01f6474ce0 cgroup: nest kernfs active protection under cgroup_mutex
After the recent cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes, cgroup_mutex is no
longer nested below kernfs active protection.  The two don't have any
relationship now.

This patch nests kernfs active protection under cgroup_mutex.  All
cftype operations now require both cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex,
temporary cgroup_mutex releases over kernfs operations are removed,
and cgroup_add/rm_cftypes() grab both mutexes.

This makes cgroup_tree_mutex redundant, which will be removed by the
next patch.

e76ecaeef6 cgroup: use cgroup_kn_lock_live() in other cgroup kernfs methods
Make __cgroup_procs_write() and cgroup_release_agent_write() use
cgroup_kn_lock_live() and cgroup_kn_unlock() instead of
cgroup_lock_live_group().  This puts the operations under both
cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex protection without circular
dependency from kernfs active protection.  Also, this means that
cgroup_mutex is no longer nested below kernfs active protection.
There is no longer any place where the two locks interact.

This leaves cgroup_lock_live_group() without any user.  Removed.

This will help simplifying cgroup locking.

a9746d8da7 cgroup: factor out cgroup_kn_lock_live() and cgroup_kn_unlock()
cgroup_mkdir(), cgroup_rmdir() and cgroup_subtree_control_write()
share the logic to break active protection so that they can grab
cgroup_tree_mutex which nests above active protection and/or remove
self.  Factor out this logic into cgroup_kn_lock_live() and
cgroup_kn_unlock().

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

cfc79d5bec cgroup: move cgroup->kn->priv clearing to cgroup_rmdir()
The ->priv field of a cgroup directory kernfs_node points back to the
cgroup.  This field is RCU cleared in cgroup_destroy_locked() for
non-kernfs accesses from css_tryget_from_dir() and
cgroupstats_build().

As these are only applicable to cgroups which finished creation
successfully and fully initialized cgroups are always removed by
cgroup_rmdir(), this can be safely moved to the end of cgroup_rmdir().

This will help simplifying cgroup locking and shouldn't introduce any
behavior difference.

ba0f4d7615 cgroup: reorganize cgroup_create()
Reorganize cgroup_create() so that all paths share unlock out path.

* All err_* labels are renamed to out_* as they're now shared by both
  success and failure paths.

* @err renamed to @ret for the similar reason as above and so that
  it's more consistent with other functions.

* cgroup memory allocation moved after locking so that freeing failed
  cgroup happens before unlocking.  While this moves more code inside
  critical section, memory allocations inside cgroup locking are
  already pretty common and this is unlikely to make any noticeable
  difference.

* While at it, replace a stray @parent->root dereference with @root.

This reorganization will help simplifying locking.

Now that cgroup_subtree_control_write() has access to the associated

acbef755f4 cgroup: convert "tasks" and "cgroup.procs" handle to use cftype->write()
cgroup_tasks_write() and cgroup_procs_write() are currently using
cftype->write_u64().  This patch converts them to use cftype->write()
instead.  This allows access to the associated kernfs_open_file which
will be necessary to implement the planned kernfs active protection
manipulation for these files.

This shifts buffer parsing to attach_task_by_pid() and makes it return
@nbytes on success.  Let's rename it to __cgroup_procs_write() to
clearly indicate that this is a write handler implementation.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

451af504df cgroup: replace cftype->write_string() with cftype->write()
Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts.  The conversions are mostly mechanical.

* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
  respectively instead of being specified as arguments.

* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.

* @buf is not trimmed automatically.  Trim if necessary.  Note that
  blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
  whitespaces.

cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.

While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

v2: netprio was missing from conversion.  Converted.

b41686401e cgroup: implement cftype->write()
During the recent conversion to kernfs, cftype's seq_file operations
are updated so that they are directly mapped to kernfs operations and
thus can fully access the associated kernfs and cgroup contexts;
however, write path hasn't seen similar updates and none of the
existing write operations has access to, for example, the associated
kernfs_open_file.

