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.
Fixes: e6fe3f422be1 ("sched: Make multiple runqueue task counters 32-bit")

[ Upstream commit c2a295bffeaf9461ecba76dc9e4780c898c94f03 ]
With delayed dequeued feature, a sleeping sched_entity remains queued in
the rq until its lag has elapsed. As a result, it stays also visible
in the statistics that are used to balance the system and in particular
the field cfs.h_nr_queued when the sched_entity is associated to a task.
Create a new h_nr_runnable that tracks only queued and runnable tasks.

commit d6f3e7d564b2309e1f17e709a70eca78d7ca2bb8 upstream.
scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler
that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both
cgroup and autogroup migrations and scx_move_task() tried to filter out
autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but
this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is
doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart
scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an
autogroup migration.
This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root
cgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340

Fix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the
moving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration. After the change,
scx_move_task() is called only for cgroup migrations and renamed to
scx_cgroup_move_task().

[ Upstream commit 1a6151017ee5a30cb2d959f110ab18fc49646467 ]
What psi needs to do on each enqueue and dequeue has gotten more
subtle, and the generic sched code trying to distill this into a bool
for the callbacks is awkward.
Pass the flags directly and let psi parse them. For that to work, the
#include "stats.h" (which has the psi callback implementations) needs
to be below the flag definitions in "sched.h". Move that section
further down, next to some of the other accounting stuff.
This also puts the ENQUEUE_SAVE/RESTORE branch behind the psi jump
label, slightly reducing overhead when PSI=y but runtime disabled.

[ Upstream commit b53127db1dbf7f1047cf35c10922d801dcd40324 ]
dlserver can get dequeued during a dlserver pick_task due to the delayed
deueue feature and this can lead to issues with dlserver logic as it
still thinks that dlserver is on the runqueue. The dlserver throttling
and replenish logic gets confused and can lead to double enqueue of
dlserver.
Double enqueue of dlserver could happend due to couple of reasons:
Case 1
------
Delayed dequeue feature[1] can cause dlserver being stopped during a
pick initiated by dlserver:
__pick_next_task
pick_task_dl -> server_pick_task
pick_task_fair
pick_next_entity (if (sched_delayed))
dequeue_entities
dl_server_stop
server_pick_task goes ahead with update_curr_dl_se without knowing that
dlserver is dequeued and this confuses the logic and may lead to
unintended enqueue while the server is stopped.
Case 2
------
A race condition between a task dequeue on one cpu and same task's enqueue
on this cpu by a remote cpu while the lock is released causing dlserver
double enqueue.
One cpu would be in the schedule() and releasing RQ-lock:
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE();
schedule();
deactivate_task()
dl_stop_server();
pick_next_task()
pick_next_task_fair()
sched_balance_newidle()
rq_unlock(this_rq)
at which point another CPU can take our RQ-lock and do:
try_to_wake_up()
ttwu_queue()
rq_lock()
...
activate_task()
dl_server_start() --> first enqueue
wakeup_preempt() := check_preempt_wakeup_fair()
update_curr()
update_curr_task()
if (current->dl_server)
dl_server_update()
enqueue_dl_entity() --> second enqueue
This bug was not apparent as the enqueue in dl_server_start doesn't
usually happen because of the defer logic. But as a side effect of the
first case(dequeue during dlserver pick), dl_throttled and dl_yield will
be set and this causes the time accounting of dlserver to messup and
then leading to a enqueue in dl_server_start.
Have an explicit flag representing the status of dlserver to avoid the
confusion. This is set in dl_server_start and reset in dlserver_stop.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:
- The fair sched class currently has a bug where its balance() returns
true telling the sched core that it has tasks to run but then NULL
from pick_task(). This makes sched core call sched_ext's pick_task()
without preceding balance() which can lead to stalls in partial mode.
For now, work around by detecting the condition and forcing the CPU
to go through another scheduling cycle.
- Add a missing newline to an error message and fix drgn introspection
tool which went out of sync.

