<title>sched/fair: Add ancestors of unthrottled undecayed cfs_rq</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit a7b359fc6a37 ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to
list on unthrottle") we add cfs_rqs with no runnable tasks but not fully
decayed into the load (leaf) list. We may ignore adding some ancestors
and therefore breaking tmp_alone_branch invariant. This broke LTP test
cfs_bandwidth01 and it was partially fixed in commit fdaba61ef8a2
("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling").

I noticed the named test still fails even with the fix (but with low
probability, 1 in ~1000 executions of the test). The reason is when
bailing out of unthrottle_cfs_rq early, we may miss adding ancestors of
the unthrottled cfs_rq, thus, not joining tmp_alone_branch properly.

Fix this by adding ancestors if we notice the unthrottled cfs_rq was
added to the load list.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric
   scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks
   on AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs.

   Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their own
   task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will make
   sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it.

   (The actual arm64 specific changes are not part of this tree.)

   For other architectures there will be no change in functionality.

 - Add cgroup SCHED_IDLE support

 - Increase node-distance flexibility &amp; delay determining it until a CPU
   is brought online. (This enables platforms where node distance isn't
   final until the CPU is only.)

 - Deadline scheduler enhancements &amp; fixes

 - Misc fixes &amp; cleanups.

It's not actually used in the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED case:

  kernel/sched/fair.c:488:12: warning: ‘tg_is_idle’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

Keep around a placeholder nevertheless, for API completeness. Mark it inline,
so the compiler doesn't think it must be used.

This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups.

Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle.
 0: default behavior
 1: SCHED_IDLE

Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing
aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its
descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its
ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly.
Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight.

There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup
SCHED_IDLE interface:

  - The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to
    maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the
    cgroup, not the tasks themselves.

  - Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption
    decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken
    task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity.

A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a
non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs
the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs
other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing
matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be
improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the
perspective of a specific task).

For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches
may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities.

The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds
either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for
further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may
indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred
for preemption/placement/etc.

a target CPU that has already been checked by select_idle_sibling.

After select_idle_sibling, p-&gt;recent_used_cpu is set to the
new target. However on the next wakeup, prev will be the same as
recent_used_cpu unless the load balancer has moved the task since the
last wakeup. It still works, but is less efficient than it could be.
This patch preserves recent_used_cpu for longer.

The impact on SIS efficiency is tiny so the SIS statistic patches were
used to track the hit rate for using recent_used_cpu. With perf bench
pipe on a 2-socket Cascadelake machine, the hit rate went from 57.14%
to 85.32%. For more intensive wakeup loads like hackbench, the hit rate
is almost negligible but rose from 0.21% to 6.64%. For scaling loads
like tbench, the hit rate goes from almost 0% to 25.42% overall. Broadly
speaking, on tbench, the success rate is much higher for lower thread
counts and drops to almost 0 as the workload scales to towards saturation.

The time remaining until expiry of the refresh_timer can be negative.
Casting the type to an unsigned 64-bit value will cause integer
underflow, making the runtime_refresh_within return false instead of
true. These situations are rare, but they do happen.

This does not cause user-facing issues or errors; other than
possibly unthrottling cfs_rq's using runtime from the previous period(s),
making the CFS bandwidth enforcement less strict in those (special)
situations.

commit 9e077b52d86a ("sched/pelt: Check that *_avg are null when *_sum are")
reported some inconsitencies between *_avg and *_sum.

commit 1c35b07e6d39 ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")
fixed some but one remains when dequeuing load.

sync the cfs's load_sum with its load_avg after dequeuing the load of a
sched_entity.
