Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with
PROTNONE, unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb
subsystem into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example
h->resv_huge_pages is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very
large number, and the free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable.
This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix
the problem. And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor
faults.

When a CPU is kicked to do nohz idle balancing, it wakes up to do load
balancing on itself, followed by load balancing on behalf of idle CPUs.
But it may end up with load after the load balancing attempt on itself.
This aborts nohz idle balancing. As a result several idle CPUs are left
without tasks till such a time that an ILB CPU finds it unfavorable to
pull tasks upon itself. This delays spreading of load across idle CPUs
and worse, clutters only a few CPUs with tasks.
The effect of the above problem was observed on an SMT8 POWER server
with 2 levels of numa domains. Busy loops equal to number of cores were
spawned. Since load balancing on fork/exec is discouraged across numa
domains, all busy loops would start on one of the numa domains. However
it was expected that eventually one busy loop would run per core across
all domains due to nohz idle load balancing. But it was observed that it
took as long as 10 seconds to spread the load across numa domains.
Further investigation showed that this was a consequence of the
following:
1. An ILB CPU was chosen from the first numa domain to trigger nohz idle
load balancing [Given the experiment, upto 6 CPUs per core could be
potentially idle in this domain.]
2. However the ILB CPU would call load_balance() on itself before
initiating nohz idle load balancing.
3. Given cores are SMT8, the ILB CPU had enough opportunities to pull
tasks from its sibling cores to even out load.
4. Now that the ILB CPU was no longer idle, it would abort nohz idle
load balancing
As a result the opportunities to spread load across numa domains were
lost until such a time that the cores within the first numa domain had
equal number of tasks among themselves. This is a pretty bad scenario,
since the cores within the first numa domain would have as many as 4
tasks each, while cores in the neighbouring numa domains would all
remain idle.
Fix this, by checking if a CPU was woken up to do nohz idle load
balancing, before it does load balancing upon itself. This way we allow
idle CPUs across the system to do load balancing which results in
quicker spread of load, instead of performing load balancing within the
local sched domain hierarchy of the ILB CPU alone under circumstances
such as above.

Currently the freq invariant accounting (in
__update_entity_runnable_avg() and sched_rt_avg_update()) get the
scale factor from a weak function call, this means that even for archs
that default on their implementation the compiler cannot see into this
function and optimize the extra scaling math away.
This is sad, esp. since its a 64-bit multiplication which can be quite
costly on some platforms.
So replace the weak function with #ifdef and __always_inline goo. This
is not quite as nice from an arch support PoV but should at least
result in compile time errors if done wrong.

When a CPU is used to handle a lot of IRQs or some RT tasks, the remaining
capacity for CFS tasks can be significantly reduced. Once we detect such
situation by comparing cpu_capacity_orig and cpu_capacity, we trig an idle
load balance to check if it's worth moving its tasks on an idle CPU.
It's worth trying to move the task before the CPU is fully utilized to
minimize the preemption by irq or RT tasks.
Once the idle load_balance has selected the busiest CPU, it will look for an
active load balance for only two cases:
- There is only 1 task on the busiest CPU.
- We haven't been able to move a task of the busiest rq.
A CPU with a reduced capacity is included in the 1st case, and it's worth to
actively migrate its task if the idle CPU has got more available capacity for
CFS tasks. This test has been added in need_active_balance.
As a sidenote, this will not generate more spurious ilb because we already
trig an ilb if there is more than 1 busy cpu. If this cpu is the only one that
has a task, we will trig the ilb once for migrating the task.
The nohz_kick_needed function has been cleaned up a bit while adding the new
test
env.src_cpu and env.src_rq must be set unconditionnally because they are used
in need_active_balance which is called even if busiest->nr_running equals 1

