1eae219ea0 sched/topology: Provide arch_llc_mask for cache aware scheduling
Venkat Reported a boot kernel panic next-20260522. Git bisect pointed to
b5ea300a17 ("sched/cache: Make LLC id continuous")

Stacktrace points to llc_mask being null.

On powerpc, cpu_coregroup_mask is available only when the underlying
hardware support coregroup. In shared LPAR, QEMU guest or power9 etc
coregroup isn't supported. In such cases llc_mask was being referenced
when it was null leading to panic.

On powerpc, LLC is at SMT core level. So assumption that coregroup(MC)
domain point to LLC is wrong. Provide a way for archs to say where its
LLC is if it not at MC domain.

9e005ed211 sched/topology: Allow multiple domains to claim sched_domain_shared
Recent optimizations of sd->shared assignment moved to allocating a
single instance of per-CPU sched_domain_shared objects per s_data.

Recent optimizations to select_idle_capacity() moved the sd->shared
assignments to "sd_asym" domain when ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is detected but
cache-aware scheduling mandates the presence of "sd_llc_shared" to
compute and cache per-LLC statistics.

Use an "alloc_flags" union in sched_domain_shared to claim a
sched_domain_shared object per sched_domain. Allocation starts searching
for an available / matching sched_domain_shared instance from the first
CPU of sched_domain_span(sd) (sd can be sd_llc, or sd_asym). If the
shared object is claimed by another domain, the instance corresponding
to next CPU in the domain span is explored until a matching / available
instance is found.

In case of a single CPU in sched_domain_span(), the domain will be
degenerated and a temporary overlap of ->shared objects across different
domains is acceptable.

"alloc_flags" forms a union with "nr_idle_scan" and the stale flags are
left as is when the sd->shared is published. The expectation is for the
first load balancing instance to correct the value just like the current
behavior, except the initial value is no longer 0.

fdfe5a8cd8 sched/fair: Attach sched_domain_shared to sd_asym_cpucapacity
On asymmetric CPU capacity systems, the wakeup path uses
select_idle_capacity(), which scans the span of sd_asym_cpucapacity
rather than sd_llc.

The has_idle_cores hint however lives on sd_llc->shared, so the
wakeup-time read of has_idle_cores operates on an LLC-scoped blob while
the actual scan/decision spans the asym domain; nr_busy_cpus also lives
in the same shared sched_domain data, but it's never used in the asym
CPU capacity scenario.

Therefore, move the sched_domain_shared object to sd_asym_cpucapacity
whenever the CPU has a SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL ancestor and that
ancestor is non-overlapping (i.e., not built from SD_NUMA). In that case
the scope of has_idle_cores matches the scope of the wakeup scan.

Fall back to attaching the shared object to sd_llc in three cases:

  1) plain symmetric systems (no SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL anywhere);

  2) CPUs in an exclusive cpuset that carves out a symmetric capacity
     island: has_asym is system-wide but those CPUs have no
     SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL ancestor in their hierarchy and follow
     the symmetric LLC path in select_idle_sibling();

  3) exotic topologies where SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL lands on an
     SD_NUMA-built domain. init_sched_domain_shared() keys the shared
     blob off cpumask_first(span), which on overlapping NUMA domains
     would alias unrelated spans onto the same blob. Keep the shared
     object on the LLC there; select_idle_capacity() gracefully skips
     the has_idle_cores preference when sd->shared is NULL.

While at it, also rename the per-CPU sd_llc_shared to sd_balance_shared,
as it is no longer strictly tied to the LLC.

5bc6ab2d42 sched: Simplify ifdeffery around cpu_smt_mask
Now, that cpu_smt_mask is defined as cpumask_of(cpu) for
CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=n, it is possible to get rid of the ifdeffery.

Effectively,
 - This makes sched_smt_present is defined always

 - cpumask_weight(cpumask_of(cpu)) == 1. So sched_smt_present_inc/dec
   will never enable the sched_smt_present. Which is expected.

 - Paths that were compile-time eliminated become runtime guarded
   using static keys.

 - Defines set_idle_cores, test_idle_cores, etc which could likely benefit
   the CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=n systems to use the same optimizations within the
   LLC at wakeups.

 - This will expose sched_smt_present symbol for CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=n.
   Likely not a concern.

