[ 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
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	old
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	*new*
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   | *60%*

[ Upstream commit 475ea6c60279e9f2ddf7e4cf2648cd8ae0608361 ]

Will reported that the 'XXX __migrate_task() can fail' in migration_cpu_stop()
can happen, and it *is* sort of a big deal. Looking at it some more, one
will note there is a glaring hole in the deferred CPU selection:

  (w/ CONFIG_CPUSET=n, so that the affinity mask passed via taskset doesn't
  get AND'd with cpu_online_mask)

  $ taskset -pc 0-2 $PID
  # offline CPUs 3-4
  $ taskset -pc 3-5 $PID
    `\
      $PID may stay on 0-2 due to the cpumask_any_distribute() picking an
      offline CPU and __migrate_task() refusing to do anything due to
      cpu_is_allowed().

set_cpus_allowed_ptr() goes to some length to pick a dest_cpu that matches
the right constraints vs affinity and the online/active state of the
CPUs. Reuse that instead of discarding it in the affine_move_task() case.

[ 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().

<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.

[ Upstream commit 00b89fe0197f0c55a045775c11553c0cdb7082fe ]

For all intents and purposes, the idle task is a per-CPU kthread. It isn't
created via the same route as other pcpu kthreads however, and as a result
it is missing a few bells and whistles: it fails kthread_is_per_cpu() and
it doesn't have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set.

Fix the former by giving the idle task a kthread struct along with the
KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU flag. This requires some extra iffery as init_idle()
call be called more than once on the same idle task.

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

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

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().

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

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().

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 4c38f2df71c8e33c0b64865992d693f5022eeaad.

There are few races in the frequency invariance support for CPPC driver,
namely the driver doesn't stop the kthread_work and irq_work on policy
exit during suspend/resume or CPU hotplug.

A proper fix won't be possible for the 5.13-rc, as it requires a lot of
changes. Lets revert the patch instead for now.

<title>sched: Fix out-of-bound access in uclamp</title>

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.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and
   debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface.

 - Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve
   performance &amp; latencies.

 - Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large
   number of CPU cgroups.

 - Improve energy-aware scheduling

 - Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads

 - Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality -
   but without the previous regressions

 - Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending
   need_resched. This is an opt-in feature that requires the enabling of
   the LATENCY_WARN scheduler feature, or the use of the
   resched_latency_warn_ms=xx boot parameter.

 - CPU hotplug fixes for HP-rollback, and for the 'fail' interface. Fix
   remaining balance_push() vs. hotplug holes/races

 - PSI fixes, plus allow /proc/pressure/ files to be written by
   CAP_SYS_RESOURCE tasks as well

 - Fix/improve various load-balancing corner cases vs. capacity margins

 - Fix sched topology on systems with NUMA diameter of 3 or above

 - Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race

 - Minor rseq optimizations

 - Misc cleanups, optimizations, fixes and smaller updates