The scheduler tries to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle by
assuming that a task's load is SCHED_LOAD_SCALE and a CPU's capacity is
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE.
'struct sg_lb_stats:group_capacity_factor' divides the capacity of the group
by SCHED_LOAD_SCALE to estimate how many task can run in the group. Then, it
compares this value with the sum of nr_running to decide if the group is
overloaded or not.
But the 'group_capacity_factor' concept is hardly working for SMT systems, it
sometimes works for big cores but fails to do the right thing for little cores.
Below are two examples to illustrate the problem that this patch solves:
1- If the original capacity of a CPU is less than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
(640 as an example), a group of 3 CPUS will have a max capacity_factor of 2
(div_round_closest(3x640/1024) = 2) which means that it will be seen as
overloaded even if we have only one task per CPU.
2 - If the original capacity of a CPU is greater than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
(1512 as an example), a group of 4 CPUs will have a capacity_factor of 4
(at max and thanks to the fix [0] for SMT system that prevent the apparition
of ghost CPUs) but if one CPU is fully used by rt tasks (and its capacity is
reduced to nearly nothing), the capacity factor of the group will still be 4
(div_round_closest(3*1512/1024) = 5 which is cap to 4 with [0]).
So, this patch tries to solve this issue by removing capacity_factor and
replacing it with the 2 following metrics:
- The available CPU's capacity for CFS tasks which is already used by
load_balance().
- The usage of the CPU by the CFS tasks. For the latter, utilization_avg_contrib
has been re-introduced to compute the usage of a CPU by CFS tasks.
'group_capacity_factor' and 'group_has_free_capacity' has been removed and replaced
by 'group_no_capacity'. We compare the number of task with the number of CPUs and
we evaluate the level of utilization of the CPUs to define if a group is
overloaded or if a group has capacity to handle more tasks.
For SD_PREFER_SIBLING, a group is tagged overloaded if it has more than 1 task
so it will be selected in priority (among the overloaded groups). Since [1],
SD_PREFER_SIBLING is no more concerned by the computation of 'load_above_capacity'
because local is not overloaded.

sg_lb_stats::group_usage
Monitor the usage level of each group of each sched_domain level. The usage is
the portion of cpu_capacity_orig that is currently used on a CPU or group of
CPUs. We use the utilization_load_avg to evaluate the usage level of each
group.
The utilization_load_avg only takes into account the running time of the CFS
tasks on a CPU with a maximum value of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE when the CPU is fully
utilized. Nevertheless, we must cap utilization_load_avg which can be
temporally greater than SCHED_LOAD_SCALE after the migration of a task on this
CPU and until the metrics are stabilized.
The utilization_load_avg is in the range [0..SCHED_LOAD_SCALE] to reflect the
running load on the CPU whereas the available capacity for the CFS task is in
the range [0..cpu_capacity_orig]. In order to test if a CPU is fully utilized
by CFS tasks, we have to scale the utilization in the cpu_capacity_orig range
of the CPU to get the usage of the latter. The usage can then be compared with
the available capacity (ie cpu_capacity) to deduct the usage level of a CPU.
The frequency scaling invariance of the usage is not taken into account in this
patch, it will be solved in another patch which will deal with frequency
scaling invariance on the utilization_load_avg.

This new field 'cpu_capacity_orig' reflects the original capacity of a CPU
before being altered by rt tasks and/or IRQ
The cpu_capacity_orig will be used:
- to detect when the capacity of a CPU has been noticeably reduced so we can
trig load balance to look for a CPU with better capacity. As an example, we
can detect when a CPU handles a significant amount of irq
(with CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING) but this CPU is seen as an idle CPU by
scheduler whereas CPUs, which are really idle, are available.
- evaluate the available capacity for CFS tasks

The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute
capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled
down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity
must also be invariant with frequency scaling.
A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for
computing scale_rt_capacity.
In sched_rt_avg_update(), we now scale the RT execution time like below:
rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE * available / total
with available = total - rq->rt_avg
This has been been optimized in current code by:
scale_rt_capacity = available / (total >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT)
But we can also developed the equation like below:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - ((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / total)
and we can optimize the equation by removing SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT shift in
the computation of rq->rt_avg and scale_rt_capacity().
so rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity()
and
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - (rq->rt_avg / total)
arch_scale_frequency_capacity() will be called in the hot path of the scheduler
which implies to have a short and efficient function.
As an example, arch_scale_frequency_capacity() should return a cached value that
is updated periodically outside of the hot path.

