40fa3780ba sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()
When running on linux-next (8c60c36d0b8c ("Add linux-next specific files
for 20181019")) + CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y on a big.LITTLE system (e.g.
Juno or HiKey960), we get the following report:

 [    0.748225] Call trace:
 [    0.750685]  lockdep_assert_cpus_held+0x30/0x40

 [    0.780190]  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

The static_key in question is 'sched_asym_cpucapacity' introduced by
commit:

  df054e8445 ("sched/topology: Add static_key for asymmetric CPU capacity optimizations")

In this particular case, we enable it because smp_prepare_cpus() will
end up fetching the capacity-dmips-mhz entry from the devicetree,
so we already have some asymmetry detected when entering sched_init_smp().

This didn't get detected in tip/sched/core because we were missing:

  commit cb538267ea ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations")

Calls to build_sched_domains() post sched_init_smp() will hold the
hotplug lock, it just so happens that this very first call is a
special case. As stated by a comment in sched_init_smp(), "There's no
userspace yet to cause hotplug operations" so this is a harmless
warning.

However, to both respect the semantics of underlying
callees and make lockdep happy, take the hotplug lock in
sched_init_smp(). This also satisfies the comment atop
sched_init_domains() that says "Callers must hold the hotplug lock".

eb414681d5 psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills.  In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.

In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.

A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively.  Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:

       cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
       memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
       io: tasks are waiting for io completions

These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit.  They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.

To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states.  Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime.  A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

4a465e3ebb sched/fair: Remove setting task's se->runnable_weight during PELT update
A CFS (SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_IDLE policy) task's
se->runnable_weight must always be in sync with its se->load.weight.

se->runnable_weight is set to se->load.weight when the task is
forked (init_entity_runnable_average()) or reniced (reweight_entity()).

There are two cases in set_load_weight() which since they currently only
set se->load.weight could lead to a situation in which se->load.weight
is different to se->runnable_weight for a CFS task:

(1) A task switches to SCHED_IDLE.

(2) A SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR or SCHED_DEADLINE task which has been reniced
    (during which only its static priority gets set) switches to
    SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH.

Set se->runnable_weight to se->load.weight in these two cases to prevent
this. This eliminates the need to explicitly set it to se->load.weight
during PELT updates in the CFS scheduler fastpath.

474b9c777b y2038: sched: Change sched_rr_get_interval to use __kernel_timespec
This is a preparation patch for converting sys_sched_rr_get_interval to
work with 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures. The 'interval' argument
is changed to struct __kernel_timespec, which will be redefined using
64-bit time_t in the future. The compat version of the system call in
turn is enabled for compilation with CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME so
the individual 32-bit architectures can share the handling of the
traditional argument with 64-bit architectures providing it for their
compat mode.

9afc5eee65 y2038: globally rename compat_time to old_time32
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:

Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.

The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:

old				new
---				---
compat_time_t			old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval		struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec		struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec	struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval()		ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64()	get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64()	put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64()		get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64()		put_old_timespec32()

As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.

I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.

This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

    He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events

    just get called directly (without using the trace events).
    But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely
    we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs
    disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs.
 
  - Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
    for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not
    allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes

  - New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
 
  - Addition of mcount-nop option support

958f338e96 Merge branch 'l1tf-final' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
  engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
  unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
  Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
  address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
  other reserved bits set.

  If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
  page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
  bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
  the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
  the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
  and accessible.

  While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
  raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
  loading the data and making it available to other speculative
  instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
  unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.

  While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
  allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
  attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
  and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
  bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.

  The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646

  The mitigations provided by this pull request include:

   - Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
     present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.

   - Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.

   - SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
     by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
     the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs

   - Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
     and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
     and at runtime via sysfs

   - Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
     mitigations.

  Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
  patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
  heated, but at the end constructive discussions.

