a1cecf2ba7 sched/cputime: Introduce special task_cputime_t() API to return old-typed cputime
This API returns a task's cputime in cputime_t in order to ease the
conversion of cputime internals to use nsecs units instead. Blindly
converting all cputime readers to use this API now will later let us
convert more smoothly and step by step all these places to use the
new nsec based cputime.

7fb1327ee9 sched/cputime: Convert kcpustat to nsecs
Kernel CPU stats are stored in cputime_t which is an architecture
defined type, and hence a bit opaque and requiring accessors and mutators
for any operation.

Converting them to nsecs simplifies the code and is one step toward
the removal of cputime_t in the core code.

c6c70f4455 exit: fix the setns() && PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER interaction
find_new_reaper() checks same_thread_group(reaper, child_reaper) to
prevent the cross-namespace reparenting but this is not enough if the
exiting parent was injected by setns() + fork().

Suppose we have a process P in the root namespace and some namespace X.
P does setns() to enter the X namespace, and forks the child C.
C forks a grandchild G and exits.

The grandchild G should be re-parented to X->child_reaper, but in this
case the ->real_parent chain does not lead to ->child_reaper, so it will
be wrongly reparanted to P's sub-reaper or a global init.

79c6f448c8 tracing: Fix hwlat kthread migration
The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is
pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of
running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not
change after that happens.

The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called,
but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished,
and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was
established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the
initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and
the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making
it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and
the thread failed to migrate again.

08d85f3ea9 irqdomain: Avoid activating interrupts more than once
Since commit f3b0946d62 ("genirq/msi: Make sure PCI MSIs are
activated early"), we can end-up activating a PCI/MSI twice (once
at allocation time, and once at startup time).

This is normally of no consequences, except that there is some
HW out there that may misbehave if activate is used more than once
(the GICv3 ITS, for example, uses the activate callback
to issue the MAPVI command, and the architecture spec says that
"If there is an existing mapping for the EventID-DeviceID
combination, behavior is UNPREDICTABLE").

While this could be worked around in each individual driver, it may
make more sense to tackle the issue at the core level. In order to
avoid getting in that situation, let's have a per-interrupt flag
to remember if we have already activated that interrupt or not.

40999312c7 perf/core: Try parent PMU first when initializing a child event
perf has additional overhead when monitoring the task which
frequently generates child tasks.

perf_init_event() is one of the hotspots for the additional overhead:

Currently, to get the PMU, it tries to search the type in pmu_idr at
first. But it is not always successful, especially for the widely used
PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE events. So it has to go to the
slow path which go through the whole PMUs list.

It will be a big performance issue, if the PMUs list is long (e.g. server
with many uncore boxes) and the task frequently generates child tasks.

The child event inherits its parent event. So the child event should
try its parent PMU first.

Here is some data from the overhead test on Broadwell server:

  perf record -e $TEST_EVENTS -- ./loop.sh 50000

  loop.sh
    start=$(date +%s%N)
    i=0
    while [ "$i" -le "$1" ]
    do
            date > /dev/null
            i=`expr $i + 1`
    done
    end=$(date +%s%N)
    elapsed=`expr $end - $start`

  Event#	Original elapsed time	Elapsed time with patch		delta
  1		196,573,192,397		189,162,029,998			-3.77%
  2		257,567,753,013		241,620,788,683			-6.19%
  4		398,730,726,971		370,518,938,714			-7.08%
  8		824,983,761,120		740,702,489,329			-10.22%
  16		1,883,411,923,498	1,672,027,508,355		-11.22%

... which shows a nice performance improvement.

487f05e18a perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts
When new events are added to an active context, we go and reschedule
all cpu groups and all task groups in order to preserve the priority
(cpu pinned, task pinned, cpu flexible, task flexible), but in
reality we only need to reschedule groups of the same priority as
that of the events being added, and below.

This patch changes the behavior so that only groups that need to be
rescheduled are rescheduled.

In the sched-in path, we first remove a CPU's flexible events in order to
give priority to the task's pinned events. However, this step can be safely
skipped if the task doesn't have its own pinned events.

