[PATCH v4] sched: fix incorrect wait time and wait count statistics

From: Joonwoo Park
Date: Wed Oct 28 2015 - 00:47:06 EST


At present scheduler resets task's wait start timestamp when the task
migrates to another rq. This misleads scheduler itself into reporting
less wait time than actual by omitting time spent for waiting prior to
migration and also more wait count than actual by counting migration as
wait end event which can be seen by trace or /proc/<pid>/sched with
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y.

Carry forward migrating task's wait time prior to migration and
don't count migration as a wait end event to fix such statistics error.

In order to determine whether fair task is migrating mark task->on_rq with
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while dequeuing and enqueuing due to migration.

Changes in v2:
* Set p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while doing migration dequeue/enqueue
and check whether task's migrating with task_on_rq_migrating().
Changes in v3:
* Fixed "WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3 at kernel/sched/fair.c:260 update_stats_wait_end+0x23/0x30()" caught by Intel kernel test robot.
Changes in v4:
* Made __migrate_swap_task() to set p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING.
* Added WARN_ON_ONCE() inside CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.
* Added comments.
* Cleanup with ifdefy.
