SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is used by balance_one() to tell pick_next_task_scx() to
keep running the current task. It's not really a task property. Replace it
with SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP which resides in rq->scx.flags and is a better fit for
the usage. Also, the existing clearing rule is unnecessarily strict and
makes it difficult to use with core-sched. Just clear it on entry to
balance_one().

fd03c5b85855 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task()") changed the definition of
pick_next_task() from:
pick_next_task() := pick_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
to:
pick_next_task(prev) := pick_task() + put_prev_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
making invoking put_prev_task() pick_next_task()'s responsibility. This
reordering allows pick_task() to be shared between regular and core-sched
paths and put_prev_task() to know the next task.
sched_ext depended on put_prev_task_scx() enqueueing the current task before
pick_next_task_scx() is called. While pulling sched/core changes,
70cc76aa0d80 ("Merge branch 'tip/sched/core' into for-6.12") added an
explicit put_prev_task_scx() call for SCX tasks in pick_next_task_scx()
before picking the first task as a workaround.
Clean it up and adopt the conventions that other sched classes are
following.
The operation of keeping running the current task was spread and required
the task to be put on the local DSQ before picking:
- balance_one() used SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP to indicate that the task is still
runnable, hasn't exhausted its slice, and thus should keep running.
- put_prev_task_scx() enqueued the task to local DSQ if SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP
is set. It also called do_enqueue_task() with SCX_ENQ_LAST if it is the
only runnable task. do_enqueue_task() in turn decided whether to use the
local DSQ depending on SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST.
Consolidate the logic in balance_one() as it always knows whether it is
going to keep the current task. balance_one() now considers all conditions
where the current task should be kept and uses SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP to tell
pick_next_task_scx() to keep the current task instead of picking one from
the local DSQ. Accordingly, SCX_ENQ_LAST handling is removed from
put_prev_task_scx() and do_enqueue_task() and pick_next_task_scx() is
updated to pick the current task if SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is set.
The workaround put_prev_task[_scx]() calls are replaced with
put_prev_set_next_task().
This causes two behavior changes observable from the BPF scheduler:
- When a task keep running, it no longer goes through enqueue/dequeue cycle
and thus ops.stopping/running() transitions. The new behavior is better
and all the existing schedulers should be able to handle the new behavior.
- The BPF scheduler cannot keep executing the current task by enqueueing
SCX_ENQ_LAST task to the local DSQ. If SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST is specified, the
BPF scheduler is responsible for resuming execution after each
SCX_ENQ_LAST. SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST is mostly useful for cases where scheduling
decisions are not made on the local CPU - e.g. central or userspace-driven
schedulin - and the new behavior is more logical and shouldn't pose any
problems. SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST demonstration from scx_qmap is dropped as it
doesn't fit that well anymore and the last task handling is moved to the
end of qmap_dispatch().

Problem statement:
Since commit fc137c0ddab2 ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic"), the
Numa vma scan overhead has been reduced a lot. Meanwhile, the reducing of
the vma scan might create less Numa page fault information. The
insufficient information makes it harder for the Numa balancer to make
decision. Later, commit b7a5b537c55c08 ("sched/numa: Complete scanning of
partial VMAs regardless of PID activity") and commit 84db47ca7146d7
("sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan") are found to
bring back part of the performance.
Recently when running SPECcpu omnetpp_r on a 320 CPUs/2 Sockets system, a
long duration of remote Numa node read was observed by PMU events: A few
cores having ~500MB/s remote memory access for ~20 seconds. It causes
high core-to-core variance and performance penalty. After the
investigation, it is found that many vmas are skipped due to the active
PID check. According to the trace events, in most cases,
vma_is_accessed() returns false because the history access info stored in
pids_active array has been cleared.
Proposal:
The main idea is to adjust vma_is_accessed() to let it return true easier.
Thus compare the diff between mm->numa_scan_seq and
vma->numab_state->prev_scan_seq. If the diff has exceeded the threshold,
scan the vma.
This patch especially helps the cases where there are small number of
threads, like the process-based SPECcpu. Without this patch, if the
SPECcpu process access the vma at the beginning, then sleeps for a long
time, the pid_active array will be cleared. A a result, if this process
is woken up again, it never has a chance to set prot_none anymore.
Because only the first 2 times of access is granted for vma scan:
(current->mm->numa_scan_seq) - vma->numab_state->start_scan_seq) < 2 to be
worse, no other threads within the task can help set the prot_none. This
causes information lost.

