The "goto force_balance" here is intended to mitigate the fact that
avg_load calculations can result in bad placement decisions when
priority is asymmetrical.
The original commit that adds it:
fab476228b ("sched: Force balancing on newidle balance if local group has capacity")
explains:
Under certain situations, such as a niced down task (i.e. nice =
-15) in the presence of nr_cpus NICE0 tasks, the niced task lands
on a sched group and kicks away other tasks because of its large
weight. This leads to sub-optimal utilization of the
machine. Even though the sched group has capacity, it does not
pull tasks because sds.this_load >> sds.max_load, and f_b_g()
returns NULL.
A similar but inverted issue also affects ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU
capacity) systems - consider 8 always-running, same-priority tasks on a
system with 4 "big" and 4 "little" CPUs. Suppose that 5 of them end up on
the "big" CPUs (which will be represented by one sched_group in the DIE
sched_domain) and 3 on the "little" (the other sched_group in DIE), leaving
one CPU unused. Because the "big" group has a higher group_capacity its
avg_load may not present an imbalance that would cause migrating a
task to the idle "little".
The force_balance case here solves the problem but currently only for
CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balances, which in theory might never happen on the
unused CPU. Including CPU_IDLE in the force_balance case means
there's an upper bound on the time before we can attempt to solve the
underutilization: after DIE's sd->balance_interval has passed the
next nohz balance kick will help us out.

We use task_util() in find_idlest_group() via capacity_spare_wake().
This task_util() updated in wake_cap(). However wake_cap() is not the
only reason for ending up in find_idlest_group() - we could have been sent
there by wake_wide(). So explicitly sync the task util with prev_cpu
when we are about to head to find_idlest_group().
We could simply do this at the beginning of
select_task_rq_fair() (i.e. irrespective of whether we're heading to
select_idle_sibling() or find_idlest_group() & co), but I didn't want to
slow down the select_idle_sibling() path more than necessary.
Don't do this during fork balancing, we won't need the task_util and
we'd just clobber the last_update_time, which is supposed to be 0.

As a first step this patch makes cfs_tasks list as MRU one.
It means, that when a next task is picked to run on physical
CPU it is moved to the front of the list.
Therefore, the cfs_tasks list is more or less sorted (except
woken tasks) starting from recently given CPU time tasks toward
tasks with max wait time in a run-queue, i.e. MRU list.
Second, as part of the load balance operation, this approach
starts detach_tasks()/detach_one_task() from the tail of the
queue instead of the head, giving some advantages:
- tends to pick a task with highest wait time;
- tasks located in the tail are less likely cache-hot,
therefore the can_migrate_task() decision is higher.
hackbench illustrates slightly better performance. For example
doing 1000 samples and 40 groups on i5-3320M CPU, it shows below
figures:
default: 0.657 avg
patched: 0.646 avg

On AMD Family17h-based (EPYC) system, a logical NUMA node can contain
upto 8 cores (16 threads) with the following topology.
----------------------------
C0 | T0 T1 | || | T0 T1 | C4
--------| || |--------
C1 | T0 T1 | L3 || L3 | T0 T1 | C5
--------| || |--------
C2 | T0 T1 | #0 || #1 | T0 T1 | C6
--------| || |--------
C3 | T0 T1 | || | T0 T1 | C7
----------------------------
Here, there are 2 last-level (L3) caches per logical NUMA node.
A socket can contain upto 4 NUMA nodes, and a system can support
upto 2 sockets. With full system configuration, current scheduler
creates 4 sched domains:
domain0 SMT (span a core)
domain1 MC (span a last-level-cache)
domain2 NUMA (span a socket: 4 nodes)
domain3 NUMA (span a system: 8 nodes)
Note that there is no domain to represent cpus spaning a logical
NUMA node. With this hierarchy of sched domains, the scheduler does
not balance properly in the following cases:
Case1:
When running 8 tasks, a properly balanced system should
schedule a task per logical NUMA node. This is not the case for
the current scheduler.
Case2:
In some cases, threads are scheduled on the same cpu, while other
cpus are idle. This results in run-to-run inconsistency. For example:
taskset -c 0-7 sysbench --num-threads=8 --test=cpu \
--cpu-max-prime=100000 run
Total execution time ranges from 25.1s to 33.5s depending on threads
placement, where 25.1s is when all 8 threads are balanced properly
on 8 cpus.
Introducing NUMA identity node sched domain, which is based on how
SRAT/SLIT table define a logical NUMA node. This results in the following
hierarchy of sched domains on the same system described above.
domain0 SMT (span a core)
domain1 MC (span a last-level-cache)
domain2 NODE (span a logical NUMA node)
domain3 NUMA (span a socket: 4 nodes)
domain4 NUMA (span a system: 8 nodes)
This fixes the improper load balancing cases mentioned above.

