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/wilco_ec/h1_gpio
+Date: April 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.2
+Description:
+ As part of Chrome OS's FAFT (Fully Automated Firmware Testing)
+ tests, we need to ensure that the H1 chip is properly setting
+ some GPIO lines. The h1_gpio attribute exposes the state
+ of the lines:
+ - ENTRY_TO_FACT_MODE in BIT(0)
+ - SPI_CHROME_SEL in BIT(1)
+
+ Output will formatted with "0x%02x\n".
+
+What: /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+Date: January 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.1
+Description:
+ Write and read raw mailbox commands to the EC.
+
+ You can write a hexadecimal sentence to raw, and that series of
+ bytes will be sent to the EC. Then, you can read the bytes of
+ response by reading from raw.
+
+ For writing, bytes 0-1 indicate the message type, one of enum
+ wilco_ec_msg_type. Byte 2+ consist of the data passed in the
+ request, starting at MBOX[0]. At least three bytes are required
+ for writing, two for the type and at least a single byte of
+ data.
+
+ Example::
+
+ // Request EC info type 3 (EC firmware build date)
+ // Corresponds with sending type 0x00f0 with
+ // MBOX = [38, 00, 03, 00]
+ $ echo 00 f0 38 00 03 00 > /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+ // View the result. The decoded ASCII result "12/21/18" is
+ // included after the raw hex.
+ // Corresponds with MBOX = [00, 00, 31, 32, 2f, 32, 31, 38, ...]
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+ 00 00 31 32 2f 32 31 2f 31 38 00 38 00 01 00 2f 00 ..12/21/18.8...
+
+ Note that the first 16 bytes of the received MBOX[] will be
+ printed, even if some of the data is junk, and skipping bytes
+ 17 to 32. It is up to you to know how many of the first bytes of
+ data are the actual response.
