The kobj_type default_attrs field is being replaced by the
default_groups field. Replace sugov_tunables_ktype's default_attrs field
with default groups. Change "sugov_attributes" to "sugov_attrs" and use
the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro to create sugov_groups.
This patch was tested by setting the scaling governor to schedutil and
verifying that the sysfs files for the attributes in the default groups
were created.

There is not reason for the minimum iowait boost value in the
schedutil cpufreq governor to depend on the available range of CPU
frequencies. In fact, that dependency is generally confusing,
because it causes the iowait boost to behave somewhat differently
on CPUs with the same maximum frequency and different minimum
frequencies, for example.
For this reason, replace the min field in struct sugov_cpu
with a constant and choose its values to be 1/8 of
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (for consistency with the intel_pstate
driver's internal governor).
[Note that policy->cpuinfo.max_freq will not be a constant any more
after a subsequent change, so this change is depended on by it.]

Vincent Wang reported that get_next_freq() has a mult overflow bug on
32-bit platforms in the IOWAIT boost case, since in that case {util,max}
are in freq units instead of capacity units.
Solve this by moving the IOWAIT boost to capacity units. And since this
means @max is constant; simplify the code.

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of
code as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched()
can be replaced by synchronize_rcu(), in fact, synchronize_sched()
is now completely equivalent to synchronize_rcu(). This commit
therefore replaces synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu() so that
synchronize_sched() can eventually be removed entirely.

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) is designed with the assumption that
frequencies of CPUs follow their utilization value. When using a CPUFreq
governor other than schedutil, the chances of this assumption being true
are small, if any. When schedutil is being used, EAS' predictions are at
least consistent with the frequency requests. Although those requests
have no guarantees to be honored by the hardware, they should at least
guide DVFS in the right direction and provide some hope in regards to the
EAS model being accurate.
To make sure EAS is only used in a sane configuration, create a strong
dependency on schedutil being used. Since having sugov compiled-in does
not provide that guarantee, make CPUFreq call a scheduler function on
governor changes hence letting it rebuild the scheduling domains, check
the governors of the online CPUs, and enable/disable EAS accordingly.

Schedutil requests frequency by aggregating utilization signals from
the scheduler (CFS, RT, DL, IRQ) and applying a 25% margin on top of
them. Since Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to be able to predict
the frequency requests, it needs to forecast the decisions made by the
governor.
In order to prepare the introduction of EAS, introduce
schedutil_freq_util() to centralize the aforementioned signal
aggregation and make it available to both schedutil and EAS. Since
frequency selection and energy estimation still need to deal with RT and
DL signals slightly differently, schedutil_freq_util() is called with a
different 'type' parameter in those two contexts, and returns an
aggregated utilization signal accordingly. While at it, introduce the
map_util_freq() function which is designed to make schedutil's 25%
margin usable easily for both sugov and EAS.
As EAS will be able to predict schedutil's frequency requests more
accurately than any other governor by design, it'd be sensible to make
sure EAS cannot be used without schedutil. This will be done later, once
EAS has actually been introduced.

Reuse cpu_util_irq() that has been defined for schedutil and set irq util
to 0 when !CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
But the compiler is not able to optimize the sequence (at least with
aarch64 GCC 7.2.1):
free *= (max - irq);
free /= max;
when irq is fixed to 0
Add a new inline function scale_irq_capacity() that will scale utilization
when irq is accounted. Reuse this funciton in schedutil which applies
similar formula.

The time spent executing IRQ handlers can be significant but it is not reflected
in the utilization of CPU when deciding to choose an OPP. Now that we have
access to this metric, schedutil can take it into account when selecting
the OPP for a CPU.
RQS utilization don't see the time spend under interrupt context and report
their value in the normal context time window. We need to compensate this when
adding interrupt utilization
The CPU utilization is:
IRQ util_avg + (1 - IRQ util_avg / max capacity ) * /Sum rq util_avg
A test with iperf on hikey (octo arm64) gives the following speedup:
iperf -c server_address -r -t 5
w/o patch w/ patch
Tx 276 Mbits/sec 304 Mbits/sec +10%
Rx 299 Mbits/sec 328 Mbits/sec +9%
8 iterations
stdev is lower than 1%
Only WFI idle state is enabled (shallowest idle state).

Add both CFS and RT utilization when selecting an OPP for CFS tasks as RT
can preempt and steal CFS's running time.
RT util_avg is used to take into account the utilization of RT tasks
on the CPU when selecting OPP. If a RT task migrate, the RT utilization
will not migrate but will decay over time. On an overloaded CPU, CFS
utilization reflects the remaining utilization avialable on CPU. When RT
task migrates, the CFS utilization will increase when tasks will start to
use the newly available capacity. At the same pace, RT utilization will
decay and both variations will compensate each other to keep unchanged
overall utilization and will prevent any OPP drop.

