Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Improve the scalability of the CFS bandwidth unthrottling logic with
   large number of CPUs.

 - Fix &amp; rework various cpuidle routines, simplify interaction with the
   generic scheduler code. Add __cpuidle methods as noinstr to objtool's
   noinstr detection and fix boatloads of cpuidle bugs &amp; quirks.

 - Add new ABI: introduce MEMBARRIER_CMD_GET_REGISTRATIONS, to query
   previously issued registrations.

 - Limit scheduler slice duration to the sysctl_sched_latency period, to
   improve scheduling granularity with a large number of SCHED_IDLE
   tasks.

 - Debuggability enhancement on sys_exit(): warn about disabled IRQs,
   but also enable them to prevent a cascade of followup problems and
   repeat warnings.

 - Fix the rescheduling logic in prio_changed_dl().

 - Micro-optimize cpufreq and sched-util methods.

 - Micro-optimize ttwu_runnable()

 - Micro-optimize the idle-scanning in update_numa_stats(),
   select_idle_capacity() and steal_cookie_task().

 - Update the RSEQ code &amp; self-tests

 - Constify various scheduler methods

 - Remove unused methods

 - Refine __init tags

 - Documentation updates

 - Misc other cleanups, fixes

<title>sched: Introduce per-memory-map concurrency ID</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=af7f588d8f7355bc4298dd1962d7826358fc95f0'/>
<id>af7f588d8f7355bc4298dd1962d7826358fc95f0</id>
<content type='text'>
This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.

This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.

The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:

- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
  cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
  restricted cgroup cpuset per container.

One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.

On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.

Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.

The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].

The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:

* perf bench sched messaging (process)

Baseline:                    86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid:                 86.7±2.6 ms

* perf bench sched messaging (threaded)

Baseline:                    84.3±3.0 ms
With mm_cid:                 84.7±2.6 ms

* hackbench (process)

Baseline:                    82.9±2.7 ms

* hackbench (threaded)

Baseline:                    85.2±2.6 ms

Introduce the extensible rseq ABI, where the feature size supported by
the kernel and the required alignment are communicated to user-space
through ELF auxiliary vectors.

This allows user-space to call rseq registration with a rseq_len of
either 32 bytes for the original struct rseq size (which includes
padding), or larger.

If rseq_len is larger than 32 bytes, then it must be large enough to
contain the feature size communicated to user-space through ELF
auxiliary vectors.

<title>mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter</title>

<id>f1a7941243c102a44e8847e3b94ff4ff3ec56f25</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently mm_struct maintains rss_stats which are updated on page fault
and the unmapping codepaths.  For page fault codepath the updates are
cached per thread with the batch of TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH which is 64. 
The reason for caching is performance for multithreaded applications
otherwise the rss_stats updates may become hotspot for such applications.

However this optimization comes with the cost of error margin in the rss
stats.  The rss_stats for applications with large number of threads can be
very skewed.  At worst the error margin is (nr_threads * 64) and we have a
lot of applications with 100s of threads, so the error margin can be very
high.  Internally we had to reduce TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH to 32.

Recently we started seeing the unbounded errors for rss_stats for specific
applications which use TCP rx0cp.  It seems like vm_insert_pages()
codepath does not sync rss_stats at all.

This patch converts the rss_stats into percpu_counter to convert the error
margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately (nr_cpus ^ 2).  However
this conversion enable us to get the accurate stats for situations where
accuracy is more important than the cpu cost.

This patch does not make such tradeoffs - we can just use
percpu_counter_add_local() for the updates and percpu_counter_sum() (or
percpu_counter_sync() + percpu_counter_read) for the readers.  At the
moment the readers are either procfs interface, oom_killer and memory
reclaim which I think are not performance critical and should be ok with
slow read.  However I think we can make that change in a separate patch.

The commit d583d360a620 ("psi: Fix psi state corruption when schedule()
races with cgroup move") fixed a race problem by making cgroup_move_task()
use task-&gt;psi_flags instead of looking at the scheduler state.

We can extend task-&gt;psi_flags usage to CPU migration, which should be
a minor optimization for performance and code simplicity.

<title>perf: Rewrite core context handling</title>

<id>bd27568117664b8b3e259721393df420ed51f57b</id>
<content type='text'>
There have been various issues and limitations with the way perf uses
(task) contexts to track events. Most notable is the single hardware
PMU task context, which has resulted in a number of yucky things (both
proposed and merged).

Notably:
 - HW breakpoint PMU
 - ARM big.little PMU / Intel ADL PMU
 - Intel Branch Monitoring PMU
 - AMD IBS PMU
 - S390 cpum_cf PMU
 - PowerPC trace_imc PMU

*Current design:*

Currently we have a per task and per cpu perf_event_contexts:

  task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] &lt;-&gt; perf_event_context &lt;-&gt; perf_cpu_context
       ^                                 |    ^     |           ^
       `---------------------------------'    |     `--&gt; pmu ---'
                                              v           ^
                                         perf_event ------'

Each task has an array of pointers to a perf_event_context. Each
perf_event_context has a direct relation to a PMU and a group of
events for that PMU. The task related perf_event_context's have a
pointer back to that task.

Each PMU has a per-cpu pointer to a per-cpu perf_cpu_context, which
includes a perf_event_context, which again has a direct relation to
that PMU, and a group of events for that PMU.

The perf_cpu_context also tracks which task context is currently
associated with that CPU and includes a few other things like the
hrtimer for rotation etc.

Each perf_event is then associated with its PMU and one
perf_event_context.

*Proposed design:*

New design proposed by this patch reduce to a single task context and
a single CPU context but adds some intermediate data-structures:

  task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -&gt; perf_event_context &lt;- perf_cpu_context
       ^                           |   ^ ^
       `---------------------------'   | |
                                       | |    perf_cpu_pmu_context &lt;--.
                                       | `----.    ^                  |
                                       |      |    |                  |
                                       |      v    v                  |
                                       | ,--&gt; perf_event_pmu_context  |
                                       | |                            |
                                       | |                            |
                                       v v                            |
                                  perf_event ---&gt; pmu ----------------'

With the new design, perf_event_context will hold all events for all
pmus in the (respective pinned/flexible) rbtrees. This can be achieved
by adding pmu to rbtree key:

  {cpu, pmu, cgroup, group_index}

Each perf_event_context carries a list of perf_event_pmu_context which
is used to hold per-pmu-per-context state. For example, it keeps track
of currently active events for that pmu, a pmu specific task_ctx_data,
a flag to tell whether rotation is required or not etc.

Additionally, perf_cpu_pmu_context is used to hold per-pmu-per-cpu
state like hrtimer details to drive the event rotation, a pointer to
perf_event_pmu_context of currently running task and some other
ancillary information.

Each perf_event is associated to it's pmu, perf_event_context and
perf_event_pmu_context.

Further optimizations to current implementation are possible. For
example, ctx_resched() can be optimized to reschedule only single pmu
events.

Much thanks to Ravi for picking this up and pushing it towards
completion.
