sched/smt: Expose sched_smt_present static key

2018-12-05T18:32:02+00:00

commit 321a874a7ef85655e93b3206d0f36b4a6097f948 upstream

Make the scheduler's 'sched_smt_present' static key globaly available, so
it can be used in the x86 speculation control code.

Provide a query function and a stub for the CONFIG_SMP=n case.

sched/smt: Make sched_smt_present track topology

2018-12-05T18:32:02+00:00

commit c5511d03ec090980732e929c318a7a6374b5550e upstream

Currently the 'sched_smt_present' static key is enabled when at CPU bringup
SMT topology is observed, but it is never disabled. However there is demand
to also disable the key when the topology changes such that there is no SMT
present anymore.

Implement this by making the key count the number of cores that have SMT
enabled.

In particular, the SMT topology bits are set before interrrupts are enabled
and similarly, are cleared after interrupts are disabled for the last time
and the CPU dies.

sched/fair: Fix cpu_util_wake() for 'execl' type workloads

2018-12-01T08:37:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit c469933e772132aad040bd6a2adc8edf9ad6f825 ]

A ~10% regression has been reported for UnixBench's execl throughput
test by Aaron Lu and Ye Xiaolong:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/30/765

That test is pretty simple, it does a "recursive" execve() syscall on the
same binary. Starting from the syscall, this sequence is possible:

   do_execve()
     do_execveat_common()
       __do_execve_file()
         sched_exec()
           select_task_rq_fair()          <==| Task already enqueued
             find_idlest_cpu()
               find_idlest_group()
                 capacity_spare_wake()    <==| Functions not called from
		   cpu_util_wake()           | the wakeup path

which means we can end up calling cpu_util_wake() not only from the
"wakeup path", as its name would suggest. Indeed, the task doing an
execve() syscall is already enqueued on the CPU we want to get the
cpu_util_wake() for.

The estimated utilization for a CPU computed in cpu_util_wake() was
written under the assumption that function can be called only from the
wakeup path. If instead the task is already enqueued, we end up with a
utilization which does not remove the current task's contribution from
the estimated utilization of the CPU.
This will wrongly assume a reduced spare capacity on the current CPU and
increase the chances to migrate the task on execve.

The regression is tracked down to:

 commit d519329f72a6 ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")

because in that patch we turn on by default the UTIL_EST sched feature.
However, the real issue is introduced by:

 commit f9be3e5961c5 ("sched/fair: Use util_est in LB and WU paths")

Let's fix this by ensuring to always discount the task estimated
utilization from the CPU's estimated utilization when the task is also
the current one. The same benchmark of the bug report, executed on a
dual socket 40 CPUs Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz machine,
reports these "Execl Throughput" figures (higher the better):

   mainline     : 48136.5 lps
   mainline+fix : 55376.5 lps

which correspond to a 15% speedup.

Moreover, since {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_wake() are not really only
used from the wakeup path, let's remove this ambiguity by using a better
matching name: {cpu_util,capacity_spare}_without().

Since we are at that, let's also improve the existing documentation.

sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()

2018-11-27T15:13:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 40fa3780bac2b654edf23f6b13f4e2dd550aea10 ]

When running on linux-next (8c60c36d0b8c ("Add linux-next specific files
for 20181019")) + CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y on a big.LITTLE system (e.g.
Juno or HiKey960), we get the following report:

 [    0.748225] Call trace:
 [    0.750685]  lockdep_assert_cpus_held+0x30/0x40

 [    0.776685]  kernel_init+0x10/0x108
 [    0.780190]  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

The static_key in question is 'sched_asym_cpucapacity' introduced by
commit:

  df054e8445a4 ("sched/topology: Add static_key for asymmetric CPU capacity optimizations")

In this particular case, we enable it because smp_prepare_cpus() will
end up fetching the capacity-dmips-mhz entry from the devicetree,
so we already have some asymmetry detected when entering sched_init_smp().

This didn't get detected in tip/sched/core because we were missing:

  commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations")

Calls to build_sched_domains() post sched_init_smp() will hold the
hotplug lock, it just so happens that this very first call is a
special case. As stated by a comment in sched_init_smp(), "There's no
userspace yet to cause hotplug operations" so this is a harmless
warning.

