Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of scheduler fixes:
- Make the conditional update of the overutilized state work
correctly by caching the relevant flags state before overwriting
them and checking them afterwards.
- Fix a data race in the wakeup path which caused loadavg on ARM64
platforms to become a random number generator.
- Fix the ordering of the iowaiter accounting operations so it can't
be decremented before it is incremented.
- Fix a bug in the deadline scheduler vs. priority inheritance when a
non-deadline task A has inherited the parameters of a deadline task
B and then blocks on a non-deadline task C.
The second inheritance step used the static deadline parameters of
task A, which are usually 0, instead of further propagating task
B's parameters. The zero initialized parameters trigger a bug in
the deadline scheduler"

Glenn reported that "an application [he developed produces] a BUG in
deadline.c when a SCHED_DEADLINE task contends with CFS tasks on nested
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutexes. I believe the bug is triggered when a CFS
task that was boosted by a SCHED_DEADLINE task boosts another CFS task
(nested priority inheritance).

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:
So the execution order of locking steps are the following
(N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)
Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:
N1 N2 D1
| | |
| | |
Lock(M1) | |
| | |
| Lock(M2) |
| | |
| | Lock(M2)
| | |
| Lock(M1) |
| (!!bug triggered!) |
Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).
Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().
Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

Only select_task_rq_fair() uses that parameter to do an actual domain
search, other classes only care about what kind of wakeup is happening
(fork, exec, or "regular") and thus just translate the flag into a wakeup
type.
WF_TTWU and WF_EXEC have just been added, use these along with WF_FORK to
encode the wakeup types we care about. For select_task_rq_fair(), we can
simply use the shiny new WF_flag : SD_flag mapping.

In order to minimize the interference of migrate_disable() on lower
priority tasks, which can be deprived of runtime due to being stuck
below a higher priority task. Teach the RT/DL balancers to push away
these higher priority tasks when a lower priority task gets selected
to run on a freshly demoted CPU (pull).
This adds migration interference to the higher priority task, but
restores bandwidth to system that would otherwise be irrevocably lost.
Without this it would be possible to have all tasks on the system
stuck on a single CPU, each task preempted in a migrate_disable()
section with a single high priority task running.
This way we can still approximate running the M highest priority tasks
on the system.
Migrating the top task away is (ofcourse) still subject to
migrate_disable() too, which means the lower task is subject to an
interference equivalent to the worst case migrate_disable() section.

Since we now migrate tasks away before DYING, we should also move
bandwidth unthrottle, otherwise we can gain tasks from unthrottle
after we expect all tasks to be gone already.
Also; it looks like the RT balancers don't respect cpu_active() and
instead rely on rq->online in part, complete this. This too requires
we do set_rq_offline() earlier to match the cpu_active() semantics.
(The bigger patch is to convert RT to cpu_active() entirely)
Since set_rq_online() is called from sched_cpu_activate(), place
set_rq_offline() in sched_cpu_deactivate().

Florian reported that all of kernel/sched/ is rebuild when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is changed, which, while not a bug is
unexpected. This is due to us including vmlinux.lds.h.
Jakub explained that the problem is that we put the alignment
requirement on the type instead of on a variable. Type alignment is a
minimum, the compiler is free to pick any larger alignment for a
specific instance of the type (eg. the variable).
So force the type alignment on all individual variable definitions and
remove the undesired dependency on vmlinux.lds.h.

Add CPUPRI_HIGHER above the RT99 priority to denote the CPU is in use
by higher priority tasks (specifically deadline).
XXX: we should probably drive PUSH-PULL from cpupri, that would
automagically result in an RT-PUSH when DL sets cpupri to CPUPRI_HIGHER.

When change sched_rt_{runtime, period}_us, we validate that the new
settings should at least accommodate the currently allocated -dl
bandwidth:
sched_rt_handler()
--> sched_dl_bandwidth_validate()
{
new_bw = global_rt_runtime()/global_rt_period();
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
dl_b = dl_bw_of(cpu);
if (new_bw < dl_b->total_bw) <-------
ret = -EBUSY;
}
}
But under CONFIG_SMP, dl_bw is per root domain , but not per CPU,
dl_b->total_bw is the allocated bandwidth of the whole root domain.
Instead, we should compare dl_b->total_bw against "cpus*new_bw",
where 'cpus' is the number of CPUs of the root domain.
Also, below annotation(in kernel/sched/sched.h) implied implementation
only appeared in SCHED_DEADLINE v2[1], then deadline scheduler kept
evolving till got merged(v9), but the annotation remains unchanged,
meaningless and misleading, update it.
* With respect to SMP, the bandwidth is given on a per-CPU basis,
* meaning that:
* - dl_bw (< 100%) is the bandwidth of the system (group) on each CPU;
* - dl_total_bw array contains, in the i-eth element, the currently
* allocated bandwidth on the i-eth CPU.

