We kill rq->rd on the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage:
cpuset_cpu_inactive -> cpuset_update_active_cpus -> partition_sched_domains ->
-> cpu_attach_domain -> rq_attach_root -> set_rq_offline
This unthrottles all throttled cfs_rqs.
But the cpu is still able to call schedule() till
take_cpu_down->__cpu_disable()
is called from stop_machine.
This case the tasks from just unthrottled cfs_rqs are pickable
in a standard scheduler way, and they are picked by dying cpu.
The cfs_rqs becomes throttled again, and migrate_tasks()
in migration_call skips their tasks (one more unthrottle
in migrate_tasks()->CPU_DYING does not happen, because rq->rd
is already NULL).
Patch sets runtime_enabled to zero. This guarantees, the runtime
is not accounted, and the cfs_rqs won't exceed given
cfs_rq->runtime_remaining = 1, and tasks will be pickable
in migrate_tasks(). runtime_enabled is recalculated again
when rq becomes online again.
Ben Segall also noticed, we always enable runtime in
tg_set_cfs_bandwidth(). Actually, we should do that for online
cpus only. To prevent races with unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs()
we take get_online_cpus() lock.

Reading through the scan period code and comment, it appears the
intent was to slow down NUMA scanning when a majority of accesses
are on the local node, specifically a local:remote ratio of 3:1.
However, the code actually tests local / (local + remote), and
the actual cut-off point was around 30% local accesses, well before
a task has actually converged on a node.
Changing the threshold to 7 means scanning slows down when a task
has around 70% of its accesses local, which appears to match the
intent of the code more closely.

Running "perf bench numa mem -0 -m -P 1000 -p 8 -t 20" on a 4
node system results in 160 runnable threads on a system with 80
CPU threads.
Once a process has nearly converged, with 39 threads on one node
and 1 thread on another node, the remaining thread will be unable
to migrate to its preferred node through a task swap.
However, a simple task move would make the workload converge,
witout causing an imbalance.
Test for this unlikely occurrence, and attempt a task move to

Without this patch, this same perf bench numa mem run had to
rely on the scheduler load balancer to first balance out the
load (moving a random task), before a task swap could complete
the NUMA convergence.
The load balancer does not normally take action unless the load
difference exceeds 25%. Convergence times of over half an hour
have been observed without this patch.
With this patch, the NUMA balancing code will simply migrate the
task, if that does not cause an imbalance.
Also skip examining a CPU in detail if the improvement on that CPU
is no more than the best we already have.

When CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled, the load that a task places
on a CPU is determined by the group the task is in. The active groups
on the source and destination CPU can be different, resulting in a
different load contribution by the same task at its source and at its
destination. As a result, the load needs to be calculated separately
for each CPU, instead of estimated once with task_h_load().
Getting this calculation right allows some workloads to converge,
where previously the last thread could get stuck on another node,
without being able to migrate to its final destination.

Currently the NUMA code scales the load on each node with the
amount of CPU power available on that node, but it does not
apply any adjustment to the load of the task that is being
moved over.
On systems with SMT/HT, this results in a task being weighed
much more heavily than a CPU core, and a task move that would
even out the load between nodes being disallowed.
The correct thing is to apply the power correction to the
numbers after we have first applied the move of the tasks'
loads to them.
This also allows us to do the power correction with a multiplication,
rather than a division.
Also drop two function arguments for load_too_unbalanced, since it
takes various factors from env already.

When a system is lightly loaded (i.e. no more than 1 job per cpu),
attempt to pull job to a cpu before putting it to idle is unnecessary and
can be skipped. This patch adds an indicator so the scheduler can know
when there's no more than 1 active job is on any CPU in the system to
skip needless job pulls.
On a 4 socket machine with a request/response kind of workload from
clients, we saw about 0.13 msec delay when we go through a full load
balance to try pull job from all the other cpus. While 0.1 msec was
spent on processing the request and generating a response, the 0.13 msec
load balance overhead was actually more than the actual work being done.
This overhead can be skipped much of the time for lightly loaded systems.
With this patch, we tested with a netperf request/response workload that
has the server busy with half the cpus in a 4 socket system. We found
the patch eliminated 75% of the load balance attempts before idling a cpu.
The overhead of setting/clearing the indicator is low as we already gather
the necessary info while we call add_nr_running() and update_sd_lb_stats.()
We switch to full load balance load immediately if any cpu got more than
one job on its run queue in add_nr_running. We'll clear the indicator
to avoid load balance when we detect no cpu's have more than one job
when we scan the work queues in update_sg_lb_stats(). We are aggressive
in turning on the load balance and opportunistic in skipping the load
balance.

