Lengthy output of sysrq-t may take a lot of time on slow serial console
with lots of processes and CPUs.
So we need to reset NMI-watchdog to avoid spurious lockup messages, and
we also reset softlockup watchdogs on all other CPUs since another CPU
might be blocked waiting for us to process an IPI or stop_machine.
Add to sysrq_sched_debug_show() as what we did in show_state_filter().

register_sched_domain_sysctl() copies the cpu_possible_mask into
sd_sysctl_cpus, but only if sd_sysctl_cpus hasn't already been
allocated (ie, CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set). However, when
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is not set, sd_sysctl_cpus is left
uninitialized (all zeroes) and the kernel may fail to initialize
sched_domain sysctl entries for all possible CPUs.
This is visible to the user if the kernel is booted with maxcpus=n, or
if ACPI tables have been modified to leave CPUs offline, and then
checking for missing /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu* entries.
Fix this by separating the allocation and initialization, and adding a
flag to initialize the possible CPU entries while system booting only.

The util_avg signal computed by PELT is too variable for some use-cases.
For example, a big task waking up after a long sleep period will have its
utilization almost completely decayed. This introduces some latency before
schedutil will be able to pick the best frequency to run a task.
The same issue can affect task placement. Indeed, since the task
utilization is already decayed at wakeup, when the task is enqueued in a
CPU, this can result in a CPU running a big task as being temporarily
represented as being almost empty. This leads to a race condition where
other tasks can be potentially allocated on a CPU which just started to run
a big task which slept for a relatively long period.
Moreover, the PELT utilization of a task can be updated every [ms], thus
making it a continuously changing value for certain longer running
tasks. This means that the instantaneous PELT utilization of a RUNNING
task is not really meaningful to properly support scheduler decisions.
For all these reasons, a more stable signal can do a better job of
representing the expected/estimated utilization of a task/cfs_rq.
Such a signal can be easily created on top of PELT by still using it as
an estimator which produces values to be aggregated on meaningful
events.
This patch adds a simple implementation of util_est, a new signal built on
top of PELT's util_avg where:
util_est(task) = max(task::util_avg, f(task::util_avg@dequeue))
This allows to remember how big a task has been reported by PELT in its
previous activations via f(task::util_avg@dequeue), which is the new
_task_util_est(struct task_struct*) function added by this patch.
If a task should change its behavior and it runs longer in a new
activation, after a certain time its util_est will just track the
original PELT signal (i.e. task::util_avg).
The estimated utilization of cfs_rq is defined only for root ones.
That's because the only sensible consumer of this signal are the
scheduler and schedutil when looking for the overall CPU utilization
due to FAIR tasks.
For this reason, the estimated utilization of a root cfs_rq is simply
defined as:
util_est(cfs_rq) = max(cfs_rq::util_avg, cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued)
where:
cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued = sum(_task_util_est(task))
for each RUNNABLE task on that root cfs_rq
It's worth noting that the estimated utilization is tracked only for
objects of interests, specifically:
- Tasks: to better support tasks placement decisions
- root cfs_rqs: to better support both tasks placement decisions as
well as frequencies selection

- add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h
- remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that

Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:
#include "sched.h"

The load balancer uses runnable_load_avg as load indicator. For
!cgroup this is:
runnable_load_avg = \Sum se->avg.load_avg ; where se->on_rq
That is, a direct sum of all runnable tasks on that runqueue. As
opposed to load_avg, which is a sum of all tasks on the runqueue,
which includes a blocked component.
However, in the cgroup case, this comes apart since the group entities
are always runnable, even if most of their constituent entities are
blocked.
Therefore introduce a runnable_weight which for task entities is the
same as the regular weight, but for group entities is a fraction of
the entity weight and represents the runnable part of the group
runqueue.
Then propagate this load through the PELT hierarchy to arrive at an
effective runnable load avgerage -- which we should not confuse with
the canonical runnable load average.

When an entity migrates in (or out) of a runqueue, we need to add (or
remove) its contribution from the entire PELT hierarchy, because even
non-runnable entities are included in the load average sums.
In order to do this we have some propagation logic that updates the
PELT tree, however the way it 'propagates' the runnable (or load)
change is (more or less):
tg->weight * grq->avg.load_avg
ge->avg.load_avg = ------------------------------
tg->load_avg
But that is the expression for ge->weight, and per the definition of
load_avg:
ge->avg.load_avg := ge->weight * ge->avg.runnable_avg
That destroys the runnable_avg (by setting it to 1) we wanted to
propagate.
Instead directly propagate runnable_sum.