Apply frequency scale-invariance correction factor to usage tracking.
Each segment of the running_avg_sum geometric series is now scaled by the
current frequency so the utilization_avg_contrib of each entity will be
invariant with frequency scaling.
As a result, utilization_load_avg which is the sum of utilization_avg_contrib,
becomes invariant too. So the usage level that is returned by get_cpu_usage(),
stays relative to the max frequency as the cpu_capacity which is is compared against.
Then, we want the keep the load tracking values in a 32-bit type, which implies
that the max value of {runnable|running}_avg_sum must be lower than
2^32/88761=48388 (88761 is the max weigth of a task). As LOAD_AVG_MAX = 47742,
arch_scale_freq_capacity() must return a value less than
(48388/47742) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT = 1037 (SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY = 1024).
So we define the range to [0..SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY] in order to avoid overflow.

Now that arch_scale_cpu_capacity has been introduced to scale the original
capacity, the arch_scale_freq_capacity is no longer used (it was
previously used by ARM arch).
Remove arch_scale_freq_capacity from the computation of cpu_capacity.
The frequency invariance will be handled in the load tracking and not in
the CPU capacity. arch_scale_freq_capacity will be revisited for scaling
load with the current frequency of the CPUs in a later patch.

Add usage contribution tracking for group entities. Unlike
se->avg.load_avg_contrib, se->avg.utilization_avg_contrib for group
entities is the sum of se->avg.utilization_avg_contrib for all entities on the
group runqueue.
It is _not_ influenced in any way by the task group h_load. Hence it is
representing the actual cpu usage of the group, not its intended load
contribution which may differ significantly from the utilization on
lightly utilized systems.

Add new statistics which reflect the average time a task is running on the CPU
and the sum of these running time of the tasks on a runqueue. The latter is
named utilization_load_avg.
This patch is based on the usage metric that was proposed in the 1st
versions of the per-entity load tracking patchset by Paul Turner
<pjt@google.com> but that has be removed afterwards. This version differs from
the original one in the sense that it's not linked to task_group.
The rq's utilization_load_avg will be used to check if a rq is overloaded or
not instead of trying to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle.
Rename runnable_avg_period into avg_period as it is now used with both
runnable_avg_sum and running_avg_sum.
Add some descriptions of the variables to explain their differences.

Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:
- 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
- default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
- 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask
- 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi
smp_call_function_many
- native_flush_tlb_others

ptep_clear_flush
try_to_unmap_one
rmap_walk
try_to_unmap
migrate_pages
migrate_misplaced_page
- handle_mm_fault
- 99.73% __do_page_fault
trace_do_page_fault
do_async_page_fault
+ async_page_fault
0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi
generic_exec_single
smp_call_function_single
This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

Commit 81907478c431 ("sched/fair: Avoid using uninitialized variable
in preferred_group_nid()") unconditionally initializes max_group with
NODE_MASK_NONE, this means that when !max_faults (max_group didn't get
set), we'll now continue the iteration with an empty mask.
Which in turn makes the actual body of the loop go away, so we'll just
iterate until completion; short circuit this by breaking out of the
loop as soon as this would happen.

There is a subtle interaction between the logic introduced in commit
e63da03639cc ("sched/numa: Allow task switch if load imbalance improves"),
the way the load balancer counts the load on each NUMA node, and the way
NUMA hinting faults are done.
Specifically, the load balancer only counts currently running tasks
in the load, while NUMA hinting faults may cause tasks to stop, if
the page is locked by another task.
This could cause all of the threads of a large single instance workload,
like SPECjbb2005, to migrate to the same NUMA node. This was possible
because occasionally they all fault on the same few pages, and only one
of the threads remains runnable. That thread can move to the process's
preferred NUMA node without making the imbalance worse, because nothing
else is running at that time.
The fix is to check the direction of the net moving of load, and to
refuse a NUMA move if it would cause the system to move past the point
of balance. In an unbalanced state, only moves that bring us closer
to the balance point are allowed.