With commit:
8f111bc357aa ("cpufreq/schedutil: Rewrite CPUFREQ_RT support")
the schedutil governor uses rq->rt.rt_nr_running to detect whether an
RT task is currently running on the CPU and to set frequency to max
if necessary.
cpufreq_update_util() is called in enqueue/dequeue_top_rt_rq() but
rq->rt.rt_nr_running has not been updated yet when dequeue_top_rt_rq() is
called so schedutil still considers that an RT task is running when the
last task is dequeued. The update of rq->rt.rt_nr_running happens later
in dequeue_rt_stack().
In fact, we can take advantage of the sequence that the dequeue then
re-enqueue rt entities when a rt task is enqueued or dequeued;
As a result enqueue_top_rt_rq() is always called when a task is
enqueued or dequeued and also when groups are throttled or unthrottled.
The only place that not use enqueue_top_rt_rq() is when root rt_rq is
throttled.

utilization
Since the refactoring introduced by:
commit 8f111bc357aa ("cpufreq/schedutil: Rewrite CPUFREQ_RT support")
we aggregate FAIR utilization only if this class has runnable tasks.
This was mainly due to avoid the risk to stay on an high frequency just
because of the blocked utilization of a CPU not being properly decayed
while the CPU was idle.
However, since:
commit 31e77c93e432 ("sched/fair: Update blocked load when newly idle")
the FAIR blocked utilization is properly decayed also for IDLE CPUs.
This allows us to use the FAIR blocked utilization as a safe mechanism
to gracefully reduce the frequency only if no FAIR tasks show up on a
CPU for a reasonable period of time.
Moreover, we also reduce the frequency drops of CPUs running periodic
tasks which, depending on the task periodicity and the time required
for a frequency switch, was increasing the chances to introduce some
undesirable performance variations.

Commit 152db033d775 (schedutil: Allow cpufreq requests to be made
even when kthread kicked) made changes to prevent utilization updates
from being discarded during processing a previous request, but it
left a small window in which that still can happen in the one-CPU
policy case. Namely, updates coming in after setting work_in_progress
in sugov_update_commit() and clearing it in sugov_work() will still
be dropped due to the work_in_progress check in sugov_update_single().
To close that window, rearrange the code so as to acquire the update
lock around the deferred update branch in sugov_update_single()
and drop the work_in_progress check from it.

Currently there is a chance of a schedutil cpufreq update request to be
dropped if there is a pending update request. This pending request can
be delayed if there is a scheduling delay of the irq_work and the wake
up of the schedutil governor kthread.
A very bad scenario is when a schedutil request was already just made,
such as to reduce the CPU frequency, then a newer request to increase
CPU frequency (even sched deadline urgent frequency increase requests)
can be dropped, even though the rate limits suggest that its Ok to
process a request. This is because of the way the work_in_progress flag
is used.
This patch improves the situation by allowing new requests to happen
even though the old one is still being processed. Note that in this
approach, if an irq_work was already issued, we just update next_freq
and don't bother to queue another request so there's no extra work being
done to make this happen.

This routine checks if the CPU running this code belongs to the policy
of the target CPU or if not, can it do remote DVFS for it remotely. But
the current name of it implies as if it is only about doing remote
updates.

The iowait boosting code has been recently updated to add a progressive
boosting behavior which allows to be less aggressive in boosting tasks
doing only sporadic IO operations, thus being more energy efficient for
example on mobile platforms.
The current code is now however a bit convoluted. Some functionalities
(e.g. iowait boost reset) are replicated in different paths and their
documentation is slightly misaligned.
Let's cleanup the code by consolidating all the IO wait boosting related
functionality within within few dedicated functions and better define
their role:
- sugov_iowait_boost: set/increase the IO wait boost of a CPU
- sugov_iowait_apply: apply/reduce the IO wait boost of a CPU
Both these two function are used at every sugov update and they make
use of a unified IO wait boost reset policy provided by:
- sugov_iowait_reset: reset/disable the IO wait boost of a CPU
if a CPU is not updated for more then one tick
This makes possible a cleaner and more self-contained design for the IO
wait boosting code since the rest of the sugov update routines, both for
single and shared frequency domains, follow the same template:
/* Configure IO boost, if required */
sugov_iowait_boost()
/* Return here if freq change is in progress or throttled */
/* Collect and aggregate utilization information */
sugov_get_util()
sugov_aggregate_util()
/*
* Add IO boost, if currently enabled, on top of the aggregated
* utilization value
*/
sugov_iowait_apply()
As a extra bonus, let's also add the documentation for the new
functions and better align the in-code documentation.

