2023-09-15sched/fair: Fix cfs_rq_is_decayed() on !SMPChengming Zhou
We don't need to maintain per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list on !SMP, since it's used for cfs_rq load tracking & balancing on SMP. But sched debug interface uses it to print per-cfs_rq stats. This patch fixes the !SMP version of cfs_rq_is_decayed(), so the per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list is also maintained correctly on !SMP, to fix the warning in assert_list_leaf_cfs_rq().

sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() doesn't handle NUMA_NO_NODE properly, and may crash kernel if passed with it. On the other hand, the only user of sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() has to check NUMA_NO_NODE case explicitly. It would be easier for users if this logic will get moved into sched_numa_find_nth_cpu().

2023-09-13sched/fair: Fix SMT4 group_smt_balance handlingTim Chen
For SMT4, any group with more than 2 tasks will be marked as group_smt_balance. Retain the behaviour of group_has_spare by marking the busiest group as the group which has the least number of idle_cpus. Also, handle rounding effect of adding (ncores_local + ncores_busy) when the local is fully idle and busy group imbalance is less than 2 tasks. Local group should try to pull at least 1 task in this case so imbalance should be set to 2 instead.

2023-09-11arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architectureArd Biesheuvel
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

2023-09-02sched/fair: Optimize should_we_balance() for large SMT systemsShrikanth Hegde
should_we_balance() is called in load_balance() to find out if the CPU that is trying to do the load balance is the right one or not. With commit: b1bfeab9b002("sched/fair: Consider the idle state of the whole core for load balance") the code tries to find an idle core to do the load balancing and falls back on an idle sibling CPU if there is no idle core. However, on larger SMT systems, it could be needlessly iterating to find a idle by scanning all the CPUs in an non-idle core. If the core is not idle, and first SMT sibling which is idle has been found, then its not needed to check other SMT siblings for idleness Lets say in SMT4, Core0 has 0,2,4,6 and CPU0 is BUSY and rest are IDLE. balancing domain is MC/DIE. CPU2 will be set as the first idle_smt and same process would be repeated for CPU4 and CPU6 but this is unnecessary. Since calling is_core_idle loops through all CPU's in the SMT mask, effect is multiplied by weight of smt_mask. For example,when say 1 CPU is busy, we would skip loop for 2 CPU's and skip iterating over 8CPU's. That effect would be more in DIE/NUMA domain where there are more cores. Testing and performance evaluation ================================== The test has been done on this system which has 12 cores, i.e 24 small cores with SMT=4: lscpu Architecture: ppc64le Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 96 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-95 Model name: POWER10 (architected), altivec supported Thread(s) per core: 8 Used funclatency bcc tool to evaluate the time taken by should_we_balance(). For base tip/sched/core the time taken is collected by making the should_we_balance() noinline. time is in nanoseconds. The values are collected by running the funclatency tracer for 60 seconds. values are average of 3 such runs. This represents the expected reduced time with patch. tip/sched/core was at commit: 2f88c8e802c8 ("sched/eevdf/doc: Modify the documented knob to base_slice_ns as well") Results: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ workload tip/sched/core with_patch(%gain) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ idle system 809.3 695.0(16.45) stress ng – 12 threads -l 100 1013.5 893.1(13.49) stress ng – 24 threads -l 100 1073.5 980.0(9.54) stress ng – 48 threads -l 100 683.0 641.0(6.55) stress ng – 96 threads -l 100 2421.0 2300(5.26) stress ng – 96 threads -l 15 375.5 377.5(-0.53) stress ng – 96 threads -l 25 635.5 637.5(-0.31) stress ng – 96 threads -l 35 934.0 891.0(4.83) Ran schbench(old), hackbench and stress_ng to evaluate the workload performance between tip/sched/core and with patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First") scheduler EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking -- everything LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF: https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/ Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler, but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion, hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of that process - Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster scheduling (again) - Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems - Improve bandwidth-throttling - Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow - Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes * tag 'sched-core-2023-08-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (43 commits) sched/eevdf/doc: Modify the documented knob to base_slice_ns as well sched/eevdf: Curb wakeup-preemption sched: Simplify sched_core_cpu_{starting,deactivate}() sched: Simplify try_steal_cookie() sched: Simplify sched_tick_remote() sched: Simplify sched_exec() sched: Simplify ttwu() sched: Simplify wake_up_if_idle() sched: Simplify: migrate_swap_stop() sched: Simplify sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() sched: Simplify get_nohz_timer_target() sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial value sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in use sched, cgroup: Restore meaning to hierarchical_quota MAINTAINERS: Add Peter explicitly to the psi section sched/psi: Select KERNFS as needed sched/topology: Align group flags when removing degenerate domain sched/fair: remove util_est boosting sched/fair: Propagate enqueue flags into place_entity() ...
2023-08-17sched/eevdf: Curb wakeup-preemptionPeter Zijlstra
Mike and others noticed that EEVDF does like to over-schedule quite a bit -- which does hurt performance of a number of benchmarks / workloads. In particular, what seems to cause over-scheduling is that when lag is of the same order (or larger) than the request / slice then placement will not only cause the task to be placed left of current, but also with a smaller deadline than current, which causes immediate preemption.

