sched: Teach the forced-newidle balancer about CPU affinity limitation.

2022-04-13T18:03:26Z

commit 386ef214c3c6ab111d05e1790e79475363abaa05 upstream. try_steal_cookie() looks at task_struct::cpus_mask to decide if the task could be moved to `this' CPU. It ignores that the task might be in a migration disabled section while not on the CPU. In this case the task must not be moved otherwise per-CPU assumption are broken. Use is_cpu_allowed(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, to decide if the a task can be moved.

sched: Fix yet more sched_fork() races

2022-03-08T18:14:13Z

commit b1e8206582f9d680cff7d04828708c8b6ab32957 upstream. Where commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group") fixed a fork race vs cgroup, it opened up a race vs syscalls by not placing the task on the runqueue before it gets exposed through the pidhash. Commit 13765de8148f ("sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity") is trying to fix a single instance of this, instead fix the whole class of issues, effectively reverting this commit.

sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity

2022-03-08T18:14:05Z

[ Upstream commit 13765de8148f71fa795e0a6607de37c49ea5915a ] Syzbot found a GPF in reweight_entity. This has been bisected to commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group") There is a race between sched_post_fork() and setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) within a thread group that causes a null-ptr-deref in reweight_entity() in CFS. The scenario is that the main process spawns number of new threads, which then call setpriority(PRIO_PGRP, 0, -20), wait, and exit. For each of the new threads the copy_process() gets invoked, which adds the new task_struct and calls sched_post_fork() for it. In the above scenario there is a possibility that setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) and set_one_prio() will be called for a thread in the group that is just being created by copy_process(), and for which the sched_post_fork() has not been executed yet. This will trigger a null pointer dereference in reweight_entity(), as it will try to access the run queue pointer, which hasn't been set. Before the mentioned change the cfs_rq pointer for the task has been set in sched_fork(), which is called much earlier in copy_process(), before the new task is added to the thread_group. Now it is done in the sched_post_fork(), which is called after that. To fix the issue the remove the update_load param from the update_load param() function and call reweight_task() only if the task flag doesn't have the TASK_NEW flag set.

sched/uclamp: Fix rq->uclamp_max not set on first enqueue

2021-12-04T09:56:18Z

Commit d81ae8aac85c ("sched/uclamp: Fix initialization of struct uclamp_rq") introduced a bug where uclamp_max of the rq is not reset to match the woken up task's uclamp_max when the rq is idle. The code was relying on rq->uclamp_max initialized to zero, so on first enqueue static inline void uclamp_rq_inc_id(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, enum uclamp_id clamp_id) { ... if (uc_se->value > READ_ONCE(uc_rq->value)) WRITE_ONCE(uc_rq->value, uc_se->value); } was actually resetting it. But since commit d81ae8aac85c changed the default to 1024, this no longer works. And since rq->uclamp_flags is also initialized to 0, neither above code path nor uclamp_idle_reset() update the rq->uclamp_max on first wake up from idle. This is only visible from first wake up(s) until the first dequeue to idle after enabling the static key. And it only matters if the uclamp_max of this task is < 1024 since only then its uclamp_max will be effectively ignored. Fix it by properly initializing rq->uclamp_flags = UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE to ensure uclamp_idle_reset() is called which then will update the rq uclamp_max value as expected.

sched/scs: Reset task stack state in bringup_cpu()