  There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
  might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
  workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
  complexity and limitations"

088fe47ce9 signal: Add calculate_sigpending()
Add a function calculate_sigpending to test to see if any signals are
pending for a new task immediately following fork.  Signals have to
happen either before or after fork.  Today our practice is to push
all of the signals to before the fork, but that has the downside that
frequent or periodic signals can make fork take much much longer than
normal or prevent fork from completing entirely.

So we need move signals that we can after the fork to prevent that.

This updates the code to set TIF_SIGPENDING on a new task if there
are signals or other activities that have moved so that they appear
to happen after the fork.

As the code today restarts if it sees any such activity this won't
immediately have an effect, as there will be no reason for it
to set TIF_SIGPENDING immediately after the fork.

Adding calculate_sigpending means the code in fork can safely be
changed to not always restart if a signal is pending.

The new calculate_sigpending function sets sigpending if there
are pending bits in jobctl, pending signals, the freezer needs
to freeze the new task or the live kernel patching framework
need the new thread to take the slow path to userspace.

I have verified that setting TIF_SIGPENDING does make a new process
take the slow path to userspace before it executes it's first userspace
instruction.

I have looked at the callers of signal_wake_up and the code paths
setting TIF_SIGPENDING and I don't see anything else that needs to be
handled.  The code probably doesn't need to set TIF_SIGPENDING for the
kernel live patching as it uses a separate thread flag as well.  But
at this point it seems safer reuse the recalc_sigpending logic and get
the kernel live patching folks to sort out their story later.

V2: I have moved the test into schedule_tail where siglock can
    be grabbed and recalc_sigpending can be reused directly.
    Further as the last action of setting up a new task this
    guarantees that TIF_SIGPENDING will be properly set in the
    new process.

    The helper calculate_sigpending takes the siglock and
    uncontitionally sets TIF_SIGPENDING and let's recalc_sigpending
    clear TIF_SIGPENDING if it is unnecessary.  This allows reusing
    the existing code and keeps maintenance of the conditions simple.

    Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>  suggested the movement
    and pointed out the need to take siglock if this code
    was going to be called while the new task is discoverable.

c3bc8fd637 tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage
This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.

Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.

* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
  3 users of the events exist:
  - Lockdep
  - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
  - irqs and preempt trace events

The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.

In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:

 PREEMPT_TRACER   PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS  IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING
       |                 |     \         |           |
       \    (selects)    /      \        \ (selects) /
      TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE       ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS
                      \                  /
                       \ (depends on)   /
                     PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS

Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.

I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.

0ad4e3dfe6 sched/numa: Modify migrate_swap() to accept additional parameters
There are checks in migrate_swap_stop() that check if the task/CPU
combination is as per migrate_swap_arg before migrating.

However atleast one of the two tasks to be swapped by migrate_swap() could
have migrated to a completely different CPU before updating the
migrate_swap_arg. The new CPU where the task is currently running could
be a different node too. If the task has migrated, numa balancer might
end up placing a task in a wrong node.  Instead of achieving node
consolidation, it may end up spreading the load across nodes.

To avoid that pass the CPUs as additional parameters.

While here, place migrate_swap under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

3d6c50c27b sched/debug: Show the sum wait time of a task group
Although we can rely on cpuacct to present the CPU usage of task
groups, it is hard to tell how intense the competition is between
these groups on CPU resources.

Monitoring the wait time or sched_debug of each process could be
very expensive, and there is no good way to accurately represent the
conflict with these info, we need the wait time on group dimension.

Thus we introduce group's wait_sum to represent the resource conflict
between task groups, which is simply the sum of the wait time of
the group's cfs_rq.

The 'cpu.stat' is modified to show the statistic, like:

   nr_periods 0
   nr_throttled 0
   throttled_time 0
   wait_sum 2035098795584

Now we can monitor the changes of wait_sum to tell how much a
a task group is suffering in the fight of CPU resources.

For example:

   (wait_sum - last_wait_sum) * 100 / (nr_cpu * period_ns) == X%

means the task group paid X percentage of period on waiting
for the CPU.