distribute_cfs_runtime() intentionally only hands out enough runtime to
bring each cfs_rq to 1 ns of runtime, expecting the cfs_rqs to then take
the runtime they need only once they actually get to run. However, if
they get to run sufficiently quickly, the period timer is still in
distribute_cfs_runtime() and no runtime is available, causing them to
throttle. Then distribute has to handle them again, and this can go on
until distribute has handed out all of the runtime 1ns at a time, which
takes far too long.
Instead allow access to the same runtime that distribute is handing out,
accepting that corner cases with very low quota may be able to spend the
entire cfs_b->runtime during distribute_cfs_runtime, meaning that the
runtime directly handed out by distribute_cfs_runtime was over quota. In
addition, if a cfs_rq does manage to throttle like this, make sure the
existing distribute_cfs_runtime no longer loops over it again.

Commit ac1bea8578 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.
This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

The first thing task_numa_migrate() does is check to see if there is
CPU capacity available on the preferred node, in order to move the
task there.
However, if the preferred node is all busy, we would skip considering
that node for tasks swaps in the subsequent loop. This prevents NUMA
convergence of tasks on busy systems.
However, swapping locations with a task on our preferred nid, when
the preferred nid is busy, is perfectly fine.
The fix is to also look for a CPU on our preferred nid when it is
totally busy.
This changes "perf bench numa mem -p 4 -t 20 -m -0 -P 1000" from
not converging in 15 minutes on my 4 node system, to converging in
10-20 seconds.

A full dynticks CPU is allowed to stop its tick when a single task runs.
Meanwhile when a new task gets enqueued, the CPU must be notified so that
it can restart its tick to maintain local fairness and other accounting
details.
This notification is performed by way of an IPI. Then when the target
receives the IPI, we expect it to see the new value of rq->nr_running.
Hence the following ordering scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
write rq->running get IPI
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
send IPI read rq->nr_running
But Paul Mckenney says that nowadays IPIs imply a full barrier on
all architectures. So we can safely remove this pair and rely on the
implicit barriers that come along IPI send/receive. Lets
just comment on this new assumption.

When a new timer is enqueued on a full dynticks target, that CPU must
re-evaluate the next tick to handle the timer correctly.
This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this
happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make
it call irq_exit().
As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use
the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job
as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be
handy and readily available here.
If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still
turn that timer kick into an empty IPI.

This function is supposed to return true if the new load imbalance is
worse than the old one. It didn't. I can only hope brown paper bags
are in style.
Now things converge much better on both the 4 node and 8 node systems.
I am not sure why this did not seem to impact specjbb performance on the
4 node system, which is the system I have full-time access to.
This bug was introduced recently, with commit e63da03639 ("sched/numa:

[ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like
99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few.
The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a
reliable indication that the idle task is polling. Once that's done,
the rest is reasonably straightforward. ]
When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the
work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over.
However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we
don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it
up and have the 'idle' loop do the work.
So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet)
set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.

Currently, the only real guarantee provided by the polling bit is
that, if you hold rq->lock and the polling bit is set, then you can
set need_resched to force a reschedule.
The only reason the lock is needed is that the idle thread might not
be running at all when setting its need_resched bit, and rq->lock
keeps it pinned.
This is easy to fix: just clear the polling bit before scheduling.
Now the idle thread's polling bit is only ever set when
rq->curr == rq->idle.

This contains the architecture visible changes. Incidentally, only ARM
takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and
therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM
specific file. The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden
by anyone.
Replacements are as follows:
arch_scale_freq_power --> arch_scale_freq_capacity
arch_scale_smt_power --> arch_scale_smt_capacity
SCHED_POWER_SCALE --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
SCHED_POWER_SHIFT --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed
to "capacity" as appropriate.

The capacity of a CPU/group should be some intrinsic value that doesn't
change with task placement. It is like a container which capacity is
stable regardless of the amount of liquid in it (its "utilization")...
unless the container itself is crushed that is, but that's another story.
Therefore let's rename "has_capacity" to "has_free_capacity" in order to
better convey the wanted meaning.

