[ Upstream commit 6080fb211672aec6ce8f2f5a2e0b4eae736f2027 ]
Updating "ppos" on error conditions does not make much sense. The pattern
is to return the error code directly without modifying the position, or
modify the position on success and return the number of bytes written.
Since on success, the return value of apply is 0, there is no point in
modifying ppos either. Fix it by removing all this and just returning
error code or number of bytes written on success.

[ Upstream commit 94894c9c477e53bcea052e075c53f89df3d2a33e ]
CPU0 becomes overloaded when hosting a CPU-bound RT task, a non-CPU-bound
RT task, and a CFS task stuck in kernel space. When other CPUs switch from
RT to non-RT tasks, RT load balancing (LB) is triggered; with
HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI enabled, they send IPIs to CPU0 to drive the execution
of rto_push_irq_work_func. During push_rt_task on CPU0,
if next_task->prio < rq->donor->prio, resched_curr() sets NEED_RESCHED
and after the push operation completes, CPU0 calls rto_next_cpu().
Since only CPU0 is overloaded in this scenario, rto_next_cpu() should
ideally return -1 (no further IPI needed).
However, multiple CPUs invoking tell_cpu_to_push() during LB increments
rd->rto_loop_next. Even when rd->rto_cpu is set to -1, the mismatch between
rd->rto_loop and rd->rto_loop_next forces rto_next_cpu() to restart its
search from -1. With CPU0 remaining overloaded (satisfying rt_nr_migratory
&& rt_nr_total > 1), it gets reselected, causing CPU0 to queue irq_work to
itself and send self-IPIs repeatedly. As long as CPU0 stays overloaded and
other CPUs run pull_rt_tasks(), it falls into an infinite self-IPI loop,
which triggers a CPU hardlockup due to continuous self-interrupts.
The trigging scenario is as follows:
cpu0 cpu1 cpu2
pull_rt_task
tell_cpu_to_push
<------------irq_work_queue_on
rto_push_irq_work_func
push_rt_task
resched_curr(rq) pull_rt_task
rto_next_cpu tell_cpu_to_push
<-------------------------- atomic_inc(rto_loop_next)
rd->rto_loop != next
rto_next_cpu
irq_work_queue_on
rto_push_irq_work_func
Fix redundant self-IPI by filtering the initiating CPU in rto_next_cpu().
This solution has been verified to effectively eliminate spurious self-IPIs
and prevent CPU hardlockup scenarios.

[ Upstream commit 115135422562e2f791e98a6f55ec57b2da3b3a95 ]
Andrea reported the dl_server getting stuck for him. He tracked it
down to a state where dl_server_start() saw dl_defer_running==1, but
the dl_server's job is no longer valid at the time of
dl_server_start().
In the state diagram this corresponds to [4] D->A (or dl_server_stop()
due to no more runnable tasks) followed by [1], which in case of a
lapsed deadline must then be A->B.
Now our A has dl_defer_running==1, while B demands
dl_defer_running==0, therefore it must get cleared when the CBS wakeup
rules demand a replenish.

For PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, the deferred_irq_workfn() is executed in
the per-cpu irq_work/* task context and not disable-irq, if the rq
returned by container_of() is current CPU's rq, the following scenarios
may occur:
lock(&rq->__lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&rq->__lock);
This commit use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to replace init_irq_work() to
initialize rq->scx.deferred_irq_work, make the deferred_irq_workfn()
is always invoked in hard-irq context.

