profiling: remove profile=sleep support

commit b88f55389ad27f05ed84af9e1026aa64dbfabc9a upstream.

sched/fair: Use all little CPUs for CPU-bound workloads

2024-08-03T06:49:33Z

commit 3af7524b14198f5159a86692d57a9f28ec9375ce upstream. Running N CPU-bound tasks on an N CPUs platform: - with asymmetric CPU capacity - not being a DynamIq system (i.e. having a PKG level sched domain without the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set) .. might result in a task placement where two tasks run on a big CPU and none on a little CPU. This placement could be more optimal by using all CPUs. Testing platform: Juno-r2: - 2 big CPUs (1-2), maximum capacity of 1024 - 4 little CPUs (0,3-5), maximum capacity of 383 Testing workload ([1]): Spawn 6 CPU-bound tasks. During the first 100ms (step 1), each tasks is affine to a CPU, except for: - one little CPU which is left idle. - one big CPU which has 2 tasks affine. After the 100ms (step 2), remove the cpumask affinity. Behavior before the patch: During step 2, the load balancer running from the idle CPU tags sched domains as: - little CPUs: 'group_has_spare'. Cf. group_has_capacity() and group_is_overloaded(), 3 CPU-bound tasks run on a 4 CPUs sched-domain, and the idle CPU provides enough spare capacity regarding the imbalance_pct - big CPUs: 'group_overloaded'. Indeed, 3 tasks run on a 2 CPUs sched-domain, so the following path is used: group_is_overloaded() \-if (sgs->sum_nr_running <= sgs->group_weight) return true; The following path which would change the migration type to 'migrate_task' is not taken: calculate_imbalance() \-if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->imbalance == 0) as the local group has some spare capacity, so the imbalance is not 0. The migration type requested is 'migrate_util' and the busiest runqueue is the big CPU's runqueue having 2 tasks (each having a utilization of 512). The idle little CPU cannot pull one of these task as its capacity is too small for the task. The following path is used: detach_tasks() \-case migrate_util: \-if (util > env->imbalance) goto next; After the patch: As the number of failed balancing attempts grows (with 'nr_balance_failed'), progressively make it easier to migrate a big task to the idling little CPU. A similar mechanism is used for the 'migrate_load' migration type. Improvement: Running the testing workload [1] with the step 2 representing a ~10s load for a big CPU: Before patch: ~19.3s After patch: ~18s (-6.7%) Similar issue reported at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230716014125.139577-1-qyousef@layalina.io/ Suggested-by: Vincent Guittot Signed-off-by: Pierre Gondois Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann Acked-by: Qais Yousef Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231206090043.634697-1-pierre.gondois@arm.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched/fair: set_load_weight() must also call reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks

2024-08-03T06:49:31Z

commit d329605287020c3d1c3b0dadc63d8208e7251382 upstream. When a task's weight is being changed, set_load_weight() is called with @update_load set. As weight changes aren't trivial for the fair class, set_load_weight() calls fair.c::reweight_task() for fair class tasks. However, set_load_weight() first tests task_has_idle_policy() on entry and skips calling reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks. This is buggy as SCHED_IDLE tasks are just fair tasks with a very low weight and they would incorrectly skip load, vlag and position updates. Fix it by updating reweight_task() to take struct load_weight as idle weight can't be expressed with prio and making set_load_weight() call reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks too when @update_load is set.

rcu/tasks: Fix stale task snaphot for Tasks Trace

2024-08-03T06:48:52Z

[ Upstream commit 399ced9594dfab51b782798efe60a2376cd5b724 ] When RCU-TASKS-TRACE pre-gp takes a snapshot of the current task running on all online CPUs, no explicit ordering synchronizes properly with a context switch. This lack of ordering can permit the new task to miss pre-grace-period update-side accesses. The following diagram, courtesy of Paul, shows the possible bad scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- // Pre-GP update side access WRITE_ONCE(*X, 1); smp_mb(); r0 = rq->curr; RCU_INIT_POINTER(rq->curr, TASK_B) spin_unlock(rq) rcu_read_lock_trace() r1 = X; /* ignore TASK_B */ Either r0==TASK_B or r1==1 is needed but neither is guaranteed. One possible solution to solve this is to wait for an RCU grace period at the beginning of the RCU-tasks-trace grace period before taking the current tasks snaphot. However this would introduce large additional latencies to RCU-tasks-trace grace periods. Another solution is to lock the target runqueue while taking the current task snapshot. This ensures that the update side sees the latest context switch and subsequent context switches will see the pre-grace-period update side accesses. This commit therefore adds runqueue locking to cpu_curr_snapshot().

