In order to properly define a trade-off strategy between increased energy

variations with performance variations.
Thus, both performance and energy metrics must be expressed in comparable

This patch introduces the function:

sched/{fair,tune}: track RUNNABLE tasks impact on per CPU boost value
When per-task boosting is enabled, every time a task enters/exits a CPU
its boost value could impact the currently selected OPP for that CPU.
Thus, the "aggregated" boost value for that CPU potentially needs to
be updated to match the current maximum boost value among all the tasks
currently RUNNABLE on that CPU.
This patch introduces the required support to keep track of which boost
groups are impacting a CPU. Each time a task is enqueued/dequeued to/from
a CPU its boost group is used to increment a per-cpu counter of RUNNABLE
tasks on that CPU.
Only when the number of runnable tasks for a specific boost group
becomes 1 or 0 the corresponding boost group changes its effects on
that CPU, specifically:
a) boost_group::tasks == 1: this boost group starts to impact the CPU
b) boost_group::tasks == 0: this boost group stops to impact the CPU
In each of these two conditions the aggregation function:
sched_cpu_update(cpu)
could be required to run in order to identify the new maximum boost
value required for the CPU.
The proposed patch minimizes the number of times the aggregation
function is executed while still providing the required support to
always boost a CPU to the maximum boost value required by all its

Task SchedTune CGroup Boost Value
T1 root 0
T2 low-priority 10

In these conditions we expect a CPU to be configured according to a
proper "aggregation" of the required boost values for all the tasks

A suitable aggregation function is the one which tracks the MAX boost

always satisfy the most boost demanding task while at the same time:
a) boosting all the concurrently scheduled tasks thus reducing
potential co-scheduling side-effects on demanding tasks
b) reduce the number of frequency switch requested towards SchedDVFS,
thus being more friendly to architectures with slow frequency
switching times
Every time a task enters/exits the RQ of a CPU the max boost value
should be updated considering all the boost groups currently "affecting"

on that CPU.
This patch introduces the required support to keep track of the boost

sched/tune: add initial support for CGroups based boosting
To support task performance boosting, the usage of a single knob has the
advantage to be a simple solution, both from the implementation and the
usability standpoint. However, on a real system it can be difficult to
identify a single value for the knob which fits the needs of multiple
different tasks. For example, some kernel threads and/or user-space
background services should be better managed the "standard" way while we
still want to be able to boost the performance of specific workloads.
In order to improve the flexibility of the task boosting mechanism this
patch is the first of a small series which extends the previous
implementation to introduce a "per task group" support.
This first patch introduces just the basic CGroups support, a new
"schedtune" CGroups controller is added which allows to configure
different boost value for different groups of tasks.
To keep the implementation simple but still effective for a boosting
strategy, the new controller:
1. allows only a two layer hierarchy
2. supports only a limited number of boost groups
A two layer hierarchy allows to place each task either:
a) in the root control group
thus being subject to a system-wide boosting value
b) in a child of the root group
thus being subject to the specific boost value defined by that
"boost group"
The limited number of "boost groups" supported is mainly motivated by
the observation that in a real system it could be useful to have only
few classes of tasks which deserve different treatment.
For example, background vs foreground or interactive vs low-priority.
As an additional benefit, a limited number of boost groups allows also
to have a simpler implementation especially for the code required to
compute the boost value for CPUs which have runnable tasks belonging to
different boost groups.

sched/fair: add function to convert boost value into "margin"
The basic idea of the boost knob is to "artificially inflate" a signal
to make a task or logical CPU appears more demanding than it actually
is. Independently from the specific signal, a consistent and possibly
simple semantic for the concept of "signal boosting" must define:
1. how we translate the boost percentage into a "margin" value to be added
to the original signal to inflate
2. what is the meaning of a boost value from a user-space perspective
This patch provides the implementation of a possible boost semantic,
named "Signal Proportional Compensation" (SPC), where the boost
percentage (BP) is used to compute a margin (M) which is proportional to
the complement of the original signal (OS):
M = BP * (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE - OS)
The computed margin then added to the OS to obtain the Boosted Signal (BS)
BS = OS + M
The proposed boost semantic has these main features:
- each signal gets a boost which is proportional to its delta with respect
to the maximum available capacity in the system (i.e. SCHED_LOAD_SCALE)
- a 100% boosting has a clear understanding from a user-space perspective,
since it means simply to run (possibly) "all" tasks at the max OPP
- each boosting value means to improve the task performance by a quantity
which is proportional to the maximum achievable performance on that
system
Thus this semantics is somehow forcing a behaviour which is:
50% boosting means to run at half-way between the current and the
maximum performance which a task could achieve on that system
This patch provides the code to implement a fast integer division to
convert a boost percentage (BP) value into a margin (M).