A more energy efficient update of the IO wait boosting mechanism has
been introduced in:
commit a5a0809bc58e ("cpufreq: schedutil: Make iowait boost more energy efficient")
where the boost value is expected to be:
- doubled at each successive wakeup from IO
staring from the minimum frequency supported by a CPU
- reset when a CPU is not updated for more then one tick
by either disabling the IO wait boost or resetting its value to the
minimum frequency if this new update requires an IO boost.
This approach is supposed to "ignore" boosting for sporadic wakeups from
IO, while still getting the frequency boosted to the maximum to benefit
long sequence of wakeup from IO operations.
However, these assumptions are not always satisfied.
For example, when an IO boosted CPU enters idle for more the one tick
and then wakes up after an IO wait, since in sugov_set_iowait_boost() we
first check the IOWAIT flag, we keep doubling the iowait boost instead
of restarting from the minimum frequency value.
This misbehavior could happen mainly on non-shared frequency domains,
thus defeating the energy efficiency optimization, but it can also
happen on shared frequency domain systems.
Let fix this issue in sugov_set_iowait_boost() by:
- first check the IO wait boost reset conditions
to eventually reset the boost value
- then applying the correct IO boost value
if required by the caller

The schedutil driver sets sg_policy->next_freq to UINT_MAX on certain
occasions to discard the cached value of next freq:
- In sugov_start(), when the schedutil governor is started for a group
of CPUs.
- And whenever we need to force a freq update before rate-limit
duration, which happens when:
- there is an update in cpufreq policy limits.
- Or when the utilization of DL scheduling class increases.
In return, get_next_freq() doesn't return a cached next_freq value but
recalculates the next frequency instead.
But having special meaning for a particular value of frequency makes the
code less readable and error prone. We recently fixed a bug where the
UINT_MAX value was considered as valid frequency in
sugov_update_single().
All we need is a flag which can be used to discard the value of
sg_policy->next_freq and we already have need_freq_update for that. Lets
reuse it instead of setting next_freq to UINT_MAX.

unnecessarily"
This reverts commit e2cabe48c20efb174ce0c01190f8b9c5f3ea1d13.
Lifting the restriction that the sugov kthread is bound to the
policy->related_cpus for a system with a slow switching cpufreq driver,
which is able to perform DVFS from any cpu (e.g. cpufreq-dt), is not
only not beneficial it also harms Enery-Aware Scheduling (EAS) on
systems with asymmetric cpu capacities (e.g. Arm big.LITTLE).
The sugov kthread which does the update for the little cpus could
potentially run on a big cpu. It could prevent that the big cluster goes
into deeper idle states although all the tasks are running on the little
cluster.
Example: hikey960 w/ 4.16.0-rc6-+

1490 #6 0 140 0 sugov:4
The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu0. (In this
case both sugov kthreads run on little cpus).
cross policy (cluster) remote callback example:
...
migration/1-14 [001] enqueue_task_fair: this_cpu=1 cpu_of(rq)=5
migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=5
sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
sugov:4-1490 [000] sugov_work: this_cpu=0
sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
...
The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=5) is executed on cpu=0.
(2) w/ the revert:
root@h960:~# ps -eo pid,class,rtprio,pri,psr,comm | awk 'NR == 1 ||
/sugov/'
PID CLS RTPRIO PRI PSR COMMAND
1491 #6 0 140 2 sugov:0
1492 #6 0 140 4 sugov:4
The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu4.
cross policy (cluster) remote callback example:
...
migration/1-14 [001] enqueue_task_fair: this_cpu=1 cpu_of(rq)=7
migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=7
sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
sugov:4-1492 [004] sugov_work: this_cpu=4
sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
...
The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=7) is executed on cpu=4.
Now the sugov kthread executes again on the policy (cluster) for which
the Operating Performance Point (OPP) should be changed.
It avoids the problem that an otherwise idle policy (cluster) is running
schedutil (the sugov kthread) for another one.

If the next_freq field of struct sugov_policy is set to UINT_MAX,
it shouldn't be used for updating the CPU frequency (this is a
special "invalid" value), but after commit b7eaf1aab9f8 (cpufreq:
schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely) it
may be passed as the new frequency to sugov_update_commit() in
sugov_update_single().
Fix that by adding an extra check for the special UINT_MAX value
of next_freq to sugov_update_single().

Instead of trying to duplicate scheduler state to track if an RT task
is running, directly use the scheduler runqueue state for it.

