Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

This patch restricts the allowed cpu mask for rt tasks initially started
with a full cpu mask to the little domain.
An rt task is specified as real time in __setscheduler() which is finally
called for all rt tasks (kernel and user land). In this function we
restrict the allowed cpu mask to the little domain.
This also prevents that a rt tasks can later be pushed to the big domain
because the function find_lowest_rq() will only recognize the allowed cpu
mask of a task to find the new cpu the task runs on.
Current kludges of the patch:
* Since we do not have an API to get the cpu mask of the A7 cluster,
hmp_slow_cpu_mask is made global in arm/kernel/topology.c for now.
* The watchdog_enable() function calls sched_setscheduler() before
kthread_bind() for the cpu specific watchdog kernel threads. The order of
these two calls has to be changed to make this patch work.

There is little point in doing a nohz balance kick on a CPU from a
different HMP domain, since the unset SD_LOAD_BALANCE flag on the CPU
domain level prevents tasks from being balanced across clusters
except through the per-task load driven hmp_migrate/hmp_offload paths.
Further, the nohz balance kick is actively harmful to power usage if
all the tasks fit into the little domain since it causes the big
domain to wake up and do a lot of calculation to determine that
there is nothing to do.
A more generic solution is to walk the sched domain tree and determine
the intersection of potential idle balance cpus with visibility of
tasks on the current CPU, however HMP domains are more easily
accessible.

Initialise the load stats for new tasks so that they do not
see the instability in early task life which makes it so hard to
decide which CPU is appropriate.
Also, change the fork balance algorithm so that the least loaded of
the CPUs in the big cluster is chosen regardless of the bigness of
the parent task.
This is intended to help performance for applications which use
many short-lived tasks. Although best practise is usually to use
a thread pool, apps which do not do this should not be subject to
the randomness of the early stats.
We should ignore real-time threads for forking on big CPUs, but
it is not possible to figure out if a new thread is real-time or
not at the fork stage. Instead, we prevent kernel threads from
getting the initial boost - when they later become real-time they
will only be on big if their compute requirements demand it.

When evaluating a migration we make two calls to hmp_domain_min_load.
This is unnecessary if we pass on the target CPU information from the

The reference patch set always selects the first CPU in an HMP
domain as a migration target. In busy situations, this means that
the migrated thread cannot make immediate use of an idle CPU but
must share a busy one until the load balancer runs across the big
domain.
This patch uses the hmp_domain_min_load function introduced in
global balancing to figure out which of the CPUs is the least busy
and selects that as a migration target - in both directions.
This essentially implements a task-spread strategy and is intended
to maximise performance of migrated threads but is likely
to use more power than the packing strategy previously employed.

Normal task and runqueue loading is scaled according to priority
to end up with a weighted load, known as the contribution.
We want the CPU time to be allotted according to priority, but
we also want to make big/little decisions based upon raw load.
It is common, for example, for Android apps following the dev
guide to end up with all their long-running or async action
threads as low priority unless they override the AsyncThread
constructor. All these threads are such low priority that they
become invisible to the hmp_offload routine.
Using unweighted load here allows us to maximise CPU usage in busy
situations.

Evaluation Patch to investigate using load as a representation of the
amount of POTENTIAL cpu compute capacity used rather than a representation
of the CURRENT cpu compute capacity.
If CPUFreq is enabled, scales load in accordance with frequency.
Powersave/performance CPUFreq governors are detected and scaling is
disabled while these governors are in use. This is because when a
single-frequency governor is in use, potential CPU capacity is static.
So long as the governors and CPUFreq subsystem correctly report the
frequencies available, the scaling should self tune.

These functions allow to change the load average period used
in the task load average computation through
/sys/kernel/hmp/load_avg_period_ms. This period is the time
in ms to go from 0 to 0.5 load average while running or the
time from 1 to 0.5 while sleeping.
The default one used is 32 and gives the same load_avg_ratio
computation than without this patch. These functions also allow
to change the up and down threshold of HMP using
/sys/kernel/hmp/{up,down}_threshold. Both must be between 0 and
1024. The thresholds are divided by 1024 before being compared
to the load_avg_ratio.
If /sys/kernel/hmp/load_avg_period_ms is 128 and
/sys/kernel/hmp/up_threshold is 512, a task will be migrated
to a bigger cluster after running for 128ms. Because after
load_avg_period_ms the load average is 0.5 and real up_threshold
us 512 / 1024 = 0.5.

This patch introduces forced task migration for moving suitable
currently running tasks between hmp_domains. Task behaviour is likely
to change over time. Tasks running in a less capable hmp_domain may
change to become more demanding and should therefore be migrated up.
They are unlikely go through the select_task_rq_fair() path anytime
soon and therefore need special attention.
This patch introduces a period check (SCHED_TICK) of the currently
running task on all runqueues and sets up a forced migration using
stop_machine_no_wait() if the task needs to be migrated.
Ideally, this should not be implemented by polling all runqueues.

