kernel/sched/psi.c: simplify cgroup_move_task()

2018-11-18T18:15:09+00:00

The existing code triggered an invalid warning about 'rq' possibly being
used uninitialized.  Instead of doing the silly warning suppression by
initializa it to NULL, refactor the code to bail out early instead.

Warning was:

  kernel/sched/psi.c: In function `cgroup_move_task':
  kernel/sched/psi.c:639:13: warning: `rq' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

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

2018-11-12T04:00:46+00:00

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.

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
 [    0.755236]  static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0x20/0xc8

 [    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".

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These remove a questionable heuristic from the menu cpuidle governor,
  fix a recent build regression in the intel_pstate driver, clean up ARM
  big-Little support in cpufreq and fix up hung task watchdog's
  interaction with system-wide power management transitions.

  Specifics:

   - Fix build regression in the intel_pstate driver that doesn't build
     without CONFIG_ACPI after recent changes (Dominik Brodowski).

   - One of the heuristics in the menu cpuidle governor is based on a
     function returning 0 most of the time, so drop it and clean up the
     scheduler code related to it (Daniel Lezcano).

   - Prevent the arm_big_little cpufreq driver from being used on ARM64
     which is not suitable for it and drop the arm_big_little_dt driver
     that is not used any more (Sudeep Holla).

   - Prevent the hung task watchdog from triggering during resume from
     system-wide sleep states by disabling it before freezing tasks and
     enabling it again after they have been thawed (Vitaly Kuznetsov)"