2e62c4743a sched/fair: Remove #ifdefs from scale_rt_capacity()
Reuse cpu_util_irq() that has been defined for schedutil and set irq util
to 0 when !CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

But the compiler is not able to optimize the sequence (at least with
aarch64 GCC 7.2.1):

	free *= (max - irq);
	free /= max;

when irq is fixed to 0

Add a new inline function scale_irq_capacity() that will scale utilization
when irq is accounted. Reuse this funciton in schedutil which applies
similar formula.

af0fffd930 sched/core: Remove get_cpu() from sched_fork()
get_cpu() disables preemption for the entire sched_fork() function.
This get_cpu() was introduced in commit:

  dd41f596cd ("sched: cfs core code")

... which also invoked sched_balance_self() and this function
required preemption do be off.

Today, sched_balance_self() seems to be moved to ->task_fork callback
which is invoked while the ->pi_lock is held.

set_load_weight() could invoke reweight_task() which then via $callchain
might end up in smp_processor_id() but since `update_load' is false
this won't happen.

I didn't find any this_cpu*() or similar usage during the initialisation
of the task_struct.

The `cpu' value (from get_cpu()) is only used later in __set_task_cpu()
while the ->pi_lock lock is held.

Based on this it is possible to remove get_cpu() and use
smp_processor_id() for the `cpu' variable without breaking anything.

91c27493e7 sched/irq: Add IRQ utilization tracking
interrupt and steal time are the only remaining activities tracked by
rt_avg. Like for sched classes, we can use PELT to track their average
utilization of the CPU. But unlike sched class, we don't track when
entering/leaving interrupt; Instead, we take into account the time spent
under interrupt context when we update rqs' clock (rq_clock_task).
This also means that we have to decay the normal context time and account
for interrupt time during the update.

That's also important to note that because:

  rq_clock == rq_clock_task + interrupt time

and rq_clock_task is used by a sched class to compute its utilization, the
util_avg of a sched class only reflects the utilization of the time spent
in normal context and not of the whole time of the CPU. The utilization of
interrupt gives an more accurate level of utilization of CPU.

The CPU utilization is:

  avg_irq + (1 - avg_irq / max capacity) * /Sum avg_rq

Most of the time, avg_irq is small and neglictible so the use of the
approximation CPU utilization = /Sum avg_rq was enough.

Furthermore, Oleg noticed that the whole scheduler TASK_PARKED
handling is buggered because the TASK_DEAD thing is done with
preemption disabled, the current code can still complete early on
preemption :/

So basically revert that earlier fix and go with a variant of the
alternative mentioned in the commit. Promote TASK_PARKED to special
state to avoid the store-store issue on task->state leading to the
WARN in kthread_unpark() -> __kthread_bind().

But in addition, add wait_task_inactive() to kthread_park() to ensure
the task really is PARKED when we return from kthread_park(). This
avoids the whole kthread still gets migrated nonsense -- although it
would be really good to get this done differently.

Some people have reported that the warning in sched_tick_remote()

pressure:

This happens when the remote tick applies on an idle task. Usually the
idle_cpu() check avoids that, but it is performed before we lock the
runqueue and it is therefore racy. It was intended to be that way in
order to prevent from useless runqueue locks since idle task tick
callback is a no-op.

Now if the racy check slips out of our hands and we end up remotely
ticking an idle task, the empty task_tick_idle() is harmless. Still
it won't pass the WARN_ON_ONCE() test that ensures rq_clock_task() is
not too far from curr->se.exec_start because update_curr_idle() doesn't
update the exec_start value like other scheduler policies. Hence the
reported false positive.

So let's have another check, while the rq is locked, to make sure we
don't remote tick on an idle task. The lockless idle_cpu() still applies
to avoid unecessary rq lock contention.

The static key sched_smt_present is only updated at boot time when SMT
siblings have been detected. Booting with maxcpus=1 and bringing the

Let the key be updated in the scheduler CPU hotplug code to fix this.

