There is no architecture-specific code or data left
that generic <linux/vtime.h> needs to know about.
Thus, avoid the inclusion of <asm/vtime.h> header.

update_timer_sys() and update_timer_mcck() are inlines used for
CPU time accounting from the interrupt and machine-check handlers.
These routines are specific to s390 architecture, but included
via <linux/vtime.h> header implicitly. Avoid the extra loop and
include <asm/vtime.h> header directly.

The generic vtime_task_switch() implementation gets built only
if __ARCH_HAS_VTIME_TASK_SWITCH is not defined, but requires an
architecture to implement arch_vtime_task_switch() callback at
the same time, which is confusing.
Further, arch_vtime_task_switch() is implemented for 32-bit PowerPC
architecture only and vtime_task_switch() generic variant is rather
superfluous.
Simplify the whole vtime_task_switch() wiring by moving the existing
generic implementation to PowerPC.

->overloaded and ->overutilized flags
SG_OVERLOADED and SG_OVERUTILIZED flags plus the sg_status bitmask are an
unnecessary complication that only make the code harder to read and slower.
We only ever set them separately:
thule:~/tip> git grep SG_OVER kernel/sched/
kernel/sched/fair.c: set_rd_overutilized_status(rq->rd, SG_OVERUTILIZED);
kernel/sched/fair.c: *sg_status |= SG_OVERLOADED;
kernel/sched/fair.c: *sg_status |= SG_OVERUTILIZED;
kernel/sched/fair.c: *sg_status |= SG_OVERLOADED;
kernel/sched/fair.c: set_rd_overloaded(env->dst_rq->rd, sg_status & SG_OVERLOADED);
kernel/sched/fair.c: sg_status & SG_OVERUTILIZED);
kernel/sched/fair.c: } else if (sg_status & SG_OVERUTILIZED) {
kernel/sched/fair.c: set_rd_overutilized_status(env->dst_rq->rd, SG_OVERUTILIZED);
kernel/sched/sched.h:#define SG_OVERLOADED 0x1 /* More than one runnable task on a CPU. */
kernel/sched/sched.h:#define SG_OVERUTILIZED 0x2 /* One or more CPUs are over-utilized. */
kernel/sched/sched.h: set_rd_overloaded(rq->rd, SG_OVERLOADED);
And use them separately, which results in suboptimal code:
/* update overload indicator if we are at root domain */
set_rd_overloaded(env->dst_rq->rd, sg_status & SG_OVERLOADED);
/* Update over-utilization (tipping point, U >= 0) indicator */
set_rd_overutilized_status(env->dst_rq->rd,
Introduce separate sg_overloaded and sg_overutilized flags in update_sd_lb_stats()
and its lower level functions, and change all of them to 'bool'.
Remove the now unused SG_OVERLOADED and SG_OVERUTILIZED flags.

It is silly to use an ambiguous noun instead of a clear adjective when naming

Note how root_domain::overutilized already used a proper adjective.

get_rd_overload()
set_rd_overload()
To make sure code is always following READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() access methods.

The root_domain::overload flag is 1 when there's any rq
in the root domain that has 2 or more running tasks. (Ie. it's overloaded.)
The root_domain structure itself is a global structure per cpuset island.
The ::overload flag is maintained the following way:
- Set when adding a second task to the runqueue.
- It is cleared in update_sd_lb_stats() during load balance,
if none of the rqs have 2 or more running tasks.
This flag is used during newidle balance to see if its worth doing a full
load balance pass, which can be an expensive operation. If it is set,
then newidle balance will try to aggressively pull a task.
Since commit:
630246a06ae2 ("sched/fair: Clean-up update_sg_lb_stats parameters")
::overload is being written unconditionally, even if it has the same
value. The change in value of this depends on the workload, but on
typical workloads, it doesn't change all that often: a system is
either dominantly overloaded for substantial amounts of time, or not.
Extra writes to this semi-global structure cause unnecessary overhead, extra
bus traffic, etc. - so avoid it as much as possible.
Perf probe stats show that it's worth making this change (numbers are
with patch applied):
1M probe:sched_balance_newidle_L38
139 probe:update_sd_lb_stats_L53 <====== 1->0 writes
129K probe:add_nr_running_L12
74 probe:add_nr_running_L13 <====== 0->1 writes
54K probe:update_sd_lb_stats_L50 <====== reads
These numbers prove that actual change in the ::overload value is (much) less
frequent: L50 is much larger at ~54,000 accesses vs L53+L13 of 139+74.

Access to root_domainoverutilized is always used with sched_energy_enabled in
the pattern:
if (sched_energy_enabled && !overutilized)
do something
So modify the helper function to utilize this pattern. This is more
readable code as it would say, do something when root domain is not
overutilized. This function always return true when EAS is disabled.

newidle(CPU_NEWLY_IDLE) balancing doesn't stop the load-balancing if the
continue_balancing flag is reset, but the other two balancing (IDLE, BUSY)
cases do that.
newidle balance stops the load balancing if rq has a task or there
is wakeup pending. The same checks are present in should_we_balance for
newidle. Hence use the return value and simplify continue_balancing
mechanism for newidle. Update the comment surrounding it as well.

root_domain::overutilized
The root_domain::overutilized field is READ_ONCE() accessed in
multiple places, which could be simplified with a helper function.