At least some gcc versions - validly afaict - warn about potentially
using max_group uninitialized: There's no way the compiler can prove
that the body of the conditional where it and max_faults get set/
updated gets executed; in fact, without knowing all the details of
other scheduler code, I can't prove this either.
Generally the necessary change would appear to be to clear max_group
prior to entering the inner loop, and break out of the outer loop when
it ends up being all clear after the inner one. This, however, seems
inefficient, and afaict the same effect can be achieved by exiting the
outer loop when max_faults is still zero after the inner loop.
[ mingo: changed the solution to zero initialization: uninitialized_var()
needs to die, as it's an actively dangerous construct: if in the future
a known-proven-good piece of code is changed to have a true, buggy
uninitialized variable, the compiler warning is then supressed...
The better long term solution is to clean up the code flow, so that
even simple minded compilers (and humans!) are able to read it without
getting a headache. ]

The original purpose of rq::skip_clock_update was to avoid 'costly' clock
updates for back to back wakeup-preempt pairs. The big problem with it
has always been that the rq variable is unaware of the context and
causes indiscrimiate clock skips.
Rework the entire thing and create a sense of context by only allowing
schedule() to skip clock updates. (XXX can we measure the cost of the
added store?)
By ensuring only schedule can ever skip an update, we guarantee we're
never more than 1 tick behind on the update.

Child has the same decay_count as parent. If it's not zero,
we add it to parent's cfs_rq->removed_load:
wake_up_new_task()->set_task_cpu()->migrate_task_rq_fair().
Child's load is a just garbade after copying of parent,
it hasn't been on cfs_rq yet, and it must not be added to
cfs_rq::removed_load in migrate_task_rq_fair().
The patch moves sched_entity::avg::decay_count intialization
in sched_fork(). So, migrate_task_rq_fair() does not change
removed_load.

In __synchronize_entity_decay(), if "decays" happens to be zero,
se->avg.decay_count will not be zeroed, holding the positive value
assigned when dequeued last time.
This is problematic in the following case:
If this runnable task is CFS-balanced to other CPUs soon afterwards,
migrate_task_rq_fair() will treat it as a blocked task due to its
non-zero decay_count, thereby adding its load to cfs_rq->removed_load
wrongly.
Thus, we must zero se->avg.decay_count in this case as well.

Commit caeb178c60f4 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() return
'true' on a busier sd") changes groups to be ranked in the order of
overloaded > imbalance > other, and busiest group is picked according
to this order.
sgs->group_capacity_factor is used to check if the group is overloaded.
When the child domain prefers tasks to go to siblings first, the
sgs->group_capacity_factor will be set lower than one in order to
move all the excess tasks away.
However, group overloaded status is not updated when
sgs->group_capacity_factor is set to lower than one, which leads to us
missing to find the busiest group.
This patch fixes it by updating group overloaded status when sg capacity
factor is set to one, in order to find the busiest group accurately.

Commit d670ec13178d0 "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles" fixes one glibc
test case in cost of breaking another one. After that commit, calling
clock_nanosleep(TIMER_ABSTIME, X) and then clock_gettime(&Y) can result
of Y time being smaller than X time.
Reproducer/tester can be found further below, it can be compiled and ran by:
gcc -o tst-cpuclock2 tst-cpuclock2.c -pthread
while ./tst-cpuclock2 ; do : ; done
This reproducer, when running on a buggy kernel, will complain
about "clock_gettime difference too small".
Issue happens because on start in thread_group_cputimer() we initialize
sum_exec_runtime of cputimer with threads runtime not yet accounted and
then add the threads runtime to running cputimer again on scheduler
tick, making it's sum_exec_runtime bigger than actual threads runtime.
KOSAKI Motohiro posted a fix for this problem, but that patch was never
applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/26/191 .
This patch takes different approach to cure the problem. It calls
update_curr() when cputimer starts, that assure we will have updated
stats of running threads and on the next schedule tick we will account
only the runtime that elapsed from cputimer start. That also assure we
have consistent state between cpu times of individual threads and cpu
time of the process consisted by those threads.

