2024-04-28sched/isolation: Fix boot crash when maxcpus < first housekeeping CPUOleg Nesterov
housekeeping_setup() checks cpumask_intersects(present, online) to ensure that the kernel will have at least one housekeeping CPU after smp_init(), but this doesn't work if the maxcpus= kernel parameter limits the number of processors available after bootup. For example, a kernel with "maxcpus=2 nohz_full=0-2" parameters crashes at boot time on a virtual machine with 4 CPUs. Change housekeeping_setup() to use cpumask_first_and() and check that the returned CPU number is valid and less than setup_max_cpus. Another corner case is "nohz_full=0" on a machine with a single CPU or with the maxcpus=1 kernel argument. In this case non_housekeeping_mask is empty and tick_nohz_full_setup() makes no sense. And indeed, the kernel hits the WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running) in tick_sched_do_timer(). And how should the kernel interpret the "nohz_full=" parameter? It should be silently ignored, but currently cpulist_parse() happily returns the empty cpumask and this leads to the same problem. Change housekeeping_setup() to check cpumask_empty(non_housekeeping_mask) and do nothing in this case.

2024-04-28sched/isolation: Prevent boot crash when the boot CPU is nohz_fullOleg Nesterov
Documentation/timers/no_hz.rst states that the "nohz_full=" mask must not include the boot CPU, which is no longer true after: 08ae95f4fd3b ("nohz_full: Allow the boot CPU to be nohz_full"). However after: aae17ebb53cd ("workqueue: Avoid using isolated cpus' timers on queue_delayed_work") the kernel will crash at boot time in this case; housekeeping_any_cpu() returns an invalid CPU number until smp_init() brings the first housekeeping CPU up. Change housekeeping_any_cpu() to check the result of cpumask_any_and() and return smp_processor_id() in this case. This is just the simple and backportable workaround which fixes the symptom, but smp_processor_id() at boot time should be safe at least for type == HK_TYPE_TIMER, this more or less matches the tick_do_timer_boot_cpu logic. There is no worry about cpu_down(); tick_nohz_cpu_down() will not allow to offline tick_do_timer_cpu (the 1st online housekeeping CPU).

2024-04-22sched/eevdf: Prevent vlag from going out of bounds in reweight_eevdf()Xuewen Yan
It was possible to have pick_eevdf() return NULL, which then causes a NULL-deref. This turned out to be due to entity_eligible() returning falsely negative because of a s64 multiplcation overflow. Specifically, reweight_eevdf() computes the vlag without considering the limit placed upon vlag as update_entity_lag() does, and then the scaling multiplication (remember that weight is 20bit fixed point) can overflow. This then leads to the new vruntime being weird which then causes the above entity_eligible() to go side-ways and claim nothing is eligible. Thus limit the range of vlag accordingly. All this was quite rare, but fatal when it does happen.