Let's introduce a new operation cftype->write() which maps directly to
the kernfs write operation and has access to all the arguments and
contexts.  This will replace ->write_string() and ->trigger() and ease
manipulation of kernfs active protection from cgroup file operations.

Two accessors - of_cft() and of_css() - are introduced to enable
accessing the associated cgroup context from cftype->write() which
only takes kernfs_open_file for the context information.  The
accessors for seq_file operations - seq_cft() and seq_css() - are
rewritten to wrap the of_ accessors.

ec903c0c85 cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()
Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero.  cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero.  Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.

I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.

Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir().  This is pure rename.

v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget().  Update
    accordingly.

After waiting for a child to finish offline,
cgroup_subtree_control_write() jumps up to retry from after the input
parsing and active protection breaking.  This retry makes the

difficult.  Let's simplify it by returning with restart_syscall() for
retries.

d37167ab7b cgroup: update and fix parsing of "cgroup.subtree_control"
I was confused that strsep() was equivalent to strtok_r() in skipping
over consecutive delimiters.  strsep() just splits at the first
occurrence of one of the delimiters which makes the parsing very
inflexible, which makes allowing multiple whitespace chars as
delimters kinda moot.  Let's just be consistently strict and require
list of tokens separated by spaces.  This is what
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt describes too.

Also, parsing may access beyond the end of the string if the string
ends with spaces or is zero-length.  Make sure it skips zero-length
tokens.  Note that this also ensures that the parser doesn't puke on
multiple consecutive spaces.

v2: Add zero-length token skipping.

v3: Added missing space after "==".  Spotted by Li.

0ab7a60dea cgroup: css_release() shouldn't clear cgroup->subsys[]
c1a71504e971 ("cgroup: don't recycle cgroup id until all csses' have
been destroyed") made cgroup ID persist until a cgroup is released and
add cgroup->subsys[] clearing to css_release() so that css_from_id()
doesn't return a css which has already been released which happens
before cgroup release; however, the right change here was updating
offline_css() to clear cgroup->subsys[] which was done by e32978031016
("cgroup: cgroup->subsys[] should be cleared after the css is
offlined") instead of clearing it from css_release().

We're now clearing cgroup->subsys[] twice.  This is okay for
traditional hierarchies as a css's lifetime is the same as its
cgroup's; however, this confuses unified hierarchy and turning on and
off a controller repeatedly using "cgroup.subtree_control" can lead to
an oops like the following which happens because cgroup->subsys[] is
incorrectly cleared asynchronously by css_release().

freezer->lock used to be used in hot paths but that time is long gone
and there's no reason for the lock to be IRQ-safe spinlock or even
per-cgroup.  In fact, given the fact that a cgroup may contain large
number of tasks, it's not a good idea to iterate over them while
holding IRQ-safe spinlock.

Let's simplify locking by replacing per-cgroup freezer->lock with
global freezer_mutex.  This also makes the comments explaining the
intricacies of policy inheritance and the locking around it as the
states are protected by a common mutex.

The conversion is mostly straight-forward.  The followings are worth
mentioning.

* freezer_css_online() no longer needs double locking.

* freezer_attach() now performs propagation simply while holding
  freezer_mutex.  update_if_frozen() race no longer exists and the
  comment is removed.

* freezer_fork() now tests whether the task is in root cgroup using
  the new task_css_is_root() without doing rcu_read_lock/unlock().  If
  not, it grabs freezer_mutex and performs the operation.

* freezer_read() and freezer_change_state() grab freezer_mutex across
  the whole operation and pin the css while iterating so that each
  descendant processing happens in sleepable context.

which never changes.

Implement task_css_is_root() which can be invoked in any context.
This will be used by the scheduled cgroup_freezer change.

v2: cgroup no longer supports modular controllers.  No need to export
    init_css_set.  Pointed out by Li.

ea54bca3aa ntp: Make is_error_status() use its argument
is_error_status() is an inline function always called with the
global time_status as an argument, so there's zero functional
difference with this change, but the non-CONFIG_NTP_PPS version
uses the passed-in argument, while the CONFIG_NTP_PPS one ignores
its argument and uses the global.