This patch introduces the basic SCHED_HMP infrastructure. Each class of
cpus is represented by a hmp_domain and tasks will only be moved between
these domains when their load profiles suggest it is beneficial.
SCHED_HMP relies heavily on the task load-tracking introduced in Paul
Turners fair group scheduling patch set:
<https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/267>
SCHED_HMP requires that the platform implements arch_get_hmp_domains()
which should set up the platform specific list of hmp_domains. It is
also assumed that the platform disables SD_LOAD_BALANCE for the
appropriate sched_domains.
Tasks placement takes place every time a task is to be inserted into
a runqueue based on its load history. The task placement decision is
based on load thresholds.
There are no restrictions on the number of hmp_domains, however,
multiple (>2) has not been tested and the up/down migration policy is
rather simple.

commit 13d60f4b6a upstream.
The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page
offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space
address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex.
Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages
of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those
futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs
mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another
one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical
futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses
page->index.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0
and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs
mapping.
The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because
PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as
their keys solely depend on the user space address.
2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2
3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which
results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1.
4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which
results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2.
5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2
still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1.
To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page
which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs
mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of
the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping.
Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still
use page->index.
Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation
functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific
details to the futex code.

The recent modification in the cpuidle framework consolidated the
timer broadcast code across the different drivers by setting a new
flag in the idle state. It tells the cpuidle core code to enter/exit
the broadcast mode for the cpu when entering a deep idle state. The
broadcast timer enter/exit is no longer handled by the back-end
driver.
This change made the local interrupt to be enabled *before* calling
CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT.
On a tegra114, a four cores system, when the flag has been introduced
in the driver, the following warning appeared:

I don't have the hardware, so I wasn't able to reproduce the warning
but after looking a while at the code, I deduced the following:
1. the CPU2 enters a deep idle state and sets the broadcast timer
2. the timer expires, the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast function is
called, setting the tick_broadcast_pending_mask and waking up the
idle cpu CPU2
3. the CPU2 exits idle handles the interrupt and then invokes
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT which
runs the following code:
[...]
if (dev->next_event.tv64 == KTIME_MAX)
goto out;
if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu,
tick_broadcast_pending_mask))
goto out;
[...]
So if there is no next event scheduled for CPU2, we fulfil the
first condition and jump out without clearing the
tick_broadcast_pending_mask.
4. CPU2 goes to deep idle again and calls
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_NOTIFY_EVENT_ENTER but
with the tick_broadcast_pending_mask set for CPU2, triggering the
warning.
The issue only surfaced due to the modifications of the cpuidle
framework, which resulted in interrupts being enabled before the call
to the clockevents code. If the call happens before interrupts have
been enabled, the warning cannot trigger, because there is still the
event pending which caused the broadcast timer expiry.
Move the check for the next event below the check for the pending bit,
so the pending bit gets cleared whether an event is scheduled on the
cpu or not.

# perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -p `pidof perl`
Before this patch this triggers the same problem/WARN_ON(),
after the patch it correctly fails with -ENOSPC.

------------[ cut here ]------------
What happened was that the function tracer traced the schedule_user() code
that tells RCU that the system is coming back from userspace, and to
add the CPU back to the RCU monitoring.
Because the function tracer does a preempt_disable/enable_notrace() calls
the preempt_enable_notrace() checks the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it is set,
then preempt_schedule() is called. But this is called before the user_exit()
function can inform the kernel that the CPU is no longer in user mode and
needs to be accounted for by RCU.
The fix is to create a new preempt_schedule_context() that checks if
the kernel is still in user mode and if so to switch it to kernel mode
before calling schedule. It also switches back to user mode coming back
from schedule in need be.
The only user of this currently is the preempt_enable_notrace(), which is
only used by the tracing subsystem.

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:
CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle
CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2
While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2
CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set
Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.
We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.
The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.
Change since V1:
- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

Vince's fuzzer once again found holes. This time it spotted a leak in
the locked page accounting.
When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last
reference to the buffer we didn't have a vm context to undo accounting.
Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach
all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context
to undo the vm accounting.

Joshua reported: Commit cd7b304dfaf1 (x86, range: fix missing merge
during add range) broke mtrr cleanup on his setup in 3.9.5.
corresponding commit in upstream is fbe06b7bae.
The reason is add_range_with_merge could generate blank spot.
We could avoid that by searching new expanded start/end, that
new range should include all connected ranges in range array.
At last add the new expanded start/end to the range array.
Also move up left array so do not add new blank slot in the
range array.
-v2: move left array to avoid enhance add_range()
-v3: include fix from Joshua about memmove declaring when
DYN_DEBUG is used.