2024-04-16sched: Add missing memory barrier in switch_mm_cidMathieu Desnoyers
Many architectures' switch_mm() (e.g. arm64) do not have an smp_mb() which the core scheduler code has depended upon since commit: commit 223baf9d17f25 ("sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid") If switch_mm() doesn't call smp_mb(), sched_mm_cid_remote_clear() can unset the actively used cid when it fails to observe active task after it sets lazy_put. There *is* a memory barrier between storing to rq->curr and _return to userspace_ (as required by membarrier), but the rseq mm_cid has stricter requirements: the barrier needs to be issued between store to rq->curr and switch_mm_cid(), which happens earlier than: - spin_unlock(), - switch_to(). So it's fine when the architecture switch_mm() happens to have that barrier already, but less so when the architecture only provides the full barrier in switch_to() or spin_unlock(). It is a bug in the rseq switch_mm_cid() implementation. All architectures that don't have memory barriers in switch_mm(), but rather have the full barrier either in finish_lock_switch() or switch_to() have them too late for the needs of switch_mm_cid(). Introduce a new smp_mb__after_switch_mm(), defined as smp_mb() in the generic barrier.h header, and use it in switch_mm_cid() for scheduler transitions where switch_mm() is expected to provide a memory barrier. Architectures can override smp_mb__after_switch_mm() if their switch_mm() implementation provides an implicit memory barrier. Override it with a no-op on x86 which implicitly provide this memory barrier by writing to CR3.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390". - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios" "mm: convert mm counter to take a folio" - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree". - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some swap-intensive situations. - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest. - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()". - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged as system memory. - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups", which does that. - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable" "selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases" "Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements" "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself" - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments appearing with CXL. - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump: Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute". - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests". - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol") format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party tools to parse and process out selftesting results. - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process has a large number of pte-mapped folios. - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice. - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work. - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code. - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test", Mark Brown did what the title claims. - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring". - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend zswap kselftests" does as claimed. - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary. - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain userfaultfd operations. - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador in his series "page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations" "page_owner: Fixup and cleanup" - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark. - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items". - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series "mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration" "mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()" - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction". - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator". - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock". - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios". - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove total_mapcount()", a cleanup. - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing". - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot" provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages. - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that. - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that also. S390 is affected. - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()". - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests". - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping: - The hierarchical timer pull model When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs. This is wrong in several aspects: 1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close to zero. 2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a single target CPU 3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed before they expire. The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which they get armed. This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and global timers which do not care about where they expire. As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels. When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels: - If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire. - If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer. The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed. In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels. The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry. Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level. Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first. This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more complex idle path. This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and ran through extensive CI. There have been slight performance improvements observed on network centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in a mostly idle scenario. There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power management side. - Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps: cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the math and logic wrong. - Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of having more incomprehensible command line parameters. - Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures. - The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place" * tag 'timers-core-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (62 commits) timer/migration: Fix quick check reporting late expiry tick/sched: Fix build failure for CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n vdso/datapage: Quick fix - use asm/page-def.h for ARM64 timers: Assert no next dyntick timer look-up while CPU is offline tick: Assume timekeeping is correctly handed over upon last offline idle call tick: Shut down low-res tick from dying CPU tick: Split nohz and highres features from nohz_mode tick: Move individual bit features to debuggable mask accesses tick: Move got_idle_tick away from common flags tick: Assume the tick can't be stopped in NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE mode tick: Move broadcast cancellation up to CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING tick: Move tick cancellation up to CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING tick: Start centralizing tick related CPU hotplug operations tick/sched: Don't clear ts::next_tick again in can_stop_idle_tick() tick/sched: Rename tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to tick_nohz_full_stop_tick() tick: Use IS_ENABLED() whenever possible tick/sched: Remove useless oneshot ifdeffery tick/nohz: Remove duplicate between lowres and highres handlers tick/nohz: Remove duplicate between tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() and tick_setup_sched_timer() hrtimer: Select housekeeping CPU during migration ...

2024-03-01sched/idle: Conditionally handle tick broadcast in default_idle_call()Thomas Gleixner
The x86 architecture has an idle routine for AMD CPUs which are affected by erratum 400. On the affected CPUs the local APIC timer stops in the C1E halt state. It therefore requires tick broadcasting. The invocation of tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() from this function violates the RCU constraints because it can end up in lockdep or tracing, which rightfully triggers a warning. tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() must be invoked before ct_cpuidle_enter() and after ct_cpuidle_exit() in default_idle_call(). Add a static branch conditional invocation of tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() into this function to allow X86 to replace the AMD specific idle code. It's guarded by a config switch which will be selected by x86. Otherwise it's a NOOP.

2024-02-28sched/fair: Simplify the update_sd_pick_busiest() logicDavid Vernet
When comparing the current struct sched_group with the yet-busiest domain in update_sd_pick_busiest(), if the two groups have the same group type, we're currently doing a bit of unnecessary work for any group >= group_misfit_task. We're comparing the two groups, and then returning only if false (the group in question is not the busiest). Otherwise, we break out, do an extra unnecessary conditional check that's vacuously false for any group type > group_fully_busy, and then always return true. Let's just return directly in the switch statement instead. This doesn't change the size of vmlinux with llvm 17 (not surprising given that all of this is inlined in load_balance()), but it does shrink load_balance() by 88 bytes on x86. Given that it also improves readability, this seems worth doing.

