sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.

+What: /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../ready
+Date: December 2022

+Description:
+ This file is used to check the status of the dcc
+ hardware if it's ready to receive user configurations.
+ A 'Y' here indicates dcc is ready.

+Description:
+ This is the debugfs interface for manual software
+ triggers. The trigger can be invoked by writing '1'
+ to the file.

+Date: December 2022
+Contact: Souradeep Chowdhury <quic_schowdhu@quicinc.com>
+Description:
+ This file is used to reset the configuration of
+ a dcc driver to the default configuration. When '1'
+ is written to the file, all the previous addresses
+ stored in the driver gets removed and users need to
+ reconfigure addresses again.
+
+What: /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../[list-number]/config
+Date: December 2022
+Contact: Souradeep Chowdhury <quic_schowdhu@quicinc.com>
+Description:
+ This stores the addresses of the registers which
+ can be read in case of a hardware crash or manual
+ software triggers. The input addresses type
+ can be one of following dcc instructions: read,
+ write, read-write, and loop type. The lists need to
+ be configured sequentially and not in a overlapping
+ manner; e.g. users can jump to list x only after
+ list y is configured and enabled. The input format for
+ each type is as follows:
+
+ i) Read instruction
+
+ ::
+
+ echo R <addr> <n> <bus> >/sys/kernel/debug/dcc/../[list-number]/config
+
+ where:
+
+ <addr>
+ The address to be read.
+
+ <n>
+ The addresses word count, starting from address <1>.
+ Each word is 32 bits (4 bytes). If omitted, defaulted
+ to 1.
+
+ <bus type>
+ The bus type, which can be either 'apb' or 'ahb'.
+ The default is 'ahb' if leaved out.
+
+ ii) Write instruction
+
+ ::
+
+ echo W <addr> <n> <bus type> > /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/../[list-number]/config
+
+ where:
+
+ <addr>
+ The address to be written.
+
+ <n>
+ The value to be written at <addr>.
+
+ <bus type>
+ The bus type, which can be either 'apb' or 'ahb'.
+
+ iii) Read-write instruction
+
+ ::
+
+ echo RW <addr> <n> <mask> > /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/../[list-number]/config
+
+ where:
+
+ <addr>
+ The address to be read and written.
+
+ <n>
+ The value to be written at <addr>.
+
+ <mask>
+ The value mask.
+
+ iv) Loop instruction
+
+ ::
+
+ echo L <loop count> <address count> <address>... > /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/../[list-number]/config
+
+ where:
+
+ <loop count>
+ Number of iterations
+
+ <address count>
+ total number of addresses to be written
+
+ <address>
+ Space-separated list of addresses.
+
+What: /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../[list-number]/enable
+Date: December 2022
+Contact: Souradeep Chowdhury <quic_schowdhu@quicinc.com>
+Description:
+ This debugfs interface is used for enabling the
+ the dcc hardware. A file named "enable" is in the
+ directory list number where users can enable/disable
+ the specific list by writing boolean (1 or 0) to the
+ file.
+
+ On enabling the dcc, all the addresses specified
+ by the user for the corresponding list is written
+ into dcc sram which is read by the dcc hardware
+ on manual or crash induced triggers. Lists must
+ be configured and enabled sequentially, e.g. list
+ 2 can only be enabled when list 1 have so.
