Otherwise this logic only works if mode is "compatible" with another
exclusive waiter.
If some wq has both TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters,
abort_exclusive_wait() won't wait an uninterruptible waiter.
The main user is __wait_on_bit_lock() and currently it is fine but only
because TASK_KILLABLE includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and we do not have
lock_page_interruptible() yet.
Just use TASK_NORMAL and remove the "mode" arg from abort_exclusive_wait().
Yes, this means that (say) wake_up_interruptible() can wake up the non-
interruptible waiter(s), but I think this is fine. And in fact I think
that abort_exclusive_wait() must die, see the next change.

Since commit:
2159197d66 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")
we now have two different fixed point units for load:
- 'shares' in calc_cfs_shares() has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit
kernels. Therefore use scale_load() on MIN_SHARES.
- 'wl' in effective_load() has 10 bit fixed point unit. Therefore use
scale_load_down() on tg->shares which has 20 bit fixed point unit on
64-bit kernels.

Current code can call set_cpu_sibling_map() and invoke sched_set_topology()
more than once (e.g. on CPU hot plug). When this happens after
sched_init_smp() has been called, we lose the NUMA topology extension to
sched_domain_topology in sched_init_numa(). This results in incorrect
topology when the sched domain is rebuilt.
This patch fixes the bug and issues warning if we call sched_set_topology()
after sched_init_smp().

On the v2 hierarchy, "cgroup.subtree_control" rejects controller
enables if the cgroup has processes in it. The enforcement of this
logic assumes that the cgroup wouldn't have any css_sets associated
with it if there are no tasks in the cgroup, which is no longer true
since a79a908fd2 ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces").
When a cgroup namespace is created, it pins the css_set of the
creating task to use it as the root css_set of the namespace. This
extra reference stays as long as the namespace is around and makes
"cgroup.subtree_control" think that the namespace root cgroup is not
empty even when it is and thus reject controller enables.
Fix it by making cgroup_subtree_control() walk and test emptiness of
each css_set instead of testing whether the list_head is empty.
While at it, update the comment of cgroup_task_count() to indicate
that the returned value may be higher than the number of tasks, which
has always been true due to temporary references and doesn't break
anything.

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime).
It makes use of a per-CPU hrtimer resource and hence arming that
hrtimer should be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its
various cfs_rqs, rather than being based on number of tasks in a
particular cfs_rq (as implemented currently).
As a result, with current code, its possible for a running task (which
is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted much after its
ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency for tasks in
other cfs_rq on same CPU.
Fix this by arming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.

An "exclusive" PMU is the one that can only have one event scheduled in
at any given time. There may be more than one of such PMUs in a system,
though, like Intel PT and BTS. It should be allowed to have one event
for either of those inside the same context (there may be other constraints
that may prevent this, but those would be hardware-specific). However,
the exclusivity code is written so that only one event from any of the
"exclusive" PMUs is allowed in a context.
Fix this by making the exclusive event filter explicitly match two events'
PMUs.

Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD
context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in
__schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from
schedule().
In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we
place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule().
Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no
coming back from do_exit().

A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus
mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of
effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing
prevents the system from more hotplug operations. For that reason
guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds
an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus
mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring.
However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which
none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with
cpu_online_mask.
For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online:
======================== ===========================
cpu_online_mask top_cpuset.effective_cpus
======================== ===========================
echo 1 > cpu2/online.
CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled.
[0,2] [0]
echo 0 > cpu0/online.
The workqueue is still runnable.
[2] [0]
======================== ===========================
Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
top_cpuset.effective_cpus. Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
this moment can cause following:

In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are
writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can
safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped,
we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped.
However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction
and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction
will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets
scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an
event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being
used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close()
path and cause a memory corruption.
To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated;
this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area
of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will
be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the
old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this
ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't
start any more.

track_pfn_insert() in vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() is marking dax mappings as
uncacheable rendering them impractical for application usage. DAX-pte
mappings are cached and the goal of establishing DAX-pmd mappings is to
attain more performance, not dramatically less (3 orders of magnitude).
track_pfn_insert() relies on a previous call to reserve_memtype() to
establish the expected page_cache_mode for the range. While memremap()
arranges for reserve_memtype() to be called, devm_memremap_pages() does
not. So, teach track_pfn_insert() and untrack_pfn() how to handle
tracking without a vma, and arrange for devm_memremap_pages() to
establish the write-back-cache reservation in the memtype tree.

The schedstat_val() macro's behavior is kind of surprising: when

There's also a need for a similar macro which doesn't have the 'if

new 'schedstat_val()' macro for that.