 - There is a bloat of code CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=n. (NR_CPUS=2048)
   add/remove: 24/18 grow/shrink: 26/28 up/down: 6396/-3188 (3208)
   Total: Before=30629880, After=30633088, chg +0.01%

 - No code bloat for CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y, which is expected.

 - Add comments around stop_core_cpuslocked on why ifdefs are not
   removed.

 - This leaves the remaining uses of CONFIG_SCHED_SMT mainly for
   topology building bits which has a policy based decision.

a7660ce159 sched/cache: Fix has_multi_llcs iff at least one partition has multiple LLCs
sched_cache_present is a global static key, but build_sched_domains()
is called per partition from the "Build new domains" loop in
partition_sched_domains_locked(). Each call unconditionally sets the
key based solely on the has_multi_llcs local variable for that partition.

The call to the last partition set the value even when there
are previous partitions with multiple LLCs.

If partition A (multi-LLC) is built first, the key is enabled. Then
when partition B (single-LLC) is built, the key is disabled. The
multi-LLC partition A is still active but the key is now off.

Fix it by doing a similar thing as sched_energy_present: check the
multi-LLCs during the iteration over all the partitions rather than
checking it on a single partition.

This bug was reported by sashiko.

5beff4f087 sched/cache: Fix cache aware scheduling enabling for multi LLCs system
If there are multiple LLCs in the system, cache aware scheduling
should be enabled. However, there is a corner case where, if there
is a single NUMA node and a single LLC per node, cache aware
scheduling will be turned on in the current implementation -
because at this moment, the parent domain has not yet been
degenerated, and it is possible that the current domain has the
same cpu span as its parent. There is no need to turn cache aware
scheduling on in this scenario.

Fix it by iterating the parent domains to find a domain that is
a superset of the current sd_llc, so that later, after the duplicated
parent domains have been degenerated, cache aware scheduling will
take effect.

For example, the expected behavior would be:
2 sockets, 1 LLC per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-7, has_multi_llcs=true
1 socket, 2 LLCs per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-7, has_multi_llcs=true
2 sockets, 2 LLCs per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-7, has_multi_llcs=true
1 socket, 1 LLC per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-3, has_multi_llcs=false

This bug was reported by sashiko.

9f7c745850 sched/cache: Fix race condition during sched domain rebuild
sched_cache_active_set_unlocked() checks hardware support without
locks:
static void sched_cache_active_set(bool locked)
{
        /* hardware does not support */
        if (!static_branch_likely(&sched_cache_present)) {
                _sched_cache_active_set(false, locked);
                return;
        }
    ...
If build_sched_domains() runs concurrently during CPU hotplug,
it can disable sched_cache_present under sched_domains_mutex
and the CPU hotplug lock. If a debugfs write thread evaluates
sched_cache_present as true right before that, and then blocks
or gets preempted, it might proceed to enable sched_cache_active
after the hardware support has been marked as absent. Make it
safer by acquiring cpus_read_lock() and sched_domains_mutex_lock()
when the user changes sched_cache_active via debugfs.

This bug was reported by sashiko.

7030513a08 sched/cache: Calculate the LLC size and store it in sched_domain
Cache aware scheduling needs to know the LLC size that a process
can use, so as to avoid memory-intensive tasks from being
over-aggregated on a single LLC.

Introduce a preparation patch to add get_effective_llc_bytes() to
get the LLC size that a CPU can use. The function can be further
enhanced by subtracting the LLC cache ways reserved by resctrl
(CAT in Intel RDT, etc).

d59f4fd1d3 sched/cache: Enable cache aware scheduling for multi LLCs NUMA node
Introduce sched_cache_present to enable cache aware scheduling for
multi LLCs NUMA node Cache-aware load balancing should only be
enabled if there are more than 1 LLCs within 1 NUMA node.
sched_cache_present is introduced to indicate whether this
platform supports this topology.

Test results:
The first test platform is a 2 socket Intel Sapphire Rapids with 30
cores per socket. The DRAM interleaving is enabled in the BIOS so it
essential has one NUMA node with two last level caches. There are 60
CPUs associated with each last level cache.

The second test platform is a AMD Genoa. There are 4 Nodes and 32 CPUs
per node. Each node has 2 CCXs and each CCX has 16 CPUs.

hackbench/schbench/netperf/stream/stress-ng/chacha20 were launched
on these two platforms.