This patch is the first of a series which provides a simple interface to
define a tuning knob. One system-wide "boost" tunable is exposed via:
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost
which can be configured in the range [0..100], to define a percentage
where:
- 0% boost requires to operate in "standard" mode by scheduling
tasks at the minimum capacities required by the workload demand
- 100% boost requires to push at maximum the task performances,
"regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
efficiency.

see [0].
This patch implements a shim layer between the Linux scheduler and the
cpufreq subsystem. The interface accepts capacity requests from the
CFS, RT and deadline sched classes. The requests from each sched class
are summed on each CPU with a margin applied to the CFS and RT
capacity requests to provide some headroom. Deadline requests are
expected to be precise enough given their nature to not require
headroom. The maximum total capacity request for a CPU in a frequency
domain drives the requested frequency for that domain.
Policy is determined by both the sched classes and this shim layer.
Note that this algorithm is event-driven. There is no polling loop to
check cpu idle time nor any other method which is unsynchronized with
the scheduler, aside from a throttling mechanism to ensure frequency
changes are not attempted faster than the hardware can accommodate them.

sched_groups, but for misfitting tasks it is necessary to introduce
exceptions to migrate tasks against usual metrics and optimize
throughput.
This patch ensures the following load-balance for mixed capacity systems
(e.g. ARM big.LITTLE) for always-running tasks:
1. Place a task on each cpu starting in order from cpus with highest
capacity to lowest until all cpus are in use (i.e. one task on each
cpu).
2. Once all cpus are in use balance according to compute capacity such
that load per capacity is approximately the same regardless of the
compute capacity (i.e. big cpus get more tasks than little cpus).
Necessary changes are introduced in find_busiest_group(),
calculate_imbalance(), and find_busiest_queue(). This includes passing
the group_type on to find_busiest_queue() through struct lb_env, which
is currently only considers imbalance and not the imbalance situation
(group_type).
To avoid taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for
misfit tasks, each cpu is responsible for tracking misfit tasks
themselves and update the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task
utilization when tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

sched: Add group_misfit_task load-balance type
To maximize throughput in systems with reduced capacity cpus (e.g.
high RT/IRQ load and/or ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider
task and cpu utilization as well as per-cpu compute capacity when
load-balancing in addition to the current average load based
load-balancing policy. Tasks that are scheduled on a reduced capacity
cpu need to be identified and migrated to a higher capacity cpu if
possible.
To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: group_misfit_task. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has tasks that are not suitable for its
per-cpu capacity. group_misfit_task is only considered if the system is
not overloaded in any other way (group_imbalanced or group_overloaded).
Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each cpu is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

sched: Do eas idle balance regardless of the rq avg idle value
EAS relies on idle balance to migrate a misfit task towards a cpu with
higher capacity.
When such a cpu becomes idle, idle balance should happen even if the rq
avg idle is smaller than the sched migration cost (default 500us).
The rq avg idle is updated during the wakeup of a task in case the rq has
a non-null idle_stamp. This value stays unchanged and valid until the next
task wakes up on this cpu after an idle period.
So rq avg idle could be smaller than sched migration cost preventing the
idle balance from happening. In this case we would be at the mercy of
wakeup, periodic or nohz-idle load balancing to put another task on this
cpu.
To break this dependency towards rq avg idle make EAS idle balance
independent from this rq avg idle has to be larger than sched migration
cost.

sched: Update max cpu capacity in case of max frequency constraints
Wakeup balancing uses cpu capacity awareness and needs to know the
system-wide maximum cpu capacity.
Patch "sched: Store system-wide maximum cpu capacity in root domain"
finds the system-wide maximum cpu capacity during scheduler domain
hierarchy setup. This is sufficient as long as maximum frequency
invariance is not enabled.
If it is enabled, the system-wide maximum cpu capacity can change
between scheduler domain hierarchy setups due to frequency capping.
The cpu capacity is changed in update_cpu_capacity() which is called in
load balance on the lowest scheduler domain hierarchy level. To be able
to know if a change in cpu capacity for a certain cpu also has an effect
on the system-wide maximum cpu capacity it is normally necessary to
iterate over all cpus. This would be way too costly. That's why this
patch follows a different approach.
The unsigned long max_cpu_capacity value in struct root_domain is
replaced with a struct max_cpu_capacity, containing value (the
max_cpu_capacity) and cpu (the cpu index of the cpu providing the
maximum cpu_capacity).
Changes to the system-wide maximum cpu capacity and the cpu index are
made if:
1 System-wide maximum cpu capacity < cpu capacity
2 System-wide maximum cpu capacity > cpu capacity and cpu index == cpu
There are no changes to the system-wide maximum cpu capacity in all
other cases.
Atomic read and write access to the pair (max_cpu_capacity.val,
max_cpu_capacity.cpu) is enforced by max_cpu_capacity.lock.
The access to max_cpu_capacity.val in task_fits_max() is still performed
without taking the max_cpu_capacity.lock.
The code to set max cpu capacity in build_sched_domains() has been
removed because the whole functionality is now provided by
update_cpu_capacity() instead.
This approach can introduce errors temporarily, e.g. in case the cpu
currently providing the max cpu capacity has its cpu capacity lowered
due to frequency capping and calls update_cpu_capacity() before any cpu
which might provide the max cpu now.
There is also an outstanding question:
Should the cpu capacity of a cpu going idle be set to a very small
value?

sched: Add over-utilization/tipping point indicator
Energy-aware scheduling is only meant to be active while the system is
_not_ over-utilized. That is, there are spare cycles available to shift
tasks around based on their actual utilization to get a more
energy-efficient task distribution without depriving any tasks. When
above the tipping point task placement is done the traditional way based
on load_avg, spreading the tasks across as many cpus as possible based
on priority scaled load to preserve smp_nice. Below the tipping point we
want to use util_avg instead. We need to define a criteria for when we
make the switch.
The util_avg for each cpu converges towards 100% (1024) regardless of
how many task additional task we may put on it. If we define
over-utilized as:
sum_{cpus}(rq.cfs.avg.util_avg) + margin > sum_{cpus}(rq.capacity)
some individual cpus may be over-utilized running multiple tasks even
when the above condition is false. That should be okay as long as we try
to spread the tasks out to avoid per-cpu over-utilization as much as
possible and if all tasks have the _same_ priority. If the latter isn't
true, we have to consider priority to preserve smp_nice.
For example, we could have n_cpus nice=-10 util_avg=55% tasks and
n_cpus/2 nice=0 util_avg=60% tasks. Balancing based on util_avg we are
likely to end up with nice=-10 tasks sharing cpus and nice=0 tasks
getting their own as we 1.5*n_cpus tasks in total and 55%+55% is less
over-utilized than 55%+60% for those cpus that have to be shared. The
system utilization is only 85% of the system capacity, but we are
breaking smp_nice.
To be sure not to break smp_nice, we have defined over-utilization
conservatively as when any cpu in the system is fully utilized at it's
highest frequency instead:
cpu_rq(any).cfs.avg.util_avg + margin > cpu_rq(any).capacity
IOW, as soon as one cpu is (nearly) 100% utilized, we switch to load_avg
to factor in priority to preserve smp_nice.
With this definition, we can skip periodic load-balance as no cpu has an
always-running task when the system is not over-utilized. All tasks will
be periodic and we can balance them at wake-up. This conservative
condition does however mean that some scenarios that could benefit from
energy-aware decisions even if one cpu is fully utilized would not get
those benefits.
For system where some cpus might have reduced capacity on some cpus
(RT-pressure and/or big.LITTLE), we want periodic load-balance checks as
soon a just a single cpu is fully utilized as it might one of those with
reduced capacity and in that case we want to migrate it.

Scenarios with the busiest group having just one task and the local
being idle on topologies with sched groups with different numbers of
cpus manage to dodge all load-balance bailout conditions resulting the
nr_balance_failed counter to be incremented. This eventually causes a
pointless active migration of the task. This patch prevents this by not
incrementing the counter when the busiest group only has one task.
ASYM_PACKING migrations and migrations due to reduced capacity should
still take place as these are explicitly captured by
need_active_balance().
A better solution would be to not attempt the load-balance in the first
place, but that requires significant changes to the order of bailout
conditions and statistics gathering.

sched: Consider spare cpu capacity at task wake-up
find_idlest_group() selects the wake-up target group purely
based on group load which leads to suboptimal choices in low load
scenarios. An idle group with reduced capacity (due to RT tasks or
different cpu type) isn't necessarily a better target than a lightly
loaded group with higher capacity.
The patch adds spare capacity as an additional group selection
parameter. The target group is now selected based on the following
criteria:
1. Return the group with the cpu with most spare capacity and this
capacity is significant if such group exists. Significant spare capacity
is currently at least 20% to spare.
2. Return the group with the lowest load, unless it is the local group
in which case NULL is returned and the search is continued at the next

sched: Add cpu capacity awareness to wakeup balancing
Wakeup balancing is completely unaware of cpu capacity, cpu utilization
and task utilization. The task is preferably placed on a cpu which is
idle in the instant the wakeup happens. New tasks
(SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} are placed on an idle cpu in the idlest group if
such can be found, otherwise it goes on the least loaded one. Existing
tasks (SD_BALANCE_WAKE) are placed on the previous cpu or an idle cpu
sharing the same last level cache unless the wakee_flips heuristic in
wake_wide() decides to fallback to considering cpus outside SD_LLC.
Hence existing tasks are not guaranteed to get a chance to migrate to a
different group at wakeup in case the current one has reduced cpu
capacity (due RT/IRQ pressure or different uarch e.g. ARM big.LITTLE).
They may eventually get pulled by other cpus doing
periodic/idle/nohz_idle balance, but it may take quite a while before it
happens.
This patch adds capacity awareness to find_idlest_{group,queue} (used by
SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_BALANCE_WAKE under certain circumstances)
such that groups/cpus that can accommodate the waking task based on task
utilization are preferred. In addition, wakeup of existing tasks
(SD_BALANCE_WAKE) is sent through find_idlest_{group,queue} also if the
task doesn't fit the capacity of the previous cpu to allow it to escape
(override wake_affine) when necessary instead of relying on
periodic/idle/nohz_idle balance to eventually sort it out.

ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails early

ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails early
If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before
calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because
ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace
hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still
calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of
the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before
then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed.
Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before
getting to do_init_module().

ARM: Fix broken USB support in multi_v7_defconfig for sunxi devices
Commit
69fb4dcada77 ("power: Add an axp20x-usb-power driver") introduced a
new driver for the USB power supply used on various Allwinner based SBCs.
However, the driver was not added to multi_v7_defconfig which breaks USB
support for some boards (e.g. LeMaker BananaPi) as the kernel will now
turn off the USB power supply during boot by default if the driver isn't
present. (This was not the case in linux 4.3 or lower where the USB power
was always left on.)
Hence, add the driver to multi_v7_defconfig in order to keep USB support
working on those boards that require it.

kvm: x86: only channel 0 of the i8254 is linked to the HPET
While setting the KVM PIT counters in 'kvm_pit_load_count', if
'hpet_legacy_start' is set, the function disables the timer on
channel[0], instead of the respective index 'channel'. This is
because channels 1-3 are not linked to the HPET. Fix the caller
to only activate the special HPET processing for channel 0.

iommu/dma: Use correct offset in map_sg
When mapping a non-page-aligned scatterlist entry, we copy the original
offset to the output DMA address before aligning it to hand off to
iommu_map_sg(), then later adding the IOVA page address portion to get
the final mapped address. However, when the IOVA page size is smaller
than the CPU page size, it is the offset within the IOVA page we want,
not that within the CPU page, which can easily be larger than an IOVA
page and thus result in an incorrect final address.
Fix the bug by taking only the IOVA-aligned part of the offset as the
basis of the DMA address, not the whole thing.
