8236d907ab sched: Reduce contention in update_cfs_rq_blocked_load()
When running workloads on 2+ socket systems, based on perf profiles, the
update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() function often shows up as taking up a
noticeable % of run time.

Much of the contention is in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() when we
update the tg load contribution stats.  However, it turns out that in many
cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0.

This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating
tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated. This reduces the
cacheline contention that would be unnecessary.

5cd038f53e sched: Migrate waking tasks
Current code can fail to migrate a waking task (silently) when TTWU_QUEUE is
enabled.

When a task is waking, it is pending on the wake_list of the rq, but it is not
queued (task->on_rq == 0). In this case, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and
__migrate_task() will not migrate it because its invisible to them.

This behavior is incorrect, because the task has been already woken, it will be
running on the wrong CPU without correct placement until the next wake-up or
update for cpus_allowed.

To fix this problem, we need to finish the wakeup (so they appear on
the runqueue) before we migrate them.

eb1b4af0a6 sched, time: Atomically increment stime & utime
The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs.

This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and
other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be
multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or
stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value.

Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately
overwritten with a smaller value by another thread.

Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time
progresses monotonically.

e78c349679 time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlock
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.

The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).

Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.

This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.

In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().

This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

90ed9cbe76 exit: Always reap resource stats in __exit_signal()
Oleg pointed out that wait_task_zombie adds a task's usage statistics
to the parent's signal struct, but the task's own signal struct should
also propagate the statistics at exit time.

This allows thread_group_cputime(reaped_zombie) to get the statistics
after __unhash_process() has made the task invisible to for_each_thread,
but before the thread has actually been rcu freed, making sure no
non-monotonic results are returned inside that window.

1d082fd061 rcu: Remove local_irq_disable() in rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
The rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() function is on a scheduling fast
path, so it would be good to avoid disabling irqs.  The reason that irqs
are disabled is to synchronize process-level and irq-handler access to
the task_struct ->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask.  This commit therefore
makes ->rcu_read_unlock_special instead be a union of bools with a short
allowing single-access checks in RCU's __rcu_read_unlock().  This results
in the process-level and irq-handler accesses being simple loads and
stores, so that irqs need no longer be disabled.  This commit therefore
removes the irq disabling from rcu_preempt_note_context_switch().

176f8f7a52 rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle nohz_full= CPUs
Currently TASKS_RCU would ignore a CPU running a task in nohz_full=
usermode execution.  There would be neither a context switch nor a
scheduling-clock interrupt to tell TASKS_RCU that the task in question
had passed through a quiescent state.  The grace period would therefore
extend indefinitely.  This commit therefore makes RCU's dyntick-idle
subsystem record the task_struct structure of the task that is running
in dyntick-idle mode on each CPU.  The TASKS_RCU grace period can
then access this information and record a quiescent state on
behalf of any CPU running in dyntick-idle usermode.

3f95aa81d2 rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle tasks that are almost done exiting
Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it
is no longer on the task lists, and is therefore no longer visible
to rcu_tasks_kthread().  This means that an almost-exited task might
be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited
on by rcu_tasks_kthread().  This commit fixes this bug by adding an
srcu_struct.  An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling
exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after
doing the final preempt_disable().  This means that rcu_tasks_kthread()
can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach
their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched()
to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.

bde6c3aa99 rcu: Provide cond_resched_rcu_qs() to force quiescent states in long loops
RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks.  In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched().  However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.

This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks.  Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

8315f42295 rcu: Add call_rcu_tasks()
This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides
call_rcu_tasks().  This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary
context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle
loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the
idle tasks.  Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states
occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs.  Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt.

This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant
updaters.  This assumption permits significant simplifications, including
a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along
with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not
yet passed through a quiescent state.  If experience shows this assumption
to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added.

cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers

up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods.  The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

idle time and under stress induced by rcutorture.

Idle:

Total:66000, unnecessary:66000, case1:61827, case2:66000, case3:0
Total:68000, unnecessary:68000, case1:63696, case2:68000, case3:0

rcutorture:

Total:254000, unnecessary:254000, case1:199913, case2:254000, case3:0
Total:256000, unnecessary:256000, case1:201784, case2:256000, case3:0

Here case{1-3} are the cases listed above. We can avoid these wake
ups by using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() to conditionally wake up the grace
period kthreads.

There is a comment about an implied barrier supplied by the wake_up()
logic.  This barrier is necessary for the awakened thread to see the
updated ->gp_flags.  This flag is always being updated with the root node
lock held. Also, the awakened thread tries to acquire the root node lock
before reading ->gp_flags because of which there is proper ordering.

Hence this commit tries to avoid calling wake_up() whenever we can by
using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function.

ade9862470 rcu: Make TINY_RCU tinier by putting error checks under #ifdef
The rcu_idle_enter_common() and rcu_idle_exit_common() functions contain
error checks that have to the best of my knowledge have never triggered
over the past several years.  These are nevertheless valuable when
creating new architectures or doing other low-level changes, so the
checks should not be deleted.  This commit instead places these checks
under #ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE so that they are executed only when
specifically requested.

