[ Upstream commit 39f23ce07b9355d05a64ae303ce20d1c4b92b957 ]

Although not exactly identical, unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair()
are quite close and follow the same sequence for enqueuing an entity in the
cfs hierarchy. Modify unthrottle_cfs_rq() to use the same pattern as
enqueue_task_fair(). This fixes a problem already faced with the latter and
add an optimization in the last for_each_sched_entity loop.

<title>sched/fair: Fix overutilized update in enqueue_task_fair()</title>

commit 8e1ac4299a6e8726de42310d9c1379f188140c71 upstream.

enqueue_task_fair() attempts to skip the overutilized update for new
tasks as their util_avg is not accurate yet. However, the flag we check
to do so is overwritten earlier on in the function, which makes the
condition pretty much a nop.

Fix this by saving the flag early on.

made sched features static for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG configurations, but
overlooked the CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL cases.

For the latter echoing changes to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features has
the nasty effect of effectively changing what sched_features reports,
but without actually changing the scheduler behaviour (since different
translation units get different sysctl_sched_features).

Fix CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL configurations by properly
restructuring ifdefs.

[ Upstream commit df3cb4ea1fb63ff326488efd671ba3c39034255e ]

We've met problems that occasionally tasks with full cpumask
(e.g. by putting it into a cpuset or setting to full affinity)
were migrated to our isolated cpus in production environment.

After some analysis, we found that it is due to the current
select_idle_smt() not considering the sched_domain mask.

Steps to reproduce on my 31-CPU hyperthreads machine:
1. with boot parameter: "isolcpus=domain,2-31"
   (thread lists: 0,16 and 1,17)
2. cgcreate -g cpu:test; cgexec -g cpu:test "test_threads"
3. some threads will be migrated to the isolated cpu16~17.

Fix it by checking the valid domain mask in select_idle_smt().

<title>sched/fair: Eliminate bandwidth race between throttling and distribution</title>

[ Upstream commit e98fa02c4f2ea4991dae422ac7e34d102d2f0599 ]

There is a race window in which an entity begins throttling before quota
is added to the pool, but does not finish throttling until after we have
finished with distribute_cfs_runtime(). This entity is not observed by
distribute_cfs_runtime() because it was not on the throttled list at the
time that distribution was running. This race manifests as rare
period-length statlls for such entities.

Rather than heavy-weight the synchronization with the progress of
distribution, we can fix this by aborting throttling if bandwidth has
become available. Otherwise, we immediately add the entity to the
throttled list so that it can be observed by a subsequent distribution.

Additionally, we can remove the case of adding the throttled entity to
the head of the throttled list, and simply always add to the tail.
Thanks to 26a8b12747c97, distribute_cfs_runtime() no longer holds onto
its own pool of runtime. This means that if we do hit the !assign and
distribute_running case, we know that distribution is about to end.

[ Upstream commit 62849a9612924a655c67cf6962920544aa5c20db ]

The kernel test robot triggered a warning with the following race:
   task-ctx A                            interrupt-ctx B
 worker
  -&gt; process_one_work()
    -&gt; work_item()

             -&gt; -&gt;sleeping = 1
               atomic_dec_and_test(nr_running)
         __schedule();                *interrupt*
                                       async_page_fault()
                                       -&gt; local_irq_enable();
                                       -&gt; schedule();
                                          -&gt; sched_submit_work()
                                            -&gt; wq_worker_sleeping()
                                               -&gt; if (WARN_ON(-&gt;sleeping)) return
                                          -&gt; __schedule()
                                            -&gt;  sched_update_worker()
                                              -&gt; wq_worker_running()
                                                 -&gt; atomic_inc(nr_running);
                                                 -&gt; -&gt;sleeping = 0;

      -&gt;  sched_update_worker()
        -&gt; wq_worker_running()
          if (!-&gt;sleeping) return

In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the -&gt;sleeping
assignment (0 -&gt; 1 &gt; 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the -&gt;sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().

Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect -&gt;sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

                                                 -&gt; atomic_inc(nr_running);
                                                 -&gt; -&gt;sleeping = 0;

      -&gt;  sched_update_worker()
        -&gt; wq_worker_running()
          if (!-&gt;sleeping) return

In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the -&gt;sleeping
assignment (0 -&gt; 1 &gt; 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the -&gt;sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().

Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect -&gt;sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

[ Upstream commit e65855a52b479f98674998cb23b21ef5a8144b04 ]

[ Upstream commit 46609ce227039fd192e0ecc7d940bed587fd2c78 ]

There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/

While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.

As soon as the user start using util clamp by:

	1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
	2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
	3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup

We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.

This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.

SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq-&gt;uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.

In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.

The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.

<title>sched/uclamp: Fix initialization of struct uclamp_rq</title>

[ Upstream commit d81ae8aac85ca2e307d273f6dc7863a721bf054e ]

struct uclamp_rq was zeroed out entirely in assumption that in the first
call to uclamp_rq_inc() they'd be initialized correctly in accordance to
default settings.

But when next patch introduces a static key to skip
uclamp_rq_{inc,dec}() until userspace opts in to use uclamp, schedutil
will fail to perform any frequency changes because the
rq-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].value is zeroed at init and stays as such. Which
means all rqs are capped to 0 by default.

Fix it by making sure we do proper initialization at init without
relying on uclamp_rq_inc() doing it later.
