To gather the architecture requirements of the "private/global
expedited" membarrier commands. The file will be expanded to
integrate further information about the membarrier syscall (as
needed/desired in the future). While at it, amend some related
inline comments in the membarrier codebase.

sched_feat(UTIL_EST_FASTUP) has been added to easily disable the feature
in order to check for possibly related regressions. After 3 years, it has
never been used and no regression has been reported. Let's remove it
and make fast increase a permanent behavior.

The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy consumption
of placing a task on different CPUs. The goal is to minimize this
energy consumption. Estimating the energy of different task placements
is increasingly complex with the size of the platform.
To avoid having a slow wake-up path, EAS is only enabled if this
complexity is low enough.
The current complexity limit was set in:
b68a4c0dba3b1 ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")
... based on the first implementation of EAS, which was re-computing
the power of the whole platform for each task placement scenario, see:
390031e4c309 ("sched/fair: Introduce an energy estimation helper function")
... but the complexity of EAS was reduced in:
eb92692b2544d ("sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups")
... and find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) algorithm was updated in:
3e8c6c9aac42 ("sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec()")
find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) is now doing:
feec()
\_ for_each_pd(pd) [0]
// get max_spare_cap_cpu and compute_prev_delta
\_ for_each_cpu(pd) [1]
\_ eenv_pd_busy_time(pd) [2]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) without the task
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, -1) [3.0]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, -1)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) with the task on prev_cpu
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, prev_cpu) [3.1]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, prev_cpu)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
// compute_energy(pd) with the task on max_spare_cap_cpu
\_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu) [3.2]
\_ for_each_cpu(pd)
\_ em_cpu_energy(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu)
\_ for_each_ps(pd)
[3.1] happens only once since prev_cpu is unique. With the same
definitions for nr_pd, nr_cpus and nr_ps, the complexity is of:
nr_pd * (2 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd]))
+ ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd])
[0] * ( [1] + [2] + [3.0] + [3.2] )
+ [3.1]
= nr_pd * (4 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * [nr_ps in pd])
+ [nr_cpus in prev pd] + nr_ps
The complexity limit was set to 2048 in:
b68a4c0dba3b1 ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")
... to make "EAS usable up to 16 CPUs with per-CPU DVFS and less than 8
performance states each". For the same platform, the complexity would
actually be of:
16 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 296
Since the EAS complexity was greatly reduced since the limit was
introduced, bigger platforms can handle EAS.
For instance, a platform with 112 CPUs with 7 performance states
each would not reach it:
112 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 2024
To reflect this improvement in the underlying EAS code, remove
the EAS complexity check.
Note that a limit on the number of CPUs still holds against
EM_MAX_NUM_CPUS to avoid overflows during the energy estimation.

Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.
The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.
There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.
Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.
No functional changes.
Some performance tests on Arm64:
- small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
- HMP device (RB5): hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
- large smp (thx2): hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)

sched_rt_period_us and hence always less or equal to that value.
- The limit for sched_rt_runtime_us is not INT_MAX-1, but rather it's
limited by the value of sched_rt_period_us. If sched_rt_period_us is
INT_MAX then sched_rt_runtime_us can be set to INT_MAX as well.

The rq_cpu_time and the rq_sched_info.run_delay of a run queue, and the
sched_info.run_delay of a task are all updated based on the clock of the
run queue, while the se.sum_exec_runtime of a task is updated based on

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes:
- Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from
hell, but it has gotten a little better.
- Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the
tool itself.
- A major update to the pathname lookup documentation.
- Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create
references from filenames without all the extra noise.
- The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.
Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and
warning fixes"

- Modify the arm_scmi cpufreq driver to allow it to discover the
power scale present in the performance protocol and provide this
information to the Energy Model (Lukasz Luba).
- Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to several cpufreq drivers (Pali
Rohár).
- Clean up the CPPC cpufreq driver (Ionela Voinescu).
- Fix NVMEM_IMX_OCOTP dependency in the imx cpufreq driver (Arnd
Bergmann).
- Rework the poling interval selection for the polling state in
cpuidle (Mel Gorman).
- Enable suspend-to-idle for PSCI OSI mode in the PSCI cpuidle driver

- Modify the OPP framework to support empty (node-less) OPP tables in
DT for passing dependency information (Nicola Mazzucato).
- Fix potential lockdep issue in the OPP core and clean up the OPP
core (Viresh Kumar).
- Modify dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() to accept a NULL argument and
update its users accordingly (Viresh Kumar).
- Add frequency changes tracepoint to devfreq (Matthias Kaehlcke).
- Add support for governor feature flags to devfreq, make devfreq
sysfs file permissions depend on the governor and clean up the
devfreq core (Chanwoo Choi).
- Clean up the tegra20 devfreq driver and deprecate it to allow
another driver based on EMC_STAT to be used instead of it (Dmitry
Osipenko).
- Add interconnect support to the tegra30 devfreq driver, allow it to
take the interconnect and OPP information from DT and clean it up
(Dmitry Osipenko).
- Add interconnect support to the exynos-bus devfreq driver along
with interconnect properties documentation (Sylwester Nawrocki).
- Add suport for AMD Fam17h and Fam19h processors to the RAPL power
capping driver (Victor Ding, Kim Phillips).
- Fix handling of overly long constraint names in the powercap
framework (Lukasz Luba).
- Fix the wakeup configuration handling for bridges in the ACPI
device power management core (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add support for using an abstract scale for power units in the
Energy Model (EM) and document it (Lukasz Luba).
- Add em_cpu_energy() micro-optimization to the EM (Pavankumar
Kondeti).
- Modify the generic power domains (genpd) framwework to support
suspend-to-idle (Ulf Hansson).

- Clean up genpd (Lina Iyer).
- Clean up the core system-wide suspend code and make it print driver
flags for devices with debug enabled (Alex Shi, Patrice Chotard,
Chen Yu).
- Modify the ACPI system reboot code to make it prepare for system
power off to avoid confusing the platform firmware (Kai-Heng Feng).

sched_debug
This document seems to be out of date for many, many years. Even it has
misspelled from the first day.
ARCH_HASH_SCHED_TUNE should be ARCH_HAS_SCHED_TUNE
ARCH_HASH_SCHED_DOMAIN should be ARCH_HAS_SCHED_DOMAIN
Since v2.6.14, kernel completely deleted the relevant code and even
arch_init_sched_domains() was deleted.
Right now, kernel is asking architectures to call set_sched_topology() to
override the default sched domains.
On the other hand, to print the schedule debug information, users need to
set sched_debug cmdline or enable it by sysfs entry. So this patch also
adds the description for sched_debug.

The Energy Model (EM) can store power values in milli-Watts or in abstract
scale. This might cause issues in the subsystems which use the EM for
estimating the device power, such as:
- mixing of different scales in a subsystem which uses multiple
(cooling) devices (e.g. thermal Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA))
- assuming that energy [milli-Joules] can be derived from the EM power
values which might not be possible since the power scale doesn't have
to be in milli-Watts
To avoid misconfiguration add the requisite documentation to the EM and
related subsystems: EAS and IPA.
