A new task's util_avg is set to full utilization of a CPU (100% time
running). This accelerates a new task's utilization ramp-up, useful to
boost its execution in early time. However, it may result in
(insanely) high utilization for a transient time period when a flood
of tasks are spawned. Importantly, it violates the "fundamentally
bounded" CPU utilization, and its side effect is negative if we don't
take any measure to bound it.
This patch proposes an algorithm to address this issue. It has
two methods to approach a sensible initial util_avg:
(1) An expected (or average) util_avg based on its cfs_rq's util_avg:
util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight
(2) A trajectory of how successive new tasks' util develops, which
gives 1/2 of the left utilization budget to a new task such that
the additional util is noticeably large (when overall util is low) or
unnoticeably small (when overall util is high enough). In the meantime,
the aggregate utilization is well bounded:
util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n
where n denotes the nth task.
If util_avg is larger than util_avg_cap, then the effective util is
clamped to the util_avg_cap.

As I'm tracing preemption disabled, it seemed incorrect that the trace
would go across a schedule and report not being in the scheduler.
Looking into this I discovered the problem.
schedule() calls preempt_disable() but the preempt_schedule() calls
preempt_enable_notrace(). What happened above was that the gnome-shell
task was preempted on another CPU, migrated over to the idle cpu. The
tracer stared with idle calling schedule(), which called
preempt_disable(), but then gnome-shell finished, and it enabled
preemption with preempt_enable_notrace() that does stop the trace, even
though preemption was enabled.
The purpose of the preempt_disable_notrace() in the preempt_schedule()
is to prevent function tracing from going into an infinite loop.
Because function tracing can trace the preempt_enable/disable() calls
that are traced. The problem with function tracing is:
NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule()
preempt_disable()
preempt_count_inc()
function trace (before incrementing preempt count)
preempt_disable_notrace()
preempt_enable_notrace()
sees NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule() (repeat)
Now by breaking out the preempt off/on tracing into their own code:
preempt_disable_check() and preempt_enable_check(), we can add these to
the preempt_schedule() code. As preemption would then be disabled, even
if they were to be traced by the function tracer, the disabled
preemption would prevent the recursion.

This patch functionally reverts:
5fd7a09cfb ("atomic: Export fetch_or()")
During the merge Linus observed that the generic version of fetch_or()
was messy:
" This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it. "
e23604edac Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Now that we have introduced atomic_fetch_or(), fetch_or() is only used
by the scheduler in order to deal with thread_info flags which type
can vary across architectures.
Lets confine fetch_or() back to the scheduler so that we encourage
future users to use the more robust and well typed atomic_t version
instead.
While at it, fetch_or() gets robustified, pasting improvements from a
previous patch by Ingo Molnar that avoids needless expression
re-evaluations in the loop.

The CPU controller hasn't kept up with the various changes in the whole
cgroup initialization / destruction sequence, and commit:
2e91fa7f6d ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups")
caused it to explode.
The reason for this is that zombies do not inhibit css_offline() from
being called, but do stall css_released(). Now we tear down the cfs_rq
structures on css_offline() but zombies can run after that, leading to
use-after-free issues.
The solution is to move the tear-down to css_released(), which
guarantees nobody (including no zombies) is still using our cgroup.
Furthermore, a few simple cleanups are possible too. There doesn't
appear to be any point to us using css_online() (anymore?) so fold that
in css_alloc().
And since cgroup code guarantees an RCU grace period between
css_released() and css_free() we can forgo using call_rcu() and free the
stuff immediately.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
- The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
most related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
verify and extend.
- Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
- cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
- There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
pull request w/ stable cc'd.

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poision prior to returning.
In the case of CPU hotplug, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep
in C code. Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.
When a CPU is subsequently brought back into the kernel via a different
path, depending on stackframe, layout calls to instrumented functions
may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN splats to the
console.
To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.

The dl_new field of struct sched_dl_entity is currently used to
identify new deadline tasks, so that their deadline and runtime
can be properly initialised.
However, these tasks can be easily identified by checking if
their deadline is smaller than the current time when they switch
to SCHED_DEADLINE. So, dl_new can be removed by introducing this
check in switched_to_dl(); this allows to simplify the
SCHED_DEADLINE code.

On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:
u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());
steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;
So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat
become stale.
Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.
None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.
Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
sched tick dependency, migrate sched to the new mask.
Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the
tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by
order of priority:
SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime
SCHED_FIFO : Don't need the tick (no round-robin)
SCHED_RR : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority
for round robin (simplified with checking if more than
one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority).
SCHED_NORMAL : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin.
We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick
dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy
concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation.
Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get
rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu
timers.

The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller
in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for
its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct
caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines
those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or
local_bh_disable().
This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries
CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function.
This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for
preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or
local_bh_disable().
Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename.

