Commit:
c3bc8fd637a9 ("tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage")
added the inclusion of <trace/events/preemptirq.h>.
liblockdep doesn't have a stub version of that header so now fails to build.
However, commit:
bff1b208a5d1 ("tracing: Partial revert of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage"")
removed the use of functions declared in that header. So delete the #include.

For debug purposes it would be nice to see which tasks
caused a suspend abort, i.e. which tasks were still
in the process of freezing when a wakeup event occurred.

Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the
RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply
not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers,
the owner value does not provide much useful information at all.
This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct
pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This
may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one
reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the
real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is
examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional
hint about the past history.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at
unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does
have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that
debug option.
From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes
shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark
(with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a
2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a
4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows:
1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s
2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s
3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s
There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this
particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or
just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also
had less than the expected impact on performance.
The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate
the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

The 'prefer sibling' sched_domain flag is intended to encourage
spreading tasks to sibling sched_domain to take advantage of more caches
and core for SMT systems. It has recently been changed to be on all
non-NUMA topology level. However, spreading across domains with CPU
capacity asymmetry isn't desirable, e.g. spreading from high capacity to
low capacity CPUs even if high capacity CPUs aren't overutilized might
give access to more cache but the CPU will be slower and possibly lead
to worse overall throughput.
To prevent this, we need to remove SD_PREFER_SIBLING on the sched_domain
level immediately below SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY.

When lower capacity CPUs are load balancing and considering to pull
something from a higher capacity group, we should not pull tasks from a
CPU with only one task running as this is guaranteed to impede progress
for that task. If there is more than one task running, load balance in
the higher capacity group would have already made any possible moves to
resolve imbalance and we should make better use of system compute
capacity by moving a task if we still have more than one running.

Idle balance is a great opportunity to pull a misfit task. However,
there are scenarios where misfit tasks are present but idle balance is
prevented by the overload flag.
A good example of this is a workload of n identical tasks. Let's suppose
we have a 2+2 Arm big.LITTLE system. We then spawn 4 fairly
CPU-intensive tasks - for the sake of simplicity let's say they are just
CPU hogs, even when running on big CPUs.
They are identical tasks, so on an SMP system they should all end at
(roughly) the same time. However, in our case the LITTLE CPUs are less
performing than the big CPUs, so tasks running on the LITTLEs will have
a longer completion time.
This means that the big CPUs will complete their work earlier, at which
point they should pull the tasks from the LITTLEs. What we want to
happen is summarized as follows:
a,b,c,d are our CPU-hogging tasks _ signifies idling
LITTLE_0 | a a a a _ _
LITTLE_1 | b b b b _ _
---------|-------------
big_0 | c c c c a a
big_1 | d d d d b b
^
^
Tasks end on the big CPUs, idle balance happens
and the misfit tasks are pulled straight away
This however won't happen, because currently the overload flag is only
set when there is any CPU that has more than one runnable task - which
may very well not be the case here if our CPU-hogging workload is all
there is to run.
As such, this commit sets the overload flag in update_sg_lb_stats when
a group is flagged as having a misfit task.

The local 'overload' variable used in update_sd_lb_stats can remain

There already are a few conditions in nohz_kick_needed() to ensure
a nohz kick is triggered, but they are not enough for some misfit
task scenarios. Excluding asym packing, those are:
- rq->nr_running >=2: Not relevant here because we are running a
misfit task, it needs to be migrated regardless and potentially through
active balance.
- sds->nr_busy_cpus > 1: If there is only the misfit task being run
on a group of low capacity CPUs, this will be evaluated to False.
- rq->cfs.h_nr_running >=1 && check_cpu_capacity(): Not relevant here,
misfit task needs to be migrated regardless of rt/IRQ pressure
As such, this commit adds an rq->misfit_task_load condition to trigger a
nohz kick.
The idea to kick a nohz balance for misfit tasks originally came from
Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>, and a similar patch was submitted for
the Android Common Kernel - see:

On asymmetric CPU capacity systems load intensive tasks can end up on
CPUs that don't suit their compute demand. In this scenarios 'misfit'
tasks should be migrated to CPUs with higher compute capacity to ensure
better throughput. group_misfit_task indicates this scenario, but tweaks
to the load-balance code are needed to make the migrations happen.
Misfit balancing only makes sense between a source group of lower
per-CPU capacity and destination group of higher compute capacity.
Otherwise, misfit balancing is ignored. group_misfit_task has lowest
priority so any imbalance due to overload is dealt with first.
The modifications are:
1. Only pick a group containing misfit tasks as the busiest group if the
destination group has higher capacity and has spare capacity.
2. When the busiest group is a 'misfit' group, skip the usual average
load and group capacity checks.
3. Set the imbalance for 'misfit' balancing sufficiently high for a task
to be pulled ignoring average load.
4. Pick the CPU with the highest misfit load as the source CPU.
5. If the misfit task is alone on the source CPU, go for active
balancing.

The current sg->min_capacity tracks the lowest per-CPU compute capacity
available in the sched_group when rt/irq pressure is taken into account.
Minimum capacity isn't the ideal metric for tracking if a sched_group
needs offloading to another sched_group for some scenarios, e.g. a
sched_group with multiple CPUs if only one is under heavy pressure.
Tracking maximum capacity isn't perfect either but a better choice for
some situations as it indicates that the sched_group definitely compute
capacity constrained either due to rt/irq pressure on all CPUs or
asymmetric CPU capacities (e.g. big.LITTLE).

To maximize throughput in systems with asymmetric CPU capacities (e.g.
ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider task and CPU utilization
as well as per-CPU compute capacity when load-balancing in addition to
the current average load based load-balancing policy. Tasks with high
utilization that are scheduled on a lower capacity CPU need to be
identified and migrated to a higher capacity CPU if possible to maximize
throughput.
To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: 'group_misfit_task'. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has one or more tasks that are not
suitable for its per-CPU capacity. 'group_misfit_task' is only considered
if the system is not overloaded or imbalanced ('group_imbalanced' or
'group_overloaded').
Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each CPU is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY sched_domain flag is supposed to mark the
sched_domain in the hierarchy where all CPU capacities are visible for
any CPU's point of view on asymmetric CPU capacity systems. The
scheduler can then take to take capacity asymmetry into account when
balancing at this level. It also serves as an indicator for how wide
task placement heuristics have to search to consider all available CPU
capacities as asymmetric systems might often appear symmetric at
smallest level(s) of the sched_domain hierarchy.
The flag has been around for while but so far only been set by
out-of-tree code in Android kernels. One solution is to let each
architecture provide the flag through a custom sched_domain topology
array and associated mask and flag functions. However,
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is special in the sense that it depends on the
capacity and presence of all CPUs in the system, i.e. when hotplugging
all CPUs out except those with one particular CPU capacity the flag
should disappear even if the sched_domains don't collapse. Similarly,
the flag is affected by cpusets where load-balancing is turned off.
Detecting when the flags should be set therefore depends not only on
topology information but also the cpuset configuration and hotplug
state. The arch code doesn't have easy access to the cpuset
configuration.
Instead, this patch implements the flag detection in generic code where
cpusets and hotplug state is already taken care of. All the arch is
responsible for is to implement arch_scale_cpu_capacity() and force a
full rebuild of the sched_domain hierarchy if capacities are updated,
e.g. later in the boot process when cpufreq has initialized.

It was discovered that a constant stream of readers with occassional
writers pounding on a rwsem may cause many of the readers to enter the
slowpath unnecessarily thus increasing latency and lowering performance.
In the current code, a reader entering the slowpath critical section
will unconditionally set the WAITING_BIAS, if not set yet, and clear
its active count even if no one is in the wait queue and no writer
is present. This causes some incoming readers to observe the presence
of waiters in the wait queue and hence have to go into the slowpath
themselves.
With sufficient numbers of readers and a relatively short lock hold time,
the WAITING_BIAS may be repeatedly turned on and off and a substantial
portion of the readers will go into the slowpath sustaining a rather
long queue in the wait queue spinlock and repeated WAITING_BIAS on/off
cycle until the logjam is broken opportunistically.
To avoid this situation from happening, an additional check is added to
detect the special case that the reader in the critical section is the
only one in the wait queue and no writer is present. When that happens,
it can just exit the slowpath and return immediately as its active count
has already been set in the lock. Other incoming readers won't observe
the presence of waiters and so will not be forced into the slowpath.
The issue was found in a customer site where they had an application
that pounded on the pread64 syscalls heavily on an XFS filesystem. The
application was run in a recent 4-socket boxes with a lot of CPUs. They
saw significant spinlock contention in the rwsem_down_read_failed() call.
With this patch applied, the system CPU usage went down from 85% to 57%,
and the spinlock contention in the pread64 syscalls was gone.

