpus in
the domain. With commit b7a331615d ("sched/fair: Add asymmetric CPU
capacity wakeup scan") the heterogenous system gains a dedicated path
but doesn't try to reuse prev cpu whenever possible. If the previous
cpu is idle and belong to the LLC domain, we should check it 1st
before looking for another cpu because it stays one of the best
candidate and this also stabilizes task placement on the system.

This change aligns asymmetric path behavior with symmetric one and reduces

16b0a7a1a0 sched/fair: Ensure tasks spreading in LLC during LB
schbench shows latency increase for 95 percentile above since:
  commit 0b0695f2b3 ("sched/fair: Rework load_balance()")

Align the behavior of the load balancer with the wake up path, which tries
to select an idle CPU which belongs to the LLC for a waking task.

calculate_imbalance() will use nr_running instead of the spare
capacity when CPUs share resources (ie cache) at the domain level. This
will ensure a better spread of tasks on idle CPUs.

Running schbench on a hikey (8cores arm64) shows the problem:

23a881852f cpufreq: schedutil: Don't skip freq update if need_freq_update is set
The cpufreq policy's frequency limits (min/max) can get changed at any
point of time, while schedutil is trying to update the next frequency.
Though the schedutil governor has necessary locking and support in place
to make sure we don't miss any of those updates, there is a corner case
where the governor will find that the CPU is already running at the
desired frequency and so may skip an update.

For example, consider that the CPU can run at 1 GHz, 1.2 GHz and 1.4 GHz
and is running at 1 GHz currently. Schedutil tries to update the
frequency to 1.2 GHz, during this time the policy limits get changed as
policy->min = 1.4 GHz. As schedutil (and cpufreq core) does clamp the
frequency at various instances, we will eventually set the frequency to
1.4 GHz, while we will save 1.2 GHz in sg_policy->next_freq.

Now lets say the policy limits get changed back at this time with
policy->min as 1 GHz. The next time schedutil is invoked by the
scheduler, we will reevaluate the next frequency (because
need_freq_update will get set due to limits change event) and lets say
we want to set the frequency to 1.2 GHz again. At this point
sugov_update_next_freq() will find the next_freq == current_freq and
will abort the update, while the CPU actually runs at 1.4 GHz.

Until now need_freq_update was used as a flag to indicate that the
policy's frequency limits have changed, and that we should consider the
new limits while reevaluating the next frequency.

This patch fixes the above mentioned issue by extending the purpose of
the need_freq_update flag. If this flag is set now, the schedutil
governor will not try to abort a frequency change even if next_freq ==
current_freq.

As similar behavior is required in the case of
CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag as well, need_freq_update will never be
set to false if that flag is set for the driver.

We also don't need to consider the need_freq_update flag in
sugov_update_single() anymore to handle the special case of busy CPU, as
we won't abort a frequency update anymore.

d1e7c2996e cpufreq: schedutil: Always call driver if CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS is set
Because sugov_update_next_freq() may skip a frequency update even if
the need_freq_update flag has been set for the policy at hand, policy
limits updates may not take effect as expected.

For example, if the intel_pstate driver operates in the passive mode
with HWP enabled, it needs to update the HWP min and max limits when
the policy min and max limits change, respectively, but that may not
happen if the target frequency does not change along with the limit
at hand.  In particular, if the policy min is changed first, causing
the target frequency to be adjusted to it, and the policy max limit
is changed later to the same value, the HWP max limit will not be
updated to follow it as expected, because the target frequency is
still equal to the policy min limit and it will not change until
that limit is updated.

To address this issue, modify get_next_freq() to let the driver
callback run if the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS cpufreq driver flag
is set regardless of whether or not the new frequency to set is
equal to the previous one.

0070ea2962 cpufreq: schedutil: restore cached freq when next_f is not changed
We have the raw cached freq to reduce the chance in calling cpufreq
driver where it could be costly in some arch/SoC.

Currently, the raw cached freq is reset in sugov_update_single() when
it avoids frequency reduction (which is not desirable sometimes), but
it is better to restore the previous value of it in that case,
because it may not change in the next cycle and it is not necessary
to change the CPU frequency then.

91989c7078 task_work: cleanup notification modes
A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.

Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:

- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
  notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
  that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
  notification.

Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.

For the latter echoing changes to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features has

but without actually changing the scheduler behaviour (since different

In the following commit:

a zero-length array cpumask[0] has been replaced with cpumask[].
But there is still a cpumask[0] in 'struct sched_group_capacity'
which was missed.

The point of using [] instead of [0] is that with [] the compiler will
generate a build warning if it isn't the last member of a struct.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These rework the collection of cpufreq statistics to allow it to take
  place if fast frequency switching is enabled in the governor, rework
  the frequency invariance handling in the cpufreq core and drivers, add
  new hardware support to a couple of cpufreq drivers, fix a number of
  assorted issues and clean up the code all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework cpufreq statistics collection to allow it to take place when
     fast frequency switching is enabled in the governor (Viresh Kumar).

