The audit context is an internal audit structure that should only be

The map_lookup_elem used to not acquiring spinlock
in order to optimize the reader.
It was true until commit 557c0c6e7d ("bpf: convert stackmap to pre-allocation")
The syscall's map_lookup_elem(stackmap) calls bpf_stackmap_copy().
bpf_stackmap_copy() may find the elem no longer needed after the copy is done.
If that is the case, pcpu_freelist_push() saves this elem for reuse later.
This push requires a spinlock.
If a tracing bpf_prog got run in the middle of the syscall's
map_lookup_elem(stackmap) and this tracing bpf_prog is calling
bpf_get_stackid(stackmap) which also requires the same pcpu_freelist's
spinlock, it may end up with a dead lock situation as reported by
Eric Dumazet in https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1030266/
The situation is the same as the syscall's map_update_elem() which
needs to acquire the pcpu_freelist's spinlock and could race
with tracing bpf_prog. Hence, this patch fixes it by protecting
bpf_stackmap_copy() with this_cpu_inc(bpf_prog_active)
to prevent tracing bpf_prog from running.
A later syscall's map_lookup_elem commit f1a2e44a3a ("bpf: add queue and stack maps")
also acquires a spinlock and races with tracing bpf_prog similarly.
Hence, this patch is forward looking and protects the majority
of the map lookups. bpf_map_offload_lookup_elem() is the exception
since it is for network bpf_prog only (i.e. never called by tracing
bpf_prog).

The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which
needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid.
However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this
is too late. Even the trivial program which does
for (;;) {
int pid = fork();
assert(pid >= 0);
if (pid)
wait(NULL);
else
exit(0);
}
can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put().
Test-case:
mkdir -p /tmp/CG
mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG
echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir /tmp/CG/PID
echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max
perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' &
echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs
Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration.
Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite
into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually
frees the pid(s).

Introduce four new variants of the async_schedule_ functions that allow
scheduling on a specific NUMA node.
The first two functions are async_schedule_near and
async_schedule_near_domain end up mapping to async_schedule and
async_schedule_domain, but provide NUMA node specific functionality. They
replace the original functions which were moved to inline function
definitions that call the new functions while passing NUMA_NO_NODE.
The second two functions are async_schedule_dev and
async_schedule_dev_domain which provide NUMA specific functionality when
passing a device as the data member and that device has a NUMA node other
than NUMA_NO_NODE.
The main motivation behind this is to address the need to be able to
schedule device specific init work on specific NUMA nodes in order to
improve performance of memory initialization.
I have seen a significant improvement in initialziation time for persistent
memory as a result of this approach. In the case of 3TB of memory on a
single node the initialization time in the worst case went from 36s down to
about 26s for a 10s improvement. As such the data shows a general benefit
for affinitizing the async work to the node local to the device.

Provide a new function, queue_work_node, which is meant to schedule work on
a "random" CPU of the requested NUMA node. The main motivation for this is
to help assist asynchronous init to better improve boot times for devices
that are local to a specific node.
For now we just default to the first CPU that is in the intersection of the
cpumask of the node and the online cpumask. The only exception is if the
CPU is local to the node we will just use the current CPU. This should work
for our purposes as we are currently only using this for unbound work so
the CPU will be translated to a node anyway instead of being directly used.
As we are only using the first CPU to represent the NUMA node for now I am
limiting the scope of the function so that it can only be used with unbound
workqueues.

Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
With the following commit:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled. However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case. So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.
Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
"notsupported"; and
2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.
I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem. Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later. So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).
The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.
So fix it by:
a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
bc2d8d262c ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")
and
b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
warning is needed. This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

Enable DEVX asynchronous query commands
This series enables querying a DEVX object in an asynchronous mode.
The userspace application won't block when calling the firmware and it will be
able to get the response back once that it will be ready.
To enable the above functionality:
- DEVX asynchronous command completion FD object was introduced.
- The applicable file operations were implemented to enable using it by
the user application.
- Query asynchronous method was added to the DEVX object, it will call the
firmware asynchronously and manages the response on the given input FD.
- Hot unplug support was added for the FD to work properly upon
unbind/disassociate.
- mlx5 core fence for asynchronous commands was implemented and used to
prevent racing upon unbind/disassociate.

In case of active balancing, we increase the balance interval to cover
pinned tasks cases not covered by all_pinned logic. Neverthless, the
active migration triggered by asym packing should be treated as the normal
unbalanced case and reset the interval to default value, otherwise active
migration for asym_packing can be easily delayed for hundreds of ms
because of this pinned task detection mechanism.
The same happens to other conditions tested in need_active_balance() like
misfit task and when the capacity of src_cpu is reduced compared to
dst_cpu (see comments in need_active_balance() for details).

When check_asym_packing() is triggered, the imbalance is set to:
busiest_stat.avg_load * busiest_stat.group_capacity / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
But busiest_stat.avg_load equals:
sgs->group_load * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE / sgs->group_capacity
These divisions can generate a rounding that will make imbalance
slightly lower than the weighted load of the cfs_rq. But this is
enough to skip the rq in find_busiest_queue() and prevents asym
migration from happening.
Directly set imbalance to busiest's sgs->group_load to remove the

Traditionally hrtimer callbacks were run with IRQs disabled, but with
the introduction of HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT it is possible they run from
SoftIRQ context, which does _NOT_ have IRQs disabled.
Allow for the CFS bandwidth timers (period_timer and slack_timer) to
be ran from SoftIRQ context; this entails removing the assumption that
IRQs are already disabled from the locking.
While mainline doesn't strictly need this, -RT forces all timers not
explicitly marked with MODE_HARD into MODE_SOFT and trips over this.
And marking these timers as MODE_HARD doesn't make sense as they're
not required for RT operation and can potentially be quite expensive.

The current min/max code does both signed and unsigned comparisons against
the input argument "val" which is "u64" and there is explicit type casting
when the comparison is signed.
As we will need slightly more complexer type casting when JMP32 introduced,
it is better to host the signed type casting. This makes the code more
clean with ignorable runtime overhead.
Also, code for J*GE/GT/LT/LE and JEQ/JNE are very similar, this patch
combine them.
The main purpose for this refactor is to make sure the min/max code will
still be readable and with minimum code duplication after JMP32 introduced.

Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get
stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back
online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook
in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which
rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should
result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers
eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.
queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.
Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local
CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU.

CPU identification and queue_work_on() with preempt_disable().
This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable()
from sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus(), which has the further benefit of reducing
the number of changes that must be maintained in the -rt patchset.

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny
RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes
much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback
invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the
rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks()
has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of
this function is that it performs RCU's core processing.
This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks()
function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with
the existing invoke_rcu_core() function.
While in the area, the header comment is reworked.

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.
This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().
While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

Currently, __note_gp_changes() checks to see if the rcu_node structure's
->gp_seq_needed is greater than or equal to that of the rcu_data
structure, and if so, updates the rcu_data structure's ->gp_seq_needed
field. This results in a useless store in the case where the two fields
are equal.
This commit therefore carries out this store only in the case where the
rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is strictly greater than that of
the rcu_data structure.

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary
to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally
a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from
this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup.
Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.
This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.
This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.