This patch implements this skipping.

1fd7e41699 perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu
cpuctx->unique_pmu was originally introduced as a way to identify cpuctxs
with shared pmus in order to avoid visiting the same cpuctx more than once
in a for_each_pmu loop.

cpuctx->unique_pmu == cpuctx->pmu in non-software task contexts since they
have only one pmu per cpuctx. Since perf_pmu_sched_task() is only called in
hw contexts, this patch replaces cpuctx->unique_pmu by cpuctx->pmu in it.

The change above, together with the previous patch in this series, removed
the remaining uses of cpuctx->unique_pmu, so we remove it altogether.

058fe1c044 perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events
This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about
speeding up the context switch for cgroup events:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/

This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over
the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that
contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event.

This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years
e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs.

The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in
heavy cache contention scenarios.

Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles
of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for
a simple array read/write microbenchark.

  Contention

where:

  1 event type  = cycles
  2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/

   Contention L2 Low: workset  <  L2 cache size.
                 High:  "     >>  L2   "     " .
   Contention L3 Low: workset of task on all sockets  <  L3 cache size.
                 High:   "     "   "   "   "    "    >>  L3   "     " .

   Median Speedup is (50%ile Before - 50%ile After) /  50%ile Before

Unsurprisingly, the benefits of this optimization decrease with the number
of cpuctxs with a cgroup events, yet, is never detrimental.

  fd7a4bed18 ("sched, rt: Convert switched_{from, to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() to balance callbacks")

... we don't reschedule a task under certain circumstances:

Lets say task-A, SCHED_OTHER, is running on CPU0 (and it may run only on
CPU0) and holds a PI lock. This task is removed from the CPU because it
used up its time slice and another SCHED_OTHER task is running. Task-B on
CPU1 runs at RT priority and asks for the lock owned by task-A. This
results in a priority boost for task-A. Task-B goes to sleep until the
lock has been made available. Task-A is already runnable (but not active),
so it receives no wake up.

The reality now is that task-A gets on the CPU once the scheduler decides
to remove the current task despite the fact that a high priority task is
enqueued and waiting. This may take a long time.

The desired behaviour is that CPU0 immediately reschedules after the
priority boost which made task-A the task with the lowest priority.

4d25b35ea3 sched/fair: Restore previous rq_flags when migrating tasks in hotplug
__migrate_task() can return with a different runqueue locked than the
one we passed as an argument. So that we can repin the lock in
migrate_tasks() (and keep the update_rq_clock() bit) we need to
restore the old rq_flags before repinning.

Note that it wouldn't be correct to change move_queued_task() to repin
because of the change of runqueue and the fact that having an
up-to-date clock on the initial rq doesn't mean the new rq has one
too.

49ee576809 sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task() for idle_sched_class
Steve noticed that when we switch from IDLE to SCHED_OTHER we fail to
take the shortcut, even though all runnable tasks are of the fair
class, because prev->sched_class != &fair_sched_class.

Since I reworked the put_prev_task() stuff, we don't really care about
prev->class here, so removing that condition will allow this case.

This increases the likely case from 78% to 98% correct for Steve's
workload.

In commit:

  659cf9f582 ("locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by waking at most one waiter for backoff when acquiring the lock")

I replaced a comment with a lockdep_assert_held(). However it turns out
we hide that lock from lockdep for hysterical raisins, which results
in the assertion always firing.

Remove the old debug code as lockdep will easily spot the abuse it was
meant to catch, which will make the lock visible to lockdep and make
the assertion work as intended.

4009f4b3a9 locking/rtmutex: Flip unlikely() branch to likely() in __rt_mutex_slowlock()
Running my likely/unlikely profiler for 3 weeks on two production
machines, I discovered that the unlikely() test in
__rt_mutex_slowlock() checking if state is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is hit
100% of the time, making it a very likely case.

The reason is, on a vanilla kernel, the majority case of calling
rt_mutex() is from the futex code. This code is always called as
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. In the -rt patch, this code is commonly called when
PREEMPT_RT is enabled with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. But that's not the
likely scenario.