Since on wakeup migration we don't hold the rq->lock for the old CPU
we cannot update its state. Instead we add the removed 'load' to an
atomic variable and have the next update on that CPU collect and
process it.
Currently we have 2 atomic variables; which already have the issue
that they can be read out-of-sync. Also, two atomic ops on a single
cacheline is already more expensive than an uncontended lock.
Since we want to add more, convert the thing over to an explicit
cacheline with a lock in.

It appears as though the addition of the PID namespace did not update
the output code for /proc/*/sched, which resulted in it providing PIDs
that were not self-consistent with the /proc mount. This additionally
made it trivial to detect whether a process was inside &init_pid_ns from
userspace, making container detection trivial:
https://github.com/jessfraz/amicontained
This leads to situations such as:
% unshare -pmf
% mount -t proc proc /proc
% head -n1 /proc/1/sched
head (10047, #threads: 1)
Fix this by just using task_pid_nr_ns for the output of /proc/*/sched.
All of the other uses of task_pid_nr in kernel/sched/debug.c are from a
sysctl context and thus don't need to be namespaced.

Add the value of the rt_rq.rt_nr_migratory and dl_rq.dl_nr_migratory
to the sched_debug output, for instance:
rt_rq[0]:
.rt_nr_running : 2
.rt_nr_migratory : 1 <--- Like this
.rt_throttled : 0
.rt_time : 828.645877
.rt_runtime : 1000.000000
This is useful to debug problems related to the RT/DL schedulers.
This also fixes the format of some variables, that were unsigned, rather
than signed.

* 'for-4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
blkcg: Unlock blkcg_pol_mutex only once when cpd == NULL
cgroup: fix error handling regressions in proc_cgroup_show() and cgroup_release_agent()
cpuset: fix error handling regression in proc_cpuset_show()
cgroup: add tracepoints for basic operations

kernfs: remove kernfs_path_len()
kernfs: make kernfs_path*() behave in the style of strlcpy()
kernfs: add dummy implementation of kernfs_path_from_node()
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.

cgroup_path() and friends used to format the path from the end and
thus the resulting path usually didn't start at the start of the
passed in buffer. Also, when the buffer was too small, the partial
result was truncated from the head rather than tail and there was no
way to tell how long the full path would be. These make the functions
less robust and more awkward to use.
With recent updates to kernfs_path(), cgroup_path() and friends can be
made to behave in strlcpy() style.
* cgroup_path(), cgroup_path_ns[_locked]() and task_cgroup_path() now
always return the length of the full path. If buffer is too small,
it contains nul terminated truncated output.
* All users updated accordingly.
v2: cgroup_path() usage in kernel/sched/debug.c converted.

Commit:
cb2517653f ("sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default")
... introduced a bug when CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is enabled and the
runtime tunable is disabled (which is the default).
The wait-time, sum-exec, and sum-sleep fields are missing from the
/proc/sched_debug file in the runnable_tasks section.
Fix it with a new schedstat_val() macro which returns the field value
when schedstats is enabled and zero otherwise. The macro works with
both SCHEDSTATS and !SCHEDSTATS. I put the macro in stats.h since it
might end up being useful in other places.

Playing with SCHED_DEADLINE and cpusets, I found that I was unable to create
new SCHED_DEADLINE tasks, with the error of EBUSY as if the bandwidth was
already used up. I then realized there wa no way to see what bandwidth is
used by the runqueues to debug the issue.
By adding the dl_bw->bw and dl_bw->total_bw to the output of the deadline
info in /proc/sched_debug, this allows us to see what bandwidth has been
reserved and where a problem may exist.
For example, before the issue we see the ratio of the bandwidth:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
950000
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
1000000
# grep dl /proc/sched_debug
dl_rq[0]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
dl_rq[1]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0

.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
dl_rq[4]:

.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
dl_rq[5]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
dl_rq[6]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
dl_rq[7]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 0
Note: (950000 / 1000000) << 20 == 996147
After I played with cpusets and hit the issue, the result is now:
# grep dl /proc/sched_debug
dl_rq[0]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -104857
dl_rq[1]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 104857
dl_rq[2]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 104857
dl_rq[3]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : 104857
dl_rq[4]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -104857
dl_rq[5]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -104857
dl_rq[6]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -104857
dl_rq[7]:
.dl_nr_running : 0
.dl_bw->bw : 996147
.dl_bw->total_bw : -104857
This shows that there is definitely a problem as we should never have a
negative total bandwidth.

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.
The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.
These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

Some small gains and losses and while the variance data is not included,
it's close to the noise. The UMA machine did not show anything particularly
different

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.
