sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking
The idea of runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to weight)
was proposed by Paul Turner and Ben Segall, and it is still followed by
this rewrite. This rewrite aims to solve the following issues:
1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is
updated at the granularity of an entity at a time, which results in the
cfs_rq's load average is stale or partially updated: at any time, only
one entity is up to date, all other entities are effectively lagging
behind. This is undesirable.
To illustrate, if we have n runnable entities in the cfs_rq, as time
elapses, they certainly become outdated:
t0: cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_old, ..., en_old }
and when we update:
t1: update e1, then we have cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_old, ..., en_old }
t2: update e2, then we have cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_new, ..., en_old }
...
We solve this by combining all runnable entities' load averages together
in cfs_rq's avg, and update the cfs_rq's avg as a whole. This is based
on the fact that if we regard the update as a function, then:
w * update(e) = update(w * e) and
update(e1) + update(e2) = update(e1 + e2), then
w1 * update(e1) + w2 * update(e2) = update(w1 * e1 + w2 * e2)
therefore, by this rewrite, we have an entirely updated cfs_rq at the
time we update it:
t1: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new }
t2: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new }
...
2. cfs_rq's load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other
task_group's per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average
contributes to the load.
The basic idea behind runnable load average (the same for utilization)
is that the blocked state is taken into account as opposed to only
accounting for the currently runnable state. Therefore, the average
should include both the runnable/running and blocked load averages.
This rewrite does that.
In addition, we also combine runnable/running and blocked averages
of all entities into the cfs_rq's average, and update it together at
once. This is based on the fact that:
update(runnable) + update(blocked) = update(runnable + blocked)
This significantly reduces the code as we don't need to separately
maintain/update runnable/running load and blocked load.
3. How task_group entities' share is calculated is complex and imprecise.
We reduce the complexity in this rewrite to allow a very simple rule:
the task_group's load_avg is aggregated from its per CPU cfs_rqs's
load_avgs. Then group entity's weight is simply proportional to its
own cfs_rq's load_avg / task_group's load_avg. To illustrate,
if a task_group has { cfs_rq1, cfs_rq2, ..., cfs_rqn }, then,
task_group_avg = cfs_rq1_avg + cfs_rq2_avg + ... + cfs_rqn_avg, then
cfs_rqx's entity's share = cfs_rqx_avg / task_group_avg * task_group's share
To sum up, this rewrite in principle is equivalent to the current one, but
fixes the issues described above. Turns out, it significantly reduces the
code complexity and hence increases clarity and efficiency. In addition,
the new averages are more smooth/continuous (no spurious spikes and valleys)
and updated more consistently and quickly to reflect the load dynamics.
As a result, we have less load tracking overhead, better performance,
and especially better power efficiency due to more balanced load.

Josef Bacik reported that Facebook sees better performance with their

I noticed that it doesn't pay attention to the wakeup of a many partner

Correct that, letting explicit domain flags override the heuristic.
While at it, adjust task_struct bits, we don't need a 64-bit counter.

sched: Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint
Mathieu reported that since
317f394160e9 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") trace_sched_wakeup() can happen out of
context of the waker.
This is a problem when you want to analyse wakeup paths because it is
now very hard to correlate the wakeup event to whoever issued the
wakeup.
OTOH trace_sched_wakeup() is issued at the point where we set
p->state = TASK_RUNNING, which is right were we hand the task off to
the scheduler, so this is an important point when looking at
scheduling behaviour, up to here its been the wakeup path everything
hereafter is due to scheduler policy.
To bridge this gap, introduce a second tracepoint: trace_sched_waking.
It is guaranteed to be called in the waker context.

sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness
The current load balancer may not try to prevent a task from moving
out of a preferred node to a less preferred node. The reason for this
being:
- Since sched features NUMA and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER are disabled by
default, migrate_degrades_locality() always returns false.
- Even if NUMA_RESIST_LOWER were to be enabled, if its cache hot,
migrate_degrades_locality() never gets called.
The above behaviour can mean that tasks can move out of their
preferred node but they may be eventually be brought back to their
preferred node by numa balancer (due to higher numa faults).
To avoid the above, this commit merges migrate_degrades_locality() and
migrate_improves_locality(). It also replaces 3 sched features NUMA,
NUMA_FAVOUR_HIGHER and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER by a single sched feature
NUMA.

sched/fair: Test list head instead of list entry in throttle_cfs_rq()
According to the comments, we need to test if this is
the first throttled task, however, list_empty() tests on
the entry cfs_rq->throttled_list, not the head, this is wrong.
This is a bug because we don't re-init the list entry after
removing it from the list, so list_empty() could return false
even if the list is really empty.

bluetooth: fix list handling
Commit
835a6a2f8603 ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.
But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
An.