   - Make the cpufreq core set the frequency scale on behalf of the
     driver and update several cpufreq drivers accordingly (Ionela
     Voinescu, Valentin Schneider).

   - Add new hardware support to the STI and qcom cpufreq drivers and
     improve them (Alain Volmat, Manivannan Sadhasivam).

   - Fix multiple assorted issues in cpufreq drivers (Jon Hunter,
     Krzysztof Kozlowski, Matthias Kaehlcke, Pali Rohár, Stephan
     Gerhold, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix several assorted issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework (Stephan Gerhold, Viresh Kumar).

   - Allow devfreq drivers to fetch devfreq instances by DT enumeration
     instead of using explicit phandles and modify the devfreq core code
     to support driver-specific devfreq DT bindings (Leonard Crestez,
     Chanwoo Choi).

   - Improve initial hardware resetting in the tegra30 devfreq driver
     and clean up the tegra cpuidle driver (Dmitry Osipenko).

   - Update the cpuidle core to collect state entry rejection statistics
     and expose them via sysfs (Lina Iyer).

   - Improve the ACPI _CST code handling diagnostics (Chen Yu).

   - Update the PSCI cpuidle driver to allow the PM domain
     initialization to occur in the OSI mode as well as in the PC mode
     (Ulf Hansson).

   - Rework the generic power domains (genpd) core code to allow domain
     power off transition to be aborted in the absence of the "power
     off" domain callback (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix two suspend-to-idle issues in the ACPI EC driver (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Fix the handling of timer_expires in the PM-runtime framework on
     32-bit systems and the handling of device links in it (Grygorii
     Strashko, Xiang Chen).

   - Add IO requests batching support to the hibernate image saving and
     reading code and drop a bogus get_gendisk() from there (Xiaoyi
     Chen, Christoph Hellwig).

   - Allow PCIe ports to be put into the D3cold power state if they are
     power-manageable via ACPI (Lukas Wunner).

   - Add missing header file include to a power capping driver (Pujin
     Shi).

   - Clean up the qcom-cpr AVS driver a bit (Liu Shixin).

   - Kevin Hilman steps down as designated reviwer of adaptive voltage
     scaling (AVS) drivers (Kevin Hilman)"

feff2e65ef sched/deadline: Unthrottle PI boosted threads while enqueuing
stress-ng has a test (stress-ng --cyclic) that creates a set of threads
under SCHED_DEADLINE with the following parameters:

    dl_runtime   =  10000 (10 us)
    dl_deadline  = 100000 (100 us)
    dl_period    = 100000 (100 us)

These parameters are very aggressive. When using a system without HRTICK
set, these threads can easily execute longer than the dl_runtime because
the throttling happens with 1/HZ resolution.

During the main part of the test, the system works just fine because
the workload does not try to run over the 10 us. The problem happens at
the end of the test, on the exit() path. During exit(), the threads need
to do some cleanups that require real-time mutex locks, mainly those
related to memory management, resulting in this scenario:

Note: locks are rt_mutexes...
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TASK A:		TASK B:				TASK C:
    activation
							activation
			activation

    lock(a): OK!	lock(b): OK!
    			<overrun runtime>
    			lock(a)
    			-> block (task A owns it)
			  -> self notice/set throttled
 +--<			  -> arm replenished timer
 |    			switch-out
 |    							lock(b)
 |    							-> <C prio > B prio>
 |    							-> boost TASK B
 |  unlock(a)						switch-out
 |  -> handle lock a to B
 |    -> wakeup(B)
 |      -> B is throttled:
 |        -> do not enqueue
 |     switch-out
 |
 |
 +---------------------> replenishment timer
			-> TASK B is boosted:
			  -> do not enqueue
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOOM: TASK B is runnable but !enqueued, holding TASK C: the system
crashes with hung task C.

This problem is avoided by removing the throttle state from the boosted
thread while boosting it (by TASK A in the example above), allowing it to
be queued and run boosted.

The next replenishment will take care of the runtime overrun, pushing
the deadline further away. See the "while (dl_se->runtime <= 0)" on
replenish_dl_entity() for more information.

9abb897345 sched/fair: Tweak pick_next_entity()
Currently, pick_next_entity(...) has the following structure
(simplified):

  [...]
  if (last_buddy_ok())
    result = last_buddy;
  if (next_buddy_ok())
    result = next_buddy;
  [...]

The intended behavior is to prefer next buddy over last buddy;
the current code somewhat obfuscates this, and also wastes
cycles checking the last buddy when eventually the next buddy is
picked up.

