The current Energy Aware Scheduler has some known limitations which have
became more and more visible with features like uclamp as an example. This
serie tries to fix some of those issues:
- tasks stacked on the same CPU of a PD
- tasks stuck on the wrong CPU.
Patch 1 fixes the case where a CPU is wrongly classified as overloaded
whereas it is capped to a lower compute capacity. This wrong classification
can prevent periodic load balancer to select a group_misfit_task CPU
because group_overloaded has higher priority.
Patch 2 creates a new EM interface that will be used by Patch 3
Patch 3 fixes the issue of tasks being stacked on same CPU of a PD whereas
others might be a better choice. feec() looks for the CPU with the highest
spare capacity in a PD assuming that it will be the best CPU from a energy
efficiency PoV because it will require the smallest increase of OPP.
This is often but not always true, this policy filters some others CPUs
which would be as efficients because of using the same OPP but with less
running tasks as an example.
In fact, we only care about the cost of the new OPP that will be
selected to handle the waking task. In many cases, several CPUs will end
up selecting the same OPP and as a result having the same energy cost. In
such cases, we can use other metrics to select the best CPU with the same
energy cost. Patch 3 rework feec() to look 1st for the lowest cost in a PD
and then the most performant CPU between CPUs. At now, this only tries to
evenly spread the number of runnable tasks on CPUs but this can be
improved with other metric like the sched slice duration in a follow up
series.
perf sched pipe on a dragonboard rb5 has been used to compare the overhead
of the new feec() vs current implementation.
9 iterations of perf bench sched pipe -T -l 80000
ops/sec stdev
tip/sched/core 16634 (+/- 0.5%)
+ patches 1-3 17434 (+/- 1.2%) +4.8%
Patch 4 removed the now unused em_cpu_energy()
Patch 5 solves another problem with tasks being stuck on a CPU forever
because it doesn't sleep anymore and as a result never wakeup and call
feec(). Such task can be detected by comparing util_avg or runnable_avg
with the compute capacity of the CPU. Once detected, we can call feec() to
check if there is a better CPU for the stuck task. The call can be done in
2 places:
- When the task is put back in the runnnable list after its running slice
with the balance callback mecanism similarly to the rt/dl push callback.
- During cfs tick when there is only 1 running task stuck on the CPU in
which case the balance callback can't be used.
This push callback mecanism with the new feec() algorithm ensures that
tasks always get a chance to migrate on the best suitable CPU and don't
stay stuck on a CPU which is no more the most suitable one. As examples:
- A task waking on a big CPU with a uclamp max preventing it to sleep and
wake up, can migrate on a smaller CPU once it's more power efficient.
- The tasks are spread on CPUs in the PD when they target the same OPP.
Patch 6 adds task misfit migration case in the cfs tick and push callback
mecanism to prevent waking up an idle cpu unnecessarily.
Patch 7 removes the need of testing uclamp_min in cpu_overutilized to
trigger the active migration of a task on another CPU.
Compared to v2:
- Renamed the push and tick functions to ease understanding what they do.
Both are kept in the same patch as they solve the same problem.
- Created some helper functions
- Fixing some typos and comments
- The task_stuck_on_cpu() condition remains unchanged. Pierre suggested to
take into account the min capacity of the CPU but the is not directly
available right now. It can trigger feec() when uclamp_max is very low
compare to the min capacity of the CPU but the feec() should keep
returning the same CPU. This can be handled in a follow on patch
Compared to v1:
- The call to feec() even when overutilized has been removed
from this serie and will be adressed in a separate series. Only the case
of uclamp_min has been kept as it is now handled by push callback and
tick mecanism.
- The push mecanism has been cleanup, fixed and simplified.
This series implements some of the topics discussed at OSPM [1]. Other
topics will be part of an other serie

With EAS, a group should be set overloaded if at least 1 CPU in the group
is overutilized but it can happen that a CPU is fully utilized by tasks
because of clamping the compute capacity of the CPU. In such case, the CPU
is not overutilized and as a result should not be set overloaded as well.
group_overloaded being a higher priority than group_misfit, such group can
be selected as the busiest group instead of a group with a mistfit task
and prevents load_balance to select the CPU with the misfit task to pull
the latter on a fitting CPU.

Instead of parsing the entire EM table everytime, add a function to get the
previous state.
Will be used in the scheduler feec() function.

feec() looks for the CPU with highest spare capacity in a PD assuming that
it will be the best CPU from a energy efficiency PoV because it will
require the smallest increase of OPP. Although this is true generally
speaking, this policy also filters some others CPUs which will be as
efficients because of using the same OPP.
In fact, we really care about the cost of the new OPP that will be
selected to handle the waking task. In many cases, several CPUs will end
up selecting the same OPP and as a result using the same energy cost. In
these cases, we can use other metrics to select the best CPU for the same
energy cost.
Rework feec() to look 1st for the lowest cost in a PD and then the most
performant CPU between CPUs. The cost of the OPP remains the only
comparison criteria between Performance Domains.

EAS is based on wakeup events to efficiently place tasks on the system, but
there are cases where a task doesn't have wakeup events anymore or at a far
too low pace. For such situation, we can take advantage of the task being
put back in the enqueued list to check if it should be pushed on another
CPU. When the task is alone on the CPU, it's never put back in the enqueued
list; In this special case, we use the tick to run the check.
Wake up events remain the main way to migrate tasks but we now detect
situation where a task is stuck on a CPU by checking that its utilization
is larger than the max available compute capacity (max cpu capacity or
uclamp max setting)

Some task misfit cases can be handled directly by the push mecanism
instead of triggering an idle load balance to pull the task on a better
CPU.

Checking uclamp_min is useless and counterproductive for overutilized state
as misfit can now happen without being in overutilized state
