[PATCH v13 0/6] Add utilization clamping support (CGroups API)

[Patrick Bellasi]

Hi all, this is a respin of:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190718181748.28446-1-patrick.bellasi@arm.com/

which introduces these small changes:

- move common code from cpu_uclamp_{min,max}_write() into
  cpu_uclamp_write(clamp_id)
- comment rewording: update all RUNNABLE tasks on system default changes only
  when cgroups are in use.

The series is based on top of today's tip/sched/core:

  commit a1dc0446d649 ("sched/core: Silence a warning in sched_init()")

Thanks Michal for your additional review!

Since Tejun seems to be happy regarding cgroup integration:

   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190729200606.GA136335@devbig004.ftw2.facebook.com/

and the are no substantial changes in the code functionalities with respect to
v12, this series adds Tejun's ACK tag.

Cheers,
Patrick

Newcomer's Short Abstract
=========================

The Linux scheduler tracks a "utilization" signal for each scheduling entity
(SE), e.g. tasks, to know how much CPU time they use. This signal allows the
scheduler to know how "big" a task is and, in principle, it can support
advanced task placement strategies by selecting the best CPU to run a task.
Some of these strategies are represented by the Energy Aware Scheduler [1].

When the schedutil cpufreq governor is in use, the utilization signal allows
the Linux scheduler to also drive frequency selection. The CPU utilization
signal, which represents the aggregated utilization of tasks scheduled on that
CPU, is used to select the frequency which best fits the workload generated by
the tasks.

The current translation of utilization values into a frequency selection is
simple: we go to max for RT tasks or to the minimum frequency which can
accommodate the utilization of DL+FAIR tasks.
However, utilization values by themselves cannot convey the desired
power/performance behaviors of each task as intended by user-space.
As such they are not ideally suited for task placement decisions.

Task placement and frequency selection policies in the kernel can be improved
by taking into consideration hints coming from authorized user-space elements,
like for example the Android middleware or more generally any "System
Management Software" (SMS) framework.

Utilization clamping is a mechanism which allows to "clamp" (i.e. filter) the
utilization generated by RT and FAIR tasks within a range defined by user-space.
The clamped utilization value can then be used, for example, to enforce a
minimum and/or maximum frequency depending on which tasks are active on a CPU.

The main use-cases for utilization clamping are:

 - boosting: better interactive response for small tasks which
   are affecting the user experience.

   Consider for example the case of a small control thread for an external
   accelerator (e.g. GPU, DSP, other devices). Here, from the task utilization
   the scheduler does not have a complete view of what the task's requirements
   are and, if it's a small utilization task, it keeps selecting a more energy
   efficient CPU, with smaller capacity and lower frequency, thus negatively
   impacting the overall time required to complete task activations.

 - capping: increase energy efficiency for background tasks not affecting the
   user experience.

   Since running on a lower capacity CPU at a lower frequency is more energy
   efficient, when the completion time is not a main goal, then capping the
   utilization considered for certain (maybe big) tasks can have positive
   effects, both on energy consumption and thermal headroom.
   This feature allows also to make RT tasks more energy friendly on mobile
   systems where running them on high capacity CPUs and at the maximum
   frequency is not required.

From these two use-cases, it's worth noticing that frequency selection
biasing, introduced by patches 9 and 10 of this series, is just one possible
usage of utilization clamping. Another compelling extension of utilization
clamping is in helping the scheduler in making tasks placement decisions.

Utilization is (also) a task specific property the scheduler uses to know
how much CPU bandwidth a task requires, at least as long as there is idle time.
Thus, the utilization clamp values, defined either per-task or per-task_group,
can represent tasks to the scheduler as being bigger (or smaller) than what
they actually are.

Utilization clamping thus enables interesting additional optimizations, for
example on asymmetric capacity systems like Arm big.LITTLE and DynamIQ CPUs,
where:

 - boosting: try to run small/foreground tasks on higher-capacity CPUs to
   complete them faster despite being less energy efficient.

