40f5aa4c5e sched/pelt: Fix attach_entity_load_avg() corner case
The warning in cfs_rq_is_decayed() triggered:

    SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->avg.load_avg ||
		  cfs_rq->avg.util_avg ||
		  cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg)

There exists a corner case in attach_entity_load_avg() which will
cause load_sum to be zero while load_avg will not be.

Consider se_weight is 88761 as per the sched_prio_to_weight[] table.
Further assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, this gives:
se->avg.load_avg is 1.

However, calculating load_sum:

  se->avg.load_sum = div_u64(se->avg.load_avg * se->avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
  se->avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.

Then enqueue_load_avg() adds this to the cfs_rq totals:

  cfs_rq->avg.load_avg += se->avg.load_avg;
  cfs_rq->avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se->avg.load_sum;

Resulting in load_avg being 1 with load_sum is 0, which will trigger
the WARN.

Fixes: f207934fb7 ("sched/fair: Align PELT windows between cfs_rq and its se")

1930a6e739 ptrace: Cleanups for v5.18
This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
 the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
 permission check to ptrace.c
 
 The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
 source of confusion in recent years.  Much of that confusion was
 around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
 making the semantics clearer).
 
 For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
 implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
 was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged.  For many
 years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
 bit at a time.  To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
 some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.
 
 Eric W. Biederman (15):
       ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h
       ptrace/arm: Rename tracehook_report_syscall report_syscall
       ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h
       ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook

       task_work: Introduce task_work_pending
       task_work: Call tracehook_notify_signal from get_signal on all architectures
       task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work
       signal: Move set_notify_signal and clear_notify_signal into sched/signal.h
       resume_user_mode: Remove #ifdef TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in set_notify_resume
       resume_user_mode: Move to resume_user_mode.h
       tracehook: Remove tracehook.h
       ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop
       ptrace: Return the signal to continue with from ptrace_stop

ab31c7fd2d sched/numa: Fix boot crash on arm64 systems
Qian Cai reported a boot crash on arm64 systems, caused by:

  0fb3978b0a ("sched/numa: Fix NUMA topology for systems with CPU-less nodes")

The bug is that node_state() must be supplied a valid node_states[] array index,
but in task_numa_placement() the max_nid search can fail with NUMA_NO_NODE,
which is not a valid index.

Fix it by checking that max_nid is a valid index.

[ mingo: Added changelog. ]

b9e9c6ca6e sched/headers: Standardize kernel/sched/sched.h header dependencies
kernel/sched/sched.h is a weird mix of ad-hoc headers included
in the middle of the header.

Two of them rely on being included in the middle of kernel/sched/sched.h,
due to definitions they require:

 - "stat.h" needs the rq definitions.
 - "autogroup.h" needs the task_group definition.

Move the inclusion of these two files out of kernel/sched/sched.h, and
include them in all files that require them.

Move of the rest of the header dependencies to the top of the
kernel/sched/sched.h file.

5c7b1aaf13 sched/numa: Avoid migrating task to CPU-less node
In a typical memory tiering system, there's no CPU in slow (PMEM) NUMA
nodes.  But if the number of the hint page faults on a PMEM node is
the max for a task, The current NUMA balancing policy may try to place
the task on the PMEM node instead of DRAM node.  This is unreasonable,
because there's no CPU in PMEM NUMA nodes.  To fix this, CPU-less
nodes are ignored when searching the migration target node for a task
in this patch.

To test the patch, we run a workload that accesses more memory in PMEM
node than memory in DRAM node.  Without the patch, the PMEM node will
be chosen as preferred node in task_numa_placement().  While the DRAM
node will be chosen instead with the patch.

The NUMA topology parameters (sched_numa_topology_type,
sched_domains_numa_levels, and sched_max_numa_distance, etc.)
identified by scheduler may be wrong for systems with CPU-less nodes.