[ Upstream commit 98c88dc8a1ace642d9021b103b28cba7b51e3abc ]
Samuel and Alex reported regressions of the util_avg of RT rq with
commit 17e3e88ed0b6 ("sched/fair: Fix pelt lost idle time detection").
It happens that fair is updating and syncing the pelt clock with task one
when pick_next_task_fair() fails to pick a task but before the prev
scheduling class got a chance to update its pelt signals.
Move update_idle_rq_clock_pelt() in set_next_task_idle() which is called
after prev class has been called.

commit 33cf66d88306663d16e4759e9d24766b0aaa2e17 upstream.
Add a randomized algorithm that runs newidle balancing proportional to
its success rate.
This improves schbench significantly:
6.18-rc4: 2.22 Mrps/s
6.18-rc4+revert: 2.04 Mrps/s
6.18-rc4+revert+random: 2.18 Mrps/S
Conversely, per Adam Li this affects SpecJBB slightly, reducing it by 1%:
6.17: -6%
6.17+revert: 0%
6.17+revert+random: -1%

[ Upstream commit f5e1e5ec204da11fa87fdf006d451d80ce06e118 ]
move_local_task_to_local_dsq() is used when moving a task from a non-local
DSQ to a local DSQ on the same CPU. It directly manipulates the local DSQ
without going through dispatch_enqueue() and was missing the post-enqueue
handling that triggers preemption when SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT is set or the idle
task is running.
The function is used by move_task_between_dsqs() which backs
scx_bpf_dsq_move() and may be called while the CPU is busy.
Add local_dsq_post_enq() call to move_local_task_to_local_dsq(). As the
dispatch path doesn't need post-enqueue handling, add SCX_RQ_IN_BALANCE
early exit to keep consume_dispatch_q() behavior unchanged and avoid
triggering unnecessary resched when scx_bpf_dsq_move() is used from the
dispatch path.

[ Upstream commit 1dd6c84f1c544e552848a8968599220bd464e338 ]
When loading the ebpf scheduler, the tasks in the scx_tasks list will
be traversed and invoke __setscheduler_class() to get new sched_class.
however, this would also incorrectly set the per-cpu migration
task's->sched_class to rt_sched_class, even after unload, the per-cpu
migration task's->sched_class remains sched_rt_class.
The log for this issue is as follows:

[ Upstream commit 79f3f9bedd149ea438aaeb0fb6a083637affe205 ]
Basically, from the constraint that the sum of lag is zero, you can
infer that the 0-lag point is the weighted average of the individual
vruntime, which is what we're trying to compute:
\Sum w_i * v_i
avg = --------------
\Sum w_i
Now, since vruntime takes the whole u64 (worse, it wraps), this
multiplication term in the numerator is not something we can compute;
instead we do the min_vruntime (v0 henceforth) thing like:
v_i = (v_i - v0) + v0
This does two things:
- it keeps the key: (v_i - v0) 'small';
- it creates a relative 0-point in the modular space.
If you do that subtitution and work it all out, you end up with:
\Sum w_i * (v_i - v0)
avg = --------------------- + v0
\Sum w_i
Since you cannot very well track a ratio like that (and not suffer
terrible numerical problems) we simpy track the numerator and
denominator individually and only perform the division when strictly
needed.
Notably, the numerator lives in cfs_rq->avg_vruntime and the denominator
lives in cfs_rq->avg_load.
The one extra 'funny' is that these numbers track the entities in the
tree, and current is typically outside of the tree, so avg_vruntime()
adds current when needed before doing the division.
(vruntime_eligible() elides the division by cross-wise multiplication)
Anyway, as mentioned above, we currently use the CFS era min_vruntime
for this purpose. However, this thing can only move forward, while the
above avg can in fact move backward (when a non-eligible task leaves,
the average becomes smaller), this can cause trouble when through
happenstance (or construction) these values drift far enough apart to
wreck the game.
Replace cfs_rq::min_vruntime with cfs_rq::zero_vruntime which is kept
near/at avg_vruntime, following its motion.
The down-side is that this requires computing the avg more often.

commit 690e47d1403e90b7f2366f03b52ed3304194c793 upstream.
Overview
========
When a CPU chooses to call push_rt_task and picks a task to push to
another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_lowest_rq method
which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the
locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current
runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window
it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some
other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is
migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to
wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue
(on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the
current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no
longer in the pushable tasks list.
Crashes
=======
This bug resulted in quite a few flavors of crashes triggering kernel
panics with various crash signatures such as assert failures, page
faults, null pointer dereferences, and queue corruption errors all
coming from scheduler itself.

