2022-03-08sched: Fix yet more sched_fork() racesPeter Zijlstra
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.

2022-03-08sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entityTadeusz Struk
[ 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.

2022-02-01sched/pelt: Relax the sync of util_sum with util_avgVincent Guittot
[ Upstream commit 98b0d890220d45418cfbc5157b3382e6da5a12ab ] Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency being lower than before: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045 He bisected the problem to: commit 1c35b07e6d39 ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent") This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been reflected in util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization of root cfs_rq after propagating the change down into the hierarchy, we revert the change of util_sum and propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

2022-02-01sched/membarrier: Fix membarrier-rseq fence command missing from query bitmaskMathieu Desnoyers
commit 809232619f5b15e31fb3563985e705454f32621f upstream. The membarrier command MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY allows querying the available membarrier commands. When the membarrier-rseq fence commands were added, a new MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK was introduced with the intent to expose them with the MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY command, the but it was never added to MEMBARRIER_CMD_BITMASK. The membarrier-rseq fence commands are therefore not wired up with the query command. Rename MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK to MEMBARRIER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK (the bitmask is not a command per-se), and change the erroneous MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK (which does not actually exist) to MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ. Wire up MEMBARRIER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK in MEMBARRIER_CMD_BITMASK. Fixing this allows discovering availability of the membarrier-rseq fence feature.

2022-02-01psi: Fix uaf issue when psi trigger is destroyed while being polledSuren Baghdasaryan
commit a06247c6804f1a7c86a2e5398a4c1f1db1471848 upstream. With write operation on psi files replacing old trigger with a new one, the lifetime of its waitqueue is totally arbitrary. Overwriting an existing trigger causes its waitqueue to be freed and pending poll() will stumble on trigger->event_wait which was destroyed. Fix this by disallowing to redefine an existing psi trigger. If a write operation is used on a file descriptor with an already existing psi trigger, the operation will fail with EBUSY error. Also bypass a check for psi_disabled in the psi_trigger_destroy as the flag can be flipped after the trigger is created, leading to a memory leak.

commit dd02d4234c9a2214a81c57a16484304a1a51872a upstream. cpuacct has 2 different ways of accounting and showing user and system times. The first one uses cpuacct_account_field() to account times and cpuacct.stat file to expose them. And this one seems to work ok. The second one is uses cpuacct_charge() function for accounting and set of cpuacct.usage* files to show times. Despite some attempts to fix it in the past it still doesn't work. Sometimes while running KVM guest the cpuacct_charge() accounts most of the guest time as system time. This doesn't match with user&system times shown in cpuacct.stat or proc/<pid>/stat.

2022-01-27psi: Fix PSI_MEM_FULL state when tasks are in memstall and doing reclaimBrian Chen
[ Upstream commit cb0e52b7748737b2cf6481fdd9b920ce7e1ebbdf ] We've noticed cases where tasks in a cgroup are stalled on memory but there is little memory FULL pressure since tasks stay on the runqueue in reclaim. A simple example involves a single threaded program that keeps leaking and touching large amounts of memory. It runs in a cgroup with swap enabled, memory.high set at 10M and cpu.max ratio set at 5%. Though there is significant CPU pressure and memory SOME, there is barely any memory FULL since the task enters reclaim and stays on the runqueue. However, this memory-bound task is effectively stalled on memory and we expect memory FULL to match memory SOME in this scenario. The code is confused about memstall && running, thinking there is a stalled task and a productive task when there's only one task: a reclaimer that's counted as both. To fix this, we redefine the condition for PSI_MEM_FULL to check that all running tasks are in an active memstall instead of checking that there are no running tasks. case PSI_MEM_FULL: - return unlikely(tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] && !tasks[NR_RUNNING]); + return unlikely(tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] && + tasks[NR_RUNNING] == tasks[NR_MEMSTALL_RUNNING]); This will capture reclaimers. It will also capture tasks that called psi_memstall_enter() and are about to sleep, but this should be negligible noise.