So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which
would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path
we fail to do so.
So this was introduced at around v3.14, by:
c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy.
Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it
preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling
the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list.
In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE,
introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these
cases to preserve other invariants.
Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that
things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder
FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).

in an RCU callback).
Put it in the ->css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup
destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to
userspace. The ->css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order
after the following v4.4 commit:

objtool reports the following warnings for __schedule():
kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x40a: call without frame pointer save/setup
kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x7fd: frame pointer state mismatch
kernel/sched/core.o: warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x421: frame pointer state mismatch
Basically it's confused by two unusual attributes of the switch_to()
macro:
1. It saves prev's frame pointer to the old stack and restores next's
frame pointer from the new stack.
2. For new tasks it jumps directly to ret_from_fork.
Eventually it would probably be a good idea to clean up the
ret_from_fork hack so that new tasks are created with a valid initial
stack, as suggested by Andy:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrWsqCw4L1qKO9j9L5F+4ED4viuLQTFc=n1pKBZfFPQUFg@mail.gmail.com
Then __schedule() could return normally into the new code and objtool
hopefully wouldn't have a problem anymore.
In the meantime, mark its stack frame as non-standard so we can have a
baseline with no objtool warnings. The marker also serves as a reminder
that this code could be improved a bit.

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.
The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.
These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

the specified CPUs.
If a CPU is specified that is outside the range of 0 to nr_cpu_ids,
cpulist_parse() will return -ERANGE, return an empty cpulist, and

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree
3b13758f51 ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid")
conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending
fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes.
1f7dd3e5a6 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling")
The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and
updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it
can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter
drops @css from cgrp_attach().
Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid()
with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in
cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is
only one target css during migration, this is fine.

We need the scheduler's fastpaths to be, well, fast, and unnecessarily
disabling and re-enabling interrupts is not necessarily consistent with
this goal. Especially given that there are regions of the scheduler that
already have interrupts disabled.
This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_note_context_switch()
to one of the interrupts-disabled regions of the scheduler, and
removes the now-redundant disabling and re-enabling of interrupts from
rcu_note_context_switch() and the functions it calls.

[ paulmck: Shift rcu_note_context_switch() to avoid deadlock, as suggested
by Peter Zijlstra. ]
If a system with large number of sockets was driven to full
utilization, it was found that the clock tick handling occupied a
rather significant proportion of CPU time when fair group scheduling
and autogroup were enabled.
Running a java benchmark on a 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the perf
profile looked like:
10.52% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
9.66% 0.05% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] hrtimer_interrupt
8.65% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] tick_sched_timer
8.56% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_process_times
8.07% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] scheduler_tick
6.91% 1.78% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] task_tick_fair
5.24% 5.04% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_shares
In particular, the high CPU time consumed by update_cfs_shares()
was mostly due to contention on the cacheline that contained the
task_group's load_avg statistical counter. This cacheline may also
contains variables like shares, cfs_rq & se which are accessed rather
frequently during clock tick processing.
This patch moves the load_avg variable into another cacheline
separated from the other frequently accessed variables. It also
creates a cacheline aligned kmemcache for task_group to make sure
that all the allocated task_group's are cacheline aligned.
By doing so, the perf profile became:
9.44% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
8.74% 0.01% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] hrtimer_interrupt
7.83% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] tick_sched_timer
7.74% 0.00% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_process_times
7.27% 0.03% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] scheduler_tick
5.94% 1.74% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] task_tick_fair
4.15% 3.92% java [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_cfs_shares
The %cpu time is still pretty high, but it is better than before. The
benchmark results before and after the patch was as follows:
Before patch - Max-jOPs: 907533 Critical-jOps: 134877
After patch - Max-jOPs: 916011 Critical-jOps: 142366

When building a kernel with a gcc 6 snapshot the compiler complains
about unused const static variables for prio_to_weight and prio_to_mult

The way the array is currently declared it will be duplicated in
every scheduler file that includes sched.h, which seems rather wasteful.
Move the array out of line into core.c. I also added a sched_ prefix

The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair
class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a
task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair
class.
This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly
read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq,
ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time.
These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from
one another, so there is a definite bound on things.

root_domain::rto_mask allocated through alloc_cpumask_var()
contains garbage data, this may cause problems. For instance,
When doing pull_rt_task(), it may do useless iterations if
rto_mask retains some extra garbage bits. Worse still, this
violates the isolated domain rule for clustered scheduling
using cpuset, because the tasks(with all the cpus allowed)
belongs to one root domain can be pulled away into another
root domain.
The patch cleans the garbage by using zalloc_cpumask_var()
instead of alloc_cpumask_var() for root_domain::rto_mask
allocation, thereby addressing the issues.
Do the same thing for root_domain's other cpumask memembers:
dlo_mask, span, and online.

Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- B
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.
The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated. All controllers are
updated accordingly.
* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf,
netclassid and netprio fall in this category.
* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The
only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
is obtained.
* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.
* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

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 task is migrating mark task->on_rq with
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while dequeuing and enqueuing due to migration.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:
- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.
- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

Ensure the stopper thread is active 'early', because the load balancer
pretty much assumes that its available. And when 'online && active' the
load-balancer is fully available.
Not only the numa balancing stop_two_cpus() caller relies on it, but
also the self migration stuff does, and at CPU_ONLINE time the cpu
really is 'free' to run anything.

This reverts:
8cb9764fc8 ("nohz: Set isolcpus when nohz_full is set")
We assumed that full-nohz users always want scheduler isolation on full
dynticks CPUs, therefore we included full-nohz CPUs on cpu_isolated_map.
This means that tasks run by default on CPUs outside the nohz_full range
unless their affinity is explicity overwritten.
This suits pure isolation workloads but when the machine is needed to
run common workloads, the available sets of CPUs to run common tasks
becomes reduced.
We reach an extreme case when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL is enabled as it
leaves only CPU 0 for non-isolation tasks, which makes people think that
their supercomputer regressed to 90's UP - which is true in a sense.
Some full-nohz users appear to be interested in running normal workloads
either before or after an isolation workload. Full-nohz isn't optimized
toward normal workloads but it's still better than UP performance.
We are reaching a limitation in kernel presets here. Lets revert this
cpu_isolated_map inclusion and let userspace do its own scheduler
isolation using cpusets or explicit affinity settings.

cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the
exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup.
This is unnecessary and undesirable.
No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with
non-root cgroups. Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the
association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep
consistent with the cgroup core behavior.
Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held
by zombies or determine where the zombies came from. Currently, pids
controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies
always escape the resource restriction. With cgroup association being
reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful.
There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit. The zombie can
be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on
"cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup
removal. It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup
membership is maintained. This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies
associated with their cgroups at the time of exit.
* Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set
lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set
while pinning and pointing to the css_set. This keeps css_set
association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs"
and populated_cnt tracking. The css_set reference is dropped when
the task_struct is freed.
* ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the
associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set. Removed.
* cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks.
There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit. The final
schedule out is enough. The callbacks are removed.
* On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes. "/proc/PID/cgroup"
still reports "/" for all zombies. On the default hierarchy,
"/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged
to at the time of exit. If the cgroup gets removed before the task
is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended.
v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when
!CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

The new locktorture rtmutex_lock tests exercise priority boosting, which
means that they need to set some tasks to real-time priority. To do this,
they use sched_setscheduler_nocheck(). However, this is not exported to
modules, which results in the following error when building locktorture
as a module:
ERROR: "sched_setscheduler_nocheck" [kernel/locking/locktorture.ko] undefined!
This commit therefore adds an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to allow this function
to be invoked from locktorture when built as a module.

(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't care
less and the change is ok.
(2) PPC and MIPS, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch predictions
as it seems to be pointless [1] and thus callers should not be trying to
push an optimization in the first place.
(3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an
unlikely compiler flag already.
Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().

This alternative patch solves the problem by not calling
sched_info_{de,}queued() in {de,en}queue_task(). Therefore the
sched_info state is preserved and things work as expected.
By inlining the {de,en}queue_task() functions the new condition
becomes (mostly) a compile-time constant and we'll not emit any new
branch instructions.
It even shrinks the code (due to inlining {en,de}queue_task()):

preempt_schedule_common() is marked notrace, but it does not use
_notrace() preempt_count functions and __schedule() is also not marked
notrace, which means that its perfectly possible to end up in the
tracer from preempt_schedule_common().
Steve says:
| Yep, there's some history to this. This was originally the issue that
| caused function tracing to go into infinite recursion. But now we have
| preempt_schedule_notrace(), which is used by the function tracer, and
| that function must not be traced till preemption is disabled.
|
| Now if function tracing is running and we take an interrupt when
| NEED_RESCHED is set, it calls
|
| preempt_schedule_common() (not traced)
|
| But then that calls preempt_disable() (traced)
|
| function tracer calls preempt_disable_notrace() followed by
| preempt_enable_notrace() which will see NEED_RESCHED set, and it will
| call preempt_schedule_notrace(), which stops the recursion, but
| still calls __schedule() here, and that means when we return, we call
| the __schedule() from preempt_schedule_common().
|
| That said, I prefer this patch. Preemption is disabled before calling
| __schedule(), and we get rid of a one round recursion with the
| scheduler.