a) CPU A has chosen next_task = task p.
b) CPU A calls find_lock_lowest_rq(Task p, CPU Z’s rq).
c) CPU A identifies CPU X as a destination CPU (X < Z).
d) CPU A enters double_lock_balance(CPU Z’s rq, CPU X’s rq).
e) Since X is lower than Z, CPU A unlocks CPU Z’s rq. Someone else has
locked CPU X’s rq, and thus, CPU A must wait.
2) At CPU Z
a) Previous task has completed execution and thus, CPU Z enters
schedule, locks its own rq after CPU A releases it.
b) CPU Z dequeues previous task and begins executing task p.
c) CPU Z unlocks its rq.
d) Task p yields the CPU (ex. by doing IO or waiting to acquire a
lock) which triggers the schedule function on CPU Z.
e) CPU Z enters schedule again, locks its own rq, and dequeues task p.
f) As part of dequeue, it sets p.on_rq = 0 and unlocks its rq.
3) At CPU B
a) CPU B enters try_to_wake_up with input task p.
b) Since CPU Z dequeued task p, p.on_rq = 0, and CPU B updates
B.state = WAKING.
c) CPU B via select_task_rq determines CPU Y as the target CPU.
4) The race
a) CPU A acquires CPU X’s lock and relocks CPU Z.
b) CPU A reads task p.cpu = Z and incorrectly concludes task p is
still on CPU Z.
c) CPU A failed to notice task p had been dequeued from CPU Z while
CPU A was waiting for locks in double_lock_balance. If CPU A knew
that task p had been dequeued, it would return NULL forcing
push_rt_task to give up the task p's migration.
d) CPU B updates task p.cpu = Y and calls ttwu_queue.
e) CPU B locks Ys rq. CPU B enqueues task p onto Y and sets task
p.on_rq = 1.
f) CPU B unlocks CPU Y, triggering memory synchronization.
g) CPU A reads task p.on_rq = 1, cementing its assumption that task p
has not migrated.
h) CPU A decides to migrate p to CPU X.
This leads to A dequeuing p from Y's queue and various crashes down the
line.
Solution
========
The solution here is fairly simple. After obtaining the lock (at 4a),
the check is enhanced to make sure that the task is still at the head of
the pushable tasks list. If not, then it is anyway not suitable for
being pushed out.
Testing
=======
The fix is tested on a cluster of 3 nodes, where the panics due to this
are hit every couple of days. A fix similar to this was deployed on such
cluster and was stable for more than 30 days.

[ Upstream commit 382748c05e58a9f1935f5a653c352422375566ea ]
Commit 16b269436b72 ("sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus
to reflect rd->online") introduced the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu
functions to allow the cpu_dl::free_cpus mask to be manipulated
by the deadline scheduler class rq_on/offline callbacks so the
mask would also reflect this state.
Commit 9659e1eeee28 ("sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask
from cpudl_find()") removed the check of the cpu_active_mask to
save some processing on the premise that the cpudl::free_cpus
mask already reflected the runqueue online state.
Unfortunately, there are cases where it is possible for the
cpudl_clear function to set the free_cpus bit for a CPU when the
deadline runqueue is offline. When this occurs while a CPU is
connected to the default root domain the flag may retain the bad
state after the CPU has been unplugged. Later, a different CPU
that is transitioning through the default root domain may push a
deadline task to the powered down CPU when cpudl_find sees its
free_cpus bit is set. If this happens the task will not have the
opportunity to run.
One example is outlined here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250110233010.2339521-1-opendmb@gmail.com
Another occurs when the last deadline task is migrated from a
CPU that has an offlined runqueue. The dequeue_task member of
the deadline scheduler class will eventually call cpudl_clear
and set the free_cpus bit for the CPU.
This commit modifies the cpudl_clear function to be aware of the
online state of the deadline runqueue so that the free_cpus mask
can be updated appropriately.
It is no longer necessary to manage the mask outside of the
cpudl_set/clear functions so the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu
functions are removed. In addition, since the free_cpus mask is
now only updated under the cpudl lock the code was changed to
use the non-atomic __cpumask functions.