In update_sd_pick_busiest(), when comparing two sched groups that are both of type group_misfit_task, we currently consider the new group as busier than the current busiest group even if the new group has the same misfit task load as the current busiest group. We can avoid some unnecessary writes if we instead only consider the newest group to be the busiest if it has a higher load than the current busiest. This matches the behavior of other group types where we compare load, such as two groups that are both overloaded. Let's update the group_misfit_task type comparison to also only update the busiest group in the event of strict inequality.

This is because the "isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs from the domain to isolate them from other SMT siblings.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call to idle. Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state.

Linus reported a ~50% performance regression on single-threaded workloads on his AMD Ryzen system, and bisected it to: 9c0b4bb7f630 ("sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation") When frequency invariance is not enabled, get_capacity_ref_freq(policy) is supposed to return the current frequency and the performance margin applied by map_util_perf(), enabling the utilization to go above the maximum compute capacity and to select a higher frequency than the current one. After the changes in 9c0b4bb7f630, the performance margin was applied earlier in the path to take into account utilization clampings and we couldn't get a utilization higher than the maximum compute capacity, and the CPU remained 'stuck' at lower frequencies. To fix this, we must use a frequency above the current frequency to get a chance to select a higher OPP when the current one becomes fully used. Apply the same margin and return a frequency 25% higher than the current one in order to switch to the next OPP before we fully use the CPU at the current one.

2023-12-29sched/fair: Fix tg->load when offlining a CPUVincent Guittot
When a CPU is taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups' load may remain and will negatively impact the calculation of the share of the online CPUs. To fix this bug, clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups' load and skip its contribution while it is inactive. Here's the reproducer of the anomaly, by Imran Khan: "So far I have encountered only one rather lengthy way of reproducing this issue, which is as follows: 1. Take a KVM guest (booted with 4 CPUs and can be scaled up to 124 CPUs) and create 2 custom cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/ cpu/test_group_2 2. Assign a CPU intensive workload to each of these cgroups and start the workload. For my tests I am using following app: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { unsigned long count, i, val; if (argc != 2) { printf("usage: ./a.out <number of random nums to generate> \n"); return 0; } count = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10); printf("Generating %lu random numbers \n", count); for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { val = rand(); val = val % 2; //usleep(1); } printf("Generated %lu random numbers \n", count); return 0; } Also since the system is booted with 4 CPUs, in order to completely load the system I am also launching 4 instances of same test app under: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/ 3. We can see that both of the cgroups get similar CPU time: # systemd-cgtop --depth 1 Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 - 5.5G - - /system.slice - - 5.7G - - /test_group_1 4 - - - - /test_group_2 3 - - - - /user.slice 31 - 56.5M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.6 5.5G - - /test_group_2 3 65.7 - - - /user.slice 29 55.1 48.0M - - /test_group_1 4 47.3 - - - /system.slice - 2.2 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.8 5.5G - - /test_group_1 4 62.9 - - - /user.slice 28 44.9 54.2M - - /test_group_2 3 44.7 - - - /system.slice - 0.9 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.4 5.5G - - /test_group_2 3 58.8 - - - /test_group_1 4 51.9 - - - /user.slice 30 39.3 59.6M - - /system.slice - 1.9 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 394.7 5.5G - - /test_group_1 4 60.9 - - - /test_group_2 3 57.9 - - - /user.slice 28 43.5 36.9M - - /system.slice - 3.0 5.7G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 659 395.0 5.5G - - /test_group_1 4 66.8 - - - /test_group_2 3 56.3 - - - /user.slice 29 43.1 51.8M - - /system.slice - 0.7 5.7G - - 4. Now move systemd-udevd to one of these test groups, say test_group_1, and perform scale up to 124 CPUs followed by scale down back to 4 CPUs from the host side. 5. Run the same workload i.e 4 instances of CPU hogger under /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu and one instance of CPU hogger each in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/test_group_2. It can be seen that test_group_1 (the one where systemd-udevd was moved) is getting much less CPU time than the test_group_2, even though at this point of time both of these groups have only CPU hogger running: # systemd-cgtop --depth 1 Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1219 - 5.4G - - /system.slice - - 5.6G - - /test_group_1 4 - - - - /test_group_2 3 - - - - /user.slice 26 - 91.3M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 394.3 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 82.7 - - - /test_group_1 4 14.3 - - - /system.slice - 0.8 5.6G - - /user.slice 26 0.4 91.2M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 394.6 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 67.4 - - - /system.slice - 24.6 5.6G - - /test_group_1 4 12.5 - - - /user.slice 26 0.4 91.2M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.2 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 60.9 - - - /system.slice - 27.9 5.6G - - /test_group_1 4 12.2 - - - /user.slice 26 0.4 91.2M - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.2 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 69.4 - - - /test_group_1 4 13.9 - - - /user.slice 28 1.6 92.0M - - /system.slice - 1.0 5.6G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.6 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 59.3 - - - /test_group_1 4 14.1 - - - /user.slice 28 1.3 92.2M - - /system.slice - 0.7 5.6G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.5 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 67.2 - - - /test_group_1 4 11.5 - - - /user.slice 28 1.3 92.5M - - /system.slice - 0.6 5.6G - - Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s / 1221 395.1 5.4G - - /test_group_2 3 76.8 - - - /test_group_1 4 12.9 - - - /user.slice 28 1.3 92.8M - - /system.slice - 1.2 5.6G - - From sched_debug data it can be seen that in bad case the load.weight of per-CPU sched entities corresponding to test_group_1 has reduced significantly and also load_avg of test_group_1 remains much higher than that of test_group_2, even though systemd-udevd stopped running long time back and at this point of time both cgroups just have the CPU hogger app as running entity."

