commit 1fe89e1b6d270aa0d3452c60d38461ea589594e3 upstream.

Because task_group() uses a cache of autogroup_task_group(), whose
output depends on sched_class, switching classes can generate
problems.

In particular, when started as fair, the cache points to the
autogroup, so when switching to RT the tg_rt_schedulable() test fails
for every cpu.rt_{runtime,period}_us change because now the autogroup
has tasks and no runtime.

Furthermore, going back to the previous semantics of varying
task_group() with sched_class has the down-side that the sched_debug
output varies as well, even though the task really is in the
autogroup.

Therefore add an autogroup exception to tg_has_rt_tasks() -- such that
both (all) task_group() usages in sched/core now have one. And remove
all the remnants of the variable task_group() output.

commit fd7de1e8d5b2b2b35e71332fafb899f584597150 upstream.

Locklessly doing is_idle_task(rq-&gt;curr) is only okay because of
RCU protection.  The older variant of the broken code checked
rq-&gt;curr == rq-&gt;idle instead and therefore didn't need RCU.

It appears that some SCHEDULE_USER (asm for schedule_user) callers
in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S are called from RCU kernel context,
and schedule_user will return in RCU user context.  This causes RCU
warnings and possible failures.

This is intended to be a minimal fix suitable for 3.18.

<title>sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency</title>

Commit d670ec13178d0 "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles" fixes one glibc
test case in cost of breaking another one. After that commit, calling
clock_nanosleep(TIMER_ABSTIME, X) and then clock_gettime(&amp;Y) can result
of Y time being smaller than X time.

Reproducer/tester can be found further below, it can be compiled and ran by:

	gcc -o tst-cpuclock2 tst-cpuclock2.c -pthread
	while ./tst-cpuclock2 ; do : ; done

This reproducer, when running on a buggy kernel, will complain
about "clock_gettime difference too small".

Issue happens because on start in thread_group_cputimer() we initialize
sum_exec_runtime of cputimer with threads runtime not yet accounted and
then add the threads runtime to running cputimer again on scheduler
tick, making it's sum_exec_runtime bigger than actual threads runtime.

KOSAKI Motohiro posted a fix for this problem, but that patch was never
applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/26/191 .

This patch takes different approach to cure the problem. It calls
update_curr() when cputimer starts, that assure we will have updated
stats of running threads and on the next schedule tick we will account
only the runtime that elapsed from cputimer start. That also assure we
have consistent state between cpu times of individual threads and cpu
time of the process consisted by those threads.

<title>sched/cputime: Fix cpu_timer_sample_group() double accounting</title>

While looking over the cpu-timer code I found that we appear to add
the delta for the calling task twice, through:

  cpu_timer_sample_group()
    thread_group_cputimer()
      thread_group_cputime()
        times-&gt;sum_exec_runtime += task_sched_runtime();

    *sample = cputime.sum_exec_runtime + task_delta_exec();

Which would make the sample run ahead, making the sleep short.

sched_move_task() is the only interface to change sched_task_group:
cpu_cgrp_subsys methods and autogroup_move_group() use it.

Everything is synchronized by task_rq_lock(), so cpu_cgroup_attach()
is ordered with other users of sched_move_task(). This means we do no
need RCU here: if we've dereferenced a tg here, the .attach method
hasn't been called for it yet.

Thus, we should pass "true" to task_css_check() to silence lockdep
warnings.

<title>sched: stop the unbound recursion in preempt_schedule_context()</title>

<id>009f60e2763568cdcd75bd1cf360c7c7165e2e60</id>
<content type='text'>
preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end
and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy
and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again.

1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched()
   by hand.

2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid
   the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case
   we need to move into sched/core.c.

3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't
   really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it
   make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match
   preempt_schedule().

preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end
and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy
and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again.

1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched()
   by hand.

2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid
   the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case
   we need to move into sched/core.c.

3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't
   really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it
   make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match
   preempt_schedule().

The race may happen when somebody is changing task_group of a forking task.
Child's cgroup is the same as parent's after dup_task_struct() (there just
memory copying). Also, cfs_rq and rt_rq are the same as parent's.

But if parent changes its task_group before it's called cgroup_post_fork(),
we do not reflect this situation on child. Child's cfs_rq and rt_rq remain
the same, while child's task_group changes in cgroup_post_fork().

To fix this we introduce fork() method, which calls sched_move_task() directly.
This function changes sched_task_group on appropriate (also its logic has
no problem with freshly created tasks, so we shouldn't introduce something
special; we are able just to use it).

Possibly, this decides the Burke Libbey's problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/24/456