last task migrates out
[ Upstream commit ca125231dd29fc0678dd3622e9cdea80a51dffe4 ]
When a task is migrated out, there is a probability that the tg->load_avg
value will become abnormal. The reason is as follows:
1. Due to the 1ms update period limitation in update_tg_load_avg(), there
is a possibility that the reduced load_avg is not updated to tg->load_avg
when a task migrates out.
2. Even though __update_blocked_fair() traverses the leaf_cfs_rq_list and
calls update_tg_load_avg() for cfs_rqs that are not fully decayed, the key
function cfs_rq_is_decayed() does not check whether
cfs->tg_load_avg_contrib is null. Consequently, in some cases,
__update_blocked_fair() removes cfs_rqs whose avg.load_avg has not been
updated to tg->load_avg.
Add a check of cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib in cfs_rq_is_decayed(),
which fixes the case (2.) mentioned above.

[ Upstream commit 79104becf42baeeb4a3f2b106f954b9fc7c10a3c ]
If a task yields, the scheduler may decide to pick it again. The task in
turn may decide to yield immediately or shortly after, leading to a tight
loop of yields.
If there's another runnable task as this point, the deadline will be
increased by the slice at each loop. This can cause the deadline to runaway
pretty quickly, and subsequent elevated run delays later on as the task
doesn't get picked again. The reason the scheduler can pick the same task
again and again despite its deadline increasing is because it may be the
only eligible task at that point.
Fix this by making the task forfeiting its remaining vruntime and pushing
the deadline one slice ahead. This implements yield behavior more
authentically.
We limit the forfeiting to eligible tasks. This is because core scheduling
prefers running ineligible tasks rather than force idling. As such, without
the condition, we can end up on a yield loop which makes the vruntime
increase rapidly, leading to anomalous run delays later down the line.

Dequeuing a fair task on a throttled hierarchy returns early on
encountering a throttled cfs_rq since the throttle path has already
dequeued the hierarchy above and has adjusted the h_nr_* accounting till
the root cfs_rq.
dequeue_entities() crucially misses calling __block_task() for delayed
tasks being dequeued on the throttled hierarchies, but this was mostly
harmless until commit b7ca5743a260 ("sched/core: Tweak
wait_task_inactive() to force dequeue sched_delayed tasks") since all
existing cases would re-enqueue the task if task_on_rq_queued() returned
true and the task would eventually be blocked at pick after the
hierarchy was unthrottled.
wait_task_inactive() is special as it expects the delayed task on
throttled hierarchy to reach the blocked state on dequeue but since
__block_task() is never called, task_on_rq_queued() continues to return
true. Furthermore, since the task is now off the hierarchy, the pick
never reaches it to fully block the task even after unthrottle leading
to wait_task_inactive() looping endlessly.
Remedy this by calling __block_task() if a delayed task is being
dequeued on a throttled hierarchy.
This fix is only required for stabled kernels implementing delay dequeue
(>= v6.12) before v6.18 since upstream commit e1fad12dcb66 ("sched/fair:
Switch to task based throttle model") indirectly fixes this by removing
the early return conditions in dequeue_entities() as part of the per-task
throttle feature.

commit 8fd5485fb4f3d9da3977fd783fcb8e5452463420 upstream.
When a CPU chooses to call push_dl_task and picks a task to push to
another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_later_rq method
which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the
locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current
runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window
it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some
other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is
migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to
wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue
(on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the
current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no
longer in the pushable tasks list.
Please go through the original rt change for more details on the issue.
To fix this, after the lock is obtained inside the find_lock_later_rq,
it ensures that the task is still at the head of pushable tasks list.
Also removed some checks that are no longer needed with the addition of
this new check.
However, the new check of pushable tasks list only applies when
find_lock_later_rq is called by push_dl_task. For the other caller i.e.
dl_task_offline_migration, existing checks are used.

