- Energy scheduling:
- Consolidate how the max compute capacity is
used in the scheduler and how we calculate
the frequency for a level of utilization.
- Rework interface between the scheduler and
the schedutil governor
- Simplify the util_est logic
- Deadline scheduler:
- Work more towards reducing SCHED_DEADLINE
starvation of low priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER)
tasks when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU
cycles, via the introduction of 'deadline servers'
(nested/2-level scheduling).
"Fair servers" to make use of this facility are
not introduced yet.
- EEVDF:
- Introduce O(1) fastpath for EEVDF task selection
- NUMA balancing:
- Tune the NUMA-balancing vma scanning logic some more,
to better distribute the probability
of a particular vma getting scanned.
- Plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer
- Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/<pid>/maps for vma
files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
selftests
Cleanups:
- Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()
- Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0
- Clarify comment on access_override_creds()
- Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
helpers
- Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups
- Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
namespaces
- Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
belongs to fs/
- Simplify fput() for files that were never opened
- Get rid of various pointless file helpers
- Rename various file helpers
- Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
last cycle
- Make relatime_need_update() return bool
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks
- Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
counterparts
Fixes:
- Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**
- s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places
- Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()
- Rename i_mapping->private_data to i_mapping->i_private_data
- Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
queues
- Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance
- Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
pipe->max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
has been resized and hang
- Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus
- s/passs/pass/g in various places
- Fix kernel docs in ntfs
- Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14
- Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

- Fix readers that are blocked on the ring buffer when buffer_percent is
100%. They are supposed to wake up when the buffer is full, but
because the sub-buffer that the writer is on is never considered
"dirty" in the calculation, dirty pages will never equal nr_pages.
Add +1 to the dirty count in order to count for the sub-buffer that
the writer is on.
- When a reader is blocked on the "snapshot_raw" file, it is to be
woken up when a snapshot is done and be able to read the snapshot
buffer. But because the snapshot swaps the buffers (the main one
with the snapshot one), and the snapshot reader is waiting on the
old snapshot buffer, it was not woken up (because it is now on
the main buffer after the swap). Worse yet, when it reads the buffer
after a snapshot, it's not reading the snapshot buffer, it's reading
the live active main buffer.
Fix this by forcing a wakeup of all readers on the snapshot buffer when
a new snapshot happens, and then update the buffer that the reader
is reading to be back on the snapshot buffer.
- Fix the modification of the direct_function hash. There was a race
when new functions were added to the direct_function hash as when
it moved function entries from the old hash to the new one, a direct
function trace could be hit and not see its entry.
This is fixed by allocating the new hash, copy all the old entries
onto it as well as the new entries, and then use rcu_assign_pointer()
to update the new direct_function hash with it.
This also fixes a memory leak in that code.

moved function entries from the old hash to the new one, a direct
function trace could be hit and not see its entry.
This is fixed by allocating the new hash, copy all the old entries
onto it as well as the new entries, and then use rcu_assign_pointer()
to update the new direct_function hash with it.
This also fixes a memory leak in that code.

osq_wait_next() is passed 'prev' from osq_lock() and NULL from
osq_unlock() but only needs the 'cpu' value to write to lock->tail.
Just pass prev->cpu or OSQ_UNLOCKED_VAL instead.
Should have no effect on the generated code since gcc manages to assume
that 'prev != NULL' due to an earlier dereference.

Masami Hiramatsu reported a memory leak in register_ftrace_direct() where
if the number of new entries are added is large enough to cause two
allocations in the loop:
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
hlist_for_each_entry(entry, &hash->buckets[i], hlist) {
new = ftrace_add_rec_direct(entry->ip, addr, &free_hash);
if (!new)
goto out_remove;
entry->direct = addr;
}
}
Where ftrace_add_rec_direct() has:
if (ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ||
direct_functions->count > 2 * (1 << direct_functions->size_bits)) {
struct ftrace_hash *new_hash;
int size = ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ? 0 :
direct_functions->count + 1;
if (size < 32)
size = 32;
new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
if (!new_hash)
return NULL;
*free_hash = direct_functions;
direct_functions = new_hash;
}
The "*free_hash = direct_functions;" can happen twice, losing the previous
allocation of direct_functions.
But this also exposed a more serious bug.
The modification of direct_functions above is not safe. As
direct_functions can be referenced at any time to find what direct caller
it should call, the time between:
new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
and
direct_functions = new_hash;
can have a race with another CPU (or even this one if it gets interrupted),
and the entries being moved to the new hash are not referenced.
That's because the "dup_hash()" is really misnamed and is really a
"move_hash()". It moves the entries from the old hash to the new one.
Now even if that was changed, this code is not proper as direct_functions
should not be updated until the end. That is the best way to handle
function reference changes, and is the way other parts of ftrace handles
this.
The following is done:
1. Change add_hash_entry() to return the entry it created and inserted
into the hash, and not just return success or not.
2. Replace ftrace_add_rec_direct() with add_hash_entry(), and remove
the former.
3. Allocate a "new_hash" at the start that is made for holding both the
new hash entries as well as the existing entries in direct_functions.
4. Copy (not move) the direct_function entries over to the new_hash.
5. Copy the entries of the added hash to the new_hash.
6. If everything succeeds, then use rcu_pointer_assign() to update the
direct_functions with the new_hash.
This simplifies the code and fixes both the memory leak as well as the
race condition mentioned above.