[TL;DR]
Sappire Rapids:
hackbench shows significant improvement when the number of
different active threads is below the capacity of a LLC.
schbench shows limitted wakeup latency improvement.
ChaCha20-xiangshan(risc-v simulator) shows good throughput
improvement. No obvious difference was observed in
netperf/stream/stress-ng in Hmean.

Genoa:
Significant improvement is observed in hackbench when
the active number of threads is lower than the number
of CPUs within 1 LLC. On v2, Aaron reported improvement
of hackbench/redis when system is underloaded.
ChaCha20-xiangshan shows huge throughput improvement.
Phoronix has tested v1 and shows good improvements in 30+
cases[3]. No obvious difference was observed in
netperf/stream/stress-ng in Hmean.

Detail:
Due to length constraints, data without much difference with
baseline is not presented.

a8d0ca0b7f sched/cache: Introduce per CPU's tasks LLC preference counter
The lowest level of sched domain for each CPU is assigned an
array where each element tracks the number of tasks preferring
a given LLC, indexed from 0 to max_lid. Since each CPU
has its dedicated sd, this implies that each CPU will have
a dedicated task LLC preference counter.

For example, sd->llc_counts[3] = 2 signifies that there
are 2 tasks on this runqueue which prefer to run within LLC3.

The load balancer can use this information to identify busy
runqueues and migrate tasks to their preferred LLC domains.
This array will be reallocated at runtime during sched domain
rebuild.

Introduce the buffer allocation mechanism, and the statistics
will be calculated in the subsequent patch.

Note: the LLC preference statistics of each CPU are reset on
sched domain rebuild and may under count temporarily, until the
CPU becomes idle and the count is cleared. This is a trade off
to avoid complex data synchronization across sched domain builds.

b5ea300a17 sched/cache: Make LLC id continuous
Introduce an index mapping between CPUs and their LLCs. This provides
a roughly continuous per LLC index needed for cache-aware load balancing in
later patches.

The existing per_cpu llc_id usually points to the first CPU of the
LLC domain, which is sparse and unsuitable as an array index. Using
llc_id directly would waste memory.

With the new mapping, CPUs in the same LLC share an approximate
continuous id:

  per_cpu(llc_id, CPU=0...15)  = 0
  per_cpu(llc_id, CPU=16...31) = 1
  per_cpu(llc_id, CPU=32...47) = 2
  ...

Note that the LLC IDs are allocated via bitmask, so the IDs may be
reused during CPU offline->online transitions.

bb7a5e44fc sched/topology: Switch to assigning "sd->shared" from s_data
Use the "sched_domain_shared" object allocated in s_data for
"sd->shared" assignments. Assign "sd->shared" for the topmost
SD_SHARE_LLC domain before degeneration and rely on the degeneration
path to correctly pass down the shared object to "sd_llc".

sd_degenerate_parent() ensures degenerating domains must have the same
sched_domain_span() which ensures 1:1 passing down of the shared object.
If the topmost SD_SHARE_LLC domain degenerates, the shared object is
freed from destroy_sched_domain() when the last reference is dropped.

claim_allocations() NULLs out the objects that have been assigned as
"sd->shared" and the unassigned ones are freed from the __sds_free()
path.

To keep all the claim_allocations() bits in one place,
claim_allocations() has been extended to accept "s_data" and iterate the
domains internally to free both "sched_domain_shared" and the
per-topology-level data for the particular CPU in one place.

Post cpu_attach_domain(), all reclaims of "sd->shared" are handled via
call_rcu() on the sched_domain object via destroy_sched_domains_rcu().

1cc8a33ca7 sched/topology: Allocate per-CPU sched_domain_shared in s_data
The "sched_domain_shared" object is allocated for every topology level
in __sdt_alloc() and is freed post sched domain rebuild if they aren't
assigned during sd_init().

"sd->shared" is only assigned for SD_SHARE_LLC domains and out of all
the assigned objects, only "sd_llc_shared" is ever used by the
scheduler.

Since only "sd_llc_shared" is ever used, and since SD_SHARE_LLC domains
never overlap, allocate only a single range of per-CPU
"sched_domain_shared" object with s_data instead of doing it per
topology level.

The subsequent commit uses the degeneration path to correctly assign the
"sd->shared" to the topmost SD_SHARE_LLC domain.

No functional changes are expected at this point.

