The estimated utilization of a task is currently updated every time the
task is dequeued. 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.

When schedutil looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value for
that CPU is returned straight away. 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.

When the scheduler looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value
for a CPU is returned straight away. 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.

The util_avg signal computed by PELT is too variable for some use-cases.
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

In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.
The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).
1. First start:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles -I 1000
2. Then, in the second console, run:
perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000
The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.
This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A 4.16 regression fix, three fixes for -stable, and a cleanup fix:
- During the merge window support for the new ACPI NVDIMM Platform
Capabilities structure disabled support for "deep flush", a
force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
that mechanism.
- VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.
- The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
block- map collision concerns.
- Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.
- Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
as of the v4.15 kernel.
These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
and the longterm pin fixes have appeared in -next. However, I recently
rebased the tree to remove some other fixes that need to be reworked
after review feedback.
* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
memremap: fix softlockup reports at teardown
libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()
vfio: disable filesystem-dax page pinning
dax: fix vma_is_fsdax() helper
dax: ->direct_access does not sleep anymore
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

Since commit afcc90f862 ("usercopy: WARN() on slab cache usercopy
region violations"), MIPS systems booting with a compat root filesystem
emit a warning when copying compat siginfo to userspace:

Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory exposure attempt

Commit 5905429ad8 ("fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for
task_struct") noted that:
"While the blocked and saved_sigmask fields of task_struct are copied to
userspace (via sigmask_to_save() and setup_rt_frame()), it is always
copied with a static length (i.e. sizeof(sigset_t))."
However, this is not true in the case of compat signals, whose sigset
is copied by put_compat_sigset and receives size as an argument.
At most call sites, put_compat_sigset is copying a sigset from the
current task_struct. This triggers a warning when
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is active. However, by marking this function as
static inline, the warning can be avoided because in all of these cases
the size is constant at compile time, which is allowed. The only site
where this is not the case is handling the rt_sigpending syscall, but
there the copy is being made from a stack local variable so does not
trigger the warning.
Move put_compat_sigset to compat.h, and mark it static inline. This
fixes the WARN on MIPS.

====================
pull-request: bpf 2018-02-28
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add schedule points and reduce the number of loop iterations
the test_bpf kernel module is performing in order to not hog
the CPU for too long, from Eric.
2) Fix an out of bounds access in tail calls in the ppc64 BPF
JIT compiler, from Daniel.
3) Fix a crash on arm64 on unaligned BPF xadd operations that
could be triggered via interpreter and JIT, from Daniel.
Please not that once you merge net into net-next at some point, there
is a minor merge conflict in test_verifier.c since test cases had
been added at the end in both trees. Resolution is trivial: keep all
the test cases from both trees.
