commit 311a1bdc44a8e06024df4fd3392be0dfc8298655 upstream.

Commit e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for
v2") adds a user writable cpuset.cpus.exclusive file for setting
exclusive CPUs to be used for the creation of partitions. Since then
effective_xcpus depends on both the cpuset.cpus and cpuset.cpus.exclusive
setting. If cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set, effective_xcpus will depend
only on cpuset.cpus.exclusive.  When it is not set, effective_xcpus
will be set according to the cpuset.cpus value when the cpuset becomes
a valid partition root.

When cpuset.cpus is being cleared by the user, effective_xcpus should
only be cleared when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is not set. However, that
is not currently the case.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
  # mkdir test
  # echo +cpuset &gt; cgroup.subtree_control
  # cd test
  # echo 3 &gt; cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  # cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
  3
  # echo &gt; cpuset.cpus
  # cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective // was cleared

Fix it by clearing effective_xcpus only if cpuset.cpus.exclusive is
not set.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Prevent UAF in proc_cpuset_show()</title>

[ Upstream commit 1be59c97c83ccd67a519d8a49486b3a8a73ca28a ]

An UAF can happen when /proc/cpuset is read as reported in [1].

This can be reproduced by the following methods:
1.add an mdelay(1000) before acquiring the cgroup_lock In the
 cgroup_path_ns function.
2.$cat /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cpuset   repeatly.
3.$mount -t cgroup -o cpuset cpuset /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/
$umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/   repeatly.

The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:

(umount)		|	(cat /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cpuset)
css_release		|	proc_cpuset_show
css_release_work_fn	|	css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id);
css_free_rwork_fn	|	cgroup_path_ns(css-&gt;cgroup, ...);
cgroup_destroy_root	|	mutex_lock(&amp;cgroup_mutex);
rebind_subsystems	|
cgroup_free_root 	|
			|	// cgrp was freed, UAF
			|	cgroup_path_ns_locked(cgrp,..);

When the cpuset is initialized, the root node top_cpuset.css.cgrp
will point to &amp;cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. In cgroup v1, the mount operation will
allocate cgroup_root, and top_cpuset.css.cgrp will point to the allocated
&amp;cgroup_root.cgrp. When the umount operation is executed,
top_cpuset.css.cgrp will be rebound to &amp;cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp.

The problem is that when rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, there are cases
where the cgroup_root allocated by setting up the root for cgroup v1
is cached. This could lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) if it is
subsequently freed. The descendant cgroups of cgroup v1 can only be
freed after the css is released. However, the css of the root will never
be released, yet the cgroup_root should be freed when it is unmounted.
This means that obtaining a reference to the css of the root does
not guarantee that css.cgrp-&gt;root will not be freed.

Fix this problem by using rcu_read_lock in proc_cpuset_show().
As cgroup_root is kfree_rcu after commit d23b5c577715
("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe"),
css-&gt;cgroup won't be freed during the critical section.
To call cgroup_path_ns_locked, css_set_lock is needed, so it is safe to
replace task_get_css with task_css.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Fix remote root partition creation problem</title>

<id>c3241416452806cce2e9f7fe6fec0518d819a4b7</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit ccac8e8de99cbcf5e7f53251ebce917bf7bcc29c ]

Since commit 181c8e091aae ("cgroup/cpuset: Introduce remote partition"),
a remote partition can be created underneath a non-partition root cpuset
as long as its exclusive_cpus are set to distribute exclusive CPUs down
to its children. The generate_sched_domains() function, however, doesn't
take into account this new behavior and hence will fail to create the
sched domain needed for a remote root (non-isolated) partition.

There are two issues related to remote partition support. First of
all, generate_sched_domains() has a fast path that is activated if
root_load_balance is true and top_cpuset.nr_subparts is non-zero. The
later condition isn't quite correct for remote partitions as nr_subparts
just shows the number of local child partitions underneath it. There
can be no local child partition under top_cpuset even if there are
remote partitions further down the hierarchy. Fix that by checking
for subpartitions_cpus which contains exclusive CPUs allocated to both
local and remote partitions.