5a7b576b3e sched/topology: Extract "imb_numa_nr" calculation into a separate helper
Subsequent changes to assign "sd->shared" from "s_data" would
necessitate finding the topmost SD_SHARE_LLC to assign shared object to.

This is very similar to the "imb_numa_nr" computation loop except that
"imb_numa_nr" cares about the first domain without the SD_SHARE_LLC flag
(immediate parent of sd_llc) whereas the "sd->shared" assignment would
require sd_llc itself.

Extract the "imb_numa_nr" calculation into a helper
adjust_numa_imbalance() and use the current loop in the
build_sched_domains() to find the sd_llc.

While at it, guard the call behind CONFIG_NUMA's status since
"imb_numa_nr" only makes sense on NUMA enabled configs with SD_NUMA
domains.

No functional changes intended.

8e8e23dea4 sched/topology: Compute sd_weight considering cpuset partitions
The "sd_weight" used for calculating the load balancing interval, and
its limits, considers the span weight of the entire topology level
without accounting for cpuset partitions.

For example, consider a large system of 128CPUs divided into 8 * 16CPUs
partition which is typical when deploying virtual machines:

  [                      PKG Domain: 128CPUs                      ]

  [Partition0: 16CPUs][Partition1: 16CPUs] ... [Partition7: 16CPUs]

Although each partition only contains 16CPUs, the load balancing
interval is set to a minimum of 128 jiffies considering the span of the
entire domain with 128CPUs which can lead to longer imbalances within
the partition although balancing within is cheaper with 16CPUs.

Compute the "sd_weight" after computing the "sd_span" considering the
cpu_map covered by the partition, and set the load balancing interval,
and its limits accordingly.

For the above example, the balancing intervals for the partitions PKG
domain changes as follows:

                  before   after
balance_interval   128      16
min_interval       128      16
max_interval       256      32

Intervals are now proportional to the CPUs in the partitioned domain as
was intended by the original formula.

9fe89f022c sched/fair: More complex proportional newidle balance
It turns out that a few workloads (easyWave, fio) have a fairly low
success rate on newidle balance, but still benefit greatly from having
it anyway.

Luckliky these workloads have a faily low newidle rate, so the cost if
doing the newidle is relatively low, even if unsuccessfull.

Add a simple rate based part to the newidle ratio compute, such that
low rate newidle will still have a high newidle ratio.

This cures the easyWave and fio workloads while not affecting the
schbench numbers either (which have a very high newidle rate).

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() uses a bsearch to look for the 'closest'

might not intersect if all CPUs in the cpus mask are offline. bsearch

Yury: with the fix, the function returns cpu == nr_cpu_ids, and later in

	smp_call_function_any ->
	  smp_call_function_single ->
	     generic_exec_single

we test the cpu for '>= nr_cpu_ids' and return -ENXIO. So everything is
handled correctly.

661f951e37 sched/fair: Get rid of sched_domains_curr_level hack for tl->cpumask()
Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during
their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to
the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of
the highest NUMA domain.

tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the
global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is
set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains()
calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane().

Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from
build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips
when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps.

Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of
it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level"
object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future.

sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of
relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into
sched_domains_numa_masks[].

The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology
reported by Leon:

    $ sudo numactl -H
    available: 5 nodes (0-4)
    node 0 cpus: 0 1
    node 0 size: 2927 MB

    node 3 free: 3002 MB
    node 4 cpus: 8 9
    node 4 size: 3022 MB
    node 4 free: 2718 MB
    node distances:
    node   0   1   2   3   4
      0:  10  39  38  37  36
      1:  39  10  38  37  36
      2:  38  38  10  37  36
      3:  37  37  37  10  36
      4:  36  36  36  36  10

The above topology can be mimicked using the following QEMU cmd that was
used to reproduce the warning and test the fix:

1eec89a671 sched/topology: Remove sched_domain_topology_level::flags
Support for overlapping domains added in commit e3589f6c81 ("sched:
Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans") also allowed forcefully
setting SD_OVERLAP for !NUMA domains via FORCE_SD_OVERLAP sched_feat().

Since NUMA domains had to be presumed overlapping to ensure correct
behavior, "sched_domain_topology_level::flags" was introduced. NUMA
domains added the SDTL_OVERLAP flag would ensure SD_OVERLAP was always
added during build_sched_domains() for these domains, even when
FORCE_SD_OVERLAP was off.