For example, the ACPI SLIT of a system with CPU-less persistent

node 3 free: 253951 MB
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3
  0:  10  21  17  28
  1:  21  10  28  17
  2:  17  28  10  28
  3:  28  17  28  10

In this system, there are only 2 sockets.  In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed.  Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex.  Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3.  And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type.  But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.

This isn't a practical problem now yet.  Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot.  So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT.  And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in.  And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes.  But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.

To test the potential problem.  We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()).  With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,

sched_numa_topology_type:	NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels:	4
sched_max_numa_distance:	28

To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified.  Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.

With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,

sched_numa_topology_type:	NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels:	2
sched_max_numa_distance:	21

e496132ebe sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs
Commit 7d2b5dd0bc ("sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA
nodes") allowed an imbalance between NUMA nodes such that communicating
tasks would not be pulled apart by the load balancer. This works fine when
there is a 1:1 relationship between LLC and node but can be suboptimal
for multiple LLCs if independent tasks prematurely use CPUs sharing cache.

Zen* has multiple LLCs per node with local memory channels and due to
the allowed imbalance, it's far harder to tune some workloads to run
optimally than it is on hardware that has 1 LLC per node. This patch
allows an imbalance to exist up to the point where LLCs should be balanced
between nodes.

On a Zen3 machine running STREAM parallelised with OMP to have on instance
per LLC the results and without binding, the results are

STREAM can use directives to force the spread if the OpenMP is new
enough but that doesn't help if an application uses threads and
it's not known in advance how many threads will be created.

Coremark is a CPU and cache intensive benchmark parallelised with
threads. When running with 1 thread per core, the vanilla kernel
allows threads to contend on cache. With the patch;

It can also make a big difference for semi-realistic workloads
like specjbb which can execute arbitrary numbers of threads without
advance knowledge of how they should be placed. Even in cases where
the average performance is neutral, the results are more stable.

improvements due to better spreading across LLC when the machine is not
fully utilised.

2cfb7a1b03 sched/fair: Improve consistency of allowed NUMA balance calculations
There are inconsistencies when determining if a NUMA imbalance is allowed
that should be corrected.

o allow_numa_imbalance changes types and is not always examining
  the destination group so both the type should be corrected as
  well as the naming.
o find_idlest_group uses the sched_domain's weight instead of the
  group weight which is different to find_busiest_group
o find_busiest_group uses the source group instead of the destination
  which is different to task_numa_find_cpu
o Both find_idlest_group and find_busiest_group should account
  for the number of running tasks if a move was allowed to be
  consistent with task_numa_find_cpu

7ceb771030 sched/pelt: Continue to relax the sync of util_sum with util_avg
Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency
being lower than before:
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045

He bisected the problem to:
commit 1c35b07e6d ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")

This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after
removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By
doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to
LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been
reflected in util_avg.

update_tg_cfs_util() is not the only place where we round util_sum and
lost some accumulated contributions that are not already reflected in
util_avg. Modify update_tg_cfs_util() and detach_entity_load_avg() to not
sync util_sum with the new util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to
the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization,
we propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum
always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been
observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

82762d2af3 sched/fair: Replace CFS internal cpu_util() with cpu_util_cfs()
cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.

Commit a07630b8b2 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.

The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).

For straightforwardness, prefer to keep using `int cpu` as the function
parameter over using `struct rq *rq` which might avoid some calls to
cpu_rq(cpu) -> per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) -> RELOC_HIDE().
Update cfs_util()'s documentation and reuse it for cpu_util_cfs().
Remove cpu_util().

condition for this exit path is incomplete. A task can wake up from an
interrupt context (e.g. hrtimer), while a per-CPU kthread is running. A
such scenario would spuriously trigger the special case described above.
Also, a recent change made the idle task like a regular per-CPU kthread,
hence making that situation more likely to happen
(is_per_cpu_kthread(swapper) being true now).