2021-11-24T11:20:27Z

To hot unplug a CPU, the idle task on that CPU calls a few layers of C code before finally leaving the kernel. When KASAN is in use, poisoned shadow is left around for each of the active stack frames, and when shadow call stacks are in use. When shadow call stacks (SCS) are in use the task's saved SCS SP is left pointing at an arbitrary point within the task's shadow call stack. When a CPU is offlined than onlined back into the kernel, this stale state can adversely affect execution. Stale KASAN shadow can alias new stackframes and result in bogus KASAN warnings. A stale SCS SP is effectively a memory leak, and prevents a portion of the shadow call stack being used. Across a number of hotplug cycles the idle task's entire shadow call stack can become unusable. We previously fixed the KASAN issue in commit: e1b77c92981a5222 ("sched/kasan: remove stale KASAN poison after hotplug") ... by removing any stale KASAN stack poison immediately prior to onlining a CPU. Subsequently in commit: f1a0a376ca0c4ef1 ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled") ... the refactoring left the KASAN and SCS cleanup in one-time idle thread initialization code rather than something invoked prior to each CPU being onlined, breaking both as above. We fixed SCS (but not KASAN) in commit: 63acd42c0d4942f7 ("sched/scs: Reset the shadow stack when idle_task_exit") ... but as this runs in the context of the idle task being offlined it's potentially fragile. To fix these consistently and more robustly, reset the SCS SP and KASAN shadow of a CPU's idle task immediately before we online that CPU in bringup_cpu(). This ensures the idle task always has a consistent state when it is running, and removes the need to so so when exiting an idle task. Whenever any thread is created, dup_task_struct() will give the task a stack which is free of KASAN shadow, and initialize the task's SCS SP, so there's no need to specially initialize either for idle thread within init_idle(), as this was only necessary to handle hotplug cycles. I've tested this on arm64 with: * gcc 11.1.0, defconfig +KASAN_INLINE, KASAN_STACK * clang 12.0.0, defconfig +KASAN_INLINE, KASAN_STACK, SHADOW_CALL_STACK ... offlining and onlining CPUS with: | while true; do | for C in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online; do | echo 0 > $C; | echo 1 > $C; | done | done Fixes: f1a0a376ca0c4ef1 ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled") Reported-by: Qian Cai Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Valentin Schneider Tested-by: Qian Cai Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211115113310.35693-1-mark.rutland@arm.com/

preempt: Restore preemption model selection configs

2021-11-11T12:09:33Z

Commit c597bfddc9e9 ("sched: Provide Kconfig support for default dynamic preempt mode") changed the selectable config names for the preemption model. This means a config file must now select CONFIG_PREEMPT_BEHAVIOUR=y rather than CONFIG_PREEMPT=y to get a preemptible kernel. This means all arch config files would need to be updated - right now they'll all end up with the default CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE_BEHAVIOUR. Rather than touch a good hundred of config files, restore usage of CONFIG_PREEMPT{_NONE, _VOLUNTARY}. Make them configure: o The build-time preemption model when !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC o The default boot-time preemption model when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Add siblings of those configs with the _BUILD suffix to unconditionally designate the build-time preemption model (PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is built with the "highest" preemption model it supports, aka PREEMPT). Downstream configs should by now all be depending / selected by CONFIG_PREEMPTION rather than CONFIG_PREEMPT, so only a few sites need patching up.

sched/fair: Prevent dead task groups from regaining cfs_rq's

2021-11-11T12:09:33Z

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen. His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer. That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which made the UAF fail fast. Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a37 ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however, misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an inconvenient time. When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin and Michal are seeing. To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first. However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see it, as can be seen below: CPU1: CPU2: : timer IRQ: : do_sched_cfs_period_timer(): : : : distribute_cfs_runtime(): : rcu_read_lock(); : : : unthrottle_cfs_rq(): sched_offline_group(): : : walk_tg_tree_from(…,tg_unthrottle_up,…): list_del_rcu(&tg->list); : (1) : list_for_each_entry_rcu(child, &parent->children, siblings) : : (2) list_del_rcu(&tg->siblings); : : tg_unthrottle_up(): unregister_fair_sched_group(): struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu_of(rq)]; : : list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg->cfs_rq[cpu]); : : : : if (!cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq) || cfs_rq->nr_running) (3) : list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq); : : : : : : : : : : (4) : rcu_read_unlock(); CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(), specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at (1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in unregister_fair_sched_group(). Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on. To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e. after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the dying task group any more. On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd ones. This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to trigger within minutes before.