balance_scx()
sched_ext dispatches tasks from the BPF scheduler from balance_scx() and
thus every pick_task_scx() call must be preceded by balance_scx(). While
this usually holds, due to a bug, there are cases where the fair class's
balance() returns true indicating that it has tasks to run on the CPU and
thus terminating balance() calls but fails to actually find the next task to
run when pick_task() is called. In such cases, pick_task_scx() can be called
without preceding balance_scx().
Detect this condition using SCX_RQ_BAL_PENDING flags. If detected, keep
running the previous task if possible and avoid stalling from entering idle
without balancing.

Commit 98442f0ccd82 ("sched: Fix delayed_dequeue vs
switched_from_fair()") overlooked that __setscheduler_prio(), now
__setscheduler_class() relies on p->policy for task_should_scx(), and
moved the call before __setscheduler_params() updates it, causing it
to be using the old p->policy value.
Resolve this by changing task_should_scx() to take the policy itself
instead of a task pointer, such that __sched_setscheduler() can pass
in the updated policy.

Syzkaller robot reported KCSAN tripping over the
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER(p->on_rq) in __block_task().
The report noted that both pick_next_task_fair() and try_to_wake_up()
were concurrently trying to write to the same p->on_rq, violating the
assertion -- even though both paths hold rq->__lock.
The logical consequence is that both code paths end up holding a
different rq->__lock. And looking through ttwu(), this is possible
when the __block_task() 'p->on_rq = 0' store is visible to the ttwu()
'p->on_rq' load, which then assumes the task is not queued and
continues to migrate it.
Rearrange things such that __block_task() releases @p with the store
and no code thereafter will use @p again.

and its follow up fixes try to deal with a rather unfortunate
situation where is task is enqueued in a new class, even though it
shouldn't have been. Mostly because the existing ->switched_to/from()
hooks are in the wrong place for this case.
This all led to Paul being able to trigger failures at something like
once per 10k CPU hours of RCU torture.
For now, do the ugly thing and move the code to the right place by
ignoring the switch hooks.

was called
During ttwu, ->select_task_rq() can be skipped if only one CPU is allowed or
migration is disabled. sched_ext schedulers may perform operations such as
direct dispatch from ->select_task_rq() path and it is useful for them to
know whether ->select_task_rq() was skipped in the ->enqueue_task() path.
Currently, sched_ext schedulers are using ENQUEUE_WAKEUP for this purpose
and end up assuming incorrectly that ->select_task_rq() was called for tasks
that are bound to a single CPU or migration disabled.
Make select_task_rq() indicate whether ->select_task_rq() was called by
setting WF_RQ_SELECTED in *wake_flags and make ttwu_do_activate() map that
to ENQUEUE_RQ_SELECTED for ->enqueue_task().
This will be used by sched_ext to fix ->select_task_rq() skip detection.

While the BPF scheduler is being unloaded, the following warning messages
trigger sometimes:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
This is caused by the CPU entering idle while there are pending softirqs.
The main culprit is the bypassing state assertion not being synchronized
with rq operations. As the BPF scheduler cannot be trusted in the disable
path, the first step is entering the bypass mode where the BPF scheduler is
ignored and scheduling becomes global FIFO.
This is implemented by turning scx_ops_bypassing() true. However, the
transition isn't synchronized against anything and it's possible for enqueue
and dispatch paths to have different ideas on whether bypass mode is on.
Make each rq track its own bypass state with SCX_RQ_BYPASSING which is
modified while rq is locked.
This removes most of the NOHZ tick-stop messages but not completely. I
believe the stragglers are from the sched core bug where pick_task_scx() can
be called without preceding balance_scx(). Once that bug is fixed, we should
verify that all occurrences of this error message are gone too.
v2: scx_enabled() test moved inside the for_each_possible_cpu() loop so that
the per-cpu states are always synchronized with the global state.

