commit 68d7a190682aa4eb02db477328088ebad15acc83 upstream.
The util_est internal UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag which is used to prevent
unnecessary util_est updates uses the LSB of util_est.enqueued. It is
exposed via _task_util_est() (and task_util_est()).
Commit 92a801e5d5 ("sched/fair: Mask UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED usages")
mentions that the LSB is lost for util_est resolution but
find_energy_efficient_cpu() checks if task_util_est() returns 0 to
return prev_cpu early.
_task_util_est() returns the max value of util_est.ewma and
util_est.enqueued or'ed w/ UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED.
So task_util_est() returning the max of task_util() and
_task_util_est() will never return 0 under the default
SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST, true).
To fix this use the MSB of util_est.enqueued instead and keep the flag
util_est internal, i.e. don't export it via _task_util_est().
The maximal possible util_avg value for a task is 1024 so the MSB of
'unsigned int util_est.enqueued' isn't used to store a util value.
As a caveat the code behind the util_est_se trace point has to filter
UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED to see the real util_est.enqueued value which should
be easy to do.
This also fixes an issue report by Xuewen Yan that util_est_update()
only used UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED for the subtrahend of the equation:
last_enqueued_diff = ue.enqueued - (task_util() | UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED)

The current approach to carry the wake_q length is exposed to an
intertask stack access. For example, if A sets the wake_q_head for
B but is preempted before it is able to set it back to NULL,
then B continues to point to an address corresponding to A's stack.
If B is then woken up by another task, it ends up accessing
the address pointing to A's stack. This causes a memory fault.
Replace this with a simple parameter which indicates the number
of tasks that are being woken up as part of the same event. This
avoids saving and accessing on stack pointers.

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.
Although userspace can carefully manage the affinity masks for such
tasks, one place where it is particularly problematic is execve()
because the CPU on which the execve() is occurring may be incompatible
with the new application image. In such a situation, it is desirable to
restrict the affinity mask of the task and ensure that the new image is
entered on a compatible CPU. From userspace's point of view, this looks
the same as if the incompatible CPUs have been hotplugged off in the
task's affinity mask.
In preparation for restricting the affinity mask for compat tasks on
arm64 systems without uniform support for 32-bit applications, introduce
force_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which restricts the affinity mask
for a task to contain only compatible CPUs.

paused_cpus intending to force CPUs to go idle as quickly as possible,
adding a migration step, to drain the rq from any running task.
Two steps are actually needed. The first one, "lazy", will run before the
cpu_active_mask has been synced. The second one will run after. It is
possible for another CPU, to observe an outdated version of that mask and
to enqueue a task on a rq that has just been marked inactive. The second
migration is there to catch any of those spurious move, while the first
one will drain the rq as quickly as possible to let the CPU reach an idle
state.

Some partners have value-adds based on aosp/540066, which cannot be
carried in ACK in its entirety as it no longer makes sense as-is (the
select_idle_capacity() rework upstream solved the issue differently).
It seems that those partners do not actually need the wake-wide tweaks,
they only need to access the wake_q length for wake-up balance. To
support this, add minimal tracking to the wake_q infrastructure in the
core kernel, but do that by adding a pointer to the wake_q_head to
task_struct directly to not litter all sched classes with an additional
sibling_count_hint argument to the select_task_rq callbacks.
Modules needing to access the wake_q length can do so by dereferencing
p->wake_q_head in the wake-up path when it is non-NULL.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of scheduler fixes:
- Make the conditional update of the overutilized state work
correctly by caching the relevant flags state before overwriting
them and checking them afterwards.
- Fix a data race in the wakeup path which caused loadavg on ARM64
platforms to become a random number generator.
- Fix the ordering of the iowaiter accounting operations so it can't
be decremented before it is incremented.
- Fix a bug in the deadline scheduler vs. priority inheritance when a
non-deadline task A has inherited the parameters of a deadline task
B and then blocks on a non-deadline task C.
The second inheritance step used the static deadline parameters of
task A, which are usually 0, instead of further propagating task
B's parameters. The zero initialized parameters trigger a bug in
the deadline scheduler"

Glenn reported that "an application [he developed produces] a BUG in
deadline.c when a SCHED_DEADLINE task contends with CFS tasks on nested
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutexes. I believe the bug is triggered when a CFS
task that was boosted by a SCHED_DEADLINE task boosts another CFS task

