[ Upstream commit 63acd42c0d4942f74710b11c38602fb14dea7320 ]

Commit f1a0a376ca0c ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with
preemption disabled") removed the init_idle() call from
idle_thread_get(). This was the sole call-path on hotplug that resets
the Shadow Call Stack (scs) Stack Pointer (sp).

Not resetting the scs-sp leads to scs overflow after enough hotplug
cycles. Therefore add an explicit scs_task_reset() to the hotplug code
to make sure the scs-sp does get reset on hotplug.

<title>sched: Fix UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE setting</title>

[ Upstream commit ca4984a7dd863f3e1c0df775ae3e744bff24c303 ]

The UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE flag is set on a runqueue when dequeueing the last
uclamp active task (that is, when buckets.tasks reaches 0 for all
buckets) to maintain the last uclamp.max and prevent blocked util from
suddenly becoming visible.

However, there is an asymmetry in how the flag is set and cleared which
can lead to having the flag set whilst there are active tasks on the rq.
Specifically, the flag is cleared in the uclamp_rq_inc() path, which is
called at enqueue time, but set in uclamp_rq_dec_id() which is called
both when dequeueing a task _and_ in the update_uclamp_active() path. As
a result, when both uclamp_rq_{dec,ind}_id() are called from
update_uclamp_active(), the flag ends up being set but not cleared,
hence leaving the runqueue in a broken state.

Fix this by clearing the flag in update_uclamp_active() as well.

commit f558c2b834ec27e75d37b1c860c139e7b7c3a8e4 upstream.

Double enqueues in rt runqueues (list) have been reported while running
a simple test that spawns a number of threads doing a short sleep/run
pattern while being concurrently setscheduled between rt and fair class.

__sched_setscheduler() uses rt_effective_prio() to handle proper queuing
of priority boosted tasks that are setscheduled while being boosted.
rt_effective_prio() is however called twice per each
__sched_setscheduler() call: first directly by __sched_setscheduler()
before dequeuing the task and then by __setscheduler() to actually do
the priority change. If the priority of the pi_top_task is concurrently
being changed however, it might happen that the two calls return
different results. If, for example, the first call returned the same rt
priority the task was running at and the second one a fair priority, the
task won't be removed by the rt list (on_list still set) and then
enqueued in the fair runqueue. When eventually setscheduled back to rt
it will be seen as enqueued already and the WARNING/BUG be issued.

Fix this by calling rt_effective_prio() only once and then reusing the
return value. While at it refactor code as well for clarity. Concurrent
priority inheritance handling is still safe and will eventually converge
to a new state by following the inheritance chain(s).

[ Upstream commit 0213b7083e81f4acd69db32cb72eb4e5f220329a ]

Now cpu.uclamp.min acts as a protection, we need to make sure that the
uclamp request of the task is within the allowed range of the cgroup,
that is it is clamp()'ed correctly by tg-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] and
tg-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].

As reported by Xuewen [1] we can have some corner cases where there's
inversion between uclamp requested by task (p) and the uclamp values of
the taskgroup it's attached to (tg). Following table demonstrates
2 corner cases:

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 1
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  60%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 2
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 0%  | 30%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 20% | 50%  |  20%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

With this fix we get:

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 1
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 2
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 0%  | 30%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 20% | 50%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

Additionally uclamp_update_active_tasks() must now unconditionally
update both UCLAMP_MIN/MAX because changing the tg's UCLAMP_MAX for
instance could have an impact on the effective UCLAMP_MIN of the tasks.

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%

[ Upstream commit 93b73858701fd01de26a4a874eb95f9b7156fd4b ]

cpu_cgroup_css_online() calls cpu_util_update_eff() without holding the
uclamp_mutex or rcu_read_lock() like other call sites, which is
a mistake.

The uclamp_mutex is required to protect against concurrent reads and
writes that could update the cgroup hierarchy.

The rcu_read_lock() is required to traverse the cgroup data structures
in cpu_util_update_eff().

Surround the caller with the required locks and add some asserts to
better document the dependency in cpu_util_update_eff().

uclamp_mutex or rcu_read_lock() like other call sites, which is
a mistake.

The uclamp_mutex is required to protect against concurrent reads and
writes that could update the cgroup hierarchy.

The rcu_read_lock() is required to traverse the cgroup data structures
in cpu_util_update_eff().

Surround the caller with the required locks and add some asserts to
better document the dependency in cpu_util_update_eff().