The current no_hz idle load balancer do load balancing for *all* idle cpus,
even though the time due to load balance for a particular
idle cpu could be still a while in the future. This introduces a much
higher load balancing rate than what is necessary. The patch
changes the behavior by only doing idle load balancing on
behalf of an idle cpu only when it is due for load balancing.
On SGI's systems with over 3000 cores, the cpu responsible for idle balancing
got overwhelmed with idle balancing, and introduces a lot of OS noise
to workloads. This patch fixes the issue.

sched_cfs_period_timer() reads cfs_b->period without locks before calling
do_sched_cfs_period_timer(), and similarly unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs()
would read cfs_b->period without the right lock. Thus a simultaneous
change of bandwidth could cause corruption on any platform where ktime_t
or u64 writes/reads are not atomic.
Extend cfs_b->lock from do_sched_cfs_period_timer() to include the read of
cfs_b->period to solve that issue; unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() can just
use 1 rather than the exact quota, much like distribute_cfs_runtime()
does.
There is also an unlocked read of cfs_b->runtime_expires, but a race
there would only delay runtime expiry by a tick. Still, the comparison
should just be != anyway, which clarifies even that problem.

tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() sets cfs_b->timer_active to 0 to
force the period timer restart. It's not safe, because
can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccb:
"__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock,
waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer
runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take
rq->lock, resulting in deadlock."
Three CPUs must be involved:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
take rq->lock period timer fired
... take cfs_b lock
... ... tg_set_cfs_bandwidth()
throttle_cfs_rq() release cfs_b lock take cfs_b lock
... distribute_cfs_runtime() timer_active = 0
take cfs_b->lock wait for rq->lock ...
__start_cfs_bandwidth()
{wait for timer callback
break if timer_active == 1}
So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked.
Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can
wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and
restart the timer explicitly.

Throttled task is still on rq, and it may be moved to other cpu
if user is playing with sched_setaffinity(). Therefore, unlocked
task_rq() access makes the race.
Juri Lelli reports he got this race when dl_bandwidth_enabled()
was not set.
Other thing, pointed by Peter Zijlstra:
"Now I suppose the problem can still actually happen when
you change the root domain and trigger a effective affinity
change that way".
To fix that we do the same as made in __task_rq_lock(). We do not
use __task_rq_lock() itself, because it has a useful lockdep check,
which is not correct in case of dl_task_timer(). We do not need
pi_lock locked here. This case is an exception (PeterZ):
"The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because
we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are
thus free of ttwu races".

timer_delete_hook(timer);
kc->timer_del(timer) := posix_cpu_timer_del()
put_task_struct()
__put_task_struct()
task_numa_free()
spin_lock(&grp->lock);
Which means that task_numa_free() can be called with interrupts
disabled, which means that we should not be using spin_lock_irq() but

so it can be reused by needed subsystems.
This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

Affine wakeups have the potential to interfere with NUMA placement.
If a task wakes up too many other tasks, affine wakeups will get
disabled.
However, regardless of how many other tasks it wakes up, it gets
re-enabled once a second, potentially interfering with NUMA
placement of other tasks.
By decaying wakee_wakes in half instead of zeroing it, we can avoid
that problem for some workloads.

Update the migrate_improves/degrades_locality() functions with
knowledge of pseudo-interleaving.
Do not consider moving tasks around within the set of group's active
nodes as improving or degrading locality. Instead, leave the load
balancer free to balance the load between a numa_group's active nodes.
Also, switch from the group/task_weight functions to the group/task_fault
functions. The "weight" functions involve a division, but both calls use
the same divisor, so there's no point in doing that from these functions.
On a 4 node (x10 core) system, performance of SPECjbb2005 seems
unaffected, though the number of migrations with 2 8-warehouse wide
instances seems to have almost halved, due to the scheduler running
each instance on a single node.

Currently the NUMA balancing code only allows moving tasks between NUMA
nodes when the load on both nodes is in balance. This breaks down when
the load was imbalanced to begin with.
Allow tasks to be moved between NUMA nodes if the imbalance is small,
or if the new imbalance is be smaller than the original one.