When we warn about a preempt_count leak; reset the preempt_count to
the known good value such that the problem does not ripple forward.
This is most important on x86 which has a per cpu preempt_count that is
not saved/restored (after this series). So if you schedule with an
invalid (!2*PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET) preempt_count the next task is
messed up too.
Enforcing this invariant limits the borkage to just the one task.

There is only a single PREEMPT_ACTIVE use in the regular __schedule()
path and that is to circumvent the task->state check. Since the code
setting PREEMPT_ACTIVE is the immediate caller of __schedule() we can
replace this with a function argument.

Assuming units of PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET for preempt_count() numbers.
Now that TASK_DEAD no longer results in preempt_count() == 3 during
scheduling, we will always call context_switch() with preempt_count()
== 2.
However, we don't always end up with preempt_count() == 2 in
finish_task_switch() because new tasks get created with
preempt_count() == 1.
Create FORK_PREEMPT_COUNT and set it to 2 and use that in the right
places. Note that we cannot use INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT as that serves
another purpose (boot).
After this, preempt_count() is invariant across the context switch,
with exception of PREEMPT_ACTIVE.

TASK_DEAD is special in that the final schedule call from do_exit()
must be done with preemption disabled.
This means we end up scheduling with a preempt_count() higher than
usual (3 instead of the 'expected' 2).
Since future patches will want to rely on an invariant
preempt_count() value during schedule, fix this up.

So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
context_switch(A, B)
ttwu(A)
LOCK A->pi_lock
A->on_cpu == 0
finish_task_switch(A)
prev_state = A->state <-.
WMB |
A->on_cpu = 0; |
UNLOCK rq0->lock |
| context_switch(C, A)
`-- A->state = TASK_DEAD
prev_state == TASK_DEAD
put_task_struct(A)
context_switch(A, C)
finish_task_switch(A)
A->state == TASK_DEAD
put_task_struct(A)
The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A->state on CPU0
to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A->state, which will then
result in a double-drop and use-after-free.
Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago)
that we need to observe A->state while holding rq->lock because that
will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact
acquire (that) rq->lock; it takes A->pi_lock these days.
We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is
expensive, so we'd rather avoid that.
The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&A->on_cpu, 0),
which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

Commit 2ee507c472 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task
check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current
runqueue with the smp_processor_id. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is
bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker).
With commit f781951299 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM
calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that
generates a lot of kernel messages.
To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness,
we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

Sasha reports that his virtual machine tries to schedule the idle
thread since commit 6c37067e27 ("sched: Change the
sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() calling context").
Hit trace shows this happening from idle_thread_get()->init_idle(),
which is the _second_ init_idle() invocation on that task_struct, the
first being done through idle_init()->fork_idle(). (this code is
insane...)
Because we call init_idle() twice in a row, its ->sched_class ==
&idle_sched_class and ->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED. This means
do_set_cpus_allowed() think we're queued and will call dequeue_task(),
which is implemented with BUG() for the idle class, seeing how
dequeueing the idle task is a daft thing.
Aside of the whole insanity of calling init_idle() _twice_, change the
code to call set_cpus_allowed_common() instead as this is 'obviously'
before the idle task gets ran etc..

This commit ensures that NUMA hinting faults occur only on a NUMA system
by setting/resetting sched_numa_balancing.

As Peterz pointed out:
| So the normal rules for changing task_struct::cpus_allowed are holding
| both pi_lock and rq->lock, such that holding either stabilizes the mask.
|
| This is so that wakeup can happen without rq->lock and load-balance
| without pi_lock.
|
| From this we already get the relaxation that we can omit acquiring
| rq->lock if the task is not on the rq, because in that case
| load-balancing will not apply to it.
|
| ** these are the rules currently tested in do_set_cpus_allowed() **
|
| Now, since __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() uses task_rq_lock() which
| unconditionally acquires both locks, we could get away with holding just
| rq->lock when on_rq for modification because that'd still exclude
| __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), it would also work against
| __kthread_bind_mask() because that assumes !on_rq.
|
| That said, this is all somewhat fragile.
|
| Now, I don't think dropping rq->lock is quite as disastrous as it
| usually is because !cpu_active at this point, which means load-balance
| will not interfere, but that too is somewhat fragile.
|
| So we end up with a choice of two fragile..
This patch fixes it by following the rules for changing
task_struct::cpus_allowed with both pi_lock and rq->lock held.

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:
- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
(atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
(atomic_{set,clear}_mask())
The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()
This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)
- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
by introducing a new one:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)
- qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)
- small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)
- ... and misc other changes"

The problem addressed in this patch is about affining unpinned
timers. Adaptive or Full Dynticks CPUs are currently disturbed
by unnecessary jitter due to firing of such timers on them.
This patch will affine timers to online CPUs which are not full
dynticks in NOHZ_FULL configured systems. It should not
introduce overhead in nohz full off case due to static keys.
