Subject: [PATCH v3 08/14] sched/core: uclamp: extend cpu's cgroup controller
Date:   Mon,  6 Aug 2018 17:39:40 +0100
Message-Id: <20180806163946.28380-9-patrick.bellasi@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180806163946.28380-1-patrick.bellasi@arm.com>

Precedence: bulk

The cgroup's CPU 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.

Give the above mechanisms, it is now possible to extend the cpu
controller to specify what is the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
a task is expected (or allowed) to generate.
Constraints on minimum and maximum utilization allowed for tasks in a
CPU cgroup can improve the control on the actual amount of CPU bandwidth
consumed by tasks.

Utilization clamping constraints are useful not only to bias frequency
selection, when a task is running, but also to better support certain
scheduler decisions regarding task placement. For example, on
asymmetric capacity systems, a utilization clamp value can be
conveniently used to enforce important interactive tasks on more capable
CPUs or to run low priority and background tasks on more energy
efficient CPUs.

The ultimate goal of utilization clamping is thus to enable:

- boosting: by selecting an higher capacity CPU and/or higher execution
            frequency for small tasks which are affecting the user
            interactive experience.

- capping: by selecting more energy efficiency CPUs or lower execution
           frequency, for big tasks which are mainly related to
           background activities, and thus without a direct impact on
           the user experience.

Thus, a proper extension of the cpu controller with utilization clamping
support will make this controller even more suitable for integration
with advanced system management software (e.g. Android).
Indeed, an informed user-space can provide rich information hints to the
scheduler regarding the tasks it's going to schedule.

This patch extends the CPU controller by adding a couple of new
attributes, util.min and util.max, which can be used to enforce task's
utilization boosting and capping. Specifically:

- util.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered,
            e.g. when schedutil selects the frequency for a CPU while a
            task in this group is RUNNABLE.
            i.e. the task will run at least at a minimum frequency which
                corresponds to the min_util utilization

- util.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered,
            e.g. when schedutil selects the frequency for a CPU while a
            task in this group is RUNNABLE.
            i.e. the task will run up to a maximum frequency which
                corresponds to the max_util utilization

These attributes:

a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
   hierarchies
b) do not enforce any constraints and/or dependency between the parent
   and its child nodes, thus relying on the delegation model and
   permission settings defined by the system management software
c) allow to (eventually) further restrict task-specific clamps defined
   via sched_setattr(2)

This patch provides the basic support to expose the two new attributes
and to validate their run-time updates. However, we do not actually
allocated clamp groups and thus the write calls added by this patch
always returns -EINVAL. Following patches will provide the missing bits.

Changes in v3:
 Message-ID: <CAJuCfpFnj2g3+ZpR4fP4yqfxs0zd=c-Zehr2XM7m_C+WdL9jNA@mail.gmail.com>
 - rename UCLAMP_NONE into UCLAMP_NOT_VALID
 Message-ID: <20180409222417.GK3126663@devbig577.frc2.facebook.com>
 - use "." notation for attributes naming
   i.e. s/util_{min,max}/util.{min,max}/
 Others
 - rebased on tip/sched/core

Changes in v2:
 Message-ID: <20180409222417.GK3126663@devbig577.frc2.facebook.com>
 - make attributes available only on non-root nodes
   a system wide API seems of not immediate interest and thus it's not
   supported anymore
 - remove implicit parent-child constraints and dependencies
 Message-ID: <20180410200514.GA793541@devbig577.frc2.facebook.com>
 - add some cgroup-v2 documentation for the new attributes
 - (hopefully) better explain intended use-cases
   the changelog above has been extended to better justify the naming
   proposed by the new attributes
 Others:
 - rebased on v4.18-rc4
 - reduced code to simplify the review of this patch
   which now provides just the basic code for CGroups integration
 - add attributes to the default hierarchy as well as the legacy one
 - use -ERANGE as range violation error

These additional bits:
 - refcounting of clamp groups
 - RUNNABLE tasks refcount updates
 - aggregation of per-task and per-task_group utilization constraints
are provided in separate and following patches to make it more clear and
documented how they are performed.