If the sched_clock time starts at a large value, the kernel will spin
in sched_avg_update for a long time while rq->age_stamp catches up
with rq->clock.
The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise
that it starts at zero. So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up
to avoid this.
I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at
zero. This might also be an issue on reboots on processors that don't
re-initialize the timer to zero on reset, and when using kexec.

Currently, in idle_balance(), we update rq->next_balance when we pull_tasks.
However, it is also important to update this in the !pulled_tasks case too.
When the CPU is "busy" (the CPU isn't idle), rq->next_balance gets computed
using sd->busy_factor (so we increase the balance interval when the CPU is
busy). However, when the CPU goes idle, rq->next_balance could still be set
to a large value that was computed with the sd->busy_factor.
Thus, we need to also update rq->next_balance in idle_balance() in the cases
where !pulled_tasks too, so that rq->next_balance gets updated without taking
the busy_factor into account when the CPU is about to go idle.
This patch makes rq->next_balance get updated independently of whether or
not we pulled_task. Also, we add logic to ensure that we always traverse
at least 1 of the sched domains to get a proper next_balance value for
updating rq->next_balance.
Additionally, since load_balance() modifies the sd->balance_interval, we
need to re-obtain the sched domain's interval after the call to
load_balance() in rebalance_domains() before we update rq->next_balance.
This patch adds and uses 2 new helper functions, update_next_balance() and
get_sd_balance_interval() to update next_balance and obtain the sched
domain's balance_interval.

Jet Chen has reported a kernel panics when booting qemu-system-x86_64 with
kvm64 cpu. A panic occured while building the sched_domain.
In sched_init_numa, we create a new topology table in which both default
levels and numa levels are copied. The last row of the table must have a null
pointer in the mask field.
The current implementation doesn't add this last row in the computation of the
table size. So we add 1 row in the allocation size that will be used as the
last row of the table. The kzalloc will ensure that the mask field is NULL.

On smaller systems, the top level sched domain will be an affine
domain, and select_idle_sibling is invoked for every SD_WAKE_AFFINE
wakeup. This seems to be working well.
On larger systems, with the node distance between far away NUMA nodes
being > RECLAIM_DISTANCE, select_idle_sibling is only called if the
waker and the wakee are on nodes less than RECLAIM_DISTANCE apart.
This patch leaves in place the policy of not pulling the task across
nodes on such systems, while fixing the issue that select_idle_sibling
is not called at all in certain circumstances.
The code will look for an idle CPU in the same CPU package as the
CPU where the task ran previously.

migrated since the it last ran, then exec_start is a clock_task from

Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations
with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns)
can cause a system freeze for some amount of time.
The problem is that in the interface we have
u64 sched_runtime;
while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with
budget overruns)
s64 runtime;
At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in
the second. The cast turns out with negative values when
sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy
right from the start.
Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound
(s64)(a - b) < 0
we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}.
This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always
below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone).
It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in
__checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds
and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between
values is too big.

The documented[1] behavior of sched_attr() in the proposed man page text is:
sched_attr::size must be set to the size of the structure, as in
sizeof(struct sched_attr), if the provided structure is smaller
than the kernel structure, any additional fields are assumed
'0'. If the provided structure is larger than the kernel structure,
the kernel verifies all additional fields are '0' if not the
syscall will fail with -E2BIG.
As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for
for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that
error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no
other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU
CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states. Fortunately,
every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state.
Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight
for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption,
and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well.
This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes
cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call
rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations.
This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of
RCU grace periods.

Because mwait_idle_with_hints() gets called from !idle context it must
call current_clr_polling(). This however means that resched_task() is
very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling:
CPU0 CPU1
if (current_set_polling_and_test())
goto out;
__monitor(&ti->flags);
if (!need_resched())
__mwait(eax, ecx);
set_tsk_need_resched(p);
smp_mb();
out:
current_clr_polling();
if (!tsk_is_polling(p))
smp_send_reschedule(cpu);
So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed
IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some).
Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED
and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set.
Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word,
contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly
succeed in a single go.

It was found that when running some workloads (such as AIM7) on large
systems with many cores, CPUs do not remain idle for long. Thus, tasks
can wake/get enqueued while doing idle balancing.
In this patch, while traversing the domains in idle balance, in
addition to checking for pulled_task, we add an extra check for
this_rq->nr_running for determining if we should stop searching for
tasks to pull. If there are runnable tasks on this rq, then we will
stop traversing the domains. This reduces the chance that idle balance
delays a task from running.
This patch resulted in approximately a 6% performance improvement when
running a Java Server workload on an 8 socket machine.

