Several conditions can cause an idle cluster to pick up load from a
busy cluster. One such condition is when busy cluster has number of
tasks that exceeds its capacity (or number of cpus). This patch
extends that condition to consider small and big tasks on a cluster.
Too many "small" tasks should not cause them to spill over to another
idle cluster. Like-wise presence of big tasks should be considered
by a cluster to pick up load from another another cluster with lower
capacity.

HMP systems have cpus with different power and performance
characteristics. Some cpus could offer better power at cost of lower
performance while other cpus could offer better performance at cost of
higher power. As a result, bandwidth consumed by a task to do some
"fixed" amount of work could vary across cpus.
Optimal task placement on HMP would involve placing a task on a cpu
where it can meet its performance goals at lowest power cost. Since
kernel has little to no awareness of performance goals of
applications, we guestimate whether task is meeting its performance
goals or not by looking at its cpu bandwidth consumption. High
bandwidth consumption could imply that task's performance can improve
by running on cpus with better capacity/performance-characterisitcs.
This patch makes the basic changes to support HMP. It provides a
configurable threshold and any task consuming bandwidth in excess of
threshold will be placed on a cpu with better capacity.

Note that there may be no single CPU in the system that has both the

combination that all task load in the system is scaled against.
capacity reflects max_freq and efficiency metric of a cpu. It is
defined such that the "least" performing cpu (one with lowest

may not be a CPU in the system that has both the lowest efficiency

where the race condition results in incorrect operation:
- cpu 0 calls put_prev_task on task A, task A's state is TASK_RUNNING
- cpu 0 runs task B, which attempts to wake up A
- cpu 0 begins try_to_wake_up(), recording src_cpu for task A as cpu 0
- cpu 1 then pulls task A (perhaps due to idle balance)
- cpu 1 runs task A, which then sleeps, becoming INTERRUPTIBLE
- cpu 0 continues in try_to_wake_up(), thinking task A's previous
cpu is 0, where it is actually 1
- if select_task_rq returns cpu 0, task A will be woken up on cpu 0
without properly updating its cpu to 0 in set_task_cpu()

Some tasks can have a sporadic load pattern such that they can suddenly
start running for longer intervals of time after running for shorter
durations. To recognize such sharp increase in tasks' demands, max
between the average of 5 window load samples and the most recent sample
is chosen as the task demand.
Make the window size (sched_ravg_window) configurable at boot up
time. To prevent users from setting inappropriate values for window
size, min and max limits are defined. As 'ravg' struct tracks load for
both real-time and non real-time tasks it is moved out of sched_entity
struct.
In order to prevent changing function signatures for move_tasks() and
move_one_task() per-cpu variables are defined to track the total load
moved. In case multiple tasks are selected to migrate in one load
balance operation, loads > 100 could be sent through migration notifiers.
Prevent this scenario by setting mnd.load to 100 in such cases.
Define wrapper functions to compute cpu demands for tasks and to change

Currently we take the maximum between the source CPU frequency and
the calculated frequency based on the migrating task load to decide on
the frequency to sync the destination CPU to. This was done to handle
short bursts in workloads of tasks which migrated immediately after
causing a ramp up on the source CPU. Since their load history wasn't
high enough, the destination CPU synced to a lower frequency which
wasn't sufficient for the spike in workload.
But as such cases are rare, taking the higher of source and calculated
frequency can lead to destination CPU unnecessarily spending a
considerable amount of time at higher frequencies which in turn can
hurt power.
With this change we make sure only the migrating task load is used
to calculate the sync frequency for destination CPU when load based
syncing is enabled.

Previously, on getting a migration notification cpu-boost changed
the scaling min of the destination frequency to match that of the
source frequency or sync_threshold whichever was minimum.
If the scheduler migration notification is extended with task load
(cpu demand) information, the cpu boost driver can use this load to
compute a suitable frequency for the migrating task. The required
frequency for the task is calculated by taking the load percentage
of the max frequency and no sync is performed if the load is less
than a particular value (migration_load_threshold).This change is
beneficial for both perf and power as demand of a task is taken into
consideration while making cpufreq decisions and unnecessary syncs
for lightweight tasks are avoided.
The task load information provided by scheduler comes from a
window-based load collection mechanism which also normalizes the
load collected by the scheduler to the max possible frequency
across all CPUs.

If wake_up() is called on the current task on a CPU, the call will wait
until the current task is switched out before it wakes it up again and
returns.
The sync notifier for a CPU always runs on that CPU.
These two together can result in a deadlock if the sync notifier on CPU A
tries to wake up the sync thread of CPU A as it goes to sleep (is the
current task). A previous commit fixed this by adding a check to the sync
notifier to not wake up the sync thread of CPU A if it's the current task.
But this is still not sufficient to prevent deadlocks.
Sync thread of CPU A could be the current task on CPU B and sync thread of
CPU B could be the current task on CPU A. At this point, if sync notifier
of CPU A and B try to wake up the sync threads of CPU A and B, it will
result in CPU A waiting for the current task in CPU B to get switched out
and CPU B waiting for the current task in CPU A to get switched out. This
will result in a deadlock.
Prevent this scenario from happening by pinning the sync threads of each
CPU to run on that CPU. By doing this, we guarantee that sync notifiers
will only try to wake up sync threads running on that CPU. The fix added by
"cpufreq: cpu-boost: Resolve deadlock when waking up sync thread" ensures a
deadlock doesn't happen when a sync notifier tries to wake up a sync thread
running on that CPU.