For asymmetric CPU capacity systems, the assumption was that the wakee couldn't have a bigger utilization during task placement than it used to have during the last activation. That was not considering uclamp.min which can completely change between two task activations and as a consequence mandates the fitness criterion asym_fits_capacity(), even for the exit path described above.

2021-12-09wait: add wake_up_pollfree()Eric Biggers
Several ->poll() implementations are special in that they use a waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct file as is normally the case. This is okay for blocking polls, since a blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls require another solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared before it is freed, using 'wake_up_poll(wq, EPOLLHUP | POLLFREE);'. However, that has a bug: wake_up_poll() calls __wake_up() with nr_exclusive=1. Therefore, if there are multiple "exclusive" waiters, and the wakeup function for the first one returns a positive value, only that one will be called. That's *not* what's needed for POLLFREE; POLLFREE is special in that it really needs to wake up everyone. Considering the three non-blocking poll systems: - io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE at all, so it is broken anyway. - aio poll is unaffected, since it doesn't support exclusive waits. However, that's fragile, as someone could add this feature later. - epoll doesn't appear to be broken by this, since its wakeup function returns 0 when it sees POLLFREE. But this is fragile. Although there is a workaround (see epoll), it's better to define a function which always sends POLLFREE to all waiters. Add such a function. Also make it verify that the queue really becomes empty after all waiters have been woken up.

2021-12-04sched/uclamp: Fix rq->uclamp_max not set on first enqueueQais Yousef
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.

Unfortunately in nohz_full, sum_exec_runtime is only updated once per second in the worst case, causing a discrepancy against utime and stime that can be updated anytime by the reader using vtime. To fix this situation, perform an update of cputime.sum_exec_runtime when the cputime snapshot reports the task as actually running while the tick is disabled.

2021-11-24sched/scs: Reset task stack state in bringup_cpu()Mark Rutland
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.

2021-11-11preempt: Restore preemption model selection configsValentin Schneider
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.

2021-11-11sched/fair: Prevent dead task groups from regaining cfs_rq'sMathias Krause
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.

Nothing protects the access to the per_cpu variable sd_llc_id. When testing the same CPU (i.e. this_cpu == that_cpu), a race condition exists with update_top_cache_domain(). One scenario being: CPU1 CPU2 ================================================================== per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) => 0 partition_sched_domains_locked() detach_destroy_domains() cpus_share_cache(CPUX, CPUX) update_top_cache_domain(CPUX) per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) => 0 per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) = CPUX per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) => CPUX return false ttwu_queue_cond() wouldn't catch smp_processor_id() == cpu and the result is a warning triggered from ttwu_queue_wakelist(). Avoid a such race in cpus_share_cache() by always returning true when this_cpu == that_cpu.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull prctl updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the missing prctl uapi pieces for PR_SCHED_CORE. In order to activate core scheduling the caller is expected to specify the scope of the new core scheduling domain. For example, passing 2 in the 4th argument of prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, <pid>, 2, 0); would indicate that the new core scheduling domain encompasses all tasks in the process group of <pid>. Specifying 0 would only create a core scheduling domain for the thread identified by <pid> and 2 would encompass the whole thread-group of <pid>. Note, the values 0, 1, and 2 correspond to PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID, and PIDTYPE_PGID. A first version tried to expose those values directly to which I objected because: - PIDTYPE_* is an enum that is kernel internal which we should not expose to userspace directly. - PIDTYPE_* indicates what a given struct pid is used for it doesn't express a scope. But what the 4th argument of PR_SCHED_CORE prctl() expresses is the scope of the operation, i.e. the scope of the core scheduling domain at creation time. So Eugene's patch now simply introduces three new defines PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD, PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD_GROUP, and PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_PROCESS_GROUP. They simply express what happens. This has been on the mailing list for quite a while with all relevant scheduler folks Cced. I announced multiple times that I'd pick this up if I don't see or her anyone else doing it. None of this touches proper scheduler code but only concerns uapi so I think this is fine. With core scheduling being quite common now for vm managers (e.g. moving individual vcpu threads into their own core scheduling domain) and container managers (e.g. moving the init process into its own core scheduling domain and letting all created children inherit it) having to rely on raw numbers passed as the 4th argument in prctl() is a bit annoying and everyone is starting to come up with their own defines" * tag 'kernel.sys.v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: uapi/linux/prctl: provide macro definitions for the PR_SCHED_CORE type argument

