Since sched_delayed tasks remain queued even after blocking, the load
balancer can migrate them between runqueues while PSI considers them
to be asleep. As a result, it misreads the migration requeue followed
by a wakeup as a double queue:
psi: inconsistent task state! task=... cpu=... psi_flags=4 clear=. set=4
First, call psi_enqueue() after p->sched_class->enqueue_task(). A
wakeup will clear p->se.sched_delayed while a migration will not, so
psi can use that flag to tell them apart.
Then teach psi to migrate any "sleep" state when delayed-dequeue tasks
are being migrated.
Delayed-dequeue tasks can be revived by ttwu_runnable(), which will
call down with a new ENQUEUE_DELAYED. Instead of further complicating
the wakeup conditional in enqueue_task(), identify migration contexts
instead and default to wakeup handling for all other cases.
It's not just the warning in dmesg, the task state corruption causes a
permanent CPU pressure indication, which messes with workload/machine
health monitoring.

It was reported that in moving to 6.1, a larger then 10%
regression was seen in the performance of
clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID,...).
Using a simple reproducer, I found:
5.10:
100000000 calls in 24345994193 ns => 243.460 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24288172050 ns => 242.882 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24289135225 ns => 242.891 ns per call
6.1:
100000000 calls in 28248646742 ns => 282.486 ns per call
100000000 calls in 28227055067 ns => 282.271 ns per call
100000000 calls in 28177471287 ns => 281.775 ns per call
The cause of this was finally narrowed down to the addition of
psi_account_irqtime() in update_rq_clock_task(), in commit
52b1364ba0b1 ("sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ
pressure").
In my initial attempt to resolve this, I leaned towards moving
all accounting work out of the clock_gettime() call path, but it
wasn't very pretty, so it will have to wait for a later deeper
rework. Instead, Peter shared this approach:
Rework psi_account_irqtime() to use its own psi_irq_time base
for accounting, and move it out of the hotpath, calling it
instead from sched_tick() and __schedule().
In testing this, we found the importance of ensuring
psi_account_irqtime() is run under the rq_lock, which Johannes
Weiner helpfully explained, so also add some lockdep annotations
to make that requirement clear.
With this change the performance is back in-line with 5.10:
6.1+fix:
100000000 calls in 24297324597 ns => 242.973 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24318869234 ns => 243.189 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24291564588 ns => 242.916 ns per call

The commit d583d360a620 ("psi: Fix psi state corruption when schedule()
races with cgroup move") fixed a race problem by making cgroup_move_task()
use task->psi_flags instead of looking at the scheduler state.
We can extend task->psi_flags usage to CPU migration, which should be
a minor optimization for performance and code simplicity.

Now PSI already tracked workload pressure stall information for
CPU, memory and IO. Apart from these, IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have
obvious impact on some workload productivity, such as web service
workload.
When CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, we can get IRQ/SOFTIRQ delta time
from update_rq_clock_task(), in which we can record that delta
to CPU curr task's cgroups as PSI_IRQ_FULL status.
Note we don't use PSI_IRQ_SOME since IRQ/SOFTIRQ always happen in
the current task on the CPU, make nothing productive could run
even if it were runnable, so we only use PSI_IRQ_FULL.

kernel/sched/sched.h is a weird mix of ad-hoc headers included
in the middle of the header.
Two of them rely on being included in the middle of kernel/sched/sched.h,
due to definitions they require:
- "stat.h" needs the rq definitions.
- "autogroup.h" needs the task_group definition.
Move the inclusion of these two files out of kernel/sched/sched.h, and

Move of the rest of the header dependencies to the top of the

We've noticed cases where tasks in a cgroup are stalled on memory but
there is little memory FULL pressure since tasks stay on the runqueue
in reclaim.
A simple example involves a single threaded program that keeps leaking
and touching large amounts of memory. It runs in a cgroup with swap
enabled, memory.high set at 10M and cpu.max ratio set at 5%. Though
there is significant CPU pressure and memory SOME, there is barely any
memory FULL since the task enters reclaim and stays on the runqueue.
However, this memory-bound task is effectively stalled on memory and
we expect memory FULL to match memory SOME in this scenario.
The code is confused about memstall && running, thinking there is a
stalled task and a productive task when there's only one task: a
reclaimer that's counted as both. To fix this, we redefine the
condition for PSI_MEM_FULL to check that all running tasks are in an
active memstall instead of checking that there are no running tasks.
case PSI_MEM_FULL:
- return unlikely(tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] && !tasks[NR_RUNNING]);
+ return unlikely(tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] &&
+ tasks[NR_RUNNING] == tasks[NR_MEMSTALL_RUNNING]);
This will capture reclaimers. It will also capture tasks that called
psi_memstall_enter() and are about to sleep, but this should be
negligible noise.

The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are
update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se)
The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is
used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In
order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass
the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly.
Then the new helpers are
update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct sched_statistics *stats)
which are independent of fair sched class.
To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when
!schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also
introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c,
__update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct sched_statistics *stats)
The size of vmlinux as follows,
Before After
Size of vmlinux 826308552 826304640
The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after
the change.
I also compared the sched performance with 'perf bench sched pipe',
suggested by Mel. The result as followsi (in usecs/op),
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.
After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,
struct task_struct {
...
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_rt_entity rt;
struct sched_dl_entity dl;
...
struct sched_statistics stats;
...
};
Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -
struct sched_entity_stats {
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_statistics stats;
} __no_randomize_layout;
Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.
The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.
As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5
[These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is
because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
different test machine.]
Almost no impact on the sched performance.
No functional change.