If an application blocks on the snapshot or snapshot_raw files, expecting
to be woken up when a snapshot occurs, it will not happen. Or it may
happen with an unexpected result.
That result is that the application will be reading the main buffer
instead of the snapshot buffer. That is because when the snapshot occurs,
the main and snapshot buffers are swapped. But the reader has a descriptor
still pointing to the buffer that it originally connected to.
This is fine for the main buffer readers, as they may be blocked waiting
for a watermark to be hit, and when a snapshot occurs, the data that the
main readers want is now on the snapshot buffer.
But for waiters of the snapshot buffer, they are waiting for an event to
occur that will trigger the snapshot and they can then consume it quickly
to save the snapshot before the next snapshot occurs. But to do this, they
need to read the new snapshot buffer, not the old one that is now
receiving new data.
Also, it does not make sense to have a watermark "buffer_percent" on the
snapshot buffer, as the snapshot buffer is static and does not receive new
data except all at once.

The tracefs file "buffer_percent" is to allow user space to set a
water-mark on how much of the tracing ring buffer needs to be filled in
order to wake up a blocked reader.
0 - is to wait until any data is in the buffer
1 - is to wait for 1% of the sub buffers to be filled
50 - would be half of the sub buffers are filled with data
100 - is not to wake the waiter until the ring buffer is completely full
Unfortunately the test for being full was:
dirty = ring_buffer_nr_dirty_pages(buffer, cpu);
return (dirty * 100) > (full * nr_pages);
Where "full" is the value for "buffer_percent".
There is two issues with the above when full == 100.
1. dirty * 100 > 100 * nr_pages will never be true
That is, the above is basically saying that if the user sets
buffer_percent to 100, more pages need to be dirty than exist in the
ring buffer!
2. The page that the writer is on is never considered dirty, as dirty
pages are only those that are full. When the writer goes to a new
sub-buffer, it clears the contents of that sub-buffer.
That is, even if the check was ">=" it would still not be equal as the
most pages that can be considered "dirty" is nr_pages - 1.
To fix this, add one to dirty and use ">=" in the compare.

When a CPU is taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups'
load may remain and will negatively impact the calculation of the share of
the online CPUs.
To fix this bug, clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups'
load and skip its contribution while it is inactive.
Here's the reproducer of the anomaly, by Imran Khan:
"So far I have encountered only one rather lengthy way of reproducing this issue,
which is as follows:
1. Take a KVM guest (booted with 4 CPUs and can be scaled up to 124 CPUs) and
create 2 custom cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/
cpu/test_group_2
2. Assign a CPU intensive workload to each of these cgroups and start the
workload.
For my tests I am using following app:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long count, i, val;
if (argc != 2) {
printf("usage: ./a.out <number of random nums to generate> \n");
return 0;
}
count = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10);
printf("Generating %lu random numbers \n", count);
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
val = rand();
val = val % 2;
//usleep(1);
}
printf("Generated %lu random numbers \n", count);
return 0;
}
Also since the system is booted with 4 CPUs, in order to completely load the
system I am also launching 4 instances of same test app under:
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/
3. We can see that both of the cgroups get similar CPU time:
# systemd-cgtop --depth 1
Path Tasks %CPU Memory Input/s Output/s
/ 659 - 5.5G - -

4. Now move systemd-udevd to one of these test groups, say test_group_1, and
perform scale up to 124 CPUs followed by scale down back to 4 CPUs from the
host side.
5. Run the same workload i.e 4 instances of CPU hogger under /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
and one instance of CPU hogger each in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and
/sys/fs/cgroup/test_group_2.
It can be seen that test_group_1 (the one where systemd-udevd was moved) is getting
much less CPU time than the test_group_2, even though at this point of time both of
these groups have only CPU hogger running:

From sched_debug data it can be seen that in bad case the load.weight of per-CPU
sched entities corresponding to test_group_1 has reduced significantly and
also load_avg of test_group_1 remains much higher than that of test_group_2,
even though systemd-udevd stopped running long time back and at this point of
time both cgroups just have the CPU hogger app as running entity."