commit 5ebf512f335053a42482ebff91e46c6dc156bf8c upstream.
sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() uses a bsearch to look for the 'closest'
CPU in sched_domains_numa_masks and given cpus mask. However they
might not intersect if all CPUs in the cpus mask are offline. bsearch
will return NULL in that case, bail out instead of dereferencing a
bogus pointer.
The previous behaviour lead to this bug when using maxcpus=4 on an
rk3399 (LLLLbb) (i.e. booting with all big CPUs offline):

commit f0c6eab5e45c529f449fbc595873719e00de6d79 upstream.
A BPF scheduler may want to use the built-in idle cpumasks in ops.init()
before the scheduler is fully initialized, either directly or through a
BPF timer for example.
However, this would result in an error, since the idle state has not
been properly initialized yet.
This can be easily verified by modifying scx_simple to call
scx_bpf_get_idle_cpumask() in ops.init():
$ sudo scx_simple
DEBUG DUMP
===========================================================================
scx_simple[121] triggered exit kind 1024:
runtime error (built-in idle tracking is disabled)
...
Fix this by properly initializing the idle state before ops.init() is
called. With this change applied:
$ sudo scx_simple

When enabling a sched_ext scheduler, we may trigger invalid task state

easily reproduced by running the hotplug selftest in a loop):

This happens because we skip initialization for tasks that are already

Fix this by also skipping dead tasks during class swiching, preventing
invalid task state transitions.

[ Upstream commit 155213a2aed42c85361bf4f5c817f5cb68951c3b ]
schbench (https://github.com/masoncl/schbench.git) is showing a
regression from previous production kernels that bisected down to:
sched/fair: Remove sysctl_sched_migration_cost condition (c5b0a7eefc)
The schbench command line was:
schbench -L -m 4 -M auto -t 256 -n 0 -r 0 -s 0
This creates 4 message threads pinned to CPUs 0-3, and 256x4 worker
threads spread across the rest of the CPUs. Neither the worker threads
or the message threads do any work, they just wake each other up and go
back to sleep as soon as possible.
The end result is the first 4 CPUs are pegged waking up those 1024
workers, and the rest of the CPUs are constantly banging in and out of
idle. If I take a v6.9 Linus kernel and revert that one commit,
performance goes from 3.4M RPS to 5.4M RPS.
schedstat shows there are ~100x more new idle balance operations, and
profiling shows the worker threads are spending ~20% of their CPU time
on new idle balance. schedstats also shows that almost all of these new
idle balance attemps are failing to find busy groups.
The fix used here is to crank up the cost of the newidle balance whenever it
fails. Since we don't want sd->max_newidle_lb_cost to grow out of
control, this also changes update_newidle_cost() to use
sysctl_sched_migration_cost as the upper limit on max_newidle_lb_cost.

[ Upstream commit 570c8efd5eb79c3725ba439ce105ed1bedc5acd9 ]
Dietmar reported that commit 3840cbe24cf0 ("sched: psi: fix bogus
pressure spikes from aggregation race") caused a regression for him on
a high context switch rate benchmark (schbench) due to the now
repeating cpu_clock() calls.
In particular the problem is that get_recent_times() will extrapolate
the current state to 'now'. But if an update uses a timestamp from
before the start of the update, it is possible to get two reads
with inconsistent results. It is effectively back-dating an update.
(note that this all hard-relies on the clock being synchronized across
CPUs -- if this is not the case, all bets are off).
Combine this problem with the fact that there are per-group-per-cpu
seqcounts, the commit in question pushed the clock read into the group
iteration, causing tree-depth cpu_clock() calls. On architectures
where cpu_clock() has appreciable overhead, this hurts.
Instead move to a per-cpu seqcount, which allows us to have a single
clock read for all group updates, increasing internal consistency and
lowering update overhead. This comes at the cost of a longer update
side (proportional to the tree depth) which can cause the read side to
retry more often.