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:
So the execution order of locking steps are the following
(N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)
Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:
N1 N2 D1
| | |
| | |
Lock(M1) | |
| | |
| Lock(M2) |
| | |
| | Lock(M2)
| | |
| Lock(M1) |
| (!!bug triggered!) |
Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).
Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().
Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

Mel reported that on some ARM64 platforms loadavg goes bananas and
Will tracked it down to the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
schedule()
prev->sched_contributes_to_load = X;
deactivate_task(prev);
try_to_wake_up()
if (p->on_rq &&) // false
if (smp_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu) && // true
ttwu_queue_wakelist())
p->sched_remote_wakeup = Y;
smp_store_release(prev->on_cpu, 0);
where both p->sched_contributes_to_load and p->sched_remote_wakeup are
in the same word, and thus the stores X and Y race (and can clobber
one another's data).
Whereas prior to commit c6e7bd7afa ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu()
spinning on p->on_cpu") the p->on_cpu handoff serialized access to
p->sched_remote_wakeup (just as it still does with
p->sched_contributes_to_load) that commit broke that by calling
ttwu_queue_wakelist() with p->on_cpu != 0.
However, due to
p->XXX = X ttwu()
schedule() if (p->on_rq && ...) // false
smp_mb__after_spinlock() if (smp_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu) &&
deactivate_task() ttwu_queue_wakelist())
p->on_rq = 0; p->sched_remote_wakeup = Y;
We can be sure any 'current' store is complete and 'current' is
guaranteed asleep. Therefore we can move p->sched_remote_wakeup into
the current flags word.
Note: while the observed failure was loadavg accounting gone wrong due
to ttwu() cobbering p->sched_contributes_to_load, the reverse problem
is also possible where schedule() clobbers p->sched_remote_wakeup,
this could result in enqueue_entity() wrecking ->vruntime and causing
scheduling artifacts.

algorithm which tries to find a CPU that is not currently busy with
softirqs.
Currently NET_TX, NET_RX, BLOCK and TASKLET softirqs are only deferred
as they can potentially run for long time.

Existing kernel code can only recover from a machine check on code that
is tagged in the exception table with a fault handling recovery path.
Add two new fields in the task structure to pass information from
machine check handler to the "task_work" that is queued to run before
the task returns to user mode:
+ mce_vaddr: will be initialized to the user virtual address of the fault
in the case where the fault occurred in the kernel copying data from
a user address. This is so that kill_me_maybe() can provide that
information to the user SIGBUS handler.
+ mce_kflags: copy of the struct mce.kflags needed by kill_me_maybe()
to determine if mce_vaddr is applicable to this error.
Add code to recover from a machine check while copying data from user
space to the kernel. Action for this case is the same as if the user
touched the poison directly; unmap the page and send a SIGBUS to the task.
Use a new helper function to share common code between the "fault
in user mode" case and the "fault while copying from user" case.
New code paths will be activated by the next patch which sets
MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN.

Grab actual references to the files_struct. To avoid circular references
issues due to this, we add a per-task note that keeps track of what
io_uring contexts a task has used. When the tasks execs or exits its
assigned files, we cancel requests based on this tracking.
With that, we can grab proper references to the files table, and no
longer need to rely on stashing away ring_fd and ring_file to check
if the ring_fd may have been closed.

The bits PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER are tested together in
sched_submit_work() which is considered to be a hot path.
If the two bits cross the 8 or 16 bit boundary then most architecture
require multiple load instructions in order to create the constant
value. Also, such a value can not be encoded within the compare opcode.
By moving the bit definition within the same block, the compiler can
create/use one immediate value.
For some reason gcc-10 on ARM64 requires both bits to be next to each
other in order to issue "tst reg, val; bne label". Otherwise the result
is "mov reg1, val; tst reg, reg1; bne label".