The normal x86_topology on NHM+ machines degenerates because the MC
and CPU domains are of the same size, therefore MC inherits
SD_PREFER_SIBLING from CPU (which then gets taken out). The result is
that we'll spread tasks across the first NUMA level in order to
maximize cache utilization.
However, for the x86_numa_in_package_topology we loose the CPU domain,
and we'll not have SD_PREFER_SIBLING set anywhere, giving a distinct
difference in behaviour.
Commit:
8e7fbcbc22 ("sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs")
made a fail by not preserving the SD_PREFER_SIBLING for the !power_saving
case on both CPU and MC.
Then commit:
6956dc568f ("sched/numa: Add SD_PERFER_SIBLING to CPU domain")
adds it back to the CPU but not MC.
Restore that now, such that we get consistent spreading behaviour wrt
L3 and NUMA.

Fix a bug introduced in:
72f9f3fdc9 ("sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity")
After that commit, when switching to -deadline if the scheduling
deadline of a task is in the past then switched_to_dl() calls
setup_new_entity() to properly initialize the scheduling deadline
and runtime.
The problem is that the task is enqueued _before_ having its parameters
initialized by setup_new_entity(), and this can cause problems.
For example, a task with its out-of-date deadline in the past will
potentially be enqueued as the highest priority one; however, its
adjusted deadline may not be the earliest one.
This patch fixes the problem by initializing the task's parameters before
enqueuing it.

This patch takes out all the shiny wake_affine() stuff and goes back to
utter basics. Between the two CPUs involved with the wakeup (the CPU
doing the wakeup and the CPU we ran on previously) pick the CPU we can
run on _now_.
This restores much of the regressions against the older kernels,
but leaves some ground in the overloaded case. The default-enabled
WA_WEIGHT (which will be introduced in the next patch) is an attempt
to address the overloaded situation.

Since commit:
1fd7e41699 ("perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu")
... when a PMU is unregistered then its associated ->pmu_cpu_context is
unconditionally freed. Whilst this is fine for dynamically allocated
context types (i.e. those registered using perf_invalid_context), this
causes a problem for sharing of static contexts such as
perf_{sw,hw}_context, which are used by multiple built-in PMUs and
effectively have a global lifetime.
Whilst testing the ARM SPE driver, which must use perf_sw_context to
support per-task AUX tracing, unregistering the driver as a result of a
module unload resulted in:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000038
Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

since the software context has been freed and the ctx.pmu->pmu_disable_count
field has been set to NULL.
This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the freeing of static PMU contexts
altogether. Whilst the sharing of dynamic contexts is questionable, this
actually requires the caller to share their context pointer explicitly
and so the burden is on them to manage the object lifetime.

There is some complication between check_prevs_add() and
check_prev_add() wrt. saving stack traces. The problem is that we want
to be frugal with saving stack traces, since it consumes static
resources.
We'll only know in check_prev_add() if we need the trace, but we can
call into it multiple times. So we want to do on-demand and re-use.
A further complication is that check_prev_add() can drop graph_lock
and mess with our static resources.
In any case, the current state; after commit:
ce07a9415f ("locking/lockdep: Make check_prev_add() able to handle external stack_trace")
is that we'll assume the trace contains valid data once
check_prev_add() returns '2'. However, as noted by Josh, this is
false, check_prev_add() can return '2' before having saved a trace,
this then result in the possibility of using uninitialized data.
Testing, as reported by Wu, shows a NULL deref.
So simplify.
Since the graph_lock() thing is a debug path that hasn't
really been used in a long while, take it out back and avoid the
head-ache.
Further initialize the stack_trace to a known 'empty' state; as long
as nr_entries == 0, nothing should deref entries. We can then use the
'entries == NULL' test for a valid trace / on-demand saving.

Right now, rcutorture warns if an rcu_torture_writer() kthread stalls,
but this warning is not always all that helpful. This commit therefore
makes the first such warning include a stack dump.
This in turn requires that sched_show_task() be exported to GPL modules,
so this commit makes that change as well.

When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter,
it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally
generate an RCU CPU stall warning message. However, there are test
scenarios that need the stalling CPU to have interrupts disabled.
This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel
boot parameter that causes the stalling CPU to disable interrupts.

the stalled CPUs have interrupts disabled?" However, the current
stall warnings are silent on this point. This commit therefore
uses irq_work to check whether stalled CPUs still respond to IPIs,
and flags this state in the RCU CPU stall warning console messages.