commit 36569780b0d64de283f9d6c2195fd1a43e221ee8 upstream.
The commit e6fe3f422be1 ("sched: Make multiple runqueue task counters
32-bit") changed nr_uninterruptible to an unsigned int. But the
nr_uninterruptible values for each of the CPU runqueues can grow to
large numbers, sometimes exceeding INT_MAX. This is valid, if, over
time, a large number of tasks are migrated off of one CPU after going
into an uninterruptible state. Only the sum of all nr_interruptible
values across all CPUs yields the correct result, as explained in a
comment in kernel/sched/loadavg.c.
Change the type of nr_uninterruptible back to unsigned long to prevent
overflows, and thus the miscalculation of load average.

[ Upstream commit fc975cfb36393db1db517fbbe366e550bcdcff14 ]
In our testing with 6.12 based kernel on a big.LITTLE system, we were
seeing instances of RT tasks being blocked from running on the LITTLE
cpus for multiple seconds of time, apparently by the dl_server. This
far exceeds the default configured 50ms per second runtime.
This is due to the fair dl_server runtime calculation being scaled
for frequency & capacity of the cpu.
Consider the following case under a Big.LITTLE architecture:
Assume the runtime is: 50,000,000 ns, and Frequency/capacity
scale-invariance defined as below:
Frequency scale-invariance: 100
Capacity scale-invariance: 50
First by Frequency scale-invariance,
the runtime is scaled to 50,000,000 * 100 >> 10 = 4,882,812
Then by capacity scale-invariance,
it is further scaled to 4,882,812 * 50 >> 10 = 238,418.
So it will scaled to 238,418 ns.
This smaller "accounted runtime" value is what ends up being
subtracted against the fair-server's runtime for the current period.
Thus after 50ms of real time, we've only accounted ~238us against the
fair servers runtime. This 209:1 ratio in this example means that on
the smaller cpu the fair server is allowed to continue running,
blocking RT tasks, for over 10 seconds before it exhausts its supposed
50ms of runtime. And on other hardware configurations it can be even
worse.
For the fair deadline_server, to prevent realtime tasks from being
unexpectedly delayed, we really do want to use fixed time, and not
scaled time for smaller capacity/frequency cpus. So remove the scaling
from the fair server's accounting to fix this.

So this balance_push() is part of schedule(), and schedule() is supposed
to switch to stopper task, but because of this race condition, stopper
task is stuck in WAKING state and not actually visible to be picked.
Therefore CPU1 can do another schedule() and end up doing another
balance_push() even though the last one hasn't been done yet.
This is a confluence of fail, where both wake_q and ttwu_wakelist can
cause crucial wakeups to be delayed, resulting in the malfunction of
balance_push.
Since there is only a single stopper thread to be woken, the wake_q
doesn't really add anything here, and can be removed in favour of
direct wakeups of the stopper thread.
Then add a clause to ttwu_queue_cond() to ensure the stopper threads
are never queued / delayed.
Of all 3 moving parts, the last addition was the balance_push()
machinery, so pick that as the point the bug was introduced.

sched_create_group()
commit 33796b91871ad4010c8188372dd1faf97cf0f1c0 upstream.
During task_group creation, sched_create_group() calls
scx_group_set_weight() with CGROUP_WEIGHT_DFL to initialize the sched_ext
portion. This is premature and ends up calling ops.cgroup_set_weight() with
an incorrect @cgrp before ops.cgroup_init() is called.
sched_create_group() should just initialize SCX related fields in the new
task_group. Fix it by factoring out scx_tg_init() from sched_init() and
making sched_create_group() call that function instead of
scx_group_set_weight().

to build failures on !CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED configs.