The schedstat_*() macros are inconsistent: most of them take a pointer
and a field which the macro combines, whereas schedstat_set() takes the
already combined ptr->field.
The already combined ptr->field argument is actually more intuitive and
easier to use, and there's no reason to require the user to split the
variable up, so convert the macros to use the combined argument.

The dl task will be replenished after dl task timer fire and start a
new period. It will be enqueued and to re-evaluate its dependency on
the tick in order to restart it. However, if the CPU is hot-unplugged,
irq_work_queue will splash since the target CPU is offline.
As a result we get:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/irq_work.c:69 irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0x99/0xd0

? push_dl_task.part.31+0x190/0x190
This can be triggered by hot-unplugging the full dynticks CPU which dl
task is running on.
We enqueue the dl task on the offline CPU, because we need to do
replenish for start_dl_timer(). So, as Juri pointed out, we would
need to do is calling replenish_dl_entity() directly, instead of
enqueue_task_dl(). pi_se shouldn't be a problem as the task shouldn't
be boosted if it was throttled.
This patch fixes it by avoiding the whole enqueue+dequeue+enqueue story, by
first migrating (set_task_cpu()) and then doing 1 enqueue.

we now have two different fixed point units for load.
load_above_capacity has to have 10 bits fixed point unit like PELT,
whereas NICE_0_LOAD has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit kernels.
Fix this by scaling down NICE_0_LOAD when multiplying
load_above_capacity with it.

This change goes from heapify() ops done by swapping with parent/child
so that the item to fix moves along, to heapify() ops done by just
pulling the parent/child chain by 1 pos, then storing the item to fix
just at the end. On a non-trivial heapify(), this performs roughly half
stores wrt swaps.
This has been measured to achieve up to 10% of speed-up for cpudl_set()
calls, with a randomly generated workload of 1K,10K,100K random heap
insertions and deletions (75% cpudl_set() calls with is_valid=1 and
25% with is_valid=0), and randomly generated cpu IDs, with up to 256
CPUs, as measured on an Intel Core2 Duo.

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and
the check for task->on_rq.
The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:
do {
schedule()
set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
} while (!cond);
The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax();
Analysis:
The instance I've seen involves the following race:
CPU1 CPU2
while () {
if (cond)
break;
do {
schedule();
set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
} while (!cond);
wakeup_routine()
spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process()
} try_to_wake_up()
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); ..
list_del(&waiter.list);
CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:
CPU3
wakeup_routine()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
if (!list_empty)
wake_up_process()
try_to_wake_up()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock)
..
if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup())
..
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax()
..
CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.
CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.
The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely
Reproduction of the issue:
The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.
Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

The idle and iowait states are weird 0 for cpu0(housekeeping).
The bug is present in both guest and host kernels, and they both have
cpu0's idle and iowait states issue, however, host kernel's suspend/resume
path etc will touch watchdog to avoid the softlockup.
- The watchdog will not be touched in tick_nohz_stop_idle path (need be
touched since the scheduler stall is expected) if idle_active flags are
not detected.
- The idle and iowait states will not be accounted when exit idle loop
(resched or interrupt) if idle start time and idle_active flags are
not set.
This patch fixes it by reverting commit 1f3b0f8243 since can't stop
idle tick doesn't mean can't be idle.

Commit fec1d01152 ("[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal
exit") has caused a subtle regression in nscd which uses
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID to clear the nscd_certainly_running flag in the
shared databases, so that the clients are notified when nscd is
restarted. Now, when nscd uses a non-persistent database, clients that
have it mapped keep thinking the database is being updated by nscd, when
in fact nscd has created a new (anonymous) one (for non-persistent
databases it uses an unlinked file as backend).
The original proposal for the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID change claimed
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/25/233):
: The NPTL library uses the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag on clone() syscalls
: on behalf of pthread_create() library calls. This feature is used to
: request that the kernel clear the thread-id in user space (at an address
: provided in the syscall) when the thread disassociates itself from the
: address space, which is done in mm_release().
:
: Unfortunately, when a multi-threaded process incurs a core dump (such as
: from a SIGSEGV), the core-dumping thread sends SIGKILL signals to all of
: the other threads, which then proceed to clear their user-space tids
: before synchronizing in exit_mm() with the start of core dumping. This
: misrepresents the state of process's address space at the time of the
: SIGSEGV and makes it more difficult for someone to debug NPTL and glibc
: problems (misleading him/her to conclude that the threads had gone away
: before the fault).
:
: The fix below is to simply avoid the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID action if a
: core dump has been initiated.
The resulting patch from Roland (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/26/269)
seems to have a larger scope than the original patch asked for. It
seems that limitting the scope of the check to core dumping should work
for SIGSEGV issue describe above.