<title>sched/uclamp: Fix wrong implementation of cpu.uclamp.min</title>

[ Upstream commit 0c18f2ecfcc274a4bcc1d122f79ebd4001c3b445 ]

cpu.uclamp.min is a protection as described in cgroup-v2 Resource
Distribution Model

	Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst

which means we try our best to preserve the minimum performance point of
tasks in this group. See full description of cpu.uclamp.min in the
cgroup-v2.rst.

But the current implementation makes it a limit, which is not what was
intended.

For example:

	tg-&gt;cpu.uclamp.min = 20%

	p0-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = 0
	p1-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = 50%

	Previous Behavior (limit):

		p0-&gt;effective_uclamp = 0
		p1-&gt;effective_uclamp = 20%

	New Behavior (Protection):

		p0-&gt;effective_uclamp = 20%
		p1-&gt;effective_uclamp = 50%

Which is inline with how protections should work.

With this change the cgroup and per-task behaviors are the same, as
expected.

Additionally, we remove the confusing relationship between cgroup and
!user_defined flag.

We don't want for example RT tasks that are boosted by default to max to
change their boost value when they attach to a cgroup. If a cgroup wants
to limit the max performance point of tasks attached to it, then
cpu.uclamp.max must be set accordingly.

Or if they want to set different boost value based on cgroup, then
sysctl_sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default must be used to NOT boost to max
and set the right cpu.uclamp.min for each group to let the RT tasks
obtain the desired boost value when attached to that group.

As it stands the dependency on !user_defined flag adds an extra layer of
complexity that is not required now cpu.uclamp.min behaves properly as
a protection.

The propagation model of effective cpu.uclamp.min in child cgroups as
implemented by cpu_util_update_eff() is still correct. The parent
protection sets an upper limit of what the child cgroups will
effectively get.

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

[ Upstream commit 6d2f8909a5fabb73fe2a63918117943986c39b6c ]

Util-clamp places tasks in different buckets based on their clamp values
for performance reasons. However, the size of buckets is currently
computed using a rounding division, which can lead to an off-by-one
error in some configurations.

For instance, with 20 buckets, the bucket size will be 1024/20=51. A
task with a clamp of 1024 will be mapped to bucket id 1024/51=20. Sadly,
correct indexes are in range [0,19], hence leading to an out of bound
memory access.

Clamp the bucket id to fix the issue.

commit 1139aeb1c521eb4a050920ce6c64c36c4f2a3ab7 upstream.

As of commit 966a967116e6 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct
call_single_data"), the smp code prefers 32-byte aligned call_single_data
objects for performance reasons, but the block layer includes an instance
of this structure in the main 'struct request' that is more senstive
to size than to performance here, see 4ccafe032005 ("block: unalign
call_single_data in struct request").

The result is a violation of the calling conventions that clang correctly
points out:

block/blk-mq.c:630:39: warning: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
                smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, &amp;rq-&gt;csd);

It does seem that the usage of the call_single_data without cache line
alignment should still be allowed by the smp code, so just change the
function prototype so it accepts both, but leave the default alignment
unchanged for the other users. This seems better to me than adding
a local hack to shut up an otherwise correct warning in the caller.

[ Upstream commit 156ec6f42b8d300dbbf382738ff35c8bad8f4c3a ]

Hung tasks and RCU stall cases were reported on systems which were not
100% busy. Investigation of such unexpected cases (no sign of potential
starvation caused by tasks hogging the system) pointed out that the
periodic sched tick timer wasn't serviced anymore after a certain point
and that caused all machinery that depends on it (timers, RCU, etc.) to
stop working as well. This issues was however only reproducible if
HRTICK was enabled.

Looking at core dumps it was found that the rbtree of the hrtimer base
used also for the hrtick was corrupted (i.e. next as seen from the base
root and actual leftmost obtained by traversing the tree are different).
Same base is also used for periodic tick hrtimer, which might get "lost"
if the rbtree gets corrupted.

Much alike what described in commit 1f71addd34f4c ("tick/sched: Do not
mess with an enqueued hrtimer") there is a race window between
hrtimer_set_expires() in hrtick_start and hrtimer_start_expires() in
__hrtick_restart() in which the former might be operating on an already
queued hrtick hrtimer, which might lead to corruption of the base.

Use hrtick_start() (which removes the timer before enqueuing it back) to
ensure hrtick hrtimer reprogramming is entirely guarded by the base
lock, so that no race conditions can occur.