[ Upstream commit b7ca5743a2604156d6083b88cefacef983f3a3a6 ]
It was reported that in 6.12, smpboot_create_threads() was
taking much longer then in 6.6.
I narrowed down the call path to:
smpboot_create_threads()
-> kthread_create_on_cpu()
-> kthread_bind()
-> __kthread_bind_mask()
->wait_task_inactive()
Where in wait_task_inactive() we were regularly hitting the
queued case, which sets a 1 tick timeout, which when called
multiple times in a row, accumulates quickly into a long
delay.
I noticed disabling the DELAY_DEQUEUE sched feature recovered
the performance, and it seems the newly create tasks are usually
sched_delayed and left on the runqueue.
So in wait_task_inactive() when we see the task
p->se.sched_delayed, manually dequeue the sched_delayed task
with DEQUEUE_DELAYED, so we don't have to constantly wait a
tick.

[ Upstream commit 2ae891b826958b60919ea21c727f77bcd6ffcc2c ]
The old default value for slice is 0.75 msec * (1 + ilog(ncpus)) which
means that we have a default slice of:
0.75 for 1 cpu
1.50 up to 3 cpus
2.25 up to 7 cpus
3.00 for 8 cpus and above.
For HZ=250 and HZ=100, because of the tick accuracy, the runtime of
tasks is far higher than their slice.
For HZ=1000 with 8 cpus or more, the accuracy of tick is already
satisfactory, but there is still an issue that tasks will get an extra
tick because the tick often arrives a little faster than expected. In
this case, the task can only wait until the next tick to consider that it
has reached its deadline, and will run 1ms longer.
vruntime + sysctl_sched_base_slice = deadline
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
1ms 1ms 1ms 1ms
^ ^ ^ ^
tick1 tick2 tick3 tick4(nearly 4ms)
There are two reasons for tick error: clockevent precision and the
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING/CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING. with
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING every tick will be less than 1ms, but even
without it, because of clockevent precision, tick still often less than
1ms.
In order to make scheduling more precise, we changed 0.75 to 0.70,
Using 0.70 instead of 0.75 should not change much for other configs
and would fix this issue:
0.70 for 1 cpu
1.40 up to 3 cpus
2.10 up to 7 cpus
2.8 for 8 cpus and above.
This does not guarantee that tasks can run the slice time accurately
every time, but occasionally running an extra tick has little impact.

commit 428dc9fc0873989d73918d4a9cc22745b7bbc799 upstream.
BPF programs may call next() and destroy() on BPF iterators even after new()
returns an error value (e.g. bpf_for_each() macro ignores error returns from
new()). bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() could leave the iterator in an uninitialized
state after an error return causing bpf_iter_scx_dsq_next() to dereference
garbage data. Make bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() always clear $kit->dsq so that
next() and destroy() become noops.

commit bbce3de72be56e4b5f68924b7da9630cc89aa1a8 upstream.
There is a code path in dequeue_entities() that can set the slice of a
sched_entity to U64_MAX, which sometimes results in a crash.
The offending case is when dequeue_entities() is called to dequeue a
delayed group entity, and then the entity's parent's dequeue is delayed.
In that case:
1. In the if (entity_is_task(se)) else block at the beginning of
dequeue_entities(), slice is set to
cfs_rq_min_slice(group_cfs_rq(se)). If the entity was delayed, then
it has no queued tasks, so cfs_rq_min_slice() returns U64_MAX.
2. The first for_each_sched_entity() loop dequeues the entity.
3. If the entity was its parent's only child, then the next iteration
tries to dequeue the parent.
4. If the parent's dequeue needs to be delayed, then it breaks from the
first for_each_sched_entity() loop _without updating slice_.
5. The second for_each_sched_entity() loop sets the parent's ->slice to
the saved slice, which is still U64_MAX.
This throws off subsequent calculations with potentially catastrophic
results. A manifestation we saw in production was:
6. In update_entity_lag(), se->slice is used to calculate limit, which
ends up as a huge negative number.
7. limit is used in se->vlag = clamp(vlag, -limit, limit). Because limit
is negative, vlag > limit, so se->vlag is set to the same huge
negative number.
8. In place_entity(), se->vlag is scaled, which overflows and results in
another huge (positive or negative) number.
9. The adjusted lag is subtracted from se->vruntime, which increases or
decreases se->vruntime by a huge number.
10. pick_eevdf() calls entity_eligible()/vruntime_eligible(), which
incorrectly returns false because the vruntime is so far from the
other vruntimes on the queue, causing the
(vruntime - cfs_rq->min_vruntime) * load calulation to overflow.
11. Nothing appears to be eligible, so pick_eevdf() returns NULL.
12. pick_next_entity() tries to dereference the return value of
pick_eevdf() and crashes.
Dumping the cfs_rq states from the core dumps with drgn showed tell-tale
huge vruntime ranges and bogus vlag values, and I also traced se->slice
being set to U64_MAX on live systems (which was usually "benign" since
the rest of the runqueue needed to be in a particular state to crash).
Fix it in dequeue_entities() by always setting slice from the first
non-empty cfs_rq.

