[ Upstream commit 2a4b03ffc69f2dedc6388e9a6438b5f4c133a40d ]

When a running task is moved on a throttled task group and there is no
other task enqueued on the CPU, the task can keep running using 100% CPU
whatever the allocated bandwidth for the group and although its cfs rq is
throttled. Furthermore, the group entity of the cfs_rq and its parents are
not enqueued but only set as curr on their respective cfs_rqs.

We have the following sequence:

sched_move_task
  -dequeue_task: dequeue task and group_entities.
  -put_prev_task: put task and group entities.
  -sched_change_group: move task to new group.
  -enqueue_task: enqueue only task but not group entities because cfs_rq is
    throttled.
  -set_next_task : set task and group_entities as current sched_entity of
    their cfs_rq.

Another impact is that the root cfs_rq runnable_load_avg at root rq stays
null because the group_entities are not enqueued. This situation will stay
the same until an "external" event triggers a reschedule. Let trigger it
immediately instead.

[ Upstream commit ebc0f83c78a2d26384401ecf2d2fa48063c0ee27 ]

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

Use the remote tick to ensure that full nohz cpus report their deltas
within a reasonable time.

The check to ensure that the new written value into cpu.uclamp.{min,max}

	# echo -1 &gt; cpu.uclamp.min
	# cat cpu.uclamp.min

Cast req.percent into u64 to force the comparison to be unsigned and
work as intended in capacity_from_percent().

<title>sched/uclamp: Fix a bug in propagating uclamp value in new cgroups</title>

commit 7226017ad37a888915628e59a84a2d1e57b40707 upstream.

When a new cgroup is created, the effective uclamp value wasn't updated
with a call to cpu_util_update_eff() that looks at the hierarchy and
update to the most restrictive values.

Fix it by ensuring to call cpu_util_update_eff() when a new cgroup
becomes online.

Without this change, the newly created cgroup uses the default
root_task_group uclamp values, which is 1024 for both uclamp_{min, max},
which will cause the rq to to be clamped to max, hence cause the
system to run at max frequency.

The problem was observed on Ubuntu server and was reproduced on Debian
and Buildroot rootfs.

By default, Ubuntu and Debian create a cpu controller cgroup hierarchy
and add all tasks to it - which creates enough noise to keep the rq
uclamp value at max most of the time. Imitating this behavior makes the
problem visible in Buildroot too which otherwise looks fine since it's a
minimal userspace.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Make kcpustat vtime aware (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Rework the CFS load_balance() logic (Vincent Guittot)

   - Misc cleanups, smaller enhancements, fixes.

  The load-balancing rework is the most intrusive change: it replaces
  the old heuristics that have become less meaningful after the
  introduction of the PELT metrics, with a grounds-up load-balancing
  algorithm.

  As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old
  load-balancing logic with the new one. We hope there are no
  performance regressions left - but statistically it's highly probable
  that there *is* going to be some workload that is hurting from these
  chnages. If so then we'd prefer to have a look at that workload and
  fix its scheduling, instead of reverting the changes"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A lot of stuff has been going on this cycle, with improving the
  support for networked IO (and hence unbounded request completion
  times) being one of the major themes. There's been a set of fixes done
  this week, I'll send those out as well once we're certain we're fully
  happy with them.

  This contains:

   - Unification of the "normal" submit path and the SQPOLL path (Pavel)

   - Support for sparse (and bigger) file sets, and updating of those
     file sets without needing to unregister/register again.

   - Independently sized CQ ring, instead of just making it always 2x
     the SQ ring size. This makes it more flexible for networked
     applications.

   - Support for overflowed CQ ring, never dropping events but providing
     backpressure on submits.

   - Add support for absolute timeouts, not just relative ones.

   - Support for generic cancellations. This divorces io_uring from
     workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
     generic async system call support.

   - With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
     as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
     calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
     built on top of that.

   - Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)

   - Support for linked timeouts. These abort an operation if it isn't
     completed by the time noted in the linke timeout.

   - Speedup tracking of poll requests

   - Various cleanups making the coder easier to follow (Jackie, Pavel,
     Bob, YueHaibing, me)

   - Update MAINTAINERS with new io_uring list"

* tag 'for-5.5/io_uring-20191121' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (64 commits)
  io_uring: make POLL_ADD/POLL_REMOVE scale better
  io-wq: remove now redundant struct io_wq_nulls_list
