Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements: - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems. Problem: On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary task migrations. Solution: The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest queue. - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection. This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves other key workloads unchanged. Scheduler infrastructure improvements: - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it into the build_sched_topology() helper function and building it dynamically on the fly. - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code, and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe. Fixes: - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken() - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge: - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq clock debugging code. - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger by creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in psi_trigger_destroy(). - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(), which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping groups. - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq->nr_uninterruptible Cleanups: - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation to (maybe) enable this warning in the future. - Remove unused code - Mark more functions __init - Fix shadow-variable warnings" * tag 'sched-core-2023-06-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (50 commits) sched/core: Avoid multiple calling update_rq_clock() in __cfsb_csd_unthrottle() sched/core: Avoid double calling update_rq_clock() in __balance_push_cpu_stop() sched/core: Fixed missing rq clock update before calling set_rq_offline() sched/deadline: Update GRUB description in the documentation sched/deadline: Fix bandwidth reclaim equation in GRUB sched/wait: Fix a kthread_park race with wait_woken() sched/topology: Mark set_sched_topology() __init sched/fair: Rename variable cpu_util eff_util arm64/arch_timer: Fix MMIO byteswap sched/fair, cpufreq: Introduce 'runnable boosting' sched/fair: Refactor CPU utilization functions cpuidle: Use local_clock_noinstr() sched/clock: Provide local_clock_noinstr() x86/tsc: Provide sched_clock_noinstr() clocksource: hyper-v: Provide noinstr sched_clock() clocksource: hyper-v: Adjust hv_read_tsc_page_tsc() to avoid special casing U64_MAX x86/vdso: Fix gettimeofday masking math64: Always inline u128 version of mul_u64_u64_shr() s390/time: Provide sched_clock_noinstr() loongarch: Provide noinstr sched_clock_read() ...
