Good day,
First, I apologize for the information overload below. I just wanted to
make sure to provided as much detail as possible.
I do kernel development as a hobby for XDA and other communities. For a
given device that we support, we tend to follow the same sched changes as
Google and will pull in changes from upstream. One of the devices we dev
for is the OnePlus6 and 6T. It uses the same SD845 SOC as the P3. Long
story short, I started to notice an issue that we did not have on our
Oneplus5 Device (SD835 same as the Pixel 2). When boosting
top-app/schedtune.boost to 50 for example, it would appear to boost both
small and big cores. With a boost of 50, this means both clusters would be
running at 1766MHz and above. But this behavior was inconsistent. I could
reboot, and sometimes only the big cluster would appear to be affected by
the stune boost but it would seem that after hours/days of up time, the
issue would occur again and both clusters would be affected.
So I started kernel tracing trying to narrow down a culprit. One of the
things I noticed between a trace that had the bug captured and a trace
where the bug isn't occurring, is the boost margin assigned each cpu. I
could tell this bug would occur when the boosted task could easily fit on a
big core due to low utilization and margin assigned to them. Also, there
was not any other noticeable reason I could discern. Below is an example of
what I am referring to. Also note that I had a friend with a Pixel 3
confirm it had the problem as well before writing here and the logs/info
below are taken from a P3.

When you take a closer look at what is running on the small cores, I
started to notice something else. With the event:
sched_tune_tasks_update
I noticed a pattern with tasks that had "boost=0 max_boost=50". When the
bug is occurring, you would see small cores running tasks with "boost=0
max_boost=50" and when no bug, only big cores would have tasks with
"boost=0 max_boost=50". I have not been able to track down why sometimes
these tasks that received a boost as some point are running on small cores.
I also cannot discern why this issue has been inconsistent. I wanted to
give a heads up and would appreciate any assistance or information anyone
here might have with regards to a possible solution. Thanks for the great
work! I look forward to hearing back from you guys.
I have uploaded the a number of traces captured to my G Drive here:

If there is a better method, please let me know.