However, to both respect the semantics of underlying
callees and make lockdep happy, take the hotplug lock in
sched_init_smp(). This also satisfies the comment atop
sched_init_domains() that says "Callers must hold the hotplug lock".

sched/fair: Fix the min_vruntime update logic in dequeue_entity()

2018-10-16T07:36:01+00:00

The comment and the code around the update_min_vruntime() call in
dequeue_entity() are not in agreement.

From commit:

  b60205c7c558 ("sched/fair: Fix min_vruntime tracking")

I think that we want to update min_vruntime when a task is sleeping/migrating.
So, the check is inverted there - fix it.

sched/fair: Fix throttle_list starvation with low CFS quota

2018-10-11T11:10:18+00:00

With a very low cpu.cfs_quota_us setting, such as the minimum of 1000,
distribute_cfs_runtime may not empty the throttled_list before it runs
out of runtime to distribute. In that case, due to the change from
c06f04c7048 to put throttled entries at the head of the list, later entries
on the list will starve.  Essentially, the same X processes will get pulled
off the list, given CPU time and then, when expired, get put back on the
head of the list where distribute_cfs_runtime will give runtime to the same
set of processes leaving the rest.

Fix the issue by setting a bit in struct cfs_bandwidth when
distribute_cfs_runtime is running, so that the code in throttle_cfs_rq can
decide to put the throttled entry on the tail or the head of the list.  The
bit is set/cleared by the callers of distribute_cfs_runtime while they hold
cfs_bandwidth->lock.

This is easy to reproduce with a handful of CPU consumers. I use 'crash' on
the live system. In some cases you can simply look at the throttled list and
see the later entries are not changing:

  crash> list cfs_rq.throttled_list -H 0xffff90b54f6ade40 -s cfs_rq.runtime_remaining | paste - - | awk '{print $1"  "$4}' | pr -t -n3
    1     ffff90b56cb2d200  -976050

   11     ffff90b166a40a00  -164582

  crash> list cfs_rq.throttled_list -H 0xffff90b54f6ade40 -s cfs_rq.runtime_remaining | paste - - | awk '{print $1"  "$4}' | pr -t -n3
    1     ffff90b56cb2d200  -994147
    2     ffff90b56cb2cc00  -306051
    3     ffff90b56cb2bc00  -961321

   11     ffff90b166a40a00  -164582

Sometimes it is easier to see by finding a process getting starved and looking
at the sched_info:

  crash> task ffff8eb765994500 sched_info
  PID: 7800   TASK: ffff8eb765994500  CPU: 16  COMMAND: "cputest"
    sched_info = {
      pcount = 8,
      run_delay = 697094208,
      last_arrival = 240260125039,
      last_queued = 240260327513
    },
  crash> task ffff8eb765994500 sched_info
  PID: 7800   TASK: ffff8eb765994500  CPU: 16  COMMAND: "cputest"
    sched_info = {
      pcount = 8,
      run_delay = 697094208,
      last_arrival = 240260125039,

sched/numa: Migrate pages to local nodes quicker early in the lifetime of a task

2018-10-02T09:31:33+00:00

Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page
should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging
if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently.

Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the
parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than
a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be
load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay
before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private
pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter
as an identifier of new tasks.

With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though
processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed
a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads
are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process.

sched/numa: Limit the conditions where scan period is reset

2018-10-02T07:42:24+00:00

migrate_task_rq_fair() resets the scan rate for NUMA balancing on every
cross-node migration. In the event of excessive load balancing due to
saturation, this may result in the scan rate being pegged at maximum and
further overloading the machine.

This patch only resets the scan if NUMA balancing is active, a preferred
node has been selected and the task is being migrated from the preferred
node as these are the most harmful. For example, a migration to the preferred
node does not justify a faster scan rate. Similarly, a migration between two
nodes that are not preferred is probably bouncing due to over-saturation of
the machine.  In that case, scanning faster and trapping more NUMA faults
will further overload the machine.

sched/numa: Reset scan rate whenever task moves across nodes

2018-10-02T07:42:23+00:00

Currently task scan rate is reset when NUMA balancer migrates the task
to a different node. If NUMA balancer initiates a swap, reset is only
applicable to the task that initiates the swap. Similarly no scan rate
reset is done if the task is migrated across nodes by traditional load
balancer.

Instead move the scan reset to the migrate_task_rq. This ensures the
task moved out of its preferred node, either gets back to its preferred
node quickly or finds a new preferred node. Doing so, would be fair to
all tasks migrating across nodes.