0ed557aa81 sched/core / kcov: avoid kcov_area during task switch
During a context switch, we first switch_mm() to the next task's mm,
then switch_to() that new task.  This means that vmalloc'd regions which
had previously been faulted in can transiently disappear in the context
of the prev task.

Functions instrumented by KCOV may try to access a vmalloc'd kcov_area
during this window, and as the fault handling code is instrumented, this
results in a recursive fault.

We must avoid accessing any kcov_area during this window.  We can do so
with a new flag in kcov_mode, set prior to switching the mm, and cleared
once the new task is live.  Since task_struct::kcov_mode isn't always a
specific enum kcov_mode value, this is made an unsigned int.

The manipulation is hidden behind kcov_{prepare,finish}_switch() helpers,
which are empty for !CONFIG_KCOV kernels.

The code uses macros because I can't use static inline functions without a
circular include dependency between <linux/sched.h> and <linux/kcov.h>,
since the definition of task_struct uses things defined in <linux/kcov.h>

d7822b1e24 rseq: Introduce restartable sequences system call
Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace
memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two
purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the
current CPU number value from user-space.

* Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics)

Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on
per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.

The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started
by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of
critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a
few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other
architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path.

Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases.

Test hardware:

arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core
x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading

The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread.

* Per-CPU statistic counter increment

                getcpu+atomic (ns/op)    rseq (ns/op)    speedup
arm32:                344.0                 31.4          11.0
x86-64:                15.3                  2.0           7.7

* LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer
             per-cpu buffer

                getcpu+atomic (ns/op)    rseq (ns/op)    speedup
arm32:               2502.0                 2250.0         1.1
x86-64:               117.4                   98.0         1.2

* liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word

                getcpu+atomic (ns/op)    rseq (ns/op)    speedup
arm32:                751.0                 128.5          5.8
x86-64:                53.4                  28.6          1.9

* jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq

Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on
rseq 2016 implementation):

The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and
the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%.

* Reading the current CPU number

Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is
running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the
cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done
by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the
current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler
updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory
area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from
memory.

Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and
user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read
the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over
alternative approaches:

- 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc
- 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso
  executing a "lsl" instruction,
- 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction,
- Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline
  assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable
  sequences.
- The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared
  between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the
  case for the lsl-based x86 vdso.

On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment
selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs
similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is
not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already
using the gs segment selector for other purposes.

Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number:

ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Machine model: Cubietruck
- Baseline (empty loop):                                    8.4 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id:                               16.7 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register):               19.8 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu:                           301.8 ns
- getcpu system call:                                     234.9 ns

x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz:
- Baseline (empty loop):                                    0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id:                                0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register):                0.8 ns
- Read using gs segment selector:                           0.8 ns
- "lsl" inline assembly:                                   13.0 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu:                              16.6 ns
- getcpu system call:                                      53.9 ns

- Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset)

Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to
expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the
scheduler:

Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @
2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy
saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1
kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig,
restartable sequences series applied.

* CONFIG_RSEQ=n

avg.:      41.37 s
std.dev.:   0.36 s

* CONFIG_RSEQ=y

avg.:      40.46 s
std.dev.:   0.33 s

- Size

On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is
567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

7af443ee16 sched/core: Require cpu_active() in select_task_rq(), for user tasks
select_task_rq() is used in a few paths to select the CPU upon which a
thread should be run - for example it is used by try_to_wake_up() & by
fork or exec balancing. As-is it allows use of any online CPU that is
present in the task's cpus_allowed mask.

This presents a problem because there is a period whilst CPUs are
brought online where a CPU is marked online, but is not yet fully
initialized - ie. the period where CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE <= state <
CPUHP_ONLINE. Usually we don't run any user tasks during this window,
but there are corner cases where this can happen. An example observed
is:

  - Some user task A, running on CPU X, forks to create task B.

  - sched_fork() calls __set_task_cpu() with cpu=X, setting task B's
    task_struct::cpu field to X.

  - CPU X is offlined.