2023-12-23sched/fair: Use all little CPUs for CPU-bound workloadsPierre Gondois
Running N CPU-bound tasks on an N CPUs platform: - with asymmetric CPU capacity - not being a DynamIq system (i.e. having a PKG level sched domain without the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set) .. might result in a task placement where two tasks run on a big CPU and none on a little CPU. This placement could be more optimal by using all CPUs. Testing platform: Juno-r2: - 2 big CPUs (1-2), maximum capacity of 1024 - 4 little CPUs (0,3-5), maximum capacity of 383 Testing workload ([1]): Spawn 6 CPU-bound tasks. During the first 100ms (step 1), each tasks is affine to a CPU, except for: - one little CPU which is left idle. - one big CPU which has 2 tasks affine. After the 100ms (step 2), remove the cpumask affinity. Behavior before the patch: During step 2, the load balancer running from the idle CPU tags sched domains as: - little CPUs: 'group_has_spare'. Cf. group_has_capacity() and group_is_overloaded(), 3 CPU-bound tasks run on a 4 CPUs sched-domain, and the idle CPU provides enough spare capacity regarding the imbalance_pct - big CPUs: 'group_overloaded'. Indeed, 3 tasks run on a 2 CPUs sched-domain, so the following path is used: group_is_overloaded() \-if (sgs->sum_nr_running <= sgs->group_weight) return true; The following path which would change the migration type to 'migrate_task' is not taken: calculate_imbalance() \-if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->imbalance == 0) as the local group has some spare capacity, so the imbalance is not 0. The migration type requested is 'migrate_util' and the busiest runqueue is the big CPU's runqueue having 2 tasks (each having a utilization of 512). The idle little CPU cannot pull one of these task as its capacity is too small for the task. The following path is used: detach_tasks() \-case migrate_util: \-if (util > env->imbalance) goto next; After the patch: As the number of failed balancing attempts grows (with 'nr_balance_failed'), progressively make it easier to migrate a big task to the idling little CPU. A similar mechanism is used for the 'migrate_load' migration type. Improvement: Running the testing workload [1] with the step 2 representing a ~10s load for a big CPU: Before patch: ~19.3s After patch: ~18s (-6.7%) Similar issue reported at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230716014125.139577-1-qyousef@layalina.io/ Suggested-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Pierre Gondois <pierre.gondois@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Acked-by: Qais Yousef <qyousef@layalina.io> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231206090043.634697-1-pierre.gondois@arm.com

2023-12-23cpufreq/schedutil: Use a fixed reference frequencyVincent Guittot
cpuinfo.max_freq can change at runtime because of boost as an example. This implies that the value could be different than the one that has been used when computing the capacity of a CPU. The new arch_scale_freq_ref() returns a fixed and coherent reference frequency that can be used when computing a frequency based on utilization. Use this arch_scale_freq_ref() when available and fallback to policy otherwise.