- Resolve trivial context conflicts from dl_server clearing being moved
around.
- Add @next to put_prev_task_scx() and @prev to pick_next_task_scx() to
match sched/core.
- Merge sched_class->switch_class() addition from sched_ext with
tip/sched/core changes in __pick_next_task().
- Make pick_next_task_scx() call put_prev_task_scx() to emulate the previous
behavior where sched_class->put_prev_task() was called before
sched_class->pick_next_task().
While this makes sched_ext build and function, the behavior is not in line
with other sched classes. The follow-up patches will address the

When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server
set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see
update_curr_task().
Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through
the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial
solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this
location).
However, this gives a problem when:
p = pick_task(rq);
if (p)
put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next);
picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes
from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In
that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or
preserve p->dl_server.
An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a
remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules
the core_pick.
Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of
p->dl_server by:
- having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server
- having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server
- having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server
- complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where
appropriate.

The current rule is that:
pick_next_task() := pick_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
And many classes implement it directly as such. Change things around
to make pick_next_task() optional while also changing the definition to:
pick_next_task(prev) := pick_task() + put_prev_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
The reason is that sched_ext would like to have a 'final' call that
knows the next task. By placing put_prev_task() right next to
set_next_task() (as it already is for sched_core) this becomes
trivial.
As a bonus, this is a nice cleanup on its own.

__sched_setscheduler() goes through an enqueue/dequeue cycle like so:
flags := DEQUEUE_SAVE | DEQUEUE_MOVE | DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK;
prev_class->dequeue_task(rq, p, flags);
new_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags);
when prev_class := fair_sched_class, this is followed by:
dequeue_task(rq, p, DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK | DEQUEUE_SLEEP);
the idea being that since the task has switched classes, we need to drop
the sched_delayed logic and have that task be deactivated per its previous
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_SLEEP).
Unfortunately, this leaves the task on_rq. This is missing the tail end of
dequeue_entities() that issues __block_task(), which __sched_setscheduler()
won't have done due to not using DEQUEUE_DELAYED - not that it should, as
it is pretty much a fair_sched_class specific thing.
Make switched_from_fair() properly deactivate sched_delayed tasks upon
class changes via __block_task(), as if a
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_DELAYED)
had been issued.

touch_core_sched()
Since 3cf78c5d01d6 ("sched_ext: Unpin and repin rq lock from
balance_scx()"), sched_ext's balance path terminates rq_pin in the outermost
function. This is simpler and in line with what other balance functions are
doing but it loses control over rq->clock_update_flags which makes
assert_clock_udpated() trigger if other CPUs pins the rq lock.
The only place this matters is touch_core_sched() which uses the timestamp
to order tasks from sibling rq's. Switch to sched_clock_cpu(). Later, it may
be better to use per-core dispatch sequence number.
v2: Use sched_clock_cpu() instead of ktime_get_ns() per David.

When deciding whether a task can be migrated to a CPU,
dispatch_to_local_dsq() was open-coding p->cpus_allowed and scx_rq_online()
tests instead of using task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). This had two problems.
- It was missing is_migration_disabled() check and thus could try to migrate
a task which shouldn't leading to assertion and scheduling failures.
- It was testing p->cpus_ptr directly instead of using task_allowed_on_cpu()
and thus failed to consider ISA compatibility.
Update dispatch_to_local_dsq() to use task_can_run_on_remote_rq():
- Move scx_ops_error() triggering into task_can_run_on_remote_rq().
- When migration isn't allowed, fall back to the global DSQ instead of the
source DSQ by returning DTL_INVALID. This is both simpler and an overall
better behavior.

The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware
timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a
single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of
realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be
delayed.
This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays
of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition
variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks,
the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values.
This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for
all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to
specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry
shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either
via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored,
as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK":
Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a
real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)).
The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users
is removed as well.