sched: Move psi_account_irqtime() out of update_rq_clock_task() hotpath

2024-07-18T11:18:43Z

commit ddae0ca2a8fe12d0e24ab10ba759c3fbd755ada8 upstream. It was reported that in moving to 6.1, a larger then 10% regression was seen in the performance of clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID,...). Using a simple reproducer, I found: 5.10: 100000000 calls in 24345994193 ns => 243.460 ns per call 100000000 calls in 24288172050 ns => 242.882 ns per call 100000000 calls in 24289135225 ns => 242.891 ns per call 6.1: 100000000 calls in 28248646742 ns => 282.486 ns per call 100000000 calls in 28227055067 ns => 282.271 ns per call 100000000 calls in 28177471287 ns => 281.775 ns per call The cause of this was finally narrowed down to the addition of psi_account_irqtime() in update_rq_clock_task(), in commit 52b1364ba0b1 ("sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure"). In my initial attempt to resolve this, I leaned towards moving all accounting work out of the clock_gettime() call path, but it wasn't very pretty, so it will have to wait for a later deeper rework. Instead, Peter shared this approach: Rework psi_account_irqtime() to use its own psi_irq_time base for accounting, and move it out of the hotpath, calling it instead from sched_tick() and __schedule(). In testing this, we found the importance of ensuring psi_account_irqtime() is run under the rq_lock, which Johannes Weiner helpfully explained, so also add some lockdep annotations to make that requirement clear. With this change the performance is back in-line with 5.10: 6.1+fix: 100000000 calls in 24297324597 ns => 242.973 ns per call 100000000 calls in 24318869234 ns => 243.189 ns per call 100000000 calls in 24291564588 ns => 242.916 ns per call Reported-by: Jimmy Shiu Originally-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Chengming Zhou Reviewed-by: Qais Yousef Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240618215909.4099720-1-jstultz@google.com Fixes: 52b1364ba0b1 ("sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure") [jstultz: Fixed up minor collisions w/ 6.1-stable] Signed-off-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Revert "sched/fair: Make sure to try to detach at least one movable task"

2024-07-18T11:18:37Z

commit 2feab2492deb2f14f9675dd6388e9e2bf669c27a upstream. This reverts commit b0defa7ae03ecf91b8bfd10ede430cff12fcbd06. b0defa7ae03ec changed the load balancing logic to ignore env.max_loop if all tasks examined to that point were pinned. The goal of the patch was to make it more likely to be able to detach a task buried in a long list of pinned tasks. However, this has the unfortunate side effect of creating an O(n) iteration in detach_tasks(), as we now must fully iterate every task on a cpu if all or most are pinned. Since this load balance code is done with rq lock held, and often in softirq context, it is very easy to trigger hard lockups. We observed such hard lockups with a user who affined O(10k) threads to a single cpu. When I discussed this with Vincent he initially suggested that we keep the limit on the number of tasks to detach, but increase the number of tasks we can search. However, after some back and forth on the mailing list, he recommended we instead revert the original patch, as it seems likely no one was actually getting hit by the original issue.

sched/core: Fix incorrect initialization of the 'burst' parameter in cpu_max_write()

2024-06-12T09:03:33Z

[ Upstream commit 49217ea147df7647cb89161b805c797487783fc0 ] In the cgroup v2 CPU subsystem, assuming we have a cgroup named 'test', and we set cpu.max and cpu.max.burst: # echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max # echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst then we check cpu.max and cpu.max.burst: # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max 1000000 100000 # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst 1000000 Next we set cpu.max again and check cpu.max and cpu.max.burst: # echo 2000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max 2000000 100000 # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst 1000 ... we find that the cpu.max.burst value changed unexpectedly. In cpu_max_write(), the unit of the burst value returned by tg_get_cfs_burst() is microseconds, while in cpu_max_write(), the burst unit used for calculation should be nanoseconds, which leads to the bug. To fix it, get the burst value directly from tg->cfs_bandwidth.burst.