Pull more timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of posix CPU timer changes which allows to defer the heavy work
of posix CPU timers into task work context. The tick interrupt is
reduced to a quick check which queues the work which is doing the
heavy lifting before returning to user space or going back to guest
mode. Moving this out is deferring the signal delivery slightly but
posix CPU timers are inaccurate by nature as they depend on the tick
so there is no real damage. The relevant test cases all passed.
This lifts the last offender for RT out of the hard interrupt context
tick handler, but it also has the general benefit that the actual
heavy work is accounted to the task/process and not to the tick
interrupt itself.
Further optimizations are possible to break long sighand lock hold and
interrupt disabled (on !RT kernels) times when a massive amount of
posix CPU timers (which are unpriviledged) is armed for a
task/process.
This is currently only enabled for x86 because the architecture has to
ensure that task work is handled in KVM before entering a guest, which
was just established for x86 with the new common entry/exit code which
got merged post 5.8 and is not the case for other KVM architectures"

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
cannot validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
the lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
been moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs
which have been addressed already independent of this.
While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the
seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a
reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section.
- Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and
initializers"

Running posix CPU timers in hard interrupt context has a few downsides:
- For PREEMPT_RT it cannot work as the expiry code needs to take
sighand lock, which is a 'sleeping spinlock' in RT. The original RT
approach of offloading the posix CPU timer handling into a high
priority thread was clumsy and provided no real benefit in general.
- For fine grained accounting it's just wrong to run this in context of
the timer interrupt because that way a process specific CPU time is
accounted to the timer interrupt.
- Long running timer interrupts caused by a large amount of expiring
timers which can be created and armed by unpriviledged user space.
There is no hard requirement to expire them in interrupt context.
If the signal is targeted at the task itself then it won't be delivered
before the task returns to user space anyway. If the signal is targeted at
a supervisor process then it might be slightly delayed, but posix CPU
timers are inaccurate anyway due to the fact that they are tied to the
tick.
Provide infrastructure to schedule task work which allows splitting the
posix CPU timer code into a quick check in interrupt context and a thread
context expiry and signal delivery function. This has to be enabled by
architectures as it requires that the architecture specific KVM
implementation handles pending task work before exiting to guest mode.

To improve the general usefulness of the IRQ state trace events with
KCSAN enabled, save and restore the trace information when entering and
exiting the KCSAN runtime as well as when generating a KCSAN report.
Without this, reporting the IRQ trace events (whether via a KCSAN report
or outside of KCSAN via a lockdep report) is rather useless due to
continuously being touched by KCSAN. This is because if KCSAN is
enabled, every instrumented memory access causes changes to IRQ trace
events (either by KCSAN disabling/enabling interrupts or taking
report_lock when generating a report).
Before "lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking", KCSAN avoided
touching the IRQ trace events via raw_local_irq_save/restore() and
lockdep_off/on().

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not
contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write
side critical section.
Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a
spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that
the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side
critical section is entered.
If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

RT tasks by default run at the highest capacity/performance level. When
uclamp is selected this default behavior is retained by enforcing the
requested uclamp.min (p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) of the RT tasks to be
uclamp_none(UCLAMP_MAX), which is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; the maximum
value.
This is also referred to as 'the default boost value of RT tasks'.
See commit 1a00d99997 ("sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks").
On battery powered devices, it is desired to control this default
(currently hardcoded) behavior at runtime to reduce energy consumed by
RT tasks.
For example, a mobile device manufacturer where big.LITTLE architecture
is dominant, the performance of the little cores varies across SoCs, and
on high end ones the big cores could be too power hungry.
Given the diversity of SoCs, the new knob allows manufactures to tune
the best performance/power for RT tasks for the particular hardware they
run on.
They could opt to further tune the value when the user selects
a different power saving mode or when the device is actively charging.
The runtime aspect of it further helps in creating a single kernel image
that can be run on multiple devices that require different tuning.
Keep in mind that a lot of RT tasks in the system are created by the
kernel. On Android for instance I can see over 50 RT tasks, only
a handful of which created by the Android framework.
To control the default behavior globally by system admins and device
integrator, introduce the new sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
to change the default boost value of the RT tasks.
I anticipate this to be mostly in the form of modifying the init script
of a particular device.
To avoid polluting the fast path with unnecessary code, the approach
taken is to synchronously do the update by traversing all the existing
tasks in the system. This could race with a concurrent fork(), which is
dealt with by introducing sched_post_fork() function which will ensure
the racy fork will get the right update applied.
Tested on Juno-r2 in combination with the RT capacity awareness [1].
By default an RT task will go to the highest capacity CPU and run at the
maximum frequency, which is particularly energy inefficient on high end
mobile devices because the biggest core[s] are 'huge' and power hungry.
With this patch the RT task can be controlled to run anywhere by
default, and doesn't cause the frequency to be maximum all the time.
Yet any task that really needs to be boosted can easily escape this
default behavior by modifying its requested uclamp.min value
(p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) via sched_setattr() syscall.