There is some confusion as to which of cond_resched() or
cond_resched_rcu_qs() should be added to long in-kernel loops.
This commit therefore eliminates the decision by adding RCU quiescent
states to cond_resched(). This commit also simplifies the code that
used to interact with cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and that now interacts with
cond_resched(), to reduce its overhead. This reduction is necessary to
allow the heavier-weight cond_resched_rcu_qs() mechanism to be invoked
everywhere that cond_resched() is invoked.
Part of that reduction in overhead converts the jiffies_till_sched_qs
kernel parameter to read-only at runtime, thus eliminating the need for
bounds checking.

[ paulmck: Keep PREEMPT=n cond_resched a no-op, per Peter Zijlstra. ]
The current implementation of synchronize_sched_expedited() incorrectly
assumes that resched_cpu() is unconditional, which it is not. This means
that synchronize_sched_expedited() can hang when resched_cpu()'s trylock
fails as follows (analysis by Neeraj Upadhyay):
o CPU1 is waiting for expedited wait to complete:
sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus
rdp->exp_dynticks_snap & 0x1 // returns 1 for CPU5
IPI sent to CPU5
synchronize_sched_expedited_wait
ret = swait_event_timeout(rsp->expedited_wq,
sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done(rnp_root),
jiffies_stall);
expmask = 0x20, CPU 5 in idle path (in cpuidle_enter())
o CPU5 handles IPI and fails to acquire rq lock.
Handles IPI
sync_sched_exp_handler
resched_cpu
returns while failing to try lock acquire rq->lock
need_resched is not set
o CPU5 calls rcu_idle_enter() and as need_resched is not set, goes to
idle (schedule() is not called).
o CPU 1 reports RCU stall.
Given that resched_cpu() is now used only by RCU, this commit fixes the
assumption by making resched_cpu() unconditional.

Currently the call_rcu_tasks() kthread is created upon first
invocation of call_rcu_tasks(). This has the advantage of avoiding
creation if there are never any invocations of call_rcu_tasks() and of
synchronize_rcu_tasks(), but it requires an unreliable heuristic to
determine when it is safe to create the kthread. For example, it is
not safe to create the kthread when call_rcu_tasks() is invoked with
a spinlock held, but there is no good way to detect this in !PREEMPT
kernels.
This commit therefore creates this kthread unconditionally at
core_initcall() time. If you don't want this kthread created, then

Commit 2c16d60332 ("netfilter: xt_bpf: support ebpf") introduced
support for attaching an eBPF object by an fd, with the
'bpf_mt_check_v1' ABI expecting the '.fd' to be specified upon each
IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE call.
However this breaks subsequent iptables calls:
# iptables -A INPUT -m bpf --object-pinned /sys/fs/bpf/xxx -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -s 5.6.7.8 -j ACCEPT
iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.
That's because iptables works by loading existing rules using
IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES to userspace, then issuing IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE with
the replacement set.
However, the loaded 'xt_bpf_info_v1' has an arbitrary '.fd' number
(from the initial "iptables -m bpf" invocation) - so when 2nd invocation
occurs, userspace passes a bogus fd number, which leads to
'bpf_mt_check_v1' to fail.
One suggested solution [1] was to hack iptables userspace, to perform a
"entries fixup" immediatley after IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES, by opening a new,
process-local fd per every 'xt_bpf_info_v1' entry seen.
However, in [2] both Pablo Neira Ayuso and Willem de Bruijn suggested to
depricate the xt_bpf_info_v1 ABI dealing with pinned ebpf objects.
This fix changes the XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED behavior to ignore the given
'.fd' and instead perform an in-kernel lookup for the bpf object given
the provided '.path'.
It also defines an alias for the XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED mode, named
XT_BPF_MODE_PATH_PINNED, to better reflect the fact that the user is
expected to provide the path of the pinned object.
Existing XT_BPF_MODE_FD_ELF behavior (non-pinned fd mode) is preserved.