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.
Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.
With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.
6.8-rc4:
7.18% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair
6.78% s [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
+patch:
0.14% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair
0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to
be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.

It is not necessarily an indication of the system being busy and
requires a backoff of the load balancer activities. But pushing it high
could mean generally delaying other misfit activities or other type of
imbalances.
Also don't pollute nr_balance_failed because of misfit failures. The
value is used for enabling cache hot migration and in migrate_util/load
types. None of which should be impacted (skewed) by misfit failures.

If a misfit task is affined to a subset of the possible CPUs, we need to
verify that one of these CPUs can fit it. Otherwise the load balancer
code will continuously trigger needlessly leading the balance_interval
to increase in return and eventually end up with a situation where real
imbalances take a long time to address because of this impossible
imbalance situation.
This can happen in Android world where it's common for background tasks
to be restricted to little cores.
Similarly if we can't fit the biggest core, triggering misfit is
pointless as it is the best we can ever get on this system.
To be able to detect that; we use asym_cap_list to iterate through
capacities in the system to see if the task is able to run at a higher
capacity level based on its p->cpus_ptr. We do that when the affinity
change, a fair task is forked, or when a task switched to fair policy.
We store the max_allowed_capacity in task_struct to allow for cheap
comparison in the fast path.
Improve check_misfit_status() function by removing redundant checks.
misfit_task_load will be 0 if the task can't move to a bigger CPU. And
nohz_balancer_kick() already checks for cpu_check_capacity() before
calling check_misfit_status().
Test:
=====
Add
trace_printk("balance_interval = %lu\n", interval)
in get_sd_balance_interval().
run
if [ "$MASK" != "0" ]; then
adb shell "taskset -a $MASK cat /dev/zero > /dev/null"
fi
sleep 10
// parse ftrace buffer counting the occurrence of each valaue
Where MASK is either:
* 0: no busy task running
* 1: busy task is pinned to 1 cpu; handled today to not cause
misfit
* f: busy task pinned to little cores, simulates busy background
task, demonstrates the problem to be fixed

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.
- Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
memory encryption enabled.
- Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
result prevents updating the MSR.
- Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration
to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology
code.
- Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a
fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology
functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver
code at all.
- Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs
are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.
- Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
crashes.
- Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.
So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec,
this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but
all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same
stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice.
In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls
the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit
entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation
of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in
64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using
the decompressor's limited boot stack.
Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any
stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit
5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code")
moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot
stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will
corrupt the end of the .data section.
While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of
the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode
systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base.
So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from
the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot
service call is made.

Commit 63bed9660420 ("x86/startup_64: Defer assignment of 5-level paging
global variables") moved assignment of 5-level global variables to later
in the boot in order to avoid having to use RIP relative addressing in
order to set them. However, when running with 5-level paging and SME
active (mem_encrypt=on), the variables are needed as part of the page
table setup needed to encrypt the kernel (using pgd_none(), p4d_offset(),
etc.). Since the variables haven't been set, the page table manipulation
is done as if 4-level paging is active, causing the system to crash on
boot.
While only a subset of the assignments that were moved need to be set
early, move all of the assignments back into check_la57_support() so that
these assignments aren't spread between two locations. Instead of just
reverting the fix, this uses the new RIP_REL_REF() macro when assigning
the variables.

When running with 5-level page tables, the kernel mapping PGD entry is
updated to point to the P4D table. The assignment uses _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC,
which, when SME is active (mem_encrypt=on), results in a page table
entry without the encryption mask set, causing the system to crash on
boot.
Change the assignment to use _PAGE_TABLE instead of _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC so
that the encryption mask is set for the PGD entry.

Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together
with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

10^6. See mbm_bw_count() which computes bandwidth using the "SZ_1M"
Linux define for 0x00100000.

It's too late to fix the mount option "mba_MBps" as that is now an

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code:
- Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing
out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore
has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other
CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the
race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to
chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device
endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
- The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel
caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of
global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent
which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being
expired on time.
Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the
self IPI condition for NOHZ full is working correctly again"

If there is no local APIC enumerated and registered then the topology
bitmaps are empty. Therefore, topology_init_possible_cpus() will die with
a division by zero exception.
Prevent this by registering a fake APIC id to populate the topology
bitmap. This also allows to use all topology query interfaces
unconditionally. It does not affect the actual APIC code because either
the local APIC address was not registered or no local APIC could be
detected.

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice:
1) During early boot
2) When finalizing the early setup right before
mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched.
In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the
copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens
between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to
the per CPU info instance.
Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final
state and not supposed to change anymore.
This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which
had absolutely no purpose.

Pull more SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"The vfs has long had a write lifetime hint mechanism that gives the
expected longevity on storage of the data being written. f2fs was the
original consumer of this and used the hint for flash data placement
(mostly to avoid write amplification by placing objects with similar
lifetimes in the same erase block).
More recently the SCSI based UFS (Universal Flash Storage) drivers
have wanted to take advantage of this as well, for the same reasons as
f2fs, necessitating plumbing the write hints through the block layer
and then adding it to the SCSI core.
The vfs write_hints already taken plumbs this as far as block and this
completes the SCSI core enabling based on a recently agreed reuse of
the old write command group number. The additions to the scsi_debug
driver are for emulating this property so we can run tests on it in
the absence of an actual UFS device"