2023-08-14sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial valueCyril Hrubis
There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y. This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01: sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 What this test does is to compare the return value from the sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and fails if they do not match. The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as: static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE; which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300: (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000) (1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000) 3 * 30 = 90 This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication and division. After this fix we get: (MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ (1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300 (1000 * 30) / 300 = 100 Fixes: 975e155ed873 ("sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in milliseconds") Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Tested-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230802151906.25258-2-chrubis@suse.cz

2023-08-02sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in usePhil Auld
CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together. Tasks can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does accounting. This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime bandwidth is expected to be enforced. Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to determine if the task requires the tick. Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running. Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.

2023-08-02sched, cgroup: Restore meaning to hierarchical_quotaPhil Auld
In cgroupv2 cfs_b->hierarchical_quota is set to -1 for all task groups due to the previous fix simply taking the min. It should reflect a limit imposed at that level or by an ancestor. Even though cgroupv2 does not require child quota to be less than or equal to that of its ancestors the task group will still be constrained by such a quota so this should be shown here. Cgroupv1 continues to set this correctly. In both cases, add initialization when a new task group is created based on the current parent's value (or RUNTIME_INF in the case of root_task_group). Otherwise, the field is wrong until a quota is changed after creation and __cfs_schedulable() is called.

The flags of the child of a given scheduling domain are used to initialize the flags of its scheduling groups. When the child of a scheduling domain is degenerated, the flags of its local scheduling group need to be updated to align with the flags of its new child domain. The flag SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY was aligned in Commit bf2dc42d6beb ("sched/topology: Propagate SMT flags when removing degenerate domain"). Further generalize this alignment so other flags can be used later, such as in cluster-based task wakeup.

Removes the FAIR_SLEEPERS code in favour of the new LAG based placement. Specifically, the whole FAIR_SLEEPER thing was a very crude approximation to make up for the lack of lag based placement, specifically the 'service owed' part. This is important for things like 'starve' and 'hackbench'. One side effect of FAIR_SLEEPER is that it caused 'small' unfairness, specifically, by always ignoring up-to 'thresh' sleeptime it would have a 50%/50% time distribution for a 50% sleeper vs a 100% runner, while strictly speaking this should (of course) result in a 33%/67% split (as CFS will also do if the sleep period exceeds 'thresh').

2023-07-19sched/fair: Implement an EEVDF-like scheduling policyPeter Zijlstra
Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob, the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter, makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit. Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well, which is what allows over-subscription. EEVDF has two parameters: - weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before - request size, or slice length: which is used to compute the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier. Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a problem.

In order to move to an eligibility based scheduling policy, we need to have a better approximation of the ideal scheduler. Specifically, for a virtual time weighted fair queueing based scheduler the ideal scheduler will be the weighted average of the individual virtual runtimes (math in the comment). As such, compute the weighted average to approximate the ideal scheduler -- note that the approximation is in the individual task behaviour, which isn't strictly conformant. Specifically consider adding a task with a vruntime left of center, in this case the average will move backwards in time -- something the ideal scheduler would of course never do.

Add complete_on_current_cpu, wake_up_poll_on_current_cpu helpers to wake up tasks on the current CPU. These two helpers are useful when the task needs to make a synchronous context switch to another task. In this context, synchronous means it wakes up the target task and falls asleep right after that. One example of such workloads is seccomp user notifies. This mechanism allows the supervisor process handles system calls on behalf of a target process. While the supervisor is handling an intercepted system call, the target process will be blocked in the kernel, waiting for a response to come back. On-CPU context switches are much faster than regular ones.
