sched/balancing: Simplify the sg_status bitmask and use separate ->overloaded and ->overutilized flags SG_OVERLOADED and SG_OVERUTILIZED flags plus the sg_status bitmask are an unnecessary complication that only make the code harder to read and slower.

The root_domain::overload flag is 1 when there's any rq in the root domain that has 2 or more running tasks. (Ie. it's overloaded.) The root_domain structure itself is a global structure per cpuset island. The ::overload flag is maintained the following way: - Set when adding a second task to the runqueue. - It is cleared in update_sd_lb_stats() during load balance, if none of the rqs have 2 or more running tasks. This flag is used during newidle balance to see if its worth doing a full load balance pass, which can be an expensive operation. If it is set, then newidle balance will try to aggressively pull a task. Since commit: 630246a0 ("sched/fair: Clean-up update_sg_lb_stats parameters") ::overload is being written unconditionally, even if it has the same value. The change in value of this depends on the workload, but on typical workloads, it doesn't change all that often: a system is either dominantly overloaded for substantial amounts of time, or not. Extra writes to this semi-global structure cause unnecessary overhead, extra bus traffic, etc. - so avoid it as much as possible. Perf probe stats show that it's worth making this change (numbers are with patch applied): 1M probe:sched_balance_newidle_L38 139 probe:update_sd_lb_stats_L53 <====== 1->0 writes 129K probe:add_nr_running_L12 74 probe:add_nr_running_L13 <====== 0->1 writes 54K probe:update_sd_lb_stats_L50 <====== reads These numbers prove that actual change in the ::overload value is (much) less frequent: L50 is much larger at ~54,000 accesses vs L53+L13 of 139+74.

Access to root_domainoverutilized is always used with sched_energy_enabled in the pattern: if (sched_energy_enabled && !overutilized) do something So modify the helper function to utilize this pattern. This is more readable code as it would say, do something when root domain is not overutilized. This function always return true when EAS is disabled. No change in functionality intended.

newidle(CPU_NEWLY_IDLE) balancing doesn't stop the load-balancing if the continue_balancing flag is reset, but the other two balancing (IDLE, BUSY) cases do that. newidle balance stops the load balancing if rq has a task or there is wakeup pending. The same checks are present in should_we_balance for newidle. Hence use the return value and simplify continue_balancing mechanism for newidle. Update the comment surrounding it as well.

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler) to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS not possible. Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and ::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field. EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch. Hence it shouldn't cost much. With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show up as hot routines in perf profile. 6.8-rc4: 7.18% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair 6.78% s [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance +patch: 0.14% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that. Fixes: 2802bf3c ("sched/fair: Add over-utilization/tipping point indicator") Signed-off-by:

It is not necessarily an indication of the system being busy and requires a backoff of the load balancer activities. But pushing it high could mean generally delaying other misfit activities or other type of imbalances. Also don't pollute nr_balance_failed because of misfit failures. The value is used for enabling cache hot migration and in migrate_util/load types. None of which should be impacted (skewed) by misfit failures. Signed-off-by:

If a misfit task is affined to a subset of the possible CPUs, we need to verify that one of these CPUs can fit it. Otherwise the load balancer code will continuously trigger needlessly leading the balance_interval to increase in return and eventually end up with a situation where real imbalances take a long time to address because of this impossible imbalance situation. This can happen in Android world where it's common for background tasks to be restricted to little cores. Similarly if we can't fit the biggest core, triggering misfit is pointless as it is the best we can ever get on this system. To be able to detect that; we use asym_cap_list to iterate through capacities in the system to see if the task is able to run at a higher capacity level based on its p->cpus_ptr. We do that when the affinity change, a fair task is forked, or when a task switched to fair policy. We store the max_allowed_capacity in task_struct to allow for cheap comparison in the fast path. Improve check_misfit_status() function by removing redundant checks. misfit_task_load will be 0 if the task can't move to a bigger CPU. And nohz_balancer_kick() already checks for cpu_check_capacity() before calling check_misfit_status(). Test: ===== Add trace_printk("balance_interval = %lu\n", interval) in get_sd_balance_interval(). run if [ "$MASK" != "0" ]; then adb shell "taskset -a $MASK cat /dev/zero > /dev/null" fi sleep 10 // parse ftrace buffer counting the occurrence of each valaue Where MASK is either: * 0: no busy task running * 1: busy task is pinned to 1 cpu; handled today to not cause misfit * f: busy task pinned to little cores, simulates busy background task, demonstrates the problem to be fixed Results: ======== Note how occurrence of balance_interval = 128 overshoots for MASK = f.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on 5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot. - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with memory encryption enabled. - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the result prevents updating the MSR. - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology code. - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver code at all. - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration. - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot crashes. - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no guarantee that the address can be safely accessed. - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another kmemleak false positive - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel. - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units. - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig * tag 'x86-urgent-2024-03-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/boot/64: Move 5-level paging global variable assignments back x86/boot/64: Apply encryption mask to 5-level pagetable update x86/cpu: Add model number for another Intel Arrow Lake mobile processor x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD Documentation/x86: Document that resctrl bandwidth control units are MiB x86/mpparse: Register APIC address only once x86/topology: Handle the !APIC case gracefully x86/topology: Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot x86/cpu: Ensure that CPU info updates are propagated on UP kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address x86/pm: Work around false positive kmemleak report in msr_build_context() x86/kexec: Do not update E820 kexec table for setup_data x86/config: Fix warning for 'make ARCH=x86_64 tinyconfig'

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning. efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors. So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in native mode. Fixes: b3810c5a ("x86/efistub: Clear decompressor BSS in native EFI entrypoint") Signed-off-by:

Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec, this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice. In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in 64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using the decompressor's limited boot stack. Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit 5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code") moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will corrupt the end of the .data section. While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base. So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot service call is made.

Commit 63bed966 ("x86/startup_64: Defer assignment of 5-level paging global variables") moved assignment of 5-level global variables to later in the boot in order to avoid having to use RIP relative addressing in order to set them. However, when running with 5-level paging and SME active (mem_encrypt=on), the variables are needed as part of the page table setup needed to encrypt the kernel (using pgd_none(), p4d_offset(), etc.). Since the variables haven't been set, the page table manipulation is done as if 4-level paging is active, causing the system to crash on boot. While only a subset of the assignments that were moved need to be set early, move all of the assignments back into check_la57_support() so that these assignments aren't spread between two locations. Instead of just reverting the fix, this uses the new RIP_REL_REF() macro when assigning the variables.

When running with 5-level page tables, the kernel mapping PGD entry is updated to point to the P4D table. The assignment uses _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC, which, when SME is active (mem_encrypt=on), results in a page table entry without the encryption mask set, causing the system to crash on boot. Change the assignment to use _PAGE_TABLE instead of _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC so that the encryption mask is set for the PGD entry.

Commit 67236547 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and commit 8bf26758 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR. On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not reset, which brings them out of sync. As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel space, which crashes the kernel. To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code: - Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device endlessly. Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally. - The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being expired on time.

The APIC address is registered twice. First during the early detection and afterwards when actually scanning the table for APIC IDs. The APIC and topology core warn about the second attempt. Restrict it to the early detection call. Fixes: 81287ad6 ("x86/apic: Sanitize APIC address setup") Signed-off-by:

If there is no local APIC enumerated and registered then the topology bitmaps are empty. Therefore, topology_init_possible_cpus() will die with a division by zero exception. Prevent this by registering a fake APIC id to populate the topology bitmap. This also allows to use all topology query interfaces unconditionally. It does not affect the actual APIC code because either the local APIC address was not registered or no local APIC could be detected.

The local APICs have not yet been enumerated so the logical ID evaluation from the topology bitmaps does not work and would return an error code. Skip the evaluation during the early boot CPUID evaluation and only apply it on the final run. Fixes: 380414be ("x86/cpu/topology: Use topology logical mapping mechanism") Signed-off-by:

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice: 1) During early boot 2) When finalizing the early setup right before mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched. In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to the per CPU info instance. Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final state and not supposed to change anymore. This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which had absolutely no purpose. Fixes: 71eb4893 ("x86/percpu: Cure per CPU madness on UP") Reported-by:
