7c70cb94d2 sched: Add Lazy preemption model
Change fair to use resched_curr_lazy(), which, when the lazy
preemption model is selected, will set TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY.

This LAZY bit will be promoted to the full NEED_RESCHED bit on tick.
As such, the average delay between setting LAZY and actually
rescheduling will be TICK_NSEC/2.

In short, Lazy preemption will delay preemption for fair class but
will function as Full preemption for all the other classes, most
notably the realtime (RR/FIFO/DEADLINE) classes.

The goal is to bridge the performance gap with Voluntary, such that we
might eventually remove that option entirely.

stress-ng-vm-segv in stress-ng is used to stress test the SIGSEGV error
handling function of the system, which tries to cause a SIGSEGV error on
return from unmapping the whole address space of the child process.

Normally this program will not cause kernel crashes. But before the
munmap system call returns to user mode, a potential task_numa_work()
for numa balancing could be added and executed. In this scenario, since the
child process has no vma after munmap, the vma_next() in task_numa_work()
will return a null pointer even if the vma iterator restarts from 0.

Recheck the vma pointer before dereferencing it in task_numa_work().

b55945c500 sched: Fix pick_next_task_fair() vs try_to_wake_up() race
Syzkaller robot reported KCSAN tripping over the
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER(p->on_rq) in __block_task().

The report noted that both pick_next_task_fair() and try_to_wake_up()
were concurrently trying to write to the same p->on_rq, violating the
assertion -- even though both paths hold rq->__lock.

The logical consequence is that both code paths end up holding a
different rq->__lock. And looking through ttwu(), this is possible
when the __block_task() 'p->on_rq = 0' store is visible to the ttwu()
'p->on_rq' load, which then assumes the task is not queued and
continues to migrate it.

Rearrange things such that __block_task() releases @p with the store
and no code thereafter will use @p again.

af0c8b2bf6 sched: Split scheduler and execution contexts
Let's define the "scheduling context" as all the scheduler state
in task_struct for the task chosen to run, which we'll call the
donor task, and the "execution context" as all state required to
actually run the task.

Currently both are intertwined in task_struct. We want to
logically split these such that we can use the scheduling
context of the donor task selected to be scheduled, but use
the execution context of a different task to actually be run.

To this purpose, introduce rq->donor field to point to the
task_struct chosen from the runqueue by the scheduler, and will
be used for scheduler state, and preserve rq->curr to indicate
the execution context of the task that will actually be run.

This patch introduces the donor field as a union with curr, so it
doesn't cause the contexts to be split yet, but adds the logic to
handle everything separately.

[add additional comments and update more sched_class code to use
 rq::proxy]
[jstultz: Rebased and resolved minor collisions, reworked to use
 accessors, tweaked update_curr_common to use rq_proxy fixing rt
 scheduling issues]

98442f0ccd sched: Fix delayed_dequeue vs switched_from_fair()
Commit 2e0199df25 ("sched/fair: Prepare exit/cleanup paths for delayed_dequeue")
and its follow up fixes try to deal with a rather unfortunate
situation where is task is enqueued in a new class, even though it
shouldn't have been. Mostly because the existing ->switched_to/from()
hooks are in the wrong place for this case.

This all led to Paul being able to trigger failures at something like
once per 10k CPU hours of RCU torture.

For now, do the ugly thing and move the code to the right place by
ignoring the switch hooks.

Note: Clean up the whole sched_class::switch*_{to,from}() thing.

4423af84b2 sched/fair: optimize the PLACE_LAG when se->vlag is zero
When PLACE_LAG is enabled, from the relationship:
            vl_i = (W + w_i)*vl'_i / W
we know that if vl'_i(se->vlag) is zero, the vl_i is zero too.

So if se->vlag is zero, there is no need to waste cycles to
do the calculation.

d4ac164bde sched/eevdf: Fix wakeup-preempt by checking cfs_rq->nr_running
Commit 85e511df3c ("sched/eevdf: Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt")
introduced a mechanism that a wakee with shorter slice could preempt
the current running task. It also lower the bar for the current task
to be preempted, by checking the rq->nr_running instead of cfs_rq->nr_running
when the current task has ran out of time slice. But there is a scenario
that is problematic. Say, if there is 1 cfs task and 1 rt task, before
85e511df3c, update_deadline() will not trigger a reschedule, and after
85e511df3c, since rq->nr_running is 2 and resched is true, a resched_curr()
would happen.

Some workloads (like the hackbench reported by lkp) do not like
over-scheduling. We can see that the preemption rate has been
increased by 2.2%:

1.654e+08            +2.2%   1.69e+08        hackbench.time.involuntary_context_switches

Restore its previous check criterion.

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched

     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

Pull in tip/sched/core to resolve two merge conflicts:

- 96fd6c65ef ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()")
  5d871a6399 ("sched/fair: Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c")

  A simple context conflict. The former added __update_blocked_others() in
  the same #ifdef CONFIG_SMP block that effective_cpu_util() and
  sched_cpu_util() are in and the latter moved those functions to fair.c.
  This makes __update_blocked_others() more out of place. Will follow up
  with a patch to relocate.