Running N CPU-bound tasks on an N CPUs platform:
- with asymmetric CPU capacity
- not being a DynamIq system (i.e. having a PKG level sched domain
without the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set)
.. might result in a task placement where two tasks run on a big CPU
and none on a little CPU. This placement could be more optimal by
using all CPUs.
Testing platform:
Juno-r2:
- 2 big CPUs (1-2), maximum capacity of 1024
- 4 little CPUs (0,3-5), maximum capacity of 383
Testing workload ([1]):
Spawn 6 CPU-bound tasks. During the first 100ms (step 1), each tasks
is affine to a CPU, except for:
- one little CPU which is left idle.
- one big CPU which has 2 tasks affine.
After the 100ms (step 2), remove the cpumask affinity.
Behavior before the patch:
During step 2, the load balancer running from the idle CPU tags sched
domains as:
- little CPUs: 'group_has_spare'. Cf. group_has_capacity() and
group_is_overloaded(), 3 CPU-bound tasks run on a 4 CPUs
sched-domain, and the idle CPU provides enough spare capacity
regarding the imbalance_pct
- big CPUs: 'group_overloaded'. Indeed, 3 tasks run on a 2 CPUs
sched-domain, so the following path is used:
group_is_overloaded()
\-if (sgs->sum_nr_running <= sgs->group_weight) return true;
The following path which would change the migration type to
'migrate_task' is not taken:
calculate_imbalance()
\-if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->imbalance == 0)
as the local group has some spare capacity, so the imbalance
is not 0.
The migration type requested is 'migrate_util' and the busiest
runqueue is the big CPU's runqueue having 2 tasks (each having a
utilization of 512). The idle little CPU cannot pull one of these
task as its capacity is too small for the task. The following path
is used:
detach_tasks()
\-case migrate_util:
\-if (util > env->imbalance) goto next;
After the patch:
As the number of failed balancing attempts grows (with
'nr_balance_failed'), progressively make it easier to migrate
a big task to the idling little CPU. A similar mechanism is
used for the 'migrate_load' migration type.
Improvement:
Running the testing workload [1] with the step 2 representing
a ~10s load for a big CPU:
Before patch: ~19.3s
After patch: ~18s (-6.7%)

When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231220 (experimental)

Since 'n' and 'size' arguments of 'kcalloc()' are multiplied to
calculate the final size, their actual order doesn't affect the
result and so this is not a bug. But it's still worth to fix it.

Only the posix timer system calls use this (when the posix timer support
is disabled, which does not actually happen in any normal case), because
they had debug code to print out a warning about missing system calls.
Get rid of that special case, and just use the standard COND_SYSCALL
interface that creates weak system call stubs that return -ENOSYS for
when the system call does not exist.
This fixes a kCFI issue with the SYS_NI() hackery:

All other users of crypto code use 'select' instead of 'depends on', so do
the same thing with KEXEC_FILE for consistency.
In practice this makes very little difference as kernels with kexec
support are very likely to also include some other feature that already
selects both crypto and crypto_sha256, but being consistent here helps for
usability as well as to avoid potential circular dependencies.
This reverts the dependency back to what it was originally before commit
74ca317c26a3f ("kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for
new syscall"), which changed changed it with the comment "This should be
safer as "select" is not recursive", but that appears to have been done in
error, as "select" is indeed recursive, and there are no other
dependencies that prevent CRYPTO_SHA256 from being selected here.

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'
Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already. On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.
Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available. This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.
On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance. Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd357 ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").

When no timer is queued into an empty timer base, the next_expiry will not
be updated. It was originally calculated as
base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA
When the timer base stays empty long enough (> NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA), the
next_expiry value of the empty base suggests that there is a timer pending
soon. This might be more a kind of a theoretical problem, but the fix
doesn't hurt.
Use only base->next_expiry value as nextevt when timers are
pending. Otherwise nextevt will be jiffies + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA. As all
information is in place, update base->next_expiry value of the empty timer
base as well.

about timer base idle marking.
Thereby the following subtle change happens if the next event is just one
jiffy ahead and the tick was already stopped: Originally base->is_idle
remains true in this situation. Now base->is_idle turns to false. This may

