When SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set on a sched domain, drop group_capacity to 1
only if the local group has extra capacity. The extra check prevents the case
where you always pull from the heaviest group when it is already under-utilized
(possible with a large weight task outweighs the tasks on the system).
For example, consider a 16-cpu quad-core quad-socket machine with MC and NUMA
scheduling domains. Let's say we spawn 15 nice0 tasks and one nice-15 task,
and each task is running on one core. In this case, we observe the following
events when balancing at the NUMA domain:
- find_busiest_group() will always pick the sched group containing the niced
task to be the busiest group.
- find_busiest_queue() will then always pick one of the cpus running the
nice0 task (never picks the cpu with the nice -15 task since
weighted_cpuload > imbalance).
- The load balancer fails to migrate the task since it is the running task
and increments sd->nr_balance_failed.
- It repeats the above steps a few more times until sd->nr_balance_failed > 5,
at which point it kicks off the active load balancer, wakes up the migration
thread and kicks the nice 0 task off the cpu.
The load balancer doesn't stop until we kick out all nice 0 tasks from
the sched group, leaving you with 3 idle cpus and one cpu running the
nice -15 task.
When balancing at the NUMA domain, we drop sgs.group_capacity to 1 if the child
domain (in this case MC) has SD_PREFER_SIBLING set. Subsequent load checks are
not relevant because the niced task has a very large weight.
In this patch, we add an extra condition to the "if(prefer_sibling)" check in
update_sd_lb_stats(). We drop the capacity of a group only if the local group
has extra capacity, ie. nr_running < group_capacity. This patch preserves the
original intent of the prefer_siblings check (to spread tasks across the system
in low utilization scenarios) and fixes the case above.
It helps in the following ways:
- In low utilization cases (where nr_tasks << nr_cpus), we still drop
group_capacity down to 1 if we prefer siblings.
- On very busy systems (where nr_tasks >> nr_cpus), sgs.nr_running will most
likely be > sgs.group_capacity.
- When balancing large weight tasks, if the local group does not have extra
capacity, we do not pick the group with the niced task as the busiest group.
This prevents failed balances, active migration and the under-utilization
described above.

This patch forces a load balance on a newly idle cpu when the local group has
extra capacity and the busiest group does not have any. It improves system
utilization when balancing tasks with a large weight differential.
Under certain situations, such as a niced down task (i.e. nice = -15) in the
presence of nr_cpus NICE0 tasks, the niced task lands on a sched group and
kicks away other tasks because of its large weight. This leads to sub-optimal
utilization of the machine. Even though the sched group has capacity, it does
not pull tasks because sds.this_load >> sds.max_load, and f_b_g() returns NULL.
With this patch, if the local group has extra capacity, we shortcut the checks
in f_b_g() and try to pull a task over. A sched group has extra capacity if the
group capacity is greater than the number of running tasks in that group.
Thanks to Mike Galbraith for discussions leading to this patch and for the
insight to reuse SD_NEWIDLE_BALANCE.

When cycling through sched groups to determine the busiest group, set
group_imb only if the busiest cpu has more than 1 runnable task. This patch
fixes the case where two cpus in a group have one runnable task each, but there
is a large weight differential between these two tasks. The load balancer is
unable to migrate any task from this group, and hence do not consider this
group to be imbalanced.

This patch adds a check in task_hot to return if the task has SCHED_IDLE
policy. SCHED_IDLE tasks have very low weight, and when run with regular
workloads, are typically scheduled many milliseconds apart. There is no
need to consider these tasks hot for load balancing.

hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
ptrace.
With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
find the context.
This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
bits for now...

Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take
the move_group path in perf_event_open().
Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we
have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant
and doesn't need changing.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

The group_sched_in() function uses a transactional approach to schedule
a group of events. In a group, either all events can be scheduled or
none are. To schedule each event in, the function calls event_sched_in().
In case of error, event_sched_out() is called on each event in the group.
The problem is that event_sched_out() does not completely cancel the
effects of event_sched_in(). Furthermore event_sched_out() changes the
state of the event as if it had run which is not true is this particular
case.
Those inconsistencies impact time tracking fields and may lead to events
in a group not all reporting the same time_enabled and time_running values.
This is demonstrated with the example below:
$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
1946101 unhalted_core_cycles (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
11423 baclears (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
7671 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=556827, run=556827)
2250443 unhalted_core_cycles (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
Notice that in the first group, the last baclears event does not
report the same timings as its siblings.
This issue comes from the fact that tstamp_stopped is updated
by event_sched_out() as if the event had actually run.
To solve the issue, we must ensure that, in case of error, there is
no change in the event state whatsoever. That means timings must
remain as they were when entering group_sched_in().
To do this we defer updating tstamp_running until we know the
transaction succeeded. Therefore, we have split event_sched_in()
in two parts separating the update to tstamp_running.
Similarly, in case of error, we do not want to update tstamp_stopped.
Therefore, we have split event_sched_out() in two parts separating
the update to tstamp_stopped.
With this patch, we now get the following output:
$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
2492050 unhalted_core_cycles (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
1852746 unhalted_core_cycles (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
Note that the uneven timing between groups is a side effect of
the process spending most of its time sleeping, i.e., not enough
event rotations (but that's a separate issue).

