sched/rt: Fix rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning

2018-05-30T06:17:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit d29a20645d5e929aa7e8616f28e5d8e1c49263ec ]

While running rt-tests' pi_stress program I got the following splat:

  rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP
  WARNING: CPU: 27 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:960 assert_clock_updated.isra.38.part.39+0x13/0x20

  cpu_startup_entry+0x5f/0x70
  start_secondary+0x192/0x1d0
  secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0

We can get rid of it be the "traditional" means of adding an
update_rq_clock() call after acquiring the rq->lock in
do_sched_rt_period_timer().

The case for the RT task throttling (which this workload also hits)
can be ignored in that the skip_update call is actually bogus and
quite the contrary (the request bits are removed/reverted).

By setting RQCF_UPDATED we really don't care if the skip is happening
or not and will therefore make the assert_clock_updated() check happy.

cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid using invalid next_freq

2018-05-16T08:12:33+00:00

commit 97739501f207efe33145b918817f305b822987f8 upstream.

If the next_freq field of struct sugov_policy is set to UINT_MAX,
it shouldn't be used for updating the CPU frequency (this is a
special "invalid" value), but after commit b7eaf1aab9f8 (cpufreq:
schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely) it
may be passed as the new frequency to sugov_update_commit() in
sugov_update_single().

Fix that by adding an extra check for the special UINT_MAX value
of next_freq to sugov_update_single().

Fixes: b7eaf1aab9f8 (cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely)

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:

  formatting fixes"

sched/debug: Adjust newlines for better alignment

2018-03-20T08:30:09+00:00

Scheduler debug stats include newlines that display out of alignment
when prefixed by timestamps.  For example, the dmesg utility:

  % echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  % dmesg
  ...
  [   83.124251]
  runnable tasks:
   S           task   PID         tree-key  switches  prio     wait-time
  sum-exec        sum-sleep
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, some syslog utilities (like rsyslog by default) don't
like the additional newlines control characters, saving lines like this
to /var/log/messages:

  Mar 16 16:02:29 localhost kernel: #012runnable tasks:#012 S           task   PID         tree-key ...
                                    ^^^^               ^^^^
Clean these up by moving newline characters to their own SEQ_printf
invocation.  This leaves the /proc/sched_debug unchanged, but brings the
entire output into alignment when prefixed:

  % echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  % dmesg
  ...
  [   62.410368] runnable tasks:
  [   62.410368]  S           task   PID         tree-key  switches  prio     wait-time             sum-exec        sum-sleep
  [   62.410369] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and no escaped control characters from rsyslog in /var/log/messages:

  Mar 16 16:15:06 localhost kernel: runnable tasks:
  Mar 16 16:15:06 localhost kernel: S           task   PID         tree-key  ...

sched/debug: Fix per-task line continuation for console output

2018-03-20T08:30:09+00:00

When the SEQ_printf() macro prints to the console, it runs a simple
printk() without KERN_CONT "continued" line printing.  The result of
this is oddly wrapped task info, for example:

  % echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  % dmesg
  ...
  runnable tasks:
  ...
  [   29.608611]  I
  [   29.608613]       rcu_sched     8      3252.013846      4087   120
  [   29.608614]         0.000000        29.090111         0.000000
  [   29.608615]  0 0
  [   29.608616]  /

Modify SEQ_printf to use pr_cont() for expected one-line results:

  % echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  % dmesg
  ...
  runnable tasks:
  ...
  [  106.716329]  S        cpuhp/5    37      2006.315026        14   120         0.000000         0.496893         0.000000 0 0 /

sched/cpufreq: Remove unused SUGOV_KTHREAD_PRIORITY macro

2018-02-13T12:04:03+00:00

Since schedutil kernel thread directly set priority to 0, the macro
SUGOV_KTHREAD_PRIORITY is not used.  So remove it.

sched/core: Fix DEBUG_SPINLOCK annotation for rq->lock

2018-02-13T10:44:41+00:00

Mark noticed that he had sporadic "spinlock recursion" warnings from
the DEBUG_SPINLOCK code. Now rq->lock is special in that the owner
changes in the middle of a context switch.

It so happens that we fix up the lock.owner too late, @prev can run
(remotely) the moment prev->on_cpu is cleared, this then allows @prev
to again try and acquire this rq->lock and trigger this warning.

So we have to switch lock.owner before clearing prev->on_cpu.

Do this by moving the DEBUG_SPINLOCK annotation from after switch_to()
to before switch_to() and collect all lockdep annotations there into
prepare_lock_switch() to mirror the existing finish_lock_switch().