A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is created to reflect whether groups of CPUs
in a sched_domain level can or not reach different power state. As an example,
the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated
independently. This information can be used in the load balance decision or to
add load balancing level between group of CPUs that can power gate
independantly.
This flag is part of the topology flags that can be set by arch.

We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method
which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed).
We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform
that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can
be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load
balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags
configuration of some levels.
For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu,
a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags
that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology
flags are:
SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
SD_NUMA
SD_ASYM_PACKING
Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the
sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU
and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for
load balancing than its children.

Setting the numa_preferred_node for a task in task_numa_migrate
does nothing on a 2-node system. Either we migrate to the node
that already was our preferred node, or we stay where we were.
On a 4-node system, it can slightly decrease overhead, by not
calling the NUMA code as much. Since every node tends to be
directly connected to every other node, running on the wrong
node for a while does not do much damage.
However, on an 8 node system, there are far more bad nodes
than there are good ones, and pretending that a second choice
is actually the preferred node can greatly delay, or even
prevent, a workload from converging.
The only time we can safely pretend that a second choice
node is the preferred node is when the task is part of a
workload that spans multiple NUMA nodes.

The NUMA code is smart enough to distribute the memory of workloads
that span multiple NUMA nodes across those NUMA nodes.
However, it still has a pretty high scan rate for such workloads,
because any memory that is left on a node other than the node of
the CPU that faulted on the memory is counted as non-local, which
causes the scan rate to go up.
Counting the memory on any node where the task's numa group is
actively running as local, allows the scan rate to slow down
once the application is settled in.
This should reduce the overhead of the automatic NUMA placement
code, when a workload spans multiple NUMA nodes.

"The current code will call pick_next_task_fair a second time in the

really unnecessary as we already know no task can be pulled and it
doubles the delay for the cpu to enter idle.
We instrumented some network workloads and that saw that
pick_next_task_fair is frequently called twice before a cpu enters
idle. The call to pick_next_task_fair can add non trivial latency as
it calls load_balance which runs find_busiest_group on an hierarchy of
sched domains spanning the cpus for a large system. For some 4 socket
systems, we saw almost 0.25 msec spent per call of pick_next_task_fair
before a cpu can be idled."

yield_task_dl() is broken:
o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero;
o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer()
will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time.
Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning:
if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new)
goto unlock;
So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually
yielded forever.
To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded
the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing
at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between
"good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled)
and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be
stopped.

Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to:
for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++)
irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq);
It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle
functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying
attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cefa ("sched:
Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat")
So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at
once.
As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context
wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these
back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all
kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does
not make sense at all for fine grained accounting. Frederic, can you

Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes
blacklist at kernel build time.
The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
placed after the function definition:
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function);
Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline
functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro
for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller.
When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function
address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section.
Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the
macro (because there is no "size" information), those
are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.
Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.
So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().
This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.
This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.
Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":
"[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
be removed in the 2.5 development series".
We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.
Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.
There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through

There are only two users of get_nohz_timer_target(): timer and hrtimer. Both
call it under same circumstances, i.e.
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
if (!pinned && get_sysctl_timer_migration() && idle_cpu(this_cpu))
return get_nohz_timer_target();
#endif
So, it makes more sense to get all this as part of get_nohz_timer_target()
instead of duplicating code at two places. For this another parameter is
required to be passed to this routine, pinned.

When update_rq_clock_task() accounts the pending steal time for a task,
it converts the steal delta from nsecs to tick then from tick to nsecs.
There is no apparent good reason for doing that though because both
the task clock and the prev steal delta are u64 and store values
in nsecs.
So lets remove the needless conversion.

The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on
jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t
is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in
jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a
value in nsecs.
As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would
be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs.
As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two
guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and
same CPU.
In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to
cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API.
Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have
a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted
value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

I decided to run my tests on linux-next, and my wakeup_rt tracer was
broken. After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was:
linux-next commit c365c292d0
"sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()"
And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had
no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with
sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER
priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found:
- p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
- p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
With no
+ p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
+ p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio
can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the
p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the
task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority.
The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called,
otherwise the class wont be changed.
Also added fix to newprio to include a check for deadline policy that
was missing. This change was suggested by Juri Lelli.