2021-11-06mm: move node_reclaim_distance to fix NUMA without SMPGeert Uytterhoeven
Patch series "Fix NUMA without SMP". SuperH is the only architecture which still supports NUMA without SMP, for good reasons (various memories scattered around the address space, each with varying latencies). This series fixes two build errors due to variables and functions used by the NUMA code being provided by SMP-only source files or sections. This patch (of 2): If CONFIG_NUMA=y, but CONFIG_SMP=n (e.g. sh/migor_defconfig): sh4-linux-gnu-ld: mm/page_alloc.o: in function `get_page_from_freelist': page_alloc.c:(.text+0x2c24): undefined reference to `node_reclaim_distance' Fix this by moving the declaration of node_reclaim_distance from an SMP-only to a generic file.

2021-10-15sched/rt: Annotate the RT balancing logic irqwork as IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The push-IPI logic for RT tasks expects to be invoked from hardirq context. One reason is that a RT task on the remote CPU would block the softirq processing on PREEMPT_RT and so avoid pulling / balancing the RT tasks as intended. Annotate root_domain::rto_push_work as IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ.

2021-10-15sched: Add cluster scheduler level in core and related Kconfig for ARM64Barry Song
This patch adds scheduler level for clusters and automatically enables the load balance among clusters. It will directly benefit a lot of workload which loves more resources such as memory bandwidth, caches. Testing has widely been done in two different hardware configurations of Kunpeng920: 24 cores in one NUMA(6 clusters in each NUMA node); 32 cores in one NUMA(8 clusters in each NUMA node) Workload is running on either one NUMA node or four NUMA nodes, thus, this can estimate the effect of cluster spreading w/ and w/o NUMA load balance. * Stream benchmark: 4threads stream (on 1NUMA * 24cores = 24cores) stream stream w/o patch w/ patch MB/sec copy 29929.64 ( 0.00%) 32932.68 ( 10.03%) MB/sec scale 29861.10 ( 0.00%) 32710.58 ( 9.54%) MB/sec add 27034.42 ( 0.00%) 32400.68 ( 19.85%) MB/sec triad 27225.26 ( 0.00%) 31965.36 ( 17.41%) 6threads stream (on 1NUMA * 24cores = 24cores) stream stream w/o patch w/ patch MB/sec copy 40330.24 ( 0.00%) 42377.68 ( 5.08%) MB/sec scale 40196.42 ( 0.00%) 42197.90 ( 4.98%) MB/sec add 37427.00 ( 0.00%) 41960.78 ( 12.11%) MB/sec triad 37841.36 ( 0.00%) 42513.64 ( 12.35%) 12threads stream (on 1NUMA * 24cores = 24cores) stream stream w/o patch w/ patch MB/sec copy 52639.82 ( 0.00%) 53818.04 ( 2.24%) MB/sec scale 52350.30 ( 0.00%) 53253.38 ( 1.73%) MB/sec add 53607.68 ( 0.00%) 55198.82 ( 2.97%) MB/sec triad 54776.66 ( 0.00%) 56360.40 ( 2.89%) Thus, it could help memory-bound workload especially under medium load.

When !SCHEDSTATS schedstat_enabled() is an unconditional 0 and the whole block doesn't exist, however GCC figures the scoped variable 'stats' is unused and complains about it. Upgrade the warning from -Wunused-variable to -Wunused-but-set-variable by writing it in two statements. This fixes the build because the new warning is in W=1.