 - capping: try to run big/background tasks on low-capacity CPUs to save power
   and thermal headroom for more important tasks

This series does not present this additional usage of utilization clamping but
it's an integral part of the EAS feature set, where [2] is one of its main
components.

Android kernels use SchedTune, a solution similar to utilization clamping, to
bias both 'frequency selection' and 'task placement'. This series provides the
foundation to add similar features to mainline while focusing, for the
time being, just on schedutil integration.

[PATCH v13 1/6] sched/core: uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller

[Patrick Bellasi]

The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.

With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.

Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.

Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.

Specifically:

- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
	      	 minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
	      	 utilization

- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
	      	 maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
	      	 utilization

These attributes:

a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
   hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
   interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
   interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.

b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
   are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
   effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
   by the system wide interface.
   This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
   - request whatever clamp values it would like to get
   - effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent

c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
   sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.

Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Validate local consistency by enforcing uclamp.min < uclamp.max.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.

This should be the uclamp_mutex.

(The compound results of the series is correct as the lock is introduced
in "sched/core: uclamp: Propagate parent clamps".
This is just for the happiness of cherry-pickers/bisectors.)

Why is the rcu_read_lock() needed here? (I'm considering the comment in
of_css() that should apply here (and it seems that similar uses in other

I don't see technical reasons why uclamp couldn't work on legacy
hierarchy and Tejun acked the series, despite that I'll ask -- should
the new attributes be exposed in v1 controller hierarchy (taking into
account the legacy API is sort of frozen and potential maintenance needs
spanning both hierarchies)?

Right, will move the uclamp_mutex introduction in this patch instead of
in the following one.

So, looks like that since we are in the context of a file operation,
all the cgroup's attribute read/write functions are implicitly save.

IOW, we don't need an RCU lock since the TG data structures are granted
to be always available till the end of the read/write operation.

That seems to make sense... I'm wondering if keeping the RCU look is
still a precaution for possible future code/assumption changes or just
an unnecessary overhead?

Not sure to get what you mean here: I'm currently exposing uclamp to
both v1 and v2 hierarchies.

cpu controller has different API for v1 and v2 hierarchies. My question
reworded is -- are the new knobs exposed in the legacy API
intentionally/for a reason?

[PATCH v13 2/6] sched/core: uclamp: Propagate parent clamps

[Patrick Bellasi]

In order to properly support hierarchical resources control, the cgroup
delegation model requires that attribute writes from a child group never
fail but still are locally consistent and constrained based on parent's
assigned resources. This requires to properly propagate and aggregate
parent attributes down to its descendants.

Implement this mechanism by adding a new "effective" clamp value for each
task group. The effective clamp value is defined as the smaller value
between the clamp value of a group and the effective clamp value of its
parent. This is the actual clamp value enforced on tasks in a task group.

Since it's possible for a cpu.uclamp.min value to be bigger than the
cpu.uclamp.max value, ensure local consistency by restricting each
"protection" (i.e. min utilization) with the corresponding "limit"
(i.e. max utilization).

Do that at effective clamps propagation to ensure all user-space write
never fails while still always tracking the most restrictive values.

Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.

Following my remarks to "[PATCH v13 1/6] sched/core: uclamp: Extend
CPU's cgroup", I wonder if the rcu_read_lock() couldn't be moved right
before cpu_util_update_eff(). And by extension rcu_read_(un)lock could
be hidden into cpu_util_update_eff() closer to its actual need.

Well, if I've got correctly your comment in the previous message, I
would say that at this stage we don't need RCU looks at all.

Reason being that cpu_util_update_eff() gets called only from
cpu_uclamp_write() which is from an ongoing write operation on a cgroup
attribute and thus granted to be available.

We will eventually need to move the RCU look only down the stack when
uclamp_update_active_tasks() gets called to update the RUNNABLE tasks on
a RQ... or perhaps we don't need them since we already get the
task_rq_lock() for each task we visit.