The rt_mutex() code should be optimized for the common vanilla case,
and that is from a futex, with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE as the state.

a76a82a3e3 perf/core: Fix use-after-free bug
Dmitry reported a KASAN use-after-free on event->group_leader.

It turns out there's a hole in perf_remove_from_context() due to
event_function_call() not calling its function when the task
associated with the event is already dead.

In this case the event will have been detached from the task, but the
grouping will have been retained, such that group operations might
still work properly while there are live child events etc.

This does however mean that we can miss a perf_group_detach() call
when the group decomposes, this in turn can then lead to
use-after-free.

Fix it by explicitly doing the group detach if its still required.

07cd129455 cgroup: don't online subsystems before cgroup_name/path() are operational
While refactoring cgroup creation, a5bca21520 ("cgroup: factor out
cgroup_create() out of cgroup_mkdir()") incorrectly onlined subsystems
before the new cgroup is associated with it kernfs_node.  This is fine
for cgroup proper but cgroup_name/path() depend on the associated
kernfs_node and if a subsystem makes the new cgroup_subsys_state
visible, which they're allowed to after onlining, it can lead to NULL
dereference.

The current code performs cgroup creation and subsystem onlining in
cgroup_create() and cgroup_mkdir() makes the cgroup and subsystems
visible afterwards.  There's no reason to online the subsystems early
and we can simply drop cgroup_apply_control_enable() call from
cgroup_create() so that the subsystems are onlined and made visible at
the same time.

7f554a3d05 srcu: Reduce probability of SRCU ->unlock_count[] counter overflow
Because there are no memory barriers between the srcu_flip() ->completed
increment and the summation of the read-side ->unlock_count[] counters,
both the compiler and the CPU can reorder the summation with the
->completed increment.  If the updater is preempted long enough during
this process, the read-side counters could overflow, resulting in a
too-short grace period.

This commit therefore adds a memory barrier just after the ->completed
increment, ensuring that if the summation misses an increment of
->unlock_count[] from __srcu_read_unlock(), the next __srcu_read_lock()
will see the new value of ->completed, thus bounding the number of
->unlock_count[] increments that can be missed to NR_CPUS.  The actual
overflow computation is more complex due to the possibility of nesting
of __srcu_read_lock().

d85b62f18d srcu: Force full grace-period ordering
If a process invokes synchronize_srcu(), is delayed just the right amount
of time, and thus does not sleep when waiting for the grace period to
complete, there is no ordering between the end of the grace period and
the code following the synchronize_srcu().  Similarly, there can be a
lack of ordering between the end of the SRCU grace period and callback
invocation.

This commit adds the necessary ordering.

f2c4689640 srcu: Implement more-efficient reader counts
SRCU uses two per-cpu counters: a nesting counter to count the number of
active critical sections, and a sequence counter to ensure that the nesting
counters don't change while they are being added together in
srcu_readers_active_idx_check().

This patch instead uses per-cpu lock and unlock counters. Because both
counters only increase and srcu_readers_active_idx_check() reads the unlock
counter before the lock counter, this achieves the same end without having
to increment two different counters in srcu_read_lock(). This also saves a
smp_mb() in srcu_readers_active_idx_check().

Possible bug: There is no guarantee that the lock counter won't overflow
during srcu_readers_active_idx_check(), as there are no memory barriers
around srcu_flip() (see comment in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() for
details). However, this problem was already present before this patch.

a67edbf4fb bpf: add initial bpf tracepoints
This work adds a number of tracepoints to paths that are either
considered slow-path or exception-like states, where monitoring or
inspecting them would be desirable.

For bpf(2) syscall, tracepoints have been placed for main commands
when they succeed. In XDP case, tracepoint is for exceptions, that
is, f.e. on abnormal BPF program exit such as unknown or XDP_ABORTED
return code, or when error occurs during XDP_TX action and the packet
could not be forwarded.

Both have been split into separate event headers, and can be further
extended. Worst case, if they unexpectedly should get into our way in
future, they can also removed [1]. Of course, these tracepoints (like
any other) can be analyzed by eBPF itself, etc. Example output:

  # ./perf record -a -e bpf:* sleep 10
