commit fe32d3cd5e8eb0f82e459763374aa80797023403 upstream.

These functions check should_resched() before unlocking spinlock/bh-enable:
preempt_count always non-zero =&gt; should_resched() always returns false.
cond_resched_lock() worked iff spin_needbreak is set.

This patch adds argument "preempt_offset" to should_resched().

preempt_count offset constants for that:

  PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET  - offset after preempt_disable()
  PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET     - offset after spin_lock()
  SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET  - offset after local_bh_distable()
  SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET     - offset after spin_lock_bh()

<title>sched/core: Fix TASK_DEAD race in finish_task_switch()</title>

commit 95913d97914f44db2b81271c2e2ebd4d2ac2df83 upstream.

So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows:

        CPU0                            CPU1

        context_switch(A, B)
                                        ttwu(A)
                                          LOCK A-&gt;pi_lock
                                          A-&gt;on_cpu == 0
        finish_task_switch(A)
          prev_state = A-&gt;state  &lt;-.
          WMB                      |
          A-&gt;on_cpu = 0;           |
          UNLOCK rq0-&gt;lock         |
                                   |    context_switch(C, A)
                                   `--  A-&gt;state = TASK_DEAD
          prev_state == TASK_DEAD
            put_task_struct(A)
                                        context_switch(A, C)
                                        finish_task_switch(A)
                                          A-&gt;state == TASK_DEAD
                                            put_task_struct(A)

The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A-&gt;state on CPU0
to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A-&gt;state, which will then
result in a double-drop and use-after-free.

Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago)
that we need to observe A-&gt;state while holding rq-&gt;lock because that
will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact
acquire (that) rq-&gt;lock; it takes A-&gt;pi_lock these days.

We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is
expensive, so we'd rather avoid that.

The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&amp;A-&gt;on_cpu, 0),
which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

<title>sched: access local runqueue directly in single_task_running</title>

commit 00cc1633816de8c95f337608a1ea64e228faf771 upstream.

Commit 2ee507c47293 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task
check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current
runqueue with the smp_processor_id.  When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is
bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker).

With commit f78195129963 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM
calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that
generates a lot of kernel messages.

To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness,
we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

commit dd9d3843755da95f63dd3a376f62b3e45c011210 upstream.

There is a race condition in SMP bootup code, which may result
in

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418
    workqueue_cpu_up_callback()
or
    kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135!

It can be triggered with a bit of luck in Linux guests running
on busy hosts.

	CPU0                        CPUn
	====                        ====

	_cpu_up()
	  __cpu_up()
				    start_secondary()
				      set_cpu_online()
					cpumask_set_cpu(cpu,
						   to_cpumask(cpu_online_bits));
	  cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
	    &lt;do stuff, see below&gt;
					cpumask_set_cpu(cpu,
						   to_cpumask(cpu_active_bits));

During the various CPU_ONLINE callbacks CPUn is online but not
active. Several things can go wrong at that point, depending on
the scheduling of tasks on CPU0.

Variant 1:

  cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
    workqueue_cpu_up_callback()
      rebind_workers()
        set_cpus_allowed_ptr()

  This call fails because it requires an active CPU; rebind_workers()
  ends with a warning:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418
    workqueue_cpu_up_callback()

Variant 2:

  cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
    smpboot_thread_call()
      smpboot_unpark_threads()
       ..
        __kthread_unpark()
          __kthread_bind()
          wake_up_state()
           ..
            select_task_rq()
              select_fallback_rq()

  The -&gt;wake_cpu of the unparked thread is not allowed, making a call
  to select_fallback_rq() necessary. Then, select_fallback_rq() cannot
  find an allowed, active CPU and promptly resets the allowed CPUs, so
  that the task in question ends up on CPU0.

  When those unparked tasks are eventually executed, they run
  immediately into a BUG:

    kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135!

Just changing the order in which the online/active bits are set
(and adding some memory barriers), would solve the two issues
above. However, it would change the order of operations back to
the one before commit 6acbfb96976f ("sched: Fix hotplug vs.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()"), thus, reintroducing that particular
problem.

Going further back into history, we have at least the following
commits touching this topic:
- commit 2baab4e90495 ("sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online")
- commit 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness")

Together, these give us the following non-working solutions:

  - secondary CPU sets active before online, because active is assumed to
    be a subset of online;

  - secondary CPU sets online before active, because the primary CPU
    assumes that an online CPU is also active;

  - secondary CPU sets online and waits for primary CPU to set active,
    because it might deadlock.

Commit 875ebe940d77 ("powerpc/smp: Wait until secondaries are
active &amp; online") introduces an arch-specific solution to this
arch-independent problem.

Now, go for a more general solution without explicit waiting and
simply set active twice: once on the secondary CPU after online
was set and once on the primary CPU after online was seen.

Going further back into history, we have at least the following
commits touching this topic:
- commit 2baab4e90495 ("sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online")
- commit 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness")

Together, these give us the following non-working solutions:

  - secondary CPU sets active before online, because active is assumed to
    be a subset of online;

  - secondary CPU sets online before active, because the primary CPU
    assumes that an online CPU is also active;

  - secondary CPU sets online and waits for primary CPU to set active,
    because it might deadlock.

Commit 875ebe940d77 ("powerpc/smp: Wait until secondaries are
active &amp; online") introduces an arch-specific solution to this
arch-independent problem.

Now, go for a more general solution without explicit waiting and
simply set active twice: once on the secondary CPU after online
was set and once on the primary CPU after online was seen.

Both CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y and CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y track task
sched_info, which results in ugly #if clauses.

Simplify the code by introducing a synthethic CONFIG_SCHED_INFO
switch, selected by both.

<title>sched, preempt_notifier: separate notifier registration from static_key inc/dec</title>

Commit 1cde2930e154 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")
had two problems.  First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the
addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption
while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could
observe an inconsistent list state.  KVM correctly registers and
unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep
caused dmesg splats.

Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often
(in vcpu_load/vcpu_put).  With a single uniprocessor guest the static key
would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every
userspace exit.

To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from
KVM.