Managed interrupts can end up in a stale state on CPU hotplug. If the
interrupt is not targeting a single CPU, i.e. the affinity mask spawns
multiple CPUs then the following can happen:
After boot:
dstate: 0x01601200
IRQD_ACTIVATED
IRQD_IRQ_STARTED
IRQD_SINGLE_TARGET
IRQD_AFFINITY_SET
IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED
node: 0
affinity: 24-31
effectiv: 24
pending: 0
After offlining CPU 31 - 24
dstate: 0x01a31000
IRQD_IRQ_DISABLED
IRQD_IRQ_MASKED
IRQD_SINGLE_TARGET
IRQD_AFFINITY_SET
IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED
IRQD_MANAGED_SHUTDOWN
node: 0
affinity: 24-31
effectiv: 24
pending: 0
Now CPU 25 gets onlined again, so it should get the effective interrupt
affinity for this interruopt, but due to the x86 interrupt affinity setter
restrictions this ends up after restarting the interrupt with:
dstate: 0x01601300
IRQD_ACTIVATED
IRQD_IRQ_STARTED
IRQD_SINGLE_TARGET
IRQD_AFFINITY_SET
IRQD_SETAFFINITY_PENDING
IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED
node: 0
affinity: 24-31
effectiv: 24
pending: 24-31
So the interrupt is still affine to CPU 24, which was the last CPU to go
offline of that affinity set and the move to an online CPU within 24-31,
in this case 25, is pending. This mechanism is x86/ia64 specific as those
architectures cannot move interrupts from thread context and do this when
an interrupt is actually handled. So the move is set to pending.
Whats worse is that offlining CPU 25 again results in:
dstate: 0x01601300
IRQD_ACTIVATED
IRQD_IRQ_STARTED
IRQD_SINGLE_TARGET
IRQD_AFFINITY_SET
IRQD_SETAFFINITY_PENDING
IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED
node: 0
affinity: 24-31
effectiv: 24
pending: 24-31
This means the interrupt has not been shut down, because the outgoing CPU
is not in the effective affinity mask, but of course nothing notices that
the effective affinity mask is pointing at an offline CPU.
In the case of restarting a managed interrupt the move restriction does not
apply, so the affinity setting can be made unconditional. This needs to be
done _before_ the interrupt is started up as otherwise the condition for
moving it from thread context would not longer be fulfilled.
With that change applied onlining CPU 25 after offlining 31-24 results in:
dstate: 0x01600200
IRQD_ACTIVATED
IRQD_IRQ_STARTED
IRQD_SINGLE_TARGET
IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED
node: 0
affinity: 24-31
effectiv: 25
pending:
And after offlining CPU 25:
dstate: 0x01a30000
IRQD_IRQ_DISABLED
IRQD_IRQ_MASKED
IRQD_SINGLE_TARGET
IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED
IRQD_MANAGED_SHUTDOWN
node: 0
affinity: 24-31
effectiv: 25
pending:
which is the correct and expected result.

while processing Rx = Ry instruction the verifier does
regs[insn->dst_reg] = regs[insn->src_reg]
which often clears write mark (when Ry doesn't have it)
that was just set by check_reg_arg(Rx) prior to the assignment.
That causes mark_reg_read() to keep marking Rx in this block as
REG_LIVE_READ (since the logic incorrectly misses that it's
screened by the write) and in many of its parents (until lucky
write into the same Rx or beginning of the program).
That causes is_state_visited() logic to miss many pruning opportunities.
Furthermore mark_reg_read() logic propagates the read mark
for BPF_REG_FP as well (though it's readonly) which causes
harmless but unnecssary work during is_state_visited().
Note that do_propagate_liveness() skips FP correctly,
so do the same in mark_reg_read() as well.

This patch adds helper bpf_perf_prog_read_cvalue for perf event based bpf
programs, to read event counter and enabled/running time.
The enabled/running time is accumulated since the perf event open.
The typical use case for perf event based bpf program is to attach itself
to a single event. In such cases, if it is desirable to get scaling factor
between two bpf invocations, users can can save the time values in a map,
and use the value from the map and the current value to calculate

Hardware pmu counters are limited resources. When there are more
pmu based perf events opened than available counters, kernel will
multiplex these events so each event gets certain percentage
(but not 100%) of the pmu time. In case that multiplexing happens,
the number of samples or counter value will not reflect the
case compared to no multiplexing. This makes comparison between
different runs difficult.
Typically, the number of samples or counter value should be
normalized before comparing to other experiments. The typical
normalization is done like:
normalized_num_samples = num_samples * time_enabled / time_running
normalized_counter_value = counter_value * time_enabled / time_running
where time_enabled is the time enabled for event and time_running is
the time running for event since last normalization.
This patch adds helper bpf_perf_event_read_value for kprobed based perf
event array map, to read perf counter and enabled/running time.
The enabled/running time is accumulated since the perf event open.
To achieve scaling factor between two bpf invocations, users
can can use cpu_id as the key (which is typical for perf array usage model)
to remember the previous value and do the calculation inside the
bpf program.

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.
The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:
1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken
3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
solution would be easy to backport.
4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
surprise which we discussed recently.
Changes vs. V1:
- Addressed your review points
- Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late
- Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.
- Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.
The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested
and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc"

If a module is loaded while tracing is enabled, then there's a possibility
that the module init functions were traced. These functions have their name
and address stored by ftrace such that it can translate the function address
that is written into the buffer into a human readable function name.
As userspace tools may be doing the same, they need a way to map function
names to their address as well. This is done through reading /proc/kallsyms.
