a2066aa76a tick/sched: Do not mess with an enqueued hrtimer
commit 1f71addd34f4c442bec7d7c749acc1beb58126f2 upstream.

Kaike reported that in tests rdma hrtimers occasionaly stopped working. He
did great debugging, which provided enough context to decode the problem.

CPU 3			     	      	     CPU 2

idle
start sched_timer expires = 712171000000
 queue->next = sched_timer
					    start rdmavt timer. expires = 712172915662
					    lock(baseof(CPU3))
tick_nohz_stop_tick()
tick = 716767000000			    timerqueue_add(tmr)

hrtimer_set_expires(sched_timer, tick);
  sched_timer->expires = 716767000000  <---- FAIL
					     if (tmr->expires < queue->next->expires)
hrtimer_start(sched_timer)		          queue->next = tmr;
lock(baseof(CPU3))
					     unlock(baseof(CPU3))
timerqueue_remove()
timerqueue_add()

ts->sched_timer is queued and queue->next is pointing to it, but then
ts->sched_timer.expires is modified.

This not only corrupts the ordering of the timerqueue RB tree, it also
makes CPU2 see the new expiry time of timerqueue->next->expires when
checking whether timerqueue->next needs to be updated. So CPU2 sees that
the rdma timer is earlier than timerqueue->next and sets the rdma timer as
new next.

Depending on whether it had also seen the new time at RB tree enqueue, it
might have queued the rdma timer at the wrong place and then after removing
the sched_timer the RB tree is completely hosed.

The problem was introduced with a commit which tried to solve inconsistency
between the hrtimer in the tick_sched data and the underlying hardware
clockevent. It split out hrtimer_set_expires() to store the new tick time
in both the NOHZ and the NOHZ + HIGHRES case, but missed the fact that in
the NOHZ + HIGHRES case the hrtimer might still be queued.

Use hrtimer_start(timer, tick...) for the NOHZ + HIGHRES case which sets
timer->expires after canceling the timer and move the hrtimer_set_expires()
invocation into the NOHZ only code path which is not affected as it merily
uses the hrtimer as next event storage so code pathes can be shared with
the NOHZ + HIGHRES case.

Fixes: d4af6d933ccf ("nohz: Fix spurious warning when hrtimer and clockevent get out of sync")

f6ff4f012c sched: Add a check for cpu unbound deferrable timers
Add a check for cpu unbound deferrable timer expiry and raise
softirq for handling the expired timers so that the CPU can
process the cpu unbound deferrable times as early as possible
when a cpu tries to enter/exit idle loop.

e798502cfb nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
commit 5d62c183f9e9df1deeea0906d099a94e8a43047a upstream.

The conditions in irq_exit() to invoke tick_nohz_irq_exit() which
subsequently invokes tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() are:

  if ((idle_cpu(cpu) && !need_resched()) || tick_nohz_full_cpu(cpu))

If need_resched() is not set, but a timer softirq is pending then this is
an indication that the softirq code punted and delegated the execution to
softirqd. need_resched() is not true because the current interrupted task
takes precedence over softirqd.

Invoking tick_nohz_irq_exit() in this case can cause an endless loop of
timer interrupts because the timer wheel contains an expired timer, but
softirqs are not yet executed. So it returns an immediate expiry request,
which causes the timer to fire immediately again. Lather, rinse and
repeat....

Prevent that by adding a check for a pending timer soft interrupt to the
conditions in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() which avoid calling
get_next_timer_interrupt(). That keeps the tick sched timer on the tick and
prevents a repetitive programming of an already expired timer.

0c688c288f cpufreq: schedutil: Use idle_calls counter of the remote CPU
commit 466a2b42d67644447a1765276259a3ea5531ddff upstream.

