Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.
The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.
There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.
Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.
No functional changes.
Some performance tests on Arm64:
- small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
- HMP device (RB5): hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
- large smp (thx2): hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)

find_new_ilb() returns nr_cpu_ids on failure - which is the usual
cpumask bitops return pattern, but is weird & unnecessary in this
context: not only is it a global variable, it it is a +1 out of
bounds CPU index and also has different signedness ...
Its only user, kick_ilb(), then checks the return against nr_cpu_ids
to decide to return. There's no other use.
So instead of this, use a standard -1 return on failure to find an
idle CPU, as the argument is signed already.

Commit bf5835bcdb ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle")
disables IBRS when the cstate is 6 or lower. However, there are
some use cases where a customer may want to use max_cstate=1 to
lower latency. Such use cases will suffer from the performance
degradation caused by the enabling of IBRS in the sibling idle thread.
Add a "ibrs_off" module parameter to force disable IBRS and the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE flag if set.
In the case of a Skylake server with max_cstate=1, this new ibrs_off
option will likely increase the IRQ response latency as IRQ will now
be disabled.
When running SPECjbb2015 with cstates set to C1 on a Skylake system.
First test when the kernel is booted with: "intel_idle.ibrs_off":
max-jOPS = 117828, critical-jOPS = 66047
Then retest when the kernel is booted without the "intel_idle.ibrs_off"
added:
max-jOPS = 116408, critical-jOPS = 58958
That means booting with "intel_idle.ibrs_off" improves performance by:
max-jOPS: +1.2%, which could be considered noise range.
critical-jOPS: +12%, which is definitely a solid improvement.
The admin-guide/pm/intel_idle.rst file is updated to add a description
about the new "ibrs_off" module parameter.

When intel_idle_ibrs() is called, it modifies the SPEC_CTRL MSR to 0
in order disable IBRS. However, the new MSR value isn't reflected in
x86_spec_ctrl_current which is at odd with the other code that keep track
of its state in that percpu variable. Use the new __update_spec_ctrl()
to have the x86_spec_ctrl_current percpu value properly updated.
Since spec-ctrl.h includes both msr.h and nospec-branch.h, we can remove
those from the include file list.

Commit bf5835bcdb ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle")
disables IBRS when the CPU enters long idle. However, when a CPU
becomes offline, the IBRS bit is still set when X86_FEATURE_KERNEL_IBRS
is enabled. That will impact the performance of a sibling CPU. Mitigate
this performance impact by clearing all the mitigation bits in SPEC_CTRL
MSR when offline. When the CPU is online again, it will be re-initialized
and so restoring the SPEC_CTRL value isn't needed.
Add a comment to say that native_play_dead() is a __noreturn function,
but it can't be marked as such to avoid confusion about the missing
MSR restoration code.
When DPDK is running on an isolated CPU thread processing network packets
in user space while its sibling thread is idle. The performance of the
busy DPDK thread with IBRS on and off in the sibling idle thread are:
IBRS on IBRS off
------- --------
packets/second: 7.8M 10.4M
avg tsc cycles/packet: 282.26 209.86
This is a 25% performance degradation. The test system is a Intel Xeon
4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz.

When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.
When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.
For example:
The cpu7 is a single CPU:
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done& [1] 4737
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 > scaling_max_freq
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2171000
At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.
To fix this, add a check for the ->need_freq_update flag.

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it
eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case.
Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division
is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this
property the value returned is slightly left of the true average.
However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the
effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the
returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.

Both glibc and musl define 'struct sched_param' in sched.h, while kernel
has it in uapi/linux/sched/types.h, making it cumbersome to use
sched_getattr(2) or sched_setattr(2) from userspace.
For example, something like this:
#include <sched.h>
#include <linux/sched/types.h>
struct sched_attr sa;
will result in "error: redefinition of ‘struct sched_param’" (note the
code doesn't need sched_param at all -- it needs struct sched_attr
plus some stuff from sched.h).
The situation is, glibc is not going to provide a wrapper for
sched_{get,set}attr, thus the need to include linux/sched_types.h
directly, which leads to the above problem.
Thus, the userspace is left with a few sub-par choices when it wants to
use e.g. sched_setattr(2), such as maintaining a copy of struct
sched_attr definition, or using some other ugly tricks.
OTOH, 'struct sched_param' is well known, defined in POSIX, and it won't
be ever changed (as that would break backward compatibility).
So, while 'struct sched_param' is indeed part of the kernel uapi,
exposing it the way it's done now creates an issue, and hiding it
(like this patch does) fixes that issue, hopefully without creating
another one: common userspace software rely on libc headers, and as
for "special" software (like libc), it looks like glibc and musl
do not rely on kernel headers for 'struct sched_param' definition
(but let's Cc their mailing lists in case it's otherwise).
The alternative to this patch would be to move struct sched_attr to,
say, linux/sched.h, or linux/sched/attr.h (the new file).
Oh, and here is the previous attempt to fix the issue:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200528135552.GA87103@google.com/
While I support Linus arguments, the issue is still here
and needs to be fixed.
[ mingo: Linus is right, this shouldn't be needed - but on the other
hand I agree that this header is not really helpful to
user-space as-is. So let's pretend that
<uapi/linux/sched/types.h> is only about sched_attr, and
call this commit a workaround for user-space breakage
that it in reality is ... Also, remove the Fixes tag. ]

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken
because:
- the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int
- parsed by proc_do_intvec()
- the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec()
Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a
unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive
integers which did passed the check:
if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0)
return EINVAL;
This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both
perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes
the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead.
Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the
period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use
proc_douintvec() for it however even the
Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to
INT_MAX.
As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl
file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse
userspace.
There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at:

the polling's percentage to the "shortest_full" list to tell the
writer when to wake it up.
- For eventfs dir lookups on dynamic events, an event system's only

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit().
User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be
updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are
ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The
address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value
within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit
for little and big endian CPUs.
Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit
value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct
the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure
compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.
Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any
data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space
point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e84 by having the polling
code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified
"buffer percent" had.
The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the
writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring
buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter
whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see
that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and
then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again.
Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times
for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking
of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave
the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this
definitely is not the desired effect.
To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the
"shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the
buffer is not as full as it expects to be.
Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x
the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the
11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is
more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.

=======
The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while
the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively. So the atomic
variable __kexec_lock and kexec_trylock() can't guarantee the
serialization of crash hotplug handling.
Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug
handling specifically. This doesn't impact the usage of __kexec_lock.

When calling mbind() with MPOL_MF_{MOVE|MOVEALL} | MPOL_MF_STRICT, kernel
should attempt to migrate all existing pages, and return -EIO if there is
misplaced or unmovable page. Then commit 6f4576e368 ("mempolicy: apply
page table walker on queue_pages_range()") messed up the return value and
didn't break VMA scan early ianymore when MPOL_MF_STRICT alone. The
return value problem was fixed by commit a7f40cfe3b ("mm: mempolicy:
make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified"), but it broke
the VMA walk early if unmovable page is met, it may cause some pages are
not migrated as expected.
The code should conceptually do:
if (MPOL_MF_MOVE|MOVEALL)
scan all vmas
try to migrate the existing pages
return success
else if (MPOL_MF_MOVE* | MPOL_MF_STRICT)
scan all vmas
try to migrate the existing pages
return -EIO if unmovable or migration failed
else /* MPOL_MF_STRICT alone */
break early if meets unmovable and don't call mbind_range() at all
else /* none of those flags */
check the ranges in test_walk, EFAULT without mbind_range() if discontig.
Fixed the behavior.