1) Single cpu machine case.
When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked
because of throttling, we enter in endless loop.
pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL.
In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry
if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running)
return RETRY_TASK;
(rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes
throttled).
No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here,
because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are
disabled.
2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock
rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled.
The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT
classes instead of checking for sum.

The problems:
1) We check for rt_nr_running before call of put_prev_task().
If previous task is RT, its rt_rq may become throttled
and dequeued after this call.
In case of p is from rt->rq this just causes picking a task
from throttled queue, but in case of its rt_rq is child
we are guaranteed catch BUG_ON.
2) The same with deadline class. The only difference we operate
on only dl_rq.
This patch fixes all the above problems and it adds a small skip in the
DL update like we've already done for RT class:
if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0))
return;
This will optimize sequential update_curr_dl() calls a little.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable/enable() in sched_clock_cpu().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are

Michael spotted that the idle_balance() push down created a task
priority problem.
Previously, when we called idle_balance() before pick_next_task() it
wasn't a problem when -- because of the rq->lock droppage -- an rt/dl
task slipped in.
Similarly for pre_schedule(), rt pre-schedule could have a dl task
slip in.
But by pulling it into the pick_next_task() loop, we'll not try a
higher task priority again.
Cure this by creating a re-start condition in pick_next_task(); and
triggering this from pick_next_task_{rt,fair}().
It also fixes a live-lock where we get stuck in pick_next_task_fair()
due to idle_balance() seeing !0 nr_running but there not actually
being any fair tasks about.

maintain the runnable avg of a rq in the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED case.
This patch guards struct sched_avg of struct rq and
update_rq_runnable_avg() with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
There is an extra empty definition for update_rq_runnable_avg()
necessary for the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_SMP case.
The function print_cfs_group_stats() which prints out struct sched_avg
of struct rq is already guarded with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

Kirill Tkhai noted:
Since deadline tasks share rt bandwidth, we must care about
bandwidth timer set. Otherwise rt_time may grow up to infinity
in update_curr_dl(), if there are no other available RT tasks
on top level bandwidth.
RT task were in fact throttled right after they got enqueued,
and never executed again (rt_time never again went below rt_runtime).
Peter then proposed to accrue DL execution on rt_time only when
rt timer is active, and proposed a patch (this patch is a slight
modification of that) to implement that behavior. While this
solves Kirill problem, it has a drawback.
Indeed, Kirill noted again:
It looks we may get into a situation, when all CPU time is shared
between RT and DL tasks:
rt_runtime = n
rt_period = 2n
| RT working, DL sleeping | DL working, RT sleeping |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (repeat)
|--------------------------|------------------------------|
| (rt_bw timer is running) | (rt_bw timer is not running) |
No time for fair tasks at all.
While this can happen during the first period, if rq is always backlogged,
RT tasks won't have the opportunity to execute anymore: rt_time reached
rt_runtime during (1), suppose after (2) RT is enqueued back, it gets
throttled since rt timer didn't fire, replenishment is from now on eaten up
by DL tasks that accrue their execution on rt_time (while rt timer is
active - we have an RT task waiting for replenishment). FAIR tasks are
not touched after this first period. Ok, this is not ideal, and the situation
is even worse!
What above (the nice case), practically never happens in reality, where
your rt timer is not aligned to tasks periods, tasks are in general not
periodic, etc.. Long story short, you always risk to overload your system.
This patch is based on Peter's idea, but exploits an additional fact:
if you don't have RT tasks enqueued, it makes little sense to continue
incrementing rt_time once you reached the upper limit (DL tasks have their
own mechanism for throttling).
This cures both problems:
- no matter how many DL instances in the past, you'll have an rt_time
slightly above rt_runtime when an RT task is enqueued, and from that
point on (after the first replenishment), the task will normally execute;
- you can still eat up all bandwidth during the first period, but not
anymore after that, remember that DL execution will increment rt_time
till the upper limit is reached.
The situation is still not perfect! But, we have a simple solution for now,
that limits how much you can jeopardize your system, as we keep working
towards the right answer: RT groups scheduled using deadline servers.

dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0
which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met.
If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without
schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be
incorrectly adjusted twice.
In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing
past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of
CPU time.
This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of
!se->on_rq.