When soft interrupt actions are called, they are passed a pointer to the
struct softirq action which contains the action's function pointer.
This pointer isn't useful, as the action callback already knows what
function it is. And since each callback handles a specific soft interrupt,
the callback also knows which soft interrupt number is running.
No soft interrupt action callback actually uses this parameter, so remove
it from the function pointer signature. This clarifies that soft interrupt
actions are global routines and makes it slightly cheaper to call them.

Allow applications to directly set a suggested request/slice length using
sched_attr::sched_runtime.
The implementation clamps the value to: 0.1[ms] <= slice <= 100[ms]
which is 1/10 the size of HZ=1000 and 10 times the size of HZ=100.
Applications should strive to use their periodic runtime at a high
confidence interval (95%+) as the target slice. Using a smaller slice
will introduce undue preemptions, while using a larger value will
increase latency.

As per the numbers the, this makes cyclictest (short slice) it's
max-delay more consistent and consistency drops the sum-delay. The
trade-off is that the massive_intr (long slice) gets more context
switches and a slight increase in sum-delay.
Chunxin contributed did_preempt_short() where a task that lost slice
protection from PREEMPT_SHORT gets rescheduled once it becomes
in-eligible.

Extend / fix 86bfbb7ce4f6 ("sched/fair: Add lag based placement") by
noting that lag is fundamentally a temporal measure. It should not be
carried around indefinitely.
OTOH it should also not be instantly discarded, doing so will allow a
task to game the system by purposefully (micro) sleeping at the end of
its time quantum.
Since lag is intimately tied to the virtual time base, a wall-time
based decay is also insufficient, notably competition is required for
any of this to make sense.
Instead, delay the dequeue and keep the 'tasks' on the runqueue,
competing until they are eligible.
Strictly speaking, we only care about keeping them until the 0-lag
point, but that is a difficult proposition, instead carry them around
until they get picked again, and dequeue them at that point.

Delayed dequeue has tasks sit around on the runqueue that are not
actually runnable -- specifically, they will be dequeued the moment
they get picked.
One side-effect is that such a task can get migrated, which leads to a
'nested' dequeue_task() scenario that messes up uclamp if we don't
take care.
Notably, dequeue_task(DEQUEUE_SLEEP) can 'fail' and keep the task on
the runqueue. This however will have removed the task from uclamp --
per uclamp_rq_dec() in dequeue_task(). So far so good.
However, if at that point the task gets migrated -- or nice adjusted
or any of a myriad of operations that does a dequeue-enqueue cycle --
we'll pass through dequeue_task()/enqueue_task() again. Without
modification this will lead to a double decrement for uclamp, which is
wrong.

The commit 2d7f00b2f0130 ("rcu: Suppress smp_processor_id() complaint

dump_cpu_task() to suppress warning on its usage within preemtible context.
Calling dump_cpu_task() doesn't required to be in non-preemptible context
except for suppressing the smp_processor_id() warning.
As the smp_processor_id() is evaluated along with in_hardirq()
to check if it's in interrupt context, this patch removes the need
for its preemtion disablement by reordering the condition so that
smp_processor_id() only gets evaluated when it's in interrupt context.

consume_remote_task() and dispatch_to_local_dsq() use
move_task_to_local_dsq() to migrate the task to the target CPU. Currently,
move_task_to_local_dsq() expects the caller to lock both the source and
destination rq's. While this may save a few lock operations while the rq's
are not contended, under contention, the double locking can exacerbate the
situation significantly (refer to the linked message below).
Update the migration path so that double locking is not used.
move_task_to_local_dsq() now expects the caller to be locking the source rq,
drops it and then acquires the destination rq lock. Code is simpler this way
and, on a 2-way NUMA machine w/ Xeon Gold 6138, 'hackbench 100 thread 5000`
shows ~3% improvement with scx_simple.

sched_ext currently doesn't generate messages when the BPF scheduler is
enabled and disabled unless there are errors. It is useful to have paper
trail. Improve logging around enable/disable:
- Generate info messages on enable and non-error disable.
- Update error exit message formatting so that it's consistent with
non-error message. Also, prefix ei->msg with the BPF scheduler's name to
make it clear where the message is coming from.
- Shorten scx_exit_reason() strings for SCX_EXIT_UNREG* for brevity and
consistency.