Since the recent remote cpufreq callback work, its possible that a cpufreq
update is triggered from a remote CPU. For single policies however, the current
code uses the local CPU when trying to determine if the remote sg_cpu entered
idle or is busy. This is incorrect. To remedy this, compare with the nohz tick
idle_calls counter of the remote CPU.

a0db971e4e nohz: Move idle balancer registration to the idle path
The idle load balancing registration path assumes that we only stop the
tick when the CPU is idle, ignoring the nohz full case. As a result, a
nohz full CPU that is running a task may be chosen to perform idle load
balancing.

Lets make sure that only CPUs in dynticks idle mode can be picked as
idle load balancers.

d4af6d933c nohz: Fix spurious warning when hrtimer and clockevent get out of sync
The sanity check ensuring that the tick expiry cache (ts->next_tick)
is actually in sync with the hardware clock (dev->next_event) makes the
wrong assumption that the clock can't be programmed later than the
hrtimer deadline.

In fact the clock hardware can be programmed later on some conditions
such as:

    * The hrtimer deadline is already in the past.
    * The hrtimer deadline is earlier than the minimum delay supported
      by the hardware.

Such conditions can be met when we program the tick, for example if the
last jiffies update hasn't been seen by the current CPU yet, we may
program the hrtimer to a deadline that is earlier than ktime_get()
because last_jiffies_update is our timestamp base to compute the next
tick.

As a result, we can randomly observe such warning:

	WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 0 at kernel/time/tick-sched.c:794 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick kernel/time/tick-sched.c:791 [inline]
	Call Trace:
	 tick_nohz_irq_exit
	 tick_irq_exit
	 irq_exit
	 exiting_irq
	 smp_call_function_interrupt
	 smp_call_function_single_interrupt
	 call_function_single_interrupt

Therefore, let's rather make sure that the tick expiry cache is sync'ed
with the tick hrtimer deadline, against which it is not supposed to
drift away. The clock hardware instead has its own will and can't be
used as a reliable comparison point.

f99973e18b nohz: Fix buggy tick delay on IRQ storms
When the tick is stopped and we reach the dynticks evaluation code on
IRQ exit, we perform a soft tick restart if we observe an expired timer
from there. It means we program the nearest possible tick but we stay in
dynticks mode (ts->tick_stopped = 1) because we may need to stop the tick
again after that expired timer is handled.

Now this solution works most of the time but if we suffer an IRQ storm
and those interrupts trigger faster than the hardware clockevents min
delay, our tick won't fire until that IRQ storm is finished.

Here is the problem: on IRQ exit we reprog the timer to at least
NOW() + min_clockevents_delay. Another IRQ fires before the tick so we
reschedule again to NOW() + min_clockevents_delay, etc... The tick
is eternally rescheduled min_clockevents_delay ahead.

A solution is to simply remove this soft tick restart. After all
the normal dynticks evaluation path can handle 0 delay just fine. And
by doing that we benefit from the optimization branch which avoids
clock reprogramming if the clockevents deadline hasn't changed since
the last reprog. This fixes our issue because we don't do repetitive
clock reprog that always add hardware min delay.

As a side effect it should even optimize the 0 delay path in general.

411fe24e6b nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers, again
This restores commit:

  24b91e360ef5: ("nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers")

... which got reverted by commit:

  558e8e27e73f: ('Revert "nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers"')

... due to a regression where CPUs spuriously stopped ticking.

The bug happened when a tick fired too early past its expected expiration:
on IRQ exit the tick was scheduled again to the same deadline but skipped
reprogramming because ts->next_tick still kept in cache the deadline.
This has been fixed now with resetting ts->next_tick from the tick
itself. Extra care has also been taken to prevent from obsolete values
throughout CPU hotplug operations.

When the tick is stopped and an interrupt occurs afterward, we check on
that interrupt exit if the next tick needs to be rescheduled. If it
doesn't need any update, we don't want to do anything.

In order to check if the tick needs an update, we compare it against the
clockevent device deadline. Now that's a problem because the clockevent
device is at a lower level than the tick itself if it is implemented
on top of hrtimer.

Every hrtimer share this clockevent device. So comparing the next tick
deadline against the clockevent device deadline is wrong because the
device may be programmed for another hrtimer whose deadline collides
with the tick. As a result we may end up not reprogramming the tick
accidentally.