The situation around sched_info is somewhat complicated, it is used by
sched_stats and delayacct and, indirectly, kvm.
If SCHEDSTATS=Y (but disabled by default) sched_info_on() is
unconditionally true -- this is the case for all distro kernel configs
I checked.
If for some reason SCHEDSTATS=N, but TASK_DELAY_ACCT=Y, then
sched_info_on() can return false when delayacct is disabled,
presumably because there would be no other users left; except kvm is.
Instead of complicating matters further by accurately accounting
sched_stat and kvm state, simply unconditionally enable when
SCHED_INFO=Y, matching the common distro case.

The commit 36b238d57172 ("psi: Optimize switching tasks inside shared
cgroups") only update cgroups whose state actually changes during a
task switch only in task preempt case, not in task sleep case.
We actually don't need to clear and set TSK_ONCPU state for common cgroups
of next and prev task in sleep case, that can save many psi_group_change
especially when most activity comes from one leaf cgroup.
sleep before:
psi_dequeue()
while ((group = iterate_groups(prev))) # all ancestors
psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_RUNNING|TSK_ONCPU)
psi_task_switch()
while ((group = iterate_groups(next))) # all ancestors
psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU)
sleep after:
psi_dequeue()
nop
psi_task_switch()
while ((group = iterate_groups(next))) # until (prev & next)
psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU)
while ((group = iterate_groups(prev))) # all ancestors
psi_group_change(prev, .clear=common?TSK_RUNNING:TSK_RUNNING|TSK_ONCPU)
When a voluntary sleep switches to another task, we remove one call of
psi_group_change() for every common cgroup ancestor of the two tasks.

Move the reclaim detection from the timer tick to the task state
tracking machinery using the recently added ONCPU state. And we
also add task psi_flags changes checking in the psi_task_switch()
optimization to update the parents properly.
In terms of performance and cost, this ONCPU task state tracking
is not cheaper than previous timer tick in aggregate. But the code is
simpler and shorter this way, so it's a maintainability win. And
Johannes did some testing with perf bench, the performace and cost
changes would be acceptable for real workloads.
Thanks to Johannes Weiner for pointing out the psi_task_switch()
optimization things and the clearer changelog.

The task->flags is a 32-bits flag, in which 31 bits have already been
consumed. So it is hardly to introduce other new per process flag.
Currently there're still enough spaces in the bit-field section of
task_struct, so we can define the memstall state as a single bit in
task_struct instead.
This patch also removes an out-of-date comment pointed by Matthew.

When switching tasks running on a CPU, the psi state of a cgroup
containing both of these tasks does not change. Right now, we don't
exploit that, and can perform many unnecessary state changes in nested
hierarchies, especially when most activity comes from one leaf cgroup.
This patch implements an optimization where we only update cgroups
whose state actually changes during a task switch. These are all
cgroups that contain one task but not the other, up to the first
shared ancestor. When both tasks are in the same group, we don't need
to update anything at all.
We can identify the first shared ancestor by walking the groups of the
incoming task until we see TSK_ONCPU set on the local CPU; that's the
first group that also contains the outgoing task.
The new psi_task_switch() is similar to psi_task_change(). To allow
code reuse, move the task flag maintenance code into a new function
and the poll/avg worker wakeups into the shared psi_group_change().

For simplicity, cpu pressure is defined as having more than one
runnable task on a given CPU. This works on the system-level, but it
has limitations in a cgrouped reality: When cpu.max is in use, it
doesn't capture the time in which a task is not executing on the CPU
due to throttling. Likewise, it doesn't capture the time in which a
competing cgroup is occupying the CPU - meaning it only reflects
cgroup-internal competitive pressure, not outside pressure.
Enable tracking of currently executing tasks, and then change the
definition of cpu pressure in a cgroup from
NR_RUNNING > 1
to
NR_RUNNING > ON_CPU
which will capture the effects of cpu.max as well as competition from
outside the cgroup.
After this patch, a cgroup running `stress -c 1` with a cpu.max
setting of 5000 10000 shows ~50% continuous CPU pressure.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<linux/cputime.h> into <linux/sched/cputime.h>
Move cputime related functionality out of <linux/sched.h>, as most code
that includes <linux/sched.h> does not use that functionality.
Move data types that are not included in task_struct directly to
the signal definitions, into <linux/sched/signal.h>.
Also merge the (small) existing <linux/cputime.h> header into <linux/sched/cputime.h>.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:
- There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
debug facility.
(Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)
- Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
Weisbecker)
- Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)
- Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)

The schedstat_val() macro's behavior is kind of surprising: when
schedstat is runtime disabled, it returns zero. Rename it to
schedstat_val_or_zero().
There's also a need for a similar macro which doesn't have the 'if
(schedstat_enable())' check, to avoid doing the check twice. Create a
new 'schedstat_val()' macro for that.

The schedstat_*() macros are inconsistent: most of them take a pointer
and a field which the macro combines, whereas schedstat_set() takes the
already combined ptr->field.
The already combined ptr->field argument is actually more intuitive and
easier to use, and there's no reason to require the user to split the
variable up, so convert the macros to use the combined argument.
