We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained
deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not
designed for such sort of tasks.
One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task
suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close
to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task
to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation,
the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation,
and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline
in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks.
Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which
the external event source suffered from a clock drift.
However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained
deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters:
runtime = 5 ms
deadline = 7 ms
[density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71
period = 1000 ms
If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms,
it will be awakened with the following parameters:
remaining runtime = 4
laxity = 5
presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80.
In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early
wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will
be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run.
The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep
receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this
behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running
more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run.
Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe
Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with
self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than
replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule
adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed
density.
A revised version of the idea is:
At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be
higher than its relative density, that is:
runtime / (deadline - t) <= dl_runtime / dl_deadline
Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move
it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max
remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without
over-running the allowed density:
runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t)
For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run:
runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5
runtime = 3.57 ms
Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy
that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative
runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch:
df8eac8caf ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline")
Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the
deadline.
Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for
all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions
about pros and cons.

Instead of decreasing the runtime as "dq = -Uact dt" (eventually
divided by the maximum utilization available for deadline tasks),
decrease it as "dq = -max{u, (1 - Uinact)} dt", where u is the task
utilization and Uinact is the "inactive utilization".
In this way, the maximum fraction of CPU time that can be reclaimed
is given by the total utilization of deadline tasks.
This approach solves a fairness issue with "traditional" global GRUB
reclaiming: using the traditional GRUB algorithm, if tasks are
allocated to the various cores in a non-uniform way, the
reclaiming mechanism allows some tasks to reclaim more time than
others. This issue is visible starting 11 time-consuming tasks with
runtime 10ms and period 30ms (total utilization 3.666) on a 4-cores
system: some tasks will receive much more than the reserved runtime
(thanks to the reclaiming mechanism), while other tasks will receive
less than the reserved runtime.

That includes, but is not limited to, premature suspend-to-RAM aborts
on Dell XPS 13 (9343) reported by Dominik.
The issue the commit in question attempted to address is real and
will need to be taken care of going forward, but evidently more work

Commit fb9a307d11 ("bpf: Allow CGROUP_SKB eBPF program to
access sk_buff") enabled programs of BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB
type to use ld_abs/ind instructions. However, at this point,
we cannot use them, since offsets relative to SKF_LL_OFF will
end up pointing skb_mac_header(skb) out of bounds since in the
egress path it is not yet set at that point in time, but only
after __dev_queue_xmit() did a general reset on the mac header.
bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper() will then end up reading
data from a wrong offset.
BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB programs can use bpf_skb_load_bytes()
already to access packet data, which is also more flexible than
the insns carried over from cBPF.

A single BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD cmd is used to obtain the info
for both bpf_prog and bpf_map. The kernel can figure out the
fd is associated with a bpf_prog or bpf_map.
The suggested struct bpf_prog_info and struct bpf_map_info are
not meant to be a complete list and it is not the goal of this patch.
New fields can be added in the future patch.
The focus of this patch is to create the interface,
BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD cmd for exposing the bpf_prog's and
bpf_map's info.
The obj's info, which will be extended (and get bigger) over time, is
separated from the bpf_attr to avoid bloating the bpf_attr.

This patch generates an unique ID for each BPF_PROG_LOAD-ed prog.
It is worth to note that each BPF_PROG_LOAD-ed prog will have
a different ID even they have the same bpf instructions.
The ID is generated by the existing idr_alloc_cyclic().
The ID is ranged from [1, INT_MAX). It is allocated in cyclic manner,
so an ID will get reused every 2 billion BPF_PROG_LOAD.
The bpf_prog_alloc_id() is done after bpf_prog_select_runtime()
because the jit process may have allocated a new prog. Hence,
we need to ensure the value of pointer 'prog' will not be changed
any more before storing the prog to the prog_idr.
After bpf_prog_select_runtime(), the prog is read-only. Hence,
the id is stored in 'struct bpf_prog_aux'.

When the tick is stopped and we reach the dynticks evaluation code on
IRQ exit, we perform a soft tick restart if we observe an expired timer
from there. It means we program the nearest possible tick but we stay in
dynticks mode (ts->tick_stopped = 1) because we may need to stop the tick
again after that expired timer is handled.
Now this solution works most of the time but if we suffer an IRQ storm
and those interrupts trigger faster than the hardware clockevents min
delay, our tick won't fire until that IRQ storm is finished.
Here is the problem: on IRQ exit we reprog the timer to at least
NOW() + min_clockevents_delay. Another IRQ fires before the tick so we
reschedule again to NOW() + min_clockevents_delay, etc... The tick
is eternally rescheduled min_clockevents_delay ahead.
A solution is to simply remove this soft tick restart. After all
the normal dynticks evaluation path can handle 0 delay just fine. And
by doing that we benefit from the optimization branch which avoids
clock reprogramming if the clockevents deadline hasn't changed since
the last reprog. This fixes our issue because we don't do repetitive
clock reprog that always add hardware min delay.
As a side effect it should even optimize the 0 delay path in general.