  - Task A, currently somewhere between the __set_task_cpu() in
    copy_process() and the call to wake_up_new_task(), is migrated to
    CPU Y by migrate_tasks() when CPU X is offlined.

  - CPU X is onlined, but still in the CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE state. The
    scheduler is now active on CPU X, but there are no user tasks on
    the runqueue.

  - Task A runs on CPU Y & reaches wake_up_new_task(). This calls
    select_task_rq() with cpu=X, taken from task B's task_struct,
    and select_task_rq() allows CPU X to be returned.

  - Task A enqueues task B on CPU X's runqueue, via activate_task() &
    enqueue_task().

  - CPU X now has a user task on its runqueue before it has reached the
    CPUHP_ONLINE state.

In most cases, the user tasks that schedule on the newly onlined CPU
have no idea that anything went wrong, but one case observed to be
problematic is if the task goes on to invoke the sched_setaffinity
syscall. The newly onlined CPU reaches the CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE state
before the CPU that brought it online calls stop_machine_unpark(). This
means that for a portion of the window of time between
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE & CPUHP_ONLINE the newly onlined CPU's struct
cpu_stopper has its enabled field set to false. If a user thread is
executed on the CPU during this window and it invokes sched_setaffinity
with a CPU mask that does not include the CPU it's running on, then when
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr() calls stop_one_cpu() intending to invoke
migration_cpu_stop() and perform the actual migration away from the CPU
it will simply return -ENOENT rather than calling migration_cpu_stop().
We then return from the sched_setaffinity syscall back to the user task
that is now running on a CPU which it just asked not to run on, and
which is not present in its cpus_allowed mask.

This patch resolves the problem by having select_task_rq() enforce that
user tasks run on CPUs that are active - the same requirement that
select_fallback_rq() already enforces. This should ensure that newly
onlined CPUs reach the CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE state before being able to
schedule user tasks, and also implies that bringup_wait_for_ap() will
have called stop_machine_unpark() which resolves the sched_setaffinity
issue above.

I haven't yet investigated them, but it may be of interest to review
whether any of the actions performed by hotplug states between
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE & CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE could have similar unintended
effects on user tasks that might schedule before they are reached, which
might widen the scope of the problem from just affecting the behaviour
of sched_setaffinity.

175f0e25ab sched/core: Fix rules for running on online && !active CPUs
As already enforced by the WARN() in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), the rules
for running on an online && !active CPU are stricter than just being a
kthread, you need to be a per-cpu kthread.

If you're not strictly per-CPU, you have better CPUs to run on and
don't need the partially booted one to get your work done.

The exception is to allow smpboot threads to bootstrap the CPU itself
and get kernel 'services' initialized before we allow userspace on it.

943d355d7f sched/core: Distinguish between idle_cpu() calls based on desired effect, introduce available_idle_cpu()
In the following commit:

  247f2f6f3c ("sched/core: Don't schedule threads on pre-empted vCPUs")

... we distinguish between idle_cpu() when the vCPU is not running for
scheduling threads.

However, the idle_cpu() function is used in other places for
actually checking whether the state of the CPU is idle or not.

Hence split the use of that function based on the desired return value,
by introducing the available_idle_cpu() function.

This fixes a (slight) regression in that initial vCPU commit, because
some code paths (like the load-balancer) don't care and shouldn't care
if the vCPU is preempted or not, they just want to know if there's any
tasks on the CPU.

1378447598 sched/numa: Stagger NUMA balancing scan periods for new threads
Threads share an address space and each can change the protections of the
same address space to trap NUMA faults. This is redundant and potentially
counter-productive as any thread doing the update will suffice. Potentially
only one thread is required but that thread may be idle or it may not have
any locality concerns and pick an unsuitable scan rate.

This patch uses independent scan period but they are staggered based on
the number of address space users when the thread is created.  The intent
is that threads will avoid scanning at the same time and have a chance
to adapt their scan rate later if necessary. This reduces the total scan
activity early in the lifetime of the threads.

