40767b0dc7 sched/deadline: Fix deadline parameter modification handling
Commit 67dfa1b756f2 ("sched/deadline: Implement cancel_dl_timer() to
use in switched_from_dl()") removed the hrtimer_try_cancel() function
call out from init_dl_task_timer(), which gets called from
__setparam_dl().

The result is that we can now re-init the timer while its active --
this is bad and corrupts timer state.

Furthermore; changing the parameters of an active deadline task is
tricky in that you want to maintain guarantees, while immediately
effective change would allow one to circumvent the CBS guarantees --
this too is bad, as one (bad) task should not be able to affect the
others.

Rework things to avoid both problems. We only need to initialize the
timer once, so move that to __sched_fork() for new tasks.

Then make sure __setparam_dl() doesn't affect the current running
state but only updates the parameters used to calculate the next
scheduling period -- this guarantees the CBS functions as expected
(albeit slightly pessimistic).

This however means we need to make sure __dl_clear_params() needs to
reset the active state otherwise new (and tasks flipping between
classes) will not properly (re)compute their first instance.

Todo: close class flipping CBS hole.
Todo: implement delayed BW release.

7eeafbcab4 tracing: Separate out initializing top level dir from instances
The top level trace array is treated a little different than the
instances, as it has to deal with more of the general tracing.
The tr->dir is the tracing directory, which is an immutable
dentry, where as the tr->dir of instances are the dentry that
was created, and can be destroyed later. These should have different
functions accessing them.

As only tracing_init_dentry() deals with the top level array, fold
the code for it into that function, and remove the trace_init_dentry_tr()
that was also used by the instances to get their directory dentry.

Add a tracing_get_dentry() to just get the tracing dir entry for
instances as well as the top level array.

00845eb968 sched: don't cause task state changes in nested sleep debugging
Commit 8eb23b9f35aa ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report
on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the
inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING,
but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it
calls schedule.

However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner
sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that
normally doesn't actually need to sleep).

And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to
TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and
working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just
sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen
every time.

In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to
basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater,
as reported by Bruno Prémont.  But there may be other legacy uses of
that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never
get converted to the new model.

This fixes both cases:

 - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even
   if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the
   warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true.
   So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))"
   would trigger for every nested sleep.

 - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using
   "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used
   for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change'
   that is used for the debugging decision itself.

(Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we
avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the
suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test)

16b269436b sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus to reflect rd->online
Currently, cpudl::free_cpus contains all CPUs during init, see
cpudl_init(). When calling cpudl_find(), we have to add rd->span
to avoid selecting the cpu outside the current root domain, because
cpus_allowed cannot be depended on when performing clustered
scheduling using the cpuset, see find_later_rq().

This patch adds cpudl_set_freecpu() and cpudl_clear_freecpu() for
changing cpudl::free_cpus when doing rq_online_dl()/rq_offline_dl(),
so we can avoid the rd->span operation when calling cpudl_find()
in find_later_rq().

ff6f2d29bd sched/idle: Add missing checks to the exit condition of cpu_idle_poll()
cpu_idle_poll() is entered into when either the cpu_idle_force_poll is set or
tick_check_broadcast_expired() returns true. The exit condition from
cpu_idle_poll() is tif_need_resched().

However this does not take into account scenarios where cpu_idle_force_poll
changes or tick_check_broadcast_expired() returns false, without setting
the resched flag. So a cpu will be caught in cpu_idle_poll() needlessly,
thereby wasting power. Add an explicit check on cpu_idle_force_poll and
tick_check_broadcast_expired() to the exit condition of cpu_idle_poll()
to avoid this.

a18b5d0181 sched: Fix missing preemption opportunity
If an interrupt fires in cond_resched(), between the call to __schedule()
and the PREEMPT_ACTIVE count decrementation, and that interrupt sets
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, the call to preempt_schedule_irq() will be ignored
due to the PREEMPT_ACTIVE count. This kind of scenario, with irq preemption
being delayed because it's interrupting a preempt-disabled area, is
usually fixed up after preemption is re-enabled back with an explicit
call to preempt_schedule().

This is what preempt_enable() does but a raw preempt count decrement as
performed by __preempt_count_sub(PREEMPT_ACTIVE) doesn't handle delayed
preemption check. Therefore when such a race happens, the rescheduling
is going to be delayed until the next scheduler or preemption entrypoint.
This can be a problem for scheduler latency sensitive workloads.

