Introduce sched_short_burst tunable to classify "short-burst" tasks.
These tasks are eligible for packing to avoid overhead associated with
waking up an idle CPU. select_best_cpu() ignores power-cost and selects
the CPU with least wakeup latency which is not loaded with IRQs and
can accommodate this task without exceeding spill limits. The ties are
broken with load followed by previous CPU.
This policy does not affect cluster selection but only CPU selection
in the selected cluster. The tasks eligible for "wakeup-up-idle" and
"boost" are not considered for packing. This policy is applied for
both "fair" and "rt" scheduling class tasks.

The HMP scheduler has two types of task placement boost policies.
(1) boost-on-big policy make use of all big CPUs up to their full capacity
before using the little CPUs. This improves performance on true b.L systems
where the big CPUs have higher efficiency compared to the little CPUs.
(2) boost-on-all policy place the tasks on the CPU having the highest
spare capacity. This policy is optimal for SMP like systems.
The scheduler sets the boost policy to boost-on-big on systems which has
CPUs of different efficiencies. However it is possible that CPUs of the
same micro architecture to have slight difference in efficiency due to
other factors like cache size. Selecting the boost-on-big policy based
on relative difference in efficiency is not optimal on such systems.
The boost-policy device tree property is introduced to specify the
required boost type and it overrides the default selection of boost
type in the scheduler. The possible values for this property are
"boost-on-big" and "boost-on-all".

The current policy has a preference to select an idle CPU in the waker
cluster compared to the waker CPU running only 1 task. By selecting
an idle CPU, it eliminates the chance of waker migrating to a
different CPU after the wakee preempts it. This policy is also not
susceptible to the incorrect "sync" usage i.e the waker does not
goto sleep after waking up the wakee.
However LPM exit latency associated with an idle CPU outweigh the
above benefits on some targets. So add a knob to prefer the waker
CPU having only 1 runnable task over idle CPUs in the waker cluster.

The topic of a single simple power-performance tunable, that is wholly
scheduler centric, and has well defined and predictable properties has
come up on several occasions in the past. With techniques such as a
scheduler driven DVFS, we now have a good framework for implementing
such a tunable.
This patch provides a detailed description of the motivations and design
decisions behind the implementation of the SchedTune.

CONFIG_SCHED_FREQ_INPUT was created to keep parts of the scheduler
dealing with frequency separate from other parts of the scheduler
that deal with task placement. However, overtime the two features
have become intricately linked whereby SCHED_FREQ_INPUT cannot be
turned on without having SCHED_HMP turned on as well. Given this
complex inter-dependency and the fact that all old, existing and
future targets use both config options, remove this unnecessary
feature separation. It will aid in making kernel upgrades a lot
simpler and faster.

Biasing sync wakee task towards waker CPU's cluster makes sense when the
waker's demand is high enough so the wakee also can take advantage
of high CPU frequency voted because of waker's load. Placing sync wakee
on the low demand waker's CPU can lead placement imbalance which can
lead unnecessary migration.
Introduce a new tunable "sched_big_waker_task_load" that defines the big
waker so scheduler avoid wakee on waker's cluster bias when the waker's
load is below the tunable.

[joonwoop@codeaurora.org: fixed a minor conflict in
include/linux/sched/sysctl.h.]
If sync wakee task's demand is small it's worth to place the wakee task
on waker's cluster for better performance in the sense that waker and
wakee are corelated so the wakee should take advantage of waker cluster's
frequency which is voted by the waker along with cache locality benefit.
While biasing towards the waker's cluster we want to avoid the waker CPU
as much as possible as placing the wakee on the waker's CPU can make the
waker got preempted and migrated by load balancer.
Introduce a new tunable 'sched_small_wakee_task_load' that differentiates
eligible small wakee task and place the small wakee tasks on the waker's
cluster.

reliable as frequency does not provide a good estimate of the CPU's
current load. Replace them with the spill_load and spill_nr_run
based checks.
The higher capacity cluster is restricted from pulling the tasks from
the lower capacity cluster unless all of the lower capacity CPUs are
above spill. This behavior can be controlled by a sysctl tunable and
it is disabled by default (i.e. no load balance restrictions).

