<content type='text'>
In preparation of using the balance_push state in ttwu() we need it to
provide a reliable and consistent state.

The immediate problem is that rq-&gt;balance_callback gets cleared every
schedule() and then re-set in the balance_push_callback() itself. This
is not a reliable signal, so add a variable that stays set during the
entire time.

Also move setting it before the synchronize_rcu() in
sched_cpu_deactivate(), such that we get guaranteed visibility to
ttwu(), which is a preempt-disable region.

The kernel test robot measured a -1.6% performance regression on
will-it-scale/sched_yield due to commit:

  2558aacff858 ("sched/hotplug: Ensure only per-cpu kthreads run during hotplug")

Even though we were careful to replace a single load with another
single load from the same cacheline.

Restore finish_lock_switch() to the exact state before the offending
patch and solve the problem differently.

Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no
real compelling reason to make it only available for RT.

There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in
order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce
it implicitly.

Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible
variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.

Only select_task_rq_fair() uses that parameter to do an actual domain
search, other classes only care about what kind of wakeup is happening
(fork, exec, or "regular") and thus just translate the flag into a wakeup
type.

WF_TTWU and WF_EXEC have just been added, use these along with WF_FORK to
encode the wakeup types we care about. For select_task_rq_fair(), we can
simply use the shiny new WF_flag : SD_flag mapping.

To remove the sd_flag parameter of select_task_rq(), we need another way of
encoding wakeup types. There already is a WF_FORK flag, add the missing two.

With that said, we still need an easy way to turn WF_foo into
SD_bar (e.g. WF_TTWU into SD_BALANCE_WAKE). As suggested by Peter, let's
make our lives easier and make them match exactly, and throw in some
compile-time checks for good measure.

<title>sched: Fix migrate_disable() vs rt/dl balancing</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to minimize the interference of migrate_disable() on lower
priority tasks, which can be deprived of runtime due to being stuck
below a higher priority task. Teach the RT/DL balancers to push away
these higher priority tasks when a lower priority task gets selected
to run on a freshly demoted CPU (pull).

This adds migration interference to the higher priority task, but
restores bandwidth to system that would otherwise be irrevocably lost.
Without this it would be possible to have all tasks on the system
stuck on a single CPU, each task preempted in a migrate_disable()
section with a single high priority task running.

This way we can still approximate running the M highest priority tasks
on the system.

Migrating the top task away is (ofcourse) still subject to
migrate_disable() too, which means the lower task is subject to an
interference equivalent to the worst case migrate_disable() section.

Add the base migrate_disable() support (under protest).

While migrate_disable() is (currently) required for PREEMPT_RT, it is
also one of the biggest flaws in the system.

Notably this is just the base implementation, it is broken vs
sched_setaffinity() and hotplug, both solved in additional patches for
ease of review.