commit 47068309b5777313b6ac84a77d8d10dc7312260a upstream.
Replace kzalloc with kvzalloc for the exit_dump buffer allocation, which
can require large contiguous memory depending on the implementation.
This change prevents allocation failures by allowing the system to fall
back to vmalloc when contiguous memory allocation fails.
Since this buffer is only used for debugging purposes, physical memory
contiguity is not required, making vmalloc a suitable alternative.

commit 79443a7e9da3c9f68290a8653837e23aba0fa89f upstream.
The handling of the limits_changed flag in struct sugov_policy needs to
be explicitly synchronized to ensure that cpufreq policy limits updates
will not be missed in some cases.
Without that synchronization it is theoretically possible that
the limits_changed update in sugov_should_update_freq() will be
reordered with respect to the reads of the policy limits in
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() and in that case, if the limits_changed
update in sugov_limits() clobbers the one in sugov_should_update_freq(),
the new policy limits may not take effect for a long time.
Likewise, the limits_changed update in sugov_limits() may theoretically
get reordered with respect to the updates of the policy limits in
cpufreq_set_policy() and if sugov_should_update_freq() runs between
them, the policy limits change may be missed.
To ensure that the above situations will not take place, add memory
barriers preventing the reordering in question from taking place and
add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations around all of the
limits_changed flag updates to prevent the compiler from messing up
with that code.

[ Upstream commit cfde542df7dd51d26cf667f4af497878ddffd85a ]
Commit 8e461a1cb43d ("cpufreq: schedutil: Fix superfluous updates caused
by need_freq_update") modified sugov_should_update_freq() to set the
need_freq_update flag only for drivers with CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS
set, but that flag generally needs to be set when the policy limits
change because the driver callback may need to be invoked for the new
limits to take effect.
However, if the return value of cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() after
applying the new limits is still equal to the previously selected
frequency, the driver callback needs to be invoked only in the case
when CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS is set (which means that the driver
specifically wants its callback to be invoked every time the policy
limits change).
Update the code accordingly to avoid missing policy limits changes for
drivers without CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS.

commit a8897ed8523d4c9d782e282b18005a3779c92714 upstream.
create_dsq and therefore the scx_bpf_create_dsq kfunc currently silently
ignore duplicate entries. As a sched_ext scheduler is creating each DSQ
for a different purpose this is surprising behaviour.
Replace rhashtable_insert_fast which ignores duplicates with
rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast that reports duplicates (though doesn't
return their value). The rest of the code is structured correctly and
this now returns -EEXIST.
Tested by adding an extra scx_bpf_create_dsq to scx_simple. Previously
this was ignored, now init fails with a -17 code. Also ran scx_lavd
which continued to work well.

[ Upstream commit 14672f059d83f591afb2ee1fff56858efe055e5a ]
The ftrace selftest reported a failure because writing -1 to
sched_rt_runtime_us returns -EBUSY. This happens when the possible
CPUs are different from active CPUs.
Active CPUs are part of one root domain, while remaining CPUs are part
of def_root_domain. Since active cpumask is being used, this results in
cpus=0 when a non active CPUs is used in the loop.
Fix it by looping over the online CPUs instead for validating the
bandwidth calculations.
