Make definitions of these structures and related functions conditional
on CONFIG_PROC_FS config.

sched/membarrier: Fix membarrier-rseq fence command missing from query bitmask

2022-01-25T21:30:25+00:00

The membarrier command MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY allows querying the
available membarrier commands. When the membarrier-rseq fence commands
were added, a new MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK was
introduced with the intent to expose them with the MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
command, the but it was never added to MEMBARRIER_CMD_BITMASK.

The membarrier-rseq fence commands are therefore not wired up with the
query command.

Rename MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK to
MEMBARRIER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK (the bitmask is not a command
per-se), and change the erroneous
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK (which does not
actually exist) to MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ.

Wire up MEMBARRIER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK in
MEMBARRIER_CMD_BITMASK. Fixing this allows discovering availability of
the membarrier-rseq fence feature.

2022-01-18T11:09:59+00:00

For PREEMPT/DYNAMIC_PREEMPT the *_unlock() will already trigger a
preemption, no point in then calling preempt_schedule_common()
*again*.

Use _cond_resched() instead, since this is a NOP for the preemptible
configs while it provide a preemption point for the others.

sched/core: Accounting forceidle time for all tasks except idle task

2022-01-18T11:09:59+00:00

There are two types of forced idle time: forced idle time from cookie'd
task and forced idle time form uncookie'd task. The forced idle time from
uncookie'd task is actually caused by the cookie'd task in runqueue
indirectly, and it's more accurate to measure the capacity loss with the
sum of both.

Assuming cpu x and cpu y are a pair of SMT siblings, consider the
following scenarios:
1.There's a cookie'd task running on cpu x, and there're 4 uncookie'd
tasks running on cpu y. For cpu x, there will be 80% forced idle time
(from uncookie'd task); for cpu y, there will be 20% forced idle time
(from cookie'd task).
2.There's a uncookie'd task running on cpu x, and there're 4 cookie'd
tasks running on cpu y. For cpu x, there will be 80% forced idle time
(from cookie'd task); for cpu y, there will be 20% forced idle time
(from uncookie'd task).

The scenario1 can recurrent by stress-ng(scenario2 can recurrent similary):
(cookie'd)taskset -c x stress-ng -c 1 -l 100
(uncookie'd)taskset -c y stress-ng -c 4 -l 100

In the above two scenarios, the total capacity loss is 1 cpu, but in
scenario1, the cookie'd forced idle time tells us 20% cpu capacity loss, in
scenario2, the cookie'd forced idle time tells us 80% cpu capacity loss,
which are not accurate. It'll be more accurate to measure with cookie'd
forced idle time and uncookie'd forced idle time.

sched/pelt: Relax the sync of load_sum with load_avg

2022-01-18T11:09:58+00:00

Similarly to util_avg and util_sum, don't sync load_sum with the low
bound of load_avg but only ensure that load_sum stays in the correct range.

sched/pelt: Continue to relax the sync of util_sum with util_avg

2022-01-18T11:09:58+00:00

Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency
being lower than before:
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045

He bisected the problem to:
commit 1c35b07e6d39 ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")

This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after
removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By
doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to
LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been
reflected in util_avg.

update_tg_cfs_util() is not the only place where we round util_sum and
lost some accumulated contributions that are not already reflected in
util_avg. Modify update_tg_cfs_util() and detach_entity_load_avg() to not
sync util_sum with the new util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to
the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization,
we propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum
always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been
observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.