While working on the ring buffer, I found one more bug with the timestamp
code, and the fix for this removed the need for the final 64-bit cmpxchg!
The ring buffer events hold a "delta" from the previous event. If it is
determined that the delta can not be calculated, it falls back to adding an
absolute timestamp value. The way to know if the delta can be used is via
two stored timestamps in the per-cpu buffer meta data:
before_stamp and write_stamp
The before_stamp is written by every event before it tries to allocate its
space on the ring buffer. The write_stamp is written after it allocates its
space and knows that nothing came in after it read the previous
before_stamp and write_stamp and the two matched.
A previous fix dd9394257078 ("ring-buffer: Do not try to put back
write_stamp") removed putting back the write_stamp to match the
before_stamp so that the next event could use the delta, but races were
found where the two would match, but not be for of the previous event.
It was determined to allow the event reservation to not have a valid
write_stamp when it is finished, and this fixed a lot of races.
The last use of the 64-bit timestamp cmpxchg depended on the write_stamp
being valid after an interruption. But this is no longer the case, as if an
event is interrupted by a softirq that writes an event, and that event gets
interrupted by a hardirq or NMI and that writes an event, then the softirq
could finish its reservation without a valid write_stamp.
In the slow path of the event reservation, a delta can still be used if the
write_stamp is valid. Instead of using a cmpxchg against the write stamp,
the before_stamp needs to be read again to validate the write_stamp. The
cmpxchg is not needed.
This updates the slowpath to validate the write_stamp by comparing it to
the before_stamp and removes all rb_time_cmpxchg() as there are no more
users of that function.
The removal of the 32-bit updates of rb_time_t will be done in the next
merge window.

ring-buffer: Fix slowpath of interrupted event
To synchronize the timestamps with the ring buffer reservation, there are
two timestamps that are saved in the buffer meta data.
1. before_stamp
2. write_stamp
When the two are equal, the write_stamp is considered valid, as in, it may
be used to calculate the delta of the next event as the write_stamp is the
timestamp of the previous reserved event on the buffer.
This is done by the following:
/*A*/ w = current position on the ring buffer
before = before_stamp
after = write_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
if (before != after) {
write_stamp is not valid, force adding an absolute
timestamp.
}
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts
/*C*/ write = local_add_return(event length, position on ring buffer)
if (w == write - event length) {
/* Nothing interrupted between A and C */
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts;
delta = ts - after
/*
* If nothing interrupted again,
* before_stamp == write_stamp and write_stamp
* can be used to calculate the delta for
* events that come in after this one.
*/
} else {
/*
* The slow path!
* Was interrupted between A and C.
*/
This is the place that there's a bug. We currently have:
after = write_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
/*F*/ if (write == current position on the ring buffer &&
after < ts && cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, ts)) {
delta = ts - after;
} else {
delta = 0;
}
The assumption is that if the current position on the ring buffer hasn't
moved between C and F, then it also was not interrupted, and that the last
event written has a timestamp that matches the write_stamp. That is the
write_stamp is valid.
But this may not be the case:
If a task context event was interrupted by softirq between B and C.
And the softirq wrote an event that got interrupted by a hard irq between
C and E.
and the hard irq wrote an event (does not need to be interrupted)
We have:
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of normal context
---> interrupted by softirq
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of softirq context
---> interrupted by hardirq
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of hard irq context
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts of hard irq context
/* matches and write_stamp valid */
<----
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts of softirq context
/* No longer matches before_stamp, write_stamp is not valid! */
<---
w != write - length, go to slow path
// Right now the order of events in the ring buffer is:
//
// |-- softirq event --|-- hard irq event --|-- normal context event --|
//
after = write_stamp (this is the ts of softirq)
ts = read current timestamp
if (write == current position on the ring buffer [true] &&
after < ts [true] && cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, ts) [true]) {
delta = ts - after [Wrong!]
The delta is to be between the hard irq event and the normal context
event, but the above logic made the delta between the softirq event and
the normal context event, where the hard irq event is between the two. This
will shift all the remaining event timestamps on the sub-buffer
incorrectly.
The write_stamp is only valid if it matches the before_stamp. The cmpxchg
does nothing to help this.
Instead, the following logic can be done to fix this:
before = before_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
before_stamp = ts
after = write_stamp
if (write == current position on the ring buffer &&
after == before && after < ts) {
delta = ts - after
} else {
delta = 0;
}
The above will only use the write_stamp if it still matches before_stamp
and was tested to not have changed since C.
As a bonus, with this logic we do not need any 64-bit cmpxchg() at all!
This means the 32-bit rb_time_t workaround can finally be removed. But
that's for a later time.
