sched_info_on() is called with unlikely hint, however, the test
is to be a constant(1) on which compiler will do nothing when
make defconfig, so remove the hint.Also, fix a lack of {}.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completionsThese percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).[hannes@cmpxchg.org: doc fixlet, per Randy]

A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

schedstat is runtime disabled, it returns zero. Rename it to
schedstat_val_or_zero().There's also a need for a similar macro which doesn't have the 'if

new 'schedstat_val()' macro for that.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

easier to use, and there's no reason to require the user to split the

cb2517653fcc ("sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default")
... introduced a bug when CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is enabled and the
runtime tunable is disabled (which is the default).The wait-time, sum-exec, and sum-sleep fields are missing from the
/proc/sched_debug file in the runnable_tasks section.Fix it with a new schedstat_val() macro which returns the field value
when schedstats is enabled and zero otherwise. The macro works with
both SCHEDSTATS and !SCHEDSTATS. I put the macro in stats.h since it
might end up being useful in other places.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.netperf-tcp

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.Suggested-by: Ingo Molnar

While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers.
Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock.
Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a
thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems
(such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time
spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats.This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use
atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent
of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced
from 30% down to less than 1%.Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes
sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time.
However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the
generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue.
An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually
have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks
called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.Signed-off-by: Jason Low

We always know the rq used, let's just pass it around.
This seems to cut the size of scheduler core down a tiny bit:Before:
[linux]$ size kernel/sched/core.o.orig
text data bss dec hex filename
62760 16130 3876 82766 1434e kernel/sched/core.o.origAfter:
[linux]$ size kernel/sched/core.o.patched
text data bss dec hex filename
62566 16130 3876 82572 1428c kernel/sched/core.o.patchedProbably speeds it up as well.

sched_info_depart seems to be only called from
sched_info_switch(), so only on involuntary task switch.Fix the comment to match.

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (59 commits)

When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process
timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account)
increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting.However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns
over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop
signal->cputimer accounting.This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.