Do the following cleanups and simplifications:
- sched/sched.h already includes <asm/paravirt.h>, so no need to
include it in sched/core.c again.
- order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically
- add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h
- remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.
Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:
#include "sched.h"
... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.
This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

- 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,

To be able to treat utilization signals of different scheduling classes
in different ways (e.g., CFS signal might be stale while DEADLINE signal
is never stale by design) we need to split sugov_cpu::util signal in two:
util_cfs and util_dl.
This patch does that by also changing sugov_get_util() parameter list.
After this change, aggregation of the different signals has to be performed
by sugov_get_util() users (so that they can decide what to do with the
different signals).

Initializing sg_cpu->flags to SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT has no obvious benefit.
The flags field wouldn't be used until the utilization update handler is
called for the first time, and once that is called we will overwrite
flags anyway.
Initialize it to 0.

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.

'cached_raw_freq' is used to get the next frequency quickly but should
always be in sync with sg_policy->next_freq. There is a case where it is
not and in such cases it should be reset to avoid switching to incorrect
frequencies.
Consider this case for example:
- policy->cur is 1.2 GHz (Max)
- New request comes for 780 MHz and we store that in cached_raw_freq.
- Based on 780 MHz, we calculate the effective frequency as 800 MHz.
- We then see the CPU wasn't idle recently and choose to keep the next
freq as 1.2 GHz.
- Now we have cached_raw_freq is 780 MHz and sg_policy->next_freq is
1.2 GHz.
- Now if the utilization doesn't change in then next request, then the
next target frequency will still be 780 MHz and it will match with
cached_raw_freq. But we will choose 1.2 GHz instead of 800 MHz here.

After commit 674e75411fc2 (sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq
callbacks) we stopped to always read the utilization for the CPU we
are running the governor on, and instead we read it for the CPU
which we've been told has updated utilization. This is stored in
sugov_cpu->cpu.
The value is set in sugov_register() but we clear it in sugov_start()
which leads to always looking at the utilization of CPU0 instead of
the correct one.
Fix this by consolidating the initialization code into sugov_start().

The frequency update from the utilization update handlers can be divided
into two parts:
(A) Finding the next frequency
(B) Updating the frequency
While any CPU can do (A), (B) can be restricted to a group of CPUs only,
depending on the current platform.
For platforms where fast cpufreq switching is possible, both (A) and (B)
are always done from the same CPU and that CPU should be capable of
changing the frequency of the target CPU.
But for platforms where fast cpufreq switching isn't possible, after
doing (A) we wake up a kthread which will eventually do (B). This
kthread is already bound to the right set of CPUs, i.e. only those which
can change the frequency of CPUs of a cpufreq policy. And so any CPU
can actually do (A) in this case, as the frequency is updated from the
right set of CPUs only.
Check cpufreq_can_do_remote_dvfs() only for the fast switching case.

Utilization update callbacks are now processed remotely, even on the
CPUs that don't share cpufreq policy with the target CPU (if
dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu flag is set).
But in non-fast switch paths, the frequency is changed only from one of
policy->related_cpus. This happens because the kthread which does the
actual update is bound to a subset of CPUs (i.e. related_cpus).
Allow frequency to be remotely updated as well (i.e. call
__cpufreq_driver_target()) if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu flag is set.

CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID is a special symbol which is used to specify that
an entry in the cpufreq table is invalid. But using it outside of the
scope of the cpufreq table looks a bit incorrect.
We can represent an invalid frequency by writing it as 0 instead if we
need. Note that it is already done that way for the return value of the
->get() callback.
Lets do the same for ->fast_switch() and not use CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID
outside of the scope of cpufreq table.
Also update the comment over cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() to clearly
mention what this returns.
None of the drivers return CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID as of now from
->fast_switch() callback and so we don't need to update any of those.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.
One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.
This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.
The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.
The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:
- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
next tick.
Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.

Make iowait_boost and iowait_boost_max as unsigned int since its unit
is kHz and this is consistent with struct cpufreq_policy. Also change
the local variables in sugov_iowait_boost() to match this.

Currently the iowait_boost feature in schedutil makes the frequency
go to max on iowait wakeups. This feature was added to handle a case
that Peter described where the throughput of operations involving
continuous I/O requests [1] is reduced due to running at a lower
frequency, however the lower throughput itself causes utilization to
be low and hence causing frequency to be low hence its "stuck".
Instead of going to max, its also possible to achieve the same effect
by ramping up to max if there are repeated in_iowait wakeups
happening. This patch is an attempt to do that. We start from a lower
frequency (policy->min) and double the boost for every consecutive
iowait update until we reach the maximum iowait boost frequency
(iowait_boost_max).
I ran a synthetic test (continuous O_DIRECT writes in a loop) on an
x86 machine with intel_pstate in passive mode using schedutil. In
this test the iowait_boost value ramped from 800MHz to 4GHz in 60ms.
The patch achieves the desired improved throughput as the existing
behavior.