The load scale factor of a CPU gets boosted when its max freq
is restricted. A task load at the same frequency is scaled higher
than normal under this scenario. This results in tasks migrating
early to the better capacity CPUs and their residency over there
also gets increased as their inflated load would be relatively
higher than than the downmigrate threshold.
Auto adjust the upmigrate and downmigrate thresholds by a factor
equal to rq->max_possible_freq/rq->max_freq of a lower capacity CPU.
If the adjusted upmigrate threshold exceeds the window size, it is
clipped to the window size. If the adjusted downmigrate threshold
decreases the difference between the upmigrate and downmigrate, it is
clipped to a value such that the difference between the modified
and the original thresholds is same.

The scheduler currently either considers a tasks entire wait time as
task demand or completely ignores wait time based on the tunable
sched_account_wait_time. Both approaches have their limitations,
however. The former artificially boosts tasks demand when it may not
actually be justified. With the latter, the scheduler runs the risk
of never being able to recognize true load (consider two CPU hogs on
a single little CPU). To achieve a compromise between these two
extremes, change the load tracking algorithm to only consider part of
a tasks wait time as its demand. The portion of wait time accounted
as demand is determined by each tasks percent load, i.e. a task that
waits for 10ms and has 60 % task load, only 6 ms of the wait will
contribute to task demand. This approach is more fair as the scheduler
now tries to determine how much of its wait time would a task actually
have been using the CPU if it had been executing. It ensures that tasks
with high demand continue to see most of the benefits of accounting
wait time as busy time, however, lower demand tasks don't experience a
disproportionately high boost to demand triggering unjustified big CPU
usage. Note that this new approach is only applicable to wait time
being considered as task demand and not wait time considered as CPU
busy time.
To achieve the above effect, ensure that anytime a task is waiting, its
runtime in every relevant window segment is appropriately adjusted using
its pct load.

sched_prefer_idle flag controls whether tasks can be woken to any
available idle cpu. It may be desirable to set sched_prefer_idle to 0
so that most tasks wake up to non-idle cpus under mostly_idle
threshold and have specialized tasks override this behavior through
other means. PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag per task provides exactly that. It
lets tasks with PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag set be woken up to any available
idle cpu independent of sched_prefer_idle flag setting. Currently
only kernel-space API exists to set PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag for a task.
This patch adds a user-space API (in /proc filesystem) to set
PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag for a given task. /proc/[pid]/sched_wake_up_idle
file can be written to set or clear PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag for a given
task.

sysctl_sched_prefer_idle controls selection of idle cpus for waking
tasks. In some cases, waking to idle cpus help performance while in
other cases it hurts (as tasks incur latency associated with C-state
wakeup). Its ideal if scheduler can adapt prefer_idle behavior based
on the task that is waking up, but that's hard for scheduler to
figure by itself. PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE hint can be provided by external
module/driver in such case to guide scheduler in preferring an idle
cpu for select tasks irrespective of sysctl_sched_prefer_idle flag.
This patch enhances select_best_cpu() to consider PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE
hint. Wakeup posted from any task that has PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE set is a
hint for scheduler to prefer idle cpu for waking tasks. Similarly
scheduler will attempt to place any task with PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE set on
idle cpu when they wakeup.

tunable is only taken into account when migrations occur in the tick
path. Extend the usage of the tunable to take into account the load
balancer (lb) path also.
In addition ensure that the start of task execution on a CPU is updated
correctly. If a task is preempted but still runnable on the same CPU the
start of execution should not be updated. Only update the start of
execution when a task wakes up after sleep or moves to a new CPU.

Power values for cpus can drop quite considerably when it goes idle.
As a result, the best choice for running a single task in a cluster
can vary quite rapidly. As the task keeps hopping cpus, other cpus go
idle and start being seen as more favorable target for running a task,
leading to task migrating almost every scheduler tick!
Prevent this by keeping track of when a task started running on a cpu
and allowing task migration in tick path (migration_needed()) on
account of energy efficiency reasons only if the task has run
sufficiently long (as determined by sysctl_sched_min_runtime
variable).
Note that currently sysctl_sched_min_runtime setting is considered
only in scheduler_tick()->migration_needed() path and not in
idle_balance() path. In other words, a task could be migrated to
another cpu which did a idle_balance(). This limitation should not
affect high-frequency migrations seen typically (when a single
high-demand task runs on high-performance cpu).