So this patch refactors two 'ifs' above into

  [...]
  if (next_buddy_ok())
      result = next_buddy;
  else if (last_buddy_ok())
      result = last_buddy;

2a36ab717e rseq/membarrier: Add MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ
This patchset is based on Google-internal RSEQ work done by Paul
Turner and Andrew Hunter.

When working with per-CPU RSEQ-based memory allocations, it is
sometimes important to make sure that a global memory location is no
longer accessed from RSEQ critical sections. For example, there can be
two per-CPU lists, one is "active" and accessed per-CPU, while another
one is inactive and worked on asynchronously "off CPU" (e.g.  garbage
collection is performed). Then at some point the two lists are
swapped, and a fast RCU-like mechanism is required to make sure that
the previously active list is no longer accessed.

This patch introduces such a mechanism: in short, membarrier() syscall
issues an IPI to a CPU, restarting a potentially active RSEQ critical
section on the CPU.

233e7aca4c sched/fair: Use dst group while checking imbalance for NUMA balancer
Barry Song noted the following

	Something is wrong. In find_busiest_group(), we are checking if
	src has higher load, however, in task_numa_find_cpu(), we are
	checking if dst will have higher load after balancing. It seems
	it is not sensible to check src.

	It maybe cause wrong imbalance value, for example,

	if dst_running = env->dst_stats.nr_running + 1 results in 3 or
	above, and src_running = env->src_stats.nr_running - 1 results
	in 1;

	The current code is thinking imbalance as 0 since src_running is
	smaller than 2.  This is inconsistent with load balancer.

Basically, in find_busiest_group(), the NUMA imbalance is ignored if moving
a task "from an almost idle domain" to a "domain with spare capacity". This
patch forbids movement "from a misplaced domain" to "an almost idle domain"
as that is closer to what the CPU load balancer expects.

This patch is not a universal win. The old behaviour was intended to allow
a task from an almost idle NUMA node to migrate to its preferred node if
the destination had capacity but there are corner cases.  For example,
a NAS compute load could be parallelised to use 1/3rd of available CPUs
but not all those potential tasks are active at all times allowing this
logic to trigger. An obvious example is specjbb 2005 running various
numbers of warehouses on a 2 socket box with 80 cpus.

The performance at the mid-point is better but not universally better. The
patch is a mixed bag depending on the workload, machine and overall
levels of utilisation. Sometimes it's better (sometimes much better),
other times it is worse (sometimes much worse). Given that there isn't a
universally good decision in this section and more people seem to prefer
the patch then it may be best to keep the LB decisions consistent and
revisit imbalance handling when the load balancer code changes settle down.

Jirka Hladky added the following observation.

	Our results are mostly in line with what you see. We observe
	big gains (20-50%) when the system is loaded to 1/3 of the
	maximum capacity and mixed results at the full load - some
	workloads benefit from the patch at the full load, others not,
	but performance changes at the full load are mostly within the
	noise of results (+/-5%). Overall, we think this patch is helpful.

6e7499135d sched/fair: Reduce busy load balance interval
The busy_factor, which increases load balance interval when a cpu is busy,
is set to 32 by default. This value generates some huge LB interval on
large system like the THX2 made of 2 node x 28 cores x 4 threads.
For such system, the interval increases from 112ms to 3584ms at MC level.
And from 228ms to 7168ms at NUMA level.

Even on smaller system, a lower busy factor has shown improvement on the
fair distribution of the running time so let reduce it for all.

e4d32e4d54 sched/fair: Minimize concurrent LBs between domain level
sched domains tend to trigger simultaneously the load balance loop but
the larger domains often need more time to collect statistics. This
slowness makes the larger domain trying to detach tasks from a rq whereas
tasks already migrated somewhere else at a sub-domain level. This is not
a real problem for idle LB because the period of smaller domains will
increase with its CPUs being busy and this will let time for higher ones
to pulled tasks. But this becomes a problem when all CPUs are already busy
because all domains stay synced when they trigger their LB.

A simple way to minimize simultaneous LB of all domains is to decrement the
the busy interval by 1 jiffies. Because of the busy_factor, the interval of
larger domain will not be a multiple of smaller ones anymore.

2208cdaa56 sched/fair: Reduce minimal imbalance threshold
The 25% default imbalance threshold for DIE and NUMA domain is large
enough to generate significant unfairness between threads. A typical
example is the case of 11 threads running on 2x4 CPUs. The imbalance of
20% between the 2 groups of 4 cores is just low enough to not trigger
the load balance between the 2 groups. We will have always the same 6
threads on one group of 4 CPUs and the other 5 threads on the other
group of CPUS. With a fair time sharing in each group, we ends up with
+20% running time for the group of 5 threads.

Consider decreasing the imbalance threshold for overloaded case where we
use the load to balance task and to ensure fair time sharing.