The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the
properties of this function, especially when compared to
smp_call_function_single().
The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main
point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd
in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the
purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously.
As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature
comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the
IPIs on this csd.
Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect
these properties.

The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send
an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object,
a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete
as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such,
sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled.
This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to
synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a
single csd are serialized.
This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this
usecase is relevant.
Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be
covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look
at the two possible scenario:
1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded
in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first
sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily.
But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd
can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1)
and the object can be passed an the IPI argument.
Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone
because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs
for this csd.
2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that
is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single()
can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the
stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone.
Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1
is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more
simple.
There was a single user of that which has just been converted.
So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler()
call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the
runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective
boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the
priority bucket list.
If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we
just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the
scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the
task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the
effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

The following scenario does not work correctly:
Runqueue of CPUx contains two runnable and pinned tasks:
T1: SCHED_FIFO, prio 80
T2: SCHED_FIFO, prio 80
T1 is on the cpu and executes the following syscalls (classic priority
ceiling scenario):
sys_sched_setscheduler(pid(T1), SCHED_FIFO, .prio = 90);
...
sys_sched_setscheduler(pid(T1), SCHED_FIFO, .prio = 80);
...
Now T1 gets preempted by T3 (SCHED_FIFO, prio 95). After T3 goes back
to sleep the scheduler picks T2. Surprise!
The same happens w/o actual preemption when T1 is forced into the
scheduler due to a sporadic NEED_RESCHED event. The scheduler invokes
pick_next_task() which returns T2. So T1 gets preempted and scheduled
out.
This happens because sched_setscheduler() dequeues T1 from the prio 90
list and then enqueues it on the tail of the prio 80 list behind T2.
This violates the POSIX spec and surprises user space which relies on
the guarantee that SCHED_FIFO tasks are not scheduled out unless they
give the CPU up voluntarily or are preempted by a higher priority
task. In the latter case the preempted task must get back on the CPU
after the preempting task schedules out again.
We fixed a similar issue already in commit 60db48c (sched: Queue a
deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue). The same treatment
is necessary for sched_setscheduler(). So enqueue to head of the prio
bucket list if the priority of the task is lowered.
It might be possible that existing user space relies on the current
behaviour, but it can be considered highly unlikely due to the corner
case nature of the application scenario.

We stumbled in RT over a SMP bringup issue on ARM where the
idle->on_rq == 0 was causing try_to_wakeup() on the other cpu to run
into nada land.
After adding that idle->on_rq = 1; I was able to find the root cause
of the lockup: the idle task on the newly woken up cpu was fiddling
with a sleeping spinlock, which is a nono.
I kept the init of idle->on_rq to keep the state consistent and to
avoid another long lasting debug session.
As a side note, the whole debug mess could have been avoided if
might_sleep() would have yelled when called from the idle task. That's
fixed with patch 2/6 - and that one actually has a changelog :)

Kirill also spotted that migrate_tasks() will have an instant NULL
deref because pick_next_task() will immediately deref prev.
Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can
pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide
a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far
more common paths.
A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed
pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to
avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU.
We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1.
We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of
times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in
idle_balance().

While debugging the crash with the bad nr_running accounting, I hit
another bug where, after running my sched deadline test, I was getting
failures to take a CPU offline. It was giving me a -EBUSY error.
Adding a bunch of trace_printk()s around, I found that the cpu
notifier that called sched_cpu_inactive() was returning a failure. The
overflow value was coming up negative?
Talking this over with Juri, the problem is that the total_bw update was
suppose to be made by dl_overflow() which, during my tests, seemed to
not be called. Adding more trace_printk()s, it wasn't that it wasn't
called, but it exited out right away with the check of new_bw being
equal to p->dl.dl_bw. The new_bw calculates the ratio between period and
runtime. The bug is that if you set a deadline, you do not need to set
a period if you plan on the period being equal to the deadline. That
is, if period is zero and deadline is not, then the system call should
set the period to be equal to the deadline. This is done elsewhere in
the code.
The fix is easy, check if period is set, and if it is not, then use the
deadline.

