The task is running &amp;&amp; !queued, so there is no rq clock update before calling
set_curr_task().

This patch fixes it by updating rq clock after holding rq-&gt;lock/pi_lock
just as what other dequeue + put_prev + enqueue + set_curr story does.

<title>sched/cpuset/pm: Fix cpuset vs. suspend-resume bugs</title>

commit 50e76632339d4655859523a39249dd95ee5e93e7 upstream.

Cpusets vs. suspend-resume is _completely_ broken. And it got noticed
because it now resulted in non-cpuset usage breaking too.

On suspend cpuset_cpu_inactive() doesn't call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() because it doesn't want to move tasks about,
there is no need, all tasks are frozen and won't run again until after
we've resumed everything.

But this means that when we finally do call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() after resuming the last frozen cpu in
cpuset_cpu_active(), the top_cpuset will not have any difference with
the cpu_active_mask and this it will not in fact do _anything_.

So the cpuset configuration will not be restored. This was largely
hidden because we would unconditionally create identity domains and
mobile users would not in fact use cpusets much. And servers what do use
cpusets tend to not suspend-resume much.

An addition problem is that we'd not in fact wait for the cpuset work to
finish before resuming the tasks, allowing spurious migrations outside
of the specified domains.

Fix the rebuild by introducing cpuset_force_rebuild() and fix the
ordering with cpuset_wait_for_hotplug().

commit 96b777452d8881480fd5be50112f791c17db4b6b upstream.

Commit:

  2f5177f0fd7e ("sched/cgroup: Fix/cleanup cgroup teardown/init")

.. moved sched_online_group() from css_online() to css_alloc().
It exposes half-baked task group into global lists before initializing
generic cgroup stuff.

LTP testcase (third in cgroup_regression_test) written for testing
similar race in kernels 2.6.26-2.6.28 easily triggers this oops:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

Here the task group is already linked into the global RCU-protected 'task_groups'
list, but the css-&gt;cgroup pointer is still NULL.

This patch reverts this chunk and moves online back to css_online().

commit 73bb059f9b8a00c5e1bf2f7ca83138c05d05e600 upstream.

The point of sched_group_mask is to select those CPUs from
sched_group_cpus that can actually arrive at this balance domain.

The current code gets it wrong, as can be readily demonstrated with a
topology like:

  node   0   1   2   3
    0:  10  20  30  20
    1:  20  10  20  30
    2:  30  20  10  20
    3:  20  30  20  10

Where (for example) domain 1 on CPU1 ends up with a mask that includes
CPU0:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (mask: 0-2) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072)

This causes sched_balance_cpu() to compute the wrong CPU and
consequently should_we_balance() will terminate early resulting in
missed load-balance opportunities.

The fixed topology looks like:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (mask: 1) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072)

(note: this relies on OVERLAP domains to always have children, this is
 true because the regular topology domains are still here -- this is
 before degenerate trimming)

commit f32d782e31bf079f600dcec126ed117b0577e85c upstream.

The group mask is always used in intersection with the group CPUs. So,
when building the group mask, we don't have to care about CPUs that are
not part of the group.

<title>sched/topology: Fix building of overlapping sched-groups</title>

commit 0372dd2736e02672ac6e189c31f7d8c02ad543cd upstream.

When building the overlapping groups, we very obviously should start
with the previous domain of _this_ @cpu, not CPU-0.

This can be readily demonstrated with a topology like:

  node   0   1   2   3
    0:  10  20  30  20
    1:  20  10  20  30
    2:  30  20  10  20
    3:  20  30  20  10

Where (for example) CPU1 ends up generating the following nonsensical groups:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 2 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 1-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0-1,3 (cpu_capacity = 3072)

Where the fact that domain 1 doesn't include a group with span 0-2 is
the obvious fail.

With patch this looks like:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 0 2
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072)

This reverts commit 1b568f0aabf280555125bc7cefc08321ff0ebaba.

For the 4.9 kernel tree, this patch causes scheduler regressions.  It is
fixed in newer kernels with a large number of individual patches, the
sum of which is too big for the stable kernel tree.

Ingo recommended just reverting the single patch for this tree, as it's
much simpler.

<title>sched/core: Idle_task_exit() shouldn't use switch_mm_irqs_off()</title>

commit 252d2a4117bc181b287eeddf848863788da733ae upstream.

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().

This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes.  Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial.  There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.

In sched_show_task() we print out a useless hex number, not even a
symbol, and there's a big question mark whether this even makes sense
anyway, I suspect we should just remove it all.