Lets fix that by consolidating cond_resched() with preempt_schedule()
internals.

6ea22486ba tracing: Add array printing helper
If a trace event contains an array, there is currently no standard
way to format this for text output.  Drivers are currently hacking
around this by a) local hacks that use the trace_seq functionailty
directly, or b) just not printing that information.  For fixed size
arrays, formatting of the elements can be open-coded, but this gets
cumbersome for arrays of non-trivial size.

These approaches result in non-standard content of the event format
description delivered to userspace, so userland tools needs to be
taught to understand and parse each array printing method
individually.

This patch implements a __print_array() helper that tracepoint
implementations can use instead of reinventing it.  A simple C-style
syntax is used to delimit the array and its elements {like,this}.

So that the helpers can be used with large static arrays as well as
dynamic arrays, they take a pointer and element count: they can be
used with __get_dynamic_array() for use with dynamic arrays.

c3c87e7704 perf: Tighten (and fix) the grouping condition
The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during
moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that
creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically
broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled.

Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event
for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets
confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice
as well by me via the perf fuzzer.

Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow
grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context.
This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

that the body of the conditional where it and max_faults get set/
updated gets executed; in fact, without knowing all the details of
other scheduler code, I can't prove this either.

Generally the necessary change would appear to be to clear max_group
prior to entering the inner loop, and break out of the outer loop when
it ends up being all clear after the inner one. This, however, seems
inefficient, and afaict the same effect can be achieved by exiting the
outer loop when max_faults is still zero after the inner loop.

[ mingo: changed the solution to zero initialization: uninitialized_var()
  needs to die, as it's an actively dangerous construct: if in the future
  a known-proven-good piece of code is changed to have a true, buggy
  uninitialized variable, the compiler warning is then supressed...

  The better long term solution is to clean up the code flow, so that
  even simple minded compilers (and humans!) are able to read it without
  getting a headache.  ]

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
 "The lifetime rules of cgroup hierarchies always have been somewhat
  counter-intuitive and cgroup core tried to enforce that hierarchies
  w/o userland-visible usages must die in finite amount of time so that
  the controllers can be reused for other hierarchies; unfortunately,
  this can't be implemented reasonably for the memory controller - the
  kmemcg part doesn't have any way to forcefully drain the existing
  usages, leading to an interruptible hang if a following mount attempts
  to use the controller in any way.

  So, it seems like we're stuck with "hierarchies live on till they die
  whenever that may be" at least for now.  This pretty much confines
  attaching controllers to hierarchies to before the hierarchies are
  actively used by making dynamic configurations post active usages
  unreliable.  This has never been reliable and should be fine in
  practice given how cgroups are used.

  After the patch, hierarchies aren't killed if it isn't already
  drained.  A following mount attempt of the same mount options will
  reuse the existing hierarchy.  Mount attempts with differing options
  will fail w/ -EBUSY"

8b618628b2 ktime: Optimize ktime_divns for constant divisors
At least on ARM, do_div() is optimized to turn constant divisors into
an inline multiplication by the reciprocal value at compile time.
However this optimization is missed entirely whenever ktime_divns() is
used and the slow out-of-line division code is used all the time.

Let ktime_divns() use do_div() inline whenever the divisor is constant
and small enough.  This will make things like ktime_to_us() and
ktime_to_ms() much faster.

f5f4eda4c9 PM / QoS: Add debugfs support to view the list of constraints
PM QoS requests are notoriously hard to debug and made even
more so due to their highly dynamic nature. Having visibility
into the internal data representation per constraint allows
us to have much better appreciation of potential issues or
bad usage by drivers in the system.

So introduce for all classes of PM QoS, an entry in
/sys/kernel/debug/pm_qos that shall show all the current
requests as well as the snapshot of the value these requests
boil down to. For example:
==> /sys/kernel/debug/pm_qos/cpu_dma_latency <==
1: 4444: Active
2: 2000000000: Default
3: 2000000000: Default
4: 2000000000: Default
Type=Minimum, Value=4444, Requests: active=1 / total=4

==> /sys/kernel/debug/pm_qos/memory_bandwidth <==
Empty!