You can only call update_context_time() when the context
is active, i.e., the thread it is attached to is still running.
However, perf_event_read() can be called even when the context
is inactive, e.g., user read() the counters. The call to
update_context_time() must be conditioned on the status of
the context, otherwise, bogus time_enabled, time_running may
be returned. Here is an example on AMD64. The task program
is an example from libpfm4. The -p prints deltas every 1s.
$ task -p -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
2,266,610 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
5,242,358,071 cpu_clk_unhalted (99.95% scaling, ena=5,000,359,984, run=2,319,270)
Whereas if you don't read deltas, e.g., no call to perf_event_read() until
the process terminates:
$ task -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
2,497,783 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,376,899, run=2,376,899)
Notice that time_enable, time_running are bogus in the first example
causing bogus scaling.
This patch fixes the problem, by conditionally calling update_context_time()
in perf_event_read().

Current look_up_lock_class() doesn't check the parameter "subclass".
This rarely rises problems because the main caller of this function,
register_lock_class(), checks it.
But register_lock_class() is not the only function which calls
look_up_lock_class(). lock_set_class() and its callees also call it.
And lock_set_class() doesn't check this parameter.
This will rise problems when the the value of subclass is larger than
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES. Because the address (used as the key of class)
caliculated with too large subclass has a probability to point
another key in different lock_class_key.
Of course this problem depends on the memory layout and
occurs with really low probability.

Current lockdep_map only caches one class with subclass == 0,
and looks up hash table of classes when subclass != 0.
It seems that this has no problem because the case of
subclass != 0 is rare. But locks of struct rq are
acquired with subclass == 1 when task migration is executed.
Task migration is high frequent event, so I modified lockdep
to cache subclasses.
I measured the score of perf bench sched messaging.
This patch has slightly but certain (order of milli seconds
or 10 milli seconds) effect when lots of tasks are running.
I'll show the result in the tail of this description.
NR_LOCKDEP_CACHING_CLASSES specifies how many classes can be
cached in the instances of lockdep_map.
I discussed with Peter Zijlstra in LinuxCon Japan about
this approach and he taught me that caching every subclasses(8)
is cleary waste of memory. So number of cached classes
should be configurable.

Load weights are for the CFS, they do not belong in the RT task. This makes all
RT scheduling classes leave the CFS weights alone.
This fixes a real bug as well: I noticed the following phonomena: a process
elevated to SCHED_RR forks with SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK set, and the child is
indeed SCHED_OTHER, and the niceval is indeed reset to 0. However the weight
inserted by set_load_weight() remains at 0, giving the task insignificat
priority.
With this fix, the weight is reset to what the task had before being elevated
to SCHED_RR/SCHED_FIFO.

In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO
implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than
SCHED_FIFO itself.
This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time
that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment
timer pending on the now dead cpu.
It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above
SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.

Even though the parent is recorded with the normal function tracing
of the latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup), the function graph
recording is bogus.
This is due to the function graph messing with the return stack.
The latency tracers pass in as the parent CALLER_ADDR0, which
works fine for plain function tracing. But this causes bogus output
with the graph tracer:
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | trace_hardirqs_on();
The "return_to_handle()" call is the trampoline of the
function graph tracer, and is meaningless in this context.

SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and
voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These
are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs. The actual
definitions of OPP varies over silicon versions. For a specific domain,
we can have a set of {frequency, voltage} pairs. As the kernel boots
and more information is available, a default set of these are activated
based on the precise nature of device. Further on operation, based on
conditions prevailing in the system (such as temperature), some OPP
availability may be temporarily controlled by the SoC frameworks.
To implement an OPP, some sort of power management support is necessary
hence this library depends on CONFIG_PM.

If the device which fails to resume is part of a loadable kernel module
it won't be checked at startup against the magic number stored in the
RTC.
Add a read-only sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match which
contains a list of newline separated devices (usually just the one)
which currently match the last magic number. This allows the device
which is failing to resume to be found after the modules are loaded

If there is a wakeup event during the freezing of tasks, suspend or
hibernation will fail anyway. Since try_to_freeze_tasks() can take
up to 20 seconds to complete or fail, aborting it as soon as a wakeup
event is detected improves the worst case wakeup latency.
Based on a patch from Arve Hjønnevåg.

The hibernate resume code checks if there is an image to resume from
on every boot and, if the kernel is built with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set
and the image is not present, it prints some scary messages
suggesting there was a boot error of some sort. Apparently, some
users are confused by them, so make them look less scary and adjust
the other hibernate resume debug messages to match them.

Introduce struct wakeup_source for representing system wakeup sources
within the kernel and for collecting statistics related to them.
Make the recently introduced helper functions pm_wakeup_event(),
pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax() use struct wakeup_source objects
internally, so that wakeup statistics associated with wakeup devices
can be collected and reported in a consistent way (the definition of
pm_relax() is changed, which is harmless, because this function is
not called directly by anyone yet). Introduce new wakeup-related
sysfs device attributes in /sys/devices/.../power for reporting the
device wakeup statistics.
Change the global wakeup events counters event_count and
events_in_progress into atomic variables, so that it is not necessary
to acquire a global spinlock in pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake()
and pm_relax(), which should allow us to avoid lock contention in
these functions on SMP systems with many wakeup devices.

The default hibernation image size is currently hard coded and euqal
to 500 MB, which is not a reasonable default on many contemporary
systems. Make it equal 2/5 of the total RAM size (this is slightly
below the maximum, i.e. 1/2 of the total RAM size, and seems to be
generally suitable).

Although we need the PM workqueue to be freezable, we don't need it
to be singlethread. Also, the number of concurrent work items
running on a single CPU need not be constrained. For these reasons
use alloc_workqueue() directly, with suitable arguments, instead of
create_freezeable_workqueue(), to create the runtime PM workqueue.

sysctl check complains with a WARN() when proc_doulongvec_minmax() or
proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() are used by a vector of longs (with

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
After verifying this works, other archs can add:
HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
instead of the perl version.