Add sched_ext_ops operations to init/exit cgroups, and track task migrations
and config changes. A BPF scheduler may not implement or implement only
subset of cgroup features. The implemented features can be indicated using
%SCX_OPS_HAS_CGOUP_* flags. If cgroup configuration makes use of features
that are not implemented, a warning is triggered.
While a BPF scheduler is being enabled and disabled, relevant cgroup
operations are locked out using scx_cgroup_rwsem. This avoids situations
like task prep taking place while the task is being moved across cgroups,
making things easier for BPF schedulers.
v7: - cgroup interface file visibility toggling is dropped in favor just
warning messages. Dynamically changing interface visiblity caused more
confusion than helping.
v6: - Updated to reflect the removal of SCX_KF_SLEEPABLE.
- Updated to use CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT and fixes for
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED.
v5: - Flipped the locking order between scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock() to avoid locking order conflict w/ cpuset. Better
documentation around locking.
- sched_move_task() takes an early exit if the source and destination
are identical. This triggered the warning in scx_cgroup_can_attach()
as it left p->scx.cgrp_moving_from uncleared. Updated the cgroup
migration path so that ops.cgroup_prep_move() is skipped for identity
migrations so that its invocations always match ops.cgroup_move()
one-to-one.
v4: - Example schedulers moved into their own patches.
- Fix build failure when !CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED, reported by Andrea Righi.
v3: - Make scx_example_pair switch all tasks by default.
- Convert to BPF inline iterators.
- scx_bpf_task_cgroup() is added to determine the current cgroup from
CPU controller's POV. This allows BPF schedulers to accurately track
CPU cgroup membership.
- scx_example_flatcg added. This demonstrates flattened hierarchy
implementation of CPU cgroup control and shows significant performance
improvement when cgroups which are nested multiple levels are under
competition.

sched_ext will soon add cgroup cpu.weigh support. The cgroup interface code
is currently gated behind CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. As the fair class and/or
SCX may implement the feature, put the interface code behind the new
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT which is selected by CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
This allows either sched class to enable the itnerface code without ading
more complex CONFIG tests.

is added to support later CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT &&

SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is used by balance_one() to tell pick_next_task_scx() to
keep running the current task. It's not really a task property. Replace it
with SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP which resides in rq->scx.flags and is a better fit for
the usage. Also, the existing clearing rule is unnecessarily strict and
makes it difficult to use with core-sched. Just clear it on entry to

When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server
set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see
update_curr_task().
Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through
the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial
solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this
location).
However, this gives a problem when:
p = pick_task(rq);
if (p)
put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next);
picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes
from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In
that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or
preserve p->dl_server.
An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a
remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules
the core_pick.
Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of
p->dl_server by:
- having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server
- having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server
- having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server
- complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where
appropriate.

The current rule is that:
pick_next_task() := pick_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
And many classes implement it directly as such. Change things around
to make pick_next_task() optional while also changing the definition to:
pick_next_task(prev) := pick_task() + put_prev_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
The reason is that sched_ext would like to have a 'final' call that
knows the next task. By placing put_prev_task() right next to
set_next_task() (as it already is for sched_core) this becomes
trivial.
As a bonus, this is a nice cleanup on its own.

Note that tasks that are kept on the runqueue to burn off negative

they get picked.

task_can_run_on_remote_rq() is similar to is_cpu_allowed() but there are
subtle differences. It currently open codes all the tests. This is
cumbersome to understand and error-prone in case the intersecting tests need
to be updated.
Factor out the common part - testing whether the task is allowed on the CPU
at all regardless of the CPU state - into task_allowed_on_cpu() and make
both is_cpu_allowed() and SCX's task_can_run_on_remote_rq() use it. As the
code is now linked between the two and each contains only the extra tests
that differ between them, it's less error-prone when the conditions need to
be updated. Also, improve the comment to explain why they are different.