Checking for task context makes sure select_idle_sibling() will not
interpret a wake up from any other context as a wake up by a per-CPU
kthread.

4feee7d126 sched/core: Forced idle accounting
Adds accounting for "forced idle" time, which is time where a cookie'd
task forces its SMT sibling to idle, despite the presence of runnable
tasks.

Forced idle time is one means to measure the cost of enabling core
scheduling (ie. the capacity lost due to the need to force idle).

Forced idle time is attributed to the thread responsible for causing
the forced idle.

A few details:
 - Forced idle time is displayed via /proc/PID/sched. It also requires
   that schedstats is enabled.
 - Forced idle is only accounted when a sibling hyperthread is held
   idle despite the presence of runnable tasks. No time is charged if
   a sibling is idle but has no runnable tasks.
 - Tasks with 0 cookie are never charged forced idle.
 - For SMT > 2, we scale the amount of forced idle charged based on the
   number of forced idle siblings. Additionally, we split the time up and
   evenly charge it to all running tasks, as each is equally responsible
   for the forced idle.

b027789e5e sched/fair: Prevent dead task groups from regaining cfs_rq's
Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.

His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.

Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.

When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.

To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see
it, as can be seen below:

    CPU1:                                      CPU2:
      :                                        timer IRQ:

      unregister_fair_sched_group():                         struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu_of(rq)];
        :                                                    :
        list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg->cfs_rq[cpu]);               :
        :                                                    :

 (3)    :                                                        list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);
      :                                                      :
      :                                                    :
      :                                                  :
      :                                                :
      :                                              :
 (4)  :                                              rcu_read_unlock();

CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(),
specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at
(1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from
still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink
all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in
unregister_fair_sched_group().  Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of
these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on.

To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until
walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e.
after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe
to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the
dying task group any more.

On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after
unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might
run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd
ones.

This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to
trigger within minutes before.

If dst_cpu is idle but its SMT siblings are busy, performance suffers
if it pulls tasks from a medium priority CPU that does not have SMT
siblings.

Implement asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() to inspect the state of the SMT

60f2415e19 sched: Make schedstats helpers independent of fair sched class
The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are

  update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se)

The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is
used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In
order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass
the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly.

Then the new helpers are

  update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
                      struct sched_statistics *stats)

which are independent of fair sched class.

To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when
!schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also
introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c,

  __update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
                        struct sched_statistics *stats)

The size of vmlinux as follows,
                      Before          After
  Size of vmlinux     826308552       826304640
The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after
the change.

I also compared the sched performance with 'perf bench sched pipe',
suggested by Mel. The result as followsi (in usecs/op),
                             Before                After
  kernel.sched_schedstats=0  5.2~5.4               5.2~5.4
  kernel.sched_schedstats=1  5.3~5.5               5.3~5.5

ceeadb83ae sched: Make struct sched_statistics independent of fair sched class
If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.

After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,

    struct task_struct {
       ...
       struct sched_entity se;
       struct sched_rt_entity rt;
       struct sched_dl_entity dl;
       ...
       struct sched_statistics stats;
       ...
   };

Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -

    struct sched_entity_stats {
        struct sched_entity     se;
        struct sched_statistics stats;
    } __no_randomize_layout;

Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.

The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.

As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
                                  Before               After
      kernel.sched_schedstats=0  5.2~5.4               5.2~5.4
      kernel.sched_schedstats=1  5.3~5.5               5.3~5.5
[These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is
 because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
 different test machine.]

Almost no impact on the sched performance.

No functional change.

2cae3948ed sched: adjust sleeper credit for SCHED_IDLE entities
Give reduced sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities. As a result, woken
SCHED_IDLE entities will take longer to preempt normal entities.

The benefit of this change is to make it less likely that a newly woken
SCHED_IDLE entity will preempt a short-running normal entity before it
blocks.

We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that
idle<->idle competition retains some fairness.

Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of
which was set to SCHED_IDLE. Without this patch, wakeup latency for the
SCHED_IDLE thread was ~1-2ms, with the patch the wakeup latency was
~5ms.

51ce83ed52 sched: reduce sched slice for SCHED_IDLE entities
Use a small, non-scaled min granularity for SCHED_IDLE entities, when
competing with normal entities. This reduces the latency of getting
a normal entity back on cpu, at the expense of increased context
switch frequency of SCHED_IDLE entities.

The benefit of this change is to reduce the round-robin latency for
normal entities when competing with a SCHED_IDLE entity.

Example: on a machine with HZ=1000, spawned two threads, one of which is
SCHED_IDLE, and affined to one cpu. Without this patch, the SCHED_IDLE
thread runs for 4ms then waits for 1.4s. With this patch, it runs for
1ms and waits 340ms (as it round-robins with the other thread).

7fd7a9e0ca sched/fair: Trigger nohz.next_balance updates when a CPU goes NOHZ-idle
Consider a system with some NOHZ-idle CPUs, such that

  nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S
  nohz.next_balance = T

When a new CPU k goes NOHZ idle (nohz_balance_enter_idle()), we end up
with:

  nohz.idle_cpus_mask = S \U {k}
  nohz.next_balance = T

Note that the nohz.next_balance hasn't changed - it won't be updated until
a NOHZ balance is triggered. This is problematic if the newly NOHZ idle CPU
has an earlier rq.next_balance than the other NOHZ idle CPUs, IOW if:

  cpu_rq(k).next_balance < nohz.next_balance

In such scenarios, the existing nohz.next_balance will prevent any NOHZ
balance from happening, which itself will prevent nohz.next_balance from
being updated to this new cpu_rq(k).next_balance. Unnecessary load balance
delays of over 12ms caused by this were observed on an arm64 RB5 board.

Use the new nohz.needs_update flag to mark the presence of newly-idle CPUs
that need their rq->next_balance to be collated into
nohz.next_balance. Trigger a NOHZ_NEXT_KICK when the flag is set.

efd984c481 sched/fair: Add NOHZ balancer flag for nohz.next_balance updates
A following patch will trigger NOHZ idle balances as a means to update
nohz.next_balance. Vincent noted that blocked load updates can have
non-negligible overhead, which should be avoided if the intent is to only
update nohz.next_balance.

Add a new NOHZ balance kick flag, NOHZ_NEXT_KICK. Gate NOHZ blocked load
update by the presence of NOHZ_STATS_KICK - currently all NOHZ balance
kicks will have the NOHZ_STATS_KICK flag set, so no change in behaviour is
expected.

2630cde267 sched/fair: Add ancestors of unthrottled undecayed cfs_rq
Since commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to
list on unthrottle") we add cfs_rqs with no runnable tasks but not fully
decayed into the load (leaf) list. We may ignore adding some ancestors
and therefore breaking tmp_alone_branch invariant. This broke LTP test
cfs_bandwidth01 and it was partially fixed in commit fdaba61ef8
("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling").

I noticed the named test still fails even with the fix (but with low
probability, 1 in ~1000 executions of the test). The reason is when
bailing out of unthrottle_cfs_rq early, we may miss adding ancestors of
the unthrottled cfs_rq, thus, not joining tmp_alone_branch properly.

Fix this by adding ancestors if we notice the unthrottled cfs_rq was
added to the load list.

304000390f sched: Cgroup SCHED_IDLE support
This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups.

Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle.
 0: default behavior
 1: SCHED_IDLE

Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing
aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its
descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its
ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly.
Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight.

There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup
SCHED_IDLE interface:

  - The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to
    maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the
    cgroup, not the tasks themselves.

  - Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption
    decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken
    task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity.

A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a
non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs
the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs
other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing
matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be
improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the
perspective of a specific task).

For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches
may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities.

The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds
either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for
further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may
indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred
for preemption/placement/etc.
