Pull tracing fixlet from Steven Rostedt:
"Joel Fernandes asked to add a feature in tracing that Android had its
own patch internally for. I took it back in 4.13. Now he realizes that
he had a mistake, and swapped the values from what Android had. This
means that the old Android tools will break when using a new kernel
that has the new feature on it.
The options are:
1. To swap it back to what Android wants.
2. Add a command line option or something to do the swap
3. Just let Android carry a patch that swaps it back
Since it requires setting a tracing option to enable this anyway, I
doubt there are other users of this than Android. Thus, I've decided
to take option 1. If someone else is actually depending on the order
that is in the kernel, then we will have to revert this change and go
to option 2 or 3"

tracing: Reorder display of TGID to be after PID

However Android's trace visualization tools expect a slightly different

decade, notice that the TGID and CPU fields are reversed:

| / _---=> hardirq/softirq
|| / _--=> preempt-depth
||| / delay

From kernel v4.13 onwards, during which TGID was introduced, tracing
with systrace on all Android kernels will break (most Android kernels
have been on 4.9 with Android patches, so this issues hasn't been seen
yet). From v4.13 onwards things will break.
The chrome browser's tracing tools also embed the systrace viewer which
uses the legacy TGID format and updates to that are known to be
difficult to make.
Considering this, I suggest we make this change to the upstream kernel
and backport it to all Android kernels. I believe this feature is merged
recently enough into the upstream kernel that it shouldn't be a problem.
Also logically, IMO it makes more sense to group the TGID with the
TASK-PID and the CPU after these.

- The hopefully final fix for the reported race problems in
kthread_parkme(). The previous attempt still left a hole and was
partially wrong.
- Plug a race in the remote tick mechanism which triggers a warning
about updates not being done correctly. That's a false positive if
the race condition is hit as the remote CPU is idle. Plug it by
checking the condition again when holding run queue lock.
- Fix a bug in the utilization estimation of a run queue which causes
the estimation to be 0 when a run queue is throttled.
- Advance the global expiration of the period timer when the timer is
restarted after a idle period. Otherwise the expiry time is stale and
the timer fires prematurely.
- Cure the drift between the bandwidth timer and the runqueue
accounting, which leads to bogus throttling of runqueues
- Place the call to cpufreq_update_util() correctly so the function
will observe the correct number of running RT tasks and not a stale
one.

The comment in create_filter() states that the passed in filter pointer
(filterp) will either be NULL or contain an error message stating why the
filter failed. But it also expects the filter pointer to point to NULL when
passed in. If it is not, the function create_filter_start() will warn and
return an error message without updating the filter pointer. This is not
what the comment states.
As we always expect the pointer to point to NULL, if it is not, trigger a
WARN_ON(), set it to NULL, and then continue the path as the rest will work
as the comment states. Also update the comment to state it must point to
NULL.

Furthermore, Oleg noticed that the whole scheduler TASK_PARKED
handling is buggered because the TASK_DEAD thing is done with
preemption disabled, the current code can still complete early on
preemption :/
So basically revert that earlier fix and go with a variant of the
alternative mentioned in the commit. Promote TASK_PARKED to special
state to avoid the store-store issue on task->state leading to the
WARN in kthread_unpark() -> __kthread_bind().
But in addition, add wait_task_inactive() to kthread_park() to ensure
the task really is PARKED when we return from kthread_park(). This
avoids the whole kthread still gets migrated nonsense -- although it
would be really good to get this done differently.

When a cfs_rq is throttled, parent cfs_rq->nr_running is decreased and
everything happens at cfs_rq level. Currently util_est stays unchanged
in such case and it keeps accounting the utilization of throttled tasks.
This can somewhat make sense as we don't dequeue tasks but only throttled
cfs_rq.
If a task of another group is enqueued/dequeued and root cfs_rq becomes
idle during the dequeue, util_est will be cleared whereas it was
accounting util_est of throttled tasks before. So the behavior of util_est
is not always the same regarding throttled tasks and depends of side
activity. Furthermore, util_est will not be updated when the cfs_rq is
unthrottled as everything happens at cfs_rq level. Main results is that
util_est will stay null whereas we now have running tasks. We have to wait
for the next dequeue/enqueue of the previously throttled tasks to get an
up to date util_est.
Remove the assumption that cfs_rq's estimated utilization of a CPU is 0
if there is no running task so the util_est of a task remains until the
latter is dequeued even if its cfs_rq has been throttled.

I noticed that cgroup task groups constantly get throttled even
if they have low CPU usage, this causes some jitters on the response
time to some of our business containers when enabling CPU quotas.
It's very simple to reproduce:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo 100000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo $$ > tasks
then repeat:
cat cpu.stat | grep nr_throttled # nr_throttled will increase steadily
After some analysis, we found that cfs_rq::runtime_remaining will
be cleared by expire_cfs_rq_runtime() due to two equal but stale
"cfs_{b|q}->runtime_expires" after period timer is re-armed.
The current condition to judge clock drift in expire_cfs_rq_runtime()
is wrong, the two runtime_expires are actually the same when clock
drift happens, so this condtion can never hit. The orginal design was
correctly done by this commit:
a9cf55b286 ("sched: Expire invalid runtime")
... but was changed to be the current implementation due to its locking bug.
This patch introduces another way, it adds a new field in both structures
cfs_rq and cfs_bandwidth to record the expiration update sequence, and
uses them to figure out if clock drift happens (true if they are equal).

With commit:
8f111bc357 ("cpufreq/schedutil: Rewrite CPUFREQ_RT support")
the schedutil governor uses rq->rt.rt_nr_running to detect whether an
RT task is currently running on the CPU and to set frequency to max
if necessary.
cpufreq_update_util() is called in enqueue/dequeue_top_rt_rq() but
rq->rt.rt_nr_running has not been updated yet when dequeue_top_rt_rq() is
called so schedutil still considers that an RT task is running when the
last task is dequeued. The update of rq->rt.rt_nr_running happens later
in dequeue_rt_stack().
In fact, we can take advantage of the sequence that the dequeue then
re-enqueue rt entities when a rt task is enqueued or dequeued;
As a result enqueue_top_rt_rq() is always called when a task is
enqueued or dequeued and also when groups are throttled or unthrottled.
The only place that not use enqueue_top_rt_rq() is when root rt_rq is
throttled.

Some people have reported that the warning in sched_tick_remote()

This happens when the remote tick applies on an idle task. Usually the
idle_cpu() check avoids that, but it is performed before we lock the
runqueue and it is therefore racy. It was intended to be that way in
order to prevent from useless runqueue locks since idle task tick
callback is a no-op.
Now if the racy check slips out of our hands and we end up remotely
ticking an idle task, the empty task_tick_idle() is harmless. Still
it won't pass the WARN_ON_ONCE() test that ensures rq_clock_task() is
not too far from curr->se.exec_start because update_curr_idle() doesn't
update the exec_start value like other scheduler policies. Hence the
reported false positive.
So let's have another check, while the rq is locked, to make sure we
don't remote tick on an idle task. The lockless idle_cpu() still applies
to avoid unecessary rq lock contention.