It can happen that load_balance() finds a busiest group and then a
busiest rq but the calculated imbalance is in fact 0.
In such situation, detach_tasks() returns immediately and lets the
flag LBF_ALL_PINNED set. The busiest CPU is then wrongly assumed to
have pinned tasks and removed from the load balance mask. then, we
redo a load balance without the busiest CPU. This creates wrong load
balance situation and generates wrong task migration.
If the calculated imbalance is 0, it's useless to try to find a
busiest rq as no task will be migrated and we can return immediately.
This situation can happen with heterogeneous system or smp system when
RT tasks are decreasing the capacity of some CPUs.

Since commit:
523e979d3164 ("sched/core: Use PELT for scale_rt_capacity()")
scale_rt_capacity() returns the remaining capacity and not a scale factor
to apply on cpu_capacity_orig. arch_scale_cpu() is directly called by
scale_rt_capacity() so we must take the sched_domain argument.

When a task which previously ran on a given CPU is remotely queued to
wake up on that same CPU, there is a period where the task's state is
TASK_WAKING and its vruntime is not normalized. This is not accounted
for in vruntime_normalized() which will cause an error in the task's
vruntime if it is switched from the fair class during this time.
For example if it is boosted to RT priority via rt_mutex_setprio(),
rq->min_vruntime will not be subtracted from the task's vruntime but
it will be added again when the task returns to the fair class. The
task's vruntime will have been erroneously doubled and the effective
priority of the task will be reduced.
Note this will also lead to inflation of all vruntimes since the doubled
vruntime value will become the rq's min_vruntime when other tasks leave
the rq. This leads to repeated doubling of the vruntime and priority
penalty.
Fix this by recognizing a WAKING task's vruntime as normalized only if
sched_remote_wakeup is true. This indicates a migration, in which case
the vruntime would have been normalized in migrate_task_rq_fair().
Based on a similar patch from John Dias <joaodias@google.com>.

update_blocked_averages() is called to periodiccally decay the stalled load
of idle CPUs and to sync all loads before running load balance.
When cfs rq is idle, it trigs a load balance during pick_next_task_fair()
in order to potentially pull tasks and to use this newly idle CPU. This
load balance happens whereas prev task from another class has not been put
and its utilization updated yet. This may lead to wrongly account running
time as idle time for RT or DL classes.
Test that no RT or DL task is running when updating their utilization in
update_blocked_averages().
We still update RT and DL utilization instead of simply skipping them to
make sure that all metrics are synced when used during load balance.

With the following commit:
051f3ca02e46 ("sched/topology: Introduce NUMA identity node sched domain")
the scheduler introduced a new NUMA level. However this leads to the NUMA topology
on 2 node systems to not be marked as NUMA_DIRECT anymore.
After this commit, it gets reported as NUMA_BACKPLANE, because
sched_domains_numa_level is now 2 on 2 node systems.
Fix this by allowing setting systems that have up to 2 NUMA levels as
NUMA_DIRECT.
While here remove code that assumes that level can be 0.