stress-ng has a test (stress-ng --cyclic) that creates a set of threads
under SCHED_DEADLINE with the following parameters:
dl_runtime = 10000 (10 us)
dl_deadline = 100000 (100 us)
dl_period = 100000 (100 us)
These parameters are very aggressive. When using a system without HRTICK
set, these threads can easily execute longer than the dl_runtime because
the throttling happens with 1/HZ resolution.
During the main part of the test, the system works just fine because
the workload does not try to run over the 10 us. The problem happens at
the end of the test, on the exit() path. During exit(), the threads need
to do some cleanups that require real-time mutex locks, mainly those
related to memory management, resulting in this scenario:
Note: locks are rt_mutexes...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TASK A: TASK B: TASK C:
activation
activation
activation
lock(a): OK! lock(b): OK!
<overrun runtime>
lock(a)
-> block (task A owns it)
-> self notice/set throttled
+--< -> arm replenished timer
| switch-out
| lock(b)
| -> <C prio > B prio>
| -> boost TASK B
| unlock(a) switch-out
| -> handle lock a to B
| -> wakeup(B)
| -> B is throttled:
| -> do not enqueue
| switch-out
|
|
+---------------------> replenishment timer
-> TASK B is boosted:
-> do not enqueue
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOM: TASK B is runnable but !enqueued, holding TASK C: the system
crashes with hung task C.
This problem is avoided by removing the throttle state from the boosted
thread while boosting it (by TASK A in the example above), allowing it to
be queued and run boosted.
The next replenishment will take care of the runtime overrun, pushing
the deadline further away. See the "while (dl_se->runtime <= 0)" on
replenish_dl_entity() for more information.

When a boosted task gets throttled, what normally happens is that it's
immediately enqueued again with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH, which replenishes the
runtime and clears the dl_throttled flag. There is a special case however:
if the throttling happened on sched-out and the task has been deboosted in
the meantime, the replenish is skipped as the task will return to its
normal scheduling class. This leaves the task with the dl_throttled flag
set.
Now if the task gets boosted up to the deadline scheduling class again
while it is sleeping, it's still in the throttled state. The normal wakeup
however will enqueue the task with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH not set, so we don't
actually place it on the rq. Thus we end up with a task that is runnable,
but not actually on the rq and neither a immediate replenishment happens,
nor is the replenishment timer set up, so the task is stuck in
forever-throttled limbo.
Clear the dl_throttled flag before dropping back to the normal scheduling
class to fix this issue.

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling
algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization.
This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed
to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous
systems.
A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity
to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms
period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity).
Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission
control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if:
CPU original capacity / 1024 >= task runtime / task deadline
Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which
meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration.
On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission
control should be retained.

The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) admission control ensures that
sum of reserved CPU bandwidth < x * M
where
x = /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_{runtime,period}_us
M = # CPUs in root domain.
DL admission control works well for homogeneous systems where the
capacity of all CPUs are equal (1024). I.e. bounded tardiness for DL
and non-starvation of non-DL tasks is guaranteed.
But on heterogeneous systems where capacity of CPUs are different it
could fail by over-allocating CPU time on smaller capacity CPUs.
On an Arm big.LITTLE/DynamIQ system DL tasks can easily starve other
tasks making it unusable.
Fix this by explicitly considering the CPU capacity in the DL admission
test by replacing M with the root domain CPU capacity sum.

Capacity-aware SCHED_DEADLINE Admission Control (AC) needs root domain
(rd) CPU capacity sum.
Introduce dl_bw_capacity() which for a symmetric rd w/ a CPU capacity
of SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE simply relies on dl_bw_cpus() to return #CPUs
multiplied by SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE.
For an asymmetric rd or a CPU capacity < SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE it
computes the CPU capacity sum over rd span and cpu_active_mask.
A 'XXX Fix:' comment was added to highlight that if 'rq->rd ==
def_root_domain' AC should be performed against the capacity of the
CPU the task is running on rather the rd CPU capacity sum. This
issue already exists w/o capacity awareness.

It turns out there really is something special to the first
set_next_task() invocation. In specific the 'change' pattern really
should not cause balance callbacks.

Commit 67692435c411 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path")
inadvertly introduced a race because it changed a previously
unexplored dependency between dropping the rq->lock and
sched_class::put_prev_task().
The comments about dropping rq->lock, in for example
newidle_balance(), only mentions the task being current and ->on_cpu
being set. But when we look at the 'change' pattern (in for example
sched_setnuma()):
queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */
if (queued)
dequeue_task(...);
if (running)
put_prev_task(...);
/* change task properties */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(...);
if (running)
set_next_task(...);
It becomes obvious that if we do this after put_prev_task() has
already been called on @p, things go sideways. This is exactly what
the commit in question allows to happen when it does:
prev->sched_class->put_prev_task(rq, prev, rf);
if (!rq->nr_running)
newidle_balance(rq, rf);
The newidle_balance() call will drop rq->lock after we've called
put_prev_task() and that allows the above 'change' pattern to
interleave and mess up the state.
Furthermore, it turns out we lost the RT-pull when we put the last DL
task.
Fix both problems by extracting the balancing from put_prev_task() and
doing a multi-class balance() pass before put_prev_task().