- 96fd6c65ef ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()")
  84d265281d ("sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure")

  The former factored out the body of __update_blocked_others() into
  update_other_load_avgs(). The latter changed how update_hw_load_avg() is
  called in the body. Resolved by applying the change to
  update_other_load_avgs() instead.

84d265281d sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure
commit 97450eb909 ("sched/pelt: Remove shift of thermal clock")
removed the decay_shift for hw_pressure. This commit uses the
sched_clock_task() in sched_tick() while it replaces the
sched_clock_task() with rq_clock_pelt() in __update_blocked_others().
This could bring inconsistence. One possible scenario I can think of
is in ___update_load_sum():

  u64 delta = now - sa->last_update_time

'now' could be calculated by rq_clock_pelt() from
__update_blocked_others(), and last_update_time was calculated by
rq_clock_task() previously from sched_tick(). Usually the former
chases after the latter, it cause a very large 'delta' and brings
unexpected behavior.

f22cde4371 sched/numa: Fix the vma scan starving issue
Problem statement:
Since commit fc137c0dda ("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 b7a5b537c5 ("sched/numa: Complete scanning of
partial VMAs regardless of PID activity") and commit 84db47ca71
("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.

Raghavendra helped test current patch and got the positive result
on the AMD platform:

d7b01aef9d Merge branch 'tip/sched/core' into for-6.12
- 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
discrepancies and remove sched_class->switch_class().

bd9bbc96e8 sched: Rework dl_server
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.

fd03c5b858 sched: Rework pick_next_task()
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.

75b6499024 sched/fair: Properly deactivate sched_delayed task upon class change
__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.

folio's cpupid field is repurposed to store page access time.  Instead of
an open coded check, use a function to encapsulate the check.

e68ac2b488 softirq: Remove unused 'action' parameter from action callback
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.

857b158dc5 sched/eevdf: Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
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.

For all the following examples assume a scheduling quantum of 8, and for
consistency all examples have W=4:

 - the average period of a task is:		W*(r_i/w_i)
 - each task obtains the fair share:		w_i/W of each full period P

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.

152e11f6df sched/fair: Implement delayed dequeue
Extend / fix 86bfbb7ce4 ("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.

c97f54fe6d sched/fair: Cleanup pick_task_fair()'s curr
With 4c456c9ad3 ("sched/fair: Remove unused 'curr' argument from
pick_next_entity()") curr is no longer being used, so no point in
clearing it.

8e2e13ac61 sched/fair: Cleanup pick_task_fair() vs throttle
Per 54d27365ca ("sched/fair: Prevent throttling in early
pick_next_task_fair()") the reason check_cfs_rq_runtime() is under the
'if (curr)' check is to ensure the (downward) traversal does not
result in an empty cfs_rq.

But then the pick_task_fair() 'copy' of all this made it restart the
traversal anyway, so that seems to solve the issue too.

924e2904da sched/fair: Make balance_fair() test sched_fair_runnable() instead of rq->nr_running
balance_fair() skips newidle balancing if rq->nr_running - there are already
tasks on the rq, so no need to try to pull tasks. This tests the total
number of queued tasks on the CPU instead of only the fair class, but is
still correct as the rq can currently only have fair class tasks while
balance_fair() is running.

However, with the addition of sched_ext below the fair class, this will not
hold anymore and make put_prev_task_balance() skip sched_ext's balance()
incorrectly as, when a CPU has only lower priority class tasks,
rq->nr_running would still be positive and balance_fair() would return 1
even when fair doesn't have any tasks to run.

Update balance_fair() to use sched_fair_runnable() which tests
rq->cfs.nr_running which is updated by bandwidth throttling. Note that
pick_next_task_fair() already uses sched_fair_runnable() in its optimized
path for the same purpose.

0df340ceae Merge branch 'sched/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into for-6.12
Pull tip/sched/core to resolve the following four conflicts. While 2-4 are
simple context conflicts, 1 is a bit subtle and easy to resolve incorrectly.

1. 2c8d046d5d ("sched: Add normal_policy()")
   vs.
   faa42d2941 ("sched/fair: Make SCHED_IDLE entity be preempted in strict hierarchy")

The former converts direct test on p->policy to use the helper
normal_policy(). The latter moves the p->policy test to a different
location. Resolve by converting the test on p->plicy in the new location to
use normal_policy().

2. a7a9fc5492 ("sched_ext: Add boilerplate for extensible scheduler class")
   vs.
   a110a81c52 ("sched/deadline: Deferrable dl server")

Both add calls to put_prev_task_idle() and set_next_task_idle(). Simple
context conflict. Resolve by taking changes from both.

3. a7a9fc5492 ("sched_ext: Add boilerplate for extensible scheduler class")
   vs.
   c245910049 ("sched/core: Add clearing of ->dl_server in put_prev_task_balance()")

The former changes for_each_class() itertion to use for_each_active_class().
The latter moves away the adjacent dl_server handling code. Simple context
conflict. Resolve by taking changes from both.

4. 60c27fb59f ("sched_ext: Implement sched_ext_ops.cpu_online/offline()")
   vs.
   31b164e2e4 ("sched/smt: Introduce sched_smt_present_inc/dec() helper")
   2f02735412 ("sched/core: Introduce sched_set_rq_on/offline() helper")

The former adds scx_rq_deactivate() call. The latter two change code around
it. Simple context conflict. Resolve by taking changes from both.