Condition for adding the SD_OVERLAP flag at the aforementioned commit
was as follows:

    if (tl->flags & SDTL_OVERLAP || sched_feat(FORCE_SD_OVERLAP))
            sd->flags |= SD_OVERLAP;

The FORCE_SD_OVERLAP debug feature was removed in commit af85596c74
("sched/topology: Remove FORCE_SD_OVERLAP") which left the NUMA domains
as the exclusive users of SDTL_OVERLAP, SD_OVERLAP, and SD_NUMA flags.

Get rid of SDTL_OVERLAP and SD_OVERLAP as they have become redundant
and instead rely on SD_NUMA to detect the only overlapping domain
currently supported. Since SDTL_OVERLAP was the only user of
"tl->flags", get rid of "sched_domain_topology_level::flags" too.

cac5cefbad sched/smp: Make SMP unconditional
Simplify the scheduler by making CONFIG_SMP=y primitives and data
structures unconditional.

Introduce transitory wrappers for functionality not yet converted to SMP.

Note that this patch is pretty large, because there's no clear separation
between various aspects of the SMP scheduler, it's basically a huge block
of #ifdef CONFIG_SMP. A fair amount of it has to be switched on for it to
boot and work on UP systems.

3d7e10188a sched: Make clangd usable
Due to the weird Makefile setup of sched the various files do not
compile as stand alone units. The new generation of editors are trying
to do just this -- mostly to offer fancy things like completions but
also better syntax highlighting and code navigation.

Specifically, I've been playing around with neovim and clangd.

Setting up clangd on the kernel source is a giant pain in the arse
(this really should be improved), but once you do manage, you run into
dumb stuff like the above.

Fix up the scheduler files to at least pretend to work.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
  time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
  the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
  fixes related to boost handling.

  Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
  making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
  which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
  operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
  governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).

  There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
  including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
  new online/offline callbacks.

  In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
  C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
  users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
  conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
  are two small updates of cpuidle governors.

  Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
  handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
  during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
  asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
  aggressively during resume transitions.

  Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
  is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
  helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() (Yaxiong
     Tian)

   - Fix typos in energy model documentation and example driver code
     (Moon Hee Lee, Atul Kumar Pant)

   - Rearrange the energy model management code and add a new function
     for adjusting a CPU energy model after adjusting the capacity of
     the given CPU to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Refactor cpufreq_online(), add and use cpufreq policy locking
     guards, use __free() in policy reference counting, and clean up
     core cpufreq code on top of that (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix boost handling on CPU suspend/resume and sysfs updates (Viresh
     Kumar)

   - Fix des_perf clamping with max_perf in amd_pstate_update()
     (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Add offline, online and suspend callbacks to the amd-pstate driver,
     rename and use the existing amd_pstate_epp callbacks in it
     (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option to
     the amd-pstate driver (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Reset amd-pstate driver mode after running selftests (Swapnil
     Sapkal)

   - Avoid shadowing ret in amd_pstate_ut_check_driver() (Nathan
     Chancellor)

   - Add helper for governor checks to the schedutil cpufreq governor
     and move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Populate the cpu_capacity sysfs entries from the intel_pstate
     driver after registering asym capacity support (Ricardo Neri)

   - Add support for enabling Energy-aware scheduling (EAS) to the
     intel_pstate driver when operating in the passive mode on a hybrid
     platform (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Drop redundant cpus_read_lock() from store_local_boost() in the

4854649b1f cpufreq/sched: Move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq
Doing cpufreq-specific EAS checks that require accessing policy
internals directly from sched_is_eas_possible() is a bit unfortunate,
so introduce cpufreq_ready_for_eas() in cpufreq, move those checks
into that new function and make sched_is_eas_possible() call it.

While at it, address a possible race between the EAS governor check
and governor change by doing the former under the policy rwsem.

0e3f6c3696 sched/topology: Introduce sched_update_asym_prefer_cpu()
A subset of AMD Processors supporting Preferred Core Rankings also
feature the ability to dynamically switch these rankings at runtime to
bias load balancing towards or away from the LLC domain with larger
cache.