This patch simplifies task_struct by removing the four numa_* pointers
in the same array and replacing them with the array pointer. By doing this,
on x86_64, the size of task_struct is reduced by 3 ulong pointers (24 bytes on
x86_64).
A new parameter is added to the task_faults_idx function so that it can return
an index to the correct offset, corresponding with the old precalculated
pointers.
All of the code in sched/ that depended on task_faults_idx and numa_* was
changed in order to match the new logic.

In pseudo-interleaved numa_groups, all tasks try to relocate to
the group's preferred_nid. When a group is spread across multiple
NUMA nodes, this can lead to tasks swapping their location with
other tasks inside the same group, instead of swapping location with
tasks from other NUMA groups. This can keep NUMA groups from converging.
Examining all nodes, when dealing with a task in a pseudo-interleaved
NUMA group, avoids this problem. Note that only CPUs in nodes that
improve the task or group score are examined, so the loop isn't too
bad.

On systems with complex NUMA topologies, the node scoring is adjusted
to allow workloads to converge on nodes that are near each other.
The way a task group's preferred nid is determined needs to be adjusted,
in order for the preferred_nid to be consistent with group_weight scoring.
This ensures that we actually try to converge workloads on adjacent nodes.

In order to do task placement on systems with complex NUMA topologies,
it is necessary to count the faults on nodes nearby the node that is
being examined for a potential move.
In case of a system with a backplane interconnect, we are dealing with
groups of NUMA nodes; each of the nodes within a group is the same number
of hops away from nodes in other groups in the system. Optimal placement
on this topology is achieved by counting all nearby nodes equally. When
comparing nodes A and B at distance N, nearby nodes are those at distances
smaller than N from nodes A or B.
Placement strategy on a system with a glueless mesh NUMA topology needs
to be different, because there are no natural groups of nodes determined
by the hardware. Instead, when dealing with two nodes A and B at distance
N, N >= 2, there will be intermediate nodes at distance < N from both nodes
A and B. Good placement can be achieved by right shifting the faults on
nearby nodes by the number of hops from the node being scored. In this
context, a nearby node is any node less than the maximum distance in the
system away from the node. Those nodes are skipped for efficiency reasons,
there is no real policy reason to do so.
Placement policy on directly connected NUMA systems is not affected.

While offling node by hot removing memory, the following divide error
occurs:
divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
Call Trace:
[...] handle_mm_fault
[...] ? try_to_wake_up
[...] ? wake_up_state
[...] __do_page_fault
[...] ? do_futex

[...] ? __switch_to

[...] page_fault
[...]
RIP [<ffffffff810a7081>] task_numa_fault
RSP <ffff88084eb2bcb0>
The issue occurs as follows:
1. When page fault occurs and page is allocated from node 1,
task_struct->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 1 is
incremented and p->numa_faults_locality[] is also incremented
as follows:
o numa_faults_buffer_memory[] o numa_faults_locality[]
NR_NUMA_HINT_FAULT_TYPES
| 0 | 1 |
---------------------------------- ----------------------
node 0 | 0 | 0 | remote | 0 |
node 1 | 0 | 1 | locale | 1 |
---------------------------------- ----------------------
2. node 1 is offlined by hot removing memory.
3. When page fault occurs, fault_types[] is calculated by using
p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of all online nodes in
task_numa_placement(). But node 1 was offline by step 2. So
the fault_types[] is calculated by using only
p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 0. So both of fault_types[]
are set to 0.
4. The values(0) of fault_types[] pass to update_task_scan_period().
5. numa_faults_locality[1] is set to 1. So the following division is
calculated.
static void update_task_scan_period(struct task_struct *p,
unsigned long shared, unsigned long private){
...
ratio = DIV_ROUND_UP(private * NUMA_PERIOD_SLOTS, (private + shared));
}
6. But both of private and shared are set to 0. So divide error
occurs here.
The divide error is rare case because the trigger is node offline.
This patch always increments denominator for avoiding divide error.

