x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change

2019-05-22T22:15:14Z

commit a74cfffb03b73d41e08f84c2e5c87dec0ce3db9f upstream. arch_smt_update() is only called when the sysfs SMT control knob is changed. This means that when SMT is enabled in the sysfs control knob the system is considered to have SMT active even if all siblings are offline. To allow finegrained control of the speculation mitigations, the actual SMT state is more interesting than the fact that siblings could be enabled. Rework the code, so arch_smt_update() is invoked from each individual CPU hotplug function, and simplify the update function while at it.

sched: Add sched_smt_active()

2019-05-22T22:15:13Z

Add the sched_smt_active() function needed for some x86 speculation mitigations. This was introduced upstream by commits 1b568f0aabf2 "sched/core: Optimize SCHED_SMT", ba2591a5993e "sched/smt: Update sched_smt_present at runtime", c5511d03ec09 "sched/smt: Make sched_smt_present track topology", and 321a874a7ef8 "sched/smt: Expose sched_smt_present static key". The upstream implementation uses the static_key_{disable,enable}_cpuslocked() functions, which aren't practical to backport.

sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()

2015-05-28T09:00:00Z

commit 0782e63bc6fe7e2d3408d250df11d388b7799c6b upstream. Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly: T1 (prio = 10) lock(rtmutex); T2 (prio = 20) lock(rtmutex) boost T1 T1 (prio = 20) sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30) T1 prio = 30 .... sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10) T1 prio = 30 The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20. Commit c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its priority. Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the decision whether a change of the priority is required.

sched/prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in prio.h

2014-02-22T17:14:13Z

Currently there is lots of hard coding to 19 and -20, to represent maximum and minimum of nice values. This patch add three macros in prio.h for maximum, minimum and width of nice value, and uses it to remove hardcoded values in prio.h.

sched/prio: Use DEFAULT_PRIO to define NICE_TO_PRIO() and PRIO_TO_NICE()

2014-02-22T17:11:29Z

There is already a macro named DEFAULT_PRIO in prio.h, we can use it to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE rather than use hard coding of (MAX_RT_PRIO + 20).

sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()

2014-02-22T17:10:04Z

If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler() call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the priority bucket list. If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

sched: Implement task_nice() as static inline function

2014-02-09T14:28:23Z

As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more. This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function, saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

sched: Expose some macros related to priority

2014-02-09T12:31:51Z

Some macros in kernel/sched/sched.h about priority are private to kernel/sched. But they are useful to other parts of the core kernel. This patch moves these macros from kernel/sched/sched.h to include/linux/sched/prio.h so that they are available to other subsystems.
