It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more and may improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop overhead matters. This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been tested and reviewed quite thoroughly. Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it. Specifics: - Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough. That required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki, Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann). - Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to the cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash). - Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar). - Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver (Gregory Clement). - Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures for shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang). - Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers a bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki). - Mark the expected switch fall-throughs in the PM QoS core (Gustavo Silva)" * tag 'pm-4.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (23 commits) tick-sched: avoid a maybe-uninitialized warning cpufreq: Drop cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() cpufreq: SCMI: Don't validate the frequency table twice cpufreq: CPPC: Initialize shared perf capabilities of CPUs cpufreq: armada-37xx: Fix clock leak cpufreq: CPPC: Don't set transition_latency cpufreq: ti-cpufreq: Use builtin_platform_driver() cpufreq: intel_pstate: Do not include debugfs.h PM / QoS: mark expected switch fall-throughs cpuidle: Add definition of residency to sysfs documentation time: hrtimer: Use timerqueue_iterate_next() to get to the next timer nohz: Avoid duplication of code related to got_idle_tick nohz: Gather tick_sched booleans under a common flag field cpuidle: menu: Avoid selecting shallow states with stopped tick cpuidle: menu: Refine idle state selection for running tick sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick time: hrtimer: Introduce hrtimer_next_event_without() time: tick-sched: Split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select() jiffies: Introduce USER_TICK_USEC and redefine TICK_USEC ...
| * sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tickRafael J. Wysocki2018-04-091-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped, reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the "nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not to stop the tick. This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer event and the number returned by the latter comes from __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). Fortunately, however, it is possible to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with the help of the existing code. Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the next non-highres timer event. If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event() need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again. If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock event device. In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(), however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded, which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event(). That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption that the tick will be stopped. It can be returned to the idle governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the selected idle state. With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not necessary any more, so drop it.

| * cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select()Rafael J. Wysocki2018-04-061-1/+3

Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through it if: (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or (2) the selected state is a polling one, or (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period range. In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor values. To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update() behavior when tick wakeup occurs. Namely, if the CPU is woken up by the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time. Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make cpuidle_idle_call() decide whether or not to stop the tick. First, the cpuidle_enter_s2idle() path deals with the tick (and with the entire timekeeping for that matter) by itself and it doesn't need the tick to be stopped beforehand. Second, to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the tick has been stopped, it will be necessary to change the ordering of cpuidle_select() with respect to tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). To prepare for that, put a tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() call in the same branch in which cpuidle_select() is called. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * sched: idle: Do not stop the tick upfront in the idle loopRafael J. Wysocki2018-04-051-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Push the decision whether or not to stop the tick somewhat deeper into the idle loop. Stopping the tick upfront leads to unpleasant outcomes in case the idle governor doesn't agree with the nohz code on the duration of the upcoming idle period. Specifically, if the tick has been stopped and the idle governor predicts short idle, the situation is bad regardless of whether or not the prediction is accurate. If it is accurate, the tick has been stopped unnecessarily which means excessive overhead. If it is not accurate, the CPU is likely to spend too much time in the (shallow, because short idle has been predicted) idle state selected by the governor [1]. As the first step towards addressing this problem, change the code to make the tick stopping decision inside of the loop in do_idle(). In particular, do not stop the tick in the cpu_idle_poll() code path. Also don't do that in tick_nohz_irq_exit() which doesn't really have enough information on whether or not to stop the tick.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to avoid stopping the tick in some cases. The idea is to split the nohz idle entry call to decouple the idle time stats accounting and preparatory work from the actual tick stop code, in order to later be able to delay the tick stop once we reach more power-knowledgeable callers. Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside. Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too to retain their current functionality.

* | kernel/fork.c: detect early free of a live mmMark Rutland2018-04-051-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results. This is likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far the culprit remains elusive. Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current task, similar to the existing check for init_mm. This way, we can catch this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN. Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to init_mm. This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.

Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel. At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is better to use use a different calling convention for system calls there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near future. Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific code. This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h" * 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: (109 commits) bpf: whitelist all syscalls for error injection kernel/sys_ni: remove {sys_,sys_compat} from cond_syscall definitions kernel/sys_ni: sort cond_syscall() entries syscalls/x86: auto-create compat_sys_*() prototypes syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.h net: remove compat_sys_*() prototypes from net/compat.h syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/syscalls.h kexec: move sys_kexec_load() prototype to syscalls.h x86/sigreturn: use SYSCALL_DEFINE0 x86: fix sys_sigreturn() return type to be long, not unsigned long x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm() mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead() mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff() mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64() fs: add ksys_fallocate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_fallocate() fs: add ksys_p{read,write}64() helpers; remove in-kernel calls to syscalls fs: add ksys_truncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_truncate() fs: add ksys_sync_file_range helper(); remove in-kernel calls to syscall kernel: add ksys_setsid() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_setsid() kernel: add ksys_unshare() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_unshare() ...

The wait_var_event() API is based on the very same hashed-waitqueue idea, but doesn't care about the type (atomic_t) or the specific condition (atomic_read() == 0). IOW. it's much more widely applicable/flexible. It shares all the benefits/disadvantages of a hashed-waitqueue approach with the existing wait_on_atomic_t/wait_on_bit() APIs. The API is modeled after the existing wait_event() API, but instead of taking a wait_queue_head, it takes an address. This addresses is hashed to obtain a wait_queue_head from the bit_wait_table. Similar to the wait_event() API, it takes a condition expression as second argument and will wait until this expression becomes true. The following are (mostly) identical replacements: wait_on_atomic_t(&my_atomic, atomic_t_wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); wake_up_atomic_t(&my_atomic); wait_var_event(&my_atomic, !atomic_read(&my_atomic)); wake_up_var(&my_atomic); The only difference is that wake_up_var() is an unconditional wakeup and doesn't check the previously hard-coded (atomic_read() == 0) condition here. This is of little concequence, since most callers are already conditional on atomic_dec_and_test() and the ones that are not, are trivial to make so.

However, to keep overheads under control, PELT signals are effectively updated at maximum once every 1ms. Thus, for really short running tasks, it can happen that their util_avg value has not been updates since their last enqueue. If such tasks are also frequently running tasks (e.g. the kind of workload generated by hackbench) it can also happen that their util_avg is updated only every few activations. This means that updating util_est at every dequeue potentially introduces not necessary overheads and it's also conceptually wrong if the util_avg signal has never been updated during a task activation. Let's introduce a throttling mechanism on task's util_est updates to sync them with util_avg updates. To make the solution memory efficient, both in terms of space and load/store operations, we encode a synchronization flag into the LSB of util_est.enqueued. This makes util_est an even values only metric, which is still considered good enough for its purpose. The synchronization bit is (re)set by __update_load_avg_se() once the PELT signal of a task has been updated during its last activation. Such a throttling mechanism allows to keep under control util_est overheads in the wakeup hot path, thus making it a suitable mechanism which can be enabled also on high-intensity workload systems. Thus, this now switches on by default the estimation utilization scheduler feature.

In certain scenarios this can have undesired side effects and delays on frequency selection. For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, a long sleeping big task newly enqueued does not add immediately a significant contribution to the target CPU. This introduces some latency before schedutil will be able to detect the best frequency required by that task. Moreover, the PELT signal build-up time is a function of the current frequency, because of the scale invariant load tracking support. Thus, starting from a lower frequency, the utilization build-up time will increase even more and further delays the selection of the actual frequency which better serves the task requirements. In order to reduce these kind of latencies, we integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization in the sugov_get_util function. This allows to properly consider the expected utilization of a CPU which, for example, has just got a big task running after a long sleep period. Ultimately this allows to select the best frequency to run a task right after its wake-up.

In certain scenarios this can have undesired side effects on task placement. For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, when a long sleeping big task is enqueued it does not add immediately a significant contribution to the target CPU. As a result we generate a race condition where other tasks can be placed on the same CPU while it is still considered relatively empty. In order to reduce this kind of race conditions, this patch introduces the required support to integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization in the wakeup path, via cpu_util_wake(), as well as in the load-balance path, via cpu_util() which is used by update_sg_lb_stats(). The estimated utilization of a CPU is defined to be the maximum between its PELT's utilization and the sum of the estimated utilization (at previous dequeue time) of all the tasks currently RUNNABLE on that CPU. This allows to properly represent the spare capacity of a CPU which, for example, has just got a big task running since a long sleep period.