This is because when loading the cpufreq_dt module we first acquire
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock, then in cpufreq_init(), we are taking
the &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.
But when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features, the
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock depends on the &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.
To fix this bug, reverse the lock acquisition order when writing to
sched_features, this way cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem no longer depends on
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This fixes two annoying bugs:
- The first one is a side effect caused by using SRCU for rcuidle
tracepoints. It seems that the perf was depending on the rcuidle
tracepoints to make RCU watch when it wasn't.
The real fix will be to have perf use SRCU instead of depending on
RCU watching, but that can't be done until SRCU is safe to use in
NMI context (Paul's working on that).
- The second bug fix is for a bug that's been periodically making my
tests fail randomly for some time. I haven't had time to track it
down, but finally have. It has to do with stressing NMIs (via perf)
while enabling or disabling ftrace function handling with lockdep
enabled.
If an interrupt happens and just as it returns, it sets lockdep
back to "interrupts enabled" but before it returns an NMI is
triggered, and if this happens while printk_nmi_enter has a
breakpoint attached to it (because ftrace is converting it to or
from nop to call fentry), the breakpoint trap also calls into
lockdep, and since returning from the NMI to a interrupt handler,
interrupts were disabled when the NMI went off, lockdep keeps its
state as interrupts disabled when it returns back from the
interrupt handler where interrupts are enabled.
This causes lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() to trigger a false
positive"

After a bit of debugging, I found what was happening. This would trigger
when performing "perf" with a high NMI interrupt rate, while enabling and
disabling function tracer. Ftrace uses breakpoints to convert the nops at
the start of functions to calls to the function trampolines. The breakpoint
traps disable interrupts and this makes calls into lockdep via the
trace_hardirqs_off_thunk in the entry.S code. What happens is the following:
do_idle {
[interrupts enabled]
<interrupt> [interrupts disabled]
TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
[...]
TRACE_IRQS_IRET
test if pt_regs say return to interrupts enabled [yes]
TRACE_IRQS_ON [lockdep says irqs are on]
<nmi>
nmi_enter() {
printk_nmi_enter() [traced by ftrace]
[ hit ftrace breakpoint ]
<breakpoint exception>
TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
[...]
TRACE_IRQS_IRET [return from breakpoint]
test if pt_regs say interrupts enabled [no]
[iret back to interrupt]
[iret back to code]
tick_nohz_idle_enter() {
lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() [lockdep say no!]
Although interrupts are indeed enabled, lockdep thinks it is not, and since
we now do asserts via lockdep, it gives a false warning. The issue here is
that printk_nmi_enter() is called before lockdep_off(), which disables
lockdep (for this reason) in NMIs. By simply not allowing ftrace to see
printk_nmi_enter() (via notrace annotation) we keep lockdep from getting
confused.

When a teardown callback fails, the CPU hotplug code brings the CPU back to
the previous state. The previous state becomes the new target state. The
rollback happens in undo_cpu_down() which increments the state
unconditionally even if the state is already the same as the target.
As a consequence the next CPU hotplug operation will start at the wrong
state. This is easily to observe when __cpu_disable() fails.
Prevent the unconditional undo by checking the state vs. target before
incrementing state and fix up the consequently wrong conditional in the
unplug code which handles the failure of the final CPU take down on the
control CPU side.

The smp_mb() in cpuhp_thread_fun() is misplaced. It needs to be after the

Edward Cree says:
In check_mem_access(), for the PTR_TO_CTX case, after check_ctx_access()
has supplied a reg_type, the other members of the register state are set
appropriately. Previously reg.range was set to 0, but as it is in a
union with reg.map_ptr, which is larger, upper bytes of the latter were
left in place. This then caused the memcmp() in regsafe() to fail,
preventing some branches from being pruned (and occasionally causing the
same program to take a varying number of processed insns on repeated
verifier runs).
Fix the instability by clearing bpf_reg_state in __mark_reg_[un]known()

Commit d70f2a14b72a ("include/linux/sched/mm.h: uninline mmdrop_async(),
etc") ignored the return value of arch_dup_mmap(). As a result, on x86,
a failure to duplicate the LDT (e.g. due to memory allocation error)
would leave the duplicated memory mapping in an inconsistent state.
Fix by using the return value, as it was before the change.

Introduce CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS providing STACKLEAK information about
tasks via the /proc file system. In particular, /proc/<pid>/stack_depth
shows the maximum kernel stack consumption for the current and previous
syscalls. Although this information is not precise, it can be useful for
estimating the STACKLEAK performance impact for your workloads.