Pull core timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Timers and timekeeping updates:
- A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
properly accounted on the task/process.
An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
travel.
- Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
- Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
single function
- Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
affected timers accordingly.
- Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
released by the (hr)timer expiry code.
- Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.

Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.
By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().
This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.
Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.
For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do
balancing, and we could do this before the picking loop. Make this
possible.

Because pick_next_task() implies set_curr_task() and some of the
details haven't mattered too much, some of what _should_ be in
set_curr_task() ended up in pick_next_task, correct this.
This prepares the way for a pick_next_task() variant that does not
affect the current state; allowing remote picking.

{push,pull}_dl_task() always calls {de,}activate_task() with .flags=0
which sets p->on_rq=TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING.
{push,pull}_dl_task()->{de,}activate_task()->{de,en}queue_task()->
{de,en}queue_task_dl() calls {sub,add}_{running,rq}_bw() since
p->on_rq==TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING.
So {sub,add}_{running,rq}_bw() in {push,pull}_dl_task() is
double-accounting for that task.
Fix it by removing rq/running bw accounting in [push/pull]_dl_task().

In commit:
4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")
the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.
As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:
struct task_struct {
const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr;
cpumask_t cpus_mask;
};
with
t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;
In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:
t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));
in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:
- Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
- Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

line 255 of deadline.c is:

Unfortunately, in some cases (for example, a deadline task
continuosly blocking and waking immediately) it can happen that
a task blocks (and task_non_contending() is called) while the
0-lag timer is still active.
In this case, the safest thing to do is to immediately decrease
the running bandwidth of the task, without trying to re-arm the 0-lag timer.

The current implementation of load tracking invariance scales the
contribution with current frequency and uarch performance (only for
utilization) of the CPU. One main result of this formula is that the
figures are capped by current capacity of CPU. Another one is that the
load_avg is not invariant because not scaled with uarch.
The util_avg of a periodic task that runs r time slots every p time slots
varies in the range :
U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) * y^i < Utilization < U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p)
with U is the max util_avg value = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
At a lower capacity, the range becomes:
U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) * y^i' < Utilization < U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p)
with C reflecting the compute capacity ratio between current capacity and
max capacity.
so C tries to compensate changes in (1-y^r') but it can't be accurate.
Instead of scaling the contribution value of PELT algo, we should scale the
running time. The PELT signal aims to track the amount of computation of
tasks and/or rq so it seems more correct to scale the running time to
reflect the effective amount of computation done since the last update.
In order to be fully invariant, we need to apply the same amount of
running time and idle time whatever the current capacity. Because running
at lower capacity implies that the task will run longer, we have to ensure
that the same amount of idle time will be applied when system becomes idle
and no idle time has been "stolen". But reaching the maximum utilization
value (SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) means that the task is seen as an
always-running task whatever the capacity of the CPU (even at max compute
capacity). In this case, we can discard this "stolen" idle times which
becomes meaningless.
In order to achieve this time scaling, a new clock_pelt is created per rq.
The increase of this clock scales with current capacity when something
is running on rq and synchronizes with clock_task when rq is idle. With
this mechanism, we ensure the same running and idle time whatever the
current capacity. This also enables to simplify the pelt algorithm by
removing all references of uarch and frequency and applying the same
contribution to utilization and loads. Furthermore, the scaling is done
only once per update of clock (update_rq_clock_task()) instead of during
each update of sched_entities and cfs/rt/dl_rq of the rq like the current
implementation. This is interesting when cgroup are involved as shown in
the results below:
On a hikey (octo Arm64 platform).

Then, the responsiveness of PELT is improved when CPU is not running at max
capacity with this new algorithm. I have put below some examples of
duration to reach some typical load values according to the capacity of the
CPU with current implementation and with this patch. These values has been
computed based on the geometric series and the half period value:
Util (%) max capacity half capacity(mainline) half capacity(w/ patch)
972 (95%) 138ms not reachable 276ms
486 (47.5%) 30ms 138ms 60ms
256 (25%) 13ms 32ms 26ms
On my hikey (octo Arm64 platform) with schedutil governor, the time to
reach max OPP when starting from a null utilization, decreases from 223ms
with current scale invariance down to 121ms with the new algorithm.

WARN_ON() already contains an unlikely(), so it's not necessary to
use WARN_ON(1).

Go over the scheduler source code and fix common typos
in comments - and a typo in an actual variable name.
No change in functionality intended.
