This adds support for creating a process in a different cgroup than its
parent. Callers can limit and account processes and threads right from
the moment they are spawned:
- A service manager can directly spawn new services into dedicated
cgroups.
- A process can be directly created in a frozen cgroup and will be
frozen as well.
- The initial accounting jitter experienced by process supervisors and
daemons is eliminated with this.
- Threaded applications or even thread implementations can choose to
create a specific cgroup layout where each thread is spawned
directly into a dedicated cgroup.
This feature is limited to the unified hierarchy. Callers need to pass
a directory file descriptor for the target cgroup. The caller can
choose to pass an O_PATH file descriptor. All usual migration
restrictions apply, i.e. there can be no processes in inner nodes. In
general, creating a process directly in a target cgroup adheres to all
migration restrictions.
One of the biggest advantages of this feature is that CLONE_INTO_GROUP does
not need to grab the write side of the cgroup cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem.
This global lock makes moving tasks/threads around super expensive. With
clone3() this lock is avoided.

The core codepaths to check whether a process can be attached to a
cgroup are the same for threads and thread-group leaders. Only a small
piece of code verifying that source and destination cgroup are in the
same domain differentiates the thread permission checking from
thread-group leader permission checking.
Since cgroup_migrate_vet_dst() only matters cgroup2 - it is a noop on
cgroup1 - we can move it out of cgroup_attach_task().
All checks can now be consolidated into a new helper
cgroup_attach_permissions() callable from both cgroup_procs_write() and
cgroup_threads_write().

After commit c3082a674f ("PM: QoS: Get rid of unused flags") the
only global PM QoS class in use is PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY and the
existing PM QoS debugfs interface has become overly complicated (as
it takes other potentially possible PM QoS classes that are not there
any more into account). It is also not particularly useful (the
"type" of the PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY is known, its aggregate value
can be read from /dev/cpu_dma_latency and the number of requests in
the queue does not really matter) and there are no known users
depending on it. Moreover, there are dedicated trace events that
can be used for tracking PM QoS usage with much higher precision.
For these reasons, drop the PM QoS debugfs interface altogether.

The low level index is the index in the underlying hardware buffer of
the most recently captured taken branch which is always saved in
branch_entries[0]. It is very useful for reconstructing the call stack.
For example, in Intel LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed
LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. With the low level
index information, perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The
reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation.
Add a new branch sample type to retrieve low level index of raw branch
records. The low level index is between -1 (unknown) and max depth which
can be retrieved in /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches.
Only when the new branch sample type is set, the low level index
information is dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output.
Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the
corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples.
Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a
perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version
perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information
without any warning.

Once a lock class is zapped, all the lock chains that include the zapped
class are essentially useless. The lock_chain structure itself can be
reused, but not the corresponding chain_hlocks[] entries. Over time,
we will run out of chain_hlocks entries while there are still plenty
of other lockdep array entries available.
To fix this imbalance, we have to make chain_hlocks entries reusable
just like the others. As the freed chain_hlocks entries are in blocks of
various lengths. A simple bitmap like the one used in the other reusable
lockdep arrays isn't applicable. Instead the chain_hlocks entries are
put into bucketed lists (MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS) of chain blocks. Bucket 0
is the variable size bucket which houses chain blocks of size larger than
MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS sorted in decreasing size order. Initially, the whole
array is in one chain block (the primordial chain block) in bucket 0.
The minimum size of a chain block is 2 chain_hlocks entries. That will
be the minimum allocation size. In other word, allocation requests
for one chain_hlocks entry will cause 2-entry block to be returned and
hence 1 entry will be wasted.
Allocation requests for the chain_hlocks are fulfilled first by looking
for chain block of matching size. If not found, the first chain block
from bucket[0] (the largest one) is split. That can cause hlock entries
fragmentation and reduce allocation efficiency if a chain block of size >
MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS is ever zapped and put back to after the primordial
chain block. So the MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS must be large enough that this
should seldom happen.
By reusing the chain_hlocks entries, we are able to handle workloads
that add and zap a lot of lock classes without the risk of running out
of chain_hlocks entries as long as the total number of outstanding lock
classes at any time remain within a reasonable limit.
Two new tracking counters, nr_free_chain_hlocks & nr_large_chain_blocks,
are added to track the total number of chain_hlocks entries in the
free bucketed lists and the number of large chain blocks in buckets[0]
respectively. The nr_free_chain_hlocks replaces nr_chain_hlocks.
The nr_large_chain_blocks counter enables to see if we should increase
the number of buckets (MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS) available so as to avoid to
avoid the fragmentation problem in bucket[0].
An internal nfsd test that ran for more than an hour and kept on
loading and unloading kernel modules could cause the following message
to be displayed.
[ 4318.443670] BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!
The patched kernel was able to complete the test with a lot of free
chain_hlocks entries to spare:
# cat /proc/lockdep_stats
:
dependency chains: 18867 [max: 65536]
dependency chain hlocks: 74926 [max: 327680]
dependency chain hlocks lost: 0
:
zapped classes: 1541
zapped lock chains: 56765
large chain blocks: 1
By changing MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS to 3 and add a counter for the size of the
largest chain block. The system still worked and We got the following
lockdep_stats data:
dependency chains: 18601 [max: 65536]
dependency chain hlocks used: 73133 [max: 327680]
dependency chain hlocks lost: 0
:
zapped classes: 1541
zapped lock chains: 56702
large chain blocks: 45165
large chain block size: 20165
By running the test again, I was indeed able to cause chain_hlocks
entries to get lost:
dependency chain hlocks used: 74806 [max: 327680]
dependency chain hlocks lost: 575
:
large chain blocks: 48737
large chain block size: 7
Due to the fragmentation, it is possible that the
"MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" error can happen even if a lot of
of chain_hlocks entries appear to be free.
Fortunately, a MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS value of 16 should be big enough that
few variable sized chain blocks, other than the initial one, should
ever be present in bucket 0.