...

The actual value listed will have their meaning based
on the QoS it is on, the 'Type' indicates what logic
it would use to collate the information - Minimum,
Maximum, or Sum. Value is the collation of all requests.
This interface also compares the values with the defaults
for the QoS class and marks the ones that are
currently active.

9bc7491906 hrtimer: Prevent stale expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt()
hrtimer_interrupt() has the following subtle issue:

hrtimer_interrupt()
  lock(cpu_base);
  expires_next = KTIME_MAX;

  expire_timers(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
  expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
  if (expires < expires_next)
    expires_next = expires;

  expire_timers(CLOCK_REALTIME);
    unlock(cpu_base);
    wakeup()
    hrtimer_start(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, newtimer);
    lock(cpu_base();  
  expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_REALTIME);
  if (expires < expires_next)
    expires_next = expires;

So because we already evaluated the next expiring timer of
CLOCK_MONOTONIC we ignore that the expiry time of newtimer might be
earlier than the overall next expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt().

To solve this, remove the caching of the next expiry value from
hrtimer_interrupt() and reevaluate all active clock bases for the next
expiry value. To avoid another code duplication, create a shared
evaluation function and use it for hrtimer_get_next_event(),
hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt().

There is another subtlety in this mechanism:

While hrtimer_interrupt() is running, we want to avoid to touch the
hardware device because we will reprogram it anyway at the end of
hrtimer_interrupt(). This works nicely for hrtimers which get rearmed
via the HRTIMER_RESTART mechanism, because we drop out when the
callback on that CPU is running. But that fails, if a new timer gets
enqueued like in the example above.

This has another implication: While hrtimer_interrupt() is running we
refuse remote enqueueing of timers - see hrtimer_interrupt() and
hrtimer_check_target().

hrtimer_interrupt() tries to prevent this by setting cpu_base->expires
to KTIME_MAX, but that fails if a new timer gets queued.

Prevent both the hardware access and the remote enqueue
explicitely. We can loosen the restriction on the remote enqueue now
due to reevaluation of the next expiry value, but that needs a
seperate patch.

Folded in a fix from Vignesh Radhakrishnan.

e2e64a9325 genirq: Set initial affinity in irq_set_affinity_hint()
Problem:
The default behavior of the kernel is somewhat undesirable as all
requested interrupts end up on CPU0 after registration.  A user can
run irqbalance daemon, or can manually configure smp_affinity via the
proc filesystem, but the default affinity of the interrupts for all
devices is always CPU zero, this can cause performance problems or
very heavy cpu use of only one core if not noticed and fixed by the
user.

Solution:
Enable the setting of the initial affinity directly when the driver
sets a hint.

This enabling means that kernel drivers can include an initial
affinity setting for the interrupt, instead of all interrupts starting
out life on CPU0. Of course if irqbalance is still running then the
interrupts will get moved as before.

This function is currently called by drivers in block, crypto,
infiniband, ethernet and scsi trees, but only a handful, so these will
be the devices affected by this change.

Tested on i40e, and default interrupts were spread across the CPUs
according to the hint.

4bee96860a smpboot: Add missing get_online_cpus() in smpboot_register_percpu_thread()
The following race exists in the smpboot percpu threads management:

CPU0	      	   	     CPU1
cpu_up(2)
  get_online_cpus();
  smpboot_create_threads(2);
			     smpboot_register_percpu_thread();
			     for_each_online_cpu();
			       __smpboot_create_thread();
  __cpu_up(2);

This results in a missing per cpu thread for the newly onlined cpu2 and
in a NULL pointer dereference on a consecutive offline of that cpu.

Proctect smpboot_register_percpu_thread() with get_online_cpus() to
prevent that.

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and removed the change in
        smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread() because that's an
        optimization and therefor not stable material. ]

55422d0bd2 audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters
In order to ensure that filenames are not released before the audit
subsystem is done with the strings there are a number of hacks built
into the fs and audit subsystems around getname() and putname().  To
say these hacks are "ugly" would be kind.

This patch removes the filename hackery in favor of a more
conventional reference count based approach.  The diffstat below tells
most of the story; lots of audit/fs specific code is replaced with a
traditional reference count based approach that is easily understood,
even by those not familiar with the audit and/or fs subsystems.