Looks like is_error_status was refactored out, but someone forgot
to change the logic to check the local argument value.

Thus this patch makes it use the argument always; shorter variable
names are good.

The netlink conflict dealt with moving to netlink_capable() and
netlink_ns_capable() in the 'net' tree vs. supporting 'tc' operations
in non-init namespaces.  These were simple transformations from
netlink_capable to netlink_ns_capable.

The Altera driver conflict was simply code removal overlapping some

84ea7fe379 hrtimer: Set expiry time before switch_hrtimer_base()
switch_hrtimer_base() calls hrtimer_check_target() which ensures that
we do not migrate a timer to a remote cpu if the timer expires before
the current programmed expiry time on that remote cpu.

But __hrtimer_start_range_ns() calls switch_hrtimer_base() before the
new expiry time is set. So the sanity check in hrtimer_check_target()
is operating on stale or even uninitialized data.

Update expiry time before calling switch_hrtimer_base().

Commit de7b2973903c "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash
for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling
release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly
allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race
window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a
"use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in
stress-tests.

fd99f91aa0 sched/idle: Avoid spurious wakeup IPIs
Because mwait_idle_with_hints() gets called from !idle context it must
call current_clr_polling(). This however means that resched_task() is
very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling:

  CPU0					CPU1

  if (current_set_polling_and_test())
    goto out;

  __monitor(&ti->flags);
  if (!need_resched())
    __mwait(eax, ecx);
					set_tsk_need_resched(p);
					smp_mb();
out:
  current_clr_polling();
					if (!tsk_is_polling(p))
					  smp_send_reschedule(cpu);

So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed
IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some).

Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED
and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set.

Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word,
contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly
succeed in a single go.

Commit 38b435b16c36 ("perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events")
states that we need to destroy groups for inherited events, but it
doesn't make any sense to not also destroy groups for normal events.

And while it usually makes no difference (the normal events won't
leak, and its very likely all the group events will die in quick
succession) it does make the code more consistent and closes a
potential hole for trouble.

39a4d9ca77 sched/fair: Stop searching for tasks in newidle balance if there are runnable tasks
It was found that when running some workloads (such as AIM7) on large
systems with many cores, CPUs do not remain idle for long. Thus, tasks
can wake/get enqueued while doing idle balancing.

In this patch, while traversing the domains in idle balance, in
addition to checking for pulled_task, we add an extra check for
this_rq->nr_running for determining if we should stop searching for
tasks to pull. If there are runnable tasks on this rq, then we will
stop traversing the domains. This reduces the chance that idle balance
delays a task from running.

This patch resulted in approximately a 6% performance improvement when
running a Java Server workload on an 8 socket machine.

A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is created to reflect whether groups of CPUs
in a sched_domain level can or not reach different power state. As an example,
the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated
independently. This information can be used in the load balance decision or to
add load balancing level between group of CPUs that can power gate
independantly.
This flag is part of the topology flags that can be set by arch.

143e1e28cb sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition
We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method
which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed).

We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform
that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can
be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load
balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags
configuration of some levels.

For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu,
a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags
that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology
flags are:

 SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER
 SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
 SD_NUMA
 SD_ASYM_PACKING

Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the
sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU
and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for
load balancing than its children.

68d1b02a58 sched/numa: Do not set preferred_node on migration to a second choice node
Setting the numa_preferred_node for a task in task_numa_migrate
does nothing on a 2-node system. Either we migrate to the node
that already was our preferred node, or we stay where we were.

On a 4-node system, it can slightly decrease overhead, by not
calling the NUMA code as much. Since every node tends to be
directly connected to every other node, running on the wrong
node for a while does not do much damage.

However, on an 8 node system, there are far more bad nodes
than there are good ones, and pretending that a second choice
is actually the preferred node can greatly delay, or even
prevent, a workload from converging.

The only time we can safely pretend that a second choice
node is the preferred node is when the task is part of a
workload that spans multiple NUMA nodes.