In a worst case scenario under full dynticks mode, the tick stops firing
as it is supposed to every 1hz, leaving /proc/stat stalled:

      Task in a full dynticks CPU
      ----------------------------

      * hrtimer A is queued 2 seconds ahead
      * the tick is stopped, scheduled 1 second ahead
      * tick fires 1 second later
      * on tick exit, nohz schedules the tick 1 second ahead but sees
        the clockevent device is already programmed to that deadline,
        fooled by hrtimer A, the tick isn't rescheduled.
      * hrtimer A is cancelled before its deadline
      * tick never fires again until an interrupt happens...

In order to fix this, store the next tick deadline to the tick_sched
local structure and reuse that value later to check whether we need to
reprogram the clock after an interrupt.

On the other hand, ts->sleep_length still wants to know about the next
clock event and not just the tick, so we want to improve the related
comment to avoid confusion.

b7eaf1aab9 cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely
The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to
underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases.

That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on
a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with
it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
register.  Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs
were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum
P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case.
The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are
requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after
a while again.  That causes the actual frequency of the processor to
visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion
which clearly is not desirable.

That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task
migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be
reduced by the utilization of the migrated task.  If that happens,
the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will
attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away.  That
may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally
busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that
CPU already.

This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are
shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy
utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values
over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the
frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway.  On
systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance
adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases.

On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization
metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose
frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if
that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future
and its frequency should not be reduced.

To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code.
Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the
current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced.
If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the
governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all
that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new
frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor
will skip the frequency update.

Pavel reports that it causes occasional boot hangs for him that seem to
depend on just how the machine was booted.  In particular, his machine
hangs at around the PCI fixups of the EHCI USB host controller, but only
hangs from cold boot, not from a warm boot.

Thomas Gleixner suspecs it's a CPU hotplug interaction, particularly
since Pavel also saw suspend/resume issues that seem to be related.
We're reverting for now while trying to figure out the root cause.

7bdb59f1ad tick/nohz: Fix possible missing clock reprog after tick soft restart
ts->next_tick keeps track of the next tick deadline in order to optimize
clock programmation on irq exit and avoid redundant clock device writes.

Now if ts->next_tick missed an update, we may spuriously miss a clock
reprog later as the nohz code is fooled by an obsolete next_tick value.

This is what happens here on a specific path: when we observe an
expired timer from the nohz update code on irq exit, we perform a soft
tick restart which simply fires the closest possible tick without
actually exiting the nohz mode and restoring a periodic state. But we
forget to update ts->next_tick accordingly.

As a result, after the next tick resulting from such soft tick restart,
the nohz code sees a stale value on ts->next_tick which doesn't match
the clock deadline that just expired. If that obsolete ts->next_tick
value happens to collide with the actual next tick deadline to be
scheduled, we may spuriously bypass the clock reprogramming. In the
worst case, the tick may never fire again.

Fix this with a ts->next_tick reset on soft tick restart.

57ccdf449f tick/nohz: Prevent stopping the tick on an offline CPU
can_stop_full_tick() has no check for offline cpus. So it allows to stop
the tick on an offline cpu from the interrupt return path, which is wrong
and subsequently makes irq_work_needs_cpu() warn about being called for an
offline cpu.

Commit f7ea0fd639c2c4 ("tick: Don't invoke tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() if
the cpu is offline") added prevention for can_stop_idle_tick(), but forgot
to do the same in can_stop_full_tick(). Add it.

08d0725992 tick/nohz: Fix softlockup on scheduler stalls in kvm guest
tick_nohz_start_idle() is prevented to be called if the idle tick can't 
be stopped since commit 1f3b0f8243cb934 ("tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle 
enter"). As a result, after suspend/resume the host machine, full dynticks 
kvm guest will softlockup:

 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 26s! [swapper/0:0]

cpu3 65 2 328 6552 1732 0 0 11 0 0

The idle and iowait states are weird 0 for cpu0(housekeeping). 

