Idle injection drivers such as Intel powerclamp and ACPI PAD drivers use
realtime tasks to take control of CPU then inject idle. There are two
issues with this approach:
1. Low efficiency: injected idle task is treated as busy so sched ticks
do not stop during injected idle period, the result of these
unwanted wakeups can be ~20% loss in power savings.
2. Idle accounting: injected idle time is presented to user as busy.
This patch addresses the issues by introducing a new PF_IDLE flag which
allows any given task to be treated as idle task while the flag is set.
Therefore, idle injection tasks can run through the normal flow of NOHZ
idle enter/exit to get the correct accounting as well as tick stop when
possible.
The implication is that idle task is then no longer limited to PID == 0.

When idle injection is used to cap power, we need to override the
governor's choice of idle states.
For this reason, make it possible the deepest idle state selection to
be enforced by setting a flag on a given CPU to achieve the maximum
potential power draw reduction.

Because autogroup didn't call the then meaningless scale_load()...
Autogroup nice level adjustment has been broken ever since load
resolution was increased for 64-bit kernels. Use scale_load() to
scale group weight.
Michael Kerrisk tested this patch to fix the problem:
> Applied and tested against 4.9-rc6 on an Intel u7 (4 cores).
> Test setup:
>
> Terminal window 1: running 40 CPU burner jobs
> Terminal window 2: running 40 CPU burner jobs
> Terminal window 1: running 1 CPU burner job
>
> Demonstrated that:
> * Writing "0" to the autogroup file for TW1 now causes no change
> to the rate at which the process on the terminal consume CPU.
> * Writing -20 to the autogroup file for TW1 caused those processes
> to get the lion's share of CPU while TW2 TW3 get a tiny amount.
> * Writing -20 to the autogroup files for TW1 and TW3 allowed the
> process on TW3 to get as much CPU as it was getting as when
> the autogroup nice values for both terminals were 0.

The PF_EXITING check in task_wants_autogroup() is no longer needed. Remove
it, but see the next patch.
However the comment is correct in that autogroup_move_group() must always
change task_group() for every thread so the sysctl_ check is very wrong;
we can race with cgroups and even sys_setsid() is not safe because a task
running with task_group() == ag->tg must participate in refcounting:
int main(void)
{
int sctl = open("/proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled", O_WRONLY);
assert(sctl > 0);
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL); // destroy the child's ag/tg
pause();
}
assert(pwrite(sctl, "1\n", 2, 0) == 2);
assert(setsid() > 0);
if (fork())
pause();
kill(getppid(), SIGKILL);
sleep(1);
// The child has gone, the grandchild runs with kref == 1
assert(pwrite(sctl, "0\n", 2, 0) == 2);
assert(setsid() > 0);
// runs with the freed ag/tg
for (;;)
sleep(1);
return 0;
}
crashes the kernel. It doesn't really need sleep(1), it doesn't matter if
autogroup_move_group() actually frees the task_group or this happens later.

Fix the insertion of cfs_rq in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list to ensure that a
child will always be called before its parent.
The hierarchical order in shares update list has been introduced by
commit:
67e86250f8 ("sched: Introduce hierarchal order on shares update list")
With the current implementation a child can be still put after its
parent.
Lets take the example of:
root
\
b
/\
c d*
|
e*
with root -> b -> c already enqueued but not d -> e so the
leaf_cfs_rq_list looks like: head -> c -> b -> root -> tail
The branch d -> e will be added the first time that they are enqueued,
starting with e then d.
When e is added, its parents is not already on the list so e is put at
the tail : head -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail
Then, d is added at the head because its parent is already on the
list: head -> d -> c -> b -> root -> e -> tail
e is not placed at the right position and will be called the last
whereas it should be called at the beginning.
Because it follows the bottom-up enqueue sequence, we are sure that we
will finished to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a
parent that is already on the list. We can use this event to detect
when we have finished to add a new branch. For the others, whose
parents are not already added, we have to ensure that they will be
added after their children that have just been inserted the steps
before, and after any potential parents that are already in the list.
The easiest way is to put the cfs_rq just after the last inserted one
and to keep track of it untl the branch is fully added.

At task wake-up load-tracking isn't updated until the task is enqueued.
The task's own view of its utilization contribution may therefore not be
aligned with its contribution to the cfs_rq load-tracking which may have
been updated in the meantime. Basically, the task's own utilization
hasn't yet accounted for the sleep decay, while the cfs_rq may have
(partially). Estimating the cfs_rq utilization in case the task is
migrated at wake-up as task_rq(p)->cfs.avg.util_avg - p->se.avg.util_avg
is therefore incorrect as the two load-tracking signals aren't time
synchronized (different last update).
To solve this problem, this patch synchronizes the task utilization with
its previous rq before the task utilization is used in the wake-up path.
Currently the update/synchronization is done _after_ the task has been
placed by select_task_rq_fair(). The synchronization is done without
having to take the rq lock using the existing mechanism used in
remove_entity_load_avg().

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the
page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt
normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up
breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object:
wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the
stack of fill_super().
The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is
no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical
page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()).
It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the
per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup
also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone
lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates
horrible code.
As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for
the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a
separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at
for the normal case.
Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody
even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by
simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a
non-atomic owner field.
This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code
as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner
(because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared).
This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the
optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning
code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug
code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the
wait_lock.
Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to
deal with a held lock without an owner field.
Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix
starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case
on special case.
To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single
atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra
state.
This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the
owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems
dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases,
direct owner handoff.
Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific
mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will
remove that.

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury,
which he bisected back to:
3d30544f02 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes)
The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved
(read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask.
The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg)
is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of
a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to
parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load
(tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg().
But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load,
whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value.
The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the
weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is
smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than
what it could expect.
( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg"
of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib"
of online cfs_rqs of the task group. )
The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else
than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.