The different in headline performance across a range of machines and
workloads is marginal but the system CPU usage is reduced as well as overall
scan activity.  The following is the time reported by NAS Parallel Benchmark
using unbound openmp threads and a D size class:

			      4.17.0-rc1             4.17.0-rc1
				 vanilla           stagger-v1r1
	Time bt.D      442.77 (   0.00%)      419.70 (   5.21%)

	Time ua.D      400.58 (   0.00%)      386.49 (   3.52%)

Note it's not a universal win but we have no prior knowledge of which
thread matters but the number of threads created often exceeds the size
of the node when the threads are not bound. However, there is a reducation
of overall system CPU usage:

but scan activity is reduced by a third on a 4-socket box. I didn't find
a workload (thread intensive or otherwise) that suffered badly.

247f2f6f3c sched/core: Don't schedule threads on pre-empted vCPUs
In paravirt configurations today, spinlocks figure out whether a vCPU is
running to determine whether or not spinlock should bother spinning. We
can use the same logic to prioritize CPUs when scheduling threads. If a
vCPU has been pre-empted, it will incur the extra cost of VMENTER and
the time it actually spends to be running on the host CPU. If we had
other vCPUs which were actually running on the host CPU and idle we
should schedule threads there.

Performance numbers:

patch is referred to as Base.

b5bf9a90bb sched/core: Introduce set_special_state()
Gaurav reported a perceived problem with TASK_PARKED, which turned out
to be a broken wait-loop pattern in __kthread_parkme(), but the
reported issue can (and does) in fact happen for states that do not do
condition based sleeps.

When the 'current->state = TASK_RUNNING' store of a previous
(concurrent) try_to_wake_up() collides with the setting of a 'special'
sleep state, we can loose the sleep state.

Normal condition based wait-loops are immune to this problem, but for
sleep states that are not condition based are subject to this problem.

There already is a fix for TASK_DEAD. Abstract that and also apply it
to TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED, both of which are also without
condition based wait-loop.

85f1abe001 kthread, sched/wait: Fix kthread_parkme() completion issue
Even with the wait-loop fixed, there is a further issue with
kthread_parkme(). Upon hotplug, when we do takedown_cpu(),
smpboot_park_threads() can return before all those threads are in fact
blocked, due to the placement of the complete() in __kthread_parkme().

When that happens, sched_cpu_dying() -> migrate_tasks() can end up
migrating such a still runnable task onto another CPU.

Normally the task will have hit schedule() and gone to sleep by the
time we do kthread_unpark(), which will then do __kthread_bind() to
re-bind the task to the correct CPU.

However, when we loose the initial TASK_PARKED store to the concurrent
wakeup issue described previously, do the complete(), get migrated, it
is possible to either:

 - observe kthread_unpark()'s clearing of SHOULD_PARK and terminate
   the park and set TASK_RUNNING, or

 - __kthread_bind()'s wait_task_inactive() to observe the competing
   TASK_RUNNING store.

Either way the WARN() in __kthread_bind() will trigger and fail to
correctly set the CPU affinity.

Fix this by only issuing the complete() when the kthread has scheduled
out. This does away with all the icky 'still running' nonsense.

The alternative is to promote TASK_PARKED to a special state, this
guarantees wait_task_inactive() cannot observe a 'stale' TASK_RUNNING
and we'll end up doing the right thing, but this preserves the whole
icky business of potentially migating the still runnable thing.

3eda69c92d kernel/fork.c: detect early free of a live mm
KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then
continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results.  This is
likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far
the culprit remains elusive.

Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current
task, similar to the existing check for init_mm.  This way, we can catch
this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN.

Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to
init_mm.  This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we
must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.

642e7fd233 Merge branch 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux
Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
 "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
  Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
  compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
  syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.

  At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
  v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
  better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
  there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
  which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
  means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
  specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
  filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
  time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
  x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
  future.

  Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
  data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
  generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
  code.

  This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
  kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
  three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
  kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"
