sched/fair: Fix post_init_entity_util_avg() serialization
Chris Wilson reported a divide by 0 at:
post_init_entity_util_avg():
> 725 if (cfs_rq->avg.util_avg != 0) {
> 726 sa->util_avg = cfs_rq->avg.util_avg * se->load.weight;
> -> 727 sa->util_avg /= (cfs_rq->avg.load_avg + 1);
> 728
> 729 if (sa->util_avg > cap)
> 730 sa->util_avg = cap;
> 731 } else {
Which given the lack of serialization, and the code generated from
update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is entirely possible:
if (atomic_long_read(&cfs_rq->removed_load_avg)) {
s64 r = atomic_long_xchg(&cfs_rq->removed_load_avg, 0);
sa->load_avg = max_t(long, sa->load_avg - r, 0);
sa->load_sum = max_t(s64, sa->load_sum - r * LOAD_AVG_MAX, 0);
removed_load = 1;
}
turns into:
ffffffff81087064: 49 8b 85 98 00 00 00 mov 0x98(%r13),%rax
ffffffff8108706b: 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
ffffffff8108706e: 74 40 je ffffffff810870b0
ffffffff81087070: 4c 89 f8 mov %r15,%rax
ffffffff81087073: 49 87 85 98 00 00 00 xchg %rax,0x98(%r13)
ffffffff8108707a: 49 29 45 70 sub %rax,0x70(%r13)
ffffffff8108707e: 4c 89 f9 mov %r15,%rcx
ffffffff81087081: bb 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%ebx
ffffffff81087086: 49 83 7d 70 00 cmpq $0x0,0x70(%r13)
ffffffff8108708b: 49 0f 49 4d 70 cmovns 0x70(%r13),%rcx
Which you'll note ends up with 'sa->load_avg - r' in memory at
ffffffff8108707a.
By calling post_init_entity_util_avg() under rq->lock we're sure to be
fully serialized against PELT updates and cannot observe intermediate
state like this.