On SMP, SCX performs dispatch from sched_class->balance(). As balance() was
not available in UP, it instead called the internal balance function from
put_prev_task_scx() and pick_next_task_scx() to emulate the effect, which is
rather nasty.
Enabling sched_class->balance() on UP shouldn't cause any meaningful
overhead. Enable balance() on UP and drop the ugly workaround.

* Use simple CFS pick_task for DL pick_task
DL server's pick_task calls CFS's pick_next_task_fair(), this is wrong
because core scheduling's pick_task only calls CFS's pick_task() for
evaluation / checking of the CFS task (comparing across CPUs), not for
actually affirmatively picking the next task. This causes RB tree
corruption issues in CFS that were found by syzbot.
* Make pick_task_fair clear DL server
A DL task pick might set ->dl_server, but it is possible the task will
never run (say the other HT has a stop task). If the CFS task is picked
in the future directly (say without DL server), ->dl_server will be
set. So clear it in pick_task_fair().
This fixes the KASAN issue reported by syzbot in set_next_entity().
(DL refactoring suggestions by Vineeth Pillai).

Among the motivations for the DL servers is the real-time throttling
mechanism. This mechanism works by throttling the rt_rq after
running for a long period without leaving space for fair tasks.
The base dl server avoids this problem by boosting fair tasks instead
of throttling the rt_rq. The point is that it boosts without waiting
for potential starvation, causing some non-intuitive cases.
For example, an IRQ dispatches two tasks on an idle system, a fair
and an RT. The DL server will be activated, running the fair task
before the RT one. This problem can be avoided by deferring the
dl server activation.
By setting the defer option, the dl_server will dispatch an
SCHED_DEADLINE reservation with replenished runtime, but throttled.
The dl_timer will be set for the defer time at (period - runtime) ns
from start time. Thus boosting the fair rq at defer time.
If the fair scheduler has the opportunity to run while waiting
for defer time, the dl server runtime will be consumed. If
the runtime is completely consumed before the defer time, the
server will be replenished while still in a throttled state. Then,
the dl_timer will be reset to the new defer time
If the fair server reaches the defer time without consuming
its runtime, the server will start running, following CBS rules
(thus without breaking SCHED_DEADLINE). Then the server will
continue the running state (without deferring) until it fair
tasks are able to execute as regular fair scheduler (end of
the starvation).

In ops.dispatch(), SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON can be used to dispatch the task to the
local DSQ of any CPU. However, during direct dispatch from ops.select_cpu()
and ops.enqueue(), this isn't allowed. This is because dispatching to the
local DSQ of a remote CPU requires locking both the task's current and new
rq's and such double locking can't be done directly from ops.enqueue().
While waking up a task, as ops.select_cpu() can pick any CPU and both
ops.select_cpu() and ops.enqueue() can use SCX_DSQ_LOCAL as the dispatch
target to dispatch to the DSQ of the picked CPU, the BPF scheduler can still
do whatever it wants to do. However, while a task is being enqueued for a
different reason, e.g. after its slice expiration, only ops.enqueue() is
called and there's no way for the BPF scheduler to directly dispatch to the
local DSQ of a remote CPU. This gap in API forces schedulers into
work-arounds which are not straightforward or optimal such as skipping
direct dispatches in such cases.
Implement deferred enqueueing to allow directly dispatching to the local DSQ
of a remote CPU from ops.select_cpu() and ops.enqueue(). Such tasks are
temporarily queued on rq->scx.ddsp_deferred_locals. When the rq lock can be
safely released, the tasks are taken off the list and queued on the target
local DSQs using dispatch_to_local_dsq().
v2: - Add missing return after queue_balance_callback() in
schedule_deferred(). (David).
- dispatch_to_local_dsq() now assumes that @rq is locked but unpinned
and thus no longer takes @rf. Updated accordingly.
- UP build warning fix.