My test suite was locking up hard when enabling mmiotracer. This was due
to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out
when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug
test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and
would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The
stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash
at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again.
I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent
reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches,
and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched
deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me
to what the bug was.
All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU
hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run
of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self
test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The
deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to
fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work
(there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause
problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup
hard.
I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box,
and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently
lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem,
but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the
stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard.
After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The
function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite
loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I
added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and
never decrementing!
Looking at the deadline code I found:
static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl);
dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p);
}
static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
update_curr_dl(rq);
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags);
dec_nr_running(rq);
}
And this:
if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) {
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0);
if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted)))
dl_se->dl_throttled = 1;
else
enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl))
resched_task(curr);
}
Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we
call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has
underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl()
calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is
where we get nr_running out of sync.
[snip]
Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer
fires:
dl_se->dl_throttled = 0;
if (p->on_rq) {
enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr))
check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0);
else
resched_task(rq->curr);
This patch does two things:
- correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered
!running);
- fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(),
since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a
task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

The finish_arch_post_lock_switch is called at the end of the task
switch after all locks have been released. In concept it is paired
with the switch_mm function, but the current code only does the
call in finish_task_switch. Add the call to idle_task_exit and
use_mm. One use case for the additional calls is s390 which will
use finish_arch_post_lock_switch to wait for the completion of
TLB flush operations.

If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching
css. The intention of the interface is to make it easy to skip css's
(cgroup_subsys_states) which already match the migration target;
however, this is entirely unnecessary as migration taskset doesn't
include tasks which are already in the target cgroup. Drop @skip_css
from cgroup_taskset_for_each().

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection. Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.
* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.
* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().
* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users
which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
removed.
v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.
v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and
pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs
functions with NULL kn leading to oops. Test for NULL kn and
print "/" if so. This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu.
v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

Integration of cpuidle with the scheduler requires that the idle loop be
closely integrated with the scheduler proper. Moving cpu/idle.c into the
sched directory will allow for a smoother integration, and eliminate a
subdirectory which contained only one source file.

This patch both merged idle_balance() and pre_schedule() and pushes
both of them into pick_next_task().
Conceptually pre_schedule() and idle_balance() are rather similar,
both are used to pull more work onto the current CPU.
We cannot however first move idle_balance() into pre_schedule_fair()
since there is no guarantee the last runnable task is a fair task, and
thus we would miss newidle balances.
Similarly, the dl and rt pre_schedule calls must be ran before
idle_balance() since their respective tasks have higher priority and
it would not do to delay their execution searching for less important
tasks first.
However, by noticing that pick_next_tasks() already traverses the
sched_class hierarchy in the right order, we can get the right
behaviour and do away with both calls.
We must however change the special case optimization to also require
that prev is of sched_class_fair, otherwise we can miss doing a dl or
rt pull where we needed one.

Since commit 2f36825b1 ("sched: Next buddy hint on sleep and preempt
path") it is likely we pick a new task from the same cgroup, doing a put
and then set on all intermediate entities is a waste of time, so try to
avoid this.
Measured using:
mount nodev /cgroup -t cgroup -o cpu
cd /cgroup
mkdir a; cd a
mkdir b; cd b
mkdir c; cd c
echo $$ > tasks
perf stat --repeat 10 -- taskset 1 perf bench sched pipe
PRE : 4.542422684 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.33% )
POST: 4.389409991 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.32% )

Track depth in cgroup tree, this is useful for things like

Keeping the depth avoids having to calculate it on the spot, which

idle_balance() modifies the rq->idle_stamp field, making this information
shared across core.c and fair.c.
As we know if the cpu is going to idle or not with the previous patch, let's
encapsulate the rq->idle_stamp information in core.c by moving it up to the
caller.
The idle_balance() function returns true in case a balancing occured and the
cpu won't be idle, false if no balance happened and the cpu is going idle.

The scheduler main function 'schedule()' checks if there are no more tasks
on the runqueue. Then it checks if a task should be pulled in the current
runqueue in idle_balance() assuming it will go to idle otherwise.
But idle_balance() releases the rq->lock in order to look up the sched
domains and takes the lock again right after. That opens a window where
another cpu may put a task in our runqueue, so we won't go to idle but
we have filled the idle_stamp, thinking we will.
This patch closes the window by checking if the runqueue has been modified
but without pulling a task after taking the lock again, so we won't go to idle
right after in the __schedule() function.

As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes
the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement
task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more.
This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function,
saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.