The savings are significant:

	Before:

	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	   1749      39       0    1788     6fc /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/tiny.o
	    632     152       0     784     310 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/update.o
				   ----
				   2572

	After:

	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	   1281      37       0    1318     526 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/tiny.o
	    632     152       0     784     310 /tmp/b/kernel/rcu/update.o
				   ----
				   2102

This amounts to 470 bytes, or 18% of the original.

Switched from #ifdef to IS_ENABLED() on Josh Triplett's advice.

85b39d305b rcu: Uninline rcu_read_lock_held()
This commit uninlines rcu_read_lock_held(). According to "size vmlinux"
this saves 28549 in .text:

	- 5541731 3014560 14757888 23314179
	+ 5513182 3026848 14757888 23297918

Note: it looks as if the data grows by 12288 bytes but this is not true,
it does not actually grow. But .data starts with ALIGN(THREAD_SIZE) and
since .text shrinks the padding grows, and thus .data grows too as it
seen by /bin/size. diff System.map:

	- ffffffff81510000 D _sdata
	- ffffffff81510000 D init_thread_union
	+ ffffffff81509000 D _sdata
	+ ffffffff8150c000 D init_thread_union

Perhaps we can change vmlinux.lds.S to .data itself, so that /bin/size
can't "wrongly" report that .data grows if .text shinks.

177ef2a631 sched/deadline: Fix a precision problem in the microseconds range
An overrun could happen in function start_hrtick_dl()
when a task with SCHED_DEADLINE runs in the microseconds
range.

For example, if a task with SCHED_DEADLINE has the following parameters:

  Task  runtime  deadline  period
   P1   200us     500us    500us

The deadline and period from task P1 are less than 1ms.

In order to achieve microsecond precision, we need to enable HRTICK feature
by the next command:

  PC#echo "HRTICK" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
  PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch &
  PC#./schedtool -E -t 200000:500000:500000 -e ./test

The binary test is in an endless while(1) loop here.
Some pieces of trace.dat are as follows:

  <idle>-0   157.603157: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test
  test-2481  157.603203: sched_switch:  2481:R ==> 0:120: swapper/2
  <idle>-0   157.605657: sched_switch:  :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test
  test-2481  157.608183: sched_switch:  2481:R ==> 2483:120: trace-cmd
  trace-cmd-2483 157.609656: sched_switch:2483:R==>2481:4294967295: test

We can get the runtime of P1 from the information above:

  runtime = 157.608183 - 157.605657
  runtime = 0.002526(2.526ms)

The correct runtime should be less than or equal to 200us at some point.

The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 10000"
in function start_hrtick_dl().

Because no hrtimer start up to control the rest of runtime
when the reset of runtime is less than 10us.

So the process will continue to run until tick-period is coming.

Move the code with the limit of the least time slice
from hrtick_start_fair() to hrtick_start() because the
EDF schedule class also needs this function in start_hrtick_dl().

To fix this problem, we call hrtimer_start() unconditionally in
start_hrtick_dl(), and make sure the scheduling slice won't be smaller
than 10us in hrtimer_start().

9bf2419fa7 timekeeping: Update timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock
The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.

The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.

commit cbcf2dd3b3d4 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.

Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

60a3b2253c net: bpf: make eBPF interpreter images read-only
With eBPF getting more extended and exposure to user space is on it's way,
hardening the memory range the interpreter uses to steer its command flow
seems appropriate.  This patch moves the to be interpreted bytecode to
read-only pages.

In case we execute a corrupted BPF interpreter image for some reason e.g.
caused by an attacker which got past a verifier stage, it would not only
provide arbitrary read/write memory access but arbitrary function calls
as well. After setting up the BPF interpreter image, its contents do not
change until destruction time, thus we can setup the image on immutable
made pages in order to mitigate modifications to that code. The idea
is derived from commit 314beb9bcabf ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf jit
against spraying attacks").

This is possible because bpf_prog is not part of sk_filter anymore.
After setup bpf_prog cannot be altered during its life-time. This prevents
any modifications to the entire bpf_prog structure (incl. function/JIT
image pointer).

Every eBPF program (including classic BPF that are migrated) have to call
bpf_prog_select_runtime() to select either interpreter or a JIT image
as a last setup step, and they all are being freed via bpf_prog_free(),
including non-JIT. Therefore, we can easily integrate this into the
eBPF life-time, plus since we directly allocate a bpf_prog, we have no
performance penalty.

Tested with seccomp and test_bpf testsuite in JIT/non-JIT mode and manual
inspection of kernel_page_tables.  Brad Spengler proposed the same idea
via Twitter during development of this patch.

Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

35b123e2f7 sched/fair: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer.
According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment:

  "1.   This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer"

it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a
smaller overhead.