| * | | sched/fair: Add util_est on top of PELTPatrick Bellasi2018-03-203-6/+125

For example, a big task waking up after a long sleep period will have its utilization almost completely decayed. This introduces some latency before schedutil will be able to pick the best frequency to run a task. The same issue can affect task placement. Indeed, since the task utilization is already decayed at wakeup, when the task is enqueued in a CPU, this can result in a CPU running a big task as being temporarily represented as being almost empty. This leads to a race condition where other tasks can be potentially allocated on a CPU which just started to run a big task which slept for a relatively long period. Moreover, the PELT utilization of a task can be updated every [ms], thus making it a continuously changing value for certain longer running tasks. This means that the instantaneous PELT utilization of a RUNNING task is not really meaningful to properly support scheduler decisions. For all these reasons, a more stable signal can do a better job of representing the expected/estimated utilization of a task/cfs_rq. Such a signal can be easily created on top of PELT by still using it as an estimator which produces values to be aggregated on meaningful events. This patch adds a simple implementation of util_est, a new signal built on top of PELT's util_avg where: util_est(task) = max(task::util_avg, f(task::util_avg@dequeue)) This allows to remember how big a task has been reported by PELT in its previous activations via f(task::util_avg@dequeue), which is the new _task_util_est(struct task_struct*) function added by this patch. If a task should change its behavior and it runs longer in a new activation, after a certain time its util_est will just track the original PELT signal (i.e. task::util_avg). The estimated utilization of cfs_rq is defined only for root ones. That's because the only sensible consumer of this signal are the scheduler and schedutil when looking for the overall CPU utilization due to FAIR tasks. For this reason, the estimated utilization of a root cfs_rq is simply defined as: util_est(cfs_rq) = max(cfs_rq::util_avg, cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued) where: cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued = sum(_task_util_est(task)) for each RUNNABLE task on that root cfs_rq It's worth noting that the estimated utilization is tracked only for objects of interests, specifically: - Tasks: to better support tasks placement decisions - root cfs_rqs: to better support both tasks placement decisions as well as frequencies selection Signed-off-by: Patrick Bellasi <patrick.bellasi@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Cc: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Rafael J .

However this residual tick is a burden for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want to minimize them. The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick() implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter and don't seem to be accessed locally. Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation "isolcpus=nohz,domain".

First, there are more gains than losses with this patch applied and a reduction in system CPU usage: nas-omp 4.16.0-rc1 4.16.0-rc1 sdnuma-v2r1 delayretry-v2r1 Time bt.D 436.71 ( 0.00%) 430.05 ( 1.53%) Time cg.D 201.02 ( 0.00%) 180.87 ( 10.02%) Time ep.D 32.84 ( 0.00%) 32.68 ( 0.49%) Time is.D 9.63 ( 0.00%) 9.64 ( -0.10%) Time lu.D 331.20 ( 0.00%) 304.80 ( 7.97%) Time mg.D 54.87 ( 0.00%) 52.72 ( 3.92%) Time sp.D 1108.78 ( 0.00%) 917.10 ( 17.29%) Time ua.D 378.81 ( 0.00%) 398.83 ( -5.28%) 4.16.0-rc1 4.16.0-rc1 sdnuma-v2r1delayretry-v2r1 User 305633.08 296751.91 System 451.75 357.80 Elapsed 2595.73 2368.13 However, it does not close the gap between binding and being unbound. There is negligible difference between the performance of the baseline and a patched kernel when threads are bound so it is not presented here: 4.16.0-rc1 4.16.0-rc1 delayretry-bind delayretry-unbound Time bt.D 385.02 ( 0.00%) 430.05 ( -11.70%) Time cg.D 144.02 ( 0.00%) 180.87 ( -25.59%) Time ep.D 32.85 ( 0.00%) 32.68 ( 0.52%) Time is.D 10.52 ( 0.00%) 9.64 ( 8.37%) Time lu.D 285.31 ( 0.00%) 304.80 ( -6.83%) Time mg.D 43.21 ( 0.00%) 52.72 ( -22.01%) Time sp.D 820.24 ( 0.00%) 917.10 ( -11.81%) Time ua.D 337.09 ( 0.00%) 398.83 ( -18.32%) 4.16.0-rc1 4.16.0-rc1 delayretry-binddelayretry-unbound User 277731.25 296751.91 System 261.29 357.80 Elapsed 2100.55 2368.13 Unfortunately, while performance is improved by the patch, there is still quite a long way to go before it's equivalent to hard binding. Other workloads like hackbench, tbench, dbench and schbench are barely affected. dbench shows a mix of gains and losses depending on the machine although in general, the results are more stable.
