Commit:

  d670ec13 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles")

started accounting thread group tasks pending runtime in thread_group_cputime().

Another commit:

  6e998916 ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")

updated scheduler runtime statistics (call update_curr()) when reading task pending
runtime. Those changes cause bad performance of SYS_times() and
SYS_clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) syscalls, especially on
larger systems with many CPUs.

While we would like to have cpuclock monotonicity kept i.e. have
problems fixed by above commits stay fixed, we also would like to have
good performance.

However when we notice that change from commit d670ec13 is not
longer needed to solve problem addressed by that commit, because of
change from the second commit 6e998916, we can get room for
optimization. Since we update task while reading it's pending runtime
in task_sched_runtime(), clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) will
see updated values and on testcase from d670ec13 process cpuclock
will not be smaller than thread cpuclock.

I tested the patch on testcases from commits d670ec13,
6e998916 and some other cpuclock/cputimers testcases and
did not found cpuclock monotonicity problems or other malfunction.

This patch has the drawback that we will not provide thread group cputime
up-to-date to the last moment. For example when arming cputime timer,
we will arm it with possibly a bit outdated values and that timer will
trigger earlier compared to behaviour without the patch. However that
was the behaviour before d670ec13 commit (kernel v3.1) so it's
unlikely to affect applications.

Patch improves related syscall performance, as measured by Giovanni's
benchmarks described in commit:

  6075620b ("sched/cputime: Mitigate performance regression in times()/clock_gettime()")

The benchmark results are:

Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric
configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's
compute demand (utilization) is suitable for the waking CPU and the
previous CPU, and all CPUs within their respective
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains (sd_llc). If not, let wakeup balancing
take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).

This patch makes affine wake-ups conditional on whether both the waker
CPU and the previous CPU has sufficient capacity for the waking task,
or not, assuming that the CPU capacities within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous.

To be able to compare the capacity of the target CPU with the highest
available CPU capacity, store the maximum per-CPU capacity in the root
domain.

The max per-CPU capacity should be 1024 for all systems except SMT,
where the capacity is currently based on smt_gain and the number of
hardware threads and is <1024. If SMT can be brought to work with a
per-thread capacity of 1024, this patch can be dropped and replaced by a
hard-coded max capacity of 1024 (=SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

A domain with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set indicate that
sched_groups at this level and below do not include CPUs of all
capacities available (e.g. group containing little-only or big-only CPUs
in big.LITTLE systems). It is therefore necessary to put in more effort
in finding an appropriate CPU at task wake-up by enabling balancing at
wake-up (SD_BALANCE_WAKE) on all lower (child) levels.

Add a topology flag to the sched_domain hierarchy indicating the lowest
domain level where the full range of CPU capacities is represented by
the domain members for asymmetric capacity topologies (e.g. ARM
big.LITTLE).

The flag is intended to indicate that extra care should be taken when
placing tasks on CPUs and this level spans all the different types of
CPUs found in the system (no need to look further up the domain
hierarchy). This information is currently only available through
iterating through the capacities of all the CPUs at parent levels in the
sched_domain hierarchy.

  SD 2      [  0      1      2      3]  SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY

  SD 1      [  0      1] [   2      3]  !SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY

  CPU:         0      1      2      3
  capacity:  756    756   1024   1024

If the topology in the example above is duplicated to create an eight
CPU example with third sched_domain level on top (SD 3), this level
should not have the flag set (!SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) as its two group
would both have all CPU capacities represented within them.

The SD_flags comment is very terse and doesn't explain why PACKING is
odd.

IIRC the distinction is that the 'normal' ones only describe topology,
while the ASYM_PACKING one also prescribes behaviour. It is odd in the
way that it doesn't only describe things.

Commit:

  57430218 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")

... fixed a bug but also triggered a regression:

On an i5 laptop, 4 pCPUs, 4vCPUs for one full dynticks guest, there are four
CPU hog processes(for loop) running in the guest, I hot-unplug the pCPUs
on host one by one until there is only one left, then observe CPU utilization
via 'top' in the guest, it shows:

  100% st for cpu0(housekeeping)
   75% st for other CPUs (nohz full mode)

However, w/o this commit it shows the correct 75% for all four CPUs.

When a guest is interrupted for a longer amount of time, missed clock ticks
are not redelivered later. Because of that, we should not limit the amount
of steal time accounted to the amount of time that the calling functions
think have passed.

However, the interval returned by account_other_time() is NOT rounded down
to the nearest jiffy, while the base interval in get_vtime_delta() it is
subtracted from is, so the max cputime limit is required to avoid underflow.

This patch fixes the regression by limiting the account_other_time() from
get_vtime_delta() to avoid underflow, and lets the other three call sites
(in account_other_time() and steal_account_process_time()) account however
much steal time the host told us elapsed.

 "Two hibernation fixes allowing it to work with the recently added

     assumption that the base address of the mapping will always be
     aligned at the PGD level, as it may be aligned at the PUD level if
     address space randomization is enabled (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the hibernation core to avoid executing tracing functions
     before restoring the processor state completely during resume
     (Thomas Garnier).

Restore the processor state before calling any other functions to
ensure per-CPU variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization.

Tracing functions use per-CPU variables (GS based on x86) and one was
called just before restoring the processor state fully. It resulted
in a double fault when both the tracing & the exception handler
functions tried to use a per-CPU variable.

nfsd4_lock will take the st_mutex before working with the stateid it
gets, but between the time when we drop the cl_lock and take the mutex,
the stateid could become unhashed (a'la FREE_STATEID). If that happens
the lock stateid returned to the client will be forgotten.

Fix this by first moving the st_mutex acquisition into
lookup_or_create_lock_state. Then, have it check to see if the lock
stateid is still hashed after taking the mutex. If it's not, then put
the stateid and try the find/create again.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:

 - Fix for the nd_blk (NVDIMM Block Window Aperture) driver.

   A spec clarification requires the driver to mask off reserved bits in
   status register.  This is tagged for -stable back to the v4.2 kernel.

 - Fix for a kernel crash in the nvdimm unit tests when module loading
   is interrupted with SIGTERM.  Tagged for -stable since validation
   efforts external to Intel use the unit tests for qualifying
   backports.

 - Add a new 'size' sysfs attribute for the BTT (NVDIMM Block
   Translation Table) driver to make it symmetric with the other
   namespace personality drivers (PFN and DAX) that provide a size
   attribute for indicating how much namespace capacity is lost to
   metadata.

   The BTT change arrived at the start of the merge window and has
   appeared in a -next release.  It can technically wait for 4.9, but it
   is small, fixes asymmetry in the libnvdimm-sysfs interface, and
   something I would have squeezed into the v4.8 pull request had it
   arrived a few days earlier.