Unlocked access to dst_rq->curr in task_numa_compare() is racy.
If curr task is exiting this may be a reason of use-after-free:
task_numa_compare() do_exit()
... current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
... release_task()
... ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
... schedule()
rcu_read_lock() ...
cur = ACCESS_ONCE(dst_rq->curr) ...
... rq->curr = next;
... context_switch()
... finish_task_switch()
... put_task_struct()
... __put_task_struct()
... free_task_struct()
task_numa_assign() ...
get_task_struct() ...
As noted by Oleg:
<<The lockless get_task_struct(tsk) is only safe if tsk == current
and didn't pass exit_notify(), or if this tsk was found on a rcu
protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()).
IOW, it is only safe if release_task() was not called before we
take rcu_read_lock(), in this case we can rely on the fact that
delayed_put_pid() can not drop the (potentially) last reference
until rcu_read_unlock().
And as Kirill pointed out task_numa_compare()->task_numa_assign()
path does get_task_struct(dst_rq->curr) and this is not safe. The
task_struct itself can't go away, but rcu_read_lock() can't save
us from the final put_task_struct() in finish_task_switch(); this
reference goes away without rcu gp>>
The patch provides simple check of PF_EXITING flag. If it's not set,
this guarantees that call_rcu() of delayed_put_task_struct() callback
hasn't happened yet, so we can safely do get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign().
Locked dst_rq->lock protects from concurrency with the last schedule().
Reusing or unmapping of cur's memory may happen without it.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

1. vma_policy_mof(task) is simply not safe unless task == current,
it can race with do_exit()->mpol_put(). Remove this arg and update
its single caller.
2. vma can not be NULL, remove this check and simplify the code.

Since commit caeb178c60f4 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() ...")
sd_pick_busiest returns a group that can be neither imbalanced nor overloaded
but is only more loaded than others. This change has been introduced to ensure
a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect,
it can also generate useless active migration between groups.
Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an
idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB
is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above
nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core
will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the
task of a busy CPU.
The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system
because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as
you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores
where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu
We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not
only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU.
Before caeb178c60f4f93f1b45c0bc056b5cf6d217b67f, the filtering of such use
case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g:
if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) &&
busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight)
This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest
group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2
groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded,
moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it.
A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following
results:
command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run
The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test.

The code in find_idlest_cpu() looks for the CPU with the smallest load.
However, if multiple CPUs are idle, the first idle CPU is selected
irrespective of the depth of its idle state.
Among the idle CPUs we should pick the one with with the shallowest idle
state, or the latest to have gone idle if all idle CPUs are in the same
state. The later applies even when cpuidle is configured out.
This patch doesn't cover the following issues:
- The idle exit latency of a CPU might be larger than the time needed
to migrate the waking task to an already running CPU with sufficient
capacity, and therefore performance would benefit from task packing
in such case (in most cases task packing is about power saving).
- Some idle states have a non negligible and non abortable entry latency
which needs to run to completion before the exit latency can start.
A concurrent patch series is making this info available to the cpuidle
core. Once available, the entry latency with the idle timestamp could
determine when the exit latency may be effective.
Those issues will be handled in due course. In the mean time, what
is implemented here should improve things already compared to the current
state of affairs.
Based on an initial patch from Daniel Lezcano.

Currently the task always wakes affine on this_cpu if the latter is idle.
Before waking up the task on this_cpu, we check that this_cpu capacity is not
significantly reduced because of RT tasks or irq activity.
Use case where the number of irq and/or the time spent under irq is important
will take benefit of this because the task that is woken up by irq or softirq
will not use the same CPU than irq (and softirq) but a idle one.