To support dynamically updating "sg->asym_prefer_cpu" without needing to
rebuild the sched domain, introduce sched_update_asym_prefer_cpu() which
recomutes the "asym_prefer_cpu" when the core-ranking of a CPU changes.

sched_update_asym_prefer_cpu() swaps the "sg->asym_prefer_cpu" with the
CPU whose ranking has changed if the new ranking is greater than that of
the "asym_prefer_cpu". If CPU whose ranking has changed is the current
"asym_prefer_cpu", it scans the CPUs of the sched groups to find the new
"asym_prefer_cpu" and sets it accordingly.

get_group() for non-overlapping sched domains returns the sched group
for the first CPU in the sched_group_span() which ensures all CPUs in
the group see the updated value of "asym_prefer_cpu".

Overlapping groups are allocated differently and will require moving the
"asym_prefer_cpu" to "sg->sgc" but since the current implementations do
not set "SD_ASYM_PACKING" at NUMA domains, skip additional
indirection and place a SCHED_WARN_ON() to alert any future users.

6432e163ba sched/isolation: Make use of more than one housekeeping cpu
The exising code uses housekeeping_any_cpu() to select a cpu for
a given housekeeping task. However, this often ends up calling
cpumask_any_and() which is defined as cpumask_first_and() which has
the effect of alyways using the first cpu among those available.

The same applies when multiple NUMA nodes are involved. In that
case the first cpu in the local node is chosen which does provide
a bit of spreading but with multiple HK cpus per node the same
issues arise.

We have numerous cases where a single HK cpu just cannot keep up
and the remote_tick warning fires. It also can lead to the other
things (orchastration sw, HA keepalives etc) on the HK cpus getting
starved which leads to other issues.  In these cases we recommend
increasing the number of HK cpus.  But... that only helps the
userspace tasks somewhat. It does not help the actual housekeeping
part.

Spread the HK work out by having housekeeping_any_cpu() and
sched_numa_find_closest() use cpumask_any_and_distribute()
instead of cpumask_any_and().

ce29a7da84 sched/topology: Refinement to topology_span_sane speedup
Simplify the topology_span_sane code further, removing the need to
allocate an array and gotos used to make sure the array gets freed.

This version is in a separate commit because it could return a
different sanity result than the previous code, but only in odd
circumstances that are not expected to actually occur; for example,
when a CPU is not listed in its own mask.

f55dac1daf sched/topology: improve topology_span_sane speed
Use a different approach to topology_span_sane(), that checks for the
same constraint of no partial overlaps for any two CPU sets for
non-NUMA topology levels, but does so in a way that is O(N) rather
than O(N^2).

Instead of comparing with all other masks to detect collisions, keep
one mask that includes all CPUs seen so far and detect collisions with
a single cpumask_intersects test.

If the current mask has no collisions with previously seen masks, it
should be a new mask, which can be uniquely identified by the lowest
bit set in this mask.  Keep a pointer to this mask for future
reference (in an array indexed by the lowest bit set), and add the
CPUs in this mask to the list of those seen.

If the current mask does collide with previously seen masks, it should
be exactly equal to a mask seen before, looked up in the same array
indexed by the lowest bit set in the mask, a single comparison.

Move the topology_span_sane() check out of the existing topology level
loop, let it use its own loop so that the array allocation can be done
only once, shared across levels.

On a system with 1920 processors (16 sockets, 60 cores, 2 threads),
the average time to take one processor offline is reduced from 2.18
seconds to 1.01 seconds.  (Off-lining 959 of 1920 processors took
34m49.765s without this change, 16m10.038s with this change in place.)

2ff899e351 sched/deadline: Rebuild root domain accounting after every update
Rebuilding of root domains accounting information (total_bw) is
currently broken on some cases, e.g. suspend/resume on aarch64. Problem
is that the way we keep track of domain changes and try to add bandwidth
back is convoluted and fragile.

Fix it by simplify things by making sure bandwidth accounting is cleared
and completely restored after root domains changes (after root domains
are again stable).

To be sure we always call dl_rebuild_rd_accounting while holding
cpuset_mutex we also add cpuset_reset_sched_domains() wrapper.

45007c6fb5 sched/deadline: Generalize unique visiting of root domains
Bandwidth checks and updates that work on root domains currently employ
a cookie mechanism for efficiency. This mechanism is very much tied to
when root domains are first created and initialized.

Generalize the cookie mechanism so that it can be used also later at
runtime while updating root domains. Also, additionally guard it with
sched_domains_mutex, since domains need to be stable while updating them
(and it will be required for further dynamic changes).

loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