The bug is present in both guest and host kernels, and they both have 
cpu0's idle and iowait states issue, however, host kernel's suspend/resume 
path etc will touch watchdog to avoid the softlockup.

- The watchdog will not be touched in tick_nohz_stop_idle path (need be 
  touched since the scheduler stall is expected) if idle_active flags are 
  not detected.
- The idle and iowait states will not be accounted when exit idle loop 
  (resched or interrupt) if idle start time and idle_active flags are 
  not set. 

This patch fixes it by reverting commit 1f3b0f8243cb934 since can't stop 
idle tick doesn't mean can't be idle.

1f3b0f8243 tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle enter
tick_nohz_start_idle is called before checking whether the idle tick can be
stopped. If the tick cannot be stopped, calling tick_nohz_start_idle() is
pointless and just wasting CPU cycles.

Only invoke tick_nohz_start_idle() when can_stop_idle_tick() returns true. A
short one minute observation of the effect on ARM64 shows a reduction of calls
by 1.5% thus optimizing the idle entry sequence.

a683f390b9 timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possible
The wheel clock is stale when a CPU goes into a long idle sleep. This has the
side effect that timers which are queued end up in the outer wheel levels.
That results in coarser granularity.

To solve this, we keep track of the idle state and forward the wheel clock
whenever possible.

1f41906a6f sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accounting
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask
mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic
mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz
subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state
"ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface
with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead
reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the
tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that.
If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the
CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario.

Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates:
cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it
assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that
cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that
happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function
just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long
idle periods behind.

In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the
previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a
task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period.

So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know
what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account
the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

cee1afce30 sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespace
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.

Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:

	update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

f009a7a767 timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_t
The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the
type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it.

But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use
atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our
tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from
possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.

b78783000d posix-cpu-timers: Migrate to use new tick dependency mask model
Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
posix cpu timers tick dependency, migrate the latter to the new mask.

In order to keep track of the running timers and expose the tick
dependency accordingly, we must probe the timers queuing and dequeuing
on threads and process lists.

Unfortunately it implies both task and signal level dependencies. We
should be able to further optimize this and merge all that on the task
level dependency, at the cost of a bit of complexity and may be overhead.

76d92ac305 sched: Migrate sched to use new tick dependency mask model
Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
sched tick dependency, migrate sched to the new mask.

Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the
tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by
order of priority:

SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime
SCHED_FIFO    : Don't need the tick (no round-robin)
SCHED_RR      : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority
                for round robin (simplified with checking if more than
                one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority).
SCHED_NORMAL  : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin.

We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick
dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy
concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation.

Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get
rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu
timers.

Perf needs the tick for two situations:

1) Freq events. We could set the tick dependency when those are
installed on a CPU context. But setting a global dependency on top of
the global freq events accounting is much easier. If people want that
to be optimized, we can still refine that on the per-CPU tick dependency
level. This patch dooesn't change the current behaviour anyway.

2) Throttled events: this is a per-cpu dependency.

d027d45d8a nohz: New tick dependency mask
The tick dependency is evaluated on every IRQ and context switch. This
consists is a batch of checks which determine whether it is safe to
stop the tick or not. These checks are often split in many details:
posix cpu timers, scheduler, sched clock, perf events.... each of which
are made of smaller details: posix cpu timer involves checking process
wide timers then thread wide timers. Perf involves checking freq events
then more per cpu details.

Checking these informations asynchronously every time we update the full
dynticks state bring avoidable overhead and a messy layout.

Let's introduce instead tick dependency masks: one for system wide
dependency (unstable sched clock, freq based perf events), one for CPU
wide dependency (sched, throttling perf events), and task/signal level
dependencies (posix cpu timers). The subsystems are responsible
for setting and clearing their dependency through a set of APIs that will
take care of concurrent dependency mask modifications and kick targets
to restart the relevant CPU tick whenever needed.

This new dependency engine stays beside the old one until all subsystems