Is that correct?

Cheers,
Patrick

Unless you remove css_for_each_descendant_pre() in
cpu_util_update_eff(), the rcu_read_lock() cannot go below it.
(You'd be RCU-accessing other csses that aren't pinned in the write.)

[PATCH v13 3/6] sched/core: uclamp: Propagate system defaults to root group

[Patrick Bellasi]

The clamp values are not tunable at the level of the root task group.
That's for two main reasons:

 - the root group represents "system resources" which are always
   entirely available from the cgroup standpoint.

 - when tuning/restricting "system resources" makes sense, tuning must
   be done using a system wide API which should also be available when
   control groups are not.

When a system wide restriction is available, cgroups should be aware of
its value in order to know exactly how much "system resources" are
available for the subgroups.

Utilization clamping supports already the concepts of:

 - system defaults: which define the maximum possible clamp values
   usable by tasks.

 - effective clamps: which allows a parent cgroup to constraint (maybe
   temporarily) its descendants without losing the information related
   to the values "requested" from them.

Exploit these two concepts and bind them together in such a way that,
whenever system default are tuned, the new values are propagated to
(possibly) restrict or relax the "effective" value of nested cgroups.

When cgroups are in use, force an update of all the RUNNABLE tasks.
Otherwise, keep things simple and do just a lazy update next time each
task will be enqueued.
Do that since we assume a more strict resource control is required when
cgroups are in use. This allows also to keep "effective" clamp values
updated in case we need to expose them to user-space.

[PATCH v13 4/6] sched/core: uclamp: Use TG's clamps to restrict TASK's clamps

[Patrick Bellasi]

When a task specific clamp value is configured via sched_setattr(2), this
value is accounted in the corresponding clamp bucket every time the task is
{en,de}qeued. However, when cgroups are also in use, the task specific
clamp values could be restricted by the task_group (TG) clamp values.

Update uclamp_cpu_inc() to aggregate task and TG clamp values. Every time a
task is enqueued, it's accounted in the clamp bucket tracking the smaller
clamp between the task specific value and its TG effective value. This
allows to:

1. ensure cgroup clamps are always used to restrict task specific requests,
   i.e. boosted not more than its TG effective protection and capped at
   least as its TG effective limit.

2. implement a "nice-like" policy, where tasks are still allowed to request
   less than what enforced by their TG effective limits and protections

Do this by exploiting the concept of "effective" clamp, which is already
used by a TG to track parent enforced restrictions.

Apply task group clamp restrictions only to tasks belonging to a child
group. While, for tasks in the root group or in an autogroup, system
defaults are still enforced.

[PATCH v13 5/6] sched/core: uclamp: Update CPU's refcount on TG's clamp changes

[Patrick Bellasi]

On updates of task group (TG) clamp values, ensure that these new values
are enforced on all RUNNABLE tasks of the task group, i.e. all RUNNABLE
tasks are immediately boosted and/or capped as requested.

Do that each time we update effective clamps from cpu_util_update_eff().
Use the *cgroup_subsys_state (css) to walk the list of tasks in each
affected TG and update their RUNNABLE tasks.
Update each task by using the same mechanism used for cpu affinity masks
updates, i.e. by taking the rq lock.

[Patrick Bellasi]

The supported clamp indexes are defined in enum clamp_id however, because
of the code logic in some of the first utilization clamping series version,
sometimes we needed to use unsigned int to represent indexes.

This is not more required since the final version of the uclamp_* APIs can
always use the proper enum uclamp_id type.

Fix it with a bulk rename now that we have all the bits merged.

Thank you Patrick for your patience. I used the time to revisit the
series once again and I think the RCU locks can be streamlined a bit. If
you find that correct, feel free to add my Reviewed-by to the updated
series (for 1/6 and legacy, I'm just asking).

Hi Michal!

I'll have a look at those, thanks!

Sure, actually sorry for not having already added that tag in the
current version, it will be there in v14 ;)