"It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
different areas.
The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
drivers tree-wide.
There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original
hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.
The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.
The highlights include:
- Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi)
- Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker
(Christophe Vu-Brugier)
- Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover)
- Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch)
- Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp)
- Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory

x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code
Jan Kara and Thomas Gleixner reported boot crashes in the FPU
code:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
RIP: 0010:[<
ffffffff81048a6c>] [<
ffffffff81048a6c>] mxcsr_feature_mask_init+0x1c/0x40
2b:* 0f ae 85 00 fe ff ff fxsave -0x200(%rbp)
and bisected it down to the following FPU commit:
91a8c2a5b43f ("x86/fpu: Clean up and fix MXCSR handling")
The reason is that the on-stack FPU registers state variable,
used by the FXSAVE instruction, did not have the required
minimum alignment of 16 bytes, causing the general protection
fault.
This is most likely a GCC bug in older GCC versions, but the
offending commit also added a bogus extra 32-byte alignment
(which GCC ignored too).
So fix this bug by making the variable static again, but also
mark it __initdata this time, because fpu__init_system_mxcsr()
is now an __init function.

sched/numa: Fix numa balancing stats in /proc/pid/sched
Commit
44dba3d5d6a1 ("sched: Refactor task_struct to use
numa_faults instead of numa_* pointers") modified the way
tsk->numa_faults stats are accounted.
However that commit never touched show_numa_stats() that is displayed
in /proc/pid/sched and thus the numbers displayed in /proc/pid/sched
don't match the actual numbers.
Fix it by making sure that /proc/pid/sched reflects the task
fault numbers. Also add group fault stats too.
Also couple of more modifications are added here:
1. Format changes:
- Previously we would list two entries per node, one for private
and one for shared. Also the home node info was listed in each entry.
- Now preferred node, total_faults and current node are
displayed separately.
- Now there is one entry per node, that lists private,shared task and
group faults.
2. Unit changes:
- p->numa_pages_migrated was getting reset after every read of
/proc/pid/sched. It's more useful to have absolute numbers since
differential migrations between two accesses can be more easily
calculated.

ext4: correctly migrate a file with a hole at the beginning
Currently ext4_ind_migrate() doesn't correctly handle a file which

delayed allocation write to the "hole", this would reclaim the same data
blocks again and results in fs corruption.

ext4: be more strict when migrating to non-extent based file
Currently the check in ext4_ind_migrate() is not enough before doing the
real conversion:
a) delayed allocated extents could bypass the check on eh->eh_entries
and eh->eh_depth
This can be demonstrated by this script
xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 4k" -c "pwrite 8k 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile
where testfile has two extents but still be converted to non-extent
based file format.
b) only extent length is checked but not the offset, which would result
in data lose (delalloc) or fs corruption (nodelalloc), because
non-extent based file only supports at most (12 + 2^10 + 2^20 + 2^30)
blocks
This can be demostrated by
xfs_io -fc "pwrite 5T 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile

ext4: fix reservation release on invalidatepage for delalloc fs
On delalloc enabled file system on invalidatepage operation
in ext4_da_page_release_reservation() we want to clear the delayed
buffer and remove the extent covering the delayed buffer from the extent
status tree.
However currently there is a bug where on the systems with page size >
block size we will always remove extents from the start of the page
regardless where the actual delayed buffers are positioned in the page.
This leads to the errors like this:
EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_da_release_space:1225:
ext4_da_release_space: ino 13, to_free 1 with only 0 reserved data
blocks
This however can cause data loss on writeback time if the file system is
in ENOSPC condition because we're releasing reservation for someones
else delayed buffer.
Fix this by only removing extents that corresponds to the part of the
page we want to invalidate.
This problem is reproducible by the following fio receipt (however I was
only able to reproduce it with fio-2.1 or older.

The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE

- It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.
- Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