Secondly, the valid partition check for subtree skipping in the csa[]
generation loop isn't enough as remote partition does not need to
have a partition root parent. Fix this problem by breaking csa[] array
generation loop of generate_sched_domains() into v1 and v2 specific parts
and checking a cpuset's exclusive_cpus before skipping its subtree in
the v2 case.

Also simplify generate_sched_domains() for cgroup v2 as only
non-isolating partition roots should be included in building the cpuset
array and none of the v1 scheduling attributes other than a different
way to create an isolated partition are supported.

Since commit 181c8e091aae ("cgroup/cpuset: Introduce remote partition"),
a remote partition can be created underneath a non-partition root cpuset
as long as its exclusive_cpus are set to distribute exclusive CPUs down
to its children. The generate_sched_domains() function, however, doesn't
take into account this new behavior and hence will fail to create the
sched domain needed for a remote root (non-isolated) partition.

There are two issues related to remote partition support. First of
all, generate_sched_domains() has a fast path that is activated if
root_load_balance is true and top_cpuset.nr_subparts is non-zero. The
later condition isn't quite correct for remote partitions as nr_subparts
just shows the number of local child partitions underneath it. There
can be no local child partition under top_cpuset even if there are
remote partitions further down the hierarchy. Fix that by checking
for subpartitions_cpus which contains exclusive CPUs allocated to both
local and remote partitions.

Secondly, the valid partition check for subtree skipping in the csa[]
generation loop isn't enough as remote partition does not need to
have a partition root parent. Fix this problem by breaking csa[] array
generation loop of generate_sched_domains() into v1 and v2 specific parts
and checking a cpuset's exclusive_cpus before skipping its subtree in
the v2 case.

Also simplify generate_sched_domains() for cgroup v2 as only
non-isolating partition roots should be included in building the cpuset
array and none of the v1 scheduling attributes other than a different
way to create an isolated partition are supported.

[ Upstream commit 1805c1729f52edaa021288473b09f9c7f74fb1ca ]

If only isolated partitions are being created underneath the cgroup root,
there will only be one sched domain with top_cpuset.effective_cpus. We can
skip the unnecessary sched domains scanning code and save some cycles.

Change relax_domain_level checks so that it would be possible
to include or exclude all domains from newidle balancing.

This matches the behavior described in the documentation:

  -1   no request. use system default or follow request of others.
   0   no search.
   1   search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).

"2" enables levels 0 and 1, level_max excludes the last (level_max)
level, and level_max+1 includes all levels.

<title>cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock helpers and tracepoints</title>

<id>21c38a3bd4ee3fb7337d013a638302fb5e5f9dc2</id>
<content type='text'>
This closely resembles helpers added for the global cgroup_rstat_lock in
commit fc29e04ae1ad ("cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_lock helpers and
tracepoints"). This is for the per CPU lock cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock.

Based on production workloads, we observe the fast-path "update" function
cgroup_rstat_updated() is invoked around 3 million times per sec, while the
"flush" function cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(), walking each possible CPU,
can see periodic spikes of 700 invocations/sec.

For this reason, the tracepoints are split into normal and fastpath
versions for this per-CPU lock. Making it feasible for production to
continuously monitor the non-fastpath tracepoint to detect lock contention
issues. The reason for monitoring is that lock disables IRQs which can
disturb e.g. softirq processing on the local CPUs involved. When the
global cgroup_rstat_lock stops disabling IRQs (e.g converted to a mutex),
this per CPU lock becomes the next bottleneck that can introduce latency
variations.

A practical bpftrace script for monitoring contention latency:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock_contended {
     @start[tid]=nsecs; @cnt[probe]=count()}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_cpu_locked {
     if (args-&gt;contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}
     @cnt[probe]=count()}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns); print(@cnt); clear(@cnt);}'

Commit 8996f93fc388 ("cgroup/cpuset: Statically initialize more
members of top_cpuset") uses an incorrect "&lt;" relational operator for
the CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE bit when initializing the top_cpuset. This
results in load_balancing turned off by default in the top cpuset which
is bad for performance.

Fix this by using the BIT() helper macro to set the desired top_cpuset
flags and avoid similar mistake from being made in the future.
