Gaurav reported a perceived problem with TASK_PARKED, which turned out
to be a broken wait-loop pattern in __kthread_parkme(), but the
reported issue can (and does) in fact happen for states that do not do
condition based sleeps.
When the 'current->state = TASK_RUNNING' store of a previous
(concurrent) try_to_wake_up() collides with the setting of a 'special'
sleep state, we can loose the sleep state.
Normal condition based wait-loops are immune to this problem, but for
sleep states that are not condition based are subject to this problem.
There already is a fix for TASK_DEAD. Abstract that and also apply it
to TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED, both of which are also without
condition based wait-loop.

Even with the wait-loop fixed, there is a further issue with
kthread_parkme(). Upon hotplug, when we do takedown_cpu(),
smpboot_park_threads() can return before all those threads are in fact
blocked, due to the placement of the complete() in __kthread_parkme().
When that happens, sched_cpu_dying() -> migrate_tasks() can end up
migrating such a still runnable task onto another CPU.
Normally the task will have hit schedule() and gone to sleep by the
time we do kthread_unpark(), which will then do __kthread_bind() to
re-bind the task to the correct CPU.
However, when we loose the initial TASK_PARKED store to the concurrent
wakeup issue described previously, do the complete(), get migrated, it
is possible to either:
- observe kthread_unpark()'s clearing of SHOULD_PARK and terminate
the park and set TASK_RUNNING, or
- __kthread_bind()'s wait_task_inactive() to observe the competing
TASK_RUNNING store.
Either way the WARN() in __kthread_bind() will trigger and fail to
correctly set the CPU affinity.
Fix this by only issuing the complete() when the kthread has scheduled
out. This does away with all the icky 'still running' nonsense.
The alternative is to promote TASK_PARKED to a special state, this
guarantees wait_task_inactive() cannot observe a 'stale' TASK_RUNNING
and we'll end up doing the right thing, but this preserves the whole
icky business of potentially migating the still runnable thing.

KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then
continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results. This is
likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far
the culprit remains elusive.
Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current
task, similar to the existing check for init_mm. This way, we can catch
this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN.
Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to
init_mm. This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we
must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.
The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now
outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a
housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick()
implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely
as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter
and don't seem to be accessed locally.
Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to
affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation
"isolcpus=nohz,domain".

Mark noticed that he had sporadic "spinlock recursion" warnings from
the DEBUG_SPINLOCK code. Now rq->lock is special in that the owner
changes in the middle of a context switch.
It so happens that we fix up the lock.owner too late, @prev can run
(remotely) the moment prev->on_cpu is cleared, this then allows @prev
to again try and acquire this rq->lock and trigger this warning.
So we have to switch lock.owner before clearing prev->on_cpu.
Do this by moving the DEBUG_SPINLOCK annotation from after switch_to()
to before switch_to() and collect all lockdep annotations there into
prepare_lock_switch() to mirror the existing finish_lock_switch().

("sched: Implement interface for cgroup unified hierarchy") forgot to
update input validation and left it to reject cpu.max config if any
descendant has set a higher value.
cgroup2 officially supports delegation and a descendant must not be
able to restrict what its ancestors can configure. For absolute
limits such as cpu.max and memory.max, this means that the config at
each level should only act as the upper limit at that level and
shouldn't interfere with what other cgroups can configure.
This patch updates config validation on cgroup2 so that the cpu

The select_idle_sibling() (SIS) rewrite in commit:
10e2f1acd0 ("sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()")
... replaced a domain iteration with a search that broadly speaking
does a wrapped walk of the scheduler domain sharing a last-level-cache.
While this had a number of improvements, one consequence is that two tasks
that share a waker/wakee relationship push each other around a socket. Even
though two tasks may be active, all cores are evenly used. This is great from
a search perspective and spreads a load across individual cores, but it has
adverse consequences for cpufreq. As each CPU has relatively low utilisation,
cpufreq may decide the utilisation is too low to used a higher P-state and
overall computation throughput suffers.
While individual cpufreq and cpuidle drivers may compensate by artifically
boosting P-state (at c0) or avoiding lower C-states (during idle), it does
not help if hardware-based cpufreq (e.g. HWP) is used.
This patch tracks a recently used CPU based on what CPU a task was running
on when it last was a waker a CPU it was recently using when a task is a
wakee. During SIS, the recently used CPU is used as a target if it's still
allowed by the task and is idle.
The benefit may be non-obvious so consider an example of two tasks
communicating back and forth. Task A may be an application doing IO where
task B is a kworker or kthread like journald. Task A may issue IO, wake
B and B wakes up A on completion. With the existing scheme this may look
like the following (potentially different IDs if SMT is in use but similar
principal applies).
A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1)
B (cpu 1) wake A (wakes on cpu 2)
A (cpu 2) wake B (wakes on cpu 3)
etc.
A careful reader may wonder why CPU 0 was not idle when B wakes A the
first time and it's simply due to the fact that A can be rescheduled to
another CPU and the pattern is that prev == target when B tries to wakeup A
and the information about CPU 0 has been lost.
With this patch, the pattern is more likely to be:
A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1)
B (cpu 1) wake A (wakes on cpu 0)
A (cpu 0) wake B (wakes on cpu 1)
etc
i.e. two communicating casts are more likely to use just two cores instead
of all available cores sharing a LLC.
The most dramatic speedup was noticed on dbench using the XFS filesystem on
UMA as clients interact heavily with workqueues in that configuration. Note
that a similar speedup is not observed on ext4 as the wakeup pattern
is different:
4.15.0-rc9 4.15.0-rc9
waprev-v1 biasancestor-v1
Hmean 1 287.54 ( 0.00%) 817.01 ( 184.14%)
Hmean 2 1268.12 ( 0.00%) 1781.24 ( 40.46%)
Hmean 4 1739.68 ( 0.00%) 1594.47 ( -8.35%)
Hmean 8 2464.12 ( 0.00%) 2479.56 ( 0.63%)
Hmean 64 1455.57 ( 0.00%) 1434.68 ( -1.44%)
The results can be less dramatic on NUMA where automatic balancing interferes
with the test. It's also known that network benchmarks running on localhost
also benefit quite a bit from this patch (roughly 10% on netperf RR for UDP
and TCP depending on the machine). Hackbench also seens small improvements
(6-11% depending on machine and thread count). The facebook schbench was also
tested but in most cases showed little or no different to wakeup latencies.

Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim
by JIT.
Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
going back to user-space). They should then select
ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
their architecture.
Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that
they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space,
or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

Document the membarrier requirement on having a full memory barrier in
__schedule() after coming from user-space, before storing to rq->curr.
It is provided by smp_mb__after_spinlock() in __schedule().
Document that membarrier requires a full barrier on transition from
kernel thread to userspace thread. We currently have an implicit barrier
from atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop() that ensures this.
The x86 switch_mm_irqs_off() full barrier is currently provided by many
cpumask update operations as well as write_cr3(). Document that
write_cr3() provides this barrier.

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.
Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:
It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.
It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.
Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

Before commit:
e33a9bba85 ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler")
delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which
completed I/O.
This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting
for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue.
With e33a9bba85, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up().
In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that
the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.
But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet
context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the
wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated.
Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(),
so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.

This splat cannot be generated by expedited grace periods because they
always invoke resched_cpu() on the current CPU, which is good because
expedited grace periods require that resched_cpu() unconditionally
succeed. However, other parts of RCU can tolerate resched_cpu() acting
as a no-op, at least as long as it doesn't happen too often.
This commit therefore makes resched_cpu() invoke resched_curr() only if
the CPU is either online or is the current CPU.

When the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG support, we expect that
all SCHED_FEAT are turned into compile time constants being propagated
to support compiler optimizations.
Specifically, we expect that code blocks like this:
if (sched_feat(FEATURE_NAME) [&& <other_conditions>]) {
/* FEATURE CODE */
}
are turned into dead-code in case FEATURE_NAME defaults to FALSE, and thus
being removed by the compiler from the finale image.
For this mechanism to properly work it's required for the compiler to
have full access, from each translation unit, to whatever is the value
defined by the sched_feat macro. This macro is defined as:
#define sched_feat(x) (sysctl_sched_features & (1UL << __SCHED_FEAT_##x))
and thus, the compiler can optimize that code only if the value of
sysctl_sched_features is visible within each translation unit.
Since:
029632fbb ("sched: Make separate sched*.c translation units")
the scheduler code has been split into separate translation units
however the definition of sysctl_sched_features is part of
kernel/sched/core.c while, for all the other scheduler modules, it is
visible only via kernel/sched/sched.h as an:
extern const_debug unsigned int sysctl_sched_features
Unfortunately, an extern reference does not allow the compiler to apply
constants propagation. Thus, on !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel we still end up
with code to load a memory reference and (eventually) doing an unconditional
jump of a chunk of code.
This mechanism is unavoidable when sched_features can be turned on and off at
run-time. However, this is not the case for "production" kernels compiled with
!CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. In this case, sysctl_sched_features is just a constant value
which cannot be changed at run-time and thus memory loads and jumps can be
avoided altogether.
This patch fixes the case of !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel by declaring a local version
of the sysctl_sched_features constant for each translation unit. This will
ultimately allow the compiler to perform constants propagation and dead-code
pruning.
Tests have been done, with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG on a v4.14-rc8 with and without
the patch, by running 30 iterations of:
perf bench sched messaging --pipe --thread --group 4 --loop 50000
on a 40 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz using the
powersave governor to rule out variations due to frequency scaling.

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation
features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL
without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler
isolation without NOHZ_FULL.
So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of
overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.

The housekeeping code is currently tied to the NOHZ code. As we are
planning to make housekeeping independent from it, start with moving
the relevant code to its own file.

The basic cpu stat is currently shown with "cpu." prefix in
cgroup.stat, and the same information is duplicated in cpu.stat when
cpu controller is enabled. This is ugly and not very scalable as we
want to expand the coverage of stat information which is always
available.
This patch makes cgroup core always create "cpu.stat" file and show
the basic cpu stat there and calls the cpu controller to show the
extra stats when enabled. This ensures that the same information
isn't presented in multiple places and makes future expansion of basic
stats easier.

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.