If a lock chain contains a class that is zapped, the whole lock chain is
likely to be invalid. If the zapped class is at the end of the chain,
the partial chain without the zapped class should have been stored
already as the current code will store all its predecessor chains. If
the zapped class is somewhere in the middle, there is no guarantee that
the partial chain will actually happen. It may just clutter up the hash
and make searching slower. I would rather prefer storing the chain only
when it actually happens.
So just dump the corresponding chain_hlocks entries for now. A latter
patch will try to reuse the freed chain_hlocks entries.
This patch also changes the type of nr_chain_hlocks to unsigned integer

They are incremented when a new lock chain is added, but they are

It is theoretically possible for the ACPI EC GPE to be set after the
s2idle_ops->wake() called from s2idle_loop() has returned and before
the subsequent pm_wakeup_pending() check is carried out. If that
happens, the resulting wakeup event will cause the system to resume
even though it may be a spurious one.
To avoid that race, first make the ->wake() callback in struct
platform_s2idle_ops return a bool value indicating whether or not
to let the system resume and rearrange s2idle_loop() to use that
value instad of the direct pm_wakeup_pending() call if ->wake() is
present.
Next, rework acpi_s2idle_wake() to process EC events and check
pm_wakeup_pending() before re-arming the SCI for system wakeup
to prevent it from triggering prematurely and add comments to
that function to explain the rationale for the new code flow.

Common Criteria calls out for any action that modifies the audit trail to
be recorded. That usually is interpreted to mean insertion or removal of
rules. It is not required to log modification of the inode information
since the watch is still in effect. Additionally, if the rule is a never
rule and the underlying file is one they do not want events for, they
get an event for this bookkeeping update against their wishes.
Since no device/inode info is logged at insertion and no device/inode
information is logged on update, there is nothing meaningful being
communicated to the admin by the CONFIG_CHANGE updated_rules event. One
can assume that the rule was not "modified" because it is still watching
the intended target. If the device or inode cannot be resolved, then
audit_panic is called which is sufficient.
The correct resolution is to drop logging config_update events since
the watch is still in effect but just on another unknown inode.

The following XFS commit:
8ab39f11d9 ("xfs: prevent CIL push holdoff in log recovery")
changed the logic from using bound workqueues to using unbound
workqueues. Functionally this makes sense but it was observed at the
time that the dbench performance dropped quite a lot and CPU migrations
were increased.
The current pattern of the task migration is straight-forward. With XFS,
an IO issuer delegates work to xlog_cil_push_work ()on an unbound kworker.
This runs on a nearby CPU and on completion, dbench wakes up on its old CPU
as it is still idle and no migration occurs. dbench then queues the real
IO on the blk_mq_requeue_work() work item which runs on a bound kworker
which is forced to run on the same CPU as dbench. When IO completes,
the bound kworker wakes dbench but as the kworker is a bound but,
real task, the CPU is not considered idle and dbench gets migrated by
select_idle_sibling() to a new CPU. dbench may ping-pong between two CPUs
for a while but ultimately it starts a round-robin of all CPUs sharing
the same LLC. High-frequency migration on each IO completion has poor
performance overall. It has negative implications both in commication
costs and power management. mpstat confirmed that at low thread counts
that all CPUs sharing an LLC has low level of activity.
Note that even if the CIL patch was reverted, there still would
be migrations but the impact is less noticeable. It turns out that
individually the scheduler, XFS, blk-mq and workqueues all made sensible
decisions but in combination, the overall effect was sub-optimal.
This patch special cases the IO issue/completion pattern and allows
a bound kworker waker and a task wakee to stack on the same CPU if
there is a strong chance they are directly related. The expectation
is that the kworker is likely going back to sleep shortly. This is not
guaranteed as the IO could be queued asynchronously but there is a very
strong relationship between the task and kworker in this case that would
justify stacking on the same CPU instead of migrating. There should be
few concerns about kworker starvation given that the special casing is
only when the kworker is the waker.

Dbench has been modified to report the time to complete a single "load
file". This is a more meaningful metric for dbench that a throughput
metric as the benchmark makes many different system calls that are not
throughput-related
Patch shows a 9.23% and 48.53% reduction in the time to process a load
file with the difference partially explained by the number of CPUs sharing
a LLC. In a separate run, task migrations were almost eliminated by the
patch for low client counts. In case people have issue with the metric
used for the benchmark, this is a comparison of the throughputs as
reported by dbench on the NUMA machine.

Note that this is somewhat specific to XFS and ext4 shows no performance
difference as it does not rely on kworkers in the same way. No major
problem was observed running other workloads on different machines although
not all tests have completed yet.