CPU boost driver receives notification from scheduler when threads
migrate towards a cpu and in turn wakes up a sync thread associated
with that cpu to handle any required frequency transitions. The wakeup
call however can lead to a deadlock inside scheduler under some
circumstance. The deadlock is seen when sync thread is the only thread
running on a cpu and goes to sleep (say by calling wait_event() ->
schedule()). Midway through this sleep (schedule()) call, while cpu is
still running in context of sync thread, scheduler attempts a load
balance (realizing that cpu is about to become idle) which can result
in tasks being migrated towards the cpu going idle. This will cause
migration notification to be issued and in turn a wakeup on sync
thread. The wakeup call however gets stuck in below while() loop
inside scheduler:
try_to_wake_up(struct task_struct *p, ...)
{
/*
* If the owning (remote) cpu is still in the middle of
* schedule() with this task as prev, wait until its done
* referencing the task.
*/
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax();
}
A possible fix could be to teach try_to_wake_up() about this
special case. Another fix, implemented in this patch and that helps
minimize scheduler changes, is to have cpu boost driver not issue a
wakeup under this special circumstance, which was found to occur very
infrequently.

When certain bursty and important events take place, it might take a while
for the current cpufreq governor to notice the new load and react to it.
That would result in poor user experience. To alleviate this, the cpu-boost
driver boosts the frequency of a CPU for a short duration to maintain good
user experience while the governor catches up.
Specifically, this commit deals with ensuring that when "important" tasks
migrate from a fast CPU to a slow CPU, the frequency of the slow CPU is
boosted to be at least as high as the fast CPU for a short duration.
Since this driver enforces the boost by hooking into standard cpufreq
ADJUST notifiers, it has several advantages:
- More portable across kernel versions where the cpufreq internals might
have been rewritten.
- Governor agnostic and hence works with multiple governors like
conservative, ondemand, interactive, etc.
- Does not affect the sampling period/logic of existing governors.
- Can have the boost period adjusted independent of governor sampling
period.

When doing performance analysis it can be useful to see exactly
what is going on with the load balancer - when it runs and why
exactly it may not be redistributing load.
This additional tracepoint will show the idle context of the
load balance operation (idle, not idle, newly idle), various
values from the load balancing operation, the final result,
and the new balance interval.

try_to_wake_up_local() is called with the rq lock held. Printing to
console in this context can result in a deadlock if klogd needs to
be woken up. Print to the kernel log buffer via printk_sched()
instead which avoids the wakeup.

Add a new tracepoint trace_sched_enq_deq_task to track
per-cpu rt and non-rt cpu_load during task enqueue
and dequeue.
This is useful to visualize and compare the load on
different cpus and also to understand how balanced
the load is at any point of time.
Note: We only print cpu_load[0] because we only care about
the most recent load history for tracking load balancer
effectiveness.

A cpus next_balance point could be stale when its being attached to a
sched domain hierarchy. That would lead to undesirable delay in cpu
doing a load balance and hence potentially affect scheduling
latencies for tasks. Fix that by initializing cpu's next_balance point
when its being attached to a sched domain hierarchy.

On systems where CPUs may run asynchronously, task migrations
between CPUs running at grossly different speeds can cause
problems.
This change provides a mechanism to notify a subsystem
in the kernel if a task in a particular cgroup migrates to a
different CPU. Other subsystems (such as cpufreq) may then
register for this notifier to take appropriate action when
such a task is migrated.
The cgroup attribute to set for this behavior is
"notify_on_migrate" .

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime). It makes use
of a a per-cpu hrtimer resource and hence alarming that hrtimer should
be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a cpu has across its various cfs_rqs,
rather than being based on number of tasks in a particular cfs_rq (as
implemented currently). As a result, with current code, its possible for
a running task (which is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted
much after its ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency
for tasks in other cfs_rq on same cpu.
Fix this by alarming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.

The PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE per-task flag made it impossible to enable
the old behavior of SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, where every task
migrates to an idle CPU on wakeup.
The sched_wake_to_idle sysctl value, when made nonzero, will cause
all tasks to migrate to an idle CPU if one is available when the
task is woken up. This is regardless of how PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE is
configured for tasks in the system. Similar to PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE,
the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES scheduler domain flag must be enabled
for the sysctl value to have an effect.

Certain workloads may benefit from the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES behavior
of waking their tasks up on idle CPUs. The feature has too much of a
negative impact on other workloads however to apply globally. The
PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag tells the scheduler to wake up tasks that have this
flag set, or tasks woken by tasks with this flag set, on an idle CPU
if one is available.

C-state represents a power-state of a cpu. A cpu could have one or
more C-states associated with it. C-state transitions are based on
various factors (expected sleep time for example). "Deeper" C-states
implies longer wakeup latencies.
Scheduler needs to know wakeup latency associated with various C-states.
Having this information allows the scheduler to make better decisions
during task placement. For example:
- Prefer an idle cpu that is in the least shallow C-state
- Avoid waking up small tasks on a idle cpu unless it is in the least
shallow C-state
This patch introduces APIs in the scheduler that can be used by the
architecture specific power-management driver to inform the scheduler
about C-states for cpus.
